The six officers were shot dead on Friday when they attempted to evict about 100 farming families from land they had invaded three weeks ago. At least nine farmers were also killed in the clashes. Police had earlier put the number of officers killed at seven. President Fernando Lugo has ordered the army to the area to restore calm. Territorial disputes are not unusual in Paraguay, but the incident on Friday was the most violent for decades. Police said one of the police officers hurt in the confrontation remained in a serious condition. Relatives of the landless farmers said they had found two more bodies at the site of the clashes, bringing the number of dead civilians to 11, but there has not yet been official confirmation of the find. Murder charges Police said the nine suspects, one of them a 15-year-old boy, were all in custody. They said some of them were being treated for injuries sustained during the eviction attempt. They have been charged with murder, attempted murder and criminal association. The confrontation started in the early hours of Friday, when police moved in on private land which had been occupied by more than 100 landless farmers. According to police official Walter Gomez the officers were ambushed in a wooded area. He said they had not been expecting violence and had wanted to negotiate a "peaceful eviction". Mr Gomez said his officers had been attacked "with high-calibre weapons". Among those killed was the chief of the Police Special Operations Force, Erven Lovera. Battle for land Farmers' leader Jose Rodriguez told Paraguayan radio that those killed "were humble farmers, members of the landless movement, who'd decided to stay and resist". The farmers said the land was illegally taken during the 1954-1989 military rule of Gen Alfredo Stroessner and distributed among his allies. According to the Paraguayan Truth Commission, 6.75 million hectares of land were sold or handed over under "irregular circumstances" during military rule. The Commission says that almost 20% of Paraguayan land can be qualified as "ill-gotten gains". Interior Minster Carlos Filizzola and Chief of Police Paulino Rojas were replaced over the incident. The new Interior Minister, Ruben Candia, said that the evictions would continue, and that they would be carried out "with the full backing of the law".

Nine landless farmers in Paraguay have been charged with murder after six police officers died during clashes in eastern Canindeyu province.

Pitcher Sean Conroy, 23, took the mound for the Sonoma Stompers after agreeing to come out publicly in time for the team stadium's gay pride night. The team is part of the independent Pacific Association of Baseball Clubs. Several baseball players have disclosed their sexual orientation while in retirement but Conroy is thought to be the first active player to do so. New Yorker Conroy joined The Stompers from college in May and had already told his team-mates and coaching staff he was gay, said general manager Theo Fightmaster. "His goal has always been to be the first openly gay baseball player so he was very much in favour of telling the story, of carrying that torch," he said. Major League Baseball historian John Thorn said he thought Conroy was the first active professional to come out. Both Glenn Burke (Oakland Athletics and LA Dodgers) and Billy Bean (Detroit Tigers, LA Dodgers and San Diego Padres) did so after they retired. Conroy told his family he was gay when he was 16 and he said it was important to be honest with his new team-mates, especially when conversation turns to girlfriends. "Instead of getting the different looks or questions when I didn't join them, I'd rather tell you the truth and let you know who I am and have real conversations instead of the fake ones," he said. Some Stompers will wear rainbow-themed socks or symbols to mark the occasion, the club has said. Football: Robbie Rogers scored his first goal for LA Galaxy this week Basketball: Jason Collins played 13 seasons in the NBA American football: Michael Sam was drafted by the St Louis Rams, now plays in Canada Police said "suspicious objects" had been found at Strand Road, County Londonderry, and at Magheralave Park South in Lisburn, County Antrim. A hijacked vehicle was abandoned near Strand Road police station, according to a Democratic Unionist Party MLA. The Lisburn alert was later declared a hoax. Residents have returned to their homes. The security cordon was about 200 yards (180m) outside the gates of Thiepval barracks, according to a BBC eyewitness at the scene. The alert in Derry began shortly before 23:00 GMT on Thursday. Gary Middleton told BBC Radio Ulster that he understood a "suspicious device" had been left inside the hijacked vehicle and described it as a "terrorist act". "It is very unfortunate that it happened on a night when the Christmas lights were switched on in the city, when there were lots of people out enjoying themselves," he said. The DUP MLA for Foyle said it was not yet known who was responsible for the hijacking. "When we see these types of acts, the fingers tend to be pointed at dissident republicans but, again, we're unsure as to the nature of this security alert. "We do know that a vehicle has been hijacked but we're not too certain as to how serious the device is," Mr Middleton said. Strand Road is closed at its junctions with Boating Club Lane and Clarendon Street. Queen Street has also been closed between Clarendon Street and Asylum Road. Traffic diversions are in place. Rohan Beyts is accusing the company of breaching data protection law by filming her without her permission or notice. She claims she was filmed by male employees as she urinated in sand dunes while out walking at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire a year ago. Trump International has denied the claims. The company was run by Donald Trump before he became the US president. Ms Beyts told the court in Edinburgh that she had gone walking with a friend in April last year and had to pass through the Trump International Golf Club to get access to the beach. The 62-year-old said that while on the beach she had gone into the dunes after realising that, due to a medical condition, she needed the toilet urgently. She said she had taken notice of Mountaineering Scotland's guidelines for what to do if you need to urinate outside, and that she would have been horrified if anyone had seen her. Ms Beyts, from Montrose in Angus, told the court: "I needed to go as a matter of urgency. I was crouching down in the dune area. I was covered by Marram grass once I crouched down. "There was no golfers visible." The retired social worker also said the civil action was about a "mixture of things." She added: "Don't be intimidated. Please exercise your right to roam. And it's about not being bullied. I feel being filmed secretly is a bullying act." Three days after the incident, police officers arrived at her house to charge her with urinating in a public place that could cause annoyance. After speaking to police on a further occasion, she was told three men had mobile phone footage of her urinating. The court also heard from the golf course irrigation technician who said he had taken a photograph with his mobile phone of Ms Beyts urinating. But Edward Irvine, 23, said he had not filmed Ms Beyts. He added: "I took her picture for evidence that she was urinating in a public place. I believed that it was a criminal offence to do that." Mr Irvine then gave a statement about what he had witnessed to a police officer. The green keeper also told the court that he had seen golfers urinating on the course. He said those golfers went into bushes before going to the toilet. He said Ms Beyts did not do this and he was able to photograph her. Ms Beyts was reported to the procurator fiscal, but no action was taken against her. She in turn launched a claim for damages against Trump International. The hearing continues.

American Kerron Clement won gold in 47.73 ahead of Kenya's Boniface Tumuti. Barr's time, which cut 0.42 seconds off his Irish record set in the semi-finals, would have earned the 24-year-old a medal at the last three Olympics. Waterford man Barr was aiming to become Ireland's first Olympic track and field medallist since Sonia O'Sullivan's 5,000m silver 16 years ago in Sydney. The University of Limerick graduate was also the first Irishman to compete in an Olympic 400m hurdles final since Bob Tisdall clinched gold in 1932. Barr went into the Games after an injury-affected build-up but clocked 48.93 to progress from his first-round heat before cutting 0.26 seconds off his national record as he won his semi-final to qualify third fastest for the decider. The Waterford man described his performance as "bitter sweet". "I'm absolutely delighted to have made it to the final and I'm also delighted to have seen a 47 up on that clock, which I didn't expect," Barr told RTE. "I expected that it would have to be a 47 to get a medal but I didn't know if I had it in me." The race started amid tension after the disqualification of 2012 bronze medallist Puerto Rico's Javier Culson following his false start. Barr bided his time as he was in sixth position as the runners earned the final straight but finished strongly to end inches behind bronze medallist Copello. However, the Waterford athlete's sub 48-second time represented a huge breakthrough as he firmly established his world-class credentials. "It's insane," laughed the Irishman, as the realisation of his time began to sink in. "I never thought I'd see the day. Especially not this year. Getting to 47 on the clock." Nevertheless, Barr still insisted that he hadn't produced the perfect race. "I came off hurdle six or seven a little bit awkwardly and stuttered a bit into nine and 10 as well and that may have cost me. "Over hurdle 10, I was gaining on them and I thought I would have maybe sneaked it (a medal) on the line but to be anywhere close to a medal....I'm absolutely thrilled." Barr also paid tribute to the large contingent of Irish supporters in the stadium with Katie Taylor, Padraig Harrington and Scott Evans his team-mates there to cheer him on. "The first thing I noticed when I came out on to the track was the amount of Irish flags - not just buried in the crowd but right there on the side of the track. "So even though I didn't win a medal, I felt like I had to do a mini lap of honour and go over there and thank them." The driver is believed to have lost control as he drove at high speed along a ring road leading to Hurghada's airport, the Mena news agency reported. The crash also injured 27 Hungarian tourists, including four children. Poor road conditions and lax enforcement of traffic laws are blamed for a high accident rate in Egypt. The bus was carrying the tourists from their hotel to the airport when the accident happened, officials said. Hurghada is located on the Red Sea coast, about 500km (300 miles) southeast of Cairo. The accident took place on the first day of Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, when many Egyptians and tourists head to Red Sea resorts. Police estimate road accidents kill about 6,000 people annually in the nation with a population of about 82 million. Eight US tourists were killed in a bus crash last December near the southern city of Aswan. Media playback is not supported on this device Luke Marshall and Charles Piutau both notched two tries as Stuart Olding impressed for Ulster at fly-half. Ruan Pienaar, Jacob Stockdale, Craig Gilroy, John Andrew, Olding and Paul Marshall also scored tries as Ulster ran the Italians ragged. An Ulster concern was a knee injury picked up by Marcell Coetzee. Media playback is not supported on this device The Springboks star had to be helped off after only 18 minutes and it was not immediately clear whether it was the same knee that he injured seriously last April when he suffered cruciate ligament damage. Andrea De Marchi's early score helped Zebre level at 7-7 with Guillermo Roan and Lloyd Greeff notching late scores for the outclassed visitors. Ulster are now fourth in the table, having moved four points ahead of the Scarlets, while Les Kiss' side are six points behind their third-placed Irish rivals Munster. Saturday's game saw Ulster rack up their biggest ever points total, beating the 67 points scored against Caerphilly in 2002 Media playback is not supported on this device Ulster had their bonus point in the bag by the 26th minute after centre Marshall's two early scores and further tries from Pienaar and Piutau. Zebre prop De Marchi had barged his way through some weak Ulster tackling for a 13th-minute score but it was the visitors' only moment of success in the first period as the home side cut through them at will. Ireland centre Olding suggested he could be a future fly-half option for club and country as he impressively directed the Ulster backline in addition to scoring a late try. Jared Payne, meanwhile, is likely to be in Joe Schmidt's thoughts for next week's Six Nations finale against England after his assured full-back display before being hauled off after 55 minutes. Payne's brilliant long pass set up Gilroy's try shortly after the resumption and a horrible Greeff fumble on his own line gifted Piutau Ulster's seventh try before replacements Andrew and Paul Marshall got in on the scoring act to bring up the home team's try count to double figures. A misdirected Olding pass helped gift Zebre's second try to replacement prop Roan while Greeff's late effort was the final touchdown of the game but those scores didn't mask another chastening evening for Italian rugby.

Referee: Ian Davies (Wales) With the results in from all 32 council areas, the "No" side won with 2,001,926 votes over 1,617,989 for "Yes". Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond called for unity and urged the unionist parties to deliver on more powers. Prime Minister David Cameron said he was delighted the UK would remain together and that commitments on extra powers would be honoured "in full". Mr Cameron said the three main unionist parties at Westminster would now follow through with their pledge of more powers for the Scottish Parliament. He announced that Lord Smith of Kelvin, who led Glasgow's staging of the Commonwealth Games, would oversee the process to take forward the commitments, with new powers over tax, spending and welfare to be agreed by November, and draft legislation published by January. Scottish referendum results in detail The prime minister also acknowledged that the people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland must have a bigger say over their affairs. And he promised a solution to the West Lothian question - the fact that Scottish MPs can vote on English issues at Westminster, and not the other way round. In other developments: The result became a mathematical certainty at 06:08, as the returning officer in Fife announced a comfortable No vote. Shortly afterwards, Mr Salmond said he accepted the defeat and called for national unity. He told supporters: "The unionist parties made vows late in the campaign to devolve more powers to Scotland. "Scotland will expect these to be honoured in rapid course - as a reminder, we have been promised a second reading of a Scotland Bill by March 27 next year. And the first minister said: "Whatever else we can say about this referendum campaign, we have touched sections of the community who have never before been touched by politics, these sections of the community have touched us and touched the political process." In a rallying call to his supporters, Mr Salmond urged the Yes voters to reflect on how far they had come."I don't think any of us, whenever we entered politics, would have thought such a thing to be either credible or possible," he said. He also claimed the campaign had put "a scare and a fear of enormous proportions" at the heart of the Westminster establishment. "Today of all days as we bring Scotland together, let us not dwell on the distance we have fallen short, let us dwell on the distance we have travelled and have confidence the movement is abroad in Scotland that will take this nation forward," he added. The margin of victory for the Better Together campaign - 55% to 45% - was greater by about 3% than that anticipated by the final opinion polls. The winning total needed was 1,852,828. Speaking in Downing Street, Mr Cameron said the result was decisive. He said: "Now the debate has been settled for a generation, or as Alex Salmond has said: 'Perhaps for a lifetime'. "So there can be no disputes, no re-runs; we have heard the will of the Scottish people." The prime minister also spoke of the implications for the other nations of the UK. "In Wales there are proposals to give the Welsh Government and Assembly more powers and I want Wales to be at the heart of the debate on how to make the United Kingdom work for all our nations," he said. "In Northern Ireland, we must work to ensure that the devolved institutions function effectively." Mr Cameron said "millions of voices of England must also be heard". "The question of English votes for English laws, the so-called West Lothian question, requires a decisive answer so just as Scotland will vote separately in the Scottish Parliament on their issues on tax, spending and welfare, so too England as well as Wales and Northern Ireland should be able to vote on these issues. "And all this must take place in tandem with and at the same pace as the settlement for Scotland." Analysis by Andrew Marr, author and BBC presenter What started as a vote on whether Scotland would leave the UK has ended with an extraordinary constitutional revolution announced outside Downing Street by the Prime Minister. It throws down the gauntlet to the Labour Party, and hints that we are going to see very big change coming and it had better come quickly. We always used to be told that if you laid all the economists in the world end to end they still wouldn't reach a conclusion and I think that could be said often about parliamentary committees and inquiries and commissions. Well, it can't happen this time because it's not taking place in a sealed room with the Westminster parties, the old smug consensus, getting round an argument with each other as before. This is really taking place in a huge glass house, being watched by all the Scottish voters and by millions of people around the UK. What the Scottish shock has done is produce a constitutional revolution on a very, very tight timetable. Possibly the most exciting political story in my lifetime. Following his appointment by the prime minister, Lord Smith of Kelvin said he had begun work to oversee the process of delivering more powers for the Scottish Parliament. He said: "There is an appetite for change and a strengthening of the powers for the Scottish Parliament. This is backed by all the main political parties. "My role is to create a process through which we can channel that energy into real action. "This won't be a drawn out process; I have started work today and will present what I hope will be unifying recommendations on 30th November." Lord Kelvin said there would be an opportunity for "everyone to have their say". He promised to engage with all political parties, trade unions, businesses or voluntary organisations and listen to "ideas and thoughts" from ordinary people. Alistair Darling, who led the Better Together campaign, said the people of Scotland had "chosen unity over division and positive change rather than needless separation". "It is a momentous result for Scotland and also for the United Kingdom as a whole," he said. Mr Darling said the result had "reaffirmed all that we have in common and the bonds that tie us together", adding: "Let them never be broken." "As we celebrate, let us also listen," he said. Across Scotland, the "No" vote had a majority in 28 of the country's 32 local authority areas. Dundee was the first area to back independence. On a turnout of 78.8%, "Yes" polled 53,620 votes to the "No" campaign's 39,880. The other three areas were all clustered in Labour's traditional west of Scotland heartland. Glasgow, Scotland's largest council area and the third largest city in Britain, voted in favour of independence by 194,779 to 169,347, although turnout was lower than in other areas at 75%. West Dunbartonshire also gave its backing to independence, voting 54% to 46% in favour, with North Lanarkshire completing the "Yes" quartet by 51% to 49%. In Scotland's 28 other local authority areas, it was a night of huge disappointment for the pro-independence movement. Hoped-for breakthroughs in other traditional Labour strongholds such as South Lanarkshire, Inverclyde and across Ayrshire never materialised. Edinburgh, the nation's capital, clearly rejected independence by 194,638 to 123,927 votes, while Aberdeen City voted "No" by a margin of more than 20,000 votes. Royal correspondent Nick Witchell at Balmoral Balmoral seems very remote and cut off but of course the Royal Family has been following this minutely. Reaction - one word, relief. Relief that's it's over, relief that Scotland has decided what it has. The Queen undoubtedly, privately would have felt immense sadness had the United Kingdom been split up. Relief too for her officials who had been starting to contemplate some very tricky constitutional issues. Once all the politicians have said what they wish to say, I think this afternoon it is expected that the Queen will issue a short written statement. It seems logical to surmise that after this really quite divisive campaign she will concentrate on the vote, the decision that Scotland has taken, and express the hope that Scotland will now move on. Brian Ambrose said talks with government had taken place to establish if Stormont could aid the airport. Frankfurt, Munich and Brussels are among his targets for new services. He told BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Business programme: "Whether we get them across the line in one year or five remains to be seen." Vueling, an airline new to Northern Ireland, recently announced it would start flights between George Best Belfast City airport and Barcelona next year. Belfast International has also unveiled ten new routes, including Iceland. A report on air connectivity is due to be published by Stormont in the coming months, and a new air development fund, similar to one that ran a decade ago, is being explored. "We are working with government on funding these new routes," Mr Ambrose said. "If we can find a state-aid compliant way of supporting route development, then the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment are up for that challenge." In 2003, a £4m fund helped attract new routes such as New York. Inside Business is on BBC Radio Ulster at 13:30 GMT on Sunday. Convicts could cut 30 days off their jail terms if they published a work of literature or science. Justice Minister Raluca Pruna said abuse of the system had spiralled out of control, and the law was being changed by emergency decree. Last year, convicts published more than 300 books - some churned out several books in record time. "According to prison administration figures, the number of books published by detainees went from one a year between 2007 and 2010, to 90 in 2014, and 340 last year," Ms Pruna told a news conference. "Given that the phenomenon has spiralled out of control, I have proposed that the government repeal this arrangement via emergency decree," she added. Romania's anti-corruption prosecutors are investigating whether prisoners had ghost writers, the AP news agency reports. A statement cited the case of a 212-page book written by an unidentified prisoner in under seven hours. Prisoners have no access to the internet or books. The law was originally passed in 2006. Chris Coleman's side fell to 15th from an all-time high of eighth in October. Northern Ireland are up six places to 29th, two below their highest ranking, after also qualifying for Euro 2016. England move up one place to ninth, Scotland fall four places to 44th, while Belgium top the rankings for the first time in their history, ahead of Germany and previous leaders Argentina. Republic of Ireland, who face a Euro 2016 play-off against Bosnia-Herzegovina, rose 12 places to 42nd.

Many UK businesses and law enforcement agencies rely on EU data. One legal expert said the paper was a "step forward" but overlooked some key points. The paper puts forward the UK government's position that a UK-EU model for exchanging and protecting data will be essential to maintain a "deep and special partnership" - a phrase used four times in the document. Regarding how to achieve this, the government suggests that the Information Commissioner be "fully involved" in future EU regulatory discussions. It also raises the possibility of the UK and EU mutually recognising each other's data protection rules as the basis for allowing the free flow of data to continue. And there should be an agreed timeline for implementing more long-term arrangements to reassure businesses, the government adds. "It will help businesses who need to be able to plan their future - they need a sense of what the law will be," said Dr Karen Mc Cullagh, a legal expert at the University of East Anglia. However, the UK's approach to surveillance might give EU negotiators cause for concern when considering business-as-usual, she added. "[The paper overlooks] some important facts - the most important one being the Investigatory Powers Act which is likely to present a hurdle." On the idea that the Information Commissioner should still have access to EU regulatory dialogue, Dr Mc Cullagh said: "There will be a concern that [UK lawmakers] will lose the ability to influence if they're not at the table, if they can't shape future laws." Earlier this month, the government said that it would implement the EU's overarching General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) within British law. These regulations allow for bigger fines on firms that flout the rules - and it will also be easier for consumers to control information about them online and in databases controlled by companies. "We want the secure flow of data to be unhindered in the future as we leave the EU," said Matt Hancock, Minister for Digital, on the publication of the paper. "So a strong future data relationship between the UK and EU, based on aligned data protection rules, is in our mutual interest." Many UK businesses, law enforcement agencies and research institutions rely on quick and easy access to EU data in order to do their work. In fact, the UK has the largest internet economy as a percentage of GDP out of all the G20 countries, according to the Boston Consulting Group - and much of that relies on data flowing freely. A House of Lords report recently found that if data transfers were hindered, "the UK could be put at a competitive disadvantage and the police could lose access to information and intelligence mechanisms". The GDPR means that - once implemented next year - data transfers across the EU will be updated and aligned between member states. At the moment, the UK's access to EU data is largely safeguarded, but upon leaving the union and - potentially - the European Economic Area, it will need to show that it still protects data properly. An assessment that the UK meets data "adequacy" requirements will have to come from the European Commission and it is currently unclear whether such a decision will be made quickly when the UK leaves. Another important factor is the EU-US Privacy Shield, which was set up to tighten controls after Edward Snowden's revelations about US intelligence agency snooping. The UK's position has its complexities - not least thanks to the Investigatory Powers Act, which Sir Tim Berners-Lee has called a "security nightmare". "Unless the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 is amended, it is highly likely that the UK will not be granted an adequacy decision and data flows will be blocked," says Dr Mc Cullagh. Plus, once out of the EU, the UK will also depart the EU-US Privacy Shield - meaning that the EU could raise concerns about data it passes to the UK. Might such data, for example, be transferred to the US without EU-worthy oversights? These are potential stumbling blocks for Britain as it moves out of the EU - but seeks to retain the same access to data that it enjoyed as a member state. The vehicle, which had been making a delivery, became wedged at the junction of Crockherbtown Lane and Park Place, close to the New Theatre. After getting assistance, the driver was able to eventually manoeuvre the lorry free. A Cardiff council spokesman said: "This wasn't your normal three-point-turn, it was more like a 23 point-turn". There was no damage to the nearby buildings or disruption to traffic on major roads. 12 July 2016 Last updated at 08:52 BST The 59-year-old politician will take over from David Cameron, who announced he would be stepping down from the job last month. But who is she? Ayshah's been taking a look. Conor Townsend gave the hosts an early lead when he fired into the top corner after being played in by Josh Morris. Abdou grabbed Wimbledon's equaliser midway through the second-half with a volley from the edge of the penalty area. After Townsend had put the Iron ahead, Andy Barcham curled wide against his former club as the Dons tried to respond. Cody McDonald slashed wide after latching onto Deji Oshilaja's pass and Barcham saw another effort blocked by debutant Rory McArdle. After the break Abdou lashed a good chance over the bar, but made a better contact to level the contest after 67 minutes. Lyle Taylor found the side-netting and Paul Robinson saw an effort parried away by Matt Gilks as the visitors sought a winner. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

The agreement is designed to replace the Safe Harbour pact, which the EU Court of Justice ruled invalid in 2015. One key change is a commitment from the White House regarding bulk collection of data sent from the EU to the US. The UK's Information Commissioner said a post-Brexit UK may have to adopt EU data protection rules to trade with it. If approved by the EU member states, the pact could take effect in July. The EU-US Privacy shield is designed to make it easy for organisations to transfer data across the Atlantic. Key points of the agreement are: However, in May the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) said the Privacy Shield agreement needed to provide "adequate protection against indiscriminate surveillance" and "obligations on oversight, transparency, redress and data protection rights". The agreement has now been amended. Some of the changes include: A spokesman for the European Commission said: "This new framework for transatlantic data flows protects the fundamental rights of Europeans and ensures legal certainty for businesses." While the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement would only apply to the UK while it remained a member of the European Union, the UK's Information Commissioner said Britain would probably need to adopt similar terms. "If the UK wants to trade with the single market on equal terms we would have to prove 'adequacy' - in other words, UK data protection standards would have to be equivalent to the EU's General Data Protection Regulation framework starting in 2018," said a spokeswoman for the Information Commissioner's office in a statement. "With so many businesses and services operating across borders, international consistency around data protection laws and rights is crucial both to businesses and organisations and to consumers and citizens." Should Christensen remain out, Michael Kightly is likely to keep his place, while former Ipswich striker Luke Varney will hope for a recall. Ipswich midfielder Cole Skuse is set to return to action, having missed two matches after suffering concussion. Forward Tom Lawrence is expected to start after a groin injury. It had been only two years since the last UK-wide poll, won by Mrs May's predecessor, David Cameron. And under the relatively recent Fixed-Term Parliaments Act, another general election had not been due until 2020. On top of that, when she had been asked whether she was tempted to capitalise on her healthy poll ratings and go to the country, Mrs May had given an emphatic "no". "I think the next election will be in 2020... I'm not going to be calling a snap election" she told the BBC's Andrew Marr in September 2016 . But that all seemed to change over the course of the Easter break. As Britain went back to work on the day after Easter Monday, Mrs May stood on the steps of Downing Street to deliver her surprise call for an election. Her stated reason was to strengthen her hand in Brexit negotiations. With official Brexit talks with the EU due to start in mid-June, Mrs May claimed Labour, the SNP and the Lib Dems would try to destabilise and frustrate the process in Parliament. Sorry, your browser cannot display this content. Enter a postcode or seat name "If we do not hold a general election now, their political game-playing will continue," Mrs May said in her address to the country, "and the negotiations with the European Union will reach their most difficult stage in the run-up to the next scheduled election." The timing was important in Mrs May's mind. Unless all sides agree to extend Brexit talks, the UK is due to leave the European Union on 29 March, 2019. As things stood, that would have given the government little more than a year to show the deal it had achieved was working before the next scheduled general election. By gaining a fresh five-year term in 2017, Mrs May could look forward to a longer bedding-in period for the fruits of her negotiations. The extra time could be used to negotiate free trade agreements that are seen as critical to the UK's post-Brexit future. But while navigating Brexit was her declared reason, many political commentators believed Mrs May couldn't resist the opportunity presented by the opinion polls. A flurry of polls around the middle of April showed the Conservatives about 20 points ahead of Labour. And if her poll ratings were to be believed, she could have expected to be returned as prime minister with a greatly strengthened majority in the House of Commons. There was even talk of a Tory landslide victory when some polls early in the campaign showed a 20-percentage point gap between the Conservatives and Labour. A beefed-up majority would have made her less vulnerable to the whims and demands of her own backbenchers if they didn't like the way the government's negotiations were shaping up. Such division in Parliament would "risk our ability to make a success of Brexit and it will cause damaging uncertainty and instability to the country", she said. "Every vote for the Conservatives means we can stick to our plan for a stronger Britain and take the right long-term decisions for a more secure future." However, that hope looks to have been dashed. A BBC forecast of election results says the Conservatives are at risk of losing their overall majority, while remaining the largest party in Westminster. If that were to happen, Mrs May's gamble on a snap election will be seen as a very poor decision. The Institute of Public Policy Research suggests if excluded students with undiagnosed problems were included, the rate would be much higher. This figure compares with one in 50 pupils in the wider population who have a mental health condition. The government said it would be publishing plans to improve mental health services later in the year. The research comes as the number of fixed term and permanent exclusions is rising. Figures just published show that last year, some 6,685 pupils were excluded permanently from state primary, secondary and special schools. Some 35 pupils were excluded every day in 2015-16 - five more daily than in the previous year. Eight out of 10 permanent exclusions happen in secondary schools. Here, the rate of permanent exclusions has increased from 0.15% in 2014-15 to 0.17% in 2015-16 - equivalent to 17 pupils per 10,000. Overall, there were 346,000 permanent and fixed-term exclusions handed out to pupils at state-funded schools in 2014-15 - the highest number since 2009. IPPR associate fellow Kiran Gill, founder of The Difference campaign on the issue, said: "Theresa May says she is committed to improving mental health of young people. "Addressing the most vulnerable children being thrown out of England's schools is a good place to start. "Because unequal treatment of mental health may be an injustice, but the discrimination of school exclusions is a crime." Her campaign aims to break the link between school exclusion and social exclusion in "a burningly unjust system", and ensure vulnerable young people get the good quality schooling they need to change their lives. "If the government is serious about real action on mental health, there needs to be dedicated funding and thought-through solutions rather than sticking plasters in the symptoms of the problem," Ms Gill added. Official figures showed 99% of pupils permanently excluded from mainstream schools do not get the five good GCSEs required by many employers. According to the IPPR report, nearly two-thirds of the prison population was excluded from school at some point. A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "Any decision to exclude must be lawful, reasonable and fair and we are clear permanent exclusion should only be used as a last resort, in response to a serious breach or persistent breaches of the school's behaviour policy. "This government is committed to working with local authorities and schools to ensure children in alternative provision receive a high-quality education. "We are strengthening the links between schools and NHS mental health staff and have announced plans for every secondary school to be offered mental health first aid training." But Kevin Courtney, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said the rise in exclusions was a "concerning trend" and the DfE should consider what was driving the exclusions. "NUT members tell us that as the curriculum gets narrower and children's experience of school is ever more focused on preparation for tests and exams, more students are becoming disengaged from school which in turn leads to problems with behaviour and mental health problems." Storm were disbanded in 2002 after financial problems, but returned to the top flight in 2015 when they replaced Hull Stingrays after their liquidation. The club finished ninth in their first season back and then eighth during the 2016-17 campaign. "The club have made excellent strides inside the first two seasons," said storm general manager Neil Russell, "I know that the new ownership is very determined to continue the excellent growth that we have shown." Trailing 2-1 from Saturday, the Swedish team took Sunday's first race in Bermuda by 15 seconds to level matters. New Zealand came from behind to win the next two, the most dramatic of which came via a sprint finish in the last. Artemis protested over the course steered by New Zealand but the umpire ruled there had been no fault. The final will conclude on Monday. Emirates Team New Zealand have six Olympians in their squad, while Artemis have a total of eight, including Britain's Iain Percy, who won two golds and a silver across three Olympics from 2000 to 2012. Holders Oracle Team USA await the winners of the challenger final in the America's Cup. The first to seven points wins the America's Cup, or the Auld Mug as the trophy is known, with a possible 13 races to be sailed on 17-18 and 24-27 June. The America's Cup, the oldest competition in international sport, was first raced in 1851 around the Isle of Wight and has been won by only four nations. The Drovers Inn in Gussage All Saints, near Cranborne, closed in November 2014 and was later sold but the buyer's plan to turn it into homes was refused. Villagers who fought to get the pub listed as a community asset took possession of the keys last Friday. The Gussage Community Benefit Society hope to reopen it in late May or early June. The society said it had so far raised £160,000 through a community share offer and had successfully applied for a mortgage. Society secretary Sally Marlow said: "We have got a refurbishment project that we are kicking off, taking about three months. "We have changed the locks and we have got the boards off the windows. The chimney man is going to reline the chimney next week and we're getting the roof re-tiled. We have got a lot of volunteer helpers." The group is continuing to raise money to for the internal works and equipment. Walter Palmer's dental practice in Minneapolis has been closed since he was named as the tourist who shot Cecil, Zimbabwe's most famous lion. Two Zimbabwean men have been charged over the death and local police say Mr Palmer may also face poaching charges. He says he thought the hunt was legal and was unaware Cecil was protected. In a letter sent to his "valued" patients on Tuesday, Mr Palmer said he had been in the news "for reasons that have nothing to do with my profession or the care I provide for you". He described himself as a "life-long hunter" but said he rarely discussed his passion with patients "because it can be a divisive and emotionally charged topic". Echoing an earlier statement, he insisted that he thought the hunt was legal and said he would assist authorities in Zimbabwe or the US in their inquiries. Cecil, who was a major tourist attraction at Zimbabwe's largest game reserve in Hwange National Park, is believed to have died on 1 July, but the carcass was not discovered until a few days later. How the internet descended on Walter Palmer When is hunting not poaching? Mr Palmer is said to have shot and injured the animal with a bow and arrow. The group did not find the wounded lion until 40 hours later, when he was shot dead with a gun. The lion was later skinned and beheaded, according to the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force (ZCTF), a local charity. The animal had a GPS collar fitted for a research project by UK-based Oxford University that allowed authorities to track its movements. The hunters had tried to destroy it but failed, according to the ZCTF. Mr Palmer's dental practice has closed its website and social media accounts since his identity was revealed after thousands of people flooded them with angry comments. A protest was held outside the building on Wednesday. About 100 protesters, both adults and children, stood around holding posters that had messages like "Justice for Cecil", "Trophy hunters are cowards" and "Prosecute poachers". Protesters chanted "Extradite! Extradite!" Mr Palmer was nowhere to be seen. Two women from the Minneapolis-based Animals Rights Coalition said they organised the protest to raise awareness about animal cruelty. "We put together this protest because we don't think animals are trophies and shouldn't be used for sport," said Chelsea Hassler of the group. A man walks to the door of Walter Palmer's surgery and affixes a poster. It reads: "rot in hell". A woman remonstrates with him. "That's completely inappropriate," she says, "he's still a human being". The man, unperturbed, refuses to take down the notice and the argument continues. There are about 50 people hanging around outside Mr Palmer's surgery - which is closed - today's fillings going unfilled. One protester brandishes a banner saying "let the hunter be the hunted" and a woman opines that he should hang for what he's done. The police look on, no doubt bemused at the news crews and satellite trucks that occupy this suburban street in Minneapolis. Earlier on Wednesday, professional hunter Theo Bronkhorst pleaded not guilty to a charge of "failing to prevent an unlawful hunt" at a court in Zimbabwe's capital Harare. He was granted bail of $1,000 (£640) and ordered to appear in court again on 5 August. His co-accused - farm owner Honest Ndlovu - will appear at a later date. The American tourist is believed to have paid about $50,000 (£32,000) to go on the hunt in Zimbabwe. He is well known in the American hunting community. In 2006, he was found guilty of killing a black bear outside an authorised zone in the state of Wisconsin and lying to authorities about it. He was fined $3,000 (£1,900). Mr Palmer has visited Zimbabwe for hunting trips in the past and one image posted online in 2010 shows him posing with a leopard he killed. 35,000 Max estimated lion population 12,000 Max lion population in southern Africa 665 Approx number of 'trophy' lions killed for export from Africa per year 49 Lion 'trophies' exported from Zimbabwe in 2013 0.29% Contribution to GDP of Zimbabwe from trophy hunting 17% Of Zimbabwe's land given to trophy hunting Around 40 traders and shoppers marched through the centre of Cardigan on Wednesday calling for two hours of free parking for visitors. Local shops said their trade increased by up to 20% last year when parking machines in the town's four car parks were vandalised and out of use. Ceredigion council said parking charges must be "consistent" in all towns. The march was led by the chairman of Cardigan Traders, Martyn Radley, who has called on Ceredigion council to give local traders "a level playing field" with out-of-town businesses. Ceredigion council said the matter had been discussed and the view is that "parking charges must be applied consistently across all towns within Ceredigion". The council added the charges are necessary both in terms of covering the cost of providing car parking facilities and helping to meet the "extraordinary financial pressures" facing the authority. Traders have vowed to continue their campaign for free parking. More than 40 others were wounded by the blast, which occurred at 12:00 (09:00 GMT) at the facility in Taji, about 25km (15 miles) north of the capital. One report said potential new recruits gathered outside were the target. Although violence has decreased in Iraq since its peak in 2006 and 2007, insurgent attacks are still common. On Monday, two car bombings killed at least four people and wounded 16 others around Baghdad. The first took place at a market in the mainly Shia district of al-Ubaidi, while the second struck an army patrol in Taji, wounding several soldiers. It is not clear how many of the victims of Tuesday's blast were soldiers. One report said as many as 22 were among the dead. The explosion appears to have occurred as they left the base at lunchtime and walked towards minibuses waiting to transport them. However, sources told the AFP news agency there had also been a recruitment event on Tuesday to welcome potential new soldiers. Mohammed Talal told the New York Times he had been among the would-be recruits. He said the crowd of applicants had been told to check their names against lists posted on the walls outside. "I was heading to the place near the parking lot to check my name when all of sudden a strong explosion happened where the people was gathering," he added. "I turned and started to run, and I began to feel shrapnel in my back and I fell to the ground." Such recruitment events have been targeted by militants in the past. In January 2011, a suicide bomber blew himself up among a crowd of police recruits in the city of Tikrit, killing 50 people. Following Tuesday's blast, heavy security was in place around Kadhamiya hospital, where many of the victims were taken for treatment. The incident is believed to be the deadliest single attack in Iraq since 23 July, when a series of co-ordinated blasts - also in Taji - killed 42 people. No group has said it was behind the bombing, although previous attacks on army bases have been claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq, a radical Sunni Islamist militant umbrella group that includes al-Qaeda. Both Ireland and Afghanistan were granted Test status by being awarded full membership to the International Cricket Council (ICC) last week. "To be honest there are so many pieces of the jigsaw," said Deutrom. "We are probably somewhere between not wanting to wait years for our first Test match versus making sure we have the appropriate sense of occasion." The two countries were voted in unanimously to become the first newcomers since Bangladesh in 2000 and take the number of full ICC members to 12. Ireland have been playing as associate members since 1993 and have recorded famous victories over Pakistan, England and the West Indies in that time. Deutrom said last week they were hoping to play England in a Test match at Lord's. But scheduling a first match may take some organising and Deutrom believes it could prove difficult to arrange around the other nations' full schedules. "Another consideration is that we are ready to play our first Test match as we haven't played a five-day game yet. "History would suggest that new full members play their first Test, at home, against a big nation within a year. "But I know how much busier the full members are with their own schedules so trying to find a gap within 12 months in an already-congested schedule is incredibly difficult. "We are going to do our best, we will have as many conversations as possible, but I can't put any members on the spot, although quite a few have been generous to say 'let's have a conversation'. "I don't want to express disappointment if no-one is available because I know how packed those schedules are." With most Test-playing nations having fixtures planned, it could be that Ireland make their bow against fellow newcomers Afghanistan, with neither Deutrom nor his Afghan Cricket Board counterpart Shafiq Stanikzai ruling out that possibility last week. Customers had been using social media on Monday morning to complain about problems accessing both the bank's web and app services. NatWest said the issues around the lack of services had been resolved after one hour, and apologised "for any inconvenience caused". The problem came three days after NatWest and HSBC experienced issues with their payments system. NatWest said at the time that Friday's problems "did not originate" with itself. Last month, NatWest said it was the target of a series of deliberate cyber attacks that meant customers could not access the bank's online systems. Sir Nicholas Wall's family said the 71-year-old had suffered for several years from a rare neurological disease called fronto temporal lobe dementia. Sir Nicholas became president of the High Court's Family Division in 2010 but retired on health grounds in 2012. The Family Law Bar Association said he was "a compassionate judge who... cared deeply about the outcome of his cases". Sir Nicholas, who was called to the Bar in 1969, became a recorder in 1990 and then a judge of the High Court Family Division in 1993. He went on to work at the Employment Appeal Tribunal, the Administrative Court and Court of Appeal. In a 2011 interview with the Times, Sir Nicholas said a "live-in lovers" law would protect women in long-term relationships from losing their home and income in a break-up with their partner. A year later he suggested couples should be allowed to divorce without having to blame one or the other, saying he could "see no good arguments against no-fault divorce". A death notice in the Times says Sir Nicholas "died by his own hand on 17th February 2017". In a statement, Sir Nicholas's family said he "took his own life having suffered for several years" from a disease that "had only recently been diagnosed". Sir James Munby, his successor as President of the Family Division, said: "Sir Nicholas often spoke with passion, and in plain language, about the importance of family life, the good practice of family law, and the proper administration and resourcing of family justice. "He was appropriately outspoken about the plight of children caught up in the midst of parental conflict. "He expressed his deep concern again and again about the impact of domestic abuse on children and on family life." The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said it was not possible to guarantee the powers would not adversely impact on Scottish or UK budgets. It also said the Barnett formula that calculates Scotland's share of UK spending should be reformed. This would defy a key recommendation of the Smith Commission. But in a joint paper, co-written by the University of Stirling and the Centre on Constitutional Change, the IFS said different ways of calculating the block grant Holyrood receives from Westminster, after the new powers contained in the Scotland Bill are devolved, could mean differences of more than £1bn a year to Scotland's budget. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she will block the bill, which will hand new powers over areas such as income tax and VAT, unless it comes with an appropriate funding formula that is "fair for Scotland". Her stance has been backed by Lord Smith of Kelvin, who chaired cross-party devolution talks after the independence referendum. The House of Lords economic affairs committee has also argued the process for determining the fiscal framework is flawed and that its design principles may not be workable. Talks between the Scottish and UK governments over the fiscal framework are continuing, with both sides having said they are hopeful an agreement can be reached. The IFS said that the precise way in which the remaining block grants are calculated and indexed over time could mean differences of more than £1bn a year in the Scottish government's budget in the space of a decade or so. If an unreformed Barnett formula remained in place it would be impossible to design a system that satisfied the Smith Commission's principle that there should be "no detriment as a result of the decision to devolve a power" while also fully achieving the "taxpayer fairness" principle, the IFS said. David Bell, professor of economics at Stirling University and co-author of the report, said: "The options available for calculating the block grant adjustments and other elements of the fiscal framework will have major effects on the Scottish government's budget and the fiscal risks and incentives it faces. "These issues should be part of the public and parliamentary debate, as much as the tax and welfare powers set out in the Scotland Bill itself have been." David Phillips, a senior research economist at the IFS and co-author, said: "It may now be time for a more fundamental reassessment of how the devolved governments are financed: including whether the Barnett formula should be reformed. "Reform of Barnett may remove some of the conflicts between the Smith Commission's principles that we have identified. "The Smith Commission parked these issues to one side by committing to the current Barnett formula. Making the UK's fiscal framework sustainable for the long term may require reopening the debate." The 4m (13ft) bronze sculpture will be situated beside the River Thames at Runnymede and will be unveiled on 14 June. It shows the Queen in full Garter Robes and has been inspired by the 1954 and 1969 portraits by Pietro Annigoni. It has been gifted by Runnymede Magna Carta Legacy, a charity reported to have raised more than £300,000. The unveiling of the statue, which will be located within Runnymede Pleasure Ground, coincides with the Thames River Pageant. Runnymede Borough Council has invited members of the public to comment on the proposed statue, and the landscaping of the garden surrounding it, by 27 March. The plans, similar to those due to be introduced in the United Kingdom, could generate more than £1m for the public purse in its first year, he said. Money raised would help tackle obesity. The UK government has already confirmed it will push ahead with its plan to introduce a Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL) from 1 April 2018. There will be two bands in the UK - one for soft drinks with more than 5g of sugar per 100ml and a higher one for drinks with more than 8g per 100ml. In his maiden budget speech, Mr Cannan said government would invest the revenue in programmes to "reduce childhood obesity and encourage physical activity and balanced diets". He predicted the tax take would fall over time as "producers and consumers shift their behaviour" away from high-sugar drinks. Mr Cannan said the Treasury was negotiating with the UK to avoid the "headache of double taxation" for local businesses and government. There will be an exemption for the smallest Manx producers and also businesses importing soft drinks from very small producers. Sumrith Thanakarnjanasuth, one of a Thai consortium to take over the club in 2014, said the new training ground plans were still being finalised. Speaking to the BBC after the Royal's 1-0 win over Preston North End, he said final details were being worked over. The club bought land in Bearwood Park for the training ground in 2013. Mr Thanakarnjanasuth said: "It's a bit delayed because the plans are not settled yet, there's been a lot of change, but we look forward to building that up. "The drawing, even the location and the number of pitches, has not been settled yet, but we're working on that now." The Championship football club received planning permission to build on the 120-acre site in 2015. It was hoped the facility would be ready by 2016. Prisons inspector Martin Lomas said although his team thought the jail was improving there was a long way to go in tackling some of the issues raised. The prevalence of drugs were also highlighted in the report. The National Offender Management Service said the governor and his staff had worked extremely hard and deserved credit for the progress made. Significant overcrowding was another area for concern in the report, which followed an inspection in November. First-night arrangements for prisoners were also described as being "chaotic". Mr Lomas said: "Overall, Lincoln is a much improved prison. When we visited in 2012 we described a prison that was poorly led and failing. "I think we found across the operation it was much better than it had been." However, he said there was a perceived fear of violence among prisoners, which needed to be taken seriously and dealt with. He added: "It is a constant battle - they have to keep on, keeping on - and while we recognise there has been much improvement - we don't shy away from making the point that more needs to be done." Prior to the inspection, an inmate was charged with murder after a 73-year-old man was found dead in his cell, and there have been two suicides since the last inspection. The HM Inspectorate of Prisons report also found there was no strategy in place for managing about 80 sex offenders who were described as being in denial about their crimes. The prison was praised for promoting equality and diversity, although prisoners from black and minority ethnic backgrounds expressed more negative perceptions of the prison. Michael Spurr, chief executive officer of the National Offender Management Service, said he was pleased the chief inspector had recognised "the significant improvements that have been made at Lincoln despite the challenging operating environment". "The governor and his staff have worked extremely hard and deserve credit for the progress made. "There remains more to do and we will use the recommendations in this report to support further improvements." HMP Lincoln is a category B prison, which is also used to relieve overcrowding at other prisons in the East Midlands. Chasing 271, the visitors looked well set on 151-1 in the 29th over before Daryl Mitchell (3-38) and John Hastings (3-50) tore through the Durham order. Graham Clark struck 114 and Keaton Jennings 47, but no other visiting batsman reached 20 as they made 255-9. The hosts, who guaranteed themselves a quarter-final place, made 270-8 led by Brett D'Oliveira (73 not out). Opener Tom Kohler-Cadmore compiled 48 from 59 deliveries, while England all-rounder Moeen Ali struck six fours in his 34. The hosts still looked to be falling short when Durham's opening pair shared a partnership of 122 before Moeen took the key wicket of Jennings. Worcestershire, who have now won five of their seven One-Day Cup matches to overtake Yorkshire, will finish top of the group and secure a home semi-final if they win their day-nighter on Tuesday at Derby. Durham are fourth after four wins and two losses, but their hopes of a quarter-final place no longer rests in their own hands. They need to beat Lancashire on Tuesday and hope Notts slip up against Northants. Worcestershire skipper Joe Leach told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "We probably looked a bit dead and buried after 25 overs but it is testament to the belief in the side and the run we are on that we believed we could win. "That showed and as soon as we got that first wicket, we swarmed all over them and they panicked a little bit. In days gone by we might have folded and got hammered but we've got a very talented group. "To show that character stands us in very good stead, especially going into what are the knockout stages of the competition now." Durham head coach Jon Lewis told BBC Newcastle: "I don't think it ever looked quite like a stroll. It was a good partnership. But it never quite got the run rate down. It held the run rate steady. "As a fielding team, you know if it is still staying steady and you get a new guy at the crease, you can try and impose yourself which, to be fair to Worcestershire, they did very well. They squeezed the new batsmen very well and we stopped dictating the terms. "It was great for Graham to get his first century but I'm sure even for him it will be a little bit bitter that it is not in a winning cause." Pyke, 19, is a member of Huddersfield's Under-21 team and is yet to make a first team appearance for the Championship club. "He's got pace, he's direct and he's a powerful runner," Wrexham manager Dean Keates said. "He's on the verge of the first team at Huddersfield so it's a case of him coming here to get experience." Play was suspended in the 33rd minute after supporters in the away end at Goodison Park surged towards the pitch and objects were thrown. Everton have been charged with the "throwing of objects". While European football's governing body have charged Croatian club Hajduk with four offences. They are: "throwing of objects", "crowd disturbances", "field invasions by supporters" and "acts of damages". Uefa is yet to confirm the date of the hearing. Everton had opened the scoring moments before the trouble broke out in the Europa League play-off first-leg. The teams waited on the side of the pitch before the police and stewards restored order, and the match resumed after a break of almost five minutes. The Toffees added a second goal through Idrissa Gueye shortly after the restart and they held on to win 2-0. The second leg takes place in Split on Thursday.

Dogger Bank Creyke Beck A and B would be built 77 miles (125km) off the Yorkshire coast. Forwind Ltd said it would consist of 400 wind turbines producing up to 2,400 MW of electricity, enough to power nearly two million homes. Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey said the development had the potential to support hundreds of jobs. Mr Davey said: "Making the most of Britain's home grown energy is creating jobs and businesses in the UK, getting the best deal for consumers and reducing our reliance on foreign imports. "Wind power is vital to this plan, with £14.5bn invested since 2010 into an industry which supports 35,400 jobs." Forewind said it believed the project could generate between 4,000 and 5,000 direct and indirect jobs. The offshore farm would connect into the national grid at an existing substation at Creyke Beck, near Cottingham, East Yorkshire, the developers said. The company has already spent £60m on initial surveys and planning. Construction on the site is expected to start in 2019.

The government has approved plans for what is believed to be one of the world's largest offshore wind projects.

Bargoed RFC's Adam Buttifant, the 12th Welshman currently serving a drugs ban, was suspended for two years on Tuesday. UKAD chief executive Nicole Sapstead said: "We are seeing intelligence indicating that there is a big steroid problem particularly within Wales generally, a societal problem. "Maybe that inevitably starts to encroach on lower levels of any sport." Sapstead, who was appointed to her role in February, 2015, added that rugby union "is just in the frame right now" amid social trends that did originate in sport. A crew from Cwmbran, Torfaen, was attacked with bottles by about 15 youngsters after putting out a bonfire in the Greenmeadow area of the town. Youths also threw stones and shouted abuse at firefighters putting out a grass fire in the Phillipstown area of New Tredegar, Caerphilly, on Saturday. Two people were arrested in Newport after reports fireworks were thrown. Gwent Police said the pair were arrested on suspicion of public order offences after the alleged incident in Corporation Road in the Pill area of the city at around 19:20 GMT. The attacks on firefighers come after a crew was attacked with fireworks in Cardiff on Tuesday. No-one was injured in either of the incidents but South Wales Fire Service confirmed CCTV footage from its appliances would be passed to Gwent Police. The incidents happened within 30 minutes of each other on a night when firefighters in south Wales had 309 calls between 16:00 GMT and midnight with the "majority relating to bonfire/firework activity". The Aberbargoed crew was targeted in the first incident on Saturday at around 21:30 near Fernhill Terrace in Phillipstown. A South Wales Fire Service spokesman added a "group of around 15 male and female youths" then attacked the Cwmbran crew near Barnets, just off Ty Gwyn Way. Meanwhile, Barry firefighters were called to a second-floor fire at a hair salon in Church Road just after 21:30 after a firework accidentally went through an open window. North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said it had between 10 and 15 calls linked to fireworks between 17:00 and 20:00 but confirmed there were no major incidents. I understand those feelings, but I do not share them. Prior to working in the media I was employed in three polling companies and therefore have some sympathy with their plight. The purpose of this piece is not to beat them up even more, but to set out what evidence I have gathered and offer some personal views about some of the explanations that have surfaced in the immediate aftermath of the election. A serious investigation is about to begin, which will have the advantage of viewing the mass of data generated by 92 campaign polls. Like you, I await the findings with anticipation. On the day we awoke to a new majority Conservative government, the British Polling Council, supported by the Market Research Society, issued a statement. It said: "The final opinion polls before the election were clearly not as accurate as we would like." It announced it was "setting up an independent inquiry to look into the possible causes" and "to make recommendations for future polling". It will be chaired by Prof Patrick Sturgis, professor of research methodology and director of the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods. A variety of explanations have been offered to explain the collective failure of the polling industry to provide accurate estimates of the final vote shares of the Conservative and Labour parties. It is worth reminding ourselves of the scale of under-achievement that we experienced over the six-week campaign. I monitored 92 polls over that period and the table below divides them into various percentage leads, ranging from 17 dead heats to three polls where the gap was 6% between Conservative and Labour. None of the 92 polls accurately predicted the 7% lead the Conservatives would actually achieve. Excluding the dead heats, we are left with 75 polls where one party was ahead of the other and, among these, 42 (56%) suggested Labour leads. Among the full tally of 92 campaign polls, 81 registered leads for one party or another of between 0% and 3%. The failure of the eve-of-election polls to reflect the actual result of the 1992 general election "was the most spectacular in the history of British election surveys", according to the July 1994 Market Research Society's investigative report. During the 1992 election some 50 campaign polls had been published, 38 of which suggested small Labour leads - but the outcome was a seven-point Tory win. The report that followed - Opinion Polls and the 1992 General Election - identified three main factors for the failings of the polls. The first was late swing. Some voters changed their minds after the end of interviewing. Secondly, samples may not have been sufficiently accurate in representing the electorate. Finally, Conservatives were less likely to reveal their loyalties than Labour voters. These may strike many of you as rather familiar 23 years later, but we should remember that the pollsters introduced a series of post-1992 reforms that were meant to redress these problems. I will try to pick these up as we take a brief look at some of the explanations offered for the poll performance in 2015. Put crudely, the proposition is that voters said one thing to the pollsters, but in the polling booth a significant number of them changed their minds and voted Conservative. Survation had made much of the late telephone poll it conducted that showed: Conservatives 37%, Labour 31%, Lib Dems 10%, UKIP 11% and Greens 5%. The actual result was Conservatives 38% and Labour 32%. It claimed that this more accurate result was due to it being "conducted over the afternoon and evening of Wednesday 6 May, as close as possible to the election to capture any late swing to any party". However, both MORI and ICM conducted their final polls on Wednesday evening and respectively came up with leads of one point for the Conservatives and one point for Labour. The Ashcroft "on the day" poll, conducted among more than 12,000 respondents who had voted, resulted in: Conservatives 34%, Labour 31%, Lib Dems 9%, UKIP 14% and Green 5%. That was four points out on the Conservatives' share and one point out on Labour's. The YouGov "on the day" poll of more than 6,000 respondents who had voted suggested a dead heat, with: Conservatives 34%, Labour 34%, Lib Dems 10%, UKIP 12% and Green 4%. Finally, the last Populus poll was sampled from 5-7 May, so included some respondents interviewed on polling day itself. It found: Conservatives 33%, Labour 34%, Lib Dems 9%, UKIP 13% and Green 5%. People will draw their own conclusions from all this but it suggests to me that, on the evidence of the polls, whether conducted into Wednesday evening or among actual voters on election day itself, there appears to be little to sustain the proposition of a late swing. If there was indeed such a late swing then the polling industry is left with the considerable headache of having comprehensively failed to pick it up either before or during polling day itself. One of the preoccupations of the 1992 inquiry into the polls was whether significant numbers of Conservative voters, reluctant to admit their allegiance, simply answered "don't know" or just avoided participating in polls. At the end of their deliberations, the authors concluded: "it is possible to weight or reallocate 'don't knows' on the basis of their reported past vote". This is what some pollsters do and it should dampen, though not eliminate, any "shy Tory" effect. But it did not appear to have done so this time. In any event, there is also the small issue of why there should only be shy Tories in 2015. Surely the message of the last two years has been that all three main Westminster parties were very unpopular? Why else did 25% of voters on 7 May not support the Conservatives, Labour or Lib Dems, compared with 12% in 2010? One poll in the campaign asked voters whether they would be confident about admitting their party affiliation in company. Those most "shy" were UKIP supporters, yet the polls were pretty accurate when it came to UKIP's actual share of the vote. I do not mean to dismiss the "shy Tory" argument out of hand, but I find it far less plausible in 2015 than in 1992 and some subsequent general elections. These are the new kids on the block in 2015. There is a theory that the unexpected outcome of the election was due to lazy Labour non-voters - people who declared a Labour voting intention to pollsters during the campaign but did not turn up to express it at polling stations. Pollsters have tried to address the issue of differential turnout between party supporters for some time. Almost invariably, respondents will be asked to choose on a scale from one to 10 how certain they are to vote. Having looked at these polls over very many years, it is commonly the case that Conservatives are somewhat more likely to vote than Labour. Eight of the polling companies that featured in the 2015 election campaign use this 1-10 scale and in the table below I set out the percentage of Conservative and Labour voters who answered 10 out of 10 in their final campaign poll. Opinium and TNS use a different, non-numerical scale and, for these, 90% of Conservatives said they would definitely vote in the Opinium poll, compared with 87% of Labour. The comparable figures on the same wording in the TNS poll were 89% and 80% respectively. This presents us with something of a mixed bag: ComRes, MORI, Opinium and YouGov suggest very little, if any, difference in determination to vote between both sets of party supporters just prior to polling day. Among the other companies, Conservatives seemed marginally more motivated than Labour. So, firstly, the issue of Labour supporters having a lower propensity to vote is not new: the companies have been aware of it for a long time. Secondly, a number of polling companies adjust their voting intention figures precisely to take this into account. In this election, "Lazy Labour" would have had to be a new and very late addition to the tribe to account for the impact suggested. Most opinion polls in non-election years question a standard of just over 1,000 respondents, but would this provide a robust enough sample for the eve-of-election polls, by which the polling companies are traditionally judged? Clearly a number of them thought not, as their final poll samples showed. In addition, the Ashcroft "on the day" poll comprised 12,253 respondents who had voted. YouGov's similar effort involved 6,000 respondents. Sample size does not seem to offer any obvious explanation. Although that is, of course, only part of the story. A poll can consist of 20,000 respondents but, if they are not representative of the general population, they are no more use than a sample of 200. What to conclude? A variety of explanations have emerged from the polling industry to try to answer the challenging question of why so many polls were so wrong in the 2015 campaign. The scale of the problem cannot be understated. Whilst the Conservatives won convincingly, 18% of the campaign polls had suggested a dead heat and a further 46% had suggested Labour leads. Of the 36% of polls that registered Conservative leads, three out of four showed leads that were less than half the actual outcome. Two polls - from Ashcroft and ICM - gave the Conservatives a 6% lead but these were published about two weeks before polling day. Those two companies published final eve of poll figures suggesting a dead heat (Ashcroft) and a one point Labour lead (ICM). I have rehearsed some of the possible explanations and will not burden you by repeating them. It could be the case that the answer lies in combinations of all of them - no single one of them a decisive influence but all of them were contributory factors. I think the evidence does not provide any easy solutions and Prof Sturgis's enquiry will have its work cut out to provide answers that will satisfy a very sceptical audience. But lest we forget, the British polling industry has provided very accurate election vote share forecasts in the past, recently as well as historically. I would take a lot of convincing that everything has suddenly and irretrievably gone pear-shaped. That the pollsters face challenges is undeniable, not least among them the problem of finding truly representative samples of the population. But any thoughts of their demise as important players in helping us understand public opinion seem, to me at least, rather premature. 1 October 2016 Last updated at 14:10 BST A small crowd of protesters accused him of taking sides with Sinn Féin and the Orange Order against a majority of local residents. Fr Donegan has ministered in the Ardoyne area for the last 15 years. He is due to take up new duties next week at the Tobar Mhuire retreat centre in Crossgar. Kenneth Williams was the fourth inmate put to death by the state of Arkansas in the past eight days after a dozen years without a single execution. His attorneys said witness descriptions of the lethal injection procedure were "horrifying". The United Nations on Friday condemned Arkansas' execution schedule. "I see no reason for any investigation other than the routine review that is done after every execution," Governor Asa Hutchinson responded during a Friday press conference. The state had initially planned to put to death eight men in a span of 11 days, but courts issued reprieves in half those cases. The compressed schedule was because the state's stock of one lethal injection drug, the sedative midazolam, was due to expire at the end of this month, said officials. Journalists who saw Thursday night's execution said Williams' body jerked about 15 times in quick succession three minutes after he received the first of three injections. His chest was said to press against the leather straps binding him to the gurney. The Americans volunteering to watch executions During a consciousness check, Williams groaned before falling still after seven minutes. He was pronounced dead - 13 minutes after the procedure began - at 23:05 (04:05 GMT Friday). His final words were: "I humbly extend my apologies to those families I have senselessly wronged." Governor Hutchinson's spokesman dismissed the prisoner's movements as "an involuntary muscular reaction", to be expected with midazolam. But Shawn Nolan, a lawyer for Williams, said it had been "a problematic execution" and accused the governor's spokesman of "trying to whitewash the reality of what happened". "Press reports state that within three minutes into the execution, our client began coughing, convulsing, jerking and lurching with sound that was audible even with the microphone turned off," he added. He said the legal team had earlier pleaded with the state to "avoid torturing our client to death". But Republican state senator Trent Garner, who witnessed the execution, tweeted that Williams did not "seem in pain". "It was not cruel, unusual, botched or torture," he added. The United Nations' human rights office said it was "deeply troubled" that Arkansas had executed four men in eight days after a 12-year moratorium on the death penalty. Spokeswoman Liz Throssell told reporters in Geneva that "rushing executions" can violate prisoners' rights by denying them the opportunity to seek clemency. "Our concern is really the fact that these executions were scheduled because of the expiration date of the drug, and you are absolutely right that adds to the arbitrariness and cruelty of the whole process," said Ms Throssell, in response to a reporter's question. The European Union also condemned the execution as "an unacceptable denial of human rights". Williams was initially spared the death penalty when he was sentenced to life in prison for the 1998 murder of 19-year-old cheerleader Dominique Hurd. After a month in the penitentiary, he escaped in October 1999 by hiding in a barrel used to carry kitchen refuse. Not far from the prison, he encountered Cecil Boren, 57, on his farm. He killed Mr Boren, shooting him multiple times, and stole his Ford F-150 pick-up truck. Williams drove north to Missouri, where he led police on a chase that caused the high-speed death of 24-year-old delivery driver Michael Greenwood. After being jailed, Williams became an ordained Protestant minister, and wrote his autobiography as well as a book warning against gang life. South West Water (SWW) said it was working to fix the Gannel sewage station in Newquay after it became aware of a problem at 23:30 GMT on Thursday. Sewage is affecting the sea at beaches around Towan Head as well as Crantock and Fistral, said SWW. The company tweeted: "Sorry if this affects your NYD plans." Operations manager Mike Galligan said: "We are sorry if this affects anyone's plans for a New Year's Day dip or surf. "We are working night and day to fix the issue as quickly as possible." The bloc threatened legal action over the law that could close the Central European University (CEU) in Budapest, founded by billionaire George Soros. Mr Orban has condemned Mr Soros as an "American financial speculator". The European Peoples Party [EPP] group, which includes Mr Orban's Fidesz party, summoned him to a meeting on the issue. "Prime Minister Orban committed himself in the EPP council to follow and implement all the demands of the European Commission within the deadline set by the commission," said Siegfried Muresan, a spokesman for EPP President Joseph Daul. Mr Orban, who has angered many in the EU with his hardline stance on asylum seekers, has not yet commented and a spokeswoman declined to say what he had told the meeting. The EPP has threatened Fidesz with possible expulsion over the issue. In a statement, Mr Daul said "a clear message" had been sent to Mr Orban and the Fidesz party "that we will not accept that any basic freedoms are restricted or that the rule of law is disregarded". "The EPP demanded from Fidesz and from the Hungarian authorities that they take all necessary steps to comply with the commission's request. Prime Minister Orban has reassured the EPP that Hungary will act accordingly," he added. The Hungarian government's Higher Education Act would mean the CEU in Budapest would be unable to award diplomas because it is registered in the US. But the European Commission ruled that the law was not compatible with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Last Wednesday it gave the government one month to adapt the law or face being taken to court. The law has also led to some of the biggest protests in Hungary since Mr Orban came to power. Thousands have attended demonstrations since the legislation was pushed through parliament earlier this month. The CEU is considered a beacon of liberal values and is ranked among the top 200 universities in the world in eight disciplines. Hungary passes bill targeting Central European University Hungarian attack on George Soros prompts NGO anger The university built to defend democracy "They want us to make war," the centre-right Aksam newspaper declared on its front page. An article in the prominent pro-secular daily Milliyet said that war should be considered as "one of the last cards". Meanwhile centre-right daily Star suggested that if the Turkish parliament allowed cross-border military operations, this would be enough to prevent any further military provocations. "To be honest Turkey did not have any other option but to respond to the Syrian artillery fire that killed five of our citizens. Any other government would have given a similar response," argued journalist Asli Aydintasbas in Milliyet. "What keeps countries alive in this region is not their per capita income, but their military deterrence and power." "The war of nerves has turned into a war of borders", wrote Eyup Can in the centre-left Radikal. He said it was important for the country to defend its citizens, but added that Ankara should also avoid "falling into the war trap". Ismail Kucukkaya, writing in centrist Aksam, was adamant: "Let us scream from the very beginning: No war!" "Are we right to make a war and do we have enough legitimate reasons? Does the nation want that? Will our economy bear this?" he asked, while also warning that a military action against Syria was fraught with "incalculable dangers". "We've reached a critical point. We're not only up against Syria, but also Iran, Iraq, Russia and China which support Damascus. Behind us, there is nothing but the provocative attitudes and empty promises of the United States", said Melih Asik in Milliyet. The author was also worried that Turkey already had enough internal troubles of its own and did not need an armed conflict with a neighbour. "What we have is an army whose generals are arrested... and a terror problem we are struggling to deal with," Asik recalled. He suggested that "that while Assad is still in control, pushing Turkey to a war should be considered as one of the last cards on the agenda". "The most important step to deter Syria will be taken in the Turkish parliament," thought Mustafa Kartoglu in Star newspaper. He explained that if MPs voted to allow the Turkish army to cross the border into Syria if the country was faced with another military provocation, "this motion will be much more influential in deterring Assad".

But which grounds are finished? Where are they? And what can fans expect? (All times are British Summer Time) Capacity: 65,807 (20,000 of which are temporary seats). Opening: A new build for the tournament, the new home of Corinthians is due to be completed in time for the opening game which it will host. It has staged two test matches, but was not at full capacity for either. Altitude: 792m (2,598ft). Climate: Highs of around 20C and lows of 13C with a 30% chance of rain. Time Zone: GMT -3 hours. Approximate distance from Rio: 269 miles. Where is it?: On a plateau in the south-east, on the Atlantic coast. Fixtures: 12 June, Brazil v Croatia, 21:00; 19 June, Uruguay v England, 20:00; 23 June, Netherlands v Chile, 17:00; 26 June, South Korea v Belgium, 21:00; 1 July, Second-round, Winner Group F v Runner-up Group E, 17:00; 9 July, Semi-final, Winner Quarter-final 3 v Winner Quarter-final 4, 21:00. Background: Corinthians, who currently play at the Estadio do Pacaembu, were granted permission to build a new stadium as long ago as 1978 but only announced construction of their new home in 2010. The Estadio do Morumbi, home of Sao Paulo FC, was originally chosen to represent the city of Sao Paulo in the World Cup but when funding fell through to renovate it, the opening game was moved to the new Arena in 2011. After the tournament 20,000 temporary seats will be removed. Construction has been blighted by the deaths of three workers. Two were killed when a crane collapsed in November 2013, and another died in March 2014 after falling from a stand. Capacity: 57,400. Opened: 1965 (reopened after renovation in February 2013). Altitude: 800m (2,624ft). Climate: Dry and warm. June and July tend to be the coolest months of the year, but temperatures still peak at 25C most days. Time Zone: GMT -3 hours. Approximate distance from Rio: 278 miles. Where is it?: Surrounded by mountains inland from Rio and Sao Paulo.

Background: It took three years and 695 million Brazilian reais (£185m) to give the historic Estadio Mineirao a comprehensive facelift. The stadium is a listed national monument, so the facade and roof had to be preserved, but the pitch was lowered by 3.4m to allow the removal of a running track and construction of new seating nearer to the pitch. Although it was the second World Cup venue to be completed, in February 2013, teething problems resulted in the stadium's operators being fined. However, Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke described the stadium as "beautiful" prior to the Confederations Cup, when it hosted three games . It will also host football at the 2016 Olympics. Capacity: 58,000 Opened: 1973 (reopened in January 2013). Altitude: Sea level. Climate: Daily temperatures peak at around 30C throughout the year, although the city sometimes benefits from a sea breeze. Occasional rain showers are not uncommon in June. Time Zone: GMT -3 hours. Approximate distance from Rio: 1,617 miles. Where is it?: A 'fortress' port on the north-east coast of Brazil, it has 16 miles of beaches.

Background: The renovation of the Estadio Castelao was completed on time and within budget, making the stadium the first World Cup venue to be declared ready. Work began in March 2011, and cost 518m reais (approximately £167m). The city of Fortaleza sits on Brazil's north-east coast, and is a popular tourist destination because of its beaches. The new Castelao aims to minimise the impact of the heat on players and spectators. Capacity: 76,804. Opened: 1950 (reopened after renovation in June 2013). Fixtures: 15 June, Argentina v Bosnia-Hercegovina, 23:00; 18 June, Spain v Chile, 20:00; 22 June, Belgium v Russia, 17:00; 25 June, Equador v France, 21:00; 28 June, Second-round, Winner Group C v Runner-up Group D, 21:00; 4 July, Quarter-final, Winner Second-round 5 v Winner Second-round 6, 17:00; 13 July, World Cup final, 20:00. Altitude: Sea level. Climate: June and July are Rio's coolest months, but the daily temperature peak is typically 25C. Those months tend to be dry, but humidity remains fairly high all year. Time Zone: GMT -3 hours. Where is it?: On the Atlantic coast, close to the Tropic of Capricorn. Background: Renovation of this iconic venue was completed just in time for the Confederations Cup last summer. Work only began in earnest in September 2010 - three years after Brazil was officially handed the World Cup. The stadium formally reopened on 2 June when Brazil drew 2-2 in a friendly with England, and hosted three Confederations Cup matches. Since then venue has resumed its role as the venue for derby matches between Rio's biggest teams - Flamengo, Fluminense, Botafago and Vasco da Gama. The pitch was re-laid in October 2013. It is one of four football venues for the 2016 Olympics and will also host the opening and closing ceremonies. Capacity: 68,009. Opened: 1974 (reopened after renovation in May 2013). Fixtures: 15 June, Switzerland v Ecuador, 17:00; 19 June, Colombia v Ivory Coast, 17:00; 23 June, Cameroon v Brazil, 21:00; 26 June, Portugal v Ghana, 17:00; 30 June, Second-round, Winner Group E v Runner-up Group F, 17:00; 5 July, Quarter-final, Winner Second-round 7 v Winner Second-round 8, 17:00; 12 July, Third-place match, 21:00. Altitude: 1,172m (3,845ft). Climate: Dry and fairly warm. June and July are the two driest months of the year in Brasilia. Temperatures tend to peak at 25C most days, while humidity drops. Time Zone: GMT -3 hours. Approximate distance from Rio: 724 miles. Where is it?: The capital of Brazil sits in the central highlands. Background: Construction was problematic and the original budget almost tripled - government auditors said in May the cost will be over two billion reais (£535m). That makes it the most expensive of Brazil's World Cup venues, and reportedly the second costliest football venue ever built. It will host seven games - the joint most along with the Maracana - but there are fears that afterwards it could become a "white elephant as the city's clubs all play in the lower leagues and attract very small crowds. Work began in August 2010 but was interrupted in June 2012 when a worker fell to his death on site Capacity: 42,800 Opened: May 2013.

Altitude: Sea level. Climate: Wet. It rains in Recife on average 224 days a year - which is nearly double Manchester's average. Temperatures tend to peak at 28C in June and July, which are Recife's two wettest months. Humidity is also usually high during these months. Time Zone: GMT -3 hours. Approximate distance from Rio: 1,426 miles. Where is it?: On the Atlantic coast on the east of Brazil, close to the equator and among tropical forests. Background: This brand new stadium was built in an economically deprived area on the outskirts of Recife, and will eventually form part of a leisure complex and residential development which it is hoped will act as a catalyst for local regeneration. Construction progress was slower than Fifa would have liked, but the stadium was eventually declared operationally ready on 20 May 2013, with a friendly between Nautico and Sporting Lisbon serving as a test event two days later.

Where is it?: The largest city on the north-east coast. Background: The Arena Fonte Nova rose from the rubble of its predecessor, with 92% of the debris from demolition used to construct the brand new venue. The stadium, which took 32 months to construct, was the third World Cup venue to be completed and cost 592m reais (£160m). Its most distinctive element is its unusual horse-shoe design. There is a large opening in the stands behind the southern goal, behind which lies an open paved area. This space is called the Praca Sul (Southern Square) and can easily be converted into an amphitheatre to host concerts and shows. The design also boosts air circulation within the stadium. Capacity: 42,968. Opened: April 2014. Altitude: 165m (541ft). Climate: Hot. The temperatures in Cuiaba are consistently high in June and July, rising to daily highs of just over 30C, while it can reach a sweltering 37C. Thunderstorms are a possibility, with humidity expected to be in the 60-70% range. Time Zone: GMT -4 hours. Approximate distance from Rio: 1,201 miles. Where is it?: Right in the centre of South America, close to the Bolivian border. Fixtures: 13 June, Chile v Australia, 23:00; 17 June, Russia v South Korea, 23:00; 21 June, Nigeria v Bosnia-Hercegovina, 23:00; 24 June, Japan v Colombia, 21:00. Background: The stadium was purpose built for the World Cup, and is likely to have its capacity reduced by 10,000 after the tournament. It is one of the smallest World Cup venues, and there are question marks over its long-term value after the tournament. The city's two teams, Cuiaba and Mixto, play in the third and fourth tiers of Brazilian football respectively, usually in front of sparse crowds Construction hit a number of snags, including a fire in October 2013, meaning the stadium did not host its first test event until April. In May a worker died after being electrocuted during the installation of a communications network. Capacity: 41,456. Opened: April 2014. Altitude: 920m (3,018 ft). Climate: The playing conditions in Curitiba are relatively cool and comfortable with the temperature usually peaking around 20C and a good chance of some rain. Time Zone: GMT -3 hours. Approximate distance from Rio: 523 miles. Where is it?: South of Sao Paulo, one of the cooler cities in Brazil which saw snow fall this year. Fixtures: 16 June, Iran v Nigeria, 20:00; 20 June, Honduras v Ecuador, 23:00; 23 June, Australia v Spain, 17:00; 26 June, Algeria v Russia, 21:00. Background: The stadium was the penultimate to be opened, and construction delays proved a major headache for Fifa. Frustrated by the lack of progress, football's governing body threatened to move Curitiba's games elsewhere, only confirming its inclusion in February this year. The stadium was originally built in 1914 so could be said to be the "oldest" venue at the World Cup. Yet it in 1999 it was rebuilt from scratch, meaning that before World Cup renovations began it was already regarded as one of the most modern stadiums in Brazil. Capacity: 42,374 Opened: March 2014. Media playback is not supported on this device Altitude: 72m (236ft) Climate: Difficult. Tropical heat with tropical storms. Highs are a toasty 30C with a 40% chance of thunderstorms in June, with humidity up to 80%. Expect to see plenty of drinks breaks. Time Zone: GMT -4 hours. Approximate distance from Rio: 2,659 miles. Where is it?: The capital of the state of Amazonas, Manaus is the furthest north of the host cities. Fixtures: 14 June, England v Italy, 23:00; 18 June, Cameroon v Croatia, 23:00; 22 June, United States v Portugal, 23:00; 25 June, Honduras v Switzerland, 21:00. Background: The arena has an elaborate steel structure, imported from Portugal, which envelops the playing area like an indigenous woven basket. Over 95% of the material from the old, demolished, stadium will be reused. This was arguably the most complicated construction project undertaken for the World Cup, in part due to the climate but also because of the location. An urban island in the heart of the rainforest, Manaus is very hard to reach by vehicle, so most materials arrived by plane or ship. Construction was overshadowed by the deaths of three workers in accidents. Two were killed in separate falls in March and November 2013, while another died in February 2014 following an accident involving the dismantling of a crane. A fourth worker died of a heart attack on site last year. Capacity: 42,086. Opening: January 2014. Altitude: 45m (148ft). Climate: Humidity could be a problem for players in Natal, with an average of 97% humidity in the middle of June. That drops down as the tournament progresses however. Time Zone: GMT -3 hours. Approximate distance from Rio: 1,612 miles. Where is it?: Between Fortaleza and Recife on the north-east coastline, Natal is the state capital nearest to both Africa and Europe. Fixtures: 13 June, Mexico v Cameroon, 17:00; 16 June, Ghana v United States, 23:00; 19 June, Japan v Greece, 23:00; 24 June, Italy v Uruguay, 17:00; Background: The original Machadao stadium was demolished in 2011 to make way for the new build, with work beginning on the Estadio Das Dunas a year later. Designed to replicate sand dunes, the stadium's first match was a derby between ABC and America in January 2014. Capacity: 48,849. Opened: 1969, but reopened in February 2014. Altitude: 47m (154ft). Climate: It can get down to a chilly 10C at Porte Alegre in June and July with highs only around 19C. Time Zone: GMT -3 hours. Approximate distance from Rio: 982 miles. Where is it?: The furthest south of the host cities, Porto Alegre sits on a huge freshwater lagoon called Lagoa dos Patos (Lagoon of the Ducks), which is 174 miles long. Fixtures: 15 June, France v Honduras, 20:00; 18 June, Australia v Netherlands, 17:00; 22 June, South Korea v Algeria, 20:00; 25 June, Nigeria v Argentina, 17:00; 30 June, Second-round, Winner Group G v Runner-up Group H, 21:00. Background: Originally built in 1969, and known as the Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borda, the stadium has been extensively revamped for the World Cup, with stands moved closer to the pitch and covered by a roof to shield fans from the elements. Although the stadium opened in February, temporary facilities - such as media facilities and hospitality areas - had not been finished. They will only be completed at the last minute following wrangling over whether the cost should be covered by the public purse or the stadium's owners, top-flight side Internacional. Wa-ays Dhaye, 18, died from multiple stab wounds after being attacked in Thurston Street on 31 August. Khianni Gordon has been convicted of murder and his accomplices Kaneel Huggins and Antwon Clarke were each found guilty of manslaughter. The men, who are aged 18 and come from High Wycombe, will be sentenced at Reading Crown Court on Wednesday. Gordon was also convicted of perverting the course of justice. Mr Dhaye, who was born in Holland, was attacked while walking home in Slough, where he had lived for 10 years, after spending the day at the Notting Hill Carnival. He was found by members of the public who called the emergency services. He died on 1 September at Wexham Park Hospital. The cause of death was found to be multiple stab wounds including one wound which penetrated his abdomen and severed his aorta. Det Ch Insp Kevin Brown from Thames Valley Police said the group travelled from Notting Hill to Slough as a result of a minimal altercation at the carnival. He added: "They then hunted Wa-ays down, away from his friends, before stalking him through the streets of Slough and brutally attacking him close to his home, inflicting fatal injuries." In a statement, Mr Dhaye's family described him as "the light of our lives". "We are all heartbroken and devastated by his killing, which happened around the corner from our home. The pain is unimaginable," they said. "He had great aspirations and had been accepted to study computer science at Hertfordshire University, which he was due to begin in September 2015. "We were so proud of him - the child of a refugee - pursuing higher education, an opportunity his parents never had." Police Scotland confirmed that 24-year-old Daniel Hussain, who absconded from the prison near Dundee on 13 July, had been apprehended. Kieran Kiely, 23, who went missing from the open prison at the same time, was traced on Monday. Police had warned the public not to approach either men during their initial appeal for information. However, after Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Notts County in League Two, Stanley manager John Coleman compared some of their play to that of Spanish giants Real Madrid - with a bit of Sunday league thrown in too. "We played like Real Madrid for 25 minutes and then Reality Madrid in the seventh division of the Hackney Marshes League," Coleman told BBC Radio Lancashire. "As a manager sometimes you just can't put your finger on it." Billy Kee's early goal and a brace from Rommy Boco helped Accrington into a 3-0 lead before strikes from Ronan Murray and Adam Campbell ensured a nervy finish at the Wham Stadium. Victory moved Accrington up to fourth in League Two, three points off the automatic promotion places, though Coleman's side have two games in hand on the teams above them. Since their reformation in 1968, Stanley have never reached the third tier of English football. "It's not mixed emotions, I'm absolutely furious," added the 53-year-old former Rochdale boss. "I'm furious because that we let each other sink miles below our standards. "From an absolutely terrific first 25 minutes where we were irresistible, we stopped playing and they smelt it. "On another day they would've got a draw or maybe a win - we weren't clinical enough and we didn't put enough effort in." MPs will debate later this month whether the US presidential hopeful should be refused entry. It follows the billionaire property tycoon calling for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US. More than half a million people backed a petition calling on the tycoon to be barred for his comments, triggering a debate in the Commons. However, there will be no vote at the end of the debate and it will be up to Home Secretary Theresa May to decide whether or not Mr Trump should be excluded from the UK. Mr Trump owns the Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire as well as Trump International Golf Links near Aberdeen. In a statement, his Trump Organisation said it had planned to invest more than £200m at Turnberry and a further £500m at the Aberdeenshire course. But it warned that any action to restrict travel would force it to "immediately end these and all future investments we are currently contemplating in the United Kingdom". It added: "Westminster would create a dangerous precedent and send a terrible message to the world that the United Kingdom opposes free speech and has no interest in attracting inward investment. "This would also alienate the many millions of United States citizens who wholeheartedly support Mr Trump and have made him the forerunner by far in the 2016 presidential election. "Many people now agree with Mr Trump that there is a serious problem that must be resolved. This can only be achieved if we are willing discuss these tough issues openly and honestly." Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon last month joined the calls for Mr Trump to be considered for exclusion from the UK. Prime Minister David Cameron has previously labelled Mr Trump's comments "stupid" but said he did not support a ban, telling MPs the tycoon would "unite us all against him" if he visited the UK. The Campaign for Better Hospital Food said NHS Trusts routinely rated their own food highly. But patient surveys showed nearly half of people were dissatisfied with what they were offered to eat. The campaigners want mandatory standards introduced for hospital food, like those which already exist for prisons and schools. In the past, NHS staff in England have carried out annual assessments of the quality of hospital food. In 2011 they rated nearly 98% of meals as "good" or "excellent". The inspection system is now changing, but the Campaign for Better Hospital Food points to a survey of more than 64,000 patients carried out by the regulator, the Care Quality Commission, earlier this year. In that survey just 55% of patients said the food they had been served was "good". Alex Jackson, co-ordinator of the Campaign for Better Hospital Food, said existing policies that regulate food served in prisons and schools should be extended to hospitals. "It is time for the government to come clean about the sorry state of hospital food in England and set mandatory standards for patient meals. "This would only involve extending an existing policy which has seen it set mandatory standards for prison food and food served in government departments, to go alongside those that already exist for school food. "Surely patients recovering in hospital have the same right to good food as government ministers, school kids and prisoners?" Campaigners point to hospitals such as Darlington Memorial, where the award-winning food is locally sourced and cooked on site. Through buying in bulk and cutting down on waste, the hospital manages to stick to a very tight budget of around £2.60 per patient per day. Patient Concern called the findings "shocking". It called for protected cash for hospitals to be spent on better meals. Roger Goss, co-director of Patient Concern, said: "If managements are deliberately misleading us on hospital food, on what else are we being misled? Patient safety? Quality of care?" In a statement, a spokesman for the Department of Health in England said there were many examples of good food across the NHS. "But we recognise that there is too much variation across the country - that is why we have implemented a tough new inspection programme. "We support the principle of food standards but do not think that legislation is the right way to proceed. "We believe that the best decisions on hospital food are those taken locally by chefs and catering managers." Fire crews were called to Balhousie Clement Park Care Home, in Clement Park Place, at about 01:20 where they found a small fire in a first floor bedroom. The injured man was treated at the scene and then taken to hospital. An investigation into the cause of the blaze is under way, however it is not being treated as suspicious. A spokeswoman for Balhousie Care Group said sadly one of its residents had been injured and the group's thoughts were with the resident and his family. She added: "The priority was, of course, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of residents and staff. "A small number of residents were moved from their rooms to a place of safety inside the building, before being allowed to return to their bedrooms. No residents were evacuated outside. "There were 48 residents in the building at the time, along with six staff members. Relatives are being contacted directly to update them on the situation." Former Orient trainee Finney, 21, joined QPR as a free agent in November, but has yet to make a first-team appearance for the Championship club. He made his professional debut while at Bolton in September 2015 in a 4-1 Championship defeat by Huddersfield. Maidstone start the new National League season when they host Maidenhead on 5 August. The 29-year-old centre-back was forced off in the early stages of Saturday's 0-0 draw at Bradford. Former Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Leeds man Pearce has featured 18 times for the Addicks after joining from Wigan in the summer. "The time span is 12 to 15 weeks, which is a big disappointment for us." boss Karl Robinson told BBC Radio Kent. "It's difficult one for him and me as a manager." It said suicide was a "major public health problem" that was too often shrouded in taboo. The WHO wants to reduce the rate of suicide by 10% by 2020, but warned that just 28 countries have a national suicide prevention strategy. Campaigners said there needed to be more education in schools. The WHO analysed 10 years of research and data on suicide from around the world. It concluded: It said limiting access to firearms and toxic chemicals was shown to reduce rates of suicide. And that introducing a national strategy for reducing suicides was effective, yet had been developed in only a minority of countries. Dr Margaret Chan, the director general of the World Health Organization, said: "This report is a call for action to address a large public health problem, which has been shrouded in taboo for far too long." Social stigma attached to mental health disorders is known to stop people seeking help and can ultimately lead to suicide. The WHO also attacked the reporting of suicide in the media, such as the details revealed about the death of Hollywood actor Robin Williams. There was also a call for countries to provide more support for people who had previously made a suicide attempt as they were the most at-risk group. Dr Alexandra Fleischmann, a scientist in the department of mental health and substance abuse at WHO, said: "No matter where a country currently stands in suicide prevention, effective measures can be taken, even just starting at local level and on a small-scale." Jonny Benjamin, a suicide campaigner in the UK, told the BBC: "I think there needs to be much more public awareness around suicide and how to approach people that may be experiencing suicidal thoughts and feelings, too few of us know how to react when they see someone who may be at risk of taking their life or experiencing those thoughts and feelings. "I think there needs to be much more public awareness, much more education in schools as well because, as statistics today have shown young people are especially at risk of taking their own lives." The last British governor of Hong Kong suggested the UK was reluctant to raise difficult issues with Beijing because of fears of losing trade opportunities. Ministers should speak out publicly rather than talk "behind their hands". MPs on the Foreign Affairs Committee also revealed that Beijing had urged them not to "meddle in their affairs". Tens of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators took to the streets this summer in protest at the pace of democratic reform in Hong Kong. Among their grievances is the system being used to elect Hong Kong's chief executive in 2017, amid fears that only candidates approved by Beijing will be able to get on to the ballot. Universal suffrage by 2017 formed part of an agreement with China over the future of the former colony when it assumed sovereignty from the UK in 1997. Lord Patten, Governor of Hong Kong between 1992 and 1997, said he admired the protesters' courage in taking a stand, calling them a "generation that feels they are having their future stolen". And he questioned what he suggested was a low-key response from the UK government to recent events. He said the terms of the 1984 Joint Declaration between the two countries, agreeing the transfer of sovereignty to China and setting out a "one country, two systems" principle of governance explicitly gave the UK a "legitimate" interest in Hong Kong's future. He told the Foreign Affairs Committee, which is examining UK relations with Hong Kong, that No 10 and the Foreign Office should not be leaving a "debate about what is a really important issue touching on British sovereignty and British honour" to MPs to discuss. "When China asserts that what is happening in Hong Kong is nothing to do with us, we should make it absolutely clear both publicly and privately that it is not the case," he said. Lord Patten said the UK could have been more "helpful" in raising issues about the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary in July before the protests began to escalate. "Maybe [ministers] were saying that behind their hands and behind closed doors," he added. "I am not one of those people who ever think it is as helpful to say those kind of things privately. "We could have said things...which were not provocative but gave people in Hong Kong something to hold on to. "I really think there is a lot more elbow room in all this than we think. It is going to be more difficult for the demonstrators to step back, to get out of their corner, because of a feeling that nobody on the outside is giving them the support they feel they deserve. "In some ways we may have made it more difficult to resolve than the reverse." Lord Patten, who was dubbed "Fat Pang" by the Chinese media when he was governor, said progress towards full and free elections was "going backwards rather than forwards" and there was a lot that could be done without threatening Hong Kong's constitutional status within China. The UK's own record on democracy when it controlled Hong Kong was "not a good one", he told MPs, while he questioned the approach of successive government to Sino-British relations. Asked by Labour MP Ann Clwyd whether the UK had "raised expectations" over the years about the political freedoms that Hong Kong could ultimately aspire to, the Tory peer said this could not be case as the UK had "hardly said anything" in recent times. "We have kept shtoom as much as we could in the bizarre anticipation that that would be the best way of developing our relationship with China." Politicians, he argued, were mistaken if they thought raising difficult issues with China - such as human rights and relations with Tibet - would affect trade, saying the Chinese were "more sophisticated" in their approach to international affairs than given credit for. "Why does Germany export more to China than we do?" he added. "It is because Germany has more things that China wants to buy. It is not because [Chancellor] Angela Merkel is nicer to Chinese leaders". High-level ministerial relations between the UK and China were effectively frozen for more than a year after Prime Minister David Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg met the Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama in 2012. But Mr Cameron welcomed new Chinese leader Xi Jinping to the UK earlier this year, and Chinese businesses have said they intend to invest billions in new nuclear and transport projects in the UK. The Anti-UAV Defense System (Auds) works by covertly jamming a drone's signal, making it unresponsive. After this disruption, the operator is likely to retrieve the drone believing that it has malfunctioned. The system joins a host of recently announced technologies which can blast larger drones out of the sky. A drone flying in sensitive airspace can be detected by the Auds radar and then sighted via a camera equipped with thermal imaging capabilities so that it can be targeted visually. Then, a high-powered radio signal can be focused on the drone - essentially overriding the connection to whoever is operating it. The whole process takes as little as 25 seconds, according to the manufacturers. "It's a radio signal. There are a number of frequency bands that are used by all of the manufacturers," explained Paul Taylor of Enterprise Control Systems, which developed the product along with Blighter Surveillance Systems and Chess Dynamics. "We transmit into those frequencies in the direction of the UAV using a directional antenna," he told the BBC. "There's quite a lot of radio power on to the UAV - so much so that it can only hear our Auds signal." The Auds operator can then choose to freeze the drone just for a short time - to convince its owner that there's something wrong with it - or for a longer period, until its battery dies and it crashes. Auds has been tested in the UK, the USA and France, said Mr Taylor, and government organisations in all three countries had been involved in those tests. Aviation authorities are increasingly concerned about nuisance hobbyists flying drones close to large aircraft at airports. The US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) is now receiving around 100 reports per month from pilots who have sighted drones within a five-mile radius of their aircraft. Last year the sightings numbered only a few per month. In response, the FAA recently signed an agreement to test new technology which detects drones and identifies the location of their operator. A spokesman for UK's Civil Aviation Authority, however, told the BBC that the organisation was not likely to consider investigating similar technologies any time soon. "It's not something that we really feel the need to be doing," he said. "Our focus is on educating consumers. "We've had our rules in place for over six years now. "The FAA are a little late to the party in many ways - they developed their regulations only recently." Beyond simply halting a small quadcopter drone while in flight, there are also military grade weapons now available to blast larger UAVs out of the sky. The US Army recently demonstrated a prototype weapon which fires special projectiles at UAVs to damage them. These projectiles can be steered on approach to the drone, which is tracked on the ground with radar. Once close enough, warheads on the projectiles can be detonated, theoretically destroying the target vehicle. Alternatively, militaries around the world could also soon be swatting UAVs out of the air with lasers thanks to Boeing's Compact Laser Weapons System. A recent video published on the company's YouTube profile shows the weapon in action as it burns through the tail of an airborne drone. Although the technology might sound futuristic, earlier prototypes of so-called "beam weapons" were being tested as long ago as 1974. It's taken decades of development for them to be considered viable weapon systems for the military today. Leaked video from the Winnipeg, Canada, production of A Dog's Purpose shows a German Shepherd struggling to stay out of a pool of churning water. The footage was posted on the TMZ website. The director and an actor said they are "disturbed" by the video. But the film's producer and distributor deny the dog was mishandled and say it is "happy and healthy". A Dog's Purpose, starring Dennis Quaid, is billed as "a celebration of the special connection between humans and their dogs". But the minute-long 2015 video from the Winnipeg movie set posted online appears to show a dog in distress. In the video, a man can be overheard saying: "Don't worry, it's warm water at least. He ain't going to calm down until he goes in the water. Just got to throw him in." The dog, a German Shepherd called Hercules, appears terrified and is seen struggling and clawing the side of the pool as his handler pushes him into the water. Animal rights groups have expressed outrage. One organisation, Animal Justice, is alleging violations of federal and provincial laws. It has filed cruelty complaints with the Winnipeg Humane Society, the Chief Veterinary Office of Manitoba and the Winnipeg Police. The Winnipeg Humane Society says it was consulted for two scenes in the film. "This dog was fearful and not properly trained for this experience," the organisation's chief executive said in a statement. "Training for a scene like this should take place weeks - if not months - in advance to help a dog get comfortable with not only being in water of that depth, but also the turbulence." American Humane, the organisation that oversees animal safety during filming, said it was investigating the incident and had suspended its representative who was on the set. The film's producer, Amblin Entertainment, and distributor, Universal Pictures, said Hercules was properly treated on set. In a joint statement released late on Wednesday, they say that "great care and concern" was shown for the German Shepherd and other dogs featured in the film. They also suggested that the TMZ footage was edited, saying there was several days of rehearsals for the water scenes to ensure the dog was comfortable with the shoot. "On the day of the shoot, Hercules did not want to perform the stunt portrayed on the tape so the Amblin production team did not proceed with filming that shot," the statement said. The film's director Lasse Hallstrom, who is known for What's Eating Gilbert Grape and Chocolat, expressed concern over the footage on Twitter. "I am very disturbed by the video released today from the set of my film A Dog's Purpose," he said, denying TMZ's report that he had witnessed the incident. "I have been promised that a thorough investigation into this situation is underway and that any wrongdoing will be reported and punished." Actor Josh Gad, who voices the dog in the film, said he was "shaken and sad" after seeing the video. But Canadians flying to the UAE with its Emirates and Etihad airlines will be able to get their visas for much less than other Canadian travellers. Up till now Canadians have not needed a visa to visit the UAE. The visa requirement was announced after Canada refused to grant extra landing rights to the UAE airlines. The website of the UAE embassy in the Canadian capital, Ottawa, now says that from 2 January a six-month, multiple-entry visa will cost $1,000, a three-month visa will be charged at $500, while a 30-day visa will cost $250. The site says Emirates and Etihad can also issue visas to Canadians. Emirates said it would charge $72.50 for a 30-day visa along with a $272.50 deposit, refundable on leaving the UAE. It said it could not offer three and six-month visas. Etihad charges a similar amount as Emirates for a 30-day visa. No one was available for comment at the UAE's foreign ministry or at its Canadian embassy, nor at Emirates or Etihad's offices in Canada or the UAE. A spokeswoman for Canada's foreign ministry, Melissa Lantsman, said it was not told in advance of the new charges, but that they would not make the government change its decision on landing rights for UAE airlines. "Canada is a sovereign nation, and we make our decisions based on what is in the best interests of Canadians," she told the Associated Press news agency. The AFP news agency quoted the ministry as saying UAE nationals visiting Canada are required to obtain a visa, which costs between $75 and $150. The Canadian government feared that Canada's own airlines would suffer if Emirates and Etihad were able to offer more than their current total of six flights a week to and from Canada. Its refusal of greater rights led to Canada being told to leave a key military base in Dubai, which it uses as a staging post for Canada's military mission in southern Afghanistan. The BBC's Lee Carter in Toronto says the new visa rules will most affect the 25,000 Canadians living in the UAE. He says some members of Canada's government expressed serious concerns about the potential damage of the refusal on relations between Canada and the UAE. It is Canada's largest trading partner in the Middle East with trade worth $1.5bn a year. The Aberdeenshire-based firm hopes to raise the money in six months. Its Equity for Punks USA investment scheme is the fifth fundraising venture by the brewery, and its first in America. BrewDog is currently constructing a new 100,000 sq ft brewery in Columbus, Ohio, which is scheduled to open later this year. It will feature a restaurant, taproom, retail space, visitor centre and beer garden. The Ellon-based company has raised more than £26m since launching its first Equity for Punks crowdfunding round in 2009. Its last UK round raised £19m to fund growth plans, including expanding its brewery in Ellon and opening new bars. The round, which closed in April, fell short of its £25m target. BrewDog's British business now employs more than 600 people globally and exports to 55 countries. It also operates more than 40 bars in the UK and overseas. BrewDog co-founder James Watt said: "Equity for Punks is a completely new business model in the States - it's a revolution in small business finance. "We're asking beer fans to help us change the face of small business finance in the US and spread our passion for great craft beer. "Few companies have been so bold as to turn their backs on traditional financial institutions in favour of a brave new world of community-driven business. "We've pioneered the Equity Punk model in the UK, and now we're bringing our unconventional approach to alternative business stateside." The court heard Mrs Brooks spoke to the former prime minister and passed on what he had said to James Murdoch, then News International executive chairman. In an email, she said Mr Blair had said he was "available" to her, James and Rupert Murdoch as an "unofficial adviser", the Old Bailey heard. Mrs Brooks denies any wrongdoing. In the email, Mrs Brooks said Mr Blair had urged her to set up a "Hutton style" inquiry - a reference to the inquiry into the death of government weapons adviser Dr David Kelly. She said Mr Blair's offer of further advice "needs to be between us". The Hutton report exonerated Mr Blair and other officials over claims they exaggerated the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in a dossier of evidence. Mrs Brooks sent the email on Monday 11 July 2011 - the day after the final edition of the News of the World had been published. She resigned as News International's chief executive the following Friday, and was arrested on Sunday. During the email exchange, she told Mr Murdoch there was no indication that the News of the World had suffered from a sales boycott on its final weekend. Her email read: "I had an hour on the phone to Tony Blair. "He said: "1. Form an independent unit that has an outside junior counsel, Ken Macdonald [former director of public prosecutions], a great and good type, a serious forensic criminal barrister, internal counsel, proper fact checkers etc in it. Get them to investigate me and others and publish a Hutton-style report. Read profiles of the defendants "2. Publish part one of the report at same time as the police closes its inquiry and clear you and accept shortcomings and new solutions and process and part two when any trials are over. "3. Keep strong and definitely sleeping pills. Need to have clear heads and remember no rash short-term solutions as they only give you long-term headaches. "4. It will pass. Tough up. "5. He is available for you, KRM [Rupert Murdoch] and me as an unofficial adviser but needs to be between us. He is sending more notes later." Mr Blair's office issued a statement later, saying: "This was Mr Blair simply giving informal advice over the phone. "He made it absolutely clear to Ms Brooks that, though he knew nothing personally about the facts of the case, in a situation as serious as this it was essential to have a fully transparent and independent process to get to the bottom of what had happened. "That inquiry should be led by credible people, get all the facts out there and that if anything wrong were found there should be immediate action taken and the changes to the organisation made so that they could not happen again." The defence case for Mrs Brooks is expected to start later this week. She denies conspiracy to hack voicemails, conspiracy to make corrupt payments to public officials and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Mrs Brooks is one of seven defendants in the phone-hacking trial. They all deny the various charges. The incident happened at about 12:30 on the corner of South Charlotte Street and Princes Street. Witness Ken Greig, 56, from Edinburgh, said: "The lorry is at a 45 degree angle as it was turning into South Charlotte Street. "The car is now wedged under the lorry and the car roof is nearly off." He added: "There is a woman being treated in a chair beside the car. "There is traffic chaos with cars backed up as far as Haymarket Station and up Lothian Road." Police Scotland said a female driver of the car was being treated for minor injuries. Mr Abe had run unopposed after no other candidates managed to gain enough support from within the party to run. He said he would continue to focus on the economy before Japan's next elections, scheduled for 2018. Japan has seen a resurgence in nationalism in recent years, in part led by the hawkish Mr Abe. He has also pushed for a controversial change in military legislation. Mr Abe previously served as LDP chief and prime minister from 2006 to 2007. The ruling party's leader usually holds the post of prime minister. His win of a second consecutive term is considered rare as Japanese political parties often change their leaders. Japan's Kyodo news agency said no LDP leader had been returned unopposed since 1997. New laws that would allow Japanese troops to fight abroad for the first time since World War Two have been passed by Japan's lower house and is expected to be endorsed by the upper chamber soon. The move has been vigorously protested, with thousands holding a demonstration two weekends ago outside of parliament. Mr Abe has also come fire for his economic policy, also known as Abenomics, which initially worked in jumpstarting the economy but later faltered. He pledged before Tuesday's vote that he would "spread the feeling of recovery to every nook and cranny of the regions and throughout the country, completely escape deflation and create growth in a strong, future-oriented economy".

Speaking at talks on Middle East security, Ash Carter said the troops would include special forces trainers, advisers and bomb disposal teams. They will join 300 US special forces who are already in Syria. Last month a US-backed coalition of Kurdish and Arab fighters said it had begun an operation to capture Raqqa. The Syria Democratic Forces (SDF) had been gaining ground in areas north of the so-called Islamic State's "capital" in Syria. Speaking on Saturday at a meeting in Bahrain, Mr Carter said the 200 additional troops would "continue organising, training, equipping, and otherwise enabling capable, motivated, local forces" to take the fight to IS. A US-led coalition has been fighting IS - mainly through air strikes - in Syria and in neighbouring Iraq. But the main conflict in Syria pits the government of President Bashar al-Assad - assisted by Russian air power - against rebels backed by Turkey, Gulf states and the US. One key battleground is Aleppo, once Syria's largest city, where pro-government forces continue their advance in eastern, rebel-held areas. In a BBC interview broadcast on Saturday, the UN special envoy for Syria warned that a government victory in Aleppo would not end the war. "A serious discussion about the future political set-up of Syria" is the only way to achieve peace, Staffan de Mistura told BBC Radio 4's Today. The only way to win peace and stability in Syria, he continued, was a power-sharing agreement. Syria's army seized 85% of the rebel-held part of the city in recent weeks. The intensification in fighting has forced tens of thousands to seek refuge in government-controlled territory. Russian officials say up to 10,500 left during a temporary humanitarian pause on Thursday alone. Mr Carter added that Russia, Syria's main ally, had "only inflamed the civil war and prolonged suffering". Meanwhile, foreign ministers from the US and Europe, as well as officials from Arab countries are discussing the Syrian conflict in Paris. Saturday's talks were expected to focus on ways to protect civilians, as well as the future of the rebels in eastern Aleppo. US Secretary of State John Kerry, who is attending the talks, sought to lower expectations saying: "I know people are tired of these meetings, I'm tired of these meetings. "But what am I supposed to do? Go home and have a nice weekend in Massachusetts, while people are dying? Sit there in Washington and do nothing?" He described the conflict in Aleppo as the worst "since World War Two". The UN estimates that up to 100,000 people are squeezed into an "ever-shrinking" rebel pocket in eastern Aleppo with little or no access to food or water. Aleppo was once Syria's commercial and industrial hub before the uprising against President Assad began in 2011. It has been divided in roughly two since mid-2012. But in the past year, Syrian troops broke the deadlock with the help of Iranian-backed militias and Russian air strikes. 14 March 2016 Last updated at 15:10 GMT More than 30,000 local and international artists performed at the event. Produced by Vikas Pandey, filmed and edited by Devashish Kumar Forty English radio stations were facing cuts of £15m and 280 jobs as part of plans to slash 20% from the BBC's budget over five years. But Lord Patten said the cuts would have a "disproportionate impact" on the BBC's output and reputation. Thousands of listeners, MPs and local authorities complained about the plans, saying the stations had a vital role. The BBC Trust - which is the corporation's governing body - made its decision after hearing "real concerns" during a public consultation. Lord Patten said: "Local and regional services in England provide something unique for audiences that can otherwise be neglected by the mainstream media. The BBC cannot afford to get these changes wrong." The proposals were announced last October by director general Mark Thompson, following a lower-than-expected licence fee settlement. Several stations faced losing between a quarter and a third of their staff, with neighbouring stations expected to share programmes in the afternoon. Staff warned Mr Thompson at the Radio Festival in Salford last November that cuts would damage programme quality. Radio Merseyside presenter Roger Phillips said the station would lose 15 of its 46 staff, meaning "we can't provide quality at all". A group of writers and cultural figures from Liverpool - including Willy Russell, Alan Bleasdale and Roger McGough - wrote an open letter to The Times complaining of the proposals, saying the station gave "voice to the beating heart" of the community. Lord Patten said the trust had asked the BBC to review three key areas. Campaigning group Voice of the Listener and Viewer welcomed Lord Patten's speech and said in a statement: "We are delighted because this clearly demonstrates that the Trust does respond to what viewers and listeners want and the local cuts are very unpopular." The Trust also asked the BBC to re-consider plans to merge regional current affairs programming, meaning fewer shows covering larger geographical areas. And it suggested that the weekly current affairs show on BBC 5 live should be saved from cancellation. BBC English regions controller David Holdsworth told staff in an email: "I am sure anyone working at one of our Local Radio stations or in one of our Inside Out teams will be pleased by this news. "It is also gratifying to see that so many listeners and viewers value public service broadcasting at a local level and wrote to the Trust to say so. Put simply, it is clear many listeners and viewers feel passionately about what you do.‬ "However it is also the case that every pound not saved in these areas will have to be found somewhere in the BBC, as the challenges set by the licence fee settlement remain the same, and we will have to bear this in mind as we make our revised proposals, which will still include savings."‬ Lord Patten said he hoped the changes would cost the BBC "no more than £10m", which should come from "non-content budgets". Director General Mark Thompson said the process "will be challenging" but he was glad that the trust had "endorsed the great majority of our proposals" to save money. In a speech, he said it could not be "justified" that the US accounted for about 70% of Nato defence spending. He also said the UK would not seek to prevent the EU from forming a closer common defence policy. During his election campaign, Mr Trump was critical of Nato, describing the Western military alliance as obsolete. He suggested that the US would think twice about coming to the aid of any Nato ally under attack if it had not paid its "fair share". The UK, which meets the commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defence, has also been urging other countries to increase their contributions. Mr Johnson, in a speech to the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House, said the UK must "redouble our resolve to defend and preserve the best of the rules-based international order" to prevent a return to "an older and more brutal system where the strong are free to devour the weak". "We have to acknowledge that in many respects the world is not in good shape. We have the cult of the strong man, we have democracy in retreat, we have an arc of instability across the Middle East from Iraq to Syria to Libya. What is the answer of the UK, is it to cower and put the pillow over our heads? Emphatically not." He committed Britain to the concept of collective Nato defence: "At the heart of this institution - Nato, the most durable and successful defence alliance in history - lies the security guarantee contained in the North Atlantic Treaty Article 5, that an attack on any one member shall be considered an attack against them all. "And in offering that guarantee, President-elect Donald Trump has a point. It cannot be justified that one Nato ally, America, accounts for about 70% of the alliance's defence spending while the other 27 countries manage only 30% between them. " He said every Nato member should meet the agreed target of spending 2% of GDP on defence, and 20% of their defence budget on new equipment. Mr Johnson said Britain would not oppose attempts by the European Union to form a common defence policy: "You know, if they want to do that, fine. Obviously they should also spend 2% of their GDP on defence, it might be the first thing to get right, but we are not there to block or to impede further steps towards EU integration if that is what they so desire." And the foreign secretary said that strong defence did not preclude negotiations and that he believed pressure could be brought to bear on Russia - amid tensions with Nato over Crimea and the bombing campaign in Syria. "We can't normalise relations with Russia or go back to business as usual. But as I've said time and again, Russia could win the acclaim of the world by halting its bombing campaign of Syria, delivering Assad to peace talks, abiding by the letter of the Minsk agreements in Ukraine." Starting in third place, the pair won the team elimination race and then the day's first madison, with Wiggins claiming victory in the derny final. The teams of Kenny De Ketele / Moreno De Pauw and Elia Viviani / Iljo Keisse are only one lap down and both have more points than the leading pair. Wiggins, 36, has hinted the race in the city of his birth could be his last. After finishing second to De Pauw and De Ketele of Belgium in last month's Six Day London event, the five-time Olympic champion said he could be tempted to race there again next year. But on Monday he told reporters to ask him on Sunday, at the end of the Ghent event, whether this would be his last race. Find out how to get into cycling with our special guide. Eoin Morgan's men will also face South Africa, West Indies and a qualifier in the second group stage of the tournament which begins on 8 March. Ireland and Scotland enter at the first group stage, but have been drawn in separate pools of four teams. In the women's competition, England are in the same group as India, and Ireland will face champions Australia.

The semi-finals will also be double-headers, in New Delhi and Mumbai respectively. The men's tournament will carry total prize money of $5.6m (£3.7m), an increase of 86% from the 2014 tournament in Bangladesh. The women's prize money is up 122% to $400,000 (£264,000). "The ICC World Twenty20 is an event which puts the world's best cricketers in the shortest format of the game against each other in a nation versus nation contest," said International Cricket Council chief executive Dave Richardson. "The Twenty20 format provides the perfect vehicle by which the ICC can further globalise the game, providing international exposure and opportunity to our top Associate and Affiliate members. "The ICC World Twenty20 event structure is designed to provide highly competitive matches throughout, with eight evenly matched sides fighting it out in the first round and the best two then getting in the mix with the top eight ranked teams in the Super 10 stage where the intensity and competition will be of the very highest level." The World T20 has been held on five occasions since the inaugural tournament in 2007, with five different men's champions - India, Pakistan, England, West Indies and Sri Lanka. The men's 2016 event will be last biennial tournament, with the competition switching to a four-year cycle. The women's tournament, which began in 2009 and has been won only by England (once) and Australia (three times), is to remain biennial. Abdurraouf Eshati, who had an address in Wrexham and was due to stand trial at the Old Bailey, changed his plea. The 29-year-old admitted collecting information for terrorist purposes on or around 1 December, 2014. The charge related to two electronic documents on the purchase of ammunition and cargo plane hire. The court heard the documents outlined a plan to send the huge consignment of ammunition to Libya, via a contact in Italy, in support of the Zintan people of the eastern region. Eshati was caught trying to get to France in the back of a lorry with 19 other people at the port of Dover in Kent on 30 November last year. On his mobile phone, police found an invoice from an arms supplier for the sale and delivery of ammunition to Tobruk in Libya and a document about chartering a cargo jet for £163,000 for use in Libya. Eshati also sent a contact photographs of activists from the militia group Ansar Al Sharia, a beheading and armaments in action, demonstrating his allegiance to the Zintan people. Police also raided Eshati's address in Wrexham as part of the investigation. Meanwhile, investigations in Italy revealed the defendant had been caught up in a determined attempt to get arms into Libya in plain contravention of the UN embargo. But cash for the hire of the cargo jet went missing and the deal was never completed. Eshati's role was to translate the documents for a friend and senior Libyan Army officer, Ibrahim El-Tumi, who was believed to have brokered the deal. On his arrest, Eshati told police he had been in Britain since 2009 on a visa and later as an asylum seeker. He said his father had been a senior figure in the Gaddafi regime and was now in prison in Tripoli while his two brothers had been murdered. However, this was a false claim. Eshati has also admitted seeking leave to remain in the United Kingdom by deception on or before 14, December 2012, by falsely claiming he was at risk of persecution if returned to Libya. He is in custody and will be sentenced on Tuesday. The alleged attack happened in Chigwell, Essex, on 31 October when the officer tried to breathalyse a driver. Tony Turner, 36, of Vincent Road, Dagenham, has been charged with a number of offences including assault and aggravated vehicle-taking. He was remanded after appearing at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court. Mr Turner will next appear at Chelmsford Crown Court in February. Charges against him include: assault, furnishing false information, driving other than in accordance with a licence, possessing identity documents with intent, aggravated vehicle-taking, escape from lawful custody and driving without insurance. The police car was later found in Romford with the Labrador dog unharmed. The 26-year-old secured her place through the Oceania qualifying tournament in Australia, beating Fiji's Grace Yee 11-2, 11-3, 11-4, 11-7. "I can't believe I'm a part of Australian sporting history," she said. Tapper was born with nerve damage to her right shoulder and arm and wears a brace on her arm to help stabilise her serve. "I was ridiculously nervous before my matches today," she added. "I am so excited and stoked with this result, it has come from a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication and a lot of support. "Rio is going to be an experience of a lifetime. I want to do the best I can in the Olympics and win gold in the Paralympics." Tapper, who has already qualified for the Rio Paralympics, missed out on a medal on her Paralympic debut in London, where she finished fourth. However she won a team bronze while competing against able-bodied players at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Foreign Secretary William Hague was delivering the findings of a review into claims an SAS officer helped Delhi plan the raid which killed hundreds. The storming of the Golden Temple in the city of Amritsar was intended to flush out Sikh separatists. Mr Hague said UK assistance was "purely advisory" and given months beforehand. The inquiry was launched last month after declassified documents were said to suggest Margaret Thatcher's government was involved in planning the raid, called Operation Blue Star. Official figures put the death toll at 575, but Mr Hague said other reports suggested "as many as 3,000 people were killed including pilgrims caught in the crossfire". "This loss of life was an utter tragedy," he said. "Understandably members of the Sikh community around the world still feel the pain and suffering caused by these events." By Sanjoy MajumderBBC News, in Delhi The military commander who led Operation Blue Star, Lt Gen Kuldeep Singh Brar, has told the BBC that he had no knowledge of any advice from Britain to India. In 2007 a former Indian intelligence officer, B Raman, claimed agents from the UK's MI5 had visited the Golden Temple four months before the raid. The UK government review appears to corroborate the claim that a British adviser was sent. But it also appears that the British advice was limited to a few people and certainly not shared with military commanders. In India, Operation Blue Star has always been seen as a military disaster, which led to the loss of hundreds of lives - including those of civilians - and to the eventual assassination of the then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The latest revelations will only lead to more questions about the assault on the Golden Temple, why it was a disaster and if, in fact, it could have been averted. Delivering his statement, Mr Hague set out the UK's involvement in planning for the raid. He told the Commons that the British government had received an urgent request for help from Indian authorities who wanted to regain control of the temple from Sikh militants. In response, an unnamed British military adviser was sent to India in February 1984, and he recommended any attack should be a last resort, MPs heard. The adviser suggested using an element of surprise, as well as helicopters, to try to keep casualty numbers low - features which were not part of the final operation, Mr Hague said. No equipment or training were offered, Mr Hague said, and the Indian plan "changed significantly" in the following three months, to cope with a considerably larger dissident force and extensive fortifications within the temple complex. The investigation, carried out by Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood, involved searching 200 files and 23,000 documents. Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I hope the manner in which we have investigated these dreadful events will provide some reassurance to the Sikh community, here in Britain and elsewhere." He added: "A single UK military officer provided some advice. But critically, this advice was not followed, and it was a one-off." Retired Lt Gen Kuldeep Singh Brar, who led Operation Blue Star, maintains he had no advice or support from Britain. "If some things went around months earlier or weeks earlier with other agencies, intelligence agencies, I am not aware of them," he told the BBC. "From the time I was given command of Operation Blue Star until I planned it and executed it, let me emphatically tell you that there was no involvement whatsoever as far as the British are concerned." Paul Uppal, the UK's only Sikh MP, said many Sikhs would be "relieved that it was just purely advice that was given". He praised the speed and thoroughness of the review and said it could be an "important step" towards "some closure" for Sikhs. But Lord Indarjit Singh, director of the Network of Sikh Organisations, called Mr Hague's statement "smug and condescending". On the claim that UK advice had a "limited impact" of the Golden Temple attack, Lord Singh said: "It is like saying that I had only a minimal involvement in a massacre or a holocaust." He said the language in the documents was "insulting" to Sikhs - suggesting they were all extremists - and the UK's real motivation in assisting India was keeping its arms contracts. But Mr Hague said the review had found "no evidence" UK military advice in February 1984 had been "linked to defence sales or any other policy issue". Jasvir Singh, director of the City Sikhs Network, which represents Sikh professionals in the UK, said the information disclosed in the review "harks back" to colonial times. "I think there are lots of people in the Sikh community who are upset that the British could be involved in this, even to a limited extent," he said. Mr Singh said many details about British involvement in the 1984 attack were still unclear, and called for "transparency" from the authorities. UK Sikh groups have said the government review should have looked not only at June 1984 but also the events that followed, and Mr Singh also criticised this "narrow scope". The Indian government said the UK had kept it "informed on this matter". "We have noted the report and the statement made," an Indian foreign ministry spokesman said. David Cameron ordered the review last month after Labour MP Tom Watson said he had seen papers from Margaret Thatcher "authorising Special Air Services (SAS) to work with the Indian government". Mr Watson cited two letters released under the 30-year rule. He said a 1984 letter from the prime minister's office stated that a British adviser had "visited India and drawn up a plan" which had been approved by the Indian government. Shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said "serious questions" remained about British involvement, and called for all relevant documents to be released. The Sikh separatists at the Golden Temple in 1984 had been demanding an independent homeland - called Khalistan - in Punjab. In October 1984 Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards in what was thought to be a revenge attack for what happened at the Golden Temple. A month later, more than 3,000 people were killed in anti-Sikh riots across India. The scheme is one of the largest ever at a FTSE 100 company outside banking. The biggest beneficiary will be chief executive Jeff Fairburn, who could earn more than £100m. Mike Fox, from Royal London Asset Management, said the payments were too high "in all circumstances". He called on the board to show restraint in the light of the housing crisis and government support for the housebuilding industry. When the scheme was put in place, the housing market had begun to recover from the 2008 recession. About 150 managers were given the opportunity to earn shares worth up to 10% of the company's total value, provided they hit tough targets on returning money to investors. The company recently said it was running well ahead of those targets, and analysts say it is likely the scheme will pay out in full. Persimmon shares have more than tripled in value since the incentive plan was put in place, rising from £6.20 to about £20. Disclosure of the size of the payments is likely to stoke the debate over executive compensation. There has been a string of investor rebellions against pay deals this year, and in April a majority of shareholders voted against a £14m package for BP boss Bob Dudley. Shareholders cannot veto amounts paid, but do have the final say on companies' pay policies. Persimmon's scheme has been backed by most shareholders - they have been well rewarded as the share price has risen and the company has handed back cash - but some remain vehemently opposed. Mr Fox, head of sustainable investment at Royal London Asset Management, which voted against the deal at its inception and every year since, said it gave away too much of the company. Other critics of the scheme say Persimmon executives are being handsomely rewarded simply for being in charge during a recovery in the housing market. The company has defended the payouts, saying that since the scheme was put in place. Persimmon has increased the number of new homes it builds by half and invested more than £2bn in new land. Over the same period it has handed back £1bn to shareholders. "This is a long-term plan that runs for almost a decade which is designed to drive outperformance through the housing cycle and to incentivise the management to deliver the capital return, grow the business and increase the share price," the company said. The new £20 note is due to be introduced by 2020, but the tender for production has been put on hold. Vegans, Hindus and Sikhs have objected to the tallow used in plastic notes. The Bank said it was now assessing whether palm oil or coconut oil should be used instead. However, the announcement proved controversial with conservation groups, who warned that palm oil production can wreck rainforests and displace people living in them. "It would depend on where the Bank of England source it," said Rachel Agnew of the Rainforest Foundation. "Whether it is sustainable is the issue." Palm oil production was responsible for 8% of the world's deforestation between 1990 and 2008. However, in its statement, the Bank of England says it is committed to using sustainable levels of palm oil, should that eventually be chosen for the new notes. And it says that the amounts of oil needed are so small that there would be no need for an increase in global production. The Bank has also published an independent report on the separate environmental impacts of palm oil, coconut oil and tallow. Nevertheless the Rainforest Foundation takes issue on how sustainability is certified. Doug Maw, who started a petition about the use of animal fat in the fiver, said he was disappointed by the Bank's decision to consider palm oil. He met the Bank's chief cashier, Victoria Cleland, in January to discuss the issue. "In my meeting I highlighted palm oil as something they should avoid doing," he told the BBC. "The destruction of habitat caused by over-production of palm oil is contributing to the near-extinction of the orangutan." The existing £5 plastic note, and the new £10 note due for release in September, will continue to use trace amounts of animal fat. The Bank has said it is not practical to change the way such notes are made. Matthew Oliver said he was "over the moon" after his pumpkin weighed-in at 95st (605kg) at the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth festival in Southampton. He now holds the UK record for the biggest pumpkin grown outdoors. The horticulturist, from Essex, grew the gourd from a seed which came from the current world record holder. Mr Oliver, who works at RHS Hyde Hall near South Woodham Ferrers, said: " I'm so happy, but I'm not sure at this stage if I'll ever do it again." The parent pumpkin was grown in Switzerland in 2014 by Beni Meier, who still holds the world record for the heaviest gourd at 166st (1,054kg). Mr Oliver's pumpkin seed was planted in mid April. He said it took six days to germinate before becoming a "vigorous grower". A sling and forklift was used to lift the pumpkin before the weigh-in at the annual event at Royal Victoria Park. Writer Rachel Wright, of Southend, Essex, said 100% attendance awards "demonise the weak". Mrs Wright said she is particularly attuned to this issue because one of her three sons has cerebral palsy. "You get rewarded for hard work. They don't give you a reward if you have brown hair," she added. She has written a blog about her concerns which has been viewed on Facebook by more than two-and-half million people, she said. Her three children are Sam, 11, who has cerebral palsy, Jonah, 10, who received the 100% attendance award, and two-year-old Ethan. She said she told Jonah: "You will not get a reward for not being sick." Mrs Wright, who has written a book about her experiences bringing up a child with cerebral palsy called The Skies I'm Under, said there are children at the school with asthma and she does not think they should be penalised for not having a 100% attendance. In her blog she said: "In this family you are not shamed for ill health, vulnerability or weakness. In this house you are not encouraged to spread germs when you are not well. In this house we look after ourselves and the weakest amongst us." She said said she did not want to "victimise" the school as this is a common practice, but she wanted to spark a debate about her concerns. "I know the school is trying to prevent absences, but I don't think this is the way to do it," she added. James Courtenay, executive councillor for children and learning at education authority Southend Council, a unitary council, said: "With school attendance so crucial to a child's education and the clear link to attainment it is easy to see why schools reward attendance in this way. "However I can also understand Mrs Wright's view, who makes some interesting and eloquent points in her blog. "It is a difficult situation for schools but ultimately it is a matter for individual schools to decide on." The Department for Education said it would not comment on awards for attendance as this would be a school decision. The latest statistics show that councils across Scotland are now collecting more of the money they are due. Nationally, the collection rate for the tax rose again slightly to a figure of 95.4%. The lowest collection rate was in Dundee, where it stood at 93%. Councils say anyone who has difficulty paying their council tax should contact them as early as possible to discuss possible solutions. For many years the collection rate for the council tax was relatively low - in part the legacy of deliberate non payment of the community charge or poll tax in the early 1990s. In 2004 the collection rate in Glasgow was just 85%. Now it is almost 95%. The areas with the highest collection rates included Stirling, East Renfrewshire and Orkney, where it was about 97%. The pressure on local authority budgets in recent years has made it more vital than ever for councils to collect as much council tax as possible. It has been hard for some to make further major improvements in payment rates in recent years. However, some say schemes to make it easier to pay - for instance spreading payments over 12 months instead of 10 - have helped people on tight budgets avoid arrears. The figures also show that councils are still owed 3% of the council tax they should have been paid in 2004/05. Poll tax arrears from the early 1990s were officially written off by the Scottish government earlier this year. Councils are still entitled to pursue historic council tax arrears. However, in practice, there are often questions about whether the time and effort involved to recover what may be relatively small amounts from several years ago are the best use of resources. Across the country as a whole, prices rose by 7.2%, compared to 6.9% in 2015. The average price of a house or flat reached £220,000 in the year to the end of December, the ONS said. The region with the largest increase was the East of England (11.3%), followed by the South East (8.5%). After Shetland, the place where prices rose fastest was Basildon, in Essex, which saw an average rise of 17.3%. Nearby Maldon saw prices go up by 16.2%. Prices fell most dramatically in Aberdeen, down 9.8%. The market there has suffered from a downturn in the oil industry. Most experts believe house price inflation in 2017 will be much lower than in either of the two previous years. Where can I afford to live? Gilston Hill Wind Farm Ltd wants to put up seven turbines on land north west of Gilston Farm, near Heriot. A 16-turbine project in the same area - straddling the boundary with Midlothian - was turned down in 2013 after an appeal to the Scottish government. A fresh planning application has now gone to Scottish Borders Council. Developers said that the new proposals had a "much smaller layout footprint", which would "dramatically" reduce the landscape impact. I'm not talking here about the TV Wogan - that's an altogether different person - but the radio Wogan was definitely in charge of a slightly strange and very, very British sect - a sort of Akela to a pack of radio-listening, whimsical, ageing cub scouts. But how do you explain that to someone who didn't listen or didn't get the jokes? "I'm not sure what we've lost but it feels like a moment," was one conversation I had with a BBC boss. I sat there nodding, equally struggling to think past the cliches people write about Wogan. Then it came to me, PG Wodehouse. He was president of the PG Wodehouse Society: Jeeves, Bertie Wooster, Gussie Fink-Nottle - all the characters sort of echo the mood of a morning with Wogan. The emails from Chuffer Dandridge said it all. Mark Lawson writing in The Guardian mentions the influence of Brian O'Nolan and his books written under the name Flann O'Brien. The mood is light, silly, surreal but the comedy is deeply clever. Suddenly it made sense. The Wogan mood was set fast in an imaginative world created by a childhood steeped in Billy Bunter, Just William, half-remembered Latin, the Goons, Round the Horne and Janet and John books. The barely broadcast-able rewritings of the now-grown-up Janet and John that so amused him sounded odd and out of place when replayed on other radio programmes. The joke depended on the atmosphere and, wonderful as the Today Programme is. it struggles with the old fashioned joy of half concealed smut. The other problem is that Janet and John were on their way out in the 1970s. Those under 45 might know they were reading books for the under-fives but unless you had actually sat in a dusty classroom wondering what was the point of reading when the stories were so unfathomably dull then I doubt you'd have enjoyed the parodies in quite the same way. Wogan's radio show was a shared joke based on the sort of shared reference points that binds a nation together. The passing of Wogan isn't just the passing of a great broadcaster - it creates a feeling that I haven't got a word for. I don't know if it exists (I bet there's one for it in German) but it's this - that slightly dispiriting deflation when a joke or a reference or even a mood you express is met with blank incomprehension. Wogan was the master of the shared joke and now there's one less person to share the joke with. Oh, I think I know what the word is now. It's feeling old. Tameside Hospital said it was doing so because of a significant increase during the last year in the number of suspected malnourished patients. The hospital will soon start working with the Trussell Trust, which has a network of food banks across Tameside. There will be a central collection point and several "bins" where staff and visitors can leave contributions. Volunteers will take the donated food to a warehouse in Ashton-under-Lyne. Emergency boxes will then be distributed discreetly to vulnerable patients when they are discharged. Tameside Hospital Chief Executive Karen James said there was "great enthusiasm" among her staff to tackle malnourishment. "The majority of colleagues live in the community they serve, and some will be aware - either first hand, or through family and friends - of other neighbours who are struggling to cope," she said. Gwen Drain, manager of the Tameside East food bank, said she was "delighted by the hospital's approach". She added: "Today in Tameside there are families struggling to put food on the table. For people on low incomes, a sudden crisis - redundancy, benefit delay or even an unexpected bill - can mean going hungry. "Every day parents skip meals to feel their children and people are forced to choose between paying the rent and eating." The number of malnourished patients in English and Welsh hospitals has risen from 5,469 to 6,520 in the past year, according to the Department of Health-funded Health and Social Care Information Centre. 27 November 2015 Last updated at 01:04 GMT As one of the BBC's 100 Women 2015, she talks to Zeinab Badawi about justice, gender, and race.

A top official told the BBC there were "limits" to how long Russia, a key ally of the Syrian government, would wait. Under a deal which has halted fighting in Syria, only so-called Islamic State (IS) and a group previously officially linked to al-Qaeda can be targeted. Meanwhile, the UN is still waiting to be able deliver aid to besieged Aleppo. Some 20 trucks have been waiting for safe passage to cross from Turkey into Syria and on to rebel-held east Aleppo since the cessation of hostilities came into effect on Monday. The UN however says it has not yet received permits from the Syrian government to allow the trucks into opposition areas, where at least 250,000 people are in desperate need of food and medicine. Russia said Syrian government troops had begun to withdraw from Castello Road on the outskirts of Aleppo - the route through which the trucks will pass - on Thursday but this has not been independently confirmed. Syrian and rebel forces are meant to pull back from the road to allow aid convoys through as part of the US-Russian deal which led to the cessation of hostilities. A UK-based monitoring group said Russian troops were replacing Syrian government forces along the road. Rebel groups said they would not withdraw from around Castello Road until government forces did. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov told the BBC his country was confident that Syria would honour the ceasefire agreement but had "more doubts about the opposition". He said the US needed to do more to persuade "moderate" rebel groups to disassociate themselves from Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, which is the strongest jihadist rebel group and is excluded from the ceasefire. If the cessation holds for seven days, the US and Russia have agreed to jointly plan attacks on Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, which was previously known as al-Nusra, and IS. However, other rebel groups, many of them Western-backed, have shown no sign of separating from Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, to which they are strategically allied in some areas. The US "have been promising to do the maximum possible to separate the moderate opposition from the Nusra Front since February", when a previous cessation of hostilities deal was agreed, said Mr Bogdanov. Since then, the US had been saying "just hold on", he said. "We're waiting, but there are limits," the Russian official added. Mr Bogdanov said the current deal was "the only plan on the table". "We have no Plan B," he said. "Massive amounts of money" were owed, he said, voicing a long-held US concern that others are not paying enough. But Nato states' contributions are voluntary and a target of spending 2% of GDP on defence is only a guideline. The alliance later agreed that member-states would report back annually on defence spending to Nato. Again condemning Monday's bombing in Manchester, Mr Trump said terrorism must be "stopped in its tracks". He called for a moment of silence in memory of the 22 adults and children killed in the "savage attack". Before visiting Nato's new headquarters, which was formally opened at Thursday's gathering, Mr Trump met several EU leaders for the first time, including France's new President, Emmanuel Macron. His first foreign tour as president will end on the Italian island of Sicily at a G7 summit on Friday. For those within Nato uncertain about President Trump's commitment to the alliance, his brief visit to open the new headquarters building in Brussels will have provided little reassurance. The commander-in-chief of the most powerful military in Nato still seems unclear as to how its defence resources are generated. He spoke again of countries who fall short of the Nato defence spending target as "owing" money from past years - which is not how things work at all. He made what seemed intended as an amusing aside, noting he had not asked what the new headquarters building had cost. Well, he ought to know because the US has provided its share of the funding! And there was no explicit re-statement of his administration's commitment to Nato's mutual security guarantees - the bedrock of the alliance. The mere fact that this question is raised at all shows just how uneasy remains the relationship between Mr Trump and the organisation of which his country is the leading member. According to Nato's 2016 annual report, only five countries met the 2% defence spending target - the US, the UK, Greece, Poland and Estonia. The alliance hopes that all 28 member-states will reach this target by 2024. "This is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the United States, and many of these nations owe massive amounts of money from past years and [from] not paying in those past years," Mr Trump said. Germany spent 1.2% on defence in that period, but Berlin argues that its spending on development aid also contributes to international security. Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg announced after Thursday's talks that member-states would begin submitting annual national plans this year in the interests of transparency. "Trump has been clear on his commitment to Nato," he insisted. "But President Trump has also been clear in the message to all allies that we have to deliver on the pledge we made to increase defence spending." Mr Trump has been criticised for his admiration of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his administration is embroiled in allegations of close ties with Russian interests. But at Nato HQ, he said: "The Nato of the future must include a great focus on terrorism and immigration, as well as on threats from Russia and on Nato's eastern and southern borders." There was some concern that Mr Trump had not mentioned Article Five, Nato's commitment to mutual defence in the event of an attack on a member, but an unnamed White House official told Reuters news agency that the president stood united with other Nato leaders. Earlier, European Council President Donald Tusk said after meeting Mr Trump: "I'm not 100% sure we can say that we have a common position... on Russia although when it comes to the conflict on Ukraine we were on the same line." "Terrorism must be stopped in its tracks or the horror you saw in Manchester, and so many other places, will continue forever," he said. "You have thousands and thousands of people pouring into our various countries and spreading throughout, and in many cases we have no idea who they are. We must be tough, we must be strong and we must be vigilant." Earlier, he condemned the leaking of details of the investigation to US media. It has agreed to take a bigger role in the campaign against so-called Islamic State (IS) and others, but France and Germany insist the move is mostly symbolic. There are concerns that Nato joining the anti-IS coalition could lead to the alliance becoming embroiled in post-conflict Iraq or Libya as it did in Afghanistan, says the BBC's Jonathan Marcus. "Some issues remain open, like climate and trade," Mr Tusk said after he and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker met Mr Trump. EU leaders are concerned that Mr Trump may abandon a US commitment to reduce greenhouse gases under the UN Paris accord. Mr Juncker said that at his meeting with Mr Trump, both sides had emphasised "that we should have free but fair competition". "There's going to be a Commission delegation and a Trump delegation in the next few weeks to come together on trade matters because we felt there was too much divergence, too much divergence in our analysis and our measures." The atmosphere between the US conservative and the French centrist appeared strained when they met at the US embassy in Brussels. The two leaders clasped each other's hands, leaning in towards each other slightly. Mr Trump started to pull away, but Mr Macron held on tighter and refused to let him go, the BBC's Tara McKelvey reports. Another awkward moment came at Nato headquarters when a smiling Mr Trump pushed past the Prime Minister of Montenegro, DuÅ¡ko Markovic. Melania Trump attended the meeting with President Macron and later spent time with his wife Brigitte, visiting the Magritte museum of surreal art in Brussels. Too often grieving relatives were shut out of investigations or left without clear answers, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) said. The report is the culmination of a one-year inquiry on the back of some high-profile cases of neglect. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is expected to make health trusts publish statistics on preventable deaths. Prominent recent cases include the deaths of 33-year-old Richard Handley and 18-year-old Connor Sparrowhawk. Connor, who had a learning disability and epilepsy, died in 2013 while receiving care at an Oxfordshire treatment centre run by Southern Health NHS Trust. Initially the trust classified Connor's death as a result of natural causes after he drowned in a bath. Following campaigns by his family, an independent investigation found his death was entirely preventable, there had been failures in his care and neglect had contributed to it. Richard Handley had lifelong problems with constipation, exacerbated by his Down's syndrome and medication. He died in 2012, days after being admitted to Ipswich Hospital from a supported living unit run by the United Response charity. A review found Richard's health needs were overlooked, confirming his family's fears. Not all deaths would represent a medical failing or problem with the way the person had been supported during their life, said the report. Key findings Speaking to the BBC's Radio 5 Live, Connor Sparrowhawk's step-father Richard Huggins said: "(For the NHS) to be consistently surprised by the data, irrespective of the type of report - whether it's a specific one on learning disabilities or mental health, or more generally - strikes me as disappointing. "No action" had been taken since his step-son's death, he said, and he could not see how people would not still be dying. He told the programme: "Everyone's unexpected death is as important as anyone else's, they should all be seen as unacceptable. "People with mental ill-health and learning disabilities have additional issues that need to be looked at differently and specifically, otherwise they will continue to die. "We need to stop these things happening. It beggars belief to me that it is still so endemic." The report said the NHS was fallible and must acknowledge and learn from mistakes. "When a loved one dies in care, knowing how and why they died is the very least a family should be able to expect," it said. The CQC's review looked at NHS trusts in England providing acute, community and mental health services, placing a particular focus on people with mental health conditions and learning disabilities. It considered evidence from interviews with more than 100 families, visits to a sample of 12 NHS trusts and a national survey of all eligible NHS providers. The CQC's Dr George Julian said: "We must learn from these families. Their trust, honesty and candour are an example to us all. "We owe it to them, their loved ones and to ourselves to stop talking about learning lessons, to move beyond writing action plans and to actually make change happen." The Health Secretary is expected to respond to the report in the Commons later on Tuesday, when he is likely to announce a requirement for trusts to collect and record information on unexpected deaths so lessons can be learned. Mr Hunt is expected to say trusts should regularly publish this information so the public can see if progress is being made. He is also expected to ask trusts to make a particular priority of data on outcomes for patients with learning disabilities. In addition, Health Education England is expected to have to review its training of medical staff on dealing with patients and families after a tragedy. Prof Dame Sue Bailey, chair of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, said: "This landmark review reveals in stark detail what many in healthcare have suspected for a long time. "Put simply, we have consistently failed and continue to fail too many of the families of those who die whilst in our care. "This is not about blaming individuals, but about the health service learning the lessons from this report." Julie Mellor, of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, which investigates complaints about poor care, said the report provided "a golden opportunity" for NHS leaders to learn from mistakes and encourage an open, honest working environment where NHS staff do not fear reprisals. The PHSO upheld 338 complaints into avoidable deaths in 2016, up from 2015 's figure of 306. Untreated, the condition can increase the risk of a stillbirth and other complications. Most screening takes place at 28 weeks, but a University of Cambridge study of 4,069 women showed the foetus was already affected by then. Charities said gestational diabetes was involved in a "significant number" of potentially avoidable stillbirths. Gestational diabetes is common and affects up to 18 in every 100 pregnancies. The extra sugar in the bloodstream acts as "baby fuel" leading to rapid growth inside the womb. Most babies are normal and healthy but the condition increases the likelihood of a large baby, which can be difficult to deliver, suffering bone fractures. The babies can also be at higher risks of obesity and diabetes later in life. The study, published in the journal Diabetes Care, showed excessive foetal growth had already started by the usual time of screening. Women testing positive for gestational diabetes at that 28-week stage were twice as likely as other mothers to have an abnormally large foetus. Mothers who were obese as well as having gestational diabetes had five times the risk of a large foetus. Prof Gordon Smith, one of the researchers, told the BBC News website: "The recommendations are that screening should take place at some point between 24 and 28 weeks, but in practice a lot screen at 28 weeks. "Our findings indicate that it should be brought forward to 24 weeks and that would still be consistent with existing guidelines. "And we should possibly be doing a second, earlier, screening test for early onset of the disease - but that needs further research." There were no signs of large babies at 20 weeks. Dr Daghni Rajasingam, from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said: "This study emphasises the importance of early detection and diagnosis. "There is growing awareness for the need to screen earlier, but further research should assess the ideal timing of screening and the impact this has on the child's health. "It is important to emphasise that immediate changes to lifestyle, including a healthy diet and moderate levels of exercise, can have significantly positive effects on a woman and her baby's health." Janet Scott, from the stillbirth charity Sands, said: "We know from recent enquiries that failure to screen for gestational diabetes currently plays a part in a significant number of potentially avoidable stillbirths at term. "Good risk assessment is crucial to avoiding harm to mothers and babies and we welcome these important findings which have real potential to inform better antenatal care for these high-risk pregnancies."

His sentence was extended in 2014 when he pleaded guilty to two counts of indecently assaulting a teenage girl. Hall previously worked for BBC Radio 5 live and presented the regional news programme North West Tonight. He was initially sentenced to 30 months, but received an additional two years and six months over the later charges. The Ministry of Justice said: "Offenders automatically released on licence at the halfway point of their sentence are subject to strict controls. "If they fail to comply with these conditions or their behaviour indicates it is no longer safe for them to remain in the community, they can be immediately returned to prison." Three boys and a girl allegedly attacked the plain clothes officer in an alleyway near The Bow Bells pub in Bow on Tuesday night. The officer, in his 40s, suffered three stab wounds and remains in hospital. A 17-year-old held on suspicion of attempted murder has been released on police bail. A knife has been recovered from the scene. Scotland Yard said the stabbing was not being treated as terrorist related. The Met said the group, all believed to be in their late teens, may not have been aware the victim was a police officer. The teens may also have been involved in another incident outside Devons Road Docklands Light Railway Station, where a motorist was threatened with a knife, the Met said. The stabbed man, who was with the Met's specialist crime and operations unit, was one of four Met officers injured in separate attacks on Tuesday, BBC London has learned. One police officer sustained a broken hand and another was punched in the face in different incidents in Lambeth. Another officer was attacked with a needle in Croydon, south London. On Tuesday, the Met revealed two officers were attacked by a mob of around 30 schoolchildren in New Cross a fortnight ago. One of them was punched in the face several times then kicked in the head repeatedly after he tried to search a boy suspected of concealing a knife. The man, believed to be Syrian, died after being found on the roof of a freight train at the Channel Tunnel. He is the 10th person to die in or near the tunnel while trying to reach Britain since late June. In recent weeks new security measures introduced at the tunnel entrance have led to a fall in intrusion attempts. Eurotunnel Le Shuttle's passenger service is operating with some timetable disruption and a waiting time of about 30 minutes in the terminal on its Dover to Calais route. BBC Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield said the young man had got through the fences surrounding the terminal, and climbed onto one of the shuttles that carry lorries through the tunnel, where the authorities say he was electrocuted, presumably by overhead power lines. Eurotunnel confirmed that a freight train was stopped at about 22:20 on Thursday because of the presence of migrants on the tracks. When the train was searched, a number of migrants were found on board, with one unconscious and one injured, the company said in a statement. They were immediately taken into care by the emergency services. The authorities later confirmed the death of one of the migrants. "This sad incident shows once again that any attempt to travel illegally through the Channel Tunnel is fraught with danger," Eurotunnel said. Hundreds of migrants are still camped in and near Calais in the hope of crossing the Channel, he said. Eurotunnel has said that migrants are making about 150 attempts to get into the terminal each night, down from a high of about 2,000 earlier in the year. The 30-year-old Australian, who won the title with Ducati in 2007, will begin his new role next year. Stoner left Ducati in 2011 to join Honda, winning a second title in his debut season, and testing for them since retiring in 2012. "The opportunity to work with Ducati again is something very special," said Stoner in a Ducati statement. "It's been a great journey with HRC over the last five years. Winning the World Championship in 2011 was obviously a high point and I've made many friends and formed lasting relationships along the way. "The Ducati brand and the Ducati fans have been such a big part of my career and my life, so it will be really great to reunite the relationship and start another chapter with this iconic brand." The Report on Jobs, produced monthly by IHS Markit, collects data from 400 UK recruitment and employment firms. Its data suggests permanent placements in July fell at the sharpest rate since May 2009, with participants citing uncertainty caused by Brexit. The results also indicated that some clients of recruitment firms had shifted towards using short-term staff. "The UK jobs market suffered a dramatic freefall in July, with permanent hiring dropping to levels not seen since the recession of 2009," said Kevin Green, the chief executive of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), which sponsors the survey. However, Mr Green said it was important not to jump to conclusions from one month's data. "The truth is we don't know what long term consequences the referendum result will have on UK jobs. With the political situation becoming more stable and the Bank of England making sensible decisions, we may well see confidence return to the jobs market more quickly than anticipated," he said. Of the recruitment consultants polled, nearly 38% said they had placed fewer people in permanent positions in July, an increase from 32% in June. Despite this, the survey found that demand for employees was high in many sectors and starting salaries for both permanent and temporary staff increased in July. Nursing and medical care was the most in-demand category for permanent staff during July. Construction workers saw a decline in demand for their services. "Demand for staff remains strong with vacancies continuing to rise, but the sharp fall in placements suggests that businesses are highly cautious about committing to new hires," said Mr Green. "Economic turbulence following the vote to leave the EU is undoubtedly the root cause." The survey comes a day after Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, said unemployment in the UK was expected to rise to 5.5% over the next two years. It is currently 4.9%. Redwell brewery, which employs just eight people in Norwich, has been told by the firm its name could "confuse" customers and "tarnish" its trademark. Company owner Patrick Fisher said he was "shocked" by Red Bull's letter and has sought legal advice. Red Bull said it would not comment on a pending case. Mr Fisher said the brewery started up earlier this year and problems began days after it went to trademark its brand, which is named after Redwell Street in Norwich city centre. "We were just shocked. It's been like a dark cloud hanging over us," he said. "Our name is different, our branding is different. We don't make energy drinks and we're not planning to move into Formula One or send a man skydiving from space very soon." A letter from Hansjorg Jeserznik, Red Bull's brand enforcement manager, said the brewery's mark was "highly similar" to Red Bull's earlier trademark of RED and its application covered goods in the same marketplace in which it was competing. In addition, it said Redwell and Red Bull looked and sounded similar and it was "likely" that customers would perceive the brewery's drinks as an "imitation". Mr Fisher said the brewery, which makes about 5,000 pints of lager and ale every week, had been given until the end of August to come to a resolution. He said: "It's just very sad. We've had a successful launch of the brewery and we just don't know what sort of clout they've got. "But our solicitors have told us we are in a strong position and we hope to reach a settlement." Thousands of protesters marched on a central square in the city calling for changes to the electoral system. They believe the current arrangements will benefit Prime Minister Najib Razak's long-ruling coalition in forthcoming elections. The rally is one of the largest in the country in the past decade. A police spokesman estimated there were about 25,000 demonstrators at the protest, but some Malaysian news organisations put the numbers as high as 80,000. Police had sealed off the city's historic Merdeka (Independence) Square with barbed wire and barricades and began firing tear gas when these were breached by the demonstrators. At least 20 people were reported to have been detained by the authorities. The demonstration was organised by an opposition-backed reform group, Bersih. Police said the group had no right to use the symbolically important square. Malaysia's parliament approved a series of electoral reform measures this month, but activists say these do not address the main issue of electoral fraud which they maintain has kept the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition in power since independence. Activists have alleged that the Election Commission is biased and that voter registration lists are tainted with fraudulent voters. "I'm here because I'm a Malaysian and I love my country," one protester, information technology manager Burrd Lim said. "There's no election that's perfect, but I want one that's fair enough."

Asylum seekers in Middlesbrough told The Times eggs and stones had been thrown at their houses because the doors made them easy to identify. The immigration minister said he was "deeply concerned" about the issue. G4S said there was no policy to house asylum seekers behind red doors but its subcontractor would be repainting them. The Times visited 168 houses in Middlesbrough owned by Jomast, a sub contractor for the global security firm G4S, and found 155 had red doors. Is Middlesbrough the UK's Germany? BBC correspondent Andy Moore said it was thought the door colour may have been a convenient way for the company to identify its properties. Former local councillor Suzanne Fletcher told the BBC's Today programme she had raised the issue with G4S as far back as 2012 but was told the company would not ask Jomast to repaint the doors. She went on to submit evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee, Public Accounts Committee and National Audit Office. She said: "Over four years ago when I was working with groups of asylum seekers, they were worried it marked them out and were worried about attacks." The charity Refugee Council said it "has long held concerns about the quality and security of asylum accommodation". It added: "The government must not tolerate its contractors taking a lax attitude towards housing these vulnerable people. Such an approach is clearly jeopardising their safety." G4S said Jomast had no policy to house asylum seekers behind red doors but accepted the majority of doors, both for private and asylum accommodation, were painted red. Immigration minister James Brokenshire said he had commissioned an urgent Home Office audit of asylum seeker housing in the North East. He said: "I expect the highest standards from our contractors. If we find any evidence of discrimination against asylum seekers it will be dealt with immediately as any such behaviour will not be tolerated." G4S said in a statement: "Although we have received no complaints or requests on this issue from asylum seekers we house, in light of the concerns raised Jomast has agreed to address the issue by repainting front doors in the area so that there is no predominant colour. "Our asylum accommodation is inspected frequently by the Home Office and has been found to meet the required standards."

The front doors of houses used by asylum seekers are to be repainted, after claims they were targeted because nearly all of the doors were red.

The woman died after the car she was travelling in went into a ditch at Dreenan, Ballybofey, at about 04:25 BST. She was originally from the Ballybofey area. The driver, a 19-year-old man, has been taken to hospital where he is being treated for minor injuries. The road has been closed while forensic officers carry out an investigation. The police have appealed for witnesses.

Five scores came in a frenetic first half as Tommy Taylor, Elliot Daly, Jake Cooper-Woolley, Matt Symons and Christian Wade all touched down. Ashley Johnson bagged a brace after the break, while Danny Cipriani went over to add to Wade and Daly tries. Bristol improved and got three second-half scores, with Jack Lam, Mitch Eadie and Gaston Cortes all going over. Cipriani's try was his first since re-joining Wasps from Sale this summer, the England international running in from 50 metres as the Coventry-based side moved to third in the Premiership table, behind leaders Bath and champions Saracens on points difference only. Dai Young's side needed to win by a 56-point margin to go top of the Premiership, but have won their first three league games for the first time since 2009-10 to keep pace with the top two. Victory extends their winning run at the Ricoh Arena to 11 matches, stretching back to December 2015. For Andy Robinson's Bristol it was a third successive defeat following their promotion to the top flight and they remain bottom, although they finished the game just a try away from a bonus point. Wasps director of rugby Dai Young: "I would have settled for that before the game began, and 14 out of 15 points is a real good start for us. "The test was to keep our focus and I'm pleased that we did as we had a bonus point in the bag by half-time. "We haven't produced an 80-minute performance or a perfect performance as we got a bit messy at times today." Bristol director of rugby Andy Robinson: "We can't afford to make as many errors as we do. Premiership sides are very efficient. "You need to look after the ball a lot better and we made a number of disappointing decisions defensively, as we gave them too much space on the outside. "We know we are going to get days like this but if we work hard, we'll be able to turn it round as our endeavour to get a bonus point was good." Wasps: Miller; Wade, Daly, Gopperth, Halai; Cipriani, Simpson; McIntyre, Taylor, Cooper-Woolley, Symons, Gaskell (capt), Rieder, Young, Thompson. Replacements: Johnson, Mullan, Swainston, Myall, Hughes, Hampson, Eastmond, Bassett. Bristol: Williams; Edwards, Hurrell, Palamo, Varndell; Pisi, Cliff; Bevington, McMillan, Perenise, Evans, Joyce, Lam (capt), Robinson, Eadie. Replacements: Brooker, Tonga'uiha, Cortes, Phillips, Crane, Roberts, Jarvis, Mosses. Referee: Tim Wigglesworth. Attendance: 12,280. Play was delayed until mid-afternoon and Derbyshire began steadily before Hamish Rutherford (68) was dismissed. Wayne Madsen fell lbw shortly after to Graham Napier (1-59). Opener Chesney Hughes however (66 not out) remained firm, thrashing spinner Dan Lawrence for six, before both sides shook hands for the draw with Derbyshire on 261-4. The result keeps Essex top of the Divison Two table, 18 points ahead of second-placed Kent. The Scottish Football Association said the Old Firm derby will have a 12:00 GMT kick-off at the national stadium. Dundee United will take on either Hibernian or holders Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the other semi-final on Saturday 16 April at 12:15. BBC Scotland will broadcast live television coverage of the second tie, also being played at Hampden. Caley Thistle will host Hibs in their replay on 16 March following a 1-1 draw at Easter Road. Meanwhile, Hibs or United could face three of their biggest-ever fixtures within a week, should either reach the Scottish Cup final and be involved in the Premiership play-offs. United are currently bottom of the top flight, while Hibs are third in the Championship, with the second bottom Premiership side destined to play the final against the winner of a series of play-offs from the division below The dates for the final will be changed should they feature a team in the cup final. If that applies to either Hibs or Dundee United, the first leg of the play-off would be played on Tuesday 17 May, with the second leg on the 25th, four days after the Scottish Cup final. There is a scenario where Rangers could be involved in this too, although it seems unlikely they will surrender a 12-point lead at the top of the Championship and be forced into a play-off. Media playback is not supported on this device Here BBC Sport explains exactly what the Foxes must do to defy the odds once again. It has regularly been suggested that Leicester have focused on the Champions League at the expense of their Premier League campaign, but they will be hard pushed to match the motivation of an Atletico team who have more reason than anyone to chase success on the European stage. Losing two finals in three years was extremely hard for Atletico to take, especially as both were against bitter rivals Real Madrid and could have very easily yielded a different outcome: the 2014 final was decided in extra time after Real equalised deep in stoppage time, and last season's went to a penalty shootout. Manager Diego Simeone came close to leaving the club after the agony of last year's loss, admitting he did not know whether he would be able to muster the energy and passion to recover from such soul-destroying disappointment. But, after a summer he has since described as "mourning", he elected to stay, and the Argentine is looking more intense than ever in his fierce pursuit of the only trophy he has not won since rejoining a club he had previously played for. Although they have never explicitly stated it, there is a strong sense Atletico have collectively prioritised the Champions League this season, focusing their considerable energies on giving themselves another opportunity to secure the trophy that has so cruelly eluded them in recent years. Defender Juanfran, whose penalty shootout miss gave Real the trophy last season, has expressed his belief that skipper Gabi will lift the trophy with a sense of sheer certainty that goes way beyond the optimism usually exuded by players. Atletico do not merely think they can win the trophy; they appear to know they will. This time they are determined to leave nothing to chance, and Leicester's task in overcoming that furiously purposeful intent cannot be overestimated. By far Atletico's likeliest match-winner is striker Antoine Griezmann, who has made stunning progress since joining the club from Real Sociedad in 2014 and now surely deserves to be regarded as one of the very best players in the world. Thanks to his rapid development under Simeone, the 26-year-old is the complete package. He is versatile, capable of playing through the middle or on either flank. He is fast, skilful, decent in the air, a good passer, possesses a velvet-smooth first touch and intelligent movement. In short, he does everything well and some things superbly. Those qualities have helped Griezmann score 23 goals in all competitions this season, including four in the Champions League and a late leveller in Saturday's morale-boosting Madrid derby draw at the Bernabeu. But the importance of the Frenchman's contribution cannot be measured by statistics alone, because his team-first mentality and relentless work-rate make him an ideal fit for this Atletico side, and his elusiveness will make life very uncomfortable for a Foxes backline missing skipper Wes Morgan. The silver lining for the English team, however, is that Griezmann's preferred strike partner and fellow Frenchman Kevin Gameiro looks likely to miss at least the first leg with a hamstring strain. Gameiro was initially slow to settle after joining Atletico from Sevilla last summer, but he has improved since the turn of the year and produced his best performance yet to torment Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the last-16 tie. He was injured during the recent international break and will probably be replaced by old warhorse Fernando Torres, who is still hard-working but far more limited than Gameiro, and increasingly inaccurate, with just seven goals this season and none in his past six outings. Leicester's task at the other end of the field is no more straightforward, because they somehow have to breach an Atletico defence which is arguably the best in the world - especially when it really matters. If you think that's an exaggeration, how about this for a statistic: Atletico have not conceded a single goal in their past eight home knockout ties. The last visiting player to score at the Vicente Calderon in a tie in the last 16 or later was Kaka in AC Milan's 4-1 loss in March 2014, and Leicester's challenge is to succeed where Chelsea, Barcelona (twice), Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have all failed. In addition to the brilliant collective discipline and organisation instilled by Simeone, two players are chiefly responsible for Atletico's defensive excellence. Firstly, there's Uruguayan central defender Diego Godin, an old-fashioned, hard-nosed stopper who sometimes appears to enjoy conceding throw-ins and corners because it gives him the chance to make yet another clearance. And the second star of the backline is Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak, recruited from Benfica in the summer of 2014 with the significant task of filling the gloves of Thibaut Courtois. He has more than answered that call to become one of the game's top keepers, equalling an all-time La Liga record last season by conceding just 18 goals in 38 league outings. Craig Shakespeare has certainly made an impressive start to his managerial career, but the Foxes boss faces by far his biggest challenge as he confronts the fearsome Simeone. The ex-Argentina midfielder has won almost everything there is to win since taking over at Atletico in late 2011, and he has done it by giving his team a clear vision of how they should play. Simeone is able to maximise his team's strengths and minimise their weaknesses by combining motivation with organisation, creating a true team structure where every player pulls in the same direction and has a clear understanding of their precise role. Tactically, he generally prefers a 4-4-2 formation but also regularly employs a 4-3-3 or a 4-5-1. He is similarly versatile in his style of play, with Atletico equally capable of pushing high up the pitch and dominating possession, or sitting deep and waiting to strike on the counter-attack. Whichever approach he takes, Simeone is a master at achieving balance. The 10 outfield players move together like clockwork, hardly ever allowing themselves to become stretched or shapeless, and always ensuring every player is supported rather than isolated both with and without the ball. The Argentine has summed up his tactical beliefs by stating that, whereas other coaches like to control the ball, he attempts to control the space. He has been implementing that deep-thinking philosophy with great success at Atletico for more than five years and, for an opposing manager with just seven games and one Champions League match to his name, confronting Simeone's meticulously prepared team will present a major test. Griezmann might be the star while Oblak and Godin form the immovable barrier, but the motor of Atletico's machine is their midfield trio of Gabi, Koke and Saul. Lion-hearted captain Gabi and understated playmaker Koke, in particular, have been key elements of Simeone's masterplan ever since he took over, with the duo barely missing a game during the past five years and providing the perfect link between defence and attack. Saul is the most individually gifted player of the three, with his goals against Bayern Munich in last season's semi-final and Bayer Leverkusen in February among the finest individual efforts the competition has seen in recent years. From a tactical perspective, the fact Simeone's midfield trio occupy very narrow positions is important, allowing them to protect the penalty area in defence and create space for full-backs Juanfran and Filipe Luis to come forward in attack. More generally, their defensive diligence and unselfish willingness to do the dirty work without complaint allows them to epitomise the qualities Simeone demands from his team. Their vast experience also speaks volumes about the scale of the task awaiting Leicester, with Gabi, Koke and Saul making a combined total of nearly 150 appearances in continental competitions under Simeone, during which time they have won five different trophies. That statistic makes it abundantly clear just how strong Atletico are. They have been here many times before, they know exactly how they want to play, and they know exactly how they can win… against any opposition. The question now is whether Leicester can do anything to stop them. Heavily armed officers arrived at an apartment building on Monday after reports of an explosion and found one man already dead in the foyer. Another man, Yacqub Khayre, was armed with a shotgun and holding a woman inside the building against her will. Khayre, 29, called a broadcaster during the siege to say he was acting in the name of the Islamic State (IS) group. A news outlet for the group claimed it had carried out the attack, but police said there was no evidence of it co-ordinating with Khayre. Three police officers suffered injuries after Khayre engaged them in a firefight in which he was shot dead. The hostage was rescued unharmed. Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said the victim who died, a building employee, was "in the wrong place at the wrong time". Authorities were investigating whether Khayre, a Somali-born Australian citizen, may have lured officers to the wealthy suburb of Brighton with the aim of confronting them. Mr Ashton said comments Khayre made referencing IS and al-Qaeda had prompted the terrorism investigation. "We do not yet know if this was something he was really planning or whether it was just an ad hoc decision that he has made just to go off tap like this," Mr Ashton said. "They (IS) always tend to jump up and claim responsibility every time something happens," Mr Ashton said. He said Khayre had been acquitted over a foiled plot to attack a Sydney army barracks in 2009. He had "a long criminal history" and was on parole after being released from jail on a separate offence last year, Mr Ashton said. The gunman had arranged to meet the woman through an escort service before taking her hostage, he said. Neighbours and people in the area described hearing loud gunfire at the scene. "Everyone just panicked," one witness, Luke Fourniotis, told the Herald Sun. "I started running but I didn't know where the shots were coming from so I had this thought: 'Are they shooting at us?' My heart was in my throat." Nearby resident Graeme Hisgrove said heavily armed police officers went through his backyard during the operation. "We were just in the front room of the house and all the rapid fire started, so we all hit the deck on the floor and just didn't know what was going on," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. On Tuesday, police raided a house reportedly shared by Khayre and his mother, seizing computers, other electronic devices and books. Prime Minster Malcolm Turnbull said the case raised "grave concerns" about the parole system which he said would be addressed. "How was this man on parole? He had a long record of violence. A very long record of violence," Mr Turnbull said. "These are important issues and Australians need to be assured that people who are a threat to their safety are not being released on parole." Mr Turnbull said Australia's official terror threat level would remain at "probable". Last month, an Australian coroner criticised a decision which allowed bail to a gunman behind Sydney's deadly cafe siege in 2014. It is investing the money at Code Serve in Brynmawr, Blaenau Gwent, Dyfed Steels in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Express Reinforcements in Neath and Celsa Steel in Cardiff. The businesses are also investing £8.75m in new facilities, new equipment and expansion projects. The money is also being used for environmental improvements. The 27-year-old will join with a further one-year option when the international transfer window opens next month. The former Lazio forward scored four goals while on loan for Birmingham in the Premier League in 2008. He said: "I hope I will bring goals to the squad. I will also bring dribbling skills and other attacking qualities." Zarate was top scorer in Argentina last season with 20 goals in 35 matches in all competitions. However, this second stint at Velez Sarsfield followed a controversial four-year spell at Lazio. In 2010, while serving a two-match suspension at the Biancocelesti for insulting a referee, he was photographed giving a fascist salute amid the 'Ultras' section of fans. Zarate's spokesperson later claimed the player was unaware of the significance of his actions. In April last year, Zarate was spotted on holiday in the Maldives when he was supposed to be in Argentina receiving medical treatment. At the time, he was not training with Lazio's first team because of disciplinary issues. The seven month old continental giant rabbit is being looked after at a rescue centre in Scotland. He's already the size of a small dog but because he's still young he could grow even bigger. Scottish SPCA centre manager Anna O'Donnell said "He is a very friendly rabbit who loves attention and getting cuddles." Source: Pets4Homes "Atlas is also an inquisitive boy who makes everyone laugh with his mischievous character." The charity says the new owner will have to have experience of looking after this type of rabbit and lots of space so he can run around. Mrs Foster's comments follow the use of CS spray at a junior Orange Order parade and masked republicans marching during Easter Rising centenary events. Earlier, the Police Federation urged politicians to "stop using officers as a political football". Mrs Foster said the PSNI need to get to the bottom of issues "causing concern" but had a "very difficult job to do". She added that "it would be wrong if we weren't able to ask questions of our police service". "In return they answer those questions and indeed they are monitored by the [police] ombudsman so I don't think that there is a two-tier policing system, but I think there are concerns out there," she said. Mrs Foster said it was important to "establish the facts" around the parade on the Ormeau Road in south Belfast on Tuesday. "I know there have been a number of people who have been making their own assessments of what happened, but I think it's important that we have independence in and around the fact finding process and I understand the ombudsman is now involved in this matter. " The Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said the CS spray incident was a "source of concern". "I saw some of the footage on TV last night and I have to say that I was concerned that a child was affected by CS spray. That has to be a source of concern," he said. Ch Supt Chris Noble said police had used CS spray during the junior Orange Order parade after coming under attack by adult band members. The parade's organiser, Noel Liggett, claimed the spray was "indiscriminately" used after police confronted the parade. Mr Liggett said the spray caused children to have swollen eyes and lips. The police said two officers received minor injuries during a "minor disturbance". A 26-year-old man has been charged with assault. The chairman of the Police Federation for Northern Ireland (PFNI) Mark Lindsay, said politicians who did not witness Tuesday's parade "should desist from making inflammatory comments". He said politicians should "take a more measured, objective position". "Officers deserve to be supported, not condemned for the demanding and dangerous job that they do," Mr Lindsay added. "Politicians who did not witness what happened should desist from making inflammatory comments and instead take a more measured, objective position. "Stand back and take a long, hard look at what you're saying, as your words can stir up community tensions and lead to street disorder, which we can do well without in the run-up to an assembly election." The PFNI represents rank and file officers in Northern Ireland. Police are investigating three parades commemorating the 1916 Easter Rising in Lurgan, County Armagh; Coalisland, County Tyrone and Ardoyne in Belfast. Unionists complained after masked men paraded through Lurgan on Saturday and marchers wore paramilitary-style uniform in Coalisland on Sunday. "Unfortunately yet again we had masked men on the streets of Northern Ireland," Mrs Foster said "They used the Easter 1916 occasion to bring out those people. "The time is long gone when we should be seeing those sorts of images in Northern Ireland and I want those people dealt with and I hope that the police in relation to their evidence gathering have plenty of evidence and they can move forward on that." The former Sunderland player denied four charges against him before admitting two of the offences on the first day of his trial. Prosecutor Kate Blackwell QC accused him of "playing a game" with the court. The 28-year-old denies two further counts of sexual activity with a child. Mr Johnson was sacked by Sunderland after admitting the grooming and kissing offences, on 10 February. Having been charged in April last year, Miss Blackwell suggested the winger's delay in recording a guilty plea furthered the girl's pain. After being asked why he had not done so at an earlier hearing, Mr Johnson told the court: "It's the advice I was given at the time and I went along with that." In cross-examination, Mr Johnson said he did not think of himself as an honourable man. He agreed he was arrogant and audacious and "lived the life of a celebrity". The court heard he messaged the girl to say she "owed" him for signing a Sunderland shirt for her. Miss Blackwell said: "You weren't suggesting that she owes you money, were you? You were suggesting that she owed you a favour. A sexual favour." The prosecutor claimed Mr Johnson encouraged the girl to meet him for a "thank you kiss" in the hope it would encourage her to engage in sexual activity. The star admitted he wanted to touch "private parts" of the girl's body but said the pair did nothing more than kiss. When asked why, he said: "Because when I had my kiss I knew that it was wrong and I didn't want it to carry on any further." The jury had earlier heard Mr Johnson's world was "turned upside down" when he was arrested. Giving evidence, he said he "panicked" and was "in turmoil" during his police interview in March 2015. The trial has heard the pair exchanged telephone numbers and messages for a number of weeks before meeting in January 2015. He described how WhatsApp messages became "flirty" and "inappropriate" before a second meeting on 30 January. Mr Johnson admitted he did not always answer some police questions entirely truthfully. He said: "My world had got turned upside down and I was trying to play it down as much as I could." When asked by Orlando Pownall QC, defending, about what state he was in during his first interview, Mr Johnson said: "I was panicking. I had all these thoughts going through my mind about everything. To name a couple, my career, my family, I was in turmoil." The player said he was "surprised" the teenage girl had told police that further sexual activity had taken place. He said: "I couldn't believe the things she was saying to police. I felt like someone else was telling her to say these things." Mr Johnson told the court he did not try to feel her breasts or put his hands underneath her t-shirt. Born in Sunderland, Mr Johnson began his career at Middlesbrough before moving to Manchester City and then on to Sunderland for £10m in 2012. The trial continues. But Mr Vazquez, the candidate of President Jose Mujica's party, fell short of an outright majority. He will face Luis Lacalle Pou of the right-wing National Party, in a run-off election on 30 November. President Mujica is barred by the constitution from running for a second consecutive term. With most of the votes counted, Mr Vazquez had won over 46% of the vote. Mr Lacalle Pou trailed behind with over 30%, but he swiftly secured the endorsement of the third placed candidate Pedro Bordaberry, of the conservative Colorado Party. Uruguay's outgoing president, Jose Mujica, told Gerardo Lissardy of BBC Mundo that he was confident his party would continue leading the country. However, he said that the election of Mr Vazquez would not necessarily mean there would be no change in policy. "Every government is unique," he said."Probably a new government with Tabare would have the advantage of experience, from his previous period in power. Remember the presidency is not a profession, nor is it training. It's simply how you perform." Tabare Vazquez served as president of Uruguay in 2005-2010 and remains one of the most popular politicians in Latin America. BBC correspondent Ignacio de los Reyes says the presidential run-off is expected to be tight. Mr Vazquez's young contender, Luis Lacalle Pou, is the son of a former president and has become a rising political star in recent months. Both candidates have promised to keep social spending high and boost the economy. Mr Mujica remains popular after leading Uruguay through a period of economic growth and wage rises, but he is barred by the constitution from running for a second consecutive term. His government was behind social reforms such as the legalisation of marijuana, abortion and gay marriage. But critics say it has failed to deal with problems in education, security and the environment. Uruguayans were voting for their choice of president, vice-president and members of parliament at the same time. The Broad Front retained its majority in the senate and the chamber of deputies. They were also voting in a controversial referendum on whether to lower the age at which a person can be criminally charged as an adult from 18 to 16. The proposal did not get more than the 50% vote it needed to be approved. Are you in Uruguay? What is your reaction to the early voting figures?

Amnesty International called the verdict "outrageous" and urged the authorities to quash the verdict. Mr Badawi, the co-founder of a website called the Liberal Saudi Network, was arrested in 2012. A Saudi newspaper close to the government reported that he had lost his appeal against an earlier, more lenient sentence of seven years and three months in jail and 600 lashes. Last year he was cleared of apostasy, which could have carried a death sentence. Mr Badawi had previously called for 7 May to be a "day for Saudi liberals". The website he set up has since been closed. Amnesty International describes him as a "prisoner of conscience" and has called for his release. "Raif Badawi is the latest victim to fall prey to the ruthless campaign to silence peaceful activists in Saudi Arabia," it said in a statement. Last October a Saudi journalist was freed after spending a year and a half in prison for writing insulting tweets about the Prophet Muhammad. Hamza Kashgari fled Saudi Arabia for Malaysia in 2012 but was extradited just days later. He was released last year after making a public apology. Baroness Hilary Armstrong told the BBC Mr Corbyn was "the greatest rebel ever" as a backbencher but Mr Blair was reluctant to discipline him. She said the then prime minister felt that Labour was "a broad church". Amid claims Mr Corbyn's opponents could be forced out, Baroness Armstrong said he needed to show he is "tolerant". Speaking to BBC Radio 4's The Westminster Hour, Baroness Armstrong said she was pleased the Labour party chairman Ian Lavery had said de-selection was not the way forward. But she added: "I know MPs where basically there is a process of harassment, where at every meeting they are criticised, they are challenged, they are told that they don't represent the people in the room. "And all this is meant to do is grind them down, is wear them down, and get them to believe they shouldn't be in the Labour party any more." She said "sectarianism" was "ruling" in some areas. Baroness Armstrong added: "Jeremy has the opportunity over the summer and at party conference to make it absolutely clear that he is not going to lead a narrow sectarian faction, he's going to lead a broad church that is tolerant. "And the real test for Jeremy is, is he up to it?" Mr Corbyn voted against his own government more than 500 times and Baroness Armstrong said at the time there was upset among party members in his Islington North constituency, "I had a couple of folk from Jeremy's constituency come to see me and say 'People are a bit upset with Jeremy always being against the Labour government, what if we try to de-select him?'". She advised them they would not be supported by the leadership. Baroness Armstrong said: "The prime minister was very clear about that when Jeremy was a backbench MP. And he was right, we shouldn't have worked to de-select him. "But I hope that Jeremy will now reflect on that and I hope that he will be absolutely determined to make sure it doesn't happen under his watch."

So who better to give BBC Sport the lowdown on the semi-final line up in 2017? Media playback is not supported on this device "Hull are a physical presence in the three-quarters and the forwards, and have Gareth Ellis returning. "It was a long time before they had success of winning at Wembley, and there's an element with them that they enjoyed it so much in 2016 they will want to get back there this year. "Their success depends on Marc Sneyd. He's got to really be at the races and on top form for them to have success. "Ellis is important not just on the field but off it too. He's a leader by deed not by word. It shows how important it is to them and obviously in their last game he was instrumental. He's absolutely vital for them. Media playback is not supported on this device "Leeds are very close to the standards they have previously set. The fact they're second in the Super League table tells you how close they are to replicating their previous trophy success. They'll fancy themselves for the Challenge Cup and the Super League Grand Final. "We know they can play fast exciting rugby league with great support through people like Kallum Watkins, meaning they can score from anywhere, but they can nail down highly professional performances that are required for knockout games. "They base a lot of their cup games on their kicking strategy which, under Kevin Sinfield, was magnificent, but [Rhinos halves] Danny McGuire and Joel Moon demonstrate clever kicking as well. They will know how to win the game." "Each is the organiser of their team. They direct them to the right points of the field and most importantly the kicking game in knockout games is immense. Whoever completes sets and kicks best to build pressure will be the team that succeeds. "I'm going with Hull FC as there's an emotional attachment. I just think they might well nick it." Media playback is not supported on this device "Wigan are dangerous, they're getting quality key players back. Sam Tomkins is getting better each week, Joel Tomkins and Liam Farrell are coming back into the back row, hooker Michael McIlorum is getting up to speed, and prop Tony Clubb similarly. "Key players are getting games under their belts. Those players know what it means to themselves and the club to do well. They'll be aware of the expectations and traditions at Wigan. "Crucially, they have the experience. Sean O'Loughlin has been there, seen it and done - he has 20 T-shirts! I'm fully expecting a high-quality Wigan performance. Media playback is not supported on this device "Salford are fourth in Super League and in the Challenge Cup semi-finals - a true reflection of where they are, they've earned the right to be there. "They'll be disappointed with their last few weeks' form and especially the performance against Leigh, where Ian Watson said it cost some players a jumper for the semi-final. "It's inevitable that it has been something of a distraction. Their last semi-final was 1998 and the last final back in 1969. But the day of the game will be the time when the distractions are out of the way and it's the job in hand. They may well come up with an outstanding performance and bag the trip to Wembley. "One question mark hangs over the possible absence of Robert Lui. Todd Carney can step up, he's a quality player. However, he hasn't played as regularly and the combinations aren't as slick when Michael Dobson and Lui play together. "Forwards lay platforms, three-quarters score points but it is the halves who direct. The kicking game is as important as possession. "Dobson will be important for Salford, so he needs to be on his game. The same goes for George Williams at Wigan, and it's down to the half-back to decide the success or otherwise in this game." "Wigan are going to come back with the spoils. It would be great for Salford, their owner Marwan Koukash and all the players and staff - they'd deserve it. But for me, Wigan should be short-price favourites."

The song is part of BBC Wales' Euro 2016 special 'C'mon Wales: Our Euro 2016 Singalong' which is on BBC Two Wales on Wednesday at 22:00 BST and online via BBC iPlayer Preparations are under way as Slovakia, England and Russia await in Group B, with a training base chosen in France and friendly matches arranged for March and June. One of the most important tasks facing manager Chris Coleman between now and Wales' opening game of the competition against Slovakia in Bordeaux on 11 June is to select his 23-man squad. Former Wales internationals Danny Gabbidon and Iwan Roberts join BBC Wales football correspondent Rob Phillips in choosing their teams for the Slovakia match, their 23-man squads and assess the choices facing Coleman and his coaches. Former Wales striker Iwan Roberts: (5-3-2) Hennessey; Gunter, Collins, A. Williams, Davies, Taylor; Ledley, Allen, Ramsey; Bale, Robson-Kanu. Former Wales defender Danny Gabbidon: (5-3-2) Hennessey; Gunter, Collins, A. Williams, Davies, Taylor; Allen, Ledley, Ramsey; Bale, J Williams. BBC Wales football correspondent Rob Phillips: (5-3-2) Hennessey; Gunter, Collins, A. Williams, Davies, Taylor; Allen, Ledley, Ramsey; Bale, Robson-Kanu. Roberts: "It's so important we have a strong backbone to the team in the likes of Wayne Hennesey, Ashley Williams, Joe Allen, Joe Ledley and Hal Robson-Kanu - the battling and hard work these players produce will give the likes of Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale a platform to go and show their class." Gabbidon: "There are three cogs in the Wales wheel. Captain Ashley Williams marshals the defence, Joe Ledley and Joe Allen give added protection and instigate the attacks, while Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey are the match-winners." Phillips: "Wales have x-factor in Gareth Bale, a player any other side in the finals would welcome. Ashley Williams, Wayne Hennessey and Aaron Ramsey need to be on form, too. Don't underestimate Joe Ledley - a midfielder who does the unheralded ugly stuff." Roberts: "I think the likes of Jonny and George Williams, two young and lively creative players, have done enough in the last two years to win a place in the squad. Young full-back Jazz Richards has performed admirably when called upon in four of the qualifiers - including the win over Belgium - and in my opinion should be on the plane to France." Gabbidon: "George Williams and Wolves midfielder Dave Edwards must be among those who will have to prove themselves after time on the sidelines because of injury." Phillips: "I tried hard to fit George Williams into the squad as searing pace is a must at international level. Birmingham attacker David Cotterill could still make it as he battles back from injury. Dave Edwards is included, but for reasons of injury may still be a 'maybe'." Roberts: "I don't think there will be many, if any, surprises in Chris' squad. I think it's too late for Regan Poole, Manchester United's newest debutant, to break in. The 17-year-old is definitely one for the future but but hasn't done nearly enough up to now to warrant a place in the squad. "Tom Bradshaw has had a decent season for Walsall but, with the emergence of Tom Lawrence and after his performance against the Netherlands in our last game, Lawrence deserves to go to the Euros." Gabbidon: "No outsiders can make the squad unless there are injuries. But if Chris Coleman is looking to give someone his 50th cap, I'm available gaffer!" Phillips: "It comes down to two for me. Begging the pardon of Walsall fans but, had Tom Bradshaw moved to a higher club in January, he might have clinched a place. A run of goals now might still clinch him a spot as a wildcard substitute if Wales need a goal. "Regan Poole's entry at Manchester United might have just come too late but I can't help thinking if Chris Coleman wanted to take one for the future - like England's Theo Walcott at the 2006 World Cup - Poole is the one." Police said he was 37-year-old Nicky Edwards. The incident happened at about 20:30 on Friday when a Citroen Xsara struck Mr Edwards on the westbound carriageway, between junctions 3 and 3A near Deans. The road was closed for about six hours. Police have appealed for witnesses. Sgt Scott Sneddon, of Police Scotland, said: "Inquiries are still ongoing and our sincere condolences go out to Nicky's family and friends. "We're appealing for anyone who saw the incident, or who may have seen a man in the vicinity of the Deans overbridge on the M8 shortly beforehand, to get in touch as soon as possible." Taylor scored just three minutes after Oxford had been reduced to 10 men for the last quarter of the game when Sam Long received a harsh second yellow card. Rovers took the lead in the 25th minute when Jermaine Easter was allowed space to move into Oxford's penalty area on the right before burying a sweetly struck right-footed shot inside the far post. But Oxford were level after 42 minutes. Ryan Taylor headed the ball into the path of Kane Hemmings, who moved forward to beat goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall with a low shot from 20 yards, the ball striking the inside of a post on its way in. Oxford then lost Long on 67 minutes for a high foot and the hosts quickly cashed in on their extra-man advantage. On as a substitute, last season's top scorer in the Football League buried a close-range effort on the turn after the U's had failed to clear a Luke James cross from the right. But Oxford should have equalised in injury time when substitute Tyler Roberts blazed over an open goal. Report supplied by the Press Association. Match ends, Bristol Rovers 2, Oxford United 1.

It comes after he was recorded talking to the Queen at Buckingham Palace. An Afghan official said "bold" action had already been taken while Nigeria's president said he would not be demanding an apology from the PM. Asked ahead of the anti-corruption conference in London if Nigeria was "fantastically corrupt", Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, who came to power last year on a promise to fight corruption, replied: "Yes." Mr Buhari said he was more interested in the return of stolen assets held in British banks, adding that corruption in Nigeria was endemic and his government was committed to fighting it. "What would I do with an apology? I need something tangible," Mr Buhari said, referring to efforts to recover the money. The Afghan embassy in London said tackling corruption was one of President Ghani's top priorities and "bold" action had been taken. "We have made important progress in fighting systematic capture in major national procurement contracts and are making progress on addressing institutional issues as well as issues related to impunity... therefore calling Afghanistan in that way is unfair." Mr Cameron's original comment about the two countries came while he was speaking at an event to mark the Queen's 90th birthday about hosting world and business leaders at this week's anti-corruption summit in London "We've got some leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain... Nigeria and Afghanistan, possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world," he was caught on camera saying. Mr Cameron was asked about his comments during Prime Minister's Questions, where he jokingly checked his microphone was working, referred to "tips on diplomacy" and said he had made "many unforced errors" in the past 24 hours. Answering a question from Tory backbencher Philip Davies - who asked why UK aid was being given to countries the PM sees as corrupt - he praised the action taken by Afghanistan and Nigeria and warned cutting off aid could "come back to haunt us here". He also defended action by his own government, including on overseas tax havens and measures to make sure "plundered money from African countries can't be hidden in London". In the footage showing Mr Cameron's comments, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby intervened to say: "But this particular president is not corrupt... he's trying very hard," before Speaker John Bercow said: "They are coming at their own expense, one assumes?" Earlier, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the PM had been "merely stating a fact" in his comments, and ex-London mayor Boris Johnson said people would "find it refreshing he was speaking his mind". In Transparency International's 2015 corruption perception index, Afghanistan was ranked at 167, ahead of only Somalia and North Korea, Nigeria was at 136. Transparency International said the success of Thursday's summit would be judged on whether concrete action was agreed on tackling tax evasion and secrecy in the wake of the Panama Papers disclosures, stopping tainted firms from bidding for public contracts and protecting whistleblowers who expose corruption. US Secretary of State John Kerry - who is representing the US at the summit - said the fight against corruption should be made a global priority "of the first order". "Today the cost of corruption globally is exploding, and it's exploding everywhere," he told the Oxford Union. "Despite recent progress, as a global community, we just are not doing nearly enough to eliminate this scourge - and that needs to change." Labour has suggested a Tory government "hosting an anti-corruption summit was like putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop". "The government is refusing to take meaningful action to close Britain's constellation of tax havens, which together constitute the largest financial secrecy network in the world," said shadow international development secretary Diane Abbott. And today's government retreat on English Votes for English Laws - it won't be put to the vote next week, and there'll be a two-day "taking the voices debate" on draft proposals, to be followed by a vote on final proposals in the Autumn - shows ministers in a tangle over both. First, the psychology. There have been a number of embarrassing parliamentary episodes in the last few months, each of which has done some damage; think of the last-day coup attempt against the Speaker in the last Parliament, or the non-vote on the European Arrest Warrant. Now ministers have been seen off (at least for the time being) in this Parliament, by a combination of all the opposition parties and backbench Tory rebels. As I wrote earlier, the rebels are driven by a cocktail of motives, including ensuring their continued ability to exert leverage over ministers, and they didn't blink . So even over manifesto commitments, supported by a considerable number of colleagues, the awkward squad remained awkward. And, equally ominously, the government didn't manage to get any of the smaller parties onside. When the numbers get tight, the Northern Ireland DUP would normally be the first port of call for beleaguered ministers, but they, too, would not budge. Maybe they require earlier courtship, so that deals are cut in good time and good order. So the overall lesson the rebels and the small parties will draw is that this government has blinked first, in the face of the first real test of its micro-majority. There is much gloating behind closed doors, and we can expect to hear the thud of leather on minister a bit more often. Meanwhile, the flagship promise to bring in EVEL in this government's first 100 days has run into trouble. It won't be delivered in time, now, and there may even be quite some question over what will eventually be delivered. Remember that this question has been hovering over Westminster since WE Gladstone's Home Rule bills for Ireland in the 1890s, and no-one's ever come up with a solution that satisfied everybody. Should the Commons procedural mechanism cooked up by the Leader of the House, Chris Grayling, be tweaked in some way? Or is primary legislation needed? At the moment, the government has been skewered over process - a one-off vote after an afternoon's debate on Standing Orders could be presented as a rather casual way of enacting major-league constitutional change. So a more deliberative series of longer debates helps answer that complaint. But what happens if the naysaysers continue to say "nay?" Anthony Fuggle was sentenced to four months, suspended for two years, at Kingston Crown Court, south London. Fuggle, 58, admitted six counts of possessing indecent images of children. The ex-classics master at Colet Court, in Barnes, also admitted seven charges of making indecent images of children on or before 10 September 2013. He was found to be in possession of more than 1,000 still and moving images of children, the court heard. Colet Court is a junior division of St Paul's Preparatory School. Alumni include Chancellor George Osborne. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: "There was no evidence to suggest that any of the children in the pictures were students at St Paul's or Colet Court." Fuggle, from Sutton, south London, is understood to have resigned from his post at the school after he was arrested in September 2013. Investigations revealed the teacher had downloaded almost 2,000 images of children, some of whom were as young as 12. Four counts of making images of the most severe level, Category A, were left to lie on file after he pleaded not guilty to them. Jane Humphryes QC told the court Fuggle had been seeking help and was attending weekly therapy sessions. Fuggle was the first person to be charged under the Metropolitan Police's Operation Winthorpe. It was set up to investigate allegations of historical sexual abuse and misconduct at St Paul's and Colet Court. He is the most senior member of the governing Workers' Party to be arrested as part of an investigation into alleged corruption at state-owned oil giant Petrobras. Dirceu was already under house arrest. He was sentenced in 2012 for his role in another corruption scandal known as the Mensalao. He was found guilty of using public funds to pay opposition parties for support in Congress and sentenced to 10 years and 11 months. After spending 18 months in prison, he was allowed to serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest. Federal police officers arrested Dirceu, who is 69, at his home in the capital, Brasilia, on Monday morning, and took him into custody. Federal prosecutor Carlos Fernando dos Santos Lima said Dirceu was one of the main instigators of a bribery scheme involving Petrobras. He accused Dirceu of setting up the Petrobras kickback scheme along the same lines as he had done with the Mensalao corruption ring. Speaking during a press conference, Mr Lima also said claimed Dirceu took bribes while in office. He said he and his associates received a monthly payment of 200,000 reais ($58,000; £37,000) from Petrobras, although it was not clear how much of that money went to Dirceu directly. The prosecutor said Dirceu continued to receive kickbacks even while he was in jail. Dirceu's lawyer has not yet commented on the fresh allegations. The BBC's Julia Carneiro in Rio de Janeiro says his arrest is another blow for the Workers' Party, of which Dirceu is a founding member. He is a former left-wing rebel who fought Brazil's military government in the 1970s and was eventually sent into exile in Cuba. He later became one of the closest political allies of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who was president from 2003 to 2011. Our correspondent says Jose Dirceu's brother has also been arrested. The investigation into corruption at Petrobras, dubbed Operation Car Wash, has been hugely damaging to the company. In April, Petrobras said it had lost $2bn (£1.3bn) in costs related to corruption. Dozens of lawmakers are being investigated in connection with the kickback scheme. But President Dilma Rousseff, who chaired Petrobras when much of the corruption is believed to have taken place, has been cleared of involvement. Lily Partridge, 22, collapsed at the side of the pitch after getting hurt during a tackle in December. Lead singer Chris Martin, who knew the family, donated the instrument along with some signed drumsticks and records. The auction, held in Topsham, Devon, on Saturday, raised more than £20,000. A memorial game between Ms Partridge's Exonian Ladies club and Newton Abbot Ladies also took place and was the first game the side had played since her death. Lily's parents, Jeff and Liz Partridge, said: "The whole day and evening was beyond our wildest dreams and we are still buzzing. "We just want to thank everybody who was involved and the girls from both teams, its sums up the atmosphere and camaraderie of the club. "We cannot thank everyone enough for what they have done in Lily's memory." It was revealed at her funeral at Exeter Cathedral that Ms Partridge saved the lives of at least four people as she was an organ donor. The money raised from the auction will be donated to the Devon Air Ambulance, Exeter Intensive Care Unit and Shaldon Zoo, where she worked. David Crompton and Det Ch Insp Philip Etheridge were criticised by the Home Affairs Select Committee. It comes after The Times said confidential police reports referred to widespread abuse of girls by Asian men. The session in Westminster heard of three unconvicted members of one family being linked to the abuse of 61 girls. The committee members also heard evidence of a 22-year-old man going unpunished after being found in a car with a 12-year-old girl, a bottle of vodka and indecent images of her on his mobile phone. Committee chairman Keith Vaz asked Mr Etheridge how many successful prosecutions there had been this year for child sex exploitation. "None," was the answer, and just one in 2010 and eight in 2008. Mr Vaz said: "I am very disappointed and I am very surprised nobody has been prosecuted this year ... you need to get a grip on the situation in South Yorkshire." He added: "I want you to write to us in a month's time setting out what has been done. "The committee is very concerned and the public are very concerned." Mr Vaz added the force needed to approach the issue with the same rigour it was bringing to its dealings with the Hillsborough investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission. The abuse of young girls in Rotherham, and also in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, came to light after a series of investigations by The Times. The newspaper claimed documents it obtained show agencies were aware of extensive and co-ordinated abuse of white girls by some Asian men in Rotherham for which no one has been prosecuted. The paper said a confidential 2010 police report warned that thousands of such crimes were committed in South Yorkshire each year. South Yorkshire Police have previously denied any suggestion they had been reluctant to tackle child sexual abuse and pointed to a series of successful criminal convictions. Mr Crompton was asked today if "ethnic origin was a factor" in the Crown Prosecution Service charging suspects. "No, it's not a factor at all," he said. On Boxing Day morning in 2004 at 8am, he and 10 of his relatives had walked down to Nagapattinam beach, just 600 metres from his house. His children - daughters Rakshanya, 12, and Karuyna, 9, and son Kirubasan, 5 - like all children loved playing by the sea. Mr Paramesvaran was throwing a frisbee to his son when suddenly he saw Kirubasan's face freeze with fear. As he turned around he saw a huge wave - the size of two palm trees - heading towards his children . It is a moment that he has relived time and time again. His voice chokes with emotion as he tells me what happened next. "I reached out for my son, I held his hand for as long as I could but the waves were too strong. Eventually he slipped out my hands." He then pauses for a moment. "I failed my son, as his father I should have been able to protect him but I did not." Mr Paramesvaran was swept away from his family by the waves. He thought he was going to die, but he somehow managed to cling on to a palm tree for five minutes and survived. He then rushed home to see if he could find his children. His wife Churamani, who had been cooking a meal for his birthday, told him there was no sign of them. He rushed back to the beach to try and find them. On the railway track, he found the lifeless body of his daughter Rakshanya who just a few hours earlier had bought him a cup of tea and wished him happy birthday. With the little strength he had left, he carried her back to the house. Over the next few hours, he did the same for his other daughter and son. Out of the 11 people who went to the beach that morning, he was the only one who survived. Some of the bodies were never recovered. That night, he had and his wife buried their children. "It is something no parent should have to do," he tells me. He wanted to dig a grave for each of them. But he did not have the strength, so in the end he buried them all together. He wanted to throw himself into the grave and a few days later asked his wife to buy him some poison. All he could see, he says, was the face of his son slipping away out of his hands. "How could I live when the sea had taken all my three children?" he says. But 10 years on, he is still here. He has two children now but looks after many more. The way he has survived is by helping others. In his area alone more than 60 children lost their parents and his wife told him that they had to try and help them. Initially they took in four children - three girls and a boy. Now they have more than 30 children staying with them in their home which has been renamed the Nambikkai (Hands of Hope). It is full of laughter and life. As the children play around her, Churamani tells me: "People say we have helped them, but they have helped us. Without them, we would have ended blaming each other for what happened." Mr Paramesvaran nods his head in agreement. "Ten years on, I have to keep busy every minute of the day otherwise I see Kirubasan's hand slipping out of mine. These children have saved my life, I have not saved theirs." Some of the children have now left. Vinod, whose grandfather, father and uncle died, has qualified as an engineer. For the first few years after the tsunami, he had nightmares. He could not look at the sea. He and the other children just talked about who they had lost and asked why. Nobody could ever give then an answer. "Over time, we all got strength from each other and realised that we had to make something out of our lives. That is the best way to remember those who died," Vinod tells me. On 26 December this year, Mr Paramesvaran and the children here will not celebrate his birthday. Instead, they will gather to remember those who were washed away and he will once again see his son slipping away from his hands. 9.1 Magnitude quake 228,000 People killed - likely more Quake fault line extended 1,500km Rupture lasted about 10 secs Tsunami waves reached 20-30m The Edinburgh-based company increased the assets it managed by 4% to £307bn, with pre-tax profits up 9% to £665m. Chief executive Keith Skeoch said the firm had made "considerable progress" despite "volatile markets". The news saw Standard Life's share price jump 3% as trading opened at 08:00, although it has since settled to a rise of just over 1%. The firm had warned of a drop in annuity business last year, as it switched its focus to "fee-based" business. Conditions have been difficult in the markets amid continued anxiety about the global economy, but Standard Life said the breadth of its investments helped it withstand the instability. Mr Skeoch said: "While the difficult conditions in global financial markets may persist for some time, Standard Life remains well positioned to meet the needs of clients and customers around the world. "The breadth of our investment propositions, underpinned by a strong investment performance and innovation, combined with our strength in pensions and savings, the power of a trusted brand and a strong balance sheet, means we have a well-diversified and resilient business that continues to deliver for customers and clients as well as shareholders." The firm reported net inflows more than doubling to £12.6bn, with 67% coming from outside the UK due to an "expanding global reach". Fee-based revenue was up 10% to £1.5bn, while the company's dividend reached a total of 18.36p, up 7.8% for the year. Fury, a fellow award nominee, has expressed controversial views on women, homosexuality and abortion. Rutherford said he planned to pull out of the event in Belfast on 20 December. But the long jump champion reconsidered and said he would attend "to make my family proud and to thank them for the support in my career." "I have opinions, of which I was privately clear. I DID pull out of SPOTY [Sports Personality of the Year], on Sunday I wrote to the BBC requesting removal," he said on Twitter. "Throughout the next two days the SPOTY team asked me to stay on. Also, I realised my nomination meant so much to my family. "I then asked myself, do I really want to disappoint my own family just because of a bigot's views? The answer was no." A petition calling for world heavyweight champion Fury's removal from the shortlist of 12 has passed 120,000 signatories. Olympic, world, European and Commonwealth gold medallist Rutherford made his comments having earlier released a statement in which he said the BBC had been "hugely supportive" in listening to his views. "I have been in discussions with the BBC regarding my involvement with SPOTY [Sports Personality of the Year] after hearing what I believe to be very outdated and derogatory comments from a fellow nominee," he said. Rutherford said society had "fought for generations" to give everybody the right to freedom of speech but Fury's comments "undermine the struggles we have been through". He added: "As such, I wanted to speak with the BBC about sharing a stage with somebody that had views that are so strongly against my own." Heavyweight Fury, 27, won the WBA, IBF and WBO titles on 28 November from Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko, who had been world champion for 11 years. It led to the Sports Personality panel agreeing to add the Manchester fighter - and Great Britain's Davis Cup winner Andy Murray - to an extended shortlist of 12, shortly before it was announced on 30 November. Fury, who has since relinquished the IBF belt with a rematch against Klitschko on the cards, has sought to clarify comments that a woman's "best place is on her back", as well as saying fellow award nominee Jessica Ennis-Hill - the Olympic heptathlon champion - "slaps up well". Defending his views on homosexuality, Fury told BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine show: "Let's not try and make me out to be some evil person and I hate gays because I don't hate anybody." Scott Cuthbertson, who began the petition calling for Fury's removal, said: "He has repeatedly made degrading, insulting and homophobic and sexist remarks." The Sunday Times claims the backbencher is "sounding out" friends about possibly succeeding Theresa May. But the North East Somerset MP told the BBC: "I think it's a reminder that it's August and people don't have pressing UK political news to write about. "And therefore there's this jolly stuff about me, but I wouldn't put any money on it," he told Radio 4. In The Mail on Sunday, academic Ted Malloch said: "I was at a lunch with Jacob very recently and he indicated he would like to be considered for the leadership when the time comes. "He did not mean now, but at some point in the future." Mr Rees-Mogg, 48, told the newspaper he had lunch with Prof Malloch, but denied suggesting he wanted to be leader. However, the father-of-six declined to rule out making a challenge in the future. Mr Rees-Mogg has become a popular social media star with more than 40,000 followers on Instagram and 29,000 likes on Facebook. There are dozens of Facebook pages devoted to the MP, some with tens of thousands of likes - more than any cabinet minister, according to the Sunday Times. "I think if I threw my hat in the ring, my hat would be thrown back at me pretty quickly," he is quoted as telling the paper. He has previously told the BBC: "I am fully supporting Mrs May."

Alistair McDowall's play, X, tells the story of the crew of a lone research base on the dwarf planet who have lost contact with Earth. The London venue's artistic director Vicky Featherstone, who will direct the play, admitted that science fiction was "notoriously difficult" to stage. "It plays with the ideas of all those space station films," she said. "It's about what it's like if we were trapped in space with nothing out there and how would we communicate." She promised there would be "no bungee ropes" that would simulate zero gravity when the play begins its run at the Royal Court's Jerwood Theatre in March. It's believed to be the first time a play set in space has been staged at the Sloane Square venue, although earlier in her career Featherstone directed David Greig's play, The Cosmonaut's Last Message... which features two Soviet cosmonauts stranded in Earth's orbit. X will be set "entirely in space", Featherstone said. "It's hard to put plays in genres, it's a play that is in a science fiction world but I wouldn't like to say it's a science fiction play." The Royal Court's 60th anniversary programme - dubbed Sixty Years New - will kick off in January with a new Caryl Churchill play, Escaped Alone. Featherstone said it features four women aged in their late 60s and 70s "talking over a cup of tea". She said the play, which will be directed by James Macdonald, goes "from the domestic to the epic" and there were "loads of thoughts" on casting. Churchill's previous work for the Royal Court Theatre includes Love and Information; Top Girls and Cloud Nine and recent revivals of her plays include The Skriker (Royal Exchange) and Light Shining in Buckinghamshire (National). Other plays in the Royal Court season include: The full programme is on the Royal Court website.

A space drama set on Pluto is among the new plays in the Royal Court's 60th anniversary season in 2016.

Britain's Elinor Barker won bronze in the women's points race, but Jason Kenny failed to place in the keirin. Great Britain's medal haul stands at three gold and one bronze, with Olympic champion Laura Trott, 22, leading the omnium heading into the final day. Trott made an excellent start, winning two of the first three races in the six-discipline event - but she was pushed all the way by Dutchwoman Kirsten Wild, who is just two points behind the Briton. The omnium resumes on Sunday with the 500m time trial, the flying lap and the 25km points race still to go. Doull, 21, and Christian, 24, who won team pursuit gold on Friday, had to dig deep to prevent Australia taking a lap in the final moments of the 120-lap madison and deny them victory. "The crowd lifts you so much," said Doull. "Usually when the lactic acid kicks in and you're really suffering, the noise carries you. It's unbelievable." Barker, 20, who claimed gold in the women's team pursuit on the opening day, attempted to snatch the points required to repeat her silver at the Commonwealth Games with a late attack in the 80-lap points race, but was caught with a lap to go.

Great Britain's Owain Doull and Mark Christian won gold on day two of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup in London.

The Spaniard, 31, replaced Britain's Andy Murray as world number one on Monday - the first time since July 2014 he has held top spot. It comes despite dealing with a series of knee and wrist injuries since first holding top ranking in 2008. "It is unprecedented," said Kermode. "Rafa has been setting records throughout his remarkable career and this one is as impressive as any. It shows incredible dedication and longevity," the ATP president added. Nadal's recent rise has been helped by injuries to rivals such as Murray, who is recovering from a hip problem. A back injury for 19-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer and an elbow problem for 12-time Slam winner Novak Djokovic have similarly helped him in his rise. And Nadal, who previously spent 141 weeks as world number one, said: "Being number one after all the things that I have been going through the last couple of years is something unbelievable." He later told fans on social media: "Today is a special day, going back to number one, I'm very happy." The photograph of the memo was posted on Twitter by photographer Steve Back. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport said the government was looking at a "range of options" on reform. Channel 4 commented that its "not-for-profit model enables it to deliver significant public value to viewers and the UK economy." The "official - sensitive: commercial" document is dated 24 September 2015 and headed "Assessment of Channel 4 Corporation Reform Options". It says there has been a "recent meeting" between Cabinet Office minister Matthew Hancock and two unnamed secretaries of state. The document reads: "You agreed that work should proceed [to] examine the options for extracting greater public value from the Channel 4 Corporation (C4C), focusing on privatisation options in particular, whilst protecting its ability to deliver against its remit. "This submission outlines the options we propose to explore." In response to the photograph, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport said: "Channel 4 has an important remit and we are looking at a range of options as to how to continue to deliver this, including options put forward by Channel 4." Channel 4 was launched in 1982 as a publicly-owned, commercially-funded public service broadcaster. It does not receive public funding and has a remit to be "innovative, experimental and distinctive". In August, culture secretary John Whittingdale said a sale of Channel 4 was not currently being discussed. "The ownership of Channel 4 is not currently under debate. Do I say there are no circumstances in which I would ever consider it? No I don't," he told the Edinburgh International Television Festival. Centrist Emmanuel Macron said his far-right rival Marine Le Pen's strategy "is to lie", while she called him a shameless "darling of the system". Mr Macron is well ahead in the polls, although his lead has been reduced. The aim of both candidates is to win over the estimated 18% of undecided voters ahead of Sunday's election. For the first time, neither candidate is from a mainstream French party. Follow the debate as it happens Does Le Pen have a chance of winning French presidency? Macron's meteoric rise The debate was heated for most of its 160 minutes, with both candidates throwing personal insults at each other. Ms Le Pen called her 39-year-old rival "the candidate of savage globalisation", happy to sell off France's assets and relinquish control of the country. Mr Macron, in turn, accused the 48-year-old leader of the National Front (FN) of being "the high priestess of fear", saying she talked a lot but "proposed nothing". On the economy and employment: Mr Macron admitted France had failed to tackle unemployment for 30 years, and said his solution would be to give small and medium-sized companies the opportunities to create more jobs and be more flexible. Ms Le Pen asked him why he could not have done these things while economy minister. She said she would protect state assets and French jobs by adopting protectionist trade measures. On terrorism: Ms Le Pen accused her rival of being complacent about Islamic fundamentalism, while he said her plans played into the hands of terrorists and their desire for a "civil war". Mr Macron said he would strengthen security measures already taken but insisted France needed to work with other countries, and closing borders and general expulsions were not the answer. The FN leader said Islamic fundamentalism needed to be "eradicated", and that meant shutting down extremist mosques, expelling preachers of hate and target funding from countries such as "Qatar and Saudia Arabia". The issues dividing Le Pen and Macron How do the French candidates differ on world affairs? French election 2017: The economic challenge On the EU and currency: Ms Le Pen said she wants not only full control of borders and trade agreements but also a "return to our national currency, it's key". She said banks and large companies could have a choice as to whether they paid in euros or a French currency, but individuals would return to a French currency. Mr Macron called the proposal "nonsense". "How can a big company pay in euros on one hand and pay its employees in another currency?" he asked. On education: Mr Macron said he would focus on improving standards in primary schools, and said he wanted to see closer links with business. Ms Le Pen said she wanted to see more vocational teaching, university criteria based on merit and more secularism in schools. This has got to go down as one of the great debates. The ones that people remember. From Marine Le Pen, the aggression of the demagogue, the venom, the constant niggling remarks designed to get under her adversary's skin. And from Emmanuel Macron, the Cartesian rationality of the brilliant French technocrat. There is not the slightest point of similarity between these two leaders. They are diametrical opposites. Their personalities clash; their politics clash; they loathe each other. It is a great service they are providing in this debate, because they are laying bare in all its stark newness the great division of our times: not between left and right, but between the nation and the world. It is a debate which echoes far beyond the borders of France, which is why this fiery confrontation will go down in the annals. % Emmanuel Macron % Marine Le Pen Please enable Javascript to view our poll of polls chart. Last updated April 25, 2017 The polling average line looks at the five most recent national polls and takes the median value, ie, the value between the two figures that are higher and two figures that are lower. Adam Owens, 17, was found dead in Newtownards, County Down, after taking so-called legal highs in April 2015. The website, www.madworldnews.com, used his image in an article that Adele Wallace says has "totally destroyed and tainted" her son's memory. Following its publication, the story became a focus for internet trolls. The piece wrongly linked her son to a new drug craze in America involving anti-diarrhoea medication. Ms Wallace found it on social media. Although the website has now removed any reference to Adam, the original article has been viewed and shared hundreds of times and is still available on other websites. She said the entire episode has left her hugely distressed. "Every day is a tough day for me if I'm blatantly honest", she told BBC News. "To come across an article like that was so unjustified and so wrong, and even to put his photograph and link him to this other drugs craze in America, it's just upset me so much." She said so-called internet trolls, who added "horrific, disgusting, vile and filthy comments", have added to her grief. "It's just ongoing now and there's no stopping it", she said. Some internet-users even suggested her son "deserved to die". Ms Wallace said she felt those comments would be out there "forever" now. The billionaire told MPs that his advisers were working on a "resolvable and sortable" solution for 20,000 members of the BHS scheme. He said he would sit down as soon as possible with the regulator and would give it his "best shot". Sir Philip also said he had offered to help Sports Direct buy BHS. He said Sports Direct's founder, Mike Ashley, had offered to buy the business and keep the shops trading until Christmas 2016. Sir Philip added that he had even offered to put in a "few million", but that the total on the table was not sufficient. The pension scheme is now in the Pension Protection Fund, meaning that members will receive less money than they had expected. Sir Philip, whose retail empire includes Topshop, was appearing before a joint hearing of the Business and the Work and Pensions select committees, which are investigating the demise of the department store group. He has come in for criticism for the £400m in dividends taken out of the firm during his 15-year ownership, his management of the pension scheme, and the sale of BHS in 2015 to former racing car driver and bankrupt Dominic Chappell, who had no retail experience. At the start of almost six hours of tetchy exchanges, Sir Philip apologised for the collapse of BHS, which is expected to result in up to 11,000 job losses. "There certainly [was] no intent on my part for anything to be like this. It didn't need to be like this," he said. But he said he was working on a plan for the pension scheme, which was in surplus when he bought BHS but now has a £571m deficit. "We want to find a solution for the 20,000 pensioners," he said. "It's current and in motion." He took blame for the pensions "mess", saying: "It's my fault". Sir Philip told MPs the new plan, being drawn up by Deloitte, would offer BHS pensioners a "better outcome" than compensation available from the Pension Protection Fund, a lifeboat scheme that helps finance pensions when companies go bust. However, he declined to give more details of the plan. When asked if it meant scheme members would receive the pensions due before the collapse, Sir Philip said: "We are trying to fix this mess." He rejected suggestions that he had sucked money out of BHS. Sir Philip told MPs that his Arcadia retail empire had invested £800m in BHS in an attempt to turn around a business that "structurally was in the wrong shape". Asked when he first considered selling BHS, Sir Philip replied that it was 2014. He added that there was "no thought process - perhaps there should have been - it would have saved a lot of aggravation". He said: "Would I do that deal again? No." Mr Chappell was "unfortunately the wrong guy" to buy BHS. But Sir Philip said Mr Chappell had endorsements from lawyers, accountants and banks. He took comfort from the advisory firms Grant Thornton and Olswang, which acted on behalf of Mr Chappell, although he now thought they didn't know him "from a hole in the wall". Asked about Mr Chappell's previous bankruptcies, Sir Philip said that should not necessarily count against him. "Entrepreneurs do bad deals. That doesn't mean they can't go back into business." He also defended his use of the tax haven Monaco to run his operations, saying: "I don't accept that it is tax avoidance. With respect, if you look at our corporate structure, there is a lot of stuff written and I don't want to talk about other companies, it is not my style. "I could have been a lot more aggressive than I probably was. Every penny our company has made in the United Kingdom has paid tax." The businessman said he only left the UK because of a heart scare: "When I went there [Monaco], I had no idea I was ever going to do any more business." In an extraordinary exchange, Sir Philip stopped mid-sentence at one point to rebuke Richard Fuller MP for "staring" at him. He said to Mr Fuller: "Sir, do you mind not looking at me like that all the time, it's really disturbing. You just want to stare at me, it's uncomfortable." Mr Fuller replied: "I don't wish to make you feel uncomfortable, Sir Philip... I think it is another parliamentary colleague that is known for his death stare." MPs have already taken evidence from Mr Chappell, the pensions regulator and advisers on the sale of BHS. After the hearing, the committee chairs, Iain Wright and Frank Field, said they may have further questions for Sir Philip. They are already planning to recall Mr Chappell. Mr Wright told the BBC: "What was quite clear was that he was not used to being questioned. One of the things that really struck us was the ability of him to have quite vivid recollection of detail such as where that £7m went, but in terms of ten years of pension schemes which went from surplus to deficit he didn't know anything, and we were trying to push him on that - that curious mix, that contradiction between knowing the detail and knowing nothing at all is something we really want to push. "How can somebody extract hundreds of millions of pounds from a business and then sell it to somebody who isn't putting any equity into it himself and it crashes in 13 months - how can that be allowed to happen?" Mr Field added: "This guy, Dominic Chappell, who was a fantasist - how could he ever have been taken by anybody, seriously?" Yes, the Proteas were without fast bowlers Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander but, even before England arrived, they seemed a team in decline. In contrast, England have been on an upward curve in all formats since the beginning of last summer thanks to a change of management, the right players in the right roles and a new aggressive style. Alastair Cook's side have knocked South Africa from the top of the world rankings, but remain fifth themselves. However, home series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan this summer and then a tour of Bangladesh before a very difficult trip to India present the chance to improve that status. The Ashes, lost in a whitewash, have been regained, and the limited-overs cricket is a world away from the humiliation of the 2015 World Cup. There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the England cricket team. Probably the most exciting Test cricketer in the world right now. Ben Stokes hits the ball hard, bowls fast and catches flies. Though he has the ability to change the course of match in the space of a session, he is much more than an impact player. For all that his 258 in the second Test against South Africa seemed like the work of a one-man highlight reel, it was also a sustained assault of the sort very few in the world can pull off. Removing Kane Williamson and Brendon McCullum in successive balls in the first Test against New Zealand in May was exhilarating, but Stokes was also able to pound away over after over to take 6-36 in the Ashes-sealing win at Trent Bridge. "In Stokes, England have a cricketer who will cause headaches for teams all around the world," wrote former England captain Michael Vaughan. "He has a touch of genius about him and shows just what talent England boast." There was a time not too long ago when England relied almost exclusively on the runs of Alastair Cook and Joe Root, and the wickets of James Anderson. Yes, Cook and Root still need more help from the rest of the top five, but South Africa have been beaten with Cook and Anderson barely contributing. England are now blessed with the type of match-winners who made their two most recent formidable Test sides - Vaughan's Ashes-winners of 2005 and Andrew Strauss's class of 2010-11 - so successful. Stokes forms a lethal lower order with Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali, who was also named man of the match in the first Test for the seven wickets he took with his off-breaks. As Anderson has struggled for fitness, Stuart Broad has flourished to the extent that he is now ranked as the number one Test bowler in the world. The resurgent Steven Finn has arguably been England's most consistent threat in South Africa. "Broad, Stokes and Root can all turn the momentum in a session," said BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew. "We know what a fully fit Anderson is capable of and Finn showed during the Ashes that he can bowl a magic spell." Of the 11 who played for England in the series-clinching win against South Africa in Johannesburg, eight were under the age of 30, while captain Cook has only just turned 31. "The majority of them have a number of years left in them and it really is a side that should get better and better," Vaughan told BBC Radio 5 live. With youth, comes exuberance. The England team that won three consecutive Ashes series between 2009 and 2013 was successful, but not necessarily popular thanks to a turgid, attritional style. When in doubt, the England of 2016 attack. At the beginning of last summer, a naturally aggressive group of players were gathered and given the freedom to play by the new management. They may also have been inspired by Brendon McCullum's New Zealand. "England looked at New Zealand and thought 'we can play cricket like this'," said Agnew. Vaughan added: "For two or three years England were attritional because of the players they had. Now when England get going it is very difficult to top them." While England's gradual improvement began after the dismissal of former coach Peter Moores, it is unfair to simply say it is a result of his exit. More accurate would be say England have benefited from a change of approach. Moores' hands-on method, arguably stifling, has been replaced by the laid-back, work-in-the-shadows of Trevor Bayliss. The Australian may be economical with his words, but that seems to be an approach that suits this talented England team, who listen when he speaks. Cook even admitted that a "kick up the backside" was delivered by Bayliss at lunch on day three in Johannesburg. "I certainly don't raise the voice, but the message gets across in my way," said Bayliss. "Probably the proof is in the pudding - they then went out and backed that up." Bayliss was, in part, hired for his limited-overs expertise. Experience of the Indian Premier League would boost an England team that had fallen behind the rest of the world in white-ball cricket. A measure of how successful he has been will come at the World Twenty20 in March. But England teams are always judged on Test results and, more specifically, the Ashes. Looking ahead to the Australia trip in 2017-18, how sweet would it be for Bayliss, a New South Welshman, to be holding the urn in Sydney? Before the Ashes, England's most daunting Test assignment will be the trip to India at the end of this year. To win there, they will need Moeen to improve his bowling average in Asia from its current 48. More importantly, England still need to settle on their top three. Alex Hales and Nick Compton, brought into the side for the South Africa series, are yet to cement their places, even if they have been backed by Bayliss. In particular Hales, Cook's eighth opening partner since 2012, needs a score in the fourth and final Test, especially after being caught by the keeper or slips in four or his six innings so far. "To me, he hasn't got the technique," said former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott. "He may have talent for hitting the ball in one-day cricket, but I don't think he can survive for a time in Test cricket." Runs for Hales in the final Test would cap the tour for England. Even with failure, he could get more chances in the summer, or Compton could be promoted to create a space for the likes of Gary Ballance or James Vince. The make-up of the top order is the final piece of England's puzzle. "There are good times ahead," said Vaughan. "If they can get some consistency at the top of the order, they will really take come beating. "Everyone will talk about Australia. Can England go there and really compete? I think they can." Ben Young, who had worked in rugby union with Saracens and England, was drafted in as an assistant before England's historic third-place finish in Canada. Immediately, he knew how quickly he could improve the overall condition of the squad. "There were so many easy wins," he said. Now, as England prepare for a European Championship for which they are one of the favourites, he says the squad's fitness has improved by 23% since August, adding weight to Sampson's claim his side will be the fittest in the Netherlands. But how did Young make so many gains so quickly, and will it impact on England's performance as they begin their campaign against Scotland on Wednesday? This content will not work on your device, please check Javascript and cookies are enabled or update your browser According to Sampson, and players such as Karen Bardsley and Casey Stoney, England have never looked leaner or more defined. Players are lifting weights three or four times a week - pictures on the FA's Twitter account show full-back Demi Stokes lifting 135kg - body fat percentages have dropped to 11% in some cases, and post-training speed runs have been so gruelling, players have been wracked with anxiety even before taking part. "They are gruelling and just horrible," says Stoney. A sea change has occurred. And it was necessary, according to Sampson, who admits his side would "run out of legs" in games and suffered in the World Cup because they had "so many players carrying knocks". Young knew he could improve speed and injury reduction through a better strength programme, but he needed to supply the players with evidence so they would buy into what he was attempting. So he tapped into data used by the Great Britain and United States hockey teams to see how their fitness compared. As Sampson told BBC Sport: "We were so far behind." Young tailored the system, in which players would take 10 fitness tests - measuring everything from speed to power - to reach an individual fitness score. Those scores would then be added together to measure the overall fitness of the team. Young also created four measures: world-class, future England, current England and below standard. These showed players where they needed to improve. "Within the first three months, we had 76 personal bests in the squad," he told BBC Sport. "There was massive room for improvement, but the players bought into it and we've gone from the majority of the squad in the 'current England' bracket to 40% of them pushing or within 'world-class' standards." Young, who had never previously worked in women's sport, says he initially encountered a brick wall when trying to convince players and clubs about his methods. As Stoney said: "People don't like change." But, over time, all parties bought into the shift in culture, and Young says the relationship between clubs and country is now more "harmonious". Part of the problem was England training was a lot more physically intense than at club level. "We've had to work with clubs to ensure their programmes are close to ours so it's not such a shock when players join England camps," said Sampson. Find out how to get into football with our special guide. To bridge that gap, Young mimicked other sports, such as basketball, where players can top up different aspects of their fitness. "The weights and fitness culture was already on the back burner, and when you chuck in a few games, it falls by the wayside," he said. "But you look at the NBA, where they play four games a week and do lifts before and after a game. "My experience in the year beforehand was not to go anywhere near the players two days before a game, because they want to be fresh, but if you're always trying to be fresh, then you can't work them to capacity or improve them. Now we can, and the clubs have helped us do this." As part of that culture shift, Young has tried out new techniques in the build-up to England games. Rather than spend a relaxed day before an evening kick-off, he has introduced what he calls a "priming session" at which, five hours before kick-off, players will meet to do explosive activities - such as using a watt bike, jumps or weights - for 30 minutes. "The players don't feel tired during the game, it's completely the opposite," Young added. "They feel energised and up for it. You're trying to create a hormone spike so they are ready for action and it's used a lot in other sports like rugby union." Debate has long raged in rugby union about whether too much time in the gym can leave players short on developing their skills, but Sampson believes his team can match any of their rivals on a technical level. Of more concern at Euro 2017 is the fact England could play six games in 19 days - and players could become fatigued. Young and Sampson have worked together to create training sessions during which technical and tactical aspects can be delivered at a high intensity, and games have been organised against England youth teams. "I had to demonstrate to Mark that the training sessions were a lot less intense than games, but by putting constraints on games like getting the ball back in play within three seconds, we increase the intensity by 40%," Young said. "If we do that for 10 minutes, during the last few minutes the players are making decisions under fatigue, which helps for tournament time." Sampson added: "Whatever happens in football, speed, power, and aerobic endurance are always going to be important. There will always be races and physical duels and whoever wins the majority of them will give themselves a foothold in the game. "So we decided that part of our DNA is our physical fitness and our ability to outwork opponents. We want a team that can stop defensive problems at source, which means pressing high up the pitch at the right times. And when we get the ball, we want to do things quickly so they can't be defended." Media playback is not supported on this device England are among the favourites for the European Championship, but for all the talk about how their World Cup victory over Germany would catapult them into the top tier of football, they have not beaten either the European champions or France in six subsequent outings. They won bronze in Canada after a psychological and social evolution in the squad, with players encouraged to share their personal stories and what motivated them. The thinking was if you knew what your team-mate had been through, you'd be more likely to run that extra yard for her. This time, England have had a physical evolution, but questions remain about their technical capabilities. "I wouldn't say England are the strongest technical team in possession at the Euros, but they more than make up for that in their physical and mental capabilities," said former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis. "What Sampson has done in the last three years in terms of the psychological conditioning is far more likely to make an impact than anything else." Sampson is not one for style over substance, and prides himself on building a side that can adapt to every scenario. "I don't get paid to play entertaining football," he said. "I couldn't look my players in the eye if we played a good game and lost." Winning is all that matters, and by adding to their mental fortitude with a stark physical improvement, Sampson can genuinely say his team have the tools to go the distance. Media playback is not supported on this device But what things do you need to become an independent state? BBC World Service's The Inquiry has been finding out. "You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline." So said the rock musician Frank Zappa. But actually, international law experts are much more likely to identify four main facets of a state: a people, a territory, a government, and the ability to conduct relations with other states on a sovereign basis. The definition of a people is much disputed, but some might argue that it means a permanent population with a concept of, and belief in, their own nationality. As James Irving, who teaches international law at the London School of Economics (LSE), puts it: "Are there... ties, effective ties, ties of belonging, of identity of feeling." "And also, ties relating to those of practical shared interest." Another essential is that states should have a defined territory, an area within borders, in which it is sovereign. Stable and effective government is another criterion of statehood cited by many. The ability to conduct relations with other states is another key element. So sovereign states are free to enter into relations which are bilateral - where, for example, two countries agree to diplomatic relations or work together to solve a common problem - or multilateral - as part of the EU, for instance, or as signatories to international climate change agreements. Underlying this is the understanding that a sovereign state is neither dependent on, nor subjected to, any other power or state. So how do would-be states become true states? Individual countries can recognise each other, but the big prize is recognition as a state by the United Nations. The benefits are legion: The protection of international law; access to loans from the World Bank and the IMF; control over borders and greater access to economic networks; and mechanisms. Plus the protection afforded by trade laws, making it easier to create trade agreements. But can you be unrecognised by the UN and still be a state? "Essentially, it's the old adage: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it is a duck," explains Rebecca Richards, a lecturer in International Relations at Keele University. "We recognise that it is state-like, it's just lacking that recognition." Somaliland is a case in point. A former British protectorate in East Africa, it was independent for four days in 1960, before it joined up with Italian Somalia. It remained part of Somalia until the government there collapsed in 1991. Then Somaliland unilaterally declared independence. "There's a remarkably strong government," explains Rebecca Richards. "It's had a series of democratic elections. It's peaceful. It's stable. There's an incredible amount of economic development that's taking place. It's pretty much everything that you would expect to see in a state," Ms Richards adds. But Somaliland is not recognised by anybody, making life hard. "There is limited access to some types of developmental assistance or humanitarian assistance, but a lot of that, especially… aid that comes from the UN… goes through Somalia." Access to international markets is difficult without legal protections. As Somaliland's currency is not recognised outside its boundaries, it has no international value. The concept which underlies the idea of a nation state is "self-determination". The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as: "The action of a people in deciding its own form of government; free determination of statehood, postulated as a right." This right was enshrined in the UN Charter in June 1945. Self-determination was initially seen as a way for peoples living under colonial regimes to gain independence, or choose some form of association with the former colonial power or another state. "A lot of people thought it sounded like a good idea," explains Dr Irving, "but there wasn't a great deal of agreement on what it meant." If the people of a colonised territory wanted their own country, the principle of self-determination suggested they should have it. About a third of the planet's population saw its political status changed. From just 51 countries in 1945, the United Nations today has 193 members. But there was a catch. Many jurists of international law maintained that after a colony gained independence, further separations, or consideration of changes in borders, were out. But this runs up against the idea of self-determination. "How do you marry those two principles, that borders can't change and yet people should have a right to determine their own future?" asks James Ker-Lindsay, senior research fellow in South East European Politics at the LSE. The solution was to say that, for people living inside the borders of the country from which they want independence, self-determination gives a right to autonomy, but stops short of being allowed their own country. This issue came to the fore in Kosovo. When Yugoslavia broke up, it was replaced by six republics, one of which was Serbia. Kosovo was a province within Serbia's borders, but with a different ethnic population which had enjoyed a large degree of autonomy. Kosovo becoming independent would have changed the borders of Serbia and violated the principle of territorial integrity. "The international community's first response was to say [Kosovo] should have a right of internal self-determination," says Dr Ker-Lindsay. "[That] this is a province of Serbia but they don't have the same right to independence that the other republics had. "So once [the Kosovans] realised that they weren't going to get independence through peaceful means, they launched an uprising," he adds. A conflict with the Serbian authorities followed, which only ended with Nato military intervention in 1999. Then in 2008, Kosovo unilaterally declared independence. Serbia said this was invalid and took the issue to the court of the United Nations that settles international legal disputes - the International Court of Justice. "The question put before it was, was Kosovo's declaration of independence in contravention of general international law?" says Dr Ker-Lindsay. "And the court actually said there's nothing under international law that says a territory can't declare independence." But the crux of the matter was less a question of law and more whether Kosovan statehood was likely to be recognised. "Kosovo has been recognised by more than half of the UN members," says Ms Richards, "but it's still not recognised as a sovereign state because the UN, as a body, does not recognise it as a sovereign state." And some recognition means Kosovo enjoys some of the benefits of being a state such as access to the World Bank, the IMF, and the International Olympic Committee. "It's essentially impossible for a group to become independent and claim its own statehood unless others, other powerful states, are willing to support it," says Milena Sterio, a professor at Cleveland State University in the US, where she teaches international law. So what does it take to get the great powers to back you? East Timor was a Portuguese colony until the 1960s, when it was invaded by Indonesia. The Indonesians were a valuable US ally during the Cold War, so the East Timorese independence movement received little support. It wasn't until after the Cold War, in the 1990s, when international attention turned to East Timor again and the western great powers no longer needed Indonesia as an ally because communism had fallen. "The western great powers, essentially embarrassed by the human rights violations that were taking place in East Timor, backed off and essentially said, 'OK, now you the people of East Timor, you get to exercise this delayed right to self-determination,'" say Prof Sterio. In 1999 the Timorese voted for independence, which they got in 2002. But the process was marred by violence, and needed political support from the UN and the intervention of international peace-keepers. The situation in Spain is very different. Under current principles of international law, the Catalans have a right to self-determination, but many jurists would argue that all they can hope for is autonomy, not independence, because of Spain's right to maintain its territorial integrity. So what happens if they vote yes to independence? "I really foresee a negotiated solution where Catalonia remains in Spain with perhaps a heightened degree of autonomy," says Prof Sterio. "What's really interesting is that Spain is one of the western democracies that has actually not recognised Kosovo as an independent state because Spain is afraid of establishing this independence-seeking precedent because of Catalonia threatening the territorial integrity of Spain." And although the situation of the Kurds is very different, ultimately they will run up against the same problem - a lack of great power support - if they vote for independence. The Inquiry: Who gets to have their own country? is now available via BBC iPlayer or the programme podcast. Martin McCaughey and Dessie Grew were shot dead by the SAS in County Armagh in a so-called shoot-to-kill incident. They were both armed with AK47 rifles when they were shot more than 30 times. The court ruled the government breached the European Convention on Human Rights, for what it called excessive delays in the investigative process. The SAS unit opened fire on McCaughey and Grew at a farm shed near Loughgall, in October 1990. At the time, the shed had been under surveillance as a suspected IRA arms dump. Their families took their case to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), complaining that the use of lethal force had not been absolutely necessary and that there had not been an independent police investigation into the shootings. The families also complained that the government had breached Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights, by failing to hold inquests into the circumstances of their deaths. In its ruling on Tuesday, the ECHR agreed that the government's failure to hold inquests was a breach of Article 2. However, the seven judges said they could not make a ruling on the families' other complaints as the killings still have to be dealt with by courts in Northern Ireland. The judges ruled that the UK government had also violated the European Convention on Human Rights in the case of John Hemsworth, a US national, who died from serious head injuries in July 1988. His family claim he died from his injuries, after he was kicked and hit on the head with a truncheon by RUC officers during a riot in west Belfast six months earlier. It was 13 years before an inquest was held into his death and the ECHR upheld his family's complaint that there had been an excessive delay on the part of the government. A police car had its windows smashed as Mr Trump spoke inside a hall in the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa. Some 20 arrests were made. Mr Trump has vowed to deport millions of illegal immigrants if he is elected US president in November. He faces strong opposition in parts of California, particularly among Latinos. California, the biggest prize for Republican candidates in the nomination race, holds its primaries on 7 June. Mr Trump has called himself the Republican "presumptive nominee" after a string of primary wins. The Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa was filled to its capacity of about 18,000 people and hundreds more were turned away. Heated exchanges could be heard between Trump supporters and the protesters outside, with supporters chanting "Build that wall! Build that wall!", a reference to the candidate's call for a barrier between the US and Mexico to stop illegal border crossings. Police in riot gear and officers on horseback moved in to separate the two groups. Reports from the scene say some protesters threw stones at motorists while others jumped on top of a police car, smashing its windows, the BBC's James Cook reports from Los Angeles. They dispersed by 23:00 (06:00 GMT Friday), the Orange County Sheriff's Department reports. The candidate did not seem fazed by the clashes, tweeting after the rally: "Thank you Costa Mesa, California! 31,000 people tonight with thousands turned away. I will be back! #Trump2016" Mr Trump's campaign has been dogged by violence between his supporters and protesters, most notably at the University of Illinois in Chicago on 11 March, when a rally was called off after fighting broke out in the auditorium. Meanwhile, a detailed profile of Mr Trump's wife Melania for GQ Magazine has sparked a hostile response from her. The article revealed details about her upbringing in Slovenia and how she met Mr Trump. She called it "disingenuous reporting". Julia Ioffe, the Jewish Russian-American reporter who wrote the article, said on Twitter she has received a barrage of anti-Semitic and threatening messages from Trump supporters since the piece came out. "Now I'm getting phone calls from a blocked number that play Hitler's speeches when I pick up. Sad!" she tweeted. "It's unsettling," she told the Guardian. In terms of delegate support, the property tycoon is far ahead of his nearest rivals, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and John Kasich, the governor of Ohio. In the Democratic camp, Hillary Clinton has a commanding lead over Bernie Sanders. The presidential election on 8 November will see America vote for a successor to Barack Obama, a Democratic president standing down after two terms in office which have seen the Republicans take control of both houses of Congress. Media playback is not supported on this device A near 10-month slog for promotion spots, play-off places and survival begins on Friday when Fulham host relegated Newcastle in the Championship's opening fixture. So why does this season of the rebranded EFL promise to be one of the biggest and best ever? Hopefully that is enough to get you started... Newcastle and Aston Villa have both turned to former Champions League winners as they aim to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Rafael Benitez improved Newcastle's results and performances in the closing weeks of the 2015-16 campaign but the Spaniard was unable to save the Magpies from the drop. Even so, many supporters were desperate for Benitez to remain at the club and there was real delight on Tyneside when he agreed a three-year contract in May. A large majority of Villa fans were almost resigned to relegation from an early stage of 2015-16 and they went down with just three wins and 17 points to their name. However, with new Chinese owner Dr Tony Xia in place and Roberto Di Matteo installed as manager, there is an opportunity for a fresh start at Villa Park as they prepare for their first year outside the top flight since 1987-88. Di Matteo has won promotion out of the Championship before, with West Bromwich Albion in 2010. Reading, meanwhile, have gone down a different route, offering a first senior managerial post to a former Champions League-winning player. Ex-Manchester United and Netherlands defender Jaap Stam replaced Brian McDermott in June, completing the trio of European champions in the second tier. And it is not just the managers who boast success on the continent... Villa and Nottingham Forest are both European Cup winners, Ipswich won the Uefa Cup in 1981, while Leeds, Fulham and Wolves have all been beaten finalists in a European competition. A leading group of financial analysts estimated that promotion to the Premier League was worth £170m last season. With those riches on offer, it is no surprise that Championship clubs are willing to spend big in an effort to reach the top flight. Newcastle have led the way with eight new signings costing a reported £40m, a figure offset by the big-money sales of Andros Townsend and Georginio Wijnaldum to Crystal Palace and Liverpool respectively. Villa have spent more than £12m on Reading midfielder Aaron Tshibola, Italian goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini and Bournemouth defender Tommy Elphick - before paying out a further £12m to bring in Fulham striker Ross McCormack on Thursday. Media playback is not supported on this device Norwich, the other club to be relegated from the Premier League, have added Northern Ireland goalkeeper Michael McGovern on a free transfer. Their only financial outlay so far has been on two midfielders - Liverpool's Sergi Canos and Tottenham's Alex Pritchard. Leeds, Bristol City, Sheffield Wednesday and QPR have each spent in the region of £5m, and it is likely that Wolves will be active before the end of the transfer window following their £45m takeover by Chinese investment group Fosun International. At the other end of the scale, Burton have broken their transfer record twice since being promoted to the Championship for the first time in their history in May. Their previous record transfer? The £20,000 they paid Kidderminster for midfielder Russell Penn in 2009. Last season was the year of the underdog, as Leicester spectacularly proved by winning the Premier League title. In the second tier, unfancied Brighton contended strongly for automatic promotion and Wednesday - albeit after substantial investment on new players - were beaten play-off finalists. Most, if not all, Championship clubs will feel they could challenge for the top six in 2016-17... Media playback is not supported on this device Seven of the 24 clubs in League One have Premier League experience, with two of them due to meet in their opening game on Saturday. Bolton v Sheffield United was a top-flight fixture in 2006-07. While the Blades were relegated that season, Bolton finished seventh and qualified for the Uefa Cup - a competition in which they would draw at Bayern Munich and beat Atletico Madrid over two legs. At that time, AFC Wimbledon were a seventh-tier club and they will play in League One for the first time in their 14-year history following their play-off final win at Wembley in May. Cheltenham and Grimsby were promoted from the National League last season, and will take on former Premier League clubs Blackpool and Portsmouth during their first year back in League Two. Blackpool have dropped from the top flight to the fourth tier in the space of five years, and Gary Bowyer will become the ninth manager in that period to take charge of a Seasiders match when they host Exeter on Saturday. The 20-year-old gave Scandinavia its second consecutive win and her country's third victory in the history of the competition with her song, Only Teardops. Punctuated by drumming and a tin whistle, her entry stood out from the crowd of ballads, Europop and dance hits that tried to emulate last year's winning song. Its simple melody was fitting for a year when the host nation, Sweden, decided to bring the annual music fest back to its roots. The contest had gained a reputation for becoming increasingly expensive to host - the 2011 contest in Dusseldorf cost a reported 46m euros (£39m; $59m), while Azerbaijan spent a rumoured £60m to put on its show. And with a host of countries including Portugal, Poland and Luxembourg pulling out of the contest in recent years citing financial difficulties, this year had to be austerity Eurovision. The first sign of scaling back was holding the contest in Malmo instead of bigger cities such as Stockholm or Gothenburg. In 2001, almost 38,000 people gathered at Copenhagen's Parken Stadium for that year's contest - the largest audience the event had hosted. Malmo Arena housed 10,500 fans. Organisers also decided to take the contest back to being a TV show, rather than the elaborate stage circus it had become. Numerous acts performed parts of their songs with their back to the audience so they could get their close-up on the camera circling them. Swedish TV broadcaster SVT also chose the running order to make the show "more exciting" and even decided on the order the votes would be revealed to create more tension - although it was clear half-way through that Denmark would be the clear winner. At the winner's press conference afterwards, de Forest maintained she didn't think she would win, despite being the favourite. "Of course I believed in the song, but that's the exciting thing about Eurovision - you don't know what's going to happen. I was surprised and shocked when it happened," she said. Austerity Eurovision was also plain to see on stage. With countries having to pay for their own pyrotechnics or other gimmicks, many of the performances were simply staged with just the artist and their backing singers or dancers. Even de Forest was barefoot and wearing an "eco-friendly" dress in her effort to go back to basics, although she did employ the use of some pyrotechnics and falling glitter. The only real show-stopper moments were the Moldovan entry rising up on a plinth while wearing a huge skirt that was projected with images of lighting, and Belarus's act emerging from a giant glitter ball. Despite her best efforts, the UK's Bonnie Tyler finished in 19th place with 23 points, thanks to meagre scores from Sweden, Slovenia, Switzerland, Romania, Spain and Malta - with Ireland's generous seven points helping to keep her out of the bottom five. It was a better score than last year when Engelbert Humperdinck finished second from last for the UK, but it had been hoped Tyler's years in the industry and her European fans would help win votes. They obviously didn't pick up the phone. Her downfall, perhaps, was that although she may have been a chart-topper in her day, that day was 30 years ago. And Eurovision is now, it seems, a young person's game. A large proportion of the performers were victors or contestants in their native country's TV talent shows and were, on the whole, under 30. And despite securing the coveted final performance slot, Ireland's Ryan Dolan finished an unexpected and disappointing last, with only Cyprus, Sweden and the UK rewarding him five points between them. So what for Denmark next year? The head of the delegation said they were looking at venues and that there were five possible locations the contest could be held at - hinting it could continue to stay on a smaller scale. With Sweden having now set the ball in motion, the Eurovision Song Contest could soon become a stripped-back Eurovision Song Show. The statement comes as a committee of AMs found the number of stillbirths in Wales to be "unacceptably high" at an average of 180 each year. They say evidence from a one-day inquiry into stillbirths held last June showed 64 babies could be saved each year if Wales could emulate Scandinavian success in reducing the rate. Julia Chandler, national officer for the RCM in Wales, also told BBC News the way foetal growth was measured needed to be standardised, and customised growth charts which made allowances for things like the mother's ethnic group should be rolled out across the country. A study published by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) in January concluded better monitoring of pregnancies including measuring foetal growth, using scans at a later stage and recording the movements of foetuses more accurately could save up to 600 babies a year in the UK. It came two days after the RCM warned a shortage of midwives and a fall in students and any future cuts would risk the quality of services. Ms Chandler said all midwives used tape measures to monitor foetal growth past around 24 weeks of pregnancy. However she said one thing which both midwives and doctors seemed to find very hard to do was to talk to pregnant women about the possibility of stillbirth occurring. A sign that something may be wrong is often a reduction in foetal movements, and getting that investigated promptly can make a difference to the outcome. "What the reduction of midwives will do is reduce the amount of time midwives have with women. You need some continuity with someone so that they trust them," she said. "You need some time with people and it's not the sort of thing you can do if you only have two minutes with them. "It's easier to have a difficult conversation if the mother knows someone. "If you have just met somebody it's difficult to say midway through, 'we need to have a chat about stillbirth'." She said since the inquiry into stillbirths had begun, many people had commented on how common stillbirth was but it was not in the public's consciousness in the way other types of perinatal deaths were. It is the most common form of infant death at around five per 1,000 births, with babies more likely to be stillborn than to die of sudden infant death syndrome (Sids), meningitis or road accidents. Ms Chandler said the Back to Sleep campaign which encouraged parents to put their babies to sleep on their back rather than their stomachs to prevent Sids had "hugely changed" practice, and rates of what was known as cot death had plummeted. "Maybe there ought to be a campaign, but the difficulty is whether you frighten people," she said. "We seem to have been afraid to have that conversation." "However we do screen for all sorts of things that could be health problems like Down's syndrome. It's better to get it out in the open." One suggestion has been to offer blanket screening to all pregnant women at around 35 weeks of pregnancy to pick up on reduced growth that may have been missed by external measuring. However Ms Chandler said there were mixed opinions on that. She said: "It's a huge undertaking. It's bad enough getting people in for one [at 20 weeks]. "We're not really sure that scans are 100% safe because we have only been doing them for 30 years [even though] it seems at the moment that there are no ill-effects. "It's capacity, costs and that as well." She said where they knew there was a risk to the baby, then repeated scanning was recommended because the benefits clearly outweighed the risks, but if a mass screening programme was introduced, plenty of healthy women and babies would be scanned unnecessarily. This country has lived under a state of emergency since November's attacks in Paris. The president announced, just a few hours before the attack in Nice, that the state of emergency would end soon. It will now be extended for another three months. That means police and soldiers on the streets, guarding key buildings. It means scanners and metal arches at some shops and regular bag searches. Security reserves have been called up in support. There are already tighter checks at France's borders as neighbouring countries increase their threat levels. Security services have denied they relaxed after the Euro 2016 football tournament passed off without incident. There has been praise for the relentless job they have done in recent months and for the speed of their reaction in Nice. Intelligence gathering has become better. More information is being shared with and from other countries. Predicting and preventing every attack is impossible - especially the 'lone wolf' radical with no track record. But there are now questions about security services that have not matched the success of their counterparts, for example in the UK. Earlier this month, a report detailed French security failures that allowed last year's attacks. There are in total six intelligence services across the Gendarme, the National Police and local security forces - agencies competing rather than co-operating with each other. Who should track criminals with terrorist sympathies? What happens when they move around this country or transfer to others? Who should foreign intelligence services share their information with? That confusion allowed the terrorists to carry out their attacks unhindered. The report was clear that simply putting more police officers and soldiers on the streets was not the answer. The fact that another attack has happened would seem to prove that. Immigration has a long history here, integration does not. There are large populations from France's former colonies, places like Tunisia. Some feel their religious beliefs are trampled by a secularism that is fiercely guarded. Some see little hope in a nation which denies them a chance of success. The forgotten suburbs that house large numbers of immigrants have erupted into protest and violence in previous years. They are policed by tough units that fail to reflect the communities they control. It is an unhappy mix that can open the way for a minority to be radicalised and moved to violent action. So what should be the way ahead now? What is the right response from the politicians and police chiefs? The French people are being warned they are going to have to live with terrorism for a long time to come. 'Liberte' - freedom - is one of France's founding principles. It was being celebrated as part of Bastille Day when the lorry drove into the crowds on Nice's waterfront. Now it is under threat and must be redefined to meet the challenge of an age of insecurity. The visitors rarely threatened an upset in Lucca after Italy took a grip on the game in the second quarter. Azania Stewart (19) and Chantelle Handy (13) were GB's highest scorers but the team shot the ball poorly in their first game since February. With one game to come, GB are now certain to finish third in Group C, with only the top two able to qualify. GB trailed early on despite a strong start from forward Stewart, who hit their first six points. Italy had to wait until the second quarter for a double-digit lead thanks to the efforts of Cecilia Zandalasini. With top scorer Johannah Leedham attracting heavy, physical marking from the Italians, GB struggled to score in the second quarter, missing all but three of the 16 shots they took. Leedham finished with just eight points, her lowest haul in the qualifying campaign. Trailing 36-23 at half-time, GB showed signs of a comeback in the third quarter with seven points from Handy and then a Leedham-driven 6-0 run reducing the arrears to just six points. But seven points in a row from veteran Laura Macchi, who finished with 23 points to go with the 27 she hit in Manchester a year ago, meant Italy always seemed to have an extra gear available. The fourth quarter saw GB reduce the deficit to 56-47 on Stewart's smooth jumpshot, but Italy closed the game out 15-5 to leave little doubt of their pedigree as unbeaten group leaders. The defeat will again leave the British basketball programme hoping to be spared a cut in funding from the government. "In previous years I've worried way too much about this - I mean, I've cried on TV - but the funding situation is the business side," said Stewart. "My job is here on the court and all I can do is keep the flag flying high and do my job. The rest is for people outside." Stewart said that GB could have benefitted from a practice game before the trip to Italy. "Italy had a prep game beforehand - they played some all-stars, and that worked for them," she said. "For us, we only had four days and it was hard for us to manage. Do you put in a game and risk us travelling while we're still fatigued? You take a risk and our risk was to put in the plays." Find out how to get into basketball with our special guide. GB coach Jose Buceta was not drawn on the treatment Leedham attracted from Italy, which left her frustrated at the officials. "The other teams are aware of her - and this is normal, it's going to happen all the time. It's difficult for her when she plays for GB with all the attention of [opposing] team on her," he said. "She's one of the resources that we have and she is the one who can score so it's normal that she should have the ball. But it's also important that the other players do thing as well - and I'm trying to empower the players to do this." The 35-year-old made 48 appearances for the Latics last season as they were relegated to League One. Warnock, who has two England caps, has also played for Liverpool, Blackburn, Aston Villa, Leeds and Derby. "We always liked him when he played for Derby and obviously at Wigan most recently," boss Nigel Clough told the club website. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Ex-Sgt William McCall said the barrier separating the terraces and pitch was "well made" and "difficult" to remove. The new inquests into the 1989 tragedy have focussed on the death of David Rimmer of Skelmersdale, Lancashire. One of the 38-year-old's friends described being "controlled" by the surging Leppings Lane terrace crowd. Mr Rimmer was one of 96 fans fatally injured in the crush at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989. In a statement written by sales manager Mr Rimmer's wife Linda Kirby, read by his children Paul and Kate, he was described as a "lovely family man who adored his children and wife". Paul and Kate were aged nine and seven respectively at the time of the disaster. The inquests heard Mr Rimmer travelled to Sheffield with Geoff Bridson and arrived outside the ground at about 14:30 BST - 30 minutes before kick-off. They were inside pen four, an enclosure on the Leppings Lane terraces, 10 minutes later. Mr Bridson said the last time he saw his friend alive was when there was a crowd surge. He said: "There was a sort of movement forward and I was moved to the left and Dave and other members of the party went in different directions. I think he went forward slightly. "We lost contact with each other then and I did not see him again." Mr Bridson estimated that they lost contact between 14:45 and 14:50. He said the crowd pressure was initially "uncomfortable" before it "became a lot worse". The jury was shown footage of fans attempting to lift Mr Rimmer, who appeared to be unconscious, out of the enclosure and over the fence at 15:11. The inquests heard former PCs Andrew West and Andrew Justice went into pen four and battled in vain to revive Mr Rimmer on the terraces. Asked about Mr Rimmer's appearance, Mr Justice said: "It didn't look natural, it was not a natural colour." He added that he "ran out breath" while giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and that Sgt William McCall took over. Part of Mr Justice's original 1989 statement was read to the court, in which he recalled how fans and police tried to tear down the fence. It read: "Liverpool fans screaming about fence. We then started pulling at it with bare hands. Bobbies on other side started kicking at it. "Welds started to break. Tore fence open, pass this man out. See ambulance man on the pitch." Also remembering the effort to break the fence down, Mr McCall said: "It was very, very difficult for them at that time. It was very well made, that fencing. "In the situation that they were in, they did keep going until they managed to pull the fencing away, to find a hole big enough to get people through." Footage timed at 15:18 showed police officers on the other side of the fence, carrying Mr Rimmer away from the pen. Rajiv Menon QC, a barrister representing Mr Rimmer's family, asked Mr McCall: "Obviously, if there had been the necessary equipment present to tear that fence down, David could have been removed from that pen very much earlier, couldn't he?" He replied: "Yes, I think that's fair enough." Other officers tried to resuscitate Mr Rimmer on the pitch. The inquests heard he was then carried on a makeshift stretcher to the stadium's gymnasium. The inquests, sitting in Warrington, Cheshire, continue. BBC News: Profiles of all those who died The Real Madrid playmaker curled home a free-kick and then smashed in a second as Spain named no recognised striker. Chelsea's Alvaro Morata came on to add a third from Sergio Ramos' cross. Italy, who had not lost any qualifier since 2006, trail Spain by three points with a much worse goal difference and are likely to be in the play-offs.

Lynch won the world flyweight title in 1935 at the age of 21 but died, aged 33, following a battle with alcoholism. The Remember Benny Lynch Campaign is raising funds for a statue in the city. Former world champion Jim Watt said: "When he got success and a few quid, he didn't change at all." He told BBC Radio Scotland: "He still had the same friends, he still had the same environment. And that's why he is still looked upon as the people's guy, and that may have been part of his downfall, unfortunately, when things turned against him." Commonwealth Games gold medallist Charlie Flynn tweeted a picture of himself with Lynch's championship belt. He said: "Every gym you go to, there's a photo of Benny Lynch because everybody knows Benny Lynch was the man. "You are driving through town and you see big pictures of him on the wall art. "People used to come and watch him shadow boxing - he had this unique style that everybody loved. "You need to be a good boxer, but people like you for who you are. They don't like to see you changing at all." Benny Lynch's son, Bobby, and his granddaughter, Sharon, who both live in Canada, made the trip to Glasgow for the civic reception in the City Chambers on Monday. Mr Lynch said: "He loved the city and the city loves him back. He was a Glasgow boy - he just lived the life." He told BBC Radio Scoland that he would be "more than proud" if a statue of his father was erected by the people of Glasgow. He said: "It would be a tribute to them, that this was a Glasgow boy who grew up and became the champion of the world." The campaign is also being supported by Glasgow Lord Provost Sadie Doherty. Provost Doherty said: "Like Benny Lynch, I grew up in the Gorbals where he's a local hero. So naturally, I'm delighted to lend my support to the Remembering Benny Lynch campaign." An exhibition showcasing Lynch's 1937 World and European championship trophies, boxing gloves, a painting of the boxer by Glasgow artist Robert Millar and associated memorabilia were brought to the City Chambers for the event. The exhibition was unveiled by Jim Watt at the Gorbals Library earlier this year, just streets from where Benny Lynch was born. It was the first time both trophies have been on public show since the boxer's death in 1946. Jim Watt added: "Benny is an inspiration to every sportsman who wore boxing gloves. "He is a true Scottish hero and was our first world champion, proving to everyone that it could be done. "A statue for Benny is long overdue and I will do everything I can to make it happen."

The company said it was investing more than £1m in the move, following a "robust" financial year which saw turnover rise from £11.2m to £12m. The new office will accommodate the 40 staff and partners who are already based in the city. Campbell Dallas said it planned to increase staffing in Perth to about 50 over the next two years. Overall staff numbers have risen to more than 200. The firm cited a programme of continued investment as key to a successful year. Chairman Ian Williams said: "2016 was a solid year for us and we are continuing to win increasing amounts of work across the business this year, with healthcare, rural and family business sectors performing particularly well." Major transactions during the year included advising brewer Innis & Gunn on its acquisition of Inveralmond Distillery and providing acquisition support to building services firm Morris and Spottiswood in the purchase of Lled Construction. It also acquired established Kilmarnock-based accountancy firm W White & Co, in order to further develop business in the Ayrshire market. Mr Williams added that the firm would continue its strategy of investing for the future. At 60 years old, she's much older than your typical budding entrepreneur. Yet in her home country of Thailand she was the first person willing to take a chance on an industry still in its infancy - solar power. In fact, she was so convinced of the sector's potential that she came out of retirement to set up her own company. Thailand, forced to shift away from once-plentiful natural gas reserves, was for the first time ever offering to buy back solar power from private firms. With enough free time to look into the numbers, and having previously had some experience in the use of solar energy in rural areas, Ms Khunchornyakong felt instinctively that the sector offered a compelling opportunity. Yet when she started trying to fund her first solar project, not a single bank was willing to lend her the money, as none of them believed it could be a profitable business. In frustration she issued an ultimatum to a Thai bank that sported a green logo to indicate support of environmental projects. She insisted that if the bank was not willing to lend her the money it would have to change the colour of its logo. "He really didn't want to change the colour of the bank so he agreed to start talking. That's the way I can convince the management to at least listen." Eventually the bank gave her a loan for 60% of the start-up costs, leaving her to find the other 40%. The newness of solar power in the country meant none of her friends who had invested in her previous business ventures were willing to lend her money so she was forced to use her house as collateral to provide the initial equity to get the business off the ground. Once the first project proved successful she had a real-life example of how the business worked and the potential profits, helping her secure the help of the World Bank to get further funding to rapidly expand. Ms Khunchornyakong is now chief executive and chairwoman of the largest solar power firm in Thailand, SPCG. The company she founded has created thousands of jobs and runs 36 solar farms, generating some 260 megawatts of solar power a year. But what on earth made her take on such a risk when she was comfortably retired? She says it was simply her conviction that the business was a good idea. "You have to believe in your own thinking and if you don't believe your own thinking who else will believe you?" It's a lesson she believes anyone, particularly women, can learn from, noting too many are afraid to take a public risk. Yet in Thailand it seems many women already do. Senior successful high-flying women like Ms Khunchornyakong are far more common than in many other places in the world. In fact, almost a third of senior business roles in the country are held by females, according to accountancy firm Grant Thornton's recent study. The report puts Thailand well above its developed rivals such as the UK, US and Australia in which around a fifth of senior business roles are held by women. Chadatip Chutrakul, another female Thai chief executive who runs Siam Piwat, a huge shopping mall and real estate enterprise in Thailand, says that historically the country has long treated women and men equally. "Five hundred years ago we also saved the country together with the men. So that is how it has been carried on. "If you have good education and if you can prove yourself in everything that you do then there is no limitation. You can move forward in your career." Ho Ren Hua, chief executive of Thai Wah Group, a large food products business with operations across Asia, also credits the country's historical roots for its higher level of equality in business compared to many other countries. He notes that Thailand has long had strong, assertive females, and that many Thai men are therefore comfortable reporting to a female supervisor. "I think there are strong principles on mutual respect, and maybe it translates to the fundamental history of Thailand with the role of Buddhism and the role of the monarchy that there's a big adherence to mutual respect." It's a level of equality that firms in other countries are now trying to copy. Ahmed Fahour, boss of Australia Post, has made a big effort to improve the number of senior women at the firm since he took the helm in 2010. Like many postal services that have seen the number of letters sent decline sharply as people use email instead, the biggest part of its business is now parcels driven by online shopping. With 70% of online purchases made by women he says having more females in senior positions isn't just about fairness, it makes business sense. "Having a bunch of blokes is not really a smart idea. It is pathetic that we are in the year 2016 and we are having this conversation when there is roughly 50% women, 50% men, and at the same time that is not reflected in the leadership of major corporations." There is already a whole host of research to support Mr Fahour's view. Newswire Thomson Reuters found a strong link between mixed gender boards and a better performance for shareholders when it analysed boardroom diversity at 4,100 listed firms and measured their performance between 2008 and 2013. And Swiss bank Credit Suisse, which looked at the performance of 3,000 companies around the world, concluded that those businesses with at least one woman on the board outperformed those with no women by an average of 2% a year between 2012 and 2014. When Mr Fahour started at the firm just 19% of management positions were held by women. Now it's 37%. "We decided talking about it is not good enough," he says. "Just do it." This feature is based on interviews by CEO coach and author Steve Tappin for the BBC's CEO Guru series, produced by Neil Koenig. Mingfei Ma married Yuchen Li a few weeks before he boarded the airliner. He had just received his engineering doctorate from Cambridge University, where she is still a student. His widow said the discovery of debris believed to be from the Malaysian Airways plane had not brought families any closer to knowing what happened. She told BBC Look East: "I strongly disagree with the Malaysian authorities who said the discovery of debris is 'closure' for the families. "It's not even the beginning of closure - it is just the beginning." The aircraft, which had 239 people onboard, was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8 March 2014 when air traffic control staff lost contact. For more than a year Dr Li's widow continued to hope the man she married in February 2014 was still alive, but on 29 July airliner debris was found washed up on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion. The Malaysian authorities believe it is from the missing aeroplane, but French experts examining the finds have stopped short of confirming the link. Dr Li's wife, who returned to Churchill College in Cambridge in October to continue her doctorate in architecture, said: "It's not only about finding the plane, it's about why it was there. "I do want to find a reason for the crash and the authorities need to put more effort into the investigation." She paid tribute to her "amazing" husband, who received his engineering doctorate from Churchill College in January 2014. Dr Li was flying to Beijing to begin a new job and to support his wife's family, with the intention that she would join him in China following her graduation. She said she was "so grateful" but she would "always regret" the decision. . The report interviewed 50 families and found that, on average, their children had lost two years of school. The main issues facing the children are language barriers, financial difficulties and integration problems. There are around two million Syrian refugees living in Turkey, 708,000 of whom are of school age. The Turkish government formally granted Syrian children access to public schools in a 2014 policy. One of the barriers facing Syrians is a lack of information about this policy, Human Rights Watch (HRW) says. "Failing to provide Syrian children with education puts an entire generation at risk," said Stephanie Gee, Bernstein fellow in the refugee rights programme at HRW. "With no real hope for a better future, desperate Syrian refugees may end up putting their lives on the line to return to Syria or take dangerous journeys to Europe." The campaign group has called for "urgent financial and technical support" from the international community, warning that failure to act would have "a ruinous effect" on a generation of Syrians. The pair are reunited at Ashton Gate, with Smith previously playing under Johnson at Oldham Athletic where he started his managerial career. Oldham avoided the League One drop under Johnson in 2013, having taken over with the Latics 21st in the table with 10 games remaining. "He saved us from relegation and I know he can do it here too," said Smith. "We had a good time at Oldham and I am looking forward to working with him again." Smith, 25, left Johnson's Oldham for Bristol City in 2014 on a three-year deal. Former Norwich City trainee Smith helped the Robins to the League One title and the Johnstone's Paint Trophy last term, but they sit 21st in England second-tier competition after 30 games. Johnson, 34, who spent six years at Bristol City as a player between 2006 to 2012, was appointed as Bristol City head coach before their 1-0 win at Charlton Athletic last week and takes charge of his first game against Ipswich on Saturday. The Robins are in search of back-to-back wins for the first time this season. "He will want us to attack, get in the box and get shots on goal," Smith told BBC Radio Bristol. "I think he will be a brilliant fit and he really loves the football club. "He always said that he wanted to get the job at Bristol City one day. "His communication skills and player management skills are very good. I think it is a brilliant decision by the board. He is a young, hungry manager." Designs for combat aircraft, ships and missile defences were among those compromised, a Pentagon paper found, the Washington Post reported. A public version of the same Defense Science Board report said in January that the US was unprepared for a full-scale cyber attack. A Pentagon spokesman said "intrusions" had not eroded its technological edge. The Defense Science Board did not return requests for comment from the BBC. The Washington Post report comes as Australia discloses Chinese hackers stole floor plans for the new headquarters of its domestic intelligence agency. The compromised US designs include those for advanced Patriot missile systems called PAC-3, an Army anti-missile system known as Thaad, and the Navy's Aegis ballistic-missile defence system, according to the Washington Post. The F/A-18 fighter jet, V-22 Osprey aircraft, Black Hawk helicopter and the Navy's new Littoral Combat Ship were also compromised. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the most expensive weapons system ever built, was also cited on the list. The reports do not describe the extent of the theft, but correspondents say the hack could give China information that could be used against the US in the event of a conflict. In a statement, US defence department spokesman George Little said the Pentagon maintained "full confidence in our weapons platforms". "The Department of Defense takes the threat of cyber espionage and cyber security very seriously, which is why we have taken a number of steps to increase funding to strengthen our capabilities," he said. "Suggestions that cyber intrusions have somehow led to the erosion of our capabilities or technological edge are incorrect." Images from Pyongyang showed ranks of thousands of officials at a ceremony to commemorate Mr Kim. His son, Kim Jong-un, inherited the leadership after his death in 2011. Last week, he presided over the execution of Chang Song-thaek, his uncle and a powerful figure seen by outside observers as his mentor. Mr Chang was accused of multiple crimes, state media said, including forming a power base and attempting to overthrow the state. Meanwhile, North Korea has cleared much of the archive on the website of the state news agency and main party newspaper - amid concern it is trying to manipulate the historical record. A search for Chang Song-thaek brought up only one article in which he is vilified as a traitor and counter-revolutionary. Almost all articles published before October this year have disappeared from the archives. Mr Chang's image has already been edited out of a documentary that has been shown frequently on North Korea's state television network. On Tuesday, residents laid flowers at monuments to both Kim Jong-il and his father, Kim Il-sung, North Korea's first leader. Kim Jong-il, who ruled North Korea for almost two decades, died on 17 December 2011. North Korean media have been using the anniversary to portray the country's ruling elite as being united around leader Kim Jong-un following the execution of his uncle, Chang Song-thaek. Among other crimes, Chang was found guilty of forming his own power base. State media continue to describe Kim Jong-un as the "supreme commander" and "beloved leader". But it is their insistence on describing him as the "unitary centre of unity" that is particularly noticeable. The official news agency, KCNA, says the armed forces hold Kim Jong-un in "high esteem as the unitary centre of unity and leadership" and pledge to "protect him with their lives". The phrase was repeated by Kim Yong-nam, North Korea's ceremonial head of state, and Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the Korean Workers' Party. Another element being stressed by the media is the leader's descent from state founder Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. "The Mount Paektu bloodline is and should be the North's eternal bloodline," says Rodong Sinmun. Pyongyang's propaganda describes Mount Paektu as the "sacred birthplace" of Kim Jong-il. Compiled by BBC Monitoring On Tuesday, his third son and chosen successor Kim Jong-un attended a ceremony to remember his father. The young leader wore a sombre expression, the BBC's Lucy Williamson reports from Seoul. She says the ceremony, in a large hall, was as much about the current leader as the old one. Kim Jong-un sat on the podium flanked by North Korea's ceremonial head of state, Kim Yong-nam, and the head of the army. "All our people and soldiers have struggled and achieved victory for the past two years by holding our great leader [Kim Jong-il] in high esteem," Kim Yong-nam said in his speech. On Monday, thousands of North Korean soldiers lined up in front of the state mausoleum to pledge their allegiance to Kim Jong-un. The South Korean president, meanwhile, held a meeting of top security officials, warning of possible "provocations" from North Korea in the wake of the purge of Mr Chang and his aides. His sudden fall from grace and rapid execution have sparked fears of instability inside North Korea. Mr Chang, who was married to the elder Mr Kim's sister, was thought to have facilitated the transfer of power from father to son two years ago. It was also widely believed that he was highly influential behind the scenes. Kim Jong-il (d) Kim Kyung-hee Chang Song-thaek (d) Kim Jong-nam Kim Sul-song Kim Jong-chul Kim Jong-un Ri Sol-ju Kim Han-sol Kim Jong-il was one of the most secretive leaders in the world.Tales from dissidents and past aides created an image of an irrational, power-hungry man who allowed his people to starve while he enjoyed dancing girls and cognac. But a different picture was painted by Sung Hae-rim, the sister of one of his former partners in her memoir, The Wisteria House. She describes a devoted father and a sensitive, charismatic individual, although she admits even those closest to him were fearful of him. North Korean media depicted him as a national hero, whose birth to the country's founder, Kim Il-sung, was marked by a double rainbow and a bright star. The youngest sister of the late Kim Jong-il and the wife of the man formerly regarded as the second most powerful figure in North Korea, Chang Song-thaek. She has held a wide range of important Workers' Party positions including being a member of the all-powerful Central Committee. Her promotion to four-star general made Kim Kyung-hee the first North Korean woman ever to achieve such status. Analysts say Kim Kyung-hee and her husband were seen as mentors for the new leader Kim Jong-un when he came to power in 2011. But news of her husband's execution in December 2013 suggests the most significant upheaval in North Korea's leadership since Mr Kim succeeded his father. Chang Song-thaek was married to Kim Kyung-hee, the younger sister of the late Kim Jong-il. When the inexperienced Kim Jong-un became the new leader in 2011, the couple were widely thought to be acting as his mentors. In December 2013, the powerful uncle - who sat on the country's top military body - was denounced by the state-run news agency for corruption. Images were shown of him being removed from a Politburo meeting by uniformed guards. He was then executed. Mr Chang's execution is the biggest upheaval in North Korea's leadership since Mr Kim succeeded his father. Kim Jong-nam, 39, is Kim Jong-il's eldest son. Sung Hae-rang, the sister of Kim Jong-nam's deceased mother Sung Hae-rim, has written in her memoir that Kim Jong-il was extremely fond of Kim Jong-nam and was pained to be away from him. Like his half-brothers, Kim Jong-nam studied at an international school in Switzerland. His chances of succession appeared to be ruined when, in 2001, Japanese officials caught him trying to sneak into Japan using a false passport. He told officials that he was planning to visit Tokyo Disneyland. Some analysts argued that he may have been forgiven by his father, as there is precedent for the regime reinstating disgraced figures after a period of atonement. Confucian tradition also favours the oldest son. But in a rare interview while on a trip to China last year, Kim Jong-nam said he had "no interest" in succeeding his father. Kim Sul-song, 36, is Kim Jong-il's daughter born to his first wife, Kim Young-sook. Reports say she has worked in the country's propaganda department, with responsibility for literary affairs. One South Korean report said she had also served as her father's secretary. Kim Jong-chul, 29, studied at an international school in Switzerland. He works in the WKP propaganda department. His mother, Ko Yong-hui, is said to have been the North Korean leader's favourite consort. However, Kenji Fujimoto, the pseudonym of a Japanese sushi chef who spent 13 years cooking for Kim Jong-il, has written that the leader considered his second son "no good because he is like a little girl". Kim Jong-un, the second son of Kim Jong-il and his late wife Ko Yong-hui, was anointed "the great successor" by Pyongyang. Like his older brothers, he is thought to have been educated abroad. A Japanese sushi chef who worked for Kim Jong-il for 13 years up to 2001 said that he "resembled his father in every way, including his physical frame". Speculation that he was being groomed to succeed his father had been rife for years. Since taking power, he has presided over a long-range missile test, North Korea's third nuclear test and most recently the execution of his uncle, Chang Song-thaek. Ri Sol-ju was introduced as Kim Jong-un's wife in state media reports about the opening of an amusement park in July 2012. Reports simply said he attended the event with his wife, "Comrade Ri Sol-ju". Little more is known about Ri Sol-Ju, although there has been much speculation about her background since pictures first emerged of Kim Jong-un with an unidentified woman. There is a North Korean singer of the same name, but she is not now thought to be the same person. State media did not mention when the couple got married. The grandson of Kim Jong-il and nephew of leader Kim Jong-un has said he wants to "make things better" for the people of his country. Kim Han-sol, 17, spoke of his dreams of reunification of the two Koreas in an television interview in Bosnia, where he is studying. Kim Han-sol said he had never met his grandfather or uncle. He described an isolated childhood spent mostly in Macau and China, after his birth in Pyongyang in 1995. In the future, he said he pictured himself going to university and then ''volunteering somewhere''. 21 June 2017 Last updated at 15:24 BST It is found in tropical waters and these amazing pictures have been taken at a beach in Australia.

She says there is a responsibility on all unionists and that her party must "reflect on what we can do to remove barriers from people voting for us". Mrs O'Neill tells the paper "it is in our strategic interests to have power sharing restored, but only on the correct basis". She says that without a "fundamental change in the approach of the British government, there can be no progress". As well as Arlene Foster's dismissal of a revolt in the DUP ranks, the Irish News reports again on the health of Martin McGuinness and the thoughts of Presbyterian clergyman David Latimer. Dr Latimer says he has texted a copy of a prayer for hope to Mr McGuinness, who has spent two weeks in Altnagelvin Hospital, and the paper says Sinn Féin has denied he is suffering from a genetic condition. The Irish News also says an update on the progress of the public inquiry into the botched Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme (RHI) is expected in the coming days. A spokesperson for the inquiry said its website will go live "by the end of this week" and that Sir Patrick Coghlin, the judge chairing the probe, will provide details on how it will proceed. The BBC Crimewatch appeal by a police officer shot during an attack at a petrol station in north Belfast in January makes the front page of the Daily Mirror. 'Get deadly AK47 off our streets" is the headline, with the constable who was injured in the Crumlin Road attack saying he is sure he will meet the people who shot him when he returns to duty. "My priority is to be fit enough to get back to work and keep people as safe as I can," he says. "In the meantime, I would ask everyone to search their consciences and if they have the slightest inkling about who was involved in trying to kill me, then please come forward." The Mirror also covers the Independent Financial Review Panel (IFRP) letter to Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire asking that all payments to MLAs should be limited to a three-month period if direct rule becomes necessary. The News Letter reports that Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill admits he would be "tempted" if Premier League champions Leicester City came calling following the departure of their Italian boss Claudio Ranieri. "You have to consider these things if the opportunity is presented to you," O'Neill said. "I don't think you can ever say 'no' in football but equally I'm not actively looking for another job." Meanwhile, anyone who has had their fill of election coverage over the last week, will empathise with 108-year-old Ellie Lawther who is pictured celebrating her latest birthday in the Belfast Telegraph. Ellie, residing at St Finnian's House on the Cregagh Road in east Belfast, is believed to be the oldest person living in Northern Ireland. But House manager Geraldine Maguire said that despite the great-grandmother's interest in current events, she could only take so much. "On the voting, she said she was tired listening about it," Ms Maguire added. The 25-year-old played in 17 Tests for the All Blacks between 2013 and 2015. The former Wasps player arrived at Pro14 side Ulster in 2016 after playing for Super Rugby outfit Auckland Blues. "It's a massive signing for us. We talked him through our vision and that really excited Charles," Bristol head coach Pat Lam told BBC Radio Bristol. But Lam rejected reports that Piutau will be paid £1m per year during his time at Bristol, adding: "Certainly that's off the mark. "Every team has a salary cap and their budget. The great thing with Bristol is that it's always operated beneath the salary cap. We have good ownership and a good board and they're very supportive of the plans for the squad that I want to build." During his debut season for Ulster, Piutau made 23 appearances and was their joint-top try scorer with nine tries. "It was a very hard decision as I have really enjoyed my first year at Ulster," Piutau told his current club's website. "The welcome that I had and the way I have been looked after has been the best of any club I've been at. The management and players really made me feel part of the family and that will make it extremely hard to leave when the time comes." "The biggest consideration in my decision to join Bristol is the opportunity to play with my brother Siale, as he approaches the end of his career. It will also be great to work with Steven Luatua and Pat Lam again." His performances last season for Ulster earned him the Pro12 Player of the Year and the Ulster Player of the Year awards. Ulster's operations director, Bryn Cunningham said that the province were unable to match Bristol's offer for the player. "It is disappointing that Charles is moving on, but salaries for the world's best players are rising year-on-year and are ultimately determined by what one club is prepared to pay for an individual," Cunningham said. "We have a strong commercial programme in place and that has allowed us to attract top overseas players and to retain our best home-grown talent in what is a hugely competitive market. Our strategy is to continue to recruit world class players in the seasons ahead." His work follows in the footsteps of some of the most celebrated photographers of the past, including Bill Brandt, Tony Ray Jones, Tom Wood and of course Martin Parr. Dench can trace his inspiration back to his time spent flicking through books by those and others, such as Greg Leach and Paul Reas while studying at the Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design. "If you could travel the world, make people laugh and make people think, that was a fine way to live; if you could do it with a drink in your hand, that was the life for me," Peter recalls. "It was a revelation to understand that a photographer didn't have to get on a plane to a far-flung conflict; you could just climb aboard the bus." He has in fact jumped aboard many planes in his time having worked in more than 50 countries as a photographer for a wide range of clients, from The British Heart Foundation to Weetabix, as well as editorial outlets like The New York Times, Newsweek, Observer Magazine and many more. Growing up beside the sea Peter found himself drawn to Martin Parr's ground breaking, and indeed controversial look at the seaside resort of New Brighton. The Last Resort re-wrote the rules for photographers, placed colour photography in the UK on the map and even now, more than 25 years on it still has the power to shock and amuse all at the same time. "The first colours I saw were saturated; striped deck chairs, arcade rides, Punch and Judy. The Last Resort echoed a familiar world from my youth, a saturated slap about the face, colours that burned a permanent impression directly onto the retina," Peter told me. "Working on foreign assignments across the globe has clarified to me just how different, how fabulous, and at times, how ridiculous the English are." His book, England Uncensored, reflects this view. Yet it is not simply a compilation of clever photographs, there is a voice within the work, one that offers a social commentary. On seeing some of the early work for the project his editor pushed him to move away from pictures that were just humorous, and include those that had an anthropological angle. The result of this was Drinking of England, a series first published across 11 pages in The Sunday Times Magazine and which went on to win a World Press Photo Award. "Galvanized by the project's success, I've been conscious of continuing to apply the humorous approach with an underlying social commentary to themes throughout the work; themes of ethnicity, love, the weather, clothing and food," Peter said. "The humour disarms viewers allowing the impact of a more serious image dropped into the sequence to be tenfold. "It was important for my photography on the English to document what was familiar from my youth and also to document what I had no idea about; posh schools, social summer events, jollies and jamborees; to create a rounded look at the English both geographically and socially." "The colours and style of my work is largely born out of laziness and fear. I was always petrified of 'pushing' film, preferring to blast subjects with the flash to make sure something scarred the film. I also prefer shooting in the sunshine, not too early and not too late; unless it's in a pub or club." And here we have to return to Martin Parr and his influence. Peter is open about this, and in November last year returned to New Brighton to follow in his footsteps. "I made a Parr pilgrimage to New Brighton to see what had changed or had remained the same. I stood knees bent in the exact spot where Parr had photographed two children dribbling ice cream in front of a weather shelter. Peter Dench's New Brighton Revisited "Rarely does a day go by in my professional life when Parr isn't mentioned by, or to me. It's impossible to photograph England without seeing Parr parts in many shots; crying children, litter, dogs with their tongues hanging out, bad food, bad weather. As a photographer I embrace that influence. I would like to think I would have arrived at the style of photography I have regardless of Parr; he certainly hastened the process and blazed a path for its acceptance as a photographic way of seeing. "Leaving New Brighton, having walked in Parr's footsteps, confirmed why I will always be a photographer and why I will always document the English; to photograph what is real, to record the present in an attempt to preserve the nation's past." You might think this is a niche interest, yet England Uncensored is to be published as a book by the publishing arm of the crowd-funded visual journalism platform Emphas.is. The response to this call for funding was swift with $12,000 pledged in 15 days. "It was important for the work to be published in Jubilee year," Peter said. "England Uncensored is a laugh out loud romp through this often badly behaved nation, it is not an idealized brochure of a green and pleasant land. In this Jubilee year of Great British pomp, where the media coverage is expected to be as polished as the crown jewels, it is important for us as a nation to remember who we really are, warts and all." You can see more of Peter Dench's work on his website. Here, he explains how a picture of his dog went viral, his passion for wildlife, and how he is enjoying being anonymous. "Everybody knows my Dilly shot, says Villager Jim. "I think it is one of the most viewed Labrador pictures in the world." He said the photo came about after his dog came back from a walk and was "nodding off" in a chair at their Peak District home. "I had just bought a new lens and was resting it on my hands," he said. "Like a kid with a new toy." "So, I took a photo and that one picture has changed my life." The picture of Dilly first went viral after it was used in a story claiming she belonged to an American marine who had served in Iraq and Afghanistan. "It is totally made up," says Villager Jim, "But it got to the point where I just couldn't do anything about it - it was appearing on hundreds of internet sites. "So, I thought I would look at it positively - it's more people looking at my pictures." Villager Jim said the idea of keeping his real identity a secret started as a bit of a laugh. He said the landlord of his local would point him out to tourists as the photographer who took the Dilly picture and other images in a book displayed at the pub. Jim said he wanted to be able to enjoy a "quiet pint" without being disturbed - so came up with the idea of the name. The 50-year-old, who prefers to remain out of the limelight, said: "Amazingly, there is only one person - who I won't name - who put my details out there - and he was another photographer." Villager Jim, who was likened to Banksy when he appeared on the BBC's Countryfile show, has recently made the headlines for campaigning against a planned deer cull near his home. He said: "It's a funny thing - it wasn't meant to be a campaign - I just realised it was something where I wanted to put my head above the parapet and say what I thought. "I'm lucky to have a bit of a following on Facebook and although normally I like to keep it light-hearted, with the cull of the deer at Curbar, it hit a chord and I felt I should say something." The campaign has attracted the support of almost 9,000 people to date. The photographer said: "I'm not political and am no expert on conservation, but I just thought there had to be a more humane way." He said: "I like to take pictures that make people smile - I get people who can't get out saying it's lovely to see the countryside come to them." He puts his success down to a combination of the viral photo of Dilly, being lucky enough to have an abundance of wildlife near his home and his anonymity. "I don't think most people want to know who I am," he said. "That, together with the pictures and titles, make up what Villager Jim is about, I think." He added: "We are an absolute nation of animal lovers - there is this annoyance that everything in the news is negative and people just want to escape for a bit." Villager Jim, who is originally from Sheffield, moved to the Peak District about 12 years ago, and only took up photography at his current home about eight years ago. He said: "I'd never picked up a camera until I moved here. I live on a farm and my inspiration was seeing the wildlife everywhere." The photographer used to sell wallpaper on Portobello Market and later ran a software company, when he became ill. He said: "I didn't realise for a number of years I was diabetic - so I ended up with this knackering illness that destroyed all my leg nerves and I was six months in bed. "I lay there thinking if I ever get better 'I'm bloody well going to do what I want to do with my life' - so I did." "And, amazingly luckily it's taken off," he said. Villager Jim - whose real identity is known only to his close friends and family - said he intended to remain anonymous and "let his pictures do the talking" for as long as he could. Even among the people who know him, he likes to take a back seat, adding he was thankful his daughter celebrated her 18th birthday on the same day he turned 50. The result means Britain finish seventh in the eight-strong competition after a 2-1 quarter-final loss to New Zealand eliminated them on Thursday. Nicola White scored twice, with other goals coming from Ellie Watton, Hannah Macleod and Helen Richardson-Walsh. Britain's women had already secured their place at the 2016 Rio Olympics in the summer. Before the match, a minute's silence was held for young player Tom Wilson, who died after a freak accident in training in the UK earlier in the week. Britain had expected to challenge for a medal in Rosario after securing Olympic qualification and then winning European gold - as England - in August. But although clearly disappointed by their early exit, GB played with freedom and never looked under any real threat from South Korea. White drove GB into the lead in the first quarter, striking the ball between the keeper's legs following impressive build-up play from Hollie Webb and Watton. Alex Danson, who won her 250th international cap earlier in the tournament, produced a dazzling dribble before the break to create an open goal for Watton - who doubled GB's advantage. Danson was instrumental in Britain's third with Macleod's nifty flick guiding the ball over the line early in the third quarter. White grabbed her second by deflecting captain Kate Richardson-Walsh's penalty corner in the final quarter. Helen Richardson-Walsh then completed GB's scoring with a penalty stroke before Korea grabbed a consolation. Germany play New Zealand and Argentina face China in the semi-finals later on Saturday. Two-goal hero Nicola White told BBC Sport: "We were so disappointed not to win that quarter-final, but we re-grouped really well and were dominant out there which is exactly what we wanted. "It is important going into next year that we really review what's happened here and hopefully put things right at our next tournament." Crista Cullen, who made her GB return at the tournament after retiring three years ago, added: "It was important to go out there and show people what we're truly about. "South Korea are a counter-attacking team so you have to be resilient throughout the 60 minutes and testament to the girls they did that and got the 5-1 scoreline." Media playback is not supported on this device For most people the logos of such firms immediately connect our minds to the business in question, without the need to see its name. Think of the golden arches of a popular fast-food chain, or the apple with a bite taken out of it representing a certain computer company. This type of instant recognition is the holy grail for a business. Which is why the world's multinational companies can spend millions on their logos - like UK oil group BP, which back in 2000 spent £136m introducing its current sunflower design. Other firms of a similar size, whose logo is simply their name written out in a stylised way, can spend hundreds of thousands on a new font, or a different colour. But how easy is it for a business to pick a good logo, and how important is it at the end of the day? If you are presented with a design for your company logo that is immediately likeable and resonates with your values, you might be wise to take a long hard look at it, bin it, and start again. That's the opinion of Sagi Haviv, partner at New York graphic design firm Chermayeff & Geismer & Haviv (CGH). "It's never love at first sight," he says. "A good logo, a good trademark, gains meaning and power over time." CGH has been responsible for some of the most recognisable US business logos of the past 50 years, such as Chase Bank, National Geographic, Mobile, NBC and HarperCollins. But Mr Haviv says some of the firms' clients had to be dragged kicking and screaming towards accepting what have since become some of the world's best-known logos. "We remind our clients - and we open every presentation with a slide that says - it's never love at first sight," he says. A recent presentation by CGH for a large corporation was a case in point. The chief executive, says Mr Haviv, could live with any of the six designs apart from number two. "Two hours later at the end of the presentation, he wanted number two and he wouldn't hear of anything else," says Mr Haviv. "This is why the relationship between the client and the designer is extremely important." For Mr Haviv there are three essentials to a good business logo: it must be appropriate to the business; it must be memorable; and it must be uncomplicated in form. "And here I'd add a fourth," he says, "which is that the concept must be original." Deciding whether to change a logo is also a difficult decision, as clothing giant Gap can affirm. Back in the autumn of 2010, it unveiled a new logo, switching from writing its name in upper case to lower case letters, and introducing a small blue square behind the letter "p". Such was the public outcry that a week later Gap did an about turn and scrapped the change. Mr Haviv says: "Gap's original logo was loved by its audience, but it didn't know it." One business which has successfully changed its logo is fast-growing London publishing company Ink. "The [current] logo was designed approximately seven years ago - it wasn't the first logo for the company, it was the third incarnation," says Ink's creative solutions director Jonny Clark. "The reason to create the logo at the time was that the company was expanding. "It had gone from a relatively small business to a small-to-medium sized business, and we wanted to embrace the fact that we weren't just doing [physical] print anymore, but digital work as well." So the word "publishing" was dropped from the old logo and the ring of colour that surrounds the word Ink was tweaked to add the tones of the RGB colour wheel that is the basis of digital printing. Mr Clark adds: "We didn't have a branding department and the change was done internally by the design team we had working for us. "There wasn't a lot of red tape to go through. In total, the process took between two-to-four months." While Ink cannot quantify the impact of the logo change, over the past seven years the firm has expanded overseas, adding offices in Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Melbourne, New York, Sao Paulo, Shanghai and Singapore. So the new logo certainly didn't hinder the business. Martin Christie, of the London-based logo design firm Alchemist, says that simplicity is key. But he also cautions that firms shouldn't rush into a decision. He says: "It's common sense to spend time on your logo - it's the first thing that people see; it's the look of your company; and it's going to reflect what you do." For Robert Jones, professor of branding at the University of East Anglia, a good logo will successfully express a company's values. He says: "Your logo is how people recognise you, and it helps express how you're different from your rivals - warmer, greener, stronger, and so on. "And people need an image to look at. As Aristotle said, 'the soul cannot think without an image'. "But [at the same time], people assess you not on the strength of your logo, but on the quality of your product or service. So all of that real stuff matters more." Midlands-based independent brand consultant Rebecca Battman agrees that no matter how good a logo's design is, it will only be successful if the company itself is trusted. "A logo is a simple and functional signpost to help people find and indentify your business," she says. "But for a logo to be successful, the company behind it must be a respected and trusted brand. "A logo won't allow a company to build a respected brand on its own." Additional reporting by Will Smale. 4 November 2016 Last updated at 15:42 GMT What are we talking about?

Best of luck, Mr Oduba! Towell, 25, died in hospital on 30 September, the day after his bout with Welshman Evans in Glasgow. Almost six months on, Evans has revealed a meeting with Towell's mother gave him the strength to carry on. "I did not want to be seen. I did not even feel like going out," he told Jason Mohammad on BBC Radio Wales. Evans, 25, has returned to training and hopes to fight again in May, but initially struggled to come to terms with what happened. He said all he was worried about was Towell's family, including partner Chloe and son Rocco. "I was just in the house, in my bedroom, I was struggling to eat," he said. "My heart was broken by what happened that night and I cried for days and days. "I was low, but it was not about me. I didn't want it to be about me, that's why I couldn't go out." Towell was knocked down twice by Evans before the referee stopped their fight. And Evans said a meeting with his opponent's mother Tracey at the Scot's funeral was a turning point for him. "It was frightening," he said. "I didn't know what reception I would get. "I was so glad I went because the reception I got, not only from his family, but friends of Mike and the Scottish people in general was so supportive. "I came out of the chapel and walked down the steps and a car pulled up and Mike's mum got out. She gave me a big hug and a kiss and she said: 'Stop being silly.' "I admire the strength of that woman." Evans was due to fight for the Welsh welterweight title last weekend, but had to pull out with an elbow injury. He is now hoping to return to the ring in May, and wants to fight for the British title as the mandatory challenger. Evans wants to win that belt not just for himself, but for Towell too, and his family. "They asked that when I fight for the British title they can purchase tickets off me and come and support me," he said. "I think that is fantastic. Now, when I go to fight, it won't only be for me, it will be for Mike too." His death was confirmed by the University of Essex where he taught government from 1966. Prof King was a regular commentator on British elections and helped the BBC with its coverage for 20 years. BBC broadcaster David Dimbleby said: "It's very sad news, completely unexpected to me. Tony King was passionate about the way government worked, he was extraordinary." Dimbleby, the BBC's general election coverage anchor for nearly 40 years, added: "He also played a public role. He was on the committee for standards in public life, on a committee on reform of the House of Lords, so he was sort of embedded, in the way we do our politics. "We used to have lunch every so often in between elections to talk about how things were going and he was always absolutely fascinating." Born in Canada, Prof King moved to the UK in the 1950s and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, where he gained a doctorate in politics. He went on to become one of Britain's leading experts in the political sciences and wrote extensively on the people and trends that have shaped Parliament over the past 50 years. His works included the history of the Social Democratic Party, Margaret Thatcher's leadership style and the rise of the career politician. Baroness Shirley Williams, a close friend of Prof King, said: "Tony was one of the finest political scientists of his generation and his loss will be keenly felt by those of us who knew and worked with him". He was best known as a populariser of politics and electoral trends; he analysed opinion polls for the Daily Telegraph for many years and was the BBC's analyst on its election night coverage from 1983 to 2005. The Guardian's associate editor, Martin Kettle, wrote: "Death this morning of Anthony King, Essex professor, BBC psephologist, prolific writer, husband of Jan, most generous of friends." Peter Riddell, the commissioner for public appointments and a former political journalist, wrote: "#tonyking bridged the worlds of academia, the media and public policy, always stimulating company with fresh insights." University of Essex vice-chancellor Prof Anthony Forster said: "Prof Anthony King was a giant of political science and one of the University of Essex's longest-serving members of staff, joining us in 1966 just two years after the university opened. "An inspirational teacher, a great political thinker and a brilliant writer, Professor King analysed politics in books and on television with incredible intelligence, insight and wit." Close friend and colleague Prof David Sanders, the university's regius professor of political science, said: "Tony was the intellectual heart of the Department of Government at Essex. "His facility for making complex arguments accessible to audiences of all kinds was unparalleled. His personal kindness was immense. I will miss him more than I can say." The 25-year-old has scored 44 goals in 88 appearances for Leeds since joining from Leicester City on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee in July 2015. The New Zealand international will have a medical with the Premier League club on Sunday, with the deal expected to be completed early next week. Wood ruled himself out of Leeds' match against Sunderland on Saturday. "Due to strong interest from a Premier League team, the ongoing discussions with the club, and given it has always been my ambition to play at the highest level, I don't feel it is right that I play today," he posted on Twitter. Wood has turned out three times for Leeds this term, scoring one goal. Media playback is not supported on this device "I don't really know where I'd be without it," she says. "Being part of racing and the Weir-Archer academy has given me a lot more confidence in life - not just sport." READ MORE: How to get into disability sport. The deals were announced during a four-day visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to increase trade and investment between the two countries. About 26 deals were signed on Wednesday, with $2.5bn going to South Africa's state-owned rail operator. China has given a series of loans to African countries for development. The countries, in turn, provide oil and other key commodities to the world's second largest economy. But recent slowing demand from China has hurt trade in those African countries reliant on its exports. Chinese investment in Africa plunged 40% in the first half of the year, according to China's Ministry of Commerce. President Xi's visit has been viewed as a move to reassure African nations that China's slowing growth would not limit its investment in the continent. More on China in Africa: The BBC is running a series of pieces about China's role in Africa ahead of the China-Africa summit on 4-5 December in South Africa. A $500m loan to South Africa's state power company to improve nuclear co-operation, along with plans to build a car manufacturing plant in the country were among the deals announced. Ahead of Mr. Xi's visit, Chinese and South African firms had already announced $930m in investments in metal, energy and pharmaceutical sectors. Mr Xi's Africa tour began on Tuesday in Zimbabwe, where he pledged loans to boost the struggling economy. He will also co-chair a two-day China-Africa cooperation summit in Johannesburg on Friday, where several heads of the continent's countries are expected to attend. Reports suggest that Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari will ask Mr. Xi for loans to fund rail and power projects as the oil-exporting economy deals with falling prices. The summit could result in billions of dollars in new loans for African nations. The 168-year-old tabloid is accused of hacking into the mobile phones of crime victims, celebrities and politicians. On Thursday, the Met Police said it was seeking to contact 4,000 possible targets named in seized documents. Its editor Colin Myler said it was "the saddest day of my professional career". He added that "nothing should diminish everything this great newspaper has achieved". The News of the World, which sells about 2.8million copies a week, is famed for its celebrity scoops and sex scandals, earning it the nickname, the News of the Screws. Downing Street has said it had no role or involvement in the decision to close. Mr Murdoch said no advertisements would run in this weekend's paper - instead any advertising space would be donated to charities and good causes, and proceeds from sales would also go to good causes. News International has refused to comment on rumours that the Sun could now become a seven-day-a-week operation. "What happens to the Sun is a matter for the future," a spokeswoman for News International said. The Sun, another News International tabloid, is currently published from Monday to Saturday. The spokeswoman also refused to say whether the 200 or so employees at the paper would be made redundant, saying: "They will be invited to apply for other jobs in the company." By Nicola PearsonBBC News, Wapping The atmosphere outside News International's Wapping headquarters is one of shock and bewilderment. Staff had no idea what was coming - they were told the previous day that the paper would be rebuilding its reputation. Rebekah Brooks was inside the building when the staff were informed that the paper was closing. She was apparently in tears, as were many of the journalists. There was said to be a huge amount of anger that Rebekah Brooks has kept her job whilst theirs had been lost. Most staff left this evening shaking their heads. One, their political editor, David Wooding spoke to reporters outside. He said he was baffled at the decision, describing the paper as a clean outfit and saying most staff were not working there when the hacking is alleged to have happened. This evening, some of the Sun's journalists - the sister paper to the NoW - told the BBC they were walking out for a short period in solidarity with their colleagues. The News of the World's political editor, David Wooding, who joined 18 months ago, said it was a fantastic paper. "They cleared out all the bad people. They bought in a great new editor, Colin Myler, and his deputy, Victoria Newton, who had not been sullied by any of the things that had gone on in the past. "And there's nobody there, there's hardly anybody there who was there in the old regime." The Guardian says that Andy Coulson, formerly David Cameron's director of communications, will be arrested on Friday morning over suspicions that he knew about, or had direct involvement in, the hacking of mobile phones during his time as editor of the News of the World. The Guardian also says that a former senior journalist at the paper will also be arrested in the next few days. There have been repeated calls for Rebekah Brooks - the former editor, now News International's chief executive - to resign. But in an interview Mr Murdoch stood by her again, saying he was satisfied with her conduct. In a statement made to staff, Mr Murdoch said the good things the News of the World did "have been sullied by behaviour that was wrong - indeed, if recent allegations are true, it was inhuman and has no place in our company". "The News of the World is in the business of holding others to account. But it failed when it came to itself." He went on: "In 2006, the police focused their investigations on two men. Both went to jail. But the News of the World and News International failed to get to the bottom of repeated wrongdoing that occurred without conscience or legitimate purpose. "Wrongdoers turned a good newsroom bad and this was not fully understood or adequately pursued. "As a result, the News of the World and News International wrongly maintained that these issues were confined to one reporter. "We now have voluntarily given evidence to the police that I believe will prove that this was untrue and those who acted wrongly will have to face the consequences. This was not the only fault. "The paper made statements to Parliament without being in the full possession of the facts. This was wrong. "The company paid out-of-court settlements approved by me. I now know that I did not have a complete picture when I did so. This was wrong and is a matter of serious regret." He said: "So, just as I acknowledge we have made mistakes, I hope you and everyone inside and outside the company will acknowledge that we are doing our utmost to fix them, atone for them, and make sure they never happen again. "Having consulted senior colleagues, I have decided that we must take further decisive action with respect to the paper. This Sunday will be the last issue of the News of the World." By Torin DouglasBBC media correspondent Monday's revelation that a private investigator had hacked into the phone messages of Milly Dowler brought an entirely new dimension to the phone-hacking saga. The targets were no longer celebrities and politicians but ordinary people already going through dreadful experiences. This morning, as more advertisers pulled out, it became clear many people did not want to be associated with the News of the World. But no one foresaw that James Murdoch would close it altogether. The Murdoch family have once again shown their power to surprise and to take dramatic decisions. But on reflection, the decision may not have been as difficult as it first appears. There is already a substitute Sunday paper waiting in the wings. Earlier this month, News International announced a management restructure, making it easier for its papers to move to seven-day working. How long will it be before the Sun is published on Sundays? He reiterated that the company was fully co-operating with the two ongoing police investigations. He added: "While we may never be able to make up for distress that has been caused, the right thing to do is for every penny of the circulation revenue we receive this weekend to go to organisations that improve life in Britain and are devoted to treating others with dignity." The BBC's political editor, Nick Robinson, said that Rupert Murdoch has sacrificed the News of the World - or, at least, its title - instead of the chief executive of News International, Rebekah Brooks. "Team Murdoch must have realised that it would be referred to again and again over the next few months in connection with the alleged phone-hacking of a murdered girl, grieving parents and war widows," he said. "The question now is whether this will make the government's dilemma about the takeover of BSkyB easier or harder." Mark Pritchard, secretary of the influential Conservative backbench 1922 committee and vice-chairman of the parliamentary media group, has told the BBC he wants the government to delay a decision on the BskyB takeover. "The government should take the political and moral lead - and announce a delay to the BSkyB decision until all outstanding legal impediments have been removed," he said. Labour MP Tom Watson told Sky News it was "a victory for decent people up and down the land, and I say good riddance to the News of the World". But Justice Secretary Ken Clarke said: "All they're going to do is rebrand it." And former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott, who alleged his phone was hacked, thought the decision was simply a gimmick. In April, the News of the World admitted intercepting the voicemail messages of prominent people to find stories. It came after years of rumours that the practice was widespread and amid intense pressure from those who believed they had been victims. Royal editor Clive Goodman and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire were jailed for hacking in January 2007 after it was found they targeted Prince William's aides. Detectives recovered files from Mulcaire's home which referred to a long list of public figures and celebrities. The scandal widened this week when it emerged that a phone belonging to the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler had also been hacked into, and some messages deleted. Leading brands, including Sainsbury's, Ford and O2, pulled their newspaper advertising and shares in BSkyB fell on fears that the scandal could hinder parent company News Corp's bid for the broadcaster. On Wednesday, the government promised an inquiry in the hacking allegations, but the nature of it is undecided.

She is a clear favourite for gold in the event at Rio 2016, where she also plans to run the 400m. Britain's Lynsey Sharp finished fifth. Also representing Britain in Rabat, Dan Bramble jumped 8.00m to finish fourth in the men's long jump, while Robbie Grabarz cleared 2.25m and was fifth in the men's high jump. Rabah Yousif finished sixth for Britain in the men's 400m, posting a time of 45.90 seconds. Catherine Kelly died following a blaze at a property in Kilmaurs Road, Kilmarnock, on Saturday 11 February. Police Scotland said a 41-year-old man had been arrested and was being held in police custody. William Kelly is expected to appear at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court on Wednesday. Yn 2014 fe gyhoeddodd Sarah Rochira adroddiad a oedd yn seiliedig ar brofiadau preswylwyr mewn cartrefi gofal yng Nghymru. Un o'r materion a gododd yn gyson oedd y defnydd anaddas o feddyginiaeth gwrthseicotig. O achos hynny fe wnaeth ei hadroddiad argymell nifer o gynlluniau a fyddai'n gostwng y nifer o gyffuriau cryf a oedd yn cael eu rhoi i bobl â dementia. Roedd y rhan fwyaf o'r argymhellion yn cyfeirio'n benodol at fyrddau iechyd Cymru. Nawr mae'r Comisiynydd yn galw arnyn nhw i roi tystiolaeth bod y defnydd o'r cyffuriau wedi gostwng. "Mae'n sgandal cenedlaethol," meddai Sarah Rochira wrth raglen Radio Wales, Eye on Wales. "Mi wnes i'n glir pan gyhoeddais i fy adolygiad y buaswn yn dychwelyd i weld os oes newid wedi bod. "Cyn diwedd y flwyddyn mi fyddai'n cyhoeddi fy nghasgliadau ac mae'n hynod bwysig bod byrddau iechyd yn deall pa mor anaddas yw'r sefyllfa o'r fath a bod angen dangos gwelliant." Mae cyffuriau gwrthseicotig, gan amlaf, yn cael eu defnyddio i drin cyflyrau megis schizophrenia ac anhwylder deubegwn (bipolar disorder). Nid yw'r rhan fwyaf o'r cyffuriau fod i drin dementia ond maent yn cael eu rhoi i gleifion sy'n dangos symptomau seicolegol o'r cyflwr. Dangosodd arolwg gan Goleg Brenhinol y Seiciatryddion ym mis Tachwedd y llynedd bod 18% o gleifion dementia wedi derbyn cyffuriau gwrthseicotig. Pan mae hynny'n digwydd mae'n bwysig bod y claf yn cael dos isel am gyfnod mor fyr ag sy'n bosib. Yn dilyn cyhoeddiad adroddiad Sarah Rochira fe gyhoeddodd y Gymdeithas Fferyllol yng Nghymru ei adroddiad ei hunain ac maen nhw'n ffyddiog fod y sefyllfa mewn cartrefi gofal yn gwella. "Mae yna enghreifftiau o arfer arbenigol," meddai Mair Davies, cyfarwyddwr y gymdeithas. "Be sy'n rhaid i ni ei wneud yw sicrhau bod hyn yn digwydd ym mhob cartref gofal yng Nghymru." Yn ôl Steve Ford sy'n arwain gofal dementia ar ran Fforwm Gofal Cymru mae'n rhaid edrych yn fwy manwl ar yr achosion cynhenid dros ymddygiad person mewn cartref gofal. "Mi allan nhw fod mewn poen neu efallai ddim yn cyd dynnu â'r person drws nesaf. Nid ffonio'r meddyg yn gofyn am gyffuriau yw'r ateb o hyd." Wrth ymateb i sylwadau Sarah Rochira, fe ddywedodd Bwrdd Iechyd Caerdydd a'r Fro eu bod nhw wedi bod yn adolygu'r defnydd o feddyginiaethau gwrthseicotig mewn dau gartref. "Mae'r adolygiad yma yn dangos faint o fudd sydd 'na i gleifion dementia mewn cartrefi gofal o gydweithio â fferyllwyr arbenigol a nyrsys gofal dementia."

Last week, an unnamed Tyrone player claimed an "ongoing battle" with the county's GAA board over funding was hurting the team's All-Ireland chances. Squad member Ronan McNamee appeared to back this up in comments on Monday. However, the Tyrone GAA board released Cavanagh's statement on Tuesday. "On behalf of the Tyrone senior football squad [2017], I wish to make it known that we are very well resourced by the county board, Club Tyrone and our other sponsors and brand partners," said Cavanagh's statement. "Yes, there were some issues of a minor nature but these matters are being addressed. We are most grateful for the continued support of the county board, Club Tyrone and our other generous sponsors." The frustration about the Red Hand squad's funding was aired in an email sent to Irish radio station Newstalk's Off the Ball programme last Thursday. "It's becoming impossible to prepare ourselves to win an All-Ireland," said the unnamed player. "We are told that we need to tighten our belts." A recent Irish Independent survey listed Tyrone as only being 25th in terms of spending on senior inter-county football teams in 2016. The county's funding last year was reported to be £17,800 down on the 2015 figure. Tyrone spent £408,000 on the team in 2016 with the highest spenders Mayo's figure said to be almost £1.4m. "When we look at the money spent on the preparation of the county teams we are nowhere near the top spenders," continued the player's email. In response, Tyrone county chairman Roisin Jordan insisted on Friday that the county's GAA board was fully behind the team's efforts to win another Sam Maguire Cup. "In terms of finance, Tyrone are highly fortunate to have generous backers in the form of corporate sponsors and Club Tyrone," she said in a statement. "It is incumbent upon Tyrone GAA to ensure their investment is properly applied to GAA purposes. "Let there be no doubt that everyone within Tyrone GAA are fully behind Mickey Harte and his county team." Speaking on Monday, squad member McNamee said that there were "constant issues" with mileage expenses. "Some people don't get paid full amounts of what they would claim," added McNamee, speaking at an event to promote Saturday's Football League game against Monaghan. "If it has been talked about by players, it's obviously going to affect it [morale] in some way. If it wasn't a problem, they wouldn't be talking about it. "I'm not sure all of it [letter] would have been as bad as it came out but at the same time, there are things than could improve. "Money is not everything but it would damn help. So if other teams are the top of the pile are spending 1.6m Euro, they're spending it for a reason." The visitors made it four straight wins in league and cup, but struggling Oldham have now suffered four consecutive defeats. Wigan needed only eight minutes to go ahead as a short corner routine ended with Lee Evans crossing to Ivan Toney, who deflected home from six yards to register his first goal for the club. The lead was doubled in the 16th minute, with Oldham's defence in disarray and Michael Jacobs seizing the chance to fire in a close-range drive. It could have been 3-0 before half-time, but Nick Powell and Gavin Massey were both denied by home goalkeeper Ben Wilson. Oldham had their best opening straight after the break when an Ollie Banks back-heel was smothered by Wigan goalkeeper Christian Walton. Substitute Alex Gilbey wasted a chance to inflict more misery on the hosts, screwing off target from the edge of the box. Ryan McLaughlin forced a save from Walton, but it was a largely untroubled afternoon for promotion favourites Wigan. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

The helicopter crashed near Pensacola during a training exercise from Eglin Air Base. Divers have found the wreckage of a UH-60 helicopter - known as Black Hawk that crashed amid dense fog on Tuesday. But continuing bad weather on Thursday prevented the recovery of the flight recorder from wreckage 25ft (7m) deep. The Louisiana National Guard has confirmed two of their soldiers died and they believe two more "remain with the aircraft". Officials with the Guard said nine bodies had been recovered in total, according to the Pensacola News Journal. "At this point, we're not hopeful for survivors, and we are transitioning our Search and Rescue to a recovery effort," Colonel Monte Cannon, of the Louisiana National Guard said. And officials at Camp Lejeune, where the Marines were based, said they were "not hopeful of finding any survivors". Much of the area was enveloped in fog on Tuesday evening, said Katie Moore with the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, with visibility at two miles (3.2km) or less. During a hearing in Washington on Wednesday, Defence Secretary Ashton Carter said "all our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families as the search and rescue operation continues". The accident is under investigation. "It was certainly a high-impact crash," said Eglin Fire Chief Mark Giuliano. Dozens of airmen walked the nearby beach on Thursday to search for debris as the Coast Guard searched the water. Pieces of clothing and bits of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter have washed ashore, and homeowners have contacted the military to pick it up, Mike Spaits, a base spokesman, said. A second helicopter participating in the routine training mission returned safely. Both aircraft are assigned to the 1-244th Assault Helicopter Battalion in Hammond, Louisiana. Their names are not being released while relatives are notified, but the Associated Press news agency reported the helicopter had a veteran crew from that served multiple tours in Iraq and helped with humanitarian missions after the Gulf Coast hurricanes and the BP oil spill. Anderson will face another Englishman, fellow former champion Greg Harlow, who edged out Scotland's David Gourlay. Scottish four-time champion Paul Foster faces England's Les Gillett in Saturday's other semi-final. A delighted Anderson told BBC Sport: "Mr Paul Foster has just told me he has never seen me play better." The 2013 champion swept the world number one and top seed aside 10-5 10-2. "I am really pleased with the way I played and, to be fair, you have to play that way to beat Nicky," said Anderson. "If Nicky got a wee break here or there, it might easily have gone the other way. "Darren Burnett gave me a loan of his bowls, so I think that made the change." Anderson's compatriot was not so lucky in his own match, losing to Gillett 8-4 8-4. Brett had survived a scare in the previous round, when he was taken to a tie break by 71-year-old Scottish qualifier Charlie Bence, and was full of praise for ninth seed Anderson. "Stewart was great today and I was chasing the shots you don't want to be chasing," he said. "I would have liked to have played a little bit better myself, but Stewart didn't let me." Anderson will face fourth seed Harlow after the Englishman claimed a last-bowl victory over former champion Gourlay, the fifth seed, to win 5-8 10-4 2-1. It was a similar tight finish for Foster as he defeated 14th-seeded Englishman Jamie Chestney 6-10 10-4 2-1. The Scot, who last won the title in 2011 and is seeded six, said: "Jamie deserved to win the first set and then, in the second set, you've got to dig in and then I lost a three at the first end. "But you've just got to keep plugging away and I know today I was not at my best, but I showed a lot of fight and I know there's a lot of room in the tank yet. "I dug deep and I am happy to get through. Somebody up there must like me." Gillett, who defeated six-time champion Alex Marshall in the second round, continued his fine form to beat another Scot. Burnett, the 2014 champion, Commonwealth Games gold medallist and seventh seed, was swept aside by the 16th seed who is seeking his first world title. The law invalidated several local anti-discrimination measures that protected gay and transgender people. It also requires people to use public toilets that correspond to the sex listed on their birth certificates. The state's anti-discrimination rules should be strengthened, McCrory said. However he said the restrictions on access to public toilets should remain. Major companies such as Bank of America and Apple have criticised the law and others vowed to curtail their businesses in the state because of it. The fallout included: Mr McCrory acknowledged receiving a large amount of "feedback" about the law over the past few weeks. "Based upon this feedback, I am taking action to affirm and improve the state's commitment to privacy and equality," he said. Under Mr McCrory's suggested changes, gay, lesbian and transgender people would be able to sue in state court over discrimination. That change would require the approval of the legislature. Using an executive order, Mr McCrory will expand the equal employment policy for state employees to include sexual orientation and gender. He also affirmed that private businesses are able to set their own policies regarding public toilets. Gay rights activists said Mr McCrory's actions to did not go far enough and called for a full repeal of the law. The state American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which is challenging the law in court, said the governor was making "a poor effort to save face". North Carolina is one of a number of states in the southern US that have recently considered or enacted legislation that many deem anti-gay. Last June, a US Supreme Court ruling made gay marriage legal nationwide. In response, conservatives have sought to enact protections for religious people who believe marriage should only be between a man and woman. Last year, Indiana made changes to a "religious freedom" law after business groups and others threatened to boycott the state. The updated law included language that prohibited discrimination of any kind. This week, Mississippi passed a religious freedom law. That measure, however, specifically allows people to refuse service to gay people on religious grounds. Georgia's Governor Nathan Deal vetoed a similar bill in March after pressure from prominent firms including Coca-Cola and the Walt Disney Co. From selling Avon Cosmetics products for a living, the young man from Northamptonshire decided the time was right to have a serious go at becoming a golf pro. It was in 2014 when he had his 'Ding Dong' moment and he got 'the call' to leave Avon and concentrate on golf. So far, after a solid first year on the Challenge Tour since stepping up to win his card for the main European Tour, the sweet smell of success has eluded him. But his presence in Ayrshire for the 145th Open Championship at Royal Troon has got him sniffing the future with a lot more optimism. "I can't wait," the 29-year-old European Tour rookie from Corby told BBC Sport. "My first Open. My first major. How could you not be excited?" "I was working in a call centre in Corby. It was a dead-end job going nowhere. "So I decided to pull my finger out, concentrate on golf and see if could get anywhere. I took a year's leave from work. "I've heard it all - 'Ding Dong, Avon ladies'. But I've now got a chance to write my own history. "I feel I appreciate playing the game more, given where I was. If I miss the cut, it's still better than being sat in the office looking out of the window, wishing I was playing golf." "I had just two missed cuts in 17 events on the Challenge Tour last year. I just missed out on getting my main tour card but then went to tour school and got in that way. "It's not quite worked out yet and I can't really understand why. My putting average last year per round was 29.8. This year it's 31, yet I don't think I've putted that badly. "But there have been encouraging signs over the last couple of weeks and it would be nice to take that form into this week." Not only has Evans never played in a major before, until he headed south from the Scottish Open on Sunday to play his first practice round on Monday, he had not played at either of the Open's two famous Ayrshire links venues - Royal Troon and Turnberry. "I played a lot of links as an amateur," said Evans, whose golfing base is Wellingborough. "But we hardly play it now on tour. "Getting into the Scottish Open at the last minute to play links golf in a world-class field at Castle Stuart, and in poor weather too, will hold me in good stead. "It gave me the chance to get my ball-flighting under control and practise hitting the different sort of shots you want to hit in links golf. "My aim is to play nine holes every day leading up to Thursday. Some guys get excited and might play 18, 18, 18 and be worn out by the time it starts. I just want to stay fit and fresh, rather than over-practise." Kettering-born Evans has been handed a late tee time on his Open Championship debut, having been paired in the final group with fellow Englishman Callum Shinkwin and South African Zander Lombard at 16:16 BST. Evans shot eight under par over two rounds to earn one of the three places on offer from Final Qualifying at Woburn in June. He starts in 170th position in the Race To Dubai, the European Tour's money list. His tie for 54th at the Scottish Open, having been only the sixth time he has played all four rounds in 15 events this season, taking his year's earnings to 52,462 euros. Commonwealth Games gold medallist Davies was beaten by Hungary's Katinka Hosszu who took gold with Kylie Jaqueline Masse of Canada second. Kathleen Dawson continued her progress, finishing in fifth place. Adam Barrett set a British short course record of 49.21 sec qualifying fastest for the men's 100m Butterfly Mark Szaranek missed out on a finals birth of the 100m butterfly as he ranked 16th after his semi-final swim but set a new personal best of 51.48 sec. The 12 candidates were whittled down from a longlist of more than 220 albums, with many popular and critical favourites discarded along the way. Here are 10 albums that could, and perhaps should, have ranked alongside this year's finalists. A comeback that no-one, least of all Blur, thought would happen, The Magic Whip was created from scraps of music recorded at an "accidental" 2013 studio session in Hong Kong, booked to fill time between flights after a festival date was cancelled. Highest UK chart position: 1 The band say: "The story of this record can be compared to a middle-aged couple, out of the blue, receiving the news that there was going to be a new baby, after the original children had grown up." Damon Albarn, speaking to Billboard. Did you know? The album was accompanied by a comic book, in which the members of Blur travel to the future. With corrugated synths and glistening melodies, Glasgow's Chvrches refined their synth-pop sound while finding new emotional depths in singer Lauren Mayberry's vocals. Highest UK chart position: 4 The band say: "We all love pop music. It's great fun to play music and see people actually dancing. I'm sick and tired of being at gigs where it's just a bunch of bearded guys." Iain Cook, speaking to Pitchfork. Did you know? The album was recorded in a small basement flat in Glasgow. Listen carefully to the closing track, Afterglow, and you'll hear the radiator clinking. Grungy, sinister and drenched in echo, Drenge's second album marked a significant progression from the adolescent snarl of their debut. It was produced by Ross Orton, who previously won a Mercury nomination for his work on the Arctic Monkeys' AM. Highest UK chart position: 14 The band say: "Musically, this record is really, really funny," Eoin Loveless, speaking to DIY Magazine. Did you know? Drenge is the Danish word for brothers. Tackling everything from Ebola to terrorist beheadings, Get To Heaven is the result of a prolonged bout of anxiety and depression. But the doom-laden lyrics are offset by the Manchester band's intricately-constructed arrangements and restless, euphoric melodies. Highest UK chart position: 7 The band say: "After we'd finished the record, I read the lyrics back and I realised I'd written a horror bible." Frontman Jonathan Higgs, speaking to the BBC. Did you know? The track Fortune 500 describes a fictional assassination attempt on Queen Elizabeth II. Rabid riffs and urgent grooves populated Foals' fourth album, which the Oxford quintet described as their heaviest yet. But frontman Yannis Philippakis delivered some appropriate visceral imagery ("I buried my heart in a hole in the ground") but also turned in the band's most tender love song yet on the rain-swept single Give It All. Highest UK chart position: 3 The band say: "I just want to go out and devastate some stages. I want to get to this point where we're this ruthless and elegant machine." Yannis Philippakis in the NME. Did you know? The album was recorded in Saint-Remy-de Provence, the village where Van Gogh once spent time in a psychiatric ward after cutting off his ear. Lianne La Havas' shoulder-rubbing exploits with Prince and Stevie Wonder certainly paid off, with her second album immersed in rhythmic, jazz-inflected soul. Blood tackles themes of family and identity, with much of the record written on a trip to Jamaica, her mother's homeland. Highest UK chart position: 2 She says: "I've got two albums under my belt now. I'm a lot more experienced in the studio, so the way I make music is different." Speaking to Exclaim Canada. Did you know? Before she became a solo artist, La Havas sang backing vocals for Paloma Faith. Galeforce rock songs and breathy, twilit guitar pop, inspired by the ever-changing nature of Elephant and Castle, in The Maccabees' native London, where the album was made. Highest UK chart position: 1 The band say: "One of the record's strengths is that, were you to only listen to the first and last song, I'm not sure you'd think they were the same band." Frontman Orlando Weeks, speaking to Gold Flake Paint. Did you know? Marks To Prove It was recorded in the same studio as the theme song for Father Ted. Introspective electro-pop from a singer who got fed up with the pop machine. Recorded with a live band, it dispensed with the Welsh singer's quirks for a more sophisticated, soul-searching sound. Highest UK chart position: 10 She says: "When you have a theatrical, distinctive image people get distracted. They think it's more shine than artistry." Speaking to the BBC. Did you know? The album was initially released, one song at a time, over six months. The band's first album without founding member Peter Hook, Music Complete nonetheless won dozens of "return to form" reviews, thanks to its solid pop hooks and cameos from Iggy Pop, Brandon Flowers and La Roux. Highest UK chart position: 2 The band say: "It was like a football team with two strikers and one of them won't pass the ball, but keeps missing the goal." Bernard Sumner, discussing Peter Hook's departure in The Guardian. Did you know? Bernard Sumner was played by John Simm in the 2002 Tony Wilson biopic, 24 Hour Party People. Public Service Broadcasting's high-concept second album mixed archive audio footage from the US-Soviet space race with sparse electronic beats, bubbling synthesizers and, on a track about Yuri Gagarin, energetic pop-funk. Highest UK chart position: 11 The band say: "It involved a fair amount of reading, watching a number of documentaries and, of course, scouring the Nasa Audio Collection and the BFI Archives." J Wilgoose, talking to Brighton's Finest. Did you know? The only available audio of Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova - the first woman in space - was spoiled by an male, British translation, so the band called in pop group Smoke Fairies to re-interpret her words. Willis was twice treated for a head injury in a game with Saracens in March 2013, but was allowed to keep playing. The 31-year-old was later substituted in the 49th minute of the match. McHale and Co Solicitors, who are representing Willis, confirmed the existence of the lawsuit but declined to provide any further comment. A match report on Sale's website from the game with Saracens said: "Sharks were dealt an early blow when scrum-half Cillian Willis appeared to be tackled high and was attended to by the medical team. Thankfully he got to his feet and resumed." The report later details the former Ireland Under-21 scrum-half being replaced, as he was "struggling after his earlier injury". Willis, a cousin of former Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll, made 31 appearances for Sale after joining the Premiership side from Leinster, having previously played for Ulster and Connacht. Sale have been contacted by the BBC, but are yet to comment. New Yorker Mir Islam also made bogus calls that resulted in armed police storming the homes of film stars, federal workers and public figures. The US Department of Justice (DoJ) said the sentence reflected his involvement in many campaigns of online harassment. Islam will serve one year in jail as he has been in federal custody for the past 12 months. The names, birthdays, addresses, phone numbers and social security numbers of more than 50 people including First Lady Michelle Obama, FBI director Robert Mueller and CIA director John Brennan were posted by Islam to the Exposed.su website, said the DoJ. The information was used by "countless others" to carry out a variety of finance-related frauds, said the DoJ, leaving many people suffering credit problems. In addition to "doxing" public figures in this way, Islam also engaged in another malicious hacker tactic of "swatting", which involves making calls about bogus incidents that require armed police to investigate. Many people, including actor Ashton Kutcher, music impresario Jay Z and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, were "swatted" by Islam in this way. "This crime not only diverted first responders from actual life-threatening emergencies and wasted their valuable time and resources, but it also caused severe emotional distress to a large number of victims," said US attorney John Leonardo. In court, Islam defended himself, saying that at the time he carried out the attacks he was suffering from depression and a bipolar disorder. "I didn't expect to go as far as I did, but because of these disorders I felt I was invincible," Islam is reported to have said in court. "The mistakes I made before, I have to pay for that. I understand that." Court papers revealed that the doxing and swatting attacks were carried out while Islam was co-operating with the FBI after being arrested in 2012 for trying to buy and sell stolen credit cards. Islam also made a fake bomb threat and cyberstalked a woman during his campaigns of harassment, said the DoJ. An investigation into the other people he worked with when stealing data and exposing it online is continuing, said the FBI. The only option for patients is to completely avoid foods containing egg. A study on 55 children showed some were able to eat egg after minuscule amounts were gradually added to their diets. However, the treatment is still experimental and doctors say it should not be tried at home. Egg allergies are one of the most common allergies and are thought to affect up to 2.5% of children. Gradually introducing the food which causes an allergic reaction has been successful in other foods such as such as peanuts . Parents were given powdered egg to mix into their children's food, building up to about a third of an egg every day. The findings, presented in the New England Journal of Medicine , report that after 22 months of egg therapy, 75% of the children were able to eat the equivalent of two eggs without reacting. The children were tested again after at least a month of no longer having the daily egg treatment. Of these, 28% could still eat egg without reacting and were considered allergy-free. One of the researchers Dr Wesley Burks, from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, said: "This study gives us hope that we're closer to developing a treatment. "Almost a third of the children had a permanent change and were no longer egg-allergic." Dr Stacie Jones, from University of Arkansas, said: "Reducing these kids' allergic response to egg also lessened parental anxiety over how their children might react if accidentally exposed to egg at school or at someone else's house." However, about 15% of children did not finish the treatment, mostly due to allergic reactions. Lindsey McManus, from the charity Allergy UK, said: "This is a very exciting development into immunotherapy for food allergy. "Similar to recent trials being carried out into immunotherapy for peanut allergy at Addenbrookes hospital, the results are very promising. "It is however very early days and more research will be needed before this is used as a regular form of treatment. We would echo the warning in the report that this should never be tried at home due to the risk of serious allergic reactions." Just a few weeks later, George Osborne has announced that the pilot would be, well, all of England. I asked a senior minister why the Chancellor leapfrogged the trials and has gone for full roll out. The answer was one word: "power". Or to put it another way, this is a government and chancellor feeling much more confident in where they're going than they expected. So how big a deal is this devolution? Quite big - though it is not quite the full reinvigoration of local authorities 25 years after they were castrated by Margaret Thatcher. This is not comprehensive decentralisation of tax-raising and spending powers. That said, it does put local authorities in competition with each other to attract businesses - by easing planning restrictions for example - and thereby increase their revenues. But although local authorities will be able to cut business rates, they won't be able to put them up, unless that is they are cities like London and Manchester with directly elected mayors - and even then they'll only be able to put the rates up by 2p in the pound, to finance infrastructure, and only if businesses vote in favour in local polls. Or to put it another way, George Osborne does not believe that citizens - who for the sake of brevity I will call "us" - should be able to vote for a party that feels businesses pay too little. Also although the Conservatives' press release on this policy implies that all local governments' spending needs will come from locally raised taxes rather than central government grants, this is a bit misleading. An important central government grant will be replaced by local authorities retaining a more-or-less equivalent amount of the money they raise from business rates. But that may be best seen as an administrative reform, rather than one of huge economic substance. The point is that a system of tariffs on flush councils and top-up payments for needy councils will remain in place. And central grants to local authorities, for schools and public health, will be retained too. Government in that sense will continue to direct some funds to the councils with the greatest gap between the requirements of people for social care and other locally managed services and their respective capacities to obtain cash from businesses. That need-based redistribution from rich councils to poor ones is based on a 2013 assessment, which will be reviewed again in 2020. Even so, George Osborne is holding out the prospect that the more entrepreneurial and creative councils can become relatively richer by becoming magnets for businesses. Which in a long-winded way takes us to the rewards and risks of this kind of devolution. On the one hand, it creates incentives for all local authorities to become friendlier to the private sector - and therefore may spur wealth creation that benefits the whole country. But it could also seriously widen the gap between rich and needy councils - in the sense that councils with the most serious social problems, and therefore the biggest costs, may find it hardest to woo businesses to their areas, and therefore may find it hardest to increase their revenues. And in a worst case, if one council is run by a business genius, and another by a business dumb-dumb, residents of dumb-dumb town could see important public services undermined by emigrating businesses One more thing. What may matter more to local authorities and us over the next few years is that today's devolution of tax-raising powers will not protect them from the swingeing cuts being forced on most public services. Just like the rest of the public sector, except for schools, health, defence and overseas aid, they'll have to find savings of between 25% and 40% in this parliament. Those deep cuts may be imposed in a backdoor way, by giving local authorities responsibility for services they don't current have. So although some local authorities may feel like bursting into song about their imminent partial liberation from the dead hand of central government, like most of the rest of the public sector they still have to endure yet more falsetto-engendering belt tightening. One woman told the BBC that the South Glasgow University Hospital was like "a war zone" over the bank holiday weekend and her terminally-ill husband had to wait eight hours to be admitted. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) said it was undertaking the largest ever hospital migration in the UK. The board said it was "very sorry" for some patients' waiting times. Annette Leishman said her terminally-ill husband, who has pneumonia, was referred by their GP to the immediate assessment unit at the new hospital. She said the unit was like "a war zone...after a major disaster" when they arrived, and the reception area was "six deep" in people trying to be seen. "The corridors were full of people on trolleys with ambulance men waiting to get them booked in, old people left in corridors and no-one acknowledging anyone because they did not know where they were going." Mrs Leishman said it was about 16:00 when she arrived with her husband. He waited until 18:45 to be seen by a triage nurse and was seated in a chair in a corridor until 20:45 before someone came to take a blood sample. She said they had to ask "several times" for a trolley bed for her husband. Mrs Leishman said she acknowledged that there were "teething problems" as it was a new hospital but described what she witnessed as "an absolute disaster". In a statement, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said it was "extremely sorry to hear of this patient's experience". "The issues that the family have described are unacceptable and we are investigating their concerns." The health board said it appeared that the treatment given to Mrs Leishman's husband had "fallen short" of the "fundamental principles of NHS care" of "dignity, respect and courtesy". The statement said staff at the new hospital were "working hard" during "a period of major change" that was still just halfway through the biggest hospital migration programme ever undertaken in the UK. It concluded; "We have already provided more than 10,000 staff who will be working in the new hospitals a full induction as well as familiarisation of the specific areas they will be working in. "During this migration period, not all the services and new ways of working are in place as services are being maintained on multiple sites. "In the interim some patients have waited longer than we would have wished in the emergency department and the immediate assessment unit and we are very sorry for this." The statistics show that 3.94 million procedures were carried out in the course of scientific research - a fall of 206,000 on 2015. Some 51% of the total figure was accounted for by experiments and 49% relates to the breeding of genetically modified animals for research. A charity called on the government to curb "out-of-control" animal breeding. Troy Seidle of Humane Society International said: "We've witnessed this trend toward out-of-control breeding of genetically modified animals developing for more than a decade, and have repeatedly called on the Home Office to take action." Between 2007 and 2016, the number of procedures increased by 23%. The rise in breeding of genetically altered animals was largely responsible for the increase. Of the 2.02 million experimental procedures completed in 2016, the majority involved mice (60%), fish (14%), rats (12%), and birds (7%). As of 2014, the Home Office statistics contain information on the severity of procedures carried out on animals. This year, the majority of experimental procedures (46%) were classed as "mild". This compares with 51% of experiments being categorised as mild the previous year. The proportion of experiments classed as severe (6%) did not change compared with the previous year's figures. The procedures involving specially protected species, such as horses; dogs; cats; and non-human primates, accounted for 0.9% (18,000) of procedures in 2016. Dr Sarah Wells, director of the Medical Research Council's mouse genomics facility, the Mary Lyon Centre, said: "The management of colonies of genetically-altered animals is complex but we are developing increasingly sophisticated ways of breeding and genotyping them and preserving their eggs and sperm. "These efforts are reducing the number animals required for each experiment." Dr Penny Hawkins, head of the research animals team at the RSPCA, said: "The significant, year-on-year increases in animal procedures after 2000 seem to have ended, and the overall number is now fluctuating around four million. "But it would be very wrong to allow this level of animal use to become 'normalised', because of the pain, suffering and distress involved." She said the RSPCA wanted to see "much more critical assessment of the value of various animal 'models' of disease and faster development and adoption of humane, non-animal alternatives". Carwyn Jenkins' dog had half its nose missing and injuries to its jaw, Aberystwyth Justice Centre was told. Jenkins, 23, from Llanfarian, Ceredigion, admitted interfering with a sett and causing suffering to his dog. He was sentenced to carry out 240 hours unpaid work and pay £4,000 costs. The court heard the terrier was found injured when a warrant was executed at Jenkins' home. The injuries were believed to have been caused days earlier by fighting with wild animals, and inquiries found that local vets had not been contacted. An image found on Jenkins' mobile phone showed a terrier next to a hole with a badger visible. The picture also gave the location where it was taken on private land, and evidence of human interference and digging was found when officers examined the site, the court heard. Speaking after Jenkins' conviction, RSPCA Insp Keith Hogben said: "The dog involved in this incident suffered terrible facial injuries. "Luckily he has recovered and is now available for rehoming, but for other dogs used in this way, it sadly can be very different. "I hope this case is a warning for people who insist on putting dogs on badgers for sport that we will catch up with them." An explosion left 22 people dead and dozens injured following a pop concert by US singer Ariana Grande on Monday night. AMs held a minute's silence in the Senedd chamber as a mark of respect. Political campaigning for the general election has been suspended, and a vigil was held on the steps of the Senedd in Cardiff Bay. All Welsh party leaders have expressed their thoughts for the victims of the attack. At the start of Tuesday's business in the Senedd, First Minister Carwyn Jones told the chamber: "This was a particular form of cruelty at work because this act was directed at teenagers coming out of a concert. "It's difficult to imagine an act more appalling and more senseless." Mr Jones said he received a national security briefing from the Cabinet Office by phone on Tuesday morning. "The message from this chamber is that we will not be cowed, nor will we shrink into the shadows, nor will we change our way of life," he said. During First Minister's Questions Mr Jones said security arrangements for the forthcoming Champions League Final in Cardiff on 3 June were "robust". But he added: "What I can say to people is that of course we will be taking further advice with regard to the Champions League, but a lot of the work has already been done regarding security." Presiding Officer Elin Jones, on behalf of all members of the assembly, expressed their "heartfelt condolences". "I know people the length and breadth of Wales in all communities will condemn this unforgiveable act of violence, and will provide all possible support to the authorities and people of Manchester as they come to terms with what has happened," she added. In an earlier statement, Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said: "Targeting a concert with so many children and families is the ultimate act of cowardice and as a country we will come together to show those who commit such atrocities will never, ever win." Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said: "The thoughts and sympathies of all of us in Plaid Cymru go out to all the people affected by last night's horrific events in Manchester." UKIP's leader in the Welsh Assembly, Neil Hamilton, said: "Terrorists will never win", adding "our victory will be the final one because our democratic institutions will not be destroyed, inhibited or undermined". Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Mark Williams said: "I am deeply shocked & saddened by events that took place in Manchester yesterday evening. Our thoughts & prayers are with all those affected." The Wales Green Party had been due to launch its election campaign in Cardiff on Tuesday, but has postponed it due to events in Manchester. Leader Grenville Ham said: "This transcends politics. "My thoughts are with the families and friends of the victims of the attack and the community in Manchester." Scotland's head coach and her captain Gemma Fay both say the game will be their proudest moment in football. Confidence is high within an England squad that believes they can win the tournament outright. "We definitely go out as underdogs," said Signeul. "But that doesn't mean we don't have expectations ourselves." Fay will win her 201st cap on Wednesday and is savouring the enormity of the fixture - Scotland's first game in a major tournament. "It's the biggest game of my career, it's possibly the biggest game for some other players, but it's probably the most exciting as well," the Scotland captain told a large media pack assembled at Utrecht's Stadion Galgenwaard. Asked if the same was true for her and whether a positive outcome would be her greatest achievement, Swede Signeul added: "Yeah, that would definitely be the case. "I feel half-Scottish and it would be a proud moment." Scotland have beaten England just twice in 24 previous meetings, most recently in 2011, and their rivals go into the finals unbeaten in their last nine competitive matches. But Signeul and her players are not approaching the game with an inferiority complex. "We have expectations of putting on a good performance. That's what we're focusing on and [we will] see how far that can take us," Signeul said. Fay stressed that the significance of this fixture lies principally in its status as the opening game of Scotland's first major tournament, with the England-Scotland rivalry of much less importance. "As a one-off game, it's a fantastic occasion to be part of and it's something that any player who ever wants to play for Scotland or England wants to be part of," she said. "But first and foremost it's an opening match at a major championship and that's how we view it. "The rivalry is not going to overshadow what we're here to do and that's to go out and look to win this first game at the European Championship." Media playback is not supported on this device The 300 boxes had been ordered by a specialist shop in Christchurch, "A Little Bit of Britain". But food giant Sanitarium, which owns rival brand Weet-bix, has objected to it being sold. The shop's owner has been told the cereal will only be released if a sticker is put over the Weetabix label. Sanitarium said its Weet-Bix brand was protected by international law and, in turn, was often precluded from being sold in other global markets due to the Weetabix trade mark. Lisa Wilson, of the A Little Bit of Britain shop, which specialises in UK products, said she could not understand the move, as the products looked and tasted different. The store currently sells some seven boxes of Weetabix a day. Media playback is not supported on this device Reaching that status would open the door for more regular contests against the likes of England and Australia. "I won't give a timescale, but I'll give a lot of hope," said Cannon. "I would put Scotland at the vanguard of these opportunities just now, so I'm not promising anything - but I do think it is possibly on the cards." Cannon, who has been in his post since September 2015 after replacing Roddy Smith, explained how his fresh hopes came from talks at an ICC conference that Cricket Scotland hosted in June. "From the whispers, this was the most positive and encouraging noises that have been heard from the ICC about potential full membership and potential Test cricket or multi-day cricket for minor nations," Cannon told BBC Scotland. Cricket Scotland's more reachable target is to have their senior men's and women's teams in the top 12 of the ICC one-day international rankings by 2019. Scotland are currently 13th ahead of play being abandoned because of rain in the first of a two-match ODI series against Afghanistan at The Grange on Monday. Head coach Grant Bradburn's side went into that contest off the back of winning their first match at a major global tournament in 21 attempts - when they defeated Hong Kong at the World T20 in March. That milestone encouraged Cannon, but he is reluctant to rest on it. "We mustn't lose sight of the fact that it's taken 21 times to do it," he said. "We've still to cause a major upset on the world stage and I think we've got to keep on believing in ourselves and proving that we can compete with the best of them." The MoD will sign the order for 589 Scout Specialist Vehicles at General Dynamics in Caerphilly county. David Cameron said the deal would aid UK security and "underpin" many jobs. At the two-day summit in Newport, due to start on Thursday, the UK will call for increased defence spending by some of Nato's 28 member states. Mr Cameron said the Scout deal would be the Army's largest single order for armoured vehicles for more than 30 years. "These new vehicles are testament to the world-class engineering skills in south Wales and across the UK, helping to create the Army's first fully digitalised armoured vehicles," he said. "Not only will they be crucial in helping to keep Britain safe, they will also underpin nearly 1,300 jobs across the UK and showcase the strength of the UK's highly skilled defence sector." Mr Cameron said the UK had the second largest-defence budget in the alliance - "meeting Nato's 2% of GDP spending target" - and was providing "leadership" within the organisation. In a speech later at the Royal United Services Institute, a defence think tank, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon is expected to call on Nato countries to increase military spending. "Not only is there a real risk of equipment obsolescence amongst Nato's European allies, but investment underpins our vital transatlantic bond," he will say. "Nato was formed on the basis that Europe would pay her way. "Like any insurance policy, defence only pays out when you pay in. "US taxpayers won't go on picking up the cheque if we choose to prioritise social welfare spending when the threats are on our doorstep." BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said the comment on threats was a reference to Russian military intervention in Ukraine. The MoD said the hi-tech Scout vehicles would be the Army's "eyes and ears" on the battlefields of the future. Delivery of the first Scout vehicles is expected in 2017, with a brigade ready to deploy by the end of 2020. General Dynamics, a US-based firm, said the Scout was a "highly-agile, tracked, medium-weight armoured fighting vehicle" which would offer "state-of-the-art" protection to troops. The deal is expected to sustain 300 jobs in Wales. Kevin Connell, vice president of General Dynamics UK, who runs the Scout SV programme, told BBC Wales: "We have a really talented workforce of more than 200 and we expect down the line when we start production for that to grow even further." He said they were completing the final critical design reviews over next few months and hoped to start production in 2017, running right through to 2024. "If the MoD exercises that production option, we're looking at 10 years solid work here and probably beyond that when you consider other variants and export opportunities." Next Thing wants $50,000 to finish development of the credit-card sized Chip computer. The first versions will have a 1Ghz processor, 512MB of Ram and 4GB of onboard storage. The gadget, due to go on general release in early 2016, could become yet another rival to the popular Raspberry Pi barebones computer. The Chip shares some technical elements with the Pi in that it is built around an Arm chip but it includes some networking technologies, such as wi-fi and Bluetooth 4.0, that are not present on the standard Raspberry configuration. The gadget can run a version of the Linux operating system and connects to monitors and displays via a basic composite connector. Next Thing is also planning to make a version of the Chip into a handheld gadget called the Pocket Chip that will sell for about $49. The first finished Chip boards are due to reach backers in December. Though some people who sign up to be a "kernel hacker" backer will get theirs in September. Since launching on Kickstarter, the project has proved popular and has already exceeded its funding goal. Currently almost 13,000 people have pledged more than $645,000 (£416,000) to the project. But experts warned that the Chip's low price tag only covered the basic board. Writing on hardware news site Bit-Tech, Gareth Halfacree said the Chip had "sacrificed a few features" in its desire to be smaller and cheaper than the Pi. He pointed out that beefing up the graphical abilities to match the Pi raised the price to $24 - far closer to the $35 that the Raspberry Pi 2 costs. He added that shipping charges outside the US could also make the Chip more expensive than it first appeared. The computer is also launching into a market getting increasingly crowded with small, powerful computers. These range from barebones boards aimed at hardware hackers through to entire computers on USB sticks chips made by Intel and Google. The Chip computer is the second project Next Thing has funded via Kickstarter. Its first was a digital camera called Otto powered by the Raspberry Pi. Tidal Energy Ltd went into administration in October, but the 400KW, 39ft high turbine in Ramsey Sound, had not worked since March. Development director Chris Williams defended the research project. The Welsh Government said a buyer was being sought. Mr Williams said the DeltaStream device was never intended to generate massive amounts of electricity, but it did work for a period of time after its installation in December 2015. The scheme received £8m in EU funds but market forces had led to the company's financial struggles causing its collapse, he previously revealed. Mr Williams, who is helping with the firm's administration, said the device had developed "an intermittent fault with an active sonar" in about March which was part of the system's marine monitoring equipment. The sonar was used to detect nearby wildlife, analysing the possible impact on marine mammals. But when the fault developed, the project was no longer able to detect a potential collision and the turbine could not operate within its licence. A mechanical defect also later developed on the turbine which would have prevented it from generating, Mr Williams explained. He said this happened before the firm went into administration. "The project was a research and development project. It was never put in the water to generate massive amounts of electricity," he added. "The purpose of the project was to provide the essential learning, new knowledge, knowhow and experience to progress the industry in Wales." "What we set out to do we did, 100%," he said. Mr Williams also said a £1.4m grant offer from the UK government to remove the turbine to carry out improvements during the summer, was turned down "because we were looking for new funding". Tidal Energy Ltd had received £7.99m of EU structural funds to develop, build, deploy and test the tidal device. The money was provided through the Welsh Government's EU funding agency, the Welsh European Funding Office. The Welsh Government also invested £49,000. In a written answer to a question from Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies, Economy Secretary Ken Skates said there are a number of marine technology companies who have an interest in purchasing the company's assets, including the Ramsey Sound test site. Mr Davies described the situation as "extremely concerning". "The first minister once hailed the development of the turbine a 'landmark project' for Wales. It is sad and deeply frustrating to think of it now broken on the ocean bed," he said. A Welsh Government spokeswoman said a buyer was being sought. She added: "Tidal Energy Ltd's EU funded project did achieve its primary objective and has provided a significant amount of learning to the sector and the local supply chain. "This has helped make Wales a key player in the developing marine energy industry and we are keen to build on this success. " Garrison Road would be renamed Roger Millward Way in the proposal supported by the leader of Hull City Council and rugby league club Hull KR. Millward made 406 appearances for the club, scoring a record 207 tries and kicking 607 goals. He was awarded the MBE for his services to the sport in 1983 and inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame in 2000. After his retirement from playing, he coached the Robins for 11 seasons, winning six trophies. Rugby league supporters and councillors had called for a tribute for the player who died at the age of 68 on 2 May. The A63, as it enters the city, is named Clive Sullivan Way to honour another late rugby league star who played for both Hull FC and Hull KR. After crossing the River Hull, it currently is called Garrison Road for a stretch into east Hull. Councillor Stephen Brady, leader of the council, said it was a fitting tribute for a man who had a "huge influence on rugby and was an honoured citizen of Hull for many years". Neil Hudgell, chairman of Hull KR, said Mr Millward was a "significant part of the rich rugby heritage in this city". The proposal for re-naming is to be discussed at a future meeting. Officials say the website, which was launched by the State Bureau of Letters and Calls on Monday, will help "broaden the channels" for public opinion. However, some potential users expressed fears that the website would be used to expose petitioners. Chinese microblog users also raised questions about the effectiveness of the site after it reportedly crashed on its first day. In China millions of people petition government offices every year, in a tradition that dates back to imperial times when the emperors would listen to the complaints of common people. But these petitioners - whose grievances range from land disputes to employment violations to unsolved crimes - are often seen as an embarrassment to local officials, with some intercepted and detained illegally. The State Bureau has accepted online complaints on agricultural issues, social welfare and construction before now. However, it says it will now accept complaints on all types of issues online. The bureau chief, Shu Xiaoqin, said the department would take all online comments and complaints seriously, so that "all issues would be settled, all cases would receive a reply". The move was "an effort to improve the bureau's credibility" and "continue to broaden the channels through which public opinion could be expressed," she was quoted in Chinese media reports as saying. However, the site requires users to register their details, including their real name, ID or passport number, home address and telephone numbers, leading some to fear that petitioners could face retribution from local officials. "Would you dare submit a petition on this website?" Ma Juncao wrote on Sina Weibo, a Chinese microblog similar to Twitter. "Opening up online reporting is a good thing, but what's the point of asking for people's address? Maybe so they can retaliate against you." Another user, Tears in Snow, described the website as a "fishing" exercise. Many Chinese microblog users also expressed scepticism about the effectiveness of the site, after reports it crashed on its first day due to the high volume of visitors. "The state bureau allows online complaints... and then the website crashed," Sina Weibo user Maxims and Smart Words said. "It looks like there are a lot of grievances from citizens!" OscarUI, another user, wrote. Online users also said they noticed errors on the site, which reportedly listed Monday's date as "1 July 19113", and were unhappy that the portal was only compatible with the Internet Explorer browser. "It feels like the State Bureau weren't sincere enough when they made this site," user i Gao Haobo wrote on Sina Weibo. "People may feel hopeful [when they learn about the new portal], but when you see the date of the website it's obvious that you're just being conned," user Hai Lan Lan said. Graeme and Margaret Leslie admitted behaving in a threatening and abusive manner in Montrose High Street. The wedding went ahead after bail conditions banning the pair from seeing each other were lifted a week earlier. Forfar Sheriff Court was told the couple hosted a small reception in a pub following the wedding. The court heard the couple stopped on the way home to pick up drinks from the Party Time off-licence in Montrose High Street. Depute fiscal Jill Drummond said a row broke out after Mr Leslie selected two bottles of cider from the shop, prompting another customer to say: "That'll give you some hangover." Leslie swore at the man and after being told that he would not be served, knocked over bottles of alcohol, causing them to smash on the floor. Miss Drummond said Leslie was told to calm down and he went outside and was prevented from re-entering the shop. Mrs Leslie then entered the shop and, referring to the smashed bottles, shouted at a shop assistant: "Graeme didn't do that, you've ruined my wedding day, I'm going to kill you." The court heard that the newlywed couple shouted abuse at officers in Arbroath police station following their arrest. Graeme Leslie, 61, and Margaret Leslie, 56, of St Cyrus, Montrose, admitted behaving in a threatening and abusive manner. Nick Markowski, defending Mr Leslie, said: "He is still wearing his wedding attire today. "He has spent his first three days married in cells of one variety or another." Nick Whelan, for Mrs Leslie, said: "She didn't envisage spending her wedding night in a police station but that's exactly what happened." Sheriff Gregor Murray deferred sentence until October for reports. He remanded Graeme Leslie in custody and released Margaret Leslie on bail. Sheriff Murray said: "Your role was lesser, Mrs Leslie, but one of your comments puts you in danger of a custodial sentence." Leeds City Council said its chief planner wanted to fully consider issues with such things as highways and heritage before finalising a decision. The fictional village was built in 1998 in the grounds of Grade I listed Harewood House, north of Leeds. A number of objections to the plan were received citing concerns over increased traffic and access to public footpaths. The joint application by the estate and ITV proposes weekend tours by up to two coach loads of visitors an hour. No new development is planned at the site, which lies on green belt land. One child was hurt by her father and a second drowned in the bath after concerns were not properly dealt with by Sunderland City Council, serious case reviews have found. The authority said it did not "shy away from the criticisms". In July, Ofsted found "serious and widespread" failings in the care of vulnerable children in Sunderland. In 2014, Baby Penny fell and drowned in the bath. A coroner found her death was accidental. The council's children's services department did not respond quickly or adequately to concerns raised by health professionals about the child's welfare, one review found. In a separate case, Baby N was injured and the baby's father was later convicted of neglect and ill treatment. A serious case review found information had not been shared properly by Sunderland children's services and other agencies about the potential risk to the child. Sunderland safeguarding children board chairman Colin Morris said the council accepted there were "lessons to be learned for all the agencies involved". "Both reviews found practices - such as failing to follow procedures, poor information sharing and too much focus on the parents rather than the children on the part of professionals - that were not up to the standard the Safeguarding Board would expect. "There were also times when agencies did not work together effectively." A number of other serious case reviews in the last two years have raised concerns about the performance of the city's services for vulnerable children. The 2015 Ofsted report rated the city council as "inadequate" across a range of services including child protection, adoption, and children in care. The government said a commissioner for children's services would be appointed to ensure improvements and the council has pledged a "root and branch overhaul" of its structure. The former Plymouth striker has been in talks with County manager Warren Feeney for a number of weeks after he rejected Argyle's contract offer in the summer. "That deal is probably dead now, we have spoken to him, but I think I am probably going to leave that one now. It is gone," Feeney told BBC Wales. "I won't be waiting around, so we can probably put that one to bed now." He continued: "He is a great fella - but I want players who are ready to come in and play. "I am sure he'll sign somewhere. I have plenty of strikers but would have taken one more, you can't have too many strikers, I honestly believe that." Feeney added three players to his squad before the transfer window closed on 31 August. Newcastle United defender Kyle Cameron, Cardiff City forward Rhys Healey and Queens Park Rangers forward Reece Grego-Cox have joined on loan until January. The council is consulting on proposals to save £40m over the next three years. These include charging second home owners council tax at double the current total rate, under plans due to come into force this year. Of the 562 respondents to the survey, 73% supported the move, compared to 16% who opposed it. A further 9% said they had no preference. A council report said there were an estimated 3,000 second homes in the county and the move could raise "at least" an extra £2-£2.5m per year. If it went ahead, the new charges would come into effect in the 2017-18 financial year. Other ideas being considered are increased car park fees, charging for library book hire, cutting bus subsidies and reducing highway maintenance. Bradford bossed an entertaining first half in which they squandered two good chances to grab the lead. The first came on the quarter hour after Josh Cullen tumbled under pressure from Ben Davies. Rory McArdle rose well at the back post to meet Nicky Law's curling free-kick, the Bradford wide man unable to direct his header under the bar. The visitors went closer still when Romaine Vincelot picked the pocket of Kyle Dempsey, James Meredith charging away on the overlap. Charlie Wyke was unmarked on the end of Meredith's driven cross but blasted spectacularly over the woodwork from close range. Fleetwood were on the wrong end of a battering from the Bantams and finally cracked two minutes before the break. Jordy Hiwula played a neat one-two with Wyke running beyond the last man and firing low past goalkeeper Alex Cairns. After the break Bradford lacked the intensity of their first-half display but were still capable of causing the hosts problems. Hiwula almost set up a second when he cut in from the left, Fleetwood clawing his shot away but only as far as Alex Gillead whose close-range effort was somehow turned over the bar by Cairns. The hosts had made a double change, throwing caution to the wind in search of a leveller. The change brought the desired result with Ash Hunter pivotal in an unlikely equaliser. He raced onto a hopeful through ball, driving a low ball across the six-yard box where former Bradford man Cole was waiting to pounce. And the comeback was complete when Conor McLaughlin, who moments before had stung the palms of Bradford stopper Colin Doyle, ghosted onto a short corner, driving a devil of a ball across the six-yard box as McArdle turned the ball into his own net at the near post.

Everyone wanted tariff-free access to EU markets, the shadow chancellor said. But there was a debate on-going within the Labour Party about whether the best option was continued membership or a separate agreement, he added. Jeremy Corbyn has suggested the single market is "inextricably linked" to EU membership and the UK cannot remain. Speaking on Sunday, the Labour leader said leaving the EU meant leaving the EU's internal market - whose members must abide by rules on the free movement of goods, capital, services, and labour. The party's international trade spokesman, Barry Gardiner, has gone further, saying the UK should also rule out remaining in the customs union beyond any transitional period, claiming that failing to do so would make the UK a "vassal state" unable to negotiate sovereign trade deals. However, many Labour MPs disagree with both positions - arguing that it is in the UK's economic interests to remain in both. They point out there are non-EU members, like Norway, which have full access to the single market and countries such as Turkey which belong to the customs union. And Welsh first minister Carwyn Jones is arguing Labour should be pushing for the UK to remain in the single market - even though it might mean not being able to impose any controls on immigration from the EU. Mr McDonnell insisted Labour had a "straightforward" position on the type of access the UK needed to its largest market after it leaves the EU in March 2019. "Our objective is tariff-free access to the market," he said. "That has been our objective since immediately after the referendum. "The structures - whether we are in or out - are a secondary matter. "We are not ruling anything out but what we are saying is that we are the fifth largest economy in the world and we have a special status in both our relationship with the EU and the rest of the globe and we feel we can get a deal that achieves tariff-free access." Pressed on whether he and Mr Corbyn disagreed on the matter, he said: "I think we are all on the same page with regard to our objectives... there is a debate around whether it is full membership or a new relationship or a separate agreement. "What we are saying is keep our eye on what is the most important objective, tariff-free access. We can achieve that." The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said there was a "deep internal divide" within the party and the shadow chancellor was seeking to "soften" the party's stance following a backlash by pro-EU MPs and trade unionists over Mr Corbyn and Mr Gardiner's remarks Amid signs of growing internal strains over Brexit, the former shadow health secretary Heidi Alexander said she had never felt "more concerned" about her party's position. "My colleague Barry Gardiner's contribution to the Brexit debate, in which he argues for the UK to come out of the single market and customs union to facilitate Brexit was, for me, depressing and disingenuous in equal measure," she wrote in the Guardian. She accused her colleague of using arguments on sovereignty, immigration and the legal jurisdiction that "could have come straight out of Tory Central Office", Instead, she said Labour must focus on the damage posed to those on low and middle incomes of a so-called hard Brexit. The government has said the UK will leave the single market and customs union but could maintain some existing arrangements for an interim period to help British business adjust. Officers have also targeted but not fire Tasers at 13-year-olds, Freedom of Information statistics requested by the Greater London Authority (GLA) Conservatives show. The Tories said officers should use cameras connected to their Tasers to protect "the most vulnerable". The Met said recent figures had showed a reduction in the use of Tasers. Andrew Boff, leader of the GLA Conservatives, has called for officers to start using new body-worn cameras on their uniforms that are designed to activate automatically when the Taser is taken from its holster. The Los Angeles Police Department already use cameras to record Taser incidents and the Met Police are currently trialling body cameras across 10 London boroughs, but they a not activated when Tasers are used. Mr Boff said Tasers were "an important tool in public safety," but without context their use on the elderly or children was "questionable." He said: "Body-worn cameras triggered by the use of the Taser would capture the events leading to a needed intervention. "They have been shown to increase accountability whilst reducing complaints, protecting both police officers and the most vulnerable in society." Tasers fire two darts with a five-second, 50,000-volt charge, which can temporarily disable its target. The Met's website states the devices have been used by specially trained officers as an additional option to manage situations where violence is threatened or likely from a safe distance. The Freedom of Information data obtained by Mr Boff showed in 2013 and 2014, Tasers were: In 2013 and 2014, the Met used Tasers in 4,105 incidents, including firing them 503 times, according to figures. The Met said the most recent Home Office figures showed there had been a reduction of 11.7% in the use of them. The figures from October 2014 said Tasers had been fired 992 times from January to June 2014, compared to 1124 times from July to December 2013. A Met Police spokesman added: "The MPS currently has in the region of 1,000 body-worn video cameras deployed as part of a year-long pilot. This is thought to be the world's largest trial." The combined company will have almost 400 million customers, accounting for 35% of the market share, the firms said in a statement. The announcement ends months of speculation over an impending deal. Analysts say the merger was to fend off competition from a new operator - Reliance Jio. Telecom giant sparks India price war Vodafone's Indian unit in merger talks Owned by the country's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, Jio has forced Vodafone India and Idea Cellular, together with current market leader Bharti Airtel, to cut prices. Shares in Idea rose almost 4% in Mumbai following the announcement of the deal. India's leading mobile networks are embroiled in what analysts have described as "a vicious price war", started by the arrival of Jio. More than 10 telecom operators are battling it out to try to attract India's one billion mobile phone users. That has forced firms to keep tariffs low, significantly affecting their profitability. It was interesting that both companies decided to hold an off-camera press conference to announce such a big merger. But midway through the conference, it became clear that there were still many operational issues which needed to be ironed out. How will they brand the new entity? Who will be the new CEO? These questions were not answered at the press conference. It will take 18-20 months for the whole merger process to complete. Some job cuts are also expected as both the firms align operations to trim costs. But the merger should ring in good news for customers because the new entity is expected to slash prices to compete with Reliance Jio. McStay, 51, deftly avoided criticising manager Ronny Deila but did say that decisions on the club's strategy should be made at the end of the season. "There's a league to be won and we're on schedule to do that," he said. "If you come out now and do something drastic it might have some detrimental effect on the team." Deila's future has been the centre of much speculation since Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Rangers. It was the third consecutive semi-final loss for the Norwegian, who has failed to progress through Champions League qualifying in his two seasons at Celtic Park. "European football is what it's all about just now and a massive organisation like Celtic will want to make sure they have things in place for a strong challenge next year," said McStay. The former Scotland midfielder, who played more than 500 games for Celtic between 1981 and 1997, did stress that he does not feel any sympathy for the under-pressure manager. "I don't feel sorry for Ronny from the point of view that he is managing one of the biggest clubs in the world," he said. "Ronny will have been delighted to have been given that opportunity. "He has given it his best shot and he will continue to do that I think between now and the end of the season. "I or any coach would love to have had an opportunity like that, so I think he should enjoy it and try to achieve the best he can. That means winning the league." Deila is on course for a second successive league title, with Celtic enjoying an eight-point lead over Aberdeen going into the last five fixtures. "I've never met Ronny but I've got a lot of respect for the guy," said McStay. "He comes across as a really good person. "Right now he's still in a job so I would just leave it at that and allow him to go and hopefully win his second championship." Former Derby County boss Clement was appointed on Tuesday following the departure of Bob Bradley last week. The long-serving Curtis, 62, played more than 350 games for the Swans and has been caretaker manager on three occasions and was in charge for the 2-1 win at Crystal Palace. The club have so far declined to comment. When Clement's arrival was confirmed, Swansea also announced Nigel Gibbs had been appointed assistant coach, with Karl Halabi named head of physical performance, with both arriving from Tottenham Hotspur. Ex-Wales international Curtis has held a number of coaching roles with Swansea, and was appointed first-team coach by Michael Laudrup - a role he subsequently kept under Garry Monk, Francesco Guidolin and Bradley. The former Leeds and Southampton forward has previously been assistant manager, youth team manager and Football in the Community officer at Swansea. As a player he scored 32 goals during the club's promotion season in 1977-78 and was part of the team managed by John Toshack promoted to the old First Division in 1981. The £379 ($544) device is designed to survive a 2m drop on to concrete and can operate in temperatures ranging from -20C to 60C. Rival firm Caterpillar has already established itself as a brand in the physically tougher smartphone sector. The so-called "tough phone" market is flourishing, a retailer told the BBC. "Lots of people in the trade and construction industries, as well as outdoor sports enthusiasts, have realised that just having a thicker case isn't going to see them through," said James Booker, purchasing manager at UK firm Tuffphones. To be be certified as a "tough phone", handsets have to undergo more rigorous physical tests, including being subjected to tumbling - turned over and over inside a device for long periods of time, Mr Booker explained. They also have to be water and dust proof. Because they are sturdier, they can also incorporate a bigger battery, he added - the Dewalt phone claims to offer up to eight hours of talk time. "One of the main things about traditional smartphones is that they are svelte and slim - there's an obvious correlation with how large a battery they can get in there," Mr Booker said. While most of its specifications are fairly standard for the sector, Dewalt's MD501 phone comes with in-built QI wireless charging, which is unusual, he added. Its touchscreen is made of commercially manufactured Gorilla Glass - a highly robust but thin type of glass that works with gloved hands. The handset is a collaboration with Global Mobile Communications, a rugged phone specialist. Mountain guides found the frozen remains during a climb on Saturday. They were still wearing their backpacks and investigators hope a camera found nearby may yield clues about their identity and what happened to them. Chimborazo is Ecuador's highest mountain at 6,268m (20,565ft). The bodies were found under layers of ice at a height of 5,650m. In 1994, seven French climbers and three Ecuadorean guides went missing on the Chimborazo volcano after an avalanche. Ecuadorean officials have asked relatives of the missing French climbers to come forward to help determine the identities of the bodies. Investigator Fernando de la Torre said the bodies would have to be left to defrost naturally before they can be examined. Forensic experts say they want to avoid damaging clothing on the dead climbers, which may yield clues as to who they are and when they died. Chimborazo, a dormant volcano, is popular with climbers, but avalanches and melting snow and ice can make it risky. The 14-year-old girl was grabbed by three men and pulled into the town's Grade-II listed Valley Gardens at about 04:00 GMT on 16 February, police said. The man, aged 25, from Harrogate, was arrested on Friday, said officers. Along with a man arrested on 17 February, he will remain on police bail while the investigation into the attack near Harlow Moor Drive continues. HSBC, Credit Suisse and the Royal Bank of Scotland-owned Coutts Trustees all feature in the leaked Panama Papers. The revelations in the papers are based on more than 11 million documents from Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca. They name lenders said to have helped to set up structures making it hard for tax officials to pinpoint money flows. They also name institutions alleged to have helped firms that were subject to international sanctions. Rami Makhlouf is the cousin of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and has reported wealth of $5bn. In 2008 the US Treasury imposed sanctions on him because it deemed him to be a "regime insider" and someone who "manipulated the Syrian judicial system and used Syrian intelligence officials to intimidate his business rivals". Mossack Fonseca continued to front six businesses - including one company called Drex Technologies - for Mr Makhlouf after the restrictions were put in place. The files also show the Swiss branch of HSBC provided financial services for the firm. In 2010, two years after the sanctions were imposed, HSBC wrote to Mossack Fonseca saying it believed Drex Technologies was a company of "good standing". An internal email from Mossack Fonseca's compliance department also suggests HSBC staff dealing with Drex Technologies knew who Rami Makhlouf was. The email, dated 17 February 2011, says: "We have contacted HSBC who stated that they are very aware of the fact that Mr Makhlouf is the cousin of the President of Syria. "The HSBC compliance department of the bank not only in Geneva but also in their headquarters in London know about Mr Makhlouf and confirm that they are comfortable with him." In response HSBC said: "We work closely with the authorities to fight financial crime and implement sanctions. "Our policy is clear that offshore accounts can only remain open either where clients have been thoroughly vetted (including due diligence, 'Know Your Customer', source of wealth, and tax transparency checks), where authorities ask us to maintain an account for the purposes of monitoring activity, or where an account has been frozen based on sanctions obligations." The Panama Papers leak has revealed that more than 500 banks, including their subsidiaries and branches, registered nearly 15,600 shell companies with Mossack Fonseca. Credit Suisse chief executive Tidjane Thiam said: "We do not condone structures for tax avoidance. Whenever there is a structure with a third party beneficiary we insist to know the identity of that beneficiary." He added: "We as a company, as a bank only encourage the use of structures when there is a legitimate economic purpose." And a spokesman for Coutts Trustees said the bank followed the highest standards when complying with regulation. He added: "We require all clients to be tax compliant as a condition of receiving our products and services and take a risk-based approach to identify and prevent tax evasion that relies upon extensive anti-money laundering systems and controls, including the requirement to understand the source of clients' wealth. "The provision of trust and administration services is an entirely legitimate and key aspect of wealth management and succession planning." The author of the acclaimed 1977 Glasgow detective novel Laidlaw had been ill for a short time. Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: "Shedding a tear at news of Willie McIlvanney's death. His writing meant so much to me when I was growing up. RIP." McIlvanney is survived by his partner Siobhan, daughter Siobhan and son Liam. Rebus author Ian Rankin described his death as "dreadful news". He said: "A truly inspired and inspiring author and an absolute gent." Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh said: "Absolutely gutted to hear this. An inspirational writer and one of the loveliest guys you could hope to meet." McIlvanney, describbed as The Godfather of Tartan Noir, was born in Kilmarnock and was the most-celebrated Scottish novelist of the 1970s. His 1975 novel Docherty brought him widespread acclaim before Laidlaw was hailed for changing the face of crime fiction. His older brother, renowned sports writer Hugh McIlvanney, has previously said William's writing always represented the voice and experience of ordinary folk but also their "great intelligence" and "vivid expression". "If you were in a pub in Kilmarnock, evidence of intelligence or a capacity to use words properly actually meant more than being hard," he said. "They had a lot of respect for hard men but they had even more respect for the word." William McIlvanney went to Glasgow University in 1955 and left in 1959 "transformed" and with a desire to be a writer. However, he spent most of the next two decades as a teacher at an Ayrshire high school before he pursued writing full-time. His first novel Remedy is None came out in 1966 but it was Docherty, in 1975, which brought him into the limelight. It earned him praise as "the authentic voice of the Scottish working class". McIvanney once said: "I remember an old ex-miner shaking my hand and crying and saying 'you've written my story, son'." Min Aung Hlaing said the military would "do what is best in co-operation with the new government during the post-election period". Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy is on track for a majority, taking about 80% of declared seats. But a quarter of parliamentary seats are allocated to the military, meaning it will remain hugely influential. Last weekend's vote was Myanmar's first openly contested general election for 25 years. The NLD won elections decisively in 1990 - only for the result to be nullified and Ms Suu Kyi placed under long-term house arrest. President Thein Sein and Min Aung Hlaing have congratulated Ms Suu Kyi on her party's performance in the polls, though have not formally conceded defeat. They have agreed to hold talks on national reconciliation with her after the final results are announced. More than 47% of results have been declared so far, and on Thursday morning, the NLD were said to be 38 seats short of a majority. The ruling military-backed Union Solidarity Development Party (USDP) - which won the last, widely criticised election five years ago - has so far gained about 5% of the seats being contested in Myanmar, also known as Burma. Four possible outcomes: how the NLD could win but not come out on top What the election means in one sleepy but crucial town: Aung San Suu Kyi: international symbol of peaceful resistance Elections explained: Why does this vote matter? US President Barack Obama called Myanmar's President Thein Sein on Thursday to congratulate him and the country on "a historic free and fair general election", government spokesman U Ye Htut has said. "And second he also wants to congratulate the NLD for their success in the election," U Ye Htut told the BBC. President Thein Sein has also pledged that his government "will respect the people's decision and choice and will hand over power as scheduled". Full profile About 30 million people were eligible to vote in Sunday's election in Myanmar. Turnout was estimated at about 80%. However, hundreds of thousands of people - including the Muslim Rohingya minority, who are not recognised as citizens - were denied voting rights. A quarter of the 664 parliamentary seats are set aside for the army and a handful were not contested, leaving 491 seats. For the NLD to have the winning majority and be able to select the president, it will need at least two-thirds of those seats. Highfields Community Association, which runs the Highfields Centre, is to lose nearly £300,000. The group said the building in Melbourne Road was well used. But city mayor Peter Soulsby has rejected this, insisting the group had not made best use of the building and was financially irresponsible. Five years ago the city council agreed to the Highfields Community centre - which provides a wide range of services for people living in the area - being independently run. However, the authority still provided £293,000 a year while it worked to become "self-sustaining". Now Mr Soulsby has announced funding will stop for a number of reasons, including lack of a business plan, and the centre being "significantly under-used". He said: "In all my years of experience of working with the council and in local government this has been the most difficult group I have ever experienced. "They really haven't wanted to enter into any sensible discussion with us, behaving as if they have a right to be given this very large cheque and allowed to spend it however they wish." Head of the centre, Priya Thamotheran, said the centre had seen over 400,000 users in the past four years and insisted the funding cut was unfair. "The decision has been taken without any consultation. There have been negotiations that have been ongoing for the past 18 months and it appears the city mayor has now decided to act without any further conversations. "For the past seven to eight months we have had no direct meeting with the city mayor. We would welcome the opportunity to talk through what may have been misunderstandings." That was slower than the 2.2% growth rate economists had been expecting and below third quarter growth of 3.5%. For the year, GDP rose by 1.6%, the slowest since 2011 and down on 2015 when the world's largest economy expanded by 2.6%. President Donald Trump has promised to lift GDP growth to 4%, through tax cuts and infrastructure spending. The last time that America's economy grew at that rate was in 2000, the year of the dotcom boom, when it expanded by 4.1%. While consumer spending rose in the quarter between October to December, the US Commerce Department said there had been a slowdown in exports and an increase in imports. Friday's figure is the first estimate of economic growth and is based on incomplete data. An updated estimate will be released on 26 February. Nancy Curtin, chief investment officer at Close Brothers Asset Management, said the data highlighted how the heightened political climate in the US and Europe had "put a pinch on US growth". She added: "Growth in jobs and the economy are the primary concerns of the new US administration and the levels of growth which have been talked about are very optimistic. Although she cautioned: "With the president less than one week in office and with key global trade agreements, including with the UK, still yet to be decided, it will be a while before we start to see the true impact of Trumponomics." However, Paul Ashworth, chief US economist at Capital Economics, said the slowdown was not a cause for alarm because the final half of the year was heavily influenced by a temporary swing in exports. In the third quarter there had been a spike in soybean exports which was not repeated in the final three months of the year. He said: "We would be wary of reading too much into the slowdown in GDP growth." Optimism about Mr Trump's economic policies has fuelled a rise on the stock market, which this week sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average through 20,000 for the first time. Full year growth of 1.6% places the US behind the UK, which this week reported that GDP rose by 2% last year. UK output also grew ahead of Germany, the so-called engine room of the European economy, which expanded by 1.9% last year. UK Prime Minister Theresa May is meeting Mr Trump on Friday, where post-Brexit trade opportunities are expected to be discussed. The UK cannot negotiate trade deals with other countries until it leaves the European Union, but Mr Trump has said he wants a "quick" deal after that. Shiv Kumar Yadav was also convicted of criminal intimidation and kidnapping. The 26-year-old woman was taken to a secluded area and raped after booking a journey home with Uber in December. Delhi later banned Uber and several other web-based taxi firms for many months, accusing them of failing to carry out adequate driver checks. The company apologised for the incident at the time and acknowledged that it "must do better". The woman had also filed a lawsuit against the service in a US court, which was later settled out of court. Yadav, who was wearing a white checked shirt, wiped away tears as the judge read out his sentence, the longest possible jail term for rape, reported AFP news agency. "He will serve regressive imprisonment, which shall mean imprisonment till natural death," judge Kaveri Baweja told the court in Delhi. Yadav's lawyer, DK Mishra, said he would appeal against the sentence in a higher court. "My client is innocent," he told reporters. The issue of sexual assault has been high on the agenda in India since a 23-year-old student was gang-raped and murdered on a bus in Delhi in December 2012. The case prompted global outrage and a tightening of laws on sexual violence. Correspondents say tougher laws have failed to bring down the number of rape cases and a series of high-profile crimes have taken place since then. Last month there was outrage in the capital after two children were raped on the same day. A week before that, a child was raped and slashed with a sharp object, and found unconscious near a railway track. The motion was defeated by 483 votes to 111, after all Tory, Lib Dem and Labour MPs had been instructed to oppose it. In total 81 Tories are known to have defied the whips, while others abstained. Labour leader Ed Miliband said the revolt was a "humiliation" for the prime minister. "If he can't win the argument with his own backbenchers, how can the country have confidence that he can win the arguments that matter for Britain?" he said. A Downing Street spokesman said many people who voted for the motion felt very strongly, and their views were respected. "However, the government has to do what is in the national interest. The easy thing to do would have been for us to have avoided expressing a view. It was important to take a strong lead - because Britain's best interests are served by being in the EU." The five-hour Commons debate on the issue was prompted after a petition was signed by more than 100,000 people. The motion called for a referendum on whether the UK should stay in the EU, leave it or renegotiate its membership. The government was expected to win easily - and even if it had lost, the result would not be binding on ministers. This is by far the biggest rebellion Mr Cameron has suffered since entering Downing Street. The previous largest Tory rebellion over Europe was in 1993, when 41 MPs defied John Major on the Maastricht Treaty. Education Secretary Michael Gove insisted on Tuesday that the time was not right for a referendum to take place. He told the BBC: "The most important thing is to make sure we get powers back, so we take more decisions here about employment, about growth, about jobs. These are critical issues. "At the moment David Cameron is battling in Europe in order to make sure that we can have those decisions taken here. It may be that in the future as a result of the battle David Cameron is fighting for Britain that a referendum may be needed, but my judgement is that we need to get those powers back." BBC political editor Nick Robinson says Mr Cameron will now face pressure to spell out what he means by promising "fundamental change" in the UK's relationship with Europe. Conservative MP David Nuttall, who proposed the motion, argued there were more than 40 million people of voting age in the UK who had not been consulted on the question of Europe. By Ross HawkinsPolitical correspondent, BBC News The Conservative leadership thought it would be bad. And it was. In fact, it was almost twice as bad as the worst rebellion David Cameron has suffered so far. The prime minister has always cast himself as a Eurosceptic. Many in his party have decided he is not nearly Eurosceptic enough. Some Tories think a referendum on EU membership is now a certainty. That is far from settled. After all, the Eurosceptics lost this vote. But they think they have won a place for an in-out referendum in the mainstream of Conservative thought. Commentators: Is this the end of Britain's EU debate? And he said the UK Parliament was becoming "ever more impotent" as the "tentacles" of the European Union "intruded into more and more areas of national life". In a statement to the Commons, Mr Cameron said he shared the rebels' "yearning for fundamental reform", and promised "the time for reform was coming". He insisted he remained "firmly committed" to "bringing back more powers" from Brussels, but on demands for a referendum, he said amid an economic crisis the timing was wrong and Britain's national interest was to be part of the EU. "When your neighbour's house is on fire, your first impulse should be to help them to put out the flames - not least to stop the flames reaching your own house," he said. Labour leader Ed Miliband, who saw 19 Eurosceptic MPs within his own party rebel, likened the Tories' divisions of Europe to a rerun of an old movie. He called the Tories an "out-of-touch party tearing itself apart over Europe". However, he did agree with the prime minister that it was the wrong time for a referendum. "The best answer to the concerns of the British people about the concerns of the European Union is to reform the way it works, not to leave it," he added. Tory backbenchers voiced their dismay at the three-line whip - the strongest order a party can give - on Conservative MPs, which meant any who voted against the government would be expected to resign from government jobs. Conservative MP Stewart Jackson told the Commons he would vote for the motion "with a heavy heart" and "take the consequences", which may mean losing his position as parliamentary private secretary to Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson. He said he wished there could have been a well-informed reasonable debate, instead of "heavy-handed whipping" and "catastrophic management" by his party. Fellow Tory MP Adam Holloway, a parliamentary private secretary to Europe minister David Lidington, rebelled and voted for the motion but said he still believed the prime minister was doing a good job. Anger was also directed towards Foreign Secretary William Hague, who earlier tried to quell the rebellion by calling the motion "a piece of graffiti". Later in the Commons, he said a referendum would "add to economic uncertainty at a dangerous and difficult time" and suggested most British people did not want to "say yes or no to everything in the EU". Tory MPs accused him of going native and abandoning his Eurosceptic views. The Lib Dems came under attack too, accused of being "charlatans" by Conservative MP Philip Davies for abandoning a manifesto pledge for an in-out referendum on the EU. But Lib Dem Martin Horwood insisted the party committed to an in-out referendum at the time of a fundamental shift (in Britain's relationship with the EU). Deputy Prime Minister and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has said it is the worst time for a debate about Britain leaving the EU as a "firestorm" engulfs the eurozone. One Liberal Democrat MP, Adrian Sanders, defied his party's leadership and voted for a referendum. The UK Independence Party, which campaigns for the UK to quit the EU, said the Conservatives were "tearing themselves apart" over Europe. Its leader Nigel Farage had urged MPs from all parties "to vote with their conscience, ahead of their party or career". In the coalition agreement, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems, a traditionally pro-European party, agreed to "ensure that the British government is a positive participant in the European Union, playing a strong and positive role with our partners". Massa, 35, has agreed with Williams to postpone his retirement for at least a year after Mercedes made a pitch for Bottas, 27, to replace Nico Rosberg. Rosberg announced his retirement after winning the world title last month. The deal for Bottas to leave Williams for Mercedes is also lined up and is set to be completed in the new year. Although the deals are not yet finalised, they are as good as done and both will happen over the coming fortnight, BBC Sport has learned. All the building blocks are now in place - Williams will let the Finnish driver go once a suitable deal with Mercedes for compensation is agreed and Massa has agreed to come back to F1 after announcing his retirement in September. Now, only the finishing touches need to be put in place, which is expected to happen following the Christmas period. They are the latest developments in a remarkable post-season period, which has seen a world champion retire, another driver reverse a decision to quit and the futures of several senior technical figures changed. Mercedes executive director (technical) Paddy Lowe will join Williams to run their team following the departure of their chief technical officer Pat Symonds, which was announced on Tuesday. Mercedes will replace Lowe with former Ferrari technical director James Allison. The 48-year-old is on 'gardening leave' from the Italian team but will be free to join Mercedes in the late spring or early summer of 2017. Williams and Mercedes were both unavailable for comment. Williams approached Massa after it became clear Bottas was Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff's number one choice to replace Rosberg. Wolff sees him as a close like-for-like replacement for the dependable Rosberg, alongside Mercedes' mercurial superstar Hamilton. An initial offer of a reduction of 10m euros (£8.4m) in their Mercedes engine bill was rejected but Williams will release Bottas for a better offer, which is expected to be close to their full engine bill of 17m euros (£14.3m). Once it had been decided the team could benefit overall from letting Bottas go, Williams needed an experienced driver to replace him. Their title sponsor, drinks giant Martini, requires at least one driver over 25 for promotional reasons - and Williams' other car will be driven by the 18-year-old Canadian novice Lance Stroll, who is bringing sponsorship said to be in the region of £20m to the team. Massa was open to reversing his decision because he only quit when it became clear there was no space for him at Williams or any other similarly competitive team. Media playback is not supported on this device The Briton hit back with a first and a third to close on Finn class leader Jonas Hogh-Christensen to three points with two races and the medal race left. Ainslie claimed Hogh-Christensen and Dutchman Pieter-Jan Postma teamed up against him, forcing him to do a penalty turn in race two. Ganging up is a hard allegation "They've made a big mistake," said three-time Olympic champion Ainslie. "They've made me angry and you don't want to make me angry." The 35-year-old resumed after the rest day with his pursuit of a fourth Olympic title in the balance. Ainslie had not managed to beat surprise leader Hogh-Christensen in any of the first six races and was 10 points behind the Dane. But he made an aggressive statement of intent in the first race in big waves and strong winds out in Weymouth Bay. Ainslie led off the start line leaving Hogh-Christensen in his wake, but the Dane fought back from eighth to fourth on the first downwind leg before capsizing and losing 30 seconds as he righted his boat. Postma overhauled Ainslie briefly but the Briton regained the lead to cross the finish line with a substantial gap and pumped his fists in delight. Hogh-Christensen came home in eighth to see his overall lead narrow to four points. "I had a day off yesterday and I watched the girls winning the gold medal in the rowing and Bradley Wiggins smashing the time trial and that was a big inspiration," said Ainslie. "I thought to myself, 'If they can go out and do that, why can't I?' "You see British people performing really well at the highest level and it inspires you to do the same." In race two, the action heated up even more as the Dane and the Dutchman both claimed Ainslie hit a mark. Ainslie says he did not, but took a penalty turn as a precaution, fearing he would lose in the protest room later with two voices against one. But that fired him up and he made up 70m on the final downwind leg to overtake Hogh-Christensen for third. After crossing the line, Ainslie was seen to gesture angrily towards the Dane. "The Dutch and the Danish guys teamed up against me to claim I hit the mark when I didn't," said Ainslie. "I was seriously unhappy about that. It's disappointing. It's happened to me a lot in the Olympics before but I guess I'm older and wise enough to know not to fall for it. "But those guys better watch out. I can tell you, it's made me pretty angry to make amends. It is sport, they're going to take any advantage they can. I don't particularly appreciate it because I'm sure I didn't hit the mark. Maybe their time will come." Ainslie was the subject of a protest from a French sailor in the second race in Athens and opted not to take a penalty turn at the time. He lost his argument in the protest room later and was disqualified from the race, giving him a 26th place. That result instantly became the one score he would discard and left him with no room for error for the rest of the regatta, and he was forced to fight extra hard to secure his third gold. Hogh-Christensen was unrepentant and claims he saw Ainslie hit the mark. "Ganging up is a hard allegation," he said. "I don't think anybody teams up to call somebody on that. "I saw him hit the mark, I think the Dutch guy saw him hit the mark, so if two guys see it, it's probably because he hit the mark. There was no bad words from either of us, we just called him on it. "He decided to do what he had to do and he took his penalty. If he was so sure he didn't hit the mark, why do you take the penalty? "The exchange of words was probably unnecessary but that's the way life is. What Ben said is between me and Mr Ainslie." The Oban lifeboat was sent to the scene at about 16:55 after Stornoway coastguard reported that a vessel was in "serious trouble". The man had put down his anchor to avoid hitting rocks on the Falls of Lora at the mouth of Loch Etive. His boat was towed out of the current to safety. He was taken to hospital for treatment to a hand injury. The Falls of Lora are a set of overfalls which form white water rapids when a particularly high tide runs out from the loch. The US economy added 271,000 jobs in October, far exceeding the 185,000 jobs that economists had forecast. In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 index closed down 1.83% at 5,119.50 points on falling commodity prices. Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei index closed up 1.96% at 19,642.74 on a weaker yen. The strong job numbers gave the US dollar a boost against the yen, which is good for Japan's big exporters, as it makes their goods cheaper to buy overseas. "With [Fed chair] Janet Yellen holding firm on a December rate hike expectation during her testimony to Congress on Thursday, and then the massive beat from the non-farm payrolls on Friday, 2015 has been realigned with the beginning of the year's expectations of at least one rate hike," said Evan Lucas from IG Markets. In South Korea, the Kospi index closed down 0.75% at 2,025.70 points. Separately, Sydney-listed shares of mining giant BHP Billiton closed down 5.64% on Monday following a fatal accident at an iron ore operation in Minas Gerais, Brazil on 5 November. Two dams holding waste water from the mine collapsed on Thursday sending a huge wall of red sludge over the south-eastern village of Bento Rodrigues. BHP said that details were still emerging regarding how many Samarco employees and contractors had been caught up in the accident. "At this stage, Samarco has advised that there is at least one confirmed fatality, with a further 13 members of the workforce missing," the firm said. The mine is a joint operation between BHP and Brazilian metal and mining giant Vale, while Samarco mining company owns the dams. China's markets Investors were closely watching stocks in China on Monday, following disappointing trade numbers and after the country's securities regulator said it would lift a five-month ban on mainland initial public offerings (IPOs). In China, the Shanghai Composite closed up 1.58% at 3,646.88, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index ended down 0.6% to 22,726.77 points. Official numbers released by China on the weekend showed a drop in the country's imports for the 12th month in a row in October. Imports fell 18.8% from a year earlier to $130.8bn, a slight improvement on September's 20.4% decline - but still giving further cause for concern over the Chinese economy. Exports by the world's second-biggest economy dropped 6.9% to $192.4bn, marking a fourth consecutive monthly fall. In their Hong Kong debut, shares of China International Capital Corp (CICC) - a large joint venture investment bank - finished up 1.1% after being higher by as much as 6% in early trade. The lender, which is state-backed, raised $811m in its IPO last month. Team Sky rider and defending champion Froome, 31, denied fellow Briton Adam Yates the race lead but Yates retained the young riders' white jersey. British riders have won five of the first eight stages of the Tour. They also hold three of the four jerseys after Mark Cavendish kept the green points jersey. The Team Dimension Data sprinter, who has won three stages in this Tour, finished more than 39 minutes behind Froome on a punishing second day in the Pyrenees, which included four mountains and temperatures approaching 30C. Overnight race leader Greg van Avermaet lost almost 25 minutes to tumble well down the classification. Froome was involved in more drama before the 17km descent to the finish, with TV pictures appearing to show him striking a spectator. But the 2013 and 2015 winner, who was spat at by fans and had urine thrown on him during last year's Tour, said he was taking evasive action. "This guy in particular was running right next to my handlebars that had a flag that was flying behind him," said Froome. "It was just getting dangerous, so I pushed him away. I lashed out and pushed him away. "It's fantastic having so many fans out on the route but please, please, I urge the fans: don't try and run with the riders. It's really dangerous for the guys behind." Following that altercation, Team Sky increased the pace during the last climb of the 183km stage from Pau to Bagneres-de-Luchon. Froome, a renowned climber, was first over the 1,569m summit, and then immediately attacked, catching his rivals, including Movistar's Nairo Quintana, by surprise. Sitting on the crossbar of his bike rather than the saddle in an attempt to make himself more aerodynamic, Froome broke clear to win by 13 seconds. A 10-second time bonus for winning the stage gave him a 23-second advantage over Quintana and BMC's Tejay van Garderen, with Tinkoff's Alberto Contador now three minutes and 12 seconds adrift. Froome said his attack on the descent "definitely wasn't planned". "It was really just a spur of the moment thing," he said. "I felt like a kid again, just trying to ride my bike as fast as I could. "I was taking a risk but I'm glad I did. I couldn't be happier to be back in yellow." Team Sky team principal David Brailsford said: "When people start thinking you're predictable and conservative and everything else, you always have the element of surprise. We thought we'd use that this year. "The descent shows a lot about Chris. He made the decision and when he sees the opportunity, he takes it and he never ceases to amaze. That's why he's won two Tours de France. " Froome's surge down the Col de Peyresourde denied Yates the overall lead on a day where the yellow jersey looked like it could end up with several different riders. Orica-BikeExchange rider Yates started the day with stitches in his chin after he crashed when an inflatable road marker collapsed on him on Friday, one kilometre from the end of stage seven. His position was revised to second place overall at the start of Saturday's stage and he kept in touch with the leaders as Belgian Van Avermaet slipped behind the peloton on the day's second climb. Frenchman Thibaut Pinot appeared to have a chance of wearing yellow when he made an early break, but he was caught on the third climb, seemingly giving Bury's Yates the advantage in the race for yellow. He held a seven-second advantage over Froome at the start and was in touch at the top of the last mountain, but the Kenya-born rider's attack established a decisive lead on the group that Yates was a part of. Yates said: "I got off pretty lucky [after the crash on stage seven], but I'm OK and today was tough. I just tried to hang on. "It was a full gas day from start to finish. There's nothing more I could do today." "It would have been nice to have the yellow but Chris Froome will be on the top step in Paris, so it's no shame to be behind him on GC." 1.

"We've got the makings of a very good squad," said Berghan. "And there's a lot of talent coming through the ranks. "It's now about bringing it together and pushing on in the coming season." New Zealand-born tight-head Berghan joined Edinburgh in 2014 from Crusaders Knights, the development squad of Super Rugby franchise the Crusaders. "I've loved my time at Edinburgh Rugby so far," he said. "Front-row is a highly-competitive position and that will only drive standards. "The battle for a starting spot will be extremely tough but one in which I'll be looking to thrive." Berghan, who qualifies for Scotland via a grandfather from Stirling, was named in the national squad for the first time for this year's Six Nations. He made his debut off the bench against France and had further replacement outings against England and Italy. Berghan also made 13 appearances, 10 of them starts, for Edinburgh this season. "Simon is another great addition to our pack, especially taking into account his form of late," said Hodge, who will revert to his old role as attack coach under Cockerill. "He seems to have relished his shot at international rugby and has been using that experience to further develop his game on returning to Edinburgh. "He's still relatively young for a front-row, so we're looking forward to seeing him develop even further as part of our pack in the coming years." Lock Anton Bresler is the only out-of-contract player whose future is as yet unconfirmed by Edinburgh. Fenton Hogan was found collapsed at his home in Cotswold Close, Frankley, and died in July last year. Kelly Emery, 32, from Birmingham, was arrested in February and charged on Tuesday. Birmingham Magistrates' Court remanded her in custody to appear at the city's Crown Court on 24 September. Everly died in the Los Angeles suburb of Burbank of complications from lung disease, his wife, Patti, told the Los Angeles Times. "We are absolutely heartbroken," she said, adding that the disease was the result of a lifetime of smoking. Phil Everly and his brother Don made up the Everly Brothers, one of the biggest pop acts of the 1950s and early 1960s. In a statement to the Associated Press, Don said: "I loved my brother very much. I always thought I'd be the one to go first. "The world might be mourning an Everly Brother, but I'm mourning my brother Phil Everly.'' The pair had a string of close-harmony hits including Wake Up Little Suzie, Cathy's Clown, Bye Bye Love, and All I Have To Do Is Dream. "It's a terrible, terrible loss - for me, for everybody," US rock pioneer Duane Eddy, a friend of Everly, told BBC Radio 5live. Everly died on Friday of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, his son Jason Everly told AP. Rolling Stone magazine calls the Everly Brothers "the most important vocal duo in rock". In its biography of the pair, the magazine says Phil and his older brother Don were the children of Midwestern country music singers Ike and Margaret Everly and performed on the family radio show while growing up. In their heyday between 1957 and 1962, the Everly Brothers had 19 Top 40 hits, according to the Associated Press. They influenced acts such as the Beatles and the Beach Boys. The pair had an onstage breakup in 1973 that led to a decade-long estrangement, but Phil later told Time magazine the brothers' relationship had survived this. "Don and I are infamous for our split," Phil said, "but we're closer than most brothers." The Everly Brothers were elected to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in its first year, 1986, and they were given a lifetime achievement award at the Grammys in 1997. Among the musicians paying tribute to the singer and guitarist, was singer-songwriter Charlie Daniels, who tweeted: "Rest in peace Phil Everly. You guys brought us a lot of pleasure back in the day." The US government-funded Radio Free Asia (RFA), seen by many as one of the few reliable sources of information on Xinjiang, reported that, a few days earlier, a group of "knife wielding suspects" had killed at least 40 workers and police at a mine in the remote Aksu prefecture. As is often the case, there was no confirmation at the time from any official Chinese sources and the story had no bearing on Mr Osborne's visit. But now we do have the confirmation and the account given paints a troubling backdrop to what was meant to be a rare showcasing of Xinjiang and its economic prospects to the outside world. In the first public mention of the coalmine assault, the Xinjiang Daily describes it as "a violent terrorist attack under the direct command of an overseas extremist organisation". Sixteen people, including five police officers were killed, it said - far fewer than suggested by the earlier RFA report - and another 18 people injured. It is unclear why the government waited so long to confirm that the incident took place but the timing will raise questions, particularly because the first details of the extraordinary police response emerged on Saturday, the day after the Paris attacks. Making reference to the bloody events unfolding in France, China's Ministry of Public Security posted dramatic pictures of security forces searching a remote area of rugged terrain in Xinjiang, engaged in a large-scale manhunt for a group of "terrorists." The message seemed to be clear: China is a victim too. "Today, Paris encountered the most serious terrorist attacks in its history," said the accompanying text. "Chinese Xinjiang police made an important achievement against terrorists after a 56 day fight!!!" Perhaps recognising that the post might be viewed by some as crude political opportunism and in poor taste, it was quickly deleted. But six days later, alongside the account of the violence at the mine, the story and the photographs of the police operation have resurfaced. The reports say that a total of 10,000 people were involved, including, the photos seem to suggest, a kind of people's militia, armed with sticks and clubs. "Aside from one person who surrendered, 28 thugs were completely annihilated," the newspaper said. China is engaged in a heavy security crackdown on what it says is the growing threat of separatist terrorists among Xinjiang's mainly Muslim Uighur population. Over the past week, senior Chinese leaders have been urging foreign governments to see its restive western region as part of the international struggle against terrorism. Today's reports linking the Aksu mine attack to "overseas extremists" repeats a line often used by state media, but one that is treated with some scepticism by outside observers. Although there can be no doubt that violent attacks on Chinese civilian targets have grown more extreme in recent years, they have mostly involved crude weaponry. Some experts suggest this is one of the signs that the militants are part of a more limited, home-grown network, rather than a sophisticated, well funded cross-border conspiracy Human rights groups say the harsh restrictions placed on Uighur religion and culture are fuelling resentment and violence. The photographs of the manhunt are likely to confirm their suspicions that the heavy security response is all too often part of the problem. In another recent report, quoting local Xinjiang police sources, RFA suggests that 17 of those killed came from just three families and included women and children. The fact that such an operation was being launched while Chancellor George Osborne was in the region plugging British business ties will once again raise the question of whether he should have been there at all. The Saturday night show was given a darker edge in the second series. The announcement comes after the BBC said it would not be re-commissioning its Bafta award-winning BBC Three series In The Flesh because of budgets. The second half of series two is due to air soon. In a statement the BBC said: "The final seven episodes of Atlantis will transmit on BBC One in spring. "We would like to thank Urban Myth Films and all the cast and crew but the series will not be re-commissioned. "We are very proud of both series but to keep increasing the range of BBC One drama we have to make difficult decisions to bring new shows through." The show starred Jack Donnelly as Jason, Mark Addy as Hercules and Robert Emms as Pythagoras with supporting roles from Sarah Parish, Juliet Stevenson, Aiysha Hart and Jemima Rooper. Last week the BBC announced a raft of new exclusive content for the BBC iPlayer, including nine original comedy shorts and specific programmes starring the likes of Tinie Tempah and Abbey Clancy. The BBC's controller of television, Danny Cohen, told Newsbeat: "The thing about our dramas is that if you want to try new things, you have to make room for the new things and you have to stop spending money on the ones that are there already to create the space for the new things. "So there was a time when we had to stop doing something in order to create the space for In The Flesh. Now we have to move on again, so that we can keep providing exciting new things for audiences. "Along with those two announcements, we also announced a brand new drama for BBC Three, 13. So you have to keep creating space, you have to keep trying new things, otherwise you keep offering the audience the things they had before."

The proposal has already been backed by the upper house. It is expected to be signed into law within two weeks. President Jose Mujica has been championing the bill. Despite opposition from the Roman Catholic Church in Uruguay, 71 out of 92 deputies have voted in favour of the measure. By Vladimir HernandezBBC Mundo A wave of reform seems to be sweeping through Uruguay. Its Congress has started to debate the possible legalisation of cannabis, it passed a law to give women the right to opt for an abortion, and now it has allowed gay couples to marry. Uruguay has become the second country in the Latin America, after Argentina, to legalise same-sex marriages. This has attracted criticism from some sectors, such as the Roman Catholic Church, which say that the law weakens the institution of marriage. According to Ignacio Zuasnabar, director of the Uruguayan pollster Equipos: "There has been more acceptance of gay marriage in recent years as public opinion seems in favour of giving more rights to same-sex couples. "Things are different with other divisive subjects, like the possible legalisation of cannabis and the recent law that approved abortions, which have more polarised views or simply a majority of people that disapprove of them," he told the BBC. "Freedom, freedom," shouted activists who were attending the session in the Congress building in Montevideo as the result was announced. "Same-sex couples have always existed," said Mr Mujica, a former left-wing guerrilla, in a television interview with Russia Today earlier this year. The Marriage Equality Law was approved by the Senate last week by 23 votes to 8. It allows same-sex couples to choose the order of the surnames of the children they adopt. And it also increases the age of consent for sexual relations to 16, from the current 12 for women and 14 for men. In recent years, Uruguay has moved to allow same-sex civil unions, adoption by gay couples, and to allow gay members of the armed forces. Uruguay's neighbour Argentina legalised gay marriage in 2010. Same-sex marriages have been legal in Mexico City since 2009. In May, Brazil's Supreme Court voted overwhelmingly in favour of allowing same-sex couples the same legal rights as married heterosexuals. When patients were asked for feedback, the poor quality of hospital meals was mentioned more often than anything else. So Duncan Burton decided to do something about it - starting with the breakfasts. Out went the limp bread and plain cereals and in came scrambled eggs, toast, porridge and fruit during the week, with sausages and bacon on offer at the weekends. Despite the challenges of providing toasters around the hospital and not setting off fire alarms during the toasting process, he knew the extra hassle would be worth it. "You can't have breakfast without toast," he says. "It's more reflective of what people have in their own home." Mr Burton, who is director of nursing and patient experience at the acute hospital, where there are about 520 beds, knew that good nutrition and appetising food was fundamental to patients' healing and recovery. He also knew it had an impact on general wellbeing. With a high proportion of elderly in-patients, including many with dementia, Duncan and his team started reworking the menu with them in mind. They were helped in their task by dieticians, caterers and patients themselves - but perhaps the most useful input came from hospital volunteers who sit with patients and help feed them. They suggested finger food for those who wanted to eat only small amounts and for dementia patients because it was easier for them to eat. So instead of being faced with an off-putting plate of non-descript meat, veg and mash, they are now given small bite-sized items such as small sandwiches, grapes, cucumber sticks and quiche slices. That way, patients can eat a little and often, grazing throughout the day. Rather than being offered an orange or an apple, which can be awkward to get into, they are given apple slices or a soft satsuma. There are also new light meal options including homemade soups, omelettes, sandwiches and salads. And there's a recognition that patients may not want to eat only healthy food. "You're not going to change people's eating habits when they are not feeling well," Mr Burton says. "If you can get them to eat a piece of cake, then fine... at least it is some nutrition." And the introduction of freshly baked cakes served to patients in the afternoon has been a triumph, particularly when the aroma reaches patients before the cakes do. As well as finger food, Kingston Hospital has brought in food packs for people who are discharged and live on their own. These packs contain milk, bread, butter and tea-bags - the basics that can help vulnerable and elderly people through the first day or so back at home. In maternity wards, a plate of hot food is on offer 24 hours a day "because babies arrive at all times of the day and night". The menu for children was revamped too, with the help of local school children and paediatric patients. Children are now offered a finger box of crackers, cheese, fruit, sandwiches, cucumber sticks and biscuits or a hot meal option from a choice of meatballs, tuna pasta bake, fish fingers and vegetable curry. There are still challenges however - providing more healthy food for more than 3,000 staff and contractors who work at the hospital is next on the list. The menu changes, which were first discussed in 2014, were achieved without any extra funding for food, but the meals are brought in and "regenerated" on site rather than being cooked freshly in hospital kitchens. And that's down to space - or the lack of it, Duncan Burton says. "Some trusts do have that space, but it's not something we can do. "Instead, catering staff are on site and are able to heat food up and serve it. Some fresh food is still made on site." Kingston is not the only hospital in that position. In a recent report from the Campaign for Better Hospital Food, which surveyed 30 London hospitals, only 30% cooked all food freshly on site. The campaign group also said half of hospitals surveyed were failing to meet basic food standards set down by the NHS. But in this south-west London hospital, patient feedback shows little criticism of the food any more and there is evidence of a reduction in patients with pressure sores and ulcers - a sign that they are eating better and recovering more quickly. Hannah Bladon, 20, was attacked as she was travelling on a light rail train near the Old City, in Israel, on Good Friday. Jamil Tamimi, 57, faces a charge of intentional murder over the attack on the University of Birmingham student. The Derby County fan had been taking part in an exchange programme at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here Ms Bladon's family said the student, from from Burton-upon-Trent, had been taking part in an archaeological dig that morning and described her as a "talented musician" and "enthusiastic rugby player". The train was busy at the time of the attack as Christians marked Good Friday and Jews celebrated Passover. A pregnant woman and a 50-year-old man were also injured when the tram came to a sudden stop in the aftermath of the attack. Smith originally joined Wrexham in 2014 but moved to Gateshead in May 2016 after being released by former Dragons boss Gary Mills. The 28-year-old scored five goals in 47 games for Gateshead, who have agreed to cancel his contract. "Fans here know what he's about and I'm looking forward to working with him," Wrexham manager Dean Keates said. "In his first season here, he didn't miss a minute of any game. So for the club and the squad we are building, it's massive to have another character like Manny." Gateshead said they had cancelled the Halesowen-based player's contract early due to family reasons. "It was an incredibly tough decision to let a player like Manny leave the Gateshead under such circumstances," the club said in a statement. "We'd like to thank him for his fine contributions to the club and wish him the very best for the future." American, Etihad, Emirates, Singapore and Turkish Airlines will have to obey European laws or be taken to court. All had told the Civil Aviation Authority that they did not pay compensation when their delays meant passengers missed a connecting flight. But compensation is in fact due if passengers arrive at their final destination more than three hours late. Richard Moriarty, Director of Consumers and Markets at the CAA, said he was disappointed at the airlines' stance. "Airlines' first responsibility should be looking after their passengers, not finding ways in which they can prevent passengers upholding their rights. "So it's disappointing to see a small number of airlines continuing to let a number of their passengers down by refusing to pay them the compensation they are entitled to. "Where we see evidence of passengers systematically being denied their rights, we will not hesitate to take the necessary action to ensure airlines change their policies and their customers get the assistance they are entitled to," he added. Which? said that the government should ensure the continuance of passenger rights after the UK leaves the EU. It said there should also be an ombudsman service that all airlines should be required to join. In 2015 the CAA took similar action against Aer Lingus, Jet2 and Wizz Air. For more than a decade airlines have objected ferociously to the European Union rules of 2004 which lay down when compensation must be paid for certain types of delay. The law was subsequently clarified in favour of passengers by decisions of the European Parliament, European Courts of Justice, and the UK Appeal Court in 2014. But every year thousands of disgruntled passengers still have to sue, or threaten to sue, their airlines who try to stall before making compensation payments. For instance, Emirates is involved in a case that is going to the Appeal Court after refusing to pay flight delay compensation to some passengers. And the policy of Singapore airlines is to put compensation claims "on hold" if they involve connecting flights, the CAA said. The current rules on cash compensation for delays - which must be the fault of the airline - cover flights departing from an EU airport and operated by any airline; or flights arriving at an EU airport and operated by an EU airline: The CAA said that Emirates was the airline about which it received most complaints for non-payment of compensation. Meanwhile the Spanish low-cost airline Vueling is also being told by the UK regulator to comply with the industry's minimum requirements, to give passengers help if their flights are disrupted. If any of the airlines refuse to obey the regulator and are taken to court they could, in law, be fined an unlimited amount.

The Kenyan, 32, clocked 2:00.25 but because in-out pacemakers were used, the time will not be recognised as a world record, meaning Dennis Kimetto's mark of 2:02.57 is still the quickest. But Kipchoge said: "This is history." Eritrea's Zersenay Tadese and Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia also raced in the behind-closed-doors Nike event in Italy but faded earlier in the attempt. The three athletes chased the landmark time running 2.4km laps on the Monza Grand Prix circuit, 63 years to the day since Britain's Roger Bannister ran the first ever sub four-minute mile. Monza was chosen by the sportswear company for its gentle corners and favourable climatic conditions. Small groups of pacemakers ran pre-defined segments of the circuit before handing over to another group, and the trio did not have to slow down for feed stations as drinks were delivered by scooter. Kipchoge ran each mile at an average pace of around four minutes and 36 seconds. To achieve a sub-two clocking, the Olympic champion would have effectively had to run 17 seconds for 100 metres 422 times in a row. He lapped 27-year-old Desisa, who finished in 2:14.10, while Tadese, 35, came home in 2:06.51. Kipchoge always looked the stronger and was on target pace with around seven miles to go but he began grimacing in the closing stages and though he tried to sprint up the home straight, his fatigue was obvious. Pacemakers applauded and encouraged him as he approached the line and the clocking comfortably outstrips his recognised personal best of 2:03.05, set at the London Marathon in 2016. "I'm happy to have run two hours for the marathon," added Kipchoge. "My mind was fully on the two hours but the last kilometre was behind the schedule. This journey has been good - it has been seven months of dedication." Women's world-record holder Paula Radcliffe called Kipchoge's run "truly inspiring". Only a select few media were allowed in to witness the attempt at the race circuit near Milan and Kipchoge's time was initially reported to be a second quicker until Nike confirmed the 2:00.25 clocking. The brand paid the three runners to forgo the London and Berlin Marathons this year prompting some criticism of the event given the resources invested and the fact it will not count as a legitimate record. Nike's big corporate rival, Adidas, is planning its own sub two-hour marathon attempt but wants to do so in a race setting. BBC athletics commentator Ed Harry Eliud Kipchoge is, I believe, the greatest physical specimen ever to line up on a marathon start line. If he can't run sub-two, then I don't see another athlete that will do it any time soon. Kipchoge ran close to the legitimate world record in London in 2016, and perhaps would have broken it in Berlin the year before if his shoes that day hadn't lost their insoles. He's made history of sorts in Monza, and he's right to be proud of pushing the boundaries. What he needs to do now is break the world record on an IAAF-recognised course. He has the talent to do that and the world record is all that's missing from a phenomenal career.

Eliud Kipchoge missed out on becoming the first athlete to run under two hours for the marathon by 26 seconds.

John Hesp, 64, made it to the final table at the World Series of Poker (WSOP), in Las Vegas, and won $2.6m (£2m) by finishing fourth. He said was trying to persuade organisers to bring the competition to the resort next year. Mr Hesp said it was the next item on his bucket list. Mr Hesp's progress captivated the poker world, with many of the game's biggest names rooting for him. The semi-retired businessman, who paid $10,000 (£7,000) to enter the tournament, won admirers for his colourful dress sense and cheerful demeanour at the table. Mr Hesp, who runs a caravan centre in Bridlington, said he entered the competition because he "just wanted to play some poker with some professionals". He hoped his success would have some sway in convincing organisers to consider his request. So, what could visitors to the resort expect, and how does it compare to Vegas? Las Vegas Bottas' win moved him to within 10 points of team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the championship, and 23 behind Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel. The Finn said he was now aiming to win the next race in Spain this weekend. "It would be stupid not to go for the win - that is going to be the only goal in every race," Bottas said. "It is always possible and what is so exciting this year is going to every race I know there is an opportunity for the race win." The 27-year-old joined Mercedes last winter as a replacement for world champion Nico Rosberg, who retired after winning the title. In an exclusive interview with BBC Radio 5 live, Bottas said he believes he can build on the boost in self-belief provided by his maiden win, which came in his 81st race. "It does make a difference and it is always a confidence boost when you have a good result and many times you can carry on that momentum," he said. "I feel the main momentum at the moment is how I have been able to improve every single qualifying and race, and I want to keep that, improving all the time." Bottas was third behind Vettel and Hamilton in Australia, but spun while warming his tyres behind the safety car in China and finished only sixth as Hamilton won. He took his first career pole in the third grand prix in Bahrain, where he finished third after twice being told to move over for his faster team-mate. But in Russia he dominated Hamilton all weekend, out-qualifying the three-time champion by nearly 0.5 seconds and taking an impressive win under pressure from Vettel as the Briton struggled to fourth. Bottas said he was approaching the challenge of trying to beat Hamilton by trying to concentrate only on his own work. "The main thing for me is to keep doing what I'm doing and focus on my own thing," he said. "You need to believe in yourself and know you can be at a competitive level but the main thing is really just keep going and work hard and focus on your own job. "And my job is to drive the car as quickly as possible. There are many details that go into that but that doesn't change whatever the situation is, whoever is the team-mate." Earlier this month, while hosting the team at State House, President Museveni promised to reward each of the players and officials for reaching the Nations Cup after 39 years of waiting. "Yes, 30 players and six officials have received their payment," Uganda FA President, Moses Magogo told BBC Sport. Magogo thanked the President for the good gesture and promised that the national team and the federation will continue to work hard to develop and promote football. Magogo also explained that six other players and four officials have not received the payment, despite their account details being sent in. The FA President said the authorities who were handling the payments in the President's office had reduced the numbers. Among the players to miss out are defenders Hassan Wasswa Mawanda and Nicholas Wadada. "I have not received my money yet, but I have been told they are working on the matter so that I receive the money," Mawanda told BBC Sport. Although President Museveni had promised to give out US$15,000 each, the ministry of Education and Sport clarified that US$10,000 had been paid out, with an aim to pay out US$15,000 in the future to match other nations' rates. Uganda is the only country in the Cecafa region to have qualified for the 2017 Nations Cup. The Cranes are also in the group stages of the 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifiers. The high court order in May allowed her to return as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu state. She had to step down after a trial court found her guilty of amassing wealth of more than $10m (??6.4m) The case was heard in Karnataka because of concerns the process would not be fair in Tamil Nadu. On Tuesday, the Karnataka government lodged an appeal in the Supreme Court asking it to set aside the high court verdict and restore Ms Jayalalitha's disqualification. The Supreme court is expected to hear the appeal only after the end of court vacations in a few weeks. Karnataka's special public prosecutor, BV Acharya, had told BBC Hindi soon after Ms Jayalalitha's acquittal on 11 May that the high court verdict was riddled with "arithmetical errors'" and alleged that the prosecution was not given an opportunity to present its case. In overturning the guilty verdict against Ms Jayalalitha, the appeals court had said that the "disproportionate assets" owned by the Tamil Nadu chief minister were less than 10% of her total wealth and were, therefore, not irregular. Mr Acharya contends that the appeals court got its figures entirely wrong. He claims that instead of adding up Ms Jayalalitha's assets to 240m rupees ($3.8m; ??2.4m), the judgement had wrongly put the figure at 100m rupees. Similar discrepancies had been pointed out in evaluating her properties, he adds. Jayalalitha, a former actress, is one of India's most controversial and colourful politicians. She has been a leading figure in south Indian politics for three decades. The event at Sandwell Valley Country Park, West Bromwich, was held after Joel Richards, 19, died near Sousse alongside his uncle and grandfather. Mr Richards, from Wednesbury, was a referee and student at the University of Worcester. Money was raised for the Victim Support charity after more than 1,000 people took part in the 11 September event. Read more news for Birmingham and the Black Country Mr Richards' mother Suzy Evans said she was "overwhelmed" by the amount raised following the 5k and 3k runs. She said: "He would be smiling from ear to ear and he would just love the fact that we all came together and celebrated and remembered everybody that didn't come home. "I'm sure he would have loved it and he would have loved seeing so many people doing the run. He was all about fitness." Mr Richards, a Walsall FC fan, died alongside his uncle Adrian Evans, grandfather Patrick Evans and 35 others in terror attacks near Sousse. Walsall manager Jon Whitney took part in one of the two runs that were held last month. A report from Audit Scotland last year found the health board needs to make savings of about £175m over the next five years. The new team will help to implement recommendations made by an independent advisory group. Bosses at NHS Grampian and NHS Fife have been appointed to the team. Paul Gray, chief executive of NHS Scotland, said Tayside was making progress but needed further assistance to bring about the changes needed to balance its finances. The transformation support team consists of: Mr Gray said: "NHS Tayside is taking steps to improve patient care and achieve financial balance through its five year transformation programme. "However, what is clear today is that the board will benefit from assistance to achieve the pace of change required. "I have therefore decided to put in place a senior level team with specific expertise in finance, HR and planning who will work alongside NHS Tayside's executive team to support the implementation of the required scale of change required across the organisation." The advisory team, which has been working with the health board for three months, will review progress in implementing its recommendations. Prof John Connell, chairman of NHS Tayside, said the health board was grateful for the support it was receiving and the advisory group's report on its financial situation. He said: "It reaffirms the major challenges that NHS Tayside faces in delivering healthcare for the population of the region within its financial resource limit. "There are no concerns in the report in relation to the quality of care delivered to our patients, their families and our local communities each and every day, and we would reassure them that safe and effective person-centred care remains at the heart of all that we do and that will not change." Prof Connell added: "Our staff remain critical to achieving the transformation of healthcare in Tayside and I would like to thank them for their continued care, dedication and commitment to our patients and their families." Spanning 1,000 years, the Song, Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain was collected by Roger Pilkington, who lived Aldbourne, Wiltshire. The items inspired a bidding frenzy and made three times their £14m estimate at Sotheby's in Hong Kong. One lot, a blue and white Moonflask from the 15th Century, sold for £10.1m, including commissions and taxes. Nicolas Chow, from Sotheby's Asia, said the late Mr Pilkington had been "one of the most astute collectors of Chinese ceramics of all time" with an "all consuming passion" for the items. "The collection charts the entire development of Chinese porcelain particularly during the Ming period and contains some extraordinarily rare items," he said. "The rose water sprinkler, the holy water vessel, for example, is one of only three pieces known in the world - one of which is in the Beijing Palace Museum." Comprising around 100 lots, Mr Chow said the hammer price had been boosted as "very few people were even aware of the existence of this treasure trove". "We were taken by surprise. We have never seen such frenzied bidding in an auction room, there were paddles flying in the air and very, very long auction battles on some of the items," he said. "The fact that this was totally fresh and unseen for the last 50 years is what gave so much energy to the room." Mr Pilkington was a distant relative of the Lancashire glass-making family of the same name. Roxana Baldetti is accused of leading a scheme in which millions were spent on a product to decontaminate the lake. Testing revealed the product, which was never used, was mainly sea water. Ms Baldetti also faces charges, along with ex-President Otto Perez Molina, over alleged corruption in a customs duties scheme. The judge also ordered that her brother, Mario Baldetti, be detained over the plan, and some 15 more people are implicated in the alleged fraud. Lake Amatitlan, about 30km (20 miles) south of the capital, Guatemala City, was once a popular weekend getaway for the wealthy. But the lake became polluted with untreated sewage from the populated outskirts of the capital. In March last year, the Roxana Baldetti told the media she had a "magic solution" and that she would restore the lake to its past glory. Prosecutors allege Ms Baldetti received bribes, after she urged the government to award a contract to a company which would provide a chemical to clean up the lake. Ms Baldetti denied this and said she received no money for the contract. She is also accused of setting up her brother Mario Baldetti as head of the authority responsible for managing the lake. Pressure from environmentalists and civic groups forced the suspension of the project and the "magic solution" was never used. The government was persuaded to order the tests that revealed that it was in fact mostly sea water. Ms Baldetti is already in jail for involvement in a corruption scheme in the customs department alongside her former boss, ex-President Otto Perez Molina. One ahead at the halfway stage, Smith, the Australian world number 112, and 252nd-ranked Blixt of Sweden carded a four-under 68 in the foursomes format. The pair have yet to return a bogey and reached 19 under for the event. Britain's Ian Poulter, playing with Australian Geoff Ogilvy, is nine shots off the lead in a share of 15th place. Saturday's alternate shot format did not produce the sizzling scores seen in better ball fourballs on Friday when Blixt and Smith combined for a 62, but Blixt's 123-yard third shot at the last left Smith a tap-in for their fourth birdie of the day. World number five Jordan Spieth, who carded rounds of 66 with fellow American Ryan Palmer on the first two days, dropped two shots in a third round 70. Poulter and Ogilvy mixed four birdies and three bogeys for a 71, while Englishman Andrew "Beef" Johnston had a double bogey five at the 17th with American partner Kyle Reifers and shares 34th place at six under. Storms are predicted for Sunday, when the format returns to fourballs, so earlier tee times have been arranged in an attempt to complete the tournament, the first official two-man team event on the PGA Tour for 36 years. Find out how to get into golf with our special guide. Lancashire say Giles, Warwickshire director of cricket from 2007 to 2012, is under contract until 2018. The former England one-day coach, 43, took charge of Lancashire in 2014 after missing out on the England head coach's job and stepping down as a selector. BBC Sport understands Giles is torn between loyalty to Lancashire and being closer to his home in the Midlands. Former spinner Giles, who played 54 Tests for England between 1998 and 2006, has spoken about his satisfaction in the job at Old Trafford. He has overseen a group of emerging young talent, including 19-year-old Haseeb Hameed, who made 31 and 82 on his England Test debut in India last week. However, Giles spends many days away from his home in Droitwich, Worcestershire, throughout the year. A decision must be made soon by Giles, as both counties need next season's director of cricket in place before the end of the year. The post at Edgbaston has been vacant since Giles' former team-mate and assistant coach Dougie Brown left in October. The Warwickshire first-team squad are already back in pre-season training, while Giles returns to work at Lancashire this week after a family holiday. Under Giles, Warwickshire won the County Championship in 2012 and the Clydesdale Bank 40 in 2010. He was named coach of England's limited-overs sides in 2012, before being replaced when Peter Moores was re-appointed head coach in all formats two years later. "It would have been a surprise if Ashley's name hadn't been mentioned," Warwickshire chief executive Neil Snowball told BBC Sport. "Ashley's an outstanding director of cricket with a great track record, who has obviously got strong links with Warwickshire and still lives in Droitwich. "But I've had numerous phone calls and meetings with a number of candidates and we're just working our way through that list - and we're probably still two to three weeks away from making an appointment. "Part of our end of season review was also to look at the structure of the club. And we're still looking to appoint this side of Christmas, with a view to starting work in January. "It shouldn't surprise me, as we're a big club, but we've had some really interesting approaches from all round the world." As many as 30,000 tweets are being sent a week - and Facebook is being bombarded with posts from across the political divide. Unsurprisingly, that level of engagement, from both the public and politicians, is seeing a huge surge during key events. During the main leaders' debate around 260,000 tweets were sent - and that's not counting the ones in the days sent just before and after the broadcast. But what impact is this focus on social media having on people who, on 7 May, will be going to the polls? BBC Asian Network and the cross-party think-tank Demos have teamed up to look at the digital campaign from the point of view of three young, passionate and - most importantly - undecided voters. Over a month into this experiment, how are they feeling about the digital campaigns being fought out on their laptops, smart phones and tablets? Sakib Rashid, 20 Bio-medical student Sakib Rashid, 20, is a first time voter from London's Brent North constituency, a seat held by Labour back in 2010. Over 50% of eligible voters are predicted to be foreign-born, Sakib being one of them. His parents fled hardships in Bangladesh back in the 1980s, arriving in the UK with little money and forced into benefits. It's had a huge effect on him. "I never want to claim benefits," he said. "It's not something I'd feel proud of doing. It's not something I want to do, I don't want to rely on the government to support myself." For the last six weeks he's been following the election campaign on social media and has become increasingly fed-up with the negative comments he's reading. "I don't want to see them just making snide comments or little puns or going back to five, 10 years ago and the mistakes they made." He says it's getting better though. "More recently I've seen Liberal Democrats, Labour and Conservatives trying to appeal to voters, saying: 'We will promise this - and we have introduced this policy,' so there has been a small shift and I like that." Simmi Juss, 32 Thirty-two year old recruitment consultant Simmi Juss is voting in the key marginal battleground of Wolverhampton South West. Captured by the Tories in 2010, Labour is hoping to win it back in May. Simmi has also noticed a negative and sometimes aggressive tone in her social media newsfeeds. She would rather see more positive points being made, like the videos posted of politicians visiting places of worship. A message from David Cameron wishing Sikhs "a happy Vaisakhi" gets her approval. "It's a really nice way of reaching out to Sikh people - it felt genuine," she said. Her husband Tony is not so sure though, feeling the timing of such videos smacks of opportunism. "I don't think there's a need to bring religion into politics," he says. Ultimately though, it's local politics that really matters to her. "Wolverhampton hasn't got the best reputation for various reasons and I think it's better than that. But you just have to look around to see the empty shops and some of the deprived areas to know it does need investment." Iram Asim, 31 In Scotland, a number of polls suggest the political landscape of the country could be about to see huge changes. Iram Asim, 31, has just moved from Livingston to the constituency of Linlithgow and Falkirk East. Labour held the seat with a massive majority in 2010, but they are facing a strong challenge this time from the SNP. She's not at all surprised by the surge in political engagement she has seen on social media. "Our local representative has been talking about how after the referendum the view towards politics has changed. I do agree with that - I think it's different now. A lot of people who maybe weren't interested in politics I would definitely say are now." Even though Iram is torn between Labour and the SNP, she says it is a Green Party video mocking up the male party leaders as a boy band, which has most caught her attention on social media. "It made me laugh," she said. "It was different, cheeky and gets your attention. It made them stand out." But Iram has also been turned off by some of the negative campaigning. For Carl Miller, at Demos, it's an interesting insight. "Positive campaigning has remained the dominant theme, although underlying all of that is a well of frustration and anger, causing politicians to lose their temper, to insult each other," he said. So as the campaign hots up and the election day grows closer, will the huge efforts being pumped on to the digital platforms make a difference? It's a question party HQ strategists will desperately want answered. With the nation going to the polls imminently, politicians are spending more and more resources and money on their digital strategies in what is being called the UK's "first social media election". Platforms such as Google and Bing offer companies the option to "buy" words. This means their websites appear more prominently if a person searches for a particular term. The eBay study found that most people who clicked through as a result of this service were loyal customers who would have come to the site anyway. "Incremental revenue from paid search was far smaller than expected because existing customers would have come to eBay regardless, whether directly or through other marketing channels," said an eBay representative. In carrying out the study, presented at an economics conference held at Stanford University, eBay removed its paid-search keywords from MSN and Yahoo platforms in the US, while retaining them on Google. They found that without the advertising, users still clicked through as the results appeared on the search engine anyway. "Removal of these advertisements simply raised the prominence of the eBay natural search result," read the report by Thomas Blake, Chris Nosko, and Steve Tadelis from eBay. "Shutting paid search advertisements closed one (costly) path to a firm's website but diverted traffic to the next easiest path (natural search), which is free to the advertiser." There is no suggestion that eBay now plans to change the way in which it currently spends on search engine advertising. Google said that its own research suggested there was a significant increase in clicks as a result of search advertising. But a company representative added: "Since outcomes differ so much among advertisers and are influenced by many different factors, we encourage advertisers to experiment with their own campaigns." Dr Philip Alford, director of the Digital Hub in the School of Tourism at Bournemouth University, told the BBC that the size of the brand made a big difference to the effectiveness of paid searches. EBay has become a household brand name, they already have a highly engaged user base," he said, adding that many people would search the website directly when shopping online. "With Google ad words, particularly for smaller organisations, it can make a lot of sense because for some of them, their websites aren't at a stage yet where they have been sufficiently indexed by Google, so they struggle to come up in natural searches for terms. "The more click your ad gets, you get rewarded over time with a higher listing as you are perceived by Google as being relevant," he added. "But it is interesting that a lot of people still are paying for terms that actually appear quite high up the listings in the search results anyway." The plea-bargain testimony came from bosses of a giant meat-packing firm. If confirmed, the accusations could prove devastating for Mr Temer's crisis-hit administration, though he has vowed to prove his innocence. He is already facing allegations he authorised paying bribes to silence a witness in a huge corruption scandal. On Thursday he vowed in a TV address to stay on as president. Joesley Batista, the chairman of the company JBS, alleges that Mr Temer was paid more than $2.5m (9m reais) over the last seven years for electoral campaigning and to pay allies. Another company director says $4.6m was distributed to Mr Temer's allies in 2014 in the guise of official election campaign donations. Former Presidents Luis Inacio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff received $50m and $30m respectively to fund political campaigns, the testimony says. Both have denied any accusations against them. Separately, Prosecutor General Rodrigo Janot wrote in a court filing on Friday that Mr Temer was one of a number of politicians who obstructed investigations into the massive corruption inquiry known as Operation Car Wash. A year ago, Mr Temer took office after Ms Rousseff's impeachment. Now there are calls for his removal too. On Thursday Brazilian authorities released an audio recording where Mr Temer appears to be discussing bribes in conversation with Mr Batista. Mr Temer has said the footage is authentic, taken from a meeting in March, but he has strongly denied wrongdoing. Mr Temer is already deeply unpopular in Brazil but his centre-right party has been able to govern as part of a coalition. Opposition parties have been demanding snap elections and his impeachment. It is the first time Mr Temer has become fully embroiled in Operation Car Wash. The probe, launched in March 2014, centres on companies that were offered deals with state oil giant Petrobras in exchange for bribes, which were funnelled into politicians' pockets and political party slush funds. The scandal has engulfed Brazilian politics, with a third of Mr Temer's cabinet under investigation for alleged corruption. Former president Lula is already facing five charges. The man Mr Temer allegedly condoned the bribery of - Eduardo Cunha - is in prison for corruption, money laundering and tax evasion. Both men played a key role in the downfall of Ms Rousseff, who was removed from office accused of illegally manipulating government accounts. She denies all the charges. His partnership with Francis Rossi became the core of Status Quo, one of Britain's most enduring bands. Their brand of boogie-woogie rock survived changes in musical fashion and made them one of the best-loved live acts of their generation. As well as driving the Quo sound on stage, Parfitt penned many of the band's biggest hits. Richard John Parfitt was born in Woking, Surrey, on 12 October 1948. He began playing a guitar when he was 11 and, on leaving school at 15, got a job performing at Sunshine Holiday Camp in Hayling Island, Hampshire, earning £5 a week. However, much of his new income went to his father, who was a committed drinker and gambler. "He was forever getting in trouble and coming to me crying," Parfitt later recalled. "I probably ended up giving him a couple of thousand quid in total. Back then, that was a lot of money." Parfitt met Francis Rossi in 1965 when they were both playing with their respective bands at a Butlin's holiday camp in Minehead. Two years later Parfitt, along with Rossi, Alan Lancaster, John Coghlan and Roy Lynes came together to form Status Quo. The band's first hit, Pictures of Matchstick Men, released in 1968, embraced the psychedelic movement of the time and went to number seven in the UK charts. Their follow-up, Black Veils of Melancholy, failed to chart but they did get to number eight with Ice in the Sun, written by Marty Wilde. But the band were becoming disillusioned with the direction they were taking. They abandoned their flowery clothes, embraced denim and T-shirts and settled down to a more traditional style of rock. Parfitt co-wrote two of the tracks on their breakthrough album, Piledriver, released on the Vertigo label in 1972. In an interview in 2014, Parfitt said of the record. "You know what? I love every track on that album! I think All The Reasons is just such a beautiful song. I wrote that about my wife at the time." The album became the template for subsequent releases, with Parfitt receiving a number of writing credits. Whatever You Want, co-written by Parfitt and Andy Bown, became one of the band's biggest hits and a staple of their increasingly popular live shows. Outside the Quo tent the musical landscape was changing, from prog to punk, and into the '80s with the New Romantics. Inside the tent, the band continued to play their 12-bar blues style maintaining an ever loyal fan base. The band set off on a farewell tour in 1984 but decided to carry on after Bob Geldof persuaded them to open the Live Aid concert the following year. "God, I'm so pleased we did it now. Quo opening Live Aid, it was meant to be." They also embraced the hedonistic rock lifestyle with gusto. Parfitt admitted spending £1,000 a week on cocaine and another £500 on vodka. His addictions, coupled with the tragic drowning of their two-year-old daughter, Heidi, led to the breakdown of his first marriage to Marietta Broker. "It's not buying the drugs that is the most expensive thing," he later said. "It's the divorce which taking drugs eventually leads to." He later married Patty Beedon, who had been his childhood sweetheart. The couple divorced and reunited again, before finally going their separate ways. It was an acrimonious separation, with Patty later describing him as "a selfish child who never grew up". Parfitt's experience of paying millions in divorce settlements made him vow never to marry again, but he tied the knot again in 2006 with Lyndsay Whitburn, a fitness instructor. In 2010, Parfitt and Rossi were awarded the OBE for services to music, posing together with their gongs after the investiture ceremony. By this time Parfitt had suffered a number of health problems including undergoing quadruple heart bypass surgery in 1997. He made a full recovery and was performing with the band within a matter of months. Doctors warned the musician that he would have to leave behind his rock lifestyle, although he admitted at the time that he still enjoyed "the odd pint". By 2014 he was living a relaxed life in Spain. "I haven't smoked a joint for 27 years and I haven't done any cocaine for 10 years. I just do normal stuff - the kids keep me busy and I go shopping with the missus." Other band members came and went over the years but Parfitt remained, with Rossi, the definitive face of Status Quo. While Rossi officially remained the band's frontman, the musical partners were hard to separate on stage. In contrast to the rows that are part of many rock bands, the two remained good friends throughout the decades. When Status Quo had embarked on what they hinted would be their final tour, Parfitt offered an explanation for the longevity of veteran rock bands. "Why do you think all these bands like the Stones and Deep Purple stay on the road? We're having fun and I love being up there on stage. Once the lights go down and the crowds roar, something magical happens. All your aches and pains go." He added: "It would be weird to just stop because I would have nothing to do." Martin Ashworth, 48, from Garforth, near Leeds, died from burns shortly after the fire on 29 April 2014. He had been sectioned after attempting suicide a month earlier as his marriage to Susan Ashworth deteriorated. He was discharged on 16 April - 13 days before the fire, Wakefield Coroners' Court heard. At the time of the fire, West Yorkshire Police said the cause was being treated as suspicious, but they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the investigation. In a statement read to the court, his mother, Barbara Ashworth, said Mr Ashworth had been told by a nurse he was being sent home from the Becklin Centre in Leeds because "they needed beds". She said she was shocked by the decision as he had been sectioned under the Mental Health Act for 28 days on 25 March 2014. "I cannot bring myself to think about the awful events. It's something I will have to carry inside me forever," she added. More on this and other local stories from across West Yorkshire The inquest also heard Mr Ashworth was controlling and emotionally abusive towards his 47-year-old wife, who he had known since they were teenagers. Mrs Ashworth's mother, Ann Cracknell, told the inquest he had "tried to impose control and power over Susan and the boys". She said: "On Susan's birthday he refused to give her presents from the family, saying she didn't deserve them." The inquest heard Mrs Ashworth had confided in her mother that she planned to leave him, and had asked for a divorce while he was in hospital. Mr Ashworth, an IT specialist, was admitted to the Becklin Centre in March 2014 after he tried to poison himself with carbon monoxide fumes in his car. His wife was only told of his release on the day and the inquest heard she had little choice but to allow him to return to their home in Farfield Court. The inquest continues. The decision follows a warning by the World Health Organization (WHO) that glyphosate is "probably carcinogenic". The product has been used in US-sponsored crop-spraying anti-narcotics programmes in South America. President Juan Manuel Santos has said Colombia will need to find other mechanisms to combat coca production. Anti-narcotics officials in Colombia will have until October to prepare an alternative plan. "I am going to ask the government officials in the National Drug Council at their next meeting to suspend glyphosate spraying of illicit cultivations," Mr Santos announced. "The recommendations and studies reviewed by the Ministry of Health show clearly that yes, this risk exists," he added, making reference to the WHO warning on cancer. But Colombia will not "lower the guard" in its combat against drug trafficking, said Mr Santos. The Colombian drug eradication programme began in 1994. The authorities target mainly areas controlled by the country's largest rebel group, the Farc. They say the Farc use the income from cocaine production to finance its armed struggle. Other coca-producing countries in the region, including Ecuador and Peru, have also used the herbicide to destroy coca fields. Farmers say aerial fumigation has destroyed entire fields of coffee and other legal produce. The warnings have emerged from analysis of the malware used in an attack in Ukraine in December. That left about 230,000 people without power for hours after substations were shut down via implanted malware. The move comes as researchers at Black Hat and Def Con reveal ways power firms are lax on security. "Power grid operators need to be aware that these styles of events are out there and they need to prepare for them," said Robert M Lee of Dragos Security during a talk at the Black Hat show which detailed its work to analyse the malware used in the Ukraine attack. Ukraine suffered two attacks on its network - one in March 2015 and another in late 2016. The warnings detail the text and code combinations used by the attackers as they infiltrated networks and started the process of shutting down key parts of the grid. The information should help power firms scan internal systems for tell-tale signs of intrusion and prepare other defences so they can spot reconnaissance. Additional information provided by Dragos and security firm Eset also sets out some other ways the malware seen in the Ukraine attack could be deployed. "All of the functionality exhibited in the malware was not seen in the Ukraine attack," said Mr Lee. "They built more functions in it than they needed." Mr Lee stressed that there was little evidence that the hackers behind the Ukraine attack were taking aim at other power networks. However, he said, the tradecraft and techniques the group developed while preparing and executing their plan could easily be transferred to grid operators in other nations. Power generation firms and grid operators in Europe, Asia and the Middle East were "immediately" at risk from the type of attack seen in Ukraine, he said. US power firms were safer, he added, because they generally used different hardware. He also criticised governments for not doing enough to raise awareness about the seriousness of the events in Ukraine. "No senior policy makers in any government has come out and condemned the Ukraine attack," he said. "That's done nothing but embolden the attackers and that's a worrying trend." The Black Hat and Def Con shows saw other security researchers share information about work to catalogue ways that the power network could be attacked. Security researcher Harrys Konstantinou and colleagues at New York University led a project to find out how easy it was to build up a detailed picture of the make-up of power networks in the US. The three-person team drew on information in press releases, regulatory filings, grid maps, case studies and blackout reports to build a detailed model of sections of the US power transmission system. They also drew on freely available software tools that let them map power flows and test out what would happen if different parts of the network were turned off. To make their model and attack planning more accurate they also bought sub-station control equipment from auction site eBay. "There exists a wealth of information out there that can accurately model the grid and enable a widespread attack," said Mr Konstantinou. He added that as a result of their work some information about the layout of the US power grid has been removed from the net and some hardware makers are moving to harden their devices against attack. It is not just long-established elements of power grids that are vulnerable to attack. In another talk at Def Con Dr Jason Staggs from the University of Tulsa presented work he had done on the security of wind farm networks and turbines. "The increased reliance on renewable energy sources will draw attention from attackers for all kinds of reasons," he said. He added that his work revealed weaknesses in the hardware used to manage wind farms and in the software that allows them to be managed remotely. In many cases, he said, it was "trivial" to get access to the control consoles and management systems used to keep turbine blades spinning. Poor internal controls meant an attacker that got physical access to one turbine tower could inject software and infiltrate an entire network of wind farms, he said. "These networks are extremely susceptible to attack," he said. If an attacker triggered turbines to shut down it could cause real harm to their drives, brakes and blades. An hour of downtime on a relatively small wind farm would cost a power firm up to $30,000 (£23.250) for every turbine that stopped turning, he said. He urged operators of wind farms to take security more seriously and put in place measures and controls that limit the impact of any intrusion into the control systems. 9 March 2017 Last updated at 05:24 GMT One of the states that voted is Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous and politically influential. Mr Modi’s BJP party is making a strong push to win the state against an opposition determined to check his growing power. But as Sanjoy Majumder reports from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, the political battle is also making the state’s Muslim minority very nervous. Filmed and edited by Varun Nayar Tomasz Kocik, 38, of Buckingham Road, Harlesden, was found guilty of murdering Marta Ligman, 23. The trial heard Ms Ligman may have been alive when Kocik dragged her from their flat to the canal in north west London. At the Old Bailey he was told he would serve a minimum of 18 years and six months. Kocik was caught on CCTV cameras early in the morning of 1 May this year dragging an "extremely heavy" and large suitcase for half a mile from his home to the canal towpath and then filmed again when he returned home an hour later with wet trousers. Judge Nicholas Hilliard told Kocik Ms Ligman had suffered a "severe beating" at his hands. More on this story and updates from London. He said: "Dead or dying you then treated her body in a grotesque and demeaning way, hauling her in a suitcase down to the canal and carrying a stick to try to submerge the case when you got there." Kocik then followed a "determined" course of action to mislead her family, friends and police by using Ms Ligman's Facebook account to "leave a false trail", the judge said. The court heard Ms Ligman's body was discovered 10 days later by the occupants of a houseboat who spotted her dyed red hair streaming from the case after it collided with the hull. Her body was in a tight foetal position wrapped in bin bags and curtains. Despite her family asking him to report Ms Ligman's disappearance Kocik failed to report her missing until after the body was found in the canal. Ms Ligman was in Poland when she met Kocik in an online dating chatroom, before moving to London in 2012 to live with the forklift truck driver. The jury heard that colleagues at the delicatessen where Ms Ligman worked described Kocik as an "obsessively jealous, controlling boyfriend". In his defence Kocik, a Polish national, claimed he had found Ms Ligman dead at their flat after days of amphetamine fuelled bondage sex sessions. The proposal would see 55 short break lodges built at Jack's Green on the former RAF Kings Cliffe site in Northamptonshire, where Maj Miller played his last hangar concert. Historian Kevin Flecknor said he had "major concerns" over the memorial. Landowner Philip Ashton-Jones said it would remain "exactly as it is today". RAF Kings Cliffe, was home to the US Army Air Force during World War Two. Maj Miller and his orchestra played their last ever hangar concert there on October 3, 1944. In December that year the band leader went missing while flying to Paris to play for soldiers there. His plane, a single-engined UC-64 Norseman departed from RAF Twinwood Farm in Clapham, on the outskirts of Bedford and disappeared while flying over the English Channel. A memorial to commemorate the concert was erected in August 1983. Mr Flecknor, who lives in Kettering and works as UK liaison for the Cold War Museum Berlin Chapter, wrote to East Northamptonshire Council to express his concerns about the development. He said: "I have major concerns about the Glenn Miller Memorial and I fear for its safety." He said the memorial should be moved to an adjacent part of the airfield site. Marcella Beaudreau, who lives in the United States and runs a website about Britain's historical airfields, said it was "very important" to maintain the history and culture at the site. "That is the place where you can stand and imagine that on that night in October 1944, Glenn Miller played 'In the Mood' to a group of service men and women and lifted their spirits," she said. Mr Ashton-Jones said the "luxurious lodges" would help to pay for the upkeep of the countryside. A consultation on the proposal ended on 19 January but a date for the council to hear the application had not yet been set. Martin Barkley, 61, said the decision to leave the Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV) after eight years had been a "difficult one". He has worked for the NHS for more than 40 years. The trust said a recruitment process to select a new chief executive would begin in February. Mr Barkley said: "After so many years with the trust and other mental health and learning disability organisations the time has arrived for a change." The trust runs mental health services in County Durham, the Tees Valley and much of North Yorkshire. In October, it took over services in York just days after the Care Quality Commission (CQC) ordered the city's psychiatric hospital, Bootham Park, to close after an inspection found it to be "unfit". Mr Barkley said his decision to leave the trust had nothing to do with the problems surrounding mental health provision in York. He said the trust remained committed to working with the Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group to provide a new hospital for the treatment of people with mental health problems in the city. The man, with the last names of Caicedo Lopez, was detained in the early hours of Sunday and the concert in Alajuela went ahead as planned. The threats were written in Arabic and made online. Security has been tightened at Grande's concerts since the attack at one of her Manchester shows. Fans had to pass through three security checks for Sunday's gig. Costa Rica police chief Walter Espinoza told the Costa Rica Star that even if the threat had been made as a "joke", they had "to verify whether or not there is a real threat, because this is a very sensitive situation and it could lead to a tragedy". The 24-year-old singer posted an image from the show on her Instagram account but did not mention the threat. She is due to play four concerts in Mexico over the next eight days before moving on to Japan in August. Twenty-two people were killed in the Manchester Arena attack, including seven children.

"He truly lived and proclaimed the Good News of Jesus Christ and, in doing so, became a role model for all of us. "As a gifted spiritual leader and communicator, his words touched the hearts of many people, but his ministry was not confined to preaching. "He walked with his people in their struggles and joys and was most at home out in the streets, parishes and communities of his diocese." "Bishop Daly provided an example of priestly ministry which was exemplary, inspired by service of God and the people he encountered. "His ministry was characterised by his deep love of the people of this diocese, his dedicated visitation of parishes and his constant availability to others. "The bishops, priests and people of the diocese were blessed to have such a dedicated and faithful priest among them." "He was a tremendous force for good throughout the city. "He would have been very critical of the IRA throughout the 25-year-old conflict. I can understand that as a bishop of a religious order and of a city. "He was entitled to have an opinion and he was critical of anyone that was involved in the conflict. But, that said at the same time, he was always willing to have conversations about that, he was always willing to look at people's point of view." "Bishop Daly's passing will be felt most acutely by those he served tirelessly for almost 40 years. "Bishop Daly devoted his life to serving and helping others, quietly undertaking a wide range of charitable works in the local community. "During the darker moments of our recent past Dr Daly made a significant contribution by arguing that violence should be rejected and by articulating a vision based on respect and tolerance." "Edward Daly was truly the people's bishop. "For many outside of Derry, their memory of Bishop Daly will always lie in the iconic image captured on Bloody Sunday. That singular moment captured the man's compassion and courage in the face of violence. It was and remains an image which told the story of his life's work. "For the people of Derry though, Bishop Daly was iconic for so much more. Our memory will be of a man of many more images not just one." "Throughout his long career, he witnessed at first hand many tragedies of the Northern Ireland troubles, but his priority was always to his parishioners, and he was a constant champion of the people of the north west. "He was an iconic figure in civic life, and he will long be remembered as a cleric who worked tirelessly to promote peace for all. "I extend my sincere condolences to his entire family circle." "As well as being a man of God, Bishop Daly was first and foremost a man of peace. "He was a key advocate for peace in Northern Ireland over a period of decades. As a pastor in Derry, he strove to heal a divided city. "He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, but particularly by the people of Derry." "He was such a special friend to us, to our family particularly, but not just to our family, but to the whole of this town. "He was a stalwart throughout his whole life and he did everything he could to help everyone he could. "For us particularly, for Bloody Sunday, it was such a comfort to know that he was with Jackie in his dying moments." "What stands out about Bishop Daly is that he was a towering figure throughout this incredibly traumatic period that we've all lived through. "I trusted him 100% and I'm privileged to say he also trusted me which meant that at various highly sensitive times in the course of the so-called Troubles I could go to him for guidance, corroboration and direction. "Some of the things I was able to discuss with him, and he with me, were extremely sensitive." "Whilst many will immediately recall the iconic image of him assisting Jackie Duddy on Bloody Sunday, it was only one example of his courage in standing against violence from whatever source throughout the Troubles. "His work in the 1980s with Church of Ireland Bishop, James Mehaffey, bringing people in the dioceses together to stand against violence has left a lasting legacy in the city to this day, for which both men were recognised only a year ago." "He loved the people of Derry and they so loved him and during John's darkest days he knew he could talk to Bishop Daly, he could confide in Bishop Daly. "That was so necessary at some of those dark, dark moments. In losing Bishop Daly today we have lost such a dear friend. "Bishop Daly so appreciated the people of Derry, he loved their sense of humour. He admired their tenacity, he admired and empathised with their struggle for justice and he is such a loss to our community." "Bishop Edward's attention - at times heroic - to victims of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, for prisoners and their families, and for all who suffered in any way, was remarkable. "Even in his years of retirement, he gave generous service to the diocese, both in its archives and in his role as the ever-popular and compassionate chaplain to the Foyle Hospice in Derry." Carli Scott, 30, of Basildon, was declared dead at the scene in Roundacre, Basildon, following the accident at 20:45 GMT on Tuesday. Dean Evans, 35, also from Basildon, died later in hospital, police said. A 26-year-old man from Laindon was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. Police are appealing for witnesses. The man has been released on police bail, pending further enquiries, until 18 July. The family of Mr Evans said: "He was a dearly loved son, father, brother, uncle and friend to everyone who knew him. "Dean will be greatly missed. He was loved so much." Sixty-nine workers at Main Port Engineering Ltd (MPE) in Pembroke Dock were made redundant in October, with a further 88 jobs at risk. Administrators have now announced that 83 staff working at Valero oil refinery as MPE contractors will have their employment continued. Their contracts will be taken over by Cape Engineering Services. The transfer will take place on 14 November, and this includes the contracts of apprentices at the refinery. Roger Hale, joint administrator and director at PwC, said: "MPE has had a long tradition of employing people in the local area, and I am delighted that 83 jobs have been safeguarded following the transfer of the Valero site contract to Cape." Main Port Engineering provided services to the petrochemical industry but struggled to find customers after Milford Haven's Murco Oil Refinery closed. Karen Buckley, 24, had been at Sanctuary nightclub on Dumbarton Road from about 23.45 on Saturday night. At 01:00 she told friends she was going to the toilet but did not return or take her jacket. She was then seen on CCTV talking to a man outside the club, before leaving and walking towards Church Street. Police say the direction she was heading in was westwards along Dumbarton Road, away from the city centre. Police are particularly keen to speak to the man seen in conversation with the 24-year-old, who they believe may be able to help with their inquiries. He is described as being of a stocky build with dark hair and was wearing a white shirt and dark trousers. Friends of the Glasgow Caledonian University student raised the alarm yesterday, saying it was "very out of character" for her not to return home. Her parents have flown over from Cork in Ireland as they also believe her behaviour is unusual. Inspector Gavin Smith said: "Karen had been drinking alcohol with her friends but they say she was not drunk and they are very worried about her. "Her friends say she would always contact them by text or phone to let them know where she was and she doesn't appear to have contacted anyone. "I would urge anyone who may have seen Karen at all on Saturday night into Sunday morning to get in touch with police on 101 with any information at all." Miss Buckley is described as white, around 5ft to 5ft 2in (155-160cm) in height, with brown eyes and dark hair with long black curly hair extensions in. She was said to be wearing an all in one black jump suit with red high heels and a black handbag when she disappeared. She speaks in an Irish accent. She lives with three other student friends in a flat in Hill Street, Garnethill, Glasgow, and earlier on Saturday evening had drinks with friends in the flat before going to the nightclub. All MPs and peers should vacate both Houses of Parliament for six years for urgent repairs, a senior parliamentary committee has recommended. It wants the Department of Health's headquarters to host MPs, with Lords moving to the QEII conference centre. Both Houses of Parliament are expected to need to approve the temporary move. The Joint Committee on the Palace of Westminster warned the decision on how to repair Parliament must not delay further and suggest work, estimated to take about six years, should start in 2023. A delivery authority to prepare the budget should be formed, the report said. Then a detailed preparatory stage must take place to make sure plans were cost-effective. Parts of the Palace of Westminster are so riddled with asbestos, frail stonework and ageing electrics and wiring, it has been said the Grade I-listed building would be knocked down if it was not protected. "The Palace of Westminster, a masterpiece of Victorian and medieval architecture and engineering, faces an impending crisis which we cannot responsibly ignore," the report said. "It is impossible to say when this will happen, but there is a substantial and growing risk of either a single, catastrophic event, such as a major fire, or a succession of incremental failures in essential systems which would lead to Parliament no longer being able to occupy the Palace." Lord Lisvane, formerly the most senior Commons official, added: "The roofs are leaking. The stonework is rotting. We need to do a great deal more in fire compartmentation." He added: "All of the facilities, whether it's electricity, IT, comms, sewage, fresh water, high pressure steam, central heating, all of that, have just been laid one over the other. "I don't think I'm giving away any secrets by saying there are lots of wires, nobody is quite sure where they go." The work to repair Westminster could be hampered by a shortage of trained craftsmen and women, the Royal Institute of British Architects (Riba) warns. The committee behind the plans for the palace wants MPs to move out to enable the work to be be carried out as quickly as possible. But Riba doubts that is possible with current specialist skills levels. It blames a decline in investment in conservation and a high existing demand for workers. But it admits the parliament project may be the ideal opportunity for training the "next generation". It is 60 years since Parliament's last major refurbishment and some of the restoration committee's members were sceptical about the need for a total relocation at first, rather than having the repairs in stages to allow members to remain in situ. The BBC Daily Politics' Mark Lobel said a source close to the committee said that after more than a year touring the crumbling parts and interviewing experts the weight of evidence convinced them of the urgent need for action. The plan would be for MPs to relocate to the Department of Health's nearby headquarters on Whitehall, building a temporary debating chamber in the courtyard in which MPs would debate laws, vote, deliver statements and hold Prime Minister's Questions. It is seen as a safe location on the parliamentary estate and many MPs have offices in neighbouring buildings, Mark Lobel added. The other alternatives... Under the committee's plans, the House of Lords would be relocated to the QEII conference centre, which has a wide variety of conference rooms, just across Parliament Square. As it is owned by the government, the centre could quite easily be turned into a second chamber to shape laws and challenge the executive. Key ceremonies like the State Opening of Parliament and the lying-in-state period after a death of a member of the Royal Family would have to be moved from the Palace of Westminster if and when the relocation and renovation programme proceeds. Buckingham Palace, Banqueting House on Whitehall, - the last surviving part of the Palace of Whitehall - Westminster School and Westminster Abbey are among the locations being mooted by the joint committee. It is confident "suitably dignified" alternative arrangements could be made. The Royal Household has responsibility for reviewing plans for any lying-in-state. It would not be the first time a state opening happened outside of the Houses of Parliament - alternative arrangements had to be made after a fire in the 1830s. Addresses by foreign heads of state and minor, daily ceremonies such as processions by the speakers of the House of Commons and the Lords would also have to be considered. Downing Street said the Prime Minister would consider and respond to the report, but did not set out a timescale. Theresa May would be determined to ensure value for money for the taxpayer on the multi-billion pound project, a spokesman added. He added: "We are talking about protecting one of our most treasured buildings, an internationally recognised landmark. It's right that we protect a building which has such important historic value." The Greens won 40 seats in last week's elections, compared with UKIP, which lost 145 of its 146 seats. They are also angry that UKIP's leader, but not theirs, will feature in two prime time pre-election programmes. A BBC spokesman said it was not aware of any formal complaints "but if we receive one, we would respond then". BBC guidelines state that Green Party coverage should be "proportionate to the larger parties" and "more than those parties with less evidence of past or current electoral support or fewer candidates". But the spokesman argued that "UKIP's losses were a significant story to the public and it was right for us to cover this". He said guidelines say that during elections "news judgements continue to drive editorial decision-making in news-based programmes." The guidelines also point out, he said, that the Greens in England and Wales "have less evidence of electoral support over different sorts of elections across two electoral cycles than Labour, Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and UKIP". The Greens fielded a record number of candidates in the local elections, but co-leader Jonathan Bartley said with few exceptions, most of the BBC's coverage "failed to report the Green Party's results, while giving disproportionate coverage to UKIP". "While UKIP makes cheap attempts to win headlines with blatantly Islamophobic policies, Greens are out making a difference to their local communities and this contrast was made clear in Friday's election results," he said. "The Green Party is making gains across the country - from the Orkney Islands to the Isle of Wight - and it's only fair we're given proportionate coverage by our national broadcaster." Mr Bartley said it was also "beyond a joke" that the BBC had decided Mr Nuttall would be interviewed by Andrew Neil in one of a series of prime time election programmes in the week of 22 May. In addition the UKIP leader will be the subject of an Election Question Time programme on BBC 1 on 4 June. The Greens will be taking part in a seven-way BBC election debate on 31 May in Cambridge, and a Newsbeat Youth debate in Manchester on 6 June. But Mr Bartley said: "The BBC's love affair with UKIP is getting embarrassing. It's time it recognised that the Green Party is entitled to a fair hearing in its election programming." The BBC spokesman commented: "Our coverage is duly impartial, but in any given day editorial judgements will be made about what the most significant story is. "That also takes into account past electoral support over two electoral cycles, as set out by Ofcom, and not just the recent local election results. " The 22-year-old joined the Red Devils from Salford City in January 2016 after being recommended to the club by former United player Phil Neville. The Libya international could make his debut for the Spireites against Oldham on Saturday. He told the club website: "Hopefully I'll get the chance to play games and help the club stay in the division." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. That is a fraction of 1% of total manufacturing exports which were around £18bn. However, the Greek islands are a tourist destination - Jet2, Falcon and Thomas Cook all fly to Greece from Belfast. For tourists, the concern is paying for goods and services once they get there. ATMs are currently limited to 60 euro (£42.50) a day withdrawals, but the Greek government has emphasised that applies only to Greek-issued bank cards. But, in practice, visitors may struggle to withdraw much more than that, given then high demand at cash machines. The official advice from the Foreign Office is that people have enough euros in cash to cover emergencies, unforeseen circumstances and any unexpected delays. It has also warned that banking services throughout Greece, including credit card processing and servicing of ATMs, could potentially become limited at short notice. In practice, travellers should probably bring enough cash to cover any likely payments on a trip. Euros are cheap at the moment. This time last year it cost about 80p to buy one euro - today it is closer to 70p. The 26-year-old, who is in the provisional Black Stars squad for the 2017 African Cup of Nations, joins from Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala. He has signed a two-year deal as a designated player, so his wages will not be limited by the MLS salary cap. "We look forward to him making an immediate impact," head coach Gregg Berhalter told the Crew SC website. "With Jonathan's vast playing experience and strong character we believe he will fit into our club nicely. "Jonathan is a physically dominant central defender who at a young age has already proven himself on the world's biggest stage." Crew SC finished ninth in the 10-team Eastern Conference table last season. Mensah, who has also played in South Africa, Spain and France, joins his fellow Ghana international team-mate Harrison Afful at the club. He has 51 caps for Ghana and played at the last two World Cups and past three Africa Cup of Nations. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is no Spa or Suzuka, but its combination of slippery surface, big braking zones and close-in perimeter walls provides a tough challenge for the drivers and, quite often, a thrilling spectacle. The track is on the Ile Notre Dame, built for Expo '67, and some of the futuristic buildings created for that festival remain. As does the rowing lake from the 1976 Montreal Olympics. It's a lovely setting, with the skyline of one of the world's great cities to the west, the dark, grey, swirling waters of the forbidding river on either side and big North American skies, everything bathed in the special clarity of light that continent somehow creates. The paddock is a slightly rough-hewn affair, with team hospitality units housed in temporary buildings perched over the lake and a narrow walkway between them and the garages. It used to drive Bernie Ecclestone mad, but there is an old-school charm to it, and the same goes for the track. Essentially just a sequence of straights and chicanes, with a hairpin at either end, it is much more than the sum of its parts. Each chicane is subtly different, and most end with a concrete wall on the exit ready to catch the unwary. The most famous is the so-called 'Wall of Champions' out of the last corner - named after a sequence of crashes there involving title winners in the late 1990s. Since then, a bunch of others, including Jenson Button and Sebastian Vettel, have ended up in it at one point or another. But the walls on the exits of Turns Four, Seven and Nine are just as unyielding, the curving braking point into Turn One is tricky and the hairpin always catches people out. Action, then, is guaranteed, both on track, and over the river in the city in the evenings. It all adds up to one of the best weekends of the year. BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson Canada, or the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve at least, appears to be home to some of the bravest - or most foolish - animals in the world. In 1990, an unfortunate gopher was hit by Alessandro Nannini's car while Anthony Davidson struck a groundhog in 2007. Last year, it was pair of plucky seagulls that decided to get up close to the action. They refused to budge for Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari, forcing the German to take evasive action. Indeed, Vettel - jokingly - claimed it was the seagulls' fault for him losing the race to Lewis Hamilton. "I watched the seagulls and locked up," Vettel told Hamilton in the pre-podium room at last year's race. "That's when you caught up!" The end of Fernando Alonso's Indy 500 adventure will have been disappointingly familiar for the Spaniard as the Honda engine in his car blew in the closing stages. Alonso nevertheless acquitted himself well in America and returns to the cockpit of his McLaren for this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix seemingly refreshed and more determined than ever. "The Indy 500 was an incredible experience and it's been amazing to learn a completely different style of driving, on a different circuit layout and with a very different car," he said. "But I'm ready to get back to my 'day job' and go racing in F1 again."

Craig Miles (2-81) had the best bowling figures as Glos struggled in the field.

Following England's run to the World Twenty20 final in India, ticket sales for this year's tournament are up by a third on 2015. And, with an array of big-hitting international stars including Chris Gayle, Darren Sammy, Brendon McCullum and Shahid Afridi returning, it is easy to see why interest has been so high. Couple that with all the homegrown talent on show - Ben Stokes, James Vince, Jason Roy and Alex Hales to name just a few - and the 2016 competition has the potential to be the best in its 13-year history. Excitement over Gayle's second stint with Somerset has seen their home games against Essex, Surrey, Hampshire and Gloucestershire sell out. 'Boom Boom' Afridi will join Sammy at last year's semi-finalists Hampshire, while Australia's Aaron Finch will feature in July and August for Surrey. And Glamorgan have confirmed the signing of Dale Steyn for the first half of their T20 Blast campaign after the South Africa fast bowler fuelled speculation that he could be joining the Welsh county by asking his Twitter followers if there were any good fishing spots nearby. "You learn a lot from the international players, whether you play with them or against them," said England and Yorkshire batsman Joe Root, who helped launch the 2016 competition. "You look at the young lads who are getting to share a dressing room and speak to international stars and learn how they approach T20 cricket. "I am sure in a couple of years' time England will reap the rewards with young lads coming into the team having learned from the valuable information passed on to them." International players to look out for: Lancashire are the defending T20 Blast champions, winning the title for the first time after beating Northants in last year's final at Edgbaston. And BBC Radio Lancashire's Scott Read believes Ashley Giles' side could be the team to beat again in 2016. "Even though Lancashire have only won the competition once, they've consistently progressed to the knockout stages and are looking to reach a third successive finals day," he said. "Steven Croft seems to have grown and developed as a captain and he leads the side superbly in this format. And, when margins are tight, a captain with good instincts for bowling, fielding and batting changes can sometimes hold the key. "Lancashire have actually won more T20 games than any other county since the first tournament in 2003. That alone would suggest they have a formula that works. "I think it also shows just how hard it is to win the competition and how slim the margins are for success in T20 cricket. Games are frequently won or lost in just a handful of deliveries. Lancashire's previous success of winning the competition and success in consistently getting out the of group stages will help in their attempts to retain the title, but it's going to be tough. "However, they do boast arguably the best spin attack in the competition with Stephen Parry, Arron Lilley and Steven Croft. Throw into the mix Jos Buttler and Martin Guptill and they look a formidable side once again." In 2008, the Indian Premier League became the first franchise-based domestic Twenty20 competition to be played by international stars and since then countries across the world have followed suit. With the brand value of the IPL estimated to be $3.2 billion (£2.2 billion) in 2014 and the 2015 Australia competition, the Big Bash, drawing a record crowd of 80,833 for the Melbourne derby at the MCG, can the T20 Blast really match that success? Somerset and Essex have sold 94% and 79% of their tickets respectively, while the first Roses game at Old Trafford on 3 June is on the brink of selling out. However, England remains the only country to resist the temptation of a franchise format and instead stay with the 18 county sides split into two North and South groups. With no free-to-air coverage available, the competition running over three months and having to compete against the Euros and Olympics, it seems unlikely that the Blast will be able to replicate the same success that is enjoyed abroad. England's successful World Twenty20 campaign, which saw them come up just short in the final against West Indies, showed the first signs of the national side benefitting from picking specialist T20 players. "It's one of the reasons why we did so well [in the World T20], because those players forced their way into the team through good performances in the competition," said Root. Six of the top-10 batsmen with the most runs in the 2015 Blast were English, with James Vince topping the list. Reece Topley's 16 wickets led the Essex Eagles to the quarter-finals and earned him an England call-up. "There are a lot of players who, throughout the summer, spend a lot of time playing in the T20 Blast," continued 25-year-old Root. "If you're consistently banging out runs and taking wickets in the domestic tournaments you should be given recognition and potentially a go if there are spots available."

The domestic cricket scene is set to burst into life as the glitz and glamour of the T20 Blast gets under way on Friday.

Braden Collins, 10, wanted to raise money for the charity Diabetes UK. After enjoying spending the night in his back garden last May following his mother's birthday party, he vowed to keep it up for a full 365 days. Despite the harshness of the weather at his home on the banks of St Mary's Loch in the Scottish Borders, he will reach his goal this weekend. Over the past year, Braden has gone with his family for holidays in the south of England - but he took his tent with him and camped out in their back gardens, accompanied by his pet dog Maisie. On Saturday he will mark his "One Year Campaversary" with a special gathering of family and friends at his home in the heart of the Yarrow Valley. Braden said: "I felt like camping for a whole year last May. "I have slept outside every night through snow, gales and storms. "One time, my tent blew down and I thought it was 7.30am so I went inside and started doing my homework. Then I realised it was only 3.30am." Braden said he wanted to raise money for Diabetes UK "because my dad has diabetes and I wish he didn't". His mother Claire Collins, 44, said she was proud of her son's feat of endurance, although she had reservations at first. She said: "I had a party for my birthday on 27 May last year and we had quite a full house so Braden, who was nine at the time, and his older brother Eden thought it would be a good idea to pitch up their tent and camp out for the night in the garden. "It was lovely summer weather and Braden slept so well and enjoyed the experience so much that he said he wanted to do it again the next night. "After a week, he told us he was determined to spend a whole year camping out." She said that both she and her husband Paul had been "naturally sceptical" but he had proved them wrong. "Every bedtime, he goes out to his tent with his head torch, his hot water bottle, his toy dog Alan and his real dog - our young Border Terrier Maisie - who sleeps out with him," she said. "In the morning he comes in for his breakfast and gets ready for school. "He seems to take it all in his stride and has never once said he didn't want to camp out, even during the cold nights of winter." To mark Braden's achievement - and Claire's 45th birthday - the family is holding a party on Saturday night. "Paul and I are so proud of Braden," she said. "It shows great strength of character to endure something like this for so long, without any complaints. "In our eyes he's a little superstar."

A Borders schoolboy is set to complete a challenge to spend a whole year sleeping in a tent.

The blaze at the derelict South Fod Farm, Linburn Road, started at about 16:00. Police said smoke was blowing east from the farm towards Kintail Place and Braemar Drive. A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said six appliances had been sent to the scene from Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy.

Residents have been advised to keep doors and windows closed after a fire broke out at a barn in Dunfermline.

Geoff Marshall and Vicki Pipe asked people to join them at Shippea Hill, Cambridgeshire as they try to visit 2,563 stations in three months. Shippea Hill is a request stop with just two trains a day and was used just 12 times in the last financial year. Geoff has previously set records for visiting all London's tube stations. Geoff and Vicki decided to embark on the trip across the country to "capture the true status of Britain's railways today". They are hoping to donate their video and photo footage to the National Railway Museum and London Transport Museum. The journey has been made possible by donations from the public. They raised about £38,500 through an online fundraising page. "We have a lot of love for public transport and this is just a bigger version of it [visiting all the tube stations]," said Geoff. "The idea just grew and grew and now we are actually doing it." He said they were stopping at every station but not always getting off. If they got off the train at each station it would probably tell them more than 10 months, they added. The couple were due to explore the Norfolk and Suffolk train lines on Sunday before heading back to London. So far they have visited about 850 stations. The couple have been documenting their challenge on their Twitter and Facebook pages. Shippea Hill received a boost in December when former Great British Bake Off finalist Ian Cumming offered mince pies to anyone who disembarked there and attracted 16 people to the station.

More than 20 people travelled to the UK's least visited railway station to meet a couple attempting a train challenge with a difference.

"Isolationism cannot bring prosperity to a society," said Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. Nieto's remarks came at the end of the Three Amigos Summit with US President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa. The three leaders reaffirmed their commitment to work together. And they pledged to produce 50% of their countries' electricity from clean energy by 2025. The show of unity comes at a time when questions are being asked of trade agreements. British voters have opted to leave the European Union and US presidential candidate Donald Trump has vowed to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta). Mr Obama said at the summit in Ottawa that he will keep working for a trans-Pacific trade deal. That agreement is currently stuck in the US Congress and is opposed by both Republican Mr Trump and his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. The US president said countries must not shut themselves off from the world and should instead strive towards an integrated economy and ways to raise standards for workers and the environment. Mr Trudeau opened the conference by poking fun at President Barack Obama's impending retirement, to which Obama smiled and gave a thumbs up. The three nations, which belong to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), said a more integrated, united North America was vital to the both countries' and the global economies. "We will build upon this strong trilateral economic relationship, and further facilitate trade among our three countries, and improve the networks that allow us to produce products and services together," the leaders said in a statement. As the rest of the world shrugs its shoulders at the unravelling of the EU-UK partnership, North American leaders are gathering to promote the strength of theirs. The summit is dubbed the "Three Amigos", but the friendship between the three hasn't always been as tight as that name suggests. Canada's former Prime Minister Stephen Harper didn't see eye to eye with President Obama on a range of issues including climate change and the Keystone Pipeline, and both the US and Canada have had tensions with Mexico over immigration. After a day of meetings with Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto on Tuesday, Justin Trudeau pledged to lift visa restrictions for Mexicans - in turn Mexico promised to lift a ban on beef exports - as a way to strength ties. But as President Obama prepares to exit the White House, the balance of this trinity of leaders is sure to change, whether it's Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in the White House. "Better partnerships are a path to prosperity," Mr Trudeau said, ahead of the talks. "And that's a compelling example that we want to showcase at a time where unfortunately people are prone to turning inwards, which will be at the cost of economic growth and their own success." Tensions are mounting over the benefits of globalisation following the referendum in the UK, where many who voted to leave the EU expressed concern over border control and jobs. US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has echoed similar sentiment, saying free trade has cost thousands of American jobs. Mr Obama and Mr Trudeau are also expected to discuss international peacekeeping efforts in their bilateral talks behind closed doors, according to Canadian media. Mr Obama will also address Parliament after the meeting. It was announced this week that Mr Trudeau will appear as a cartoon character on the cover of an issue of Marvel in August.

Canada, the US and Mexico vowed to strengthen economic ties in the wake of the UK's decision to leave the EU and growing anti-globalisation sentiment.

After World War Two he worked to document what happened at Sobibor, one of three secret death camps built by the Nazis in occupied eastern Poland. About 250,000 people, mainly Jews, were murdered there from 1942-43. More than 34,000 were from the Netherlands. Jules Schelvis lost most of his family in the war and survived six more camps until he was finally freed in 1945. He was a co-plaintiff in the trial of Sobibor guard John Demjanjuk, who was found guilty in 2011 of being an accessory to the murder of 28,000 Jews. The Nazis tried to cover up the existence of Sobibor and little was known about it as so few people had survived. Schelvis was one of only 18 Dutch people to come back from Sobibor. He died at his home in Amstelveen, near Amsterdam. Schelvis began writing about the camp in the 1980s when he retired and set up the Sobibor Foundation . He was transported to Sobibor aged 22 from the Westerbork camp in June 1943, along with his wife and in-laws who were murdered within hours. Schelvis himself was later sent to a labour camp after speaking to an SS officer using German he had learned at school. Initially he believed he was the only Dutch survivor but eventually found another 17 people who had returned home. Asked why he had devoted years of his life to documenting the horrors of Sobibor, he once said: "I did it for everyone who was murdered there. First of all for my wife and the family and everyone else."

The last Dutch survivor of the Nazi extermination camp at Sobibor, Jules Schelvis, has died at his home aged 95.

The cryptosporidium bug was found at Franklaw water treatment works outside Preston on 6 August 2015. The prosecution is being brought by the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI), which said the outbreak affected about 700,000 people in the area. United Utilities said it took "a full and open role" during the DWI inquiry. The firm faces three charges alleging it supplied water unfit for human consumption, it failed to properly disinfect supplies, and it failed to design and continuously operate an adequate treatment process. The initial hearing will take place at Preston Magistrates Court on 30 June. A spokesman for United Utilities said it had "complied with all requests for information" but "it would be inappropriate to comment further now until after the case has been concluded". Homeowners in Blackpool, Chorley, Fylde, Preston, South Ribble and Wyre were advised to boil their drinking water after the microbial parasite was discovered in 2015. The bug, which was found during routine tests, can cause diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. Robert Light, northern chair for the Consumer Council for Water, said: "We are disappointed it has taken almost two years to reach this point and customers are still waiting for answers."

United Utilities is to be prosecuted over water contamination that left up to 300,000 homeowners unable to drink tap water for more than three weeks.

28 April 2017 Last updated at 08:27 BST But it's also a sport that has been growing in popularity in the UK for many years. So is it all about pom-poms, fancy costumes and rhyming chants? Watch Whitney's report to find out about all the hard work that goes into being a cheerleader. Iain O'Hara was at Keepers Pond, Blaenavon, at 12:30 BST on 5 June, when fire lighters were pushed into the back wheel and set alight. He filmed the blaze and put footage on Facebook in order to try and catch the culprit. Gwent Police has appealed for information about the incident. Mr O'Hara from Nantyglo, Blaenau Gwent, said he was warned by customers that the van was on fire and managed to escape unharmed. While he is still able to use it, Mr O'Hara said paintwork has been damaged and he must buy new parts for machinery. "If a compressor had gone up, myself and whoever I was serving could have been seriously injured or killed," he said. Sussex raced to 87-2 in what was scheduled to be a nine-over contest. Captain Ross Taylor (40 not out off 19 balls) and young North Walian Phil Salt (28 not out) had set up a challenging Sussex total. Paceman Marchant de Lange claimed the early wickets of Luke Wright and Chris Nash in his first over. Glamorgan have revealed that batsman David Lloyd will be out for two to four weeks with an arm strain, while Sussex did not field fast bowler Tymal Mills who made his comeback from injury against Hampshire the previous night. Glamorgan captain Jacques Rudolph told BBC Wales Sport: "It wasn't ideal, the umpires did a good job getting us onto the field and if you look at the scorecard of just over ten runs an over, we would have backed ourselves to give a good opportunity to win this game. "A bit hit and miss (with the ball), but Salt played really well. He ran at Marchant who bowls quickly and hit him nicely, so credit to them. "Overall we've been playing some good cricket and there's a good spirit in our environment, so it would be nice to get in a full game on Sunday (at home to Essex)." Sussex batsman Phil Salt told BBC Sussex: "It was a stopping wicket, but they bowled quite well- I got off to a flier but didn't kick on as I would have liked. "It was quite a big learner for me watching how Ross played his innings, it's important for me to see how top international players play that sort of situation. "I started playing at St Asaph in North Wales, around seven or eight, but my parents moved to the Caribbean for work and that's where I started playing properly. I'm not your normal English batsman, I like to be exciting and T20's my favourite format." The staff at Community Safety Glasgow (CSG), an arms-length council body, want better pay for shift work. The union Unison said 18 of its members - more than 90% of the staff - would take part in the action from 19:00 until 19:00 on Sunday. CSG said it had "business continuity plans in place" to ensure monitoring of Glasgow's CCTV network. Unison Glasgow branch secretary Brian Smith said: "These members work 12-hour shift patterns, providing a 24-hour service every day of the year. "Other workers in CSG and Glasgow City Council on similar shift patterns receive an additional annual payment of £7,500. It is just a question of equality and fairness. "We have given the employer years to sort this out through a promised job evaluation scheme which has now been shelved. Our members have been left with no option but to take strike action." Another 48-hour strike has also been planned for Thursday 17 March until Saturday 19 March. A spokesman for CSG said: "Public safety is paramount and we have business continuity plans in place to enable us to continue to monitor the city's CCTV network." The 20-1 shot, ridden by Daniel Tudhope and trained by David O'Meara, denied Ryan Moore a fourth win of the day. The jockey had earlier secured a 575-1 treble - on Ballet Concerto in the Spring Mile Handicap, Tupi in the Cammidge Trophy Stakes and Kool Kompany in the Doncaster Mile Stakes. Donncha was third, with Gabrial fourth. "He was held up slightly on the far side of the field, so to get that win was a real result," O'Meara told ITV. "It means an awful lot. You like to hit the ground running - sometimes you come here and loads of bubbles are burst, but it's nice to win. It tells you you've probably done the right thing over the winter." BBC Sport horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght The relief from the betting industry as Bravery's last-gasp success defied a Ryan Moore four-timer was palpable. They could have done without a massive pay-out on combination bets on Moore's mounts a week before the potential uncertainties of the Grand National. There was not so much relief as delight from the winning team, which has endured near-misses in this most competitive of races in the past, but finally nailed it. And what a way to start the new season: David O'Meara admits to taking time to find his feet after a move of stables within Yorkshire, but things are well on track again now. The 31-year-old appeared at Bucharest municipal court in Romania, charged with producing and distributing indecent images of children as well as blackmail. He was remanded in custody. Ronan Hughes, a 17-year-old from Coalisland, took his own life in June 2015 having been the victim of what the police call webcam blackmail. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said it had been liaising with a number of agencies in a variety of jurisdictions as part of the investigation, including the Romanian Police, Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism, the National Crime Agency, and Europol. PSNI's Detective Superintendent Gary Reid said PSNI detectives are currently in Romania assisting with the investigation. "This has been complex and protracted and we are grateful to our colleagues in our partner agencies for their assistance to date," he said. Det Supt Reid confirmed the man would be tried in Romania with the assistance of the PSNI. "We'll be taking over our information that led to today's arrest," he said. Calling on anyone else who finds themselves in a similar position to Ronan Hughes to contact police, he added: "We understand people might be embarrassed by it but we would say please, set that aside. "If you don't feel comfortable speaking to us, speak to a third party because we don't want any more deaths." This is potentially a huge success for the PSNI. At the time of Ronan Hughes' death, few expected any arrests to be made. The police warned at the time that catching anyone involved would be extremely difficult because they were based "on the other side of the world". Ronan's parents said they believed their son had been targeted by a gang based in Nigeria. The PSNI publicly agreed that the blackmailers were probably based somewhere in Africa. But privately their investigations led them in a different direction. The PSNI's specialist cyber-crime unit was able to trace the computer used to blackmail the teenager. They then worked closely with police in Romania. A number of PSNI officers then flew to Romania to arrest the suspect. The police will hope this arrest will send a strong message that distance doesn't protect from detection and prosecution of suspected internet crimes. Ronan was tricked into sharing intimate images of himself online, and some of them were then sent to his friends when he failed to pay a ransom. Just hours later, the teenager, who was a pupil of St Joseph's Grammar in Donaghmore, took his own life. Earlier this month, the PSNI said that 100 webcam blackmails had been reported to them this year. They said people of all ages have been targeted, adding that cyber-stalking was becoming a "prevalent issue" in Northern Ireland. Webcam blackmail involves overseas criminals scouring the web for people they can build a rapport with, before deceiving them into performing a sexual act on video. The footage is recorded and then used to blackmail victims for money. TNS, who won their 11th title in 2016-17, play the first leg at home on 27 June, with the return leg on 4 July. In the Europa League, Bala Town face FC Vaduz (Liechtenstein), Connah's Quay Nomads have HJK Helsinki (Finland) and Bangor City play Lyngby BK (Denmark). The first legs are scheduled for 29 June, with the return on 6 July. Bala and the Nomads will have home advantage in the first leg, while Bangor will start away in Denmark. If TNS beat Europa, they will face Croatian side HNK Rijeka in the Champions League second qualifying round. But Saints interim manager Scott Ruscoe says they are keeping their minds on beating Europa FC first. "It's not a bad draw logistically for us because it's going to be close with direct flights, things like that," said Ruscoe, who is in charge following Craig Harrison's departure to take over Hartlepool. "I'm just pleased we didn't pick out the Armenian side or had to go to Kosovo, because that would have been difficult going into the unknown. "We've seen enough of Europa FC, they're a decent side and... beat Lincoln to the title who were always thereabouts in [qualifying for] Europe." Ruscoe revealed that the away leg on 4 July will be played in Portugal, possibly in Faro, as the pitch at the multi-sport Victoria Stadium in Gibraltar failed a Uefa inspection. "A week Tuesday we'll be at Park Hall and after that in Portugal," he told BBC Wales Sport. "We're very happy to be at home first, you can put your stamp on the tie early on. "We're good at home. Touch wood, we can get off to a good start, we can suss them out... but our clear message will be to play our normal way." Hammond's treble, plus tries from Val Rapava Ruskin and Sam Betty, gave Warriors a 35-7 half-time lead. Further scores followed through Ben Howard, a penalty try which saw Enisei wing Igor Kurashov sent off, Sam Ripper-Smith and Max Stelling. Mikhail Gachechiladze and Valeri Morozov scored the Russians' tries. Kurashov was shown the red card 12 minutes from the end for illegally knocking the ball out of Hammond's hands as the Worcester wing threatened a fourth try. Worcester's victory means they climb above Enisei to finish third in Pool Three.

A brace from Marc Richards and another from Matt Taylor saw the hosts seemingly cruising at 3-0 up with 16 minutes to go, but they were made to sweat in the end as goals from George Miller and Zeli Ismail set up a grandstand finish. Both sides had early chances, Sam Hoskins denied by Ben Williams and Marc Richards heading over for the Cobblers while Tom Walker fired over for the visitors. Neil Danns also saw his effort saved by Adam Smith before Danny Mayor shot wide from the edge of the box as Bury pushed for the opener. Chances continued to fall at both ends and in between efforts from the lively Hoskins and Paul Anderson for Northampton, Bury defender Antony Kay should have done better with a close-range header which he could not keep on target. The deadlock was broken in the 36th minute when Taylor's free-kick was fired into the bottom corner of the net by Richards. It was almost 2-0 before the break when Hoskins raced through but he was denied by Williams, who also thwarted JJ Hooper. After the restart Taylor was just off target from a free-kick and Hoskins fired over before again denied by Williams as Town looked to build on their lead. That second goal arrived in the 64th minute, when Hoskins earned a penalty which Richards converted for his second goal of the afternoon. Hooper fired wide before the Cobblers made it 3-0 in the 71st minute with another trademark Taylor free-kick, the midfielder finding the top corner of the net. That goal looked to have killed off Bury, but they reduced the arrears in the 74th minute when Miller headed home after being set up by Danns following a free-kick. The visitors then pulled another goal back in the 82nd minute when Ismail netted from the edge of the box. Bury pushed for an equaliser and they almost got it in stoppage time when Kay saw his shot saved by Smith. Match report supplied by the Press Association. Match ends, Northampton Town 3, Bury 2.

The Jamaican, who has been struggling for fitness, won both his heat and the final in 9.87 seconds in wet conditions at the Olympic Stadium. Media playback is not supported on this device "I really wanted to run faster," said Bolt, 28, who defends his world title next month. "But it's getting there." Meanwhile, Britain's double Olympic champion Mo Farah received a great reception as he won the 3,000m. Farah, 32, was competing in England for the first time since allegations of doping were made against coach Alberto Salazar, claims which Salazar and Farah both deny. Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill, returning to the scene of her greatest triumph, ran 12.79 in a world-class 100m hurdles - just 0.25secs off the personal best she set on this track three years ago. On the weekend when she will decide whether to compete at next month's World Championships in Beijing, the 29-year-old looks like she is finding her best form in her first season back since giving birth to her son, Reggie. Besides Farah, other British winners on the night were 20-year-old Anguilla-born sprinter Zharnel Hughes, a member of Bolt's training group in Jamaica, in the 200m, and Laura Weightman, who triumphed in the 1500m. Bolt had only raced once over 100m in 2015 before Friday, recording a time of 10.12 in April, because of a pelvic problem. But his times on Friday were season's bests and equal sixth-fastest times of the year over the distance, although they are still behind American Justin Gatlin's world-leading time of 9.74. Competing on the track where he won three gold medals at London 2012, Bolt started poorly in the final but overpowered his rivals in the last 10m. America's Michael Rodgers was 0.03secs behind in second, while Bolt's compatriot Kemar Bailey-Cole was third in a personal best 9.92. Significantly, British 100m champion CJ Ujah ran under 10 seconds for the second time in his career, equalling his personal best 9.96 on a chilly London evening. Bolt promised to put on a show for the fans who endured a rain-soaked evening in east London to watch him compete in the first of a two-day Diamond League meeting. As is always the way with the sport's principal showman his performance was more than a dash to the line: there was a lap around the track in a classic convertible to open the night and the habitual fooling around at the start line before he got down to business. There are those who question whether we will see the Jamaican, who has run the three fastest times in history, at his best again, because of age and injury. But he won his heat effortlessly - running into a headwind - and while winning the final was more of a challenge, he still clocked a world-class time. Thousands roared his every stride, flags waving and flashbulbs popping, simply pleased to see an athlete who transcends his sport back on the track. The Jamaican said in his press conference on Thursday he was not intending to lose in Beijing, where he won the first of his three Olympic titles. Importantly, he has time to improve ahead of the Worlds and is closer to the heels of Gatlin than many had previously thought. Gatlin, a two-time drugs cheat, has run under 9.8 secs in the blue riband event four times this year - 9.74, 9.75, 9.75, 9.78 - while Bolt has now run just three 100m races. While the year's top three 100m sprinters, Gatlin, Asafa Powell and Trayvon Bromell, were not competing in London, Bolt's times in the Olympic Stadium were a loud and clear message that a successful defence of his 100m and 200m world titles is not fanciful talk. The knee injury which hindered him last season has healed, while the pelvic problem which forced the Jamaican to withdraw from Diamond League meetings in Paris and Lausanne this month doesn't, on Friday night's evidence, seem to be serious. And his form will be a relief to those who regard Bolt as the saviour of an event clouded by doping and feared Gatlin would easily win a sprint double next month. With less than a month until the World Championships, it was a night full of promise for 21-year-old CJ Ujah, which suggests he can compete with the best in Beijing. He finished ahead of Frenchman Jimmy Vicaut, the fourth-fastest man this season, and compatriot James Dasaolu, who was ninth in a disappointing 10.19. "It's crazy to run in front of my home crowd. I just want to build on this ahead of Beijing," said Ujah, one of five men to go under 10 seconds on the night. "This is my first time running in the stadium, so this is all quite new to me - the atmosphere was just electric." Zharnel Hughes produced a stunning personal best of 20.05 to win the men's 200m in a time that only two Britons - John Regis and Adam Gemili - have bettered. "I didn't expect the PB because last week I had a niggle in my hamstring. I was just thinking relax and get to the line," said Hughes, who earned his British passport last month. So dreadful were the conditions on occasion, the men's pole vault was suspended until Saturday, with world record holder Renaud Lavillenie apologising to the crowd afterwards. When the women's 400m runners opened the racing the rain had abated and defending world champion Christine Ohuruogu went on to finish fourth, 0.18secs adrift of the season's best 50.82 she set in Monaco last week. There was a personal best 51.48 for Welsh athlete Seren Bundy-Davies in the same race, while in the men's 110m hurdles her compatriot David Omeregie set a personal best 13.50 in the heats. With British Athletics selecting their squad for the Worlds on 27 July, Laura Weightman made a statement of intent by winning the women's 1500m. "I've had a tricky few races recently and that made me lose a bit of confidence, so this has really brought it back and told me that I am in the right place." Mr Megraw was one of the 16 murder victims who became known as the Disappeared. His remains were found in a drainage ditch on Oristown bog, near Kells, by contractors called in to prepare the site for forensic excavations. DNA tests have positively identified the remains as those of Mr Megraw. The coroner for the city of Dublin has accepted this as evidence of identification and will shortly authorise the release of the remains to the family. In a statement, Brendan Megraw's brother, Kieran, said the family are relieved that he has been found. "He has been alone for nearly 40 years and now we can bring him home and lay him to rest with our mum and dad," he said. "We want to thank all those who have supported us over the years." He added: "Brendan was found because more information came in to refine the search area and we are hugely grateful for whoever provided it. "We hope and pray that the suffering of those still waiting for the return of their loved ones will soon be brought to an end". Mr Megraw was 23 when he was abducted from Twinbrook in Belfast in 1978, and murdered by the IRA. He had recently been married and was awaiting the birth of his daughter. His kidnappers had drugged his wife, Marie, in their home as they waited for his return, and as they took him away they warned her not to worry or contact police. The Megraw family were only told by the IRA in 1999 that he was one of the Disappeared and his body had been dumped on the bogland near the town of Kells in County Meath. Three previous searches for Mr Megraw, the most recent in 2010, were unsuccessful. The Disappeared were abducted, murdered and secretly buried by republican paramilitaries during the Troubles. Separate searches have also taken place on bogland a few miles away from where Mr Megraw was buried in County Meath for the remains of Kevin McKee and Seamus Wright, both of whom were abducted by the IRA in October 1972. It is also suspected Joseph Lynskey, a former Cistercian monk taken from the Beechmount area of west Belfast in the summer of 1972, was also buried somewhere in the region. This ranking of online searches is very different from the traditional map of the global powerhouses of higher education. There is a strong interest in online courses, rather than traditional campus-based universities, says Google. And there are five Indian institutions in the top 20 of most searched-for universities. The top search worldwide is for the University of Phoenix, a US-based, for-profit university, with many online courses and a sometimes controversial record on recruitment. The University of Phoenix, founded in the 1970s, comes ahead of famous US academic institutions such as Harvard, Stanford and Columbia. In second place in this league table of university searches is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - last week ranked as the world's best university and also an institution with a strong record for pioneering online courses. The top European university is not some ancient institution, but the UK's distance learning pioneer, the Open University. It has been developing online courses, including for the US, and is in third place in the Google most-searched rankings. University College London and the London School of Economics are both ahead of Oxford and Cambridge among UK universities. The University of Calicut, in Kerala, India, is fourth in this ranking of online searches. And Anna University in Chennai is the second Indian university in the top 10. Liberty University, an evangelical Christian university based in Virginia in the US, with many online students, appears in the top 20. The internet has become a key marketplace for universities to reach potential students, says Google's analysis. It is also increasingly the medium for delivering courses, including massive open online courses or "Moocs". In 2013, searches for online universities overtook traditional universities. Taking the UK higher education system as an example, Google's search patterns show a globalised and fast-changing market. Among searches worldwide for UK universities, 40% are from outside the UK. The biggest international regions for searching for UK universities are Asia Pacific and western Europe. This has helped to put five UK universities in the top 20 - but Google's report on search data shows the volatility and pace of change. In 2011, the most searched-for universities in the UK, apart from the Open University, were conventional campus-based institutions, headed by Oxford and Cambridge. By 2014, all of these UK campus universities had been overtaken by Coursera, the US-based provider of online courses. Other Mooc providers, such as edX and FutureLearn, had also emerged as bigger than many traditional UK universities. "The growth that they've experienced has been phenomenal," says the Google analysis. "Higher education institutions must decide whether to embrace and adapt or risk getting left behind." The Khan Academy, which has been providing online teaching material since 2006, has more search activity than Cambridge University, teaching since the 13th Century. Universities are acutely aware of the importance of their online presence, says Ronald Ehrenberg, director of Cornell University's Higher Education Research Institute in New York. The internet is the "primary way" that universities market themselves to potential students and to alumni, says Prof Ehrenberg. "We update our web page multiple times a week to broadcast all the news that is going on at the university and all of the achievements, including research, of our faculty and students, and showcase all the visitors to the university. "But this is only the tip of the iceberg in the way that the internet has changed how we behave. "Many institutions are heavily into online instruction as a way of expanding enrolments... many institutions are moving to expand revenues by growing professional masters programmes in a wide range of areas." Nick Hillman, director of the Higher Education Policy Institute in London, says the impact of Moocs has been "over-sold". But he says university websites have an important role in recruiting, particularly for overseas students. The Google data suggests that academics, accustomed to university terms, will also need to pay attention to search terms. "The internet is playing an ever increasing role in the decision making. Students are online searching and consuming content in all forms when they are deciding whether or not to go to university and deciding which universities to apply for," said Harry Walker, education industry head at Google. Connor Jennings came closest to breaking the deadlock in a tight first half, heading against a post for the away side from Adam Buxton's neat cross. In the second half, Rovers rued a miss from James Norwood, as Williamson went up the other end and found the top corner at the near post with precision and calmness. Richard Hill's side were always in control, as emphasised in the latter stages when McAllister and Sam Matthews came off the bench, with the latter crossing for the former to head in off the underside of the bar.

But leaders from Protestant churches said God was the defender of the weak, "who today include refugees". Mr Hofer's Freedom Party has campaigned against immigration. The Christian leaders - not including the country's dominant Catholic Church - also said God was not Western, but universal. "God cannot be manipulated for personal intentions or political purposes," Bishop Michael Buenker said in a joint statement with other Protestant leaders (in German). "We consider that mentioning God for one's own political interests and using him along with reference to the Christian West to indirectly attack other religions and cultures amounts to an abuse of his name and of religion in general. "We reject the use of God for political campaigning." In response, Mr Hofer tweeted the lyrics to the Austrian national anthem (in German), which mention God, a picture of a US dollar note bearing the slogan "In God we trust" and a picture of the cover of a book about German Chancellor Angela Merkel, entitled So wahr mir Gott helfe. Mrs Merkel used the optional phrase at her swearing-in ceremony. It is the exact same slogan as Mr Hofer used, and translates to "So help me God". Mr Hofer is facing an independent Green-backed candidate, Alexander van der Bellen, in an election which is being rerun because of procedural irregularities. If he wins, he will become the first far-right head of state in Europe since the EU was founded. In May, he lost by 31,000 votes to Mr van der Bellen, but the Freedom Party's claim of procedural irregularities was upheld in court and the election will be re-run in December. The re-run had to be postponed after an October attempt was curtailed due to postal vote envelopes not being sticky enough. The Freedom Party said Mr Hofer's slogan had come directly from his heart. Party official Herbert Kickl said the phrase was "in no way a misuse of the concept of God" and that mentioning God was "deeply rooted in our tradition and culture". His other slogans included "Norbert Hofer: for Austria with heart and soul". Mr Hofer was born into a Roman Catholic family but has since become a Protestant. His wife and children are Catholic. Philippe Lamberts said MEPs could move from the French city to their other building in Brussels, Belgium. His suggestion came as new proposals to redistribute 160,000 migrants were announced. An influx of hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees has sparked a crisis in the 28-nation EU. "This parliament where we are gathered today, well we use it only 50 days of the year," Mr Lamberts said as lawmakers debated an address by European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker. "For the other 300 days, the 750 MEP offices, all heated, all with their own shower cubicle, remain empty and useless. "We propose that this... perfectly equipped building be used as a temporary home for the migrants and refugees while we do our work in Brussels." Migrants have been pouring into western EU countries, particularly Austria and Germany, where they are being cared for in registration centres. But officials say they are struggling to cope with the numbers. The Green Party has been a fierce critic of the European Parliament's monthly move between Brussels and Strasbourg, branding it expensive and damaging to the environment. The city stands on the Rhine facing Germany, and France insists it is a symbol of post-war unity and friendship. Strasbourg hotels, restaurants and other services also benefit from the regular visits by MEPs, parliament staff, journalists and lobbyists. The Strasbourg parliament building was inaugurated in 1999 by then French President Jacques Chirac. In 2008, part of the ceiling in the plenary chamber collapsed. Fortunately, the room was empty at the time and no-one was hurt. The Airlander 10 - which is part plane and part airship - took off from Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire. Its original test flight on Sunday was postponed, but it finally left the ground at 19:40 BST. The £25m aircraft measures 302ft (92m) long and is about 50ft (15m) longer than the biggest passenger jets. Live: Latest updates on the maiden flight of Airlander 10 In pictures: The Airlander 10 on the day of its maiden flight Sunday's attempt was dropped because of a "technical issue" which could not be resolved in time for a daylight flight. The airship is not allowed to fly at night during the test stage. Christened the Martha Gwyn, the aircraft was first developed for the US government as a surveillance aircraft but the project was shelved amid defence cutbacks. British firm Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV) launched a campaign to return the Airlander 10 to the skies in May 2015. The huge aircraft will be able to stay airborne for around five days during manned flights. HAV claims it could be used for a variety of functions such as surveillance, communications, delivering aid and even passenger travel. The company hopes to be building 10 Airlanders a year by 2021. The Airlander 10 was launched from Cardington Sheds, a Grade II-listed relic of World War One which housed airships in the 1920s. The body of Oliver Gobat, 38, was found in a burnt-out car on the Caribbean island in April last year. He was reportedly shot and then set alight. After the inquest in Woking delivered its verdict, The Foreign Office said it had been agreed in principle UK police could assist investigators in St Lucia. Surrey Police said no request for assistance had yet been made. Mr Gobat, known as Ollie, was born on the island but grew up in Surrey, where he played junior cricket at county level. He and his two older brothers ran a five-star boutique hotel at an exclusive resort in St Lucia. The Foreign Office said any assistance from UK forces would have to be funded by Caribbean authorities. But, it said, no decision had been made to deploy police to St Lucia and it could not comment on cost details. Surrey Police said it was aware of Mrs May's decision and would "carefully" consider any requests from St Lucia. The report, Mapping the Social Business Sector in Wales, identified 1,698 organisations operating in the social business sector in Wales. This includes co-operatives, mutuals, social enterprises and employee-owned businesses. It is based on a survey of 810 organisations - 48% of the sector. Other key findings of the report were: Glenn Bowen, director of enterprise at the Wales Co-operative Centre, said the report suggested there had been "real growth" in the sector in the last two years. He said: "Social businesses are often formed as a result of issues identified at a grassroots level by a local community. "They plug gaps in provision and, in some cases, grow through innovative delivery and defining services in direct response to their community's needs." Economy Secretary Ken Skates said the Welsh Government was "committed to working closely with social businesses to help them to thrive and grow". The research was commissioned by Social Business Wales and conducted by Wavehill Ltd. Santosh Benjamin-Muthiah died in November 2010 after he was overcome by smoke at his home in Wealdstone, north London. The 36-year-old helped his two daughters to safety through a window. His daughters - one aged three and the other three months - survived, but he did not escape the house himself. Coroner Andrew Walker has accepted recommendations put forward by Hertfordshire Trading Standards and London Fire Brigade about the way safety problems are recorded and how irresponsible manufacturers should be punished. He will now urge the government to reform safety standards. Lawyers representing Mr Benjamin-Muthiah's family said the changes "would stop manufacturers keeping safety issues secret" and force them to take action. Mr Walker recorded a narrative verdict at North London Coroner's Court, which blamed a defrost timer on the family's Beko fridge-freezer for the blaze. The inquest previously heard that Beko, one of Europe's largest white goods brands, had been aware of a possible safety issue with components as far back as 2003 but failed to rectify it. Mr Walker said he could not be sure what caused the defrost timer to fail and said a product recall to fix the problematic component might not have prevented the blaze. The family's lawyer, Jill Patterson, said the inquest had highlighted problems with regulating products and product recall. "The changes could potentially overhaul consumer product safety regulation," she said. "They put the power back in to the hands of consumers and stop manufacturers from keeping their problems secret." After the inquest, Mr Benjamin-Muthiah's wife Jennifer said: "Manufacturers, producers and their retailers should be held more accountable for their actions, or their lack of response to consumer safety concerns. "The value of a human life is priceless." Palmer, who has died at the age of 87, was the first sportsman to use his fame to build a business empire, through an array of commercial ventures. He put his name to products and services, including United Airlines, Cadillac cars, Rolex watches, Hertz car rental and Callaway golfing products. The effects of his vision spilled over into other sports including tennis. "He had the good looks, and affable persona and smile, as well as golfing ability, to become the template for what every successful sports endorser should be," says sports sponsorship expert Nigel Currie. "He had all the attributes you need to maximise your earnings through commercial activities. "Before then sportsmen made all their money from hitting a ball in a sporting arena." Indeed, the man nicknamed The King, was the first golf player to make $1m from playing the sport. He was Mark McCormack's - the undisputed king of sports marketing - first client at agency IMG, and together they invented a way of making more money off the golf course than on it. In the first two years of his agreement with Mr McCormack, the golfer's endorsement earnings leapt from $6,000 a year to more than $500,000. Palmer put his name to a variety of products and services, including United Airlines, Cadillac cars, Rolex watches, Hertz car rental, Pennzoil engine fluid, Callaway golfing products and E-Z-Go golf carts. And he founded Arnold Palmer Enterprises to handle his endorsements and other ventures. "Palmer was such a huge golfing icon in America, he was hugely popular with the public, and he and McCormack were able to make money from using his personality in conjunction with different brands," says Mr Currie. "And it was not just endorsements during his playing career, nor indeed just golf brands. "He also made a huge amount of money after he stopped playing." The golfer was loved as an everyman superstar, and even had a drink named after him - the Arnold Palmer cocktail, made from one part iced tea and one part lemonade. He also gave his name to a professional tournament - The Arnold Palmer Invitational, held each March at his private golf resort in Bay Hill, Florida. He also leaves behind nearly 300 signature-designed courses. "Whether he was able to physically oversee and have total control over the development of all of these courses is arguable," says Mr Currie. "But he will have worked with top people in bringing them to fruition, and certainly will have had a huge involvement in each design." As well as endorsements and course designs, Palmer is also credited with helping to make golf a popular TV sport during the late 1950s. Palmer attracted thousands of diehard fans known as "Arnie's army" and helped to promote the game into the television age. Mr Currie says that the power of Palmer's personality in securing such a powerful commercial position for himself should not be underrated, given that he was not the most global successful player ever. "Jack Nicklaus was the more successful player, and won more titles," he says. Nicklaus won 18 majors, and Tiger Woods has won 14, while Palmer secured an impressive seven majors between 1958 and 1964, as part of his overall haul of 90 tournaments worldwide. "Palmer had a short career at the very top, and did not win a major title after the early 1960s." But he had shown he was already thinking ahead to a career off the course, shrewdly signing that IMG deal with McCormack as early as 1960. Nowadays it is commonplace for sports stars to put their names to commercial products. But half a century ago such as association between sport and brands was unheard of. Palmer has left a legacy for which today's high earning stars, earning astronomical sums from their own deals, should be eternally grateful. The likes of Tiger Woods, who signed lucrative deals with global firms such as Nike, American Express and GM, Nick Faldo and Greg Norman, who launched a number of commercial ventures, from sports clothing to wines, as well as tennis stars such as Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova all followed in the path created by Palmer. "He was the prototype for all of today's high earning sports men and women, and one of the few people you can truly say changed the world of sports business," says Mr Currie. "As well as being as a highly significant business figure, he was also an American and golfing icon." Of more than 90 trusts that responded to FOI requests, half are making at least £1m a year, the news agency Press Association (PA) found. The Patients Association said the charges were "morally wrong". But many trusts defended their revenues, saying some or all of the money was put back into patient care. The investigation showed hospitals were making increasing amounts of money from staff, patients and visitors - including those who are disabled - who used their car parks. It also found hospitals were giving millions of pounds to private firms to run their car parks for them, with some receiving money from parking fines. Others are tied into private finance initiative contracts, where all the money charged from car parks goes to companies under the terms of the scheme. Seven NHS trusts earned more than £3m in 2014-15 from charges, another eight made more than £2m a year and a further 33 earned more than £1m a year. Almost half of all trusts also charged disabled people for parking in some or all of their disabled spaces. Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association, said: "The money is never reinvested in frontline services. Hospital car parks are often managed by private contractors who take a huge percentage of the profits. "This is morally wrong - and charging disabled people is a disgrace." Laura Keely, from charity Macmillan Cancer Support, told the BBC: "You shouldn't necessarily penalise cancer patients and other people with long-term conditions who are having to attend hospital to receive life saving treatment, that just isn't fair. "There could be concessionary schemes. There could be barrier schemes, people proving that they are there for a hospital appointment, to weed out people who should not be using the hospital [car park] to do their Christmas shopping." Shadow health minister Andrew Gwynne said the figures were "worrying". Josie Irwin, head of employment relations at the Royal College of Nursing, said the charges were having a "real impact" on nurses' pay. Hospital car parking charges in Scotland and Wales were abolished in 2008. Three car parks in Scotland, operated under Private Finance Initiative contracts, still have car parking fees. The Scottish government said there are no plans to abolish charges at these hospitals. Three hospitals in Wales also continue to charge, but have been told to stop doing so once their contracts with private parking firms end in 2018. A spokesperson for Northern Ireland's Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety said hospital parking charges are permitted "where they are set to recover the cost of investment in and maintenance of car park provision including associated security costs". Patients receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy treatment, patients receiving renal dialysis and next of kin visiting patients in critical care or a high dependency unit are eligible for free car parking in Northern Ireland. The London North West Healthcare NHS Trust paid £1.8m in 2014 went to the company Apcoa, which manages the Northwick Park multi-storey under a PFI contract. The company, which pays the trust about £40,000 a month on a lease basis, also kept £34,052 in parking fines in 2014. Some NHS trusts also raised a significant amount from charging staff for parking. Of the £3,876,314 the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust raised from parking charges in 2014-15, £1,206,836 was from staff. Many trusts said the money was put back into patient care or was spent on maintaining car parks or grounds. Others said their size and the fact that they served busy neighbourhoods meant they took more in revenue. A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "We expect all NHS organisations to follow our guidelines on car parking, including offering discounts to disabled people. "Patients and families shouldn't have to deal with the added stress of unfair parking charges and our guidance rightly helps the public hold the NHS to account for any unfair charges or practices." The 27-year-old has scored in each of his six league games since joining the Scottish champions. "On a personal level, it's about me getting back to enjoying football and that's exactly what I'm doing," Sinclair told BBC Scotland after Saturday's 6-1 win over Kilmarnock. "I've got a manager who believes in me and gets the best out of me." Sinclair and Rodgers worked together at Chelsea and Swansea and were reunited when Celtic paid Aston Villa an undisclosed fee to bring the player in on a four-year deal in August. The manager hailed Sinclair's "incredible" goal-run, revealing the winger had been hampered by recent illness. "Scott was not well all week," Rodgers explained. "He didn't train after the game last weekend and we gave him a 45 minute rest on Wednesday [the 2-0 League Cup win against Alloa]. "But he always has a hunger to work hard and to score. "He showed great composure for the goal." Sinclair's strike against Kilmarnock came from the penalty spot, with Leigh Griffiths giving up the opportunity to score after he was fouled. The gesture from the striker, who had already netted as a substitute on his return from injury, was appreciated, with Sinclair saying: "It was great from Griff and it just goes to show the togetherness in the team. "I came here to score goals and create and as long as I'm doing my job I'm happy." Next up for Celtic is a Champions League meeting with one of Sinclair's former clubs, Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's side top the Premier League and have won all 10 of their games since the Spaniard took over, including a 4-0 demolition of Borussia Monchengladbach in their Group C opener, while Celtic were routed 7-0 in Barcelona. "It's going to be massive," said Sinclair, who moved to City from Swansea in 2012. "All the players are telling me when the Champions League nights are here it's unbelievable. Celtic Park will be rocking and I'm really looking forward it. "With the fans behind us, it definitely spurs us on and gives us that little bit of edge." Sinclair made just two league starts for City, spending time on loan at West Brom and Aston Villa before switching permanently to Villa in 2015. "I wouldn't say I had a point to prove," said Sinclair. "I'm just enjoying football again. I've got a smile on my face and I'm scoring goals and we're winning games." The San Francisco Chronicle said Mr Baker died in his sleep at his home in New York on Thursday night. He initially designed an eight-colour flag in 1978 for the city's gay freedom day, the precursor to the modern pride parade. A candlelight vigil is planned for Friday evening in San Francisco. Screenwriter Dustin Lance Black tweeted: "Rainbows weep. Our world is far less colourful without you, my love. Gilbert Baker gave us the rainbow flag to unite us. Unite again." California State Senator Scott Weiner said Mr Baker's work "helped define the modern LGBT movement". "Rest in power, Gilbert," he said. Mr Baker's original flag had eight colours, each representing a different aspect of humanity: Read more: The rise of the rainbow flag It would later be reduced to six stripes, removing pink and indigo, and swapping blue for turquoise. Mr Baker said he wanted to convey the idea of diversity and inclusion, using "something from nature to represent that our sexuality is a human right". In 2015, New York's Museum of Modern Art acquired the flag for its design collection, calling it a "powerful design milestone". "I decided that we should have a flag, that a flag fit us as a symbol, that we are a people, a tribe if you will," Mr Baker told the Museum in an interview. "And flags are about proclaiming power, so it's very appropriate." A giant rainbow flag flies at the junction of Castro and Market streets in San Francisco, near Harvey Milk Plaza, which is named for America's first openly gay politician. A candlelit vigil is planned for 19:00 local time (02:00 GMT) beneath the flag. Officers examined an allegation of "a small number of assaults" at It's The Little Things Children's Day Nursery in Maghull in November 2015. The Crown Prosecution Service said no further action would be taken following the investigation also involving Sefton Safeguarding Services and Ofsted. Co-owner Scott McCubbin thanked parents and staff for their support. He said: "We're pleased to hear the police investigation has concluded and there will be no further action. "We'd like to thank our staff and parents for their loyalty throughout this difficult time." The case has been filed pending further information. No arrests were made. Mr Schlecker is accused of offences relating to the 2012 bankruptcy, and his family allegedly helped him. His shops sold personal hygiene goods and household articles. "The accusations are unfounded," he objected, via his lawyer in Stuttgart. He could get up to 10 years in jail. In Germany about 25,000 Schlecker staff lost their jobs, as did a similar number elsewhere in Europe, after the business filed for bankruptcy. According to Stuttgart prosecutors, Mr Schlecker knew that bankruptcy was looming and siphoned off more than €20m (£17m; $21m) in assets, which would otherwise have gone to creditors. He is accused of having made false statements about the company's financial situation. Mr Schlecker's lawyer argues that his client did not imagine that the business was facing collapse. The indictment includes the charges that Mr Schlecker spent €1m on a home renovation for his son Lars, a holiday for the children that cost tens of thousands of euros, and €800,000 in gifts for four grandchildren. Lars and his sister Meike ran a logistics firm, LDG, which allegedly became a conduit for some of the Schlecker company assets. His wife Christa is accused of having received tens of thousands of euros disguised as consultancy fees. The MSP says when she asked for her quotes on her sexuality not to be included in an interview with the Fabian Review, her request was ignored. The Fabian Society said it was "very sorry" she was upset by the interview. Meanwhile, Tory MP Sir Alan Duncan says his sexuality prevented him from getting a role in former Prime Minister Sir John Major's government. They were among a number of politicians speaking to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme about what it was like opening up about their sexuality. Lothian MSP Ms Dugdale who resigned as the leader of Scottish Labour on Tuesday, said she regretted not having "complete control" over coming out after quotes about her sexuality had been published in 2016. "It wasn't the first time I'd been asked [by journalists] about my sexuality. I would always answer honestly, and then I would say, 'I'd prefer you didn't use that... I don't think it matters.' "Up until that day, everybody had respected that, and then that one journalist had decided no, it was a story," she said. Ms Dugdale said the night before publication she had decided to "make some phone calls" to inform people of her sexuality before it had been revealed in the media. The Fabian Society said in a statement that the "wide-ranging and comprehensive on-the-record interview was conducted by an experienced, broadsheet journalist who followed usual journalistic practice". The article's author, Mary Riddell, said "at no point during the interview or afterwards did [Ms Dugdale] ask me not to publish her comments, which were recorded with her agreement. "Nor has she ever complained to me that her on-the-record comments relating to her relationship had been published." Ms Dugdale is in a relationship with SNP MSP Jenny Gilruth. The Labour politician said it was "fascinating" that public attention had focused on the couple's political divide, rather than their sexuality. "People weren't in any way bothered that it was two women together. "They were more intrigued it was two people from different political parties," she said, adding that this "definitely" showed how attitudes towards LGBT people had progressed. British voters returned a record number of LGBT MPs to Parliament in the last general election with 45 gay, lesbian or bi-sexual MPs elected in June - six more than in the previous parliament. Sir Alan Duncan, Conservative MP and Foreign Office Minister, said he came out as gay in 2002. "I thought, 'I'm just going to say it. Whatever happens, happens,'" "I'd reached the point, having been in Parliament for 10 years, where I thought I was senior enough not to be dismissed." Sir Alan has continued to serve as an MP since that day, but believes his sexuality did go on to cost him a role as a whip in Sir John Major's government. "I know I was blackballed from the whip's office," he said. "Not by him, but by [others], who thought it would be too high-risk." Sir Alan did face some hostility after he revealed his sexuality, with one article's headline reading: "I'm sorry Mr Duncan. if you're gay you are not a Tory." But, he said, by now, with a number of gay MPs in Parliament, the UK could lead the way on LGBT rights. "The UK can campaign [with countries without gay rights] and say, 'How dare you live in a country where you persecute gay people.'" SNP MP Joanna Cherry told the programme she had previously believed she would be unable to have a political career because of her sexuality. "When I realised I was gay and I saw what happened to [former Labour Party candidate] Peter Tatchell in the [1981] Bermondsey by-election, the terrible homophobia that he faced... I thought to myself a career in politics isn't going to be open to me. "So I chose instead to concentrate on my legal career." But in 2015 Ms Cherry stood for office, and was elected. She said "like most gay MPs", she had since received homophobic abuse on Twitter, but was "very proud to be out as a lesbian in politics". "I hope to be a role-model to younger women who can see you can be an out woman in public life," she said. In 1984 Lord Chris Smith became the UK's first MP to come out as gay in office, and in 2005 spoke publicly about being HIV positive. "Since then, I haven't regretted making that decision for a single moment," he told the Victoria Derbyshire programme. It would be another 13 years until there was another openly gay MP - Labour's Stephen Twigg - and Lord Smith said he had initially been "terrified" of the reaction, but had received many positive letters. "There was no social media in those days, thank goodness, but I did get letters from people from all around the country," he said. "A lot of them saying, 'Well done, congratulations,' but the ones that really meant the most to me were the ones that said, 'Thank you, it's made it easier for me.'" Watch the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel. Police said the blaze spread from a plastic garden shed to a house in Limefield Crescent, Bathgate, at about 23:15 on Friday. Two men, aged 32 and 29, and a 37-year-old woman, managed to get out of the house and call the emergency services. Police are treating the incident as wilful fire-raising. Det Con Craig O'Mara, from Livingston CID, said: "Thankfully none of the people in the house were injured but the fire has caused significant damage to the house as well as the shed in the garden. "At this stage the motive has still to be established. "Limefield Crescent is a residential area and although at this time of night there may not have been people out in the street, it is quite possible people in the houses around the area may have seen something out of the ordinary, someone they didn't recognise hanging about or indeed who started the fire." Jim Parsons, who plays lead character Sheldon, Johnny Galecki (Leonard) and Kaley Cuoco (Penny) all agreed to new three-year deals with Warner Bros TV. Actors Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar are still involved in negotiations but are expected to settle shortly. It was reported the stars were each seeking $1m (£600,000) per episode. Such a settlement would make The Big Bang Theory's cast members the highest paid actors on US television. Parsons, Galecki and Cuoco had been negotiating with the studio together, according to the Hollywood Reporter, which added that it was "likely" that a $1m per half-hour show deal had been sealed. CBS, the show's broadcaster, has yet to comment on the terms of the new settlements. The principal cast is expected to resume work on Wednesday, a week later than scheduled. It is unclear whether the delay will result in fewer episodes being recorded. Its main stars did not return to the studios for the first days of filming for the eighth series last Wednesday while their contracts were still under negotiation. $1.8m for Charlie Sheen - Two and a Half Men (2010) $1.7m for Ray Romano - Everybody Loves Raymond (2003) $1.6m for Kelsey Grammer - Frasier (2002) $1.25m for Tim Allen - Home Improvement (1998) $1m for the main cast of Friends (2002) and Big Bang Theory (2014) The comedy - which centres on a group of high-functioning science "geeks"- is the most-watched TV show in the US, with an average audience of 23.1 million in 2013-14. Earlier this year, the show was extended for a further three series, meaning it will now air until at least 2017. As well as its ratings success, the show has been a favourite at the Emmy Awards, with Parsons winning three times for his portrayal of socially challenged particle physics genius Dr Sheldon Cooper. The show has also been nominated for best comedy series but has yet to collect that accolade. Anthony Grainger, 36, was shot once in the chest during a Greater Manchester Police (GMP) operation in Culcheth, Cheshire, in March 2012. The inquiry into his death heard police believed he was preparing for an armed robbery. The police watchdog made 16 findings critical of GMP. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found the marksman may have committed a criminal offence. The case against the officer, referred to as Q9, was referred to the Crown Prosecution Service but it was decided not to proceed to trial. Inquiry counsel Jason Beer said prosecutors decided not to bring charges as a jury "would accept that the officer did believe his actions were necessary and that the level of force used in response to the threat as he perceived it to be was proportionate". The public inquiry at Liverpool Crown Court heard Mr Grainger, a father-of-two, was suspected of being about to take part in an armed robbery. But Mr Beer said the IPCC investigation uncovered serious failings by GMP and individual officers. The IPCC found the investigation, known as Operation Shire, relied heavily on "out of date" intelligence in relation to Mr Grainger and that briefings to officers contained "inaccurate information". David Totton, Robert Rimmer and Joseph Travers, all from Manchester, were arrested at the scene but later found not guilty of conspiracy to rob following a trial at Manchester Crown Court in September 2012. Sir Peter Fahy, who was the chief constable of Greater Manchester Police at the time of the shooting, had been charged with a health and safety offence. But the case collapsed after it was ruled that police evidence was so secret that it would not be in the public interest for it to be revealed in court. Mr Grainger's inquest was converted to a public inquiry in March 2016 by the then Home Secretary, Theresa May. The inquiry, chaired by Judge Thomas Teague, is expected to run until 21 April. Sudhir Choudhrie and his son Bhanu were arrested on Wednesday as part of an investigation into allegations of bribery in Indonesia and China. The Choudhrie family and their businesses have donated more than £1.5m to the Liberal Democrats since 2004. The men, who have been bailed without conditions, deny the allegations. They were arrested as part of the serious fraud office's investigation into allegations of bribery in Asia by Rolls-Royce, which makes engines for military and commercial jets and ships The Liberal Democrats confirmed they are aware of the SFO's investigation but say that whilst it is ongoing they cannot comment. The Choudhrie family businesses, C&C Alpha Group, C&C Business Solutions & Alpha Healthcare, have donated more than £1.3m over the last 10 years. This included donations in 2010, the general election year, totalling £415,000, which accounted for 8.5% of all the donations the Liberal Democrats received that year. Sudhir Choudhrie and Bhuna Choudhrie have personally given £185,000 to the party since 2004. Sudhir Choudhrie, 65, who is originally from India, lives in London and is reported to have arrived in the UK 10 years ago. Home Secretary Theresa May presented him with a lifetime achievement award at the Asian Business awards in March last year. In an interview after the ceremony, he said the secret of his success was ''hard work and nothing else but hard work''. The family's portfolio of companies include businesses that specialise in providing services for the elderly and mentally ill. The parent company of Alpha Hospitals Ltd is Harberry Investments which is registered in the British Virgin Islands, a tax haven. More than 700 travelling fans watched Vale suffer their fifth straight away loss to slip back into the bottom four. But Brown believes many fans are aware of the circumstances that he is working under, with his squad hit by injuries. "We can see they're frustrated, 100%," Brown told BBC Radio Stoke. "The ones who look into the true problems we have are very understanding of the situation," added the 40-year-old, who is still acting on a caretaker manager basis and awaiting a decision on his own future. The loss of defender Andre Bikey late on in Vale's defeat on Saturday, to become the club's ninth current injury casualty, was the sparking point to the fans' anger. But Brown is now ready to risk turning as his replacement to Remie Streete, who has been sidelined for three matches with a hamstring injury, when they host promoted Sheffield United on Good Friday. "We hope to have Remie for Friday," Brown added. "We certainly need him." Vale have only won three times in 2017 - but all three have been in the past month, in a run of good home form that has brought them 10 points out of a possible 12 at Vale Park. Their biggest home test to date comes on Friday against the Blades, one of Brown's old clubs and the likely League One champions. "Other teams are beating teams who are higher in the table," he said. "That's what we're going to have to do in the coming weeks. "We knew it was going to go all the way, but there are games we can still win. We need to be as positive as we can." Vale, in 21st, are one point behind three clubs - Bury, Shrewsbury Town and Gillingham. Brown's men have a game in hand, away at Walsall on 25 April, but Vale have the second worst away record in the division, having picked up just nine points in 20 games. They have lost last their past five away matches, having not won on their travels since beating MK Dons 1-0 on 9 October.

Scotland's 32 local authorities now have until 9 February to respond to the plan. Many councils have complained they are facing bigger cuts and savings targets than they had forecast. Inverclyde Council has said it will delay setting its budget until "uncertainty" over funding is resolved. This is the second time the Scottish government has delayed the deadline. On Tuesday, after talks between Finance Secretary John Swinney and senior councillors, they were given until 2 February to respond. In his December budget, Mr Swinney again extended the national council tax freeze which has been in place since 2007. The local authority umbrella group Cosla has warned pressures on council budgets are now so severe they face making "draconian cuts". Some councils are considering an increase in council tax in defiance of the Scottish government. But BBC Scotland understands that doing so would lead to a loss of central funding in three key areas: Inverclyde Council has said it will delay its budget meeting because of what it calls "uncertainty over future Scottish government funding". The council had been due to set out its plans on 18 February but the decision will now be delayed until March. Inverclyde said the amount it will get from the government is being cut by £6.6m - £4.2m more than it had expected. Council leader Stephen McCabe said: "We are working together with our trade union colleagues and all elected members through the cross-party members' budget working group to protect jobs and services as best we can. "This is proving extremely challenging in the face of the extra cut from the Scottish government." The attacker, who was dressed in a security uniform and reportedly made references to Allah, was shot dead by an off-duty police officer on Saturday. The so-called Islamic State claimed the man was one of its supporters, but the FBI said no link had been found. The attack happened in St Cloud, 70 miles (110km) out of Minneapolis. None of the victims suffered life threatening injuries. The FBI's Rick Thornton said it was too early to say whether the attack was linked to international terrorism. He said: "We are currently investigating this as a potential act of terrorism. And I do say potential. We do not at this point in time know whether the subject was in contact with, had connections with, was inspired by, a foreign terrorist organisation." The attacker asked at least one person if they were Muslim, according to St Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson. An off-duty police officer shot and killed the suspect, Mr Anderson said. The suspect, who has not been officially identified, was said to have been wearing the uniform of a private security firm when the attack occurred. The media arm of IS said in a statement that the attacker had carried out the operation "in response to calls to target the citizens of countries belonging to the crusader coalition". Speaking to the official Saudi Gazette newspaper, Abdul Latif Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh said he hoped a recruitment drive would take place soon. Saudi's religious police enforce the kingdom's strict Islamic laws, including dress and prayer times. Correspondents say the introduction of women could be a sign of the king's cautiously reformist agenda. Earlier this month, Mr Sheikh announced that he would curb the powers of the religious police, known as the "mutawa". He himself was appointed in January to deal with growing public anger about excessive behaviour by the force. Recently, a mobile phone clip of a religious policeman ordering a young woman to leave a mall because of her make-up went viral on the internet. There is no indication that the introduction of women into the religious police would necessarily make the rules any less strict, but it would boost the presence of women in public life. The sanctioned duties of the mutawa, officially known as the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, include preventing women driving, enforcing modest dress codes, policing bans on public entertainment and making sure all businesses close for prayers five times a day. Although Saudi Arabia remains a deeply conservative country, King Abdallah has recently introduced some cautious political and social reforms. In September 2011, he announced that women would be given the right to vote and run in future municipal elections. Mr Hollande presented Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos, Anthony Sadler and Briton Chris Norman with the Legion d'honneur at the Elysee Palace. Two other unnamed passengers will receive the honour at a later date. The passengers overpowered a suspected radical Islamist on a high-speed train bound for Paris on Friday. French authorities are questioning the suspect, 25-year-old Moroccan Ayoub El-Khazzani. France train shooting: Legion d'honneur recipients Viewpoint: New anti-terror approach needed Profile: Ayoub El-Khazzani What we know Mr Hollande pinned medals on the chests of the four passengers at a ceremony in Paris on Monday morning. "We are here to honour four men who, thanks to their bravery, managed to save lives," he said. "In the name of France, I would like to thank you. The whole world admires your bravery. It should be an example to all of us and inspire us. You put your lives at risk in order to defend freedom." Mr Hollande said: "A terrorist decided to commit an attack. He had enough weapons and ammunition to carry out real carnage, and that's what he would have done if you hadn't tackled him at a risk to your own lives. "You gave us a lesson in courage, in will, and thus in hope." He added: "Faced with the evil called terrorism there is a good, that is humanity. You are the incarnation of that." Analysis: BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris This was France's formal thank you to the men who set such an extraordinary example by their courage on Friday's train. The government here is making a big deal of the four heroes (plus their anonymous French helper) - and for good reason. If the jihadist threat is to remain with us - and nothing suggests that it will stop - the behaviour of individuals towards the imminence of violence could become a crucial factor. If more people are willing to risk their lives by standing up to fight, then that will shift the psychological battle in favour of our societies. Governments know this - so do all they can to honour the people who make a stand. Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel and the US Ambassador to France, Jane Hartley, attended the ceremony, along with the head of the French rail firm, SNCF. The Legion d'honneur was founded by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802. The award is divided into five categories and the passengers are receiving the chevalier, the most commonly awarded. A French-American passenger who was wounded in the attack, and a French citizen who first encountered the gunman and tried to overpower him, will receive the honour later. Mr Hollande named the French-American as 51-year-old Mark Moogalian, who is still in hospital. The other man wishes to remain anonymous. The president said he wished to pay tribute to both of them for their bravery. Mr Moogalian's wife told BFM TV her husband had seen the Frenchman tackle the suspect and had tried to intervene but was shot in the neck. The Americans spoke on Sunday about the incident. Mr Stone, an off-duty US airman, said he had just woken from a deep sleep when he saw the gunman and moved to restrain him. "I turned around and I saw he had what looked to be an AK-47 and it looked like it was jammed or wasn't working and he was trying to charge the weapon. "Alek just hit me on the shoulder and said 'Let's go' and ran down, tackled him. We hit the ground." Mr Stone was the first of the three to reach the gunman. He was cut in the neck and on the eyebrow, and his thumb was almost sliced off. Legion d'honneur Mr Stone also tended to Mr Moogalian, who had been shot in the neck. Mr Hollande said Mr Stone had "probably saved Mr Moogalian's life". Mr Sadler said: "The gunman would have been successful if my friend Spencer had not gotten up. I want that lesson to be learned, in times of terror like that, to please do something. Don't just stand by and watch." British grandfather Chris Norman, an IT expert, said he helped the Americans subdue the gunman because he thought he was "probably going to die anyway". He said after receiving his award on Monday: "I am amazed and I really appreciate this honour." Under French law, authorities have until Tuesday evening to question the suspect. Sophie David, a lawyer assigned to the case for Mr Khazzani, said the Moroccan was "dumbfounded that his act is being linked to terrorism" and that he had said he found the weapons in a Belgian park and wanted to rob passengers. Mr Khazzani's father, Mohamed el-Khazzani, told the Daily Telegraph in Algeciras, Spain, that his son was a "good boy" interested in "football and fishing". "I have no idea what he was thinking and I have not spoken to him for over a year," Mohamed el-Khazzani said. Ayoub el-Khazzani was flagged up to French authorities by Spanish counterparts in February 2014. He is reported to have lived in France, Spain, and Belgium and to have travelled to Syria. James Couper, 46, first found out that he had won during his lunch break at work the following day when a colleague read out the winning numbers. His winning numbers were five, 21, 23, 34, 43 and 45. Mr Couper is still deciding what to do with his winnings, but has promised his children Rachel, 20, and Daniel, 16, a trip to Walt Disney World in Florida. He said he thought his co-worker was joking as he read out the winning numbers. Mr Couper, who won £4,369,877, said: "We were just casually sitting chatting on our lunch break when my workmate came across the Lotto results in the newspaper. "I got my ticket out as he read them aloud and was so confused that they were all my numbers. "I thought that he'd gotten a hold of my ticket somehow and knew my numbers meaning it was all a joke, so I grabbed the newspaper to check it for myself. "When I saw them there in black and white and as clear as day, I just couldn't get my head around it. I was so confused and in utter disbelief." Dart Charge replaced toll booths six months ago, with drivers paying online. However, figures obtained by BBC Radio Kent showed that as many as one in 10 journeys have not been paid for. House of Commons leader Chris Grayling told MPs the scheme had "the potential to make a real difference but it needs to be got right". He said the issue should be raised with the Secretary of State during transport questions in the Commons next Thursday. Conservative MP for Dartford, Gareth Johnson, told him the administration of the Dart Charge had "exasperated" many of his constituents. Many motorists have complained of problems when trying to pay online, with some charged double. More than 100,000 vehicles use the crossing every day, with those not paying facing fines of up to £105. Dart Charge project director Nigel Gray has apologised for the "unanticipated high number of problems". "We're going to make mistakes. We want to reduce those to a minimum," he said. "We're not complacent and we need to improve. We accept that." Mr Gray also blamed the poor performance of the Dart Charge website on the fact that it depended on web developers in New York. In a YouTube video, Shakeel Begg and Haitham al-Haddad said there was no justification for holding the 47-year-old, who was captured in Syria. Mr Henning, a taxi driver from Eccles in Salford, was delivering aid when he was seized last December. Holding him captive is "totally haram [forbidden]" under Islamic law, the clerics said. The clerics say the video is aimed at IS militants in Iraq and Syria and its supporters in the UK. The video makes no mention of John Cantlie, a second British man being detained by IS. In the appeal, Mr Begg, imam at Lewisham Islamic Centre in south London, said he had campaigned for the release of Muslims from Belmarsh and Guantanamo Bay prisons. "For the same reasons today I stand with Alan Henning," he said. "I urge you to understand the nature of this prisoner you are holding - a man of peace." Mr al-Haddad, an imam from the Islamic Sharia Council, describes Mr Henning as an "innocent, humanitarian aid worker". "Executing this man is totally haram," he said. "Impermissible, prohibited according to sharia for a number of reasons. The imam appealed directly to IS fighters to "adhere to the sharia ruling on this matter". Both Mr Begg and Mr al-Haddad are controversial figures who have made headlines for promoting a highly conservative strand of Islam, says BBC home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani. A third Muslim cleric who appeared in the video appeal, Ustadh Abu Eesa - founder of the Prophetic Guidance institute in Manchester - said he personally vouched for Mr Henning. "It is not permissible whatsoever to harm a person who believes that he is safe among the people he is working with. "This safety must be honoured." He went on to warn IS that it risked "defacing" Islam by committing "the most grievous of crimes that can be committed among humans - the taking of innocent life". Earlier this week more than 100 British Muslim imams, organisations and individuals expressed their "horror and revulsion" at the "senseless murder" of another aid worker from the UK, David Haines, and the threats to Mr Henning. A video showing the killing of Mr Haines was recently released by IS. His death followed that of two US hostages which were also shown in videos. Video footage of Mr Henning - filmed before he was captured in Syria - has shown him describing his trips to the country. More than 300 people were wounded in the attacks, which were claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group. King Philippe, who was joined by Queen Mathilde and Prime Minister Charles Michel, led a minute's silence at Zaventem airport. Commemorations also took place at the Maelbeek underground station. Sixteen people died at each attack location. A memorial to the 22 March 2016 attacks is due to be officially unveiled in the Belgian capital's European quarter. The commemoration at the airport began with an emotional song from Eddy Van Calster, whose wife Fabienne Vansteenkiste, an airport worker, died in the attacks. German Lars Waetzmann was about to leave for New York with his wife Jennifer when the attacks happened. He was badly hurt but she died. "The unthinkable happened," he said at the commemoration. "What if we had left 10 minutes later? What if we had driven a bit slower? In a split second my world changed. But on that very moment I also started seeing the best in mankind." The suicide bombings were Belgium's worst terror attacks. A year on, Belgium is still on a high state of alert, with soldiers patrolling the streets. As well as the 32 victims of the bombings, three suicide bombers died on the 22 March 2016. Several other men, some identified on CCTV as having been accomplices of the attackers, were subsequently arrested. The gang has been linked to the November 2015 Paris attackers. Brussels suspect in Paris attacks case Academics from 11 institutions have set up a network to co-ordinate their Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (Seti). The English Astronomer Royal, Sir Martin Rees, will act as patron. The group is asking funding agencies for a small - about £1m a year - sum of money to support listening time on radio telescopes and for data analysis. It would also help pay for research that considered new ways to try to find aliens. Currently, most Seti work is done in the US and is funded largely through private donation. UK Seti Research Network (UKSRN) co-ordinator Alan Penny said there was important expertise in Britain keen to play its part. "If we had one part in 200 - half a percent of the money that goes into astronomy at the moment - we could make an amazing difference. We would become comparable with the American effort," the University of St Andrews researcher told BBC News. "I don't know whether [aliens] are out there, but I'm desperate to find out. It's quite possible that we're alone in the Universe. And think about the implications of that: if we're alone in the Universe then the whole purpose in the Universe is in us. If we're not alone, that's interesting in a very different way." The UKSRN held its first get-together at this week's National Astronomy Meeting. British researchers and facilities have had occasional involvement in Seti projects down the years. The most significant was the use in 1998-2003 of Jodrell bank, and its 76m Lovell radio telescope, in Project Phoenix. This was a search for signals from about 1,000 nearby stars. Organised - and paid for - by the Seti Institute in California, it ultimately found nothing. Jodrell has since been updated, linking it via fibre optics into a 217km-long array with six other telescopes across England. Known as eMerlin, this system would be a far more powerful tool to scan the skies for alien transmissions. And Jodrell's Tim O'Brien said Seti work could be done quite easily without disturbing mainstream science on the array. "You could do serendipitous searches. So if the telescopes were studying quasars, for example, we could piggy-back off that and analyse the data to look for a different type of signal - not the natural astrophysical signal that the quasar astronomer was interested in, but something in the noise that one might imagine could be associated with aliens. This approach would get you Seti research almost for free," the Jodrell associate director explained. "There are billions of planets out there. It would be remiss of us not to at least have half an ear open to any signals that might be being sent to us." In addition to eMerlin, the UK is also heavily involved in Lofar - a European Low Frequency Array that incorporates new digital techniques to survey wide areas of the sky all at once. And Jodrell itself is the management HQ for the forthcoming Square Kilometre Array, a giant next-generation radio observatory to be built in South Africa and Australia. It will have incredible power, not only to screen out interference from TV and phone signals here on Earth, but to resolve very faint signals at vast distances. It has been said the SKA could detect an airport radar on an alien world 50 light-years away. One attraction of Seti is the great potential for "citizen science" involvement. The Seti@Home screensaver has proved to be a big hit with the public, using downtime on home and business PCs to analyse radio telescope data for alien signals. The UK has a strong history in this area also with projects such as Galaxy Zoo, which sees citizen scientists help professional astronomers sift and classify the colossal numbers of images we now have of galaxy structures. Sir Martin said there was huge public interest in the Seti question and some modest state funding for the area would probably get wide support. "I'd put it this way: if you were to ask all the people coming out of a science fiction movie whether they'd be happy if some small fraction of the tax revenues from that movie were hypothecated to try to determine if any of what they'd just seen was for real, I'm sure most would say 'yes'," he told BBC News. The issue is whether UK astronomy, currently operating under very tight fiscal constraints, can afford any spare cash for a field of endeavour that has completely unknown outcomes. Sheffield University's Paul Crowther doubted the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), the main funders of UK astronomy, would be able to support UKSRN. "Continued flat-cash science budget awards are constantly eroding STFC's buying powers, causing the UK to withdraw from existing productive facilities such as the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. "[British astronomy] faces the prospect of a reduced volume of research grants, and participation in future high-impact facilities [eg the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope] is threatened. I would be shocked if STFC's advisory panels rated the support of UKSRN higher than such scientifically compelling competition." Dr Penny argued Seti could make a strong case, and that his group would try to get research council backing. "The human race wants to explore, wants to find things out, and if we stop trying we're on the road to decay," he said. The attack took place in Cleveland Road, Huddersfield on Monday 30 May. The 38-year-old man is recovering at home from "significant leg injuries" and "did what he could to protect his son", said West Yorkshire Police. The force has appealed for any information and particularly CCTV images from the area about the attack. For more on this and other West Yorkshire stories The victim, speaking anonymously told BBC Radio Leeds: "When I have dreams, it is very bad I can see myself dragging under the car, it was really awful. I still have nightmares." "I saw my blood, and blood everywhere my clothes were shredded and I hadn't done anything to the guy." The victim was driving the car with his son Mohammed in the back seat towards the junction with Halifax Road in the town's suburb of Marsh when he saw a man in the middle of the road. Mohammed's father said he tooted the horn at him and asked him to get on the pavement for his safety. The suspect hit a window on the car and smashed it, dragged the driver out and reversed the car despite Mohammed's father grabbing the steering wheel. The car was then driven over him injuring both legs and his ribs and he was dragged a short distance under the car, causing injuries to his face, until the car hit a wall. The attacker was then said to have got out of the car and stood on the victim's leg as he ran ran off. Mohammed, who was frightened but unhurt during the attack, said: "I was stunned someone would do that to my dad. "It made me feel grateful for my parents, I could have lost my dad and am really lucky I haven't." The suspect is described as black, in his 30s, with a muscular build, his face has a pointed jaw and stubble, said police. Det Con Mick Cummings said although the incident only lasted about 30 seconds it was "very frightening" but said attacks with "this level of violence don't occur very often". Many black Americans are warned from a very young age about how to interact with police when behind the wheel. Some of the high-profile incidents that have ignited a national debate about policing came about from a traffic stop. Philando Castile was shot four times in his car in Minnesota, while last year Sandra Bland died in police custody after being pulled over. Many black drivers feel they are targeted but supporters of police say that situations tend to escalate when drivers do not obey police commands. Department of Justice statistics in 2011 show that more black drivers (12.8%) are pulled over than white (9.8%) or Hispanic (10.4%). Two black men give their experience, and a police officer responds. Dominique Purdy was born and raised in Los Angeles, a city that is no stranger to police violence. Being treated poorly by police officers is something he says he deals with nearly every day. He took that daily struggle and put it on camera with the movie Driving While Black, a dark comedy, which he debuted last year. Recent media attention on police brutality against black Americans did not push Purdy to make a movie. It had been in his head for years. "The way the police treat black people isn't going to change overnight so in the meantime we've got to figure out ways to deal with cops when we are pulled over that doesn't get us shot," he told the BBC. He will be driving around Los Angeles, playing music, like everyone else around him - but if a cop comes around, he immediately turns his music down. "I don't even like to look at police," he said. "I gotta turn my music down and act like I'm not having a good time. I'm so used to it, it's not really that crazy to me. I gotta get up and brush my teeth, that's what it is, as normal as that." Jamie Campbell is an assistant dean with the business school at Penn State University, located in State College, Pennsylvania. The school is a sprawling, 40,000 student university that is largely white. According to statistics for enrolment university-wide in 2015-16, the campus is nearly 70% white and only six percent black. The unique fear of driving while black has been on Mr Campbell's mind since he was a young man driving around the country recruiting for a Southern college. "My dad told me when I was driving to be extra careful. It goes back to how officers will look at you as an African American driving," he said. He still thinks about it daily-the nervousness, the concern, what he calls the "very real" fear. Black Americans like himself always have to make sure they are not doing anything to attract attention, he said. When he watches news coverage of cases of black Americans dying after being pulled over by police, he said he thinks it could have been him, his wife, his daughter or one of his cousins. Mr Campbell thinks one solution is to get more officers of colour on police forces. He cited statistics in Pennsylvania- of all the state troopers, only three percent are black. His parents grew up with the idea that the police could "get them" and nothing would happen as a result. When he was growing up, he knew police aggression was a possibility, but did not expect it. He worries things will feel for his children like they did for his own parents. "If things don't change, it's going to be that way." Sergeant Sean Whitcomb, public affairs director for the Seattle Police Department, said the notion that black people need to be afraid while driving has been in the public consciousness for a long time. "We are fully aware of the disproportionality within the criminal justice system. We understand there is an incredible ripple effect when someone is incarcerated… These are things we fully acknowledge and accept as a challenge in our country," he told the BBC. In Seattle, policing tactics are undergoing a big change. After an officer-involved shooting in 2010 of a Native American man, the Department of Justice recommended a consent decree for the department after finding it "engaged in a pattern or practice of excessive force" violating constitutional law. In 2012, Seattle officers were no longer allowed to stop a pedestrian or driver unless they have documented facts that they suspect a crime is about to happen. Other new policies include a use of force policy and a "bias-free" policing policy. "We just want to get to the truth of the matter. You look at those shootings, other incidents, and from the police side when there's no supporting evidence it creates serious issues of trust in regards to our profession, that will erode legitimacy." The department is in the process of implementing a permanent body camera programme, and Mr Whitcomb said he feels they have a "moral obligation" to use them. "The challenge is to work harder and build trust and build towards increasing our legitimacy in the African American community, or any community that has a concern." The ex-Netherlands captain, 66, leaves only a day after the club suffered a 2-0 defeat by Fath Union Sport in the Moroccan FA Cup semi-final. On its website the club said it sacked Krol because of "his poor selection, results and decisions, and strained relationship with the players". It was a fifth job in north Africa over the last two years for Krol. In 2013 he took CS Sfaxien of Tunisia to the African Confederation Cup title and was then briefly caretaker coach of Tunisia when they lost in the 2014 World Cup qualifying play-offs to Cameroon. He followed that with brief spells at Esperance in Tunisia and Al Ahli Tripoli of Libya. Krol led Egyptian side Zamalek to victory in the Egypt Cup in 2008 and won the South African championship with Orlando Pirates in 2011. The National Audit Office (NAO) said the £3.2bn scheme was scheduled to be running at full capacity by 2014 but will not now do so until 2019. The Ascent consortium was awarded the 25-year contract in 2008 in a bid to reduce costs and training times. Ministers said early difficulties with the programme had been overcome. The NAO said there was still "much to do" to achieve the planned benefits. The watchdog found that the early years of the contract were affected by "significant concerns" about the performance of Ascent, a consortium of Lockheed Martin and Babcock. The MoD had managed to recover only £308,000 from Ascent for its failure to meet its responsibilities out of more than £143m spent so far. The NAO said the delays were in part due to "substantial" reductions in the numbers of aircrew undergoing training, because of defence cuts, resulting in the value of the contract being more than halved from £6.8bn. Ascent's performance was considered by NAO to have improved since 2012 after the MoD raised concerns with shareholders. Amyas Morse, head of the NAO, said: "The department needs to understand better actual training performance and what affects performance before it can secure significant improvements from Ascent. "Otherwise, there is a real risk that moving to the new training will affect the military's ability to train the right number of aircrew at the right time." Defence procurement minister Philip Dunne said: "The programme was thoroughly overhauled in 2012 and early implementation issues are now behind us. "We are now on a much firmer footing and moving forward to deliver flight training for aircrew, more rapidly and efficiently, with greater flexibility to adapt to new platforms."

The 42-year-old sailed to the Cape of Good Hope from the equator in a record eight days, 15 hours and 56 minutes. Thomson is aiming to be the first British skipper to win the solo non-stop round-the-world race. Averaging 20 knots since setting off on 6 November, he has led the fleet since 12 November. Earlier in the race Gosport-based Thomson became the fastest man to cross the equator but said the record was unimportant. With 18 days passed since the race began, the skippers still have to reach Cape Leewin in Australia and Cape Horn at the bottom of South America before turning north and sailing through the Atlantic on the way to the finish line in western France. The Vendee Globe is renowned for being one of the most gruelling sporting challenges, with only 71 of 138 sailors to date have finished since the first race in 1989. Thomson finished third in the previous staging of the race in 2012-13, completing the race in 80 days, 19 hours and 23 minutes, just over one day behind winner Francois Gabart. Labour's Carwyn Jones was expected to be re-appointed following Thursday's election. But Plaid Cymru nominated its leader Leanne Wood, and won the backing of the Tories and UKIP, while Mr Jones won the support of sole Liberal Democrat Kirsty Williams and his own party. With the vote tied at 29-29, the Senedd was adjourned to a later date. Labour accused Plaid of doing a deal with the Conservatives and UKIP, something Plaid denied. Despite losing one seat at the assembly election, Mr Jones had said he expected to form a minority Labour government with 29 of the assembly's 60 members. On Friday, he spoke of having discussions with Plaid Cymru and Ms Williams to decide the way forward, but was not seeking any formal coalition. Mr Jones remains first minister until assembly members vote to re-appoint or replace him. Plaid AM Rhun ap Iorwerth said: "The people of Wales decided by a narrow margin in terms of the number of seats, but by a hefty margin in terms of the popular vote, that they didn't want Labour to have majority control in the National Assembly for Wales. "We of course respected the right of Labour to have a first crack at forming a stable government, if you like, of seeking a majority. "In a meeting this week Leanne Wood told Carwyn Jones to have a bit more time, don't force this vote today, have a bit more time in order to try to find a consensus, reflecting on the fact that they are in a minority. "They decided not to take that opportunity. We put Leanne Wood's name up - why wouldn't we?" Mr ap Iorwerth added that the assembly was "giving the signal... that this is an assembly without one party having a majority". Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said Labour had "no divine right" to assume Mr Jones would be elected first minister after its share of the vote fell. "It is for new assembly members to explore, and discuss, the best way forward for the Welsh nation, which has for too long fallen behind the rest of the UK," he said. "Certainly, I sense an appetite for a new kind of collaborative Welsh politics, and would welcome further discussions to build on those which led to today's vote." A senior UKIP source, who was pleased with the result, said the party wanted "to dent the level of smugness within the Labour party". Meanwhile UKIP group leader Neil Hamilton said the party was approached by Plaid Cymru on Monday to back Leanne Wood in the vote. Reacting for Labour, Blaenau Gwent AM Alun Davies said: "I think Plaid Cymru have got to explain to the voters... why, less than a week after the election, they have now done a deal with the Conservative Party and with UKIP". He said his party had a "clear mandate" to govern. "People expected us to be given the right to form a government, and for the other parties to hold us to account on the way we perform in office," he said. But Plaid's Mr ap Iorwerth said: "At no point did we offer anything, or consider offering anything, to UKIP or the Tories. They were simply informed of our intention to nominate Leanne as first minister." Commenting on her decision to back Mr Jones, Lib Dem AM Kirsty Williams said: "I was not re-elected into the National Assembly to support a ragtag coalition made up of UKIP assembly members who at the moment can't even agree with each other. "That is not my politics and not something I will even contemplate. "I am disappointed that Plaid seem to think that is a viable option. "The reality that we have to face is that Labour have 29 assembly members. "It is therefore clear that they have the strongest mandate from the people of Wales." AMs have 28 days following the election to decide on a first minister, which would mean a deadline of 2 June. If there is no agreement, the UK government's Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns must call a fresh election. Earlier on Wednesday, Plaid Cymru AM Elin Jones was elected as the new presiding officer, defeating party colleague Lord Elis-Thomas. This is about Plaid Cymru flexing its muscles and sending out a signal, following the accusations that Labour had had it easy in the previous five years in the assembly. Labour says it is a stunt, with Plaid Cymru doing deals with the Conservatives and UKIP. Plaid's riposte is that Labour has been arrogant in the run up to Wednesday's events, with Carwyn Jones offering nothing clear on his plans for government. Labour AMs have been walking around with faces like thunder and, although one Plaid Cymru AM has said it was not about giving them "a bloody nose", it has created bad blood. Mr Gray, 25, died in April 2015 a week after sustaining a spinal injury while in the back of a police van. Garrett Miller, William Porter and Alicia White were due to face charges including assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. The move means there will be no convictions in the case. Prosecutors dropped the charges after earlier trials of three other police officers had ended in acquittals. They announced the move at a pre-trial hearing for Mr Miller on Wednesday. But speaking afterwards, State Attorney Marilyn Mosby defended her decision to prosecute, saying she stood by her belief that Mr Gray's death was a homicide. "We do not believe that Freddie Gray killed himself," she said. Freddie Gray's death in police custody - what we know Baltimore's dual identity explains unrest A post-mortem report found that Mr Gray sustained his injury by slamming into a van wall during the ride. He was handcuffed but not restrained with a seatbelt. His death sparked civil unrest in Baltimore, and became part of a wider national debate on police brutality and the death of unarmed black men at the hands of police. Brian Rice, aged 41: Mr Rice was one of the three officers who first encountered Gray while on a bicycle patrol and participated in the initial arrest. He was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second degree assault and misconduct in office, among other charges. His trial began on 7 July but he was found not guilty on all counts on 18 July. Edward Nero, 29: Another one of the three bicycle patrol officers who first encountered Gray. Mr Nero was charged with second degree assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. He went to trial but was found not guilty on all counts in May. Garrett Miller, 26: The third of the three officers who first encountered Gray. Mr Miller was charged with second degree assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. His trial was due to begin on 27 July but all charges against him were dropped the same day. William Porter, 25: Became involved after the initial arrest. Prosecutors said Mr Porter was asked twice by Gray for medical assistance but failed to summon any. Mr Porter was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second degree assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. After his first trial ended in a mistrial in December, he was put on trial again last month but the charges were dropped. Alicia White, 30: Ms White was accused by the prosecution of failing to call for medical assistance for Gray when he was in obvious distress. She was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second degree assault and misconduct in office. Her trial was due to begin in October but all charges against her have been dropped. Caesar Goodson Jr, 45: Mr Goodson was the driver of the van in which Gray was held. He was charged with second-degree "depraved-heart" murder and manslaughter by vehicle, among other charges. He went on trial in June but was found not guilty on all charges. Prosecutors had said Mr Miller illegally arrested Freddie Gray after he ran away from a bike patrol officer and was criminally negligent for failing to buckle him into a seatbelt or call a medic when he indicated he wanted to go to a hospital. Mr Miller, who had testified against colleagues in previous trials, was due to stand trial first, while Mr Porter was to face a retrial in September and Ms White a trial in October. Earlier this month, Lieutenant Brian Rice was cleared by Judge Barry Williams of involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office. "A mere error in judgment is not enough to show corruption," Judge Williams said in a statement. In June, officer Caesar Goodson - who drove the van in which Mr Gray rode before he died - was cleared on a second-degree "depraved heart" murder charge, the most serious charge sought against the six officers. Prosecutors had argued Mr Goodson intentionally gave Mr Gray a "rough ride" while transporting him to the police station but Judge Williams said they had not proved that he "failed corruptly" in his job rather than just making a mistake. In May, Judge Williams also cleared Edward Nero of second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in office. Last year a jury failed to reach a verdict in the case of Mr Porter. During his trial, prosecutors said he ignored Mr Gray's pleas for medical help and described the van as a "coffin on wheels". Scottish Secretary David Mundell wrote on his personal website that it was time to "acknowledge in public as well as in private, who I am". The 53-year-old MP said he hoped that coming out would not change anything about how he was treated. Mr Mundell is MP for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale. He is believed to be the first openly-gay Conservative cabinet minister. A Downing Street spokesman said the prime minister was "very pleased" by Mr Mundell's "very personal statement" and that it was "very encouraging to see". Mr Mundell, who has three grown-up children, wrote in his online post: "New Year, new start! I have already set out my political priorities for the year and now I am setting out my personal one. "Having taken one of the most important decisions of my life and resolved to come out as gay in 2016, I just want to get on with it, and now, just like that, I have said it." Mr Mundell, who is Scotland's only Tory MP, said that he had viewed the prospect of coming out as being "harder than standing for election, speaking in the House of Commons or being cross-examined on television". The MP said he "still cannot rationalise such feelings", but said they were "not uncommon, particularly in men of my age". Mr Mundell added: "Of course, everybody who gets to this point, has had their own journey. I have certainly been on mine - conflicting emotions, of doubts and fears, but ultimately positive and uplifting, with an unstoppable direction of travel. "Over time, I came to understand that, for me, the only way to be truly happy on a personal level is to acknowledge in public as well as in private, who I am." He said he could not have had more love and support from his family and friends, adding: "I don't know what the wider reaction will be, but I know it's the right thing for me to do". Mr Mundell's announcement brings the number of openly-gay MPs in the House of Commons to 33 - the highest proportion of any parliament in the world, according to a study by US academics - and means there are as many on the Tory as the Labour benches (13). Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson, who is also openly gay, tweeted that she was "really proud of my friend David". She added: "I know that David didn't make today's statement lightly, but approached it in his typically thoughtful and positive manner. "He has my wholehearted support, as well as the support of the wider Scottish Conservative family." Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: "Good on you, David. Well done & best wishes." Colin Macfarlane, director of Stonewall Scotland, said: "Having high profile people across all areas of society, from politics to sport, is crucial to creating inclusive environments and helping ensure the fair treatment of lesbian, gay, bi and trans people at work, at home and in their communities. "Role models like David Mundell also inspire young lesbian, gay, bi and trans people by letting them know they are not alone and that they too can feel proud of their identity." Arlene Foster said that perhaps there should be a Polish language act instead because more people in Northern Ireland spoke Polish than Irish. Alluding to Sinn Féin demands, she told a party event: "If you feed a crocodile it will keep coming back for more." Mrs Foster said she was not prepared to "reward bad behaviour, and to capitulate to manufactured demands". The introduction of an Irish language act is a key demand of Sinn Féin going into the assembly election. Based on the 2011 Census, which asked people about the languages they knew and used (for Northern Ireland population over the age of three): Any act would guarantee Irish was given the same official status as English. That would lead to measures like: Asked for a response to Mrs Foster's "feed the crocodile" remark, Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams replied: "See you later, alligator". 'Rewriting the past' The former first minister said the 2 March election was "about republicans trying to re-write the past. "Even this past week we have seen the attempts to put our soldiers and our police officers in the dock while those who maimed and murdered over the past fifty years walk free. "Let me be clear, so long as I am the leader of the largest political party in Northern Ireland, that is not going to be allowed to happen". She said Michelle O'Neill, Sinn Féin's new northern leader, had been "hand-picked by Gerry Adams to do his bidding in Northern Ireland". On the subject of the botched Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, which may cost NI taxpayers as much as £490m, the DUP leader said it was "not the cause, but it did become the excuse for this election". "I know that the investigation into the RHI scheme will clear my name," she said. Mrs Foster was enterprise minister when the scheme was set up in 2012; it was intended to increase the creation of heat from renewable sources. However, businesses have been receiving more in subsidies than they are paying for renewable fuel and the scheme became highly oversubscribed. In a statement, the UUP leader Mike Nesbitt said: "The DUP are engaged in a massive game of distraction. "This is the same rhetoric which they sold to the electorate last May and look where we are now. "It is the last refuge of a party leaving behind a legacy of incompetence and sleaze. "The DUP and Sinn Féin have been in government for ten years and people are still being called back to the trenches. We want partnership government." SDLP assembly candidate Patsy McGlone also commented: "The Irish language belongs to no party, it belongs to no community, it is a communal element of our rich cultural inheritance and that cannot be diminished by anyone. "Today's comments, rooted in the politics of division and hate stand in stark contrast to the opportunity to embrace cooperation and compromise for the common good that this election offers. "Whatever happens, at the far side of the election, the need for statutory protection for Irish language speakers is all the more important." Alliance Party leader Naomi Long told BBC News NI she did not think that Mrs Foster's language was appropriate for someone "who is going to the electorate to ask to be the leader of an entire community, and that is what the first minister's job is". Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament's chief Brexit negotiator, said any "transitional arrangement" should have a strict time limit. A House of Lords report has warned of significant tariffs and other barriers to trade unless one is adopted. And Chancellor Philip Hammond has said an interim arrangement may be needed. But other ministers have reportedly expressed reservations in private and ex-UKIP leader Nigel Farage told the BBC he feared talk of interim deals was part of "backsliding" and attempts to "delay" the Brexit process. The UK is scheduled to begin official negotiations on the terms of its exit from the EU by the end of March, when Prime Minister Theresa May has said she will trigger Article 50. From that moment, the rules say that Britain will have two years to agree a deal before it leaves the EU. But getting an agreement on Britain's future trade with the EU may take much longer. Ministers have hinted they could agree some kind of transitional process to avoid a shock to the economy, with Mr Hammond telling MPs on Monday that this could go some way to ensuring a "smoother transition". Speaking on BBC Radio 4's The World at One, Mr Verhofstadt said a transitional deal was "certainly possible". But he warned: "I have seen many times in politics that a so-called transitional agreement becomes an eternal, a definitive, agreement - that has to be avoided." In a new report on the options for trade after Brexit, the House of Lords EU external affairs committee said the government should set out a clear plan at the start of negotiations, including specific proposals for what form any transitional deal could take. The peers said that staying in the EU customs union - a move opposed by many Conservative MPs - could be an important element of such a deal. And they warned that if there were no transition, the UK would have to rely on World Trade Organization rules for its trading arrangements, which would mean British firms facing significant tariffs and other barriers to trade. BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said Downing Street was insisting a transitional deal would not be part of a "softening up process" to prepare people for the UK being "entangled" with the EU for years to come. He added that there was a "tension" between ministers who want to leave the EU first before negotiating, and those like Mr Hammond who think this would be "profoundly risky". Former Conservative minister Anna Soubry told BBC Radio 4's Today programme a transitional arrangement would offer "real benefits", saying the alternative would involve the UK "dropping off the cliff edge". She said she and her fellow Remain campaigners accepted the Brexit vote and that it was time for both sides to "come together". Her fellow Conservative Peter Lilley was more cautious about the prospects of a transitional deal, saying that negotiating one could take as long as reaching a permanent agreement. Mr Lilley said there was "no reason" the UK could not secure a free trade arrangement with the EU without having to continue with the free movement of people. Brexit minister David Jones was asked about the possibility of a transitional arrangement as he arrived at an EU summit in Brussels. "What we've always said is that we don't want to have a disruptive end to Britain's participation in the EU," he said, adding that a "smooth withdrawal" was the government's goal. But the Leave Means Leave campaign said: "A transitional deal is absolutely unnecessary and poses a huge threat to the UK economy." It said such an arrangement would involve the UK paying "extortionate sums of money to the EU" and would cause "serious uncertainty". The government has committed itself to publishing some form of plan before it notifies the EU of its intention to leave but it is unclear how detailed this will be. Business has expressed concerns about the impact of a "cliff-edge" departure from the EU, leading to speculation about temporary measures to soften the blow - including paying to retain tariff-free access to the single market. In a speech at Bloomberg in London, shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer said Labour could amend any bill giving the government authority to trigger Article 50 in order to avoid a so-called "hard Brexit" involving quitting the EU single market. He insisted this could be done without delaying the Brexit process. Sir Keir said Labour wanted to see tariff-free trade for UK businesses, no new "bureaucratic burdens", protection for the competitiveness of the services and manufacturing sectors and for workplace protections to be maintained. He also said Labour should not fall into the "trap" of trying to "frustrate" Brexit, saying the stance adopted by the Liberal Democrats - who are promising a second referendum on the terms of the exit package - "cannot heal the rift in our society". In response, the Conservatives said Labour supported the government's Brexit timetable in public, "but behind closed doors they talk about second referendums and now seek to attach conditions and tie the government's hands". The table-topping Lilywhites held a 0-4 to 0-3 lead after a defensive first half in a rain-lashed Pairc Esler. Slattery netted just 90 seconds after coming on as a half-time substitute and he fired in a second goal to give Kildare a six-point cushion. Down stay fifth with two wins and three defeats. There was little to entertain the Newry crowd in the first half although Down went close to an early goal when Ryan Johnston's shot was saved by Mark Donnellan. The sides exchanged the opening points with Barry O'Hagan firing over two for the hosts while Donnellan and Tommy Moolick were the Kildare scorers. Kevin Feely's double gave Kildare a 0-4 to 0-2 lead before Darragh O'Hanlon halved the gap before the half-time whistle. Feely tagged on the first point of the second half and he set up Slattery to hit the Down net after a poor kick-out. Caolan Mooney replied with two Down points and Kevin McKernan added another after Feely registered his fourth score of the evening. Slattery banged in his second goal past keeper Michael Cunningham to leave Kildare 2-6 to 1-6 in front. The game fizzled out as a contest and Down finished with 13 men after black cards for Alan Davidson and Jerome Johnston when all their susbstitutes had been used.

A spokeswoman said they are providing support to guests, 26 of whom have been affected by the illness. No one needed hospital treatment. Cardiff council said environmental health officers have confirmed the virus is gastroenteritis. The hotel is contacting guests who are due to arrive over the next few days to help them make other arrangements. No further information can be given until the investigation has been completed, the spokeswoman added. The council were notified on Wednesday that guests were falling ill at the hotel. "The officers acted immediately, visited the hotel and undertook an inspection, including interviewing staff and guests and we can confirm a bout of gastroenteritis," a spokesman said. "We are working closely with the management, who have been very helpful and the situation is being contained." County's Marcus Fraser headed off the crossbar before Craig Curran gave the visitors the lead with a curled a left-foot shot. But Doolan rifled in an equaliser with a powerful shot, his 100th goal for Partick Thistle. And he added to that tally when he slipped between two defenders and fired past goalkeeper Scott Fox. Thistle had been in fine form before the recent international break, their unbeaten league run extending to five games. But aside from a couple of slick passing moves, their play was sluggish in the first period, with Chris Erskine typifying that. Erskine is frequently Thistle's classiest operator but he was off the boil against County, as his passes too often ran astray, though he was unfortunate to see his best effort well saved by Fox. As fate would have it, no sooner had he been substituted than Doolan swivelled on the edge of the box to lash in his 100th goal for the club. Media playback is not supported on this device If Erskine is generally Thistle's creator-in-chief, no-one has proved a more reliable goal-getter than the industrious Doolan. With Thistle now very much in the ascendancy, Liam Lindsay - also good for a goal - was denied twice in quick succession, firstly by Fox and then a brave block as the home side looked for the winner. When it did materialise, it was little surprise that Doolan again provided the clinical finish. A delightful one-two on the edge of the box with Adam Barton put the striker in on goal and he showed terrific poise to fire past Fox for the second time. Jim McIntyre, in the County dugout, must have wondered how his side had allowed their stranglehold on the game to slip away. Although their record coming into the game was wretched - just one win in eight - they enjoyed marginally the better of a poor first half. They might have taken the lead on the stroke of half-time but Fraser, having made a marauding run up field from centre-back, ultimately headed against the crossbar. They were good value for the opening goal though and it was Curran who grabbed it after Thistle had failed to deal with a Martin Woods cutback. But inexplicably they took their foot off the gas and slumped to another poor result, which does nothing for their hopes of steering clear of a relegation battle. Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald: "I was his (Kris Doolan's) team-mate as well, he's one of the hardest working players and a real team player. Media playback is not supported on this device "Any of our young lads could pick Kris as a role model. He doesn't get the credit he deserves because he's at a club like Partick Thistle but he's very much appreciated with the fans and everybody at the club. "We didn't really get going but we were much better in the second half. We showed great character to come back and see the game out. We know the run we've got coming up, we've got Celtic, Motherwell and Rangers coming up, but we'll go into these games with confidence." Ross County manager Jim McIntyre: "I was pleased with the way we approached the game and we were the better team in the first half. I thought the second half was quite even, but the free-kick which leads to the first goal is not a free-kick and he's got to give a penalty when Liam Lindsay has grabbed Alex Schalk's hand and spun him, so them two decisions went against us. "The second goal is atrocious from our point of view. We've put so much into the game but come away with nothing, and that's killed our top six hopes." Match ends, Partick Thistle 2, Ross County 1.

Poland's Katarzyna Niewiadoma did enough to retain her overall lead. Barnes is joint third alongside sister Hannah Barnes, one minute and 46 seconds off the pace. Alice, 21, is relishing the chance to race alongside her older sister. "There is not really any sibling rivalry between us," she said. "Everybody thinks there should be, but we just race the events and try and get the best results we can."

He will leave his role with the Premier League club in the summer to join Gareth Southgate's team full-time. "If we want to be successful then we have to employ the best people and for me, Steve is the best," said Southgate. Holland has worked as Southgate's assistant since 2013 - first with England Under-21s and more recently with the senior squad, following Sam Allardyce's departure as boss in September. "We have worked very closely for three years and I have upmost respect for the way that he works, his professionalism and the detail of his preparation," added Southgate, who was made permanent England manager in November. "I'd like to thank Chelsea for allowing Steve to join up with us over the last three years. "It's great that Steve is able to work with us on the March camp but getting him on a full-time basis is very important and I was more than prepared to wait until May for that to happen." Holland, who managed Crewe from 2007 to 2008, joined Chelsea in 2011. He was part of the Blues' backroom team for their Champions League and FA Cup double in 2012, the Europa League win in 2013 and the Premier League and League Cup double in 2015.

There will be live text commentary of Der Klassiker on the BBC Sport website (Saturday, 17:30 GMT kick-off). Raymond Moore said the women's game "rides on the coat-tails" of the men and that Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal have "carried this sport". Moore, 69, has since apologised. But Navratilova, an 18-time Grand Slam winner, says women may not want to play at Indian Wells if he stays in charge. Tom Fordyce: Equal pay is a myth - and a minefield The 59-year said the views of South African Moore were "really disheartening", "extremely prejudiced" and "very old-fashioned". Media playback is not supported on this device "We have made it this far on our own, without help from male players, and will continue to do so in the future," Navratilova added. "It would be hard to imagine any women to want to go and play at Indian Wells if Moore stays as the tournament director." Navratilova was also disappointed by comments from world number one Novak Djokovic, who said he believes men should be awarded more prize money than women because it was more popular. Speaking after his straight-sets win over Milos Raonic in the men's final at Indian Wells, the Serb said women deserve the money they get, but men should fight for more because their game attracts more viewers. "Novak Djokovic, as much as I love him, clearly doesn't understand why, when women and men play in combined tournaments, they must be paid equally," Navratilova said. "I thought we settled that issue years ago." World number one Serena Williams said Moore's statement was "offensive", calling it "mistaken and very, very, very inaccurate". Media playback is not supported on this device There has been equal prize money in all four majors - the Australian Open, US Open, French Open and Wimbledon - since 2007, as well as at combined Masters events, such as Indian Wells and Miami. But female players are paid significantly less at women-only events when compared with similar-sized men's tournaments. The United States Tennis Association (USTA) said player equality is a "bedrock" principle and has been extremely critical of Moore. "There is no place in this sport for antiquated, sexist or uninformed ideologies," read a statement from Katrina Adams, who is the USTA's chairman, chief executive and president. She added that Moore's remarks "in no way reflect the beliefs of the vast majority of those in the tennis world". Chris Kermode, chief executive of the Association of Tennis Professionals, called Moore's comments "disparaging" and said they had been "made in poor taste". Former British Davis Cup captain David Lloyd backed Djokovic's assertion that the men's game was more popular than the women's right now but said the opposite had been true in the past. Lloyd said the women's game had been "better" to watch than the men's when Steffi Graf and Monica Seles were at their peak in the early 1990s. As a result, the public had been willing to pay more to see them play. "It's supply and demand and it could swing back in the future," he said.

But after being confined to their London house to protect his identity, his wife, Araceli, threatened to go to the Spanish embassy in June 1943. She said she would tell all about one of Britain's top double agents unless allowed to visit her mother. The family was based in Harrow, north-west London, where Mr Pujol - codenamed Agent Garbo - had a network of sub-agents sending false intelligence reports to his German spymasters. His feedback of false information to the Nazis diverted them away from the scene of the actual D-Day landings on 6 June 1944. Mrs Pujol not only struggled to cope with the pressure of the family's double life but also became homesick. She was missing Spanish food and became upset at her husband being absent so often. Fears that the Pujol family would be recognised on the streets of London, led to Mrs Pujol being frustrated at the restrictions imposed on her and their two children. In the secret files, released from the National Archives, the moment Mrs Pujol confronted her husband's case officer is recorded. "I don't want to live five minutes longer with my husband," she screamed at Pujol's MI5 case officer, Tomas Harris. "Even if they kill me I am going to the Spanish embassy." Agent Garbo would not only deceive the Nazis by pretending to be their agent and provide false information but he also tricked his wife into staying quiet. Despite Garbo's case officer coming up with the idea to tell his wife he had been sacked, the double agent did not think this would be enough. Because Mrs Pujol was not able to go back to Spain, he suggested a plan to convince her that her outburst had led to him being arrested. She was even taken to visit him, blindfolded, in a detention camp and, after the reunion, was convinced of the need to support his undercover work. MI5's legal adviser, Maj Edward Cussen, told her he had decided her husband should be released and allowed to continue the mission. "He reminded her that he had no time to waste with tiresome people and that if her name was ever mentioned to him again, he would simply direct that she should be locked up," Mr Harris noted. "She returned home very chastened to await husband's arrival."

A row between a spy and his wife during World War Two almost compromised D-Day operations, secret MI5 files show.

Parliament's summer break gives a punch-drunk political establishment a much-needed chance to ponder the total transformation of the political scene over the year since the EU referendum. But Parliament and in particular the Commons will now be critical to whatever decisions the government attempts to push through, whether on Brexit, social care funding or pretty much anything else. So, leaving aside the PM and the Labour leader, who will be the key figures? In other circumstances Mr Speaker would be cruising toward the end of his period in the chair. In this unexpectedly hung Parliament, he has been reinvigorated and shows no signs of moving on. He has delivered a series of procedural rulings on everything from cosmetic issues about the appropriate garb of MPs to the amendments to be voted on in the Queen's Speech debate. In the absence of opposition day debates, he has been allowing a generous ration of emergency debates and urgent questions, and his curt summons to the Transport Secretary, Chris Grayling, to make a statement on HS2 was a sign of just how empowered he feels. As Labour's point person on Brexit, Starmzy is one of the most important players on the biggest issue before Parliament and the country. Labour is now positioned to slam the government on almost any Brexit terms that might emerge from the divorce negotiations with the EU, and will almost certainly make ministers' lives very difficult during the passage of the long list of Brexit legislation which will hit both Houses in the autumn. But he also has to hold the ring internally between the top trio in the leadership, who take the classic Bennite view that the UK should leave the EU, and the majority of MPs, most union leaders and many of the new voters who flocked to Labour at the election, who want the gentlest possible Brexit - or no Brexit at all. The SNP's smart cerebral Brexit spokesman is a natural strategic partner for Sir Keir Starmer in efforts to make the government's life difficult, and a dangerous predator if Labour can't manage its internal divisions. Had he not seen his majority slashed to a nerve-wracking two votes, he might have been the natural successor to Angus Robertson as his party's Westminster leader - but he will undoubtedly be the main architect of its approach to Brexit legislation. He is about as Europhile as any MP in the Commons and he works effectively across party lines, which cannot be said of all his colleagues. The new Lib Dem leader is regarded as another political Gandalf, dispensing wisdom and wisecracks in the Jeremy Corbyn mould. But his election is accompanied by the crunching of changing gears as the cadre of youngish enthusiasts of the Farronista era are replaced by a lone wolf leader who sometimes seems to make it up as he goes along. He brings undoubted economic experience and gravitas and he is an effective Commons performer - but does he have the street smarts to put his party at the heart of a possible political realignment, if other parties fragment under the pressure of Brexit and ideological battles? A former chair of the Treasury Select Committee is supposed to have claimed that three people run the British economy: the chancellor, the governor of the Bank of England - and him. His latest successor was education secretary under David Cameron, a Remain campaigner in the referendum and a critic of Theresa May's policies and even her wardrobe. Nicky Morgan is now at the epicentre of the two key debates of the next few years. The economics of Brexit and its impact on the City of London will, of course, pre-occupy her committee. But it could also end up umpiring the debate on whether the government should continue with austerity or slow down its efforts at deficit reduction. As a Left Tory, she is interestingly positioned. Watch her closely. The Westminster leader of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party is the man who can - at a price - supply the Commons votes the government needs for its survival, through the confidence and supply deal the party struck with Theresa May, after some considerable negotiation. Few parties are more regularly misunderstood in Westminster than his band of 10 MPs. They may be social conservatives, but they don't imagine they can impose their values on the rest of the UK. They are not the Northern Ireland franchise of the Conservative Party and have a quite different set of instincts on many issues. Mr Dodds not long ago denounced the Tories' descent into "free market fundamentalism", noting rather pungently that "Mrs Thatcher, as she was in some other matters, was wrong about the Good Samaritan. What mattered was not that he had hard cash but that he had good intentions." The DUP will support the government in critical votes but there will be an audible "ker-ching" from their tills, each time they exact a price from ministers. Almost invisibly, the Tory chief whip is the crisis manager who keeps the business of government going. He brokered that confidence and supply deal with the DUP and his relationship with Nigel Dodds (via DUP whip Sir Jeffrey Donaldson) is one of the jugular veins of the current set-up. The next few months will be a stern test of his stamina and resourcefulness. He is often spotted sniffing the air in the bars and canteens, while watching opposition MPs from the corner of his eye - to the point where opposition whips have started to stage furtive plotting sessions, just for the pleasure of watching him try to guess what they're up to. He received serious injuries, with emergency services called to Hafodyrynys, near Crumlin, at around 03:40 GMT on Tuesday. Two men, aged 35 and 32, were arrested and are in police custody. Officers are continuing to investigate and appealed for witnesses. The 28-year-old defender has also been fined £8,000 and ordered to attend a Football Association education course. Turner's charge related to an incident in a Championship match on 10 December. Burton have the right to appeal against the independent panel's decision, meaning Turner can play against Huddersfield on Saturday. The centre-back had "strongly denied" the charge and, in a statement, Brewers manager Nigel Clough said the club were "incredibly disappointed" by the decision. Turner was one of four players booked in the same injury-time incident in Burton's 2-1 defeat at Griffin Park, which also involved his team-mate Jon McLaughlin and Brentford pair Romaine Sawyers and Yennaris. Turner was found guilty of an "aggravated breach" of FA regulations as his language "included a reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or nationality". Newcastle midfielder Jonjo Shelvey received a five-game ban in December and was fined £100,000 for using racially abusive language towards Wolves' Morocco international midfielder Romain Saiss. Chelsea's John Terry was handed a four-match ban and a £220,000 fine for racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand, while Liverpool's Luis Suarez received an eight-match suspension and a £40,000 fine for his abuse of Manchester United's Patrice Evra - both in 2011. The firm has been waiting since July for approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to test drones near Seattle, reports Reuters. Amazon announced proposals for a drone delivery service called Amazon Prime Air in December 2013. The FAA has been contacted by the BBC for comment. "Without approval of our testing in the United States, we will be forced to continue expanding our Prime Air R&D footprint abroad," wrote Paul Misener, Amazon's vice president of global public policy, in a letter to the FAA. Amazon wants to use small drones to deliver packages up to 2.3kg (5lb) in weight. The service would enable customers to receive a purchase within 30 minutes of placing an order. Six drone operators were approved by the US to carry out commercial flight tests at around the same time as Prime Air was announced but Amazon was not among them. Successful applicants included the University of Alaska, Griffiss International Airport in New York and North Dakota's Department of Commerce. The FAA said it considered "geography, climate, location of ground infrastructure, research needs, airspace use, safety, aviation experience and risk" in selecting the operators. Amazon already has a drone R&D lab in Cambridge in the UK. Google and DHL are also exploring the use of drones as couriers. During the summer, Google demonstrated its service using a fixed-wing craft and in September DHL started a regular drone-delivery service to an island in the North Sea. The first 15,000 tickets for the 1 January event were made available online at 08:00 GMT. Organisers introduced an online queuing system and apologised for the problems. All tickets were claimed within two hours despite the problems. A final 10,000 tickets will be released on 5 November. Users reported waiting in the queue for around 45 minutes to book tickets. It is not the first time City of Culture events have caused issues. High demand for tickets to an acrobatic performance in July also caused the online booking system to crash. Read more about this and other stories from Hull and East Yorkshire The City of Culture team said the initial issues on the site were caused by "the volume of web traffic". Martin Green, director and chief executive officer of Hull 2017, said: "We are aware some users experienced technical difficulties in getting on the site in the first 20 minutes, after which tickets were processed for customers, and normal service resumed." He also advised people wishing to apply for the second wave of tickets to pre-register their details before 11:00 GMT on Saturday. The display is due to take place over the city centre from 20:17 GMT, accompanied by a specially commissioned soundtrack featuring music recorded by bands and musicians associated with Hull. Organisers said the show would be bigger than the New Year's Eve display held in London. They were called by the Clackamas County owners of the 1,500lb (680kg) animal, named Moses, who said they were simply unable to free him. The rescuers had to dig for hours to rescue Moses, whose long skinny legs were deep in the mud. A veterinarian later checked the animal and said he was unhurt. The firefighters got a call from the animal's owners late on Tuesday. They said they had tried but failed to pull Moses out of the sinkhole at their rural Oregon City property. The owners also said they were worried that the animal would break his legs if he tried to free himself while still partially buried. The firefighters dug around Moses - who continuously cried and wailed - for several hours and eventually managed to slip straps under its belly and pull him out. Moses had to lie on his side for about an hour, resting after the ordeal. He eventually got up on his knees, rose fully and slowly walked to his barn. The government has provided 25,000 rupees ($250, £164) to families to buy corrugated sheets and warm clothes and paid out 40,000 rupees ($400) for the death of each family member. Most affected families have received this money. The Himalayan nation has also assessed the loss and damage caused by the quake, but has yet to officially kick start its much-delayed reconstruction mission. The National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) was only set up in December 2015. It will officially announce the start of reconstruction campaign in the coming week. The authority is seeking 811 billion rupees ($8bn) to implement its reconstruction programme for the next five years. NRA spokesperson Ram Thapaliya told BBC Nepali that international donors are being asked to extend their commitment for reconstruction programmes. "The donors have already pledged half of the amount ($4bn) and we are in the process of seeking commitment for the rest," he said. Nearly 9,000 people died and 22,309 were injured in the two earthquakes that struck Nepal last year. The first was on 25 April 2015, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake which caused most of the damage and loss of life. A large number of aftershocks followed, including one that measured 7.3 on 12 May 2015. The quakes destroyed or damaged more than 800,000 houses mainly in the western and central districts, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). The country seemed totally unprepared for the disaster. Government buildings, some stretches of roads and Kathmandu Valley's famous historic monuments - Unesco world heritage properties - were destroyed or damaged with many villages north of Kathmandu flattened. In the famous trekking destination of Langtang, which lies about 100km (62 miles) north of Kathmandu, an entire settlement was buried and washed away by a massive landslide, killing more than 100 people, including international trekkers and local villagers. Several people are still missing and have never been accounted for. More than a dozen climbers also died in an avalanche near Mount Everest base camp. Nepali government figures show that about 500,000 families were made homeless by the quakes. But aid agencies say the true figure is much higher, with millions homeless. The IFRC says "an estimated four million people are still living in sub-standard temporary shelters" where they're exposed to weather and health hazards. It also estimates that more than 800,000 homes were damaged. "Despite achievements in many areas of earthquake recovery efforts, little progress has so far been made in helping survivors to rebuild permanent homes," it said. But Nepali officials blame a four month blockade at the Nepal-India border for hampering post-earthquake reconstruction programmes. The unrest was due to Madhesi parties in southern Nepal protesting against a new constitution which they said disadvantaged them. Ram Thapaliya of the National Reconstruction Authority says work is under way to help those in need and speed up the reconstruction process. "In March, we started distributing grants, worth $500 in first stage, to around 800 families for reconstruction," he said. "Now another 5,000 families are in the process of getting that amount." While preparing its Post Disaster Need Assessment (PDNA), the Nepali government estimated that it would need $7bn for reconstruction. But now the reconstruction authority is raising that amount to $8.1bn, due to unspecified "cost factors". Soon after the earthquake struck Nepal last year, a large number of international aid agencies and individuals flew into Nepal and fanned out across the affected areas from Barpak, Gorkha, the epicentre of the 25 April earthquake to Dolakha in the east, near the epicentre of the 12 May earthquake. Their main purpose was to focus on immediate rescue and rehabilitation. According to Himal news magazine, a popular Nepali weekly which has run an investigative cover story in its recent edition, the agencies spent an estimated $1bn. The magazine wrote: "Where did the money go? Of the 1 billion dollars that were raised, two-thirds were spent by donor agencies, international NGOs and their local partners, and only one-third of that amount actually reached the victims." But aid workers say the main problem is bureaucracy - and that some donors have become frustrated and given up as a result. "We just lost a donor who wanted to give $400,000,'' Unesco's representative to Nepal, Christian Manhart, told AP news agency. "Everything seems to be blocked because there are very lengthy government procedures.'' The Unesco office has about $1.8m earmarked for Nepal which is still waiting to be spent, AP reports. Before the earthquake, Nepal's tourism sector was doing well. In 2014, an estimated 800,000 tourists visited Nepal. Nepal re-opened for tourism just two months after the quakes. But the devastating earthquakes clearly scared many visitors and the number of arrivals dropped by about 30% in 2015, according to Department of Tourism figures. The government is hopeful 2016 will be better. "We are hoping for an improvement in the coming year," Sudarshan Prasad Dhakal, director general of Department of Tourism, told the BBC. He said the government was encouraging Nepalis to visit their country's exotic natural and cultural sites this year. "In the short term, this will help the local hoteliers, and in the longer term, it will help lay the foundation for future arrivals of international visitors." Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford said it will help shops, pubs and cafes. Their tax bills are set to increase significantly in April as a result of a revaluation of their premises. Monmouthshire council deputy leader Bob Greenland gave a cautious welcome, having previously said firms in the county face a big hike in rates. "So the news is good but we cannot be sure we are out of the woods until we see the details of the scheme," he said. Mr Drakeford's announcement follows calls for more support to be offered to affected retailers. He said: "Some retailers across Wales are seeing substantial increases in their rates. "There are towns and communities which have been disproportionately affected. "Equally, there are many high streets across the country where business rates are falling but retailers are still struggling. "This targeted relief scheme will be in place by 1 April next year when the revised rates come into force." In Monmouth, Gatehouse pub boss Phil Ramsden said his business rates would be increasing 130%, costing the business the equivalent of one person's salary. He added that a "massive amount of extra turnover" would have to be generated "to pay that increase". "That's going to have an effect on how we look to develop," he said. Nearby Mon Teas, a loose leaf teas and tea paraphernalia seller, called the rates an "indiscriminate tax" on small businesses. "They are based, in theory, on the ability to rent out a property at a certain level. It's not based on how much profit you make," said boss David Tovey. His rateable value will increase by about 62% - an extra £2,500, which could, potentially, "kill the business", he said. The new funding, which will be distributed by local authorities, is in addition to the Welsh Government's £10m transitional relief scheme and its Small Business Rates Relief Scheme worth £100m. Business rates all over Wales and England have been re-calculated, with the new tariffs based primarily on how much a property would cost to rent. The re-valuation, based on 2015 prices, was carried out by the independent Valuation Office Agency. The pledge has been agreed with Plaid Cymru ahead of the Welsh Government's final budget. Plaid Cymru's finance spokesman Adam Price said: "We have taken heed of the concerns of businesses, and urged the government to take action. We are glad that they have responded constructively." Welsh Conservatives' economy spokesman Russell George said: "We are pleased that they have finally listened to reason. "Hopefully this additional money will be sufficient to support companies facing a huge uplift in their tax bills." News of the milestone comes as Spotify continues a fund-raising from investors in advance of a launch in the US. The Anglo-Swedish company has 6.67 million users, the majority of whom use a free service subsidised by adverts. Spotify's profitability depends on users switching to premium services that remove adverts and allow listeners to use smartphones. The company announced on its website's blog: "It seems like only yesterday we were hatching ideas for a new music service in a tiny office-cum-apartment with a broken coffee machine. "So it's with a sense of real pride and excitement that we can announce a new milestone today, having welcomed our millionth paying subscriber to the service. " Spotify is in the process of a $100m funding round that analysts estimate values the company at $1bn (£616m). The company's plans to launch in the US have been delayed by concerns at the big music labels about the success of its business model. Spotify pays royalties each time a song is played on its service. Last year, it was estimated that the subscriber base represented about 7%-8% of Spotify's total user base. But with one million subscribers, that percentage has risen to about 15%, the company said. Enniskillen Royal Grammar School is operating on a split site following the amalgamation of two schools in the town. The decision to close Portora Royal and the Collegiate Grammar Schools in 2014 divided the community. A petition signed by thousands of opponents to the plan was presented at Stormont. The school now has a single identity, but the two buildings at Cooper Crescent and Lough Shore Road are on opposite sides of Enniskillen. Teachers raised their concerns at a recent meeting with the school's governors. One teacher said they spent two hours each week travelling between sites, while another said they moved between schools four times in one day. They said preparation time, lunch breaks and teaching time were being lost and providing cover for teachers who leave early or arrive late affects more than 100 classes a week. It is claimed that staff in the same departments communicate by email, rather than meeting face-to-face. The governors were told the situation was putting staff under "immense stress and pressure". The school decided not to amalgamate every year group this year, in order to avoid disrupting pupils taking exams. The principal of Enniskillen Royal Grammar School, Elizabeth Armstrong, said the situation would improve next year, when the school became fully integrated. She said that the split site was always going to cause difficulties, which they had tried to minimise, but added that it was up to the Department of Education to fulfil its promise of a new school. "We as a school are up and running, we are making the most of the opportunities we have, we are doing our best to minimise the impact, but our young people, our staff and our community need this new-build and it's important that it's expedited as quickly as possible," she said. Last month, the Department for Education announced that Portora was the preferred location, after conducting a technical feasibility report on site options for a new school. However, the process of completing a business case, appointing a design team, obtaining planning permission, and tendering for contractors can take many years before construction can begin. Another school in Enniskillen, Devenish College, has experienced years of delays as it waits for a new building. Although a site was purchased in 2004, it took 10 years for an economic appraisal to be approved. Construction was supposed to start last year, but was put back by bad weather. It is now expected that building work will begin in the next financial year and that the school will be finished in 2019. Peter Little, the head of the board of governors at Enniskillen Royal Grammar School, said he would be very disappointed if pupils who have just started at the school "will not see the fruition of a new building". "New pupils who have come in this year and new pupils who will join us in September, they will be amongst the first cohort that will have a new building, that will be the sort of timescale that I would envisage," he said, adding that, while there was no timetable in place yet, they were putting pressure on the Department of Education. "This town has been blighted, to an extent, by delays in new school buildings," he said. "We hope that this one won't be as slow. I'm fully aware it's going to take some time, but it's essential that we get a start to the work." Ten Doeschate, 35, steps up from one-day captain to replace James Foster, who held the role for five years. England all-rounder Bopara, 30, has been with Essex since 2002. "I personally think Ryan will make a really good four-day captain. I believe he has the skills and determination to drive us forward," head coach Chris Silverwood told BBC Essex. All-rounder ten Doeschate, who has been with Essex since 2003 has scored 7,638 first-class runs at an average of 47.14 and taken 195 wickets, as well as appearing 33 one-day internationals and nine &20 matches for the Netherlands "We've seen he's a cool head out on the field and tactically he's very good," said Silverwood. "That's the sort of quality we need if we're looking at not just getting out of Division Two, but competing in Division One and ultimately winning Division One, and I think he's got the skills to take us there." Meanwhile, Bopara, whose last England appearance was in a one-day international against Afghanistan in March last year, is expected to try to play in the Indian Premier League this year, but this will not have a major impact on his Essex role. Silverwood added: "Ravi wants to be a captain. He's reached the stage of his life where he wants to be a leader on the field and that's exactly what he's going to get the opportunity to do. "He is [putting himself up for IPL auction], there's a possibility he'll miss a couple of games but we've go to live with that - that's the modern age of cricket." But now a decision by Greggs to drop the pies has left a bad taste in the mouth, stoking up an online petition, political opposition and a newspaper campaign. The petition asking Greggs to "restore the Macaroni Pie to its rightful place (just below the Sausage Rolls and to the left of the Steak Bakes)" has topped 1,300 signatures. On Twitter, Scottish Labour's Kezia Dugdale has appealed for cross-party support to #savethepie. And at First Minister's Questions in the Scottish Parliament, Nicola Sturgeon revealed that while she was "not a lover of the macaroni pie", she had been lobbied on the issue by her own family. She told MSPs: "I got a stern talking to on the telephone last night from my father that he expected me to join the campaign to save the macaroni pie. "I've always been an obedient and loyal daughter and this occasion is no different." However, Greggs has said it is sticking by its decision, adding: "Unfortunately over recent years it had become the smallest selling line from our savoury counters in Scotland." The history of the macaroni pie suggests a genesis of happy accident or thrift, yet there are dozens of online recipes, with the main centres of excellence seeming to be Scotland and Trinidad and Tobago. Despite an age of globalisation, widening choice and changing tastes - there's always a market for the traditional. Maybe the time of the craft macaroni pie has come? Baron Barnett, born Joel Barnett, is most famous for devising the formula that sets public spending in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Barnett formula was put in place when Lord Barnett was chief secretary to the Treasury in the late 1970s - it was intended to be a temporary fix. But is has continued to be used - in recent years Lord Barnett said the system was "unfair" and needed reform. His daughter Erica said he died peacefully at home on Saturday morning, after a short illness. A written question in the House of Lords on Monday on the subject of the Barnett formula prompted Lords to pay tribute to Lord Barnett, who was described as a "formidable parliamentarian" and "a delight to have as a sparring partner". Elected as Member of Parliament for Heywood and Royton in 1964, Barnett served in the House of Commons until 1983. In the Labour governments of 1974-79 he was chief secretary to the Treasury, before moving to serve on, and later chair, the Public Accounts Committee during the 1979-83 parliamentary term. In 1983, his seat was abolished due to boundary changes, and he was elevated to the House of Lords as Baron Barnett in 1984. During his tenure in the Lords he served on the European Union Committee, the Economic Affairs Committee, and the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England. The Barnett formula has become central in political debate in the past few months because of the promise by the three largest Westminster parties that it would continue to set public spending levels in Scotland in the event of a 'No' vote in the independence referendum. Under the formula, extra funding - or cuts - from Westminster is allocated according to the population size of each nation and which powers are devolved to them. When the UK government increases or decreases funding for departments such as health and education in England, the Barnett formula is used to decide how much devolved governments will receive. It is controversial because it often leads to public spending per head being considerably different in different parts of the UK. It has typically been higher in Scotland than in England, for example. In September, Lord Barnett wrote in the Daily Mail that he "never thought the arrangement would last any longer than a year or two", and described the public spending per head differences as "grossly unfair". Speaking in a debate in the House of Lords in 2010, he predicted that "if we don't do something about it soon the only people who will benefit from this are the people who want to break up the UK, like the SNP in Scotland". He said the formula's longevity was "a tribute to the fact that governments of all persuasions don't like to make the major changes that are needed". His daughter Erica said the discussion of the formula in the Scotland debate was "a great boost" to him, as it allowed him "to say what he had been saying for a long time to anybody who would listen", that he thought the formula was "unfair and undemocratic". His death was announced by the Labour Party. Labour leader in the Lords Baroness Royall said: "Joel was an extraordinary individual. "As an MP, minister and colleague in the House of Lords, to the very end he was diligently holding the Government to account and doing his best to ensure the best for the people of this country." Nick Gibb says he wants to give schools and councils in England "the power and clarity to ensure children attend school when they should". The court ruled a man was entitled to take his child out of school on holiday due to her good attendance record. Mr Gibb was responding to an urgent question in the Commons from a Tory MP. Steve Double, MP for St Austell and Newquay, said: "Only 8% of school absenteeism is down to family holidays, and when you look at the attainment of those children, there is no drop-off on attainment. "Family holidays are good for children, they widen their knowledge of their world, they widen their experiences, and the children of families who take them on holiday often perform better as a result." Mr Double also highlighted the economic impact of the term-time ban on holidays, on tourism areas like Cornwall, and called for a full debate on the issue. Responding, Mr Gibb said he was awaiting the written judgement from the high court and would set out the government's next steps in due course. He said: "The ruling represents a significant threat to one of the government's most important achievements over the last six years - improving school attendance. "For this reason the government will do everything in its power to ensure head teachers are able to keep children in school. "There is abundant academic evidence which shows time spent in school is one of the single strongest determinants of academic success. Even a week off at secondary school can have a significant impact on a pupil's grades." He said the number of persistent absentees had dropped by over 40% since 2010, adding there were four million fewer days of authorised absence over the period 2012-13 to 2015-2016. He acknowledged: "The need to take time off school in exceptional circumstances is important, but there are no special circumstances where a 10-day family holiday to Disney World should be allowed to trump attendance at school. "The rules must and should apply to everyone, this is about social justice. When parents with the income available to take their children out of school go to Florida it sends the message that schools aren't important." Instead he urged schools and academies to club together and change their term and holiday dates. The pledge comes after the High Court ruled in favour of a father who refused to pay a £120 fine for taking his daughter on an unauthorised term-time holiday. Isle of Wight Council had asked it to clarify the law after magistrates had overturned their fine - saying Jon Platt had no case to answer as his daughter had attended school regularly. The case centred on whether the child's track record of attendance could and should be taken into consideration when seeking a fine for unauthorised absence. His public appearances have been limited since suffering a heart attack last month. Mr Robinson will be joined at Dublin Castle by the deputy first minister Martin McGuinness. Mr McGuinness is having a separate meeting with the Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon. When the North South Ministerial Council met in Dublin earlier this month, the first minister was not present. Since then, his work schedule has been curtailed as he recuperates after his recent illness. Much of the interest surrounding this meeting of the British Irish Council will centre on Ms Sturgeon, following the Scottish National Party's stunning result in the UK general election. She is meeting with Mr McGuinness who has called for the three devolved institutions to work together to fight austerity. Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond and the Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny will be at the BIC meeting, as will the Welsh First Minister Carwyn Jones. The BIC meeting is expected to concentrate on economic matters. But the media will look for tensions over the budget crisis at Stormont as well as recent claims over collusion. Finding comparable data has always been a tortuous process, so this gives a revealing snapshot into waiting times across the NHS. These are clearly difficult figures for Labour and I'd expect them to form the backdrop to many of the health debates in the coming months. Is Wales' comparatively older, poorer and sicker population to blame? The well-respected Nuffield Trust says that while it may be a factor, it doesn't explain the extent of the divergence. And then there's the question of how health services are managed. The system in England operates under a so-called targets and terror regime, in Wales the system is altogether cosier with no internal market, and a much better relationship between the government and health professionals. Whatever the reason, the Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething took to the airwaves with the message that it's not all about waits, but about patient outcomes. The problem with this defence is that if you have to wait too long, for a hip operation for example, the overall outcome isn't going to be good, no matter how high the quality of the surgery. My sense is that few people question the quality of the treatment they receive. As ministers are keen to point out to us on a regular basis, most people have a good experience in the NHS. The issue for many is not the actual quality of the treatment, but the length of time they wait to be seen. Ministers are also, in effect, appealing for people to give them time to implement a number of plans to help people receive treatment in their communities, rather than by taking up the time of consultants. And there have been improvements in some areas. The waits for heart by-pass surgery are on average 54 days longer than in England, but in 2011 the waits were 120 days longer. Time, of course, is one thing a government doesn't have as it approaches an election. Opposition parties will claim these waits are a legacy of the decision not to protect health budgets in the early years of the administration. Labour will be hoping to cancel that out with the latest Treasury figures showing that spending per head on the NHS is higher in Wales than in England. Opposition parties have seized on the figures. In no particular order, they've been labelled "disgusting", a "cause for concern" and sufficiently serious to merit an apology. It's all strong stuff but while these figures unquestionably make difficult reading for Labour, they also pose serious questions for the opposition parties. For example, how would the Conservatives plan for directly-elected chairs of health boards wipe out four month waits for hip replacements? And the same question goes for Plaid, with its plan for a major re-organisation of services. All questions that will need answering in the coming weeks. The six new MPs we have been following over the past two months have come from all walks of life and their reflections on life at Westminster have been fascinating. If the pundits were surprised by the election result, so were many of the candidates. Former army captain Johnny Mercer - who this week has appeared half naked in an advert for Dove shower gel in the United States - was the unexpected Conservative winner for the seat of Plymouth Moor View. It was such a surprise that he had not prepared an acceptance speech. Fellow Conservative Maria Caulfield was also a surprise winner, prising the Sussex seat of Lewes from the Lib Dem veteran Norman Baker. She comes from a working class background in South London and was only drawn into politics when the Labour government planned cuts to the hospital where she was working as a nurse before becoming a sister leading a team in breast cancer research. She plans on continuing some of that work while she is an MP: "I think it's really important that I am able to dip in and see with what's happening in the NHS and so I can see for myself and hear from other nurses and doctors what life is really like and not just take it as something we're told here in Westminster." Most of the 182 new MPs find the Palace of Westminster utterly baffling at first. It's something I remember myself as a rookie political journalist - I always seemed to end up in the House of Lords. Jess Phillips. the new Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, told us: "I have only just found the ladies' toilets after three days. "Hopefully it's going to get a bit better from here." Johnny Mercer, despite all those years of orienteering in the army, constantly found himself in the kitchens. "Rather disturbingly I always seem to end up in the kitchen which is slightly worrying, but I'm getting to know all the staff because I just ask one of them to and they point me in the right direction," he says. "We're getting to know each other quite well." For many of the new intake the traditions and customs of Westminster are intensely frustrating. Jess Phillips told us: "It's a silly place to work where people wear tights and carry swords." The new SNP MP for Glasgow East Natalie McGarry can't stand the formality of the parliamentary conventions like addressing other MPs as My Right Honourable Friend. She told us she was appalled to see a Conservative MP with his feet on the table next to the mace - or that "big gold thing" as she described it. She also hates the uproar in the Commons. "The Tories are particularly bad at it, it sounds like rutting pigs," she says. "I was frankly astounded that this is a thing that they do, they sit with their feet next to the queen's big gold thing - the mace? Yes the mace! It's been such a boys' club for so long that some of the conventions frankly don't belong in the 21st century." But Johnny Mercer is disparaging about the SNP. "There seems to be a fairly intense fight between the SNP and Labour for the other side of the chamber," he says. "It's a bit of a pound shop 'Braveheart' really - trying to hang in there and kick out Dennis Skinner - so that's always amusing." The new SNP MP for Edinburgh East, Tommy Sheppard, only joined the party a few months ago. He was a Labour member for many years and ended up as a full time official as assistant general secretary in Scotland. "If you'd asked me seven months ago I would have denied any intention of ever being here," he says. He is clearly versatile - he runs several comedy clubs and was in the final of MasterChef. "I was robbed actually," he jokes. "I think it was a political decision to be honest." But he's got a new role now: "We've all been given a special brief to work on, mine is shadow spokesperson for the Cabinet Office which can mean everything or nothing. "Someone once joked that it's a little bit like the director of 'better' from the W1A programme. "It's not, it's not. It's a very serious position." Tulip Siddiq held the seat of Hampstead and Kilburn (Glenda Jackson's old constituency) for Labour by the narrowest of margins. She knows her way around Westminster as she used to work here as a researcher. We caught up with her on the day of her maiden speech which is one of the initiation rites for new MPs. But politics is in her blood. Her grandfather was the first president of Bangladesh and the current prime minister - Tulip's aunt - came to watch the speech. Sheikh Hassina says "One day she'll be someone in this country - that I can predict it. I'm really, really proud of her." Johnny Mercer's maiden speech won high praise from the prime minister. He described how his best friend died in his own arms. The former captain decided to become an MP to campaign on better treatment for army veterans based on his own experience, as he explained to us. "One patrol commander I turned up to after an improvised explosive device explosion had seen two of his soldiers eviscerated in front of him essentially and this section commander was walking around almost in a trance - and so the effect is very, very real." But those powerful real life experiences has meant he is in no fear of the whips and so is prepared to rebel if the government doesn't spend 2% of GDP on defence. He said: "David Cameron has given personal assurances to the head of Nato and to some heads in the army that that 2% is going to be met. "It hasn't been officially announced. I personally would clearly like it to be seen to be met and if it's not I'll do everything I can to rectify that". Tulip Siddiq is equally outspoken - she wants the mansion tax scrapped by her party and is defiant about high speed rail. "I've made it very clear that I will be rebelling on something if the Labour Party puts a motion forward on [HS2] which I know that the Conservatives are also supporting but it destroys 300 homes near my constituency and I will be putting my constituency before the party in that case and so I think the whips are a little bit nervous about that." And on one of the biggest issues facing the country - Europe - Conservative Maria Caulfield is also preparing to stand her ground. I asked whether she could imagine campaigning to leave the EU. She replied "I personally could - I am quite a Eurosceptic. "That's not to say that if David Cameron renegotiates an amazing deal, especially around the free movement of people, that I couldn't be persuaded to vote to stay. "I probably will vote to leave, not 100% sure, I'd say about 80% sure." Labour's Jess Phillips wants to use her experience as the director of a Women's Aid centre to challenge Michael Gove. "I will be able to take him on having run Ministry of Justice contracts for the last five years," she says. So what about the future? She is determined to keep a grip on reality. "My biggest challenge in all this daunting regalia is to try and stay just me, just Jess, Harry and Danny's mum, you know, the woman who lives in Birmingham." The Brazilian injured himself taking a penalty, which he missed, in the shootout as Liverpool lost the League Cup final to Manchester City on Sunday. The 29-year-old missed Wednesday's 3-0 against City at Anfield in the Premier League. Klopp also confirmed defender Mamadou Sakho and England striker Daniel Sturridge were back in training. Both players missed Liverpool's midweek game at Anfield with Sakho suffering a head injury in the cup final defeat while Sturridge did not take a penalty. Liverpool travel to Selhurst Park to play Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday with kick off at 13:30 GMT. The committee sent a letter to Health Secretary Shona Robison outlining the findings of an inquiry into GP hubs. Convener Neil Findlay urged the government to tackle the perception that GPs are "second-class medics". Ms Robison insisted she had a "clear shared vision on the future direction of GP services" agreed with doctors. The health and sport committee conducted a short inquiry into primary care, with two evidence sessions hearing from GPs, their representatives and Ms Robison. Mr Findlay laid out the findings of the investigation in a letter to the health secretary, which suggested a number of steps that could be taken to increase the number of family doctors, including changing the "largely academic-based approach" medical schools use to select students. He wrote: "Overall, we consider there is an absence of a clear vision setting out what primary care should look like in the future. "Concerns around GP recruitment, vacancy rates and the profession have been well rehearsed. This is why we wanted to take specific evidence on this issue to determine what else the Scottish government needs to do to tackle this problem. "What was clear was that within the medical profession general practitioners were viewed as second-class medics. This committee considers this issue so fundamental that unless it is addressed we don't see how any attempts to boost recruitment can work. "We also heard of real issues around retaining medical students who train in Scotland. More needs to be done to come up with ways to encourage students who study here to stay here and practice." During their inquiry, the committee heard that 25% to 30% of the work done by GPs could be dealt with by other professionals such as nurses and pharmacists, with MPs urging the government to set out in detail how "they will ensure full co-operation and participation from GPs in the development and delivery of a true multi-disciplinary team partnership". The committee questioned if medical schools are "automatically reducing the potential pool of those desiring a career in general practice" by targeting academic high flyers. To address this, the MSPs suggested ministers "consider whether changes to the current largely academic-based approach might be beneficial in increasing numbers seeking to enter general practice". Ms Robison responded: "We're working with doctors to transform primary care, backed by our commitment to increase the amount invested in primary care and GP services by £500 million by the end of this parliament. "We have a clear shared vision on the future direction of GP services with the BMA, including the enhanced role GPs can play, which forms the bedrock of our negotiations towards a new GP contract." "NHS staffing is at a record high level and we've already increased GP numbers under this government. "But we are committed to going further as we transform our local health services to better-meet the needs of communities across Scotland." They found that sugary proteins on the surface of some healthy gut bacteria train the immune system to fend off the malaria parasite. Tests, in the journal Cell, showed the same sugary protein could be used in a vaccine to immunise mice against malaria. It may explain why some people never catch malaria. There is a vast community of bacteria living in the human gut that keeps us healthy. A team of Portuguese researchers discovered that the Plasmodium parasite, which can cause malaria when it enters the bloodstream through a mosquito bite, has a sugary molecule on its surface that is also found on E. coli that live in the gut. Experiments in mice showed that natural antibodies triggered by the bacterial sugar also attached to a similar version on the malaria parasite. It sets off an immune reaction which stops the parasite from entering the bloodstream halting the infection in its tracks. Further investigation with researchers from the US and Mali found that, in an area where the disease is endemic, people with the lowest levels of those antibodies were most susceptible to catching malaria. The researchers said the reason why young infants are more likely to contract malaria may be because they do not yet have sufficient levels of these circulating natural antibodies. They now want to see if a vaccine containing the sugar, known as alpha-gal, would work in humans, and particularly young children, as it seems to do in mice. It is estimated that 3.4 billion people are at risk of contracting malaria. WHO data from 2012 reveals that about 460,000 African children died from malaria before reaching their fifth birthday. Study leader Dr Miguel Soares said: "If we can vaccinate these young children against alpha-gal, many lives might be saved." Dr Alvaro Acosta-Serrano, a lecturer at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine said it was an exciting idea and his team are looking into the role of alpha-gal in protection against Leishmaniasis. "This may explain why some people are less susceptible to malaria," he said. We want to hear what questions you have about the general election in your area.

The letter will call on them to use the so-called "Bechdel Test" when producing movies. To "pass" the test, a film must have at last two female characters. It must also contain a scene in which they converse on a subject that does not involve a male character or men in general. Members of the public will also be invited to add their names to the letter when the festival comes to a close on Sunday. The event began on Saturday with a screening of Suffragette, the 2015 film about the early days of the feminist movement in Britain. This year's festival features more than 30 Chinese and international films about women's rights, women's achievements and gay women. "Very few movies have strong female roles and characters," said festival chairman Li Dan in an interview with the Associated Press. "People and audiences have the idea that female characters should be pretty, be looking for a good marriage or a rich man or a Mr Right, and if the movie follows that path it will have a good box office."

Increases in spending came from car sales, up 9.5% from August 2013, and healthcare stores, up 8.1% from last year. Retail sales account for 70% of the US economy and analysts said the figures pointed to stronger overall economic growth. "With further jobs gains, rises in income growth and a loosening in credit conditions in the pipeline, consumption growth should strengthen in the fourth quarter and in to next year too, " said Paul Dales, US economist at Capital Economics. July's figure was revised upwards to a 0.3% rise. A separate consumer survey, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index, showed more optimism, with the index rising to 84.6 in September, from 82.5 in August. The general pick up in the US economy has prompted discussion as to when the Federal Reserve might begin to start raising interest rates. The US central bank is next scheduled to meet 16-17 September. Chris Williamson, economist at Markit, said the retail sales figures "add to the likelihood of the first rise in interest rates occurring earlier than mid-2015". "Both the official and survey data therefore point to ongoing strong momentum of the US economy in the third quarter, suggesting that the recent slowing in non-farm payroll growth seen in August may prove temporary and that policy makers will be encouraged that further strong job creation will be sustained in coming months," he added. The US economy added just 142,000 jobs in August, far fewer than analysts' had been expecting. Recorded cases rose 31% between 2013 and 2015, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) said. It said this had led to "excessive" workloads and affected the quality and speed of investigations in some forces. Meanwhile, a separate HMIC report found 31 out of 43 forces must improve their protection of vulnerable people. HM Inspector of Constabulary Zoe Billingham issued the warning that police were close to being overwhelmed by the "staggering" increase in domestic abuse cases. Her report is a follow-up to one published by HMIC in March 2014, which highlighted "significant weaknesses" in the service police gave domestic abuse victims. The new report notes improvements since then, including a 31% increase in "domestic abuse related crimes" recorded by police - from 269,700 in the year to August 2013, to 353,100 in the year to March 2015. Explaining why this is an improvement, the report says the rise could be partly due to better recording by police and forces "actively encouraging" victims to come forward. There has also been a "determined effort" by police to make domestic abuse a priority, the report adds. But it highlights problems including: The report notes the "enormous" number of people affected by domestic abuse - with 900,000 calls to police in England and Wales in the 12 months to March 2015. Violent, physical, sexual, psychological or emotional abuse - including threats and intimidation - in your home or elsewhere by your current or former partner, or any other adult family member. It can also include financial abuse, such as a partner controlling your use of money or running up debts in your name. Men and women can both be perpetrators and victims of domestic abuse, and victims are encouraged to call the police. Sources: Met Police, Money Advice Service In its separate report on protection of vulnerable people, HMIC graded all 43 forces in England and Wales, rating 12 "good", 27 "requires improvement" and four "inadequate". No force was rated "outstanding". The four forces rated "inadequate" were Bedfordshire, Essex, Staffordshire, Surrey. Forces use different definitions of "vulnerable", but criteria can include age, disability and being a victim of repeated offences. Ms Billingham said: "We witnessed a clear commitment from forces to improve the service they provide to vulnerable people generally. This determination now needs to translate into effective and consistent support and protection." Mark Castle, chief executive of charity Victim Support, said: "This report makes disturbing reading, highlighting widespread failure by the police to identify, assess or support the most vulnerable victims of crime, in particular children." County striker Alex Schalk threw himself to the ground in the Celtic box, under no contact from defender Erik Sviatchenko. Referee Don Robertson pointed to the spot, allowing Liam Boyce to draw the game in the 90th minute. "It's not a penalty," County boss manager McIntyre conceded. "I've watched it back, you can clearly see Sviatchenko go to tackle him, he's pulled out at the last minute and Alex is expecting contact and is on his way down. "From that side of things, I can fully understand Celtic's anger or disappointment. But we've had several of them go against us this season where teams have had penalties that have not been penalties, and it's been hard to take, so I understand that. "It doesn't look good, of course it doesn't. There's clearly no contact, but I believe what he's saying in terms of expecting contact. Some you get, some you don't." Celtic manager Rodgers labelled the decision one of the poorest he had seen since taking charge of the Scottish Premiership champions last summer. "It's a very disappointing end to a game we dominated throughout," he told BBC Scotland. "We had good control and then the points are taken from us by a horrendous decision. I've seen some bad decisions up here but that's one of the worst. "Referees have a tough job but I don't know what he was seeing. The linesman and the fourth official need to help him or else why are they there? "There's no way Sviatchenko makes any attempt to get the ball. I'm sure the boy (Schalk) will get punished for it." If the Scottish Football Association decides to take retrospective action against Schalk, he could face a ban. Hearts winger Jamie Walker was suspended for two matches in August after being found guilty of diving to win a penalty against Celtic. Meanwhile, Celtic captain Scott Brown is set to be available for next Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers despite being sent off in stoppage time. The skipper was shown red for a late lunge on Boyce that could result in a suspension should referee Robertson deem it violent conduct. But Celtic are appealing against the red card and the appeal will not be heard until 28 April, before the final Old Firm Premiership game of the season on 29 April. "It was the culmination of poor decisions," Rodgers said. "He had a lot given against him and not for him. I think he was just a wee bit late in his tackle." The challenge sparked a bout of pushing and shoving outside the County box, as both sets of players rushed to the scene. Boyce said he was lucky to escape serious injury, but played down the challenge from Brown. "I was waiting on the challenge coming, trying to buy us a free-kick to take the pressure off," Boyce said. "I didn't realise how strong he was coming in and thankfully my leg wasn't planted on the ground, otherwise it could have been a really bad one. "It was a bad challenge - he caught me high up on the shin and it's swollen now. But listen, it happens in games. I had caught him just before." Local officials said the man was swimming in waist-deep water with his adult son on Ocracoke Island in the Outer Banks. He suffered wounds to his ribcage, lower leg, hip and both hands after trying to fight off the animal. Experts say the number of shark attacks in the US this year is above average. Local police said the man was pulled under water by a shark measuring about 7ft (2.1m) in length just after midday on Wednesday. "The individual was actually located right in front of the lifeguard tower when it occurred," Justin Gibbs, the director of emergency services in Hyde County, told reporters. The man was pulled from the water shortly afterward and flown to a nearby hospital for treatment. No other swimmers were injured. According to the International Shark Attack File (ISAF), a program run by marine biologists at the Florida Museum of Natural History, there have been 23 attacks in 2015, of which one in Hawaii was fatal. ISAF says there are usually about 30-40 shark attacks recorded in the US each year, with most of them not being deadly. Two weeks ago, two teenagers were badly injured after separate shark attacks on North Carolina's south coast. The 14-year-old girl was mauled while swimming off Oak Island, while a 16-year-old boy was attacked on the same stretch of beach less than two hours later. They were transported to a hospital in Wilmington but both lost parts of their arms. Experts have suggested a number of possible reasons for the reported increase in incidents, including rising water temperatures and more people choosing to swim in the sea. Some have also pointed to fishermen attracting sharks either with bait for smaller fish or for the sharks themselves. Engineers have been inspecting a defect on the bridge, causing lengthy delays for motorists. The southbound carriageway was closed on Tuesday night as a precaution. The road network company Amey has revealed there are eight parts of the bridge where a similar problem could be encountered in the future. There was significant disruption on the M90 and Kincardine Bridge earlier on Wednesday as a result of the defect, with a contra flow currently operating on the northbound carriageway. One commuter said: "It's been terrible, I came down the Fife route and I was stuck for about two hours." Traffic Scotland reported congestion on the M90 back to junction 3 (Halbeath), while the A90 was very slow northbound from the M90 beyond Dalmeny. The A985 and the Kincardine Bridge were also very busy, with a 25 minute delay on the bridge around 08:30. The problem on the Forth Road Bridge was found during a routine inspection. Before the bridge was opened by the Queen on 4 September 1964, cars could only get across the Forth on a ferry. So the Forth Road Bridge, which at the time was the fourth biggest suspension bridge in the world and the longest outside the United States, was welcomed as an engineering marvel. It transformed the journey between Edinburgh and Fife and from the north of Scotland to the south. Traffic on the crossing grew steadily and it now carries 24 million vehicles across the Forth every year - far more than it was originally designed to handle. But its reputation for engineering excellence has been tarnished over the years by traffic congestion and maintenance problems. Read more on the troubles of the Forth Road Bridge The area involved is hard to reach, so a full inspection could not safely be carried out in darkness. Amey said the footpaths on the Forth Road Bridge will be closed so maintenance vehicles can have access, while abnormal loads are also prevented from crossing the bridge. High-sided vehicles can now access the bridge after they were initially prevented from doing so due to high winds. Mark Arndt, from operating company Amey, said: "A key structural component beneath the southbound carriageway has failed so it is important that we carry out all the necessary calculations before relaxing safety restrictions. "Following the detailed inspection carried out this morning we now have the information required to develop both short and long term solutions. Our team will be working through the night to design and check our plans and we aim to have these confirmed during the day tomorrow. "We apologise for the disruption that these safety restrictions are causing. Our advice remains to avoid Forth Road Bridge for the time being and divert via Kincardine or the A9 and M9, use public transport or travel outwith peak times. "Drivers did take heed of the warnings today and we would ask them to keep checking the latest information from Traffic Scotland before they set off on their journeys." Amey said it would provide further updates when there was new information. A new £1.4bn Queensferry Crossing over the Firth of Forth is due to open in December next year. It was ordered by ministers because of corrosion of the main suspension cable on the Forth Road Bridge. Culling took place in the county, for a third year, from 31 August to 12 October, with 279 animals killed. The costs for the badger cull will be met by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). Government ministers and the National Farmers' Union believe culling badgers will curb TB in cattle. Opponents say shooting the animals is not a good way to control the disease. Stop the Cull said fewer people protested in Somerset than in previous years because efforts were focused on Dorset which was included for the first time. Spokesman Jay Tiernan said: "Quite a low number of people turned out, so if that still costs half a million pounds to police then what is the actual cost of the cull? "It's a matter of fact people across the board are against the badger cull. "The protesters are always going to be there and the taxpayer is always going to lose money." Gloucestershire Police revealed last month that policing the badger cull in that county cost £425,598 in 2015. The company confirmed that 270 jobs were at risk at the company's base in Renfrewshire, where 800 staff are currently employed. They include 140 posts at its machining and assembly facility in Renfrew, along with 130 management and back-office support roles. The Unite union said it was "angered and dismayed" at the news. In addition to the planned Scottish job cuts, 70 roles are at risk in Crawley, West Sussex, another 20 at Gateshead and a further 25 at Tipton in the West Midlands. The rest will be spread across other sites in the UK. The Renfrew plant suffered job losses a year ago when Doosan announced a nationwide restructuring move. Doosan, which provides services to the energy, pharmaceutical and petrochemical sectors, said it foresaw a "long-term downturn in certain market sectors". Chief executive Andrew Hunt said: "Over the last year we have worked hard to rebalance the business, adapting to changing market dynamics and reacting to industry requirements for a low-carbon future. "Unfortunately, we foresee long-term downturn in certain market sectors which mean the current position is unsustainable. "It is with much regret that we now have to enter into the statutory consultation period on redundancies." He added: "The continued long-term growth of the business across the UK and in strategic international markets remains a priority. "We have made significant progress in transforming and future-proofing the business but this will only prove successful if we also reduce our cost base in parallel." Unite regional officer Alison MacLean said: "We are angered and dismayed that the company has started a consultation with virtually no notice to the union and without giving a clear breakdown of where it wants to make changes. "Pushing ahead with this consultation at this time of year is particularly distressing for our members. "We will be seeking an early meeting with the company to get the information our members need and to ensure that their employment rights are fully protected." The flaps, panels on the wings that help lift an aircraft, were not moving together, a source close to the probe told the private Interfax news agency. The pro-Kremlin Life news website says this led the pilots to lose control as the plane was at a "critical angle". It also quoted the crew's last words, including: "The flaps, hell... !" The ageing Tu-154 airliner came down off the Russian coast with the loss of all 92 passengers and crew. On board were 64 members of the famed Alexandrov military music ensemble, as well as one of Russia's best-known humanitarian figures, Yelizaveta Glinka. The plane was heading to Russia's air force base in Syria where the choir was due to perform at a New Year's concert. The latest findings reportedly come from a cockpit conversation stored on a "black box" recorder, found underwater about a mile from the shore on Tuesday. The military airliner was commanded by experienced pilot Maj Roman Volkov and his co-pilot was Capt Alexander Rovensky, who had 10 years of aviation service. An earlier audio recording, played on Russian media, said to be of the final conversation between air traffic controllers and the plane's crew, revealed no sign of difficulties. But Life, a new site which is close to the Russian security agencies, issued a transcript of the cockpit recording taken from the "black box", indicating the two pilots were taken by surprise. Piercing alarm sounds Alarm sounds about dangerous proximity to the ground The plane crashed soon after take-off from an airport near the city of Sochi, where it had landed for refuelling. It disappeared from radar two minutes after taking off from Adler airport at 05:23 (02:23 GMT) on Sunday. A second flight recorder has been found in a good condition and was raised from the seabed on Wednesday, the defence ministry said. According to the authorities, so far 15 bodies have been recovered from the crash site. The Tupolev airliner involved in the crash was an old model no longer flown by airlines in Russia but still used by the military. It was 33 years old. The investigators have so far ruled out terrorism as a possibility, instead concentrating on human error, a technical fault or a combination of factors as being responsible. Mechanical v human: Why do planes crash? The woman, who is in her 40s, was the driver and sole occupant of the car which crashed on the A82 Inverness to Fort William Road on Sunday. The accident happened at about 20:00, about two miles north of Invermoriston. The road was closed between Drumnadrochit and Invermoriston while police officers carried out investigations. A spokesman for the Scottish Ambulance Service said: "We received an emergency call shortly after 8pm to attend a road traffic collision. A local ambulance crew and helicopter attended. "A female in her 40s was dealt with at the scene then airlifted to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness. She is in a serious condition." Professor Higgs, 82, emeritus professor of Physics at Edinburgh University, was given the Edinburgh Award 2011 at the City Chambers. Edinburgh's Lord Provost presented him with an engraved Loving Cup, a traditional two handled drinking vessel which represents friendship. The Higgs boson particle is named after Prof Higgs. Prof Higgs is the fifth person to be honoured with the special award which recognises an outstanding contribution to the city. The scientist, who was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, follows in the footsteps of writers Ian Rankin and JK Rowling, cyclist Sir Chris Hoy and judo expert George Kerr who have previously received the accolade. Prof Higgs said: "It is a great honour to receive this award from the city that I fell in love with and is now my adopted home." His work in the 1960s proposed the existence of a particle which came to be known as the Higgs boson, the so-called God particle. It is an important component of the Standard Model of particle physics that helps explain how objects have mass. The award comes following the announcement in December 2011 from scientists at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern) in Switzerland that two independent experiments at the Large Hadron Collider had seen "tantalising hints" of the existence of the Higgs boson. Speaking to BBC Scotland ahead of receiving the award, Prof Higgs was modest about his achievements. He said: "This is something I've lived with for a really long time. It's now nearly 48 years since I did this work in 1964. "It was another 12 years before John Ellis at Cern suggested experimentalists started taking an interest, in what I had actually pointed out in an added paragraph to a paper, which, in its first version, had been rejected." A sculpture of Prof Higgs' handprints was also unveiled in the City Chambers quadrangle. They have been engraved in Caithness stone alongside those of the previous Edinburgh Award recipients. Edinburgh's Lord Provost George Grubb, said: "I am delighted to present Professor Peter Higgs with the Edinburgh Award on behalf of the people of Edinburgh. "His proposal of what has now become known as the Higgs boson has not only significantly advanced our knowledge of particle physics, culminating in the Standard Model, but has also given him a huge international reputation. "Prof Higgs' work with the University of Edinburgh has put this city on an international stage and as such he is undoubtedly a most deserved winner of one of Edinburgh's most prestigious civic awards." Dr Alan Walker, who worked with Prof Higgs at Edinburgh University, said it was a "very proud day" for both the university and the city. He said: "We are very proud to have been colleagues of Peter for many years. "This award is richly deserved, not only for the work that has led to worldwide acclaim, but for his inspiration of students, many of whom have gone on to do great things."

MEPs will vote on a timetable to stop crews discarding unwanted fish - a common practice under current quotas. They will also decide on long-term plans to protect stocks from overfishing, and whether to allow fisheries management to shift to a regional level. A fishing alliance, Europeche, says the reforms are too sudden and too radical. With an estimated 75% of Europe’s stocks overfished, there has been enormous public and media pressure over this latest attempt to shake up the CFP. The reform package before the full parliament follows a Fisheries Committee report by the German Social Democrat MEP Ulrike Rodust. She said the reforms “will bring an end to the December ritual of fisheries ministers negotiating until 4 am, neglecting scientific advice and setting too high fishing quotas. “As of 2015, the principle of maximum sustainable yield shall apply, which means that each year we do not harvest more fish than a stock can reproduce. Our objective is that depleted fish stocks recover by 2020. Not only nature will benefit, but also fishermen: bigger stocks produce higher yields.” She said fishermen had to be helped through a transitional period as fishing capacity shrank to allow stocks to recover. Ian Campbell from Ocean2012, a coalition of more than 170 organisations, told BBC News: “This is an historic opportunity. Now is the time for MEPs to listen to their constituents and demonstrate to EU fisheries ministers that the tough decisions can, and must, be made.” Spanish MEP Carmen Fraga of the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP) is leading opposition to the proposals. The EPP says the discards ban should be studied further, as boats are not equipped to measure or store all the fish they land. The party - the biggest grouping in the parliament - maintains that the proposal for catch limits from 2015, so that stocks can recover, is “rigid and unrealistic”. The EPP urges gradual implementation by 2020. This vote in parliament really matters because MEPs are sharing power on the issue for the first time. Agreement does look possible on plans to support small-scale coastal boats, by awarding them extra catch quotas if they fish sustainably. Steve Rodgers, a fisherman and fishmonger from Seaton in the UK’s West Country, is a member of a Greenpeace campaign on behalf of artisanal fleets. He told BBC News: “After many years it does look slightly hopeful. It could all go wrong, but I am daring to hope that it might go right.” Another local fisherman, Angus Walker, said: “I have been fishing since the 1960s. We have had some very bad times but things have never looked as promising as they do now. But let’s wait and see. You never know with Europe.” There also seems broad support for devolving fisheries management to a regional level – an issue promoted by the UK. Its Fisheries Minister Richard Benyon has written to MEPs, saying: “The reform is a unique and long-awaited opportunity to address the failings of the past. “The public are outraged by the terrible waste caused by fishermen being forced to discard perfectly good fish. They cannot comprehend the EU’s failure to manage our fish stocks sustainably and the insistence on centralised micro-management from Brussels.” For environmentalists this reform will be one step in a journey: they want fisheries to recover to something approaching the level where they once were. That would take policies far more radical than these, as one study suggested that over 118 years of industrial fishing, the productivity of one fishery in the UK dropped by 94%. Follow Roger on Twitter The Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) said it was inevitable the UK's defence spending would drop below the Nato target of 2% of GDP. Its report says the combined strength of the Army, Navy and RAF could fall from 145,000 to 115,000 by 2020. David Cameron said further reductions in forces were not necessary. Neither the Conservatives nor Labour have committed to the Nato target. Britain currently just meets the 2% target, but the current government is committed only to continuing that until the end of this Parliament. Rusi's findings are likely to increase the pressure on the prime minister from Conservative MPs who want a manifesto commitment to maintain the Nato target. However, the report explains that, with GDP projected to grow over the next five years, it means defence spending would also need to increase significantly in order to keep pace with the 2% threshold. "In the context of wider austerity in public spending, such an increase is not plausible," the paper states. "The government is not yet convinced that strategic security risks are high enough to justify an exemption for defence from austerity." Under the "optimistic scenario" whereby defence spending was ringfenced alongside health and schools, the paper said there would still have to be cutbacks of around 15,000 across the three services. Under the report's "most pessimistic, but still plausible, scenario", up to 30,000 jobs could be axed. This would be on top of the thousands of jobs that have already been axed since a restructuring of the armed forces began in 2010. Report author Malcolm Chalmers said: "Over the last five years personnel have taken most of the savings of the defence budget, and looking forward the equipment budget has got so many demands on it, not least from the programme to replace the submarines that carry our nuclear deterrent but also in relation to the aircraft carrier." He told BBC Radio 4's the World at One programme that a 2% commitment was unrealistic because it would involve giving defence a higher budget priority than the NHS and education. Mr Chalmers added that at the last Nato summit in September there was a "disconnect" between what Mr Cameron was saying would be spent on defence and what the Treasury was saying in any of its documents. He said: "I think there will be a significant reputational cost for the UK, if and when it falls below the 2%. "There's no point in hiding that fact and that cost will be particularly with the United States. "Even if we protect the defence budget and fall below 2% there will still be a reputational cost and a difficult conversation to be had between the prime minister and the president." Source: Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) David Cameron said: "The equipment budget in defence over the next 10 years, will grow in real terms under a Conservative government making sure that vital equipment we have ordered - the aircraft carriers, the frigates, the destroyers, the hunter killer submarines, that all of that can be delivered. "And we have also said that we do not have to see further reductions in the regular forces. "But again I would say you can't have strong defence without a strong economy." Conservative MP and former defence minister Sir Gerald Howarth said the government needed to get its priorities straight. He said: "I think that there is a growing campaign not just for 2%, but for 2% to be the minimum. "Given the resurgent Russia, which has increased its defence expenditure by 50% in the last five years - this is a dangerous world, this is not a time to be cutting our defences in any case." "If you ask me where I would say you make the savings - you make it in overseas aid," he said. The Ministry of Defence said the full-time strength of the Armed Forces stood at 145,690 at the start of this year. In January 2010, before the restructure, the equivalent figure was 176,600. A native of the Bloomfield area, the midfielder made 56 appearances for Northern Ireland during a glittering career that included a 10-year spell at Tottenham Hotspur. In that time, he captained the side to the league-and-cup double in 1961. In 2009, The Times ranked him as the greatest player in the history of Spurs. Now the man, who once said "the game is about glory", will be honoured by the Ulster History Circle, who are finalising plans to place a blue plaque in commemoration. Blue plaques are awarded for individuals who have a made a unique and lasting contribution to Northern Ireland's history. According to the organisation's chairman, Chris Spurr, there are dozens of people under consideration. However with last year marking the 20th anniversary of the footballer's death, Mr Spurr said the time was now right to honour him. "It is very competitive and we have quite a long list of people waiting to receive plaques," he said. "However Danny Blanchflower has got to the top of the list because he has been dead for 20 years and it is a good idea to honour him at this time. "Our rule is that a person cannot be considered until they have been dead 20 years, because it gives a bit of thinking time to consider the person's status and also avoid anything coming out after their death." It is expected the plaque will be placed at a home in east Belfast where the Blanchflower family lived for a period of time, pending permission from the current home owners. "We're hoping to have it up by the summer," added Mr Spurr. For Danny's daughter, Gayle, the honour came as a "delightful surprise". "I will never ever get over how he's still remember after all these years," she added. "Not just by the Northern Irish people, but throughout the world." To her, the honour is not just testament to her father's sporting exploits, but also his natural charisma and remarkable life. In 1943, the young Blanchflower lied about his age in order to join the RAF where he served with Welsh actor Richard Burton. The RAF then awarded him a scholarship to St Andrews to study maths, physics and applied kinetics. Gayle said: "He wasn't the greatest runner as a footballer, but he applied his brains to the tactics of the game." Sports broadcaster Jackie Fullerton agreed. He said: "His brains were so sharp, he read the game beautifully and could pick a pass. "Most footballers kick a ball, but Danny Blanchflower was one of those players who had that class and charisma. He caressed the ball. "He was a footballer, journalist, philosopher, raconteur, engaging company and a wonderful man." After being voted footballer of the year in 1958 and 1961, he was considered one of the best players in the UK. However despite the increased attention, the Belfast man still valued his privacy. In 1961, while live on-air, he turned down an invitation to appear on This Is Your Life. Jackie said: "The presenter, Eamonn Andrews, cornered Danny who said, 'no I'm sorry, I'm not going on'. Because it was live, it threw the whole programme and BBC into chaos." He also recalled another occasion when, as manager of Northern Ireland, the former Spurs man was being interviewed by journalists ahead of a game against the Netherlands. Jackie said: "I remember the journalists asked him if the game would be won or lost in midfield. "And Danny, in that wonderful voice of his, said, 'well, the goalposts are at either end of the pitch. I've never seen a goal scored in midfield'. "These guys were completely bemused by this wonderful man." The bear was lost in Dingwall, according to a tweet from the force. Officers based in Ross and Cromarty asked if people in the town could keep a look out for the youngster's favourite bear. The missing bear is brown and fluffy. The cash-strapped National League club is currently up for sale, but despite their financial problems Phillips says a new stadium is the best way forward. "We're looking ahead to a new ground. It's not absolutely concrete yet, but it's very, very likely that we'll be in in about three years," Phillips said. "When we get to that stage we'll become a self-sustaining club. It's just in the meantime we need financing." The Gulls first mooted moving to a new ground on the outskirts of the town in February, and have been at their current Plainmoor home for the past 105 years. Torbay Council own Plainmoor, which ultimately proved to be the stumbling block as a takeover bid for the club faltered last week. Phillips says a developer would build the ground and give it to the Gulls, but benefit from developing other businesses on land adjacent to the new stadium. And Phillips says a ground with a synthetic pitch, which could be hired out to other users, would allow the club to be financially viable. "You have 3G pitches, various sports going on, it's going to be open to all the community, not just Torquay United," he told BBC Sport. "Torquay United would be the holders of that ground, we'll make money and everyone will get benefits from that. "I know the council are very keen on this happening, so that's the future, and it's a great future, we just have to survive the next few years." Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said it would be "totally wrong" for the visit to go ahead later this year. A petition to stop it has reached over 300,000 meaning it will be considered for debate in Parliament. The visit was announced during PM May's trip to the US - no date has been set. Downing Street were asked for a response to the calls to cancel. A spokesman said: "We extended the invite and it was accepted." Speaking on ITV's Peston on Sunday, Mr Corbyn said: "I think we should make it very clear we are extremely upset about it, and I think it would be totally wrong for him to be coming here while that situation is going on. "I think he has to be challenged on this. I am not happy with him coming here until that ban is lifted, quite honestly." Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron backed the call. He said: "Any visit by President Trump to Britain should be on hold until his disgraceful ban comes to an end. "Otherwise Theresa May would be placing the Queen in an impossible position of welcoming a man who is banning British citizens purely on grounds of their faith." Alex Salmond, the SNP's foreign affairs spokesman, said he thought the state visit was "a very bad idea". Also appearing on Sky News' Sophy Ridge, he said: "You shouldn't be rushing into a headlong relationship with the President of the United States." Mr Salmond said reports Mr Trump was reluctant to meet Prince Charles during the visit were "an indication of the sort of enormous difficulties you get into when you hold somebody tight who is unpredictable, who has a range of views you find unacceptable." And Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said the visit should not happen while the executive order was in place. He told Sky News: "I am quite clear, this ban is cruel, this ban is shameful, while this ban is in place we should not be rolling out the red carpet for President Trump." Graham Guest, who started the petition, said he wanted it to "put the spotlight" on Mr Trump. He told the Press Association: "A state visit legitimises his presidency and he will use the photo opportunities and being seen with the Queen to get re-elected. "The wording in the petition is quite precise as I actually say that he should come here as the head of government to do government-to-government business. "At the end of the day he is still the president and we've just got to live with that. But there's no reason why he should get all the pomp and publicity of a state visit." Former shadow cabinet member Chuka Umunna also backed the calls to cancel the trip. "State visits happen at the instigation of governments and, of course, you have got a prime minister who you want to have a decent working relationship with a US president. "But they need to understand, just as they will put America first, we will put British values first." Paddy Ashdown, former leader of the Liberal Democrats, has questioned the state visit on Twitter. He wrote: "Am I alone in finding it impossible to bear that in pursuit of her deeply wrong-headed policies our PM is now forcing THAT MAN on our Queen?" Conservative MP for Totnes, Sarah Wollaston, earlier tweeted that the US President should not be invited to address the Houses of Parliament, saying Westminster Hall "should be reserved for leaders who have made an outstanding positive difference in the world". There is already speculation that the government might seek to push through a vote on renewing the Trident nuclear deterrent, if only to keep Labour off-balance. It would be hard to do that without notice, but the next business statement might well flag up an impending vote, perhaps before Christmas. Watch out, too, for a euro-statement or urgent question at some point this week; the President of the EU Commission, Donald Tusk, is to write to all EU leaders outlining his assessment of Britain's demands for EU reform, and there is certain to be considerable interest in his verdict. Here's my rundown of the week ahead: The Commons meets at 14:30 GMT for work and pensions questions and when they conclude there is always an excellent chance of a ministerial statement or urgent question. The day's legislative business is to polish off the report and third reading of the Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill. Report stage offers a number of contentious amendments from critics of plans to create big city metro-mayors who will preside over strategic super-authorities covering several existing councils. New Clause 8, proposed by 1922 committee chair, Graham Brady, former cabinet minister Cheryl Gillan and influential backbencher Nigel Evans aims to create a "cooling off period" for the transfer of any power to a combined authority. If a member council in a combined authority requests that a power is returned to it in the year after its local elections, then the secretary of state would have to ensure that happened. Another new clause, NC9, requires that member councils in a combined authority are consulted on any major healthcare reorganisation in their area, not just the combined authority being consulted, and another would allow a constituent part of a combined authority to leave on "fair terms" without the combined authority being dissolved. Then there is an amendment (no 2) from an impressive list of Tory awkward squaddies (including Graham Brady, again, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Peter Bone, Dr Sarah Wollaston, and former cabinet minister David Jones). It would require that elected mayors would be introduced only if approved by a referendum, most cities rejected mayors in referendums held under the coalition. In Westminster Hall, MPs will debate an e-petition "Don't kill our bees!" It demands an immediate halt to the use of Neonicotinoids, a type of pesticide in agricultural use that controls pests such as aphids and grubs. Opponents claim it gets into the pollen rendering it deadly to bees and other pollinators. Neonicotinoids are banned in several countries. The government says it is committed to protecting bees and maintaining a range of pollinators, but its decisions on pesticides are based on recommendations from independent experts who have studied the evidence. In the Lords (14.30 GMT) peers will nod through the third reading of the National Insurance Contributions (Rate Ceilings) Bill. The main business is the Welfare Reform and Work Bill, committee (day 1), key issues include those on limiting child tax credit and Universal Credit to two children and reporting obligations on child poverty. That is followed by a short debate on defence and security cooperation with UK European partners in NATO and the EU, led by the Liberal Democrat former Foreign Office minister, Lord Wallace of Saltaire, The Commons meets at 11.30 GMT for justice questions. One possible subject for a ministerial statement is the publication of a review in to how the world can tackle overuse of antibiotics in livestock to fight the rise of superbugs. David Cameron tasked Lord Jim O'Neill to investigate the issue. Reflecting his contribution to the Syria debate, the Liberal Democrat Leader Tim Farron presents a bill on asylum for unaccompanied children from places like Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Eritrea, who have been displaced by conflict. Then, MPs have up to four hours to consider amendments made in the Lords to the European Union Referendum Bill, will they strike down the amendment which called for "Votes at 16?" And what about the 10 week obligation for the foreign secretary to provide a report on renegotiation terms to the House? The next item is a motion from the Home Office minister, James Brokenshire calling for Britain to opt into the European Prüm agreement to tackle serious and organised crime through shared DNA and fingerprint databases. In Westminster Hall the big debates are Ian Austin's on access to medicines for people with cystic fibrosis and other rare diseases (09.30 - 11 GMT) and Caroline Spelman's on marriage registration certificates (14.30 - 16:00 GMT) In the Lords (14:30 GMT) two new peers take their seats: Baroness Fall (Kate Fall, the deputy chief of staff for David Cameron), and Baroness Primarolo (former Deputy Speaker of the Commons and long-serving Labour minister, Dawn Primarolo). The main legislating is detailed consideration of the Scotland Bill at committee stage, the key issues are; constitutional, the Crown Estate and quality in the public sector. The Commons opens (11.30 GMT) with Cabinet Office questions, held over from Wednesday to make time for the Syria debate. Prime minister's questions follows and then there is a bill from the DUP's Sammy Wilson on the Armed Forces Covenant (Implementation), the DUP take the view that the implementation of the military covenant is long overdue and that the Syrian intervention underlines the importance of doing the right thing by service personnel and their families. The day's main business is a pair of Labour opposition debates, first on mental health, then on the effect of the autumn statement measures on women. In Westminster Hall (09:30 GMT) the Conservative Henry Bellingham leads a debate on the exotic pets trade and Labour's Steve Rotheram leads a debate on the case of the Shrewsbury 24, building workers prosecuted in 1973 for picketing during the first ever national building workers strike. Watch out, too for the debate on electoral integrity and absent votes (16:30 GMT) the Conservative Stewart Jackson will raise concerns about the abuse of postal voting. In the wake of the Oldham by-election he has echoed UKIP concerns about "postal voting on demand" which he thinks should now be scrapped. In the Lords (15:00 GMT) the main event is the second day of detailed committee stage consideration of the Welfare Reform and Work Bill. This is where peers probe the government's intentions and don't usually force anything to a vote. But it sets up any subsequent attempts to amend at the later report stage. The key issues, this time, are employment and support allowance, work related requirements on Universal Credit, full-employment reporting, apprenticeships, and troubled families. The dinner break business is a debate on the Prum proposals (see Commons, Tuesday). The Commons meets at 09.30 GMT for transport questions , followed by the weekly Commons business statement from the leader of the House. The main debates are on two subjects chosen by the Backbench Business Committee, first the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) important trade negotiations and then on international human rights day. In Westminster Hall (13:30 GMT) there is a debate on the protection of ancient woodland and trees In the Lords (11:00 GMT) two veteran Labour ministers, Baroness (Tessa) Jowell and Lord (Alistair) Darling take their seats. The first debate is on the future of legal aid, opened by Lord Bach, who's leading a Labour Party review to analyse the impact of changes made under the coalition and the current government, this is one of those occasions where the massed ranks of house of Lords lawyers can make life very uncomfortable for the government. The second debate is on the quality and viability of the residential care sector in the light of the delay in the introduction of the cap on care costs. It is led by Labour's Baroness Wheeler. In-between is a lunch-time debate on the rise in religious conflicts and violence, in the light of the recent visit by Pope Francis to the Central African Republic. The Commons is not sitting on Friday but the Lords have a number of peer's bills to consider. First Labour's Lord Faulkner of Worcester's Accessible Sports Grounds Bill. Followed by Crossbencher Baroness Howe's Online Safety Bill. Liberal Democrat, Lord Purvis of Tweed has a Constitutional Convention Bill and finally there is a bill from another Crossbencher, Baroness Cox with her Arbitration and Mediation Services (Equality) Bill. To add to the day's agenda there is an extra-special treat in the shape of a Foreign Affairs committee hearing (10.30 GMT) on 'Libya: examination of intervention and collapse and the UK's future policy options', which will question the Labour former Prime Minister, Tony Blair. Barking and Dagenham had the highest overall abortion rate, at 29 for every 1,000 women aged 15 to 44. Health bosses from the east London borough said they had worked hard to bring down teenage pregnancy rates. Data from the Department of Health revealed wide regional variations. Knowsley in Merseyside had the highest rate outside London. The Department of Health said the total number of abortions was "fairly constant" at 185,824 in 2015, a rise of 0.7% on the year before. In some areas, almost half of all cases were "repeat" abortions. The highest rate was among 20 to 24-year-olds, with 53 abortions for every 1,000 women. Other London boroughs with higher abortion rates were Lewisham, Waltham Forest, Croydon, Enfield, Newham and Southwark. The lowest overall rates were Derbyshire, Bath and North East Somerset and Cambridgeshire, where the figure was 10 abortions for every 1,000 women aged 15 to 44. Croydon had the highest rate of repeat abortions, with almost half of all procedures being at least the second termination performed on the patient. Repeat abortions accounted for 49% of the 2,023 abortions performed in the borough in 2015. Devon saw the lowest rate of repeat abortions, 27% of procedures. Rachel Flowers, director of public health at Croydon Council, said: "Overall, Croydon's number of abortions is falling. Women who require an abortion are seeking help earlier, which is better for their health." The council said repeat abortions were more common among women and couples who had not been able "to find a method of contraception that suits them or their beliefs and attitudes; consider abortion to be a method of contraception; have mental health issues or low awareness of contraceptive options". Since 2005, abortion rates for women aged 30 to 34 in England and Wales have gone up from 14.5 per 1,000 women to 17.1 in 2015 - an 18% rise. Ann Furedi, chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, said: "The proportion of women having abortions who are in partnerships or married has increased markedly over the last decade, and more than half of women having abortions are already mothers." Ms Furedi said the charity saw many women who underestimated their risk of getting pregnant, particularly as they got older. "We need to ensure women have access to good, evidence-based information on fertility that gives them the knowledge they need to make the reproductive decisions that are right for them across their lifetimes," she added. A Barking and Dagenham Council spokesman said: "We have had some dramatic success recently in reducing teenage pregnancy rates. "We have seen a 19 per cent drop in last year's rate, meaning we no longer have the worst rate in London. "Clearly there is more to be done but we believe we are on the right road in helping residents and young people to access greater opportunities for a more prosperous, happy life." Outgoing CIA director Leon Panetta said he had "every confidence that a request like that will be forthcoming". Mr Panetta was speaking at a US Senate committee considering his nomination. The US currently has about 47,000 troops in Iraq, none in a combat role. Under a 2008 deal, they are expected to leave by 31 December 2011. "It's clear to me that Iraq is considering the possibility of making a request for some kind of [troop] presence to remain there [in Iraq]," Mr Panetta told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday. He said that whether that happened depended on what Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki might ask for. But if Baghdad did make such a request, he added, Washington should say yes. Mr Panetta did not say how many troops would be involved or what they would do. He said there were still some 1,000 al-Qaeda members in Iraq, and the situation remained "fragile". "I believe that we should take whatever steps are necessary to make sure that we protect whatever progress we've made there," Mr Panetta said. The current US contingent is deployed in a training and advisory role. In April, outgoing Defence Secretary Robert Gates said that American troops could, if required by Iraq, stay in the country beyond the withdrawal date. Mr Gates had also expressed hope that Baghdad would make such a request. The BBC's Andrew North in Washington says it seems likely that the US has offered Iraq some inducements to maintain its troop presence. But any suggestion that President Barack Obama will allow some American forces to remain behind is bound to be seen as backpeddling by both his opponents and supporters on his commitment to pull out entirely from Iraq by this year, our correspondent says. He adds that it will be controversial in Iraq as well, where there has been an increase in attacks on US bases apparently aimed at derailing any moves to keep American troops on. US fatalities in Iraq have been rare since Washington officially ended combat operations in the country last August. But earlier this week, five American soldiers were killed in central Iraq, in what is believed to be the US military's single most serious incident in the country in more than two years. Granit Xhaka's stunning 30-yard strike gave the Gunners the lead. Former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner shot wide for Forest before Lucas doubled Arsenal's lead from the penalty spot after Chuba Akpom was fouled. Lucas then rounded the goalkeeper for his second before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain drove in a late fourth. The Spanish forward, who joined from Deportivo La Coruna in August, impressed with his pace and strength throughout, with both qualities particularly evident for the second goal. He chased a ball down the left, brushed off Forest defender Michael Mancienne before bursting past goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic and then poking home. Bendtner, meanwhile, was making his first appearance against his old club, where he spent nine years at between 2005 and 2014. Nottingham Forest boss Philippe Montanier: "Like the team, Niklas Bendtner started very well at the beginning and then after it was very difficult for him because Arsenal had the ball and he did not have a lot of opportunity to play. "But physically I am surprised he is so fit because he had not a big pre-season with Copenhagen. "It was a good experience not only for Nicklas but for all the players because Arsenal have great technique, better than us, and it was difficult for us but my players, they gave everything." Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "Lucas did well. He's quick, he's determined. He uses well his left foot - a bit too much in my taste. He doesn't use his right enough. Overall he's like all the left-footed players, you know. "But I like his second goal because he has shown not only technique but determination and fight for the ball and finishing and I like that. The part he played in the goal of Oxlade-Chamberlain shows his awareness of other people and it is intelligent play. "But the most important thing for me is that we win the game. Who scores is not so important but for the player individually it's good because he can convince people he can play for us. It will help himself as well to grow in belief."

A 45-year-old man was attacked and suffered significant injuries to his face following the incident in the Rat Pack piano bar in Shandwick Place. The incident happened on Sunday 19 March at about 01.00. Police are appealing for anyone who recognises the men to come forward. The first man is white, in his 20s, about 6ft, of slim build, with short dark hair and clean shaven. He spoke with a Scottish accent. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a collared t-shirt, dark jeans and white trainers. Detectives are also looking to speak to a second man who was seen in the area and may have witnessed part of the incident. He is white, in his late 20s, about 6ft, of medium build, with short dark hair and stubble. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a white t-shirt and dark jeans. Det Con John Dunn, of Police Scotland, said: "The victim was on a night out when he was attacked in a vicious and sustained assault. He suffered a painful facial injury as a result of this incident and police have been conducting inquiries including viewing CCTV footage from the Rat Pack piano bar. "The men in the images are believed to be of significance to our investigation and anyone who can assist in tracing them is asked to come forward. "Similarly, we would ask the men to get in touch with police themselves to help with the investigation" These include cancer screening, blood pressure checks and mental health assessments. Only about half of women with learning disabilities in England received breast cancer screening last year, compared with about 70% of eligible women overall. NHS England said the number having an annual health check was on the rise. Fewer than half of patients received the recommended annual health check. This meant they were not accessing support including checks for epilepsy and chronic conditions such as asthma. The NHS recommends that people with learning disabilities and other complex health needs receive a general physical examination and review of any medicines they have been prescribed every year. The NHS Digital report looked at patients with and without learning disabilities from more than half of GP practices in England. This covered about 60% of all patients registered with a GP. The researchers found that, on average, patients with learning disabilities had a 16-year shorter life expectancy than the general population. People with learning disabilities are also entitled to extra time in GP appointments. Patients are generally allotted 10 minutes or less with their GP. An NHS England spokesperson said of the report: "The latest figures show the number of patients on a GP learning disabilities register who are receiving an annual health check is increasing but we want to go further. "It is important that people tell their doctor about their learning disability to make sure they receive extra support." Learning disability charity Mencap is running a campaign to ensure people know they can register with their doctor as having a learning disability and access this extra support. GPs can then make accommodations, for example calling patients to ensure they make appointments. The charity says people with learning disabilities might have more difficulty accessing healthcare than the general population because of a lack of accessible transport, anxiety, low confidence or lack of understanding from staff. Commenting on the low take-up of annual health checks, Mencap's strategic development manager for health Rachel Ashcroft, said: "Visiting the GP can be incredibly difficult if you have a learning disability. "Being on the GP's learning disability register can ensure healthcare is much more accessible and can result in better health outcomes for people with a learning disability." She said Mencap estimates there are 1,200 avoidable deaths a year of people with a learning disability. Two women each lost a leg and three people were badly hurt in the crash on the Smiler ride on 2 June. Souvenirs for the ride stopped being sold at the Staffordshire theme park following the crash. A spokesman said: "We will be selling merchandise again when the Smiler reopens for the 2016 season." Both the ride and theme park - which has been closed for winter - will reopen on 19 March. Updates on this and other Staffordshire stories Four people sitting in the front row of the ride were among those most seriously hurt when their carriage hit a stationary carriage. Vicky Balch, 20, from Lancashire, had six rounds of surgery in a bid to save her leg before needing an amputation. Leah Washington, 17, from Barnsley, also had one of her legs amputated, while her 18-year-old boyfriend, Joe Pugh, shattered his knees. Daniel Thorpe, 27, from Buxton, Derbyshire, was treated for a collapsed lung and leg injuries. The fifth person, Chanda Chauhan, 49, from Wednesbury, underwent surgery after suffering internal injuries. The owner of the attraction is to be prosecuted over the crash. Merlin Attractions Operation Ltd will appear at North Staffordshire Justice Centre on 22 April, the Health and Safety Executive announced last week. The visitors totalled 118 but in reply the Warriors were 10 for the loss of three wickets before Johnny Thompson and Andy McBrine came to the rescue with a fourth-wicket partnership of 65. The holders Leinster Lightning are firmly at the top of the Inter-Pro table following a 59-run win over Munster Reds at Merrion. They have now won all three games while Knights and Warriors have one win each. Lightning were put in to bat and took full advantage with Simi Singh scoring 109 from 53 balls while Max Sorensen was even better with an undefeated 98 off 44. Victorino Chua, 49, denies murdering three patients and poisoning 18 others at Stepping Hill Hospital, Greater Manchester between 2011 and 2012. The handwritten document was found in his kitchen after his arrest in 2012. The letter read it was "the bitter nurse confession" and he had been prescribed sleeping tablets and anti-depressants. Manchester Crown Court heard that the defendant told police he wrote the letter after a counselling session in which he was told to write down his feelings as an outlet for his frustrations. In the letter, the nurse says he is writing it in case something happens to him and so people can "work out how an angel turn to an evil person". The father-of-two ended the 13-page document by writing: "Still inside of me I can feel the anger that any time it will explode just still hanging on can still control it but if I will be pushed they gonna be sorry." He added: "The bitter nurse confession. Got lots to tell but I just take it to my grave." Mr Chua, of Churchill Street, Stockport, is charged with killing Tracey Arden, 44, Arnold Lancaster, 71, and Alfred Weaver, 83. He is alleged to have killed his victims by secretly injecting insulin into saline bags. He has pleaded not guilty to a total of 37 charges, including 25 counts of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent, eight counts of attempting to administer poison and one count of administering poison. The alleged offences happened between June 2011 and January 2012. The trial continues. Claridge, who played more than 1,000 senior games before retiring in 2012, started the 3-0 defeat by Portsmouth. He came in as there was a player shortage against the League One side, with two on holiday. "Thanks everybody who came today, Salisbury and Pompey, don't suppose there's four of you who could carry me upstairs to bed is there?" he tweeted. The former Leicester City, Portsmouth and Millwall striker began his professional playing career at Bournemouth in 1984. He went on to manage Pompey, Millwall and Weymouth. The Wiltshire side are the 23rd team the BBC Sport pundit has played for. Claridge said he could not have asked for any more from his eighth-tier side as they took on last season's League Two champions. "I did what I had to because there were no other options than this, but it wasn't about me," Claridge told BBC Radio Solent. The pupil collapsed at the Al Hijrah School in Bordesley Green, Birmingham, at about 14:20 GMT on Friday. He died at nearby Heartlands Hospital. Police said they are working with the school and Birmingham City Council to establish the circumstances surrounding his death. A post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out soon. Colin Diamond, executive director for education at Birmingham City Council, said the school was "doing all it can to support the family through this terrible time". Brigid Jones, the city council's cabinet member for children, families and schools, said on Twitter: "My thoughts are with the family of the young man who tragically died following an incident at school yesterday." Fittingly, he used 22 different pens to sign the document - now more nattily nicknamed "Obamacare". It continued a long-held American tradition that sees the pens used to sign historic documents donated as thank-you gifts. The more pens used, the more gifts can be made. President Lyndon Johnson reportedly used more than 75 pens to sign the landmark Civil Rights Act in 1964. One, an Esterbrook, was given to Martin Luther King Jr. And these pens can give us a tangible slice of history. For example, the Parker Duofold Big Red used by General Douglas MacArthur to sign a surrender document aboard USS Missouri - effectively signalling the end of the Second World War - is now proudly displayed at the Cheshire Military Museum in Chester. But is this where ink pens and hand-written signatures now belong - in museums? On 1 July 2016, the European Union implemented new rules for electronic signatures, giving them the same legal weight as their "wet" - or ink-based - written counterparts. The new eIDAS (European Identity and Trust Services) regulation has effectively put an end to a confusing patchwork of laws, making them consistent across every EU country. So why has it taken so long? After all, the idea of a digital signature or certificate that proves you are who you say you are has been around for many years. Businesses have been slow to adopt electronic signatures because "until now, there has been no legal framework or regulation which properly defines them," argues Mark Greenaway, director of digital media at software firm Adobe. Such confusion has fuelled scepticism. "The technology has been around for a while, but adoption in the UK is now commencing because people are starting to believe in it," says Richard Croft, chief communications officer at software company Legalesign. The inability to prove online identity and authenticate documents has always been something of an Achilles heel for the internet. But a number of different technologies have emerged to tackle this. In Estonia, for example, every resident over the age of 15 has an ID card protected by a personal identification number and containing a digital signature. This enables them to access government services, digitally sign documents, and vote electronically in parliamentary elections. They can do this on their smartphones, too. Around 170,000 people voted digitally last year. "I'd rather not spend precious time on administration," says Anna Piperal, managing director of e-Estonia Showroom at Enterprise Estonia. "There is no value in that." But even without paper to shuffle and ink to dry, such pragmatism doesn't mean the end of face-to-face communication. "We still like to meet and talk, discuss, but not sign papers in stacks and spend a fortune printing and scanning," she says. It is little wonder that 2% of Estonia's GDP [gross domestic product] is saved every year as a result of digital signatures. "It makes business administration easy," she says. "For example, you can start a company in just 18 minutes." And Legalesign has just launched an online witness product, enabling business people to sign contracts by typing their name, signing with a mouse or uploading their signature. The signature is made in the presence of a witness, and the ID of the signatory is verified over email. The final document is tamper-proofed using an encrypted digital certificate. The problem with written signatures - even those signed with a beautiful pen and a practised flourish - is that they can be forged. "A [written] signature is simply weak evidence that somebody agreed to do something," says Jon Geater, chief technology officer at Thales e-security. "It is not exactly unique or special, nor does it prove particularly well that a person was genuinely present or consenting." Digital counterparts, on the other hand, whether using blockchain technology, which relies on a consensus agreement before verifying a signature, or password-based digital signatures, do away with this uncertainty. "Modern digital technology provides considerably greater assurance that a piece of information was genuinely approved or agreed," says Mr Geater. This enables business relationships to be "described, enforced and verified without the unnecessary involvement of superfluous middlemen, and with much greater levels of proof," he says. Ron Hirson, chief product officer at US-based tech firm DocuSign, agrees, saying: "The benefits of digital business are outweighing the nostalgia of the hand-written signature." But while describing written signatures unstintingly as "extremely primitive", Mr Croft does accept that digital versions lack theatre. "Viewing the Magna Carta in person holds a certain magic. In a couple of generations time, the idea of inspecting a certified digital copy of the Great Repeal Bill signed with Her Majesty's encryption code might not be the same crowd-puller," he admits. And some of the world's biggest businesses rely on the ritual of putting pen to paper to please the crowd. "Take Zlatan Ibrahimovic signing for Manchester United this summer," says Dr John Curran, a business anthropologist and founder of research firm JC Innovation and Strategy. "It goes way beyond the signing of a lucrative contract. The ceremonial nature enables the club, as a brand, to display its intent for success, whereas for the fans, it satisfies their need that their team is developing." And we certainly don't seem to be losing our love of pens. In the US, traditional pen retail sales were up 4% in 2016 compared with 2015, according to the NPD Group. "People still want that status or 'lifestyle piece' for important and meaningful signatures, like buying a house," says NPD analyst Leen Nsouli. That said, you might think twice before buying the latest luxury piece from Swiss company Caran d'Ache, which recently collaborated with watch and timepiece brand MB&F to create its limited edition Astrograph pen. It contains 99 components and is a snip at just under £20,000. Follow Technology of Business editor Matthew Wall on Twitter Click here for more Technology of Business features In 2015 Ahmed Mohamed was arrested in a suburb of Dallas, Texas, after his teacher said the clock looked like an explosive device. Photos of the 14-year-old's arrest sparked a public outcry. But on Thursday a Texas judge ruled there was no evidence of racial or religious discrimination. "Plaintiff does not allege any facts from which this court can reasonably infer" that Irving Independent School District employees "intentionally discriminated" against Ahmed Mohamed, wrote US District Judge Sam Lindsay in his ruling. He also dismissed a complaint against the school principal saying it was "factually deficient" to allege that Ahmed was treated "differently than other similarly situated students, and that the unequal treatment was based on religion or race". Ahmed, whom US media dubbed "clock boy", was originally charged with having a "hoax bomb" after he brought the digital clock display in a small briefcase to the classroom at MacArthur High School in Irving. But those charges were later dropped. The family's lawyer, Susan Hutchison, said when their lawsuit was first filed: "They knew it wasn't a bomb, that he never threatened anyone, that he never said it was a bomb, that he never alarmed anyone. "Despite all of those things, they yanked him out of his chair, put him in handcuffs and arrested him. There was no cause for arrest." #IStandWithAhmed trended on Twitter after the arrest and the teenager was invited to an astronomy event at the White House where he spoke to then-President Barack Obama. Shortly after the incident, the boy's family moved to Qatar, before moving back to Texas a few months later. The female attacker made off with the bag on the footpath between Crimon Place at St Mary's Cathedral and Huntly Street on Monday at about 15:00. The assailant was described as white, in her mid-20s, 5ft 3in to 5ft 6in tall, and slim. She had red/ginger hair tied back in a ponytail and spoke with a local accent. She was wearing a green jacket, blue jeans with holes in both knees, and ankle boots. Det Sgt Jamie Sherlock said: "This is an attack on a lone woman who had been at the shops in Aberdeen. She was pulled to the ground in the incident and had her bag its contents taken from her. "We are appealing for anyone who recognises the description given and saw the woman in the area to contact us as soon as possible." The appointment follows the departure of Chris Weston, who announced he was leaving British Gas to join Aggreko last May. Mr Hodges joins British Gas from specialist insurance broker, Towergate. He will take on his responsibilities from 1 June, and will also join the Centrica board. Mr Hodges was a senior executive as Aviva for 20 years before leaving to become chief executive of Towergate in 2011. He will be paid basic salary of £625,000 and received a bonus of up to 100% of salary if all performance targets are met. But he could receive a bonus worth 200% of his basic salary if he exceeds those performance targets. One-time leader of the Liberal Democrats, Sir Menzies Campbell, will take his seat alongside party colleague Sir Malcolm Bruce. Former Labour chancellor and head of the pro-Union Better Together campaign, Alistair Darling, will also be entering the House of Lords. Entrepreneur Michelle Mone has also become one of the 45 new members. In all, Prime Minister David Cameron handed out peerages to 26 Conservatives, including former foreign secretary William Hague. Also on the Tory leader's list was Ms Mone whom he recently appointed to carry out a review into how best to encourage start-ups in areas of high unemployment. Labour nominated two women and six men, including Mr Darling. Sir Menzies and Sir Malcolm are among the seven Lib Dem MPs who were nominated by their party. Former Lib Dem ministers Vince Cable and Danny Alexander, who both lost their seats at the general election, are thought to have turned down the chance to enter the Lords. Marc Cole, aged 30, from Falmouth, Cornwall, had self-inflicted knife injuries when he died on 23 May. His brother Danny Cole told The Falmouth Packet the dad-of-two had not been trying to kill himself when police were called. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating his death and has appealed for witnesses. "He was well respected in the area and I have had over 400 messages from people - everyone knew my brother," Mr Cole said. Painter and decorator Marc leaves behind his partner Nadine Kinder and their two sons Caden, aged three, and Caleb, who is nearly one. "He worshipped them, they were his life," Mr Cole said. Marc had cared for his father John, who died last year, during a two-year battle with cancer. Best friend Charlie Black said: "He was the most loyal person I have ever met. He would always help, he had a heart of gold." Mr Cole said: "He was not out to hurt anyone or himself. He had some personal problems that came to a head that day but he wouldn't have hurt anyone." Police said "officers were confronted with a man who was in possession of a knife". "Due to the unfolding dynamic incident, police deployed a Taser." An IPCC statement said: "Initial accounts indicate Marc Cole, 30, had caused himself harm and he was taken to hospital where he subsequently died. "During the incident, a Taser was discharged. " The city council elected as mayor Herman Mashaba from the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA). The ANC had run the city since the fall of apartheid more than 20 years ago. It lost its council majority in local elections, although it is still the largest party. The party has also lost control of the capital Pretoria and Cape Town. The end of racial politics? Testing times for South Africa's ANC It follows local elections earlier this month that produced no outright winner in most districts, resulting in hung municipalities and forcing parties to form coalitions to govern. Of the country's six biggest cities, the ANC only won an outright majority in Durban, seen as a stronghold for South African President Jacob Zuma. There was drama at Monday's Johannesburg council meeting, which lasted 11 hours. A scuffle broke out between opposition party members and electoral commission officials and an ANC councillor who was sworn in earlier in the day collapsed and died shortly after Mr Mashaba was elected. The ANC had won 44.5% of the vote, more than the DA's 38.4%. But the left-wing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) with 11% found itself in the position of kingmaker and refused to give its votes to the ANC. Analysis: Milton Nkosi, BBC Africa, Johannesburg The election of the Democratic Alliance's Herman Mashaba as mayor of Johannesburg represents a tectonic shift in South African politics. This is the first time since the end of apartheid that the ANC lost control of the city of gold, as Johannesburg is known locally. The Johannesburg wing of the ANC is known within the party to be professional and not corrupt. However, voters still punished it for the litany of corruption scandals the ANC has been involved in at a national level. And there were some local problems, including potholed roads, a shambolic electricity billing system and refuse strikes that left the city filthy. What has happened in Johannesburg is a microcosm of what could happen nationally come the general election in 2019. Mr Mashaba, a 56-year-old businessman, has promised to reform the city administration. "As of this evening, corruption is declared public enemy number one in this city," he told cheering supporters. "Public monies that have been misspent, misused, over the last five, 10 years or so ... we're going to take this money, we're going to look after it, so that we can provide basic services to our people." Mr Mashaba also pledged to tackle unemployment. "Over 800,000 of our residents, one-in-three, are today unemployed. We need to address this and we need to address this as a matter of urgency." Once the usual formalities were complete after the 1-1 draw that sent Liverpool into the last eight of the Europa League with a 3-1 aggregate win over United, Klopp went to salute the travelling fans as Van Gaal strode towards the tunnel at the Stretford End. It was symbolic of the current trajectory of these two fierce old adversaries under their respective managers and underlined by the performances of Manchester United and Liverpool in their first European meeting. Klopp, on the evidence of these two Europa League legs, has built a Liverpool team more in his own image and likeness in six months than Van Gaal has managed in two years at Manchester United. Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool, while not at their best at Old Trafford, have demonstrated an intensity and work-rate that reflects their manager's personality and what he regards as the trademark of his teams - namely a mixture of attacking intent and the "Gegenpressing" style. In other words, you can see Klopp's imprint on how Liverpool go about their work, even though he has only been at Anfield since early October. Liverpool's graph is on an upward curve. United are a team on the drift, without personality or direction. If Van Gaal is stamping his personality on the side, it is almost impossible to detect. This was not a bad performance but one that came too late after the dismal display at Anfield last Thursday. Van Gaal may have declared his pride in his team's efforts but over the two games Liverpool thoroughly deserved to progress. United are seemingly no nearer a firm tactical template than they were when Van Gaal arrived. Once Philippe Coutinho equalised on the night with the away goal that left United requiring three second-half goals, the tie was over. United's spirit was willing, especially in the shape of youngsters Antony Martial and Marcus Rashford, but there is no surge of old in this team. Once the Brazilian's goal went in there was no sense inside Old Trafford for a single second that a comeback from days gone by would ensure. And it did not. As United became increasingly desperate, the cavalry consisted of Matteo Darmian coming on for Marcos Rojo after 62 minutes, following the introduction of Antonio Valencia for the struggling Guillermo Varela at half-time. One veteran was swapped for another when Bastian Schweinsteiger replaced Michael Carrick late on. Memphis Depay was not trusted and it was a reflection of United's current state that attacking options were so limited. Liverpool's supporters left shrouded in red smoke from flares and a growing optimism that, in the charismatic Klopp, they matter again and have found the perfect personality to take them forward. Liverpool play like a Klopp team, which is an ideal platform for progress. United have no discernible personality or clear direction. Liverpool have a manager in for the long haul accompanied by a feel-good factor. United have a manager many believe will not be at Old Trafford beyond the end of this season - and the uncertainty is plain to see. Klopp's heart-on-the-sleeve management style, a whirlwind of activity and emotion in his technical area, is the polar opposite to Van Gaal's rule by clipboard from his seat in the dugout. And the German already seems to be carrying his players with him in a manner that has eluded Van Gaal in almost two seasons at Old Trafford. There is a close bond between Klopp and his squad that has never existed, perhaps deliberately, with Van Gaal and United's team. Liverpool's Roberto Firmino, a £29m signing from Hoffenheim who is flourishing with Klopp after early struggles under Brendan Rodgers, summed up the manager's approach. He said: "He is the best manager I have ever worked with. I don't say that because he picks me all of the time. It's because of his mentality and personality. He gives confidence to all of the players. He knows what your potential is, so he always says just one or two words to give you confidence and show trust." Players like Firmino and Coutinho have bought into Klopp's approach and the German has also established an instant connection with Liverpool's fans. United, in contrast, seem stuck and no-one is more stuck than Marouane Fellaini. He is now almost the symbol of where it started to go wrong after the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, when the ill-fated David Moyes was tempted to pay £27.5m for the 28-year-old midfielder he managed at Everton. Unloved by the crowd - Old Trafford resounded to some of the loudest cheers of the day when his number came up to be substituted in the FA Cup quarter-final against West Ham United on Sunday - and struggling desperately to find any form, it is painful to watch. It is certainly painful for those playing against him. Fellaini was fortunate to escape punishment for elbowing Emre Can at the end of the first leg, he was at it again when he flailed and felled Dejan Lovren here. He is a disciplinary liability and a tactical millstone - his presence too often an excuse to resort to aimless long balls. Referee Milorad Mazic was generous with a yellow card when he flattened Lovren - it might almost have been a mercy sending-off had he produced red. United's targets now are a place in the Premier League's top four and winning the FA Cup, with a testing quarter-final replay at West Ham to come. Will it be enough to spare Van Gaal? And how many of United's squad would survive further failure after the blow of falling to Liverpool in the first European meeting between the clubs? Van Gaal's reign is rolling along at a pedestrian pace and any finish outside the top four would surely be fatal for his chances of seeing out the final season of his contract. Goalkeeper David de Gea is world class and must be the focal point of United's future. They must hope Real Madrid do not come calling again. Chris Smalling will be crucial, while Cameron Bortwick-Jackson has shown real promise at full back. Luke Shaw will also surely fulfil his outstanding promise at left-back when he completes his recovery from a broken leg. In midfield there must be long-term doubts over 34-year-old Michael Carrick, while Schweinsteiger is hardly one or the future. Would another manager get more out of Morgan Schneiderlin, who has struggled since his £24m move from Southampton last summer? The picture looks bright in attack with 18-year-old Rashford and Martial, 20, while United will hope Adnan Januzaj can rediscover his youthful promise. As for Memphis Depay, left kicking his heels against Liverpool on Thursday, United must hope his poor performances this season can be attributed to a bedding-in period and the best will be seen next term. And for all the doubts expressed, Wayne Rooney's absence with a knee injury has shown, especially when United went down without a fight at Anfield, how important he remains. These are times of flux at Old Trafford and a loss over two legs to Liverpool only brings that into sharper relief. Liverpool's season is alive with positivity - through to the Europa League quarter-finals and only seven points off Manchester City in fourth place in the Premier League with a game in hand. This victory will only enhance the growing confidence under Klopp and the belief that this season could yet end in something special. United still have hopes of a trophy in the FA Cup but Van Gaal admits they need to beat Manchester City in Sunday's derby at Etihad Stadium to keep that Champions League momentum going. As the final whistle blew at Old Trafford, it was Liverpool and Klopp with the momentum while Van Gaal and United faced an uncertain future with fragile confidence. The photos were released in response to a freedom of information request by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The images show mainly bruises and cuts on prisoners' arms and legs. The abuse scandal erupted in 2004 when shocking photos emerged of US soldiers appearing to sexually humiliate and torture detainees in Iraq's Abu Ghraib. None of the photos released on Friday involved detainees held in Abu Ghraib or at the US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Pentagon said. A Pentagon spokesman said the photos had "come from independent criminal investigations into allegations of misconduct by US personnel". About 14 of the allegations were substantiated - leading to the disciplining of 65 service personnel, ranging from letters of reprimand to life imprisonment. About 42 allegations were unsubstantiated, the spokesman said. The ACLU has been fighting for more than a decade for the release of what it says are 2,000 photos documenting abuse at US detention centres. It said it would continue to fight for publication of the remaining 1,800. "The still-secret pictures are the best evidence of the serious abuses that took place in military detention centers," ACLU deputy legal director Jameel Jaffer said in a statement. "The government's selective disclosure risks misleading the public about the true extent of the abuse." The Obama administration had agreed to release the photos back in 2009, but then changed its mind saying to do so "was of no benefit" and could inflame opinion against the US. The Exiles face Darren Ferguson's side at the Keepmoat Stadium on Saturday with Rovers having not lost at home this term. "He's got a fantastic team and they are one of the biggest hitters in the league," Feeney told BBC Wales Sport. "It's going to be tough as they've got some fantastic players but we've got to be confident in our own ability." Rovers are fourth in League Two while Newport have won just once on the road in all competitions this season and Feeney knows the task ahead of his side. "We know it's going to be a very big ask. They're a fantastic club. Not long ago they were in the Championship," he continued. "It's a great game for us to go into it's one that we can go into and play to our strengths." Summer signing Jon Parkin scored twice in Newport's 2-2 draw against Cheltenham Town and Feeney thinks the 34-year-old has answered his critics. "People questioned me when I signed him in the summer as he's 34 and been playing in non-league and they talk about his size but he was that size when he played in the Premier League," Feeney added. "He's a big morale booster and not just on the pitch but he's fantastic for the team. He's great around the place, he's bubbly but he works hard." Media playback is not supported on this device Yorkshire's Pidcock beat compatriot Dan Tulett by 38 seconds, with Ben Turner completing the podium places. They had to overcome difficult conditions as snow, ice and mud added to an already tricky course. Evie Richards, another Briton and the defending champion, took bronze in the women's under-23 race. Richards said she was delighted to get another medal. "I know it's not a gold medal but it means a lot," she said. "Any medal - and being on that podium - is amazing." Pidcock, meanwhile, told BBC Sport: "It's the best day of my life. "It's historic. To share it with these two as well is amazing. "Support for cyclo-cross in Britain is low. Hopefully this will change that and get more people out on cross bikes." Britain's highest finisher in the women's elite race was Nikki Brammeier, who was ninth. This event is the 68th Cyclo-Cross World Championships, and 30,000 spectators are expected to attend the event in Bieles, Luxembourg.

England took the lead in this Group A encounter after 53 minutes when Lewis Cook's 25-yard effort found the back of the net. But a comical own goal from Fikayo Tomori saw the two sides share the points. Unaware that goalkeeper Dean Henderson had strayed from his goal, Tomori, who is owned by Chelsea, played a blind back-pass which rolled into an empty net. It was Guinea's first ever under-20 World Cup goal. The African side missed a glorious opportunity to take all three points when Alseny Soumah found himself clean through but was denied by Henderson. The English have four points from two matches and will next face the South Koreans on Friday. Guinea will face Argentina.

The 33-year-old returns for another year in the British Superbike Championship after last season's second-placed finish to Shane Byrne. Haslam said: "I had some interesting options but I know we are going to be battling for wins and a title. "I believe in Kawasaki and this second year will put us in a stronger position than when we started out last season." Haslam had nine race wins and a further six podium finishes last season, as the fight for the title went down to the final round. Pete Extance, Bournemouth Kawasaki team owner, said: "We have had an amazing time in the BSB [British Superbike] paddock so far, but it's now reached a pinnacle point in my team's BSB journey. "Now it has got very serious with the introduction of Leon and retaining Luke [Mossey] in the official Kawasaki UK team, and realising we have a real chance of challenging for the title along with race wins and podiums every weekend."

Derbyshire's Leon Haslam has signed a new deal for 2017 with Kawasaki Motors UK and the Bournemouth Kawasaki team.

Media playback is not supported on this device Guardiola said he had been "comfortable" at Bayern Munich, but wanted another test in his career. The Spaniard, 45, also admitted he had "absolutely everything" at Barcelona. When asked if he could play beautiful football in the tiki-taka style made famous at Barcelona, Guardiola said: "That's why I'm here." Speaking to the English press for the first time since taking over at City, he added: "I never played on a Boxing Day. I have never been to a stadium where it is windy and freezing and the pitch is not good. "It's a target for me. I'm here to prove myself and prove I can play [the same way]." Guardiola, who referenced Sunderland manager "Big Sam" Allardyce as one of the contrasts of the English game to football in Spain and Germany, said what he wants from his players is "simple". "When we have the ball, we want them to move it as quick as possible and create as many chances as possible," added the former Barcelona player, who denied this will be his toughest managerial test yet. "I am just focusing on my players and what they have to do on the pitch, which is why I decided to come here. "In the Champions League with Barcelona and Bayern Munich we came to England a lot and we always thought 'wow'. It's a target for me and a personal ambition of mine to prove myself here." Guardiola, who began his managerial career with Barcelona B, said he is impressed with City's facilities and is keen to work with the club's young players. However, he has told the senior squad at the Etihad he is "counting on them all" - including captain Vincent Kompany and former Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure. "I love to work with young players," he added. "Having worked here one week, I'm really impressed with their quality. "My dream for Kompany is for him to be fit. He's a magnificent defender, but when I spoke to him I said just focus on your body. "We're going to try and be more consistent in our game. Maybe we're not going to win every day. But we are going to try." City start their Premier League campaign at home to Sunderland on 13 August. Greg Duffy accused Tony Fadell of "insulting" Dropcam employees who had joined Nest as part of the takeover. He also suggested Mr Fadell had "fetishised" some of the worst traits of Apple's Steve Jobs. Neither Nest nor its owner Alphabet - Google's parent - have responded. But in an interview published by the Information news site last week, Mr Fadell was quoted as saying: "A lot of [Dropcam's] employees were not as good as we hoped. It was a very small team and unfortunately it wasn't a very experienced team." The article said Nest later clarified that this only referred to Dropcam employees who had left the business following the merger. Mr Duffy is among their number. One expert called the affair "embarrassing". "American corporates are usually surprisingly discreet and manage to keep grief hidden behind their walls," commented Matthew Gwyther, editor of Management Today. "You've obviously got an enormous personality ego clash between the two men. "But I bet this kind of thing is far more common than we normally hear." Mr Duffy said he posted his thoughts to Medium's site to "set the record straight". "The 50 Dropcam employees who resigned did so because they felt their ability to build great products being totally crushed," he said. "All of us have worked at big companies before, where it is harder to move fast. But this is something different, as evidenced by the continued lack of output from the currently 1,200-person team and its virtually unlimited budget. "According to LinkedIn, total attrition to date at Nest amounts to nearly 500 people, which suggests that we were not alone in our frustrations." He also challenged Mr Fadell to publish Nest's accounts to reveal how well its internet cameras were faring compared to its smart thermostats and net-connected smoke alarms. And he attacked Mr Fadell's management style. "The current leadership of Nest... seems to be fetishising only the most superfluous and negative traits of their mentors. For the sake of the customers and for the talented employees that remain there, I hope they find a way through these struggles." This appears to be a reference to Mr Fadell's time working alongside Apple's late chief executive Steve Jobs. The two - along with others - developed first the iPod and then the iPhone. "I've built a lot of my success off finding these truly gifted people and not settling for B and C players, but really going for the A players," Mr Jobs said in an interview. Apple's co-founder famously added that settling for B players risked creating a "bozo explosion... that kind of company never ever succeeds". According to the Information, Mr Fadell and Mr Duffy repeatedly clashed in the brief time they worked together. Mr Fadell recalls telling Mr Duffy he had not "earned" the right to report directly to him. In turn, Mr Duffy says he told Nest's co-founder that he was running the division like "a tyrant bureaucrat". It is also reported that Mr Duffy tried and failed to convince Alphabet's chief executive Larry Page to sack Mr Fadell and let him take charge. Mr Duffy says he now thinks it was a "mistake" to have sold his firm to Nest for $555m (£385m). "Larry Page is said to be a friend of Fadell, but he would do very well to stay completely out of it," remarked Mr Gwyther. "It looks terrible to appear to be taking sides against people in your organisation. "But the wider affair is a reflection of the incredibly high expectations that there are of these tech companies - that you think stuff will happen very quickly and work pretty fast. "But it's a reminder that it's not always straightforward, and there can be stumbles along the way when trying to create new products." The 29-year-old DR Congo centre-back made 252 appearances in two spells, having initially joined Posh in 2008. Fellow defenders Shaun Brisley and Andrew Fox and strikers Souleymane Coulibaly, Kyle Vassell and Jack Friend have also left the club. South Africa left-back Kgosi Ntlhe is available for a move after rejecting two contract offers. Director of football Barry Fry said: "I would especially like to thank Gabi Zakuani, who has been a magnificent servant both on and off the pitch to Peterborough United. "I would like to wish him every success in furthering his career. I am sure he will have plenty of options." Ben Alnwick, Harry Anderson, Dion-Curtis Henry, Erhun Oztumer, Jack Payne, Ricardo Santos, Michael Smith and Jon Taylor are all entering the final year of their contracts. Posh's club policy is to transfer-list players in those circumstances, but, if Graham Westley's replacement as manager wants any or all of the eight players to have an extension, then negotiations will take place. After his extradition, he appeared in court in New York, where he pleaded not guilty. He was among seven officials from world football's governing body, Fifa, who were arrested in Switzerland in May. He is accused of taking bribes worth millions of dollars from sports marketing companies in connection with the Copa America and Copa do Brasil. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison. The Swiss authorities say he was accompanied by US police officers on a flight from Zurich to New York. The US has indicted a total of 14 current and former Fifa officials and associates on charges of "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted" corruption following a major inquiry by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Fifa's President, Sepp Blatter, has always denied any wrongdoing - but in September, he too was made the subject of a Swiss criminal investigation, launched alongside the US inquiry. In an interview with the newspaper al-Hayat, Mr Brahimi warned of a scenario in which warlords and militia filled a void left by a collapsed state. Somalia has been without an effective central government since 1991. Meanwhile, the UK said it would support offering President Bashar al-Assad a safe exit if it ended the bloodshed. Prime Minister David Cameron told al-Arabiya TV that the international community should consider anything "to get that man out of the country". But he also said he would favour Mr Assad "facing the full force of international law and justice for what he has done". Mr Brahimi, who succeeded Kofi Annan as the international envoy to Syria in August, spoke to al-Hayat a week after the failure of the four-day ceasefire he brokered to coincide with the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha. In the interview, the Algerian diplomat played down the risk of sectarian and ethnic partition - which some observers have suggested could see President Assad's powerful Alawite minority forming a state in Syria's north-east - warning that the country faced something worse. "People are talking about the risk of partition in Syria. I do not see partition," Mr Brahimi said. "I believe that if this issue is not dealt with correctly, the danger is 'Somalisation' and not partition - the collapse of the state and the emergence of warlords, militias and fighting groups," he added. Years of fighting in Somalia between rival clans and warlords, and an inability to deal with famine and disease, have led to the deaths of up to a million people since President Siad Barre was toppled in 1991. Mr Brahimi said he was seeking a binding resolution from the UN Security Council based on the guidelines for a political transition which were agreed in Geneva in June by the so-called Action Group for Syria. "Everyone must face a bitter, difficult and scary truth: that this type of crisis - if not dealt with correctly day by day - can go on for a year, two years and more," he said. "I hope that it doesn't go on for this period, and it might not if everyone inside and outside [Syria] does what he should." On Tuesday, clashes, shelling, explosions and air raids were reported in different parts of Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based activist group, said seven people had been killed by government air raids in the Houla region of Homs province, and that eight people had died after troops shelled the town of Saraqeb in Idlib province. Seven civilians were also killed when warplanes bombed the south-eastern Damascus suburb of Kafarbatna, it added. Later, there was a bomb explosion in the Waroud area of Qudsaya, a north-western suburb of the capital populated mostly by Alawites. The SOHR said at least 10 civilians had been killed and more than 40 wounded when three devices were detonated. The official Sana news agency said several people had died. Earlier, Sana said Mohammed Osama Lahm, the brother of the speaker of the People's Assembly, had been shot dead in the Midan district. The Turkish state-run Anadolu news agency meanwhile said seven Syrian generals had been given refuge after being allowed to cross the border near the town of Reyhanli, in Hatay province. The generals have reportedly been sent to the nearby Apaydin refugee camp - a well-guarded facility built on farmland which houses other former Syrian army officers. Their identities and ranks were not released. In Jordan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held talks with Riad Hijab, a former Syrian prime minister who defected in August. He urged the opposition to abandon its precondition that the president had to step down before any peace talks can be held. Mr Hijab later told al-Arabiya that Russia was "searching for a political solution in which Bashar al-Assad stays". This, he said, was "impossible". Molly Rose delivered 486 aircraft, including 273 Spitfires, after joining the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in 1942. About 170 women were part of the ATA, which flew aircraft from factories to the RAF. Ms Rose died last month while on vacation in Scotland, aged 95. Her service was held in Bampton. She was born in Cambridge in 1920 and learned to fly at 17 having left school and joined her family's motoring business based at an airfield. Her son Graham Rose said: "Very often they would be getting into a particular aircraft for the first time. "She did love it, there is no doubt, and she did it very well, she only crash-landed once. "There was engine failure, she was up in Shropshire... went into a bit of a spin... and there was some poor farmer who was ploughing the field who got a mighty shock." On a visit to RAF Brize Norton in 2013, Ms Rose said: "It was much more interesting in my day because one was entirely in control of the airplane. "They do not really fly it these days - it's all computers." Mr Rose said his mother did not talk about the work until Giles Wittell wrote the book Spitfire Women, but later she appeared on a number of programmes about it and was a guest judge in The Great British Menu in 2014. After the war she settled in Oxford with her husband Bernard and became a magistrate. She was appointed deputy lieutenant for Oxfordshire in 1983 and was awarded an OBE for services to Oxfordshire in 1990. Mr Rose said the service at St Mary's Church was a "celebration". Coleman, appointed in 2012, has held tentative talks about a new contract. But with Wales top of Group B ahead of September's double-header against Cyprus and Israel, the 45-year-old is waiting until qualification is secured. "If that happens - and I believe it will - then we can sit down and talk about me signing a new contract," said Coleman. Wales' 1-0 win against Belgium in June has given them an excellent opportunity of qualifying for a first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup. Coleman's side are three points clear of second-placed Belgium in Group B, knowing that victories against Cyprus and Israel coupled with a failure from Bosnia-Herzegovina to win in Belgium would guarantee their passage to Euro 2016. Wales' recent success earned them top-seed status and a relatively favourable draw for their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign. It was after July's draw in St Petersburg where Coleman and the Football Association of Wales first broached the subject of a new contract. "We all went out for dinner while we were there and had a chat," said Coleman. "My reason for not wanting to get into negotiations about a new contract is because all I think about is doing this first part of the job, and that's qualifying for France. "Managing Wales, I've always said that is the biggest job I'll ever have. It's the biggest honour I'll ever have as a manager no matter what happens to me afterwards. "I don't want to give that up lightly - of course I don't. Nevertheless I still want to make sure we get this job done. "That means keeping our focus on this campaign and not worrying about the next one." The State Internet Information Office will take over responsibility from a number of lower-ranking directorates. The new set-up will enable the government to keep a tighter grip on the content available to Chinese internet-users inside the country. Beijing operates vast internet censorship, dubbed the "great firewall of China". Websites deemed sensitive by the government are routinely blocked. The Chinese government has put a lot of resources into controlling and censoring the internet content available to its citizens. Until now, the responsibility fell to the country's Information Office and quite a few other agencies across various government ministries. There was often in-fighting as each tried to wield power over what was allowed on the internet, from online games to politically sensitive content. The newly-created State Internet Information Office brings technical and political control over the internet under one body, with Information Minister Wang Chen in charge. This in effect gives his ministry more power than the other agencies involved. This indicates that online news and information, new media business and internet access will most likely come under tighter control, as the government clamps down on dissent following the Jasmine Revolution in the Middle East and north Africa. At the same time, the government hopes to use the internet to promote itself both at home and abroad. The incident happened on Townhall Street on Friday. The NI Ambulance Service (NIAS) said five people were taken to the South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen. The NIAS said the incident involved a car and four pedestrians - their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. William Prescott, whose wife owns a restaurant which is located close to the scene of the crash, described what had happened as a "freak accident" and said "everyone had been shocked". "I'm just happy and relieved that no-one was seriously injured or killed," he said. "The town was choc-a-bloc in the aftermath of the crash but the road has re-opened and things have returned to normal." Mr Prescott said a construction firm was currently working to board up the window of Boots. BBC News NI's Louise Cullen, who is at the scene, said a building control officer was at Boots assessing the damage. Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the accident to contact them. Townhall Street was closed for a time but has reopened. Officers recovered 40kg of cannabis resin, 1kg of cocaine and 25kg of a mixing agent used to cut it down in a County Tyrone lay-by on Saturday. They seized the drugs after observing a lorry and a car pull into the lay-by between Dungannon and Ballygawley. More drugs and cash were seized in follow-up searches. In Desertmartin, 11kg of cannabis resin and 3kg of herbal cannabis were found at a house. Searches at a number of properties in Cookstown led to £82,000 in cash being recovered. On Monday, three men appeared in court in Enniskillen - including a father and son - to face a number of drugs charges. Paul Joseph Currie, 53, from Limekiln Lane in Cookstown, faces three charges; Stephen Currie, 29, from Old Park Mews, Cookstown, and Darren William Fredrick Loughlin, 39, from Gortacar Road in Kesh, each face six charges. A detective told the court that police observed a lorry driven by Mr Loughlin that had arrived in Northern Ireland from Scotland by ferry on Saturday morning. They watched as the lorry pulled over in the Killymaddy tourist amenity near Ballygawley and a silver Peugeot car, driven by Stephen Currie, drove alongside. The detective told the court that drugs were removed from the cab of the lorry and placed in the boot of the car. At the same time police stopped Paul Currie after he left a property in Park Avenue in Cookstown. The detective told the court that £2,000 was found in his car and £80,000 in cash inside the property. It was also revealed that searches of a property at Luney Lane in Desertmartin, rented by Stephen Currie, had uncovered 11kg of cannabis resin, 3kg of herbal cannabis, a vacuum-pack machine, weighing scales and a grinder. He said police believed the three men were involved in bringing large quantities of drugs into Northern Ireland for distribution. The officer said that the 1kg of cocaine had a street value of about £60,000, but when cut with the 25kg of the mixing agent it would have a potential value of £1.5m. The 50kg of cannabis resin had a value of £500,000 and the 3kg of herbal cannabis £40,000, the detective added. When questioned at a Belfast police station, Paul and Stephen Currie gave "no comment" interviews. Mr Loughlin admitted that he had driven the lorry to Ballygawley, but denied any knowledge of the drugs, or his co-accused. His solicitor applied for bail and said that his family, who were in the court, were "shocked" that he had been arrested for this. He said he was married with three children and, as the main bread-winner, they were very concerned that they could lose their house. The judge said he was satisfied that there was sufficient evidence for him to be charged and he refused bail on the grounds of the risk of further offences. The judge said "anyone who involves themselves in the illegal possession and importation of drugs can expect to be dealt with vigorously by the courts, particularly given the value and quantities involved in this case". Mr Loughlin was remanded into custody until 7 December. Paul and Stephen Currie did not apply for bail, but their solicitor asked that they appear by videolink at Dungannon Court on Wednesday 16 November. Crews were called to an area of land near Concraig Gardens, Kingswells, at about 10:30 on Saturday. Three fire appliances and two specialist forestry units were at the scene at the height of the incident, using jets to tackle the blaze. The fire was extinguished by about 18:20. Its shares dived more than 14% after it said sales fell 0.4% in the run-up to Christmas and added full-year profits would be at the low end of forecasts. Next also warned that 2017 would be "another challenging year", and predicted a fall in profits. The news hit shares in other retailers, with M&S down 6.1% and Primark owner Associated British Foods dropping 3.7%. The falls weighed on the FTSE 100. The UK's benchmark index had closed at a record high on Tuesday, but spent most of the day in negative territory. However, at the close it was up 11.85 points to another record high at 7,189.74. Shares in housebuilders helped to bolster the index after upbeat comments from Deutsche Bank. Barratt Developments rose 4%, while Persimmon and Taylor Wimpey were 2.8% and 3.8% higher respectively. In the FTSE 250, B&M shares rose nearly 9.5% after the discount retailer reported a 7.2% increase in UK like-for-like sales in the three months to 24 December. On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.45% against the dollar to $1.2293 and slipped 0.29% against the euro to €1.1727. A new social media trend has kicked off in China, with thousands of netizens uploading photographs of themselves showing off their bodies and undertaking the challenge. Popular among many young female users on Weibo, the trending topic - which translates as "reaching your belly button from behind to show your good figure" - was mentioned more than 130m times among Weibo readers. It also spawned 104,000 active discussion threads, but has also led to concern about whether it's promoting an unhealthy body image. "Look! Success. More than four hours and I've finally reached my belly button," said Weibo user GayleRabbit. Another user remarked: "Whoa. Why does my belly button suddenly look and feel brand new?" While the trend was dominated by many female users on Weibo, a photo uploaded by a male blogger took the microblogging community by storm. "Is this trend really that difficult? I don't think so," said Weibo user Sough Sa. His photo showcasing his attempt at touching his belly button, drew 2,634 likes and was shared more than 8,452 times. It also drew more than 2,000 comments from other users on Weibo. "You go Buddha! Show the skinny girls how it's done," said one user. Weibo user MedicalCream Tang Zhao said: "Now you did it! So don't lose weight and please stay the same." "I always root for the underdog. Now I don't feel so inadequate about not being able to touch my belly button," said another user. "Does one need to have flexible arms? Or a skinny waist to pull this off?" asked Weibo user Chantilly623. But some experts argued that China's new belly button trend bordered on promoting eating disorders and "distorting" society's standards of beauty. "Quirky poses and pictures can be fun but sometimes they also become expressions of competitiveness or insecurity," said Jolene Tan, Programmes and Communications Senior Manager at Aware, a non-governmental organisation in Singapore championing women's rights. She also told the BBC that the trend seemed to be "one more way of scrutinising women's bodies to see whether they are 'good enough'". "We need to do more to promote acceptance of diversity in women's bodies." Up to 60% of homes on the 53-acre Mill development will be affordable housing. Funding for the scheme - where Arjo Wiggins paper mill once stood - is coming from the Welsh government and Principality Building Society. Economy Minister Edwina Hart said the plans would have a "considerable economic impact" on the region. Media playback is not supported on this device Clement became the Swans' third boss of the season after replacing Bob Bradley, who had been in charge after Francesco Guidolin was sacked in October. The club were bottom when Clement arrived but are now safe after Hull City lost at Crystal Palace on Sunday. The former Derby County boss has won 26 points from his 19 games in charge. If the Premier League table was only calculated from when Clement took over, the Swans would be seventh. Clement won manager of the month in January after winning three of his first five games in charge, but his side went six games without a win through March and April as they slipped back into a relegation battle. Wins against Stoke, Everton and Sunderland as well as a well-earned 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford helped turn their season around and helped them to safety. Meanwhile, title-winning Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino, Burnley boss Sean Dyche, West Bromwich Albion's Tony Pulis and Bournemouth's Eddie Howe have also been nominated for the award. Film-makers Harvey Weinstein and Shane Salerno announced they were making the changes to their film in a press release, Hollywood Reporter said. The film was released earlier this month, but it is unusual for a movie to be edited after it has hit cinemas. The new version is billed as a "special edition", the trade paper said. It replaced the original cut at the weekend as the film expanded into "more than 60 markets across the US" after its initial run in New York and Los Angeles. It added about 13 minutes of the original film were cut, while about eight minutes of new material was added, including "additional interview time with Joyce Maynard, who had a relationship with Salinger when she was 18 and he was 53". There also is new footage of the author and the overall film is said to be five minutes shorter. Hollywood Reporter said the original cut of the film "disappoints on many counts", adding "the picture ultimately turns out to be less revelatory than all the advance publicity promises". The Washington Post described it as "plodding and mostly pointless". "Broad yet shallow" is how Variety reviewed the movie, stating it was "difficult to get past the film's restless, ill-fittingly bombastic style". The documentary is being released at the same time as a new biography of Salinger, written by Salerno and David Shields, while the Weinstein Company is also developing a biopic about Salinger which will be written by Salerno. It will focus on the writer's life, from serving in World War II to the publication of Catcher in 1951. Salinger's only published novel, The Catcher in the Rye is a tale of teenage angst which has gone on to become one of the most influential American novels of the modern era. He followed it with a collection of short stories and several novellas but stopped publishing in 1965 and withdrew from public view. He is understood to have continued writing before his death in 2010. The drills, called Balikatan (Shoulder to Shoulder), take place every year. These exercises come a week after a military pact to increase the US troop presence in the country was signed. Visiting Manila last week, US President Barack Obama pledged "ironclad" backing for the Philippines, which is engaged in a maritime dispute with China. The two countries have competing claims over a number of islands and shoals in the South China Sea, such as Second Thomas Shoal and Scarborough Shoal. The South East Asian nation has asked a United Nations arbitration tribunal to rule on the issue. At Balikatan's opening ceremony, Filipino Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said it was necessary to deal with "aggressive" neighbours intent on "changing the status quo", without mentioning China. He said the 10-day drills would focus on maritime capabilities. They would also include live-fire and maritime surveillance exercises, the Philippine military said. Its public affairs office chief, Ramon Zagala, however, sought to play down Balikatan's significance, saying it was "not related to any current situation". Instead, it was aimed at improving "tactical-level military proficiency" and enhancing US-Filipino co-operation, he said. The military exercise would also focus on humanitarian assistance and disaster response. Military personnel from both countries will offer free medical, dental and veterinary care in Legazpi City, and build and repair infrastructure such as schools in Bicol. As tensions with China have grown, the US and the Philippines have moved to increase co-operation. Last week, Washington and Manila signed a deal allowing US troops better access to military bases, ports and airfields. This exercise comes amid reports China has sent more ships to an area disputed with the Philippines. Over the weekend, Philippine media reported the sighting of more Chinese vessels near Second Thomas Shoal, as the Philippine military air-dropped provisions to its troops stationed on a rusting vessel beached there. Meanwhile, Vietnam has protested against a plan by China to move its first deep-water drilling rig into an area which Vietnam claims as its territory. China's maritime safety authority announced on Saturday that the oil rig Haiyang Shiyou 981 would be drilling in an area located 120 nautical miles off the coast of Vietnam until 15 August. It prohibited ships from entering within one mile of the rig. On Sunday, Vietnam's foreign ministry spokesman Le Hai Binh insisted that this area belonged to them. Any activity by foreign countries conducted in Vietnam's waters without its permission would be considered "illegal and worthless" and would be "resolutely opposed" by Vietnam's government, he said. State oil and gas group PetroVietnam also sent a letter of objection to China's state-run oil company CNOOC, demanding they immediately pull out the rig. In response, China on Monday expanded the prohibited area to three miles. The Tonga international was already the oldest player to have pulled on a shirt in the Pro12 (Now Pro14) before accepting a new one year contract with the Wales region. He should overtake Brad Thorn's Aviva Premiership age record of 40 years and 109 days during the season, making him the oldest top-flight professional player in British rugby history. "I am happy with my contract and I think I have one last year," said Filise, before adding "But this is the last one, 40 is too old for this game!" Filise was born in Malapo, Tonga, on 26 May 1977 during the final years of Welsh rugby's golden era. After growing up in Tonga, he joined the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand and later the Auckland Blues Super Rugby side, where he played alongside former Cardiff Blues number eight Xavier Rush. His 29 Tonga appearances included the 2007 and 2011 Rugby World Cups before concentrating on the final part of his career in Wales. Filise has made a record 241 appearances for the Blues since his arrival from Bath in 2006, but he says his age doesn't cross his mind. "I didn't think about getting to 40, I just kept going every year," said Filise. "I feel my body is still fit. I have been fortunate on the injury front. I am just training harder and looking after the body. I still feel fresh to go." Age is clearly not an issue for Blues coach Danny Wilson either, with Filise's front-row colleague Matthew Rees - a relative novice at merely 36 - also among six players accepting contract extensions at the region. With prop and captain Gethin Jenkins also 36, this particular regional front-row will have a combined age of 112. Jenkins is recovering from minor knee surgery in the summer and will miss the start of the campaign but could soon be reunited with Filise and Rees. "I feel as if I am the same age (as Jenkins and Rees)," added Filise. "The young Blues props are also full of energy, but I try to compete with them. "I try and look after them because they are the future for the region. I am happy to be playing with them and know they are strong." Wilson insists Filise has earned his new contract on merit after a powerful end to the season typified by his outstanding performance against the Ospreys at Judgement Day at the Principality Stadium. "He is still doing a great job and playing well," said Wilson. "He is our most consistent scrummaging tight-head. "In some of the big high speed intensity games towards the end of last season he delivered really good performances. "We manage him in a certain way and make sure training-wise he does the required amount and no more. "He is in great nick and still making the test scores that are relevant to be a professional rugby player at this level. "He is a popular man in the squad and another part of his role is to impart that knowledge to some of those young props coming through our system." The Wicklow runner produced the second fastest time of her career with 31.30.74 which was just seven seconds outside of the bronze medal. David Gillick was unable to turn back the clock as he finished 22nd of the 23 runners in the 400m heats in Amsterdam. Gillick's time of 47.81 seconds was 1.37 outside his 2016 best. The 2009 world finalist retired from the sport two years ago after struggling for form since 2011. The 32-year-old will be in action in the relay over the weekend when he hopes to help Ireland achieve Olympic qualification. "It's great to be back here given where I've come from," continued the Irish 400m record holder. On lifetime bests, Fionnuala McCormack was third fastest of the hopefuls with her 31:29.22 clocking but was regarded as an outsider for a medal, yet defied expectations with a season's best time. It was another four-place finish, however, the same position she finished at the 2012 European Championships in Helsinki. Kenyan-born Yasemin Can, who took up Turkish citizenship 15 months ago, won gold in 31.12.86. Ireland's Tara Jameson finished in 14th place. Thomas Barr qualified for the semi-finals of the 400m hurdles with a season's best time of 50.17. The Waterford man was second fastest in the heats, with Slovakia's Martin Kucera quickest in 49.56. Barr's season has been affected by injury and the time is still some way off his national record of 48.65. Paul Byrne failed to qualify with a time of 53.12. Gillick's team-mate Brian Gregan did secure a semi-finals spot as he time of 47.02 left him 11th fastest as none of the competitors managed to duck under 46 seconds in the windy conditions. Gregan finished fifth in the heat won by Britain's Martyn Rooney (46.57) but the third Irish entrant Craig Lynch exited as clocking 47.61. In the women's 400m, Sinead Denny progressed after a third place in 53.95 saw her achieving automatic qualification but Claire Mooney exited following a 55.66 clocking which left her seventh in her heat. Siofra Cleirigh-Buttner finished 0.07 seconds outside of progressing to the next round of the 800m after an impressive senior championship debut, clocking 2.04.97. Northern Ireland's Olympic Games qualifiers Ciara Mageean and Kerry O'Flaherty will not open their Amsterdam challenges until Friday when Christine McMahon and Ben Reynolds will also be in action. Other Rio-bound Northern Ireland athletes Paul Pollock, Kevin Seaward and Breege Connolly will run in the half-marathon events on Sunday as part of an Irish squad which will also include North Belfast's Glady Ganiel. The ICC will analyse alleged crimes attributed to UK armed forces deployed in Iraq between 2003 and 2008. Attorney General Dominic Grieve said the government "completely rejects" the claim that UK forces were responsible for systematic abuse. This will be the first time the UK has been the subject of an ICC probe. The head of the military prosecution body in the UK, Andrew Cayley, said it would co-operate. But he said he believed it was unlikely that the ICC would push for a full, formal investigation, as the British government was already investigating claims of abuse in Iraq. By Jonathan BealeDefence correspondent, BBC News There'll be a mixture of emotions in government to today's news. There'll be anger, frustration as well as a sense of embarrassment. When Britain signed up to the International Criminal Court it would not have envisaged itself being the subject of any investigation - albeit the earliest "preliminary examination" stage. Britain joins the likes of Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, Guinea and Georgia. Even though this is not an ICC "formal investigation", at least yet, it's still a significant victory for the Human Rights Lawyer Phil Shiner and his firm Public Interest Lawyers. He's long argued that British forces were involved in the systematic abuse of Iraqis. He believes that mistreatment - some of which has been proven - was allowed by senior military officers and even ministers. In other words that it wasn't just a "few bad apples". The anger in the MOD and the military will be directed at Mr Shiner more than the ICC. They feel he's dragging the British military's reputation through the mud. The decision by ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to reopen the investigation, which was previously concluded in 2006, comes after a 250-page dossier of new information was submitted in January. The dossier was submitted by the British law firm Public Interest Lawyers - headed by human rights lawyer Phil Shiner, who has been involved in a number of high-profile cases of allegations of British military personnel mistreating detainees in Iraq - and the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights, based in Germany. It contained evidence of what they said was more than 400 cases of mistreatment or unlawful killings. Among those named in the file are former defence secretary Geoff Hoon and former armed forces minister Adam Ingram. The ICC in the Hague has jurisdiction over alleged crimes committed in Iraq by nationals of state parties under the Rome Statute. During the preliminary examination, the prosecutor will consider issues of jurisdiction, admissibility and the interests of justice to decide whether to open a full investigation. In a statement, the attorney general said he would co-operate fully with the ICC to demonstrate that "British justice is following its proper course". He said: "The government completely rejects the allegation that there was systematic abuse carried out by the British armed forces in Iraq. "British troops are some of the best in the world and we expect them to operate to the highest standards, in line with both domestic and international law. "In my experience the vast majority of our armed forces meet those expectations. Where allegations have been made that individuals may have broken those laws, they are being comprehensively investigated." Mr Grieve added that he believed the work of inquiry teams to be "independent, robust and meticulous", and with the resources they need to do the job properly. He said it was his job to ensure that continues to be the case. "As the minister responsible for overseeing the UK's prosecutors, I understand the importance of the ICC prosecutor following the proper legal procedures when complaints are made," Mr Grieve said. "The UK government has been, and remains a strong supporter of the ICC and I will provide the Office of the Prosecutor with whatever is necessary to demonstrate that British justice is following its proper course." According to the Statute of Rome, which established the ICC, the court may only intervene in cases where there is no effective investigation being carried out by the national authorities. Mr Cayley, director of the Service Prosecuting Authority, said an inquiry was already under way through the Iraq Historical Allegations Team (IHAT), which was set up in 2010. "If the ICC is satisfied that the United Kingdom is genuinely investigating these crimes, they will allow us to do that," Mr Cayley said. "They may go on monitoring us for a number years in respect of investigations and prosecutions but they will not intervene." He said it was for the prosecutor of the ICC to determine this, adding: "But I am confident based on the work that I've seen that IHAT has been doing, that the court will find that these are genuine criminal investigations that are taking place and they won't take it any further." Unlike other kits, these tests do not need to be sent off to a lab to get the results. It works by detecting antibodies on a small drop of blood, which are often only detectable three months after the infection is caught. Experts warn that any positive tests must be reconfirmed at clinics. Charities hope it will reduce some of the 26,000 people estimated to have undiagnosed HIV in the UK. An early diagnosis allows people to get treatment quickly and can prevent serious complications. And individuals successfully treated for HIV are less likely to pass the infection on. This new "do-it-yourself" test is made by company Bio Sure UK and can be bought online. It works in a similar way to a pregnancy test, measuring levels of antibodies - proteins made in response to the virus - in a person's blood. The device analyses a small droplet of blood, taken from the finger-tip using a lancet. Two purple lines appear if it is positive. The company recommends attending sexual health clinics for advice and further blood tests if both lines appear. And even if the test is negative experts say it does not mean people are definitely virus free - especially if exposure occurred within the last three months. The three-month window period, between the moment someone catches the infection and the time it can take for antibodies to develop, means the kit is not reliable during this time. Charities have welcomed the test and hope it will encourage more people to get checks - particularly those reluctant to go to clinics in the first instance. Dr Rosemary Gillespie, chief executive at Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "We campaigned for a long time to secure the legalisation of HIV self-test kits which happened in April 2014, so it is great to see the first self-test kits being approved. "However, it is important to make sure people can get quick access to support when they get their result." Shaun Griffin, also at the charity, said: "At the moment there are funding challenges throughout the NHS, including for sexual health services. "It is absolutely critical that people have access to HIV tests and advice they need." Free HIV tests are available across the NHS. In Northern Ireland ministers are considering legal changes to allow the sale of home testing kits. The 34-year-old striker was sold to Bournemouth by the Addicks in January 2014, shortly after Belgian businessman Roland Duchatelet took over the club. "I wanted to sign a new deal and stay longer at the club," Kermorgant said. "In my first meeting with the new owners I found out things were completely different. They had a vision which, for me, was completely deluded." Kermorgant, now at Reading, scored 32 goals in 96 appearances for Charlton between 2011 and 2014 and helped the Addicks win the League One title in 2012. Charlton supporters have recently aimed protests at Duchatelet, with fans angry at how he runs the club, the turnover of managers at The Valley and the club's recruitment policy. "I'm gutted," Kermorgant added. "I think they have wasted the club. "They didn't know too much about football. I felt like they were wrong and they would be in trouble because football is different to business. "It looked to me like their position was a bit weird." The south-east London club are currently bottom of the Championship table, seven points from safety and with a goal difference of minus 34. Charlton skipper Johnnie Jackson has said surviving relegation would be like winning a trophy, but Kermorgant is not so optimistic about his former club's chances of remaining in the second tier. "Two years after I can see where they are and I think it was the right decision [to leave]," the Frenchman added. "They are bottom of the league and I can't see them not being relegated at the end of the season. "The club and the fans are great. It's a nice, family club and to see what they have done is very annoying." Resuming on 363-4 on day three of the second and final Test, Australia posted 505, a lead of 135 despite Neil Wagner's 6-106 at the Hagley Oval. New Zealand reached 121-4 by the close as James Pattinson took 3-29. Kane Williamson, unbeaten on 45, is the hosts' best hope of salvaging anything other than defeat. Australia, who lead 1-0, need only draw this match to regain the number one Test ranking. McCullum, who scored the fastest Test century in the first innings, was superbly caught by a diving David Warner at mid-wicket as he charged at Josh Hazlewood. The 34-year-old's last Test runs came from a characteristic six - the 107th of his career, more than anyone else in the format. He received a standing ovation from the crowd at the start of his innings and again after he was dismissed. McCullum, who made his debut in 2004, will retire with 6,453 Test runs at an average of 38.64 from 101 matches, a tally bettered only by Stephen Fleming. Earlier, left-arm seamer Wagner claimed his second Test five-wicket haul as Australia lost their last five wickets for 39 runs. Have you added the new Top Story alerts in the BBC Sport app?

Chris, named after wildlife presenter Chris Packham, has provided satellite tag data for the Norfolk-based British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) since 2011. It left the UK on 4 July but poor signals have led the BTO to conclude the bird is "missing in action". Mr Packham said Chris's data was vital to help understand cuckoos' decline. The UK cuckoo population has declined by 65% in the last 25 years, the trust said. Chris is one of 16 being tracked as they make the 5,000-mile journey south to Africa for the winter. However, the five-year-old had been the only one to have consistently provided UK scientists with migration data since being fitted with a solar-powered satellite-tracking tag. "Chris has given pioneering insights into cuckoo wintering grounds, migration routes and speed of travel," a spokesman for the trust said. Drought conditions in northern Italy may be to blame for the lack of data being sent back and a loss of signal from Chris's backpack, he said. "The lack of rain is likely to have limited vegetation growth and reduced the availability of caterpillars, the preferred food of cuckoos. "This is bad news for those British birds that use this area to fatten up, providing them with the energy to make a successful crossing of the Sahara Desert." The last "good quality" signal from the bird was received on 3 August in northern Italy. Signals described as "sketchy" suggest he may have made it to Northern Chad by 8 August. Bronze fired into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area as England battled against Norway. Solveig Gulbrandsen's opener had given the Norwegians a lead, but Steph Houghton equalised with a header from a corner before Bronze's winner. At the end of the match the substitutes ran on to the pitch to join their team-mates in celebrating the victory. It is the first time England have won a knockout match at the Women's World Cup. England now have the opportunity to better the quarter-final defeats suffered in each of their three previous World Cups. They'll play Canada in Vancouver on Sunday. The Welsh Local Government Association also wants food outlets to be banned from being within 400m of schools. These proposals are part of its manifesto for the next Welsh government. A budget shortfall of £941m for councils by 2020 has been predicted by the WLGA. As part of its proposals, the organisation said proceeds of the 5p levy on plastic bags should be spent on front-line services, raising up to £22m. It also wants responsibility for public health services to be given to Welsh councils, as has happened in England. A preventative care fund, paid for by money owed to the Welsh government as part of a UK government commitment to increase spending on the English NHS, should be set up to pay for services aimed at keeping people healthy and out of hospital, it has said. WLGA leader Bob Wellington said: "As local government leaders we make it clear that the current approach for funding and running public services in Wales is clearly not working and that the next Welsh government must free up and trust local government to work with its communities to deliver a better solution." As well as scrapping the £60 a week cap on how much councils can charge for non-residential care, it wants an end to to protected school budgets. Amid ministers' plans to cut the number of local authorities from 22 to single figures, the WLGA has also called for "clarity" from the Welsh government about council merger plans. The chancellor blamed the slowdown on a "dangerous cocktail" of global risks and said the UK had to "act now so we don't have to pay later". He announced an extra £3.5bn in spending cuts - and sparked controversy by warning of the risks of EU exit. But Labour contrasted a lowering of corporation tax with cuts to disability payments. Key Budget announcements include: The £530m raised by a tax on the sugar content of soft drinks - the equivalent of about 18-24p per litre, the government says - will be spent on primary school sports in England, with the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland free to decide how to spend their share. Mr Osborne's sugar tax announcement sparked a big fall in the share price of soft drinks makers but it was welcomed by TV chef Jamie Oliver, who has been campaigning for such a move. The tax will be levied on the volume of the sugar-sweetened drinks companies produce or import. The Office for Budget Responsibility says it could result in a "pretty substantial price rise" on products - as much as 80% on, for example, a two-litre bottle of own-brand cola. There will be two bands - one for total sugar content above 5 grams per 100 millilitres; a second, higher band for the most sugary drinks with more than 8 grams per 100 millilitres, with the levels yet to be set. 35g The amount of sugar in a 330ml can of Coca-Cola (7 teaspoons) 30g The recommended max. intake of sugar per day for those aged 11+ £520m The amount George Osborne expects the sugar tax to raise Examples of drinks which would currently fall under the higher rate of the sugar tax include full-strength Coca-Cola and Pepsi, Lucozade Energy and Irn-Bru, the Treasury said. The lower rate would catch drinks such as Dr Pepper, Fanta, Sprite, Schweppes Indian tonic water and alcohol-free shandy. BBC health editor Hugh Pym said the tax had come as "a bolt from the blue" - particularly as Downing Street had opposed the idea last autumn. It was attacked at the time by some Conservative MPs as "nannystate-ism". Read more about how it will work How has Osborne's spoonful of sugar tax gone down? In his biggest Parliamentary test to date, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn delivered the Opposition's response, describing Mr Osborne's Budget as "the culmination of six years of his failures" which had "unfairness at its core". The Labour leader said the financial proposals failed on productivity, investment and in tackling inequality - and gave tax cuts to the wealthy while disabled people lost more than £1bn. But he welcomed Mr Osborne's sugar tax, which will be introduced in two years' time and will not apply to fruit juices or milk-based drinks. Announcing the move, Mr Osborne said: "I am not prepared to look back at my time here in this Parliament, doing this job and say to my children's generation: 'I'm sorry - we knew there was a problem with sugary drinks. We knew it caused disease. But we ducked the difficult decisions and we did nothing'." Political editor Laura Kuenssberg: Can Osborne defy political history? Economics editor Kamal Ahmed: Osborne stakes reputation on 2020 surplus Business editor Simon Jack: Small businesses are the winners Political correspondent Iain Watson: Corbyn gets mixed reviews Mr Osborne said the UK was still on course to clear its deficit by 2019/20 thanks to the extra spending cuts. But in a move that has angered Conservative colleagues who want the UK to leave the EU, he cited the Office for Budget Responsibility's view that the UK would be "safer, stronger and more secure" if it remains in. Tory MP and Leave campaigner David Davis said: "The real risks for Britain lie in remaining within the EU." Mr Osborne's package includes a £1.5bn plan to turn all state schools into academies. In other Budget announcements, Mr Osborne committed £300m for transport projects, although almost half of the money committed was announced in the Autumn Statement. The lower growth forecast from 2.4% to 2% in 2016 was driven by a reduction in the OBR's productivity forecasts. The OBR also said the government was going to breach its own welfare cap in every remaining year of this Parliament. The additional spending is mainly caused by more people than expected being eligible for disability benefits, with the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) scheme costing £3bn more than expected in July. Cuts aimed at saving £1.3bn were announced last week. There will be new action to tackle overseas retailers who store goods in Britain and sell them online without paying VAT - and new tax free allowances for "micro entrepreneurs" who rent their homes or sell services through the internet. Reforms to business rates will mean 6,000 small businesses pay no rates and 250,000 have their rates cuts from April 2017, said Mr Osborne. He announced a major overhaul of the North Sea tax regime aimed at helping the UK's oil and gas industry, effectively abolishing the Petroleum Revenue Tax. The SNP's deputy leader Stewart Hosie welcomed the move - but criticised the overall Budget package, saying Mr Osborne had "failed to tackle the debt, the deficit and the borrowing as he promised" and urging him to abandon austerity and invest more in growth. Brian Lomax founded the Northampton Town Supporters Trust (NTST) in 1992 - the first organisation of its kind. He then went on to help found Supporters Direct - the umbrella organisation representing other trusts run by fans. Supporters Direct said his role in "changing the way football is run" led to him getting an OBE in 2009. Ant Collett, who joined NTST soon after it was established, said: "Brian set it up to raise money, initially to try and save the club from going under and then to try and get representation on the board of the football club, which he achieved. "It served as an inspiration for other clubs' supporters to set up trusts." A statement from the Supporters Direct board said: "His pioneering approach led to the Football Task Force report in 1999 recommending the widespread establishment of supporters trusts to replicate his work. "Brian's skills, experience and warmth have been at the heart of our movement, and in him, we had our truly inspirational founding father. "His legacy will live on." Mr Lomax was the first managing director of Supporters Direct and stepped down as its chairman in 2009. He also served as a Liberal Democrat councillor on Daventry District Council. Andy Burnham MP, the defeated Labour Party leadership candidate, tweeted: "Devastated to hear my great friend Brian Lomax has died. "What a loss but what a legacy." The NTST is currently involved in fundraising to solve The Cobblers' latest financial crisis and it is in discussion with Northampton Borough Council and a consortium proposing to buy the club. "I'm sure it would have saddened Brian that we're back in a similar situation," said Mr Collett. Humberside Police were called to a disturbance involving a number of people in Cholmley Street shortly before 18:30 GMT on Sunday. Officers later arrested a 19-year-old man and a second man in the house went on to the roof to avoid being arrested. According to the Hull Daily Mail, the man on the roof has asked for "a helicopter and a packet of digestives". A cordon has been put in place around the house and fire and ambulance crews are in attendance. A police negotiator is trying to talk the man down. Police said the incident was linked to an assault which "resulted in a 33-year-old man sustaining serious head injuries". The victim of the assault was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary where he remains in a serious condition. Two other men, aged 19 and 18, have been arrested on suspicion of assault and remain in custody along with the arrested man. Media playback is not supported on this device Rooney scored a record-equalling 49th goal with an early penalty but was surprisingly substituted by England manager Roy Hodgson with history beckoning and the San Marino defence out on its feet. He must now try again against Switzerland at Wembley on Tuesday. There was still plenty for England to celebrate, though, as they made it seven wins out of seven in qualifying to ensure they will be in France next summer. England were never under threat and it was another damage limitation exercise for San Marino, especially after Cristian Brolli headed into his own net before half-time. Ross Barkley nodded in his first England goal after the break and England romped clear with two goals from substitute Theo Walcott and Harry Kane's clever lofted finish. There was general astonishment - probably shared by Rooney himself - when he was substituted after 58 minutes needing just one goal to beat Charlton's record. Rooney will surpass the former Manchester United player's mark eventually and perhaps it will be more fitting should he seal it against Switzerland at Wembley on Tuesday rather than this quaint 6,600-capacity arena with many fans getting a free view from the hills that rise up at one end of the stadium. It looked like the record was there for the taking when Rooney tucked away that early penalty but he had no further clear chances - although one would surely have come against a home defence that was exhausted in the last 25 minutes. England manager Roy Hodgson gave opportunities to players in the relatively sedate surroundings of San Marino and one man in particular took his chance with relish. Swansea City's Jonjo Shelvey, making his first England appearance in almost three years, was positive in possession, happy to play a deeper role but also willing to get forward and show his range of passing. He capped his performance by making the fifth goal for substitute Kane. He will have created a good impression with Hodgson through his discipline and work-rate and can feel he has worked his way back into the England fold. Barkley also made his mark with a neatly-taken header from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's cross as well as a few trademark moments of quality. It was a tougher night for Leicester City's Jamie Vardy, who struggled to get into the action and, for a short while in the second half, became embroiled in a running battle with San Marino defender Giovanni Bonini. Everton's John Stones, at the centre of so much speculation recently as Chelsea were willing to pay in excess of £30m for his services, had little to do other than handle the unique pressure of ensuring San Marino did not score their first goal of the Euro 2016 qualifiers on his watch. Well, they will definitely be there and, as the first team to qualify (hosts France apart) Hodgson has some time for experimentation in the final three qualifiers. England will not travel to France among the favourites but there is some fine young talent in this squad in the shape of the likes of Barkley, Luke Shaw, Kane, Stones and, of course, Raheem Sterling, who was rested on Saturday. Hodgson will hope they continue to develop rapidly over the next 12 months alongside established, experienced players such as Rooney. This should mean England can travel with hope and optimism. But potential winners? That is a long stretch. England striker Wayne Rooney: "It's a proud moment to equal Sir Bobby Charlton's record. My aim is to push on and try and help the team win on Tuesday and break the record. "It would have been great if the record had happened tonight. Obviously the tradition of Wembley and to break the record at Wembley would be great." England manager Roy Hodgson: "I am more than satisfied and we won it with a good margin. "One or two who weren't in contention to play on Tuesday night have pushed their claims and Jonjo Shelvey deserves a mention." Former England midfielder Jermaine Jenas on BBC Radio 5 live: "There have been some decent performances from England. Ross Barkley stepped it up in the second half, Nathaniel Clyne bombed up and down the right flank and Jonjo Shelvey has hardly given the ball away. "England manager Roy Hodgson will be delighted with his team's discipline, energy and professionalism." Match ends, San Marino 0, England 6. Second Half ends, San Marino 0, England 6.

Peter Scotter, 55, is accused of walking up to the woman in the Bridges shopping mall in Sunderland, and ripping the niqab from her face before throwing it on the floor. Mr Scotter, of Beach Street, Sunderland, pleaded not guilty to racially or religiously aggravated common assault. He was bailed to reappear at Newcastle Crown Court on 13 March. Prosecutors have said Mr Scotter walked up to the woman, who was with her nine-year-old child, on 3 July, while she was waiting with her husband. He is further alleged to have shouted racist abuse at PC Deborah Chayton, who attended the incident. Mr Scotter also denies a charge of causing the police officer alarm, harassment or distress, which was racially or religiously aggravated. It said many current and former soldiers had given accounts of suffering violence or abuse there. A coroner recently ruled the death of Pte Cheryl James, 18, was suicide and criticised army welfare standards. Liberty said Pte James' inquest had exposed a "toxic, violent and sexualised" culture at the barracks. It also said other accounts of abuse at the camp emerged in two recent BBC documentaries, Deepcut - the Army's Shame, and Week In Week Out - A Family's Fight for the Truth. It has written to Defence Secretary Michael Fallon to request a "thorough and independent" inquiry on behalf of the families of Privates James, Sean Benton and James Collinson - three out of four young soldiers found dead with gunshot wounds between 1995 and 2002. Last week Pte Benton's twin brother Tony and sister Tracey Lewis lodged an application for a fresh inquest into the circumstances surrounding his death. Liberty said it was also acting for former Deepcut recruits Mark Harrison, who says he was a victim of sexual assault and rape, and Dan Griffiths, who alleges an army instructor beat him unconscious. Mr Harrison said: "The man who did this to me was known by the Army to be a risk to young people because he committed sexual offences before he came to Deepcut. "His actions changed my life forever and I still struggle deeply today as a consequence. "I want to be heard and I want to be assured that this could never happen again." Pte James' father, Des said: "The MoD has wasted many years avoiding a public inquiry into Deepcut and even denying an abusive culture existed until very recently. "A public inquiry may finally draw a line under this dark stain on the reputation of the British Army." Liberty said in 2002-3 Surrey Police compiled a dossier of 118 "duty of care and bullying issues", mainly at Deepcut. An independent review in 2006 by Nicholas Blake QC concluded there was no need for a public inquiry. In a statement, a Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: ""We believe in the importance of transparency through any method deemed most appropriate, and we have not objected to any of the further Deepcut inquests raised to date. "However Sir Nicholas Blake's review concluded a public inquiry into the circumstances at Deepcut barracks was not necessary, and this view was shared by the House of Commons Defence Committee." The team had arrived at Camp 1 when the 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook the mountain. It triggered a wall of snow, rock and ice that hurtled down onto the Everest Base Camp.

Deimante Driukaite, born three months prematurely, died from significant brain trauma. She also had bruising to her face and body and fractured ribs. Her 26-year-old father, Tomas Driukas, from Birmingham, denied murder but was convicted at the city's crown court. Although he called an ambulance when she had breathing problems last April, he lied to medics, police said. Updates on this story and more in Birmingham and the Black Country Deimante was treated in hospital but died a few hours later on 1 April, aged four-and-a-half months. Police said Driukas, from Crantock Road in Perry Barr, shook her because she would not stop crying. Det Sgt Nick Barnes, from the force's homicide team, said Deimante, who was just 55cm (21 inches) tall and weighed less than nine pounds, was "entirely vulnerable, requiring complete care, love and compassion". "She had been injured on at least four occasions and had suffered multiple rib fractures caused by her tiny ribcage being squeezed," he said. "She also had bruising to her face. The force required was well in excess of what would be expected in handling a baby of this size. "The cause of her death was non-accidental head injury which had been caused by her being violently shaken." Driukas has shown no "meaningful remorse" since her death, he added. He will be sentenced on Tuesday. A spokesman for the NSPCC charity said: "This was an horrific attack on a defenceless baby. "There is no excuse for a parent to inflict such appalling injuries no matter what pressure they might be experiencing. Just a moment's loss of control can result in a tragedy like this."

A man who "violently shook" his baby daughter to death has been found guilty of her murder.

The region is currently the centre of an insurgency by local tribesmen fighting for greater political rights. A new report by the rights group focuses on political activists detained without charge. Many of them were later killed, the report says. The Supreme Court is investigating the killings and disappearances. Entitled "We can torture, kill and keep you for years", the report completes a three-part series of investigations on Balochistan by Human Rights Watch (HRW). The BBC's Syed Shoaib Hasan says that taken together they present a disturbing and violent picture of what many are calling Pakistan's secret dirty war. "Pakistan's security forces are engaging in an abusive free-for-all in Balochistan as Baloch nationalists and suspected militants 'disappear' and in many cases are executed," HRW Asia Director Brad Adams said. "The national government has done little to end the carnage in Balochistan, calling into question its willingness or ability to control the military and intelligence agencies." Pakistani authorities routinely deny claims of abuses in Balochistan. The latest 132-page report says state security remains responsible for most of the abuses. This includes holding detainees as young as 12 years old without charge - as well as the increasing torture and killing of those held, it says. The report details 45 alleged cases of enforced disappearances, the majority in 2009 and 2010. It says that while hundreds of people have been "forcibly disappeared" in Balochistan since 2005, dozens of new enforced disappearances have occurred since Pakistan returned to civilian rule in 2008. The report is based on over 100 interviews by HRW in Balochistan in 2010 and 2011 with family members of "disappeared" people, former detainees, local human rights activists, lawyers and witnesses to government abductions. It says that those targeted are primarily Baloch nationalist activists or suspected Baloch militants. "Pakistani security services are brazenly disappearing, torturing, and often killing people because of suspected ties to the Baloch nationalist movement," Mr Adams said. "This is not counterinsurgency - it is barbarism and it needs to end now." Security officials in Balochistan routinely dismiss such claims as part of propaganda by separatists. They say all those arrested have been produced in courts. In a recent interview, the top security official in Balochistan told the BBC the killings were the result of infighting amongst the nationalists. But other security officials have also told the BBC that they have detained the activists. They say the insurgents are being supported by India and it is the duty of Pakistan's security forces to do their utmost to suppress them. The report also highlights how difficult conditions are getting for ordinary citizens in Balochistan. The province has strategic importance as it borders Iran and Afghanistan. US officials say the Afghan Taliban leadership have their headquarters in the province, a claim Pakistan denies. Balochistan, Pakistan's largest and most sparsely populated province, is also rich in minerals - with vast untapped deposits of oil, gas, copper and gold. But locals say most of this remains under the control of the federal government - its policies have left them little choice, many say, but to side with the insurgents.

Hundreds of political activists are being held and tortured by security forces in the Pakistani province of Balochistan, Human Rights Watch says.

There are deep sea lantern sharks that glow in the dark, wobbegong sharks that grow shaggy beards, and majestic, plankton-sifting whale sharks - the biggest fish in the sea. Nevertheless, when many people think of these animals, one thing comes to mind: shark attacks. As a beachgoer, diver or surfer your chances of encountering a shark, let alone being killed by one, are in fact incredibly slim; lightning strikes, bee stings and car accidents all pose far more of a threat than sharks. In reality, people kill millions more sharks than sharks kill people. A quarter of all shark species, and their relatives the rays, are threatened with extinction, according to a recent report from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The main threat to sharks is overfishing and in greatest peril are the largest species. But a controversial cull of sharks was recently ordered in Western Australia following a spate of attacks. Scientists are now looking at other approaches to deal with the shark attack issue. Prof Shaun Collin is leading a University of Western Australia (UWA) team of neurobiologists who are learning to think like sharks. "We're trying to tread this very fine line of protecting both humans and sharks at the same time," Prof Collin told the BBC World Service programme Discovery. By studying shark brains and shark senses, the team is developing and testing various non-lethal repellents. The aim is to manipulate the sharks' finely-tuned senses in ways that discourage them from approaching and attacking people. One of these is a "shark-proof" wetsuit designed to make people look like poisonous, black and white banded sea snakes, something that many sharks tend to avoid. The stripy wetsuit was first thought up years ago by marine biologist Walter Starck. Now a detailed understanding of shark vision is helping the UWA team to bring this idea up to date. Nathan Hart, assistant professor at UWA, explained to me that sharks don't see as well as humans. "We've made sure that the size of the bands can be detected by a shark from a certain distance," he says. Tests of the new wetsuit design are currently underway. This involves wrapping the fabric around a barrel filled with dead fish and watching how sharks respond to it in the wild. It is still early days, but so far, Nathan told me, the results have been encouraging. "Based on what we know about the sensory systems of sharks, they should reduce your risk to some extent," he says. "Just like a seatbelt in a car, it doesn't reduce your risk to zero; it's a matter of reducing your risk by a certain amount and by as much as possible," he adds. As well as trying to protect individual swimmers, another tactic is to make certain areas out of bounds to sharks. "We can try and define areas on the beaches where people are confident they can go and swim," says Dr Hart. Bubble curtains could be deployed to keep sharks away from popular beaches. The idea is to lay perforated hosepipes across the seabed and pump air through them and create a plume of bubbles that sharks may decide not to swim through. Sharks can see and hear the bubbles and also feel them with their lateral line, a system of sense organs many fish have. "It's a system of what's known as 'distant touch'; it detects vibrations and very low-frequency sound in the water," Nathan explained. Early tests showed that tiger sharks eventually pluck up the courage to cross a barrier of bubbles, suggesting they have the ability to learn. Eugenie Clark, a veteran marine biologist at the Mote Marine Laboratory in Florida, pioneered studies of shark learning back in the 1950s. Nicknamed "The Shark Lady", Dr Clark trained captive sharks to press targets with their snouts and ring bells for a food reward. She showed for the first time that sharks can learn and remember things. Eugenie told me about the time she took a trained baby nurse shark as a gift for the Crown Prince of Japan who shared her fascination with fish. "The airline gave me an extra seat for the shark. Most people didn't know, he was such a tiny thing he was less than two feet long. But he never made a mistake," says Eugenie. Recently, I witnessed for myself the capacity sharks have to learn and in particular that they can learn not to attack people. I went diving off the Pacific island of Fiji and saw my first bull sharks, notorious as one of the most aggressive shark species. Locals from Beqa Adventure Divers have trained a population of around 100 bull sharks to approach a diver, one-by-one, and gently take a chunk of fish offered to them by hand. The sharks have learned how to behave if they want food. "They know us very well," Fijian divemaster Papa told me before I jumped in the water. "That's the good thing, they know what's going on." Preparing for the dive, I wasn't exactly sure how I would react to seeing these giant predators. But as soon as I got down beneath the waves my nerves evaporated and I saw just how graceful and calm bull sharks can be. There was no safety cage or any sort of repellent and I never felt in any kind of danger. As well as helping to shift the sharks' bad reputation as insatiable killers, the Fijian divers are showing that a live shark in the water is worth far more than a dead one. In Fiji and elsewhere around the world, sharks are under immense pressure from the demand in Asia for shark fin soup. Back in Western Australia, the shark cull continues amid beachside protests. The problem has been an abnormal high in shark attacks, with seven fatalities over the last three years compared with 20 in the last century. The response of the Western Australia government has been to lay baited hooks offshore from popular beaches. Any great white, tiger and bull sharks that are caught and are larger than 3m long are shot and dumped at sea. One opponent of the cull is shark attack survivor Rodney Fox. Fifty years ago he suffered a horrific attack from a great white in South Australia but since then has become a dedicated shark advocate. "We just have to learn how to live with the sharks and not just kill them from fear," he told me. He thinks killing sharks deliberately is an unscientific and irrational strategy to try to reduce the attack rate. But Western Australia's government says the cull is in place to protect swimmers and surfers. Premier Colin Barnett has said: "The West Australian government is absolutely confident that the policy in place is the right policy and we intend to continue it." An open letter from more than 100 scientists has urged Mr Barnett to reconsider the cull, highlighting its environmental impact and the low chance of catching the individual sharks responsible for the attacks. "Every scientist that I've heard of and talked to all agree that it's not the thing to do," says Mr Fox. Pte Cheryl James was found dead from a bullet wound to her head at the Surrey barracks in 1995. Former staff sergeant Terence McEleavey said he raised concerns about the suicide theory but was told to keep quiet and think about "pension time". He said the area around the body was not preserved as it should have been. The 18-year-old from Llangollen in Denbighshire was one of four recruits to die at the base in seven years. Mr McEleavey told the hearing in Woking he was asked to identify Pte James's body, which was just inside the tree line close to one of the camp's entry gates and had been covered by a groundsheet. "I was a bit peeved with it really," he said. "There was too much activity around there." Mr McEleavey said: "They found a (bullet) case on the left-hand side of the body. It was as if they'd already made up their mind that it was a suicide and they were just walking around." But describing how he saw Pte James's body lying face down with a gun nearby, he added: "It just struck me as odd that the weapon was away from the body. "My initial thoughts were that there's no way she would have taken her own life. "She wasn't depressed or anything like that. She was just her normal, happy self." He said she had been excited about getting a posting to Germany. He also said the position of the gun later stuck in his mind and he added: "It was away from the body as if it was laid there." Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events Mr McEleavey told the inquest senior officers directed him on how to answer in interviews and he was told that if he did not have any positive evidence he should keep it to himself. "It was along the lines of, 'you're coming to the end of your career, think about pension time'," he said. A former GP working at Deepcut told the inquest there were "all sorts" of welfare issues among recruits and an increasing number of young female soldiers came to her surgery for the morning-after pill or abortions. But Dr Alexandra McClenahan said Pte James appeared to have no mental health problems or related concerns. "She struck me as a lovely, bubbly girl and was obviously keen to get posted out of Deepcut," she said. The first inquest into Pte James's death in December 1995 recorded an open verdict. This second inquest was ordered after High Court judges quashed the original findings. The hearing continues. McColgan, 24, broke her ankle in January and has suffered a setback in her return from injury. "Initially, we believed this injury would be a small blip in the road meaning six weeks off from running," McColgan wrote in a training blog. "Sadly, the fracture has fully extended." The Scot competed at London 2012 in the 3000m steeplechase, failing to make the final, and came sixth in the same event at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. She said: "There is nothing I can do except rest and attempt to let the bone heal as impacting the joint will continue to open the fracture. "The healing becomes less likely as time goes on, so shortly I will find out whether I need to undergo surgery in order to force the bone to heal. "Hopefully from September I can slowly build up my training again. A completely injury-free, illness-free, winter is going to be central to my preparation for 2016 and many athletes struggle to achieve that. "Rio 2016 will come round before any of us realise and at the end of the day the Olympic Games is the pinnacle. All the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices are purely for the Olympics. Every athlete wants to be a part of it. "My event choice is still under question - perhaps a move to the 5000m or 10,000m will be more feasible after foot surgery, rather than risking injury over the steeplechase in such an important year." British Transport Police (BTP) said he suffered head and leg injuries when he fell into the path of an oncoming train at about 23:00 BST on Friday. It happened as thousands of fans left the nearby Twickenham Stadium after England's victory over Fiji in the first World Cup game. The man is not thought to be critically ill, London Ambulance said. The station in south-west London was evacuated while the man was treated. London Ambulance said he was later taken to St George's Hospital, in south-west London. The train had been slowing down at the time he was hit, British Transport Police said. "At this stage it is unclear exactly how the man came to fall on to the tracks and officers are working to determine the full circumstances," a spokesman said. South West Trains said services between Twickenham and London Waterloo were suspended while the man was treated but later resumed. A spokeswoman said: "Our immediate thoughts are for the welfare of the person involved." The Spaniard, 30, won 6-2 6-4 to claim his first victory over the Serb since the 2014 French Open final. Nadal improved his record on clay this year to 14-0 and will face Austrian Dominic Thiem, who beat Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas 6-4 6-4, in Sunday's final. Kristina Mladenovic plays Simona Halep in Saturday's women's final. Nadal confirmed his return to form with a long-awaited win over Djokovic, his 24th in 50 career meetings. "It is a great result," he said. "To win against Novak by that score you have to be playing very well, otherwise it's impossible. "It was an important match for me. I lost a lot of times in a row. To break that means there are always nerves. "The circumstances nowadays are completely different compared to those seven matches that occurred before. "I think that the last two years perhaps haven't been my best two years. For Novak, they were really good years." Djokovic, playing his first tournament since splitting with his long-time coaching team, won just four points in the opening four games as he fell 4-0 down to a rejuvenated Nadal. There were more positive signs for the Serb in the second set as he recovered an early break of serve, punching his fist in delight, but Nadal would quickly re-establish the advantage. The Spaniard came through a tense final game, fending off a break point before converting his third match point and closing on a fifth Madrid title. "He deserved to win," said Djokovic. "It wasn't a very high quality of tennis from my side. I made a lot of unforced errors. "His quality was very high. He managed to do whatever he wanted really, especially in the first set." According to their former sports teacher, Ben Tumwet, the brother and sister had a 10km (more than six miles) journey to Bishop Okiring secondary school in the village of Kamuneru. "Moses and Linet were coming from a far place, they were coming very early in the morning and also going back in the afternoon," says Mr Tumwet. "So they got their running training to and from school." Their daily commute proved to be over an auspicious distance. Linet went on to win the 10,000m at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, while her brother earned a bronze in the men's event. Now, a new generation of pupils at their former school - in the foothills of Kenya's Mount Elgon - is faced with a similar early morning journey, and they have a similar lack of transport. They have been inspired by the success of the Masai siblings - but their goals are not confined to the athletics track. Take 17-year-old Sammy, who also lives 10km away from the school and has a punishing schedule. "I wake up at 4am, prepare some breakfast and then head out. I try to arrive at school by 6am in the morning," he says. "I pass through the forest, where there's danger from wild animals, then I travel over muddy roads. "Sometimes, the rivers overflow and carry away the bridges. On those days, I don't go to school." But he perseveres. "It's a hard journey, but I struggle because I want to get an education. When I leave school I want to be a lawyer here in Kenya." So, are there good things about his journey? "No, there is nothing." And according to the school's headmaster, Naboth Okadie, the romantic image of future champions earning their stripes on their daily run to school, does not quite tally with the harsh reality that his pupils face. The school is located in a poor, rural part of Kenya, with only the most basic infrastructure - and where inter-communal tensions have, in the recent past, resulted in violence and death. "Right now, we have two children who are going for the national competition in athletics," Mr Okadie says. As with the majority of his students, the headmaster worries about their journey. "They walk to school and then back home in the evening. It's a huge challenge with our bad roads and insecurity: Actually, we fear for them," he says. Another of the Bishop Okiring pupils, Susan, lives 5km away from the school. Like Sammy, that means a start at 04:00 local time (02:00 GMT) - and a frequently scary journey. "Sometimes it is very dark, especially in the rainy season," she says. "And, as I'm a girl, it is risky to walk alone... Sometimes I fall, because the route is very muddy - and I'm forced to go back and change. "I don't enjoy the journey and find I am very tired in lessons. "I want to be in the boarding section, but now my parents are not able to contribute the fees for boarding." Another highly successful athlete from the region that has produced so many Kenyan champions, Abel Kirui, also ran to school. Looking back, he acknowledges that, while it was a formative experience, he would have avoided the journey, if it was an option. "When we were young, we didn't like going to school - but our parents pushed us," he says. "We used to run the two kilometres to school when we were late, then we'd run back for lunch and then go back after lunch running again." These days, he runs considerably further. The two-time world marathon champion is aiming for a gold medal at the London Olympics and, he told me, with a glint in his eye, at the following Games as well. And if Abel Kirui's future is paved with gold, it will - in part - be thanks to the road he travelled in the past; a road which many young Kenyans are travelling still, whether or not they want to. These are the elements, according to Giorgos Stathakis, the Economy Minister, in an exclusive BBC interview. First and foremost, the European Central Bank must keep Greek banks alive for a week to 10 days, so that rescue talks can progress between Athens and its creditors, eurozone governments and the International Monetary Fund. In a best case, he said, the ECB would provide an additional €3bn of Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) later today. But even if the ECB simply continues to freeze ELA, Mr Stathakis said the current cash withdrawal and transfer restrictions on banks could stay in place till Friday, without any of them collapsing. Naturally if the ECB decides to reduce ELA, which its mandate would allow it to do, then banks would be in dire straits. The second element of a rescue would be Mr Tsipras's letter to creditors last week, when he accepted most of their proposals for spending cuts, tax rises and structural economic reforms - with relativity modest changes to the nature of proposed pension cuts. Finally the government wants a 30% reduction in its debt burden, as per the IMF's debt sustainability analysis of last week, either through direct write-offs or through lengthening the repayment term. Goodness only knows whether the eurozone - led by Berlin - and the IMF will deal on this basis. But, as Mr Stathakis conceded, with Greek banks on the verge of collapse, there is no longer any scope to put off a decision on whether Greece is in or out of the euro for much more than 48 hours. For what it's worth, he said that his government does not have a mandate to quit the eurozone. But with the Greek economy seizing up for want of a functioning banking system, a mandate for euro exit may be a luxury too far. Cook, 29, has been dropped from the 15-man squad to play matches in Australia next month and the World Cup. "I'm gutted to be left out of the World Cup squad and it is likely to take me a while to get over the disappointment," he said. England announced their World Cup squad on Saturday morning. The decision to drop Cook was made following a selectors' meeting on Friday and follows a miserable year for the batsman in one-day cricket. He failed to score a century in 45 one-day internationals and recently led England to a 5-2 series defeat in Sri Lanka, scoring only 119 runs in six matches. England selector James Whitaker confirmed that Cook's lack of runs had prompted the decision to remove him as captain. "Having reviewed the recent series against Sri Lanka, we came to the conclusion that there was no place for Alastair Cook amongst our strongest 15 one-day players," said Whitaker. Morgan's first challenge as captain is to lead the side in a tri-series against Australia and India as warm-up for the World Cup in February. He said: "It's a huge honour to captain England and I am delighted to be leading the one-day side. "I firmly believe that with the players currently involved in the one-day set-up we have the makings of a very good one-day side, a young side that can surprise people at the World Cup. "We all recognise we still have a lot of work to do on our one-day game but the potential of this group of players is huge and it is now up to us as players to turn that potential into consistent performances." Like Cook, Morgan has also struggled for runs in recent times and scored only one half century in seven matches in Sri Lanka, but averages 71.16 in his eight previous matches as England one-day captain. Paul Downton, managing director of the England and Wales Cricket Board, added: "I have complete confidence in the decision made by the selectors and having spent time with Alastair yesterday he accepts that it has been made in the best interests of the one-day side. " Justice Minister David Ford introduced what he said were necessary cuts to payments to lawyers in May. Defence lawyers have withdrawn from new criminal cases requiring legal aid in protest at the changes. The BBC understands there is a backlog of 531 cases relating to 629 defendants that have been delayed over the row. The cases are understood to cover crimes including murder to drink driving. The legal aid reforms were made after the Department of Justice faced reductions to its budget, with Mr Ford saying Northern Ireland could not continue to fund the UK's highest level of legal aid pay. The Bar Council and the Law Society of Northern Ireland, which represent barristers and solicitors, brought a joint challenge over the cuts to legal aid fees. Last week, a judge said the new rules did not provide fair pay to solicitors in some criminal cases, but he refused to quash the reforms. A senior Northern Ireland law lord said on Friday the dispute had caused "a significant and growing backlog" of court cases and he appealed for the row to be resolved. At the start of a review of criminal cases at Belfast Crown Court, Lord Justice Weir said he wanted all parties "to do their very best to bring the matter to an early conclusion". He said defendants "quite understandably, are reluctant to proceed" with cases as they could not access expert legal advice. "When the disagreement is ultimately resolved there will be continuing delay while the necessary weeks or months of preparation that has been postponed is then carried out," he added. He said judges could also "clearly see the increasingly adverse effect that its continuation is having upon the due administration of criminal justice". It has also emerged that prosecution lawyers have their own row over fees with the director of Public Prosecution Service. During the same criminal cases review hearing, several prosecution lawyers said their governing body, the Criminal Bar Association, was disputing a new fees scale as set out by Barra McGrory QC. However, they said many would still appear "as a matter of courtesy" to the courts. They added that their dispute may only be resolved once the row involving defence lawyers has ended. Two-year-old Francesca Asan was taken to Basingstoke hospital in May after becoming ill and died within hours. A small battery was found later during tests. An inquest heard it burnt through an artery close to her windpipe. Coroner Andrew Bradley returned a verdict of misadventure and urged parents to be cautious. If accidentally swallowed, the small, round batteries can get lodged in the oesophagus and burn a hole through its lining. The inquest heard Francesca was born with an artery out of place, closer than normal to her windpipe. When the battery slowly burnt through her windpipe it proved "catastrophic". The battery was only discovered during a post mortem examination. Mr Asan later discovered a battery from the family's 3D TV glasses was missing. "If you don't need them, throw them away. Buy them when you need them rather than store them," he said. Mr Asan said his daughter had "a strong will and a strong character". Last month London's Great Ormond Street Hospital revealed it had seen a big increase in cases in the past year. Cadisha Brown, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, said: "People aren't really aware of the damage it can do the internal organs which is why we're raising awareness of the issue and warning parents to be vigilant and be careful of having batteries around children." The facility provides sub-editing for weekly newspapers across the UK as well as a Scottish daily paper. Work will transfer to another editing hub in Weymouth, with the company blaming costs. It opened in 2013 and, at its peak, employed more than 70 people subbing 100 daily and weekly newspapers. But two rounds of redundancies last year saw the workforce reduced. In a letter to staff, the company said: "Following a review of the costs of each of the two copy editing hubs it is proposed that all copy editing work will cease to continue in Newport from April 7. "All content is proposed to be copy edited in the Weymouth hub from 10 April in order to achieve the most efficient and cost effective process." Consultation with staff began on Monday. A Newsquest spokesman said: "Due to an improvement in workflow across all of our newsrooms, the workload has reduced significantly within the Group Editorial Services Copy Editing function. "With so much of newspaper copy-editing work now no longer being required, it is anticipated that the copy-editing department in Newport will not need the same staffing levels going forward. "While this proposal regrettably places 13.85 FTE roles at risk of redundancy, we continue to employ a significant number of staff for other group editorial services in Newport." If you haven't heard of it before, Tamboo Bamboo originates from the carnival traditions of the Caribbean, and involves hammering carved sticks on the ground to create complex rhythms. It originally emerged in Trinidad, after skinned drums were banned by the British government in 1884. The word Tamboo comes from the French word Tambour, which itself means drum. Trinidad began holding carnivals in the late 1700s when French planters arrived, and their slaves formed their own festival, fuelled by drum music. After emancipation in 1834, the celebrations became noisier and more colourful, but disturbances led the government to clamp down on the use of sticks and drums. In 1934 the Tamboo Bamboo was banned too, after the instruments were sharpened to a vicious point and used as weapons between rival gangs. Musicians adopted the Steel Drum as a replacement, but the Bamboo tradition has recently re-emerged as a simple way of introducing children to music. Sadly, it has nothing to do with pandas. The world record attempt will take place in Bradford's City Park on BBC Music Day, which takes place on Thursday, 15 June. Schoolchildren in Portsmouth will also gather to create a new drumming world record - and both attempts will be covered on CBBC. BBC Music Day, which was established in 2015, is a celebration of music that "aims to unite communities and generations". The line-up for this year's event has just been announced and includes: In addition, Radio 2 will broadcast a series called Songs my Sons Loved, in which the mothers of four soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan will remember their sons through the music they loved. Presented by Jeremy Vine, the documentaries will be broadcast daily in the week commencing 12 June. BBC Music Day was originally scheduled for 9 June, 2017, but the day was changed to accommodate the UK's General Election. Some events, especially ticketed ones, will still take place on the first date. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Hong Kong took a shock lead as Natasha Olson-Thorne broke through, but Wales rallied with tries for Jess Kavanagh-Williams and Jasmine Joyce. World Cup debutants Hong Kong refused to buckle and scored again through Chan Ka Yan to reduce the deficit to 17-15. But Kavanagh-Williams, captain Carys Phillips and Sioned Harries [twice] crossed to save Wales' blushes. Already out of semi-final contention, Wales will now enter the play-offs to decide fifth to eighth places. Wales, who are the eighth seeds, will play against the fifth-placed Canadians. Wales were expected to breeze through their final pool game, given the fact World Cup newcomers Hong Kong had been demolished 121-0 by New Zealand and 98-0 by Canada in their previous two fixtures. However, Rowland Phillips' side struggled badly and found themselves camped on their own try line early in the game. They appeared to have settled when Shona Powell-Hughes drove over from close range, but a major upset looked to be on the cards when Olson-Thorne tore through the Welsh defence to score Hong Kong's first World Cup try. Wales were sloppy in possession and seemed startled by their opponents' intensity, and it was not until midway through the second half - with scores from Kavanagh-Williams, Phillips and Harries - that they pulled clear of the Pool A minnows. Until their meeting with Wales, this had been a chastening World Cup debut for Hong Kong, who had failed to score a single point in their thrashings at the hands of Canada and New Zealand. Their 121-0 mauling against the Black Ferns was a particularly alarming result, prompting some to question if such mismatches risked undermining the competition as a spectacle. But they answered those critics in fine fashion, playing an energetic and aggressive brand of rugby which rattled Wales and helped produce one of the most entertaining matches of this tournament. Hong Kong tackled ferociously and looked to play expansive rugby where possible and, although they ultimately fell short, their spirited display gave hope for future World Cup appearances. Wales captain Carys Phillips told BBC Wales Sport: "Especially in that first half, it wasn't the way we wanted to perform. We gave away too many penalties, which cost us. "Credit to Hong Kong to have their first points of the tournament but we definitely didn't want that. "We pulled it around in the second half and stuck to what we do, and we came back and won. "It was a great performance for them but, looking at us, we need to make sure we go back to our own processes from the off and work on our discipline." A grant of £10.4m (€12.4m) will be spent on a rail "chord" at Ipswich to allow freight trains to travel directly from Felixstowe to the Midlands. This will create a link to the west coast mainline near Birmingham. Grants also will help deepen ship channels off the Suffolk coast and contribute towards port cranes. Vicky Ford, MEP for the East of England, said it would help to get freight off the A14 and onto the railway. "I have been supporting upgrades for the freight rail links from Felixstowe to Nuneaton route since 2008," she said. "Getting the money back from Brussels also frees up the UK's own funds which can then be used for more smaller-scale, local projects." Siim Kallas, European Commission vice-president for transport, said: "Seaports like Felixstowe are vital gateways. "We need to keep them and better connect them to Europe's major transport networks." More than 20 staff have left Holliers Walk in Hinckley, Leicestershire, after a new management team was put in place two-and-a-half years ago. One ex-teacher said they ended up taking an overdose due to the treatment they received. The school said the allegations were "concerning" and said it was taking immediate action. Last year, the school was rated good by Ofsted, and praised for its strong leadership. However, Greg Jones, from the National Union of Teachers, said there was a climate of "harassment and bullying" at the school. Former teacher Laura Moore said she lost her confidence and was at breaking point due to her treatment by some members of the senior management team. She said: "It was an atmosphere of fear. "It wasn't just one-off things, it was constant - telling you to do something, then telling you it was wrong." Another ex-teacher, who did not want to be identified, told the BBC: "I just couldn't sleep, I was so upset I ended up taking an overdose of tablets - that was the lowest point and that's when I knew I had to leave." Jane Cook, deputy head of the school, said "Firstly, it is important to stress that all types of bullying are totally unacceptable at our school and will not be tolerated. "We take any allegation very seriously and once we are made aware of the specific details of these claims, we will take swift action to investigate." A spokesperson for Leicestershire County Council said: "We will be investigating the facts and gathering more information, before deciding whether any further action is required." The authority said many of the 25 staff who had left moved to other jobs or retired. Nottingham-based charity Framework wants to convert two empty houses on Trent Boulevard in the Lady Bay area. But opponents claim it is too close to a school and believe their children could be exposed to drugs and alcohol. Brenda Baxter who lives nearby accused objectors of "discriminatory attitudes". So far almost 270 objections have been made to the proposals which were submitted to Rushcliffe Borough Council last month. One of them, Morris Enderby, said it was "completely the wrong location" and he objected to "ex-drug addicts and people with alcohol issues" congregating in the area. Ms Baxter, who has previously worked with children, said the hostel would help young people turn their lives around. "There's kids already living here that have mental health and drug problems," she said. "Everyone is entitled to a chance." The charity's chief executive, Andrew Redfern, said they aimed to house young people close to transport links, shops and schools. "There's no inevitability these young people have drug or alcohol problems, no more than anyone else living in Lady Bay," said Mr Redfern. "As a community we have to decide whether we are going to shut them away without support or involve them in the neighbourhood and support them to play their part in it." A final decision on the plans will be made by the council in December. The artwork, which appeared in Cheltenham on Sunday, depicts three men wearing sunglasses and using listening devices to "snoop" on a telephone box. The piece has already attracted hundreds of visitors. Banksy has not yet claimed the work but it bears his hallmarks, say experts. Vince John from the 1loveart gallery in Bristol, which sells urban and street art, said he was "70% to 80%" sure it was by the famous artist: "From what I can see it certainly looks like a Banksy. "It's certainly in his style and has the supporting cast of characters that you'd expect from one of his pieces. "It's taking a swipe at GCHQ and commenting on the establishment which is something that he does very well." Cheltenham street artist Dice67 claimed he had been told the artwork, which appeared on the corner of Fairview Road and Hewlett Road on Sunday morning, is indeed by Bristol artist Banksy. "It's been all over the art forums. He's tipped off a couple of people to come and see it - one guy flew in from France yesterday to take some photos of it. "I've heard rumours he's been living just down the road from it for the last week checking everything out and preparing the ground. "I'm pretty sure it is [a Banksy]." A GCHQ spokesperson said: "This is the first time we have ever been asked to comment on art. "Although we are not qualified critics, we are as intrigued as the rest of the residents of Cheltenham about the appearance of the mysterious artwork. "For those who are interested, our website gives a glimpse of what modern-day intelligence operatives are really like, although some may be disappointed by the lack of trench coats and dark glasses." Banksy's last known works of art were created in New York last October during a month-long residency. Lonnie Franklin Jr, 57, is alleged to be the serial killer called the "Grim Sleeper" by California's media. Most of the victims were prostitutes in Los Angeles who were sexually assaulted and then shot between 1985 and 2007. The attacker was given his nickname because he apparently stopped killing from 1988 to 2002. Detectives have spent years investigating the killings. The apparent breakthrough came after Mr Franklin's son - who is currently in prison - was swabbed for DNA using a technique known as a "familial search". The convict's DNA indicated he was a close relative of the serial killer. The prisoner's family tree was then drawn up, with his father eventually emerging as a suspect. Detectives later swabbed a cup used by Mr Franklin at a restaurant to obtain a DNA profile to compare with DNA evidence found at crime scenes. Andrew Thomas pleaded guilty after DNA tests were used to prove lambs born to stolen ewes had been fathered by rams on the victim's land in Carmarthenshire. The 39-year-old farmer was ordered to pay £1,000 in compensation. Dyfed-Powys Police said this was the first time animal DNA evidence had been used in Wales in relation to stolen sheep. Swansea Crown Court heard 18 sheep were sold at Llanybydder market two weeks after about 50 sheep were stolen from Alan Price's land at Derwydd near Llandybie. Mart officials and farmers became suspicious of Thomas, from Garnant, after it became clear that the sheep's earmarks had been tampered with. Judge Geraint Walters said the "farming community had pulled together to defeat those who seek to deceive it". He sentenced Thomas to an eight month jail term, suspended for two years. Judge Walters told him he had "caused a great deal of hurt and had stolen from those he worked alongside," and it would be "long time before they forgave him". The strikes have been called off and some new medical postgraduates have begun their training under the new contract in England. So where now for the profession? A report from NHS Digital, the service's data provider, on the so-called weekend effect in England has reawakened memories of the junior doctor dispute. It became one of the most contentious issues in the long-running row. Ministers used evidence that patient care was less effective on Saturdays and Sundays than during the week to justify their seven-day NHS policy in England. They claimed that lower staffing levels were partly to blame and that a new contract for junior doctors was required to increase weekend cover. The British Medical Association union strongly disagreed, arguing there was no evidence that staffing levels had anything to do with the quality of care at weekends and that junior doctors already worked across weekends. The latest study by NHS Digital, the service's data provider, covering the year to March 2016, found that the odds of mortality within 30 days of admission for patients admitted at the weekend were 15% higher than those for midweek admissions. That's a similar conclusion to a study by Professor Nicholas Freemantle, of University College London, and others published last year. Recent research from the University of Manchester, however, said that such studies failed to take account of the more severe conditions typically displayed by patients arriving at weekends. The latest report on the state of the medical profession in the UK by the medical regulator has touched on another issue at the heart of the junior doctors' dispute - morale. The General Medical Council says there is now "a state of unease within the medical profession across the UK that risks affecting patients as well as doctors". The regulator says that while in 2012 nearly 78% of doctors who completed foundation training opted to go straight into specialty training rather than taking a break, this had fallen to just under 66% by 2015. The Department of Health said it was funding the NHS's own plan to transform services and central to that was listening to concerns of staff. The British Medical Association called off a planned series of five-day strikes by junior doctors in England after signs that there was far from unanimous support. Officially the BMA remains in dispute with the government but it has not said how it intends to continue its campaign of opposition. The legal action against the introduction of the contract by a group of doctors called Justice for Health was rejected by the High Court. The chance to appeal has come and gone, though lawyers for the campaign say the ruling did establish that Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt had no power to impose the contract and it was up to individual health trusts what they chose to do. Talks between the consultants and the Department of Health, meanwhile, have dragged on for more than a year. These senior doctors have not been in dispute with the government and, through the BMA, have indicated a willingness to discuss a new contract which ministers say will make it easier to increase staffing at weekends. Back at Easter there were optimistic noises about the consultants reaching agreement with employers. But since then there has been silence. There is a cynical view that it is not in anyone's interest for a new contract deal to be reached. The senior doctors won't want to be seen to be rubbing their junior colleagues' noses in it by reaching an agreement with the government. Ministers might feel they don't want to stir up more trouble and then risk the membership voting down a deal agreed by the BMA. Looming over all this is the government's seven-day NHS policy. Theresa May is understood to believe that, as it was in the Conservative manifesto, it's a commitment that should be delivered. But it is talked about less than in the David Cameron regime. There are immediate pressures to deal with, including the ability of the NHS to cope this winter. Downing Street may feel doctors' employment issues are best left on the backburner. Just 11% of workers who answered the 2016 Natural Resources Wales (NRW) People Survey said they had confidence in senior managers' decisions. NRW's Emyr Roberts said senior managers need to do more to support staff. Plaid AM Bethan Jenkins said "deep morale" problems exist in the agency. The survey follows the first such study held last year which found 14% of workers at NRW felt the merger of existing organisations that led to its formation was well managed. But this year's survey found that only 14% of people felt effective action was being taken on the results of the last one. According to the survey, only 10% of people gave a favourable response to the statement "I feel that the organisation as a whole is managed well" - 10% down on 2015. In total, 69% gave an "unfavourable" response. Just 11% said they had overall confidence in the decisions made by senior managers, 11% down on the year before. 65% did not. Some 47% said they felt valued for the work they do, down 7% on 2015. Mr Roberts said: "The results are disappointing and trends show the impact of continuing to deliver services during a time of constant change as we transition from three organisations into one whilst budgets decrease and we achieve the £158m savings that formed the business case for creating Natural Resources Wales. "However it has also been a time of great achievement and in three years we have continued to deliver important work to help the environment in Wales." But he added: "It is clear from the results of the staff survey that we, as senior managers, need to do more to support them through what remains a challenging time." Plaid AM Ms Jenkins said the survey showed "deep morale problems still exist among staff" at NRW. "Most concerning - certainly so far as the taxpayer goes - is the low level of confidence in NRW's management that staff have," she said. She said the cabinet secretary for the environment and rural affairs, Lesley Griffiths, "needs to outline as a matter of urgency a radical solution to these ongoing problems, in order to ensure that NRW remains fit for purpose". A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "This is a matter for the NRW Board. "The cabinet secretary has discussed the survey with the chair and chief executive and explained the importance of engaging staff fully in the changes NRW are taking forward under our new legislation." Out of 2,004 members of staff, 1,643 took part in the survey. Argentina striker Higuain's clinical low shot into the bottom corner set the hosts on their way. He made it three goals in three league games since joining in July for £75m from Napoli with a volley. Miralem Pjanic, a £25m signing from Roma, headed home on his debut before Sassuolo's Luca Antei pulled one back. Juventus, who start their Champions League campaign at home to Sevilla on Wednesday, have taken nine points from their first three league games, while defeat was Sassuolo's first of the season. Massimiliano Allegri's Juventus are three points clear of Genoa and Sampdoria, both of whom play on Sunday. Genoa host Fiorentina, while Sampdoria travel to Roma. Match ends, Juventus 3, Sassuolo 1.

Here are our five Terrier-rific facts. The next season will be the first time ever that Huddersfield Town will play in the Premier League. They have played in the top flight of English football before - the last time was 1972 - but that was before the Premier League started in 1992. The team are known as the Terriers and have the dog on the club emblem. Huddersfield also have two of them - Tilly and Terry - as their mascots. The club are also known just as Town for short. In 1926, Huddersfield became the first English club to win three successive league titles (back when it was Division One). It's an achievement only three other clubs have matched - Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. The town is the home of rugby league. It invented the sport in 1895! Today, Huddersfield Town share their stadium (Kirklees) with the town's rugby league team, Huddersfield Giants. The first and only time the club have won the FA Cup was back in 1922. They beat Preston North End 1-0. Huddersfield have also been runners-up four times. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Germany and the Netherlands of "Nazism" after officials blocked rallies there. Dutch PM Mark Rutte called his comments "unacceptable", while Germany's foreign minister said he hoped Turkey would "return to its senses". Denmark's leader has also postponed a planned meeting with Mr Erdogan. Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said he was concerned that "democratic principles are under great pressure" in Turkey. He added that he had postponed the meeting because: "With the current Turkish attacks on Holland the meeting cannot be seen separated from that." The rallies aim to encourage a large number of Turks living in Europe to vote yes in a referendum expanding the president's powers. However, planned rallies in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands were blocked after officials cited security concerns or said the rallies could stoke tensions. A gathering in France however went ahead after local officials said it did not pose a threat. Ties between the Turkish and Dutch leaders became particularly strained at the weekend after two Turkish ministers were barred from addressing rallies in Rotterdam, with one of them escorted to the German border. Mr Erdogan likened the Netherlands to "a banana republic", demanded international organisations impose sanctions on the Netherlands, and accused countries in the West of "Islamophobia". "I have said that I had thought that Nazism was over, but I was wrong. Nazism is alive in the West," he added. On Sunday, Mr Rutte demanded Mr Erdogan apologise for likening the Dutch to "Nazi fascists". "This country was bombed during the Second World War by Nazis. It's totally unacceptable to talk in this way." The Netherlands would have to consider its response if Turkey continued on its current path, he added. Meanwhile, German ministers also appeared to harden their rhetoric against Turkey. Despite Chancellor Angela Merkel saying her government was not opposed to Turkish ministers attending rallies in Germany, as long as they are "duly announced", her interior minister said he was opposed to Turkish political gatherings in Germany. "A Turkish campaign has no business being here in Germany," Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told local media. Separately, Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Turkey had "destroyed the basis for further progress in co-operation". Reports say the owner of a venue in the Swedish capital, Stockholm, also cancelled a pro-Erdogan rally on Sunday that was to have been attended by Turkey's agriculture minister. Sweden's foreign ministry said it was not involved in the decision and that the event could take place elsewhere. Turkey is holding a referendum on 16 April on whether to turn from a parliamentary to a presidential republic, more akin to the United States. If successful, it would give sweeping new powers to the president, allowing him or her to appoint ministers, prepare the budget, choose the majority of senior judges and enact certain laws by decree. What's more, the president alone would be able to announce a state of emergency and dismiss parliament. There are 5.5 million Turks living outside the country, with 1.4 million eligible voters in Germany alone - and the Yes campaign is keen to get them on side. So a number of rallies have been planned for countries with large numbers of eligible voters, including Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. Many of the countries, including Germany, have cited security concerns as the official reason. Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz said Mr Erdogan was not welcome to hold rallies as this could increase friction and hinder integration. Many European nations have also expressed deep disquiet about Turkey's response to the July coup attempt and the country's perceived slide towards authoritarianism under President Erdogan. Germany in particular has been critical of the mass arrests and purges that followed - with nearly 100,000 civil servants removed from their posts. Owsley beat stiff competition from players in Germany, the Netherlands and New Zealand to take the global young player of the year honour. After the heartache of narrowly missing out on a Commonwealth Games gold medal, and suffering serious illness, it completes a remarkable turnaround. Here the 21-year-old tells of her surprise at winning the award, how she opted for hockey ahead of athletics and football, and going from Olympic spectator to competitor. Listen: Owsley tells BBC World Service about her 2015 dramas Owsley won the female Rising Star of the Year award, given by hockey governing body FIH, after votes cast by fellow players and the public. She beat competition from fellow shortlisted contenders Xan De Waard and Maria Verschoor (both from the Netherlands), Charlotte Stapenhorst (Germany) and Rose Keddell (New Zealand). So how did the University of Birmingham student find out about the accolade? "I was just on a train on my way up to Nottingham having a coffee and I just looked at my phone. It blew up a bit. The support and messages I got after were just amazing," she said. "I was in a carriage and people were kind of looking and I just went: 'Yay, I'm so happy' and let it all out. A few people were looking at me like: 'Can you be quiet? I'm trying to get to work here.' I was annoying a few people, I was in shock." Less than a year ago, the forward was hooked up to a drip in hospital after contacting meningitis. Within six months, she had fully recovered, helped Great Britain to qualify for the 2016 Olympics and England to win the European Championship. "Just like all quite serious illnesses, you don't know what's going to happen, but it was very short-lived luckily and no bad repercussions. It wasn't the best thing to get and not great timing but it feels so long ago now," she recalled. In the summer of 2014, Owsley put England ahead in the Commonwealth final and they were 11 seconds from gold before an Australia equaliser and defeat on penalties. Fast forward 12 months, and she equalised for England in the European final before they won gold in a penalty shoot-out against the Netherlands. "It was unbelievable. I can't really describe it. It's got to go down as my all-time favourite moment of my career when Maddie [Hinch] made the last save and we all went mental. I probably reached my highest speed running to celebrate," she said. "I was watching in the Olympic Park and thinking these girls are just ridiculous. I thought I would never, ever, be as good as these girls." Owsley is talking about the last Olympic Games, in London, four years ago when GB's women won Olympic bronze. Now she is preparing to compete herself at the Rio Olympics this summer. "I'd never watched senior hockey before because I was a bit of a football 'hooligan', always watching football, and it was absolutely incredible to watch them - they were athletic, skilful, at the peak of their game. "You get to realise when you're in it that they are talented but they work that bit much harder, they are up earlier, training, faster, fitter, more skilful. It is completely doable, and possible to be like that." A talented footballer, Owsley played for Bristol City's junior women's team, and was coached at one staged by Mark Sampson, who went on to lead England to a historic third place at the Women's World Cup last year. "It's Bristol, we breed 'em," she joked on mention of Sampson's own recent spell in the limelight, shortlisted for coach of the year at the Fifa Ballon D'Or awards. Media playback is not supported on this device "I played under Mark for quite a long time and he's such a great guy, such a good coach, which has been shown through what he's done with the Lionesses. I'm glad everyone has seen what he can do." Owsley, who had also excelled as a middle-distance runner, took up hockey when she moved to a new secondary school aged 13. "They chucked a stick in my hand and I was terrible. I was awful but after three or four sessions, I slowly moved up the ranks. This much later I am still obsessed with the sport, I absolutely love it. "For young people to try to get inspired by a sport, you just have to try everything. Everyone has a different preference and skill set, you're bound to find somewhere you do belong. Don't try to specialise too early. "Hockey needs fitness, speed, skill - it's everything in one game. It's fast, athletic and on top of that you have to think under fatigue and pressure. It's such a big range of skills." How tough is it? "If you get knocks, bruises, cuts, it's not until you get in the showers after games that you realise: 'Wow that hurts.' It is rough," she admitted. "I do now wear a mouth guard. I was told I had to. It's so dangerous and so many people get hit in the mouth, it's not worth it. It took me about 10 years to realise a hockey ball was harder than a football." Younger brother Freddie, 19, is also on the path to sporting success, having plumped for athletics over rugby union, and joined a sprint group headed by top coach Tony Hadley, as he bids to reach the world junior championships this year. "I actually live with him. He's an inspiration to me - he's so dedicated and determined to make it in his sport. The 400m is his event, where inches and centimetres make all the difference. We really spur each other on," said Lily. "There's a massive family competition rivalry. If I can do something, he will try to top that. We really push each other on. It's kind of unbelievable to watch him change from this teenage boy to this mature professional athlete. "He's got his eyes set on the 2018 Commonwealths on the Gold Coast. It would be a dream come true to be in a competition with my brother. The rest of the family would be immensely proud. To watch him and compete in the same tournament for the same team would be unbelievable." Media playback is not supported on this device Before that Owsley and her Great Britain team-mates will go to Rio as genuine Olympic gold medal contenders. "If any year has, 2015 has shown we are a team to be reckoned with," she says. "We've proved that through the Olympic qualifiers [by being] unbeaten, then the Europeans unbeaten. I think in the last year we have beaten every top team in the world. "The Olympics is a chance for us to show we are the best team in the world and we can win gold." One site receives as many as 500 page views per second, its founder says. Figures from another site suggest Brits are heavily involved in producing and distributing illegal obscene images. Britain's National Crime Agency warned in its 2014 threat assessment that abusers were turning to anonymous sites and encryption technology. The dark net is the term used to refer to parts of the internet that are hidden and can be hard to access without special software. One of the most popular products used to access such areas is called the TorBrowser. It allows people to use Tor, an "onion-routing" system which makes a PC's net address untraceable by bouncing the encrypted data it sends through several randomly selected computer servers on a volunteer network - each of which removes a level of encryption - before it reaches its destination. There are also many hidden sites on the network ending in the .onion suffix, which cannot be found using Google or other regular search engines. Tor was first created by the US military but is now also used by pro-democracy campaigners, whistleblowers and journalists operating under repressive regimes. It was used by activists during the Arab Spring to avoid detection. But criminals are also taking advantage of its anonymity. BBC News contacted a man who, until recently, ran a site on the dark net for paedophiles to swap images of child sexual abuse. He used untraceable email and encrypted messages. There's no way of confirming his identity but he has provided proof that he was owner of the site, which stopped operating in May. He admitted he was an active paedophile. "We had over 40,000 user accounts on the site. We used to get sometimes 500 page views per second. My own collection is 12 gigabytes," he wrote. He claimed that, until he closed the site, the number of users was still growing. "There certainly are more paedophiles coming to the dark net. I don't know if these new users are brand new paedophiles discovering child porn for the first time or if these are people who used to swap on the 'clear net' but found Tor which is much safer." As for his personal safety, he was confident police couldn't find him. "I don't want to go into details about my security set-up but it is designed with many layers to keep me safe from even the most capable adversaries in the world," he said. The threat posed by these kinds of sites has been recognised by governments around the world. In November, the British prime minister, David Cameron, held a summit at Downing Street on online safety. He said he expected the spy agencies and GCHQ to lend their skills to the police. "That expertise is going to be brought to bear, to go after these revolting people sharing these images on the dark net," he said. But IT experts are divided as to whether it's possible to create a workable "backdoor" into Tor, which would allow users to be identified. Several countries' police forces are working together, under the banner of The Virtual Global Taskforce, to tackle online child exploitation worldwide. The body's chairman, Ian Quinn, said Tor was an emerging threat. "It's certainly a challenge, I'm hesitant to describe law enforcement techniques but it's something we're definitely keeping an eye on." When asked if paedophiles were indeed moving from the conventional internet to the dark net, he replied: "I think you have to suppose that's the case, based on the investigations that we do." But some security specialists believe there are innovative ways to unmask the users of paedophile sites. Greg Virgin runs software company Redjack and is helping the human rights group International Justice Mission, which campaigns against child abuse. He uses complex algorithms to mine dark net chat rooms for data. "The typical law enforcement approaches to finding out what computers are being used are no longer available," he said. But by analysing the traffic on one particular site, he says he's able to find out much more about its users. Of more than 10,000 users, he said 2,000 were "producers of content", meaning child abusers who post pictures of that abuse on the site. Of these, 20% were from the UK, he said. In several postings users refer to living in particular parts of the UK and ask to arrange meetings. "They actually divide themselves up into regions - the South West, South East, North East and London," Mr Virgin observed. He added the site was actually encouraging abuse. "It's a guide for paedophiles and a support system for paedophiles to get more extreme." The website DeepDotWeb.com reports on dark net developments. "On Tor I know about probably 20 to 50 sites from looking at public directories but I guess there are more that are not as public," said its founder, who wanted to remain anonymous. He added that most deep net users were "disgusted" by the paedophile sites. "The 'deep web' is still, just an open reflection of the real world thanks to its anonymous conduct, so this problem needs to be tackled in the real world. "The 'deep web' is nothing more than a peep hole into this unfortunate reality." The 46-year-old victim suffered serious abdominal wounds in the attack early on Tuesday morning at the Britannia Hotel on Dialstone Lane in Offerton. She was taken to hospital where she remains in a "serious but stable" condition, police said. The 47-year-old man was arrested in Leeds on Thursday and is being held in police custody for questioning. Ch Supt Wayne Miller said officers "believe this was an isolated incident... but our investigation continues as we follow a number of lines of inquiry". "I would urge anyone who may have been staying at the hotel or was in the area at the time to contact us," he added.

The drugs, which have an estimated street value of £1.2m, were discovered at an address in Thatto Heath, St Helens, on Friday along with £500,000. The remaining £30,000 was found in a car outside another property in Huyton. Two men, aged 52 and 56, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs and money laundering, and are being questioned by police. Det Insp Nick Hughes, from the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit, said it was "committed to tackling the blight of drugs on our streets". The coffee chain said its pre-tax profit in the UK fell 61% to £13.4m in the year to 2 October. Starbucks' corporate tax bill also fell from £8.4m to £6.7m. The US firm has faced heavy criticism for the amount of tax it pays in the UK. "Starbucks in the UK has experienced significant economic and geopolitical headwinds this year which affected sales, including slowing economic growth, [the] impact of Brexit and ongoing security security concerns contributing to weakening consumer confidence," Starbucks said. In November, the coffee chain reported record annual profits on a global basis, but that was mainly down to a big rise in sales in the Americas. In the UK, growth in like-for-like sales - which strip out the impact of new stores - slowed to 1%, down from a rate of 3.8% in the previous year. Starbucks said that UK investment and restructuring costs had also affected its profits. Martin Brok, the president of Starbucks in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said: "Whilst there are undoubted challenges presented by a more cautious consumer environment, lower High Street footfall, and adverse currency impacts, we are investing significantly to drive innovation in our food and coffee offering, and are greatly encouraged by our customers' response." The coffee giant had a reduced tax bill after its profits fell. In 2012 Starbucks said it would pay significantly more in tax after a public outcry about its UK corporate tax bill. Before 2012, the company paid just £8.6m in 14 years of trading in the UK, despite sales worth billions of pounds. The 15-year-old, whose family home is in the West Dunbartonshire town, was last seen on Saturday morning. Her body was discovered in a wooded area, just off Great Western Road, at about 12:45 on Monday. Ms Doherty's family said they were "absolutely devastated" after police confirmed she had been murdered. Posting on Facebook, the teenager's mother Pamela Munro wrote: "We are absolutely devastated, as will many people who know her will be xxx." Det Supt Duncan Sloan, of Police Scotland's major investigations unit, confirmed that a murder inquiry was under way during a news conference on Tuesday. He told reporters: "The body of a 15-year-old girl who was found here yesterday, I can now confirm was positively identified as Paige Doherty who was reported missing from Clydebank on Saturday evening. "I want to announce that this is being treated as a murder investigation." The schoolgirl, who was 4ft 8in and slim, with long dark hair, was wearing a dark jacket, jeans and white Nike trainers when she went missing. She was last seen at about 08:15 on Saturday when she left a friend's house in Clydebank and it is thought she was making her way to a bus stop to travel to the hairdressers where she worked in Kirkintilloch, about 12 miles away. The alarm was raised later when she did not show up. Missing posters were put up around the town and a dedicated Facebook page was set up to help find her. Det Supt Sloan said officers were trying to trace Ms Doherty's movements. "I am appealing to members of the public - we need to piece together the movements of Paige from 8.20am on Saturday when she went missing until we find the body at around 1pm on Monday," he said. "Anybody who knows Paige, please come forward with any information around her lifestyle or any reason why you think somebody would have attacked Paige." The detective said this was a "harrowing time" for Ms Doherty's family and said his heart went out to them. He described the teenager as a "warm" girl with a future planned ahead of her and said he was "open to all motives" for the murder. "Paige was a young, friendly girl with plenty of friends and for her life to be taken away so brutally at such a young age is unfathomable to everyone," he added. Laura Mason, chief education officer at West Dunbartonshire Council, also paid tribute to the teenager. She said: "Paige was a bright and popular pupil with a good sense of humour. "Our thoughts are with Paige's family and friends, and we are doing everything we can to support our young people at this sad time." Det Supt Sloan did not reveal what injuries the teenager sustained but said a post-mortem examination would be held on Tuesday afternoon to determine the exact cause of death. He added: "We will do all in our power to investigate this and bring some answers as to the circumstances leading to the death of Paige Doherty." Forensic officers were continuing to work at the site where her body was found. A large area is cordoned off and a police tent remains in place. The big question is whether the party can take advantage of the current vulnerability of Labour in the council elections in May. There are two potential difficulties: one is the close working relationship with Labour at the assembly which could dent Plaid's ability to make gains, and the other is that it is looking to win control of councils in areas in the south Wales valleys which voted to Leave. The party's pro-remain credentials were on display for all to see when, by far, Leanne Wood's biggest cheer in her speech came when she spoke about Wales being open to migrants with the right skills. But as a number of party members told me, all of these factors will play second fiddle to the quality of candidates and the massive melting pot of local issues that will form the backdrop to the council election. And then in the middle of it all came the decision to suspend as a councillor for a month Neil McEvoy, the man who is spearheading Plaid's campaigning in Cardiff. His arrival at the Riverfront theatre to cheers from his supporters confirmed his status as Plaid's top publicity machine. In typically outspoken fashion, he branded the Adjudication Panel for Wales a farce, but the decision poses problems for the party. An official tribunal has upheld a complaint of bullying against him - a subject which Leanne Wood herself has campaigned strongly against. The party's chair Alun Ffred Jones told me the one month suspension is less than he has seen dished out to other councillors on less serious issues than bullying but nevertheless Plaid knows it will come under pressure to take some kind of action after a judgement like this. Compared to the last few conferences, which admittedly took place ahead of general and assembly elections and in the wake of Brexit, this felt a flatter affair, and may just be a reflection of where we are in the political cycle. There was an interesting idea floated to raise a penny on income tax in Wales to help fund health and education, but frankly the next assembly campaign feels like an eternity away when you consider how much is yet to play out on Brexit before then. Some of the more interesting conversations I had this weekend related to the dynamic within Labour, and whether a result like the Copeland by-election signals game-changing opportunities for other parties which did not exist before. My sense is that Plaid knows it may not have a better chance to take lumps out of Labour's support, and as a result working closely with them at the Senedd for an extended period of time may not be in their best interests. The counter view is that Brexit has created an exceptional time in which Plaid is prepared to work in the national interest, and sit round a table with Labour ministers. This debate is continuing. The £1bn elephant in the room is a decision on the M4 relief road if the current public inquiry comes out in favour of the Labour Welsh Government-supported black route. If that happens, it's difficult to see the status quo continuing because of he level of opposition within Plaid. Economic and geographic inequality was a major theme of Leanne Wood's speech. The criticism that too much goes to Cardiff, at the expense of the rest of Wales, had the feel of an old classic that had been dusted down from a shelf for the occasion, although she put the boot into the Cardiff city deal in a way we have not seen before. Officials were keen to stress that this was not gratuitously kicking Cardiff, but making the case for spreading the wealth. And it is undoubtedly good safe territory that will play well on the doorsteps in the council campaign, which is just what Plaid needs at this point in time. The announcement came after Yafai stretched his unbeaten record to 20 fights with a third-round stoppage of Nicaraguan Johnson Tellez on Saturday. Panama's Concepcion defeated Kohei Kono in Tokyo in August to win the belt. The fight will be on the undercard of IBF heavyweight Anthony Joshua's title defence. Yafai told Sky Sports: "Now I have the big fight and Concepcion is a great fighter, a two-weight world champion and it has the recipe to be a great fight." The public transport firm aims to cut costs by £3.1m annually. It plans to make some managers and supervisors redundant and cut overhead and administration costs. Translink said its priority was to protect front-line services. "I am confident this voluntary exit scheme will achieve the management, overhead and administration cost target we have set ourselves to address the significant government funding cuts in the year ahead of £13m, equivalent to 20% of our funding," Translink director Gordon Milligan said. "We are briefing staff internally and we are engaged in discussions with the trade unions Ologu, 26, has come in from West Midlands League Premier Division side Dudley Town on a short-term deal. "He was training with the group coming on after us," said boss Carl Heeley. "As we were packing the kit away after we'd done, we were watching and this one lad stood out by a country mile." The City joint manager told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "We could have said it was the European scouting network that we'd set up, but I don't think anyone would have believed that. The fact is, we've taken a punt on him. "When we pulled him out and had a little word with him, it transpired that he'd played in the Romanian top flight and had come over to England looking for a professional club. It's a strange stroke of luck. We'll just have to see how he copes with the rigours of National League North." "We don't know how we he'll adapt but we've given him a short-term deal. He's got great technique and he works hard but we need to get his fitness up. He played in a friendly at Halesowen, scored a great free-kick and looked very lively, but he unfortunately picked up a little groin strain which has knocked him back a bit." After a poor first half of the season, relegation-threatened City, last season's FA Cup heroes, currently stand 16th in National League North ahead of Tuesday night's home game with fellow strugglers Stalybridge Celtic, when victory would lift them seven points clear of trouble. Back in Romania, Marius Ologu began with his hometown club Universitatea Craiova, for whom he made 17 appearances before leaving in 2011 to join Astra Ploiesti. He has since played for Turnu Severin, Targu Mures, Caransebes and National Sebis, prior to coming to England to sign for Dudley in December. Late last year Ubisoft issued a public apology to gamers for glitches affecting some high-profile titles. The bugs in Assassin's Creed Unity meant some in-game characters appeared without faces. The admission came as the company showed off footage of upcoming titles and unveiled some completely new games. "This has been a very intense year for Ubisoft," said Aisha Tyler, host of the press conference, adding that the company's "passionate players" had given the company a lot of "constructive feedback" on the problems they experienced with some of the company's games. She said the company had taken the comments "very, very seriously" and had fed the "ear-burning NSFW comments" back in to its development process in a bid to learn from what had happened. After acknowledging the criticism, Ubisoft gave demonstrations of game play from several upcoming titles. One of the first was Assassin's Creed Syndicate which is set in London in 1868. A video unveiled at the conference showed a pub brawl between rival gangs and a chase involving horse-drawn carriages. The game is set to be released on 23 October. Also on show was The Division - a post-apocalyptic, open-world survival shooter set in the US after a virus knocks out all central government and law enforcement. It gave a look at one part of The Division's game world called the Dark Zone - a lawless, contested area of New York inhabited by heavily-armed bandits and looters. First announced in 2013, the Division is due to be released on 8 March, 2016. Footage from the counter-terrorist squad-based shooter Rainbow Six Siege was also aired. The game was first mentioned last year but in 2015 attendees will be able to play some of its maps at the Ubisoft stand. Pop star Jason Derulo performed on stage to promote the 2016 version of Just Dance. Ubisoft is also planning to launch a music streaming service for it that regularly introduces new songs to players that subscribe to Just Dance Unlimited. Entirely new titles included For Honor and Ghost Recon Wildlands. For Honor is based around hand-to-hand melee combat between small groups of knights, Vikings and other savage warriors. The brutal and bloody console game pits two teams of four players against each other in short battles. The Ghost Recon reboot is set in a massive open world and puts players in a squad of special forces soldiers who have the job of infiltrating and taking down several drug cartels. Ubisoft also unveiled a new game featuring the unruly children from South Park. The first, called The Stick of Truth, has a fantasy theme but the second outing is a superhero game called The Fractured But Whole. "We might regret it, but we're doing it again," said Trey Parker, co-creator of the South Park cartoon. You can follow all of the BBC's coverage from E3 2015 via the hashtag, #e3bbc No trace of the plane has been recovered in the southern Indian Ocean, after more than two years of searching. MH370 disappeared while flying to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board in 2014. With the search to end soon, Australian officials say it will not be extended. Australia's Transport Minister Darren Chester said the search would be unlikely to go beyond the scheduled end of January or February 2017 as the report does not give a "specific location" for the aircraft. The governments of Australia, Malaysia and China, who are funding the search, had previously agreed that "we will be suspending the search unless credible evidence is available" that identifies the location, he said. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), tasked to coordinate the search, convened a review with a multi-national team of aviation and science experts in November. Its latest report, based on that meeting, said "there is a high degree of confidence that the previously identified underwater area searched to date does not contain the missing aircraft". Search vessels have been looking in a 120,000 sq km (46,332 sq miles) part of the southern Indian Ocean. Experts identified a new area of approximately 25,000 sq km to the north of the current search area that had the "highest probability" of containing the wreckage. "The participants of the First Principles Review were in agreement on the need to search an additional area representing approximately 25,000 km²". This was the last area the plane could possibly be located, given current evidence, the report said. Their conclusion was based on new flight simulations and analysis of satellite communications, as well as drift modelling patterns based on the timing and locations of the discovery of debris. Some debris pieces confirmed to be from MH370 have been found along the African coast and islands in the Indian Ocean by private citizens in recent months. The experts also said the plane was on an "unstable flight path" and that its wing flaps were in a retracted position, in line with earlier findings by the ATSB that the plane made a "rapid and uncontrolled descent". The ATSB said it had presented the recommendation to the Malaysian, Chinese and Australian governments. Only one vessel is left searching for the plane in the current search area. Yussuf scored one and made two more despite only coming off the bench just after the hour mark in a game that came to life with five goals in the last 20 minutes. The frontman broke the deadlock when he scored just seconds after coming off the bench with a cool finish after the ball fell perfectly into his path after Kaby Djalo's shot had been blocked. Yussuf then turned provider seven minutes from time when he ran down the ball on the right-hand byline and pulled it back to tee up James Collins to double the Reds' advantage from 12 yards out. The home side gave themselves hope when they pulled one back two minutes from time when Michael Rose curled a superb free-kick around the Crawley wall from 20 yards out to beat Glenn Morris low to his right-hand side. But the visitors restored their two-goal advantage moments later when Yussuf once again provided the telling pullback to tee up midfielder Jim Smith to stroke the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the Morecambe goal. There was still more to come, however, as Morecambe scored a second two minutes into stoppage time, when Cole Stockton volleyed superbly past Morris from the edge of the area. Kevin Ellison almost snatched a dramatic leveller four minutes into stoppage time but his shot was superbly blocked on the line. Report supplied by the Press Association.

Border Force officers at Southampton Port found five statues filled with cigarettes in a shipping container. James Reber, 51, from Second Avenue in Hove, pleaded guilty to evading £31,000 in excise duty and VAT. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison, suspended for two years, at Lewes Crown Court. The multi-coloured fibreglass statues were found when officers searched a shipping container which had arrived from Indonesia in June 2013. An HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) investigation into the container's paperwork led to Reber who initially told officers he was importing furniture but knew nothing about the Buddhas or cigarettes. John Cooper of HMRC said: "This was a crafty attempt to smuggle illicit cigarettes into the UK, solely to avoid paying excise duty and VAT." Markets which track investors' expectations for the key rate give a near 100% likelihood of a rise. It would be only the third time in a decade that the US central bank has increased rates. Analysts said the odds strengthened on Friday after figures showed better than expected jobs growth in February. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, US employers added 235,000 new jobs, exceeding economists' forecasts. Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen said last week that the central bank could raise rates in March if employment and inflation figures met their expectations. The Fed increased rates, which have been at near-historic lows since the financial crisis, to a range of 0.5% to 0.75% in December. The futures market for the key Federal fund interest rate puts the likelihood of a rate rise at between 98% and 100%, according to Bloomberg data. This level of probability was "about as inevitable as it gets," said Kathleen Brooks, research director at City Index. "They basically have to hike rates next week because the market expects them to," she added. Paul Ashworth, chief US economist at Capital Economics, said the number of jobs added in February would "erase any lingering doubts that the Fed might not hike interest rates next week". The US labour market is "where the Fed wants it to be", which "seals the deal for a rate hike next week", said Gus Faucher, deputy chief economist at PNC. Employers in the US have added more than two million jobs in the past 12 months, and the latest figures show that labour market strength continued into February. For the Federal Reserve, one of the key issues is that the continued jobs growth is likely in time to contribute to higher wages and price rises. Already financial markets were expecting that the Fed will try to pre-empt a sharp future rise in inflation by raising interest rates at a policy making meeting next week. Friday's figures reinforce that expectation. Traders also see better than even odds of two further rate rises this year, based on the price of Fed funds futures contracts traded at CME Group's Chicago Board of Trade. The Fed's next meeting will conclude on Wednesday 15 March. The Trump administration also welcomed the jobs figures, which covered President Trump's first full month in office. Sean Spicer, the president's press secretary, tweeted that the figures were "great news for American workers... in first report for [President] Trump". The growth in new US jobs has been gathering pace in recent months, and there were other signs that US businesses continued to gain strength in February. The unemployment rate edged lower to 4.7%, with construction adding the most new jobs in nearly a decade. Average hourly wages increased by 6 cents from January to $26.09 and were up 2.8% from a year earlier. The labour force participation rate also edged up to 63%, the highest rate since March 2016. Mr Trump has promised to create 25 million jobs over 10 years to become "the greatest jobs president ... ever". Llyr Gruffydd said he "read with amazement" that Economy Secretary Ken Skates supported proposals for another venue in the capital. The Plaid AM for North Wales said there was already "a plethora of venues along the M4 corridor". The Welsh Government said it would be for the club to put forward plans. "We're not getting our share and we deserve better," said Mr Gruffydd. He asked where the "vision and ambition" was "to develop similar centres of excellence here in the north". Mr Gruffydd said Eirias Park in Colwyn Bay had been developed as a rugby and entertainment hub, but the Racecourse football ground could do with more support. In 2008, the stadium was officially recognised as the oldest football stadium in the world still hosting international games, with a 200-year history as a sporting venue. Wrexham AFC fans, who run the club, signed a 99-year lease to take it over last year. Mr Gruffydd described it as "the oldest surviving international football stadium in the world" and "the spiritual home of Welsh football" which was "moving forward" under community ownership. A Welsh Government spokesman said: "Wrexham AFC and the Racecourse have a long and proud history. It would be for the club and its owners to put forward plans and a sustainable business case for any improvements to the stadium. "The Welsh Government has been engaging with the club over future plans and we have also held discussions with other groups concerning other facilities in the north of Wales. "No financial support for an arena in Cardiff has been promised and the Welsh Government is keen to support the development of strategy for sports facilities fit for the 21st Century across Wales." Moore and Mica McNeill won the junior Bobsleigh World Championship pair in Winterberg despite only beginning to compete together this winter. The 24-year-old is hoping to compete in the Winter Olympics in South Korea in February 2018. She also aims to represent Wales in the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. "Bobsleigh is taking priority at the moment but it will interesting to see where my athletics is," said Moore. Prior to taking up bobsleigh, Moore competed for Wales as a sprinter at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and had a 100m personal best of 11.65 seconds. Moore has turned to bobsleigh this winter and after two silvers and a bronze on the North American circuit, the Newport sprinter struck gold in Germany with McNeil. "It was my first World Junior Championships, so to win gold was very satisfying," Moore told BBC Wales Sport. "It was especially nice to have my Dad out there watching me live for the first time. "He drove all the way out there which took about 12 hours but he said it was the most thrilling thing he had ever seen. "Things haven't always gone to plan so far. In Altenberg in a World Cup race we came off the last corner and we crashed. "It's not a nice experience but not as scary as you might thing. You just have to get back on the sled and I have complete trust in Mica as a driver. "It's very hard work which I really enjoy, although it's so different to athletics." Moore will now have to wait and see whether she is chosen for the World Championships in Konigssee which takes place between 17 and 26 February. The Welsh woman has been alternating with fellow Great Britain sprinter Montell Douglas to partner McNeill during this season. Douglas and McNeill won gold in the Europa Cup event staged at Winterberg two days before the junior competition. The pair are in action at the World Cup event in Austria this weekend. Paul McCann worked with young players at the club in the 1980s and 90s. From 2014-15, he volunteered as a youth coach at non-league club AFC Bebington, in the Merseyside area. The BBC understands that Mr McCann has said he will co-operate with any investigation. The FA has not confirmed the interim suspension or given any reason for it. Mr McCann was a coach at Crewe Alexandra working with then-manager Dario Gradi, who is now the club's director. He was placed in charge of the club's reserve and youth team. As a voluntary position, he was not paid for the work. He is described in a history of Crewe Alexandra as a "long-standing club stalwart" and "one of the key men behind reserve and youth team football at Crewe". In the same book, Dario Gradi is quoted as saying Mr McCann was a "super guy". In December 2016, Mr Gradi was suspended pending a Football Association investigation that will include looking into claims he "smoothed over" a complaint of sexual assault against a Chelsea scout in the 1970s. He denies any wrongdoing. Mr McCann left the club at the end of 1991. He moved abroad with his main job, which was not connected to football - first to the Netherlands and then Australia, before returning to the UK. Mr McCann has since taken his Uefa A coaching licence, which allows him to coach professional teams. In 2014 he was listed as the assistant youth team manager of AFC Bebington, a local side in the Merseyside area. He stopped coaching at the club when it was disbanded in 2015. Following the FA's suspension, thought to have been introduced in December 2016, he is not allowed to work in the sport in any capacity until he receives further notice. Mr McCann has previously told the Guardian: "I have not done anything wrong. This process is in place to help the investigation take its due course. I am collateral damage." The BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel. The incident happened on the 501 service between Dumfries and Castle Douglas on Sunday at about 18:20. The 16-year-old girl got on the bus at the Loreburne Centre before the man in his 50s boarded at the Whitesands. He sat next to the teenager and engaged in "inappropriate conversation" before touching her a number of times. He later left the bus at Beeswing. Police want to trace the man described as being in his mid 50s, of medium build and with short grey hair. He was unshaven and had dark, bushy eyebrows. His appearance was said to be "unkempt" with yellow stained fingers and nails. The man had a local Scottish accent and was wearing blue jeans and a black "trench style" jacket. PC Anthony Cropley said: "We are appealing to anyone who may have been on this bus on Sunday night to come forward if they can help identify this man. "Likewise anyone who regularly uses this service between Dumfries and Castle Douglas, if they have seen this man on other occasions and can help identify him then we would be glad to hear from them. "This incident left a 16-year-old girl in a shocked and distressed state and we are keen to trace the man responsible." Media playback is not supported on this device The National League Imps have exited at the first-round stage in each of the last three seasons but Raggett's first-half header and an effort from Alan Power after the break meant John Cyrus' late goal was no more than a consolation. City were always the superior side and were desperately unlucky not to break the deadlock early on when Harry Anderson stole possession 25 yards from goal before thundering a first-time effort against the crossbar. But the hosts didn't wait long to open the scoring as a pinpoint corner from Sam Habergham in the 21st-minute was headed home by Raggett from six yards. Chance after chance fell to the Imps after the break as they searched for the killer second - Theo Robinson somehow heading wide from close-range after 55 minutes. But they made no mistake on the hour mark as Nathan Arnold scampered through the middle before slipping in Power, who finished delightfully. The National League North visitors, against the run of play, halved the deficit on 75 minutes when Cyrus rose above a static home defence to nod home a corner but it was too late.

Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan had initially been negotiating a deal which would have seen them acquire more than 75% of the shares. That would effectively have given them complete control, including the power to issue more shares. The new deal will protect the influence of the Swansea City Supporters' Trust, which will retain its 21% stake. Had Levien and Kaplan bought the initial stake of 75%, their ability to issue more shares could have diminished the value of the trust's shares. The trust's Jim White had previously told BBC Wales Sport he and his fellow members were seeking "assurances" from the Americans, as a 75.1% share should have seen them hold sway over other shareholders. Swansea had already confirmed chairman Huw Jenkins and vice-chairman Leigh Dineen would keep their roles in the event of a takeover. At this stage, it is not known how many shares each shareholder will be selling. Levien and Kaplan, who have been in negotiations with Swansea for months, will not comment publicly until a formal agreement has been reached. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of the current Premier League season. Officers found the body at a house in St George's Avenue in Yeovil, Somerset, after receiving a tip-off. A 29-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of infanticide has since been released on bail. Officers said the discovery was not connected to the property's current tenant. Avon and Somerset Police said it could not confirm whether the arrested woman was related to the baby. "As our inquiries are continuing, we would ask the public not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding this incident," a spokesman said. "We are continuing to work closely with the family concerned and helping them through this difficult time." Officers said they launched an investigation last week after police were tipped off that a child may be buried there. BG shares were up 242.60p to 1,153p after it agreed to a cash and shares offer from Shell that would value each BG share at about 1,350p. Royal Dutch Shell 'A' shares fell 5.3% while Royal Dutch Shell 'B' shares dropped 8.6%. The FTSE 100 fell 24.36 points to 6,937.41, but energy shares saw gains in the wake of the deal. BP shares rose 0.5%, Ophir Energy climbed 7.4% and Tullow Oil jumped 4.4%. "Already the largest FTSE 100 constituent by a considerable margin, this deal will further consolidate Shell's position in that regard," said Richard Hunter at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers. "There are clear attractions from Shell's viewpoint, including its additional exposure to LNG, almost immediate cost synergies and, in due course, asset sales from a partial break up of BG's operations." Shares in satellite broadcaster Sky rose 1.6% following reports that French media group Vivendi was mulling a possible bid for the firm. The Reuters news agency cited three unnamed sources familiar with the matter as saying a bid for Sky was one of a number of options being looked at to expand Vivendi's TV group Canal Plus. On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.78% against the dollar to $1.4925 and was up 0.76% against the euro to €1.3799. The wooden interior of the new design means installing an internal cauldron could violate Japanese fire codes. The stadium has been hit by delays and controversy over the cost of an earlier design by Zaha Hadid. A cheaper design, by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, was chosen in December last year. The new design will cost 149bn yen ($1.2bn; £825m) to build. Ms Hadid's plan would have cost 252bn yen, making it the world's most expensive sports venue. The International Olympic Committee deadline for completion is January 2020, ahead of the Games' start in July that year. "It appears things were proceeding under the old plans without much discussion [of where to put the cauldron,]" Olympics Minister Toshiaki Endo said. "The lighting of the flame is the main event of the Olympics. As for exactly how it will be done and where the cauldron will be, that will be discussed at a later date," he added. He said that he hoped a solution to the problem would be found before April. Mr Endo will head a panel set up to review the situation of the cauldron. The International Olympic Committee stipulates that the cauldron should be placed so that it is easy to see for spectators. Designers had considered placing the cauldron outside the stadium, but this was met with opposition from Japan's Olympics committee. The Olympic flame is lit in Olympia, Greece, before travelling across the world in a torch relay. The lighting of the Olympic cauldron by the final torchbearer marks the start of the Games. Not making it public would be "misleading", he said. He was aware of a risk of being "misunderstood", given that the FBI does not know the significance of the newly found emails. Mrs Clinton said the FBI's move was "unprecedented" and "deeply troubling". Her Republican rival Donald Trump has praised the bureau's decision. On Friday, just 11 days before the presidential election, Mr Comey wrote to Congress, saying the FBI had learned of fresh emails which may be "pertinent" to its previous inquiry into the Democratic presidential candidate's use of a private server when she was secretary of state. He has been heavily criticised by Clinton supporters - and according to the New York Times, justice department officials - for his decision to make the information public so close to polling day. In the memo, reported by the NYT, Fox News and the Associated Press, he acknowledged that "we do not ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations". But he said he felt an "obligation" to do so given that he had previously testified that the FBI investigation was complete. Addressing cheering supporters at a rally in the key election state of Florida on Saturday, Mrs Clinton said: "It's pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information right before an election." Earlier, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said the information provided by Mr Comey was "long on innuendo" and "short on facts", with "no evidence of wrongdoing. No charge of wrongdoing. No indication this is even about Hillary". Mr Podesta said that 24 hours from Mr Comey's revelation, there was no real explanation for why he had decided to send that letter. The more that information had emerged, he said, "the more it seems overblown". The FBI has already established that Mrs Clinton had held classified information on a private email server. In July, Mr Comey said Mrs Clinton's handling of sensitive material during her tenure as secretary of state was "extremely careless", but cleared her of any criminal wrongdoing. The latest emails were discovered as part of a separate investigation into the estranged husband of top Clinton aide, Huma Abedin. Devices belonging to her and Anthony Weiner, a former high-flying congressman, were seized in an investigation into whether he sent sexually explicit emails to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. Mrs Clinton said she was "confident" the investigation into the emails would not change the FBI's original finding in July. "It's imperative that the bureau explain this issue in question, whatever it is, without any delay," she told reporters on the campaign trail in Des Moines, Iowa, on Friday. Mr Trump said the move was the "biggest political scandal since Watergate", referring to the 1970s scandal that engulfed then-Republican President Richard Nixon. He said he has "great respect" for the FBI and the justice department, now that they were "willing to have the courage to right the horrible mistake that they made" in ending the investigation earlier. The former secretary of state's private email server was first revealed in March 2015 by the New York Times. She did not immediately express regret, and said the main reason for her "hdr22@clintonemail.com" address was "convenience". Soon after that she apologised in an interview with ABC News, and has since said sorry to voters a number of times. Opinion polls suggest Mrs Clinton is four points ahead of Mr Trump, according to a Real Clear Politics average. Who is ahead in the polls? 50% Hillary Clinton 44% Donald Trump Last updated October 25, 2016 Who will win? Play our game to make your call Ray Matthews, from Maltby, near Rotherham, completed his challenge in September after starting in July. He raised £29,975 for Rotherham's Newman School, which caters for children with special educational needs and disabilities. Mr Matthews described himself as "just a guy who goes out and runs marathons". He said: "What I've seen since I've been involved with the school is just amazing - all I ever see when I walk in here is joy on the children's faces." The money is to be used to improve the external areas of the school and provide new equipment. Mr Matthews started the challenge shortly after his 75th birthday and described the marathon series as a 75-day "birthday present" to himself. The majority of the routes he tackled were organised by running clubs in South Yorkshire, but he also completed two marathons in Rotherham's twin town of St-Quentin in France. Mr Matthews said his only disappointment was the amount raised "isn't £75,000". Four years ago, at the age of 71, Mr Matthews also ran 150 miles in 36 hours. Macmillan Cancer Support said decisions on care should be made based on a patient's fitness, not their age. It cited data which suggests 130,000 people over 65 diagnosed with cancer between 1991-2010 survived for more than 10 years. NHS England acknowledged that it needed to deliver better services to people in the over-65 age group. Macmillan Cancer Support conducted the research alongside the National Cancer Intelligence Network, found of the 130,000 who had lived with the disease for more than a decade, 8,000 had been diagnosed over the age of 80. Despite that, many patients in the UK are being assessed on age alone, Macmillan said, adding that cancer survival rates in the age group are "poor". A paper published in the Lancet, looking at five-year survival rates for common cancers - including prostate, breast, lung, stomach, ovary and kidney cancers - between 1999 and 2007 showed the UK and Ireland had a lower five-year survival rate than the rest of Europe. "It's wrong to write off older people as too old for treatment," said Macmillan Cancer Support's chief executive Ciaran Devane. "With a proper assessment and appropriate treatment, our research shows that many older cancer patients can live for a long time and can even be cured. "While it's good news that so many older people are benefiting from treatment, many thousands more could live longer if our survival rates for over-65s matched those in comparable countries." He said barriers to treatment, which include "age discrimination and inadequate assessment methods", must be addressed. NHS England's national clinical director for cancer, Sean Duffy, said that with an ageing population, the study had come at an important moment in time. But he added: "We need to deliver better services for people over 65 and 75 because we know there's an issue and interventions need to be designed to that end." He said treatment for cancer can be complex "and should be based on what is right for each individual patient." Dr Mark Porter of the British Medical Association said it should be a "key part" of the medical profession to ensure older patients are "treated with the care and respect they deserve". British Medical Association GP leader Dr Chaand Nagpaul said doctors were having to rush patients to keep up. And he said this could be potentially dangerous in terms of identifying cancer and getting medicines right. But ministers in England responded by promising they would invest in services to address the concerns. The frank admission by Dr Nagpaul comes as the BMA releases the results of an online survey of nearly 2,900 practices in England and 145 in Wales - about one in three of the total in both nations. In England it showed that 55% thought the quality of the service their practices was providing had deteriorated in the past 12 months. Some 68% said their workload was unmanageable, while 92% reported demand had increased in the past year. Similar findings were reported in Wales. Dr Nagpaul said: "It is unsustainable and getting to the point where it is not safe. The ageing population means many of our patients have multiple conditions and are on multiple medicines, but we simply don't have the time to properly consider how they interact. "On cancer we are having to make rushed decisions. And we are seeing growing numbers of patients with dementia - and yet just have 10 minutes to see them. "It's not enough. We are being forced to let down patients. We need to see more investment in general practice so we can keep up with demand and have longer 15-minute consultations." Figures cover England only The issue has been raised by the BMA just a week after the NHS England report into the death of 12-month-old William Mead, from Cornwall, highlighted workload pressures as one of the possible reasons GPs failed to properly diagnose his chest infection. Mr Nagpaul believes another 10,000 GPs could be needed to plug the current gap in England - the government has promised another 5,000 this Parliament, but that is expected to cover the push to provide seven-day opening. To pay for this, funding for GPs will be increasing by 5% every year, the government has said. Health minister Alistair Burt added: "General practice is at the heart of the improvement we want to see in the NHS. We recognise absolutely that it is under pressure, which is why we are delivering record investment. "The health secretary will shortly announce further support for GPs, which should assist in meeting the pressures doctors are reporting." Read more from Nick Follow Nick on Twitter All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) General Secretary Tijani Tumsa said the plan was a "mischievous vote-catching exercise" for the 2015 elections. Last week, the agriculture minister said the phones would help farmers "drive an agriculture revolution". Akinwumi Adesina said their purchase would be financed through a tax. He denied reports that the government had already set aside $400m (£249m) to buy the phones. Mr Tumsa told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme the scheme was a ploy by the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) to "connect" with voters in rural areas in the build-up to elections. He said he doubted the plan would boost the farming sector. "You are just creating business for the telecom companies. You are not impacting on agricultural production in Nigeria, unless the purpose is to have more phone coverage," Mr Tumsa added. Defending the scheme, Mr Adesina said Nigeria had the highest number of mobile phones in Africa - an estimated 110 million - but many Nigerians in rural areas did not have them. "Our goal is to empower every farmer. No farmer will be left behind," Mr Adesina said in a statement. "We will reach them in their local languages and use mobile phones to trigger an information revolution which will drive an agricultural revolution." He said five million of the 10 million phones would be given to women. A government agency, the Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF), would help finance the scheme through a tax, he said. "We intend to work with existing mobile operators in Nigeria through a public-private partnership," Mr Adesina said. "Agriculture today is more knowledge-intensive and we will modernize the sector, and get younger entrepreneurs into the sector, and we will arm them with modern information systems." The 36-year-old left Manchester City last summer and joined Espanyol, before starting his second spell at Malaga in January. His final game - if selected - will be Sunday's home match against Real Madrid, who could win La Liga. Demichelis, who can also play in midfield, won 51 caps for Argentina and also played for River Plate and Bayern Munich. "Unfortunately this day comes to us all," said the veteran. "I've been deliberating it for some time, as I have always been very worried about the end of a professional football career. "I am grateful to the profession, and in this case Malaga in particular, because they extended my career as a professional footballer." The Dons thought they had triggered a release clause for the 27-year-old midfielder with a £200,000 offer. "Greg's agent told us about the clause weeks ago and we met that clause," explained McInnes. "It's unclear why he's not here and we feel he should be. We understand their desire to keep him but we are surprised that clause wasn't met." The Highlanders are thought to have argued that the wording of the clause in Tansey's contract was ambiguous. McInnes said that he had discussed the issue with his opposite number at Caley Thistle, John Hughes. "We acted professionally and with integrity," he said. "John agrees with that, he has no problem with that. "The only thing we are maybe guilty of is maybe not going in a bit earlier. "When I found out on Friday that we could make the offer, it was my call not to disrupt their preparations for Saturday and when their game was called off in the morning that's when we put the bid in. "£200,000 isn't easy for us to put together. I had to try and generate that through bits and pieces. "We thought the offer would have triggered a clause in the player's contract that would allow him to be here." McInnes did manage to add to his squad, with the deadline day signing of Wales striker Simon Church, on loan from MK Dons. "In light of the injuries to Ryan Jack and Willo Flood, we targeted two players - a midfielder and a different option at centre forward. "We got one, we didn't get the other. "Simon brings real pedigree and he has a great enthusiasm to be here. "He's a real team player, he works extremely hard and likes to put himself about. If we get good service into, he'll enjoy his time here. "There were lots of names being thrown at us but I thought the two players we were after could come in and really help us now. "You don't always get what you want and we may need to find out more about some of the youngsters before the end of the season." Speaking in Seattle he said: "Without reform, there will be no driving force; without opening up, there will be no progress." Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Apple CEO Tim Cook were among those attending. US companies are eager to tap into China's massive market of consumers. Mr Xi addressed recent China's recent economic troubles, and said the government was taking steps to address it. However he said, "I believe in the long run that the fundamentals of the Chinese economy are good." Oh to have been a fly on the wall when President Xi sat down with Apple's Tim Cook, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Satya Nadella of Microsoft and other US technology leaders. We are told the conversation covered regulation and clean energy - but surely there must have been something juicier? The truth is that China and the tech giants both need and fear each other. The technology firms know it is where their future profits should come from - Apple now makes about a quarter of its revenue from China, while Amazon despite years of investment is still struggling to make an impact. For China, demand for American technology products is what keeps millions in manufacturing jobs. But while both China and the US appear committed to expanding their technology relationship, their very different views on internet freedom mean progress will be difficult. But at a time when demand for technology products is fragile, China still looks like a huge opportunity for growth. That is why the tech tycoons will have tried their best to charm their visitor. Mr Xi stressed that reaching agreements to ensure continued robust international trade was a top priority. US officials have said the two counties have made progress in negotiating a new trade agreement, but key issues remain unresolved. Former US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson moderated a closed-door discussion with more than 30 business leaders before Mr Xi's public remarks. Representatives from Twitter and Google were notably missing from the event. China blocks those companies' websites. However, Mark Zuckerberg the chief executive of Facebook, which is also blocked in China, met with Mr Xi during the forum. Mr Xi travels to Washington DC on Thursday to meet US President Barack Obama. The 44-year-old was promoted to the role on Wednesday after cricket manager and former player Robinson was appointed England women's head coach. Davis made his Sussex debut as a player in 2001 before becoming second-team coach and later assistant coach. "I learnt a lot from Mark Robinson, but my coaching style will certainly be different," he told BBC Sussex. Davis takes over a side who were relegated from County Championship Division One last season and will report to a new director of cricket - a post Sussex are hoping to fill in the months ahead. "Mark Davis' appointment is in keeping with the Sussex tradition of promoting from within. He served a long apprenticeship under the guidance of Mark Robinson. "The priority will be to secure a prompt return to Division One of the County Championship, while also improving their form in one-day competition. "His partnership with new captain Luke Wright could usher in an exciting new era for the club." "I've known the players for a long time and I think that will be a benefit for me," he said. "I'll take a lot from what 'Robbo' did before me and also Peter Moores, who I played under when he coached here. But I'm very clear in the way I'm going to move this squad forward. "We were pretty unlucky with injuries last year, but we didn't play well enough and that's why we are where we are. "It's a great chance to develop a team going forward that can hopefully get promoted, but also compete at that level." Davis was part of the Sussex side which won the club's maiden County Championship title in 2003 and went on to take 188 wickets with his off-spin, as well as scoring more than 2,000 runs across all three formats. Robinson, who led Sussex to two County Championship titles and four one-day trophies, has backed Davis to lead the club back to the top division of first-class cricket. "Mark is different to me, with different strengths and qualities," Robinson told BBC Sussex. "His values are good, his integrity is high and he will supplement and work well with (newly appointed captain) Luke Wright. "I'd have loved to have left them in Division One, but the margins are really small. I'm convinced they'll go back up next year as there are a lot of great things happening behind the scenes." Green fired home from Natasha Harding's cross to open the scoring before doubling the lead on 23 minutes. Ward scored Wales' third from the penalty spot after Green was fouled by Begaim Kirgizbaeva, who was sent-off. Reading striker Ward converted a second penalty with nine minutes remaining after Jess Fishlock was fouled. Jayne Ludlow's side remain third in Group 8, five points behind leaders Austria and second-placed Norway. Wales' remaining three games are all at home, including matches against Norway and Austria. Kazakhstan are bottom of the group and Wales were 4-0 winners when the sides met in Haverfordwest in November. Only the eight group winners and six best runners-up are guaranteed automatic qualification to the 2017 tournament in the Netherlands. The other two group runners-up will play-off for the final qualification spot. A black and white issue. In or out? Stick or twist. A straightforward "yes" or "no". Or rather, "remain" or "leave", after that tactical readjustment of the question itself. If it is to be the latter, it would certainly be a long goodbye. At least two years, probably more, would have to pass between a vote to "leave" and the negotiated exit. Indeed, there is every sign that the severance arrangements would be even harder to broker than the terms David Cameron is struggling to negotiate for staying in - and we may not know what deal he comes back with until the year after next. Equally, some observers think it could be early next year. They reckon that the first European Council of 2016 could be the moment when the prime minister decides he cannot improve on the terms already on offer so he may as well cut his losses and make his move. The UKIP leader Nigel Farage told me recently he thought the referendum could be as early as next March. That simple monochrome picture acquires so many more shades and nuances when you factor in the vagaries of the terms and the timing. And then you have to take account of the internal differences within and between our various business, political and social groupings. Nigel Farage also told me there was now "a real debate" among Midlands business leaders he had been talking to. They have traditionally been seen as broadly supportive of Britain's place within the EU, but a poll commissioned by the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce earlier this year indicates business opinion was more finely balanced than you might think. The Chamber's Business Barometer reported that 47% of firms thought staying in the EU with a power transfer to the UK would be positive for the region, while the remaining 53% thought withdrawing from the EU would have a negative impact here. Renowned Eurosceptics, headed by the former cabinet minister and Conservative MP for Shropshire North Owen Paterson and the indefatigable Bill Cash, Conservative MP for Stone, support Conservatives for Britain. David Cameron said last week it was unlikely any renegotiation he could come back with would satisfy the likes of them. They, along with Business for Britain and some UKIP supporters, including their only MP Douglas Carswell, are linking up with the Vote Leave campaign. It is also backed by Labour's anti-EU group called Labour Leave. But others in UKIP, including Mr Farage himself, are backing the rival Leave.EU, founded by the UKIP donor Arron Banks. On the other side of the argument, Britain Stronger in Europe is headed by the former boss of Marks and Spencer Lord (Stuart) Rose, who is leading the case for remaining in the EU, assisted by Lady {Karren} Brady, late of this parish. At its launch event, he described a British exit, or Brexit, as "a leap in the dark, a risk which was not worth taking". Some observers are already detecting signs that this campaign may be about to repeat the mistakes of Better Together during the run-up to the Scottish Referendum by placing too much emphasis on "scaremongering" about the consequences of leaving and not enough on the benefits of staying where we are. But unlike the Scottish Referendum, the ambiguities surrounding the renegotiated terms allow ministers much more wriggle room than they had then. The Business Secretary and Bromsgrove MP Sajid Javid certainly enjoyed his opportunity to flex his Euro-sceptic muscles when he talked about "standing up to Brussels" during his recent party conference speech. The biggest casualty in all this could well be the objective evidence. I remember wasting three weeks of my life, and that of a BBC researcher, in an unavailing attempt to establish whether the Midlands was a net beneficiary of EU membership or not, setting incoming European funding and the wider benefits of the internal market against our share of the UK's outgoing EU budget contributions. Answer came there none. It all depended on how you interpreted any number of statistical variables. Lord Rose says the ratio of incoming to outgoing is in real terms about 10 to one in the UK's favour. Nigel Farage accuses him of "inverting the truth". We can see already how detailed analysis is likely to be drowned out by overblown claims and counterclaims, with reliable information playing second fiddle to rhetoric, emotion and symbolism. In the hope of generating light as well as heat, our BBC Black Country Political Reporter Rob Mayor has been gauging opinions among in the local business community. We'll see his report in this week's Sunday Politics Midlands, when I'll be taking up these questions with the Conservative MP for Halesowen and Rowley Regis James Morris, who is now the Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Europe Minister David Liddington; and to the Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley Jess Phillips, whose party has divisions of its own to contend with on this European issue. We're back in our usual slot this weekend: 11:00 on BBC One Midlands this Sunday 18 October 2015.

The letter was published on the front page of the Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland's second-largest newspaper, on Monday. The row centres on the government's wish to change the way the main legislative court works. The court says the changes are unconstitutional. Poland's prime minister says she has a mandate to make changes. The letter is signed by: In it, the co-signatories criticise "draconian" new laws, including proposed new regulation that would make all abortions illegal. They also condemn "the anti-European and xenophobic declarations and actions of the current leaders". New rules sought by the governing Law and Justice party (PiS) would increase the number of Constitutional Court judges needed for a ruling and change the order in which cases are heard. While the court did not support the steps, the government has refused to publish the court's ruling. A draft report by the Council of Europe, the continent's leading human rights watchdog, said the changes made it extremely difficult for the court to take decisions, thereby endangering the rule of law. The moves to alter the court are "paralysing the work of the Constitutional Tribunal and all of the judicial authorities", the letter says. "An attempt by Law and Justice to create its own order represents an usurpation of power." The PiS won a majority in last October's election, thereby giving it a mandate to bring in the changes it wishes, Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said in response to the letter. "These men say: 'We are democracy.' I say: 'Democracy is the free choice of Poles who have chosen the PiS and its programme'," she said. Deputy Prime Minister Piotr Glinski said it was "absurd" to suggest democracy in Poland was under threat. In the past month, rallies have taken place in Polish cities to protest against the moves to change the work of the court. Large demonstrations have also been held against the abortion law and the decision to give government a hands-on role in running media organisations.

Three former Polish presidents have attacked the right-wing government in an open letter, accusing it of "violating" the constitution.

Over a cup of tea, in a secure office about an hour's drive from Turkey's border with Syria, I meet General Adeeb al-Shallaf, the founder and head of the Free Syrian Police (FSP) in Aleppo province. Gen Shallaf is a tall man with considerable presence and a parade-ground bearing. He once held a senior position within the Syrian government police force but that changed when his superiors ordered him to shoot at demonstrators during the popular uprisings in the country. "Of course I refused to obey the orders," he tells me. "So I decided to defect." In 2012 he and fellow officers decided to form the Free Syrian Police. Gen Shallaf wanted Syrians to have a force they could trust after years of being policed by what was seen as corrupt instruments of the regime. The force now has 3,300 mostly unarmed officers who provide community policing to the rebel-held areas of Aleppo, Idlib and Daraa provinces. It is difficult and dangerous work. Gen Shallaf tells me he has frequently been the target of shelling. "They have tried to kill me 20 times," he says, adding that more than 100 officers have died. At first Gen Shallaf thought his officers should carry weapons, but now he firmly believes that law and order in Syria need not be administered at the point of a gun. "Our strength will be in our weakness," he says. His officers' authority, he argues, comes from the support of the community. Policing by consent, we might call it in the UK. It's an ambition that is supported by the British government. Our meeting is in a secure annexe maintained by Adam Smith International (ASI) in Gaziantep. The office is nondescript - better to keep off the radar of so-called Islamic State, who are known to operate in the Turkish city. Since 2014 ASI has administered about £30m (US$37.5m) worth of assistance each year from a number of western governments on behalf of the Foreign Office. The UK contributes about 30% of the total bill. "We've provided vehicles, uniforms, batons and so on," says David Robson, a former senior British Army officer who leads the programme team. They also provide financial support and training for the organisation. As well as funding the police, David's team supports an effort to provide Syrians with personal documentation, such as records of births and marriages. The lawyer in charge tells me it is vital to preserving the identity of the Syrian people. The police seem to be valued by the communities they serve. A community representative from an area north of Aleppo told me: "Their work is more than brave. Brave doesn't begin to describe what they do." She added: "People are tired of seeing weapons and arms everywhere, so people want to see unarmed police." Crimes have decreased in her community, where there are night patrols. But the ability of the FSP to bring some of the armed actors in Syria to justice, is limited. "In one example in Western Aleppo a few murders were reported over disputes related to water," a Syrian ASI staff member told me. "The FSP was not able to interfere due to many of those involved being armed." One family was in control of the water supply and this was leading to conflict. Instead, the police negotiated improvements to the water supply, forged an agreement about sharing it and as a result, the tension - and murders - ended. But there is no escape from the conflict. The police work closely with the civil defence, known as the White Helmets, to deal with the aftermath of air-raids - fighting fires, providing medical assistance and securing damaged areas. "We still lose friends and colleagues and at the end of every shift, the policemen still say goodbye to each other because they don't know whether they will meet again," a senior police officer working in countryside in western Aleppo told me. Still they continue the work. Recently they carried out an operation targeting drug dealing in their area. The FSP funders do not provide support to the court system. The police predominantly enforce Syrian law, but ASI's David Robson notes that armed groups have brought in various forms of Sharia law. The FSP does not co-operate with extremist groups but sometimes control will switch to these groups, he says. In such circumstances international funders are obliged to withdraw their support to the police in those areas. In a busy cafe by the Bosphorus in Istanbul, activist Sandra Bitar regrets that this is the case. "We are punishing the civilians in these communities," she says. In her view it is counter-productive and will force Syrians in these areas to engage with radical groups. She also wishes donors would fund the court system. The FSP numbers are growing, and the funders hope it will achieve change that lasts. When peace finally returns to Syria, David Robson believes that the programme will have demonstrated the value of community policing. But when that peace will come, regretfully, he could not say. Chris Vallance reports for BBC Radio 4's The World at One programme. Back-row Sam, 22, played with fly-half Joe, 20, for the first time in the Premiership in Exeter's victory at Leicester on 3 March. "It's good to have your brother there beside you, to tell you what you need to do," Sam told BBC Spotlight. "Lining up before we run out, we give each other a little look and just say 'look what we're doing, it's proud'." Sam Simmonds, who has spent time on loan with Championship side Cornish Pirates, added: "It's not so much a rivalry - there's a bit of banter here and there but we're just pushing each other really." The siblings both start for Exeter on Sunday in their Anglo-Welsh Cup semi-final against Harlequins at Sandy Park. Joe only made his first Premiership start on 25 February, kicking 11 points in the Devon side's win over Newcastle. "It was brilliant," he said. "I was looking at the teamsheet when it came out - I kept checking it to make sure it was my name." Both brothers played football until their teenage years, with Sam the first to join Exeter. "When he got signed up here it just drove me even more, because I didn't want to be left behind," Joe added. "It's been massive playing together - after the game, especially with our family, it's a great achievement for us both. "I would say I'm the better footballer - I've got the kicking skills and he's like my dad, he's a back row, so I think I'm more skilful than him at the moment." Complaints about the behaviour of banks and credit card companies who mis-sold PPI are still running at 4,000 a week, she said. However at the peak of the scandal in 2012 there were 12,000 complaints a week. Banks alone are now thought to have paid out around £22bn in compensation. In total, the Financial Ombudsman has dealt with 1.25m complaints - and that does not include complaints made directly to banks and credit card companies. "Although numbers are slowly declining, it will be years before we can truly say this mis-selling scandal is over," said Ms Wayman. However she said that the total number of complaints sent to the Financial Ombudsman was "starting to stabilise". Nevertheless the Financial Ombudsman service is to recruit a further 200 staff as adjudicators and ombudsmen. It has already doubled in size to 4,000 staff, to handle the surge of PPI complaints. The scandal stretches back to the 1990s. Over that period millions of customers were mis-sold insurance policies to protect themselves against falling ill or losing their jobs. The policies would pay off any outstanding loans, such as credit card bills or mortgages. However many people did not need the policies in the first place, and many were unaware they were paying for them. Writing in the Irish Times, Michael McDowell said governments feared a dissident group would fill the void left if PIRA disbanded. They felt an "inert IRA" would be "the lesser of two evils". His comments follow news that police in the Republic of Ireland are to re-examine PIRA. Irish Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald made the call following a political row over the murder of Kevin McGuigan Snr in Belfast earlier this month. PSNI Chief Constable George Hamilton said the IRA still exists as an organisation, but not for paramilitary purposes. He said individual members were involved in the recent killing of Mr McGuigan in Belfast but the PSNI has no information to suggest it was sanctioned at a senior level. Ms Fitzgerald said there were "no simplistic answers" about the continued existence of the IRA. Information available to her suggested that it remained on an "exclusively political path", she said. But the minister said that, given the current police investigation into the murder of Mr McGuigan in Northern Ireland, the Garda Síochána would carry out a fresh assessment. Sinn Féin TD Brian Stanley said Ms Fitzgerald had "abused her position to make smears of illegality" about his party. "Sinn Féin does not benefit from any form of criminality," he said. Mr McDowell served as Irish justice minister when the IRA announced it had stood down in 2005. In his article, he said that at that stage, the two governments had "a clear political calculus". "The choice was between an IRA that became an inert, unarmed and withering husk or an open goal opportunity for dissidents to reform an army council as the legitimate heir of the body which had been 'treacherously' wound up," he said. "Past splits and schisms in the IRA showed only too clearly that the IRA could more easily metastasise rather than wind itself up. That was seen, and I think rightly, as being the greater evil to be avoided. "The governments took the view that an inert, freeze-dried husk of the IRA was preferable to passing the ideological torch to the dissidents. "The analogy that was used at the time was that it would become like the 'Old IRA", a harmless grouping. That is what [Sinn Féin president Gerry] Adams warranted would be involved in the IRA 'going away'." Two senior ministers retired, while three others left in the wake of separate political scandals. Liberal leader Mr Turnbull said his new team "combines youth, new talent, experience, continuity, and a real sense of innovation and enterprise". It comes ahead of a federal election later this year. Veterans affairs minister Stuart Robert left the frontbench on Friday for breaching ministerial standards. He had travelled to Beijing with a Liberal Party donor for the signing of a mining deal. Special minister of state Mal Brough announced in December that he would resign from the ministry while he remained under police investigation in connection with the downfall former parliamentary speaker Peter Slipper amid a sex scandal. Cities minister Jamie Briggs stepped down the same month after a female public servant complained about his behaviour at a Hong Kong Bar. Mr Turnbull said his revamped frontbench was a "transition from older leadership to newer leadership". Mr Turnbull's changes will see new deputy Nationals leader Fiona Nash become Regional Development Minister and Minister for Regional Communications, taking the number of women in the cabinet from five to six. Nationals MP Darren Chester will take the infrastructure and transport portfolio from retiring party leader Warren Truss, while Steve Ciobo will become trade minister following the resignation of Andrew Robb. Five new junior ministers and five assistant ministers have also been appointed, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. The gallery says it has placed them in the same category as tripods, which are banned "in order to protect paintings, individual privacy and the overall visitor experience". The National Gallery ban follows other galleries around the world, including the Smithsonian museums in Washington. The selfie stick is an elongated pole on which a camera or mobile phone can be attached to take a better photo. Sales of the selfie stick have soared since last year and they are now a common sight at tourist sites. The ban by the National Gallery was welcomed by art critic Brian Sewell. He told The Times: "They are possibly quite dangerous to the art work and cause appalling crowding around a painting. "Anyone who actually wants to go and see a painting can't because people are too busy taking photos. I've seen things in the National Gallery which make my hair stand on end." Some visitors at the National Gallery have backed the ban. Morny Davison told the Press Association the selfie stick was "an interference in what one hopes is a reasonably calm experience looking at great pictures." Another visitor said art lovers would be "thrilled" by the ban, adding: "They should have been banned some time ago." Other British institutions could also follow the ban. The British Museum has confirmed it is reviewing its policy on selfie sticks. A spokeswoman said: "The safety of objects and visitors is paramount to the British Museum". Selfie sticks are currently allowed at the National Portrait Gallery, but a spokesman said "anything that may prove disruptive is reviewed on an ongoing basis.". "It is important that all our visitors enjoy their experience at the Gallery." The Tate does still allow the use of selfie sticks "provided that users respect fellow visitors and adhere to Tate's photography policy". A spokesman for the Natural History Museum said it does not currently ban the use of selfie sticks and "do not currently see a need to alter our stance on this issue". The National Museum Cardiff does not permit any camera extension devices such as tripods, and it classes selfie sticks under this category. A spokesperson said the policy was in place "to ensure the safety of our visitors and the museum's collections, especially during crowded conditions. "We encourage museum visitors to take selfies and share their experiences but leave the selfie sticks at home." The BBC is awaiting confirmation from the National Galleries of Scotland to what their policy is. It used to be so easy. Cameras were banned - flashlight was bad for the pictures and visitors having their own copies of paintings was bad for business. The camera phone changed all that - making it unfeasible for galleries to stop people taking photographs. The selfie stick has introduced a new problem, which is to stop people looking at pictures and in so doing creates a distraction for those who are trying to study what the gallery has to offer. So the rationale for banning them is because they cause a disturbance - the side benefit being you will now once again have to go the museum shop to get your copy of your favourite picture. Earlier this month, the Smithsonian museum group announced it had banned selfie sticks from its 19 museums and galleries in the US capital. "This is a preventive measure to protect visitors and objects, especially during crowded conditions," it said in a statement. It followed similar restrictions from museums and galleries in the US including New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and Modern Museum of Art (MOMA), the Getty Center in Los Angeles and the Cleveland Museum of Art. The palace of Versailles was the first museum in Europe to ban the use of selfie sticks and it is expected that The Louvre and the Pompidou centre are likely to follow suit. Selfie sticks are also banned from music venues in the UK including the O2 and Wembley Arena. Renault has finalised deals to take over the Lotus team and has a contract to continue to supply engines to Red Bull next season. But the Lotus buy-out is jeopardising Renault's involvement. Insiders say Ecclestone agreed a deal for prize money, which then collapsed, and now Renault is now threatening to pull out. The exact details of the disagreement between Ecclestone and Renault are unclear, but it is said by sources to revolve around confusion surrounding Renault's deal to supply Red Bull, which has been developing in parallel with the situation at Lotus, a team facing the threat of administration. Ecclestone and Renault had a meeting at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Friday to try to resolve the problem. Renault Sport boss Cyril Abiteboul described the talks to BBC Sport as "a positive discussion", adding: "We will report the result to our CEO but I am pretty sure we will have a positive result." However, Abiteboul added that the company needed to take a "final, definitive view" as to its commitment to F1 and that although it was Renault's "intent" to take over Lotus it had "no obligation" to do so. The Frenchman said he believed Renault would be in F1 in some capacity next season, describing it as a "transition year". But he also said that "pulling out of F1 completely is on the table if we don't manage to convince the board that F1 is a meaningful investment for Renault". He added: "We are talking about a 10-year commitment to the sport, which is not cheap." The future of Lotus could hang on a resolution to the dispute, as the team is threatened with going into administration if it does not secure its future by 7 December. Senior insiders say that the deal to secure Renault's buy-out of the team is complete and it will be finalised once the payments dispute with Ecclestone is sorted out. Staff at Lotus's factory in Enstone in Oxfordshire are already working on a car with a Renault engine for next year and the two companies are working as if they are in partnership even though the deal has not been formally confirmed. Renault won two world titles with Fernando Alonso in 2005-6 but sold its team to investment group Genii Capital at the end of the 2009 season, continuing in F1 as an engine supplier. Genii renamed the team Lotus but has agreed to sell it back to Renault. Red Bull and Renault won four consecutive world title doubles together from 2010-13 but relations have soured since 2014 and the two agreed to part, a year before the end of their contract. But following Red Bull's failure to secure an alternative supply from F1's other manufacturers, Mercedes, Ferrari and Honda, they have had to go back to Renault to secure what at this stage is a one-off deal for next season. This has been agreed and signed, according to senior insiders, but not formally announced. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: "We have an agreement for an engine for next year which we hope will be confirmed within the coming days. It will have a development path - ironically of what we were trying to achieve 12 months ago." Sources say the plan is for Renault to be aided in its development of the engine, with which the company has struggled over the last two seasons, by British motorsport engine design company Ilmor. Red Bull had employed Ilmor boss Mario Illien as a consultant from last year, in which capacity he came up with a development design of the Renault engine. During the summer, the French company rejected this, preferring to pursue its own line of development. But the engine that resulted from that proved to be less powerful than its replacement when it was run at the Brazilian Grand Prix a fortnight ago. Abiteboul said he was unable to answer questions on the Red Bull situation, adding: "There will be no announcement about Renault's future this weekend, but there will be an announcement very likely next week." Full practice results Abu Dhabi GP coverage details The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) backed moves to reject a new wave of grammars in the absence of proof that it aids social mobility. Its conference heard how Conservative plans to expand selection would add to pressures on schools. Prime Minister Theresa May argues grammars boost opportunities for bright but disadvantaged children. But Labour and the Liberal Democrats disagree. The NAHT argued that investment in early-years education is a more effective way of ensuring that poor children get as good an education as their richer peers. It said that by the time children leave primary school, the advantages of coming from a wealthy background are entrenched. Proposing the motion at the NAHT conference in Telford, Robert Campbell said: "The government is fixated with delivering a policy for the few at the expense of the many." However, it is not clear exactly how head teachers would actually oppose the planned expansion of selective schools. The union is using its conference to highlight what it describes as a "perfect storm" of difficulties for secondary schools this summer which could have "dire consequences for pupils and standards". Issues range from a new secondary exam system, struggles with recruitment or retention, and the £3bn real term cuts to schools budgets by 2020. On funding, General Secretary Russell Hobby said there was a sense that the pleas of head teachers, teachers and parents over school funding were still not being heard by ministers. He said: "All that's left is for us to make it a general election issue. "We need to make sure that all our parliamentary constituencies are asking questions on school funding." NAHT heads said schools were increasingly being required to fill the gaps left by under-funded public services, as finances become progressively stretched at local level. Past president Kim Johnson said schools in his area, Medway, were being asked to part-fund police officers working in schools but they simply did not have the funds to do so. He said out of the £6m budget for his special school, Bradfields Academy, he was paying £200,000 towards support on social care and health issues for his pupils. This included two social workers, three therapists and counsellors, who were not being provided by frontline public services. The government continues to insist it is funding schools at a record level. The jab was introduced in 2008 for girls, to immunise them against the virus that causes cervical cancer. The Throat Cancer Foundation says the vaccine protects against other cancers and has urged the government to extend the programme to all 12-year-olds. So far Australia is the only country to routinely offer universal vaccination to boys and girls. The measure has also been recommended by the US Centers for Disease Control. HPV, which stands for human papillomavirus, is a very common, mainly sexually transmitted, infection. The vaccine currently used in the UK protects against HPV types 16 and 18, which are responsible for most cases of cervical cancer, and types six and 11, which cause genital warts in males and females. But HPV has also been linked, although less strongly, with other cancers including oropharyngeal - or throat - cancer. The charity said the vaccine would cost as little as £45 per person and could save hundreds of lives. It estimated that treating throat cancer costs the NHS as much as £45,000 per patient. Prof Christopher Nutting, lead clinician of the head and neck unit at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, said: "We are seeing a rising number of cases of throat cancer in our clinics in the UK. "At the moment girls are routinely vaccinated against HPV but boys are not, meaning they are routinely being exposed to a virus that can cause life threatening cancers." He added that evidence from Australia, where a national programme had led to a 90% drop in cases of genital warts in men and women, showed the vaccine is effective. Jamie Rae, head of the Throat Cancer Foundation, called the disease a "ticking time bomb" and said the current girl-only vaccination programme was discriminatory. Prof Simon Rogers, consultant maxillofacial surgeon at the University Hospital Aintree, said: "The burden of HPV puts a substantial strain on the NHS, in terms of both cost and resources. "If current trends continue unchecked, cases of HPV and oropharyngeal cancer will exceed cases of cervical cancer by 2020." A Department of Health representative said: "There are currently no plans to extend HPV vaccination to males, based on an assessment of available scientific evidence. "Vaccination of boys was not recommended by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation because once 80% coverage among girls has been achieved, there is little benefit in vaccinating boys to prevent cervical cancer in girls. "Eighty per cent coverage for the full course of three doses of the vaccine was achieved in the first year of the HPV vaccination programme in 2008-09, and has since exceeded that level." The 24-year-old, on loan from Sunderland, had a scan on the injury on Monday, which he suffered in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Newcastle United. He has made three appearances for the Championship club so far this season. The club's website said: "It's positive news for the defender, as a more serious hamstring tear could have sidelined him for up to 10 weeks." The Earl Of Dudley had the Perseus and Andromeda fountain built to impress his guests when he owned Witley Court in Worcestershire There are dozens of jets hidden among the fountain's sculptures, widely considered to be one of the finest in Europe, English Heritage said. Repairs and conservation work has been going for the past seven months. English Heritage said the elaborate fountain, completed in 1850, depicts the Greek myth of Andromeda chained to a rock as a sacrifice to appease a sea monster sent by Poseidon, as hero Perseus swoops down to rescue her. The repairs were needed after Andromeda's right arm came off in December in 2015. The house was ruined in a fire in 1937 and now stands empty, with visitors able to walk around its gardens set in 62 acres. Media playback is not supported on this device That is according to British Olympian Annie Lush, who has been campaigning for more opportunities for women in the sport. Organisers of the round-the-world Volvo Ocean Race have changed the rules for the 2017-18 event to encourage more female competitors. All-male teams will be restricted to seven members, mixed crews can have up to 10, while female-only teams can be made up of 11 sailors. Previously, an all-male crew could be made up of eight members. "For sure there are physical differences between men and women, but then not all women are the same size," said Lush. "What we need to do is create opportunities so to that we can close that gap. We don't want to be given it. We need to work for it, but we need the opportunity." Lush, 37, has been racing full-time on the Olympic circuit since 2002 and competed on the World Match Racing Tour as well as the professional circuits. She competed in London 2012 and has been Women's Match Race champion three times. She was part of Team SCA who became the first all-female crew in 25 years to win a leg of the Volvo Ocean Race in 2015. Following the team's success, members of the crew launched the Magenta Project to offer support, training and guidance for women in sailing. "It is a sport that rewards experience, a lot, and there are obviously very physical elements to the sport as well," Magenta Project director Lush told BBC Sport. "In the past few years the kind of boats that have been developed are incredible, they are very fast but they are also very physical so I think some of the arguments have been that they require a certain level of strength that maybe girls don't have. "I think with Team SCA going round the world in the Volvo Ocean Race, that was something we set out to do to see if that was really true. "We ended up winning a leg of the race and coming third overall so I think we showed it is possible." In 2006, Briton Dee Caffari became the first woman to sail single-handedly and non-stop around the world. The 44-year-old was a crew member aboard Team SCA alongside Lush in 2014-15. This time around she will skipper the 'Turn the Tide on Plastic' team, which will be a mixed youth team with a focus on sustainability and a 50-50 crew. This comes as the race provides a new commitment to youth sailing, with a rule that two crews must be under the age of 30 at the end of the race in June 2018. And Caffari says that although she was against the idea of forcing female sailors into the sport, this has been a positive step. "I think this rule change has been a very clever way of doing it. It's not making it happen, it's a decision, you can change the crew combinations each leg and I think as people experience sailing in a mixed crew they'll see what a nice environment it is," she said. "It really does lift the skill level of the girls that have less experience than the guys. A mixed environment is actually how I've spent most of my sailing career and it's a really good environment to be in." The number of surveyors expecting sales to increase over the next three months has fallen significantly, according to the latest Rics survey. The report was also more gloomy about the final three months of 2016. It said sales activity had been "stuttering", after several months in which it had been gaining momentum. The number of home-owners wanting to sell their property failed to see any pick-up for the 10th month running. And the number of properties on the books of estate agents remained at an average of 45.8 - close to the record low of 43.9. The number of surveyors expecting sales to increase over the next three months outweighed those thinking they would decrease by a margin of 4%. A month ago, that margin was 18%. However, the surveyors were more positive about the market in a year's time. Most expected both prices and the number of sales to go up. The survey also suggested that rents would continue to rise by around 5% a year for the next five years, because of strong demand and a shortage of properties. In London, however, rents are expected to fall in the months ahead, before rising again later in the year. Earlier this week, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported that house price inflation picked up in November, rising from 6.4% to 6.7%. Where can I afford to live? It launched a study of digital comparison tools (DCTs) last September, to see how they could be improved. The CMA's research found that users of DCTs reported a high level of "trust and satisfaction". But it still found possible flaws, such as websites failing to make clear they might not cover the whole of a market. Despite that, the regulator's interim update says there is no need for a full-scale market investigation. "Overall DCT users think these tools work well, making it easier to make informed choices and save money," said the CMA. "Although DCTs are still a relatively new way of purchasing, the survey indicates that consumers are generally confident in the way they use them, and many use more than one site." The CMA's study was started in September 2016 and will report at the end of September this year. The study's aim is to better understand how people use price comparison websites, apps and switching services. The regulator believes price comparison websites, apps and switching services could offer even greater benefits to consumers than they do now. Apart from energy, it is looking at other sectors of the economy such as insurance, banking, phone and broadband services, and airline flights. A key feature of the research so far has been a survey of 4,000 consumers, to see what they thought of the switching services on offer, as well as a mystery shopping project and a review of the price comparison websites themselves. The survey found that 85% of internet users have used a DCT at some point, with most saying they have used more than one of them to shop around. However, very few people - only 11% - believed that they had been shown all the possible deals that might be on offer. Despite this apparent flaw, most people - 90% - said they were still happy with the DCTs they had used, and many said they had been able to make a better choice as a result of using the services. The CMA pin-pointed some possible problems with the price comparison industry, which may lead to recommendations for improvement being published later this year. Among them are: The launch of the CMA's study was greeted at the time with some surprise from consumer groups and some small energy suppliers. They complained that only a few months earlier, in June 2016, a full-scale inquiry into the UK's energy market by the CMA had "turned the clock back" by deciding that price comparison websites should no longer be obliged to show deals on which they did not earn a commission. Nottingham's Theatre Royal opened in 1865, and held its first panto - The House that Jack Built - the same year. The annual event continued almost uninterrupted, even through world wars, attracting a wide range of stars. Headline names have included George Formby, Tony Hancock, Danny La Rue, Leslie Crowther, Orville and, recently, David Hasselhoff and Su Pollard. The opening show at the theatre was the 18th Century play The School for Scandal, but after the final curtain manager Walter Montgomery promised weighty dramas and lighter entertainment. "As an earnest expression of our efforts we begin with Sheridan - Shakespeare will soon follow. Nor whilst providing the solids of the banquet shall we neglect the trifle," he said. "The gay burlesque and the witty farce soon follow and to these in due season King Pantomime will succeed." Over the years, the theatre has put on classics such as Cinderella, Peter Pan, Aladdin, Dick Whittington, Babes in the Wood and much more. Previous panto performers have lined up to wish the venue a happy birthday. David Hasselhoff said: "I have fond memories of the Theatre Royal Nottingham because of the culture of the city and the legend of Robin Hood, but also the mystery and elegance of the theatre. "You could feel the presence of the actors and audiences that have spanned the past 150 years. It is an amazing theatre" And comedian Brian Conley said: "I have very fond memories of performing in one of my first pantomimes with Little & Large many years ago and then to come back and star in my own pantomime was such an honour. "It is such a beautiful theatre, wonderful for comedy and a great place that brings the whole community together." Adam Lockwood's side took the lead when Will Hatfield netted with an outstanding strike from outside the penalty area, the effort veering past an unsighted Rory Watson. The visitors refused to buckle though and Reece Thompson nearly equalised early in the second half when his deflected effort hit the post. The same player did eventually level just shy of the hour with a fabulous long-range lob. Things went downhill for Guiseley when Danny Lowe was sent off, as Jake Skelton duly capitalised for the away side with a crisp left-footed finish three minutes from time.

Anita Stevenson had been missing for over a month before she was discovered on land near Old Court House Lane in Bromborough in November. Further tests have been ordered following a post-mortem examination to establish the cause of her death. The arrested 41-year-old will face "no further action", police said. Ms Stevenson was captured on CCTV near Albany Road in Rock Ferry on 18 October, wearing a blue Adidas jacket and Nike leggings and trainers. Merseyside Police said the investigation into her disappearance and death was ongoing. The last game of the season saw the visitors start the stronger with Anton Rodgers hitting the bar from a free-kick. But it was Charlton who took the lead on 15 minutes when Chelsea loanee Jay Dasilva's cross was headed home by striker Josh Magennis. In a game which saw flares and balloons launched in more protests against Charlton's owner Roland Duchatelet, Nathan Byrne and Magennis came close to doubling the hosts' lead. The Addicks were dominating and got their second on 43 minutes when Jake Forster-Caskey turned in a Byrne cross from close range. Johnnie Jackson was then prevented from scoring by Will Henry when the keeper saved well from the Addicks' captain. An offside flag then saw a Islam Feruz goal for Swindon chalked off. Charlton's third came on 66 minutes when Ricky Holmes slid a shot past Henry from a Byrne pass to wrap up the points. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

The benefit of collectively negotiated EU free trade deals is also questioned. The government says the EU share of UK trade has remained consistent because of a huge growth in other markets. It seems to contradict analysis by the Confederation of British Industry. The Civitas report - called Where's the Insider Advantage? - adds that EU membership does not appear to have benefitted UK service industries either, although it admits the data available on this is not so detailed. The report, by corporate market researcher Michael Burrage, says: "There is no evidence to suggest that the 'heft' or 'clout' of the EU has helped secure more FTAs than those that might have been secured by independent negotiations. "There were 25 EU FTAs in force in 2012 while the Swiss had independently negotiated 26, 13 of which came into force before those of the EU and three in the same year." It adds that there is no evidence that the quality of the EU's trade agreements is any higher. The report concludes: "The evidence presented contradicts again and again those who wish to claim that the UK has enjoyed insider advantages in the single market." Civitas says the UK's trade with other EU nations accounts for no more of its trade with all leading economies than it did on joining the European Economic Community in 1973. The CBI's recent Our Global Future report said full membership of the EU was "a better vehicle for harnessing the global trends reshaping the world economy than all the alternative options put forward". "The European Union also supports UK business in realising its global ambitions by providing significant influence over the rules, policies and priorities that allow British-based firms to seize opportunities across the globe," it stated. "It anchors UK trade around the world through the signing of high-quality, ambitious Free Trade Agreements and the creation of globally recognised standards that open markets. "And in a world of competing ideas and ideals - where international action is increasingly the avenue for addressing problems across the globe - UK membership of the EU amplifies Britain's voice internationally." BBC political correspondent Chris Mason says the contrasting views illustrate the growing intensity of an argument now raging at the heart of British politics - should the UK's future be inside or outside the EU? The rise of the UK Independence Party has made this a mainstream political talking point in the run up to the European Parliament elections later this month, the general election in a year's time and the in-out referendum on EU membership in 2017 promised by the Conservatives if they win the next election, he adds. A spokesman for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said: "The European Union remains the UK's most important export market - half of our trade goes to the single market and around 3.5 million UK jobs are linked to UK exports to EU member states. "Through the trade agreements that we negotiate as part of the world's largest economic area, we are able to gain access to important and rapidly growing global markets. "The EU's share of UK trade has remained consistent because of the huge growth in other markets in the same period." Media playback is not supported on this device England became the first host nation to be eliminated in the group stages when they lost matches to Wales and Australia in Pool A. "I ultimately accept and take responsibility for the team's performance," said Lancaster. Lancaster, 46, was made permanent coach in 2012 and won 28 of his 46 games, but failed to win the Six Nations. "I took on the role in difficult circumstances and it has been a huge challenge to transition the team with many hurdles along the way," he added. "However, I am immensely proud of the development of this team and I know that there is an incredibly strong foundation for them to progress to great things in the future. "We have played some excellent rugby and it was always going to be tough to get the right level of experience into them in time for 2015. It is a young group of players with the huge majority available for the World Cup in Japan in 2019, where I believe their recent experience will make them genuine contenders." A review into England performance at the World Cup took place after the tournament, with Rugby Football Union chief executive Ian Ritchie stating that Lancaster agreed he should step down from his role. ''The Rugby World Cup was hugely disappointing for everyone associated with the England team and the subsequent review into the team's performance was always intended to be extremely comprehensive, which it has been," said Ritchie. "Following the review, Stuart and I met, where we agreed that he should step down as head coach. This was subsequently ratified by the RFU board." He added: "Despite the results during this World Cup he has much to be proud of, and has embedded a new group of players that will be representing England for a long time to come. Looking forward, we will leave no stone unturned to ensure England achieves sustained success in the future." Former England international Andy Goode: "We were all excited pre-World Cup. But it was obviously a failure and, as he said, it was his responsibility. I am not surprised by the decision. It is probably the right one. There are some great coaches in the setup, who need to be looked at." Former England and Bath hooker Lee Mears: "I wonder if they could have kept him in the RFU somewhere. You can't waste all that experience. It's very reactive and causes a load of havoc." There is no word yet from the RFU on the future of Lancaster's coaching team of Andy Farrell, Graham Rowntree and Mike Catt. The full World Cup review will be presented to an RFU board meeting on 17 November. The search will then begin for a replacement for Lancaster in time for next year's Six Nations, with England opening their campaign away to Scotland on 6 February. Those linked with the vacant position include Australia's Michael Cheika, former Wallabies and Japan coach Eddie Jones, Wales boss Warren Gatland and Ireland's Joe Schmidt. Trinder, 25, started the first two games of the Premiership season but was forced off the field in the win over Sale on 13 September. The Cherry and Whites did not reveal how long he will be sidelined for but said the operation was a success. England Saxons player Trinder made 19 appearances for the club last season, scoring five tries. Trinder was one of three uncapped centres called up to Stuart Lancaster's squad for the 2013 autumn Test series and featured in the tour of New Zealand this summer, playing 58 minutes against Crusaders. The suspect is said to be a white male aged 40-49. The description came from a second priest who was injured in the attack. The Reverend Joseph Terra, 56, is in a critical condition in hospital. He administered Last Rites to the Reverend Kenneth Walker, 28, following the break-in at the church. A $1,000 (£589) reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest in the incident. Police went door to door in the neighbourhood looking for potential witnesses on Friday. Investigators are unsure if more than one suspect was involved or if robbery was a motive in the attack at Mother of Mercy Mission in Phoenix. A car belonging to Father Walker was found abandoned several blocks from the church after the crime. Authorities said they were able to recover forensic evidence from the automobile that may lead them to a suspect. Father Terra initially called authorities to report a burglary at the mission at about 21:00 local time on Wednesday. Police later said Father Terra was so badly beaten it was feared he would not survive. "Unfortunately because of the severity of his injuries, he was only able to provide limited information about one particular suspect," Phoenix police Sergeant Steve Martos told US media. Parishioner Bill Haley told the Associated Press news agency he had visited Reverend Terra in hospital and the priest was able to talk. "He said nothing evil about the person who did this, expressed no ill will." But, bosses said there had been "no major impact" on the business. "Like many organisations our plant was subject to a ransomware attack affecting some of our systems on Friday evening," a spokeswoman confirmed. The government's emergency committee, COBRA, is due to meet to discuss the global cyber attack which also disabled NHS computers in England and Scotland. The situation at the Wearside plant is "continuing to be monitored", but in line with normal weekend procedures no car production was taking place, the spokeswoman added. Cyber-security firm Avast said it had seen 75,000 cases of the ransomware - known as WannaCry and variants of that name - around the world. The attack that also hit about 40 NHS organisations was "unprecedented" in scale, Europe's police agency says. About 200 to 250 brain tumour cases are operated on in Northern Ireland each year. Across the UK, more children and people under the age of 40 die of a brain tumour than any other cancer. Dr Tom Flannery said that more funding into research on brain tumours was essential in order to lower the number of people dying from the disease. Dr Flannery is the lead brain tumour researcher at the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology (CCRCB) at Queen's. The centre and theBrainwaves NIcharity are hosting an information evening on Wednesday to raise awareness about the prevalence of brain tumours. Sandra McKillop from Brainwaves NI said: "There is a real need to accelerate progress and improve treatments and outcomes for those affected by a brain tumour in Northern Ireland. "Research into brain tumours receives less than 1% of the national spend on cancer research and we, along with the researchers at Queen's, are calling for this to be increased. In June 1984 there were violent clashes between police and pickets at the Orgreave coking plant, near Rotherham in South Yorkshire. Present were 10,000 striking miners and 5,000 police officers. More than 90 people were arrested, but the trial collapsed after 16 weeks. The scars run deep. The Independent Police Complaints Commission is still investigating what actually happened, and whether there should be a new inquiry into the action of the police. Now, 30 years on, the Orgreave site is utterly changed. Hundreds of new houses have sprung up in an estate called Waverley. The rest, marked by two wind turbines, is a sleek new industrial estate devoted to what is called advanced manufacturing. A series of large labs, workshops, and design studios built in the past 14 years, it bears a cumbersome name - the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with Boeing. The aircraft-maker put considerable resources into the facility. Elsewhere on the industrial estate, new factories are springing up. The most striking is a large Rolls-Royce plant, which will soon start producing "single crystal" fan blades for jet engines. They are much stronger than conventional ones, and able to function at far higher temperatures. There will be 300 skilled engineering jobs at the Rolls-Royce centre. Signs of a real manufacturing revival, after decades of relative decline in many industries. Meanwhile, down the road in Rotherham there is the looming Magna Science Adventure Centre, a testimony to the wider Sheffield area's heritage as the steel capital of Britain. School children troop in to marvel at the cavernous melting shop. Once an hour they can watch a simulated "big melt", which seemingly brings back to life one of the huge electric arc furnaces that dominated the former Steel Peech and Tozer steelworks. Some 10,000 men were employed here in the decades up to its closure in 1993. Now a handful of them show visitors round, full of good stories about the district's rich industrial past, and how this works began when two local 19th Century bookies made so much money from the horses they decided to invest a bit of it in steelmaking. Since one of them was called Mr Steel, there seemed something inevitable about it. The company, changing hands many times over the years, eventually become an industrial giant. But now its huge works are just an enormous memorial to a vanished past. Nevertheless, as I discovered the other day, Sheffield's steel inheritance lives on in various ways. The city has been a centre of British knife making for centuries. In William Chaucer's 14th Century poem The Canterbury Tales, the Miller carries a Sheffield-made knife. Innovation in the 18th Century enhanced this reputation. The tradition continued with silvered Sheffield plate cutlery in the 19th Century. Just over 100 years ago, a researcher in a commercial lab in Sheffield perfected stainless steel, giving a new twist to Sheffield's Steel City reputation. But over the decades since then, global competition has seriously eroded that once mighty reputation. What remains from the great tradition is considerable expertise in cutting equipment still absolutely vital to engineering processes. The Sheffield firms who have survived have learnt how to apply high technology and computer-controlled precision to the tools they have been making for many years. And now the AMRC is finding new ways of using state of the art machines to save time and money in production processes. The other day in another building on the campus called the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre they were installing a vast boring machine costing hundreds of thousands of pounds. It will be used to perfect the speedy drilling of very accurate holes needed in Britain's new nuclear reactors, if, that is, the orders for them are ever placed. All this public money spent on machines and research induces a nagging question - why cannot the huge engineering companies who partner with AMRC do the research themselves? They have invested in similar machinery, after all. They are using it all the time. The answer is a revealing one. Advanced manufacturing needs lots of corporate capital. Invest in such a machine and you can't afford to experiment with it once it goes into production. But the AMRC researchers are paid to do that, sharing the results with partner companies large and small, and, it is hoped, creating new opportunities and jobs in British businesses. Much of the work is too highly technical readily to be explained to non-engineers. But we stopped at what looked like a thick titanium bus wheel lying on its side. In fact it was the rotor disc at the centre of the famous Rolls Trent jet engine. The disc has some 20 slots into which the fans of the engine are fitted, an assembly that has to withstand very high temperature and pressure. Each slot used to take 54 minutes to gouge out of the resistant titanium block. Thanks to AMRC research work on cutting tools, lubricants, software and machining techniques, the same job can now be done in 90 seconds. Remarkable savings in the time it takes to make each engine, and big competitive advantages for the manufacturer. There in a nutshell - or a jet engine slot - is advanced manufacturing. Improvement by improvement, detail by detail, over and over again. With millions invested in the site where they fought the Battle of Orgreave, Sheffield University and its backers are hoping they will find many more ways of helping British manufacturing to thrive and prosper, two centuries after the British industrial revolution changed the way the world worked for the first time round. Peter Day reports from Sheffield in the first of a new BBC Radio 4 series of In Business on Thursday, 3 April at 20:30, repeated on Sunday, 6 April at 21:30. Anna Swabey, from Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, died the day before she was due to marry Andy Bell. Her target of raising £100,000 for Brain Tumour Research was reached on the day of her funeral. "As much as it's tragic we didn't get to the wedding, it's not the end of the world," Mr Bell said. "She got to plan the wedding, she had a hen do, she got to buy a dress." Ms Swabey's final blog post on 8 July said chemotherapy had left her feeling unwell but her spirits had been lifted by her hen party in York. The 25-year-old died on 16 September. "With Anna's positive attitude - I never once thought she would be beaten by it," Mr Bell said. "I'll always class her as my wife. I don't need a piece of paper or a ceremony. I'll have my memories and I'll always have that. "I'll always be lucky for the time I had with Anna and she made me the happiest person in the world." Ms Swabey said she wanted to "make a positive out of this negative situation" when she set the target of £100,000 on a fundraising page. Following her diagnosis, she described her treatment in the blog Inside my Head. In a blog post after her death her sister, Victoria Cartwright, said the family "shared as much time as they could" with her, "some lucid, mostly not, but all precious nonetheless". Mr Bell and Ms Swabey's family spent the weekend at what would have been the wedding venue in Richmond. Broadhead, 19, joined the Toffees academy in 2008 and has progressed to the Under-23 side. The Bangor-born striker or winger has been named in Wales' squad for the Toulon Under-20 tournament. "I've been an Evertonian all of my life and it feels like the perfect place to be for me," he said. "I'm just glad it's all done and I'm looking forward to next season now." In March, Gawker was ordered to pay wrestler Hulk Hogan $140m (£97m) for invading his privacy by publishing a sex tape. Mr Hogan's legal bill was paid by tech billionaire Peter Thiel, who said he wanted to curb Gawker's "bullying". Mr Thiel clashed with Gawker in 2007 over an article that outed him as gay. He has been criticised for using his wealth to try to silence the media by giving financial help to Mr Hogan and others that Gawker had written about. Mr Thiel has described his actions as "philanthropic". Now in an interview with the BBC, Mr Denton has said the venture capitalist and PayPal co-founder should accept that his position means he will be scrutinised in public. "If you're a billionaire and you have power and access to the media, you should expect now and then to get the occasional critical piece," said Mr Denton. "A wiser approach to getting angry and trying to sue a media company out of existence is to... develop a thicker skin." Mr Denton said the 2007 Gawker article was not the only reason Mr Thiel disliked the media. "My guess is that he has been more upset by the mockery of his political views," he told the BBC. "He is a supporter of Donald Trump, he is a libertarian, he resists the interference by terrestrial governments." Mr Thiel was among the "most extreme" of tech luminaries, Mr Denton said. Asked about the $140m judgement against Gawker, he said: "I'm confident that when this case comes before judges in a higher court that people will find again there is a place for critical journalism and it deserves to be protected. "There are substantial protections for the free press in the United States and there's protection for criticism." He defended Gawker's journalism saying it had "written a lot of stories, broken a lot of stories and annoyed a lot of powerful people." There was a "need for critical voices especially in the modern world, especially in the United States", he said. Michael Green, 62, began his 40-minute protest after staff refused to serve him in the drive-through lane of a Skegness branch on 1 August. At Skegness Magistrates' Court, he denied being drunk in charge of a carriage under the 1872 Licensing Act. Prosecutors said there was no public interest in continuing the case. The court heard staff at the fast food chain had refused to serve him "for insurance, and health and safety reasons". A security guard photographed the former HGV driver, who is registered disabled after a head injury in 1997, talking to a police officer who attended the scene with a breathalyser. Mr Green, of Clifford Road, Skegness, refused to give a breath specimen. He insisted he was not drunk and that his vehicle was roadworthy, the court heard. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said: "We do not believe it is in the public interest to prosecute Mr Green. "It may be he was part of some form of disturbance at McDonald's on the day in question, but we do not believe it amounted to any criminal offence." In a statement, McDonald's said it "supported the decision taken by our colleagues based on the risks deemed to be present". "It was felt in this instance that it was not safe for the operator of the mobility scooter to be in the drive-through area," the company said. The 1872 licensing act was originally brought in to crack down on anyone caught drunk in charge of a carriage, steam engine, bicycle, a horse or a cow. Mobility scooters are classed as invalid carriages. David Newall, 36, from Bradford, and Rhys Barker, 18, from Castleford, West Yorkshire died at the site in Dunwoody Way on Wednesday. A 45-year-old man from Glossop, who was working near the crane, is in a stable condition in hospital. Post-mortem tests found the two men died from crush injuries. The Health and Safety Executive is investigating. Latest on this and other stories from Staffordshire and Cheshire Mr Barker's family said it was his first job. His former school Airedale Academy paid tribute to him, saying he was a "lovely young man with his whole life ahead of him". Principal Elizabeth Fairhurst said Mr Barker had studied business and left last year. "He was a friendly young man, extremely well-mannered, who was popular with other students. "His teachers remember him as hardworking, dedicated and quiet; he regularly took part in sporting events for the school," she said. She said one of his friends was fundraising for money for a memorial bench in the school grounds and students had organised a balloon release in his memory. A parent and child were taken to hospital as a precaution because the crane damaged a nearby home. Police said the three men were "working on the crane" when the accident happened. The man in hospital, believed to be the crane driver, has serious injuries but they are not thought to be life-threatening. The building site - formerly part of the Bombardier Works complex - belongs to Seddon Homes. Its chief executive said he could not speculate about what had happened. A man who lives nearby, who only gave his name as Jason, told BBC Radio Stoke the crane - being used to help build new homes - had been lifting tools before it fell. "They finished the work, the crane positioned itself facing Bombardier. "The guys finished their work and they were still up there when all of a sudden, it slowly just started to tilt, tilt tilt. "Guys started shouting and it completely fell on the floor." Steven Hogben, a Labour councillor on Cheshire East Council, said he drove past the site a few minutes before the accident. He said he had thought the crane looked "amazingly high". "It was a tall crane which only appeared a few days ago," he said. "I'm not aware of any concerns having been raised about it." Journalists said it was a "coup" - they were given notice after being stopped from entering the building on Saturday. The owners said it followed declining sales. The governing party said it was "a rational economic decision". Nepszabadsag has often criticised Prime Minister Viktor Orban. It opposed last weekend's referendum on refugees. Mr Orban's government has often been accused of using public media as a government mouthpiece. A number of private media outlets have also been bought by his allies, critics say. The government-backed paper Magyar Idok echoes the government line that the closure was purely the result of economic factors, and that it would be "an infringement of the freedom of the press, if we were to have a say in the decisions of a media owner". The pro-government news website Origo emphasises that the paper's closure was inevitable, given its plummeting circulation figures and serious financial losses. However, the left-wing daily Nepszava says that, despite the government's claim that the decision to suspend Nepszabadsag was taken on purely economic grounds, many people will conclude that "today's move is a serious attack on press freedom and democracy". A commentary by investigative journalist Pal Daniel Renyi on the independent news website 444.hu concludes: "No-one should be in any doubt that Nepszabadsag is the victim of a political manoeuvre." Nepszabadsag is a leading centre-left daily. It is independent, but tends to support the left-leaning political opposition. Nepszabadsag's shutdown includes its print and online versions. A message posted on the paper's Facebook page described the move as a "coup". "We are in shock. Of course they will try and paint this as a business decision but it's not the truth," a journalist who did not wish to be named told AFP news agency. Many said the suspension came days after the paper had broken stories of alleged corruption involving senior officials. Opposition parties said the move showed Mr Orban wanted to suppress press freedoms in Hungary and to gain full control of the media. The Socialist Party said it was a "black day for the press" and called a demonstration outside the paper's offices at 16:00 GMT. Mediaworks, which bought Nepszabadsag in 2014, said that its circulation had tumbled by 74% in the last 10 years. A military assault rifle is believed to have been used and up to eight shots struck the passenger's side of the car at Rossnareen Avenue on Thursday. Two officers who were in the car were not injured but were said to have been badly shaken. Police said they believe the gunman travelled to and from the scene in a black BMW 3 Series. It had been fitted with a false Republic of Ireland registration plate and was later found on fire in Cluain Mor Drive in Belfast. The car had been reported stolen from an address in Ashbourne in County Meath, on 7 September. Police said it was "critical" to the investigation that they received information on the car's movements from that date up until the attack. They added that both the owner of the stolen car and the individual whose car registration was duplicated on the false plates had no involvement in the attack. The Environment and Environmental Health Department said a higher than normal number have been reported. Some swimmers have received multiple stings. The north coast of the island has been particularly affected, with several different species reported. Marine study group Jersey Seasearch said these included the mauve stinger, compass jellyfish and a large, non-stinging, mushroom-shaped jellyfish. Stewart Petrie, head of Environmental Health, said people should not touch any part of a jellyfish - whether alive or dead - as both the body and tentacles can deliver stings. "There are far more jellyfish than might normally be expected and while they are highly unlikely to have serious consequences, stings can be painful, particularly for anyone who receives multiple stings," he said. "Parents should keep an eye out for children who are not confident swimmers and may be alarmed if they are stung while swimming." Dog walkers have also been warned to be aware of the risks. The department said pouring sea water slowly over a sting should help to reduce the pain. The Unite union said the closures represented a third of the bank's branch network. The move was described as the largest-ever closure plan by the bank. Unite national officer Rob MacGregor said the move would be "concerning" for local communities which would be left with less choice in banking services. Mr MacGregor said: "Staff across the Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank will be devastated to learn that 79 branches will close and consequently over 400 colleagues will lose their jobs. "Unite is clear that the closure of a third of the bank's branches will not only be concerning for staff but the local communities which will see their bank branch close. This cost-cutting plan leaves customers with less choice for local banking. "The union has called on the bank to give a commitment to mitigate compulsory redundancies where possible and that they will reconsider closing any bank branches that are the last bank in a town." He added: "Unite workplace representatives will be able to assist members over the coming day and weeks to support staff impacted by this announcement." Clydesdale said the move had been prompted by the trend towards electronic banking. It said the banking industry in the UK had seen bank visits fall by a third since 2011. Unite has published a list of the branches expected to close: A statement from the bank said: "The Bank continues to reshape its service offering in response to these changing needs. "To support this transformation the Bank is committing £350m over the next two years, embracing digital innovation while continuing to invest in a more sustainable branch network to deliver a superior customer experience. "The Bank's first priority is to our customers and we will be working extensively with impacted customers, local communities and relevant stakeholders to ensure that the transition to their new branch is as smooth and as sensitive as possible, particularly where vulnerable customers are concerned. "It is also the Bank's intention to try to find roles for frontline branch staff either within other branches or elsewhere in the Bank, wherever possible." Clydesdale customer banking director Gavin Opperman added: "While the decision to close any branch is never an easy one, it is important that we, in line with other banks operating in the UK market, continue to respond to changes in the way customers want to bank with us. "The changes announced today continue our journey towards a model that combines an enhanced digital platform with a right sized branch network; allowing customers to interact with us through a wide range of channels - mobile, online, telephone, in-branch - whenever and however they want."

Officials said three officers were attacked by two men on a motorcycle. The interior ministry said police in the city, 140km (90 miles) south of the capital Tunis, had launched a vast search for the gunmen. Tunisia's tourism industry has suffered badly since the Sousse beach killings and an attack in Tunis in March. "Three policemen were the target of gunshots fired by two men on a big motorcycle," a statement from the interior ministry said. "One of them died during transport to the hospital, the other two were not affected," it added. Sousse is still trying to recover after a gunman killed 38 tourists on a beach in the city on 26 June in an attack later claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group. Officials say more than 3,000 Tunisians have left to fight with IS in Iraq and Syria and increasingly in neighbouring Libya. The gunmen in the Sousse massacre and an attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis on 18 March were trained in militant camps in Libya. Tunisia emerged as a model for democratic transition in the Middle East after an uprising in 2011 ousted President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali - but it has faced a growing militant threat. One of the victims, Matt Grimstone, was a member of the Championship club's ground staff team while another, Jacob Schilt, was a Seagulls supporter. "I have have been incredibly impressed with the way the club and the community have come together, right through this period," Hughton told BBC Sussex. "It is about us showing our respects." Grimstone and Schilt were among 11 victims of the crash which occurred on 22 August when a Hunter Hawker jet crashed on to the A27. There will be a minute's applause before kick-off against Hull, while Brighton are also planning other tributes before the match begins. "Matt was highly thought of while Jacob was a very big supporter," Hughton added. "We were at the funeral of Matt on Monday, and the turnout from the club and the local community was exceptional. "It is a Brighton and Hove Albion day and a day we pay our respects, using it as a celebration of their lives. That is the way the family and the community would like to remember it." Both Grimstone and Schilt played for Sussex non-league side Worthing United, who dedicated last Sunday's FA Vase match against East Preston to the duo. The prince said many of the children had been "traumatised by the horrors of what they've witnessed". He also praised the "extraordinary generosity" of the Jordanian people and called for greater assistance. The prince and the Duchess of Cornwall were visiting the King Abdullah camp, which is home to 1,500 Syrians who have fled the two-year conflict. More than a million Syrians have now been registered by the UN as refugees in countries including Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt. In pictures: Charles at refugee camp Prince Charles and the duchess, who are on a three-day tour of the Middle East, were greeted by UN staff at the camp. The couple visited a craft skills training centre for women and children, and went to a nursery where 20 children sang songs to them. The prince said some of the children had lost parents and suffered "horrendous experiences". He praised the work of the "wonderful" NGOs (non-governmental organisations) and the generosity of the "truly remarkable Jordanian people". "They've managed to cope with and deal with all these hundreds of thousands of refugees and it's very nearly the second anniversary," he said. "The generosity is extraordinary but it's putting more and more strain on food and hospitals so clearly the Jordanians need more assistance and help to be able to cope with this immense challenge." The Duchess of Cornwall echoed her husband's sentiments, and said she found the experience "very humbling". "Seeing all these children, some of them have lost their parents and been adopted by others, I feel it is quite heartbreaking," she said. This is the couple's second full day in Jordan. Their next stop after the camp was the historic Roman city of Jerash. The couple are travelling to Qatar followed by Saudi Arabia and Oman. The King Abdullah camp, near Jordan's northern border with Syria, is one of the smaller camps in the country. It is run by the UN, Unicef and Save the Children. The BBC's Wyre Davis, who is at the camp, said thousands of people were crossing the border into Jordan every night and half of them were thought to be children. Extended families are crowded into one portable home but at least they have access to education and food in Jordan, he said. The royal couple's visit comes as Save the Children warns that some two million children are in need of help in Syria. Their report says increasing numbers are being recruited as guards, informers, fighters and, in some cases, human shields, for both sides involved in the conflict. Save the Children's chief executive, Justin Forsyth, said the royal couple's visit would help publicise the plight of the refugees. "There are still two million children inside Syria. If action is not taken soon to bring this conflict to an end, the physical and mental harm done to them could irreparably damage a generation of children," he said. Earlier this month, Jordan's King Abdullah called on world nations to help his country, Turkey and Lebanon to shoulder "the tremendous burden" of caring for the huge influx of people. The conflict in Syria began almost two years ago with demonstrations against the government of President Bashar al-Assad. The protests quickly turned violent as opponents of Mr Assad took up arms to try to resist a brutal crackdown by the authorities. The conflict has left more than 70,000 people dead and two million internally displaced, of a pre-conflict population of 20.7 million. The British Medical Association (BMA) in Scotland said regulation was weak, driving obesity and alcohol problems, while the NHS "picks up the pieces". The BMA has joined calls for stricter licensing, including a ban on TV adverts before the 21:00 watershed. The Scottish government has written to Westminster calling for the ban, which the Tories branded "a brainless idea". Dr Peter Bennie, chairman of the BMA Scotland, said: "Despite the serious health harms associated with excessive alcohol consumption and obesity in the UK, these industries use marketing to promote consumption of their products. "The cost of alcohol to our society is significant and, inevitably, the NHS picks up the pieces. "Obesity rates too are worryingly high, driven by the promotion and availability of unhealthy foods. "Obesity brings with it increased risk of a wide range of serious life-threatening and chronic diseases. While doctors have a role to play in supporting overweight patients, there is a limit to what they can do. "The UK government could take decisive action to change the culture of excess that the junk food and alcohol industry promotes, and tougher regulation of advertising would be a positive first step." Barbara O'Donnell, deputy chief executive at Alcohol Focus Scotland, said: "Although current rules prohibit alcohol advertising around children's programmes, alcohol adverts are allowed during early evening family viewing when the largest number of children watch television." Children surveyed were more familiar with alcohol brands than biscuits, crisps and ice cream, she added. Control over broadcast advertising is reserved to Westminster. Scottish Public Health Minister Maureen Watt has written to UK government ministers calling for alcohol and junk food advertising to be prohibited before the TV watershed. "There is a wealth of research which shows that children seeing these adverts while they are watching their favourite family programmes respond positively towards them and they affect their behaviour," she said. "That's something that needs to be addressed." Scottish Conservative health spokesman Jackson Carlaw said: "This brainless idea is more evidence of an SNP which thinks state always knows best." He added: "It's not Nicola Sturgeon's role to act like a deranged head nanny in the SNP's increasingly scary nanny state." The 26-year-old striker has made 28 appearances, scoring four goals, since being signed by former Red boss Brendan Rodgers from AC Milan for £16m in 2014. Balotelli also held talks with Swiss club FC Sion after being told to find a new club. Nice came fourth in Ligue 1 last season to qualify for the Europa League. Balotelli spent time on loan with Italian side AC Milan last season, scoring one goal in 20 games in Serie A. The outgoing UKIP leader told MEPs the ex-Belgian prime minister was the "high priest" of federalism and should be replaced by someone "who likes the UK". Mr Verhofstadt is one of three officials chosen by EU institutions. He told MEPs earlier he didn't want to "punish" the UK but to build "sound relations" after the UK's departure. Although the Belgian politician, who leads the Alliance of Liberal and Democrats grouping in the European Parliament, will not actually lead the EU's talks with the UK, the European Parliament has said he will have a "central role" in discussions expected to last at least two years. The European Parliament's approval is required before any settlement is agreed with the UK. Mr Farage, who will officially step down as UKIP leader on Friday but remain as an MEP, criticised the appointment during a debate in Strasbourg, saying it showed the EU had not "learnt any lessons" from the UK's rejection of its membership. "If you think of this building as a temple, then Mr Verhofstadt is the high priest," he said. Responding to Mr Verhofstadt's statement earlier in the session that the EU was the "counterweight" to growing nationalism on the continent, Mr Farage said his fellow MEP was the "only real nationalist in the room" because he supported the EU having its own "flags, anthems and armies". He added: "I frankly think this appointment pretty much amounts to a declaration of war on any sensible negotiating process. "I think what we really need is for this Parliament to recognise it has made a mistake and find someone who actually likes the UK to lead these talks." Mr Farage also urged UK PM Theresa May to get on with the process of the UK leaving the EU. She has ruled out official talks until the start of next year at the earliest. Mr Verhofstadt, who was given the role of negotiator by the leaders of the main party blocs in the parliament, said he was not out for revenge against the UK and called for an end to what he said had been the "collective depression on both sides of the channel" after June's Brexit vote. "Brexit is not a liability," he said. "I see it more as an opportunity...The British government wants to make from Brexit a success. Fair enough; it's their duty. "But we have also our duty. And our duty, our responsibility is to make from Brexit a success for Europe, for all the citizens of Europe. "Brexit is not a matter of punishment. It's not a matter of revenge... It's in my opinion a question of the sound relations between Britain and Europe." Backing the European Commission's plans for a "common military force" - outlined earlier by its President Jean-Claude Juncker - he said the solution to the rise of Euroscepticism was "not to kill Europe but to reinvent Europe". Europe's other top Brexit negotiators will be Belgian Didier Seeuws and French finance expert and former EU Commissioner Michel Barnier, representing the European Council and European Commission respectively. On Wednesday, the European Commission said it would set up a new "task force" manage negotiations with the UK once it invokes Article 50 and begins the formal process of leaving the EU - led by Mr Barnier. Also speaking in Wednesday's debate, Syed Kamall - who heads the group of Conservative MEPs in the European Parliament - said the EU had to heed the "warning signals" flagged up by the Brexit vote by heading in a radically different direction. "The more you propagate EU supra-nationalism, the more nationalism has arisen in our member states. The more you ignore or condemn scepticism, the more likely the prospect of a President Le Pen or Prime Minister Wilders." A difficult season at Borussia Dortmund may have chipped, very slightly, away at his burgeoning reputation but the floppy hair, the stubble, the designer frames, the unique sense of humour and the hugely engaging manner have long marked him out as a man who stands out from the crowd. His decision to end his seven-year love affair with Dortmund came as a shock to many and immediately prompted speculation about his next move. Having ruled out a sabbatical from the game, BBC Sport looks in detail at where 'Kloppo' may end up next. Manchester City: The latest information I have on the long-running 'Klopp to Manchester City' talk, is that the German is no longer on the club's radar. Now, clearly it is dangerous to be definitive about anything in football but it seems Klopp goes in the 'no interest in him' list alongside Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone. In the past Klopp has hinted that his philosophy may not tally with City's anyway, having said: "I don't want the most money for a team because that brings problems. I don't want these problems." It is no secret that City, along with Chelsea, discussed Klopp as a candidate before appointing Manuel Pellegrini and Jose Mourinho respectively two summers ago. At the time, he indicated that he wanted to stay with his outstanding young Dortmund team, intent on rising to the challenge posed by the arrival of Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich that summer. With Pellegrini's tenure looking increasingly under threat, City want Guardiola, although it remains to be seen if the feeling is mutual. Chances: 1/10 Manchester United: A year ago, Old Trafford felt like a very different place. David Moyes was no longer the chosen one, but the sacked one, and the search had begun for a new manager with Louis van Gaal very much to the fore from the early stages. Klopp was asked whether he wanted the United job and responded by saying: "Man Utd is a great club and I feel very familiar with their wonderful fans. But my commitment to Borussia Dortmund and the people is not breakable." With Van Gaal in the process of turning United into contenders again, the door is now firmly closed. It is far more likely we will see centre-back Mats Hummels making the journey from Dortmund to Manchester, than his manager. Chances: 0/10 Liverpool: The Liverpool owners may have had their faith in Brendan Rodgers tested at times this season, particularly in early December, but the Northern Irishman is very much their man for now. Klopp's name featured prominently on the shortlist put together by Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group in the wake of Kenny Dalglish's departure in 2012, but he quickly made it clear that he had no wish to leave Dortmund, then champions of Germany. Almost three years later and Rodgers has already mounted one title challenge and, for now, is still seen as the man to mount another, despite this season's problems. Chances: 1/10 Any other Premier League club? In an interview last November, Klopp made it clear that England was his next challenge. "It's the only country, I think, where I should work, really, next to Germany, because it's the only country I know the language a little bit and I need the language for my work." With Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea apparently out of the running, it remains to be seen if he is still as interested as he was before. West Ham are likely to be in the market for a new manager, as will Newcastle, but neither match the ambition of a man who wants to conquer Europe again. Arsenal admire Klopp, the German admires them and - whenever the Gunners endure a rough patch - his is the first name on the lips of many of their fans. However, the chances of him replacing Arsene Wenger this summer are miniscule. Wenger is less than a year into a new deal that runs until 2017, he has never broken a contract, his current team are looking better than any of their recent predecessors and few are calling for the Frenchman's head. In the future it might happen but, barring a disastrous end to the season, not now. Chances: 2/10 Real Madrid: The Bernabeu is certainly a potential destination for Klopp because Carlo Ancelotti's future is far from clear. Notably, at a recent news conference staged to deny he was on the verge of sacking Ancelotti, Real president Florentino Perez pointedly stated Ancelotti would be in charge for "days and weeks" ahead - but refused to commit himself further than that. The major stumbling block is Real legend Zinedine Zidane, who is being groomed as a future manager by Perez and is currently gaining experience in charge of the club's reserve team. If this summer comes too early for Zidane, however, Klopp would be a major contender. Chances: 7/10 Barcelona: Despite leading his team to 20 wins from their last 22 games, Barcelona boss Luis Enrique may be out of a job after one season in charge because of presidential elections which will take place in June or July. Current president Josep Maria Bartomeu is mandated to serve until 2016, but he recently brought elections forward by a year after a series of damaging scandals. Former president Joan Laporta - Bartomeu's sworn enemy - is expected to stand for election, and whoever wins the battle will want to make a statement by appointing their own man as coach. Whether Klopp is prepared to enmesh himself in Catalonia's political infighting remains to be seen. Chances: 5/10 Atletico Madrid: In many ways, Atletico Madrid are the best natural fit for Klopp in Spain. Like his team at Dortmund over the past few years, Atletico have overachieved by marrying a fast-paced, counter-attacking style with whole-hearted physical effort, backed up by passionate fans who revel in their ability to get one over the nation's big boys. Current Atletico boss Diego Simeone, though, has just signed a new five-year contract to stay at the Vicente Calderon and appears fully committed despite strong interest from elsewhere. But if Simeone broke Atletico's hearts by making a U-turn and deciding to leave, Klopp would be the perfect replacement. Chances: 2/10 A manager jumping ship to join their biggest rivals, it could never happen could it? Unless your name is Harry Redknapp perhaps, no. Treble-seeking Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has a watertight contract until 2016 and, according to chairman of the board Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the Spaniard is "unsackable". Even if Guardiola chooses not to prolong his stay in Bavaria, there isn't a vacancy at Bayern until next year. By that time Klopp will, rest assured, be safely installed as an employee of a money-rich Premier League club, where the effervescent German will astound everyone with his near flawless English skills, as well as his coaching ability and motivation skills. Chances: 3/10 A move to Italy or France would be very unlikely. It's not that there is no love to be had in Serie A or Ligue 1, it's more like arriving at the disco two hours too late, everyone good is already taken. It's hard to see Juventus divorcing Massimiliano Allegri, a man who has just masterminded a comfortable Champions League win over Dortmund in favour of the very coach he outthought over two legs. Only Klopp knows for sure but it seems the established elite are what may well tempt him, but a move to (for example) Inter Milan is also unlikely. After too many years in the shadows of Jose Mourinho, former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini looks like he's beginning to turn things around there. Despite sitting two places above Inter in eighth, their city rivals are perhaps the most likely (or least unlikely) Italian destination. Former AC Milan player Zvonimir Boban is one of many to voice strong criticism of current boss Filippo Inzaghi in recent weeks. If he's likely to swipe "no" to Serie A on world's football's management carousel then the pool of potential in France may be even smaller. If everything we hear about Klopp is correct it's hard to see anyone outside of Paris St-Germain or Marseilletempting him. PSG have had a great season under Laurent Blanc and are in the Champions League quarter-finals as well as chasing a domestic treble. While Marseille would have been screaming out for a suitor like Klopp 12 months ago, they are now firmly in a relationship with Marcelo Bielsa, who has them challenging again domestically for the first time in years. Chances of Ligue 1 or Serie A move: 3/10 Nokia's law suits have been filed in three courts in Germany and one in Texas. The claims cover patents for displays, user interfaces, software, antennas, chipsets and video coding. On Tuesday, Apple started legal action against Acacia Research and Conversant Intellectual Property Management, alleging they had conspired with Nokia to extort money from Apple. Nokia said: "Since agreeing a license covering some patents from the Nokia Technologies portfolio in 2011, Apple has declined subsequent offers made by Nokia to license other of its patented inventions which are used by many of Apple's products." Between 2009 and 2011 the two companies were locked in a series of tit-for-tat legal battles over the patents for the technology they used in their mobile phones. At the time Nokia was still the world's leading mobile phone manufacturer, but was being rapidly undermined by the rise of Apple's iPhone. In the end the two companies settled, with Apple making an undisclosed one-off payment, and making further royalty payments to use Nokia technology. Nokia eventually sold its mobile phone business to Microsoft in 2014, though earlier this year it said it would re-enter the mobile phone business by licensing its technology and brand name to a new Finish firm called HMD, which is making Nokia-branded phones once more. The 50-year-old, who previously managed Llanelli in Welsh football's top-flight, succeeds Neville Powell. Powell was sacked after nine years in charge, having won three Welsh Cups and the Welsh Premier League in 2010-11. Legg started his professional career at Swansea City and also played for Notts County, Birmingham City and Cardiff City. "For me, Bangor City FC is the biggest club in the Welsh Premier League and enjoys the best support," said Legg, who won six caps for Wales. "There was only one team that would bring me back to the Welsh Premier League and that's Bangor City. "I'm looking forward to the challenge." Tory and Lib Dem members are to receive an e-mail explaining the decision in a move that will be seen as preparing the ground for a hike in tuition fees. Lord Browne's review of fees in England is expected to recommend more than doubling fees to about £7,000 a year. The business secretary says he is still committed to a "progressive" element within the final fees package. The Liberal Youth group immediately called on the party's MPs to reject any fee increase. The National Union of Students (NUS) says it is an "insult to the intelligence" to try to "re-brand" an increase in fees as "progressive". At the general election, Lib Dem MPs, including party leader Nick Clegg, signed personal pledges that they would vote against any increase in tuition fees. Now they face the prospect of a major U-turn if the coalition government accepts recommendations for a sharp increase in fees. There were immediate signs of grassroots opposition to such a change of policy. The Liberal Youth group says that its supporters will lobby against any fee rise and warned that it would expect Lib Dem MPs to rebel against any attempt to push such a fee hike through Parliament. Lord Browne's report on university funding is expected to be published on Tuesday. There are already expectations that it will recommend allowing fees to rise from the current £3,290 per year to £7,000 or more. The repayments on loans to cover these fees are set to be charged at a higher interest rate than at present - with the expectation that high-earning graduates could be charged at an even higher interest rate. The Liberal Democrats are pre-empting the report by highlighting such "progressive" measures - in which repayments on loans will be more expensive for graduates in higher-paid jobs. "I am entirely committed to a progressive system of graduate contributions, the details of which we will be able to confirm shortly," says Mr Cable in his letter. But he accepts that a graduate tax, which Mr Cable had raised as an alternative funding mechanism but the Tories have always been against, has been effectively ruled out. "A 'pure' graduate tax - is not the way forward. While it is superficially attractive, an additional tax on graduates fails both the tests of fairness and deficit reduction," he has written in an e-mail sent to Liberal Democrat and Conservative members. Mr Cable will want to dampen worries within his own party that the coalition government is about to move directly against a key election promise. Martin Shapland, chair of Liberal Youth, says that any attempt to raise fees would be "against everything the party stood for in the election". He said that he did not think such a switch in direction would be accepted by the party's MPs. NUS president Aaron Porter said if the Liberal Democrats were about to attempt such a policy reversal it would represent "an absolute betrayal of the electorate to abandon one of their most popular flagship policies and to sell students out in the process". "There is nothing fair about extending top-up fees further still and doubling tuition debt. It would be an insult to the intelligence of students and their families to attempt to re-brand the regressive and unpopular top-up fee system,"said Mr Porter. There have been intense political negotiations around the review of student fees. Universities, which already face a reduction in budget in the forthcoming spending review, say they are in urgent need of extra funding. But increasing fees threatens to be a major problem for the Liberal Democrats, who made their opposition to higher fees a flagship election issue. It will also raise sensitivities for the Conservatives of another squeeze on the middle classes, with the prospect of a three-year degree costing £21,000 or more, plus higher interest repayments on student debt. The firm said the vulnerability concerned its OneTouch Ping pump which is only sold in the US and Canada. However, it told the BBC there had been no reported attacks and the risk was "extremely low". "It would require technical expertise, sophisticated equipment and proximity to the pump," it said. The disclosure was made in a letter to patients on 27 September, the firm said. The Animas OneTouch Ping pump, which was launched in 2008, enables diabetics to dose themselves with insulin using a Wi-Fi remote control. This removes the hassle of directly accessing the device, which can be worn under the patient's clothes. Johnson & Johnson said the pump was not connected to the internet or to any external network. But Jay Radcliffe - a diabetic and researcher with cyber security firm Rapid7 - said he had discovered it could still be hacked from a distance of 25 feet. He found communications between the pump and its radio frequency remote could be hijacked - in theory allowing a hacker to administer unauthorised injections. Johnson & Johnson (J&J) said it had confirmed Mr Radcliffe's findings but that the pump remained "safe and reliable". It said worried patients could take precautions, such as not using the pump's remote and programming the device to limit its maximum dose. There are growing concerns over the risk of medical device hacks. In February, cyber security firm Kaspersky Lab revealed it had hacked into a hospital's IT infrastructure - with its permission - and was able to access an MRI device. And the US Food & Drug Administration is said to be preparing formal guidance for manufacturers on how to respond to reports of cyber attacks. The agency has previously urged medical firms to work with cyber security experts to mitigate risks - however it says it knows of no cases where criminals have hacked a device to cause harm. It said it had taken the step as part of an ongoing strategy to be more accessible and open about the work it does for the UK. The first tweet that it sent from the @GCHQ account was just two words: "Hello, world." It said it would be sending messages about its history as well as languages, maths, the outcomes of missions and technology. In a statement, GCHQ media head Andrew Pike said the agency would not share intelligence updates or give away the "tradecraft" it employs. Instead, he said, it would be a way for GCHQ to get involved in debates on technology and cyberspace which was key for a "technical organisation with computing at its core". This technical focus also drove GCHQ's choice of its maiden message, said Mr Pike. The short phrase is often the first that people learning to code get displayed on screen as they wrestle with a programming language. One of the first accounts @GCHQ followed was @007 - the official account for fictional spy James Bond. Many people on Twitter said it was ironic that they were now following GCHQ, given the agency's widely reported work on large-scale surveillance. The Twitter account follows other moves by GCHQ to engage with the technical world. It also maintains a repository on the Github code-sharing site through which it has shared one of its internal tools called Gaffer. The tool helps with the analysis of large-scale graphs. The 37-year-old Yorkshireman's 15th win on the island moved him ahead of the late Mike Hailwood. Hutchinson was five seconds ahead of Peter Hickman, who achieved his first TT podium finish, while Kawasaki-mounted Dean Harrison was third. Tyco BMW rider Hutchinson had not won a premier big bike class since 2010. Early leader Michael Dunlop retired on lap two at Handleys Corner. Dunlop's uncle, the late Joey Dunlop, holds the record of 26 solo TT wins, with Morecambe's John McGuinness on 23. Michael Dunlop, on a Bennetts Suzuki, set the fastest lap of the race on his opening circuit at 131.13mph, opening up a 1.8-second advantage over Harrison before his retirement. Despite securing trebles in each of the last two years after his return from serious injury, a Superbike victory had eluded Hutchinson since 2010 as he was forced to settle for second behind Dunlop in both big bike races last year. For his Northern Ireland-based TAS team, it was a first Superbike win since Cameron Donald's success on a Suzuki in 2008. "I was struggling early on in fourth place and on the first lap I was thinking I may not have the bike set up well enough to win," said Hutchinson. "But I thought it's a TT race over six laps and I'll just dig in. "I had a bit of luck with a few people going out and my pit boards were changing all the time in the early stages. "I really had to start motoring after my lead was reduced to two seconds on the last lap and the backmarkers came into play. I just had to respect them, get past and keep smooth." Harrison finished eight seconds behind Hickman, with James Hillier a further 1.7 seconds adrift in fourth and Manxman Dan Kneen and Michael Rutter completing the top six. The Nortons of David Johnson and Josh Brookes were seventh and eighth, while William Dunlop was ninth. Guy Martin crashed out unhurt on the first lap at Doran's Bend. Google search left the Chinese mainland in 2010, after the company said it would no longer self-censor results. It also accused the Chinese government of being behind a cyber-attack on it and many other tech companies. Mr Schmidt echoed comments by Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who said last week some services would return. During a speech at the Tech Crunch Beijing conference, Mr Schmidt said Google had a lot of partners in China and was in regular contact with the country's government about its presence and services. "The interesting thing is that Google never left China," he said. Its presence in the country helped it maintain contact with Chinese companies keen to advertise on Google's services outside the country, Mr Schmidt said. He did not provide details of what Google planned to expand or launch on the Chinese mainland. However, industry watchers said it was likely that a Chinese version of Google's Android Play store for apps would be one of the first. China is a key market for many companies because of its large population and its appetite for hi-tech goods. Mr Brin said last week that Google's recent re-structuring had given the company's units more independence, which might mean some launch in China before others. Each Alphabet business could now make its own decision about where it operated, he told the Wall Street Journal. Pearson, 29, who won gold at London 2012 and silver at Beijing 2008, suffered the injury in training. "Unfortunately, it is the biggest sporting event in the world that I am going to be missing out on," Pearson told Australia's Nine Network. "It's devastating that I can't be at Rio as the Olympic champ." Australia's track and field captain only returned from injury in June but has struggled for fitness. The 2011 world champion missed the end of the 2015 season after shattering her wrist competing in Rome. The athlete has had trouble with track times since her return and finished last at Norway's Diamond League event earlier this month. The Australian Olympic team's chef de mission, Kitty Chiller said earlier: "It is just such a shame for a fantastic champion, a fantastic fighter and if she doesn't run in Rio I'll be very, very sad for Sally and the team." In a blog post on 18 June, Pearson described her "exhausting" training regime to get ready for Rio and reflected on the "broken bones, torn calf, degenerative Achilles and hammy problems" that she has suffered from in the past 12 months. Princess Elena will make her debut in a 2016 episode of Sofia the First before getting her own spin-off series. In a blog post, Disney described the 16-year-old as the "bold, caring, funny and clever ascendant to the throne in the fairytale kingdom of Avalor". The kingdom will be inspired by diverse Latin cultures and folklore. Disney made history in 2009 with its first black princess, called Tiana, in The Princess and the Frog. The series will feature "a universal story" with themes that "authentically reflect the hopes and dreams of our diverse audience", according to Nancy Kanter, the executive vice president of Disney Junior Worldwide. "What excites us most is the chance to use distinctive animation and visual design to tell wonderful stories influenced by culture and traditions that are familiar to the worldwide population of Hispanic and Latino families and reflect the interests and aspirations of all children as told through a classic fairy tale," said Kanter. While the show will centre around the "confident and compassionate teenager" Elena, it is being targeted at children aged two to seven. Disney said the series, which will be presented in 25 languages around the world, will communicate "positive messages and life lessons" for young children about things like "leadership, resilience, diversity, compassion and the importance of family and family traditions". Princess Elena's story starts when she is trapped inside an amulet while trying to protect her sister and grandparents from evil sorceress Shuriki, who took her parents and kingdom away. It turns out to be the same amulet worn by Princess Sofia, who will set out to restore Elena to her human form and help her return to the kingdom of Avalor. Rockspring paid £45.6m for the 295,000 sq ft centre. It was sold by Corbo, the property company owned by local businessman Sam Morrison. Some of Corbo's bank loans were sold to US investment funds Davidson Kempner and Kennedy Wilson in 2014. As a result, the company has been selling properties. Earlier this year, it sold the Lisnagelvin retail park in Londonderry and the Showgrounds retail park in Omagh, County Tyrone. The new owner of the Fairhill invests mainly in the UK and Germany and has about 8bn euro (£5.8bn) of assets. Cordatus Real Estate will act as asset managers for the centre. Richard Bains, Rockspring partner said: "Fairhill Shopping Centre is a prime shopping centre with a strong national retailer base. "As with the other shopping centre acquisitions we have made in Taunton, Aylesbury and Leeds, this transaction is in line with the fund's strategy to source properties that will benefit from expert asset management and will, ultimately, provide long-term income streams for our investors. "This is Rockspring's first acquisition in Northern Ireland, and we are excited to be working with Cordatus who have extensive experience working in this jurisdiction." Mike Channing, director at Cordatus said: "We are delighted to be working with Rockspring on this important project. "Fairhill offers a great opportunity for added value asset management and we look forward to working closely with Rockspring to realise the full potential of the centre." The KCNA agency said on Tuesday that Mr Kim "gave field guidance" at a newly built scientists' residential district. Rodong Sinmun daily newspaper carried several photographs of Mr Kim using a walking stick as he inspected the site. The absence of the 32-year-old leader had prompted a flurry of speculation about his health. Some observers said Mr Kim could be suffering from gout or problems in his hip joint. Others even questioned if he remained in control of the state. The photographs are still pictures so it's impossible to know how easily Kim Jong-un is walking - did he walk for long, was he standing simply for the photographer? It's also impossible to tell if the stick in the pictures is an aid because of an untreated continuation of the previous ailment, or to help him after surgery. What the pictures clearly show, though, is that he is at the centre of power. One of the acolytes apparently hanging on his every word is Hwang Pyong-so, the general who led a delegation to South Korea 10 days ago. At the time, some of the more feverish speculation had it that this might signify that the military leader was actually in control. The newly-released pictures indicate that Kim Jong-un remains the top man. It may or may not be significant that the visit was to a residential complex for satellite scientists - the kind of people who work on missile technology. Official media have cited unspecified personal "discomfort" as grounds for Mr Kim's absence from public view. On Sunday, North Korea's ambassador to London told the BBC that Mr Kim was in good health. KCNA said that Mr Kim was briefed on the Wisong Scientists Residential District "before a map showing its bird's-eye view" and that he then "overlooked it". "Looking over the exterior of the apartment houses and public buildings, decorated with diverse coloured tiles, (Mr Kim) expressed great satisfaction, saying they looked very beautiful," the agency said. It also said that Mr Kim visited the newly-built Natural Energy Institute of the State Academy of Sciences. Although the news release was dated Tuesday, it did not specify on which day he made the visits. During his absence, Mr Kim missed two high-profile public events - the 10 October anniversary of the establishment of the Korean Worker's Party and the 9 September Foundation Day of the North Korean State. Analysts said they were two days in the political calendar when the leader would be expected to make an appearance. Kim Jong-un took office on the death of his father, Kim Jong-il, in December 2011 and was quickly named head of the party, state and army. In 2012 he was appointed marshal - the highest military rank - following a high-level military reshuffle. Then, in December 2013, Mr Kim purged and executed his uncle, Chang Song-thaek, who state media said had been plotting a coup. Tries from Alex Matthews, Amy Cokayne and Danielle Waterman gave the Red Roses a 15-6 lead at the break. Kaye Wilson, Emily Scarratt, Lydia Thompson and Claire Allen went over in the second half as Canada tired in their third Test in eight days. The win means England move above Canada into second place in the world rankings, a place behind New Zealand. The game took place after England men beat Argentina 27-14 at the same venue. "That was a brilliant way to end the series," England coach Simon Middleton said. "I am really pleased with the manner in which the team executed our game plan. "It is always special to come out and play at Twickenham and the girls certainly delivered a great performance, both in attack and defence. There is still a lot for us to work on, but that has given us confidence today." Flanker Marlie Packer needed lengthy treatment at the end of the match and left the field on a stretcher, but the 27-year-old later tweeted that she was "ok". England defeated Canada 21-9 in a tight 2014 World Cup final in Paris, but this contest proved very one-sided. Canada enjoyed plenty of possession and territory, particularly in the first half, but only managed to score with two Andrea Burk penalties, while England were far more ruthless with the ball. It took just eight minutes for Matthews to burst over and Cokayne soon extended the lead from a driving maul. The pick of the tries came from veteran Waterman, who ran 60 yards and brushed off several tackles before diving over in the corner. Wilson took advantage of a turnover to go over just after the break and then Scarratt made up for some poor goal-kicking to get the fifth try. Thompson pounced on an offload from replacement Packer to get her second try in as many games before Allen came off the bench to complete the rout from close range. It was a morale-boosting way for England to round off 2016 after the disappointment of losing 25-20 to New Zealand last weekend, following narrow wins over France and Ireland earlier this month. England: Waterman, Thompson, Scarratt, Burford, Wilson, Scott, Mason; Clark, Cokayne, Keates, Taylor, Millar-Mills, Matthews, Noel-Smith, Hunter. Replacements: Allan for Waterman (59), Jones for Burford (59), Hunt for Mason (40), Cornborough for Clark (47), Croker for Cokayne (59), Bern for Keates (66), Packer for Matthews (59), Cleall for Hunter (59). Canada: Zussman, Waters, Tessier, Burk, Harvey, Belchos, Guthrie; McEwen, Russell, Menin, Beukeboom, Blackwood, Russell, Paquin, Grusnick Replacements: Boag, Stamatakis, DeMerchant, Mack, Mervin, Alarie, Higgs, Rajotte. For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter. In a bid to prove to assembled reporters that he was all too aware of Sports Direct employees' daily vexations, billionaire founder Mike Ashley demonstrated a routine search procedure at the company's Shirebrook warehouse. In his pockets? A huge wad of red £50 notes - like a caricature of a 1980s tycoon. A brash, outspoken and often controversial figure, Mr Ashley is in many ways moulded by the business culture of the decade in which he founded the sports retail empire. But the charm offensive on display at this year's annual general meeting was an attempt to rebrand himself, and Sports Direct, in an image more appropriate for an age when negative publicity can hammer a firm's bottom line, as well as its reputation. The title of the main presentation was "Time To Change", and as if to emphasise this point, Mr Ashley told shareholders he "totally agrees" with Theresa May - who has pledged to give workers a greater say in corporate governance. For most of the meeting, the entrepreneur answered questions courteously, but his underlying frustrations were betrayed in a short skirmish with a Unite representative, in which he blurted: "It is probably your fault that we are in this mess". Ultimately, despite a protest vote by institutional shareholders, no heads rolled. The board, including the heavily-criticised chairman Keith Hellawell, were all re-elected, promising reforms and pleading for time to right Sports Direct's wrongs. For his part, Mike Ashley sought to emphasise the sheer size of the Sports Direct operation, repeating several times that it was "impossible to get it all right" in a warehouse that housed seven million pairs of shoes. But he appeared genuinely repentant, not avoiding difficult questions from attendees, and vowing that conditions in the site branded a "Victorian workhouse" would improve. "If the headline is 'Sorry' then so be it," he told the quote-hungry group of reporters. "Because clearly I could have done a better job." The question is: would we have been treated to the same mea culpa had the share price remained at the level it was a year ago? Mr Bercow said this week he would be "strongly opposed" to US President Donald Trump addressing Parliament, accusing him of "racism and sexism". James Duddridge said Mr Bercow had "overstepped the mark" although he did not expect his motion to be debated. The Speaker is the highest authority of the House of Commons and is expected to remain politically impartial. Who is John Bercow? Mr Duddridge told the BBC: "I've done this because Speaker Bercow for a long time has been overstepping the mark and with his comments on the state visit [of President Trump] he has clearly expressed views. "That is not the role of the Speaker, and it is impossible for him to chair debates as Speaker adjudicating on things he has expressed a view on. "I've tabled a motion to the House of Commons. I expect over the week of recess for people to be supporting that but they can't actually sign it until the first day back. "But to be frank, I think there's a very real possibility that once the level of discontent is known and Speaker Bercow sees the writing is on the wall he will go of his own accord." BBC Parliamentary correspondent Mark D'Arcy said other senior backbenchers doubt that Mr Duddridge's tactics would work. He said Mr Bercow has a reservoir of support on the backbenches - particularly among pro-Brexit Conservative backbenchers - and was seen to have enabled MPs to challenge the government far more effectively. Mr Duddridge, Conservative MP for Rochford and Southend East, had already written to the prime minister, asking for MPs to be given a free vote if there was a vote of no confidence in the Speaker. Conservative MP Alec Shelbrooke tweeted on Thursday that he disagreed with President Trump's executive order barring migrants from seven countries but added: "John Bercow has politicised the office of Speaker and his position is untenable." But fellow Conservative Claire Perry said on BBC One's Question Time: "I think for us to try and remove a speaker over something that he said would be really rather drastic. He's entitled to his opinions, perhaps he just shouldn't have addressed them on this particular issue." Meanwhile an early day motion calling for officials to withhold permission for Mr Trump to address Parliament, has now been signed by 204 MPs - largely from the Labour Party. That motion was sponsored by the Labour MP Stephen Doughty - whose point of order about it on Monday prompted Mr Bercow's initial comments. President Trump has accepted an invitation from the Queen for a state visit to the UK, which can include an address to both Houses of Parliament, later this year. However, responding to a point of order in the Commons on Monday, Mr Bercow said he was opposed to Mr Trump speaking to MPs and peers saying it was "not an automatic right", but an "earned honour", to applause from Labour and SNP MPs. He has since said it was time "to move on to other matters". In March 2015 a bid to change the rules on electing Commons speakers - which was seen by some as a bid by the Tory leadership to oust Mr Bercow - was defeated by 228 votes to 202. Mr Bercow is one of three "key holders" to Westminster Hall - where Mr Trump's predecessor Barack Obama spoke in 2011 - along with the Speaker of the House of Lords, Lord Fowler, and the Lord Great Chamberlain, a hereditary peer in charge of certain parts of the Palace of Westminster. All three must agree in order for an address to take place there. No date for Mr Trump's visit has been announced. Mr Modi, who recently said India and the Jewish state share a "deep and centuries-old" connection, is expected to agree military and cyber security deals. Observers note he will not travel to Ramallah or meet Palestinian leaders, as visiting dignitaries often do. The visit is seen by some as a turning point on India's position on Israel. Mr Modi called the visit "ground-breaking" as he was met at the airport by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. They will have dinner this evening ahead of formal talks on Wednesday. Here is what the focus will be on over the next three days: For years, Israel and India have been working closely together on counter-terrorism and defence issues and India has been a regular customer of arms from the Jewish state. Working to modernise its military to counter China and Pakistan, India is now Israel's biggest arms market, thought to be worth about $1bn (£770m) per year, according to Reuters news agency. The co-operation ranges from a jointly built air defence system to India buying drones, radar, cyber security and communication systems. Aside from defence deals, the two countries also want to expand co-operation in other areas, notably Israel helping India to improve agricultural productivity and food security. India and Israel have had diplomatic relations for 25 years. In the past however, the relationship has always been a balancing act given India's sizeable Muslim population and the country's dependence on oil imports from Arab countries and Iran. Mr Netanyahu has described Mr Modi's visit as "historic", saying it would "deepen co-operation in a wide range of fields - security, agriculture, water, energy - basically in almost every field Israel is involved in". Mr Modi is also expected to meet an Israeli boy, Moshe Holtzberg, whose parents were killed when gunmen stormed a Jewish centre in Mumbai during a 2008 terror attack. Moshe Holtzberg was saved by his Indian nanny, Sandra Samuel, who was treated as a heroine in Israel where she settled with the boy after the attack. Six Jewish people were killed at the centre, which was one of several places targeted in the attack. Israel is giving its guest the high-level red carpet treatment. Mr Netanyahu will go beyond the usual protocol of meeting visiting leaders on a few occasions during their trip. In the case of Mr Modi, he will accompany him for most of the visit, an honour usually reserved for only top level guests like the US president. Mr Netanyahu's office tweeted he would join his guest "at many events during his visit as befits the leader of the largest democracy in the world". The two are expected to visit the Israel Museum and an agricultural project together and Mr Netanyahu will attend a rally his counterpart plans for Jewish people of Indian origin living in Israel. Friday's qualifying determined Monday's first-round pairings and Huston will face Dutchman Rick Van Der Ven. The Dutchman was 27th in qualifying at the Sambadrome but he is currently seventh in the world rankings. World number one Kim Woo-jin of South Korea set a new world record of 700 in Friday's qualifying. The current world champion's total eclipsed the previous record of 699 set by his compatriot Im Dong-hyun at the London Olympics. Huston, whose performance matched his current world ranking of 38th, produced a qualifying total of 656. Minus his trademark flat cap after it fell foul of the British Olympic Association's dress code, Huston sought inspiration during Friday's competition by reading a series of motivational notes. One of his notes started, and appeared to finish, with the line:"I am the 2016 Olympic champion" and Huston said afterwards that the idea was inspired by the ormer Olympic shooter and now sports psychologist Lanny Bassham. Bassham created his "Mental Management System" after falling short in the 1972 Games in Munich and went on the gold medal in Montreal four years later as well as 22 world titles. Huston said: "I would not have got my Olympic place if I had not followed Lanny Bassham's system. "One of its tenets is the more you think and write about something the more likely it is to happen, so one of the things to do is write directive affirmations. "I have notes pasted up on my wall in the Olympic Village and it is just something to inspire me and keep me focused." Huston said his performance on Friday "wasn't the target I had set myself" but insisted that he remained optimistic for the knockout stages. "When I get to the proper stadium with the crowds cheering all around me, the pressure of that will make me perform," said the Belfast archer. The 23-year-old is not alone in experiencing negative attitudes towards mental health. A report from youth charity YMCA, released on Monday to coincide with World Mental Health Day, has found that more than one in three young people with mental health issues have suffered stigma. Connie was feeling numb and "out of touch with reality" when her boss even suggested she wear more make-up to her job working for a high street retailer. "It made everything a thousand times worse. It made it so much harder to go into work," Connie said. "Not only did I have the worry of everything that was going on, I then had on top of that 'I'm going to get in trouble with my job'. "The worse thing is she was aware of my disorder so why would you say that to someone who had self-esteem issues? "In the workplace there is very little knowledge of mental health." Connie, from Brighton, struggled with bulimia for four years and found it difficult to ask friends for help or support. Those with the condition often try to control their weight by restricting their food, then binge eating and purging the food from their body. Connie also experienced depression and anxiety linked to her eating disorder. She recalls hearing friends laughing about those with bulimia and when she confided in one about her disorder she was told "you look fine". Connie said: "I didn't want to come forward because there was so much shame surrounding it. "Particularly when I was at school, there was so much judgement I couldn't face from even teachers or friends. "It's a really shameful thing to have. It's very secretive. You don't want people to know you're throwing up because people think it's grim. "My disorder was never really visible. I was never really under or overweight, I looked completely normal. "I would get 'you look fine so what's the problem?', that would be people's reaction. People react in a way that they don't believe you. They just brushed it under the carpet. "It's like a double isolation. You're trapped in your own eating disorder but then you're trapped with people because you feel like you can't go to them." The YMCA spoke to more than 2,000 11 to 24-year-olds in England and Wales, around half of whom had experienced mental health issues, as part of its I Am Whole report. The charity found 38% of those with mental health difficulties had been stigmatised. Young people reported being left out of activities, experiencing verbal abuse and suffering from damaged confidence as a result. Of those, a third found it happened at least once a week and 54% said it came from their own friends. More than half said it made them less willing to access professional support for their mental health difficulties and 70% were less likely to speak about their problems. Connie sought help after confiding in a concerned friend who urged her to ask for support from her GP. She attended counselling and support groups through the Brighton and Hove Eating Disorder Service as part of her two-year recovery. Connie said group therapy was the best method to help her get better as it "made her feel less alone". She urges those with mental health issues not to see it as "shameful" and said the first step to recovery is asking for help. "It's 100% not a shameful thing, it's something that goes wrong in your brain," Connie said. "The hardest part is making that first move to speak about it. Once you've done that you can see a light at the end of the tunnel. "I thought before I sought any help there was no way I was going to get better. There was no doubt in my mind it was hopeless. "I have recovered and even if it's something you have to manage, it is so much better when you're getting help." The YMCA said there needs to be more awareness surrounding mental health in young people. It is supporting a NHS campaign aimed at reducing stigma and normalising mental health difficulties among young people. It wants the public to challenge the "harmful language" used to describe mental health conditions and encourage those experiencing problems to ask for support. It also believes professionals working with young people should be provided with mental health training. Denise Hatton, chief executive of YMCA England, said: "What is alarming from these findings is the widespread stigma young people are now seeing or experiencing from others that is making them less likely to seek professional help. "YMCA's mental health services make a huge difference to the lives of young people with mental health difficulties but it is clear more needs to be done to support those who are currently slipping through the net."

The government body in charge of reparations - the Unit for Attention and Reparation of Victims - says it has compensated more than 360,000 people. Director Paula Gaviria tells the BBC the victims are "at the centre" of the government's peace plan. She says there are more than six million registered victims in total. Referring to the much derided demobilisation in 2005 of Colombia's rightwing paramilitaries - many of whom went on to join criminal gangs and continued terrorising the local population - Ms Gaviria says Colombia has learned from past mistakes that the victims have to have a voice in any peace process. The government is currently holding peace talks with Colombia's largest left-wing rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc), and has agreed to enter into talks with the second largest group, the National Liberation Army (ELN). It has, however, refused to enter into a truce with either group and confrontations between the security forces and the rebels continue even as talks with the Farc are under way in Havana, Cuba. Ms Gaviria tells the BBC during a visit to London that Colombia is unique in starting the process of victim reparation while the conflict is still raging. Created as part of the Victims' Law passed by the Colombian Congress in 2011, the unit aims to compensate victims of the country's long-running civil conflict and return land to millions of displaced people. Of the 6.2 million registered victims, more than five million are internally displaced. While the state aims to return as many of them who so wish to their places of origin, this has not always been possible. Their security cannot always be guaranteed, especially in areas where armed groups still hold sway. What is more, with confrontations between the armed forces and rebels continuing, there have been new displacements. Last week, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned that almost 700 people had been displaced by fighting in Guapi, in southern Cauca province in the space of a fortnight. But Ms Gaviria maintains that even though people are still falling victim to the armed groups, starting the process of reparation and land restitution early was key to the peace process. "It's a chance we took," she says. "I don't think there was another way, the victims could not wait any longer," she says. "I don't think the idea of holding peace talks would have had any traction if the Victims' Law hadn't been passed first," she adds. According to Ms Gaviria, the Victims' Law and the creation of the Victims' Unit was a "down payment on peace", demonstrating the government's commitment to the victims of the armed conflict. Figures released by the Victims' Unit suggest more than half of the internally displaced people have been granted humanitarian aid to help improve their conditions wherever they are currently living. Ms Gaviria says the state aims to fulfil its duty to protect all Colombians, especially those who have already been displaced. But she thinks that while the conflict is still ongoing, the number of those who have returned to their homes cannot be used as an indicator for the success of the restitution programme. "If the conditions for a safe return are not present, the state cannot send these people back." But she says that while reparation payments and land restitution are an integral part of the programme, for many victims official recognition is often worth more than financial compensation. She says that victims of sexual violence in particular often say they personally gain more from the psychological support the state offers. "Many are also joining a programme which encourages victims of sexual violence to approach other victims and help them overcome that barrier of fear which prevents them from reporting what happened to them." "Of course they also have a right to compensation payments, but many say they have found helping others more rewarding." So far, more than 360,000 victims have been paid compensation, and Ms Gaviria thinks the state is on track for compensating all registered victims by 2021 - within the 10-year timeframe it had set itself when it passed the Victims' Law. With the conflict not yet over, she admits more people could fall victim to the violence, thereby further driving up the numbers. But Ms Gaviria is confident the political will to compensate all victims of the country's five-decades-long conflict is unshakeable. "It's a policy for and of all Colombians, for and of all victims, and that's what will guarantee it's successful," she says. Stevens, 26, completed a move to Championship-bound Sheffield United on Monday after two seasons at Pompey. "The manager (Paul Cook) has a lot of experience of taking clubs up from League Two to League One," the left-back told BBC Radio Solent. "He always lets the players make mistakes and express themselves." Stevens has signed a three-year contract with Sheffield United and the former Aston Villa defender will join the Blades after his two-year deal at Fratton Park expired. Having missed just one game all season, he helped Portsmouth to the League Two title on the final day of the season. "Ending on a high was obviously the best way I could have left the club," he said. "It was a difficult decision to leave as I enjoyed myself so much, I enjoyed living in the area and the club is a massive and great one to play for. "But, I felt the opportunity to play in the Championship was one I couldn't pass up. It's exciting to go to a club that got 100 points in League One this season. "It's going to be tough to get in the side, but it's up to me to work hard to make it happen." A man entered the Esso garage in Broomloan Road, Ibrox, at about 05:30 and threatened the male member of staff with a knife and demanded money. He ran off with a three-figure sum of cash. He was white and was wearing a blue jacket with a red scarf, blue jeans, white trainers and an orange baseball cap. The member of staff was uninjured but shaken as a result of the robbery. Det Sgt Peter Sharp said: "Inquiries are ongoing in the local area to trace the man responsible. "I would urge anyone who saw anyone acting suspiciously near the garage early this morning to contact the robbery unit at Pollok Police Office through 101."

Scientists have captured the moment when this Great White shark attacked an underwater robo-cam.

Zeid Raad Al Hussein condemned "the repeated failure" of the coalition to prevent deadly incidents. He said air strikes had caused almost all the coalition's civilian casualties. More than 6,000 people, about half of them civilians, have been killed since Saudi Arabia launched a multi-national campaign against rebels in March 2015. Saudi Arabia has denied causing large-scale civilian deaths, saying it is making every effort to avoid hitting civilian targets. Mr Hussein's comments come three days after some 106 civilians were killed in what medics and witnesses said was an air strike on a market in Mastaba, north-west Yemen, in one of the deadliest incidents of the war. The UN said staff who had visited the scene of the attack said, apart from a check-point about 250 metres (820 ft) away, there was no evidence it was a military target. "Looking at the figures, it would seem that the coalition is responsible for twice as many civilian casualties as all other forces put together, virtually all as a result of air strikes," Mr Hussein said. "They have hit markets, hospitals, clinics, schools, factories, wedding parties - and hundreds of private residences in villages, towns and cities including the capital, Sanaa." "Despite plenty of international demarches, these awful incidents continue to occur with unacceptable regularity." Saudi Arabia said it was investigating the attack on Mastaba, adding its forces had targeted a "gathering area" for Houthi rebel fighters about six miles (10km) away. Zeid Raad Al Hussein however said coalition forces appeared not to have taken proper steps to distinguish between military and civilian targets, adding both they and the rebels might have committed "international crimes". On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia's chief military spokesman, Brig Gen Ahmad al-Assiri, said the military campaign was "in the end of the major combat phase". The coalition launched its offensive last March with the aim of repelling the rebels and restoring exiled President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to power. The only points available for public use are along the M4 in south Wales and the A55 in the north. Shadow Economy Secretary Russell George said ministers needed to recognise that funding help is needed. The Welsh Government said it is committed to helping the low carbon vehicle sector grow in Wales. Latest figures show the number of electric cars in Wales has increased significantly in recent years. There were 1,725 fully electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles on Welsh roads from July to September 2016 according to official vehicle records, compared to just 70 during the same period in 2012. But campaigners believe more progress on low-emission vehicles is being hampered by the charge-point infrastructure. Back in 2015, a report by a group of experts appointed by Welsh Government made a string of recommendations, including installing charging points at all government premises and encouraging local authorities to do the same. Russell George, the Conservative assembly member for Montgomeryshire said it was now time for Welsh Government to act on the report's findings. "The trouble is it's a chicken and egg situation - people want to use electric vehicles but they can't because the infrastructure's not there - and the infrastructure's not going to be built until the demand is there," he said. "I would like to see government recognising that it does need some grant and funding support for this - in order for anyone in Wales to make sufficient use of electric vehicles you've got to have charging points in rural areas as well." Richard Burrows, who runs a plumbing and heating supplies business in Newtown, Powys, said he found it "very difficult" to travel long distances in his electric van. He bought the vehicle to try and reduce his overheads, but is now questioning whether it is a viable alternative to his old diesel model. "I think Wales has been a bit slow to adopt electric vehicles, unlike England and Scotland where lots of local councils have got on board," he said. "Here, the top and bottom of the country are covered in terms of charging points, but throughout the middle it's very difficult to go anywhere." Mr Burrows has now installed his own medium-strength 7kW charger at his premises, which allows him to charge the van in about four hours. A rapid charger could do the same job in around 20 minutes. "A big difference," adds Mr Burrows. Professor Peter Wells of Cardiff Business School said that more rapid charging points could make electric car use "a default, no worry option" for people. "The government can't do everything - they haven't got the resources simply to but a lot of infrastructure and put it in place. But I think government has to do its best to provide a framework, to provide a regulatory target and to encourage local authorities and those within the whole government system in Wales to really get behind this idea and support it." One organisation that is trying to improve the network of charging points in rural Wales is the National Trust, which has installed just under 40 slow and medium-strength chargers at its properties in Wales. It has plans to install a further 30 over the next 18 months. Keith Jones, environmental adviser for the National Trust, said it made environmental and business sense, with visitors spending time at the charity's properties as they waited for their cars to charge up. "I think we need to look at ourselves as a country and ask what will ten years look like and what do we need to put in place. At the moment this is still a cottage industry - it's not at the infrastructure level." "Some grown up chats need to take place." A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We are committed to exploring opportunities to reduce emissions from transport and maximise the low carbon vehicle sector's opportunities for growth and jobs in Wales. "We are considering the recommendations of the Low Carbon Vehicle Expert Steering Group in the wider context of our decarbonisation duties under the Environment (Wales) Act." The rights group says the most deadly incident happened in Bahir Dar, where at least 30 people died on Sunday. The authorities have said seven died in Bahir Dar and that security forces were reacting to violence from protesters. There has been an unprecedented wave of protests in Ethiopia in recent months. People in the Oromo and Amhara regions have been complaining about political and economic marginalisation. Amnesty says that 67 people died when "security forces fired live bullets at peaceful protesters" in different towns and cities in the Oromo region over the weekend. There were clashes between security forces and protesters on Sunday in Bahir Dar, the Amhara regional capital. Opposition activists have given similar figures for the number of people killed. The government has blamed "nearby and distant foreign enemies and social media activists" for defying warnings about holding unauthorised protests, the government-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate (FBC) reports. The authorities have said that the demonstrators were destroying government and private property and "inflicting deaths on innocent citizens" and arrests were made as people were trying to spread the violence, FBC adds. The United States, a close ally of the government, said it was "deeply concerned" by the violence and said the people's rights to demonstrate should be respected. The unrest was sparked last November by a plan to expand the capital into Oromia. This led to fears farmers from the Oromo ethnic group, the largest in Ethiopia, would be displaced. The plan was later dropped but protests continued, highlighting issues such as marginalisation and human rights. New York-based Human Rights Watch says that more than 400 people have been killed in clashes with the security forces since protests began. The government has disputed this figure. The Amharas are Ethiopia's second biggest ethnic group and used to form the country's elite. He is alleged to have broken rules about notifying authorities ahead of laying off workers at a warehouse. Sports Direct declined to comment. The government's Insolvency Service said: "We can confirm that criminal proceedings have been commenced against David Michael Forsey." "He is charged with an offence contrary to section 194 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. We will not be commenting until the criminal proceedings have been concluded," said the Insolvency Service. Chesterfield Magistrates Court is due to hear the case on 14 October and the maximum penalty for the offence is £5,000. Earlier this year, Parliament investigated how Sports Direct laid off 83 staff at the USC distribution depot in South Ayrshire. Almost immediately after it went into administration, the fashion retailer was bought by another part of Sports Direct, through a so-called pre-pack administration. It is now trading again, but with less debt, according to the committee, which met in March. Keith Hellawell, the company's chairman, told the Parliamentary committee he and the board had not known anything about the collapse of USC until the day before it folded. But, he said, Mr Forsey had begun "consulting" with administrators Duff and Phelps as early as 14 November. Dr Hellawell insisted the firm "didn't want" USC to fold. Workers were given even less notice, 15 minutes, before they heard they had lost their jobs, the committee was told. The Owls took the lead when Steven Fletcher's shot from outside the box took a deflection and found the left-hand corner of Jason Steele's goal. Marvin Emnes could have equalised for Rovers before half-time, but his shot was saved by Keiren Westwood. Emnes did put the ball into the net in the second half, but the goal was ruled out for offside. Kieran Lee also had a chance to double the visitors' lead late on after being played through by Barry Bannan, but his shot was saved by Steele. The result means Wednesday have now won four of their past five league games, having ended a run of seven away fixtures without a win going back to last season. Blackburn mustered only two shots on target as they slumped back into the relegation zone with eight points from their opening 10 league matches under manager Owen Coyle.

Rooney, 31, has had his future questioned by several newspapers after being dropped from the starting line-up by Jose Mourinho. "He is a great player, and he has still not finished his career," said Koeman. Mourinho, however, has insisted that Rooney - currently three goals shy of being the club's leading goalscorer - is part of his plans. Koeman added: "I do not know how his situation is, and I need to respect that situation. That's not my problem. "But even when we get one time the possibility that Rooney is an option for Everton, I'm very pleased." Rooney joined United from Everton for £27m in 2004, since when he has scored 246 goals in 532 games for the club. City were in front inside three minutes as keeper Jason Steele brought down David Cotterill and Lukas Jutkiewicz converted the penalty. Rovers levelled in first-half stoppage time when Danny Graham swept in from 10 yards after Derrick Williams' cut-back. Both sides had chances to win it, but Sam Gallagher fired over and Jason Steele superbly denied Ryan Shotton. The visitors could not have wished for a better start, with Jutkiewicz's spot-kick conversion meaning he has now scored four of his side's five goals since Zola took charge. And Birmingham would have been two goals up had Steele not partially atoned for his penalty concession by saving well from Cotterill. Rovers gradually began to get back into the game and Hope Akpan saw his header saved at the second attempt by Tomasz Kuszczak. Graham should have scored on the stroke of half-time when he headed wide from eight yards but almost immediately found the net for his 11th of the season after a fine Blackburn move. Blues lost keeper Kusczak at half-time because of blurred vision but both sides showed plenty of appetite to find a winner in the second half. Jutkiewicz was relieved to see an offside flag after missing a sitter and Akpan blasted too high for Rovers, but both teams had to settle for a point in the end. The Blues have now failed to win any of Zola's first eight games in charge, while Blackburn remain in the Championship relegation places. Blackburn manager Owen Coyle: "It's not the start anybody envisaged. I think it's such an avoidable penalty to give away and, of course, that plays into Birmingham's hands. "At 10 minutes in, given we'd started with two strikers, we had to change to match up. From that point on, we dominated the game and really took charge of it. "The equaliser was no more than we deserved at that point and in the second half we were the aggressors again, but always accepting Birmingham would be dangerous on the counter attack." Birmingham manager Gianfranco Zola: "I'm disappointed because I think we created our own problems. We went one up, were in total control, had a great chance to get the second goal and then we stopped. "We started making silly mistakes in the passing - something that has been very good so far. We stopped and we allowed them to come back. We fed their confidence by making those silly choices. "Then it's been an open game in the second half. They had one good chance and we had two great chances. The disappointing thing for me is we let them come off the hook." Match ends, Blackburn Rovers 1, Birmingham City 1.

The points have been removed from the club's total with immediate effect, meaning they drop outside the Super League play-off positions. Bradford now sit in ninth position, two points below Hull KR, who occupy the final play-off berth. A consortium submitted a conditional bid for the Bulls last week and this was passed to the RFL on Tuesday. The six-point penalty is two points more than Wakefield and Crusaders were given when they went into administration and is the largest the RFL could have handed out. Bulls interim chief executive Gary Tasker said: "We expected a deduction of points by the RFL and we of course accept that penalty. We are not yet in a position to be able to offer any recompense to our creditors and as such a six-point deduction was what we expected. "We are still in the competition and a place in the top eight - and with it the ability to make the play-offs - is still within our grasp and we will be travelling to Warrington on Sunday in a confident and determined mood." Centre Chev Walker responded to the news of the points deduction by tweeting: "6 points of hard work on the field taken because of sloppy work off it!! Play-offs are still in reach long as we get our heads down." Administrator Brendan Guilfoyle revealed last week that the bid put forward by the consortium would be conditional on the Bulls being allowed to continue in Super League and lease back Odsal, which is owned by the RFL. "The best the RFL will get is a conditional bid," he told BBC Look North. "The consortium I'm dealing with won't move forward with the club in the second tier. It would be a totally different business model. "If this bid isn't accepted by them then this club will cease to exist and I will have failed." Bradford Bulls entered administration on 26 June after attempts to raise £1m to keep the club running were unsuccessful. Hundreds of people had to leave their homes after officers were alerted to a suspicious car in Fishponds at about 04:00 BST on Saturday. A bomb disposal team carried out a number of controlled explosions on the car. No explosives were found but the car had been "doused in fuel". Avon and Somerset Police said the man was in custody for questioning. A police spokesman said they were "continuing to support the local community" and said 13 police cadets had taken part in "reassurance foot patrols" in the Cassell Road area on Wednesday. The footage begins just after 18:36 local time on Monday 17 August. All timings have been adjusted by Thai police to account for discrepancies in the clocks of individual cameras, so the timestamp on the image may differ from the time given by police. Thai police say this image shows the tuk-tuk (largely obscured) doing a U-turn and pulling up outside the hotel, near the shrine. 18.37.12: Tuk-tuk parks and suspect gets out 18.37.35: Suspect gets backpack out of tuk-tuk Twelve minutes follow in which the suspect is not caught on CCTV. The young man is wearing a yellow T-shirt and glasses, and carrying a backpack. Several cameras track his journey after he leaves the shrine, retracing his steps along the front of the Hyatt Hotel before travelling on the back of a motorcycle. This is 30 seconds' walk from the previous CCTV image showing him at the Hyatt, but more than a minute later, suggesting he paused around the time the bomb went off. Police believe he picked up the bike at Soi Mahatlek Luang 1. Timecode adjustment may be wrong for this image. After this image police lose track of the suspect. Some 40,000 people have been affected by the torrential rain and several hundred left homeless. The authorities in the state of Rio Grande do Sul have declared a state of emergency in seven cities. Among the dead were seven family members whose homes in the town of Igrejinha were buried by a landslide. Other victims included three children who died when their house in Novo Hamburgo was engulfed by mud. Rescue workers have been evacuating areas thought to be at risk from landslips. There was also flooding in and near Porto Alegre, the state capital of Rio Grande do Sul, which suffered power cuts. Drier weather is forecast for the next few days but more rain is likely towards the end of the week. Fifa said it had evidence that Camila Maria do Carmo Nobre de Oliveira used two passports with different birth dates and two birth certificates showing different parental information. De Oliveira played in the preliminary competition of the 2016 Olympics. Equatorial Guinea Football Association has been fined £28,000 and the player banned for 10 matches. De Oliveira has also been fined £1475. Fifa says it is investigating the eligibility of several other players on Equatorial Guinea's team. On Sunday, Equatorial Guinea booked their place in the finals of this year's women's Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon after a 2-1 win over Mali in Malabo. The result took them through 3-2 on aggregate. The snooker supremo, Matchroom Sport mogul and boxing promoter-turned-Leyton Orient chairman, claims to be the "best in the world" at what he does. Since his return to his first sporting love nearly four years ago, even his harshest critic would struggle to argue that Hearn has not made a significant impact. At the time, Hearn said snooker was in desperate need of salvation. "It was much too cosy," he told BBC Sport. "It was dying, it was dormant, it was moribund. "It was a part-time sport and in today's world you can't be a part-time sport. "When I took it over I said I would blow it up and start again and that is effectively what we have done - and it's working. "To me, the opportunities were so obvious and crystal clear that the job was easy. This is what I do for living. I have done it for 40 years and I think I am the best in the world at what I do. "It has been fantastic. When I looked at it four years ago I saw a sport where the management was non-existent, and everyone was going through the motions built around a BBC contract. They had settled for a slow decline." Slow decline was never going to lie comfortably with Hearn and the progress has been clear. Snooker is once again enjoying something of a boom period. Much of that is down to the the sport's new-found worldwide appeal - which has tapped into the explosion of interest in China, India, parts of Europe and other destinations around the world. "The globalisation is the biggest success without a doubt," Hearn added. "We all knew China was going to be big and we have made it bigger. We thought we should have an event in Australasia and we did. We thought we should try South America and we did - and we may return there. "We think the biggest breakthrough is potentially the Indian Open. The Indian sub-continent is a massive potential market for us. "The overseas audience is bringing new players to the table. "We haven't got a major event in the Middle East at the moment, so is that the next one? "India has gone really well. Do they just want one a year? China is a massive market but we can't be complacent. We will be more a global sport." Television and online "exploitation" has meant the prize money has more than doubled from £3m to more than £7m. "In a recession market. It is difficult to criticise," Hearn said. The snooker calendar is also stacked to such an extent that players now pick and choose events. Current world number nine Mark Allen warned that travel expenses could decimate player numbers, while there has even been talk of snooker burnout, with world number two Mark Selby blaming his early exit from this year's World Championship on fatigue. Former world champion Peter Ebdon was against Hearn's takeover of the sport from the start. And snooker's biggest draw and current world champion, Ronnie O'Sullivan, pulled out of the 2012-13 season because of "personal issues" after previously refusing to sign World Snooker's official players' contract earlier in 2012 because he felt it was "too onerous". Hearn gives the dissenting voices short shrift. The UK Championship's new format is the perfect example of what he believes is the right way forward. The tournament at York's Barbican Theatre features 128 players in the first round, with the top seed playing the number 128 and so on. No longer are the world's top 16 guaranteed places in the latter stages of most ranking events. "It's one of those opportunities in the 'Brave New Aldous Huxley World of Snooker' where ability is the only criteria and you find out how good you are," Hearn said. "Players will only ever look at a system and ask the question 'How does this affect me?' That is a natural reaction from human beings - selfish, but natural. "My responsibility is to ask how will it affect the game. This is competition in its purest sense. It is absolutely on merit, on the day. "The fascinating thing will be round one. Of the top 64 seeds in the world, playing the next 64 in the world, how many upsets will we get and how many people will grasp the opportunity? "Then you really see who you are dealing with and who is the best." Hearn expects 10-16 shocks in the first round at "top whack". But says surprises and a shake-up are exactly what was needed. "The old system was so protective of the top players," the 65-year-old said. "They were guaranteed a certain amount of money and ranking points. To my mind life is not about guarantees, and sport is not about guarantees. It is about the unexpected. "This system is so brutally fair that it will cause some ripples - and that's what I want to do." The ripples have been felt. But most appear to have slowly warmed to the new regime. The financial rewards have clearly helped appease some of those who doubted. Hearn knows he cannot please everyone but, unsurprisingly, he does not care anyway. "Sport is about giving players opportunities, it's not about giving them money," he explained. Money talks: "Sport is about money. All the glories are down the road. Initially it is all about cash. How do you get the top players? Easy. Push the money up. If you want the top players in golf, snooker and tennis you have to come up with the top prize money and if you don't you get what is left." Winning the player battle: "Life's tough but the rewards are great. In any industry where the rewards are good it comes at a price. The players have to trust me and I think I have won over the trust of most of them." Overkill: "There is always a danger of overkill and I think I did it myself in the late 1980s and 90s. We learnt from it. It wasn't a colossal mistake, but I am aware of it much more now. You have to make sure the product is at a premium. If you supply more than the demand you will devalue the product." The 1985 World Championship final: "Our global audience is at a level we have never seen before but people get parochial and say 'When are you going to get 18m again on the BBC?' (viewing figures for Steve Davis v Dennis Taylor). Answer? Never. The world has changed and we have to change with it." "If they are good enough to take their opportunity they deserve the money they win. First-round losers get nothing, no matter who you are. "They either improve or they get another job. I have no sympathy with them. Once I give them the opportunity, my job is over. "There will always be a few because their life has changed. It's not peaceful and getting yourself ready for a tournament every two or three months. If they are not prepared to join me, get off at the next stop." Hearn has no intention of slowing down just yet. A "bloody nuisance" of an Achilles injury sustained in the gym may have hindered his movement and temporarily scuppered his own golfing exploits, but nothing seems to have affected his passion for what he does in the 31 years since Matchroom was a tiny operation run out of a small office in Romford and he had his hands on everything. He has learned to let go a little bit. Son Eddie is now the main man for Matchroom's boxing arm, and Hearn says it is an interesting adjustment. "It's tough to let go," he admitted. "But when you appoint someone to manage, you have to let them manage. "My son is a better promoter than me, though I would never tell him, but it does not stop me having my opinions. "I have opinions about football, but if [Orient manager] Russell Slade started being influenced by my opinions, I would sack him. And the same with Eddie." Hearn is still involved in the boxing as well as darts, and with his boyhood football team. Even ping pong got the Hearn treatment in January. He has not finished with snooker yet either. "We are a class sport and I think we provide entertainment, but we have not exploited ourselves properly," he said. "That has changed massively but there is still more change to come. "The world has changed and we have to change with it. The answer is to push on and be as big as you can be. We are on that way." Hearn believes he will know when he is no longer the man to lead from the front and it is time to completely relinquish control. "In my dotage, they still give me a free ticket," he added. "One day my son will probably charge me. Then I will know the end of the empire is nigh." The HGV went down the embankment on the A82 at Stuckgowan in the early hours of Friday morning. Police Scotland said the driver was uninjured in the incident. Traffic was queued between Tarbet and Stuckgowan throughout Friday while the rear of the lorry continued to block one carriageway. Witnesses said the cab was stopped from entering the loch by a tree, about 3ft from the water's edge. Temporary traffic lights have been put in place to manage Easter traffic on the popular bank holiday route. The HGV is due to be removed early on Saturday morning when both carriageways will need to be closed. Eddie Ross of BEAR Scotland said: "Roads are busier due to the Bank Holiday weekend. Rather than close the road to recover the vehicle, Police Scotland have arranged for temporary traffic lights to remain in place. "We've made the area around the HGV safe for road users to get past until full recovery can be arranged." The actor, who has been in the BBC One soap since 2012, has already filmed his last scenes as Danny Pennant. A spokesperson for the drama said: "We can confirm that Gary is leaving EastEnders later this year and we wish him all the best for the future." The actor, who rose to fame in the Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, went on Twitter to thank his fans. "Thank you for your messages loved my time @Ee interesting character with lots of scope see u later rather than good bye ;-) ps more 2 come," he wrote. The Essex actor was responding to fans who were tweeting about his exit from EastEnders but mistakenly included the Twitter handle for telecommunications company EE. Danny Pennant is a bisexual character who has had relationships with both men and women in the programme. In December an episode which saw him kiss another male character, Johnny Carter, drew a small number of complaints from viewers. At the time, EastEnders writer Pete Lawson tweeted: "2014, and gay teens kissing on a soap still draws complaints. Makes me even prouder to have written that ep." Lucy, 32, featured in the final series of Dancing on Ice. However, he was knocked out of the ITV competition in the second week. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter A walkway at Birnbeck Pier, in Weston-super-Mare, collapsed into the Bristol Channel, the Birnbeck Regeneration Trust said. The structure is among the 10 most endangered buildings on a list compiled by the Victorian Society. The Grade II*-listed pier shut in 1994 and has since fallen into a state of disrepair. Heidi Griffin from the trust said the north jetty "could not be saved" and its collapse was "nothing we weren't expecting". "Obviously with the weather we've had recently, we knew that the likelihood of it falling away was quite likely," she said. She added she was confident much of the rest of the structure could remain intact, saying the "Victorians knew what they were doing" when it came to building piers. But she also said a Heritage Lottery Fund bid, which is currently being prepared, would be the last chance to save the pier. Actor Timothy West recently visited the pier and said it would be "a significant loss" if it collapsed. West said it was a "beautiful piece of engineering" and needed to be saved. Source: Birnbeck Pier history They've got used to the logistical and political bottleneck around London airport expansion. So their eyes are on the prize of a direct link with China. That became a much closer prospect on Tuesday, with an agreement between the Westminster and Beijing governments to liberalise direct air links. No longer will there be a limit of six airport destinations in each country. The number of flights could double under the new agreement. China would be a symbolic breakthrough for Scottish airports competing for new routes in the evolving air travel market. It shows that wide-bodied planes, such as the Boeing 777, can economically replace the 'Hub and Spoke' model of mega-airports by scheduling direct flights. The ambition of leaping across continents has already been realised with a weekly chartered link between Scotland and Korea. You can now fly directly from Edinburgh or Glasgow to Istanbul, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and several North American airports. On Tuesday, Edinburgh Airport announced September international passenger figures up 21% on the same month in 2015. Unusually, that's while domestic traffic fell 2%. It is crediting new routes started since last year to Helsinki with Finn Air, with Vueling to Rome, Paris and Alicante, on 11 mainly sun-bound routes with Jet2, Wow Air to Reyjkavik, easyjet to Stuttgart, Vienna and Venice, and Ryanair to Copenhagen. In Glasgow, the September figures saw 4% growth, slowing a bit with equal levels of growth for domestic and international. It reported 12% growth on travel to and from EU destinations, including Paris, Brussels, Milan, Barcelona and a new link with Sofia in Bulgaria. Indeed, growth is now so strong for these airports that those of an environmental frame of mind might wonder whether it is really necessary to cut Air Passenger Duty in half, as the Scottish government aims to do. However, under the same ownership as Glasgow, Aberdeen Airport completed the monthly passenger picture, and with a now-familiar tale of decline. The oil and gas sector's woes have taken passenger numbers down 15% on September last year, with domestic and helicopter traffic falling faster than international. Management at Dyce is pinning its hopes on more leisure travel, with links to Latvia and Ryanair returning from February, with tourist routes to sunnier prospects. If the increased links, particularly the long-haul ones from Edinburgh and Glasgow, can reduce the short-haul flights to feed the big planes in big airports, then that could have a (relatively) positive environmental impact. They may, crucially, appeal more to inbound travellers, who don't want the hassle and delay of hubs. And that may be the longer game for Scottish transport links than getting involved in the dog-fights around the crowded political skies over Heathrow and Gatwick. The failure to choose how and where to expand London's airports can be viewed as another symbol, this time of Britain's failure to plan long-term and take difficult decisions. The Scottish government has long taken the position that it doesn't care which airport expands, so long as one of them does. Ministers have been heavily lobbied to back Heathrow or Gatwick, but have avoided taking sides. So at first sight, the announcement this week that they're backing Heathrow seems an odd one. If they want to influence the outcome, why wait years, until a week or so before a decision is made by UK ministers? The answer from economy minister Keith Brown is that they have a deal with Heathrow which would help the Scottish economy. Understanding this deal requires a bit of context. There's little in it that Heathrow had not offered long ago. It not only has to promise links with Scottish airports, once capacity has been increased. The whole 'hub and spoke' airport business model requires that to happen. As it is, Heathrow is at risk of becoming all hub and not much spoke. The claims of adding 16,000 jobs - as I've noted when Heathrow came a-wooing last year - is based on a very long-range economic forecast, which suggests Scotland might get there by 2050. And the idea of Prestwick could become a logistical centre for building a runway 400 miles away? Well, let's politely note that there's to be an "investigation into the potential" of that. If it stacks up to anything, it's hardly likely to be the elusive game-changer for the Scottish government's loss-making Ayrshire airfield. This memorandum of understanding was with the managers of Heathrow. What is less clear is the detail of the understanding with the UK government, but we could assume that there is one. The publicly stated deal doesn't look worth the level of political commitment. As Keith Brown indicated on the BBC's 'Scotland 2016', he expects that the government funding for airport expansion is going to see a share of capital spending allocated to Holyrood under the Barnett Formula. As a national asset with those spin-off effects on the whole UK economy, that wasn't guaranteed. And whatever else is in the mix, the pledge of SNP support for Heathrow's expansion looks like it's been choreographed to precede the Downing Street decision. Theresa May can now face down her own Westminster colleagues, including the Heathrow-sceptic Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. She can tell them that lots of them can rebel over Heathrow's expansion, but the prime minister now has 56 SNP votes going through the Heathrow lobby with her. With the politics of Westminster increasingly fractured and unpredictable, this may be a sign of things to come, with policy decided by new and shifting alliances. The same sort of deal could be done on high-speed rail, if MPs from the Tory shires threaten to block it. And if the Tory party can't agree on how to go about Brexit? Well, the SNP group is sitting there with those 56 votes, should the prime minister choose to change tack and take the softer, more Europhile route. The poll was billed as a reflection of the country's political climate after last month's terror attacks in Paris. Mr Hollande's approval ratings improved significantly as a result of his handling of the crisis. However, the Socialist candidate at the by-election in Doubs, eastern France, won by less than three points. Frederic Barbier, who won 51.4% of the vote, said his victory over Sophie Montel had been helped in part by the "perfect" response of France's leaders to the terror attacks. However. the narrow margin of his triumph led Ms Montel to say the National Front was the election's "big winner". The poll was triggered by the resignation of the sitting Socialist MP. Reflecting its importance in the minds of French leaders, both the country's prime minister and interior minister travelled to the constituency to help campaign for Mr Barbier. In his victory speech, Mr Barbier said the win could be a "turning point" for Mr Hollande. According to one opinion poll, the French president saw his popularity rating double to 40% in the days after the terror attacks which began on 7 January with the massacre of staff at the office of Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in the French capital. However another survey published in a national newspaper on Sunday suggested two-thirds of French people still thought Mr Hollande a "bad president". Amid reports that one or both of the women - Michaella McCollum and Melissa Reid - are set to admit trying to smuggle the drugs found in their luggage, the BBC has been told that for every person successfully stopped carrying narcotics at Lima's international airport, many more get through undetected. Ms McCollum, from Dungannon in Northern Ireland, and Ms Reid, of Lenzie near Glasgow, have been in a Lima jail since their arrest in early August. Both are just 20 years old and still face several years in Peruvian custody, even if they are eventually given reduced sentences under any plea bargain. Not only does the case against them look strong, even according to some of their supporters, but admitting the charges might be their best chance of a transfer to a less harsh prison and the possibility of parole after three or four years of their sentence. Initially the young women, who had travelled to Peru from Ibiza where they had been working over the summer, said they had been coerced and threatened into carrying several blocks of pure cocaine hidden in food packaging. That version of events has now changed and, like more than 140 other "mules" arrested at Lima airport this year, the women must await their fate. Peru is the world's largest source of raw coca and "pasta base" from which cocaine is eventually produced. How that is exported has changed subtly over the years, says Ricardo Soberon, who quit his post as Peru's drugs tsar after falling out with the government over the direction and effectiveness of the so-called war on drugs. Although there are still spectacularly large shipments of narcotics by sea and by air (including the recent capture in Paris of more than a tonne of cocaine on board an Air France flight from Caracas) much of the trade is now conducted by sending thousands of mules to Europe with drugs either concealed inside their bodies or in their luggage. It is less risky for the cartels and they can afford to lose large amounts of narcotics because much more gets through than can ever be seized. "They're expendable and replaceable", says Mr Soberon. "If they're arrested there's always someone else on the street, a Peruvian or someone from Spain or Europe ready to be hired to smuggle drugs." He is highly critical of a government policy that, he says, merely targets the small fry while the really big fish get away - men who are very careful not to be caught with "drugs in their pockets". Peru's government sees things differently. Encouraged and supported by foreign agencies, it says it is winning the war. More than one tonne of cocaine, seized across Peru, is brought to a warehouse in central Lima every week before being destroyed. Col Tito Perez, chief of investigations at Peru's anti-drugs police unit, said the profiling of travellers at Lima airport and other borders was very effective and producing results. He warned would-be couriers that the risk simply was not worth it. Even as I was speaking to the colonel at his unit's headquarters in central Lima, a Jeep drew up with three more captured mules, rueing their bad luck at being captured. I spoke briefly to the three, all handcuffed and almost certainly destined to a long period in one of Lima's less than salubrious prisons. One was from South Africa, another from Mexico and one a Polish national - a rather sad testimony to the international nature of the trade in narcotics. Like the two young UK women, they bemoaned their luck and said they had been pressured into carrying the cocaine. But there is little sympathy here in Peru for the smugglers, however young or naive they may be. Some youngsters were pinned face-down on the floor, while others were strapped into chairs. The figures revealed at least 731 injuries in the past three years. The Department of Education says it plans to publish draft guidelines on reducing the need for restraint in special schools shortly. A Freedom of Information request to local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales revealed 13,000 physical restraints in the past three years, resulting in 731 injuries. But less than a fifth of authorities were able to provide the data - with most saying they didn't keep the information. That suggests the true number of injuries caused by restraint in special schools is far higher. Beth Morrison from Dundee launched a national campaign after her son Calum sustained injuries at his special school while being restrained. She said she became worried when her son came home from school with bruising on his arms and spots on his chest consistent with haemorrhaging caused by being restrained. The GP said there was some indication of positional asphyxia - such injuries are often seen in victims of strangulation - which was "very, very serious." She says she was later told by an expert that the particular haemorrhaging on his chest could mean Calum had been held face-down, in a prone restraint. The former care minister, Norman Lamb, has previously called for the technique to be banned in care settings, describing it as "dangerous". Dundee Council told the BBC it was cooperating fully with a police investigation, and wouldn't comment on specific allegations until that has been completed. The council said: "A report published last month by Education Scotland highlighted 'significant improvements' at the school. "Inspectors said that 'there is a strong focus on ensuring the wellbeing of children and young people'." The 5 live investigation found less than one fifth of local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales held any data about the use of restraint in special schools in their area. • In England, only nine out of 153 local authorities provided the BBC with figures. Of those that did, there were 6,262 reports of restraints, resulting in 360 injuries in the past three years • In Scotland, 17 out of 32 local authorities provided data, reporting 4,383 restraints and 157 injuries • In Wales, 11 out of 22 local authorities provided data, reporting 2,182 restraints and 214 injuries • The Education Authority of Northern Ireland told the BBC they did not hold the information The Local Government Association said it takes safeguarding responsibilities "extremely seriously" but "the current system works on the basis that schools…have the primary responsibility". They added that "where a specific safeguarding incident is raised, councils will act". [Source: Department for Education] Mark Oldman is the head of Millgate School, a special school in Leicester for 11-16 year old boys who've been excluded from one or more other schools, mostly for physically and verbally abusing staff. He says it's a tough environment - and restraint is sometimes needed. "I've been physically attacked; pupils have attempted to hurt me or members of staff," he said. "I've been bitten, spat at; I've been run at with an axe. But as their teacher, I have a responsibility to keep them safe, and sometimes that means using restraint. "You have to be able to trust [school staff] to make snap decisions in some very difficult circumstances. "I would say that 99.9% of the time, we get it right." But Sir Stephen Bubb - who headed the investigation into the abuse of patients with learning disabilities and autism at Winterbourne View near Bristol - said the findings were "scandalous and very dangerous". He now plans to ask the Children's Commissioner for England, Anne Longfield, to launch an inquiry. "What is happening in local authorities is extraordinary," he said. "Restraint appears to be widespread, but how do we know whether physical restraint is being used as a punishment, which is actually unlawful?" 5 live Investigates is on BBC Radio 5 live, 2 April at 11:00 GMT - catch up on BBC iPlayer Radio.

His climbing companion raised the alarm at about 18:00 that day and members of Lochaber and RAF mountain rescue teams mounted a rescue operation. The injured man, his climbing companion who was uninjured and mountain rescue personnel were airlifted from the scene by a helicopter at 02:00 on Saturday. Police Scotland said: "Sadly the casualty, who was in his 50s and from outwith the area, died as a result of his injuries. Officers are liaising with next of kin and a further update will be issued in due course. "Members of the mountain rescue teams are thanked for their courageous efforts during the rescue, carried out in dark and difficult conditions." Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team has described the rescue effort in the dark and cloud on dangerous terrain as "one of the most difficult and technical" it has ever been involved in. Eighteen members of the Fort William-based team and 13 from the RAF team were involved in the operation on a route known as the Long Climb, the longest climbing route in the UK. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 index closed up 60.58 points, or 0.4%, at 15,919.58. The rise came amid the Bank of Japan's two-day policy meeting, which will finished on Thursday. However, analysts are not expecting major action by the central bank. Shares in the US and Europe dropped sharply on Tuesday as polls indicated rising support for the Leave campaign in the UK's upcoming EU referendum. Some analysts have said leaving the political and economic union could harm the UK's economy, although the effects would not be immediate. "The economic impact would occur over months and years, not immediately," London-based analyst Michael Metcalfe said. "But financial markets are constantly trying to look forward and discount what's going to happen." In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 index finished the session down 1.1% at 5,147.1, dragged down by commodity-related stocks. South Korean shares were also down, with the benchmark Kospi index finishing 0.2% lower at 1,968.83. Investors were watching mainland Chinese stocks closely on Wednesday after the world's biggest stock index provider, MSCI, delayed including the country's A shares on its emerging market index. Inclusion on the index would have been a major step forward for Beijing as it attempts to open up its financial markets and attract foreign capital. However, stock markets in Hong Kong and China did not seem troubled by MSCI's knock back. Hong Kong's Hang Seng reversed earlier losses and closed up 0.4% at 20,467.52, while the Shanghai Composite ended the day 1.6% higher at 2,887.21. MSCI, which is the world's biggest stock index provider, said on Tuesday that China's authorities had demonstrated "a clear commitment" in bringing accessibility of their A shares market closer to international standards. It also said it was looking forward to the "continuation of policy momentum in addressing the remaining accessibility issues". Skipper Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Alex Hales and Joe Root were part of successes against New Zealand, Australia and Pakistan in 2015. Sam Billings, Jason Roy and James Vince complete coach Trevor Bayliss' options. "With players like that, you'll always have a chance to win major tournaments," Collingwood said. He told BBC Newcastle: "The fielding is world-class, the batting line-up is powerful right down to nine or 10. There are good things happening in this team." Collingwood lifted the trophy as England skipper in 2010, when they beat Australia in the final in Barbados. He will travel to India as part of the coaching staff and, although defeats by South Africa in both one-day and T20 cricket tempered the optimism among England supporters, he believes that should be regarded as "a bit of a blip". The 39-year-old added: "Everybody has seen the way white-ball cricket has been going over the past year, it's been very exciting. "We need to realise the good things they've been doing the past year, the way they've played their cricket, these guys are very much athletes now. "If they play like they did against Australia or New Zealand they can beat anyone." Hampshire batsman and captain Vince is also confident that England have the talent to be strong challengers. The 24-year-old did not feature on the recent tour of South Africa, but he was part of the Karachi Kings team which reached the semi-finals of the Pakistan Super League in February. "Although the South Africa series didn't quite go to plan, the way the guys have been playing their one-day cricket and Twenty20 cricket over the last 12 months or so gives us a real chance," he told BBC Radio Solent. "We'll just go out there and play the way we can do, and if we do that we'll go somewhere." The Spend a Penny scheme, run by the Theatres Trust, is handing out a total of £125,000 to up to 10 theatres. There are often complaints that older theatres do not have enough facilities for women, who can spend the entire interval in a queue to use them. Theatres can apply for up to £15,000 to improve toilets for women, including unisex and gender neutral facilities. British guidelines specifies that for a 500-seat auditorium, eight ladies' toilets should be provided. "Even though this seems inadequate for audiences whose time for use is strictly limited, there are many theatres which do not even meet this standard," said the Theatres Trust. "The anxiety caused by long queues, with unappealing conditions often awaiting even the lucky few, meaningfully diminishes the joy of theatre for about half the audience." The charity will inspect all the theatres that apply to find out which are most in need of the grant. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram, or email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. Kent Police confirmed officers had sent the file to its lawyers following an investigation. Mr Mackinlay beat Nigel Farage in the seat of South Thanet two years ago. The CPS will decide whether any charges should be brought against either Mr Mackinlay or his agent. Mr Mackinlay said he had done nothing wrong. In a statement, the MP added: "I have... acted honestly and properly throughout." Mr Mackinlay has said he plans to stand again in the seat in this year's general election. Police said officers investigating offences under the Representation of the People's Act 1983 submitted the file to the CPS earlier this month. The CPS confirmed it had received a file but did not comment further. Tigers were knocked out of the European Champions Cup earlier this month, and are fifth in the Premiership. They have lost all three games under head coach Aaron Mauger since sacking director of rugby Richard Cockerill on 2 January. "We could have left that decision until the end of the season, but we didn't because we want to win," Cohen said. "This board has got a pretty good record of getting it right over a number of years. There's a lot of rugby expertise on the board. "Leicester Tigers will be challenging for trophies and I don't see any reason why we can't challenge for trophies this season." The Anglo-Welsh Cup resumes on Saturday, with Tigers having two wins from two as they prepare to host Northampton Saints in their third of four Pool matches. Victory over fierce rivals Saints, and Saracens the following week, would guarantee them top spot and a place in the semi-finals. Tigers are also still in contention for a top-four finish in the Premiership, sitting five points behind fourth-placed Bath. Cohen confirmed that the search for a new director of rugby is being led by the external consultancy firm which recommended Eddie Jones to the Rugby Football Union for the England head coach's job. "We've got a rugby group within the board who will review those recommendations and then make a recommendation to the board," he told BBC Radio Leicester. "The processes are pretty good to ensure we get the best possible person and I'm sure that Aaron will be a candidate in that process." Alun Kinney Evans, 33, is charged with murdering Margaret Evans in Portstewart on June 4 last year. Ms Evans, a 69-year old hairdresser who was known as Margo, was found dead in the Knockancor Drive home she shared with her son. Mr Evans entered a "not guilty" plea at Antrim Crown Court, sitting in Belfast. A prosecution lawyer told the court the crux of the trial will "focus on medical issues". The judge was informed that the trial is expected to last for a fortnight, with 6 January next year as a possible start date. He was remanded back into custody. He launched the Radio X breakfast show by trying to dispel the notion that the station was aimed at men, and opened with Girls Aloud's Love Machine. Radio X originally promised to be the "first truly male-focused" station. But Moyles told listeners it was "not a radio version of a Yorkie bar". It is the DJ's first radio job since he left Radio 1 in 2012 after 15 years. "If you've read about Radio X being a radio station being for men only, that is rubbish," he said. "Nobody agrees with this except for the one person who put it in the press release." Moyles did not play his first song until almost half an hour into the show, and was later joined on air by ex-Oasis star Noel Gallagher. Some fans complained that the Radio X website was struggling to cope with the numbers of listeners trying to tune in online. He began his Radio X debut with the words: "Hello again Great Britain. Right, this is a bit weird isn't it... Welcome to a brand new radio station. "I've been waiting for three years for this place, sitting on my backside doing nothing, watching Judge Rinder, or whatever it's called, and now I'm back on the radio. That's right, the money finally ran out. "And what better place for my comeback than a brand new radio station that I can play with and do whatever I want. Which isn't entirely true." He continued: "The last time I started a breakfast show I was 29. I'm 41 now. How the hell did that happen? "I'm Chris and I'll be your host and guide through the next week, few weeks, month, few months, and let's just leave it there and see how we get on." The show sees Moyles go head-to-head with his successor on BBC Radio 1's breakfast show, Nick Grimshaw. Moyles attracted eight million listeners at the peak of his Radio 1 show. Grimshaw currently attracts an audience of about 5.8 million. Vernon Kay, Johnny Vaughan and the Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson also have their own shows on Radio X. When it was announced that Xfm would be revamped, Radio X promised to play the "best fresh rock and guitar-based music across the UK" and be the "first truly male-focused" station, targeted at 25-44 year olds. The move affects 27 professors across the university's five schools. A spokesman for the university said it was creating a new role with new criteria. The University and College Union (UCU) said it was "surprised" by the move, which they said effectively means each professor is at risk of redundancy. Jon Bryan, from UCU, told BBC Tees it was a "shock" and a "kick in the teeth" for those affected. Mr Bryan said Teesside University does "internationally excellent research" and has got "world leading experts in a whole range of fields". A university spokesman said the new role of "professor (research)" would build on the university's "research success". "The university is currently in the early stages of consultation with the relevant staff," he added. "The proposed process would enable all current professors to apply for appointment to the new role and, if they met the new criteria, be appointed. "All current research students will continue to be supported through their studies during these changes."

The 34-year-old former England defender has been a regular for the Rams, featuring in 22 games this term. Warnock, who came through the academy at Liverpool, joined Derby on an 18-month deal from Leeds in January 2015. "When we found out Stephen was available it really was a no brainer," said manager Gary Caldwell. "He has vast experience having played extensively at the very top level, but he also has great Football League experience in recent years and I think he will really help the squad at a vital time of the season." Wigan are second in the table, four points adrift of leaders Burton Albion, who have a game in hand. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The Reds arrived at the Riverside Stadium having taken just one point from their past two matches and manager Jurgen Klopp chose to drop goalkeeper Loris Karius. However, his replacement Simon Mignolet had little to do after Lallana headed home Nathaniel Clyne's cross before the break as Liverpool seized complete control. Sadio Mane wasted several opportunities but Lallana was clinical, first crossing slickly for Divock Origi to prod home a fine team goal, then side-footing in a pass from the Belgium striker for the third. The three-goal margin was enough to move Liverpool second, while Boro - competitive in the first half but abject after the break - drop to 17th. The gulf in class between these two teams was clear. Often keeping possession with 10 home shirts behind the ball, Liverpool waited for key moments to inject pace into attacks with devastating effect. Klopp's decision to replace Karius drew focus before kick-off, but that will switch to his side's qualities after this display. Lallana was at the centre of everything they did well. Shortly after arriving at the back post to head home the opener, he slid in to block a stinging Adam Forshaw shot at the other end. Mane struck the woodwork, giving the hosts hope in the second half, but a one-touch interchange involving the Senegal international, Georginio Wijnaldum, Lallana and Origi for the second goal epitomised all that was good about the classy visitors. Lallana has now been involved in 12 goals this season, scoring six and making six - a healthy improvement on the 10 he was involved in across 30 appearances in 2015-16. And at the other end Liverpool also answered questions. They have scored 40 goals in the league after 16 matches - the last time they did that they won the title in 1978-79 - but the fact they have still conceded one more goal than Boro is worrying. Even without the composure Joel Matip often offers, his replacement Ragnar Klavan formed part of a solid defence alongside Dejan Lovren, with Mignolet only making one key save to deny Viktor Fischer before half-time. Even against a Reds side who had conceded six goals in their past two matches, Boro could not overcome their growing tendency to be blunt in front of goal. A three-goal margin suggests their problems were defensive, but with striker Alvaro Negredo constantly isolated, perhaps more support for him in the final third could have at least offered them a footing. Their 13 goals and their tally of 41 shots on target are both league lows. They managed three on target on Wednesday but have not had four in a match this season. Aitor Karanka's side are clearly committed - they have made more tackles than any side this season - but they are yet to win two games in a row since being promoted. At this stage last season Newcastle had a point more than Boro but ended up being relegated. Middlesbrough will have far easier nights, but they are edging close to trouble and solving their attacking difficulties could go a long way to aid their fortunes. Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka: "We have to remember how good we've been in the games before this, against Bournemouth and Hull City. I think they were the best team we've faced this season. "We tried, especially in the second half with two new players, to press higher. It proved impossible to stop them. I can admit they were much better than us." Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "We had moments in the first half where we were static and even I was confused. We did much better second half, we could have finished more often. "Adam Lallana is improving even when he doesn't score, but it's nice he's in that situation. About a year ago I had sat him in the office and I was happy with him but he was like 'I'm not scoring' - and I said he wasn't in the right positions. Tonight he was twice in the right position and it was wonderful." Media playback is not supported on this device Middlesbrough have another home league fixture against relegation-threatened Swansea City on Saturday (15:00 GMT kick-off), while Liverpool travel to Everton on Monday (20:00) for what will be Ronald Koeman's first Merseyside derby in charge of the Toffees.

In the report, former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela recommends Mr Zuma establish a judicial commission of inquiry within 30 days. Mr Zuma is accused of an improper relationship with wealthy businessmen. He had tried to block the release of the report, but dropped his court bid on Wednesday. The president and leader of the governing African National Congress (ANC) has been dogged by corruption allegations for more than a decade, but has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Police fired water cannon to disperse protesters who marched on Mr Zuma's main office in Pretoria to demand his resignation. The 355-page report by former anti-corruption chief Thuli Madonsela is entitled "State of Capture" and is illustrated on its front page with a hand strung with puppet wires. Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas is quoted in the report as saying that businessman Ajay Gupta offered him 600m rand ($44.6m; £36.2m) last year, "to be deposited in an account of his choice", if he accepted the post of finance minister. Mr Gupta also asked him if he had "a bag which he could use to receive and carry 600,000 rand in cash immediately", Mr Jonas alleged, adding that Mr Zuma's son, Duduzane, was present at the meeting. He was expected to remove key Treasury officials from their posts and advance the Gupta family's "business ambitions", Mr Jonas is quoted as saying. The businessman has not yet commented on the report, but has previously denied any wrongdoing. The Gupta family is close to President Zuma, and the two have been nicknamed by the opposition as the "Zuptas". After Mr Jonas rejected the alleged offer, little-known ANC MP Des van Rooyen was appointed finance minister. Ms Madonsela said she had obtained evidence, including telephone records, placing Mr Van Rooyen at the Gupta's family home on seven occasions, including the day before the appointment. Mr Zuma was forced to sack him four days later after South Africa's currency went into a tailspin. The report also contains allegations that: Opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Musi Maimane said state coffers were being "plundered" by "crooks", but the "good guys" were winning in the battle to safeguard the democracy which emerged in South Africa at the end of minority rule in 1994. There has not been any immediate reaction from Mr Zuma, who did not co-operate with the investigation, saying he had not been given enough time. This report is bad for President Zuma but certainly not as damning as opposition parties and many others had hoped when they went to court. The findings and subsequent remedial action seem to kick the can down the road. It says that the president should appoint a judicial commission of inquiry. This means that Mr Zuma would still occupy the highest office in the land for many months to come, as he slowly approaches the end of his second and last term. There is no doubt that should the inquiry recommend that Mr Zuma be censured, there would be grounds for impeachment. But that would present a political problem in the house of assembly because Mr Zuma's own party, the ANC, holds an overwhelming majority. The loyal MPs have overcome many attempts by the opposition to have a vote of no confidence in the president. Mr Zuma lives to fight another day but he must surely be nearing the last of his nine lives. An earlier statement from the president's office said the decision to abandon a court bid to block the report's release was made "in the interest of justice and speedy resolution of the matter". "The president will give consideration to the contents of the report in order to ascertain whether it should be a subject of a court challenge," it said. Mr Zuma survived an impeachment vote earlier this year after South Africa's highest court upheld another finding of Ms Madonsela - that he had "unduly benefited" from government money used to upgrade his private home in the rural area of Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal province. Ms Madonsela stepped down as Public Protector at the end of her seven-year term last month. The Guptas in South Africa: Who are the Guptas? The Halifax said that prices rose at an annual pace of 7.9% last month - down from 9.6% in June. During July itself, prices actually fell, by 0.6%, the largest monthly drop since April 2014. It brings the average price of a flat or house across the country back down to £198,883. The sharp fall in July was described as "a correction" by Howard Archer, chief UK economist with IHS Global Insight, following a 1.6% rise in prices in June. The Halifax figures are in contrast to those from rival lender Nationwide, which said earlier this week that the rate of house price growth picked up to 3.5% in July, from 3.3% a month earlier. However, the Halifax said it expected strong growth in prices for the rest of the year. "The underlying pace of house price growth remains robust notwithstanding the easing in July," said Stephen Noakes, Halifax's managing director of retail customer products. "Continuing economic recovery, earnings growth in excess of consumer price inflation, and very low mortgage rates all underpin housing demand." Mr Archer said the contrasting figures from the Halifax and Nationwide served as a warning against reading too much into any one survey. "This highlights the need to not pin too much weight on one particular house price survey or measure, but to try and take an overall view from the data," he said. Nationwide and Halifax both base their data on mortgage approvals, but they use a different "mix-adjustment" in their methodology. That involves a different weighting of the figures, to reflect different types of property being sold in any month, and more sales in a particular region of the UK. Steve Cleaver was "devastated" after thieves broke into the Barry hairdresser's and took his collection. His Vale of Glamorgan premises was renowned for its display, that included an original 1977 Millennium Falcon space ship replica worth £300. He believes excitement from Thursday's premiere of the latest instalment, The Force Awakens, triggered the raid. The South Wales Police force is investigating the theft, which happened earlier this month, and has appealed for witnesses. A VHS box set of the original films, signed by Darth Vader actor David Prowse and worth £200 was also taken. Other memorabilia included an action figure of bounty hunter Boba Fett in its packaging and signed by actor Jeremy Bulloch, worth £50. Memorabilia can sell for huge amounts, with an original Boba Fett figure selling for £18,000 earlier this year. "They were things you can't just pick up from the shop, like the VHS box set signed by the guy who played Darth Vader. "Losing my till money and tip jar is one thing, but my Star Wars stuff has been with with me for so long. It's not nice," Mr Cleaver, 39, said. He said he has been checking online re-sale sites, but is beginning to give up hope for the return of the Jedi-related memorabilia. The police and ambulance service were called to All Saints DLR station in East India Dock Road shortly after midnight. The man, aged in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene. The Metropolitan Police have launched a murder investigation. A spokesman said he may have been the victim of an assault. No arrests have been made. Officers from the Met's homicide and major crime command have been informed and enquiries continue, the force added. The victim has not yet been formally identified and next of kin are yet to be informed. A post-mortem examination will be held in due course. The Prison Service said officers negotiated overnight with the two men on a residential roof on the Parkhurst site of HMP Isle of Wight. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said the two men had been brought down safely at 00:45 BST. The prison in Newport is a category B prison made up of male inmates and vulnerable/sex offenders. HMP Isle of Wight was created in 2009 with the merger of Parkhurst, Albany and Camp Hill prisons, the latter facility closed in 2013. The prison holds approximately 1,100 prisoners on its two sites. The courts have detained at least 50 protesters, according to a local human rights organisation. The secretary general of the Organisation of American States (OAS) likened the country to a dictatorship. Government officials have not confirmed the arrests or the military processing of civilian suspects. Meanwhile, official figures show there has been a sharp rise in infant mortality and maternal death rates in the country as its economic crisis continues. "The right and basic guarantees of due process no longer exist in Venezuela from the moment a civilian is forced to appear before a military court," said Luis Almagro, the Uruguayan head of the OAS, in a video statement on Monday. Venezuela announced its withdrawal from the OAS last month, accusing the US-based group of meddling in its affairs. President Nicolás Maduro said on Monday he planned to create a constitutional military assembly to deepen his revolution. He wants to involve the armed forces in his new citizen's assembly, which he says is needed to restore peace as the country deals with daily protests that have claimed more than 30 lives in recent weeks. His critics say the new assembly is being designed to neutralise the opposition-led legislature, the National Assembly. "A regime that has violated the constitution in all of its fundamental principles." The words used by Luis Almagro were strong, but not nearly has strong as those used by anti-government protesters marching in Caracas on Monday. "Dictator, murderer, repressor," is what they called Mr Maduro, as they demonstrated against the president's plan to create a citizens' assembly to draw up a new constitution. "We don't need a new constitution, we need a new president," one woman said as her fellow demonstrators cheered. At a rival pro-government march, a speaker meanwhile tried to whip up enthusiasm for the citizens' assembly. Waving a copy of the constitution, he asked the crowd to "give a cheer" for articles 347 and 348, which give the Venezuelan people the power to change the constitution. The response was muted. Asked about the proposed changes, many struggled to explain why the constitution introduced under their beloved late leader, Hugo Chavez, needed changing. The National Assembly is meeting on Tuesday, alongside various non-government organisations, to discuss what they see as serious government repression. Citizen's meetings, arranged by the opposition groups, are also taking place across the country to discuss the proposed constitutional amendments. Alfredo Romero, a lawyer for Foro Penal, told AFP news agency military hearings involving civilians had been taking place for several days. "So far, 75 people have been brought before Venezuelan military courts," he said. "Fifty of those remain in custody." Foro Penal said they were being held in Guarico state, south of Caracas. In the first figures released since the start of Venezuela's economic crisis, which is fuelling opposition to the government, the health ministry said women dying in childbirth or within a month of giving birth had risen by 65%, while child deaths had climbed 30%. There has also been an increase in cases of illnesses such as malaria and diphtheria, which had been eradicated. Venezuela's acute shortage of almost all medicines has driven thousands to cross the country's borders in search of the drugs they need, while many doctors have emigrated, saying hospitals lack basic equipment. The opposition blames the crisis on economic mismanagement by President Maduro, but he says medicines are being hoarded to encourage a coup against him. Djokovic believes this "shock therapy" will help him achieve better results. The world number two says he will be on the tour alone until he finds the right person to take over as head coach. Boris Becker, a six-time Grand Slam winner, left in December after three years as the 29-year-old's coach. The Serb next competes at the Madrid Open, with the men's first-round draw to take place on Friday. A statement on Djokovic's website said he and coach Vajda, fitness coach Gebhard Phil Gritsch and physiotherapist Miljan Amanovic had "mutually agreed" to "end their successful and long-term partnership". Djokovic said he would be "forever grateful" for their "friendship, professionalism and commitment to my career goals". "Without their support I couldn't have achieved these professional heights, but we all felt that we need a change," he added. "My career was always on the upward path and this time I'm experiencing how it is when the path takes you in a different direction. "I want to find a way to come back to the top stronger and more resilient. I am a hunter and my biggest goal is to find the winning spark on the court again." Djokovic lost his world number one spot to Britain's Andy Murray in November last year, after 122 weeks at the top of the rankings. He beat Murray in the final of January's Qatar Open, but was knocked out in round two of the Australian Open later that month by Denis Istomin, then the world number 117. In his five events since he has failed to advance beyond the last eight, most recently losing to Belgium's David Goffin in the Monte Carlo Masters quarter-finals. Russell Fuller, BBC tennis correspondent There was no great surprise when three very successful years with Boris Becker came to an end in December - head coaches tend to come and go - but this will have been a more agonising decision for the 12-time Grand Slam champion. Marian Vajda, in particular, is woven into the fabric of Djokovic's career - "shock therapy" is an excellent way to put it. Vajda says he is "convinced" the world number two will remain at the top for many years. Becker said something similar late last year, and both may prove to be right. For now, though, the sport is waiting to see whether Djokovic still has the hunger required after such a phenomenal and sustained spell of success. Around three hectares of scrubland were alight on Tottenham Marshes in Lee Valley Park on Tuesday evening. More than 60 firefighters brought the flames under control in two hours using grass beaters and water backpacks. London Fire Brigade said grass fires could travel quickly and change direction. It warned people against attempting to put them out. Station manager Gary Thompson, who was at the scene, said: "Grass fires cause a great deal of damage to open spaces, property and wildlife but the public can help us stop them from starting by making sure that their cigarettes and barbecues are extinguished properly and that glass bottles, which can concentrate the sun's rays onto dry grass, are disposed of carefully." It seems Chinese netizens are more enthralled by the popular British TV export Sherlock than Mr Cameron, regard London Mayor Boris Johnson as an "insane" sportsman, Chancellor George Osborne as Mr Bean's doppelganger and Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond as "somebody's grandpa". David Cameron is one of the world's few leaders to have an account on the popular Chinese networking site Sina Weibo. But despite amassing more than 910,000 followers since joining in 2013, he is not well-known in China, with many believing Tony Blair is still prime minister. Even those aware of who the current British prime minister is know little about him, regarding him as little more than a potential conduit for gaining access to the producers of Sherlock. Following a recent post, most users asked him if he could "be troubled to provide timely update reminders about Sherlock". "When will the new series be?" asked user Tianyu Xiang C. "Dear Prime Minister, the best way to promote relations between China and the UK is: Sherlock season four. By the way, I'm gay and I love you," says another. Boris Johnson has more than 120,000 followers on Sina Weibo and, even though he hasn't posted anything for two years, still manages to be an occasional talking point. Popular Chinese Global People magazine recently posted images of Mr Johnson with many Chinese liking his "visit to Japan" and commenting on his "playing football with super strength". During his last visit to China in October 2013, the Guardian newspaper said he "shamelessly upstaged" Chancellor George Osborne when he was pictured playing the drums in a Chinese shopping centre. However, it seems Mr Johnson's involvement in sport and outdoor activities has won him the most favour with Chinese netizens. User Zhou Meng praised him for being "insane" and a "maverick mayor" in June, for promoting Formula 1 at Battersea Park, and riding a bicycle to work, both of which are popular pastimes in China. Despite being one of the UK's most vocal advocates for closer trade ties with China, George Osborne registers little with most Chinese people. A search on Sina Weibo for Osborne results in endless commentary on Mark Osborne, director of English language film The Little Prince, which has been a huge talking point in China in recent months. Recent comments about the chancellor have been largely derogatory. User jilijames calls him "big and slippery". Others say they like seeing "finance minister Osborne in the news", because he "exclaims like Mr Bean". "I sometimes forget and call him Mr Osbean," says user zj_232232. Chinese state television showed Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond as one of the first people to greet President Jinping when he arrived in the UK. But like George Osborne, a search on Sina Weibo generates results about a better known TV personality in China with the same surname, former Top Gear host Richard Hammond. However, Philip Hammond did register with Chinese social media users for the wrong reasons when he sent a message of condolence following the factory blast in north China's Tianjin in August. Although netizens thanked him, they were largely underwhelmed by his appearance. "The minister has a boring, mediocre face," said Zhang Chi 2015, while user Mi Huyang described him as "an old aristocrat, who looks like somebody's grandpa."

The Markgraf was among dozens of ships from the German High Seas Fleet scuttled by their crews off Orkney in 1919 following the end of World War One. Data has been collected during a major maritime archaeology project. The first image created shows the upturned hull of the Markgraf. More than 50 German ships sank to the bottom of Scapa Flow in June 1919. Most were removed from the water but some remain on the sea bed, and were declared monuments of national importance in 2001. Marine archaeologists from Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology (Orca), the University of the Highlands and Islands Archaeology Institute and divers from scientific logistics diving company Sula have been involved in the multibeam echosounder technology project. The new image shows the Markgraf lying in 30m (98ft) of water on the seabed of Scapa Flow. Propeller shafts and rudders can be seen still in place, 98 years on. There will be more images released once the data has been analysed in full. The Markgraf was built in Bremen to serve in the German Navy in World War One. The Battle of Jutland in 1916 was to be the ship's first significant action, suffering damage and several crew deaths. In November 1918, the battleship left Germany for the last time, and was among the many interned ships of the German High Seas Fleet in the Orkney anchorage of Scapa Flow the following year. As wrangles over the peace treaty to officially end the war were reaching a climax in Paris, the German commander, Admiral Ludwig von Reuter, believed that his ships were about to be seized as spoils of war and divided up between the victorious Allies. He felt duty-bound not to let that happen. Von Reuter's flagship, Emden, sent out the seemingly innocuous message - "Paragraph Eleven; confirm". It was a code ordering his men to scuttle their own ships. Beneath decks, German sailors immediately began to open seacocks - valves that allow water in - and smash pipes. The Germans took to small boats to escape their sinking ships, a dramatic sight for all who witnessed it. It was found by two walkers in undergrowth close to Military Road on Saturday evening. Irish national broadcaster RTÉ reports that a torso was found but that the person's gender is not known. It's understood that it had only been there for a short time. Gardaí have closed the scene. The company's share price rose 6.6%, reaching a 15-month high, after the retailer reported profit before tax rose 4.3% to £88.9m for the 26 weeks to 28 February. Debenhams said its focus on online delivery - up 12.7% - was part of its success. The company has also cut its debt by £62.4m, to £297.3m. Bryan Roberts from Kantar Retail analysts said: "These numbers mark something of a pleasant surprise, with half-year earnings ahead of expectations and the company seemingly doing a better job of managing its frenetic schedule of promotions and discounts. " The news comes despite a share price fall after the Christmas period. Debenhams said it would continue with its current strategy for sustainable growth in the longer term. It also said it had cut down the amount it spent on promotions. "Overall we delivered a good first-half performance, despite a difficult clothing season in autumn and we are on track to achieve full-year expectations," said chief executive Michael Sharp. "We are continuing to plan prudently in the near term, while remaining focused on our strategic priorities." Debenhams - Britain's second-largest department store chain - said almost half of its online sales were placed through a mobile phone or tablet. But this is not necessarily good news, say experts. Retail analyst Freddie George from Cantor Fitzgerald warned: "We remain concerned that the department stores are capital-intensive and need to be furbished to a higher standard to attract shoppers. "We also believe there is a growing cost to the business from growing its online operations." Pilots began action stopping long-haul flights yesterday and extended it to medium and short-haul journeys today. Their union is in a long battle over pay and retirement benefits. The company said the judgement was good news for passengers, but came too late to alter Wednesday's flight schedule. It said flights would be back to normal on Thursday. The strike, which affected 1,000 flights, was the 13th stoppage in 18 months. Lufthansa is trying to restructure to meet increasing competition, particularly from the Gulf airlines and lower-cost operators, and wants to maintain market share through its budget airline. It has insisted it will go ahead with contract changes that bring pilots' pay and conditions into line with colleagues at the lower-cost operations. The German employers' association BDA said the strikes were damaging the entire German economy. But increasingly tinkerers and hobbyists are proving they are more than equal to the corporate world, and their efforts are challenging the traditional methods of manufacturing. From the 15-year-old high school student who created a pancreatic cancer test using Google as a research tool, to people making money from home-made electronic devices, citizens are most definitely doing it for themselves. The availability of cheap components, from microcontrollers such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi, coupled with the plethora of crowdsourcing models to allow the sharing of everything from ideas to funding, means that production can move out of the factory and into the home. "Things that 10 years ago you needed to be in a big company to make are now possible from individuals," said Dale Dougherty, founding editor of Make Magazine and the Maker Faire. Make Magazine has become the Das Kapital of the maker movement showcasing what people are making while the fair offers a real-life meeting point for what is often a very diverse community - "from embroidery to robotics" as Mr Dougherty puts it. Started in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2006, the Maker Faire has now grown to 60 events around the world each year in locations as diverse as India, Tokyo and Newcastle. There is also an independent African Maker Faire, and this is a continent where the maker movement can have real impact thinks Mr Dougherty. "They are realising that they don't need things that a large Western company has. In the past they have got hand-me-downs from the West which are difficult for them to maintain or repair," he said. Instead they can make their own devices, custom-made for medical, communication, farming or other needs. Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired magazine, is so convinced that the maker movement will bring about the next industrial revolution, that he has written a book about it. The parallels between the current phenomenon and the beginnings of the digital revolution are remarkable, he told the BBC ahead of the launch of his book: Makers, The New Industrial Revolution. "There is a sense that this is the PC movement over again. All the ingredients that led to the digital revolution out of the west coast of the US in the 70s and 80s are coming together in manufacturing," he told the BBC. "The difference is it is not going to take 20 years because unlike 1977 we already have the web," he added. If the garages in which the computer revolution was born were all about computers and code then the makers' garages are filled with laser cutters and 3D printers. And this time you don't need a computer science or business degree. For those starting out there is a huge web community of amateur experts waiting with tips and advice. For those with ideas but no clue how to turn it into a product, there are cloud manufacturing sites on hand to help with pretty much every part of the process from making to marketing. And for those with neither tools nor ideas there are physical hackerspaces where they can go to get both. The evidence of the revolution is in "just about everything you see on Kickstarter", said Mr Anderson. Take the Pebble smart watch which received huge amounts of interest and money on the crowd-funding website, grabbing the limelight from a very similar product designed by Sony. "In the public perception it outcompeted one of the biggest electronic companies in the world," said Mr Anderson. Despite the gathering media circus around makers, Mr Dougherty urges caution when predicting how they will change the world. "Makers have always been out there, they just didn't have a name for themselves. People often tell me proudly how they had a family member who was a maker, they see it as a tradition rather than a trend," he said. He agrees that there is some sort of revolution in the air though. "We are undergoing a creative rather than an industrial revolution," he said. "It is not replacing large scale manufacturing but people can go quickly from an idea to realised design so it means that people are thinking differently," he added. What is new, argues Mr Anderson is the way that corporations are facing a new threat to the old ways of doing things from what he calls "an army of micro-manufacturers". Large-scale organisations are definitely sitting up and taking notice of the Maker movement. Intel is one of the sponsors of the Maker Faire and big tech corporation are beginning to hire makers for their research and development teams, according to Mr Dougherty. Autodesk, a leading CAD (computer aided design) software firm makes the majority of money from clients in the building, construction and aerospace industries but increasingly it is keen to adapt its industrial products for consumer use. It is what Autodesk describes as the "democratisation of design software". The firm has recently bought Instructables, a website which offers blueprints for a whole range of products. It is also an investor in TechShop, a physical workshop which gives people access to tools and equipment. It is little wonder that corporates are sniffing around at the edges of the maker movement because it is making one very important thing - money. Etsy, an online marketplace for handmade items, has already surpassed $500m (£307m) in sales this year while 3D printer manufacturer Makerbot has sold 13,000 units of its affordable 3D printers. 3D printing may be the killer app of the maker movement and Mr Anderson envisages it spreading its influence into a diverse range of industries, from robotics, computer electronics and even jewellery. For the time being though 3D printers are largely being bought by parents "for their kids as a tool to inspire them", he said. His own children love theirs. "The boys make boardgame figures and the girls dolls' house furniture. Dolls' house furniture may not seem like a major industry but it feeds into the idea that it is all about kids playing with something and hoping to become the next Mark Zuckerberg. "Regular people are designing extraordinary things and some may even be able to build a company around it," he said. If Karl Marx had been born in the web age, he might have had to adapt his famous call to arm slightly - "Makers of the world unite". John Turner, of the Association of Electoral Administrators, said it showed the electorate's "apathy or disinterest" with local government. In Eden District Council in Cumbria, 21 out of 38 councillors will be returned unopposed on 7 May. More than 9,000 councillors will be elected across 279 local authorities. Local government responsibilities include providing bin services, libraries, some schools and social services. When the same seats across England were up for election in 2011, about 3% of councillors were returned unopposed. This year Mr Turner expects that figure to rise. In the picturesque Suffolk village of Cavendish, locals will be voting for the first time in 42 years on 7 May for a councillor. For the past 12 years, Conservative Peter Stevens has stood unopposed, but now he will face a challenger - Stuart Letten, of UKIP. Mr Letten said the current situation did not "serve democracy well" and it was time for an alternative voice. Mr Stevens admits finding it unusual to see his face on the election posters. Asked why he has had no competition for so long, he said: "Perhaps we represent the ideas of most of our electorate". "My understanding is... it's a larger figure than four years ago," he told BBC Radio 5 live. "It's part of the wider barometer of apathy or disinterest from the electorate with politics in general and local government in particular and it is unfortunately a trend that is increasing year-on-year." He added that local government budgets had been squeezed in recent years, meaning the ability to "do really creative things" was fast disappearing - and that turned people off. "I think what we're seeing is a sort of democratic deficit," he said. There were some "appallingly low" turnout figures for local government over the last 10 to 20 years, he added, citing a Liverpool ward byelection where less than 5% turned out. "Once we get down to that sort of figure, then really you do wonder whether the person elected unopposed has any mandate at all." "It is not an inexpensive business. "As activists within the parties disappear, their numbers are dwindling, then it starts to raise a question about whether in the public interest there should be some public funding for parties to ensure that they do introduce competition in all seats." * 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. A paper titled "Scotland's place in Europe" will be published on Tuesday. Brexit minister Michael Russell said it would include plans to retain a place for Scotland in the single market and new devolved powers for Holyrood. Prime Minister Theresa May has said she is "willing to listen to options", but Chancellor Philip Hammond has suggested a special deal is "not realistic". The Scottish government has been studying its options around Brexit, with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon setting up a "standing council" of experts for advice. Ms Sturgeon has outlined five key interests for Scotland in the process, including access to the European single market, protection for workers' rights, a say in shaping rules and the need to "make sure Scotland's voice is heard". In June's EU referendum, 62% of those who turned out in Scotland backed remain, to 38% for leave. Mike Russell said the paper would target a "substantial transfer of new powers to Holyrood", reflecting the fact that Brexit will see powers come back to the UK from Brussels. He also cautioned against any attempts to use Brexit as cover for a "Westminster power grab". He said the SNP government's ideal position would be for Scotland to be an independent EU member state, but said it had committed to putting forward "compromise proposals" to "mitigate the Brexit damage". Speaking on the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme, the SNP's foreign affairs spokesman Alex Salmond said concerns about the impact of Brexit and future access to the single market could prove decisive in any future referendum on independence. He said: "Nicola Sturgeon has said, I think quite correctly, we want the UK to stay in the single market place with the other protections. "If that's not possible we're publishing a strategy which shows how Scotland could do that. And if the UK government says 'oh, we're not interested in what Scotland has to say' - if they have a Philip Hammond-type of attitude as opposed to Theresa May's initial words on this, then of course we'd be in a different context, and I think a strong position to have that independence campaign." He also set out what issues were important to the first minister in the context of Brexit. He said: "Nicola Sturgeon has put forward her priorities - staying in the single market, proper and equal treatment for other Europeans and the rights of Scottish workers - the protections which are currently bestowed by European law legislation. "I'm sure in the strategy document that's to be published this week, she'll be outlining a range of other things that Scotland requires, particularly the powers that we will need to secure Scotland's position. "Of course there are certain powers, for example fishing, agriculture, but also some control of immigration, that would be required within the single market place for Scotland to operate within it, as well as the full powers of Scottish independence." It is expected that the proposals will also be announced to MSPs at Holyrood. The UK government has repeatedly pledged to listen to options and engage with the devolved administrations, but has warned their leaders not to "undermine the UK's position". After Chancellor Philip Hammond visited Edinburgh earlier in December, the Scottish government insisted that he indicated he "looked forward to hearing our proposals" and said they would be "considered fully". However, Mr Hammond himself appeared to rule out a special Brexit deal for Scotland, saying it was "not realistic". He told reporters that it was "clear that we can't have a different deal or different outcomes for different parts of the UK", and added that it would be a "disadvantage" for Scotland to be outside whatever new relationship the UK negotiates with the EU. This echoed earlier comments from Scottish Secretary David Mundell, who told MSPs that while Scotland's concerns would be "right at the heart of the process", there would be no "special deal". Mr Hammond said he wanted to work closely with the Scottish government and the other devolved administrations in order to "secure the best possible deal" for all parts of the UK, and also called for "sensible discussions" over what new powers are devolved to Holyrood post-Brexit. Ahead of the publication of the latest Scottish government's EU proposals, Mr Mundell said: "We'll consider the Scottish government's proposals carefully. "I hope to see plans that are credible and backed up by evidence. I also hope they commit to working closely with us - a Team UK approach - to get the best possible deal. "That is how we will get the right deal for the whole of the UK - and the right deal for the UK will be the right deal for Scotland". Scottish Labour's Europe spokesman Lewis Macdonald said his party had been calling for full transparency from the SNP for months. He added: "We want a close relationship with Europe, which should mean access to the single market. But it important to realise that access is different to membership. "Britain is leaving the EU, and it is very hard to see any way in which Scotland could remain in both the United Kingdom and the single European market. Expert after expert has said as much since summer. "Scottish Labour will categorically reject any proposal that would put our place in the UK at risk, or could lead to a hard border with England." Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie MSP said his party would examine the SNP's plans when they were published. He added: "Unlike all the others, Liberal Democrats want Scotland to remain in the UK and the UK to remain in the EU. "The best route to remain in Europe is through a Brexit deal referendum. People should be given a say on the detail of the Brexit deal rather than hand the prime minister a blank cheque to agree anything she likes no matter the consequences. "If the SNP are so much in favour of the EU they should join us in that campaign." The Scottish Greens said the government's plans needed to be comprehensive and feature key areas of policy. The party's external affairs spokesman Ross Greer said: "The Scottish government has been robust in defending our interests so far. "Nevertheless, the much anticipated options paper must include certain guarantees if the government wants the support of Green MSPs. "It must have a focus on free movement, workers' rights and environmental protections. And it must make the case for Scottish - or continued UK- membership of the Single Market." Unite and the RMT have been in dispute with the firm over what the trade unions have described as a "swingeing" proposed pay cut. Unite's ballot had a turnout of 86.6% and 99.1% voted for strike action, while 98.5% of the RMT's turnout of 67% also backed taking the same action. Wood Group said it was "extremely disappointed" by the results. It said it has addressed every significant concern and a resolution to the dispute would safeguard jobs. There are 327 workers involved and most work on North Sea platforms Shearwater, Gannet, Nelson, Curlew, Brent Delta, Brent Alpha, Brent Bravo and Brent Charlie. Wood Group provides maintenance and construction services to the installations, having signed a new three-year contract extension with Shell earlier this year. In February, Wood Group announced it was cutting rates paid to about a third of its UK contractor workforce. It blamed the "continuing cost and efficiency challenges affecting the UK North Sea oil and gas sector". John Boland, Unite regional officer, said talks had failed to find "an acceptable deal" for the workforce in the pay dispute. He said: "We now find ourselves forced down the route of industrial action and in the coming days the workforce will determine the timing and nature of that action. "That said, we remain available for talks should the company wish to consider an alternative offer. "However, any talks must respect the workers and especially with regards to exercising their democratic rights in a dispute situation." Jake Molloy, RMT regional organiser, said employees, who had gone through two rounds of redundancy and were working longer under increased workloads, now faced reductions in their salaries. He added: "The workforce message is clear. Enough is enough and it's little wonder we find ourselves in this situation." Wood Group's Dave Stewart said the company remained committed to reaching a resolution, which would meet a "mutual goal of safeguarding jobs". He said: "We are extremely disappointed with the outcome of the ballot. "Throughout the extensive consultation with our offshore employees we have been fair and transparent, addressing every significant concern that our employees and the unions have expressed." Industry body Oil & Gas UK and Shell said they were disappointed by the outcome of the ballots. Shell's Paul Goodfellow said: "We hope that Wood Group's employees and management can resolve their issues. "Our priority is to ensure that the safety of our people and assets will not be compromised during any industrial action." Samoa scrum-half Fotuali'i, 34, pleaded guilty to a charge of "punching or striking" after an altercation with Dave Ward during the second half. South Africa flanker Louw, 31, was found guilty of tip-tackling scrum-half Charlie Mulchrone in the first period. The pair could make their first-team returns against Saracens on 26 March. Wilshere, who has not yet featured for the Gunners in the new Premier League season, reacted angrily to a tackle from City midfielder Matthew Smith. The England midfielder, 25, pushed Smith to the floor and then grappled with City's Tyreke Wilson. Players from both sides became involved before Wilshere and Wilson saw red. Wilshere, who spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, is fit again after fracturing his lower left leg during the Cherries' 4-0 defeat at Tottenham in April. Having set up one of Arsenal's goals, he was sent off with the Gunners leading 4-1. They won 4-3. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said he "planned" for Wilshere to stay at the club this season, despite him being linked with another loan move. Updated security advice has been given after three explosions damaged the German club's bus on Tuesday. Security expert Will Geddes said while plans were already in place for stadiums, clubs would now be thinking about their modes of transport. "That's where the potential risk is," he told BBC Radio 5 live. "The Stade de France attacks [in November 2015] were a reinforcement that stadiums were always going to be at risk and this goes back years. "Many heads of security will be thinking quite carefully about the transport in the wake of this." All Premier League clubs and other professional sports bodies in Britain were reminded on Thursday to be vigilant about their surroundings, not to advertise intended routes and means of travel, and to prepare a contingency plan if they did not already have one. Geddes, who has run security with several Premier League clubs, said that the UK was "probably ahead" of most countries in terms of security at football stadiums. Dortmund's bus was attacked as the team travelled to the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie at home to Monaco. The game was then played less than 24 hours after the attack, leading Dortmund manger Thomas Tuchel to say his side felt "completely ignored" over the rescheduling. "The most important thing - and I have no doubt they will already have started this - is to provide them and encourage some degree of counselling," Geddes added. "Getting back on the proverbial horse is a good thing to encourage but I wouldn't force individuals to do it." PwC says the £1bn windfall "will alleviate some immediate problems." But the continued absence of a power-sharing government at Stormont puts strategies designed to improve the local economy at risk, it adds. Its latest NI outlook report forecasts economic growth of 1% this year. The supply and confidence arrangement between the two parties to prop up Theresa May's minority government was announced in June. The £1bn extra spending commitment is "a welcome boost", said the report by financial services giant PwC. But partner David Armstrong said issues like "productivity, reform of agri-food and scaling-up the private sector" remain "unresolved". PwC said it was positive that the economy was growing, but that this growth was slowing due to falling consumer spending and "Brexit jitters". Growth in Northern Ireland's economy will slip to 0.9% in 2018, it predicts - well behind the forecast UK growth of 1.4% and the lowest amongst the UK regions. As part of the confidence and supply deal, the DUP agree to back the Conservatives in key votes - such as a Budget and a confidence motion - but are not tied into supporting them on other measures. In return, as well as the obvious influence and prestige of being involved with the UK government, there will also be £1bn more spent on Northern Ireland over the next two years than had previously been planned. They have also got agreement on a range of policy priorities - such as keeping the guarantee to increase state pensions by at least 2.5% a year, to maintain defence spending and to maintain agriculture spending in Northern Ireland at the same level for the rest of the current Parliament (which theoretically takes us to June 2022). The Met Police said detectives from Operation Weeting handed a file on "corporate liability charges" to the Crown Prosecution Service on 23 July. The CPS said it had received a "full file of evidence for consideration". The BBC's Daniel Sandford said it did not mean charges would be brought against News UK but it showed they were still being "actively considered". News UK, formerly News International, was the owner of the NoW, which closed in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal in July 2011. The company, which also owns the Times and the Sun, changed its name in 2013. Royals, celebrities and victims of crime were among those whose phones were hacked by the Sunday newspaper. Operation Weeting is the Metropolitan Police's investigation into phone hacking at the NoW. And when the time came to announce the charges, Loretta Lynch did not mince her words. The United States attorney general said officials at football's world governing body had engaged in "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted" corruption. After just a month in the job, Ms Lynch had landed an enormous punch. Suddenly her face was on TV screens and newspaper pages around the world. The Department of Justice would, she vowed, "root out misconduct" and "bring wrongdoers to justice". It was an extraordinary statement of intent from a woman whose nomination as attorney general had been frustrated for nearly six months as Republican senators blocked her appointment. And it was the payoff for an investigation she had spearheaded for years. Born in 1959 in North Carolina, with the odds stacked against her, Ms Lynch harboured a dream of graduating from Harvard. "As a child she was very inquisitive," her father Lorenzo told the BBC earlier this month. "She asked questions of everybody and about everything." Her dream became a reality in 1981 when she earned a first-class degree in English literature, before switching to law. She joined New York law firm Cahill Gordon and Reindel in the mid-1980s and was appointed as a prosecutor for the city's Eastern District in 1990. Nine years years later, she was US attorney for the district. It was in Ms Lynch's first year as district attorney that she caught her first really high-profile case. Abner Louima, a Haitian, was beaten and sexually assaulted by police officers. Amid a storm of public outrage, she prosecuted the officers involved, one of whom was sentenced to 30 years in prison. On one day, she had to be escorted out of the courtroom by US marshals for her own safety. Ms Lynch left the US Attorney's office in 2001 to become a partner at Hogan and Hartson law firm, where she remained until 2010 when President Barack Obama nominated her to return to her previous job as US attorney for New York's Eastern District. Then in November 2014, Mr Obama nominated her for US attorney general. "If there's an American dream story, Loretta Lynch is it," said Democrat senator Chuck Schumer at the time. In was in her role as district attorney that her involvement in the Fifa investigation began. Over the course of five years in Brooklyn - during which she weathered criticism for striking a deal with HSBC that spared the bank from criminal charges over money laundering - a case against the football officials was pieced together. "We always knew it was going to be a very large case," Ms Lynch told the New York Times. Veins in the network of Fifa corruption alleged by Ms Lynch ran through meeting rooms in the Eastern District and through banking systems across the country, the Department of Justice said. Working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Ms Lynch used those connections to the US to bring the long-awaited indictments. After years of investigating, she stood up at a press conference in New York and boldly accused Fifa officials of "abusing their positions of trust to acquire millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks". It was an extraordinary blow against an organisation that is alleged to have got away with bribery and corruption for more than two decades. "The pantheon of world soccer has a new hero," said Politico's Tunku Varadarajan. "To the names of Pele, Maradona, Cruyff and Messi, add another: Loretta Lynch. The US attorney general, confirmed by the Senate just three weeks ago by the most un-soccer-like score of 56-43, is destined to go down as the most consequential woman in the history of the game." Football fans around the world "should salute her", said the BBC's Matt Slater. It said more than 42,000 people are currently being treated for the disease in Wales. The Dementia Risk Reduction Campaign will be launched on Friday, with a 10-day road show visiting large shopping centres and employers. Its aim is to encourage people to live healthier lifestyles. The campaign follows research by Prof Peter Elwood at Cardiff University, who found a healthier life can reduce a person's risk of getting early onset dementia. His study - over 35 years looking at people in Caerphilly - found a "huge benefit". Last month, the Alzheimer's Society said experts fear numbers of sufferers could rise by 40% in the next 10 years. Dementia is now the leading cause of death in England and Wales, with the charity saying it costs Welsh society £1.4bn a year. One man who has started living a healthier lifestyle is Norman Parselle, 47, from Newport, who lost both his parents to dementia. He joined a walking football club 18 months ago to improve his physical and mental health and said: "Who knows what's around the corner for any of us? "But I do know that lack of physical activity, isolation and depression can contribute to the decline of people with dementia, so keeping fit and active, and socialising with friends may reduce the risk of getting dementia." In Dr Elwood's Caerphilly Cohort Study, he looked at the lifestyle habits of middle-aged men from 1979 to 2014. He monitored factors that contribute to diseases like cancer and dementia, like smoking, diet and exercise. One participant was Leighton Jones, 82, who believes a healthy lifestyle is why he has so far avoided serious health problems, including dementia. He credited his wife's home cooked meals and the couples' lifelong love of physical activity. "Longevity of life is useless unless you have quality," he said. The company said new video matching technology would alert selected content creators if their videos were reposted to Facebook without permission. In August, YouTube star Hank Green wrote a blog criticising the company over its slow response to video piracy. Brady Haran, who runs a collection of YouTube channels, told the BBC he still had questions over Facebook's new approach. Facebook has been trying to grow its video business and in July it announced plans to share advertising revenue with content creators for the first time. But the company has been criticised by prominent video creators such as Mr Green for failing to tackle video piracy. In June, research by advertising agency Ogilvy found that 73% of the most popular videos on Facebook had been ripped from other websites. Announcing its new approach, Facebook said: "Our matching tool will evaluate millions of video uploads quickly and accurately, and when matches are surfaced, publishers will be able to report them to us for removal." The new tool will be available to a "small group of partners" while the company improves the technology. As well as detecting freebooted videos, the BBC understands the tool will be able to detect when small portions of stolen content are used in another video without permission. However, unlike YouTube's content ID system which can block infringing videos automatically, Facebook's system will notify copyright holders and ask them if they want to remove the freebooted video. "It's a daily frustration to see wealthy companies exploit your work without permission," said Brady Haran, whose educational YouTube channels are followed by around two million people. Mr Haran is credited with coining the term freebooting in the Hello Internet podcast he co-hosts. He told the BBC: "The first few hours of a video upload is the golden window when it gets the most views. Any solution requiring notifications and human intervention risks 'closing the gate after horse has bolted'. "Facebook must be aware of this and I'm curious about whether they plan to address it." Facebook said it planned to develop a "comprehensive video management system" and was "committed" to tackling video piracy. The ex-Celtic manager, 44, has arrived at Easter Road on a two-year deal and replaces Alan Stubbs, who has moved to Rotherham United. Stubbs twice failed to gain promotion to the Premiership but did end Hibs' 114-year wait to lift the Scottish Cup. "He has to get them up that first season," Nevin said of Lennon. "I think he will. It is going to be a tough season ahead for Hibs. Another season in the Championship. We have got Dunfermline, Dundee United, Falkirk down there. "It is not going to be easy to get out of that, and that is what his job is going to be. "If they are good enough they will get up and he will go into that pantheon of managers who are dearly loved at Hibernian." This will be a third managerial stint for Lennon following contrasting levels of success during spells at Celtic - where he won five trophies - and financially troubled Bolton Wanderers, who were relegated from the English Championship shortly after he left in March. "He didn't go through good times [at Bolton], but I would not blame that on Neil Lennon," former Chelsea and Everton player Nevin told BBC Scotland. "It just shows how high you can go, and how low you can go in a short period of time if you are a manager. "If he waited much longer, he may well become the forgotten man. He had to get another decent profile job. Oddly enough, I think it is a great fit for him. "He is still quite young, I think there are still opportunities for him out there and he is quite respected by a lot of people down south. It's not last chance saloon but it will really help his profile if he does a good job. "Alan Stubbs did a good job at Hibs and he gets the Rotherham job - and that is the sort of thing Neil Lennon will be thinking about. "As for Hibernian, they have got a manager who knows and understands the Scottish system, understands what kind of club Hibernian are. And also, with a bit of luck for Hibs fans, he will keep that good relationship with Celtic going. "There are players who played for Hibs on loan from Celtic last season who had a massive effect, especially in the Scottish Cup final." That relationship resulted in Anthony Stokes and Liam Henderson spending time on loan at Hibs from Celtic. And Hibs fan Nevin also believes Lennon will use his knowledge of the English Championship to bolster the club's squad. "He must have had a good look at players all around that division," added Nevin. "Maybe one, two or three of them can come up and make the big difference." Lt Cdr Ian Molyneux, 36, was killed as he tried to disarm fellow crew member Able Seaman Ryan Donovan, 22, on HMS Astute as it was docked in Southampton. Southampton City Council leader Royston Smith and chief executive Alistair Neill have received the same honour. They were on the submarine and disarmed Donovan, who was jailed for life after he shot Lt Cdr Molyneux last April. The George Medal is awarded for gallantry not directly in the face of the enemy. Mr Smith and Mr Neill were touring the Royal Navy's hunter-killer nuclear submarine with other dignitaries including Southampton's mayor. Donovan fired six shots from an SA80 rifle in the £1bn submarine's control room while it was at its mooring in the Eastern Docks. Lt Cdr Molyneux, a father of four originally from Wigan, tackled Donovan and was shot in the head at very close range. Mr Smith and Mr Neill have been recognised in the Civilian Gallantry List. They believed the submarine was under terrorist attack, pinned Donovan to the floor and restrained him until police arrived. Looking back on Lt Cdr Molyneux's actions during the shooting Mr Smith said: "It's a just award for the actions he took. He was the first one to intervene and he paid the ultimate price. "It's well deserved, he was a fine fine chap and a great military man and he proved that." In a letter to Lt Cdr Molyneux's widow Gillian, First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope said: "In giving his life to save others Ian demonstrated courage of the highest possible order. "His selfless actions displayed incredible presence of mind and singular bravery." Mrs Molyneux said: "On behalf of myself and our children, I wish to express how extremely proud and humbled we all feel to know that Ian's remarkable bravery has been recognised with such a prestigious award. "Ian is so desperately missed, but his memory will live on through his four beautiful children and in the hearts and minds of all who knew him." The medal citation for her husband said: "Lt Cdr Molyneux, with complete disregard for his own safety, had deliberately made an effort to tackle the gunman, knowingly putting himself into extreme danger in order to try to safeguard others from personal injury. "His actions were incalculably brave and were carried out in the highest possible service traditions of courage and selfless commitment, resulting ultimately in providing just enough disruption to the sentry's intent to enable him to be subsequently overwhelmed and disarmed." Home Secretary Theresa May said Lt Cdr Molyneux acted with "considerable courage and selflessness". "He acted to save the lives of others and sadly he paid the ultimate price." "Councillor Smith and Mr Neill acted in the heat of the moment to ensure what was a terrible incident was not worse and more people were not injured - they were tremendous acts of bravery," she said. The citation for Mr Neill and Mr Smith added: "Both men placed themselves at great risk by choosing to tackle someone who had shot at least two naval officers. "By their actions they prevented further shootings and possible death or injury to others on board the submarine." Donovan, of Dartford, Kent, was jailed for life in September for Lt Cdr Molyneux's murder and the attempted murder of three other officers. Former SNP leader Alex Salmond has secured time on Thursday afternoon to question the UK government over issues raised by a Royal naval submariner. Able seaman William McNeilly, 25, went on the run after alleging Trident was a "disaster waiting to happen". He later handed himself in to police. The navy said the fleet operates under the most stringent safety regime Mr Salmond, the newly-elected MP for Gordon, said the Ministry of Defence must provide detailed answers to the allegations. Incidents included in Mr McNeilly's report, The Secret Nuclear Threat, varied from complaints about food hygiene to failures in testing whether missiles could safely be launched or not. He described security passes and bags going unchecked at the Faslane submarine base on the Clyde, alarms being muted "to avoid listening" to them, and stories of fires starting in missile compartments. Mr McNeilly said he raised these and other concerns through the chain of command on multiple occasions, but that "not once did someone even attempt to make a change". An official investigation was launched after Mr McNeilly, from Belfast, posted his internet report.

Wolsty Banks on the Solway coast is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and home to ground-nesting birds, sand lizards and the rare natterjack toad. Seven hectares of dune grassland were destroyed in a fire on 20 July caused by a discarded disposable barbecue. Environmental experts have been assessing the "long-lasting and horrendous" damage to wildlife. Rose Wolfe, from the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, said: "It is going to take a long time for nature to repair it - up to 10 years in the worst affected areas. "The heat will have been so severe in some parts of the dunes that the roots of the grasses will have been burnt away and will be unable to re-grow immediately." She added: "I can't emphasise enough the danger of using barbecues on the dunes. "I know it's a gorgeous place to sit and picnic, but the risk of fire is just too great."

There are fears the damage caused by a fire at a Cumbria nature reserve could take years to heal.

Planned Parenthood said the claims by an anti-abortion group are false and the foetal tissue is not sold for profit, but donated for research. It is illegal to sell the body parts of aborted foetuses in the US. House Speaker John Boehner urged the White House "to denounce, and stop, these gruesome practices". "When an organisation monetises an unborn child - and with the cavalier attitude portrayed in this horrific video - we must all act,'' Mr Boehner said. The group that filmed the video, the Center for Medical Progress, claimed in a statement that Planned Parenthood was selling body parts of aborted foetuses. "Partial-birth" or late-term abortions - where foetuses are removed intact - are prohibited in most cases in the US. Medically they are known as intact dilation and extraction procedures. Planned Parenthood called those claims "outrageous" and "flat-out untrue" and said the costs discussed in the video were to cover expenses. "At several of our health centres, we help patients who want to donate tissue for scientific research, and we do this just like every other high-quality healthcare provider does," said Eric Ferrero, a spokesman for Planned Parenthood. They say all donations are done in accordance with US laws regarding tissue donation and all patients who provide tissue do so voluntarily. In the hidden camera video, Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical research, discusses providing foetal tissue. She tells the filmmakers - who posed as employees of a biotech firm - that abortion doctors can adjust their methods to leave organs intact. "We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I'm not gonna crush that part, I'm gonna basically crush below, I'm gonna crush above, and I'm gonna see if I can get it all intact," Ms Nucatola said in the video. The governors of Texas and Louisiana have also launched investigations into Planned Parenthood. Several Republican candidates for president - including former Florida Governor Jed Bush and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina - also condemned the organisation. "This isn't about 'choice.' It's about profiting on the death of the unborn while telling women it's about empowerment," Ms Fiorina wrote on Facebook.

The US Congress has launched an inquiry after a video claimed to show a Planned Parenthood doctor discussing the sale of foetal body parts.

The group, one of the UK's "big six" energy suppliers, said its overall revenues were down 7% because of the decline in the UK. E.On also said that the lower value of the pound since the Brexit referendum vote had caused "currency-translation effects". E.On has about 4.6 million UK customers but did not say how many it had lost. Adjusted profit for the first three months of the year - before interest and tax - was just over 1bn euros (£843m), down 34% on the same period a year earlier. After interest and taxes, its adjusted net income was about 525m euros, a fall of 20%. The fall in the value of sterling means that E.On's UK sales are worth less when converted into euros. Chief financial officer Marc Spieker said the first-quarter performance was "in line with our expectations despite a difficult business environment". In March, E.On reported a record €16bn (£13.9bn) full-year loss for 2016, mainly reflecting its move away from generating electricity from fossil fuels and a greater focus on renewable energy.

A fall in the number of UK customers has hit quarterly profits at German energy giant E.On.

The firm, which provides services to the energy and pharmaceutical sectors, also plans to create 114 additional jobs at sites around the UK. Doosan said it was investing £4.5m in the Renfrew facility, which is being backed with £1.5m Regional Selective Assistance from Scottish Enterprise. The new jobs are expected to be phased in around the UK sites by 2018. Doosan Babcock chief executive Andy Hunt said: "The opening of this centre is fantastic news for Scotland and for Doosan Babcock as we seek to grow our process business, creating new roles for British engineers. "The process sector can be a highly complex area to operate in but, thanks to this investment, Doosan Babcock will have the skillset and specialist knowledge to offer customers an integrated engineering and construction service that is unparalleled." Doosan said the opening of the centre was the first step in a plan to almost triple the size of its process business over the next five years. The new department will aim to deliver a "complete service" to companies operating in process industries such as oil and gas, refining, petrochemicals, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. This service will range from concept design through to the construction and handover of new production facilities, as well as the repair, overhaul and upgrade of existing plants. The company aims to engage UK customers and then target international growth opportunities, particularly in regions such as the Middle East. Scottish Enterprise chief executive Lena Wilson said: "Doosan has ambitious plans for expanding its process business on the world stage and it is testament to our key capabilities and skills that Scotland has been selected as the location for such a pivotal part of the company's global growth plans. "The company's decision to locate this new service here is an excellent example of how the support that we and our partners can offer is helping bring new investment into Scotland." Finance Secretary John Swinney added: "This is another sign of confidence in Scotland as a great place to do business and a great place to invest." Joan Edwards passed away in September 2012, aged 90, and left her estate to "whichever government is in office at the date of my death for the government in their absolute discretion to use as they may think fit". This wording however caused some confusion. The executors of the will interpreted this to be a donation to the political party in power, and both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats accepted the donation. The public outcry that followed caused both parties quickly to hand back the money so that it could go to the Treasury. Miss Edwards had been a nurse, so it was argued by many, that her intention must have been for it to go to the NHS. It may never be clear what her true intention was - but what is clear is that the wording used in the will was ambiguous. The second case that has hit the headlines involves an anonymous £500,000 legacy made also to the government in 1928, which came with the strict stipulation that it "could only be used to reduce the national debt to zero". Eighty-five years later and the fund is estimated to be worth £350m, but because the national debt stands at about £1.2 trillion, it cannot be touched. It would in this instance have been helpful for the will to have contained a clause that covered this scenario, or if the wording was a little more clear. When the courts have to rule in cases interpreting a will, there is the "armchair principle" in England and Wales. The court will endeavour to discover the intention of the deceased (the "testator") and by looking at extra evidence submitted. It would therefore place itself in the "armchair" of the testator and consider the circumstances that surrounded them when they made their will, to assist arriving at their intention. The law in Scotland and Northern Ireland may differ and separate legal advice should be sought. Homemade wills need to be very carefully drafted. It can be a false economy to make a homemade will, if your beneficiaries then face a costly legal battle to prove your intentions in court. Strict rules governing the way a will is made and executed mean that errors can be made very easily which can invalidate it. These errors often include not signing the will or having it witnessed correctly. Source: Susan Midha The wording of a will can also be problematic as words and terms have specific meanings in law, which may be different to their use by the testator in their will. There are regularly problems with the naming and the identification of individuals in wills. Referring to people by nickname, or an abbreviated name, may cause confusion. Also be careful if you have family members of the same name. If you are related to two John Smiths but only want one to be a beneficiary, then make sure you specify which one is the true beneficiary. Don't forget to include substitute beneficiaries if someone you name as a beneficiary dies before you - and don't assume that the children of a deceased beneficiary will (or will not) take their parents' share - there are special rules which can apply. Altering your will by crossing out sections or making amendments after it has been signed will usually mean the alterations will be invalid and can lead to conflict within the family which can end up in the courts. And it is worth remembering that your will when proved after your death becomes a matter of public record - which means that any one can look at it and obtain a copy. So references to, for example, "that waste of space who is my son" may be worth avoiding. If your will is judged to be invalid then your estate would be distributed in accordance with an earlier valid will or by the intestacy laws. Your intention may not be for the government to benefit, but if there are no family members to inherit and no will, your estate will usually pass to the Crown, ultimately funding the Queen's activities as head of state.

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

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

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

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

Simeon Akinola handed The Iron the lead with a lobbed finished over Phil Smith. Omar Beckles' header brought the Shots back on level terms as Braintree conceded their first goal in 531 minutes. Aldershot - who have won once since January - secured all three points as striker Ross Lafayette's shot was saved with Nathan Ralph netting the rebound. Braintree fall to sixth, despite being level on points with-fifth placed Dover in the final play-off place after Tranmere's win over bottom-of-the-table Kidderminster. Aldershot Town boss Barry Smith told BBC Surrey: Media playback is not supported on this device "I'm delighted with the way they came back from going a goal down. "We've had a few sore ones recently and I thought their determination, grit and the desire to get themselves back into the game was excellent. "If you lose a goal you always want to score as soon as possible, but we had confidence if we kept doing the right things we would've created other chances. "I thought we got the ball down and played some good stuff at certain spells during the game and limited them to very few opportunities."

Like Labour and the Conservatives, they managed just one seat. Alistair Carmichael won Orkney and Shetland by 817 votes (more about him in a minute). The party is hopeful it can do better this time with its pro-Europe, anti-independence message. There are three key seats the party's strategists will be focusing on (all with female candidates as the party tries to shake off the idea it's dominated by men - all of its MSPs are male). Firstly Edinburgh West. This was the seat won by Michelle Thomson for the SNP last time around - before she withdrew from the party whip amid controversy over property deals. She's not standing this time. The Lib Dems have chosen Christine Jardine as their candidate. The party won the equivalent seat at Holyrood last year and thinks it has a strong ground campaign. They think they can win anti-independence votes from Labour and the Conservatives which may be enough to win them the seat (the Conservatives are standing Sandy Batho, it's expected the SNP will announce their candidate this weekend). Another target is East Dunbartonshire where former junior minister Jo Swinson is trying to win her seat back from the SNP. Last time John Nicolson won by more than 2,000 votes. The Lib Dems are hopeful here too; party strategists think Ms Swinson has "star power" and say donations have been flooding in. But SNP insiders think her record could be a weakness, given that she was a prominent MP during the coalition years. Residents in the constituency can expect to hear a lot on that from the Nationalists in the next six weeks. One other seat they'll be concentrating on is North East Fife. The Lib Dems won the equivalent Scottish Parliament seat (ish, Westminster and Holyrood seats differ in size and scope) last year. Before 2015, they had held it since the 1980s. They've identified this as one to watch this time and have chosen councillor Elizabeth Riches to stand. But the incumbent SNP MP Stephen Gethins has a high-profile as the party's Europe spokesman. He's thought to be confident of keeping this one on 8 June. Finally, the seat they held last time, Orkney and Shetland. After the 2015 result there was a high-profile row over Mr Carmichael's future. It was revealed he'd backed the leaking of a document which suggested Nicola Sturgeon wanted David Cameron to be PM (a claim she furiously denied, and which there is no evidence for). He faced calls to resign and was taken to a special election court by campaigners. Judges say he told a blatant lie about when he knew about the memo in a TV interview, but ruled it wasn't proven beyond reasonable doubt he'd committed an illegal practice. The Lib Dem team are confident they can win it though. They argue attacks on Mr Carmichael were "overcooked" and point to the increased majorities enjoyed by local MSPs at Holyrood elections last year. As noted in this blog though, the SNP say they will be fighting hard to win this and other seats they didn't take last time. * We will have a full list of candidates online after the close of nominations.

The Liberal Democrats were nearly wiped out in Scotland in 2015.

Tianshan Net, the local government news portal, said the incident happened in Shule, in Kashgar prefecture. Xinjiang has seen a spate of attacks in recent months, amid tension between its minority Muslim Uighur population and Han Chinese residents. Chinese authorities have responded with a large security crackdown. Hundreds of people have been arrested and dozens executed, although information about incidents in the region is tightly controlled. Beijing blames the violence on Uighur separatists inspired or supported by overseas extremists groups. Activists say China's policies towards Uighurs are repressive and are fuelling significant resentment. In the latest report, Tianshan Net said residents had reported a man carrying a suspicious device. As police approached him the man tried to attack them and to detonate explosives, but was shot dead, it said. Five other people were then shot dead as they also tried to detonate the explosives. There was no independent confirmation of the report. Uighurs and Xinjiang Who are the Uighurs? The accounts appear to be controlled by bots - automated software - that uses a variety of names and photos. They respond to users' greetings and then engage in a brief conversation before recommending the app and providing a download link. Tinder told Techcrunch news site it was taking steps to remove the accounts. But one security expert said it would be difficult for the firm to stamp out such abuse of its service. Internet Gaming Gate (Igg), the China-based company that publishes the game, said it had taken action to address the problem after discovering the culprit was an advertising publisher registered in the English town of Farnham "Using the information provided in the [Techcrunch] article, we were able to trace the source of the spam bots and narrow [it] down to a few advertising providers within an hour, and firmly requested that all such campaigns be stopped immediately," said spokesman Deyang Zheng. "Igg strives to deliver fun, quality experiences to our players with fairness and utmost professionalism, and we are angered by the unfair and unethical conduct of the individual who was behind this selfish act. Our sincere apologies go to the Tinder users who were affected." Tinder is a free-to-use smartphone app that has seen rapid growth since it launched 18 months ago. People sign up by giving the app permission to access their Facebook account, from which Tinder obtains pictures and information about their interests. Members then select profiles they find attractive. If two people pick each other they can begin messaging each other. At the end of February Tinder's founder, Sean Read, said that the service was generating about 10 million such introductions each day, and that each active user was logging in about seven times over the 24-hour period. This highly engaged user-base presents a tempting target to spammers who now struggle to avoid email junk folders. "Spam is becoming a lot more sophisticated, and to be effective it has to be targeted," explained Alan Woodward, an independent security consultant. "Whittling the process down to writing a unique message for each user would be impractical, so what they try and do is target communities of like-minded people. "People looking for love is a classic example of such a group. There's already a lot of scams and spam targeting people on dating websites, and this is a natural extension of that." Screenshots posted to Twitter indicate that the conversation used by the bots follows the same pattern. After the Tinder member contacts the fake account the software initially says "hey :)". It then asks what the user is doing and replies to the response saying: "I'm still recovering from last night :) Relaxing with a game on my phone, castle clash. Have you heard about it?" Whatever reply the user provides, it prompts the bot to send them a link with an address beginning www.tinderverified.com/ - which appears to be an attempt to make the URL appear trustworthy. The bot then ends the conversation by saying, "play with me a bit and you just might get a phone number". David Short, from Raleigh, North Carolina, said he had been repeatedly targeted. "The Castle Clash bots are beyond annoying, giving you false hope of a potential match," he told the BBC. "It's happened three or four times since I've started, and has me second-guessing girls that are 'too attractive'. At this point, I'm pretty addicted to Tinder, but if they start popping up more and more, it may deter me from using it on a regular basis. " This is not the first time bots have been used to fool Tinder users. Last year cybersecurity firm Symantec highlighted how fake accounts were attempting to convince members to reveal their credit card details. Tinder lets matched users to block each other, allowing affected accounts to break contact with the bots. But Mr Woodward noted that this would not prevent the victims from being targeted again. "If anybody can sign up anonymously it's impossible to prevent this," he said. "Tinder is trying to outsource trust to Facebook, but it's just as easy to sign up to the social network with fake details as anything else." Facebook reported in February that it believed between 4.92 million and 14.76 million of its accounts were "undesirable" fakes created for spam or other purposes that violated its terms of service. The Celtic captain has yet to hold talks with Scotland coach Gordon Strachan, but hopes to be selected for the crucial encounter at Hampden. Brown announced his retirement from international football in August, citing concerns over injury problems. However, he reversed the decision and faced England at Wembley in November. He earned his 52nd cap in last month's World Cup qualifying victory over Slovenia at Hampden, a result which kept the Scots' feint hopes of qualifying for Russia 2018 alive. West Brom midfielder Darren Fletcher assumed the captaincy after Brown elected to withdraw from Scotland duty last year, though the Celtic man reclaimed the armband against Slovenia in Fletcher's absence. Scotland sit fourth in World Cup qualifying Group F, having collected seven points from their first five fixtures. England top the group on 13 points, with Slovakia second on nine points and Slovenia one point ahead of Strachan's side. You can watch the interview with Scott Brown on Football Focus on BBC One, Saturday 8 April at midday. A regional breakdown of installations published by the Stephen Nolan Show on Radio Ulster shows the biggest cluster is around Dungannon, County Tyrone. There are 342 boilers there - about one-in-six of the total. The statistics show the total of 2,128 recipients are split roughly between commercial and farming interests. Around Ballymena and Ballymoney there are 276 boilers. Poultry farmers are heavily represented, accounting for 871 of the installations. The two main clusters are close to Moy Park's processing plants in Northern Ireland, in Ballymena and Dungannon. Poultry farmers use the boilers to heat chicken houses where the birds are reared. Many switched from LPG gas to biomass in recent years. Other areas where there are significant numbers of boilers by postcode include Armagh which has 112 and Omagh which has 82. Last week, Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir said a Moy Park briefing with his officials had raised "issues" about the operation of the RHI scheme. Moy Park later issued a statement but made no reference to those issues. On Monday, the former DETI minister Jonathan Bell claimed under assembly privilege that he had been told DUP special advisers Timothy Johnston and John Robinson had extensive interests in the poultry industry, and that he would not be allowed to reduce the RHI tariff as a result. The DUP later issued a statement of categorical denial on behalf of both men. John Robinson said he had "no personal interest" in the poultry industry. He said two of his brothers were poultry farmers but were not in the RHI. Timothy Johnston said he had "no family connections to the poultry industry". He said he had two brothers in law in the poultry industry but neither had any connection with the RHI. On Tuesday, Mr Bell said he was prepared to repeat allegations he made about the role played by special advisers in the RHI scheme, to a judge-led inquiry. He was speaking during an an opposition debate in the Assembly calling for a public inquiry into the controversial scheme. He also made further allegations about the RHI scheme - suggesting at least one DUP special adviser might have up to eight boilers. The party said it was an "outrageous claim". MLAs later voted for a public inquiry to be called into the controversy in a debate where Sinn Féin were absent. The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme was an attempt by the Northern Ireland Executive to help to increase consumption of heat from renewable sources. But flaws in setting the scheme's subsidy rate left it open to abuse as claimants could earn more cash the more fuel they burned, with the overspend estimated to be about £490m. It has been centre stage in politics in Northern Ireland over the past month, with the resignation of Martin McGuinness as deputy first minister bringing the issue to a head. Sinn Féin's refusal to re-nominate a deputy first minister on Monday left Secretary of State James Brokenshire with no option but to call fresh Assembly elections on 2 March. Former first minister Arlene Foster set up the scheme in 2012 when she was enterprise minister. The 23-year-old Scot has not started a league match for the Blades since 17 October. He started his career with Livingston before moving to Bramall Lane in January 2014, helping the team make the FA Cup semi-final that season. Scougall could make his debut for the Cod Army in Saturday's match against play-off hopefuls Barnsley. The towers, dubbed "Swan Heights", have been recommended for refusal by officers at Reading Borough Council. Developers Lochailort's plans propose 352 apartments of varying sizes along with office, retail and leisure space. Members of the council's planning committee are set to debate the application on 29 April. Plans for the site next to Reading railway station and along Kings Meadow Road were submitted last month and a public consultation closed soon after. The towers could be as high as 28-storeys, standing between 285ft to 321ft (87m to 98m) in height. Officers noted the plans failed to allow space for a proposed mass transport link system between the railway station and nearby Thames Valley Business Park. A failure to provide affordable housing and space for HGVs to load and unload were also noted as reasons to refuse the application. Anxiety is when you worry constantly about things like, 'what class will I be in next year?' There is a voice in your head that keeps on going over and over the same thing. The voice never stops. When I began to feel anxious, I couldn't go out and walk on the pavement without wanting to be on the side by the road because I was worrying constantly that I would push someone into the road. I couldn't do everyday things without worrying. I think I have had anxiety all my life but I couldn't tell people about it because I felt like I had done something wrong. My earliest memory of this was when I was very little and ate a sweet from a pick and mix before paying. It took me forever to tell people about my anxiety but when I did I felt a lot better. I decided to tell people because the guilt of thinking I had done something was eating me up. When I did tell someone, my parents took me to see my local doctor who put me on a list to see someone from the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). During my first appointment I kept my hands crunched up in a ball shape because I was worried about swearing. It took a long time to get better because I found it difficult to accept that the worries and thoughts were not true. But telling people was the best thing I ever did! Activities such as horse riding helped me because they were a good distraction from the anxiety. I was taught some coping strategies such as breathing and ways that I could push the thoughts out of my mind. These strategies help me now to stay in control. My advice is to talk to someone if you are feeling worried - talking will only make it better. Remember that you are never alone and other people know exactly what you are going through. Finally, always smile and never let the condition win - you are all stronger than that. The Emperor arrived in the UK as a refugee, following the Italian occupation of his homeland. Prince Micheal Mekonnen said the people of Bath "took care" of his grandfather after his country was invaded by Italy. "He could not believe how they embraced him and that was very emotional for him," he said. In 1935 Ethiopia was invaded by Mussolini's Fascist forces and a year later the capital Addis Ababa fell. Emperor Selassie fled and made his way to Bath. "He first came to the city for rest and recuperation," said author Keith Bowers, who has written about Selassie's time in Britain. "The government didn't want him in London and he felt Bath was a very regal and royal city; he felt at home here. "He became part of the community and the people of Bath took to him and helped him out," he added. Prince Micheal Mekonnen said "My family came here as refugees...The people of Bath took care of him...if I could hug everyone [in the city] I would do that. "It's wonderful that the people of Bath still remember him." Emperor Selassie was finally restored to the throne in 1941 when British and Commonwealth troops defeated the Italians. He returned to Bath in 1954 and was presented with the freedom of the city. "The image of him parading down the high street inspecting the guard, is one of my favourite images," said Dan Brown, from Bath in Time, who has collected dozens of images of the Emperor's time in the city. "His stay is a little known part of Bath's history." Manchester United youngster McNair, 20, has typically been used by Louis van Gaal as a defender during his occasional outings for his club. However, O'Neill believes midfield could be where McNair's future lies. "I think that's his best position, where we played him," said the Northern Ireland manager. Media playback is not supported on this device O'Neill, without injured trio Chris Brunt, Chris Baird and Corry Evans, utilised McNair in a holding berth behind skipper Steven Davis and Oliver Norwood in Cardiff as Northern Ireland extended their unbeaten run to nine games. "I was really pleased with him," the Northern Ireland boss said. "He was a physical presence but he showed his quality on the ball. "He just needs to get used to playing at this level. I enjoyed him in there in that midfield with Davis and Norwood." McNair has made only nine Manchester United appearances this season and five of those have been from the bench but O'Neill was delighted by the Ballyclare man's sharpness. "It was encouraging to see him play as well as he did for as long as he did," added the Northern Ireland boss. "If you look at Paddy's games in recent weeks, they would have been development games for Manchester United, it's a huge step up and I thought he handled it very well." Media playback is not supported on this device McNair's midfield audition was just one of the experiments O'Neill conducted in the first of four warm-up friendlies prior to this summer's Euro 2016 finals. Kent-born Conor Washington earned his first international cap having scored 15 times in 31 appearances for Peterborough earlier in the campaign prior to joining Championship club QPR. And while he was taken off at half-time after enduring a frustrating opening 45 minutes in international football, O'Neill is confident Washington's mentality fits in with his current group. "He worked hard, was up against a top-class centre-back in Ashley Williams and he will get more opportunities before the summer. "He's got pace and is powerful and he doesn't given defenders a minute, which we need. "Our strength is in our collective work-rate, that comes from our midfield three. Conor fits into that mould of a player. "He has the attributes to fit in and be a Northern Ireland player because of his desire to play, his energy, his work-rate and, as we've seen in club football, he's capable of scoring." Police spoke of Boxing Day "chaos" with motorists having to be rescued and cars abandoned after heavy rain. Rhun ap Iorwerth claimed north west Wales had been "effectively cut off" and called for 2017 drainage work at Aber/Tai Meibion to be brought forward. The Welsh government said flood and coastal risk management was a key priority. "Yet again, the A55 dual carriageway between Bangor and Llanfairfechan has been closed, causing severe travel problems," Plaid's transport spokesman said. "While Plaid Cymru welcomes the Labour Welsh government's commitment to address this recurring problem, we cannot wait until 2017." Four flood warnings remain in place across north and west Wales, along with dozens of flood alerts. Former Welsh Secretary David Jones was also critical after the flooding compounded frustration for motorists who had faced delays due to roadworks in recent months. The Conservative MP for Clwyd West complained via Twitter, saying: "Penmaenbach tunnel misery followed by yet more floods at Aber. Does WAG (Welsh assembly government) give a monkey's about North Wales motorists?" Plaid Cymru AM Alun Ffred Jones was concerned about flooding in the village of Talybont, near Bangor, claiming the Welsh government had refused to fund a Gwynedd council plan which could have prevented it. "This is the second occasion recently where Talybont villagers have had to endure serious flooding and the second time that the A55 has been closed," he said. "The last time this happened, the transport minister at the time - Carl Sargeant - pledged that this would never happen again. "The scheme would cost about £1.5m, which is trivial compared with the £38m that has already been spent on the M4 near Newport. "I demand a fair deal for all parts of Wales where we need to protect our people and their homes." A Welsh government spokesperson said: "We have committed almost £300m over the life of this government including European funding to managing flood risk and we are committing an additional £150m to coastal risk from 2018. "This has included significant investment in north Wales including in flood risk management schemes at Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, Corwen and Beaumaris. "Following these latest incidents of flooding we will work with local authorities to see what additional action can be taken to speed up work to protect homes and motorists while aiming to minimise the impact on road users." Ashley Broomhall, 28, from Whitchurch in Shropshire, walked up and down England's Scafell Pike on Wednesday in four-and-a-half hours. He tackled Snowdon in Wales and Ben Nevis in Scotland last year. After descending Scafell Pike, he came across a hotel where the themed wedding was taking place and was invited in. Mr Broomhall, a member of Star Wars costuming club the 501st UK Garrison, said: "It was Star Wars themed and all they had to show for it was a blow-up stormtrooper and Darth Vader. "They could not believe their luck as a stormtrooper just simply walked on in. "I went into full UK Garrison stormtrooper mode and rushed in to save the day and pose for pictures with the groom and then bride who were just about to get married, and made their day just that little bit special. "Then I had a pint on the house." Mr Broomhall, a seasoned walker of Scotland's hills and mountains, set himself the three peaks challenge to raise money for Cancer Research UK and Lingen Davies Cancer Relief Fund. His mother Janet has had treatment for cancer and his aunt Sue Toms, of Cornwall, is about to have an operation for breast cancer. Last year, Mr Broomhall did 3,560ft (1,085m) Snowdon in Snowdonia and then 4,406ft (1,344m) Ben Nevis near Fort William. At 3,208ft (978m) Scafell Pike in the Lake District was the smallest of the peaks, but Mr Broomhall did not manage to return from its summit in one piece. He said: "The only downside of the whole day was that at some point my thermal detonator slipped off my belt and is currently somewhere on Scafell Pike." In September 2011, it emerged that an inquiry could take up to two years to establish. Current legislation for a statutory investigation limits the time period to between 1973 and 1989. First Minister Peter Robinson previously said widening it with new legislation would take extra time. Margaret McGuckin, of Survivors and Victims of Institutional Abuse, said she was abused at a Sisters of Nazareth orphanage in Belfast from the age of three. She headed the victim's delegation who met Office of the First and Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM) officials at Parliament Buildings. "We're ready and waiting here to go forward to tell our stories," she said. "Many of our stories are in the hands of the police in statements, and I don't really see the sense in going and waiting another four years or so to get the findings of this, and surely the findings are in these statements. "They can make up their minds there and then." In 2009, Stormont assembly members backed the holding of an inquiry into the extent of child abuse in Catholic church and state-run institutions in Northern Ireland. It followed the damning Ryan Report in the Irish Republic which uncovered decades of endemic abuse in some religious institutions. The Stormont executive announced in December 2010 it would hold the inquiry. The event, in City Park, was due to feature street theatre, an aerobatic display, live music and fireworks and begin at 16:45 GMT on Saturday. The council said the show's producer felt the event could not be delivered "safely" in such difficult conditions. A band of heavy rain is forecast for much of northern England on Saturday evening. The city's Christmas lights will still be lit from tonight, the council added. Damon Smith put his homemade device into a rucksack and left it on a Jubilee Line train in October 2016. The 20 year old claimed it was a prank but was found guilty of possession of an explosive substance with intent. Sentencing, the Old Bailey judge told Smith "the seriousness of what you did cannot be overstated". The court heard had the device exploded, it would have gone off as commuters left the North Greenwich station platform. Smith, who has an autistic spectrum disorder, built the device using a £2 clock from Tesco and an al-Qaeda online article on bomb-making. Before sentencing, his lawyer had pleaded with the judge for "mercy" and said the "unique" student had "learned his lesson". But Judge Richard Marks QC said that while Smith was not motivated by terrorism, he was a dangerous offender who had constructed other devices before planting one on the Tube. "I am influenced by your history of preoccupation with weapons and bombs as well as by your condition which makes it difficult for you... to understand and fully appreciate the very serious potential consequences of your actions," he said. He said the student's actions came at a time of heightened fear of terrorism, "an all too timely reminder of which were the events in Manchester". His mother, who he lived with in Rotherhithe, south-east London, said her son was "just a vulnerable little boy who needs help, not prison". "He just made a smoke bomb and the prank went wrong, and now he's paying for it," she said. The former altar boy smiled in the dock as he was sentenced to 15 years in a young offenders' institution with an extended period of five years on licence. Commander Dean Haydon, head of the Met's Counter Terrorism Command, said Monday's attack at Manchester Arena had demonstrated "the horrifying impact a bomb can have". "The bomb Smith made was a viable device, but it failed to detonate, which was our good fortune," he said. Smith grew up in Devon and only moved to London to attend university three months before leaving his homemade bomb on the Tube. An only child who lived with his mother from a young age, he has a form of autism that impairs social communications but not his intelligence. An able student, Smith also displayed a persistent fascination with Islamic terrorism and mass murders. Friends were shown violent propaganda by so-called Islamic State and Smith created YouTube videos of himself using computer games to re-enact infamous real-life mass killings. In a shopping list of the components for his bomb, he had written: "And keep this a secret between me and Allah #InspireTheBelievers." He tried to cover his tracks by shredding the manual and deleting the list from an iPad, but detectives were able to recover them. Dismissing Smith's claim that the device was a "prank" smoke bomb, explosives experts say it was viable and would have caused mass casualties had it been constructed slightly differently. The man was taken to hospital after being pulled from rubble at the property in Cavell Walk, Stevenage. Emergency services were called to the house at about 21:20 GMT on Thursday following reports of an explosion. An investigation is now under way to establish what caused the fire, a police spokesman said. "A possible gas leak is a current line of inquiry," said the spokesman. Members of the public are advised to avoid the area. A spokesman for Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue said: "The first fire pump arrived within five minutes of the call. "Crews were faced with a serious fire affecting the first and second floor of a semi-detached domestic property, which had also been severely damaged by an explosion." The former Cambridge, Coventry and Oldham forward, 31, had scored once in 29 appearances for the League Two side. "We're pretty sure he's broken his ankle - he'll be needing an operation," boss Paul Tisdale told BBC Radio Devon. "There was a big part for him to play at the end of this season, but it looks like we'll have to wait for next year." The 27-year-old former Ipswich Town and Cambridge United player made more than 250 appearances for the Spitfires after joining them in 2012. He helped the club win promotion from the Conference South and scored once in 26 matches for Eastleigh this term. "He's joining a very well-run club with ambition. I'm sure he'll do well," said Eastleigh chairman Stewart Donald. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The trouble began in Bryson Street at about 22:00 BST. The child was arrested after a seven-year-old boy was struck on his arm by a stone. Police said they kept rival factions apart until just before 01:00 BST on Saturday. The 13-year-old has been released on bail. Temporary Supt Bobby Singleton appealed for parents to be aware of where their children are. "CCTV footage of this incident will be reviewed to determine if any further offences have been committed and I would ask that anyone who has any information to assist police with their enquiries to contact officers in Strandtown on 101," he said. "We're concerned not only about the safety of young people in the area, but also the potential for them to get caught up in incidents which could have a serious impact on their futures." Shaun Walmsley, 28, was getting into a cab with prison officers outside Aintree Hospital on Tuesday when he was sprung from custody by two armed men. Merseyside Police arrested a 25-year-old man from Norris Green on Friday on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. He has now been released pending further enquiries, police said. A 27-year-old man and a woman, 26, who were arrested on Thursday on suspicion of assisting an offender were also released on Friday. Walmsley is one of four men serving life sentences for the "vicious and savage" stabbing of Anthony Duffy in 2014. Described as "highly dangerous", he was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 30 years. The 28-year-old fled from outside Aintree University Hospital in a gold Volvo when two armed men ambushed the taxi after his appointment. CCTV images were released showing the moment the armed men threatened prison officers. Detectives said they were working with police forces across the UK and abroad to locate Walmsley, and appealed to members of the public for information. Officers warned people not to approach the escapee as he, or those with him, may be armed. The Lauriston Place building opened as the service's headquarters in 1824 and currently houses The Edinburgh Museum of Fire. Despite a campaign against the move, the museum will move to a new purpose-built location. The fire building will form part of Edinburgh College of Art's plans to transform the area into a hub for arts. Stuart Bennett, Edinburgh College of Art's acting principal, said: "We are very pleased to have been selected as the preferred bidder and look forward to breathing new life into this iconic building. "We will now begin the process of planning for a sympathetic refurbishment that can fulfil its potential as part of a world-class college of art, of which the city of Edinburgh can be justifiably proud." Sarah O'Donnell, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service's director of finance and contractual services, said: "We are delighted that this important building will transfer to the care of the University of Edinburgh. "They share our understanding of the building's past and will ensure it remains an important part of Edinburgh's heritage long into the future. "We will shortly announce plans for an exciting new home for the Museum of Fire that will underline our commitment to the continued promotion of Edinburgh's pivotal role in the history of fire and rescue." Wales started training for last year's World Cup on 15 June 2015 and play in Dunedin on Saturday before a break. World Rugby wants to introduce a streamlined global season to safeguard players against injury from overwork. "It's the modern game - it's tough, there's no doubting that," he said. Saturday's game will be Wales' 18th since August 2015, a run which started with three World Cup warm-ups before five matches at the World Cup between September and October. Warren Gatland's side played five Six Nations games in February and March, followed by five summer fixtures. Wales' players also played club rugby in the 2015-16 season when they were not on international duty, with the Pro12 domestic season ending in May. Former Wales and British and Irish Lions fly-half Jenkins says it is difficult for players to be at their best at the end of such a long campaign. "I think when you play a World Cup for the southern hemisphere guys generally they have a rest at the end of it whereas for our guys it's straight back into it, whether that be European Cup, Six Nations after it and obviously a summer tour," he said. "Likewise now for you guys, when you're coming up to us at the end, up to the northern hemisphere in November, it's not easy. "It's quite tough to play for this length of the season and play at the levels that is expected of the players." Wales, without a win over New Zealand since 1953, are looking to avoid a tour whitewash with the All Blacks having a decisive 2-0 series lead after last weekend's 36-22 victory in Wellington. Gatland's side will have a break after the third Test match in Dunedin - the next internationals are in November, though the 2016-17 Pro12 season starts in September. World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont has made a global calendar one of his priorities and is hoping to move the Six Nations to April as a means of reducing some of the stress on northern hemisphere players. Italy coach Conor O'Shea has previously said he is "hugely worried" about the pressure that players and their bodies are put under. But Jenkins feels there is still plenty of work to be done before a synchronised world rugby calendar is introduced. "Global season? Maybe that will happen, who knows," he said. "There's a lot of restructuring, a lot of talk I'm sure to go on to finalise that." Paintings by Picasso, Monet and Matisse were among the artwork stolen from Rotterdam's Kunsthal museum. Olga Dogaru admitted last week to torching the artwork to "destroy evidence" after her son's arrest. The art is valued at between 100m and 200m euros ($130m- $260m, £86m-£172m). The missing works include Monet's Waterloo Bridge, Picasso's Harlequin Head, Matisse's Reading Girl in White and Yellow and Lucien Freud's Woman with Eyes Closed. Forensic specialists found "small fragments of painting primer, the remains of canvas and paint", as well as some copper and steel nails that pre-dated the 20th Century in Mrs Dogaru's oven, the director of Romania's National History Museum told the Associated Press news agency. However, Ernest Oberlander-Tarnoveanu refused to say definitively whether or not the burnt remains were from the seven stolen paintings. He said that if this were proved to be the case, it would be "a crime against humanity". Mrs Dogaru reportedly claimed last week to have hidden the artwork in an abandoned house, as well as in a cemetery in the village of Caracliu. She said she dug them up and incinerated them after police began searching her village. "I placed the suitcase containing the paintings in the stove. I put in some logs, slippers and rubber shoes and waited until they had completely burned," the Romanian Mediafax news agency reported her as saying. Six Romanians have been charged with involvement in what was the biggest art theft in the Netherlands since 20 works disappeared from Amsterdam's Van Gogh museum in 1991. They go on trial next month. Forensic specialists have been analysing the ashes since March and are expected to submit their findings to prosecutors next week, Mr Oberlander-Tarnoveanu said. The village of Imber is normally closed to the public as it is in a military training zone on Salisbury Plain. More than 100 people attended a service at St Giles Church, in Imber, on Salisbury Plain. On Sunday, a full peal of the bells was rung which took some two-and-a-half hours to complete. It is the fifth time a full peal has been rung since a new set of six bells was re-hung in August 2010, after the original bells were taken out in 1950. The entire civilian population of the village was ordered to leave in December 1943 to provide a training area for American troops preparing for the invasion of Europe during World War II. They were never allowed to return. Since 2005, when the church was taken over by the Churches Conservation Trust, more than £300,000 has been spent on renovations. The Flower campaign aims to raise awareness of the importance of the routine test, which can detect cells that could turn into cancer. About 1,000 flowers were used to decorate the wall and then given away to women throughout Saturday. Behind the flowers was the phrase "Nip It In The Bud". This slogan features in the cervical screening campaign by NHS Health Scotland and the Scottish government. Scots broadcaster Storm Huntley is backing the initiative. She said: "There's still a lot of fear and embarrassment surrounding smear tests and as a result too many of us aren't getting checked out. "I hope this campaign will get people talking about cervical screening and how important it is that we all make time for our regular smears. "I admit, going for a smear is not something I look forward to, but the consequences of not going could be much worse." Six women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every week in Scotland, and it is the most common cancer in women aged 25 to 35. But figures show that one in three women in this age group do not go for their smear test when invited. Campaigners say the five-minute test is the best way to protect women from cancer, helping to save around 5,000 lives a year in the UK. Christine Paterson, a practice nurse at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said: "No-one looks forward to a smear appointment, but I want to reassure women that we're trained to make the test go as smoothly as possible. "I've done hundreds of smear tests and afterwards, most women - especially those that it's their first time - are surprised by how quickly it's all over. "Don't ignore your next smear invite, and if you missed your last smear test, contact your GP practice to find a time that suits you." It's not meant to be easy - we think anyone getting more than 70% has either done a reverse image search or has a great career ahead of them in pub quizzes.

South Yorkshire Police has not released any further details of those arrested. Five people previously arrested in connection with the shooting have been released on bail. Naresh Tewani, from Jodhpur in north India, tweeted Ms Swaraj asking for help, after his Pakistani bride Priya Bachchani's visa was delayed. The minister ensured that all 35 members of Ms Bachchani's family got visas to attend the wedding on Monday. The couple have thanked Ms Swaraj for helping them at a time tensions are running high between the countries. The two families said that they hoped that the minister's gesture would help ease ties. India and Pakistan accuse each other of increasing hostilities along the Line of Control, the de facto border that divides disputed Kashmir. "Love triumphs ultimately. Love prevails in both the countries and that's why we are here," the bride's father, Giridharlal Bachchani, told BBC Urdu's Shakeel Akhtar. The groom's father said he was relieved after facing "some nervous weeks due to visa delays". The ball started rolling only when the groom directly sought Ms Swaraj's help. The minister, who is known for her prompt replies on Twitter, did not disappoint him: Media playback is not supported on this device to capture a record 17th Grand Slam triumph - his first since January 2010. But he said the modern era meant players were under more pressure to chase records. "I don't feel better than anyone, because we need past champions to pave the way for our generation and we have become very professional," he said. "They have led the way and inspired myself and other players to chase the big records out there. "Back in the day they weren't doing that, they were just playing to play tennis. Things have changed dramatically with the press reminding us 'you should do this and win that and you'll be considered the greatest of all time'. "And anyway I don't think you can compare different eras in tennis." Victory means Federer has emulated Pete Sampras and William Renshaw by capturing seven men's singles titles at the All England Club. And it took the 30-year-old back to the top of the world rankings, defying critics who had suggested he was past his best. "I knew how close I was for the last few years but some people didn't quite see that," he said. "I think the belief got me to victory today, and almost two other ones in the last couple of years as well." Federer had endured a 30-month wait for his 17th Grand Slam title, having last won a major at the 2010 Australian Open, where he beat Murray in straight sets. "I think it was a time where I just had to believe that things were going to turn around for me," he said. "I think I'm playing some of the best tennis of my life right now." Last year's showing at the All England Club was a low point for Federer, going out in the quarter-finals to Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Murray, having had a shot at sporting immortality, will be haunted by this one for a while. But while it will be of little comfort to him now, another rather different battle might finally have been won. Read Tom's latest blog by clicking here But he admitted his winning return, and record-equalling seventh SW19 triumph, had come as a relief. "When it all happened I was just so happy that it was all over and that the pressure was gone, basically," he said. "I guess that came due to the tough loss I had here last year. There were a couple of tough moments for me over the last couple years." And Federer had words of comfort for his beaten opponent Murray, who is still striving for an elusive first Grand Slam title despite reaching four finals. "I really do believe he will win Grand Slams, not just one," he said. "I do wish him all the best. This is genuine. He works extremely hard. He's as professional as you can be. "Things just didn't quite turn out for him in the finals liked he hoped for. But today I'm sure he got another step closer to a Grand Slam title." He was speaking on the BBC's World on the Move day on migration issues. Sir Richard also warned against offering visa-free travel to Turkish nationals, describing the move as like storing gasoline near a fire. Earlier, UN special envoy Angelina Jolie Pitt warned the humanitarian system for refugees was breaking down. She spoke of a "fear of migration" and a "race to the bottom" as countries competed to be the toughest to protect themselves. BBC News World On The Move is a day of coverage dedicated to migration, and the effect it is having on our world. A range of speakers, including the UNHCR's special envoy Angelina Jolie Pitt, and former British secret intelligence chief Sir Richard Dearlove, have been setting out the most important new ideas shaping our thinking on economic development, security and humanitarian assistance. You can follow the discussion and reaction to it, with live online coverage on the BBC News website. Live coverage as it happenedatest from day of sSpecial BBC coverage What's the story with migration? Latin America's affluent capital Technology lures ex-pats back to Vietnam 'We need to defend mobility online' Women risking it all to flee Syria Uganda: "One of the best places to be a refugee" Sir Richard said the numbers of immigrants coming into Europe over the next five years could run into millions. The crisis could reshape the continent's geopolitical landscape, he said. "If Europe cannot act together to persuade a significant majority of its citizens that it can gain control of its migratory crisis then the EU will find itself at the mercy of a populist uprising, which is already stirring," he added. He described the UK referendum on leaving the EU as "the first roll of the dice in a bigger geopolitical game". Sir Richard warned against a deal with Turkey to allow visa-free travel to the EU to its citizens in exchange for controlling migration to the EU. He said it was "perverse, like storing gasoline next to the fire we're trying to extinguish". Talks between the Turkey and the EU over the deal have currently stalled over the former's refusal to amend its anti-terror laws. The former head of MI6, which gathers intelligence abroad for the UK government, said €1.8bn (£1.4bn) allocated by the EU to address the root causes of migration in Africa made "much more sense" than a deal with Turkey but was not nearly enough. The only answer was a "massive response" of this kind combined with a "much more aggressive operation along the North African coast", he added. But Sir Richard cautioned against shutting the door on migration altogether. "In the real world there are no miraculous James Bond-style solutions," he said. "...Human tides are irresistible unless the gravitational pull that causes them is removed." Speaking earlier in the day, Ms Jolie Pitt said that more than 60 million people - one in 122 - were displaced globally - more than at any time in the past 70 years. "This tells us something deeply worrying about the peace and security of the world," she said, adding: "The average time a person will be displaced is now nearly 20 years." Ms Jolie Pitt said the "number of conflicts and scale of displacement had grown so large" the system to protect and return refugees was not working. Save the Children is calling for greater international commitment to ensure child refugees remain in school. The charity's new report, A New Deal for Refugees, says only one in four refugee children is now enrolled in secondary school. It is calling on governments and aid agencies to adopt a new policy framework that will ensure no refugee child remains out of school for more than a month. It is an ambitious target but there is growing concern that this migration crisis is producing a lost generation of children which means conditions for even greater insecurity and poverty. Are more people on the move? Migrant crises through history A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. The 67-year-old was giving evidence to the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry (HIA) about St Patrick's Training School in Belfast . He said when he first heard "the vile accusations against these men, I was completely stunned". He said he did not not know how to repay them for their guidance. "As opposed to facing charges or courts, I consider that we should be awarding them the highest honour for their contribution to society," he said. The pensioner was a resident in the west Belfast school in the 1960s. Earlier, the De La Salle Order challenged claims of sexual and physical abuse by another former resident at St Patrick's. The man, who is now 68, said he suffered serious sexual assaults and claimed the school had "a very violent regime". He also claimed he was sexually abused during trips away from the school. However, the order has told the inquiry that, in a number of instances, the names of alleged abusers provided by the witness were of people who were not at the training school at the time. The inquiry also heard of inconsistencies between some evidence provided by the witness to the inquiry and to police. The man has lodged a civil claim against the De La Salle Order. The HIA inquiry was set up in 2013 to investigate child abuse in residential institutions in Northern Ireland over a 73-year period, up to 1995. In total, the inquiry is expected to hear from more than 300 witnesses during the course of the public evidence sessions. It is required to complete its hearings and all investigative work by mid-summer 2016, and has to submit its report to the Northern Ireland executive by 17 January 2017. Earlier this week state media reported the incident in Luntai county but gave the death toll as two. On Thursday a state news portal said 40 "rioters", six civilians and four police officers were killed. No reason was given for the delay in reporting. Violence has been escalating in Xinjiang in recent months. The region in China's far west is home to the Muslim Uighur minority group. Tensions exist between the Uighur community and the Han Chinese. The regional government's news portal, Tianshan, said that blasts occurred around 17:00 on Sunday at two police stations, an outdoor market and a shop entrance. The "rioters" either blew themselves up or were shot dead by police, it said. Fifty-four civilians were injured and two "rioters" were captured, it said. Why is there tension between China and the Uighurs? Tianshan named the main suspect as Mamat Tursun, saying he "had been operating as an extremist since 2003". Confirming reports about incidents in Xinjiang is difficult, because access is tightly controlled and information flow restricted. China blames incidents on Uighur extremists inspired and supported by overseas terror groups. Uighur activists say oppressive Chinese rule is fuelling anger and violence in local communities. There have been high-profile, organised attacks on civilians in Kunming and Urumqi that have left dozens of people dead. There have been other incidents of which less is known. In July violence left 96 people dead in Xinjiang's Yarkant. State media say it was a "terror attack" but activists say police opened fire on people protesting against a Ramadan crackdown on Muslims. The latest incident came as China tried Ilham Tohti, a prominent Uighur academic seen outside China as a moderate voice who promoted dialogue between Beijing and the Uighurs. He has since been jailed for life for separatism, a verdict strongly condemned by the US. Rodney Parade, the Exiles' home that they share with rugby sides Dragons and Newport RFC, is having a new Desso pitch installed after the Welsh Rugby Union takeover of the Dragons. The Football League [EFL] has agreed to postpone home games until 26 August. The schedule will be announced on 21 June. Clubs can reverse fixtures to face Newport, or opt for postponements. The EFL seasons begins on the weekend of 4-6 August. Newport will also play away from home in the first round of the Carabao Cup. In the event of Newport being drawn at home, the EFL has agreed to reverse the fixture. The playing surface at Rodney Parade has been a long-discussed issue and is widely considered to be one of the worst in the Football League. Three Exiles fixtures were abandoned or postponed at Rodney Parade during the 2016/17 season. "Last season we had our issues with the pitch. So the fact that the FL have agreed to work with us and support us in what we have asked of them with the fixtures, is great," Newport chairman Gavin Foxall told BBC Wales Sport. "We'll go from having what was I think termed as the worst pitch in League Two to probably one of the best playing surfaces in League Two. "It's for everybody. We look like we are going to go from having a parks pitch of last year to one of the best playing surfaces which is great for the players and the fans." Angela Scott commissioned a secret report into practices at the city's Hazlehead crematorium. But she did not include herself in its terms of reference. Ms Scott showed the report to councillors on Wednesday, but then took it back citing legal advice. The authority has now confirmed that she asked for the investigation to examine managers' actions only up to director level. That excludes the part played by Ms Scott and her predecessors. A council spokesman said the terms of reference came from the recommendations of two previous reports. But North East Conservative MSP Ross Thomson said it was wrong that the most senior managers, who set the culture of the organisation, were excluded. And Paul Wells, whose son's ashes were not returned after being cremated at Hazlehead, said he was surprised because "it was meant to be an open, transparent investigation, looking at everything." BBC Scotland revealed in 2013 that no ashes had been offered to the families of infants cremated in Aberdeen over a five-year period. Baby and adult ashes were mixed together and given back to relatives of the adult, while the parents of infants were told there were no ashes. It followed similar revelations about Mortonhall crematorium in Edinburgh, which had been secretly burying baby ashes in secret for decades. A report into the scandal by Dame Elish Angiolini described the practices as "abhorrent". The council director responsible for Hazlehead, Pete Leonard, did not attend Wednesday's council meeting to discuss the secret report. He was said to be on annual leave. Christopher Heslip, 54, from Mountain Road in Kilkeel had the correct licence but twice breached Isle of Man fisheries conditions in 2016. Mr Heslip admitted an offence of exceeding queen scallop catch limits and fishing during curfew periods at Douglas courthouse. Deputy High Bailiff Jane Hughes gave credit to his early guilty plea. The court heard the skipper had caught queen scallops valued at around £13,000 in Manx waters, which he was not entitled to do. Mr Heslip said a plotter on board his vessel was broken, so he had to depend on less reliable radar to chart his position and thought he was outside the island's 12-mile limit. Environment Minister Geoffrey Boot said the size of the fine demonstrates how seriously the Isle of Man views fishing conservation. Mr Boot said: "The queen scallop fishery is worth millions of pounds to the island's economy and supports hundreds of jobs. "This skipper was one of very few eligible to fish this restricted fishery and he demonstrated blatant disregard for the island's conservation measures". The maximum fine under the Fisheries Act 2012 is £50,000. Sgt Alexander Blackman received a life term in 2013 for murder, but his conviction was reduced to manslaughter. The 42-year-old from Taunton, Somerset, has served more than three years of a seven-year sentence. Judges at the Court Martial Appeal Court were told he had a recognised mental illness at the time of the killing in September 2011. Blackman - who was known as Marine A during the original trial process and fully identified when he was convicted - was serving his sentence at Erlestoke Prison, near Devizes, Wiltshire. His original murder conviction was quashed in March, after the hearing was told he had a recognised mental illness when he committed the offence. Blackman's appeal hearing came after his wife Claire led a campaign alongside author Frederick Forsyth and the Daily Mail newspaper.

Ancient settlements were found on the nature reserve off the Pembrokeshire coast using a number of techniques, including taking "X-rays" of the land. Tests on a mound of stones used for cooking date one site to around 500 BC. Experts from the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) said the island appears to have been "well settled and farmed". Skomer, famed for its bird life and particularly its puffins, also has some of the best preserved prehistoric field systems and hut settlements anywhere in Britain. A geophysical survey carried out in 2012 used technology to measure through the earth, creating an "X-ray" picture of what is under the ground. It found that unrecorded prehistoric fields and settlements survive beneath the modern fields in the centre of the island. In April 2014 a small team had permission to cut an excavation trench at a prehistoric mound of burnt and fire-cracked stones outside the remains of a roundhouse on north Skomer. Such mounds are found at these dwellings as the stones were heated in a fire and then dropped in a trough of water to bring it to boil for cooking purposes. Dr Toby Driver from the RCAHMW said: "Despite half a century of modern archaeological interest, we still had no scientific dates for the roundhouses and fields on Skomer. "Our excavation discovered a cattle tooth from within the mound of stones, which has now been radiocarbon dated to the late Iron Age. "Beneath the mound we found a sealed land surface containing Neolithic or Bronze Age worked flint tools. "A second radiocarbon date from blackthorn charcoal in the upper soil layers gave an early Iron Age date." The tests - dating the mound to between 520-458 BC - are accurate to within 62 years, he said. Dr Driver added: "These new dates confirm pre-Roman settlement on Skomer. "Even so, the burnt mound covers a substantial earlier field wall showing that the island was already well settled and farmed in previous centuries." Arthur Simpson-Kent, 48, appeared at an extradition hearing in Accra. He said he voluntarily submitted and would have returned to the UK previously had he not been arrested. He left the UK on 19 December following the deaths of his former partner Ms Blake, 43, and their two young sons, Zachary, eight, and four year-old Amon. During the hearing he told the court he had not travelled to Ghana to run away and was not fleeing justice. He was arrested at a Ghanaian beach resort on 9 January. Ms Blake, who had motor neurone disease, and her sons died from neck and head injuries, post-mortem tests found. She played Frankie Pierre in 56 episodes of EastEnders between 1996 and 1997. The Metropolitan Police launched a murder investigation after Ms Blake, who was last seen in public on 13 December, was found buried in the garden of the family home in Erith, with the two children, on 5 January. The Met has been criticised over delays in its investigation which the police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, is investigating. Six of the seven councils that make up the North East Combined Authority voted in favour of the plan. Only Gateshead Council voted against the move and there are fears it could lose out on millions in investment. The new authority will give regional figureheads power over transport, planning and employment policies, Chancellor George Osbourne has said. People will choose a directly-elected mayor in 2017. The deal is part of the government's Northern Powerhouse programme to help towns and cities in the North of England compete with those in the South for investment. The North East Combined Authority represents Labour-led Durham County Council, Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside and Sunderland. £30m Budget new North East authority would have for economic investment 6 Of the seven councils have agreed to the plan including Durham, Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Northumberland and Sunderland. Gateshead rejected it 2017 Year elections would be held for a new mayor Luke Walton, BBC Political Correspondent Today's vote poses the question: can a new system for running the North East work with a Gateshead-sized hole in the middle? So far six councils from Northumberland to Durham have agreed to be part of a mayoral authority - headed by a directly-elected mayor working alongside the six council leaders. That will control a £30m a year investment fund, have a say over Whitehall and EU expenditure in the region, and have powers over local transport, economic development, training and planning. But Gateshead is still planning to opt out of the city-region mayor, a position that has led to warnings the town could miss out on government investment as result. That said, this afternoon its outgoing Labour leader, Mick Henry, talked of continuing "open dialogue" with ministers on the devolution plan. That would seem to suggest there is still a chance of Gateshead opting back in to the plan in return for a better deal from Government. Otherwise, it seems the rest of the region will press on with plans for mayoral elections in May 2017, and Gateshead faces potential isolation. In 2004, more than three-quarters of voters in a North East referendum rejected the government's plans for an elected regional assembly. Greater Manchester and Sheffield have signed up to having a directly elected mayor. Alexandra Jones, chief executive of Centre for Cities, an urban economics think tank, said: "The North East mayor would be operating at a much bigger level, with the position comes power - power over transport and housing and with it comes money the government has already agreed too. "But it also brings profile - a person batting for the North East with national governments and investors and that kind of profile has a strong mandate. "It will really benefit the area. The mayor offers more of a chance to make decisions at a local level rather than them being taken in Whitehall where they don't really know the area. "It will be complicated without Gateshead - lots of negotiations on transport and how this is going to work. However, in the future Gateshead may decide to be in it." Roy Mason was Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and Secretary of State for Defence in the 1970s and held other government posts during his career. The ex-miner was also MP in Barnsley, South Yorkshire between 1953 and 1987. Lord Mason is understood to have died on Sunday after a long period of ill-health, having suffered a stroke about eight years ago. Dan Jarvis, Labour's candidate for Barnsley Central, tweeted he was a "great servant to Barnsley and the country". Lord Mason joined the House of Lords in 1987 having represented Barnsley Central between 1983 and 1987. He was previously the MP for Barnsley for 30 years from 1953. Analysis: Gareth Gordon, BBC Northern Ireland political correspondent Roy Mason was an old-style Labour politician who rose to become a cabinet minister, serving as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland from 1976 to until 1979. He told the Labour Party conference that Northern Ireland had had enough of initiatives, white papers and legislation for the time being, what it needed was to be governed firmly and fairly. It was an approach that helped alienate nationalists. The former SDLP leader Gerry Fitt accused Roy Mason of "going native" as far as unionists were concerned. As a result Lord Fitt said he could not back Labour in the no-confidence vote in March 1979, which saw them lose power by one vote, saying his conscience could not allow him to vote for a government that retained Roy Mason as secretary of state. Mr Jarvis said: "Roy was a formidable man, a pillar of our community and a giant of the Labour movement. "He began his working life going down a mine at the age of just 14. "His incredible journey and the courage and conviction with which he served the public are testament to the values that Roy fought for all his life." He also praised Lord Mason's work in Northern Ireland at "the height of the Troubles". Len Tingle, BBC Yorkshire's political editor, said as defence secretary under Harold Wilson Roy Mason oversaw one of the most comprehensive reviews of the strength of the armed services since World War Two. "His review provoked outrage from the military but was seen by many commentators as part of a long-overdue modernisation process", he added. Lord Mason is survived by his wife Marjorie and two daughters. City's website describes 2014-15 as "the most successful financial year in the club's recent history" as revenue rose from £31.2m in 2013-14 to £104.4m. Average attendances also increased from 25,003 to 31,693 in their first season in the top flight for a decade. The Foxes currently top the Premier League table by three points. The Ceredig and Meurig wards at Bronglais Hospital in Aberystwyth have been temporarily closed. Hywel Dda University Health Board said the hospital was also experiencing an increase in patients attending its A&E department. Infection control measures have been put in place. Officers said it appeared that the men worked together to distract staff, allowing one of them to steal from behind the counter. The three men ran from the premises following the theft and were last seen running along Aberfoyle's Main Street. The theft took place on Tuesday afternoon at about 13:00 and the suspects were captured on CCTV. The three men were all white, with the first described as aged between 40 and 50, 5ft 7in tall, of heavy build, clean shaven and wearing a black baseball cap. The second male was described as between 20 and 30, 6ft, slim, with collar-length brown hair, wearing jeans and a jacket and of "scruffy" appearance. The third male was about 40 and heavily built. A Police Scotland spokesman said: "The inquiry so far has the three suspects on CCTV outside the post office before they enter, and a short time later running along Main Street on the footpath. "It is not known if the three got into a car to leave the village." Fulham went ahead through Kevin McDonald's back-post header in a first half they dominated, with Floyd Ayite and Scott Malone forcing great saves from Albion keeper David Stockdale. But Sam Baldock's impressive volley from the edge of the box levelled the scores early in the second half. Glenn Murray secured the points with a cushioned volley from Baldock's cross. Brighton's win - coupled with leaders Newcastle's first loss in over two months - meant Albion closed the gap on the Mapgies and stayed four points clear of third-placed Reading. Fulham will be disappointed not to have made more of their good first-half showing as they repeatedly opened up the home side's defence. But after the break Brighton hit their stride following Baldock's impressive volley from Anthony Knockaert's ball into the box and he later hit the post with a deflected shot from Shane Duffy's header down. Albion fans did not have to wait much longer for a second, though, as the unmarked Murray, the Championship's second-highest scorer this season, got his 11th goal of the season by sweeping home Baldock's excellent ball. Brighton manager Chris Hughton: "They were better than us in the first half because we gave them too much room and we were pleased when half-time came. "But it shows the character of the team that, despite not being at our best, we were able to fight our way back and that is what you need when you are up there challenging. "It was an important win because it was unexpected for Newcastle to lose, and one thing I still feel is that the team closest to Newcastle in the table at the end of the season will have a really good chance of going up." Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic: "It was an ugly afternoon for us. We should be going back to London with some points, but we paid the price for not taking our chances and they were more clinical. "They made only half-chances - the complete opposite of what we made in the first half. If you don't score, you need to concentrate defensively and we didn't. "What's important here is that we don't change our attacking philosophy, continue to be brave and believe in each other." Match ends, Brighton and Hove Albion 2, Fulham 1.

Some 2,604 grass fires, about eight in 10, were started on purpose in 2015-16, according to Welsh Government figures. This was up from the 1,968 deliberate fires started in the 12 months before. In April 2015, children as young as 11 were arrested after hundreds of blazes destroyed acres of countryside in south Wales. Two people were injured during the deliberate fires. The annual figures showed: The report said the highest number of grass fires were started in April 2015, when fire crews attended 1,487 grass, woodland and crop blazes - more than double the number in the same month in 2014. There were calls for tougher penalties for arsonists following the spate of fires on land in Newport, Caerphilly, Rhondda and Port Talbot last spring. The report suggested good weather was likely to have been a factor, with Met Office data showing there was 50% more sunshine in April 2015 than in the same month in 2014, and about half the amount of rain. 8 June 2016 Last updated at 09:07 BST They were chatting to Martin who was putting your questions to the Springwatch presenters. They told Newsround all about the Hobby, a type of small falcon. The team are trying to spot the bird of prey as it migrates back to the UK for Summer. Watch the video to find out more. Damage included smashed windows, graffiti and stolen metal, according to figures obtained by the party through freedom of information laws. The total could be higher as some councils did not provide figures. The Scottish government said any vandalism in schools was "totally unacceptable". The bill for repairs was highest in Fife, where £158,000 was spent, followed by Aberdeen (£143,000), Falkirk (£122,000) and North Lanarkshire (£119,000). Several councils, including Scotland's largest - Glasgow - said they were unable to supply figures. Scottish Conservative chief whip John Lamont said: "Vandalism of any kind is completely unacceptable, but to inflict schools with this type of behaviour is even worse. "These are supposed to be places of learning for future generations, but instead too many criminals see them as fair game for hooliganism. "There is also a cost to the taxpayer, and that is money that could be reinvested in a far better way, not least in education. "Perhaps security could be improved in these schools to ensure money can be saved in the long term." A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "The overwhelming majority of pupils in Scotland's schools are generally well-behaved. "However, any vandalism inflicted on schools is totally unacceptable and we continue to work with schools, local authorities and through curriculum programmes to improve behaviour and respect in schools further." A spokesman for the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla) said: "Sadly, schools are no different to other buildings or areas in that there is, on occasion, some vandalism. "However this has to be seen in the context of the number of children in our schools and the number of people who access them in terms of using them as a community facility. "There are over 700,000 pupils in our schools and on the whole violence and vandalism is rare. "However, councils have procedures and policies in place for dealing with both when they occur. "Schools in Scotland are generally extremely safe and pleasant places for our young children to undertake their learning experience." Source - Scottish Conservative Party The museum honours the famous regiment which was amalgamated in 1994 to become part of the Highlanders, with Prince Charles its last colonel-in-chief. It has seen business from energy firms suffer amid the oil price downturn. The museum relies heavily on income from oil and gas firms, for events such as conferences, training days and dinners. The award-winning attraction - which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year - has suffered an 80% drop in profits, despite a rise in visitor numbers, and tours last year which involved children from more than 50 schools. The museum said it needed to raise £100,000 a year for the next three years to keep it going. An official campaign will be launched next week. The museum re-opened in 2006 after a £1.2m refurbishment. Sources in local government have said they are very disappointed by the move. Earlier this year, there was a huge change in local government. The old 26 local authorities were replaced by 11 so-called super-councils. The councils got some new powers, including planning and economic development. They were also supposed to get responsibility for regeneration schemes in April next year. But now Social Development Minister Mervyn Storey has said that is not going to happen. Mr Storey said a number of fundamental policy issues have been raised, which have made the timetable for legislation extremely challenging. His department is to be absorbed into a new communities department next year. Mr Storey said after that, the executive will be in a better position to decide if and when the powers should be given to councils. Declan Boyle, chairman of Belfast City Council's strategic policy and resources committee, said: "We will be seeking an urgent meeting with the minister to ensure that this is not shelved indefinitely, that this decision is urgently reviewed and that a decision to transfer these powers on an agreed date is confirmed. "We wish to express our disappointment and frustration and seek assurances from the minister in relation to our major investment, development and regeneration plans for Belfast. The decision that no play would be possible at Chelmsford was taken by the umpires at 14:15 BST. The Red Rose county are eight points behind Surrey, and promotion has already been secured by both teams. Alastair Cook is set to play for Essex before England's tour to the UAE, where they will play Tests against Pakistan. Lancashire batsman Alviro Petersen: "Losing the day's play was not great but there is still time to get a result. "At the start of the season, if people had said we would get promotion and win the T20, we would have taken that but we are still hopeful of winning the division." Essex captain James Foster: "There's nothing you can do about the weather and the ground is extremely wet. "But there are still three days left for play and we are keen to pit our skills against a side who are guaranteed promotion." After a goalless first half, Brazilian defender Maxwell broke the deadlock with a fine individual goal before Ibrahimovic doubled the lead. The Sweden striker's second, his 34th league goal this season, was a volley and Edinson Cavani got the fourth. PSG move to 89 points, 30 clear at the top. PSG still have three league matches left - Ajaccio (away), Bordeaux (away) and Nantes (home). Laurent Blanc's side last week added the Coupe de la Ligue to their Ligue 1 crown. They will secure a domestic treble if they defeat Marseille in the Coupe de France final on 21 May. They are Philip Mitchell, 32, from Tindall Cottage, Templepatrick, and Nicholas Mackle, 57, of Parkmount Street, Belfast. They are also accused with possessing cocaine and cannabis with intent to supply. The men denied the charges at Belfast Magistrates Court on Saturday. They were remanded in custody. The charges are linked to searches at premises in north Belfast and Templepatrick, County Antrim, on Wednesday, 1 April. Ex-Blackburn midfielder Dunn replaced Darren Kelly on a temporary basis in September and was confirmed in his first management role after a month. Assistant manager Dean Holden and first team coach Keith Brown have also left. BBC Radio Manchester reports that a replacement has been chosen, but terms have yet to be agreed with his current club. A club statement said they hoped to confirm an appointment by Wednesday afternoon at the latest. "I would like to place on record my thanks and gratitude to David for his tireless efforts over the past four months under what have been extremely difficult circumstances," chairman Simon Corney told the club website. Oldham were 19th in League One when Dunn first took charge, but they have since slumped to 22nd, five points adrift of safety. The 36-year-old, who joined the Latics as a player last summer, won just three of his 20 games in charge. The team failed to win a home league match under his management, and have not done so since beating Fleetwood in August. The 71-year-old Irishman was serving a life sentence for raping and killing 14-year-old Hanna Williams from London, whose body was found in 2002. He was also a suspect in the murder of the County Tyrone teenager Arlene Arkinson who went missing after going to a disco in County Donegal in 1994. He was charged with murdering the 15-year-old but was acquitted in 2005. The jury was not told that Howard, who was originally from County Laois, had a history of sexual violence and by then he was already serving a life term for killing and raping Hanna Williams. Arlene, a schoolgirl from Castlederg, was last seen alive in a car driven by Howard. She has been missing, presumed dead, for 21 years. A number of searches have been carried out at various locations, but her body has never been found. Howard was an inmate at HMP Frankland in County Durham but died in hospital two days ago. It is believed he died from natural causes. A spokesman for the UK Prison Service said: "HMP Frankland prisoner Robert Howard (dob 20/4/1944) was pronounced dead in hospital at 1.55pm on Friday. "As with all deaths in custody there will be an investigation by the independent Prisons and Probation Ombudsman." Media playback is not supported on this device The Spanish football federation has until Thursday night to send the necessary documents, according to the LFP which runs France's Ligue 1. If the deadline is missed, Neymar won't play for PSG at Guingamp on Sunday. LFP has told BBC Sport "an official procedure" is being launched with Fifa. But Fifa says it has not been contacted by French authorities about Neymar. The Spanish football federation is yet to comment. Brazilian Neymar, 25, has already had to miss Saturday's Ligue 1 win over Amiens. Transfers between clubs in different countries must include Fifa's International Transfer Certificate (CIT). It is this document that the French football authorities are yet to receive. "The Spanish federation of football has until Thursday night to send the CIT to the French federation of football, who send it back to the French professional football league, and then Neymar can play with PSG this weekend", an LFP statement said. Neymar's move to France has been troubled since the release clause in his contract was triggered. Spain's La Liga believes PSG are violating Uefa's Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules and Barcelona previously said they would report the French club to European football's governing body, Uefa, for a FFP breach. PSG believes La Liga is acting unlawfully, while the LFP said it was "surprised" and urged the Spanish federation to "abide by the Fifa rules". West Midlands Fire were called to AC Jenner and Son, in Hampton-in-Arden, near Solihulll, at 07:20 BST. It took about 25 firefighters nearly two hours to bring the blaze under control. Kevin Eaves, of the fire service, said the factory in Walsal End Lane was "engulfed in flames" when they arrived. The cause is not yet known and investigations have begun. After resuming on 389-7, Kent pushed their first-innings score to 441, with veteran Darren Stevens the last man out for 136. Hardus Viljoen then took three wickets as Essex struggled with the bat. Dan Lawrence made 88, but Essex could only close on 289-9, three short of avoiding the follow-on. It was a crucial error from 19-year-old Lawrence, who looked set to reach a fifth first-class hundred and guide Essex to probable safety before he aimed for a second successive six off James Tredwell and holed out on the long-on boundary. He had earlier done well to come through a difficult start - he was dropped at third slip off Stevens on five - to play attractive drives on both sides of the wicket. But Lawrence received precious little support from a number of Essex batsmen who failed to capitalise on starts - six were out for scores between 21 and 36 on a blameless pitch. By the end, last-wicket pair David Masters - who was given a guard of honour in his final match before retiring - and Matt Dixon came together with 25 required to avoid the follow-on. They inched closer and three more runs on Friday will probably ensure Essex draw a match that lost its entire first day to a wet outfield. Owners of Scarthin Books, in Cromford, Derbyshire, were told in 2015 that "emergency work" was needed to preserve the 150-year-old building. It prompted a crowdfunding campaign which led to £12,000 being raised by people all over the world. Manager David Booker said the shop had a 20% sales increase after the appeal. For years staff at Scarthin Books, named one of the best in the world by The Guardian in 2008, were quizzed by customers about how the structure survived under the weight of so many books. The notion was laughed off until spring 2015, when they were told by a structural engineer that there was a serious risk the building could fall down unless urgent repairs were made. Thousands of pounds were raised within days of an appeal and enough was left to make further external repairs and conduct a restructuring of the shop. "The response was amazing," said Mr Booker. "It was a catalyst for the resurgence of the bookshop... sales increased by 20% which is phenomenal for independent bookshop. "There is just a real buzz and sense of excitement about the shop." Four steel columns were installed, replacing temporary builder's "acrow props" which had previously been used, to help support the weight of about 100,000 books over four floors. The extra money was used to add new shelving and repair the building's gable end. Maxwell Marion Morton, 16, was arrested for killing Ryan Mangan in his home near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The suspect used Snapchat - an app that auto-deletes content after a few seconds - to send an image to a friend. The friend took a screenshot and his mother contacted police. Prosecutors said the Snapchat was "key evidence". "[Police] received a copy of the photo which depicted the victim sitting in the chair with a gunshot wound to the face," a police affidavit states, according to The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "It also depicts a black male taking the 'selfie,' with his face facing the camera and the victim behind the actor. The photo had the name 'Maxwell' across the top." The boy also received text messages from the suspect saying: "Told you I cleaned up the shells" and "Ryan was not the last one." Snapchat has become wildly popular among US teenagers and youth, with many attracted by the fact content shared via the app disappears so quickly. But there are ways to make Snapchat messages permanent - including taking screen captures and using third-party services. Users are alerted when someone takes a screen capture of a message. Maxwell Marion Morton confessed to killing Mr Mangan after police found a 9mm handgun hidden in his home, according to The Tribune-Review. He will be charged and face trial as an adult, police said. The 300m (984ft) long attraction will be built on the former site of the Brighton Wheel, which closed in May. It will cost £1.7m to build, and have a 22m (72ft) high starting tower with two cables. It is expected to attract about 32,000 visitors a year. A cafe seating up to 140 people, with an open glass-fronted terrace, was approved as part of the application. A landing area shaped like the hull of a boat will be on the beach opposite Lower Rock Gardens and Atlingworth Street. More news from Sussex The attraction will be open year round between 10:00 and 23:00. The equivalent of just over 30 full-time jobs will be created by the investment, the council said. Local residents had opposed the plans, saying "excessive screaming" from thrill-seeking customers using the wire would be intolerable. One opponent, Trevor Scoble, said its purpose was "to excite people, to make them scream". Councillor Julie Cattell, planning committee chair, said: "This fits well with the council strategy to bring new life to the seafront, particularly to the section between the pier and the marina. "This should complement other businesses in the area, such as the pier and the Volks Railway, without affecting people's enjoyment of the beach." The zip wire will be operated by the same company, Paramount Entertainment, that ran the Wheel. The UK's Carbon Trust, which developed the scheme, said many business leaders did not see the issue as a priority. The Water Standard will require firms to measure water use and demonstrate efforts taken to reduce consumption. It is estimated that more than 60% of Europe's largest cities consume water faster than it can be replenished. UN data shows that 70% of global freshwater use is for irrigation, 22% is used by industry and 8% is used in homes. Water use is forecast to increase in developing nations by 50% by 2025 and by 18% in developed nations. "We know that most businesses that are very big users of water don't really have a handle on [water stewardship]," explained Carbon Trust chief executive Tom Delay. "Very few measure it, even fewer have targets to reduce consumption. So even if there is not a significant cost penalty for water use, there is a very significant business risk." In order to be awarded the Carbon Trust Water standard, Mr Delay said the process was "relatively straightforward". "They need to be able to show us that on a year-on-year basis they are reducing their water use," he told BBC News. "We look at the various water supply methods: mains, surface water abstraction, groundwater and rainwater collection. "All of the water than comes into the company we will count as an input. We will also look at trade effluent because it is the dirty water and normally needs to be licensed and manage very carefully. "We are looking for companies that are awarded the Standard to show a year-on-year reduction on both water input and effluent." The Trust decided to branch out from its usual territory of measuring energy use and carbon footprints because there was not a global standard on water reduction, he added. "We firmly believe that if you measure something and if you manage it, then you will reduce it and improve its performance. But, he said: "We are not covering every single angle of water stewardship in this standard [but] we are saying that if you can reduce that then that is moving in the right direction." Mr Delay explained that the issue of water scarcity was closely linked to climate change because "one of the big impacts will be the threat to freshwater supplies". 'Early adopters' Among the four "early adopters" of the standard was Coca-Cola, whose operations in India had been criticised by campaigners who said the firm was abstracting too much water, which was having a detrimental impact on surrounding farmland. Mr Delay said that the Trust's standard had been awarded to Coca-Cola Enterprises, which was responsible for the northern European operations of the global brand. But he added: "The more people get into managing their water use, the more they will be exposed these sorts of questions and, hopefully, come up with some solutions." On the website for the Coca-Cola Great Britain, which is a separate company to the Enterprises operation, it said: "We believe we can be part of the solution to India's water issues and we've made water stewardship the primary focus of our sustainability efforts throughout the country. "We've improved our water use efficiency by 14% since 2004 and we're continuing to invest in new innovations and plant processes to help us make even more improvements moving forward." Commenting on the launch of the Water Standard, Coca-Cola Enterprises chairman and chief executive John Brock described water as "fundamental to our business and our communities". "By measuring and managing our water impact... we can address longer-term water scarcity issues," he said. "This certification recognises the progress we have made towards becoming a water-sustainable operation." Father-of-four Lance Corporal Matthew Smith, 26, of the Royal Engineers, was shot while on duty in the Nad-e Ali district of Helmand province. He died of injuries sustained while he was involved in a construction task. It comes only hours after the MoD named Lt Andrew Robert Chesterman of 3rd Battalion, The Rifles, as the soldier killed on Thursday. L/Cpl Smith's mother Caroline described him as a "hero" and said he was devoted to his family and four children - Lainie, Ella, Tilli and Jai - aged between one and seven years, and "talked about them endlessly". Mrs Smith said: "A loving father to four beautiful children, who will be dearly missed by his fiancée, mother, father, family and friends. Our Hero RIP." Born in Hong Kong, L/Cpl Smith grew up in Aldershot. Nicknamed Smudge, he became a soldier in January 2003 and joined the Corps of Royal Engineers in September of the same year. Since his deployment to Afghanistan with the 30 Armoured Engineer Squadron, 26 Engineer Regiment on 16 March this year, he supported 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment as a section second in command, crane operator and driver. He was involved in the construction of a new bridge allowing the local population of Nad-e Ali to cross the Nahr-e-Bughra canal. His comrades described him as a "big character" who adored his family and would always count down to when he would see them again. Corporal Matt Copping, 6 Troop Section Commander, said: "He was always proud of his children and showed me new pictures as soon as he got them. Smudge also leaves behind his fiancee Laura, who he adored." He added: "Lance Corporal Smith's family have lost a major part of their life and my thoughts are constantly with them. I was proud to have known and worked with Smudge; it was a privilege. Not only have I lost a great colleague, but a great mate." Commanding officer Major Chris Ankers said: "I am proud to have commanded such an honest and professional soldier and to have met such a decent man. He took great pride in his work and inspired those around him, a true leader of men." Lt Chesterman, a Platoon Commander in C Company, 3rd Battalion The Rifles, was deployed to Afghanistan on 7 April this year. The 26-year-old, from Bristol, was commanding a vehicle patrol when the lead vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb on Thursday. The MoD said that as Lt Chesterman moved forward to take control of the situation, insurgents opened fire and he was shot. He was taken to hospital in Camp Bastion but could not be saved. His father Paul Chesterman said: "We have lost a fine young man. It was readily apparent that Andrew gave himself fully and wholeheartedly to his career in 3 Rifles." Laura Ward had cannabis, diazepam and amphetamines in her system when she hit Aiden Platt, 20, in Barnstaple, Devon. Ward, 30, of Fleet, Hampshire, admitted causing death by careless driving but was spared a jail sentence because she has a young child. Campaigners have set up an online petition and say they will stage more protests until the law is changed. Protester Ben Reed, who was among those taking part in the "ride out" demonstration in Barnstaple, said Mr Platt was "one of our own, a local lad and a biker". He added: "His life was taken but no justice was served." Ward was handed a 20-month jail sentence but it was suspended for 18 months because she had a five-month-old son at the time of sentencing. Footage was shown to the court of Ward's car pulling out at Sticklepath Hill without any warning with Mr Platt being thrown into a traffic light post on 2 August 2015. Protester Pam Douglas said: "It's too lenient, she should have got a prison sentence. The 18 months, suspended, is no sentence. Aiden's parents have got a full-life sentence now without Aiden." Devon and Cornwall Police appealed against the sentence but the Attorney General but turned it down saying he did not believe there was a realistic chance the court would find it unduly lenient. Sgt Rob Kelland from Devon and Cornwall Police said: "Three illegal drugs were found in her system, it doesn't send out the right message to people considering taking drugs and driving." The Ministry of Justice said it was consulting on increasing jail terms for drug and drink driving, but said it was ultimately up to independent judges to pass sentence on the facts of the case. Aiden's mother, Mandy Glass, said: "Everyone is a vulnerable member of the public when a driver gets behind the wheel of a car drunk or under the influence of drugs, whether you are a biker, cyclist, pedestrian or car driver. "I just hope at some point the justice system in this country will acknowledge that and start to give sentences that reflect the seriousness of the crimes committed." Media playback is not supported on this device Sunderland travel to St James' Park on Sunday, in Benitez's second game in charge of the Magpies. The Black Cats are a point ahead of their local rivals, who are 19th in the Premier League. "He sees Newcastle as a good opportunity," said Allardyce. "I have to say I was quite surprised, yes, but obviously being a football man, he wanted to get back in." Former Real Madrid, Chelsea and Liverpool boss Benitez took over at Newcastle on 11 March following the sacking of Steve McClaren, who won just six of his 28 Premier League games in charge. "From Steve's point of view, I felt sorry for him and of course another English manager bites the dust," added Allardyce. "There are only three of us left now - there's only me, Alan Pardew and Eddie Howe, so that's a great shame. "But pitting your wits against some of the best coaches in Europe is always a challenge and Rafa is one of those, I don't think anybody would argue with that." Media playback is not supported on this device Allardyce and Benitez have not always seen eye to eye. The former Bolton boss suggested in his autobiography that Benitez had little to do with Liverpool's 2005 Champions League win, and the Spaniard responded by questioning Allardyce's success. "Early days, it was a bit ferocious, but the mellowing of Sam Allardyce has happened over the last few years," said the Black Cats boss, who managed Newcastle between 2007 and 2008. "But it's not about me or Rafa, apart from us doing our jobs behind the scenes. I'm sure there's nothing I can say or do, and there's certainly nothing Rafa can say or do in his press conference that's going to rattle me, that's for sure." Sunderland go into Sunday's derby two places above Newcastle and both teams have nine games left. Allardyce said: "It would be a massive escape if both of us did it because it's certainly looking like at the moment, for me, it's probably Swansea or Crystal Palace that we can catch, and they have to lose a lot of their games. "Their nine games, they are going to have to lose or draw them - if they get a couple more wins, they'll be safe because I still think 38 points will do it this year." The building society reported £677m a year earlier. Nationwide also announced its chief executive, Graham Beale, would retire next year after nine years at the helm. It added it expected growth to moderate in the years ahead as the pace of house price growth eased. Nationwide said the search for Mr Beale's successor would now begin. He served on the board of the building society for 13 years, becoming chief executive of Nationwide shortly before the financial crisis in 2007. Net interest income - the income Nationwide receives from savings deposits and its own investments - rose £458m to £2.8bn, as a result of what the building society called "lower retail funding costs and the growth in retail assets". Nationwide said saving deposits grew by £1.9bn, despite what it called the "low interest rate environment". It blamed lower interest rates on its savings account on the general drift downwards across the wider market. The building society said it took its responsibility to its savers "very seriously", but added it was "not immune from trading conditions in the savings and mortgage markets and the impact on prevailing rates". Net mortgage lending - new mortgages advanced minus those repaid in full - amounted to £7.1bn in the year to 4 April, down from £9.9bn a year earlier, giving Nationwide a 31.2% share of the UK mortgage market. Mr Beale said: "Nationwide is in great shape and is demonstrating how a mutual building society can make a real and refreshing difference in the financial services sector. "Succession of leadership is best dealt with from a position of strength and hence the time has come for the society to identify and appoint its next chief executive. In the meantime, there is lots to do and there are exciting opportunities ahead, so it is very much business as usual." Chelsea Blackwell exchanged more than 850 text messages and 115 phone calls, some of a sexual nature, with the 21-year-old offender. Blackwell, 27, of Harris Drive, Bootle, Merseyside, had been a prison officer at Aylesbury Young Offender Institution since 2015. She was given an eight-month jail term at Aylesbury Crown Court. Blackwell, formerly of Sheriff Close, Aylesbury was charged on 21 February and on 20 July admitted to misconduct in a public office. She had used a second phone to make five further calls after the inmate's phone was seized in a cell search. Four letters were also found in the prisoner's cell, and more at Blackwell's Merseyside home. A forensic handwriting report concluded there was "very strong evidence" that Blackwell had written them, said the Crown Prosecution Service. Many of the letters, calls and texts were made in the early hours, and some of the calls lasted for several hours. Louise Attrill, Senior Crown Prosecutor, said the Crown Prosecution Service put together a "robust case" using mobile phone data, cell site analysis and handwriting analysis to show Blackwell had abused her position. "Incidents like this by prison officers are extremely rare but they amount to an abuse of the public's trust which has the potential to lead to corruption or blackmail. They are treated with the utmost seriousness", she said. Following sentencing, PC Nicola Ambrose of Thames Valley Police said Blackwell's actions "were completely unacceptable." The inmate was serving a seven-year sentence for wounding with intent. A first-half strike from Karl Baker and a superb free-kick from Kai Naismith eased Pompey to victory over a Cambridge side who turned in a lacklustre performance and only had Luke Berry's late free-kick as a consolation. Pompey dominated the opening exchanges and played some neat football through midfield as they tried to pick their way through Cambridge's defence, with Kyle Bennett looking particularly lively. Their early attempts were limited to long-range strikes from Baker and and Gareth Evans, who both picked their way in off the right flank, but their efforts provided no test for Cambridge goalkeeper Will Norris. Left-back Enda Stevens surged forward to find space on the left to unlock Cambridge on 19 minutes, receiving a pass and working his way to the byline, where he pulled an inviting low ball back into the path of Baker, who swept the ball home his eighth league goal, left-footed from 10 yards. For all their dominance, Pompey were caught napping on 35 minutes when Cambridge almost levelled out of the blue when Uche Ikpeazu seized on the ball after Pompey keeper David Forde spilled a cross and saw his shot blocked by defender Jack Whatmough. Normal service was resumed and Pompey striker Nicke Kabamba missed a golden opportunity to double his side's lead, planting an unmarked header wide from four yards. Bennett was again on Cambridge's case two minutes into the second half, firing in a right-foot shot from 22 yards which Norris was unable to hold but the Cambridge keeper pounced on the loose ball with Kai Naismith lurking. Naismith was not to be denied, though, and after Stanley Aborah - in his first start for Pompey - was fouled 22 yards out, Pompey's top scorer dipped a precise free-kick past the stranded Norris for his 10th league goal of the season. Cambridge had offered precious little going forward in the second half but their anonymity as an attacking forced was relieved on 80 minutes when Berry curled in a free-kick as impressive as Naismith's. In injury time, Berry was presented with another opportunity 25 yards out but keeper Forde climbed to claw his free-kick away. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

Billy's older brother Joe, 25, has become England's main man in the international set-up in all formats for the past couple of years, playing a vital role in both the Ashes glory of 2015 and the run to the World Twenty20 Cup final earlier this month. But Billy, who plays for Nottinghamshire, appears to be showing signs he has some of his brother's quality too, hitting his maiden first-class century for Leeds Bradford MCCU in their drawn match against Sussex. Root junior scored 133 from 214 balls in the three-day game, with one six and 11 fours. There's still some way to go catch up with his big brother. Media playback is not supported on this device Root has amassed 3,406 runs in 72 Test innings for England, at an average of 54.93. He has a best of 200 not out and has hit nine centuries and 39 half centuries. In one-day internationals, he has scored eight centuries and 12 half centuries in 64 innings at a strike rate of 84.46 per 100 balls - his total of 2,572 runs have come at an average of 44.34. He is yet to score a century in T20 cricket, but has scored 594 from 18 innings, at an average of 39.60, with a highest score of 90 not out. Crucially, he scores at a strike rate of 138.78. So, if the 10 previous tournaments are anything to go by, the 2015 World Cup is bound to throw up a jaw-dropping incident or two when it gets under way in Australia and New Zealand on 14 February. Here, BBC Sport relives 10 moments that shocked the Cricket World Cup, with insights from those who were there. You can listen back to the BBC radio 5 live programme 10 moments that shocked the Cricket World Cup, with Jonathan Agnew and Jim Maxwell. Kevin O'Brien, a club cricketer for Railway Union in his native Ireland, sent England careering off the tracks with the fastest century in World Cup history. With his hair dyed pink in the name of charity, O'Brien threw everything at an attack featuring James Anderson and Stuart Broad to help his side recover from 111-5 and overhaul England's imposing total of 327-8 with five balls to spare. He struck six sixes and 13 fours, reaching his century in 50 balls, 16 fewer than the previous tournament record set by former Australia opener Matthew Hayden. "I've always been quite a confident player and known I can make some big scores and clear the ropes, but I'd never really hit the ball as well as that, especially on such a world stage," O'Brien told BBC Radio 5 live. "When we won we just jumped around in the changing rooms like mad men, hugging, falling over chairs and everything. For four or five weeks, cricket was on the lips of every single person in Ireland." Appearing at the tournament for the first time following the apartheid ban, South Africa beat Australia, West Indies, Pakistan and India en route to the semi-finals. Their contest against England was bubbling up to boiling point when the rain - and the controversial rules - combined to produce the ultimate damp squib. After a 12-minute rain delay, South Africa's target was adjusted from 22 runs off 13 balls to an impossible 22 off one, leaving the Proteas incensed and England embarrassed as they limped into the final. "When it came to 22 off 13, we knew we were going to make it," said former all-rounder Brian McMillan, one of the two not-out batsmen at the crease. "After that is wet history. We knew the rules before the tournament started, but it doesn't make it any better. It was and still remains a bit of a con." England's 2005 Ashes hero Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff dished up a textbook tabloid tale when he had a drunken run-in with a pedalo during the 2007 World Cup. Following an eight-hour drinking spree with team-mates in St Lucia after England lost their opening match, Flintoff had to be helped by staff at a five-star hotel when he fell into the rough waters of the Caribbean Sea. As the term 'Fredalo' entered everyday parlance, he was stripped of the vice-captaincy and banned for one match. "It was a real low point," Flintoff recalled in 2014. "I had this press conference and walked across the hotel reception - and the England fans, who were only months previously cheering my name and high-fiving me, were shaking their heads. I couldn't make eye contact with them and I thought 'this isn't good'." The first two World Cups went to form with West Indies, the dominant team of the era, winning the trophy at Lord's. Clive Lloyd's Caribbean kings were expected to make it a hat-trick at the same venue when unfancied India made it through to the 1983 final, but in one single moment the destiny of the match was transformed. Viv Richards mistimed a hook over mid-wicket and sent the ball soaring into the sky. India captain Kapil Dev darted back from mid-on, trained his eye on the ball as it fell from the London sky and clasped it in his palms as it dropped over his shoulder. The Windies collapsed, India rejoiced and the country's love affair with one-day cricket was born. "As Kapil Dev swirled and hovered, the whole of India held its breath," commentator Henry Blofeld told BBC World Service's cricket show 'Stumped'. "It was a fairly straightforward catch but I can't believe there was ever a more pressured one in World Cup history." A decade after bursting into international cricket with the "ball of the century" to Mike Gatting, legendary leg-spinner Shane Warne was sent home on the eve of the World Cup in South Africa after testing positive for a banned diuretic. The Australian insisted he had only taken the pill to help lose weight on his mother's advice, but the authorities imposed a 12-month ban and Warne never played another one-day international for his country. "Every year we have a lecture on drugs," wrote captain Ricky Ponting in his World Cup diary. "I know I understand the issues well enough to check everything I take before I take it. That is common sense, and for Warney, who has been playing international cricket for over a decade, to ignore that approach is just madness." The World Cup became an international news story when Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer was found dead in his Jamaican hotel room the day after his team's shock defeat by Ireland. When local police launched a murder investigation, conspiracy theories abounded and fingers were pointed at players, fans and betting syndicates. Three months later, Jamaican police announced that Woolmer had in fact died of natural causes, bringing the disturbing episode to a conclusion. "It was a nightmare," recalled Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq. "Those final 10 days in the Caribbean were the hardest of my life. We went through hell. I don't know what has happened there but I can tell you it wasn't good for the players or for Pakistan cricket." South Africa had already let Australia off the hook once in the Super Six phase when Herschelle Gibbs famously "dropped the World Cup", but that lapse paled into insignificance alongside their shambolic handling of a semi-final run chase. With South Africa nine wickets down and needing nine runs off the final over at Edgbaston, Lance Klusener smashed fours off the first two balls to level the scores, only for disaster to strike two deliveries later. Klusener set off for a single, partner Allan Donald did not respond and was stranded in the middle when Adam Gilchrist whipped off the bails. As Australia advanced courtesy of their superior record in the group stage, South Africa's reputation for "choking" was well and truly established. "This was not merely the match of the tournament: it must have been the best one-day international of the 1,483 so far played," wrote Wisden. "The essence of the one-day game is a close finish, and this was by far the most significant to finish in the closest way of all - with both teams all out for the same score." Andy Flower, Zimbabwe's most successful player, and Henry Olonga, the country's first black cricketer, made a courageous protest against President Robert Mugabe's oppressive regime at their team's opening World Cup match in Harare. They released a statement to journalists in which they denounced the "death of democracy" in their homeland and took to the field wearing black armbands. While the players' actions drew the attention of the world to what they saw as human rights abuses taking place in their country, it also spelt the end of their international careers and condemned Flower and Olonga to a life in exile. "We can't all change the world, but if we all do little things along the way and make the most powerful decisions we can then I think we can bring about change," Flower told the BBC in 2013. "Would I do it again? Given the same circumstances, without a doubt, yes." The Sri Lankans had only won four of their 22 matches in World Cups before co-hosting the tournament in 1996 but the decision by West Indies and Australia to boycott their group matches in the country on safety grounds assisted their surprise run to the final. Few gave them much hope against an Australia side featuring the Waugh twins, Ricky Ponting, Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath in Lahore. However, an inspirational all-round performance from a 5ft 3in batsman shocked the favourites and brought unbridled joy to a war-torn nation. Aravinda de Silva prised out Mark Taylor, Ponting and Ian Healy with his off-spin before stroking an unbeaten 107 to secure the trophy. "The winning run is what I remember the most," recalled De Silva. "We kept celebrating after that. I remember it continued for at least three more nights. The 1996 win gave a kick start to the sport in the country. Young boys just took to cricket and the popularity of the game rose." Bermudian jail officer Dwayne Leverock shocked - and shook - the World Cup when he threw his 20-stone frame to the right and plucked a one-handed catch out of the air to dismiss India's Robin Uthappa in the second over of their group match in Trinidad. Leverock wheeled away in celebration before collapsing in tears as his equally emotional team-mates piled on top of him. Leverock, who also dismissed England's Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood with his left-arm spin in a warm-up match, was named Sports Personality of the Year and Athlete of the Year on his return to Bermuda. "As soon as it came off the edge, I said to myself, I'm going to go. I'm going to give it all I can," Leverock told BBC Radio 5 live. "People still talk about it and reminisce about the catch. I have a picture of the moment in my living room so I just glance at it and think of the memories. It feels really good."

Media playback is not supported on this device The 14-year-old, who formed one half of the sport's most successful partnerships with Dujardin, 31, performed a special routine at Olympia. "He's just the best," said Dujardin after reprising her London 2012 test. Dujardin is weighing up several possible successors, including Mount St John Freestyle, for Tokyo 2020. Although he is retiring from competition, Valegro will continue to give celebrity appearances and demonstrations. "I want to retire him at the top of his game because he owes me absolutely nothing," said Dujardin. "Now we can take the pressure off and go around and really enjoy ourselves. He deserves that." Meanwhile Carl Hester, who is Dujardin's Great Britain team-mate, mentor, trainer and co-owner of Valegro, added freestyle victory to Tuesday's dressage success aboard Nip Tuck with a score of 84.669%. Media playback is not supported on this device Sir Christopher was chairman of the BBC board of governors between 1996 and 2001. He also held a number of senior roles in business, including chairman of BT, and was head of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). His son, Archie, said: "He was as sweet and gentle and wise as he was tough and bold and brave." BBC director general Tony Hall said: "Sir Christopher Bland was an outstanding chairman of the BBC. He was a great communicator who both understood the creativity of broadcasting as well as the business of it. "He was hugely admired and will be greatly missed." In a statement, Sir Christopher's family said he had died peacefully at home, having defied cancer for three years. The statement continued: "He relished every day of his life, and to those that loved him he is irreplaceable. We're enormously proud of everything he achieved, from steering the BBC through tough times to his late flowering as a novelist, and we'll miss him more than we can say." Sir Christopher, who also spent time as head of London Weekend Television (LWT), spoke out in support of the BBC on a number of occasions after he left the corporation. Two years ago, he criticised the government for transferring the funding of free licence fees for the over-75s to the BBC, saying it was "the worst form of dodgy Whitehall accounting". In 2008, when Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand were suspended from the BBC for leaving lewd messages on actor Andrew Sachs's phone, Sir Christopher said "the meal that those who are not natural lovers of the BBC have made out of it all is excessive". After leaving the BBC, he became chairman of BT, turning the company around at a time when its senior management had come under sustained criticism from investors. Between 2004 and 2011 he was chairman of the RSC, overseeing a £112m re-development of the company's home in Stratford-upon-Avon. On artistic director Michael Boyd's departure, he said: "If the RSC is in good shape now, it is in large part due to the expert, passionate and playful chairmanship of Sir Christopher Bland." Archie Bland reported his father's death on Twitter, ending his message with the words, "God I'll miss him". BBC News presenter Huw Edwards offered his sympathy, writing that "at the BBC many of us remember him as an exemplary chairman". Master of Selwyn College, Cambridge, and former head of BBC News and BBC Sport Roger Mosey said: "[He] was the best BBC chairman in recent times. Tough, independent, wise and fair." BBC media editor Amol Rajan wrote: "Christopher Bland is just about the most kind, impressive and inspirational man I ever met. "Goodbye hero. I commend his spirit to the living." Sir Christopher is survived by his wife Lady Jennifer, his son and his four step-children. The French, one of the pre-tournament favourites, had looked set to be denied victory by Iceland's stubborn defence. Captain Wendie Renard's header hit the bar, before Le Sommer netted from the spot when Amandine Henry was fouled. Earlier on Tuesday in Deventer, Austria Women won their first match at a major finals, beating 10-player Switzerland. Austria captain Nina Burger's low first-half finish was enough to win their game 1-0, before Rahel Kiwic's second-half dismissal. For France - ranked third in the world - their opening win came as a big relief after being denied for 85 minutes by a physical, organised Iceland side ranked 19th in the Fifa women's rankings. They had been largely restricted to efforts from long range, before Elin Jensen was adjudged to have impeded Henry in the area, and Lyon star Le Sommer sent the keeper the wrong way. Austria's historic win came as Swiss defender Kiwic was shown the first red card at a Women's Euros since England's Casey Stoney was shown the only red of Euro 2009. The Swiss were already trailing to lively striker Burger's first-time near-post finish for Austria before half-time. Kiwic then denied Burger a clear attempt on goal, bringing her down just outside the area on the hour mark. Chelsea forward Ramona Bachmann offered Switzerland's strongest threat going forward, but her late effort was deflected over the bar. Austria and Switzerland - who lost to England in friendlies in April and June respectively - were both playing in their first match at a European Championship finals, although the Swiss did feature at the 2015 World Cup.

Myanmar is holding elections in three months, its first since democratic reforms began in 2011. Shwe Mann had been rumoured to be discussing an alliance with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Ms Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) is expected to do well in the 8 November elections, while many believe the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) will perform poorly. However, Ms Suu Kyi is barred by the constitution from contesting the presidency, so negotiations between the NLD and USDP could help determine who ends up leading Myanmar, also known as Burma. Read more: Myanmar's 2015 general elections explained Analysis by Moe Myint, BBC Burmese service Aung San Suu Kyi and Shwe Mann have often expressed that they have a mutual understanding for future co-operation. One likely area is thought to be amendment of the constitution, which prevents Ms Suu Kyi from running for the presidency. But for conservative forces in the ruling USDP party and the military, constitutional change is seen as a threat - because the constitution gives the military an automatic 25% of seats in parliament, and safeguards the traditional alliance between the USDP and the armed forces. This latest move means an inner circle of the president's has come out on top. It could also worsen the relationships between the ruling elites and the opposition. Until last night Shwe Mann, one of the most capable generals in the old military regime, had been seen as a likely successor to President Thein Sein, the BBC's South East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head reports. Thein Sein and Shwe Mann are said to have had a tense relationship, with both men suggesting they would accept the role of president. The two also disagreed over potential election candidates, reports said. Sources say Shwe Mann has now been replaced by a conservative known to be close to Thein Sein and formerly military ruler Than Shwe. Security forces could be seen outside his home on Thursday. "Shwe Mann isn't the chairman of the party anymore," a USDP member told Reuters. "He's in good health and at home now." A nominally civilian government was introduced in Myanmar in 2011, ending nearly 50 years of military rule. President Thein Sein introduced reforms including freeing hundreds of prisoners and relaxing media censorship. However, the military still maintains massive influence in Myanmar's politics, with a quarter of seats in both parliamentary chambers reserved for the military. England will play against the Republic of Ireland in a friendly on 7 June. UK police are taking action because of a "deterioration in fan behaviour" during England's last four away games. Banned England fans will have to sign in at a police station on match day, in addition to the usual requirement of surrendering their passports. The National Police Chiefs' Council said it will be "running a national operation to round up those who fail to comply before and immediately after the fixture". Twenty years ago, a match between England and the Republic of Ireland in Dublin was billed as a friendly, yet turned into a riot. Forty people were arrested after seats were ripped up and missiles thrown during the first half of the game at Lansdowne Road on 15 February 1995. The National Police Chiefs' Council said it is working closely with An Garda Síochána (Irish police) to prevent any fan trouble ahead of next week's fixture in Dublin's Aviva stadium. The officer leading the UK's football policing operations, Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts, said it will be the first time in four years that the additional enforcement measures have been re-introduced against fans subjected to Football Banning Orders. "It has been a point of pride in recent years that England fans' behaviour has completely moved on from the dark days of the 1980s," he said. "While the majority of fans continue to behave themselves, in the last four England away fixtures we have seen a significant amount of drunken anti-social behaviour, unpleasant chanting aimed at provoking home supporters and a small number of people who seem to take every opportunity to create distress for others. "Regrettably that means we have to increase our enforcement activity using tactics that proved successful in addressing these problems in the past." In addition, he said football policing "spotters" from England will go to Dublin and the Aviva stadium to "gather evidence of any bad behaviour and ensure anyone who offends faces the consequences of their actions". All official England Supporters Travelling Club members will be required to collect their tickets in person in Dublin with photographic identification. ACC Roberts said: "I am in regular contact with the FA and other partners in the football community and, while there is no specific intelligence as yet to suggest planned disorder there is sufficient concern to take proactive action to ensure that fans are clear that bad behaviour is not acceptable and will face serious sanctions."

It's designed to be used both inside buildings and on rough ground. So what does Google want to do with robots like Spot? The BBC's technology reporter Rory Cellan-Jones says Spot's development is for research and "any products for people to use are quite a long way away." "Watch out, though - Spot is getting smarter and may one day decide he's had enough of getting kicked around," he joked. Many of the hosts that the BBC has spoken to have had no negative reviews and the owners are unable to appeal. It is not clear how many of Airbnb's 52,000 UK-based hosts have been delisted, but it could be in the hundreds. Airbnb said: "We routinely carry out initiatives for quality purposes." Its answer was insufficient for William, who owns a townhouse built in 1730 in Soho, in London's West End. He has been renting out a flat at the top of the house through Airbnb since 2013 - until he was told two weeks ago that the property would be delisted. "We found it a bit insulting," William said. "We really try to arrange the flat to give people a good experience. We provide fresh flowers and breakfast for guests. We take a lot of trouble and we've had uniformly positive reviews over three years." He received an email from Airbnb on 27 January that said: "Unfortunately, our systems have shown that the listing mentioned below is not delivering the kind of local hospitality experience guests are looking for. In line with our Terms of Service, '2-bed Flat in Historic Soho House and 1-bed flat in 1730s Soho house' will be removed from our platform on 9 February 2016. Please understand that this determination was not made due to a single attribute, but an overall combination of various criteria." For others, the removal was just as sudden but will have a far greater impact. Guneep Luther had 14 of his 17 properties on Airbnb delisted with just two weeks' notice. His rental income of up to £45,000 a year was mostly dependent on the California-based company, which is registered for tax in Ireland. "Initially I had nothing but praise for Airbnb. The website is incredibly easy to use, customer service were very friendly and replied to any questions instantly," Mr Luther said. "Now, I feel as if Airbnb has completely ruined my business. They have not only left me in the dark, I have many bills to pay for all properties and I employ two cleaners and I am very concerned about their future. Airbnb are not being transparent in what ever is going on inside the company and I feel this is not fair on hosts or guests as many guests are worried about their bookings." And some Airbnb forums have been dotted with hosts who have also been suddenly delisted without any clear reasons being given. But Airbnb says the entire customer experience is central to the success of its offering. Positive reviews lead to more guests trying out the service. Negative reviews damage the host, the company and the informal "sharing economy" that the travel app Uber has also made famous. When contacted by the BBC, the company said: "Our mission is to allow Airbnb guests to connect with hosts who provide local and authentic experiences that make cities better places to live, work and visit. We routinely carry out initiatives for quality purposes and adherence to this mission... "As said previously, this is not unusual or unique. It's routine activity that happens around the world. " Airbnb was established in 2008 in San Francisco when its founders offered air mattresses as an alternative to hotels and guesthouses to conference attendees in Silicon Valley. Now it is worth an estimated $25bn and may be about to float on the stock exchange. If it does list, investors may wish to see the technology giant be stricter on all sources of revenue in future. "It has unfortunate consequences for people who've been de-listed and there is an opportunity cost of re-advertising a property," according to Paul Maher from Positive Marketing. "But we have to remember that although it's called the 'sharing economy', it is a business after all. And for any reason if the business decides to delist you, that's their prerogative." Airbnb provides a platform for anyone with spare space, houses, chalets and even castles to rent out for a day at a time. The company does not inspect each property but offers a free photography service to hosts. Guests and hosts both pay separate commissions to Airbnb, on top of the rental fee, and all the money is retained by the company until the guest arrives at the property. Mr Maher believed that these delistings may be Airbnb trying to get ahead of the game before new regulatory restrictions come into force, including taxes similar to those payable by hotels and guesthouses. "Slowly the sharing economy is having some of the problems that traditional business faced. It may be that they are getting very vigorous about revenue streams. And if that involves de-listing some people, that's the consequence," he said. Jimmy Prout, 45, was subjected to months of "Dark Ages" abuse by a group he thought were his friends, the jury at Newcastle Crown Court was told. Ann Corbett, 26, Zahid Zaman, 43, Myra Wood, 50, and Kay Rayworth, 56, of North Shields, deny murder and allowing the death of a vulnerable adult. The four pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice. The jury heard the group had a strange relationship with Mr Prout that developed an almost "cultish dimension". However, it is alleged a series of events in late 2015 created tensions which led to serious assaults against the father-of-two, including knocking out his teeth. Paul Greaney QC, prosecuting, said: "Over a period of time, Jimmy Prout was not just mistreated, he was tortured. "The defendants took part in that violence either inflicting injuries directly or assisting or encouraging the other members of the group to do so." Mr Greaney said the evidence suggested Mr Prout died on 9 February 2016, and that his body was dumped on wasteland 100 metres from his home where it began to decompose and was partly eaten by animals. The group then allegedly tried to cover their tracks, asking people if they had seen Mr Prout while pretending to look for him. The court heard how, on 25 March, police received a call from Mr Zaman in which he claimed Ms Corbett had attacked him and killed Mr Prout, in an attempt to "throw her to the wolves". On attending St Stephen's Way, North Tyneside, officers found Mr Zaman, Ms Rayworth and Ms Wood, who claimed to have letters written by Corbett confessing to the murder. Mr Greaney told jurors it was "pure theatre" and invention because they all knew Mr Prout had been dead for more than six weeks. He said Mr Prout was "repeatedly assaulted and subjected to dreadful indignities". "They accept that Jimmy Prout was assaulted, but each of them wishes to reduce his or her own involvement in events, seeking to blame one or more of the others. "In truth they were in it together," he added. The trial continues. If he could read Russian, I suspect he'd appreciate the way the media here have been covering the US election. Pro-Kremlin newspapers have waxed lyrical about Donald and, at times, torn Hillary to shreds. "I officially declare that Clinton is a cursed witch," wrote Russian MP Vitaly Milonov recently in the popular tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda. "That's why even a funny guy like Trump looks more reasonable in comparison." The Russian press has portrayed Clinton as a raving Russophobe. "Russia is already fighting on two fronts, in the Donbass and in Syria," wrote the pro-government Izvestia. "If the war-like, Russia-hating Hillary Clinton wins the US election, a third front could open up in the Caucasus; money will pour in to support terrorists, just like it did during the two Chechen wars. There could even be a fourth front in Central Asia, where weak regimes are already being attacked by extremists and 'Orange Revolutions'." In contrast, the Russian media praises Donald Trump's pro-Russia position. "If he's able to put into effect 30% of his plans regarding Russia and Putin, that will be good," noted Moskovsky Komsomolets. Trump is portrayed here as an outsider: "the upstart with no connection to the ruling class", according to Komsomolskaya Pravda. "The political coup against him has failed," wrote the government paper Rossiskaya Gazeta. "Trump's speeches are unpretentious, without the kind of hypocritical political correctness of the conservative establishment. He feels out the pressure points of the deepening structural crisis in America." In America, Trump's lewd conversation about women taped 11 years ago on a bus sparked outrage and condemnation. Not in the Russian press. In the broadsheet Nezavisimaya Gazeta, a Moscow University academic wrote that "Trump's words were the kind of spiel you hear over a cup of coffee...they've been blown up into a whole scandal". Komsomolskaya Pravda compared criticism of Trump's taped conversation to the Democratic Party's outrage over the hacking of its server. "So, to hack the server of the Democratic Party and to publish the cynical correspondence of Hillary Clinton's aides, for an insight into the methods used to finance her campaign, that is considered 'indecent'. But to secretly record a private conversation, that is 'OK'?" The Moskovsky Komsomolets declared: "The Trump 'sex scandal' isn't worth a thing... After all, Franklin Roosevelt, who was US president four times, died with his lover on his knee. And John Kennedy had hundreds of mistresses. One of them had suspected links to East German intelligence; another was the lover of a famous Chicago mafia boss." Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed claims that Moscow favoured Donald Trump in the US election as "complete and utter rubbish". Russian media coverage tells a very different story. And not only in the papers. At times Russian state television sounds like 'Trump TV', repeating at length the tycoon's claims that the election is rigged. Two weeks ago, Dmitry Kiselev, the anchor of Russia-1's flagship news programme News of the Week, read out an extract from Mark Twain's 'Running For Governor'. The implication: that elections in America have a long history of fraud. Last Sunday, he dismissed US elections as "not direct, not equal, not transparent, not everyone can vote, and there are many opportunities for vote rigging". He predicted that whoever wins the election, the loser is unlikely to accept the result. Most chillingly, Kiselev's programme has raised the spectre of Donald Trump being assassinated. "They could just kill him," Kiselev declared back in September. "America's Special Services don't need a president like this. They whip up hatred for Russia to justify their own existence. The American oligarchs don't need Trump, either... The American establishment is ruthless." This week Komsomolskaya Pravda issued a similar warning, concluding it "couldn't exclude the most dramatic scenario a la John Kennedy". If you were to base your view of the US election solely on pro-Kremlin newspapers and state TV, you might easily conclude that the election is rigged, that the result almost certainly will be contested and that America faces a prolonged period of post-election chaos. "This isn't an 'Orange Revolution' yet. But it's funny," concluded Dmitry Kiselev. Elizabeth Tracey Mae Wettlaufer of Woodstock, Ontario, appeared in court on Tuesday morning. The victims were residents in two long-term care facilities where Ms Wettlaufer worked and were between 75 and 96 years old. Police said seven of the victims were given a fatal dose of a drug. The victims were five women and three men and were all residents of Caressant Care in Woodstock and Meadow Park in London, Ontario. What we know about accused Canadian nurse "The victims were administered a drug... there are obviously a number of drugs that are stored and are available in long-term care facilities," Woodstock Police Chief William Renton said at a news conference. The chief declined to comment on a possible motive, but did add that investigators are confident that they have identified all victims. Caressant spokesman Lee Griffi said the accused was a registered nurse and left their employment approximately two and a half years ago. "We deeply regret the additional grief and stress this is imposing on the families involved," Mr Griffi said in a written statement. Woodstock is a car industry and agricultural town of some 37,000 people, about 128km (79 miles) west of Toronto. In the residential neighbourhood where the Caressant Care facility is located, few people were seen coming and going. Media were staked outside the property, across from a local school. In the hallway of the adjoining retirement residence, a television could be heard playing the news of Ms Wettlaufer's arrest. An employee at the facility, who was not authorised to speak on the record, told a reporter that it was a shame the actions of one person could colour a whole profession. Ms Wettlaufer was also an employee at Christian Horizons, the long-term care facility confirmed. A spokesperson for the organisation, which was not named in the police investigation, said she stopped working for them in 2007. "Christian Horizons fully intends to cooperate with the authorities in their investigation in this matter," said chief executive Janet Noel-Annable in a statement. The daughter of one of the victims said she felt something was amiss when her father, Aprad Horwath, died at 75 in the Meadow Park facility. "You don't want to believe any of this until you get to this stage when you're actually hearing it on the radio, and then you know that it's real, and even then it's hard to believe," Susan Horvath told AM980 radio in London, Ontario. "I wanted to talk and just for my dad so that people know what happened to him instead of putting it down as, 'oh he had a stroke' or, 'oh, the old age'." Ms Wettlaufer says on her Facebook profile that she studied religious education at London Baptist Bible College before she went to nursing school at Conestoga College in Kitchener, Ontario. She lists Lifeguard Homecare as her current employer. A representative from Lifeguard Homecare has yet to respond to the BBC's calls. On the College of Nurses of Ontario website, Ms Wettlaufer's profile states that she became a registered nurse in August 1995 and then resigned on 30 September 2016. The profile also lists Parker as her former surname, and has recently been updated to note that she is facing murder charges and is remanded in custody. Ms Wettlaufer frequently posted pictures of herself on social media with her elderly parents, and described her passion for animals and the Harry Potter series. "Father's day is a great reminder of how blessed I am to still have my Dad alive and able to spend time with me", she wrote beneath a picture of her father. In another post, dated 28 September 2015, Ms Werrlaufer spoke about her difficulties overcoming alcoholism. "My own voice called to me in the darkness. Others hands lifted me when I chose the light. One year ago today I woke up not dead. 365 days clean and sober," she wrote. The deaths took place between 2007 and 2014. Police have identified the victims as: Police revealed few details about the motive or circumstances surrounding the deaths, but said that the investigation into all eight deaths started on 29 September after police in Woodstock received certain information. The investigation was a joint effort between Woodstock Police Service, London Police Service and the Ontario Provincial Police. Police said they do not know if there are other victims, but that the nurse worked in other facilities. They are urging the public to come forward if they have any information. The criminal case is the largest in Ontario province since 2006, when five men were charged for murdering eight members of the Bandidos biker gang. All five of the accused men were convicted in 2009. The party urged the Welsh government to improve existing roads instead, claiming it would save £600m. Transport spokesman Rhun ap Iorwerth said the M4 bottleneck "needs to be solved" but rejected "expensive plans" which would take "years to deliver". The Welsh government accused Plaid of issuing "blanket statements". A spokesman for First Minister Carwyn Jones said: "This is totally disingenuous from Plaid Cymru. They have no plan for the M4, no vision for the economy and no appetite to take the tough decisions on infrastructure. "Our favoured option has strong support from business and will deliver a long-term solution to a long-standing problem. And, as Plaid Cymru well know, progress will also require an environmental impact assessment, and a likely public inquiry." Last week, a Labour AM who criticised the spending of nearly £20m this year on preparations for the road was sacked as a committee chair by First Minister Carwyn Jones. Jenny Rathbone had said she was "appalled" by the money being spent on a road she hoped would never be built. Before a Plaid Cymru debate about the plans on Wednesday, Mr ap Iorwerth urged ministers to "stop blowing the budget on this unpopular scheme and look towards Plaid Cymru's cheaper, better option". "Plaid Cymru wants to see these problems solved effectively," he said. "Our plans to upgrade existing roads will ease the daily congestion and could leave £600m to invest in roads in other parts of Wales." Plaid's motion was defeated in vote by AMs. Teams that rely just on their F1 income are more exposed to the "vagaries of motor racing", said Williams Group chief executive Mike O'Driscoll. The group developed its Williams Advanced Engineering arm in order to commercialise its F1 know-how, he said. "It provides greater stability for us and our bankers." At the end of 2014, the Marussia and Caterham teams both ceased trading, though Marussia has since come out of administration and was last week cleared to compete, just in time for the opening race of the F1 season in Australia this weekend. Williams finished third in the constructors' championship last year, beating bigger rivals Ferrari and McLaren. The last time the team was close to a top three spot was in 2007, when they came fourth. After the financial crisis of 2008, Williams was facing an uncertain future, with a lack of investment, rising costs and spiralling debts. "We decided that what we needed to do was build a stronger, more robust organisation," Mr O'Driscoll told the BBC. In order to commercialise its racing technology, Williams created two spin-off companies in 2008: Williams Hybrid Power and Williams Advanced Engineering, both based at its F1 factory in Oxfordshire. Its hybrid power business worked on introducing F1 hybrid technology into buses and trams, and was sold last year to GKN. Williams Advanced Engineering is helping to develop driverless cars in the UK by using the car simulator technology from F1 testing. The business is growing rapidly - it employs 100 people and opened a new research and development facility last July. The idea behind these businesses was to create extra revenue that can stabilise the team financially to complement the traditional revenue sources of sponsorship and prize money. "Formula 1 teams need to think very broadly about how to finance the business, and relying purely on sponsorship and Formula 1 income certainly exposes you to the vagaries of motor racing to a much greater extent than a company that has another source of income," Mr O'Driscoll said. Other teams have also diversified. For example, McLaren now has a large and growing road car operation.

But when Saudi Arabia wanted to show off its inaugural girls' council in al-Qassim province, they overlooked one thing: the women. Pictures released to mark the first Qassim Girls Council meeting showed 13 men on stage, and not a single female. The women were apparently in another room, linked via video. The male-dominated photos have been circulating widely on social media, after the meeting took place on Saturday. It has been compared to another viral hit - an image of US President Donald Trump, surrounded by men, signing an abortion policy in January. The Saudi launch was led by Prince Faisal bin Mishal bin Saud, the province's governor, who said he was proud of the conference and it was the first of its kind in the kingdom. "In the Qassim region, we look at women as sisters to men, and we feel a responsibility to open up more and more opportunities that will serve the work of women and girls," he said. The girls' council is chaired by Princess Abir bint Salman, his wife, who was not in the photograph. Mexican women fight all-male forums Meet the new Arab emojis In Saudi Arabia, a state policy of gender segregation between unrelated men and women is rigorously enforced. But the country may be moving toward loosening some of its rules as part of its Vision 2030 programme. Its goals included increasing women's participation in the workforce from 22% to 30%. In his speech to launch the girls' council, Prince Faisal said women make up half of society, although looking at that picture, you would not know it. Four of the 10 performers who will share the lead roles in Let It Be took to the rooftop bar of a London hotel to perform six of the Fab Four's hits. Organisers intended the event to mirror the band's 1969 performance on top of the Apple Building on Savile Row. Let It Be begins previews at the Prince of Wales theatre on 14 September. The show inherits the venue from the long-running musical Mamma Mia!, which is shortly to transfer to the Novello. The show, which features a number of Abba hits, is often described as a "jukebox musical" - one that uses popular songs to score what is often a fresh storyline. Later this year the West End will see the premiere of Viva Forever!, a show in a similar vein that will feature the songs of the Spice Girls. Let It Be producer Jamie Hendry, however, was keen not to have the "jukebox" tag appended to his production, previously staged on Broadway under the title Rain. "It's a term I thought we would be tarnished with," he told the BBC News website on Thursday. "We call the show a theatrical concert. "We're not shoehorning the musical around a book," he continued, referring to the theatrical term for a script for a musical with a story. The performers chosen to portray Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison were selected after an international talent search. "It's all about the music," continued Hendry. "We weren't looking for lookalikes, but for guys who could recreate every nuance and movement." At Thursday's event, the role of "Paul" was played by Emanuelle Angeletti, from Civita Castellana near Rome. The 37-year-old Italian called his casting "destiny", having had the opportunity to record at Abbey Road studios - the historic 'home' of The Beatles - seven years ago. The role of "George", meanwhile, was taken by Stephen Hill, from Wolverhampton in the West Midlands. "Hearing is believing," the 30-year-old said of the show. "You've got to believe you're seeing The Beatles for two hours. "If it's not done right, it's going to look and sound like a sack of spanners." More than 30 Beatles tracks will be included in the show, among them such standards as Twist and Shout, A Hard Day's Night, Yesterday and Daytripper. "It's a story in music basically," Hill continued. "From 1962 to 1970 you get the full picture." The show marks the first time the theatrical rights to The Beatles' back catalogue have been granted to a West End show. Their music also forms the basis to the Cirque Du Soleil show Love, which was first staged in Las Vegas in 2006. A report by the Further Education Commissioner revealed the debt had been accumulated since 2012 and a further £1m loss was expected this year. It said there were "concerns at all levels of the organisation" and its financial health had "fallen from good in 2012/13 to inadequate in 2015/16". The college said it was working to make improvements. Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills Robert Halfon wrote to the college to say there was concern "that the college has had significant failures in financial management. Leadership and governance needs to improve in this respect". The FE Commissioner said the college, which has three main centres, in Hull, Goole and Harrogate, lacked "strategic vision and strong leadership", which was "frustrating and demotivating for staff". The report also stated the college had "placed a strain on its cash resources" and needed "a significant level" of financial help from the government. "The college's financial strategy has largely been to make year-on-year cuts to staffing levels and to secure capital receipts from asset sales. "Despite a number of years of staff cuts... the college's staff costs are high, at around 78% of income for 2015/16 and a forecast 72% for 2016/17. (As a comparator, the Area Review benchmark is 60% to 65%). "This level of cost is unaffordable for the college," it said. In a statement, Hull College said: "The corporation and leadership team is working with the FE commissioner to put in place a comprehensive and effective action plan to secure the necessary improvement while developing a new transformational strategic plan with staff and key stakeholders focused on providing technical education and training which is highly responsive to employer needs locally, regionally and nationally." George Osborne made a deliberate attempt this morning to soothe twitchy markets - the fundamentals, the chancellor insisted, have not changed. The UK economy is still growing, Mr Osborne said; the banks are better financed than they were ahead of the economic crisis of 2008, Mr Osborne said; the deficit is down from 11% of national income to 3%; employment is at record levels and the Bank of England stands ready to support Britain's vital financial services sector. With David Cameron on his way out, a new prime minister yet to be chosen, a general election possible if not probable, the official opposition suffering its own crisis; the markets - sometimes accused of not being able to walk and chew gum at the same time - are being asked to ride a unicycle whilst juggling daggers. Markets like certainty. And whether you support or decry Britain leaving the European Union what cannot be denied is that the "uncertainty index" is travelling upwards. Into this, step Mr Osborne. Along with Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, he has been tasked with being the lead member of the continuity club. And that will mean him juggling his own daggers. Yes, the deficit is down, but the UK's debts are still rising and growth is slowing. If there is a recession ahead, the public finances will be further damaged. It is an uncomfortable position for any chancellor to be in. Mr Osborne has abandoned plans - if he ever really had them - for an immediate "emergency budget" which he claimed would be needed after a vote to leave the EU. His position now is that a budget can wait until a new Prime Minister is chosen and a new analysis of Britain's economic position is completed by the Office for Budget Responsibility, the national economic watchdog. The problem with the "steady as she goes" mantra is that markets do not wait for politicians. As with the Exchange Rate Mechanism crisis of 1992 and the financial crisis of 2008, pressure on currencies and on stock markets happens second by second, a clock not set by the stately desires of Parliament. Sterling is sliding downhill this morning. Banking stocks alongside property and leisure stocks are all heading south, some at a precipitate rate. These moves were always likely to be the outcome if Britain voted to leave the EU. And there is not much "reassuring words" from the chancellor can do about that. As far as the markets are concerned, nothing of substance has changed. Of course, it is not all one-way traffic. Some stock prices are likely to improve. Companies that earn revenues in dollars - such as pharmaceuticals - are doing better. And major exporters will also be helped as sterling weakens. As Gerard Lyons, the former economic adviser to Boris Johnson, said at the weekend, some believe short-term turbulence will soon be replaced by a new dynamism. We are certainly not there yet. And Mr Osborne and Mr Carney are going to have their work cut out convincing markets that Britain will be arriving at those new sunny uplands any time soon. Speaking in Armenia, she warned that the clashes "could escalate into a much broader conflict" in the Caucasus. The two former Soviet republics fought a bloody war over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh in the 1990s. A formal ceasefire is now looking increasingly fragile. "I am very concerned by these incidents and have called on all parties, all actors, to refrain from the use or threat of force," Mrs Clinton said after her talks in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, on Monday. "There is a danger that it could escalate into a much broader conflict that would be very tragic for everyone concerned," she warned. The BBC's Damien McGuinness, in neighbouring Georgia, says it is hoped Mrs Clinton will ease tensions between the two countries. The region is dependent on US aid, so Washington has much influence there, he says. The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan erupted as the Soviet Union collapsed and at least 30,000 people were killed by the time the truce was declared in 1994. Since then, a simmering stalemate has prevailed and both sides have reported sporadic breaches of the truce. The three Armenian soldiers were killed in clashes on Monday, Yerevan said. It remains unclear if there were any casualties on the Azeri side. Both sides have been building up arms in recent months and refusing to compromise. It is hoped Mrs Clinton will at least call on both governments to tone down the rhetoric and hold peace talks. Human rights groups also want Mrs Clinton to address alleged abuses in the region. Azerbaijan's harsh treatment of government critics has been in the spotlight since it hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in May. Authorities have dismissed criticism in the international press as Armenian propaganda. However, condemnation from the US secretary of state will carry more weight, our correspondent adds. A social media activist was released early from an Azeri jail on Monday, for good behaviour. Bakhtiyar Hajiyev had been serving a two-year prison term on charges of avoiding military service. He told the AFP news agency that his arrest had been "politically motivated". He had used Facebook to support anti-government protests. Last month a group of US senators demanded Mr Hajiyev's release. Mrs Clinton travels to Azerbaijan on Wednesday, after visiting Georgia on Tuesday. DB Regio took over running trains and stations in 2010. But Nexus has announced that from April 2017 it will manage all operations directly to prepare for "significant" future changes. The RMT union said it would be pressing for the Metro to remain in public ownership. Nexus wants approval from the North East Combined Authority to manage Metro operations directly until 2019. After this a new contract would begin when more than £400m is invested in a new train fleet. Nexus managing director, Tobyn Hughes, said: "The future of the Tyne and Wear Metro holds a major investment in a new fleet of trains, and we need to prepare the business for that. "The current contract that expires in March 2017 is not delivering the outcomes for passengers that either we or the operator wants to see. As a result we propose not to exercise our option to extend it beyond its natural expiry date." Nexus said it has agreed an investment package with DB Regio to deliver improvements in fleet performance and customer service over the final year of the contract. General secretary of the RMT, Mick Cash said: "Today's announcement is a massive boost in the battle for public ownership... RMT will now press for the initial two-year transition to be turned into a permanent arrangement for this essential public service." The youth brand that began as a magazine in Canada is now a TV and online video business worth $4.5bn (£3.4bn). In his keynote speech to the Edinburgh TV Festival, Shane Smith said media empires are about to begin a huge bout of takeover activity. Listing a series of rumours about prospective takeovers, he said he thought Fox would bid again for Time Warner and that Apple had got its eyes on both Time Warner and Netflix. The big five media businesses in America are, he says, about to become the big three. In a briefing before the lecture, he also criticised mainstream media companies for failing to address the needs of younger audiences. Smith said the need to drive ratings had led to "collusion" with certain politicians such as Donald Trump. He also voiced fears about the future for many new media businesses, saying about 30% face either being taken over or going under. 'Going to be ugly' The driving force for this is a shift in advertising - ad blocking on mobile phones and declining online advertising rates are, along with a shift in Facebook's algorithms towards personal content, making it harder for media firms to make a profit. He said that was one reason why Vice - which has received investments from both Disney and News Corporation - is moving into television. But, he said, his main point was wider: "There is a revolution going on in media. And it's scary, and it's fast, and it's going to be ugly. "Baby boomers have had a stranglehold on media and advertising for a generation. That stranglehold is finally being broken by a highly educated, ethnically diverse, global-thinking, hard-to-reach generation - and media is having a hard time adapting to this rapid change." He added if firms want to attract younger audiences, "you have to hand it over to the kids". And when it comes to news and media, a new generation has to be given money to make programmes that appeal. Smith said the view that the young had no interest in news was wrong - they just "don't like the way it has been portrayed up until now". However, he said, the established media businesses are facing the changes in the way the music industry first treated online file-sharing by trying to protect their old business model. "Now, we all know that a lot of media is derivative - we just make what has been successful before. "The reason why all this chaos in media is happening is because the new audience, the new purchasing power of Generation Y realises that vapid and vacuous… isn't going to get us to where we need to go socially and economically."

Earlier this week, Michelle O'Neill said more than £31m was required to treat patients who have been waiting for more than a year. She wrote to party leaders for their response. In a letter, Mrs Foster said the proposals should "not have been rushed out in the mouth of an election". She also said the political priority of Sinn Féin had taken precedence over the interests of those most in need of the health service. The former first minister said Mrs O'Neill's plans should be afforded "more detailed consideration", adding that the allocation of £31m proposed by Mrs O'Neill was "woefully inadequate in relation to the needs of the health service". Mrs O'Neill said she was confident the money would be agreed after the election on 2 March. She told BBC News NI she believed the plans were achievable. Mrs Foster also said that in the event of a political impasse after the election, the budget would by set by a Conservative direct rule minister, rather than a permanent secretary. Kevin Mahoney had said he would resign from the party if former Conservative MPs Neil Hamilton and Mark Reckless are chosen to stand. Mr Mahoney was told about the disciplinary action at a meeting of the party's Wales committee on Saturday. He will now become an independent member of Vale of Glamorgan council. The meeting also formally decided how regional candidates would be picked, after months of internal arguments. A ballot paper will be sent to all UKIP Wales members with a shortlist of potential candidates and members will vote for who they want to represent the party in their electoral region. The results will be verified by an independent body. The regional seats are seen as the party's best chance of getting members elected in May due to the proportional representation system. Dave Rowlands, from UKIP Wales, said: "The matter has been resolved now as to how the ballot will go forward. "We hope it will take no longer than three to four weeks." On Thursday, four UKIP Wales 2015 general election candidates called for leader Nathan Gill to resign over the way the selection process has been handled. Kevin Mahoney said: "I am delighted that my public stand against the political cronyism within UKIP and its national and Welsh leadership has resulted in a forcing of the decision to give the entire membership of Wales a vote on the list order which had been previously been denied to them." He added: "Possibly my greatest regret is that for the first time since I became eligible 39 years ago, I will find myself unable to vote in the May elections, as I regard all the current political parties in Wales to be as bad as each other." The group spent a week at the Eaton Square mansion owned by Russian oligarch Andrey Goncharenko before bailiffs removed them at 08:00 GMT. Several hours later, they relocated to a property in Grosvenor Gardens, five minutes' walk away by Victoria Station. Between 20 and 30 people are said to be inside the property. One squatter, who did not want to be named, said: "It's big - it's like seven floors. It's a lot bigger than the other one." "I sorted out my room already and I can't find it. It's massive," he added. A blue plaque on the front of the property says the building was the home of soldier and archaeologist Lt Gen Augustus Henry Lane Fox Pitt-Rivers between 1827 and 1900. The activist, who said they belonged to the Autonomous Nation of Anarchist Libertarians, said: "We are just going to go out and look for homeless people really. "We'll just walk around - they'll be in doorways or somewhere. It's a room to stay in isn't it? Even if they don't want to stay permanently." He added the group expected to be removed but would "just find another place". "There's empty buildings all over the place, you just don't know about it," he said. The squatters had occupied the Eaton Square mansion since last Wednesday, but were removed following a court ruling on Tuesday. They say they are protesting against the number of unoccupied residential properties in London. Released on Thursday, the federal report details a number of cases of inappropriate behaviour at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and other federal law enforcement agencies. It found that some allegations were not fully investigated or went unreported. The report also highlighted communication lapses and potential security breaches at the agencies. One section of the report details that DEA agents attended sex parties with prostitutes in a foreign county. The report did not disclose where the parties took place, but a federal law enforcement official told the Associated Press the parties occurred in Colombia. According to the report, the parties were held at government-leased quarters where agents' phones and laptops were present. But DEA investigators at the time did not report the allegations because they "did not believe that the special agents' conduct rose to the level of a security risk requiring a referral". Several agents were also provided with money, expensive gifts and weapons, the report said. The seven agents who admitted to attending the sex parties were given suspensions ranging from two to 10 days. One was cleared of wrongdoing. One DEA official told investigators: "Prostitution is considered part of the local culture and is tolerated in certain areas called 'tolerance zones'." The investigation was spurred by Congress after reports surfaced in 2012 that Secret Service agents had hired prostitutes while protecting the president during a summit in Colombia. Other allegations included unwanted advances, sex between training instructors and students, and relationships between a supervisor and subordinate. The federal agencies investigated from 2009 to 2012 include the FBI, DEA, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. A second man fell to his death from the flat at Donside Court shortly after police officers arrived at the scene on Tuesday night. The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner will investigate the circumstances surrounding his death. Police Scotland said the incident presented no threat to the wider public. The force also said officers were not looking for anyone else in relation to the deaths. Emergency services were called to the flat at about 20:15 on Tuesday after reports of a disturbance. Det Ch Insp Keith Hardie, from Police Scotland's major investigation team, said it had launched "a thorough investigation" to establish the full circumstances. "Officers attended at Donside Court following reports of a disturbance and found the bodies of a man and a woman within a flat," he said. "Both of these deaths are being investigated and treated as murder. "At this stage, we can also confirm that a second man died at the scene a short time after officers attended. The circumstances of this death are likewise being investigated. "Given that officers were present at the time of the death, the procurator fiscal has instructed the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) to review the circumstances." Det Ch Insp Keith Hardie said the involvement of Pirc was in line with procedures when a death occurs when officers are in attendance. He told BBC Radio Scotland the officers' discovery of the man and woman and the other man's fall from the flat happened "almost simultaneously". The senior detective said there was no suggestion of any wrongdoing on the part of the police. Det Ch Insp Hardie said that at this stage police were not looking for anyone else in relation to the deaths. He said it was a "contained incident" and there was no wider threat to the community. The officer added: "There will continue to be a police presence in the area as we continue with our investigation into this incident and I want to thank the community for their patience. "A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal in relation to all three deaths later today." A spokeswoman said the Pirc investigation "will focus on the circumstances leading up to the death of the second man following the arrival of police officers at the scene. "A report on the commissioner's findings will be submitted to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service in due course." Natalie McGarry was caught up in a probe after concerns were raised by Women for Independence. The Glasgow East MP said her decision was done "in the best interests of the party", but she maintained she had done "nothing wrong". Ms McGarry is the second of the new May intake to resign from the SNP. In September, MP Michelle Thomson - who won her Edinburgh West seat along with 55 other SNP candidates at this year's general election - also withdrew from the party after she became the subject of a Police Scotland investigation into alleged irregularities with property deals. Speaking after Ms McGarry resigned the whip, First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon told BBC Scotland there were no issues with the party's vetting process. She said: "I would rather not be in a position where an MP has to stand aside temporarily in order to have an investigation, but I think that's the right thing to have done. "Natalie McGarry is entitled to the presumption of innocence. She is asserting, vigorously, that she has done nothing wrong. She is entitled to that presumption and I will certainly accord her it." Ms McGarry was one of the founding members of Women for Independence, which played a leading role in the independence campaign and has continued to campaign since. The group said it had been examining its finances relating to a period between 2014 and its formal constitution as an organisation in March 2015, after senior staff raised concerns over apparent discrepancies between donations made to the group and its expenditure. Scottish Labour had called for Ms Sturgeon to suspend Ms McGarry from the party, with MSP Jackie Baillie saying the probe could potentially "cast genuine doubt" over her election. Earlier in the day, the first minister said she wanted more information about the basis or substance of the "very serious allegations" before taking any action. At teatime, solicitor Aamer Anwar issued a statement on behalf of Ms McGarry saying his client had withdrawn from the whip which would see her automatically suspended from the party. He said: "She has taken this step in the best interests of the party and the constituents of the East End who voted for her. "She maintains she has done nothing wrong but is conscious that the events of the last 48 hours are distracting from the job she was elected to do on behalf of the SNP. "She has a proud record as a principled activist and is determined to clear her name." Mr Anwar said he had instructed forensic accountants to study the case and assist Police Scotland in their investigation. He also released emails from police saying they were attempting to establish whether there was "criminality involved" in the case. A spokesman for the SNP said: "Natalie McGarry MP has today indicated that she will temporarily be removing herself from the SNP whip at Westminster, which as a result will see her membership of the Scottish National Party suspended while the matter is investigated. "She now hopes that the investigation can proceed as quickly as possible, is clear that there has been no wrongdoing on her part, and will not be commenting further until the matter is resolved." Ms Baillie, who had earlier written to the first minister urging her to suspend Ms McGarry, welcomed the news. She said: "It is disappointing that as leader of the SNP, Nicola Sturgeon did not act earlier. Now we need to know who knew what, and when, in the SNP about these allegations." Scottish Conservative deputy leader Jackson Carlaw added: "The SNP is all over the place with this - first Nicola Sturgeon dithers and takes no action, then hours later Natalie McGarry takes it upon herself to resign the whip." A BBC investigation found found in many areas the average price of a starter home exceeds the maximum purchase cap permitted under the scheme. Here we share your stories. Claire Etheridge, from Greenwich, south-east London, works in the capital but cannot afford to buy a home there. The 28-year-old solicitor believes areas surrounding London should have the £250,000 cap raised. "I am looking to buy in St Albans and commute in," she said. "However, this falls outside of London and therefore what I have been saving in the Isa I will not be able use, as the properties I am looking at are just over the £250,000 cap for outside of London. "It's a great scheme for outside of London but I really think the surrounding areas of London such as Kent or Hertfordshire, there should be some allowance for the fact prices are still high and therefore the £250,000 cap does not assist." Liane Reilly, of Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire, said she and her partner did not have enough money left to save after bills. The 30-year-old said: "We are renting a 1-bedroom flat at £900 per month. This takes up almost one of our salaries, we will never be able to save to be able to afford to buy. Our salaries go on bills and rent." The HTB Isa is the latest part of the overall Help to Buy scheme, where the government also offers equity loans to cover up to 20% of the cost of a newly built home. Borrowers are not charged fees on the loan for the first five years. Management consultant Matthew Taylor, aged 27, and his wife Anne, a research client manager, used the loan scheme to buy a house in Dartford, Kent. "Help to Buy genuinely works," he said. "Perhaps people need to think about the practical side of why this scheme was implemented. Find out about your area by tapping here "I'd love to live in central London in a house with a garden. The reality is that that just isn't possible. "So we looked out to where it was possible; in our case this turned out to be Dartford in Kent. We secured an amazing new build three-bedroom house with a garden and moved in three weeks ago. "Living and working in London brings a compromise, generally you choose the perfect location with a compromise on the property or a great property with a compromise on the location. The Help to Buy scheme isn't there to just hand perfect homes to people, it's to help them start the home -ownership journey by helping us get onto the first rung of the housing ladder." Catharina, who did not want to give her last name, told BBC News she feared house prices would rise too fast for her savings to make a difference. "I am using the Help to Buy Isa but would struggle to buy even a small one-bedroom flat with those savings in London. "Even if properties now were available within the cap, historical data suggests that by the time I fill up my Help to Buy Isa, they wouldn't be." Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, who has lived in the US illegally since he was a child, was held at McAllen Airport on Tuesday. The Philippines-born immigration activist, 33, said later in a statement on Facebook that he had been released. He had been near the border attending a vigil for unaccompanied immigrant children attempting to enter the US. The growing number of adults and young people arriving in the US from Central America has become a humanitarian and political crisis in recent weeks. Mr Vargas, a former Washington Post reporter, revealed himself as an undocumented immigrant in a 2011 New York Times Magazine article. "As an unaccompanied child migrant myself, I came to McAllen, Texas, to shed a light on children who parts of America and many in the news media are actively turning their backs on," he said after his release. "But what I saw was the generosity of the American people, documented and undocumented, in the Rio Grande Valley." It is not yet clear whether Mr Vargas has been issued with some kind of court notice. He was stopped at McAllen Airport which, although in the US, serves as an interior checkpoint for US Customs and Border Protection. A photo showing Mr Vargas being handcuffed by two US Border Patrol agents sparked anger. "We stand in solidarity with Jose Antonio and demand for his immediate release, but we must remember that there are thousands of people along the border that live with this same fear every day," said Cristina Jimenez, managing director of United We Dream, an immigrant activist group who helped organise his visit. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio had also called for his release, saying that this "shows how our immigrant enforcement agencies are failing to use their discretion and detaining long-time immigrants who do not pose a threat to our security". The US has seen a sharp increase in the number of children trying to cross illegally into the US. From October 2013 to 15 June, 52,000 unaccompanied children arrived on the US border with Mexico, according to the US homeland security department. The influx has become a political lightning rod and has led US President Barack Obama to label it a "humanitarian crisis". Mr Vargas - part of a team awarded the Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the 2007 mass shooting at Virginia Tech university - has attempted to draw attention to the plight of child immigrants over the years. The activist, who hails from the Philippines, was sent to live in California in 1993 at age 12 and struggled to gain US citizenship. "I convinced myself that if I worked enough, if I achieved enough, I would be rewarded with citizenship. I felt I could earn it," he wrote in the New York Times Magazine. "I've tried. Over the past 14 years, I've graduated from high school and college and built a career as a journalist," he added. "I've created a good life. I've lived the American dream. "But I am still an undocumented immigrant."

Once the usual formalities were complete after the 1-1 draw that sent Liverpool into the last eight of the Europa League with a 3-1 aggregate win over United, Klopp went to salute the travelling fans as Van Gaal strode towards the tunnel at the Stretford End. It was symbolic of the current trajectory of these two fierce old adversaries under their respective managers and underlined by the performances of Manchester United and Liverpool in their first European meeting. Klopp, on the evidence of these two Europa League legs, has built a Liverpool team more in his own image and likeness in six months than Van Gaal has managed in two years at Manchester United. Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool, while not at their best at Old Trafford, have demonstrated an intensity and work-rate that reflects their manager's personality and what he regards as the trademark of his teams - namely a mixture of attacking intent and the "Gegenpressing" style. In other words, you can see Klopp's imprint on how Liverpool go about their work, even though he has only been at Anfield since early October. Liverpool's graph is on an upward curve. United are a team on the drift, without personality or direction. If Van Gaal is stamping his personality on the side, it is almost impossible to detect. This was not a bad performance but one that came too late after the dismal display at Anfield last Thursday. Van Gaal may have declared his pride in his team's efforts but over the two games Liverpool thoroughly deserved to progress. United are seemingly no nearer a firm tactical template than they were when Van Gaal arrived. Once Philippe Coutinho equalised on the night with the away goal that left United requiring three second-half goals, the tie was over. United's spirit was willing, especially in the shape of youngsters Antony Martial and Marcus Rashford, but there is no surge of old in this team. Once the Brazilian's goal went in there was no sense inside Old Trafford for a single second that a comeback from days gone by would ensure. And it did not. As United became increasingly desperate, the cavalry consisted of Matteo Darmian coming on for Marcos Rojo after 62 minutes, following the introduction of Antonio Valencia for the struggling Guillermo Varela at half-time. One veteran was swapped for another when Bastian Schweinsteiger replaced Michael Carrick late on. Memphis Depay was not trusted and it was a reflection of United's current state that attacking options were so limited. Liverpool's supporters left shrouded in red smoke from flares and a growing optimism that, in the charismatic Klopp, they matter again and have found the perfect personality to take them forward. Liverpool play like a Klopp team, which is an ideal platform for progress. United have no discernible personality or clear direction. Liverpool have a manager in for the long haul accompanied by a feel-good factor. United have a manager many believe will not be at Old Trafford beyond the end of this season - and the uncertainty is plain to see. Klopp's heart-on-the-sleeve management style, a whirlwind of activity and emotion in his technical area, is the polar opposite to Van Gaal's rule by clipboard from his seat in the dugout. And the German already seems to be carrying his players with him in a manner that has eluded Van Gaal in almost two seasons at Old Trafford. There is a close bond between Klopp and his squad that has never existed, perhaps deliberately, with Van Gaal and United's team. Liverpool's Roberto Firmino, a £29m signing from Hoffenheim who is flourishing with Klopp after early struggles under Brendan Rodgers, summed up the manager's approach. He said: "He is the best manager I have ever worked with. I don't say that because he picks me all of the time. It's because of his mentality and personality. He gives confidence to all of the players. He knows what your potential is, so he always says just one or two words to give you confidence and show trust." Players like Firmino and Coutinho have bought into Klopp's approach and the German has also established an instant connection with Liverpool's fans. United, in contrast, seem stuck and no-one is more stuck than Marouane Fellaini. He is now almost the symbol of where it started to go wrong after the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, when the ill-fated David Moyes was tempted to pay £27.5m for the 28-year-old midfielder he managed at Everton. Unloved by the crowd - Old Trafford resounded to some of the loudest cheers of the day when his number came up to be substituted in the FA Cup quarter-final against West Ham United on Sunday - and struggling desperately to find any form, it is painful to watch. It is certainly painful for those playing against him. Fellaini was fortunate to escape punishment for elbowing Emre Can at the end of the first leg, he was at it again when he flailed and felled Dejan Lovren here. He is a disciplinary liability and a tactical millstone - his presence too often an excuse to resort to aimless long balls. Referee Milorad Mazic was generous with a yellow card when he flattened Lovren - it might almost have been a mercy sending-off had he produced red. United's targets now are a place in the Premier League's top four and winning the FA Cup, with a testing quarter-final replay at West Ham to come. Will it be enough to spare Van Gaal? And how many of United's squad would survive further failure after the blow of falling to Liverpool in the first European meeting between the clubs? Van Gaal's reign is rolling along at a pedestrian pace and any finish outside the top four would surely be fatal for his chances of seeing out the final season of his contract. Goalkeeper David de Gea is world class and must be the focal point of United's future. They must hope Real Madrid do not come calling again. Chris Smalling will be crucial, while Cameron Bortwick-Jackson has shown real promise at full back. Luke Shaw will also surely fulfil his outstanding promise at left-back when he completes his recovery from a broken leg. In midfield there must be long-term doubts over 34-year-old Michael Carrick, while Schweinsteiger is hardly one or the future. Would another manager get more out of Morgan Schneiderlin, who has struggled since his £24m move from Southampton last summer? The picture looks bright in attack with 18-year-old Rashford and Martial, 20, while United will hope Adnan Januzaj can rediscover his youthful promise. As for Memphis Depay, left kicking his heels against Liverpool on Thursday, United must hope his poor performances this season can be attributed to a bedding-in period and the best will be seen next term. And for all the doubts expressed, Wayne Rooney's absence with a knee injury has shown, especially when United went down without a fight at Anfield, how important he remains. These are times of flux at Old Trafford and a loss over two legs to Liverpool only brings that into sharper relief. Liverpool's season is alive with positivity - through to the Europa League quarter-finals and only seven points off Manchester City in fourth place in the Premier League with a game in hand. This victory will only enhance the growing confidence under Klopp and the belief that this season could yet end in something special. United still have hopes of a trophy in the FA Cup but Van Gaal admits they need to beat Manchester City in Sunday's derby at Etihad Stadium to keep that Champions League momentum going. As the final whistle blew at Old Trafford, it was Liverpool and Klopp with the momentum while Van Gaal and United faced an uncertain future with fragile confidence. The photos were released in response to a freedom of information request by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The images show mainly bruises and cuts on prisoners' arms and legs. The abuse scandal erupted in 2004 when shocking photos emerged of US soldiers appearing to sexually humiliate and torture detainees in Iraq's Abu Ghraib. None of the photos released on Friday involved detainees held in Abu Ghraib or at the US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Pentagon said. A Pentagon spokesman said the photos had "come from independent criminal investigations into allegations of misconduct by US personnel". About 14 of the allegations were substantiated - leading to the disciplining of 65 service personnel, ranging from letters of reprimand to life imprisonment. About 42 allegations were unsubstantiated, the spokesman said. The ACLU has been fighting for more than a decade for the release of what it says are 2,000 photos documenting abuse at US detention centres. It said it would continue to fight for publication of the remaining 1,800. "The still-secret pictures are the best evidence of the serious abuses that took place in military detention centers," ACLU deputy legal director Jameel Jaffer said in a statement. "The government's selective disclosure risks misleading the public about the true extent of the abuse." The Obama administration had agreed to release the photos back in 2009, but then changed its mind saying to do so "was of no benefit" and could inflame opinion against the US. The Exiles face Darren Ferguson's side at the Keepmoat Stadium on Saturday with Rovers having not lost at home this term. "He's got a fantastic team and they are one of the biggest hitters in the league," Feeney told BBC Wales Sport. "It's going to be tough as they've got some fantastic players but we've got to be confident in our own ability." Rovers are fourth in League Two while Newport have won just once on the road in all competitions this season and Feeney knows the task ahead of his side. "We know it's going to be a very big ask. They're a fantastic club. Not long ago they were in the Championship," he continued. "It's a great game for us to go into it's one that we can go into and play to our strengths." Summer signing Jon Parkin scored twice in Newport's 2-2 draw against Cheltenham Town and Feeney thinks the 34-year-old has answered his critics. "People questioned me when I signed him in the summer as he's 34 and been playing in non-league and they talk about his size but he was that size when he played in the Premier League," Feeney added. "He's a big morale booster and not just on the pitch but he's fantastic for the team. He's great around the place, he's bubbly but he works hard." Media playback is not supported on this device Yorkshire's Pidcock beat compatriot Dan Tulett by 38 seconds, with Ben Turner completing the podium places. They had to overcome difficult conditions as snow, ice and mud added to an already tricky course. Evie Richards, another Briton and the defending champion, took bronze in the women's under-23 race. Richards said she was delighted to get another medal. "I know it's not a gold medal but it means a lot," she said. "Any medal - and being on that podium - is amazing." Pidcock, meanwhile, told BBC Sport: "It's the best day of my life. "It's historic. To share it with these two as well is amazing. "Support for cyclo-cross in Britain is low. Hopefully this will change that and get more people out on cross bikes." Britain's highest finisher in the women's elite race was Nikki Brammeier, who was ninth. This event is the 68th Cyclo-Cross World Championships, and 30,000 spectators are expected to attend the event in Bieles, Luxembourg. Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) said ophthalmology services in hospitals were "fragile" and did not have enough capacity to meet demand. It leads to patient backlogs, breached waiting times targets with potential for "avoidable harm to patients". HIW looked at wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of irreversible blindness. But its report said there were similar failings in treating other eye conditions. For years, eye care charities such as RNIB have raised concerns that some patients were losing their sight unnecessarily because of delays in accessing treatment. They said they are frustrated that despite several plans and initiatives these problems still remain unresolved. The Royal College of Ophthalmologists recommends treatment for wet AMD should start within two weeks of initial referral. If this does not happen, there is risk a patient could lose their sight unnecessarily. The review highlights problems throughout a patient's journey: Concerns were raised by staff within Cardiff and Vale and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg health boards that meeting referral to treatment time targets had been prioritised above clinical need for eye care patients. "We were told of occasions within Cardiff and Vale, when lower risk patients were actively prioritised for appointment slots above those at higher risk of harm," said the report. "These decisions had been instigated by management overruling clinical views to prevent lower risk patients from breaching an arbitrary referral to treatment target. If this represents a systemic policy, it would be cause for serious concern. "Health boards must ensure, insofar as it is possible, that patients are treated according to clinical need." HIW said the fragility of wet AMD services was a "major risk". Chief executive Dr Kate Chamberlain said: "Although there has been some innovation aimed at increasing capacity, progress has been inconsistent across Wales." RNIB Cymru chief executive Ceri Jackson said it was unacceptable that people were losing their sight unnecessarily. "We acknowledge and praise the commitment and hard work of multidisciplinary teams across Wales, but the fact remains that people are still losing their sight due to delayed appointments," she said. "It is critical that we address the capacity within hospital eye services to meet current and growing demand." A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We have a reputation as being a leader in the development and provision of high quality eye health care, this is something we are proud of." Its eye care delivery plan sets out a range of actions to improve the eye health of children and adults. "Since the delivery plan was published a considerable amount of work has been done to move more patients from secondary care to primary care but we agree there is still more to be done," said the spokesperson. "We welcome today's report and encourage stakeholders to use the findings to improve eye care services for people across Wales." The Brazil international, who has spent a decade at Anfield, was absent for Friday's friendly draw with Wigan, in which Mohamed Salah scored. The 30-year-old, whose contract expires next summer, played 45 minutes at centre-back alongside Joel Matip against Tranmere Rovers on Wednesday. Lucas joined Liverpool in 2007 for £5m from Brazilian side Gremio. After Lucas was left out at the DW Stadium, manager Jurgen Klopp said: "I am not 100% sure but I think for Lucas, outstanding fantastic time at Liverpool we should talk about facts and not rumours. Maybe something, maybe not." Klopp would not confirm if Lucas would travel with the squad for the Premier League Asia Trophy. The Brazilian has played 346 games for Liverpool, including 247 in the Premier League. He has frequently been used as a defender by Klopp but was deployed as a defensive midfielder for much of his time under former boss Brendan Rodgers. Lucas is Liverpool's longest-serving current player. Boro already have planning permission and are in talks with architects about converting the terraced section of the stadium into a 1,600-seater stand. The club have a Football Foundation grant of £450,000, but need a further £500,000 in order to start the work. They are now asking fans to contribute to a "mini-bond", which will earn interest on a six-month basis. Stevenage manager Darren Sarll said: "When you drive past the ground on the North Stand side you kind of get a snippet of us in non-league. We have to embed this as a Football League club. The North Stand is the last part. "This really is about us as a town, us as a football club, supporters and everyone involved with the club standing shoulder to shoulder and moving forward in the next decade." The club have set a minimum contribution of £500 and a cap of £25,000 which will then be paid back back in full after a five-year period, with 15 September the closing date for applications. It is hoped the new stand, which has been in the pipeline for the past six years, will be open for the start of the 2018-19 season if the bond scheme is successful. Chairman Phil Wallace said: "It's effectively a loan to the football club which will attract interest at the rate of 4% per year, or fans can opt to double that rate and take an 8% credit. "It really is us putting two fingers up at everybody else and saying 'OK, we've got two options: one we don't do it and leave it as it is forever'' or two, stand shoulder to shoulder, raise the money and do it'." Lt Col Michael White told BBC Newsnight he would "look at individuals in the round" when assessing applicants. Recruitment would be focused on "capability development" rather than "personality traits", he added. The Joint Cyber Reserve Unit was announced by the government in September. Under the £500m initiative, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) is set to recruit hundreds of reservists as computer experts to work alongside regular armed forces. The unit will defend national security by safeguarding computer networks and vital data, and it will also launch strikes in cyberspace if necessary. It is hoped the move will address the shortage of people with the technological skills and knowledge to protect corporations, the military, and government systems from cyber attacks. The MoD said the recruitment, which started in early October, would target regular personnel leaving the armed forces, current and former reservists with the required skills, and civilians with the appropriate technological knowledge. When asked by Newsnight whether someone with the right skills would be ruled out if they had a criminal record for hacking, Lt Col White said: "I think if they could get through the security process, then if they had that capability that we would like, then if the vetting authority was happy with that, why not? "We're looking at capability development, rather than setting hard and fast rules about individual personality traits." Defence Secretary Philip Hammond unveiled plans for the cyber defence unit last month. Mr Hammond also told Newsnight he could foresee circumstances in which convicted hackers could be employed. "Each individual case would be looked at on its merits," he said. "The conviction would be examined in terms of how long ago it was, how serious it was, what sort of sentence had followed. So I can't rule it out." But one former hacker told Newsnight the government had already undermined its chances of attracting talented individuals. Mustafa al-Bassam, now a computer science student at King's College London, was the youngest hacker in the Lulzsec group - which recently targeted organisations such as the FBI in the US and Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) in a 50-day hacking campaign. He told the BBC that revelations by former US contractor Edward Snowden about the extent of mass surveillance carried out by intelligence agencies - including the US' National Security Agency (NSA) and Britain's GCHQ - had dissuaded him from using his cyber skills to protect UK national security. "I can understand the need for a government to protect itself, but when you go ahead and stomp on everyone's civil liberties - as we've seen with all the mass surveillance stories that have been out over the past year - I think you can rest assured that you're going to repel talented people," he said. Dr David Day, a Sheffield Hallam University computer forensics expert who provided evidence for Mr Al-Bassam's conviction, told Newsnight it was a "terrible shame" someone convicted of malicious hacking would find it difficult to get a job in the industry. "If they have those abilities and those skills, then some of the best talent we can't use," he said. Cyber attacks and crime have become more common in recent years. In July, it emerged Britain was seeing about 70 sophisticated cyber espionage operations a month against government or industry networks, GCHQ director Sir Iain Lobban told the BBC business secrets were being stolen on an "industrial scale". And in a written statement in December last year, Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude said 93% of large corporations and 76% of small businesses had reported a cyber breach in 2012.

A reading at the US embassy in Beijing on Tuesday put levels of harmful microscopic particles at 634 micrograms per cubic metre, compared with the World Health Organisation's maximum recommended limit of 25 micrograms per cubic metre. China's ministry of environmental protection said the smog was due to "unfavourable" weather. The following images show how different street scenes were a month ago. Sixteen people died in the accident, another seven are in hospital. The bus, carrying pupils from Hungary, collided with a roadside column near Verona late on Friday. Gyorgy Vigh pulled many children out of the bus. But his son, 30, and his daughter, 18, died, said Hungary's Consul-General in Milan Judith Timaffy. Ms Timaffy said his wife had also been on board. Parents of the other children, she added, had arrived in Italy, accompanied by psychologists. The bus was returning to Budapest from France, where the pupils - from Budapest's Szinyei Merse Pal secondary school - had been on a skiing holiday, when it hit a roadside bollard as it exited the A4 motorway. It is not known why the bus left the road. Mr Vigh, a physical education teacher, is one of those recovering in hospital with burns. nan The question: Alan asks BBC Radio 4' s PM programme: "How many UK citizens have been arrested and extradited to other EU states compared with citizens of other EU states extradited to the UK?" Reality Check verdict: In the financial years 2009-16, 7,436 people were extradited from the UK to another EU country. Of these, 292 were UK nationals. Meanwhile, 897 people were extradited to the UK. Of these, 352 were EU nationals. If the suspect is identified, they can then be arrested by a local police force. In the financial years 2009-16, 10,532 people wanted by another EU state were arrested in the UK. Of these, 479 were UK nationals, although more may have been permanent UK residents. After the appeals process, 7,436 people were actually extradited from the UK to another EU country to stand trial or serve their prison sentence. Of these, 292 were UK nationals. In the same time period, 10% of that figure, or 1,054 people, wanted by the UK were arrested on its behalf by another EU state. Of these, 444 were EU nationals. The rest were either British citizens or from another part of the world. Of these, 897 people were extradited to the UK. And of these, 352 were EU nationals - but more may have been permanent EU residents.

Gilmour, seeded 16th, rediscovered her best form though to claim a 21-14 15-21 21-16 win. "After everything I've been though, I'm speechless," she told BBC Sport. "Within the last year I've torn cartilage in my knee, gone through all of the rehabilitation and had a new coach so for it all to come together makes all of the hard work totally worthwhile." London 2012 Olympic bronze medallist Saina Nehwal of India - who claimed silver at the last World Championships in 2015 - awaits Gilmour in the next round. English Commonwealth mixed-doubles champions Chris and Gabby Adcock also reached the quarter-final stages with a comfortable 21-15 21-16 victory over Japan's Kenta Kazuno and Ayane Kurihara. The English pair were rarely troubled, but say they can play "much better" in Friday's quarter-finals as they chase the victory - against Hong Kong duo Tse Ying Suet and Tang Chun Man - which would secure them a first-ever world medal together. "Overall we're happy to get through what could have been a potential banana-skin, but we need to be more solid tomorrow," Chris Adcock told BBC Sport. "The next match will be really tough which is expected for a medal match and we'll fight to be at our best," added Gabby Adcock. However English pair Chris Langridge and Marcus Ellis suffered a "devastating" defeat in the last 16 to South Korea's Chung Eui Seok and Kim Dunkyoung. After a slow start, in which they lost the opening game 21-16, the Rio Olympic bronze medallists looked to have put themselves back into contention by taking the second game 21-18. It was however the South Korean's who prevailed - 21-15 - leaving the English duo to lament a "frustrating performance". "I'm so gutted and devastated as I don't think we should have lost to them today," Langridge told BBC Sport. Find out how to get into badminton with our special guide. Ellis who has struggled with a long-term shoulder injury heading into the event, added: "We could have had better preparation, but that wasn't to blame today - we just didn't perform well enough." England's European men's singles champion Rajiv Ouseph produced some of the best play of his career and took the opening game against two-time Olympic champion Lin Dan. However, the 33-year-old Chinese player - looking to claim a sixth world title this week - eventually found his range and progressed to the quarter-finals. "I think I played for a set and a half the best I ever have, but I couldn't sustain it and he took advantage of it," Ouseph said. "We've tried to put the difficulties in the sport behind us at the moment and I think I'm playing the best I've ever played and hopefully I can take that into next year." Badminton was stripped of all UK Sport funding for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic cycle and knows the only chance of restoring support is by winning medals at major events like the World Championships. Victory for quarter-finalists on Friday will guarantee them at least bronze by virtue of reaching the semi-finals. Two men and two pregnant women were shot dead in a boat on the Patuca River in north-eastern Honduras on Friday, local officials say. US and Honduran officials say police only fired shots after the helicopter they were in was fired at by smugglers. The local mayor says they were innocent fishermen caught in the crossfire. The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has confirmed that some of its agents were on a US-owned helicopter with Honduran police officers when the shooting happened. The aircraft was chasing a small boat suspected of carrying drugs on the river, they told the Associated Press news agency. Ricardo Ramirez, chief of Honduras' national police force, said the operation "was carried out with the support of the DEA" and that an assault rifle was seized at the scene. DEA officials confirmed that their agents were aboard the helicopter. "We were there in a support role, working with our counterparts," DEA spokeswoman Dawn Dearden told AP. US Embassy official Matthias Mitman in Tegucigalpa said in a statement that "the US assisted Honduran forces with logistical support in this operation". According to the New York Times, US helicopters were scrambled to help seize a boat carrying cocaine. As they did so, a second boat arrived and opened fire. A US official speaking on condition of anonymity told AP that said several helicopters owned by the US State Department were involved in the mission and carried members of Honduras' National Police Tactical Response Team. They said the aircraft were piloted by Guatemalan military officers and outside contractors. Lucio Baquedano, mayor of the coastal town of Ahuas, said police fired on the wrong boat. "These innocent residents were not involved in the drug problem, were in their boat going about their daily fishing activities... when they gunned them down from the air," he told AP. He said people had vented their anger at the government offices in Gracias a Dios region because they "sought revenge" against the government. The leaders of several of the ethnic groups in the area said in a joint statement that "the people in that canoe were fishermen, not drug traffickers. "For centuries we have been a peaceful people who live in harmony with nature, but today we declared these Americans to be persona non grata in our territory." The US says 79% of all cocaine smuggling flights leaving South America land in Honduras first. According to the US State Department, DEA officials based in the country helped seize more than 22 tonnes of cocaine last year - nearly four times more than in 2010. The US has personnel stationed at Soto Cano Air Base, and military equipment from the base has been used in drug operations before. But US Embassy officials say that neither troops nor equipment from the base were involved in Friday's incident. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 164.84 points to 17,721.25. The S&P 500 climbed 19.73 points to 2,061.72, while the Nasdaq added 37.34 to 4,496.04. Oil prices surged during the day with US crude reaching $41.96 per barrel, its highest level for the year. As a result petroleum stocks rose. Mid-size producer ConocoPhillips was up 5.5%, while Apache climbed 6.7%. Bank shares moved up ahead of earnings reporting that starts Wednesday with JP Morgan . Its shares were up 1.8%. Bank of America stocks climbed 2.3%, while Wells Fargo was up 1.6% - both companies report first quarter results on Thursday. The International Monetary Fund cut its global growth forecast, but investors said it was expected. The IMF now predicts global growth of 3.2%, a cut of 0.2 percentage points from its previous forecast. It said Brazil's economic troubles, worsening outlook for emerging economies and slow growth in developed countries were to blame. "If you're trading based on the economic forecast from the IMF, your view is going to be lagging, not leading the market," said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities. The 25-year-old running back, facing charges of aggravated assault and preventing someone from calling 911, has been suspended from the team. The charges are from two altercations at his home in July involving a woman and an 18-month-old child. His arrest comes after a recent spate of high profile assault incidents involving American football players. Earlier this month Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was suspended indefinitely after a video emerged of him knocking out his then-fiancee. After Ray Rice was suspended, Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson was indicted on child-abuse charges. Critics have been calling on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to step down after Rice initially received just a two-game ban for his assault. Earlier this week the league announced it is hiring four women as advisers on domestic violence. Across the country, outrage has been palpable. Many fans have announced they are turning their backs on the NFL. Fantasy leagues have been disbanded. Even the league's own television outlets, such as Fox, CBS and ESPN, have been sharply critical. What's gone wrong with America's favourite sport? One of the counts against Dwyer was "aggravated assault causing a fracture" against the 27-year-old woman. Another count was for aggravated assault against a minor, said Phoenix Police Sergeant Trent Crump. Sergeant Crump said police were called to Dwyer's home on July 21 after neighbours reported a row. They discussed the incident with the woman, but did not talk to Dwyer, who was hiding in the home, said Sergeant Crump. The second physical altercation happened at Dwyer's home the following day. After the woman was assaulted, Dwyer took a shoe and threw it at the couple's 18-month-old child, said the police officer. The victim and the child have subsequently "fled the state" because of safety concerns, he added. The Cardinals reacted to the arrest by announcing that Dwyer has been suspended for this week's games against the 49ers. "We became aware of these allegations this afternoon when notified by Phoenix police and are co-operating fully," the team said in a statement. "Given the serious nature of the allegations we have taken the immediate step to deactivate Jonathan from all team activities. We will continue to closely monitor this as it develops and evaluate additional information as it becomes available." The College of Emergency Medicine said that was the equivalent of filling an extra nine emergency departments. The Health Select Committee has been taking evidence after the worst waiting times in A&E for a decade and many hospitals declaring "major incidents". Doctors said it was "absurd" to blame patients, who were advised to go to A&E by services including NHS 111. The committee heard the reasons for the surge in demand were "many, varied and complex", but staff were doing a "heroic" job. Figures for England showed 92.6% of patients had been seen within four hours during the October-to-December quarter. The target is 95%. Then, last week, data for the start of the new year showed the proportion had dropped to a new weekly low of 86.7%. The figures include walk-in centres and minor injury units. Once you strip them out, just one in seven major A&E units are hitting the target. Data from NHS England shows there were over 14.6m visits to A&E in 2014 - an increase of 446,049 on 2013. Dr Clifford Mann, the president of the College of Emergency Medicine, told the committee: "Now the interesting thing about that is many people would describe that as only a 3% increase in attendances. "That's certainly true, but the other way of describing it is to say that's equivalent to eight or nine extra emergency departments and of course we haven't built or staffed eight or nine extra emergency departments in the last 12 months." Other parts of the UK are also missing the four-hour target with waits in Northern Ireland and Wales even worse than in England. The four-hour target measures the point from when the patient arrives to when they are treated and discharged, admitted to hospital or transferred to another part of the NHS. Prof Chris Ham, from The King's Fund health think tank, said there was no simple explanation for the extra pressures on A&E. He said: "The causes are many, varied and complex. We think the most important causes are outside hospital." He cited under-investment in GP services and a lack of community services to support people being discharged from hospital. Dr Mann said it was not the fault of patients, who were often told to go to A&E, including through the helpline service, NHS 111. He said: "I don't think you should blame people for attending an emergency department when we've told them to go there, it's absurd." The pressures being felt in A&E are also affecting other parts of the hospital system. The Government has made much of the £700m of extra funding made available to the NHS in England to cope with winter pressures. But has it all reached the frontline? Doubt was cast on that by Dr Cliff Mann of the College of Emergency Medicine. He told MPs that investment of the money was "geographically patchy". Chris Ham of the King's Fund ventured that some of the money might be "papering over the cracks" of trusts struggling with deficits. Dale Bywater of the Trust Development Authority argued that the money had been pledged early and was being closely tracked through the system. Just how the extra cash for the NHS has been used will continue to be an issue as the debate over the intense pressures on A&E continues. Delays are also being seen when ambulances hand over patients and inside the hospital when patients need to be found beds and when they are ready to be discharged. The problems have even led to a number of hospitals declaring major incidents, which means they take steps such as calling in extra staff and cancelling routine operations, such as knee and hip operations. The committee heard that pressures on A&E would have a knock-on effect on the rest of the health service as priorities shifted to target the four-hour wait. Prof Ham warned other targets were likely to slip later in the year. Prof Keith Willett, the director of acute care for NHS England, said: "We have to do a transformation of the whole system with a particular focus on out-of-hospital services being the way to both reduce demand and also alleviate the issues of congestion within the hospital. "It isn't going to be a quick fix. We have said it will be three to five years to get all of these things in place." The nine include the three organisers of Occupy Central, which evolved into the "umbrella" protest mass movement. The group are expected to be charged with creating a public nuisance. Ms Lam, who was chosen to lead the territory on Sunday, said the law had to be respected. "I made it very clear that I want to unite society and bridge the divide that has been causing us concern," she said. "But all these actions should not compromise the rule of law in Hong Kong. She said prosecution actions were "undertaken independently by the Department of Justice (DOJ)". In a statement, the DOJ said its decision to act was based "purely on legal considerations". It said it handled all its work in an "apolitical manner and free from any interference". Speculation that Ms Lam played a role in the move against the activists was "utterly untrue", it added. Ms Lam, 59, was Beijing's choice to lead the territory. She was chosen to replace outgoing leader CY Leung by a 1,200-member, mostly pro-Beijing, committee. Pro-democracy activists have been campaigning for years for Hong Kong people to have the right to elect their own leader. In 2014, Beijing said it would allow direct elections but only from a list of pre-approved candidates. The offer, which was later voted down by pro-democracy legislators, sparked the mass protests that shut down key parts of the city for several weeks. Three of the nine people who have been told they will be charged - Benny Tai, Reverend Chu Yiu-ming and Dr Chan Kin-man - are the co-founders of the movement from which the protests snowballed. The other six include lawmakers and members of the Hong Kong Federation of Students. 'Tougher policies?' - By Juliana Liu, BBC News, Hong Kong It is not clear why the Hong Kong authorities have waited so long to arrest and charge the leaders of the civil disobedience movement. But coming as it did, more than two years after the end of the 2014 protests, the move is likely to inflame tension further. Speculation has immediately turned to Carrie Lam, the chief executive-elect. The fear among activists is that these charges are a harbinger of tougher policies to come in her administration. But the Department of Justice has come out with a strong statement saying it acted independently. A small number of people were charged soon after the protests. The DOJ did not say why action against this group had taken so long, but stated: "As in other criminal cases, the DoJ generally endeavours to handle cases as soon as possible." The activists say they have been asked to report to police headquarters to be charged. Dr Chan said the authorities were sending a "strong" message. "Carrie Lam said she wanted to mend the society, but the message we got today is prosecution. I don't see how the society's cracks can be mended," he told Reuters news agency. Ms Lam formally takes over on 1 July, the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's handover. Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit the territory to mark its return from British rule - a move likely to spark large protests. Keen's side are bottom of the table, seven points adrift of safety. "There is a gap but there is still a considerable amount of games left. If there was only five or six left we can start panicking," he told BBC Essex. "There's 18 games left and I'm sure the performances will eventually turn into some good results." Since Keen took up his first managerial role on 21 December, when he replaced Tony Humes, Colchester's only victory came in the FA Cup against Championship side Charlton. And the 48-year-old former West Ham and Reading coach admitted: "It's obvious, we need to win football matches." His side face Essex rivals Southend on Saturday - the same opponents for Keen's first match in charge, which Colchester lost 2-0. "Out of the teams we've played they would be one of the better teams," said Keen. "Their home form is normally good, they have a vocal support behind them, (Phil Brown's) a good manager, they've got two or three standout players who make things happen and a strong defence. "I've looked at most of the teams in the League now and maybe apart from the top couple, there's not much between the rest."

She listens to stories with them and even lets them practice their teeth brushing skills on her. Leah's been looking into why Miss Minnie is such a hit with the kids. Daley, who claimed an individual berth with World Championship bronze in 2015, scored 446.40 with Goodfellow at the World Cup to finish third. Freddie Woodward earned GB a second individual 3m springboard Olympic place by reaching the semi-finals. Team GB now has 10 Rio diving spots. Georgia Ward, who attained an individual 10m platform berth on Saturday, achieved a career-best result by reaching her first final at a major event. Daley finished fourth alongside now retired Peter Waterfield at the London 2012 Olympics, but told the BBC last year he would not contest the synchronised event unless he believed there was a genuine chance of winning a Rio medal. He and Goodfellow decided to pair up at the end of 2015 and showed some potential in their competitive debut together at the National Cup in Southend in January. Their performance in Rio was much improved - only bettered by gold medallists China and runners-up Germany. With another five months of training before the Olympics, they will be confident of being in medal contention given the event will only feature eight nations. With Jack Laugher having secured Team GB an individual 3m springboard place by winning bronze at the 2015 World Championships, it was left to his diving partner Chris Mears and Freddie Woodward to secure Britain a second berth. A poor second round dive ruined Mears' prospects, but Woodward produced six impressive routines to reach the semi-finals and attain the Olympic standard. There was also 3m springboard success for former British divers Yona Knight-Wisdom and Oliver Dingley. Knight-Wisdom is set to become Jamaica's first-ever male Olympic diver after qualifying his nation a place, while Dingley claimed a Rio berth for Ireland. The Team GB diving squad for Rio 2016 will not be revealed until after the Olympic trials in June. In Nantes, protesters clashed with security forces. In Paris police fired tear gas at demonstrators outside the National Assembly. Earlier, the cabinet approved using special powers to pass the changes without parliamentary approval. France's Socialist government says the reforms are essential to help cut high levels of unemployment. Two centre-right opposition parties have called a vote of no confidence in the government to be held on Thursday. The changes to the labour laws make it easier for employers to hire and fire but opponents fear they will also enable employers to bypass workers' rights on pay, overtime and breaks. President Francois Hollande has faced months of resistance to the bill from students, unions and even members of his own Socialist Party. Busting the myth of France's 35-hour working week Demonstrators outside the National Assembly called for President Hollande to resign. Protests continued into the night. Police used tear gas against protesters in Grenoble and Montpellier, reports from social media say. There were also demonstrations in Lille, Tours and Marseille. In Toulouse two young protesters were injured in clashes with police, according to Le Parisien (in French). The decision to invoke an article of the constitution to force through the reforms was made after the government failed to reach a compromise on the bill with a group of rebel Socialist MPs. This tactic has only been used once before under President Hollande, again to push though disputed economic reforms. Prime Minister Manuel Valls was booed by MPs from the far left and the conservative opposition when he announced the cabinet's decision to the National Assembly. "Pursuing the debate in parliament would pose the risk of... abandoning the compromise that we have built," he said. The only way the bill can now be stopped is by the motion of censure - a vote of no confidence - that was filed by two right-wing parties on Tuesday. Between them they have 226 of the 288 votes needed to topple the government on Thursday. However, correspondents say they are unlikely to find enough left-wing MPs willing to support them. Fresh protests are set to be held on Thursday to coincide with the confidence vote. Nicholas: "The government is forcing through this law, so we decided to come here. We are not stuck in one place, we are everywhere where it matters. We want to show that people have a voice." Anais, 31, student: "I'm here for real democracy. Without repression." Benoit Coquin, 26: "I think that it's a law that's beginning to destroy the structure of working rights." World number three Murray had to play on to a second day after the contest was rained off at 4-4 on Tuesday. The 28-year-old Scot went a break down in the second set but recovered and faces Gilles Muller of Luxembourg next. "It was tricky conditions, very windy, completely different to yesterday. When the shadow came across it became hard to pick up the ball," said Murray. "I lost my timing in the middle of the second set but came up with some good shots towards the end. "I feel much better on the court. I am hitting my backhand better and it forced Tommy to slice the ball. Then I could dictate the points. It wasn't something I could do early on in the year." Should Murray reach the final in Montreal he will replace Swiss Roger Federer as number two in the world rankings. He last held the position - the highest of his career - in 2013. Third seed Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland went out after withdrawing with a back injury as he trailed Australian Nick Kyrgios in the third set. Croatian US Open champion Marin Cilic also lost, beaten 6-3 6-4 by Bernard Tomic of Australia. Fourteenth-seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria was beaten 5-7 7-6 (7-5) 7-5 by unseeded American Jack Sock, who now plays top seed Novak Djokovic. Spanish seventh seed Rafael Nadal beat Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky 7-6 (7-4) 6-3, while fourth seed Kei Nishikori of Japan went through with a 6-3 6-3 win over Spain's Pablo Andujar. The FA allege that the 57-year-old's words were "improper and/or brought the game into disrepute" after he expressed "surprise" at Madley's appointment. The Spaniard has until 18:00 BST on Tuesday to respond to the charge. The former Liverpool boss could face a £2,000 fine if found guilty by the FA. Benitez's comments came in a pre-match press conference where he questioned Huddersfield-born Madley taking charge of the game, when Huddersfield Town still had a chance of beating the Magpies to second spot in the Championship. Newcastle went on to win the game against North End 4-1 and clinch promotion to the Premier League. "I was really surprised with the assignation, but we have to trust the referees," Benitez had said. "I know it's a difficult job. Hopefully everything will be fine and nobody will be talking about the referee at the end of the game." He faces a vote of no confidence on Thursday after controversial budget cuts which threaten 600 jobs. Business leader Nigel Roberts said Mr Bale was an "embarrassment" and an email from fellow Labour councillor Ralph Cook called for him to step down. Mr Bale dismissed much of the criticism as being of a "deeply personal" nature. He told BBC Radio Wales on Tuesday: "I have got the confidence of colleagues - I feel very comfortable in going into that meeting [on Thursday]. "I think we have to recognise with the general election coming up we will see some politics around this issue but the most important thing for me now is that we focus back on the city." A leaked email from Mr Cook called for Mr Bale to step down to avoid putting the Labour Party "through any more trauma", claiming he and 12 rebels would disobey an order to vote against the motion of no confidence. Mr Bale was elected leader by the ruling Labour group in May 2014 after Heather Joyce stepped down for family reasons. The one-vehicle collision happened on the B852 between Dores and Inverfarigaig, part of General Wade's Military Road. Police were informed of the collision shortly before 12:40. The road was closed while an investigation took place. The man's next-of-kin have been informed. Lady Justice Macur began taking evidence in 2013 about the Waterhouse inquiry which published its findings in 2000. It looked into the abuse of children in care between 1974 and 1996. The Ministry of Justice said the Macur Review would be considered with a view to publication as soon as possible. Leon Briggs, 38, from Luton, died after being held following concerns about his behaviour in the town on Monday. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it believed "that potential criminal offences may have been committed". The offences could include negligence or manslaughter, it said. IPCC Commissioner Mary Cunneen said: "Following a review of the evidence gathered so far, I have determined that this will be a criminal investigation. We are still in the early stages of this investigation and it is important that we do not pre-judge the findings. "However, at this stage we believe there is an indication that potential criminal offences may have been committed including gross negligence and/or unlawful act manslaughter, misconduct in public office, and/or offences under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. "We will also be considering whether any potential disciplinary offences have been committed." Members of the public raised the alarm when they became worried about Mr Briggs's behaviour in Marsh Road, Luton, and he was taken into custody. Ms Cuneen said: "IPCC investigators have obtained and reviewed CCTV from the custody suite at Luton police station and at the junction of Marsh Road and Willow Way. "A number of independent witnesses have been identified, accounts have been taken and IPCC investigators will continue to interview witnesses over the coming days. Local businesses have also provided CCTV footage to assist our investigation. "But we still believe there are a number of other people who may have seen Leon on Monday and we are keen to speak to them, particularly if you were in the Marsh Road area or outside Luton police station." Anyone with information is asked to contact the IPCC investigation team. Mr Briggs' family issued a statement saying: "Leon was a loving father, son and brother. He was a kind, loyal, intelligent, caring person who put his family and others first. "It is important to us to see the seriousness with which the IPCC are approaching the investigation into Leon's death." The team beat the Island Sailing Club from Cowes in the annual cricket contest held on Bramble Bank. David Mead, Vice Commodore of the Royal Southern Yacht Club, said more than 150 people watched the match, which lasted 30 minutes before the tide returned. The teams take turns to win the match, which was first played in the 1950s. Mr Mead said: "I've never seen such a big turn out in all my time at the Bramble Bank cricket match. It was unbelievable. "A good time was had by all and the weather was beautiful." The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 25 civilians had been killed in strikes on a road near the town of Latamina overnight. It also reported rebel gains to the south, near Maardis, 11km (seven miles) from the provincial city of Hama. But state media said army operations in the area had left 50 "terrorists" dead. Troops and allied militiamen had been involved in heavy clashes near Suran and al-Buwaida - both just to the north of Maardis - and destroyed a number of tanks, a military source told the official Sana news agency. "Concentrated strikes" had also targeted "terrorist gatherings" outside nearby Taibat al-Imam, killing several people, the source added. The Syrian Observatory said the rebel offensive, which began on Tuesday, was the biggest co-ordinated operation in Hama province since 2014. It involves the jihadist group Jund al-Aqsa and factions fighting under the banner of the Western-backed Free Syrian Army, according to one of the FSA groups. Sana's report did not mention any territorial losses, but if the rebels were to take control of Hama or the north-south motorway it sits on, they would sever a major government supply line. Local activist Ahmed al-Ahmed told the Associated Press that the government's forces around Hama might have been weakened by its decision to send reinforcements to the divided northern city of Aleppo, where fighting has escalated. The humanitarian adviser to the UN special envoy for Syria said on Thursday that it was urgent a 48-hour "humanitarian pause" in Aleppo be agreed so that supplies of food and medicine could be delivered safely to the city's rebel-held east and government-controlled west. "We were informed today that there are now 4,000 food rations left, that would be enough for 20,000 people and the population of east Aleppo is a quarter of a million," Jan Egeland said. The UN envoy, Staffan de Mistura, said discussions on the humanitarian pause, as well as a wider cessation of hostilities, were currently taking place in Geneva between "very senior military, security and diplomatic officials" from Russia and the US, which support Syria's government and opposition respectively. Mr de Mistura also expressed concern at the government's apparent "strategy" of besieging and bombarding rebel-held areas until their civilian populations surrender, a week after the 6,000 remaining residents of the Damascus suburb of Darayya struck a deal to be evacuated. There were "indications that after Darayya we may have other Darayyas", Mr de Mistura warned, pointing to the government's sieges of al-Wair, a suburb of the central city of Homs, and Muadhamiya, another suburb of Damascus. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 90.93 points, or 0.51%, to 17,919.69. The Nasdaq gained 17.98 points, or 0.39%, reaching 5,145.13, while the S&P 500 index added 5.82 points, or 0.28%, to finish at 2,109.87. Shares in Chevron rose 3.4% and Exxon Mobil was 1.8% higher after oil prices climbed, with Brent crude approaching $50 a barrel. Oil prices rose following news of a strike by oil workers in Brazil, the world's ninth largest producer. Brent crude rose 1.57% to $50.36 a barrel, while US crude was 3.81% higher at $47.90. New car sales were up in the month of October, with most carmakers reporting double-digit growth. General Motors shares were up 0.28% after it reported 16% sales growth in the month compared with 2014. Shares in Candy Crush Saga maker King Digital Entertainment jumped nearly 15% after Activision Blizzard agreed to buy the company for $5.9bn. Shares in Activision rose 3.62%. It started out in 1995 as a maker of rechargeable batteries with just 25 employees. Its batteries soon became standard parts for a large number of the world's mobile phones, and it rapidly expanded into cars and solar energy. By 2009, founder Wang Chuanfu was China's richest man with a net worth estimated at $5.8bn (£3.6bn) and the firm employed some 150,000 people. World renowned investor Warren Buffett also bought a near 10% stake in the firm. In less than two decades BYD had come from nowhere to become one of the largest firms in China. And then it suddenly faltered. Profits fell sharply and in 2011 it was forced to lay off significant numbers of its car sales staff. "In 2008 and 2009, the growth rate of China's car market almost reached 40%, disguising our problems in retailing. As the growth rate slowed down, we had to face those problems," says Mr Wang. He admits the firm "grew too fast". Its decision to move into cars meant it had to switch from selling its products to other companies, to selling directly to consumers - a completely different proposition. It opened too many dealer networks too quickly, many of which made a loss. Getting its rate of expansion right took three years to fix, but Mr Wang says the firm is now back on track. "It was a good path, [I] just had to persevere through it," he says. While it's easy to suggest this is hubris getting its just reward, in China, this extraordinary rate of expansion - or hyper growth - is relatively common. When the Chinese government began to open up the economy in the 1980s, it rocketed from a small emerging economy to a heavyweight, growing many times faster than its western rivals. Yet as BYD demonstrates, such rapid expansion makes it hard for some companies to adapt quickly enough. "Once a company is in hyper growth mode it's important not to lose sight of what made the firm a success in the first place," says leadership expert Steve Tappin. Victor Koo, chief executive of video-sharing giant Youku Tudou, often dubbed China's YouTube, has seen dramatic changes since it launched in 2006. Initially, its users were accessing content almost entirely on desktop computers, now more than 60% of users access content via their mobiles. To ensure its firm could react quickly enough to take advantage of the rapid changes, its philosophy used to be "do before we say and think before we do". But now, Mr Koo says, that is just not fast enough. As a result, it has shaken up its organisational structure to create "quick task teams" which work across different departments, can brainstorm ideas and come up with new ways of doing things. "If you overthink it or you spend too much time thinking about it the opportunity has already passed. And as you experiment [and] explore, your strategies actually formulate themselves. Don't sit still". For an eight-year old firm like Youku Tudou, where ways of working are less established, it can be easier to embrace a more flexible approach, but for older firms it's often harder to shake up the status quo. Online media company Sina Corporation was established 15 years ago and listed on the Nasdaq, the US technology exchange, soon after. This year it listed Weibo - its Twitter-like micro-blogging service - on the Nasdaq in a separate listing. Chairman Charles Chao says that because Weibo was part of Sina, its value and the fact that it was growing much faster than its existing businesses, had not been recognised by investors. The separate listing was aimed at addressing this. But right from the very outset, he says they tried to keep the businesses separate, because Weibo was a very different business to Sina and he didn't want the original company to hold back innovation at the new firm. "I don't think there's a scientific way or a bible you can follow in terms of how to run a high growth company. Our approach is that we separate, we try to create a system that more resembles start-up companies." Deng Feng, chair of Northern Light Venture Capital, a Chinese venture capital firm, says ultimately what can help firms survive or even thrive in a period of rapid expansion is having the right internal culture. He started his own firm in Silicon Valley at the end of 1997 and listed it on the stock exchange just four years later. Despite its ultimate success, he said during the four years there were three occasions when it was close to collapse, due to key people leaving and because at times it had "no money in the bank". At one point it was acquired by another firm which subsequently collapsed. In the end, it managed to get out of the acquisition. "Head hunters tried to recruit them [the staff]. Here, the Chinese culture actually helped. The key engineers that were Chinese, they stayed together and they helped the company and we solved the problem," Mr Deng says. This feature is based on interviews by leadership expert Steve Tappin for the BBC's CEO Guru series, produced by Neil Koenig.

Ant and Dec dedicated their Bafta TV Award to the Queen after winning a prize for their presentation of her 90th birthday celebration event. But Netflix's lavish royal drama The Crown left empty handed even though it had the most nominations. Here are seven things we learned from some of the winners backstage: "I am not going to be the first female Doctor," said Phoebe Waller-Bridge after winning the prize for best female comedy performance. "Not that I know of." The Fleabag star had been the bookies' favourite to take over the lead role in Doctor Who after Peter Capaldi bows out. But speaking after her Bafta win she seemed to settle the rumours once and for all. The actress, who has a role in the untitled Han Solo Star Wars spin-off, admitted she hadn't even started writing series two of Fleabag. "I had an idea on a bus and I thought I might be able to open it up again," she said. "It's galvanizing because you feel like there's something that resonates with people." Planet Earth II won the public vote for TV's must-see moment award for its snakes vs iguana chase. Its makers revealed how every 400 minutes of film shot produces just one minute of screen time. But fans of the natural history show, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, have a long wait before the next one. For a start, Planet Earth III hasn't even been commissioned. And even if it had it wouldn't be on TV screens until 2022 at the earliest. "These things take five years to make even if we started today," said Mike Gunton, the show's executive producer. Sir David wasn't at the ceremony, and the team admitted they hadn't been able to send him a message about the win. "Sadly, texting is not an option," Gunton added. "He doesn't do texting." "It was a horrible year," said Charlie Brooker, after he and his team won best comedy for his satirical review series Wipe. "At one point I said I don't want to do the show because it was so depressing - and then I was reminded we had a contractual obligation and so we had to push on. "We've done these shows for years. Do you remember when it was about a woman dropping a cat in a bin? That was the worst thing that happened that year." Brooker added there were no plans for a snap election special due to lack of time. "This time last year they asked us if we wanted to do an EU referendum Wipe and I said 'that would be boring - who cares about that?'. "Which goes to show how much I know." The Night Manager's Tom Hollander, who won best supporting actor, was the only cast member to be recognised at the Baftas. The six-part thriller, adapted from the 1993 John Le Carre novel, had been the biggest TV winner at the Golden Globes. So many were surprised when it got just one Bafta nod. "This show itself has not been underexposed," admitted Hollander, who played the scheming character Corky. "We all feel we've had our fair share of attention and it's time to exit stage left and stop slapping ourselves on the back. "But I'm utterly thrilled to get an award on home territory." EastEnders star Danny Dyer found out in Who Do You Think You Are? that he is a direct descendant from King Edward III. Speaking after the show was named best feature programme, he said: "There was a bit of a void in my life and I never understood why I was an actor or why I was famous... "To understand that I've got a bloodline that is extremely famous fills a little hole. It's still hard to get my head round." Had any royals been in touch since the programme? "No, they've been blanking me!" he joked. "I wouldn't mind meeting any of them, have a bit of dialogue with them - talk about football or something." Speaking after Saturday Night Takeaway was named best entertainment programme, Ant and Dec confirmed that ITV is "on board" with the idea of a one-off reunion of hit kids' morning show SM:TV Live. The show, which ran from 1998 to 2003, launched the presenting careers of the Geordie duo, who appeared alongside Cat Deeley. Ant said: "We've had first discussions about it and it looks like it's going to go ahead." Expect the show to land in August or Sept 2018 for its 20th anniversary. Dec said: "We'll get the team back together and have a bit of fun on a Saturday morning at 09:25." When Sarah Lancashire picked up her best actress Bafta she thanked The Crown's Claire Foy for "the best 10 hours under a duvet I've ever had". The Happy Valley star explained later that she'd started the first episode at 09:00 on a Sunday and was still watching in bed 10 hours later. "There were so many brilliant performances in it but Claire's was so subtle," Lancashire said. Holding up her gold Bafta mask, she added: "I'd like to be able to chop this in half." The actress also noted how two of her best roles - in Last Tango in Halifax and Happy Valley - had happened in her late 40s. "I can't complain," she said. "At a time when most actresses are disappearing I seemed to become very visible." Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Moyes was angry his side were not given a penalty for the tackle that felled Young during United's 2-1 defeat to Spurs on New Year's Day. He claimed Howard Webb's decision not to award a spotkick was "scandalous". Moyes added: "It's an incredible decision, in fact probably one of the worst I think I saw. If you follow through on a player anywhere else on the pitch with your foot high, it would be a red card." Moyes was unable to offer an update on the fitness of striker Robin van Persie, who has missed the last six matches with a thigh injury. The 31-year-old Portuguese's last deal was set to end in June 2018 but he will now remain with the Spanish giants until June 2021. He added that the new contract would not be the last deal he signs. "What I most want is to continue enjoying the years I have left to play," said the former Manchester United player. "I still have 10 years." Real Madrid president Florentino Perez added: "We want to be together for many years to come." Ronaldo has scored 371 goals since joining Real from United in 2009 and has helped the club win the Champions League twice and La Liga once. While he wants to end his career at the Bernabeu, he admitted: "No-one knows what the future holds." He added: "I'm going to be here for another five years, but let it be known this will not be my last contract. "I have said many times that I carry this club in my heart, it is part of me and it is a special time in my life. "Of course I would like to end my career at this club. I want to be here for many years to come. I want to continue rewriting history at this club." It has been reported his weekly wage will remain at around £365,000. Ronaldo helped Real cement their place at the top of the La Liga table by beating Leganes 3-0 on Sunday. After the game, Real boss Zinedine Zidane described Ronaldo as "unique". Wales became the first country in the world to make it mandatory that all new buildings - such as homes, flats and care homes - be fitted out. Ruthin School's 40-bedroom block for boarding pupils has a system installed. North Wales Fire and Rescue's Stuart Millington said it is "leading the way". He said: "The legislation is intended to reduce the number of deaths and injuries from fire, improve the safety afforded to fire fighters and contribute to the sustainability of new developments." The school's new-build is the first residential facility in north Wales to have sprinklers installed since the legislation came into effect, the service said. However, the new rule has not been welcomed by all, with developer Redrow saying the "red tape" would lead to less new buildings in Wales. Mr Bird, 78, from Barnsley, was regarded as one of the game's most popular and consistent umpires. A guard of honour by the players and a standing ovation from the crowd marked his final Test, between England and India, at Lord's in 1996. After retiring in 1998, he set up the Dickie Bird Foundation which gives grants to under-privileged children. Speaking about the award, Mr Bird told the BBC: "It came as quite a surprise... but I'm tremendously delighted and honoured to get this great honour, this OBE. "It's a marvellous and wonderful honour and I never expected it, really. "It came out of the blue, because I got the MBE in 1986 which is a long time ago, and so when this came along I was completely stunned, shocked." Talking about his foundation, Mr Bird said: "It's for under-privileged kids, who the mothers and parents can't afford to buy them sports equipment... and if we think they are a worthy cause then we send them a grant. "And my aim is to get them off street corners, away from television, doing exercises and giving them a start in life." Other people honoured in South Yorkshire include the county force's recently-retired chief constable, Med Hughes, who has been appointed CBE for his services to the police. World taekwondo champion Sarah Stevenson, from Doncaster, becomes an MBE for her services to martial arts. And Christine Manby has been appointed OBE for her work with South Yorkshire's Women's Royal Voluntary Service. A lot of them just get sent a bag of kits so it's a really unique part of being on this team and it will definitely get us excited and make us feel like we're part of the team going forward. My preparations for Rio are going really well. I had a bit of a blip a couple of weeks ago in Leeds. I was hoping to race a bit better there but things don't always go to plan. I have to re-evaluate and move on. I'm looking forward to racing again in the ITU series race in Stockholm on Saturday, as that will be the last race before the games. Hopefully I can have a good hit out in Stockholm and rectify some of the mistakes and problems that I had in Leeds when I finished ninth. There were a few issues, I had a pretty terrible swim which was unexpected. Training has been going really well but sometimes these things happen. There's no excuse for it. I've had a few weeks to think of what might have happened. I just want to go out in Stockholm and rectify that and have a good race there. It's a quality field and it's a series that brings out some of the top in the field. It will be an opportunity for me, Vicky Holland and Helen Jenkins to actually race together before the games. It will be fun to race with them and see what we can do as a team. Everything is building towards Rio and from Stockholm we're going to go on to St Moritz which is our final big camp before we head out. I'm absolutely looking at a podium again and you always do when you start a world series race, that's the aim. For me it will be to build on Leeds and progress from there, really. We're surrounded by a fantastic medical team and we're constantly being updated on anything that comes through on the Zika virus. I have a lot of confidence in the medical team that they will make smart decisions for us. They would never send us anywhere or let us go anywhere where there was a huge threat to our health. At the moment I don't think that threat is too bad, especially as I'm not planning on having a family myself in the next few years, that's the worry of a lot of the athletes and staff travelling. For me personally at the minute, I'm confident in the decisions that the British medical team are making for us. Everyone's talking about the fact that Wales have got to the quarter finals of Euro 2016 and England haven't, but I think the focus should really be on the fact that Wales have done it. Regardless of how England or any of the other home nations are doing, it's an incredible achievement when you look at where Wales have come from in the past 10 years. Everyone is really proud of them and I think that's why the nation has really got behind it and is excited about what's happening. Anything that happens from now on is an absolute bonus. Hopefully they can ride this crest of success with the excitement behind it and that can put them forward to at least the next round. Find out how to get into triathlon in our special guide. If we make the semi-finals then that will be quite the achievement. I'll try my best to watch Wales play Belgium on Friday night. I'm in Sweden for the ITU World Triathlon event so if I can tune in, that will be fantastic. We'll see what the Swedish football fans are demanding. Belgium are going to be a tough team, they're gaining momentum as the tournament progresses. It's a tough call but the way the boys have been playing so far, I think they can walk away with another win to get them to the semi-final. Non Stanford was speaking to BBC Wales Sport's Jay Freeman.

The first ever reference to London, financial documents and evidence of schooling have also been translated. Over 700 artefacts from the dig will go on display when the building opens. According to MOLA, the tablets reveal the first years of the capital "in the words of the people who lived, worked, traded with and administered the new city". Director Sophie Jackson said the findings had "far exceeded all expectations" and would allow archaeologists "to get closer to the first Roman Britons". Earliest reference to London Researchers believe this tablet, is the earliest ever reference to London predating Tacitus' mention of London in his Annals which were produced about 50 years later. Dated AD 65/70-80, it reads "Londinio Mogontio" which translates to "'In London, to Mogontius". Earliest readable tablet This tablet was found in a layer dated by MOLA to AD 43-53 so is thought to have been from the Romans' first decade of rule. In translation it reads "...because they are boasting through the whole market that you have lent them money. Therefore I ask you in your own interest not to appear shabby... you will not thus favour your own affairs...." Evidence of schooling The letters on this tablet show part of the alphabet: "ABCDIIFGHIKLMNOPQRST" Archaeologists believe it is writing practice, or a demonstration of literacy or letterforms, and possibly the first evidence of Roman schooling found in Britain. Earliest dated document from Roman Britain This tablet reads: " In the consulship of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus for the second time and of Lucius Calpurnius Piso, on the 6th day before the Ides of January (8 January AD 57).I, Tibullus the freedman of Venustus, have written and say that I owe Gratus the freedman of Spurius 105 denarii from the price of the merchandise which has been sold and delivered. This money I am due to repay him or the person whom the matter will concern..." According to MOLA, it is the earliest intrinsically-dated document ever found in the UK, and is a financial document written on 8 January AD 57. The documents were written on wooden tablets which would have been covered in blackened beeswax. Although the wax has not survived, the words were etched into the wood below using styluses. The area is around the buried Walbrook River and objects were trapped in soaking mud which helped to preserve the wood. Once excavated, the tablets were kept in water, then cleaned and freeze-dried. Dr Roger Tomlin, who translated the documents said it had been "a privilege to eavesdrop" on the people of Roman London. The London Mithraeum exhibition will open at the site in autumn 2017. BBC iWonder: The history of handwriting, from tablet to tablet John Bercow said the SNP members deserved respect for the way they turned up in large numbers to support each other in the chamber. But he said he did not believe the party had yet changed the parliament. Mr Bercow was speaking at an the Edinburgh Festival Fringe organised by Edinburgh University's business school. The SNP won 50% of Scottish votes in the general election to secure an unprecedented 56 of the country's 59 Westminster seats. Asked how the Scottish nationalists - who now form the third largest party in the Commons - have changed the parliament, the Speaker said: "The significant thing is not how the SNP have changed parliament, because I don't think yet that they have. "I think the significant thing is that, whatever you think of the SNP, their parliamentary party has said something very significant by its behaviour since May about group solidarity. "They turn up in large numbers, they turn up very regularly, they turn up to support each other and a lot of them are already proving to be very good parliamentarians. "It's not for me to support the SNP or oppose the SNP and I wouldn't dream of doing so, but I'm simply saying respect where it's due." Mr Bercow said Nicola Sturgeon's party had scored a "notable political victory" when it was credited with forcing the Conservatives to shelve plans to water down the hunting ban in England and Wales. In a wide-ranging discussion, Mr Bercow also indicated that the House could change its stance on applause within the chamber if MPs so wished. In May, the Speaker told SNP MPs to stop clapping during a response from the party's Westminster leader Angus Robertson to the Queen's Speech. Asked why they were not allowed to applaud, Mr Bercow said: "I think my attitude to that is if the House wants to change its procedures, it can, if they vote to do so." David Roache, who was convicted in 2002 of murdering John Kelly, died at HMP Low Moss, near Bishopbriggs on Saturday. Police Scotland have been advised of the death and the matter will be reported to the procurator fiscal. The SPS said that the prisoner's next of kin had been informed and that a fatal accident inquiry may be held. The Pole, whose right arm was partially severed in a rally accident in 2011, has driven Mercedes' F1 simulator. Motorsports boss Toto Wolff told BBC Sport Kubica was "helping" Mercedes. "If there's any chance of getting him back in a DTM touring car or F1 cockpit, we'd love to do it," said Wolff. "Any team would love to have a Robert Kubica." But Wolff, also the executive director of the Mercedes F1 team, emphasised that the former BMW and Renault driver was focusing mainly this year on his programme in the European Rally Championship. "He is somebody I have known for 10 years but it's absolutely his call how he wants to help us and his main focus is rallying," said Wolff. "This is where he wants to be successful and what he wants to do in the future." Kubica, 28, is competing in rallying this season as he continues his recovery from the injuries that forced him out of F1 ahead of the 2011 season. The Pole, who was one of the most highly regarded stars in F1, is undergoing regular rehabilitation on his right arm, which still does not have full movement. Kubica posted competitive lap times earlier this year in a Mercedes DTM (German touring car championship) car - during a test arranged by Wolff - and admitted at the weekend that he had been in the Mercedes F1 simulator. BBC Sport understands the door is open for Kubica to continue to use the Mercedes simulator should he wish to do so. Kubica has made no secret of the fact that he wants to return to F1 eventually, assuming he can recover sufficient movement in his right arm to allow him to operate an F1 car within the tight confines of its cockpit. "There is no guarantee I will or will not come back to F1," he told Autosport magazine on last weekend's Rally Azores. He added: "Unfortunately, my F1, not career, but my F1 story got interrupted, so I found rallying was my best option to slowly come back. For this year, it was what I was looking for." Kubica's former team Lotus, which changed its name from Renault ahead of the 2012 season, have also made it clear they would welcome Kubica back. And Ferrari have in the past made no secret of their admiration for his skills. But the fact Kubica is now being given access to the Mercedes simulator - one of any F1 team's most closely guarded secrets - suggests they would be his number one option should he recover sufficiently to allow him to race in the sport again. The Super Eagles were toothless in front of goal in the first leg, which ended 0-0, and needed 52 minutes of the return game to make the breakthrough. Moses Simon fired them ahead, finally ending the resistance of a team they were expected to sweep aside. A second goal was added by Efe Ambrose on 88 minutes before Swaziland had Phumlani Dlamini sent off when he was shown a second yellow card. Another of the continent's heavyweights, Ghana, secured their passage in very similar fashion to Nigeria. Having been held 0-0 to Comoros in the first leg, the Black Stars hit two goals without reply in the return match to go through 2-0 on aggregate. Wakaso Mubarak grabbed the opener and Aston Villa's Jordan Ayew added the second late on. And just as Swaziland ended their match with 10 men, so too did Comoros when Omar Mdahoma received a second yellow card with eight minutes remaining. Egypt made the most of Chad's late arrival to win easily 4-0 to go through 4-1 on aggregate. Chad only arrived at the Borg Al Arab stadium in 30 minutes before kick-off. This after their flight from N'Djamena was delayed due to a row over player bonuses and then the condition of the plane they were using for the journey. The Pharaoh's were 2-0 up inside 10 minutes with goals from Mohamed El Neny and then Abdalallah El Saied. Portugal based Koka then headed home twice in the space of five minutes before half-time to put the game beyond doubt. Cape Verde, fourth in the Fifa rankings for Africa, beat Kenya 2-0 to overturn a first leg loss and win 3-2 on aggregate. Heldon Ramos, who is on loan at Portguese side Rio Ave, with both goals for the Blue Sharks. Kenya had only arrived in Praia hours before the match after a lengthy flight from Nairobi following a delayed departure as players and the charter airline demanded to be paid before they would take off. Mali were another side to overcome a first leg deficit winning 2-0 against visiting Botswana to make 3-2 overall. Bordeaux's Cheick Diabate made it 2-2 on aggregate with a penalty after only 10 minutes of play Bakary Sako of Crystal Palace, gave the Eagles lead on the half hour mark. Senegal were pushed all the way in the first leg by Madagascar but were better at home in Dakar with a 3-0 victory to make it 4-2 overall. West Ham midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate gave the hosts the lead midway through the first-half with Moussa Konate scoring the second eight minutes after the break. Mame Biram Diouf, who scored in the first leg, made sure of the win with eight minutes remaining. Tunisia eased past Mauritania with a second 2-1 win, to make it 4-2 overall. Defender Syam Ben Youssef gave the hosts the lead early in the second half before Moulaye Ahmed 'Bessam' Khalil gave Mauritania hope with an equaliser. Substitute Saad Bguir, who plays for local club Esperance, sealed the victory for the hosts. African champions Ivory Coast were convincing 3-0 winners over Liberia in Abidjan to complete a 4-0 aggregate win. Striker Giovanni Sio, who plays for Rennes in France, scored twice before half-time. While Nice midfielder Jean Michel Seri was also on target for the Elephants. Burkina Faso overturned a first leg deficit against Benin with a 2-0 victory in Ouagadougou. Jonathan Pitroipa was on target from the penalty spot before Chelsea's Bertrand Traore completed the comeback and send the Burkinabe through 3-2 on aggregate. Algeria crushed 10-man Tanzania 7-0 in Blida with Porto's Yacine Brahimi scoring as early as the first minute. Napoli's Faouzi Ghoulam then scored the first of his two goals with a superb freekick from outside the area, he also scored from the penalty spot after the break. Tanzania had to play the whole of the second half with 10 men after Mudathir Yahya was dismissed for a second bookable offence after 41 minutes. Moments later Riyad Mahrez, of Leicester City, made it 3-0 at half-time. Islam Slimani, who scored the goals to secure a 2-2 draw in the first leg, grabbed another brace in the second half including a penalty. Carl Medjani was also on the scoresheet as the Algerians won 9-2 on aggregate. South Africa needed an own goal to earn a narrow 1-0 win over visiting Angola in Durban. Manucho Diniz was the unfortunate player who got the last touch on a corner to give Bafana Bafana the 4-1 aggregate win. Libya were the first team on Tuesday to book their place in the next round after a 3-1 win in Rwanda gave them a 4-1 aggregate victory. Khumaj put the visitors ahead in the second leg to put them in control of the tie. Rwanda's Jacques Tuyisenge made it 1-1 on the day and offered his side some hope of a comeback but Libya pulled away thanks to a brace from Mohamed Ghanudi. And Cameroon are through, despite being held to a 0-0 draw at home to Niger. The Indomitable Lions secured their passage in the first leg with a 3-0 win. Congo finally emerged victorious after a fantastic tussle with Ethiopia, the Red Devils winning their second leg 2-1 to go through 6-4 on aggregate. Ethiopia's Getaneh Kebede scored the opening goal of the second leg to level the tie at 4-4 on aggregate. But Francis N'Ganga nudged Congo ahead overall when he made it 1-1 on the day and Thievy Bifouma's strike sealed his side's victory. The final group stage begins next October, the 20 second-round qualifiers will form five groups of four teams with the winners of each group booking their place at the finals in Russia. England host Malta on Saturday (17:00 BST) and visit Slovenia on Tuesday (19:45 BST) in World Cup qualifiers. The Everton veteran's withdrawal from Gareth Southgate's first squad as interim boss increases the chances of a debut for Burnley's Michael Keane. Keane, 23, was added to the squad after Glen Johnson also withdrew through injury. Southgate called up winger Andros Townsend on Monday as a replacement for the injured Raheem Sterling. But he has no immediate plans to call up a replacement for Jagielka. Chelsea defender Gary Cahill missed training at England's St George's Park base on Friday with a sort throat but is expected to be fit to face Malta. The injury to Jagielka is not thought to be serious with Everton's captain expected to be fit for the his side's trip to Premier League leaders Manchester City next Saturday. England are behind Group F leaders Scotland on goal difference following a 1-0 win in Slovakia last month under former boss Sam Allardyce, who lost his job after just 67 days in charge. Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster (Southampton), Joe Hart (Torino, on loan from Manchester City), Tom Heaton (Burnley) Defenders: Ryan Bertrand (Southampton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Michael Keane (Burnley), Danny Rose (Tottenham), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kyle Walker (Tottenham) Midfielders: Eric Dier (Tottenham), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Michail Antonio (West Ham), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Dele Alli (Tottenham), Andros Townsend (Crystal Palace) Strikers: Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Jamie Vardy (Leicester) The Met Office says cold weather will continue throughout Thursday and it will remain very cold until the beginning of next week. The wintry weather gave snowboarders a chance to take to the heights of Divis Mountain in Belfast. Many parts of Belfast were affected by the snow, particularly those on higher ground. Stevie Anderson's picture shows Woodvale Park at first light on Thursday morning. The winter sun rises over the Glenshane Pass, as BBC cameraman Peter Jones captured this morning. In Ballynure, Country Antrim, the snow made driving conditions difficult when several inches fell overnight. Many parts of east Antrim experienced heavy snow and disruption, but it also gave Bob Farmbrough the opportunity to photograph the snow lying on the trees overlooking Carrickfergus. Fields in Boardmills, County Down, were also covered with snow, as Dennis Sheridan's picture shows. The snow also covered the peaks of the Mourne mountains, as this picture by Lauren Harte shows, taken from Newcastle. BBC News reporter Julian Fowler took this image while filming, showing parts of the Clogher Valley in County Tyrone covered with snow. The Met Office issued an amber weather warning for snow, which started falling on Wednesday evening. This picture by Philip Palmer was taken just under Dromore viaduct in County Down. The judge indicated that the confiscation order could force Hayes to sell his family's home. The Serious Fraud Office had targeted more than £2m of his assets, but described the order as "substantial". Last year Hayes was jailed for 11 years for manipulating the Libor rate. He was convicted an eight counts of conspiracy to defraud while working for UBS and Citigroup during the period between 2006 and 2010. In his court ruling judge Judge Jeremy Cooke said: "I am satisfied that the defendant is unable to pay the full amount immediately and therefore order that whatever cannot be paid immediately to be paid within 3 months." He added that if Hayes could only pay off the amount by selling his house, then the court could extend that deadline. The court order identified several items that could used to pay off the order, including: If Hayes fails to meet the terms of the confiscation order, then he faces another three years in jail. Hayes's trading activities were based on Libor - the London interbank offered rate - an interest rate used by banks around the world to set the price of financial products worth trillions of pounds. The ability to organise even minor movements in the rate had the potential to generate bumper profits for a trader. During Hayes's trial, jurors were told that he promised to pay a broker up to $100,000 to keep the Libor rate "as low as possible". The court heard that manipulating the Libor rate was so commonplace that an offer of a Mars bar could get it changed. In January six City brokers were cleared of helping Hayes rig Libor. Commenting on today's court order, Mark Thompson, head of the SFO's Proceeds of Crime Division, said: "The court acknowledged the challenges of quantifying the benefit from crime in this case. "The SFO provided the court with all the available information and the outcome is a substantial confiscation order, which Mr Hayes will need to satisfy or face a further period of imprisonment." Shi, a representative of Fosun, will move to the West Midlands next month to be involved on a "day-to-day basis". He led negotiations on behalf of Fosun, which led to their £45m takeover of Wolves from Steve Morgan in July 2016. "I think this will help us to work together even closer, and make our leadership team stronger," said Shi. "Since Fosun became owners of the club, I have travelled over from China on several occasions, and it has always been a strong intention that I would relocate when the time was right. "Despite the season having its highs and lows, I have enjoyed every minute of the challenge so far, and I believe we are well placed to make sustained and consistent progress over the next 12 months." Wolves, who finished 15th in the Championship last season, have had four managers in less than a year under Fosun, with former Porto and Valencia boss Nuno Espirito Santo appointed last month. She has left her job as human resource development minister, but will remain in the cabinet as textiles minister. Mr Modi has also inducted 19 new ministers in his government in a bid to improve efficiency. The new ministers, including former journalist MJ Akbar and MP Arjun Ram Meghwal, were sworn-in on Tuesday. Ms Irani has been replaced by former environment minister Prakash Javadekar. Senior cabinet ministers - Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar - have retained their posts. Ms Irani's critics often accused her of bringing right-wing ideas to India's education system - allegations she always denied. But under her watch, several universities witnessed protests from students over issues of discrimination and freedom of speech. Twitter users were divided over the news, some praised Ms Irani for her work but others felt relieved that she had been removed from the education ministry. Some who were happy with the change tweeted using the #ByeByeSmriti: Meanwhile, the inclusion of three new ministers from the northern state of Uttar Pradesh is seen as an attempt to boost Mr Modi's party's chances of winning state elections due in 2017. The government now has 13 ministers from India's most populous state. Mr Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 73 out of 80 seats in the 2014 general election and it is hoping for a big win in next year's assembly polls. The state has been ruled by regional parties for the past 15 years. Correspondents say that Mr Modi will expect his new ministers to promote his policies in Uttar Pradesh to attract voters. This weekend saw only one team below the Premier League left unbeaten, two League One clubs joining forces to protest against their owners and another not quite hitting the spot on social media. Here are five stories you may have missed from Saturday's EFL action. It is very rare new managers are appointed mid-season because things are looking rosy. A change of gaffer is a chance to provide fresh impetus, improve results and, hopefully, change the overall course of a season. Step forward Neil Warnock, Steve McClaren and Steve Bruce. Warnock's Cardiff side had lost six of their past seven before Friday night's 2-1 victory over Bristol City, while McClaren's return to Derby County saw a 1-0 win over Leeds United. In the West Midlands derby, former Birmingham City boss Bruce's Aston Villa could not make it a clean sweep as they drew 1-1 with Wolves. Still, I'm sure all three chairmen will be happy - for now. The game at Villa Park was arguably the biggest derby in the EFL this weekend - but there were also a couple you might be less familiar with. In Greater Manchester, the 'M66 derby' is named after the stretch of motorway that separates Rochdale and Bury, and on Saturday Dale won a sixth game in a row as they came out on top 2-0 at home. In League Two, two late goals in the so-called 'Dockyard derby' between Plymouth and Portsmouth saw it finish 2-2 at Home Park. And, back to Friday, and Warnock's first game was also his first 'Severnside derby', which is what games between Cardiff City and Bristol City are called. So there you go, pub quiz fans. We're now two months into the season and, with most clubs having played 13 league matches so far, only one EFL team remains unbeaten - League Two's Carlisle United. Bradford City and the Cumbrians both went into the weekend as the only sides without a defeat, but the Bantams lost at Oxford United, leaving Keith Curle's side standing proud after they beat Hartlepool United 3-2. Carlisle are third after their win, four points behind leaders Plymouth, with a record of six wins and seven draws. The only time they have tasted defeat so far in the 2016-17 campaign was their EFL Cup second-round exit to Derby, when they lost 14-13 on penalties. In a show of solidarity between two sets of fans unhappy with their clubs' ownership, Charlton Athletic and Coventry City supporters united on a protest march before their game at The Valley. Addicks followers are unhappy with the way owner Roland Duchatelet and chief executive Katrien Meire are running their club, with Sky Blues fans taking issue with the way club owners Sisu are handling matters affecting their team. After the march, the game was stopped for five minutes as plastic toy pigs had to be cleared from the pitch, having been thrown on by both sets of supporters. Protests continued throughout the match, which Charlton won 3-0 to leave them 15th, with Coventry bottom of League One. Social media can be a wonderful tool to connect with people all over the world. Football clubs use it for behind-the-scenes footage, live coverage throughout games and also for team news as soon as it is announced. However, Burton Albion's post revealing their substitutes' bench for their Championship game at Wigan Athletic was not the easiest to digest... White font on yellow background - not the best choice? The tweet was shared numerous times as Saturday progressed and the graphic got quite the treatment when it came to being reviewed.

Earlier, the US president visited the Globe theatre and watched actors perform scenes from Hamlet. It came a day after he said Britain would be at "the back of the queue" for US trade deals if it left the EU. His comments angered Leave campaigners. UKIP leader Nigel Farage accused him of doing Downing Street's "bidding" and "talking down Britain" and Tory Liam Fox said his views were "irrelevant". Following his appearance at Lindley Hall in London, Mr Obama met Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Mr Corbyn said he had had an "excellent" discussion with the president on issues including the challenges facing post-industrial societies, the power of global corporations, technology, inequality, poverty, and "very briefly" the subject of Europe. Taking questions from young people at the earlier town-hall event, Mr Obama said change takes time. "If any of you begin to work on an issue that you care deeply about, don't be disappointed if a year out things haven't been completely solved," he said. "Don't give up and succumb to cynicism if after five years poverty has not been eradicated and prejudice is still out there somewhere and we haven't resolved all of the steps we need to take to reverse climate change." Progress is "not inevitable" but must be fought for over the long term, he said. Mr Obama said it was "inspiring" meeting young people, which "gives [him] new ideas". Asked about security and attitudes to Muslims, he said keeping people safe and preventing terrorist attacks in the US and UK was "one of our biggest challenges". The US president said there was "a tiny subset of groups that have perverted Islam" and our "greatest allies" in tackling extremism in the US were those "Muslim Americans who are historically fully integrated in our society". He said Islamophobia was not only wrong but "as a practical matter... self-defeating behaviour if we are serious about terrorism". Being careful with language used in relation to Muslims and respecting people's faiths were "security matters, not just feel-good, liberal political correctness", he said. Mr Obama also praised Prime Minister David Cameron for being "ahead of the curve" on LGBT rights issues. He said the campaign for marriage equality in the US and elsewhere had "probably been the fastest set of changes in terms of a social movement that [he'd] seen". Asked about his legacy as president, Mr Obama said he would not have a sense until 10 years from now. But he added: "I'll look at a scorecard at the end... I think that I have been true to myself." He mentioned changes he had made to the US healthcare system: "That's something I'm proud of," he said. "And saving the world economy from a great depression, that was pretty good." Asked about skills in dealing with political opponents and finding common ground, Mr Obama said: "If you spend time with people who just agree with you, you become even more extreme in your convictions. "Seek out people who don't agree with you. That will teach you to compromise. "Compromise does not mean surrendering what you believe." Mr Obama's comments came on the second full day of his three-day visit to the UK, and weeks ahead of the 23 June in-out referendum. Speaking at a joint news conference with Mr Cameron on Friday, Mr Obama said the US "wants Britain's influence to grow - including within Europe". "The UK is at its best when it's helping to lead a strong European Union. It leverages UK power to be part of the EU. "I don't think the EU moderates British influence in the world, it magnifies it." The university says new legislation proposed by the right-wing Fidesz government on Tuesday night makes it impossible for it to function. The CEU's founder, philanthropist George Soros, has a strained relationship with the PM Viktor Orban. But the government says it supports the university and does not want it to go. Education Secretary Laszlo Palkovics said the proposed legislation followed a review of 28 foreign universities operating in Hungary, including the CEU in Budapest. "This is not an anti-CEU investigation and not against Mr Soros," he said. The Hungary-born billionaire founded the university in 1991 and continues to fund it. He wanted the CEU to be a bastion of liberal thought and promote the values of an open society and democracy. But the university appears to have become the latest target in a campaign by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government against liberal values. The government says the CEU and other foreign-funded universities are operating outside the law, and that the new legislation aims to create a new legal footing. The CEU, established and registered in New York State, is an independent, private university for masters and PhD students from more than 100 countries. If approved by parliament, the law would mean the university can only continue working if an intergovernmental agreement between US President Donald Trump and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is signed, and if the university establishes a campus in the US by February next year. The first is unlikely - both Mr Trump and Mr Orban are sworn enemies of Mr Soros. The second is physically impossible. Twenty-seven other foreign universities will be affected by the legislation, Education Secretary Laszlo Palkovics told the BBC, and all must abide by the new law. Only the CEU has no campus in its home country, the US. But CEU Rector Michael Ignatieff says the university is fully legal and the new law has been designed to disable it. "We will defend our achievements vigorously against anyone who seeks to defame our work in the eyes of the Hungarian people," he said. The new rules would force the CEU to change its name, set up a campus in New York, change its curriculum and become subservient to both the US and Hungarian governments. Protesting staff and students are now seeking the support of other universities, both in Hungary and worldwide. It comes at a time of deteriorating relations between US President Donald Trump and Mr Soros, who recently described the new occupant of the White House as "an imposter, a [political] conman and a would-be dictator". Relations between Mr Soros and Mr Orban - a keen supporter of the US president - also became strained when Mr Orban accused him of wanting a role in Hungarian politics and supporting the influx of migrants into Europe. Mr Orban recently claimed Hungary was "under siege" from asylum seekers. The prime minister won a scholarship sponsored by Mr Soros to study at Oxford university and the pair were allies in the days immediately following the fall of communism. But with the two now at loggerheads, NGOs partially funded by Mr Soros' Open Society Foundation are under pressure to close in Hungary. A three-year ban is in place on killing fish outside estuary limits with strict controls on numbers in inland waters. The Annan Common Good Fund holds the rights to traditional fishing methods such as haaf, poke and stake netting in much of the area. It has estimated the annual cost of the regulations is nearly £17,000 and hopes to reclaim it from Marine Scotland. The new regulations have sparked concerns for the future of some of the historic fishing methods used in the waters off Dumfries and Galloway. When they were introduced the Scottish government said it was aware of the "cultural importance" of haaf netting. Now the Annan Common Good Fund is being asked to submit a compensation claim for the losses it believes it will incur. It is also being asked to agree take part in scientific research which will allow some salmon to be caught. It claimed on Monday, in an article published on its English-language website, that censors had deleted an interview on the issue of free speech. But by Tuesday evening that article appeared to have been deleted as well. Chinese media is heavily regulated with government censors often removing content on websites and social media. Caixin's latest article, which is now offline but still available to read as a cached version online, reported that the "government censorship organ" the Cyberspace Administration of China had deleted an interview on its Chinese-language site on 5 March. The interview was with Jiang Hong, a delegate from the advisory Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, who said members should be allowed to speak freely, but because of "certain events, everyone is a bit dazed and doesn't want to talk too much". Caixin, in its Monday article, said that editors were told the interview had "illegal content" and "violated laws and regulations". It also quoted Mr Jiang's reaction to the deletion as "terrible and bewildering... I couldn't see anything illegal." Beijing-based Caixin is widely respected in China, and is known for its financial reporting and investigative journalism. The move comes after last month's tour of state media outlets by President Xi Jinping. It was widely seen as confirmation of his desire to bring journalists to heel and to stamp out what his government derides as dangerous "Western values" such as freedom of expression, correspondents say. In 2015, China was the world's top jailer of journalists with a record 49 reporters behind bars, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists., and Freedom House has ranked the country as the world's worst abuser of internet freedom. The midfielder took a kick to the foot but Arsene Wenger said it was just a "precautionary" measure. Leicester's Wes Morgan is out with a hamstring injury while Nampalys Mendy's season is over following an ankle operation. Robert Huth is back after a Champions League ban, but Islam Slimani remains sidelined with a groin injury. Simon Brotherton: "I love that picture of Arsene Wenger celebrating at the weekend as his team beat Manchester City at Wembley - an intense release of joy and relief and a rare moment for him to truly enjoy in a turbulent campaign. "Wenger's reorganised defensive strategy seems to be working and a rejuvenated Arsenal will be put to the test both here and in the North London derby at the weekend. "Leicester haven't won any of the last 20 league meetings against the Gunners but have won five of the last seven league matches under Craig Shakespeare, and are more than capable of making a game of this encounter." Twitter: @SimonBrotherton Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "It looks like we will [have to win all our remaining games to finish in the top four]. That has to be the target and to achieve that we have to win the next one [against Leicester]. "We have to take the energy level we showed on Sunday into the Premier League." Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare: "I'm not sure how many points it will take [to avoid relegation] and the weekend proved that. Teams are capable of winning games and putting points on the board. "We have to make sure we look after our own club. You are not sure what's round the corner." "Seeing the Arsenal [FA Cup semi-final] match, it didn't look like turmoil to me. There were players fighting and they thoroughly deserved the win in the end, even though it was a close game."

The 19-year-old centre-half becomes the third defensive signing made by interim manager Rob Page inside a fortnight. Bournemouth loan man Stephane Zubar made his Vale debut in Tuesday night's 3-2 Johnstone's Paint trophy defeat, while West Bromwich Albion youngster Reiss Greenidge is yet to figure. Vale, who are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, are likely to give Streete his debut on Saturday against Yeovil. Streete, who has signed for an initial month, has been watched by Page and chairman Norman Smurthwaite several times in recent weeks for Newcastle's under-21s. Its name is an Arabic acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement, originating as it did in 1987 after the beginning of the first intifada, or Palestinian uprising, against Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. It originally had a dual purpose of carrying out an armed struggle against Israel - led by its military wing, the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades - and delivering social welfare programmes. But since 2005, it has also engaged in the Palestinian political process, becoming the first Islamist group in the Arab world to win election through the ballot box (before reinforcing its power in Gaza by ousting its Fatah rivals). Hamas as a whole, or in some cases its military wing, is designated a terrorist group by Israel, the US, EU, and UK, as well as other powers. Under its charter, the group is committed to the destruction of Israel. To its supporters, though, Hamas is seen as a legitimate resistance movement. In May 2017, the group published a new policy document for the first time since its founding. It declared a willingness to accept an interim Palestinian state within pre-1967 boundaries, without recognising Israel, and did not repeat the anti-Jewish language of its charter. The text was seen as an effort by Hamas to soften its image, though the group made clear it did not replace the charter. In 2006, Hamas won a stunning victory in the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) elections, but tensions with the rival Fatah faction of Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas heightened. Deadly clashes between Fatah and Hamas erupted in Gaza in June 2007, after which Hamas set up a rival government, leaving Fatah and the PA running parts of the West Bank not under Israeli control. Israel held Hamas responsible for all attacks emanating from the Gaza Strip, and has carried out three major military campaigns in Gaza - Operation Cast Lead in December 2008, Operation Pillar of Defence in November 2012, and Operation Protective Edge in July 2014. The offensives were preceded by escalations in cross-border fighting, with scores of rocket attacks from Gaza, and air strikes against it by Israel. Hamas emerged from the 2008 and 2012 conflicts militarily degraded but with renewed support among Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank for having confronted Israel and survived. The group nevertheless continued to struggle under the joint blockade imposed on Gaza by Israel and Egypt, and became increasingly isolated after falling out with regional powers in the wake of the Arab Spring. The overthrow in July 2013 of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, a key ally, was a further blow. In April 2014, Hamas agreed a reconciliation deal with Fatah that led to the formation a national unity government, but it has never been fully implemented. Hamas came to prominence after the first intifada as the main Palestinian opponent of the Oslo peace accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO). Despite numerous Israeli operations against it and clampdowns by the Palestinian Authority, Hamas found it had an effective power of veto over the process by launching suicide attacks. In February and March 1996, it carried out several suicide bus bombings, killing nearly 60 Israelis, in retaliation for the assassination in December 1995 of Hamas bomb maker Yahya Ayyash. The bombings were widely blamed for turning Israelis off the peace process and bringing Benjamin Netanyahu - a staunch opponent of the Oslo accords - to power. In the post-Oslo world, most particularly following the failure of US President Bill Clinton's Camp David summit in 2000 and the second intifada which followed shortly thereafter, Hamas gained power and influence as Israel clamped down on the Palestinian Authority, which it accused of sponsoring deadly attacks. Hamas organised clinics and schools, which served Palestinians who felt let down by the corrupt and inefficient Palestinian Authority, dominated by the Fatah faction. Many Palestinians cheered the wave of Hamas suicide attacks in the first years of the second intifada. They saw "martyrdom" operations as avenging their own losses and Israel's settlement building in the West Bank, wanted by Palestinians as part of their own state. After the death of Fatah leader Yasser Arafat in 2004, the Palestinian Authority was taken over by Mahmoud Abbas. He viewed Hamas rocket fire as counter-productive, inflicting relatively little damage on Israel but provoking a harsh response by the Israeli military. When Hamas scored a landslide victory in 2006, the stage was set for a bitter power-struggle with Fatah. Hamas resisted all efforts to get it to sign up to previous Palestinian agreements with Israel, as well as to recognise Israel's legitimacy and to renounce violence. Hamas's charter defines historic Palestine - including present-day Israel - as Islamic land and it rules out any permanent peace with the Jewish state. The charter also repeatedly makes attacks on Jews as a people, drawing charges that the movement is anti-Semitic. Hamas has, however, offered a 10-year truce in return for a complete Israeli withdrawal from territories occupied in 1967: the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. It insists though that millions of Palestinian refugees stemming from the 1948 war must be allowed to return to homes in what became Israel - a move that would threaten Israel's very existence. Over the years Hamas has lost many members in Israeli assassinations and security sweeps: After the death of Sheikh Yassin, Khaled Meshaal became the group's political leader in exile. He was succeeded by Gaza-based Ismail Haniya in May 2017. Hamas's decision to stand in elections in 2006 was a major departure for the movement. The new government was subjected to tough economic and diplomatic sanctions by Israel and its allies in the West. After Hamas ousted Fatah from Gaza in 2007, Israel tightened its blockade on the territory, and rocket-fire and Israeli counter-raids continued. In December that year, Israel launched Operation Cast Lead - a 22-day offensive aimed, Israel said, at halting rocket attacks from Gaza. More than 1,300 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed. Israel cited the same reason for Pillar of Defence in 2012- which began with an air strike that killed Ahmed Jabari, the Qassam Brigades commander. Some 170 Palestinians - mostly civilians - and six Israelis died in the eight-day conflict. Palestinian sources say Hamas largely tried to maintain calm after the conflict ended, with the Qassam Brigades not joining in the rocket attacks on Israel. But Hamas also did not move to halt the rocket fire altogether, apparently because it was concerned that Palestinians would see it as less committed to fighting Israel than rival militant groups, particularly Islamic Jihad. Rocket fire increased in mid-June 2014 when Israel arrested many Hamas members across the West Bank while searching for three murdered Israeli teenagers. Then on 7 July, Hamas claimed responsibility for firing rockets at Israel for the first time since 2012, and Hamas and Israel became embroiled in the most intensive fighting for months. The fighting ended after 50 days with a ceasefire. At least 2,189 Palestinians were killed, including more than 1,486 civilians, according to the UN. On the Israeli side, 67 soldiers were killed along with the six civilians. US President Barack Obama said "energy is obviously a central focus of our efforts", acknowledging it "will have some impact on the global economy". He was speaking after talks in Brussels with EU leaders. In a keynote speech later, he said Russians "will recognise that they cannot achieve security, prosperity and status... through brute force". "That's why, throughout this crisis, we will combine our substantial pressure on Russia with an open door for diplomacy," he told an audience at the end of his visit to Brussels. Tensions are high between the West and Russia after Ukraine's southern peninsula of Crimea was annexed by Russian forces earlier this month after a referendum which Kiev and its Western allies considered illegal. Mr Obama, along with EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy and EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barosso, stressed EU and US unity on the issue of Ukraine. "The world is safer and more just when Europe and America stand as one," Mr Obama said. Mr Van Rompuy called it a "crucial" relationship. Mr Obama praised the 28-nation EU bloc for the steps it had already taken - along with the US - to penalise Russia. These have included visa bans and asset freezes against a number of Russian officials. He said those actions were taken after Russian forces moved in to annex Crimea, and they now must consider "the potential for additional, deeper sanctions" should Moscow attempt to do the same in other parts of Ukraine. "We recognise that in order for Russia to feel the impact of these sanctions, it will have some impact on the global economy as well as on all the countries represented here today," Mr Obama said. Acknowledging that some EU countries were more dependent than others on Russia for energy, he said "this entire event has pointed to the need for Europe to look at how it can further diversify its energy sources". And he said Nato must remain a "regular presence" in those eastern European countries which feel vulnerable to possible Russian intervention. He also voiced concern at the falling defence budgets of some countries. Mr Van Rompuy called Russia's actions in Crimea "a disgrace in the 21st Century, and we will not recognise it". Pro-Russian forces began moving it to take key sites in Crimea days after Ukraine's pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted. He left power following months of bloody protests over his decision to seek greater ties with Moscow rather than the EU. This is Mr Obama's first official visit to the EU headquarters in Brussels. He began his trip to Belgium with a visit to a cemetery in Flanders, where US soldiers killed in World War One are buried. He paid tribute to fallen US soldiers at the American Cemetery and Memorial in Waregem, to mark 100 years since the start of WW1. Belgian King Philippe and Prime Minister Elio di Rupo were also in attendance. Mr Obama's talks with Mr Van Rompuy and Mr Barroso also covered plans to finalise a transatlantic trade partnership, as well as efforts to tackle Iran's nuclear programme and Syria's chemical weapons. He then met Nato Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen before delivering his keynote speech in Brussels' Palace of Fine Art. The president flew in on Tuesday evening from the Dutch city of The Hague where he attended a summit on nuclear security with other world leaders. Security is high in the Belgian capital, with police cordoning off areas near the EU headquarters and Mr Obama's hotel. Some extra 800 police officers have been deployed on Brussels' streets for the duration of Mr Obama's visit. In total, Belgium has spent 10m euros (£8.35m) on increased security. The US president will stay in Brussels for less than 24 hours before travelling to Rome for a meeting with Pope Francis. Another 37 people were given imprisoned for between three and 35 years. The attacks, which left 39 foreign nationals and Saudis dead, were part of a campaign by an al-Qaeda offshoot that aimed to destabilise the Gulf kingdom. The authorities subsequently launched a three-year crackdown on the jihadist group, imprisoning thousands of people. Although al-Qaeda has since struggled to operate in Saudi Arabia, a number of Saudis formed al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in neighbouring Yemen in 2009 and have become senior operatives. The five men sentenced to death on Sunday have not been named. However, the Sabq news website said they had been found guilty of rigging the car bombs used to attack the residential compounds. The Saudi Gazette newspaper reported that one was a former guard at al-Hayer prison who had "sheltered one of the wanted terrorists" and been involved in a gun battle with police at an apartment complex in 2003. The Scotland Under-21 international has faced Rovers twice this season, for the Addicks and also on loan at Cardiff.

People in Scotland pay the price of a local phone call when calling the advice service from a landline, with calls from a mobile often costing more. The demand for a free service, by Tory health speaker Jackson Carlaw, comes as Westminster moves to introduce a free, one-stop number in England and Wales. The Scottish government said it was also considering adopting the new, free-to-use 111 number. NHS Direct - the equivalent service to NHS 24 in England - is gradually being replaced by the 111 service. It is already operating in many areas south of the border, and is due to be rolled out across England and Wales this year. When a patient calls 111, an operator - who is trained in the same way as a 999 operator - can send out an ambulance, put someone straight through to a nurse, book an out-of-hours GP appointment, or direct the caller to a pharmacist or dentist. Operators answering calls to the existing NHS Direct service do not have the capacity to request ambulances or book appointments - and patients also receive a separate call back if they need to speak to a nurse or doctor. Mr Carlaw said: "The SNP has ignored this issue for more than three years now, while the plans for an improved service have gone full steam ahead down south. "This will be yet another area in health where patients in Scotland will be literally worse off than people elsewhere in the UK seeking vital health advice. "Not only would this open up access to medical advice to those who may not have used it before, it could bring a number of other benefits. "In some areas of England they have innovated very successfully, such as some GP practices allowing the 111 service to book emergency appointments with them." A petition has also been lodged at the Scottish Parliament asking MSPs to urge the government to make calls for NHS 24 free from mobile phones. A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "Consideration for the adoption of the 111 number, for access to non-emergency healthcare services in Scotland is currently under way, and we expect to make a positive announcement soon. "Should it be adopted, this number would replace the existing number for NHS 24 - the two key benefits for patients would be that the number is memorable and would be free to call from both a mobile phone and a landline." EU foreign ministers in Brussels agreed that democratic reform should pave the way for "fair and free elections". EU foreign affairs chief Baroness Ashton said talks with the opposition should take place immediately. "It's absolutely critical that the government engage in open, frank, direct dialogue," she told reporters. After a seventh day of demonstrations in Egypt, the EU's 27 member states agreed a statement similar to the stance taken by the US, stopping short of demanding Mr Mubarak's resignation or immediate presidential elections. Diplomats told the BBC News website that they were focused more on Egypt's long term future and that this was not the time to talk about personalities. Several ministers, including British Foreign Secretary William Hague and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, said it was important that Egypt did not fall into the hands of radicals or extremists. Jean Asselborn, Luxembourg Foreign Minister, said the EU could not "export revolution" and had to show that it was ready to help organise elections but "not to interfere". Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said he believed that only free and fair elections would bring stability to Egypt.

Tickets for the event, at the derelict Tropicana in Weston-super-Mare, have sold out for the slot originally due to be filled by DJ Dapper Dan. But the anonymous artist's website said a "supply DJ from Brighton" would now play in his place. Fatboy Slim - alter ego of Norman Cook - is best known for 1990s hits like The Rockerfeller Skank and Praise You. The Dismaland exhibition is a dark take on theme parks with a nod to Disneyland, featuring work by more than 50 artists including Bristolian Banksy. "I've been trawling through the Disney back catalogue, working out ways I can subvert it in the same manner that Dismaland tries to subvert it - but in a reverential way," Norman Cook told BBC 6 Music. "There will be a sort of twisted tribute to Disney in some form or another." The father-of-two added: "I'm very au fait with the Frozen soundtrack and it might feature in my set." Others featuring in Dismaland are Damien Hirst, Jenny Holzer, Jimmy Cauty, who says he chose the venue himself after walking past the old lido - which closed in 2000 - six months ago. Among the exhibits are a distorted mermaid, a dilapidated fairy castle and a boat pond where all the boats are filled with models of migrants, along with a beach ball hovering above upturned knives. Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim al-Thani said Syria faced sanctions if it did not co-operate. At a meeting of the Arab League in Morocco, he said diplomatic efforts were "close to the end of the road". As the meeting took place, angry crowds in Damascus attacked the embassies of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates. Morocco responded by recalling its ambassador to Syria, AFP news agency reported. Hours earlier - in another sign of Syria's increasing international isolation - France also said it was withdrawing its ambassador. Foreign Minister Alain Juppe told parliament: "There has been renewed violence in Syria, which has led me to close our consular offices in Aleppo and in Latakia as well as our cultural institutes and to recall our ambassador to Paris." By Jon LeyneBBC News, Rabat As diplomatic pressure increases on Damascus, the situation on the ground is deteriorating as well. Last night, soldiers who defected from the Syrian army mounted an attack on an intelligence base north of Damascus. It was the most significant attack so far by defectors and was remarkable for being against such a high-profile target so close to the capital. More and more clashes are being reported between the regular army and opponents who now call themselves the Free Syrian Army. That raises the spectre of this turning into a full-scale civil war. But Syria has shown little sign of compromise. At today's meeting here in Morocco, Arab ministers are expected to confirm Syria's suspension from the Arab League and possibly impose new measures. Syria's chair at the meeting is empty after Damascus angrily decided to boycott the meeting. Attitudes are hardening on all sides. Sheikh Hamad, asked if the Arab League proposal was a last-ditch attempt at diplomacy, told a news conference in Morocco: "We do not want to talk about a last-ditch attempt because I do not want this to sound like a warning. "What I can say is that we are close to the end of the road as far as the (Arab League's) efforts on this front are concerned." The statement came hours after reports that rebel Syrian troops had attacked a major military base near Damascus. Turkey, although not a member of the Arab League, sent its Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to a Turkish-Arab co-operation forum on the fringes of the league's meeting in Rabat. Turkey, which shares a long border with Syria, has been increasingly critical of President Bashar al-Assad's repression of anti-government protests. In a joint statement, they demanded "urgent measures... to ensure the protection of civilians" and declared they were against "all foreign intervention in Syria". Last weekend the Arab League voted to suspend Syria's membership after it failed to honour the terms of an Arab League peace plan. The plan involved Syria withdrawing tanks from restive cities, stopping attacks on protesters and engaging in dialogue with the opposition within two weeks. But since then violence across Syria has escalated. Syrian activists say defected soldiers known as the Free Syrian Army launched a pre-dawn attack on the notorious Air Force Intelligence building in the Damascus suburb of Harasta. Unconfirmed reports said six government soldiers were killed. Correspondents says such an attack would be the highest profile operation so far by renegade troops. The Commander of the Free Syrian Army, Ryad al-Asa'ad, who is based in Turkey, told the BBC Arabic Service the international community had let them down in their fight against the regime. "At the moment no country in the world has helped," he said. "All of them, every country has refused. Even Turkey has never offered us even one bullet and has even completely banned operations on the border, or on the road to the border. On the other hand, we are from inside Syria, we work inside Syria and the weapons are from Syria." He said defections were increasing within the Syrian army. Q&A: The Free Syrian Army Q&A: Syrian opposition alliance Q&A: Syria sanctions "Thank God, there is a big number [of defectors] the number increases daily. Now, over the past 10 days, defections have been increasing in a very very big way, even officers, a great number are defecting." Meanwhile, anti-government activists reported further bloodshed across Syria on Wednesday. The Local Co-ordination Committees (LCC) said 11 people had been killed in Homs, seven in Idlib and one each in Daraa and the suburbs of Damascus. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on its Facebook page that three defectors and a civilian were shot dead in Keferzita, Hama province. Some 376 people had been killed since the announcement of the Arab League initiative on 2 November, the LCC said. The UN says more than 3,500 people have died since protests started in March. Syrian authorities blame the violence on armed gangs and militants. The Syrian government has severely restricted access for foreign journalists, and reports are difficult to verify. Plymouth University faced turmoil in 2014 when a boardroom feud left it without a vice-chancellor or chairman. The Good Governance Institute has made 15 recommendations for change at the university in a scathing review. The university said it had been a "challenging time" and the review marked the "turning of a corner". Vice-chancellor Prof Wendy Purcell was suspended from her ??288,000-a-year post last July but later brought back into the university in a new role. The independent experts who carried out the review from November to February found the process by which Prof Purcell was investigated was "not fit for purpose". William Taylor, a retired judge, resigned from the post of chairman in September following claims of sexual harassment, which he has "categorically" denied. The review said a "golden triangle" of the chairman, vice-chancellor and university secretary/clerk to the board was "at the heart" of effective governance. It said: "If one side is fractured, good governance is endangered; if two sides are fractured, governance is in peril." The report said "trust and confidence issues" between the board of governors, the vice-chancellor and the executive were "mirrored by a breakdown in confidence" on the part of staff. In response to the report, Prof David Coslett, interim vice-chancellor, said: "The actions we are taking forward following our review of governance mark the turning of a corner for the university. "It has been a challenging time for staff and we are emerging even stronger, propelled by the university's academic excellence, the talent of our students and rigorous management processes." The report said its recommendations had "resonance" with the wider higher education sector. Media playback is not supported on this device The League One Pirates, who were shocked by non-league Chesham in last year's competition, went ahead through Rory Gaffney's close-range finish. But Harrison equalised six minutes later, slotting past keeper Kelle Roos. And the 29-year-old striker completed the turnaround after half-time, poking home his 13th goal in 10 matches. Rovers piled forward in the last 20 minutes, with Gaffney striking the post and then firing a further opportunity wide when well placed, but their non-league opponents held on. Barrow had not won away at an English Football League side in the FA Cup since 1966 - and had looked to be heading for a difficult afternoon when Gaffney put Rovers in front inside the opening 10 minutes. However, the cutting edge provided by Harrison, whose recent prolific run in front of goal has seen Barrow go unbeaten since 20 August, proved the difference and ensured their place in the third-round draw. Bristol Rovers manager Darrell Clarke has led the club to two successive promotions from the National League to League One, but their defeat by Barrow was their fifth in seven games. "We lost it because we weren't good enough with the ball and we can't defend," Clarke told BBC Radio Bristol. "I'm sick of saying it, to be honest. "The character of the players will now be in question after this result, and rightly so. I thought one or two hid from trying to get on the ball, which is very disappointing - I don't want to see that." Barrow now go in to the hat for Monday's third-round draw, which will be shown live on BBC Two from 19:00 GMT, and boss Paul Cox says he hopes to secure a tie that "creates memories". "In my personal opinion these boys deserve a shot, even if it's just a one off, against one of the major players," he told BBC Radio Cumbria. "I'm hoping the boys are enjoying the journey, because there's loads more to come." Match ends, Bristol Rovers 1, Barrow 2. Second Half ends, Bristol Rovers 1, Barrow 2.

The free exhibition is open to the public at the W London hotel, Leicester Square, and runs until 18 October. BBC London's Emilia Papadopoulos met broadcaster Robert Elms, general manager of the W London hotel Coen Van Niersen, and celebrity photographer Dave Hogan. The graves that were found in the province of Anbar may contain between 80 and 220 bodies, reports suggest. Many of the dead belong to the Al Bu Nimr tribe, which joined Iraq's Shia-dominated government in fighting IS. It has also emerged that Islamic State may have killed 600 prisoners at a jail in Mosul they seized in June. The inmates were forced to kneel along the edge of a ravine before being shot, the campaign group Human Rights Watch said. A graphic video allegedly showing some of the victims of the IS attack in the Anbar town of Hit has emerged online. Analysis: Orla Guerin, BBC News, Baghdad Details about the latest mass executions attributed to the self-declared Islamic state are still sketchy, particularly the number of victims. The bodies - all male - were discovered in two separate locations in Iraq's contested Anbar province. Footage alleged to be the aftermath of the killings shows a line of blood-soaked bodies dumped in a street. Several are blindfolded, and some have their hands bound. The video - which cannot be independently verified - shows cars and pedestrians passing by the bodies. Analysts say mass killings are a very deliberate strategy by Islamic State to spread terror in their opponents. This latest atrocity is a stark warning to Sunni tribesmen as the Iraqi government and the White House tries to get more of them involved in battling IS. One local official, Sabah Karhout, described the killings in Anbar province as a crime against humanity and called for more international support for Sunni tribes fighting the militants in Anbar. US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said the killing of Sunni tribesmen in Iraq by Islamic State fighters was the brutal "reality of what we're dealing with" in the conflict. The US military chief, Gen Martin Dempsey, said American advisers should be sent to Anbar province, but that first Baghdad must arm local Sunni tribes. "We need to expand the 'train, advise and assist' mission into Anbar province but the precondition for that is that the government of Iraq is willing to arm the tribes," he told reporters on Thursday. IS militants have killed hundreds of people in the large areas of Iraq and neighbouring Syria they control. Plans to create a hub airport in the Thames Estuary were rejected by the Airports Commission (AC) in 2014. In a report entitled Landing The Right Airport, the mayor says a four-runway airport east of London is the only way to secure enough capacity. Opponents previously described "Boris Island" as "financially, geographically and environmentally wrong". "If we are to secure the connectivity we need to support our future growth and prosperity and do so without dire impacts on public health - then we must do better than Heathrow," Mr Johnson said. Building an airport at one of two locations in the Thames Estuary or expanding Stansted in Essex "away from populated areas" was the "only credible solution", according to the Mayor of London. In his forward to the 78-page document, he added: "Each could accommodate the four-runway hub that London and the UK needs. "Our analysis predicts that they would offer around double the number of long haul and domestic destinations served by Heathrow today, while exposing 95% fewer people to significant aircraft noise. "A four-runway hub to the east of London, rather than jarring with the growth of London will support it, catalysing regeneration and housing to the east." In July, the AC recommended building a new runway at Heathrow rather than providing a second runway at Gatwick. But it did not completely rule out another runway at Gatwick or doubling an existing runway at Heathrow. The government has delayed its decision on airport expansion in the South East until the summer at the earliest, saying more work needed to be done on the potential environmental impact. In September 2014, Sir Howard Davies, chairman of the commission, said the cost, economic disruption and environmental issues made the Thames Estuary airport plan unviable. Daniel Moylan, aviation adviser to Mr Johnson, said a hub airport to the east of London would cost £20bn to £25bn - with an extra £25bn required to building road and rail connections. Constructing a third runway at Heathrow is estimated to cost £18.6bn, but Mr Moylan said that did not take into account the amount of money needed on surface access and measures to stop congestion, which the new report claims could be as high as £20bn. Media playback is not supported on this device Antonio Conte named 24 players in the squad for the Community Shield defeat by Arsenal and four of the seven substitutes were academy players. The Premier League champions have signed four players but Conte has said he would like to strengthen further. Asked if the Chelsea squad was small, club captain Cahill replied: "The back of the programme was interesting." The England defender was referring to the squad lists on the back of the match programme - which showed 24 Chelsea players compared to 41 from Arsenal. Cahill added: "In terms of quality we've certainly got that and you just have to hope we don't have too many injuries." Chelsea have bought Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Willy Caballero and Antonio Rudiger this summer for a combined £129m. But they have sold Nemanja Matic, Nathan Ake, Asmir Begovic, Bertrand Traore, Christian Atsu, Nathaniel Chalobah and loaned out Tammy Abraham, Nathaniel Chalobah, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Striker Diego Costa, who scored 20 goals last season, has been told he does not have a future at the club. Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has said their squad looks "bare", adding: "They need more and I don't think Conte is happy." Conte issued terse responses to questions after the penalty shootout defeat on Sunday and declined to answer when asked if his squad was ready to challenge in all four competitions this season. Margaret Stewart, 47, embezzled the money from the Canadian firm Ivanhoe Cambridge, which owned Glasgow's St Enoch Centre, over a three-year period. She used her position as treasurer at the boys club to pay cheques into its account before taking the cash herself. Sentence on Stewart was deferred and her bail was continued. Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that Stewart, from Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, worked in the accounts department of Ivanhoe Cambridge UK, which sold the St Enoch Centre in 2013. Between May 2008 and January 2011 she had managers at the firm sign cheques that were supposed to be used to make legitimate payments. Stewart would then write over the payee name and insert the football team's name. The money would then go to the club before Stewart took it for herself. She was caught after a bank spotted a problem with one of the cheques from Ivanhoe Cambridge and phoned her office. Stewart then immediately confessed to her superiors and a payment plan was put in place for her to repay the money. The court heard that although more than £5,000 was repaid, the plan was not completed and her house was put on the market. The house was rendered worthless due to Japanese Knotweed, and Stewart was later reported to police. Stewart pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzling the money. The Rangers Supporters' Association Boys Club was founded in 1960 for boys between five and 17-years-old. Former players include Barry Ferguson, Lee McCulloch, Graham Dorrans and Charlie Miller. First Minister Carwyn Jones said he supported the idea of a Wales one-day cricket team provided there was no "financial hit" on Glamorgan. But Morris believes the prospect would be hugely detrimental. "It would have a fundamental and catastrophic impact on the finances of cricket in Wales," said Morris. Jones had said it was "odd" Ireland and Scotland had teams while Wales did not. His response came to a question in the Senedd from Conservative AM, Mohammad Asghar, who supports the idea of a Wales cricket team. In 2013, an assembly committee called for "an intelligent discussion on the feasibility" of establishing such a team. But Morris opposes the establishment of a Wales team, saying Glamorgan would consequently lose its status as a member of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). Additionally, Wales would no longer be part of the ECB and would rather be classed as an associate member of the International Cricket Council. As a result, England internationals would no longer be played in Cardiff, which would have serious financial repercussions for the club and cricket in Wales according to Morris. "I can understand the philosophical argument being a proud Welshman myself," said Morris. "The thing the First Minister said in the Assembly was that he was in favour of it as long as it did not impact on the finances of Glamorgan cricket and cricket in Wales. "Fundamentally it would. The reality and impact is we [Glamorgan] would host no international matches in Cardiff, we wouldn't be playing in domestic first-class cricket in ECB competitions. "We wouldn't have any fee payments from the England and Wales Cricket Board. "Our income at the moment for cricket in Wales, between us and Cricket Wales, is £8m per annum. "If we were to join the ICC as an associate member we would get five per cent of that income from grassroots to professional level." From 2002 to 2004, a Wales team played against England in a one-day challenge match each June, scoring a shock eight-wicket victory in 2002. Morris says Wales would need to start at the bottom tier should they leave the ECB and become an associate member of the ICC, joining 93 other nations, such as Scotland and Jersey. Ireland and Afghanistan were granted full membership in June, joining the 10 other nations with full test status. "It has been one or the other so far," Morris told the Jason Mohammad show on BBC Radio Wales. "Either we are a member of the England and Wales Cricket Board or an ICC associate member like Scotland. "Ireland has just done really well in getting Test status of the ICC, but it has taken them 30 years to get to that position. "If we were to join the ICC now we would be starting in the bottom league against the likes of Guernsey, Jersey and Germany. "We wouldn't be having some of the world's best players coming to Wales." He told the Senedd there was "merit" in Plaid leader Leanne Wood's call for free movement to work. Mr Jones had accused Mr Corbyn of a "very London-centric" view which failed to acknowledge unease about immigration outside the "cosmopolitan" capital. Ms Wood accused Mr Jones of pandering to UKIP, saying emigration was worse. At the Labour conference in September, Mr Corbyn said Labour should focus on helping individual communities manage the pressure on public services from immigration rather than cut the numbers. But last week the first minister told the Guardian newspaper that other parts of the UK saw immigration in a different light, adding that the issue which "loomed large" in the vote for Brexit. Ms Wood tackled Mr Jones on his differences with the Labour Party leader during First Minister's Questions on Tuesday. Mr Jones said immigration concerns had to be addressed without letting loose the "jackals of racism". "I am closer to her position as leader of Plaid Cymru than any other," he said. "She and I said something very similar last week, namely that there should be free movement for work, and free movement to look for work within a certain amount of time. "I think there is merit in that." Ms Wood tried to distance herself from the first minister, claiming his criticism of Mr Corbyn implied the people of Wales were opposed to immigration. "You should be dealing with reality and not perception. You should not be dealing with the myths," she replied. "We have a problem of emigration. Too many younger and skilled workers are leaving this country and also there is an imbalance within Wales with jobs and prosperity not spread evenly throughout this country. "First minister, instead of pandering to UKIP, when are we going to have a real debate about the real solutions about the real migration problem here in Wales?" Media playback is not supported on this device Rumours of tension between the pair surfaced after Giggs appeared reluctant to fully celebrate Ashley Young's winning goal at Newcastle on Wednesday. Former team-mate Paul Scholes suggested Giggs "may not have the patience" to remain as number two for the next three years. But Giggs said the pair have a "great working relationship". The former Wales captain said: "I'm working as hard as I can and enjoying every minute of it. "It's coming to that part of the season where the media will look at any little thing just to make it more exciting and more interesting." Van Gaal said he was "irritated" by suggestions of a rift between himself and Giggs, claiming they have a good relationship. Media playback is not supported on this device Giggs, who took over at Old Trafford for the final four games of last season following David Moyes' dismissal, was named assistant following van Gaal's appointment in May 2014. Scholes had speculated that he could not see Welshman Giggs being Van Gaal's assistant until the end of his contract in 2017. He said: "There's no doubt, he had that little taste of it [management] for the last three weeks of last year and he definitely wants to be a manager, you can see that. "Over the next two or three years, will he have the patience to be a number two for that long? I'm not sure he will." The 41-year-old Giggs, in Cardiff to promote the 2015 Welsh Community Football Awards, said he was learning from working under the former Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Netherlands boss. "I've really enjoyed working under him and learning something new every day. I'm learning under a great manager," Giggs added. "He's won everything and to work under someone like Louis is a great experience for me. "He's been brilliant with me and given me a lot of responsibility. "Each day I learn something different and I love working with the players. "I've been given a great opportunity to be assistant of a club that I've spent my whole career at." Firefighters were called to Monteith Drive at about 04:20 after residents reported hearing a loud bang. Pictures of the scene showed the cars engulfed in flames and a cloud of smoke. No-one was injured. A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said inquiries into the incident were continuing. The fire service said the blaze was extinguished by 05:30. Sylvie Beghal was held at East Midlands Airport under anti-terrorism laws. The High Court ruled that schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 did not breach human rights. It comes weeks after the partner of a Guardian journalist was stopped under the same power, prompting a legal battle with the government. In his judgement on Wednesday, Lord Justice Gross said the stops were "neither arbitrary nor disproportionate". Lawyers for Mrs Beghal are expected to appeal and try to take the case to the Supreme Court. Mrs Beghal, a French citizen who lives in the UK, was stopped in January 2011 after arriving at East Midlands Airport on a flight from Paris. Police officers told her she was being held under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act, a power that allows them to hold someone for up to nine hours and question them about whether they are involved in terrorism. Mrs Beghal's husband is an Algerian man who was convicted and jailed in France on terrorism charges. Djemal Beghal claims he was tortured and that his conviction is unfair. Following the stop, Mrs Beghal refused to answer police questions without the presence of a solicitor. She was allowed to speak to a lawyer on the phone before police asked her about her movements. When she refused to answer the questions, she was charged and later convicted of failing to comply with the order. In her challenge, lawyers argued that the powers under schedule 7 were so widely drawn that they meant that anyone could be stopped without reasonable suspicion. They said that those questioned at airports under the legislation were denied the right not to answer questions, unlike criminal suspects who were arrested and interviewed in a police station. Mrs Beghal also said that her detention at the airport breached her right to privacy and family life and restricted her freedom of movement between two EU countries. But dismissing the challenge, Lord Justice Gross said: "The schedule 7 powers of examination survive the challenges advanced before us. "In short, the balance struck between individual rights and the public interest in protection against terrorism does not violate the fundamental human rights in question." This latest challenge to the powers is wider than that launched by David Miranda, the partner of a Guardian journalist who was stopped at Heathrow Airport earlier this month. Mr Miranda alleges that the stop was unlawful because police wanted to seize his computer equipment rather than establish whether he was involved in terrorism. In the Beghal judgement, the court stressed that schedule 7 should only be used for its specific purpose. Most Palestinian commentators welcome the deal, though some urge caution in the light of the failure of previous attempts at reconciliation. Writing in the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority's newspaper, Al-Hayat al-Jadidah, Yahya Khalaf says that the deal invalidates an argument regularly used by Israel, which can "no longer talk of the absence of a partner representing the entire Palestinian people". In the rival Palestinian camp, an adviser to the Hamas-led government in Gaza points out that the agreement still has to be tested on the ground. Writing on the Hamas website Filastin Online, Youssef Rizqa says that the deal will strengthen Palestinian dealings with Israel only if it is "a genuine partnership that will take our people out of a dark tunnel". Two commentators in the pro-Fatah paper Al-Ayyam are also cautious. Talal Awkal says further progress will require "very strong determination on the part of the Palestinians", while Abdul Majid Suwaylim predicts that many difficulties still lie ahead, as there are "no easy solutions to complicated problems". Some Palestinian papers also refer to the reactions of the US and Israeli governments. The Jerusalem-based paper, Al-Quds, notes Washington's expression of "disappointment" that the deal could seriously complicate peace talks, while Al-Hayat al-Jadidah says that Israel's immediate reaction to the announcement was to bomb Gaza. The announcement is covered prominently in the Israeli press, with several papers highlighting the Israeli government's profound unease at a deal that could signal the end of disunity in the Palestinian camp. Alex Fishman, writing in the centrist paper Yedioth Aharonot, speaks of the Israeli leadership "exploding with anger". He goes on to say that Benjamin Netanyahu's government will find it impossible to accept Hamas as a negotiating partner, and that it will insist that the US takes a firm line to ensure that the Islamist movement is not granted international respectability. "Now the ball is in the United States' court - if there is no blunt American reaction, this will be the start of a diplomatic landslide that will lead to the recognition of Hamas by Western countries," Mr Fishman warns. Commentators in the liberal paper Haaretz take a rather more positive view of the Fatah-Hamas deal, pointing out that the new alignment could help to kick-start the Middle East peace talks after years of stalemate. Zvi Barel says that the agreement "passes a sharp message to Israel and US that the division of Palestine is over" and that they must deal with Hamas. And Barak Ravid says that Israeli should "rejoice" at any deal that has the potential to bring all the Palestinian factions on board. He argues that any Israeli government that is sincere about wanting to achieve a two-state solution should "see the reconciliation agreement as an opportunity, not a threat". A commentator in the pro-Netanyahu paper Yisrael Harom, on the other hand, sees the deal as an act of desperation on the part of the leaders of Fatah and Hamas. Eyal Zisser says that it is hard to see how the long-standing differences between Fatah and Hamas can be reconciled, and that "one must not assume that the unity government - if it is formed at all - will survive". An Israeli Arab commentator, Khaled Abu Toameh, is also of the opinion that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas decided to go for a reconciliation deal only after all other attempts to move the peace talks forward failed. "Realising that his moves have had almost no impact on decision-makers in Israel and the US, Abbas finally resorted to the issue of reconciliation and unity with Hamas... Abbas has only one thing in mind: how to extract concessions from Israel and the US," Mr Toameh writes in the English-language Jerusalem Post.

Kalavati Mistry, from Leicester, married Jewish-born Miriam Jefferson, from Texas, in a Hindu ceremony at the weekend. Ms Mistry said many priests told her they were not allowed to marry them. Female priest Chanda Vyas eventually stepped in to carry out the ceremony in Leicester. Live updates form the East Midlands Ms Mistry told Pukaar News: "I tried many many priests in Leicester and [they] were warm and welcoming and said they'd like to do this but that their federation won't allow it." She said she had always known she was gay, but was worried about telling friends and family, deciding to keep her sexuality a secret. However, having come out she said: "They've been very warm welcoming and embracing to Miriam which has been very important." She added that it was important to her to have a traditional Hindu ceremony. They also had a Jewish wedding earlier this year in San Antonio, Texas. Ms Jefferson said: "I got to spend an entire day with somebody I adore and love and want to spend my life with, surrounded by people who I have been close to my entire life and people who have recently embraced me as one of their own, so it's a pretty wonderful way to celebrate." The brides both wore traditional red and white bridal colours, fresh floral garlands and a "mangala sutra" to show they were now married women. A copy of the document from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) - part of GCHQ - was obtained by technology website Motherboard. A follow-up by the BBC indicated that the document was legitimate. There have been reports about similar cyber-attacks around the world lately. Modern, computer-based industrial control systems manage equipment in facilities such as power stations. And attacks attempting to compromise such systems had become more common recently, one security researcher said. The NCSC report specifically discusses the threat to the energy and manufacturing sectors. It also cites connections from multiple UK internet addresses to systems associated with "advanced state-sponsored hostile threat actors" as evidence of hackers targeting energy and manufacturing organisations. According to Motherboard, one line in the document reads: "NCSC believes that due to the use of widespread targeting by the attacker, a number of industrial control system engineering and services organisations are likely to have been compromised." A spokesman for the NCSC did not confirm nor deny the contents of the document cited by Motherboard. "We are aware of reports of malicious cyber-activity targeting the energy sector around the globe," he said in a statement. "We are liaising with our counterparts to better understand the threat and continue to manage any risks to the UK." The case had the hallmarks of an attack orchestrated by a nation state, said security expert Mikko Hypponen at F-Secure. "I can easily see an intelligence agency being tasked with the mission of creating a foothold in energy distribution systems in case it is needed during a crisis or conflict," he said. There had been a spate of such cases recently, said Ruben Santamarta, principal security consultant at cyber-security company IOActive. "It's not a very targeted attack, it's affected a lot of countries, a lot of different companies," he told the BBC. "It doesn't mean that someone is going to use these capabilities to turn off the lights in our cities in the near future, but it's interesting that they are trying to get those capabilities." Hackers have also affected Ireland's Electricity Supply Board (ESB), according to a report in the Times on 15 July citing anonymous sources. The newspaper noted that industrial control systems at ESB were implicated, which could mean parts of the electricity grid in Northern Ireland were made vulnerable. And in the US earlier this month, it was reported that hackers had gained access to a company in charge of a nuclear power plant in Kansas. Zhou's son Zhou Bin was imprisoned for 18 years while his his wife Jia Xiaoyue will serve nine years. Zhou Yongkang was once one of the most powerful officials in China, running the internal security forces. He was jailed for life after his corruption conviction last year, partly as a result of his family's testimony. Zhou is the most senior official to fall as part of President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign, which was launched in 2012. A court in the central city of Yichang found Zhou Bin guilty of taking 222 million yuan ($34m; £24m) in bribes and running an illegal business trading in restricted commodities, the CCTV state broadcaster reported. The court confiscated what it said were his illicit gains and fined him a total of 350 million yuan ($53m; £37m), CCTV said. The same court also imprisoned Zhou Yongkang's wife Jia Xiaoye - a former TV journalist - for taking bribes. She was fined 1m yuan ($150,000; £105,000) Zhou Bin initially escaped arrest by going to the US in early 2013, sources told the Reuters news agency. But he returned to China after negotiations with Chinese authorities. It is not clear whether he had legal representation. Zhou Bin used his father's influence "in collaboration with others" to accept valuable property, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported. Zhou Yongkang was a member of China's elite Politburo Standing Committee and was responsible for the police, the judiciary and domestic surveillance. But he became one of the most senior leaders to be imprisoned by the Communist Party took since the early 1980s, when the Gang of Four were put on trial for instigating the chaos of the Cultural Revolution. Scores of Zhou's associates have also been arrested, mostly in the southern province of Sichuan where he was head of the Communist Party from 1999 to 2002. President Xi has warned that corruption is widespread and jeopardises the Chinese Communist Party's future survival. The president's campaign against graft has embroiled senior party officials, the government, the military and state-owned companies. Goals from Stefanie Van Der Gragt, Vivianne Miedema and Melanie Leupolz gave Bayern a 3-0 half-time lead. Miedema and Leupolz both scored again before Bayern were awarded two penalties; Melanie Behringer scoring while Nicole Rosler missed. The sides meet again in Germany next Wednesday. Hibs, in the last 32 of the competition for the first time, knew they would be under heavy pressure right from kick-off. They defended in numbers but Van der Gragt was able to break early resistance when she headed in from a corner kick. Van der Gragt headed off the bar a second time, before Miedema twice failed to hit the target from close range. It was two though when Sara Dabritz played a neat ball through to Miedema who finished high into the net. Leupolz headed in at the near post to make it three as the one-way traffic continued. Cheered on by a crowd of 2,551, Hibs tried to venture forward and Lizzie Arnot tested Bayern goalkeeper Tinja-Riikja Korpela from long range. It was Scotland international Lisa Evans who orchestrated Bayern's fourth goal, picking out Miedema for her second goal of the game. Hibs just could not cope with the height of the Germans and really struggled to deal with crosses, and as the home defence failed to clear their lines Leupolz was able stab home her second and Bayern's fifth. It was soon six when Behringer scored from the penalty spot, sending Jenna Fife the wrong way, and it could have been seven when Rolser won another penalty, but she took it herself and cracked it off the crossbar. It was no embarrassment for Hibs though who came up short against a full-time team packed with internationals, who were quicker and stronger all over the park. Hibernian captain Joelle Murray talking to BBC Alba: "The girls deserve to be on the Champions League stage, so it's about gaining the experience. We knew Bayern would be a top team and they showed that. "We just couldn't live with them down the wings. Four of the the six goals came from crosses or corners." Hibernian: Fife, Willamson, Hunter, Robertson, Arnot, Smith, McLauchlin, Graham, Murray, Cornet, Harrison. Subs: Jeffries, Michie, Heron, Ewens, Notley, Small, Brownlie. Bayern Munich: Korpela, Lewandowski, Van Der Gragt, Behringer, Leupolz, Miedema, Holstad, Evans, Faisst, Schnaderbeck, Dabritz. Subs: Zinsberger, Abbe, Falknor, Wenniger, Maier, Gerhardt, Rolser. They were on the Strangford Ferry, which sails between Portaferry and Strangford, but something was different about it. For one weekend only, it was transformed from its normal ferry service into the carol ship of lights. Instead of the usual quiet crossing, passengers were treated to 15 minutes of bright lights and carol singers to get them into the festive spirit. It's the third year that the event has taken place, and its organiser, Alison Murphy from the Portaferry and Strangford Trust, explained where the idea had come from. "I lived in Vancouver for a while, and I remembered that they do the carol ship parade of lights, which started 50 years ago with one boat - and it's now 50 boats - the whole big festival lasts for weeks," she said. "I thought, we've got a boat at the bottom of the street - so we thought, could we use the ferry; could we put different choirs on it? "It's just going from strength to strength because it actually brings two communities together - Strangford and Portaferry - which are 59 miles apart by road, but only half a mile by sea." Each ferry crossing took about 30 minutes in total, and with each journey came a different choir, with jazz groups, the Ards Peninsula choir and a number of schools from the area all getting involved. Teachers Shauneen Reid and Joanne McCauley, of St Mary's Kircubbin Primary School, said their children really enjoyed being part of the singing ship. "It's good experience for them to get out into the community and see what they do," said Ms McCauley. "They really love performing." Ms Reid added: "It's just something totally different. We're lucky that we have a ferry, there aren't too many schools can say that." Eleanor Brown, a founding member of the Portaferry and Strangford Trust, said she hoped the carol ship of lights would shine a spotlight on an area of Northern Ireland that sometimes gets overlooked. "Portaferry and Strangford have had a few bad years with the recession, we really need people to come and see what's going on here," she said. "This event helps to re-energise local communities that are out in the sticks, quite a distance from Belfast. "It's the first time my mum has come down from Carrick, it's just a really feel-good event." As the ferry's journey across Strangford Lough was nearing an end, there was time for just one more song, but the organisers hope this new tradition in Strangford will end up lasting as long as that of its Canadian predecessor. Scientists say chemical changes caused by dry roasting processes may prime the body's immune system - sparking future allergic reactions. But much more work is needed before humans should consider swapping roasted nuts for raw ones, they say. The research appears in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. Mice were exposed to peanut proteins through the skin or the stomach. Animals given the dry roasted samples had a much stronger immune response - the body's way of fighting things that appear foreign to it - than mice given the raw versions. In humans, immune responses vary. Some can be mild, causing rashes for example, but others can be extremely dangerous, leading to swelling of the mouth and breathing difficulties. Scientists say it is likely to be the high temperatures used to roast nuts that are responsible for the chemical changes that, in turn, prompt the allergic reactions. Prof Quentin Sattentau, who led the research, said: "This is the first time, to our knowledge, that a potential trigger for peanut allergy has been directly shown." And researchers believe the findings may explain the lower allergy rates in East Asian populations where boiled, raw or fried nuts are a more common part of the diet than roasted ones. But they warn that much more work is needed before doctors make any specific dietary recommendations. Prof Sattentau said: "We know that children in families with other allergies are more likely to develop peanut allergy. "However our research is at an early stage and we think that it would be premature to avoid roasted peanuts and their products until further work has been carried out to confirm this result." Scientists are now exploring methods to get rid of the particular chemical changes that may be responsible for kick-starting the immune system. According to NHS Choices, nut allergies, including peanuts, are relatively common in both school-aged children and adults. And peanuts are one of the most common causes of fatal allergic reactions to food. People with peanut allergies are advised to avoid them and many carry auto-injector pens to reduce the severity of any reactions that do occur. Some 22 survivors have so far been pulled from the rubble, and 40 others are feared trapped in the debris. More than 70 workers were in the 11-storey building which was under construction when it toppled in heavy rain late on Saturday. India has seen frequent building collapses, many blamed on lax safety and substandard materials. At least six people, including construction company officials, have been arrested in connection with the collapse in Chennai (Madras), the capital of the southern state of Tamil Nadu. "It appears they have not adhered to approved plans. The building appears to have serious structural defects," Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa said. Hundreds of rescue workers, including personnel from India's National Disaster Response Force, are working with cutters, shovels and other equipment to search for survivors. "Clearing the debris is a huge challenge. This would take almost two to three days and we are hopeful of saving many lives, going by our previous experiences in other places," senior police official SP Selvan told the NDTV news channel. While the cause of the latest collapse is still under investigation, a lack of construction codes, leading to lax safety, is one reason for frequent collapses of buildings and other infrastructure projects in India. There is also a high demand for housing, pushing up costs and forcing less affluent people to risk their lives in decrepit or badly constructed buildings. Earlier on Saturday, a four-storey building came down in the capital Delhi, killing 10 people, including five children. In January, at least 14 people died when a building under construction came crashing down in the western state of Goa. At least 42 people died after a four-storey building collapsed in Mumbai last September. The Femfresh advert featured women, wearing briefs and swimwear, dancing. Shown on ITV and Channel 4 on-demand services earlier this year, it included close-up shots of the women's crotches. The ASA received 17 complaints that the advert objectified women and portrayed them in an overly sexualised way. Church & Dwight UK - the brand which owns Femfresh - did not believe the advert for the so-called "intimate shaving collection" was offensive or socially irresponsible. It said it was aimed at a target audience of 18 to 34-year-old women and that close-ups were used to illustrate that the product could give consumers a smooth bikini line. Neither Channel 4 or ITV received any complaints about the advert directly and both agreed with comments made by Church & Dwight that it did not objectify women. But the ASA noted that the dance sequence was "highly sexualised", there were "few shots" of the women's faces and the high-cut swimsuits "were more exposing" than most. "Even taking into account the nature of the product, we considered that it had been presented in an overly-sexualised way that objectified women," the ASA said. "We concluded that the ad was likely to cause serious or widespread offence and therefore breached the code." It ruled that the advert must not appear again in its current form. In one, a man casually walks around barriers at Dalcross near Inverness just before a train comes through. A cyclist is knocked off his bike by a barrier at Spondon in Derbyshire, and a motorist gets stuck on the tracks at Narborough in Leicestershire. British Transport Police described the three clips as "astonishing". Insp Becky Warren said: "All too often people get into the habit of taking risks at crossings and our message is simple: Use crossings safely. "It may be tempting to jump a light to shave a minute or two off your journey but every time you do, you endanger your life and the lives of other road and rail users. "Fail to obey the signals and you may also end up with a driving ban or a criminal record. Is it really worth the risk?" None of the people were hurt but the woman involved in the incident in Leicestershire was fined £135 and given six penalty points on her licence. Network Rail said it wanted to remove the risk to people which level crossings created. Head of level crossings Darren Furness said: "Where possible we close them, and we have already closed more than 900 in the past five years." Last year, Network Rail offered a "full and unreserved apology" to families bereaved by level crossing accidents. Chief executive Mark Carne apologised for "failings" in managing public safety and for "failing to deal sensitively" with affected families. It came as a Commons transport committee report strongly criticised Network Rail's handling of tragedies in the past. It was particularly critical about the deaths of Olivia Bazlinton, 14, and Charlotte Thompson, 13, at Elsenham crossing in Essex in 2005. Network Rail was later fined £1m for health and safety breaches in relation to the accident. The sharp rise confirms a longer term trend with the number of jobless rising 4.3% over the last year. President Francois Hollande has promised to kick start growth and create jobs. But the economy has floundered, prompting a revolt against austerity by three left-wing ministers. Mr Hollande replaced them and named a new cabinet. Prime Minister Manuel Valls had already warned that the latest figures for jobseekers would not look good. However, he reached out to French business on Wednesday with a promise to speed up reform. "France needs you," he told the country's main employers' union, Medef. "I love companies!" The latest French figures are striking even in the recent, bleak economic landscape: the number of unemployed in France rose to almost 3.5 million people last month - that's a rise of 0.8%. President Hollande is struggling to deliver the new jobs he promised voters here and his popularity is plummeting as a result. Less than 20% now trust him to turn things around. After a high-profile reshuffle of the cabinet earlier this week, the new economy minister arrived for work today arm-in-arm with the finance minister: a public gesture to voters that months of in-fighting over policy is now in the past. President Hollande has pinned his chances for growth - and re-election - on a mixture of austerity cuts and tax breaks. He's now got the cabinet behind him, but there are no signs yet that the policy is working. For a man seen more as a mediator than a maverick, these are high stakes indeed. Mr Valls tendered his government's resignation on Monday after Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg criticised a German "obsession" with austerity measures that he said were strangling growth. Asked by President Hollande immediately to form a new government, Mr Valls replaced Mr Montebourg with Emmanuel Macron, a former banker and economic adviser to the president. President Francois Hollande has pledged to create jobs and boost the economy by cutting 40bn euros (£32bn) from companies' tax bills. But so far unemployment remains above 10% and growth has stalled. The government's strategy for boosting the economy, the "Responsibility Pact", entails cuts to social charges paid by companies which would be funded by 50bn euros of cuts in public spending. Romain Perez, from the Terra Nova think tank in Paris said the increase in the number of people seeking work was not surprising. "Some people expect with a new minister of economy, Emmanuel Macron, who is younger and eager to reform, there may be positive signals sent. But we will see what happens." The base at Speirs Wharf will feature one of the largest rehearsal rooms in Scotland, space for technical and costume production and community drama. Work to revamp the former cash and carry building will begin in July. Since the theatre company was set up in 2006 it has created hundreds of productions, including the award-winning Black Watch. Laurie Sansom, artistic director at NTS, said: "For the first time ever we have the opportunity to create a space that brings together our company, our colleagues and all our communities. "A place of imagination, learning and play. A space from which we can begin to fulfil our ambitions, not just for the National Theatre of Scotland but for the wider theatre community and the entire nation." The overhaul of the disused building in Glasgow's Craighall Road, in the north of the city, is expected to be completed by spring 2016. It will provide the NTS with about 3,700 sq m (40,000 sq ft) of space over two levels. Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "The new Speirs Wharf centre for creativity, production and talent development will be a hub of innovation within the Scottish theatre industry. "It will become a dedicated and inspiring space where work will be devised and developed, sets and costumes designed and creative expression explored. "Not only will the facility assist with new productions and work, by redeveloping a disused building the facility will help to regenerate the canal area at Speirs Wharf." The estimated cost of the redeveloped building is £5,875,000, So far, NTS has secured £3,454,481 towards the cost- a £2m grant from the Scottish government and £469,481 from its vacant and derelict land fund, £500,000 from Glasgow City Council, £400,000 from The Robertson Trust, £75,000 from The Wolfson Foundation and £10,000 from The Binks Trust. The new look of the canal-side building has been designed by Gareth Hoskins Architects. The 43-year-old ex-Scotland and Canaries midfielder returned to Carrow Road in 2014 after leaving his role as Falkirk boss to coach under Neil Adams. He continued the role when Alex Neil took charge in January 2015, and has seen them promoted to and relegated from the top flight in 12 months. Holt now intends to seek a head coach or managerial role. "I've had some great and memorable times at Norwich City both as a player and as a member of the coaching staff," he told the club website. "Now the time is right for me to seek a fresh challenge as a head coach or manager and I want to thank everyone at the club and the fans for their support for me over the years." I was at the election results centre in the capital, Abuja, and at around 17:00 (16:00GMT) the votes from all but three states had been declared. Muhammadu Buhari, the candidate for the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), had a big lead over incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. During a break in the results, it became obvious to me that the lead was unassailable and I began wondering about what was going on in the APC camp. Were they celebrating or still anxiously waiting? Going by previous Nigerian elections, when rigging and results fiddling has allegedly taken place, nothing could be taken for granted. It turns out that so many calls were coming through that there was no time to answer them all - and Gen Buhari did not even know where his phone was. I thought that there would still be some more bumps on the road, given the passion in the campaign and the fact that a governing People's Democratic Party official had already tried to halt the count. I have a lot of contacts within Gen Buhari's circle and I know him personally so I decided to try and call someone who I knew would be with him to find out the mood. After he missed my call, and I missed his response, I eventually got through. I asked him what was going on, given that there was no way President Jonathan could win and I was surprised by the response. He told me that Gen Buhari had just received a phone call from his rival, in which the president conceded and congratulated him. I did not doubt that this was true as I trusted my source, but given what has happened before in Nigeria, this kind of concession was up to that point unimaginable. I was pretty sure that I was the first journalist to get the story so as soon as I got off the phone I alerted the BBC's election desk and tweeted the details. There were, of course, people who were very concerned about what could happen if the result was contested. And I have since discovered that members of the National Peace Committee, which is headed by former President Abdulsalami Abubakar, visited President Jonathan as the results were being announced. I understand they were the ones who persuaded the president to do something to avoid any trouble, and shortly after the visit he made the call. But even making the call was not straight forward. I heard later that the president could not actually get through to Gen Buhari. He rang all the numbers he had for people in his camp, but no-one answered. It turns out that so many calls were coming through that there was no time to answer them all - and Gen Buhari did not even know where his phone was. President Jonathan resorted to sending a messenger round to his rival's house to tell him that the president wanted to speak to him. And that he should pick up the phone the next time he tried to call. By making that call the president saved Nigeria a great deal of pain. If the PDP had insisted that they had won the election, and the APC had said the same, the country would have been in chaos. Lives would have been lost and property would have been destroyed. That call showed that in Nigeria, people can put the country first. I have heard from PDP supporters that the president took the decision to make the call without consulting anyone. They told me that if he had talked to some of his advisers, they would have objected. That was the question left hanging in the air after an independent broadband provider from Norfolk gave evidence to MPs at Westminster this week. The chief executive of WiSpire, a broadband provider set up by the Diocese of Norwich and publishing company Archant, told MPs many rural communities had been deprived of a decent broadband service because all the effort and money had gone into subsidising BT's fibre optic cable roll-out. "The system that has been put in place has resulted in significant sums of money being put at the disposal of BT," Steve Maine told members of the Culture and Media Select Committee. "This has had an anti-competitive effect, working to the detriment of consumers." WiSpire's unique selling point is that it uses transmitters in church spires to deliver broadband to hard-to-reach areas. Mr Maine's argument is that in rural areas, the kind of technology offered by his company and others can sometimes be better than relying on fibre optic cable. Yet the government and county council have decided to subsidise BT to provide superfast broadband to 95% of the population. "Government policy is focussed exclusively on the deployment of fibre," he said. "Fibre is good technology for providing a lot of bandwidth in densely-populated areas, but it can be expensive to deploy in sparsely-populated areas. To deliver good broadband services economically in sparsely-populated areas, you need to use other technologies" Mr Maine also questioned whether there was too much emphasis on providing homes with high speed broadband. Many people in rural areas, he said, were struggling with very low capacity, often under 2Mbps. "For them 10Mbps would be nirvana," said Mr Maine, who believes they could probably live without the superfast speed which BT is being subsidised to install. Fibre cable, he argued, was not the solution to providing a universal service. Mr Maine also accused BT and the county councils of "a clever use of language" to suggest fibre cable was covering a much larger area of the country than it really is and ever will be able to. "Even in areas which are claimed by BT and the county councils to be served by fibre cables, you will find large numbers of people who are not benefitting from the alleged availability of fibre in those areas. This is a grotesque problem that needs to be addressed" It'll be interesting to see if the MPs, when they publish their report, agree with Mr Maine. There is some disquiet among MPs about the decision to give BT the contract to roll out fibre broadband, and South Norfolk MP, Richard Bacon, has raised concerns in the Public Accounts Committee. Just the other week, more than 100 MPs including Peter Aldous (Waveney), Sir Henry Bellingham (North West Norfolk), Sir Simon Burns (Chelmsford), Douglas Carswell (Clacton), Jonathan Djanogly (Huntingdon) and Stewart Jackson (Peterborough) raised concerns about giving BT Openreach the broadband contract. They suggested the company should be broken up. BT and Norfolk County Council did not give evidence to the committee but the county council said when it put the broadband contract out to tender, BT was the only company to apply. It says the deal with BT has connected thousands of people but it accepts there is still more to do.

Conor Chaplin headed the visitors into the lead after 24 minutes, meeting Christian Burgess' long diagonal ball with an effort that looped beyond Will Norris and into the far corner. Cambridge saw strong appeals for a penalty turned down moments later as Burgess tangled with Uche Ikpeazu, before Kyle Bennett forced Norris into a sprawling save from the edge of the box. Just before the hour Cambridge substitute Ben Williamson missed a great chance to equalise, firing wide from close range after Portsmouth had failed to clear their lines, before the visitors were reduced to 10 men in the 61st minute. Amine Linganzi was shown a straight red card for going in dangerously on U's sub Conor Newton in the centre circle. Cambridge looked to capitalise on their numerical advantage and saw a shot deflected over from James Dunne, who also blazed well over 15 minutes from the end as Portsmouth held on.

Portsmouth survived half-an-hour with 10-men as they came away from Cambridge with a narrow win.

This is because the rules regarding the granting of work permits to players from outside the European Union were fundamentally changing. From 1 May, footballers from countries outside Fifa's top 50-ranked sides will find it harder to play in English football - whereas the previous rule covered countries in the top 70. At a stroke, footballers from eight African nations sitting in the 50-70 belt - Mali, Congo-Brazzaville, Gabon, South Africa, Egypt, Zambia, Rwanda and Burkina Faso - found any Premier League dreams shattered. Former Nigeria captain Sunday Oliseh called the changes "unnecessary warfare", and legitimately asked why England can't do more to improve its coaching standards. Meanwhile Zambia Football Association President Kalusha Bwalya said his career "would not even have started if these proposals were in place" when he was a player. He labelled the system "unfair" and said talent should be rewarded no matter when you are from, citing George Weah - the only African to ever be crowned Fifa Footballer of the Year (in 1995) - as an example. The striker, who made his name at Monaco and Milan before joining Chelsea, hails from Liberia, who are currently 117th in the world and who have never been higher than 66th. The good news though is that the rules have been misunderstood to a certain degree and that if a player from an African nation outside Fifa's top 50 is good enough - and that is the key, being good enough - he is still likely to make it to England. The new proposals are planned to increase the chances for quality players to come in, and both the size of the transfer fee and wage will be factored in when considering whether to import a player who fails the new work permit rules. In short, the higher the price, the better chance for a non-EU player to gain entry, especially if he is already proven in Europe. The key difference is that routine players who have contributed little to the game, perhaps even having fallen through the divisions, are being targeted for exclusion, with the obvious hope that English players can make the most of the places that will have been freed up for them. So Emmanuel Mayuka may not have made it to Southampton, for example, while a host of Africans would never have made it to the championship. In fact, the English FA says 33% of players who earned work permits under the old system in the last five years would not have been granted a visa under the new rules. It all means countless African footballers will try their luck elsewhere - with perhaps more finding their way to Spain's La Liga or German's thundering Bundesliga or the riches on offer in Russia. Many pathways are still open - it is just that the quality of players from the continent arriving in the Premier League is set to be the creme de la creme - adding to the riches already provided by Didier Drogba, Yaya Toure and Michael Essien among others. Given the pride Africans take in seeing their own light up the Premier League, this should not be too damaging - unless you are an agent of course. The Office of Fair Access says there are "stubborn gaps" in participation at highly-selective universities. But director Prof Les Ebdon said these universities were full of capable people who excelled at problem solving. His comments come after universities called for the limit on tuition fees in England to be lifted. Last week, Universities UK, representing university leaders, said it wanted fees to rise with inflation above the current £9,000 cap. The body said the value of the fees, which have been fixed since 2012, had been declining in real terms. Now Offa, which regulates fair access to higher education in England, says highly-selective universities must use their academic and research expertise to improve fair access and build on progress so far. In a speech to the Brilliant Club's annual conference, Prof Ebdon will tell an audience of university staff that the key to making faster progress is to make better use of the research expertise they have available to them. In his speech, Prof Ebdon will say: "There have been stubborn gaps in participation at highly selective universities for a long time, but the tanker is starting to turn. "Highly-selective universities are starting to achieve real change, by developing creative, evidence-led solutions underpinned by increasing understanding of what's most effective at each particular institution. "They face tough challenges in improving access. But highly-selective universities are full of highly-intelligent people who excel at solving problems. If they truly harness their wealth of research expertise, it could bring a step change in progress. "Offa has already begun to work closely with university researchers to improve evidence and understanding, and the whole sector will benefit from sharing the outcomes of this work." The Brilliant Club is a non-profit organisation that aims to widen access to top universities for outstanding pupils from non-selective state schools. The group recruits, trains and places doctoral and postdoctoral researchers into non-selective state schools and sixth-form colleges in areas where few young people take up a place at university. They give university-style tutorials to small groups of outstanding pupils to help them develop the knowledge, skills and ambition needed to secure places at top universities. John Earle was a teacher at a school in Okehampton, Devon, when he carried out the assaults between 1957 and 1961. Earle, 87, narrated two Jackanory stories in 1971. He admitted six counts of indecently assaulting the same boy when he was aged nine to 13 between September 1957 and August 1961. More on this story and others from Devon Exeter Crown Court heard the school closed in the early 1960s and Earle went on to present a short lived children's programme called Treasure House between 1964 and 1965. He became a familiar figure on television in the late 1960s as co presenter of the science show Tom-Tom from 1965 to 1970. The Jackanory appearances marked the end of his broadcasting career, and he moved on to buy a farm on Dartmoor, which he converted into a moorland exploration centre with bunk rooms. He became one of the leading experts on trekking on the moors. The case was adjourned for sentencing at a later date. Judge Mr Justice Dingemans told him: "All sentencing options, including immediate imprisonment, will be available to the court." He ordered Earle to sign on the sex offenders' register immediately. The ex-West Yorkshire Police officer was accused of contacting Surrey police before they questioned Savile in 2009 over alleged sexual offences. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said on Saturday that the officer had "no case to answer". After his death, it became clear Savile was one of the UK's most prolific sexual predators. West Yorkshire Police was ordered by the IPCC in 2013 to refer the conduct of the officer. On Saturday, an IPCC spokesman said: "An IPCC investigation has concluded that a former West Yorkshire Police officer has no case to answer over allegations that he "acted on behalf" of Jimmy Savile by inappropriately contacting Surrey Police ahead of a police interview in 2009." West Yorkshire Police said it had no comment. Savile was one of Britain's biggest stars, best known for TV favourites like Top of the Pops and Jim'll Fix It as well as stints on BBC Radio 1. He exploited hundreds of people - assaulting and raping some his victims in television dressing rooms, hospitals, schools, children's homes and his caravan. Timothy Down said he was so worried about noises coming from Natasha Bradbury's Haverfordwest flat that he hung his mobile phone out of the window. But he told Swansea Crown Court he was advised not to get involved. Miss Bradbury's ex-boyfriend Luke Jones, 33, denies her murder. The 27-year-old died from blunt force injuries on 22 February, which Mr Jones said she caused to herself by falling down. Mr Down, who lived in flat D, said he was woken by the sound of "serious, heavy banging" coming from flat A. Paul Lewis, prosecuting, asked Mr Down why he did not call the police and he said he rang his father who advised him not to get involved. The jury heard that on the night she died, Miss Bradbury had been exchanging texts with a man she had met at a friend's house, but the messages stopped suddenly at 22.10 BST. The prosecution claim Mr Jones killed Miss Bradbury a short while later, because at 02:48 BST he called for an ambulance and told the operator she was already "freezing cold" and that "her lips are blue". After his arrest Mr Jones, from Milford Haven, gave prepared statements to the police. They said Miss Bradbury had caused the injuries to herself by falling down. The case continues. An anti-gang injunction was made against Joshua James Murray in 2014 over his alleged links with the Deepdale Gangsters in Preston. Challenging the order at London's Civil Appeal Court, Mr Murray's counsel claimed he was not in the group. Dismissing the claim, judges said gang members were "all in it together". The injunction, made under the Policing and Crime Act 2009, was one of seven served against alleged members of the gang. One of the others was 18-year-old Jonjo Highton, who was murdered in what police described as a "mass attack" in Preston in August 2014. Lancashire Police said Mr Murray had been involved in three violent attacks between June 2013 and May 2014. The order imposed a night-time curfew, barred him from parts of Preston, and banned him from both travelling in a car with more than two others and carrying multiple mobile phones. Any breach would leave him liable to arrest, the court was told. His challenge, which claimed the order was too widely drawn, represented one of the first times the Court of Appeal has considered such injunctions. Dismissing Mr Murray's claims that he had never heard of the Deepdale Gangsters, Lord Justice McCombe said: "It seems to me that the violence attributed to the gangs in this case could scarcely have been more serious." He said gang members were "all in it together" and it appeared to be "a matter of serendipity" which of them took part in each attack. As a result, he and Lord Justice Elias ruled the order against Mr Murray was "amply justified". The Accies manager has added centre-half Xavier Tomas and goalkeeper Ryan Fulton to his squad this summer. But he is looking for two forwards. "The guys you know can make a difference, every other team wants them and the boys think they can play at a higher level for much bigger clubs," said Canning. "At this stage, for clubs of our size, it's not easy to get in the guys you want to get in. "So you've got to be patient, keep working at it. "A lot of the players you know can make a difference think they can play in the English Championship or English Premier League and, rightly so, want to play at the highest level they can. "Probably towards the end of the transfer window, it starts to get to the point where they realise that's not going to happen for them and have to broaden their search." Accies were the last club in the Scottish Premiership to make a signing this summer and it was not until the day before the season kicked off against East Kilbride in the League Cup that Tomas was signed for an undisclosed fee from Swiss top-flight outfit Lausanne-Sport. However Canning, who has since added goalkeeper Fulton from Liverpool, insists that fans should not be concerned about the lack of changes to a squad that only avoided relegation thanks to a play-off win over Dundee United. "The club have been great this year in backing us as much as they can," he said. "We weren't targeting eight, nine or 10 players. "We are looking to bring four or five guys that will make a difference because this year we are in a good place again. "Our young kids are coming through to give us squad players. We've got young Ryan Tierney, Ross Cunningham, Ronan Hughes, Shaun Want, Steven Boyd. "If these guys were not coming through, I would probably be running about trying to bring in another five or six players from all over the place just to bulk up the squad." Canning thinks some of the players breaking through have the potential to match the success of former Accies midfielders James McCarthy and James McArthur, who went on to command sizeable transfer fees and win caps for Republic of Ireland and Scotland respectively. In the short term, he hopes they will follow the example of defender Scott McMann, who became a first-team regular after progressing from the youth ranks last season. Canning needed another central defender after the summer exits of Jesus Garcia Tena and Danny Seaborne, plus long-term injury to captain Michael Devlin. Meanwhile, Fulton is a replacement for Remi Matthews, who returned to Norwich City after his loan spell. "We have been looking for a big dominant centre-back all summer," added Canning. "It has been a long process and I can assure you you spend lots of hours on the computer looking at CVs - you get hundreds of them sent through every week and you're constantly looking through them, scared not to look at one just in case you miss something. "So it's very time-consuming and Xavier stood out about a month ago and it was something we have been working on. "Ryan, we kept an eye on him right from the end of last season when we knew Remi was going back. "Initially, we were looking at getting him in on loan, but eventually we got a deal to make him our player, which is even better." The 84-year-old was targeted by the female attacker in the Bridgeton area of Glasgow on Thursday morning. Detectives said the woman forced her way into a block of flats in Main Street at about 08:05 before demanding money from the pensioner. She made off with a two-figure sum. Police have appealed for witnesses. Police said the suspect threatened the victim with a knife before making off with the cash and escaping north along Main Street towards Bridgeton Cross. Det Con Lucy McMillan said: "For someone to force their way into an elderly woman's home and subject her to such a terrifying ordeal is absolutely despicable. "It is crucial that we find the person responsible for this cowardly crime and I would urge anyone who was in the Bridgeton area on Thursday morning to come forward if they think they may have seen a woman matching the description or anything else suspicious." The attacker is described as being about aged between 20 and 30, about 5ft 4in tall with a gaunt appearance. She was wearing a black and grey jacket, dark trousers and trainers. She was also wearing glasses. Police said they were increasing the number of patrols in the area to provide assurance to concerned residents. Anyone with information is asked to contact officers from the Community Investigation Unit based at Govan via 101. Matt Grimstone and Jacob Schilt were among the 11 who died on 22 August. The club normally plays in front of about 100 people, but more than a thousand tickets were sold for Sunday's FA Vase match against East Preston. Manager Nigel Geary said people wanted to pay their respects. He said not everyone could attend the funerals and people wanted to come to the match and show their support. Vice-chairman Mark Sanderson said it had been a remarkable day and the club had never seen anything like it. Memorial scarves were printed with the names of the two players, and 2,500 programmes were produced. Proceeds are being used to pay for a permanent tribute to the players, who were travelling together to a game when a vintage jet crashed on to the A27 in West Sussex. An initial report into the Shoreham air show disaster said the Hawker Hunter jet showed "no abnormal indications" during its flight. Andy Hill, the 51-year-old pilot, remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital. Babafemi Junaid, known as Femi, was found stabbed at about 17:30 GMT on Friday in Clapham Road, near Stockwell Tube station, south London. Officers believe the 22-year-old was stabbed in Clapham Road and had then got into his car which was then in collilsion with the bus. No-one else is thought to have been injured in the incident. The Metropolitan Police force said it believed the stabbing might be linked to an earlier report of a fight on a nearby bus. Mr Junaid was taken to hospital after he was found but died later in the evening, police said. No arrests have been made. A post-mortem examination will be held in due course. Zane Lowe is giving up his evening show after nearly 12 years and heading to Los Angeles to work for Apple in a role which is so far unknown. Newsbeat has spoken to some of the bands who got their first play through Zane. From the "ignition in his head" to his domination of indie and rock music, here's what they said. Listen to what they had to say. "He'll be sorely missed, I've never met anyone more enthusiastic," Serge from Kasabian tells Newsbeat. "He cares and he knows more about tunes and music and especially about new artists than anyone. "He turned me onto things I would have never listened to and he would be there at the front and always supportive, that is the thing about Zane. "He is like positive, positive, positive and that energy will be massively missed but God bless him and good luck to him." "I was sad about it because he is such an institution," says Lauren Mayberry from Chvrches. "The first time I did a phone interview with Zane Lowe, I was really worried and very nervous because I remembered leaving school early when I was younger so I could get home in time to see him interview Queens of The Stone Age. "But never tell him that because it is embarrassing. "He has been really supportive of the band and I think it will be sad for the UK music scene but maybe it will be good news for Apple iTunes streaming - that's what my bet's on." "For us, I feel like he is the John Peel of our time," Laurie Vincent from Slaves tells Newsbeat. "We used to do band practice and then I'd drive home listening to Radio 1 and be annoyed that we weren't being played by Zane Lowe. "So getting played by Zane Lowe was my first goal with radio. "Gutted, sad news but I am glad he is not just sticking with what he is doing, I think moving on and reinventing yourself is an important part of life." "The thing I found about Zane when we first met him is that he genuinely is as enthusiastic as he comes across on the radio," Felix from The Maccabees says. "He genuinely does hold that much information and I thought that was a really heart warming thing about Zane, from getting to know him. "Zane is a really wonderful person." "I think Zane is incredible," Big Sean tells Newsbeat. "He is one of those voices that so many people are familiar with. I feel like he brought out the best in people which made for the best interviews. "I personally have never interviewed with him, maybe I met him once but you feel like you know him just because of his personality, how he is "Some of his interviews are and probably will be some of my favourite interviews of all time, so shout out to Zane and congratulations on a new chapter, you dominated this so congrats." Peace are another band who got early support from Zane. "Over the past two years I've kind of kept in touch with him via email, I've sent him tracks that we've been working on," frontman Harry Koisser says. "It's really enjoyable to listen to someone talk about any band, especially your band, where you can tell when he likes something. "There's this ignition in his head and he suddenly becomes really passionate. "I sent him an email to say thanks for everything while I've got a chance to say it, best of luck in the future. "He emailed back straight away and was genuinely thankful. "I just wish him the best of luck and whatever he does he is going to be himself and he is just going to bring that somewhere else. "I think a big part of it is just the length and the quality of quantity he has given in the past and he takes risks as well." "It's definitely a shame, he was a big supporter of my music from the very start, I do believe he gave Trouble Town its first play," Bugg says. "He knows a lot about his music and he is certainly a character that I think is going to be missed. "He created memories and now we get to create new ones in the future." "I have nothing but good things to say about Zane Lowe," says Frank Turner. "He helped out a Million Dead, he's helped me out, he has helped out countless bands. "Something a friend of mine said about Zane Lowe ages ago which I think is very true, is he could have collected his pay check and done about a quarter of the work he actually did. "He worked hard to find new music. "I just love the way one week he would be interviewing Foo Fighters and the next some band you had never heard of and it was a genuine music nerd's passion." "Zane was one of the main guys at Radio 1 who has his ear to the pulse and is able to play some of the newest stuff," Bipolar Sunshine tells Newsbeat. "He ripped my first song off SoundCloud and started playing it so I hold high regard for him."

The ruling Social Democrats' share of the vote dropped to below 13%. It is a dramatic comeback for the parties widely blamed for Iceland's economic meltdown in 2008. Iceland saw its prosperity evaporate, as the country's three banks collapsed, and the Social Democrats came to power a year later, with a programme of austerity tailored to international lenders' requirements. "The Independence party has been called to duty again," said leader Bjarni Benediktsson, who looks likely to become prime minister. "We've seen what cutbacks have done for our healthcare system and social benefits... now it's time to make new investments, create jobs and start growth," he said. But the party seen as the major winner of the election was the Progressives, whose vote almost doubled. "I'm very pleased," said leader Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson. The centre-right camp has promised debt relief and a cut in taxes. The two leading parties, which will now enter coalition negotiations, are also seen as Eurosceptic, and their poll success could slow down Iceland's efforts to become a member of the European Union. The Eurosceptics argue that Iceland already gets most of the benefits of full membership through existing free trade arrangements with the EU and by being part the Schengen visa-free travel zone. Many Icelanders have become frustrated with the outgoing Social Democrat government, saying that its austerity policies were too painful. Two new parties performed particularly well: Bright Future, which won six seats, and the Pirate party, with three. The Social Democrats saw their share of the vote fall dramatically to 12.9% (nine seats) while the Left-Greens' vote fell to 10.9% (seven seats). Social Democrat leader Arni Pall Arnason, while disappointed, refused to acknowledge that the two centre-right parties had been given a major vote of confidence. "Their democratic mandate to change society is absolutely zero," he said. The men, who are both medical students, flew from Sudan to Turkey last week. In March a different group of nine British medical students from the same college in Sudan also disappeared after going to Turkey. One of the men in that group later appeared in an Islamic State (IS) propaganda film. The students from both groups attended the University of Medical Sciences and Technology in Khartoum, Sudan and the latest group flew to Istanbul last Friday. The brothers feared missing, Ibrahim and Mohamed Ageed, are aged 20 and 22 respectively. Their mother, Nawal Salih, spoke to the BBC from her home in Leicester and said she was "very worried and very upset" because her sons had suddenly left in the middle of taking their exams. She said she did not understand the reasons for their behaviour, and confirmed that her husband, who is also a doctor, had travelled to Turkey to try to get them back before they crossed the border. Ibrahim is a Manchester United fan who started his studies in Khartoum in 2012. His elder brother Mohamed was due to graduate this month. Dr Ahmed Babikir, a dean at the fee-paying university, said the brothers were joined by five other British students. Sudanese social media reports suggest they may have travelled as part of a larger group of students, including an American from the university. There are claims in the Sudanese press that some members of the group have been detained in Turkey, although that has not been confirmed officially. A man claiming to be the father of one of the British students has used social media in a bid to stop his son falling into the hands of IS. He claimed that one of the group was a 20-year-old woman believed to be from south London. The departure of the students has raised concerns that their university has become a hotbed for Islamist extremists. The group that left in March included Ahmed Sami Khider, who graduated in July 2014. Within weeks of leaving he appeared in a propaganda film produced by IS urging more British medics to join him in Syria. In the film, and wearing a stethoscope around his neck, he says: "Here I've found a great cause and I ask you all to join this cause". In the sleekly produced film, which includes footage of what is claimed to be state-of-the art IS medical facilities, Khider directly addresses Muslims in the UK - especially specialist doctors - urging them "to leave the land of England and make the hijra (migration) here and help your brothers and sisters". "There is a great cause being fought here and the caravan is leaving," he adds. Addressing the camera he then says: "Use your skills and come here… We are always in desperate need of doctors." The programme told the real story of abuse and then failings by authorities in Rochdale between 2008 and 2012. The portrayal of the real people was "outstanding", according to lawyer Richard Scorer, who has represented the girl known as Holly in the show. He said: "In terms of character acting I think it's extremely true to life." Mr Scorer represented "Holly" in a civil case following the criminal trial that saw nine men convicted of running a child sexual exploitation ring in the Greater Manchester town. He told BBC News: "In terms of awareness raising of the issue it's an outstanding piece of drama." It was difficult for the producers to "delve into the complexities of the grooming process" but "they've done it as well as you could do in this sort of programme". Nazir Afzal, who was chief prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service in the north-west of England at the time, described the programme as "true and terrifying in equal measure". He told BBC News: "Three Girls was a landmark film for a landmark case. It did not minimise the impact of the crimes on the victims and was a harrowing but ultimately rewarding watch. "Brilliantly acted, written and directed, it can only have enhanced awareness of child protection issues in the 21st Century and, by doing so, offered hope and confidence to others who may have suffered similar abuse." Maxine Peake played Sara Rowbotham, Rochdale's Crisis Intervention Team co-ordinator at the time, who repeatedly tried to raise the alarm. Ms Rowbotham told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme: "It was really accurate. It was absolutely the truth. "What the writer was able to do was combine all our truths… the parents, the young people… Maxine played me but I was actually a combination of the team I managed at the time. Everything Maxine said was a true reflection and a true scenario." Many viewers were incredulous to discover just before the end credits of Thursday's final episode that Ms Rowbotham was made redundant after the events. But the drama was widely praised on social media. Emma Jackson, who wrote a book about her experiences of being exploited in Rotherham, wrote: "There is no words to describe #ThreeGirls its been a hard 3 days. Well done to Holly, Amber & Ruby. There is 1000's of them across the UK." ITV News presenter Alastair Stewart said: "#ThreeGirls The closing shots of the three victims must be among the strongest I have ever seen. Soul destroying. A brilliant docu-drama." TV blogger Elliot Gonzalez wrote: "#ThreeGirls is one of the most harrowing dramas I have ever seen on television, but a necessary watch. Well done to all involved." But in The Telegraph, Ben Lawrence wrote: "I can't help feeling that the series fell slightly short of expectations. Real-life dramas are a TV trend but to succeed they have to tell us something new and I'm not sure Three Girls did." The drama didn't explore the mainly Pakistani perpetrators' stories fully enough and the BBC was "too timid" to address their backgrounds directly, he said. "Only briefly did we see what might have caused them to treat underage white girls as if they were prostitutes. "A braver, more provocative, more pioneering work would have got to the root of the problem and made men such as 'Daddy' its focal point."

Although the 6,833 houses and flats completed is slightly down on the previous year, it is the second highest figure in nine years. It includes 1,243 social and council homes, according to Welsh Government figures, which are based on National Housing Building Council returns. This is the second highest number of new homes for social and housing association landlords since 1998-99. Newport and the Vale of Glamorgan are where the largest numbers of houses were built in 2016-17. Cardiff had the largest number of flats - nearly a third of the total completed in Wales. The Federation of Master Builders (FMB), in its programme for government, has called for 14,000 new homes a year to be built in Wales over the next five years. But it said the figures on Wednesday showed "a lot of room for improvement" and believes smaller building firms should be brought into the mix more, particularly those parts of Wales less attractive to the big house builders. Ifan Glyn, director of FMB Cymru, said: "Around 75% of homes in Wales are now built by five big companies. House building on small parcels of land needs to be made more attractive to small and medium sized construction companies, who are at the moment working on things like house extensions." The FMB wants small building firms brought into the local development plan process and for an end to social housing stipulations for small private developments. Community Housing Cymru, which represents the social housing sector, welcomed the figures. With the Welsh Government and Welsh Local Government Association, it set a target last year for 20,000 affordable homes to be built by 2021, including 12,500 by housing associations. AMs discuss housing need Stuart Ropke, chief executive of Community Housing Cymru, said: "Our members completed 1,224 new homes in 2016-17, 98% of new homes in the social sector. While we have an excellent delivery track record and, in fact, over-delivered on the previous target, continued investment in the sector is vital to ensure that we meet this new target." It has also highlighted welfare issues facing tenants and support for the construction industry in its Homes for Wales campaign for the general election. Two men, both aged 21, were attacked in the Grassmarket area of the city between 01:30 and 01:45 on Sunday 27 November. One man was punched several times and suffered serious facial injuries. The second man was uninjured. The three men police want to speak to were last seen heading in the direction of Victoria Street. The first man is described as in his 20s, 5ft 10in tall, of medium build, with black hair, stubble and wearing a light blue, long-sleeved shirt and black trousers. The second man is described as in his 20s, 5ft 7in tall, of slim build, with dark hair, and wearing a light-coloured jumper and dark jeans. The third man is described as in his 20s 6ft tall, of medium build, with dark hair, and wearing a black shirt and black trousers. Det Con Andy Cory, of Gayfield CID, said: "We've conducted numerous inquiries in the area since the incident, but are today appealing for the public's help. "Anyone who recognises these men is urged to contact us as soon as possible. "Likewise, if the men see this appeal, they are asked to get in touch with us themselves." The contract got the go-ahead after international sanctions on Iran were lifted earlier this year, following a deal over its nuclear programme. Israel, the US and Saudi Arabia are all opposed to the missile contract. Russian officials say the first batch could be delivered 18 months after Iran has specified the S-300 type that it wants. Technical talks are continuing. "The deal to supply the S-300 to Iran has not only been signed between the parties but it has already come into force," said Sergei Chemezov, head of Russia's Rostec arms firm, speaking at the Dubai Airshow-2015. The $800m (£545m) contract, signed in 2007, was frozen by Russia in 2010 because of the international sanctions. President Vladimir Putin unfroze it in April. Israel and the US fear the missiles could be used to protect Iranian nuclear sites from air strikes. The S-300 can be used against multiple targets including jets, or to shoot down other missiles. The S-300B4 variant - delivered to the Russian armed forces last year - can shoot down any medium-range missile in the world today, flies at five times the speed of sound and has a range of 400km (248 miles), Tass reports. Profile: Russia's S-300 missile system When the Russian deal was suspended Iran filed a lawsuit seeking billions of dollars in damages. Mr Chemezov said Saudi Arabia had asked Rostec repeatedly not to supply the S-300 to Iran. But he insisted that it was a defensive weapon. "So if the Gulf countries are not going to attack Iran... why should they be threatened? Because this is defence equipment," Reuters news agency quoted him as saying. Financial Fraud Action, a body set up by the financial services industry, said that fraudsters were impersonating major companies to steal money. They claim they are fixing a slow internet connection, but trick firms into allowing funds to be transferred. Some claim to be calling as a result of recent high-profile data breaches. "You should never let someone else have access to your computer remotely, especially if they have contacted you via an unsolicited phone call," said Katy Worobec, director of Financial Fraud Action UK. "If you are in doubt, then call the organisation back on a number you trust; if they are legitimate they will understand." While "working" on the internet fault, the fraudster claims the victim is entitled to compensation and asks them to log into their bank account. The scammers still have access to the computer and will put up a fake screen which makes it appear the money has arrived. Working in the background, they will take money from the victim's bank account. Financial Fraud Action said that con-artists were preying on concerns over recent data breaches. Hacks have compromised businesses such as Talk Talk, Sony and Carphone Warehouse. GSK wants to sell the Horlicks business in the UK, where it is marketed as a bedtime drink. The company wants to keep the Horlicks business in India where it marketed as a nutritional drink to children and has seen strong growth. A sale would be the first major move by chief executive Emma Walmsley who succeeded Sir Andrew Witty in April. Earlier this year, when revealing her first set of results as GSK's boss, Ms Walmsley said that she wanted to prioritise GSK's drugs business. "I want to make that more at the heart of where we spend our leadership time and what we spend our time talking about," she said at the time. Pharmaceuticals makes up the bulk of GSK's revenue, accounting for £16.1bn of a total £27.8bn in annual sales. The Horlicks brand, which is more than 100 years old, is housed within the consumer healthcare division, which Ms Walmsley led prior to taking over the top job at GSK, and it generated £7.2bn in sales over 2016. Although Horlicks is popular in India, GSK noted when it announced its full year figures there had been a general slowing of the health food drink category in the country "which impacted the performance of the nutrition category and Horlicks in particular". This continued in the first quarter of the year. Officers were called to the Premier Store in Busby Road at about 13:40. Police said a man brandishing a knife threatened two male members of staff but fled empty-handed. One of the men sustained a slight injury but did not require treatment. Officers were checking CCTV and inquiries are continuing. The suspect was described as a white Scottish man, over 6ft in height and was wearing a woollen hat and carrying a black bag. Keates, who made over 150 league appearances and captained the club to an FA Trophy win in 2013, has been handed his first managerial role as Gary Mills' successor. Arfon Griffiths, Brian Flynn and more recently Andy Morrell were all former players given their first chance of management by the north Wales club. All three left their own mark on a club which is now in its eighth season outside the Football League. Wrexham have not mounted a serious play-off challenge since the reign of Morrell, who had Keates as club captain. Morrell, now manager of National League North side Tamworth, was one of the first to message Keates with congratulations on his appointment. "He's perfect for it," Morrell told BBC Radio Wales Sport. "He's somebody who is ambitious, enthusiastic and has got Wrexham at heart. "He fought tooth and nail when he was a player for them and put his body on the line and he'll do exactly the same thing in the manager's job as well. "It's a great opportunity for him because these don't come along very often." Morrell, like Keates, initially took over on an interim basis in September 2011 when Dean Saunders left for Doncaster Rovers and was later made permanent. However, Morrell took over a side that was second in the Conference while Keates' Wrexham are currently 14th and eight points off the play-off places. "I was in a better position because we had won seven out of the 10 games," Morrell recalls. "All I had to do was carry on doing what we were doing and the lads were great. "Dean has got to somehow change the mind-set of the players. "They've got to change that mentality into one that's a winning one and he can do it. "He'll lead from the front and he'll tell them exactly what he wants." The appointment has also drawn comparisons with another diminutive midfielder turned Wrexham manager Flynn. Although 5ft 5ins, Keates joked at his press conference: "I'm a bit taller than Flynnie though." Flynn, the former Wales international, made the switch from player to manager at Wrexham as Dixie McNeil's successor in November 1989. He transformed a side which finished bottom of the Football League to FA Cup giant killers, with notable wins over Arsenal and West Ham United during his 12-year tenure. "It's a very similar situation to when Brian Flynn came in and look at the success he had at the football club," said Peter Jones, chair of Wrexham Supporters' Trust. "We felt the opportunity for Dean was the right time. He knows the club, he knows everyone here." Flynn was renowned for giving young players their chance at Wrexham and Morrell says home grown talent is key to the club's development and sustainability. "I hope they can get a plan in place not just to try and make the play-offs this season or next season," Morrell told BBC Wales. Media playback is not supported on this device "It's got to be a longer term plan. What are they going to do with the academy? Are they going to use that properly and get players from that and bring them into the first team? "You've got assets there that you can sell whereas at the moment they seem to be ignoring that. If they can get those players through then that gets the fans on board. "If there's a plan in place there's no reason why in a few years' time you can't be pushing again. "There's so many big teams that are struggling to get back to where they should be and Wrexham are a Football League club in mine and a lot of people's eyes. "Keatsy will be positive and he'll push them on and make them play well." The Australian first arrived in England with Saracens in 2008 following a six-year spell with NSW Waratahs. After a season under Eddie Jones at Saracens, he moved on to Wasps in 2009, spending two years at Adams Park before joining Japanese side Kyuden Voltex. He returned to Australia with Western Force before rejoining Wasps at the start of the 2014-15 season. Jacobs said: "I'd like to thank Bob Dwyer, who signed me to my first pro contract, Ewen McKenzie for giving me my first cap as a Waratah, Eddie Jones for bringing me over to Europe, Tony Hanks and Shaun Edwards for convincing me to sign with Wasps, and Dai Young in bringing me back to Wasps." Jacobs, who has recently become a father for the first time, plans to stay in England in a coaching capacity. Sydney-born Jacobs played 57 times for Wasps in his first two seasons with the club, scoring 10 tries, but he has been more of a squad player over the past three years, making just 31 further appearances. He has not played since suffering a knee injury in the 15-11 Champions Cup defeat by Toulon in January. Eddie Jones, the man who brought Jacobs to England, was full of praise for his fellow Australian. "Ben's a lovely guy," said the England coach. "He played a lot of good Super Rugby in Australia, particularly for the Waratahs. And, when I took over at Saracens, he was one of the guys I brought over. "Unfortunately, Ben had a few injuries for Saracens, but since then he's done really well for Wasps and has played superbly for them. "Guys like Elliot Daly have benefited enormously from playing with him. I'm sure, for the rest of his life, Ben will look back at his rugby with affection and enjoy those memories." Wasps director of rugby Dai Young added: "Ben has been a key figure within Wasps' squad during his two stints with the club. "He has been a great influence within this group on and off the field and has made a big contribution over the past few seasons as we've worked our way up the table." The manager has been physically and emotionally drained by events at the club, including the departure of long-standing administration and ground staff. McCoist was also assured that no employees at Murray Park would be affected, only for some to later be told that they would be losing their jobs. He will now work his 12-month notice period, unless the board decide to settle his contract or put him on gardening leave. The BBC has learned that the decision has been playing on McCoist's mind for several weeks. He has grown increasingly concerned at events at the club, with several staff being made redundant in recent weeks. The accounts revealed an £8m loss for the financial year to the end of June 2014 and the directors outlined that at least £8m will be required in fresh funding from January to keep the business going for another 12 months. Derek Llambias, the former Newcastle United managing director and long-time ally of Mike Ashley, has been playing a prominent role at Ibrox ever since the Magpies and Sports Direct owner provided the club with £3m in loans. Ashley holds a stake of around 9% in Rangers International Football Club and Llambias has since been appointed to the board as a non-executive director. Yet, when Ashley took his initial shareholding in RIFC, he agreed an undertaking with the Scottish Football Association that he would not hold more than 10% and would not have influence on the board. McCoist has revealed that discussions in recent weeks on possible transfer activity in January were held with Llambias. Llambias, along with Sports Direct's Barry Leach, have been assessing the financial and staffing arrangements at Ibrox in recent weeks and been prominent around the stadium as staff were made redundant. The staff who lost their jobs were not high earners - among them were the long-standing secretary to the manager and a groundsman - and McCoist came to feel that he should hand in his own notice. He is also aware that some board members have long wanted him replaced and McCoist wanted to take the initiative himself rather than wait for others to eventually decide his fate. If the board keep him in place, McCoist is comfortable with the challenge of trying to gain promotion and remains confident he can guide the team to that ambition "He's had enough of seeing decent, honest people with Rangers in their heart losing their jobs," a source told the BBC. "The club has been haemorrhaging money and these people losing their jobs won't make a significant difference to that. "This is not him walking away. He has just handed in his notice. He needs some time out to recharge his batteries, but he will continue to help Rangers and Rangers supporters as much as he can. "If someone with Rangers in his heart feels he has to take this step then he hopes others who have been in and around events at the club in recent years will do the same. "I can't think of any other manager who has had to put up with administration, liquidation, Whyte, Green and everything else that has gone on at Rangers." McCoist has been drained by events behind the scenes at Rangers but remains emotionally committed to the club. He is also a shareholder in Rangers International Football Club. Media playback is not supported on this device Tries from Iain Henderson and Stuart McCloskey put Ulster in control, but Stuart Hogg and Tommy Seymour crossed for Warriors to seal the win. "We've got a game in hand and we're right back in it," Townsend said. "We have four away games out of our five remaining games so the next two weeks are going to be important." Glasgow struggled to live with Ulster in the opening exchanges. Having lost Hogg to the sin-bin with just two minutes on the clock, Henderson strolled over after relentless Ulster pressure. Three Finn Russell penalties kept the home side in touch at 10-9 down at the break, but McCloskey's controversial try early in the second left Glasgow in trouble. Terrific tries in quick succession from Hogg and Seymour turned the tide, and Hogg's long-range penalty with the last kick of the game sickened Ulster by denying them a losing bonus point. Townsend was thrilled with the way his players responded in adversity. "The players kept the belief and a couple of great opportunities we took as well," the Warriors head coach told BBC Scotland. "I just said to the guys in the changing room, last week we showed our character defending a lead and tonight we showed our character in having to go out and attack and score the points to see home the victory. "We weren't as fluent as we would like to be. A big reason was the Ulster defence. They put so many bodies into the contact area. It did upset our rhythm but I felt there was space all the time. When teams put so many bodies into that area there's going to be less bodies defending outside the rucks. "I think we only gave away four penalties so our discipline in such an important game with such a physical team up against us was great." Jonny Gray returned to captain the side after missing Scotland's final Six Nations match against Ireland through injury, and Townsend was thrilled to have him back leading his charges. "He's a great player and he's growing into that captaincy role. He was asking the right questions, you could hear him speaking to the players, inspiring those around them. "He's played well every game he's played this season so that was just another one." Possessed of forthright opinions and a fine disregard for the art establishment, he succeeded in sharing his fascination for all things cultural in a manner that was extremely contagious. The combination of his high-pitched plummy voice and singular style of presentation made his television programmes compulsive viewing for millions. His gleeful and often scathing dismissal of anyone who held a view other than his own made his newspaper columns delightful and infuriating in equal measure. Brian Sewell was born on 15 July 1931. Brought up in London, he discovered much later in life, that his father was a minor composer named Philip Heseltine, better known by his alter ego Peter Warlock. His mother, whom Sewell described as something of a "girl about town", was one of a number of Warlock's mistresses and the couple never married. Perhaps because of the circumstances of his birth she refused to let her son out of her sight and even prevented him going to school. She did, however, imbue the young Sewell with a love of art, taking him to the National Gallery. It was only after she married that his new step-father insisted he had an education. He fell in love with Murillo's painting of The Holy Family when he was six and insisted his mother buy him a robe like the one worn by Jesus. He attended the independent Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School in North London before being offered a place to read history at Oxford. However, he turned it down, preferring to study for a degree in art history from the Courtauld Institute, where he was tutored by the art historian Anthony Blunt. "A vulgar prankster" David Hockney "Second-rank" Bridget Riley "Art's Jade Goody" Tracey Emin "Intelligence-insulting" Turner Prize "A minor museum" Tate Gallery Sewell worked as a dealer at the auctioneers Christie's, despite finding it almost unbearable to sell pictures to those he thought undeserving. His first taste of the limelight was in 1979 when Blunt was exposed as "the Fourth Man" in the Burgess-Maclean spy scandal. Although Sewell always denied that he and Blunt were intimate, it was Sewell who helped his mentor flee the press and, in the process, found himself in the media spotlight. His long career as an art critic gave him the opportunity to vent his extreme opinion. He lamented the dearth of great women painters, who he said simply "lacked the creative faculty". He called other art critics "a feeble, compliant, ignorant lot". Of the Turner Prize for contemporary art, he said: "Ignoring it is the kindest thing one can do." Sewell's foray into television brought his distinctive appearance - a whip-whirl of white hair, dark currant-bun eyes, a defiantly unfashionable mode of dress and what one critic called his "mouse-like quiverings" - to an audience much wider than the arts circles he so frequently pilloried. In programmes such as The Naked Pilgrim and The Grand Tour, he took viewers on cultural tours of Europe. If audiences tuned in for his comic turn, they stayed for his accessible expertise. Beyond his singular enunciation, complete with seductive sibilance and unbelievably extended "oooohs", his explanations were vibrant, rich in detail and meticulously researched. Despite its success, Sewell found no joy in this "moronic" television work, accusing his own production crews of being "fundamentally unserious". They, in their turn, called him "hell to work with". This was mild compared with the attitude of many of his arty peers. On one occasion, 36 assorted art world figures wrote collectively to the Evening Standard, demanding he be sacked. They accused him of "virulent homophobia and misogyny" and being "deeply hostile to and ignorant about contemporary art". Sewell responded: "We pee on things, we pee into things, we pee over things and we call it art. I don't know what art is, but I do know what it isn't." His disdain for many living artists was famous. David Hockney was described as "a vulgar prankster" while he scorned Bristol's promotion of the street artist Banksy. "The public doesn't know good from bad. For this city to be guided by the opinion of people who don't know anything about art is lunacy. It doesn't matter if they [the public] like it." He was serially evicted from those galleries and museums he had besmirched in print, and on one occasion was attacked with an umbrella in Bond Street by an outraged art dealer. Sewell reacted to these debacles with equanimity, sometimes with a fit of the giggles. Away from the canvas, he proved equally idiosyncratic in his pronouncements on everything from Palestine to pornography. He lived in a vast Wimbledon mansion, alone with only his beloved dogs and copious paintings for company. He rarely spoke about his sexuality but said he preferred to be called queer rather than gay. "I never came out," he once said, "but I have slowly emerged." And he condemned the legislation of gay marriage, saying that resources had been wasted on the wrong campaign. "The battle still to be won is against prejudice, the most insidious of enemies." He harboured a great love for classic cars and was an aficionado of stock car racing, making a programme on the subject for BBC Radio 4. Sewell was also a patron of NORM-UK, a charity that campaigns and distributes information on human circumcision. He was a figure both of fun and authority; his refusal to compromise or dumb down often alienated him from his art world peers, but bizarrely ensured his enduring mainstream appeal. Brian Sewell himself always claimed confusion with this paradox. He said: "People are terrified of me. I'm really quite cuddly." Memorial is famous for documenting human rights abuses in Russia. The US embassy in Moscow has voiced concern and asked the Russian government for an explanation. A new Russian law says foreign-funded non-governmental groups (NGOs) linked to politics must register as "foreign agents" - a term which suggests spying. In the worst repressions of the Soviet period the label "foreign agents" was used to denounce dissidents - or simply political rivals of Joseph Stalin - and could lead to execution. Memorial says inspectors returned to its Moscow offices on Friday, having already seized 600 documents including accounts on Thursday. A statement on the Memorial website said the inspections were directly linked to the new law on NGOs and the targeted groups' compliance with it. Memorial director Arseny Roginsky, quoted by the Russian news website Vesti, said it was "a complete check on everything concerned with our sources of funding". He insisted that the NGO law "will not change our position at all". "We won't refuse foreign donations, nor will we register as a 'foreign agent'," he said. Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused foreign-funded NGOs of meddling in politics on behalf of foreign powers. Two investigative reporters from state-controlled NTV television also turned up at Memorial's offices uninvited on Thursday. Memorial complained to police, who escorted the journalists out. Last October NTV broadcast a controversial documentary called Anatomy Of A Protest 2, which alleged that anti-Kremlin protest leaders in Russia were funded by a Georgian MP. The leaders denounced the allegations as a fabrication. NTV is owned by Russia's Gazprom gas monopoly and is seen as close to the Kremlin. A member of the Russian presidential Human Rights Council, Pavel Chikov, said up to 2,000 organisations had been targeted with inspections and searches this month, in connection with the NGO law. Speaking to the Associated Press news agency, he said "it goes full circle across the whole spectrum - they're trying to find as many violations as possible". Memorial has a representative on the Human Rights Council - Sergei Krivenko. Four other groups searched by the police also have representatives on the council, the Russian news website Vedomosti reports. The council has complained to Russian Prosecutor-General Yuri Chaika about increased checks carried out on NGOs in 13 regions. Last September the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) announced it had been ordered by the Russian authorities to shut down its operations. USAID has worked in Russia for two decades, spending nearly $3bn (£1.8bn) on aid and democratic programmes. This year, American troops will join their French allies in the annual parade, to mark 100 years since the US intervened in World War One. It is not every president who can resist a military parade, especially one with a bit of revolutionary fervour thrown in. And two months after sweeping aside France's old political order in his bid for the presidency, who better for Emmanuel Macron to invite to his first Bastille Day parade than another political revolutionary from across the Atlantic? Especially as this year's parade comes with the added benefit of refocusing attention away from their current personal and political squabbles on to a time when French and American soldiers fought side by side for common values. Solidarity seems harder these days. In fact, few allied leaders have managed to pack so much antagonism into such a short relationship. When the two first met ahead of a Nato summit in May, President Macron treated the US leader to a gripping handshake in front of the cameras, which he then refused to release for several long moments. He was seen as snubbing President Trump again later in the summit, when he appeared to swerve away from Mr Trump's open arms, making the US president wait while he greeted other leaders first. President Trump then announced he was pulling out of a key climate change agreement brokered in Paris, which prompted Mr Macron to release a video, in English, inviting US scientists to come and live France, and parodying the Trump campaign slogan with a call to "Make Our Planet Great Again". Perhaps it is not surprising that things have been difficult between them. Both men see themselves as unconstrained by the old style of established politics, both are keen to portray themselves as strong leaders, and there are real political differences too. Mr Trump openly supported Mr Macron's far-right rival Marine Le Pen during the French presidential election, and allegations over possible Russian influence in both the US and the French elections hang heavily over this visit. Nevertheless, at times, they almost seemed to be enjoying their little PR feud. "It is high time to finish with the juvenile rivalry of handshakes," said an editorial in Le Monde last month. Mr Macron may have "stolen the American president's monopoly on being unpredictable…. [but he] wants to become the European leader of the international political scene. To achieve this, he'll have to go beyond images and symbols." Mr Macron is good at flattering world leaders, and he has made more of an effort recently to woo Mr Trump. The young, inexperienced French president has been keen to increase France's influence on the world stage - and boost his standing at home, where political loyalties are still divided. The secretary-general of the Socialist Party, Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, told a French newspaper that Mr Macron was "looking for the company of the world's big leaders" because he needed to "legitimise his victory", having secured less than a quarter of the vote in the first round of France's presidential election. Having already hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin at Versailles, Mr Macron will now treat his American counterpart to an old-fashioned display of pomp and military might. Mr Trump's acceptance of the invitation is a chance for him, also, to showcase transatlantic ties and highlight the shared challenges nestled alongside the two countries' disagreements: the conflict in Syria, the military alliance, and the fight against terrorism. Friday's commemorations will be a poignant reminder of the terrorist threat here, marking one year since France's last major attack, in Nice. Eighty-six people were killed in that attack, when a Tunisian-born man drove through crowds gathered to watch Bastille Day fireworks on the Promenade des Anglais. President Macron is due to fly down to Nice later on Friday to take part in the commemorations there. Security around the event in Paris has been boosted this year, with Mr Trump's attendance adding an extra dimension to preparations in the capital. It is a visit showcasing the many sides to Franco-American links: past victors, future allies, current targets. Richard Loach performed CPR on Phil Nunnerley, 69, who had a suspected heart attack on a bus after the match against Fiji at Twickenham last Friday. Mr Nunnerley launched a social media campaign to try to track his saviour down. He only knew he was wearing a Gloucester Rugby shirt. The men have now spoken. Dr Loach, a GP on the Isle of Wight who used to live in Gloucester, got in touch with Mr Nunnerley after reading about his story in a BBC News website article. He said: "Phil's a very lucky man. It was so great to see him looking so well on that short video [in the BBC story]. "I've spoken to him and he sounds so great. My wife and I were both involved and we were so chuffed to see him so well." Dr Loach said he and his wife realised Mr Nunnerley was ill while they were travelling on the bus. "We were just minding our own business and we heard someone say 'stop the bus'. "He didn't look very well. I had seen it before. We thought we'd better help out." Dr Loach said Mr Nunnerley, from West Harptree in North Somerset, had no pulse when they started carrying out mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest depressions. Four paramedics then continued to treat him when the bus got to the park and ride. "Normally the outcome is not usually so good. I'm sure anyone else would have done exactly the same," said Dr Loach. Mr Nunnerley said he is planning to meet soon to say thank you in person. 11 October 2016 Last updated at 17:53 BST BBC Africa looks at why the demonstrations have escalated. Video journalist: Christian Parkinson Officers were called to Sydenham Hill on Friday evening and the paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said officers also found a firearm nearby but he would not comment on the nature of the man's injuries. He added that no-one had been arrested and a post-mortem examination will take place in due course. The 35-year-old left his role as player-assistant manager of National League South's Truro City by mutual consent last December. Fallon, who scored six goals in 23 New Zealand appearances, has not played a competitive match since March 2016. The signing completes player-manager Kevin Nicholson's search for a striker. Fallon has had spells at a number of English clubs including Ipswich, Swansea and Swindon having started at Barnsley in 2000. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The minister, Alexandre de Moraes, is one of Mr Temer's closest allies. He replaces Judge Teori Zavascki, who died in a plane crash last month. There have been calls for a less politically sensitive nomination, as many senior politicians are facing charges in the corruption scandal. Mr Temer said he had chosen Mr Moraes for his "solid academic credentials". The 49-year-old lawyer is a member of the PSDB party, which is part of Mr Temer's governing coalition. He joined the cabinet in May, when Mr Temer replaced President Dilma Rousseff, who was facing impeachment proceedings. Earlier this year, Mr Moraes had to deal with his most serious crisis since taking office, when more than 100 prisoners were killed by fellow inmates in a series of prison riots. He announced a plan to set up police intelligence units and increase cooperation with neighbouring countries to reduce the power of the gangs that control most Brazilian prisons. Mr Moraes's nomination needs to be ratified by the Senate. He asked for a 30-day leave of absence to prepare for the ratification process. But analysts say the government does not expect the nomination to be rejected, as it has a broad majority in the Senate. Later this month the Supreme Court is due to begin ruling on the extensive evidence gathered during an investigation into corruption at the state oil company, Petrobras. Judge Zavascki had been overseeing the investigation, known as Operation Car Wash. He had prepared a list with the names of dozens politicians who allegedly took bribes from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht to make sure the company won lucrative contracts with Petrobras. Odebrecht has admitted paying $1bn (£800m) in bribes to obtain contracts in 12 different countries. Mr Zavascki was a well-respected judge and the Car Wash investigation gained much credibility when he was appointed to oversee it in the Supreme Court, says the BBC's Daniel Gallas. The plane he was travelling on plunged into the sea in heavy rain near the town of Paraty on 19 January. The opposition said it suspected foul play and called for a thorough investigation. Since Judge Zavascki's death, the Supreme Court has been operating with 10 judges. His role overseeing the corruption probe was allocated last week to Judge Edson Fachin. He was chosen at random from a shortlist of five Supreme Court judges. Leslie Paul, 64, of Clephane Road, north London, committed the offences between 1980 and 1988 at a Lambeth children's home, where his four male victims lived. He was convicted of a string of assaults at Blackfriars Crown Court. Jailing him, Judge John Hillen said Paul used his position, power and charisma to groom and abuse the boys. Paul was last month found guilty of 15 indecent assaults, one count of indecency with a child under 14, and one count of aiding and abetting indecent assault on a boy under 14. He pleaded guilty to one count of making an indecent image of a child on or after 1 January 2005. The court heard that one victim was subjected to "vile group sexual abuse" by Paul and other unidentified men. The judge told him: "If you were not part of a paedophile ring, you were at least knowledgeable about and in contact with a group of paedophile men." Paul had also been jailed for offences against children in 1994 and 2002 - and in 2002 a sentencing judge said he believed Paul had achieved rehabilitation following the historic offences. But the most recent investigation started in October 2012 after a victim came forward with allegations against Paul. An inquiry was launched by detectives from the Met's Operation Trinity and further victims were identified. Det Supt Ang Scott said: "Paul was responsible for the care of his victims; the ultimate position of trust. He used that power to take advantage and commit the most serious of crimes against them." One victim said the abuse he suffered as a teenager ruined his life. He said: "I didn't speak about it until I was contacted by the police in 2014 as I thought nobody would believe what happened to me." But he added: "I can finally start to move on with my life knowing that everyone now believes me."

Some of the 38 local libraries are buying no books or newspapers at all. The £189m Library of Birmingham - which opened in 2013 - is continuing to buy special collection books such as large print, and some non-fiction titles. The city council, which needs to save nearly £113m this financial year, said it was "examining future operating models" for the service. A freeze on buying books is not a blanket policy, the authority said, and "it would examine requests for new purchases on a case-by-case basis". But because of the savings the council has to make across all departments, there was now a "pause on the book fund". In February, the Library of Birmingham's opening hours were cut by nearly half - to 40 hours a week - in an attempt to save money. Since then, 26 hours have been added, but there is a limited service in those extra hours. Library user Cathy Houghton said: "They've spent so much money on the new Library of Birmingham - this is the outcome. "Not being able to order any books at all is ridiculous. We should be trying to encourage young children to read, this is just off-putting". "BOOKS REQUIRED" - that is in big bold letters at the top of a poster put up in one of Birmingham's community libraries - it says: "Due to public savings cuts we are no longer purchasing any new books or newspapers. Therefore we're looking for any books published in the last 12 months to be donated to the library. All gratefully received". I haven't been able to find out if any other libraries are doing this - but this one at least really is in a pretty desperate situation. The situation illustrates perfectly the effect of budget cuts on libraries we have heard about before - the main Library of Birmingham had its hours cut - and is only now able to open again into the evening because of the Brasshouse language school taking up residence there. Birmingham City Council argues it'll still be spending £1m on new purchases across its service this year - but it looks like fiction will be the real victim. Penny Holbrook, council cabinet member for skills, learning and culture, said the authority had listened to feedback from residents and library campaigners, but must "prioritise expenditure". "As is well documented, we need to make huge savings across the council. We have been examining several future operating models for community libraries. "However, as we are also reviewing the future operating model for the council as a whole it makes no sense to reorganise the libraries ahead of this. "The reorganisation of the council - Future Council - will go out to consultation during the autumn." She said although they had not "corporately" asked for public donations, some individual libraries had, and she welcomed any support the public wished to give. "However we do not expect the public to make up for cuts to the budget from the government," she said. The leader will call on his party not to lose its nerve. He'll urge them to finish the job they've begun. A vote billed as "crucial" will end in victory for the leadership and defeat for those party activists who want a change of policy. That, at least, is how Team Clegg are presenting Monday's debate on the economy at the Liberal Democrat conference. There's just one problem. The man most people think of when they think about the Lib Dems and the economy is refusing to be part of the plot. Vince Cable, the business secretary and formerly his party's shadow chancellor, will take no part in the debate. He won't speak in it. He may not even vote (although we are assured that he does back his leader's position) Vince Cable believes that this is an unnecessary fight. He thinks that if Nick Clegg really wanted to he could reach a compromise with party activists who are calling for economic policy to be "re-balanced" to "raise employment and growth". In part this is a row about presentation. Nick Clegg fears that his party would let the Tories "hoover up all the credit" for economic recovery if they give the appearance of wanting to change economic policy now. That's why he will declare on Monday that there is "one thing that both George Osborne and Ed Balls want - for us to throw away our economic credibility". He will tell his party conference "Don't do it" Vince Cable, on the other hand, relishes his reputation as the man who warned about the economic crash - the man mocked here as "the sage of Richmond" and described by the prime minister as "a perpetual Jeremiah" after his recent warnings that things may not be as good as some Tories are suggesting they are. There is, though, substance to the argument. The business secretary has long argued that the Treasury is manned by officials obsessed with a hairshirt approach to the economy. He has fought to persuade his coalition colleagues to spend more on infrastructure and to free local councils to borrow more in order to build more houses. He fears that another housing bubble could lead to an increase in interest rates choking off recovery. He thinks policy makers need to be ready for the moment the Bank of England decides to scale back its support for the economy. If monetary policy does less, then fiscal policy - tax and spend - may need to do more. Before the summer Lib Dem MPs debated their economic policy. Vince made his case and lost. One source close to the party leadership claimed there was a vote in which Clegg's position got 55 votes and Cable's just two. No wonder the sage of Richmond doesn't want to play any part in Monday's pre-scripted confrontation between his leader and his party. Update Monday 10am: I am now told that no vote was held after a debate about economic policy at the Lib Dem parliamentary meeting a few weeks ago. However, sources close to both Vince Cable and Nick Clegg agree that the Business Secretary did urge the party to be prepared to relax fiscal policy if the recovery wasn't sustained. Mr Cable is said to have had the support of just one other Lib Dem MP. Mr Clegg persuaded all the others. So, it was 55 versus 2. The PM was speaking in the early hours after formally setting out his aims to EU counterparts in Brussels. He addressed EU leaders for 10 minutes at a summit dominated by the migrant crisis and Greek debt, although his exact speech was not reported. The European Council's Donald Tusk said there was a will to help the UK. However Mr Tusk, who is overseeing the membership negotiations, added that basic values, such as freedom of movement to live and work within the EU, "were not for sale". Detailed discussions would now begin in earnest, he added, with EU leaders next considering the matter in December. Mr Cameron, who wants to reform the UK's membership of the EU before holding an in/out referendum of the British public by the end of 2017, tweeted that "significant progress" had been made in Brussels. The prime minister, who is under pressure from his Conservative backbenchers to deliver a far-reaching and lasting deal, has not set out in full detail what he wants but his key demands include: To get what it wants the UK believes it will need to rewrite treaties agreed by all 28 EU members. Downing Street has said the prime minister remains committed to "proper, full-on treaty change" but it has acknowledged this is unlikely by the end of 2017 since it would trigger referendums in other EU countries as well. The government is understood to be seeking "legally-binding" guarantees by the time of the referendum that EU treaties would be changed at some point in the future. It was during the night's long, acrimonious discussion about Europe's migrant crisis that David Cameron was given time to set out his case. The prime minister's remarks to fellow EU leaders were brief and will not have been a surprise. He had spoken to each of them in the weeks leading up to this summit - explaining why Britain will have an in/out referendum by the end of 2017 and sketching out his aims. He has also made it clear Britain could leave the EU if he doesn't get a meaningful deal. For Britain, for Europe, this summit has marked a significant moment - and the start of official renegotiation talks between London and Brussels. The prime minister of Malta said David Cameron "had worked the crowd well" over recent weeks. Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi was broadly supportive too, but said EU leaders had some different ideas to those proposed by Mr Cameron. There remains a big question mark over exactly what the prime minister will be asking for. Aspirations such as new powers for national parliaments, a British exemption from "ever closer union" and efforts to curb EU migration to Britain through welfare changes will be controversial. What does David Cameron want? The BBC's Europe editor Katya Adler said EU leaders accepted treaty change would be needed further down the line to reflect closer integration within the eurozone. "The idea is to use that to get in the British changes as well but that cannot happen before 2017," she said. Estonian prime minister Taavi Roivas told the BBC that treaty change could not be ruled out but a process which required a referendum in every country could pose some "difficulties". "First of all we have to agree what we want to achieve and then we will talk the legal aspects, whether it is treaty change or secondary legislation," he told Radio 4's Today. While the principle of freedom of movement could not be circumscribed in any way, he said EU leaders should be willing to listen to all the UK's ideas, including on benefit restrictions. "I wouldn't draw any red lines just yet. My country men are coming to Britain only to work and to study and are not travelling for benefits so if Britain has this serious concern, we should be open for this discussion." UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the prime minister was "accepting the inevitable" that there would be no treaty change. He said there would be "nothing really fundamental in Britain's renegotiation of its membership". Former Conservative Home Office minister Damian Green, a pro-European MP, said it was "perfectly sensible for the prime minister to leave his options open" to get the results he wanted. But Labour's shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn said Mr Cameron was "signalling retreat while pretending that all he ever wanted was a post-dated cheque". Mr Benn said Mr Cameron had "made a mess" and "should have known what the position of other countries would be". Tory MP Steve Baker, co-founder of Conservatives for Britain, said he and colleagues were "more concerned" about the "substance" of any new relationship between the UK and the EU "rather than the mechanism" which will deliver it. Mercedes-Benz and BMW are among 22 brands that have pulled commercials following the "disturbing" allegations. The New York Times reported on Saturday that settlements of $13m (£10.4m) were reached with five women who accused him of inappropriate behaviour. With four million viewers a night, the O'Reilly show is a ratings juggernaut. Paul Rittenberg, the head of Fox advertising sales, said: "We value our partners and are working with them to address their current concerns about the O'Reilly Factor. "At this time, the ad buys of those clients have been re-expressed into other Fox News Channel programs." On Tuesday night, an advert for Coldwell Banker ran, but the real estate company tweeted afterwards: "We were disappointed that our ad ran on O'Reilly as it wasn't part of our intentional media programming. We pulled future ads from the show." The other companies are GlaxoSmithKline, Hyundai, Constant Contact, UNTUCKit, Sanofi, Allstate, Ainsworth Pet Nutrition/Rachael Ray Nutrish, T. Rowe Price, Mitsubishi, Wayfair, MileIQ, Lexus, Bayer, Esurance, Credit Karma, True Car, The Wonderful Company, Society of Human Resources Management and Orkin. "As a company in which more than two-thirds of our employees are women, we take sexual harassment claims very seriously," UNTUCKit chief executive Aaron Sanandres said in a statement to the BBC. Hyundai said it would remove forthcoming ads from The O'Reilly Factor because of the "recent and disturbing allegations". Mercedes-Benz said it would instead run advertising elsewhere on the 21st Century Fox-owned outlet. One of Mr O'Reilly's accusers is Wendy Walsh, a psychologist who was once a regular guest on The O'Reilly Factor. She accused the host of withdrawing a job offer after she declined his invitation to go with him to his hotel suite after a dinner in 2013. Ms Walsh told CNN on Monday night: "I want to be clear, I'm not after money. I just want a non-toxic work environment for my daughters and their generation." Her lawyer, Lisa Bloom, said Fox News was the "Bill Cosby of corporate America", in reference to the TV entertainer who is facing multiple sex assault claims. The president of the National Organization for Women, Terry O'Neill, called for Mr O'Reilly's dismissal. "Women have the right to go to work without facing harassment. Fox News apparently doesn't get that basic concept," she said. In a statement over the weekend, 21st Century Fox stood by Mr O'Reilly while adding that it "takes matters of workplace behaviour very seriously". In a separate development, a Fox News contributor sued on Monday, alleging sexual harassment by its ousted former chairman, Roger Ailes. Julie Roginsky said she was denied a job after rebuffing sexual advances by Mr Ailes, who founded Rupert Murdoch's TV network. The legal action, filed in New York, states that Mr Ailes had "volunteered the advice that Roginsky should engage in sexual relationships with 'older, married, conservative men' because 'they may stray but they always come back because they're loyal'". "Ailes also remarked that he was loyal but that loyalty was a two-way street. "These comments and their delivery made it clear that Ailes wanted a sexual relationship with Roginsky." Susan Estrich, a lawyer for Mr Ailes, said Ms Roginsky's allegations were "total hogwash". In September, Fox News settled with former on-air host Gretchen Carlson for a reported $20m after she alleged she had also been sexually harassed by Mr Ailes. The network apologised to Ms Carlson for her treatment. The 34-year-old was with the Dons during season 2011/12 before leaving for Plymouth. He had been in Cyprus with AS Omonia Nicosia since January. "I heard about it (Aberdeen's interest) about two weeks ago and as soon as I heard I told my agent to get right on it and to try and make it happen," Arnason told Aberdeen's RedTV. Arnason was part of the Iceland side that defeated England at Euro 2016 and the Malmo team that knocked knocked Celtic out of the Champions League two years ago. His addition brings manager Derek McInnes' summer recruitment tally to six players, with striker Nicky Maynard, winger Gary Mackay-Steven and midfielder Greg Tansey all signing contracts with the Pittodrie club, while attackers Ryan Christie and Greg Stewart have joined on loan. Arnason added: "It's good to be back. I'm very happy to have made this move. It's been a journey and I've learned a lot. "I've gained a lot of experience both in Europe and at club level, so hopefully I can bring something to the table. "It's always good to feel welcomed. It puts a lot more pressure on me to be fair, but hopefully I'll stand tall and do well." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The 62-year-old, who previously coached Tottenham and Real Madrid, had two years remaining on his contract. Club owner Sheikh Avdullah Al-Thani said he "respected" the Spaniard's decision in a post on Twitter published six days before his exit was announced. The La Liga side were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by second-tier Cordoba on 20 December. Some fans called for Ramos' removal after that loss, and in a statement on Malaga's website he bemoaned "tension during recent matches". "Football is susceptible to change and in adverse situations we managers are often the ones who are wronged," he said. "In this specific case, I have decided to remove myself from a situation that was uncomfortable and unsatisfying." Malaga's assistant coach Marcelo Romero will take charge of the team on an "indefinite" basis, the club announced. Malaga are winless in their last five games and sit 11th in the Spanish top flight, which is currently on a winter break. They resume their league campaign at Celta Vigo on 8 January. The Tynecastle outfit are looking at bringing the 22-year-old in on a one-year loan deal. Watt is best known for scoring the winning goal in Celtic's Champions League win over Barcelona in 2012. He had spells at Belgian clubs Lierse and Standard Liege before signing for Charlton, but was subsequently on loan at Cardiff and Blackburn last season. Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson has confirmed German defender Marcel Appiah is training with the squad, ahead of the second leg of their Europa League second qualifying round tie against Maltese side Birkirkara on Thursday. The 28-year-old, who can play at right-back or centre-back, played against Sunderland in a closed-door game at Riccarton on Saturday. Appiah has previously played for German club Arminia Bielefeld but spent the last two years in the Netherlands with NEC Nijmegen. "We have had a few defenders in recently," Neilson said. "We had [Northern Ireland international] Liam Donnelly in last week. We have a German in this week. It's an area we need one more in. "We are still looking to recruit. We are still looking for a striker and we need a wide player as well. I'm really happy with the squad I have at the moment and it's just adding that little bit of quality. If that takes a little bit of time then I'm more than happy to wait." Hearts drew 0-0 in the searing heat of Malta last week and are favourites to progress to the third qualifying round of the Europa League, where they would meet Krasnodar, who finished fourth in the Russian Premier League last season. Neilson is banking on an early goal to settle any nerves at Tynecastle. "That's the hope," he told BBC Scotland. "We almost did it over there when we got a goal chalked off after three minutes. I thought we played really well but just couldn't get the goal." Birkirkara rarely ventured forward at home to Hearts, content to try and hit the visitors on the break, and Neilson expects similar tactics from the Maltese side in the return leg. "I think we need to be patient," he explained. "We need to realise the way they play is very difficult to break down. "With a good pitch and a good crowd behind, I think we have the quality to score goals." Thursday's game will be Hearts' fourth European match this season and Neilson believes it is a much better way to prepare for the long campaign ahead rather than playing meaningless friendly matches. "The key is staying in Europe and continuing to play competitive games," he added. "The difficult thing about Europe starting so early is if you don't make it through the first round, you are then trying to scramble about for pre-season games. The longer you stay in Europe, the games get more competitive and the fitness levels go up." Winger Jamie Walker says the players are also happier playing in Europe at this time of year. "That's been the subject of a lot of talk in the dressing room." said Walker. "You come back early but at least you are not playing pre-season games. It's competitive football and everybody just wants to get through." Mali produced a superb performance to beat Ghana 3-0, brushing aside the 2009 champions who had gone into the game as favourites, having beaten Argentina and won Group B. The Eaglets began strongly and made the breakthrough after 20 minutes when Diadie Samassekou rifled a shot into far corner after exchanging quick passes with Adama Traore. After the break they doubled their advantage through Diedonne Gbakle, who cut in from the right, beating two men before unleashing a thunderous effort that went in off the underside of the bar. With nine minutes of the match remaining, Mali wrapped up a glorious victory when Aboubabacar Doumbia sped clear of the Ghana defence and chipped into the corner. Mali will face either Germany or Nigeria in the quarter-finals. Senegal booked their place in the last-eight thanks to some heroics from goalkeeper Ibrahima Sy. The sides were level 1-1 after extra-time - Sidy Sarr scoring on 83 minutes to cancel out Artem Biesiedin's 77th-minute opener - but Senegal romped to a 3-1 in a penalty shoot-out. Sy, who is on the books of French side L'Orient, saved from Yevhen Chumak, Yevhenii Nemtinov and Valerii Luchevych, while each of Senegal's takers dispatched their kicks. Stewart Elliott said his pale barley and citrus aroma Goat's Milk was "lucky on the day" to beat more than 20 others at the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) organised show. The beer is brewed at Churchend Brewery near Nuneaton, in Warwickshire. The brewery was founded in 1994 and now employs 30 people and supplies two pubs in Stoke Golding and Worcester. More updates on this story Mr Elliott described his champion beer, originally brewed and named for a festival taking place in the Goat pub near Peterborough, as refreshing with a bitter finish. "We're like a lot of small producers I imagine and we like to let it do its own thing.. eight to 10 days before we cask it and it goes out," he said. Nick Boley, Camra's national director responsible for the competition held in London, said: "Goat's Milk is a stand out beer - it has a lovely balance of malts and hops and a full flavour. "It is a very fine example of a bitter and incredibly refreshing." The beer festival, which opened on Tuesday, will see more than 50,000 people visit to sample more than 900 beers, ciders and wines. The Scottish FA has declined to respond to the remarks, which follow a controversial penalty awarded during Aberdeen's 3-1 defeat in Inverness. "It beggars belief how Willie Collum can still be refereeing at the top level of this game," said Stewart. "There's just far too many of the big decisions he gets wrong." Collum, who has been a Scottish top-flight referee since 2005, has Champions League experience and was in charge of last year's Uefa Super Cup final between Barcelona and Seville. The 37-year-old has also been chosen as one of the 18 referees officiating at the Euro 2016 finals in France this summer. However, Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes believes that Collum was "conned" by Caley Thistle's Ross Draper as the midfielder grimaced after he and Ash Taylor stretched for a loose ball inside the penalty box with the scores tied at 1-1. Football pundit Stewart agreed and told BBC Scotland: "I think anybody who was watching that on the television could see instantly that, yes, the two feet were high, but there was no contact. "Ross Draper fell down in an artificial manner because, if he'd been kicked, he would've spun the other way. Media playback is not supported on this device "It goes without saying that Ross Draper needs to be bearing some of the brunt of the criticism, but this isn't a case of a different referee every week - the recurring theme is that it's Willie Collum. "This can't carry on. He completely and utterly ruined the game last night." Aberdeen believed they should have been awarded penalties following later challenges on Graeme Shinnie and Taylor. On the choice of Collum for top games in Scotland and in Europe, Stewart said: "It begs the question for me of - who is making these decisions? "Ultimately, there has got to be a level of accountability here." The SFA does not comment on individual referee performances. However, Collum's performances are marked at each game by referee observers. "Everybody is going to make mistakes, we all accept that, but Willie Collum seems to get penalty kicks, big decisions regularly wrong," added Stewart. The 43-year-old died after the vehicle he was travelling in overturned near the city of Blantyre late on Saturday. Tenthani was well known across Malawi. He also worked for the Associated Press news agency and local newspapers. Malawi's President Peter Mutharika said Tenthani would be remembered "as a man of immense talent... eloquence, humour and warmth". BBC Africa editor Solomon Mugera said: Colleagues across BBC Africa are in deep shock after learning about the passing away of our Malawi reporter Raphael Tenthani. He was a consummate journalist who used his talent to powerfully tell the story of Malawi to the BBC's global audience. "In addition to being humble, patient and generous, colleagues are also unanimous in their admiration of Raphael's enviable writing skills." In 2010, Tenthani won a UN Media Award for his work on the Millennium Development Goals. His funeral is expected later on Monday. The museum wants to revive interest in its specialist areas of art and design, in a project that will include museums in Blackburn and Coventry. The Victoria and Albert Museum will lend them some of its artefacts. Director Tristram Hunt says the museum has a responsibility to "promote design education for the future". The secondary schools project, called DesignLab Nation, is being funded by prize money won by the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) for being the Art Fund Museum of the Year. The museum, which bills itself as "From Bauhaus to Bowie", wants to encourage interest in craft skills, particularly in industrial cities with a long heritage of design and manufacturing. It is responding to worries about a lack of vocational skills and training for industry. The project will begin in the autumn at the V&A in London and in Blackburn and Coventry, with plans to add other cities later, including Sheffield. The intention is to cultivate the skills for local creative industries, in partnerships between museums and schools. Blackburn has a long tradition in textiles and Coventry has design associated with its car industries. The project will coincide with the start of a new design and technology GCSE and will support the revised qualification. Mr Hunt, the former Labour politician who now heads the V&A, said creative industries were among "the UK's greatest national and economic assets". "By bringing together local industry, museums and schools, DesignLab Nation will ensure that the V&A delivers on our founding purpose, to educate and inspire the artists, innovators, designers and creatives of tomorrow," he said. Alice Barnard, chief executive of the Edge Foundation which promotes vocational learning, backed the project's support for "creative and technical innovation". "These skills are becoming increasingly important as the creative sector of the economy grows rapidly," she said. Intel applied for a licence to export tens of thousands of chips to update the Tianhe-2 computer. The Department of Commerce refused, saying it was concerned about nuclear research being done with the machine. Separately, Intel has signed a $200m (£136m) deal with the US government to build a massive supercomputer at one of its national laboratories. The Tianhe-2 uses 80,000 Intel Xeon chips to generate a computational capacity of more than 33 petaflops. A petaflop is equal to about one quadrillion calculations per second. According to the Top 500, an organisation that monitors supercomputers, the Tianhe-2 has been the world's most powerful machine for the past 18 months. This year the Chinese machine was due to undergo a series of upgrades to boost its number-crunching abilities past 110 petaflops. The upgrades would depend largely on new Intel Xeon chips. The chipmaker informed US authorities of its involvement with the upgrade programme and was told to apply for an export licence. In a notice published online the US Department of Commerce said it refused Intel's application to export the chips for Tianhe-2 and three other Chinese supercomputers because the machines were being used for "nuclear explosive activities". The relevant section of US export regulations reveals that this covers technologies used in the "design, development or fabrication" of nuclear weapons. The notice added that the four institutions where the supercomputers would be located were deemed to be "acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States". In a statement given to the IDG news wire, the chipmaker said: "Intel complied with the notification and applied for the licence, which was denied. We are in compliance with the US law." China is now believed to be accelerating its own home-grown chipmaking efforts to boost the power of the four supercomputers and complete the upgrade programme. Although Intel has been denied the chance to sell its Xeon chips to China, the company has signed a large deal to build the Aurora supercomputer at the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. When finished that machine is expected to have a peak performance of 180 petaflops. The 39-year-old had been on the run since National Transitional Council (NTC) forces took the capital, Tripoli, in August. He was caught along with several aides apparently attempting to secure passage to neighbouring Niger, a commander of a Zintan militia told a news conference. Accounts of how Saif al-Islam was captured suggest local fighters were tipped off about his presence near Obari. A spokesman for the Sabha local revolutionary council told Libyan TV station al-Ahrar that local guide Yousif Salih al-Mahdi was approached by Saif al-Islam and his entourage to smuggle them into Niger. The spokesman said the guide instead risked his life and contacted the NTC to tell them of Saif al-Islam's whereabouts. Wisam Dughaly, a fighter from the brigade which says it seized Gaddafi's son, told Free Libya TV: "We got a tip he had been staying there for the last month. "They couldn't get away because we had a good plan," he said, adding Saif al-Islam had been using a 4x4 vehicle, Reuters news agency reported. Ahmed Ammar, one of Saif al-Islam's captors, said his unit of 15 men in three vehicles, acting on the tip-off, had intercepted two cars carrying Saif al-Islam and four others in the desert about 70 km (40 miles) from Obari at about 01:30 (2330 GMT on Friday). The fighters halted the car and asked the identity of the travellers, Mr Ammar told Reuters. The man in charge said he was "Abdelsalam" - "servant of peace". But the fighters quickly recognised him as Saif al-Islam and took him without a fight. The commander of the Zintan militia told the BBC that Saif al-Islam had two Kalashnikovs and a Belgian rifle with him but he had been caught by surprise and did not use them. He said Saif al-Islam was no doubt aware of his father's fate and showed some fear. He asked the fighters to shoot him dead but they refused, the commander added. Saif al-Islam then agreed to be taken to Zintan. 'Taken for trial' Mr Dughaly said Saif al-Islam would be held in Zintan "for safekeeping" until a government is formed and would then be handed over. "He was not hurt and will be taken safely for trial," he said. A Reuters journalist aboard the plane which flew the detainee to Zintan said he was wearing traditional robes and had a thick black beard. His thumb and two fingers were bandaged, an injury he said he had sustained in a Nato air strike a month ago. Saif al-Islam is a prize for local fighters and his treatment will be the subject of intense scrutiny over coming hours and days, following controversy over the capture and subsequent killing of his father. The 23-year-old has scored 32 league goals for the club with whom he started his career, making his debut in 2011. Other than a brief loan spell with Hartlepool in 2016, Harrison has spent his entire senior career at Rovers, helping them to consecutive promotions from the National League to League Two. He netted four times in a game, during a 5-0 win over Northampton, in January. Harrison told the club website: "The fans are the biggest reason behind me signing a new contract. "Last season was very disappointing for me and I didn't get anywhere near the targets I set myself, but this year I'm determined to achieve the goals I set myself." Meanwhile, Rovers have had a double bid for Peterborough's Luke James and Tom Nichols rejected, according to Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony. Rovers declined to comment on the alleged offer, following a post on social media from MacAnthony. The bird, officially known as LF15, is believed to have started its migration to Africa after departing the Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve near Dunkeld. The osprey had returned to the reserve for her second season on 18 March followed by her mate a week later. The male osprey, called LM12, and the chicks are expected to leave soon. Charlotte Fleming, Perthshire ranger for the Scottish Wildlife Trust said: "We haven't seen LF15 since Friday so it's now extremely likely that she has started her long migration south to Africa. "Last year she left the reserve on 7 August, it's possible that blustery winds kept her here slightly longer than usual." "The male LM12 and the three young birds should hang around for a little bit longer before departing, so there is still a good chance to watch ospreys at the reserve this month." The webcam that monitors the ospreys' nest has been viewed more than one million times since their arrival. Speaking three days after seven people were killed in the London Bridge terror attack, he said he was "only sorry that this vindication has come too soon and has involved so much blood being shed". He said authorities must be able to close down mosques where certain extreme versions of Islam are preached. He would also consider internment for terror suspects, he said. Mr Nuttall told supporters "if a new muscular no nonsense approach" replaces "political correctness... then we will have a better chance of preventing another Manchester or indeed another London Bridge in the future". He claimed his party had "set the agenda as before on Brexit and immigration - but we have also marked out new priorities for our country and we've been the one party with the guts to tell it how it is on integration and security too". He hit back against other parties' comments over UKIP's approach, saying he "utterly" rejected the idea that their "integration agenda is in any way Islamophobic or divisive". "It is about bring communities together and ensuring that community cohesion is improved," he said. "And I predict that history will prove that UKIP was ahead of its time in highlighting these issues." Mr Nuttall branded the prime minister "complacent at best" during her time as home secretary, but said his criticisms of her "pale into complete insignificance in comparison to the prospect of Jeremy Corbyn or a Diane Abbott government". Earlier Mr Nuttall told LBC the government should consider extending police powers to detain suspects without charge from 14 to 28 days - powers that were reduced in 2011. He also predicted a possible return to Control Orders, which allowed suspects to be held under what amounted to house arrest. "When MI5 tells us there are 3,000 suspected Jihadis - and another 20,000 just below that - then I think we've got to realise we've got a potential problem," he said. Would-be Jihadis who support or fight for so-called Islamic state should have their passports revoked and never be allowed back into the UK, he said. Asked about his views on internment, Mr Nuttall replied: "I would do anything to ensure British families - British men, women and children are kept safe - that's paramount and I would put that over the human rights of any would-be Jihadi." The UK leader said mosques "preaching hatred" or found to be "promoting the values of Islamic State" have no place in the UK, adding: "And I guarantee that the vast majority of Muslims in this country would agree with me. "Unfortunately there's a tiny number of people within that community, who hate who we are, hate the way we live, hate our democracy and as we've seen on Saturday night - actively want to kill us. They are a cancer and they need to be cut out." The UKIP leader also called for the government to reverse the cuts to police numbers (nearly 20,000), to put 4,000 more people into the border force and 7,000 more prison officers. He says "radicalisation is rife in prisons". Mr Nuttall said he would not be under pressure to step down if he won no seats on Thursday, noting that UKIP was at its "most influential, [when] we didn't have an MP" and Nigel Farage still remained leader. He would not say how many seats he hopes to win, but predicted, "we'll get over the line in a number of seats, but our vote share will go down". Media playback is not supported on this device Hartley, 29, succeeds Harlequins flanker Chris Robshaw, who has been the national side's skipper for four years. The Northampton hooker has had a controversial playing past, having been banned for a total of 54 weeks for gouging, biting and striking. "My rap sheet is well documented and I will get reminded of it daily," Hartley told BBC sports editor Dan Roan. Hartley's longest ban of 26 weeks came in 2007, when he was punished for eye-gouging. He also received an 11-week suspension in 2013 after being sent off for verbally abusing referee Wayne Barnes in the Premiership final. It meant he missed the British and Irish Lions' tour to Australia that year. He also missed last year's World Cup as a direct consequence of a four-week ban for headbutting. Although Hartley said he "always had faith" he would play for England again, he admitted to his "surprise" at being given the captaincy. "I am confident in myself as a player at Test level," he said. "I have captained my club for six years and have learned a lot there. "I sometimes get it wrong, but it has gone well for me at Northampton, too. You need to get yourself at a level to be competitive and confrontational." Asked if he will get it wrong again, Hartley replied: "No, of course not. I have learned from my lessons and it is for me to live with. Now I have to lead by example and answer the critics. I am a motivated person." He added: "I'm well aware of the perception and the reputation that comes with it, but I play my best when I'm on the edge. I just know to not go over the edge." When asked about Hartley's disciplinary record, coach Eddie Jones insisted he was not taking a gamble. "The image of English rugby has been damaged enough," he said. "Our job is to repair the image of English rugby which is by playing really good rugby which produces positive results." Jones insisted he was "not worried" about Hartley's previous offences, adding: "The only risk is to not take a risk. "People mature. We all make mistakes as young people. I made a hell of a lot as a young coach. "If he is an opposition target, then great, because it takes the emphasis away from what the other team needs to do to win. "If they spend half their time baiting Dylan, they are going to be wasting their time." Former England captain Will Carling said he was "excited" by Hartley's appointment. "It is a statement, it is about winning," Carling told BBC Radio 5 Live. "Eddie Jones wants a guy who will go out with an edge, not one who is possibly politically correct and safe. "Winning at rugby or in sport is not about being safe. That is why I like it. Real leadership is about how you act, commit and show passion." He added: "When I was captain, it was about how we started winning games and the mentality to win games. "There is a huge amount of pressure on sportsmen to be role models. Is it more important for a professional sportsman and woman to be a role model or a winner?" Poppi Worthington died in 2012 with a family court judge finding she had been sexually assaulted by her father Paul, who denies any wrongdoing. Cumbria Police allowed evidence to be thrown away, failed to properly investigate abuse claims and sent incorrect information to the coroner. The force said it had "let Poppi down". Key dates in the Poppi Worthington case The 92-page IPCC report is particularly critical of the two lead officers in the case, both of whom have since retired. The IPCC said Det Insp Amanda Sadler, who initially led the investigation, and Det Supt Mike Forrester who took over, had cases to answer for gross misconduct. Det Supt Forrester retired before any action could be taken. Det Insp Sadler was demoted and then left the force. They are criticised for their failure to preserve evidence and failing to properly ascertain Poppi's cause of death from two pathologists who gave conflicting reports. One pathologist said Poppi's injuries provided evidence she had been abused. But police disregarded her report saying she may have "jumped to conclusions" because Det Insp Sadler had told her abuse might be an issue before the post-mortem examination took place. A second pathologist said Poppi's injuries had natural causes. The IPCC criticised Det Insp Sadler for failing to clarify the cause of the death. Mr Worthington, who had been the last person looking after Poppi, was arrested eight months after her death but no charges were brought. Irwin Mitchell solicitors, speaking on behalf of Poppi's mother who cannot be named for legal reasons, said the child's mother was "understandably deeply concerned by the findings of the IPCC". "She has anxiously awaited answers as to what happened to Poppi on that fateful day," the company said. "To learn that the actions of senior investigators within Cumbria Constabulary may have contributed to the agonising delays she has endured has left her deeply and profoundly disappointed and distressed." Cumbria Police's chief constable Jerry Graham said he "unreservedly" accepts the criticisms and is "absolutely clear the investigation fell well short of the expected standard". He said: "I profoundly regret that we let Poppi and her family down and I offer a heartfelt apology for this." A second inquest into Poppi's death is due to resume before the end of June. Her first inquest ended after seven minutes with the cause of death being "unascertained". Photographers have scaled towering eucalyptus trees in Tasmania for a spectacular art project. Rangers took an early lead from the penalty spot, Henderson converting after Steven Notman had been felled. Henderson nodded inches wide and was then denied by a flying stop from Mark Hurst before Elgin finally threatened as Mark Nicolson sent a header from a free-kick against a post. But Henderson sealed the points near the end with a towering header. Media playback is not supported on this device So who are the people shaping that government-led vision? And how are they setting about making a bold declaration become a reality? BBC Sport travelled the country to meet them. Sven-Goran Eriksson After managing the likes of England, Manchester City and Roma, Sven-Goran Eriksson moved to China in 2013 to coach Chinese Super League (CSL) side Guangzhou R&F. He joined Shanghai SIPG a year later. Sitting down in a central Shanghai hotel the night before a CSL match against his old club, he reflects on how the sport has radically grown during his time in the country. "Three years ago it was not like this. The football was OK. But this season it's gone crazy, totally crazy," he says. "One of the reasons for that is the government. The president of the country is pushing for football. Media playback is not supported on this device "So I guess he's very happy to see the league is getting better and better but he wants China, as a national team, to be big, to be better in football." Eriksson is enjoying living and working on football's new frontier. He's also excited by the steady flow of big-name players heading eastwards. Five of the top six global transfers so far this year have involved Chinese sides and the Swede believes more "huge" names will follow their lead in the months ahead. "Even bigger names will come. I think that and the rumours say that," he adds. But can leading footballers, used to living in Europe, be attracted to China solely by the vast financial rewards on offer? Eriksson believes the standard of Chinese football is getting better, with players drawn to play in the CSL for sporting reasons too. "It's absolutely the right time to be in China for football," he says. "I think everybody is happy today who works with football in China. "Three, four or five years ago the big foreign names were not really interested in China - only when they were getting older, on the way down. But now? Even when they are at their peak they are interested in China. "It's an exciting place to be and football is getting bigger and bigger every day." Media playback is not supported on this device Romain Woo The boom in Chinese football is part of a wider aim to develop a thriving sports industry. In downtown Shanghai, the city's upwardly mobile residents are busy shopping at designer boutiques and meeting friends at the artisan coffee shops that populate the area. Nestled in an office above one such establishment is China's leading football agent, Romain Woo. With his designer suit, sharp haircut and minimalist office furniture he represents many aspects of modern China: confident, outward facing and ambitious. After a stint working in Europe with the Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, he now represents 50 of China's leading footballers and coaches through his company Van Hao Sports. And he is convinced the boom in transfer spending by China's top clubs has only just started. "It's going crazy right now, it's really going crazy. We have a saying that the only two players who are not coming to China right now are Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi," he says. "The other names? It's all highly possible. I know most of the big agents in Europe and they are all trying to push their clients to China right now if they're not having a good time in Europe." During the January window China's transfer record was broken three times in 10 days. It culminated in Liverpool being beaten to the signature of Alex Teixeira when he moved from Shakhtar Dontesk to CSL side Jiangsu Suning for a fee of £38.4m. It is not one-way traffic, though, and Chinese players are in demand in Europe. But with the country set on rising to the top of the world game - and with many clubs backed by huge corporations keen to help the government deliver its aims - opportunities for the best domestic players to go abroad are being blocked. "Three of my players got chances to go to FC Copenhagen, to Real Madrid and Chelsea in the past three transfer windows," he says. "The problem is that they are way too important to their clubs here and they don't care about how big the transfer fee is. "Maybe when the contract has expired or at another stage of Chinese football they can go. But now it's a different stage of Chinese football and we want to keep all our best players in the league, together with the foreigners." Cameron Wilson Foreign players are helping to drive interest in football and across China the game is a new fascination. In Nanjing, two hours by high-speed train from Shanghai, sits the home of Jiangsu Suning FC. They are the biggest-spending club in China this year and their fans are anticipating future success as a result. The atmosphere in their stadium on the night of a CSL match against rivals Shanghai Shenhua is intense. More than 50,000 supporters are in full voice, with many waving giant flags or shouting into megaphones. Collectively they form a kaleidoscope of Jiangsu's blue and white colours and the noise doesn't stop for the entire 90 minutes. Watching on is Cameron Wilson. Originally from Dunfermline in Scotland, he moved to China more than a decade ago and has settled in Shanghai with his family. As the founder of the Wild East Football website, which charts the Chinese leagues, he thinks football provides a valuable insight into the changing nature of the country's society. "The best thing about Chinese football is the fan culture - it's magical," he says. "In the past, Chinese football was corrupt and the stadiums were empty. It has been played with these problems but you had fans that love football so much they still wanted to go. "These are people who are on the edge of society and they're not afraid to stick their neck out a bit and be a bit different. "And in that respect you can get a look into the future of China and what kind of country it's going to turn into. "You get to meet the people who are daring to be a bit different and they're taking part in a sub-culture. For me, it's been a huge privilege to see that and be part of it." Ma Chengquan Media playback is not supported on this device Increased fan participation is welcome news to the boss of China's Super League. China's government wants to create a £550bn sports industry in an attempt to diversify its economy. Football is the focal point of that effort. He is eager for clubs to invest in facilities, to have better pitches and to improve their media facilities. But Ma Chengquan has other matters on his mind too. China's President, Xi Jinping, wants the national team to rise from its lowly Fifa world ranking of 81st. And it is mainly through the CSL that China's World Cup dream will be delivered. Ma rarely speaks to the media but, sitting in the boardroom of the CSL headquarters in Beijing, he discusses his recent journey to the UK: "I travelled to London last year to visit the Premier League and [executive chairman] Richard Scudamore told me that England and China have much in common. "We both have a great league, with great clubs. But our national teams do not perform as well as the country would like." One difference between England and China, however, is that there is a collective will amongst CSL owners to deliver the president's demands. This is very much a nation united with one common purpose. Qualifying for a World Cup is the first target. Hosting the tournament, with 2030 in its sights, and then winning football's ultimate prize remain long-term ambitions. To do that, China must build a football culture. There is an appreciation from Ma that China cannot just buy one and that the emphasis must be on producing homegrown talent. "Five years ago I couldn't imagine what's happening right now but we'll definitely see a huge development in the Chinese Super League because we have so much attention from government, private sector and investors," he adds. "Football education and going into schools will be key. We have public support too and that will help build a firm foundation for the future of Chinese football." Tom Byer The small, rural town of Pinggu may be about to enter China's football folklore. Two hours east of Beijing, in the shadow of the Great Wall, sits Jinhai Hu elementary school Its pupils are pioneers. Media playback is not supported on this device They attend one of China's first designated football schools - providing a first glimpse of their president's vision of a footballing future. The unlikely figure forging a new path for the People's Republic is American Tom Byer. Having achieved cult status in Japan after contributing to their football development, he was headhunted by their neighbours to deliver similar results. Byer is working with China's Ministry of Education. He will soon visit 64 cities to promote a series of coaching videos which will be played daily within every classroom in the country. "It was taken from my success of doing TV in Japan," says Byer. "The purpose is to empower children to practise on their own the most meaningful skills and basic techniques of stopping, starting and changing direction." There's also a book, "Football Starts At Home", which emphasises the need for parents to encourage their children to develop control of the football from an early age. "One of the big things I recommend is focusing on very young kids - below the age of six," he adds. "There are 209 member associations in Fifa. Only eight have won a World Cup. Why are there only a handful of countries that dominate worldwide? "If you study football and understand how development takes place, it's not so much about the coaching as it is the culture. So we need to do a much better job of educating Chinese families and young children. How can they start conditioning them from a very young age on how to manipulate a football?" Byer acknowledges that progress will take time and patience will be needed. "One of the big indicators is not if China qualifies for the World Cup but is it qualifying regularly for the Under 17 Fifa World Cup? Are they qualifying for regional under-16 tournaments? "We need to make sure the culture is set up so it's conducive to football development and also to educate families that kids involved in physical activity do better academically. "You can always hire and fire the best coaches in the world. You can't hire and fire parents. You're stuck with them. So if you understand how important the role that they play is then they are the ones you should be focussing on. "There's no shortcut for producing a strong footballing country or culture. It all starts with the kids. Unless we get it right with the foundation level then it's going to be a very long road for China. "But think on this. There are 100 million children under the age of six in this country. Even if you kind of get it right you have to imagine you'll create some world-class footballers. Mads Davidsen In the end, China's football ambitions will come down to the personal determination of its players to succeed. On the outskirts of Shanghai sits an elite government-owned training complex which houses some of the country's best young talent in swimming, rowing and badminton. It is also the training base for CSL side Shanghai SIPG. On the training pitch a practice game is under way between members of SIPG's youth team, overseen by their Danish coach Mads Davidsen. He moved to China five years ago and also works alongside head coach Sven-Goran Eriksson with the first team. The young players have a focus and intensity to their game, something Davidsen attributes in part to the society they are growing up in. "In Denmark, we have a very nice society. If you don't make it as a pro player you can walk straight into university. In Denmark we often say 'how can we create hunger in paradise?' "I have the exact opposite with Chinese players. There is no paradise. This is their chance in life. I have a group of very hungry players who want to train hard and work hard. "They are here with a mission. They are here because they have to create a career and not only for themselves. "In Chinese culture when you grow up you have to take care of your parents. It's a big responsibility to have. It's up to you. You're the son - you have to take care of your parents." Davidsen doesn't see his time in Chinese football as a stepping stone to a job in Europe. He believes he is well placed to take advantage of football's new frontier given his belief that interest in football will not fade. "As long as the political will is there it's going to stay, 100%," he adds. "The only thing that can change, as I see it, is if the political way changes. "If they suddenly change president or they change direction then of course you never know what will happen. But as long as Xi Jinping has put his name into football then it will continue." Senior officers are encouraging people to go out but to remain vigilant on the first holiday weekend with the national threat level at its highest. Security is being increased at football cup finals at Wembley and Hampden Park and the Great Manchester Run. Police are questioning 11 men over the attack in which 22 people died. Prime Minister Theresa May is chairing an emergency Cobra meeting, having left the G7 in Sicily early. The latest arrests saw two men, aged 20 and 22, detained after officers carried out a controlled explosion to gain entry to an address in the Cheetham Hill area of Manchester in the early hours of Saturday. It came after searches at a separate property in Cheetham Hill and in the Longsight area of the city. The UK threat level was raised from "severe" to "critical" following the attack at Manchester Arena on 22 May. The country's leading counter-terror officer, Met Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, said on Friday that "immense" progress had been made in the investigation into a suspected network linked to suicide bomber Salman Abedi. He said there were still "important" lines of inquiry to pursue but urged the public to "go out as planned and enjoy yourselves". Police had reviewed security at more than 1,300 events across the country and people could be "100% confident" they were doing everything possible to protect them, he added. "Whatever events you are going to - whether you are going shopping or to sporting events or music events, I'd encourage the public to carry on. What they will see is many more police officers - some armed, some unarmed - out there to protect the public," he said. Among the entertainment, sporting and community events taking place is Radio 1's Big Weekend. Newsbeat's Steve Holden explained how security had been stepped up at Europe's biggest free ticketed event, where 25,000 people are expected on Saturday, and on Sunday. There are more police officers, sniffer dogs, and two-stage security in place, with checks at transport hubs as well as "airport-style security" at the venue. "The advice is not to bring big bags, things like umbrellas and big coats," he said. "People in Hull are still excited to come - we spoke to lots of people who were gutted they were working this weekend or that they didn't get tickets. "Saying that, there was a smattering of people who have been put off." About 1,000 armed police officers have been freed up by a decision to deploy the Army to protect key sites including Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. Policing will also be stepped up at the Aviva Premiership Rugby Final at Twickenham and the football play-offs at Wembley on Sunday and Monday. Met Police Ch Supt Jon Williams said operations will include both high-profile and covert tactics. "All of this is designed to make the policing approach unpredictable and to make London as hostile an environment as possible to terrorists," he said. He added: "Anyone coming to the FA Cup Final or the other play-off matches over the weekend will see an increase in police numbers in and around the stadium. "At Twickenham, rugby fans will see more armed officers on foot around the stadium." Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning On Sunday, the Great Manchester Run will go ahead with runners and spectators due to turn out in large numbers as the city recovers from the bombing at the concert by the US singer Ariana Grande. Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Ian Hopkins has said the additional armed policing support enabled the event to go ahead. As well as military personnel, Ministry of Defence Police are also being used to support regional forces, with Kent Police confirming that "highly-visible firearms officers are already patrolling key locations". Meanwhile, enhanced policing and security will also be in place at Saturday's Scottish Cup Final at Hampden Park in Glasgow. Supt Mark Hargreaves said: "There is no specific threat against Scotland, or the Scottish Cup Final; however, people should remain calm but vigilant and report anything suspicious to police." Eleven men aged between 18 and 44 - including Abedi's brother Ismail - are in custody on suspicion of terror offences, following arrests in Greater Manchester, Warwickshire and Merseyside. A 44-year-old man was held on Friday evening in the Rusholme area of Manchester, with witnesses reporting seeing armed police surrounding a bus on Oxford Road. Seven children were among those who died. A total of 66 people remain in hospital, with 23 in critical care. Prime Minister Theresa May is to hold another meeting of the government's Cobra emergency committee later to assess the security situation. The Leythers became the first Championship club to climb back to the elite level since the old franchise system was scrapped and a "three groups of eight" end-of-season set-up was introduced for 2015. Their achievement means one of Hull KR, Huddersfield Giants and Salford Red Devils - three of the four top-flight sides that ended up in the middle tier known as the Qualifiers - will drop out. Rovers or Giants can ensure their spot with victory in Saturday's "shoot-out" between the pair, while the loser will ponder the uncertainty of the Million Pound Game - a tussle between fourth and fifth in the table to decide the remaining Super League place. From a purely sporting perspective, the return of promotion and relegation has given the format a new lease of life in 2016, perhaps outdoing Super League itself for excitement and incident. The quirk of the fixture list to pair Huddersfield and Hull KR in the final game of the campaign has set up a dramatic finale for coaches, fans and players alike. "These games are the reason we play," Rovers half-back Terry Campese told BBC Sport. Campese, who has played State of Origin for New South Wales, for Australia and spent 12 NRL seasons at Canberra, has placed great significance on Saturday's encounter. "The pressure, whoever handles it the best gets through," the 32-year-old added. "It's exciting, nerve-wracking, everything all in one. "It's not like the loser has a repercussion but if you do lose you're in the Million Pound Game, which is a scary thought." While the media will lap up the tense excitement and a neutral audience could be enticed into following the game, there is a darker side to the events that could unfold over the next few weekends. Super League clubs work on Super League budgets, not just in terms of playing staff but behind the scenes from coaching to commercial. Relegation to the Championship, where the financial rewards are much lower, forces clubs to make financial cuts. "There's a lot more behind the scenes," Campese added. "There are a lot of backroom staff that also lose their jobs and it's a lot of money you miss out on. Huddersfield hooker Ryan Hinchcliffe says the end-of-season stakes are huge on a private and professional level. "We've invested a huge amount," he said after Sunday's win against Leeds kept their hopes alive. The 31-year-old had been at NRL side Melbourne Storm for six years, winning premiership and World Club Challenge honours, but opted to bring his family to the other side of the world to play. "This Qualifiers concept is a stressful one and the stress that goes along with it is not a nice thing," he said. Uncertainty is tough for everyone involved, but particularly the import players. Some travel thousands of miles with families in tow to continue their careers in Super League, bedding into British life. "My kids started school over here," Campese said. "They don't grow up with family back home like cousins, aunties, uncles, nan and pops etc. It's a big investment for us. "We want to put our best foot forward, do right by the club that takes a gamble on us." Such distractions have prompted Giants boss Rick Stone to try to shield his players. "Everyone keeps telling you [about relegation]," he told BBC Radio Leeds. "It's hard for the players to get it out of their heads. "They've got a lot of their life invested in what they're doing at the moment, so we've tried to focus on the process rather than worry about the ramifications." The notion of relegation is alien to Australian rugby league audiences, with a "closed-shop" National Rugby League and the most high profile feeder leagues in New South Wales and Queensland existing on the fringes. It makes Saturday's game and the possibility of a one-off match to stay in the division even more significant - even for those who have the experience of playing in the the game's showpiece event in Britain and down under. "I've played Grand Finals, World Club Challenges," Hinchcliffe added. "There's nothing that compares to playing for your contract, playing for your futures. "The pressure of that is big, and if anyone says they've not been feeling any pressure I don't think they're telling the truth." In terms of the table, there is little to statistically separate the teams, with an identical record and only a four-point advantage for Hull KR on points difference. Rovers, hosts on Saturday, have even been bolstered by the return from retirement of veteran prop, multiple Super League winner and former Man of Steel Jamie Peacock, 38, for the tail end of this critical period. His presence, added to Campese's return from injury, has given the Robins hope of staving off the drop. Huddersfield arrive in East Hull having ended Leeds' 100% record in The Qualifiers, bouncing back from a wake-up call defeat by Leigh the previous week. Campese summed up the situation that faces both sides on Saturday lunchtime: "Everyone knows that if we win we're safe, if we don't we're playing again the following week. "We have to worry about what is in our hands and work on what we can." Dozens of people, including construction workers and restaurant staff, reported being fired after staying at home on Thursday. The protest aimed to highlight the contribution of immigrants in the US. One employer told CNN his staff would have to "pay the price" of standing up for what they believed in. Jim Serowski, of JVS Masonry in Commerce City, Colorado, said he had no regrets after sacking about 30 bricklayers. "They were warned, 'if you do this you're hurting the company, and if you go against the team you're not a member of the team'," he was quoted as saying. The exact number of workers fired is not clear, however US outlets reported a series of sackings. Among those who said they had lost their jobs were 12 restaurant workers in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who spoke to Fox News and 18 employees at a commercial painting company in Nolensville, Tennessee, according to NBC. Businesses and schools across the US faced widespread disruption on Thursday as workers and students took part in a strike over President Donald Trump's hard-line stance on immigration. In a news conference last week, Mr Trump said he would publish a new executive order after the US courts stymied his previous attempt to bar the entry of immigrants from seven mostly Muslim countries. The Associated Press quoted a senior administration official on Monday as saying the new order would target people from the same countries - Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and Libya. Rallies took place in various US cities, including New York's Times Square, over the weekend to support Muslim Americans and to protest against Mr Trump's policies. In Boston, hundreds of scientists took to the streets on Sunday over the president's approach to issues such as climate change. Thousands of people are expected to attend further demonstrations on Monday to coincide with the US Presidents' Day holiday, with Mr Trump expected to return to Washington from his Mar-a-Lago beach retreat in Florida. Police said a "scruffy" white man in his 40s approached the girl on Love Lane at 15:30 BST on Friday, close to Trinity School. Officers said they were "keeping an open mind" about a possible link with the attempted abduction of an eight-year-old girl on Tuesday. The girl was cycling on Owen Road when a woman in a car grabbed her arm. Thames Valley Police have said there were "extra patrols" in the area.

Communication with the craft as it passed over Australia was achieved again on Thursday, but not all of the commands prompted a response. Phobos-Grunt was launched two weeks ago on a mission to visit one of Mars' moons, but became stuck in Earth orbit. Engineers still hope to fix the probe and get the mission under way. But first they need to be able to talk with it. Europe's 15m dish in Perth was the first to successfully make contact with the spacecraft in a fortnight of trying by tracking stations around the globe. Esa modified the big antenna to widen its beam, and also reduced the power of the transmission to match the type of X-band signal Phobos-Grunt would have expected to receive nearer the Red Planet. On Wednesday (Western Australia), those modifications prompted the probe to switch on its transmitter and send down some basic telemetry. On Thursday, a further five efforts were made to contact the spacecraft, with the first at 0420 local time (2020 GMT, Wednesday) also initiating a stream of data from Phobos-Grunt. But the next four passes saw nothing come back down. "The first Perth pass worked in both directions and even this time the signal strength was better than on the previous night, most likely because we had better pointing data," explained Dr Manfred Warhaut from Esa's European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany. "We've had some [information] we've now passed to the Russians. So, a glimpse of hope, but all this is a very, very challenging task," he told BBC News. Phobos-Grunt moves very fast across the sky, giving an opportunity for communication that lasts little more than five minutes to upload commands and receive telemetry. The situation is now being assessed by engineers at the probe's Russian manufacturer, NPO Lavochkin. Esa says it stands ready to help in any way, and will continue to work with Russian engineers and the Russian space agency (Roscosmos) as they try to diagnose the mission's problems and find a solution. Phobos-Grunt may still have a short window in which to start its journey across space before a change in the alignment of the planets makes the distance to Mars too big to cross. The probe was built to land on the larger of Mars' two moons, Phobos, and scoop up rock to bring back to Earth. Such a venture should yield fascinating new insights into the origin of the 27km-wide object and the planet it circles. The mission is also notable because China's first Mars satellite, Yinghuo-1, has been launched piggy-back on the main Russian spacecraft. Even if the Mars opportunity is lost, if engineers can get the probe working properly it might still be possible to re-task it to visit a new target, such as an asteroid. "Whatever happens, it's important that we at least try to understand what happened in order to avoid such a mishap occuring again in the future," commented Dr Warhaut. "This is why we do all this work."

More attempts have been made by the European Space Agency (Esa) to contact the stricken Russian probe Phobos-Grunt - with partial success.

The Eagles took the lead when defender Scott Dann turned in Wilfried Zaha's low cross. But Palace's lead lasted barely six minutes before Marc Pugh cleverly bought himself space and fired in a precise low shot. And Benik Afobe nodded in the winner after Wayne Hennessey saved Matt Ritchie's shot. Palace manager Alan Pardew threw on new signing Emmanuel Adebayor for his first Premier League appearance since May, but the hosts could not find an equaliser. Marouane Chamakh wasted the best chance when he fired straight at Artur Boruc from Mile Jedinak's cut-back. Palace remain 11th, while Bournemouth move up one place to 15th and are now seven points clear of the Premier League relegation zone. Media playback is not supported on this device Bournemouth were among the league's biggest spenders in the transfer window and eyebrows were raised when the Cherries paid £10m for Wolves striker Benik Afobe. And the striker might have provided those critics with ammunition when he missed a glaring chance midway through the first half, sending a volley across the face of goal from Charlie Daniels' searching cross. But the 22-year-old had scored in his previous two matches and he made it three in a row when he was quickest to follow up the rebound from Hennessey's save - earning the Cherries a first come-from-behind win of the season. "I've come here for a lot of money in some people's eyes," Afobe said. "I need to prove my worth and I can only do that by scoring goals." Pardew's side are crying out for a regular goalscorer like Afobe, having entered this match with just one goal in their last six matches - and that an own goal scored by Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen. And although this match saw a Palace player find the net for the first time since 19 December, it was fitting that it was not a forward, but centre-back Dann - whose tally of four goals this season is four times as many as Palace's strikers have managed between them. The hosts battled tirelessly to end their miserable run, with Wilfried Zaha a constant threat on the left wing - but the fact that his assist for the first goal was his first of the season tells you all you need to know about the effectiveness of Palace's strikers. Manager Pardew must hope that Adebayor is the man to convert those chances - or he faces seeing his side slip down the table. Media playback is not supported on this device Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew was exasperated with referee Mike Jones' failure to send off Adam Smith for hauling back Jordon Mutch just outside the area - the Bournemouth full-back was shown a yellow card. "No one ever gets sent off against us," Pardew said. "No one. You have to commit murder to get sent off against us. "There's an incident tonight, I think if we're a bigger club maybe we get the calls. Since I've been here I've been amazed by some of the decisions I haven't had where at Newcastle I would have got them." Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "We weren't very good first half, but we showed great resilience and we just about deserved it. "It was a high-class goal [from Marc Pugh] and it proved to be a lifeline. Second half we were a lot more fluent and we broke really dangerously through the heart of the pitch. "We believe in Benik and he's doing ever so well for us. We're not the finished article but we're moving in the right direction." Bournemouth host Arsenal on Sunday - with ex-Gunners striker Afobe looking to score for the fourth game in a row - while Crystal Palace visit Swansea on Saturday.

But campaigners say alternative monitoring shows an increase for a second year running. In 2012 the government eased restrictions on landowners, weakening legal protection for the rainforest. Ms Teixeira said 4,848 square kilometres (1,872 square miles) of rainforest were destroyed between August 2013 and July 2014. The figure was down from 5,891 kilometres (2,275 square miles) during the same period a year earlier. But a spokesman for the World Wide Fund for Nature said alternative satellite monitoring systems, not used by the government, in fact suggested an increase in the rate of forest destruction for a second year running. A non-government group, Imazon, which uses satellite pictures to measure deforestation warned last week of a 467% rise in October from the same month a year earlier. But Ms Teixeira said the official estimate was the most accurate: "Anything else is speculation. We have been working hard to end deforestation." She presented the figures just days before the Lima Climate Change Conference, which opens on Monday. They were advertised by a farmer who was selling up in Cambridgeshire. Fenland Animal Rescue's Joshua Flanagan posed as a farmer to get the asking price down from £1,400 to £800, raised by crowdfunding. Farm owner Emma Wallis said there was no need for the centre to go undercover and that they just needed a quick sale ahead of moving home. Danielle Page, a pig lover, spotted the advert and when she was told the price began a Go Fund Me page calling on Fenland Animal Rescue to help her out. "I had to do something to save them," she said. Mr Flanagan agreed to try to find homes for them if funds were raised. Posting the news in online vegan forums Mrs Page raised £500 within 24 hours. Mr Flanagan then managed to negotiate a lower price by posing as a farmer. "The farmer just wanted to sell, he wasn't bothered if they went to slaughter and this was probably less hassle," he said. Miss Wallis, who has run the farm at Soham with her partner Carl Tiley for 11 years, said they needed them to be sold quickly as they could no longer afford to keep the farm and are moving to a house. She said: "I don't know why they felt the need to be so underhand and dishonest. "It wasn't about the money, it was about who could collect them the quickest. "I would love them to have a forever home." The pigs have gone to an animal sanctuary in Essex. Marie Black, 34, from Norwich, denies a total of 26 allegations of abuse including child rape. She has been on trial at Norwich Crown Court for two months with five other women and four men from Norwich and Romford who deny sexual abuse charges. The defence cases began on Tuesday with Ms Black's barrister declining to offer any defence evidence on her behalf. Sarah Elliott, QC, defending Ms Black, said: "I do not seek to put any further evidence before the jury as part of her case." Judge Nicholas Coleman said the jury may take inference from that decision not to call Ms Black to give evidence. Another defendant Jason Adams, 44, a former cleaner at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, denied all sexual offences against five children. But he has admitted four charges of cruelty and ill-treatment. including injuring a child. "I neglected the children. I ill-treated them. I completely acted in the wrong way, frightened them," he told the court. He blamed his actions on working nights, tiredness and temper. The jury has previously heard criticism of social workers and foster carers in the way the children's allegations were recorded. The defendants are Marie Black, 34, from Norwich; Michael Rogers, 53, from Romford, Carol Stadler, 59, Anthony Stadler, 63, Nicola Collins, 36, Andrew Collins, 52, Judith Fuller, 32, Denise Barnes, 34, Kathleen Adams, 84, and Jason Adams, 43, all from Norwich. All deny all the charges they face. The trial continues. I was part of a BBC team who had come to film a report on volcano monitoring. Getting to witness an awakened Etna was about as exciting as it gets for a science correspondent. I just didn’t intend to have quite such a close encounter. The conditions were perfect - blue skies and barely any wind. And as we travelled towards the snow-covered summit, the thunderous booms as Etna spewed magma from its south-east crater reverberated all around. We had come to see a lava flow that had appeared overnight. A giant stream of rock, glowing red, was oozing down the slopes - and we had been taken there by a scientist from Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, who was monitoring its progress. Dozens of tourists had also been brought by Etna’s guides to see the spectacle. The lava was so slow moving it’s not usually considered dangerous, and the fierce heat as the rocks fizzled and crackled preventing anyone from getting too close. But about 20 minutes after arriving, a burst of white steam emerged from the lava – it didn’t make much of a noise or look especially threatening – but the guides started asking people to move. Then, moments later, there was an explosion. The lava had mixed with snow and ice, and boiling rocks and boulders were flung up high into the air. They started to rain down in every direction. Everyone started to run, pelted with the deadly, hot debris. But it was impossible to see – steam from the explosion had caused a whiteout. I fell as I was trying to get away, trying to cover my head. All I could hear was the thud of rocks hitting all around. I truly thought that we were going to die. Somehow, our camerawoman Rachel Price kept on filming – her footage is astonishing. Even when a boiling rock fell into her coat, quickly burning through her clothes and reaching her skin, she kept the camera rolling. Producer Alison Francis, too, was hit by falling debris – her coat was peppered with burns where rocks had struck, and her hat saved her from a more serious strike to the head. Amidst the chaos, the sound of an engine rose, and the driver of the snowcat vehicle that had taken us up the slopes started to beep its horn to help us locate it. Dodging more flying rocks, we got on. A guide screamed in agony from a dislocated shoulder, others were bloody, burned and bruised – but we had all managed to escape. Badly shaken, I spoke to the volcanologist whose work we had been filming. Bleeding from a hit to the head, he told me it was the most dangerous incident he’d ever experienced at Etna, which he’d spent 30 years studying. As we took stock and spoke to the medics who had quickly appeared on the scene, it was astonishing to realise that there were no serious injuries or even deaths. Watching Rachel’s footage back, we can see that we all had an extremely narrow escape. It reminded us just how dangerous these forces of nature can be. Follow @BBC Morelle on Twitter Much of this could, and should, have been avoided if matters had been dealt with when Pietersen and England parted company in February. But instead we had the dreaded confidentiality clause, which allowed the issue to lurk in the background all summer before this week's stream of revelations. Sadly, I don't think the blood-letting is over yet. Graeme Swann has had his say in his newspaper column today, but several of the other people who have been criticised in Pietersen's book - such as Matt Prior, Andy Flower and Stuart Broad - might well be tempted to exercise their right of reply. Media playback is not supported on this device My view, having read the book and listened to Pietersen's interviews this week, is that the opinions on both sides of the debate will simply be entrenched further. Those who consider him to be a misunderstood genius that everyone was out to get will feel they are justified. And those who felt he wanted the world to revolve around him, that everything should be done on his own terms, will find plenty of material to back up that view, too. Of course, his version of events had to be given but, personally, I would like to have read much more about his great innings, the joy of playing and winning four Ashes series' for England and becoming number one in the world. How did he prepare to face the best bowlers of his time? And what about the development of his team-mates, such as Swann, James Anderson, Alastair Cook and Ian Bell. But that is not on offer. Instead it is a stream of unhappiness, suspicion and accusations. Pietersen seeks an ulterior motive in everything, and usually succeeds in finding one. While I think he has reason to harbour suspicion of some team-mates - and they of him - after the summer of 2012, he believes that people were out to get him from the start. One example would be in 2008 in India, during Pietersen's third Test match as captain. England had lost the previous match and Flower, who was assistant coach, asked his skipper if at any time he would like some help and advice from a former international captain and batsman, he only had to ask it of him. Somehow, Pietersen saw an ulterior motive in this. He viewed it as "a corporate move: deputy CEO Flower has been designated to use a limited amount of empathy with a talented but troubled employee". Actually, it sounds as if he was trying to help, Kevin. After the 'Textgate' affair in 2012, Pietersen probably had good reason to be wary. The recently-leaked briefing document of the ECB illustrates the level to which he was being monitored last winter. But the constant feeling of victimisation throughout his career is harder to justify. He wanted his wife to come out on tour at a different time to everyone else; he wanted to fly home from the West Indies for a few days to be with his family; he wanted to play an Indian Premier League match in between two home Test matches. He must have known deep down that the answer to all of these questions would be no, but he reacted angrily to the inevitable rebuttals and his relationship with Andrew Strauss soured as a result. "Right Straussy, if this is the way you want things to go..." he wrote of his captain after one such incident. On the first page, Pietersen likens himself to a soldier marching to a different step to the rest. But someone does have to get that column of soldiers marching in step, and that someone is the coach. That Flower managed to do so, culminating in the success he achieved, is therefore remarkable. But he will find no credit here. "I'm telling you, I know you are a dreadful coach not by how you won, but how you lost," Pietersen wrote of Flower. The parody Twitter account is clearly the thing that most distressed Pietersen. Initially he seemed happy to play along with it, until he suspected that one or more of his team-mates were involved - not in running the account, as he has suggested, but in contributing information to it. Media playback is not supported on this device It seems as if this, and a general unhappiness - "It's tough being me" - is his justification for the texts he sent to the South Africans. That will not wash with his team-mates and, judging by Strauss's lapse behind the microphone this summer, he is clearly still deeply wounded by it. Those messages remain Pietersen's Achilles heel and that key incident is not clearly explained. I entirely agree with his comments about the bowlers attacking fielders for making mistakes, and have said so for more than a year. It is counter-productive and entirely unnecessary. No one means to misfield, or drop a catch. Pietersen alludes to a bullying culture in the dressing room from a clique containing the bowlers and Prior. If so, that is entirely unhealthy and Pietersen is quite right to highlight it. But then to launch into such a brutal character assassination of Prior throughout the book is surely no better? So scores are settled and wounds reopened. It has been that sort of summer. Maybe when the dust finally settles on this book, Pietersen might consider another in which he addresses all that is missing here. He might by then reflect more happily on his outstanding career that brought such pleasure to so many, and how fortunate he was to have experienced it. Jonathan Agnew was speaking to BBC Sport's Sam Sheringham Admiral Insurance - which has offices in Cardiff, Newport and Swansea - said profits rose to £193m for the six months to June 30 - its highest ever interim results. But its shares fell 7.4%, after it said the UK referendum vote had affected the business. It also warned of extra Brexit risks, including exchange-rate volatility. Government adviser Ramsay Jones tweeted a picture of the long-legged bird perched on top of the famous Number 10 black front door. "Guess what just flew into Number 10", he asked, before confirming it had eventually flown away. Prime Minister David Cameron, who is on a tour of EU capitals, was not in to receive his unexpected guest. But it still took a look inside, Mr Jones reported: According to the RSPB, grey herons are found around "any kind of water" - so the nearby Thames or the Downing Street garden pond might have been its next stop. Previous wildlife appearances in Downing Street include a fox on the morning before the general election. There have also been regular mouse sightings - including during a prime ministerial dinner. On Wednesday, Orange CEO Stephane Richard said he would back out of an agreement with Partner Communications. Campaign groups say Partner is active in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Benjamin Netanyahu criticised what he called Mr Richard's "miserable statement". Partner controls close to 28% of Israel's mobile market and while Orange has a licensing deal with Partner, allowing it to use the Orange brand name, it does not have a controlling stake in the company. On 6 May, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), a Paris-based NGO, said: "Partner is building infrastructure on confiscated Palestinian land and offers services to settlers and the Israeli army." Jewish settlements on occupied territory are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. Neither Israel nor Partner commented on the FIDH report. The BDS campaign group - that Israel says works to "delegitimise" the state of Israel - had also previously called on Orange to sever its ties with Partner. At a conference in Cairo on Wednesday, Mr Richard said: "I am ready to abandon this [partnership] tomorrow morning but the point is that I want to secure the legal risk for the company. "I want to terminate this, once again, but I don't want to expose Orange to a level of risk and of penalties that could be really sizable for the company." Mr Richard said the decision was made because of Orange's ties to Arab countries. "I know that it is a sensitive issue here in Egypt, but not only in Egypt," he said. "We want to be one of the trustful partners of all Arab countries." Mr Richard did not directly cite allegations made by the FIDH and BDS groups. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, called for the French government - that has a 13.45% stake in Orange - to act. "I call on the French government to distance itself publicly from the miserable statement and the miserable action of a company that is partially owned by the government of France," he said. "Simultaneously, I call on our friends to say in a clear and loud voice that they object to any kind of boycott against the Jewish state." The culture minister, Miri Regev, called for Mr Richard to be fired, and the deputy foreign minister, Tzippi Hotovely, in a letter, asked him to clarify his comments. She said she wanted Mr Richard "to refrain from being party to the industry of lies which unfairly targets Israel". Throughout Israel, Orange's signs were covered with Israeli flags on Thursday and the terms #BoycottOrange and #Orange trended on Twitter in Israel. On Thursday, the French company sought to clarify its position, and said it "had not intended, in any way, to engage in a political debate". A statement (in French) said that Orange no longer wanted to maintain licensing agreements in countries in which it was not the actual operator, and that this was the reason it was looking to withdraw from Israel. The money will be used to fund school construction and substance abuse programmes. Coloradans have voted on spending marijuana taxes before, but an excess of tax revenue made by the industry made another vote necessary. Marijuana was legalised in Colorado in 2012. The state collected $73.5m (£47.7m) between January and July 2015. The bill "Proposal BB" determined how to spend $66m of the taxes collected. Voters approved spending $40m on construction of new schools and $12m on drug prevention and addiction programs. A further $14m will be for discretionary spending by lawmakers. If voters had rejected the bill, the excess money would have been returned to taxpayers though a tax credit. Marijuana growers would also have received tax rebates. In two previous bills, voters have also chosen to spend marijuana taxes on school developments. 22-year-old James signed for Yeovil on Tuesday after her departure from the defunct Notts County Ladies. The former Arsenal and Bristol Academy player has won more than 50 caps for her country. "Yeovil have been great to me and it's great to now have a club sorted," she told BBC Radio Wales Sport. She continued: "I'm hoping that finding a club will help me stay in the squad and the team." Wales boss Jayne Ludlow and assistant Rehanne Skinner will name her side for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers later in the year and James says she was given plenty of support from the pair after Notts County folded. "They [Ludlow and Skinner] put no pressure on me finding a club, they understood the circumstances I was going through. "It was important for me to find a club to get minutes to be in Jayne's mind for the selection of the next squad." James will see some familiar faces at Yeovil, having linked up with Wales internationals Nadia Lawrence, Nia Jones and Sarah Wiltshire at the club. "It was easy for me to settle in. I've only been to a few sessions so far," she added. "The transfer across was good. I know most of the players there from previous clubs and playing with Wales, so it was an easy decision for me to make." The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg wants a change to focus on treatment and not punishment. MPs have been separately discussing why legalising some drugs could outweigh associated health risks. We look at how other countries around the world deal with the issues of drug abuse. Colombia: Small amounts of up to 22 grams are OK for personal consumption. However, selling it remains illegal. You are allowed to grow up to 20 plants for personal use. Costa Rica: It's a bit of a grey area. Cannabis is illegal but there's widespread smoking throughout the country. Police officers do not arrest people carrying enough for personal consumption, yet no amount has been outlined as a minimum for possession. Czech republic: Possession of up to 15 grams for personal use or growing up to five plants is a police caution. Medical use of the drug on prescription has been legal since April 2013. Ecuador: Having a small stash of under 10 grams for personal use is legal. Jamaica: Growing, selling and using cannabis is illegal. However, the government passed a motion in 2013 to decriminalise the drug if a person was found with a small amount. Netherlands: Cannabis products are only sold in "coffee shops" and possession of up to 5 grams for personal use is OK. Other types of sales and transportation are illegal. Norway: In Norway, there is a sliding scale approach to cannabis possession. Less than 15 grams is considered "for personal use" and could see you fined between 1,500-15,000 kroner (£140 - £1,500). Carrying more is considered "dealing" and punished much more harshly, including jail. Peru: Possession of under eight grams is considered legal for personal use. Portugal: It became the first country in the world in 2001 to legalise the use of all drugs, and started treating drug users as sick people, instead of criminals. However, you can be arrested or made to go into rehab if caught several times in possession. Romania: Medical use is legal under certain conditions. Spain: Growing the plant on private property for personal use, and consumption by adults in a private space, is legal. But buying or selling any quantity of cannabis is a criminal offence. Possession and consumption in a public place is illegal and punishable by a fine. Switzerland: Growing up to four plants is legal. But sale or transport is illegal. Uruguay: A law has been passed legalising cannabis but won't into come into effect until 2015. The new law says that buyers must be 18 or older, residents of Uruguay, and must register with the authorities. Authorities will grow the cannabis that can be sold legal. USA: Colorado and Washington state have legalised marijuana for recreational use, while some of the other states permit medical marijuana. UK: It is illegal to possess cannabis. If you need help with problems relating to drug use you can get help from Talk to Frank or visit the Radio 1 Advice pages. Smoking cannabis can make asthma worse, can cause wheezing in people without asthma and can lead to lung cancer. Like tobacco, it's also addictive. If you develop a tolerance and try to stop using cannabis, you may experience withdrawal symptoms like mood changes, cravings, difficulty sleeping or sweating and shaking. Not nice. Regular cannabis use puts you at risk of later developing psychotic illnesses including schizophrenia. If you have a family background of mental illness, you may also have an increased risk. Some people use cannabis to relieve the symptoms of multiple sclerosis or chronic pain. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Media playback is not supported on this device West Brom midfielder Chris Brunt has won 48 caps for Northern Ireland and played in eight of their 10 qualifying games for Euro 2016, but missed out on their squad for the finals through injury after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in March. He is in France as a pundit for BBC Sport. Everyone was pretty calm about it all to be honest. We knew we were in with a good chance once we had kept the score down to 1-0 in Tuesday's defeat by Germany because it would have taken some crazy results for us not to get through. I was not with the squad when it was confirmed a few hours later that we were one of the best fourth-placed teams because I stayed in Paris for the night while they flew back to their training base in Lyon, and I have been back in the UK since Wednesday lunchtime doing more rehab work at West Brom. I have got a grasp of how the format works now that things have been decided but, to be honest, until the Republic of Ireland played Italy, I was completely confused about who we might play next. By the end of that game we knew a victory for the Republic would mean we face the Welsh, and on our message group I think everyone was kind of expecting they would get a winner. You could tell a goal was coming and that obviously meant we were heading back to Paris again. The game against Wales is going to be a fantastic occasion and a decent game as well. It is knockout football now so we have to go for the win, and I am sure we will get it. Media playback is not supported on this device We all said before the tournament started that we are not here to make up the numbers and that we felt we could make a real impact in France - and now we have got a massive chance of progressing even further. Obviously Wales will be saying the same thing, though. They are maybe slight favourites because of the way they performed to win their group, but it was a close game when we drew with them in a friendly in March and I think it will be a tight one again. Media playback is not supported on this device It should be very different to our match against Germany at Parc des Princes, or at least I hope it is - that was very one-sided and was not an easy one for me to watch. However, the boys worked so hard and defended for their lives for the majority of the game, and in goal Michael McGovern was absolutely unbelievable. It was probably one of the best goalkeeping performances I have ever seen from anyone, but I told him afterwards he has actually done something similar before. We are the same age and played for all the Northern Ireland age groups together and I remember us losing 3-0 to Romania in an under-21 game, which might have ended up 15-0 if it wasn't for his saves. I was delighted for him on Tuesday. His contract situation with Hamilton means he is actually in France without having a club and he has done himself no harm at all with any of his performances, but that one really topped it off. Media playback is not supported on this device All the lads came up to congratulate him afterwards and he was clapped into the dressing room which shows what a special performance it was. He did not put any of his old-school dance music on this time, though. I don't think he had energy left. Media playback is not supported on this device I was hanging around after the game waiting for the crowds to clear before I headed back to the city centre, but that took a while because our fans did not want to leave the stadium and were making a lot of noise. You could not actually hear them from our dressing room but some of the lads who had not played were looking to do some fitness work on the pitch and could not go out because the supporters stayed on for so long. They have been fantastic and a real credit to their country. I must admit I have not been singing the 'Will Grigg's on fire' song about our striker myself but, like most people, I cannot get it out of my head. It has been fantastic to hear so many people singing it and even the Germany fans were joining in. I have been recognised by a few of our fans when I have been walking around during the tournament but coming out of the Germany game it was a little bit different because there were so many of them around. Not being able to play in France has been really disappointing but it is good to be involved and it has been a great experience. It has been a special atmosphere at all of our matches and hopefully Saturday will be the same. Over there I am just one of the supporters too - we all want the team to do well, it is just that I am fortunate enough to have a bit more access to the players than they are. Like everyone else, I don't want this to end. I have been back at West Brom since Thursday but I will get back into Paris late on Friday night with another game to look forward to. I know people are saying we are in the easier half of the draw but I have not paid too much attention to that - and neither have the players. We have to go full out to beat Wales because if we take our eye off that then we will end up going home. Chris Brunt was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. A senior CIA officer, George Cave, flew to Tehran, and held two meetings with the interim Deputy Prime Minister, Abbas Emir Entezam, and the Foreign Minister, Ebrahim Yazdi. He passed them a warning, backed by top-secret hard intelligence, that Saddam Hussein in neighbouring Iraq was quietly and methodically preparing to invade Iran. By that stage, the Americans had given up any hope of reversing the revolution and restoring the shah to power. But they still hoped to establish links with the new order in Tehran, encourage moderate elements within the emerging establishment, and above all, to retain Iran as a listening post for monitoring developments across the border in the Soviet Union, the main US preoccupation at the time. None of that was to be. Just two days after Mr Cave's second meeting that October, President Jimmy Carter bowed to irresistible pressure to allow the mortally ill shah to seek treatment in New York for his cancer. Furious demonstrations erupted in Tehran, culminating in the storming of the US embassy on 4 November and the seizing of 61 diplomats and embassy staff, triggering a hostage drama that was to last 444 days and plunge the two countries into an obsessive crisis in relations from which they have yet to emerge, despite the possibilities raised by the nuclear deal agreed on Tuesday. For the Iranian revolutionaries, the US was, and still is, the Great Satan. The same shah whom Washington was now trying to shun had been lifted to power in a 1953 coup engineered by the CIA and the British, displacing the elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, who had had the temerity to nationalise the Iranian oil industry. Throughout the shah's rule, with its trappings of ostentatious megalomania and over-rapid Westernisation, he and his hated and feared secret police, Savak, enjoyed strong US support as he became more and more disconnected from the masses. Just two years before the revolution, President Carter stood at the shah's side on New Year's Eve and said: "Iran, because of the great leadership of the shah, is an island of stability." The embassy seizure was a watershed moment, not only in US-Iranian relations, but also in the course of the Iranian revolution, whose multi-stranded nature was reflected in the variegated make-up of the interim government led by Prime Minister Mehdi Bazargan. Ayatollah Khomeini backed the militant "students" who had taken over the embassy - including, it has been alleged, a certain Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was to become president in 2005. The Bazargan government had no option but to resign as the Islamist trend strengthened its grip. The following year, true to the American warning, Saddam's Iraq invaded western Iran, triggering the 20th Century's longest war. It only ended in 1988 when Ayatollah Khomeini "drank the poisoned chalice", as he put it, and accepted a peace deal. The war provided cover for the Islamists to suppress all domestic competition, including the communists and Mujahideen-e Khalq (People's Mujahideen). As the war ground on, Iran's Islamic militants tried increasingly to export their revolution. In Lebanon, for example, they were instrumental, with their strategic Syrian partners, in setting up the Shia movement Hezbollah after the 1982 Israeli invasion. They were widely seen, and blamed by the Americans, as being behind the deadly bomb attacks on the US embassy and US Marine Corps barracks in Beirut in 1983, and the seizure of American hostages in Lebanon later in the 1980s. Having tried to curry favour with post-shah Iran by tipping Tehran off about the planned Iraqi invasion, the US switched sides and began providing Iraq with intelligence on Iranian troop movements, with the strategic aim of containing the Iranian revolution. But the two sides remained capable of extraordinary pragmatism in their less public dealings. In November 1986, an obscure Lebanese magazine, al-Shiraa, came out with a complicated and incredible tale of American officials turning up in Tehran with arms deliveries to heavily-embargoed Iran in exchange for the freeing of US hostages in Lebanon. It turned out to be true. The US was selling arms to Iran, via Israel of all people, to secure the hostages' freedom. The proceeds were used to fund clandestinely the Contra rebels in Nicaragua. But on the official level, relations remained bitterly hostile, envenomed by such incidents as the shooting-down by the USS Vincennes of an Iranian civilian airliner over the Gulf in 1988, with the loss of 290 lives. The landslide election of the genial moderate Mohammad Khatami as president in 1997, with his talk of a "dialogue among civilisations", finally brought hope of a breakthrough, coinciding as it did with the presidency of Bill Clinton. But Mr Khatami was stymied by hardliners at every step, and the moment was lost. The arrival at the White House of George W Bush in 2001 brought hardliners into the ascendant in the US too. After 9/11, Iran co-operated with the US against their mutual Taliban foes in neighbouring Afghanistan. Khatami was rewarded by having his country dubbed part of the "Axis of Evil" by Mr Bush in January 2002. Later that year, Iran's secret nuclear programme suddenly broke into the limelight, revealed by exiles from the Mujahideen-e Khalq. That provided a chance for what Europe called "constructive engagement" with Iran. British, French and German foreign ministers flew repeatedly to Tehran seeking an enrichment freeze. The Americans held back. Iran did agree in late 2004 to halt enrichment. But once again the hardliners intervened. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected president in 2005, and enrichment resumed the following year. The man then ultimately in charge of Iran's nuclear file, Supreme National Security Council chief Hassan Rouhani, a pragmatic centrist, learned two things from that failed episode and everything that preceded it. Firstly, for it to work, Iran had to engage with the Americans, not just Europe. Secondly, the hard-liners in Tehran had to be on board, or they would wreck any deal. Mr Rouhani had to wait another eight years to try his hand again - two terms for the tough, doctrinaire Mr Ahmadinejad. Mr Rouhani's election as president in 2013, after he advocated a resolution of Iran's nuclear crisis and dialogue with the West, triggered scenes of elation similar to those attending the arrival of Mr Khatami in 1997. Mr Ahmadinejad and his policies had brought the country to its knees. His populist economic moves had bankrupted the public coffers. The resumption of nuclear activity had triggered international sanctions that were biting deeply. On top of that, the slump in world oil prices slashed Iran's oil revenues drastically. The danger of desperate popular upheavals was highlighted by the eruption of implacable revolts in many Arab countries, including Iran's ally Syria. Another outburst in Iran might be less easy to suppress than the "Green Revolution" that followed Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election in 2009. Something had to be done. And Mr Rouhani was the man to do it. All the elements were finally in place for him to come into his own. That it was not just his own work, but was something the system needed, was made clear by the fact that secret talks with the Americans had already started in Oman in 2012, a year before Rouhani's election. In the Middle East, politics is often not just the art of the possible, but of the necessary. In nearly two years of tortuous negotiations, Mr Rouhani and his skilled and charming Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif played a blinder. Above all, they ensured that the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was kept fully engaged and persuaded of the need for the many concessions Iran had to make. This ensured that the deal when it was announced was politically unassailable in Tehran. It was greeted ecstatically by liberals and reformists, and with sullen resignation by hardliners. Everybody agrees that it was "historic", though in different ways. Mr Rouhani himself said it was "a historic deal of which Iranians will be proud for generations". Iran's ally Bashar al-Assad in Syria said it was a "historic turning-point for Iran, the region and the world." For Benyamin Netanyahu in Israel, it was "a stunning historical mistake". Just how far-reaching it will turn out to be, remains to be seen. Potentially, it could mark a strategic sea-change in the affairs of a dramatically turbulent region. That is what Iran's friends hope, and its enemies fear. Although the text of the deal is strictly confined to the nuclear issue, circles on both sides seem to think that it will provide the basis for a gradual warming of US-Iranian ties, and the exploration of co-operation on stabilising the region's many conflicts where Iran is a key player, directly or by proxy, including those in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen. In Iraq, disgruntled Sunnis have for at least a year been referring to "the American-Iranian alliance" because of the convergence of interests there. US jets have several times bombed in support of Shia militias on the ground, where only a few years ago they were kidnapping and killing American soldiers. In Lebanon, Western diplomats have for several years made no secret of the fact that they see Iranian-backed Hezbollah as a stabilising factor, given the more deadly threat they perceive from radical Sunni Islam, especially the self-styled Islamic State. There are many imponderables, and many pitfalls lurking on the road ahead. Hardliners on both sides will be doing their best to derail the deal. Mr Rouhani and Mr Zarif may be hailed as heroes by many in Tehran today, but knives are certainly being sharpened in the background. Like his predecessor in 1988, Ayatollah Khamenei drank his poisoned chalice because he had to, not because he wanted to. He and the hardliners will above all be watching out for the social, cultural and political consequences of opening up to the outside world. Rapid movement should not be expected. Ideally, they would like to give just enough to obtain sanctions relief, but to limit the impact and depth of the move. It should also be borne in mind that the Islamic Republic is not a monolithic power system. It is a collection of vying power circles and trends which sometimes come together, as they have had to for this deal, but are more often sharply at odds. Much power is in the hands of the hardline Revolutionary Guards, whose influence extends not just to politics and Iran's military involvements abroad in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere, but also deep into many parts of the economic system. Will they end up being partners with the US and its allies in a regional drive against IS? Or, as the Saudis and others fear, will they simply use the funds eventually released under the deal to step up their activities abroad? That is only one of many questions that cannot yet be answered. But a lot went into the deal, from both sides. And until further notice, yes, it is historic. The former Sunderland boss, 69, is starting his third spell as national team boss. Galatasaray midfielder Wesley Sneijder scored on the night he won a record 131st cap, while Tottenham striker Vincent Janssen added a late penalty. The Dutch are still third in Group A. Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, Bayern Munich forward Arjen Robben and Spartak Moscow's Quincy Promes also found the net. Only the winners of each group are guaranteed a place at next summer's finals in Russia, with the eight best second-placed sides competing in the play-offs. Sweden are the new leaders in Group A after an injury-time winner from Ola Toivonen saw them beat France 2-1. Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud scored a stunning left-footed strike from 20 yards to put the previous leaders ahead but Jimmy Durmaz equalised and former Sunderland forward Toivonen scored in the 93rd minute from 50 yards after a poor clearance from Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. Sweden have not qualified for the finals since 2006. Cristiano Ronaldo continued his scoring form with two headers as Portugal beat Latvia 3-0 in Riga. The Real Madrid forward, who scored twice in last weekend's Champions League final win, now has 73 goals for his country. Portugal remain in second place in their group, three points behind Switzerland, who won 2-0 in the Faroe Islands thanks to goals from Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka and Stoke winger Xherdan Shaqiri. Belgium remain in control in Group H after a comfortable 2-0 win in Estonia, West Brom forward Nacer Chadli on target, while Gibraltar were minutes away from avoiding defeat for the first time in a competitive fixture until Pieros Sotiriou scored an 87th-minute winner in a 2-1 win for Cyprus. Andorra did get a rare win however - ending a 66-match winless run by beating Hungary 1-0. Marc Rebes scored the only goal with a looping header which caught Hungary goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi out. Andorra's previous, and only other, win in a competitive match was a 1-0 victory over Macedonia in a World Cup qualifier in October 2004. Final del partido, Holanda 5, Luxembourg 0.

When, as expected, the bill is signed by the king, Belgium will become the first country in the world to remove any age limit on the practice. It may be requested by terminally ill children who are in great pain and also have parental consent. Opponents argue children cannot make such a difficult decision. It is 12 years since Belgium legalised euthanasia for adults. In the Netherlands, Belgium's northern neighbour, euthanasia is legal for children over the age of 12, if there is parental consent. Under the Dutch conditions, a patient's request for euthanasia can be fulfilled by a doctor if the request is "voluntary and well-considered" and the patient is suffering unbearably, with no prospect of improvement. One man in the public gallery of Belgium's parliament shouted "murderers" in French when the vote was passed, Reuters news agency reports. Supporters of the legislation argue that in practice the law will affect an extremely small number of children, who would probably be in their teens, the BBC's Duncan Crawford reports from Brussels. The law states a child would have to be terminally ill, face "unbearable physical suffering" and make repeated requests to die - before euthanasia is considered. Parents, doctors and psychiatrists would have to agree before a decision is made. Protesters have lobbied politicians against the changes. Church leaders argued the law is immoral. "The law says adolescents cannot make important decisions on economic or emotional issues, but suddenly they've become able to decide that someone should make them die," Brussels Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard, head of the Catholic Church in Belgium, said at a prayer vigil last week. Some paediatricians have warned vulnerable children could be put at risk and have questioned whether a child can really be expected to make such a difficult choice. Last week 160 Belgian paediatricians signed an open letter against the law, claiming that there was no urgent need for it and that modern medicine is capable of alleviating pain. But opinion polls have suggested broad support for the changes in Belgium, which is mostly Catholic. The homeless charity says most of those facing eviction lived in London. It said data illustrated the chronic shortage of affordable homes, adding that the risk of evictions was being exacerbated by welfare cuts. The government questioned Shelter's figures and said it was "misleading" to suggest that evictions were due to welfare reforms. Shelter's analysis of Ministry of Justice (MOJ) possession claims data revealed 20 areas across the country where it said renters faced the greatest risk of losing their home. All but one was in London or the South East. The data showed possession claims between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2016, the first stage in a court process that can ultimately lead to eviction. The London borough of Enfield topped Shelter's list with 2,314 households - equivalent to one in 23 - having been issued with possession claims. Barking and Dagenham was second with 1,647 households, with Havering, Croydon and Ealing completing the top five. In Luton, one in 28 households in rented homes were at risk of eviction while in Thurrock, Essex, it was one in 34. Latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show rents for private homes in the UK increased by 2.6% in the year to April. In London private rents rose by 3.7% over the same period. Shelter said the volume of people facing eviction who were coming to it for advice was growing. Spokesman Nadeem Khan said: "Every day at Shelter we hear from people who are struggling to keep up with their rent, many in total desperation after the court papers land on their doormat and the threat of being evicted becomes very real." But a government spokesman said: "Evictions can happen for number of different reasons and to suggest that it is due to welfare reform is misleading. "The reality is the latest figures show that all stages of landlord repossessions have gone down compared to the same time last year. We have doubled the housing budget and are investing £8bn to build 400,000 affordable homes, including quality homes for rent." He said Shelter's figures were based on landlord claims and many would not lead to evictions. A spokesperson for the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said: "For too long now, Londoners have been short-changed when it comes to renting in the capital and the mayor is determined to get a grip on the private rented sector. "The mayor will not stand by as thousands of renters suffer high costs and low standards in London. That's why he will make sure thousands of new affordable homes are built to buy and rent, landlord licensing schemes are promoted across London, and rogue landlords will be named and shamed." Krul, 28, was contracted to stay with the Amsterdammers until the end of the season but that move was cut short after just six games. The Netherlands keeper has now moved to Alkmaar until the end of the season. "It's fantastic we can get a keeper of Tim's qualities," AZ director of football affairs Max Huiberts said. Krul's initial move to his native Netherlands was prompted by his recovery from a cruciate ligament injury to gain first-team football at top-tier level following Newcastle's relegation to the Championship. Since making his debut in the Uefa Cup in 2006, the former Den Haag keeper has made 184 appearances in all competitions for Newcastle.

The Auditor General for Wales said there was a long way to go before all of them were "fit for purpose". However, Gillian Body said many pupils and teachers had benefited from a "much improved working environment". The assembly government said it was "implementing the recommendations" and schools should have modern facilities. The auditor general's report, based on an audit in 2008-09, looked at whether investment in school buildings had been managed "to best effect". Ms Body said a lot of work has gone into trying to get the schools estate in Wales "up to scratch". 1. Develop a framework for evaluating the impact of major school building projects 2. Establish clearer suitability criteria for school buildings and facilities 3. Set clearer time scales for the delivery of capital investment programmes 4. Target funding to authorities who take into account opportunities for rationalisation But she said there have been "weaknesses" in the management and evaluation of the capital investment programme for schools and many buildings are still in a poor state. "Recent changes introduced by the assembly government provide a firmer foundation for the future - although it's too soon to evaluate their impact," Ms Body added. The report said that for a number of local authorities, effective planning of investment had been hampered by a "lack of reliable information about the state of school buildings". Planning was also held back by a "reluctance to take decisions on school rationalisation following falls in pupil numbers". Inadequate investment in school buildings and poor maintenance, particularly in the 1980s and most of the 1990s, had left school buildings in poor repair, said the report. While there were now new schools in most parts of Wales, few councils had a clear understanding of how they would "fund the necessary improvements to the remainder of their schools". The assembly government set a target in 2003 for all schools to be "fit for purpose" by 2010 and committed to invest £560m between 2004-05 and 2007-08. The report said the "fit for purpose" objective was only defined in broad terms, resulting in "uncertainty about the quality of school buildings that local authorities should aim to achieve". However, the report said the assembly government's policy of improving school buildings, and the availability of grant funding, had "improved the working environment for large numbers of pupils and teachers across Wales". The assembly government had also introduced changes which had the "potential" to remedy past weaknesses in the planning and management of capital spending in schools. An assembly government spokesperson said: "We are already implementing the recommendations set out by the Wales Audit Office as demonstrated in the transitional capital funding announced, and implementation of the 21st Century schools programme. "It's important that children and young people have the opportunity to learn in modern facilities suitable for a 21st Century curriculum. "The minister has announced £144.8m in new capital projects which will make a real difference to schools across Wales." The money will be used to build schools, improve facilities, meet Welsh-medium provision and develop purpose-built special education needs schools. Three new secondary schools projects, in Bridgend, Cardiff and Penarth in the Vale of Glamorgan, will be funded. The 15th edition of the tournament is being jointly hosted by Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea and begins on 27 October in Melbourne. England will also play Lebanon for the first time, while France are the other team in Pool A. Scotland will face 2013 finalists and co-hosts New Zealand along with Tonga and Samoa in the second pool. There are 14 teams in the competition and three spaces remain up for grabs from this autumn's European qualifying section, which features Wales, Ireland, Spain, Serbia, Italy and Russia. England, who were knocked out in the semi-finals of the last World Cup, launched a bid in June to host the 2021 edition. The Italy keeper, 18, now looks likely to leave the club. Rossoneri chief executive Marco Fassone said the player had made a "definitive decision" not to renew his deal. "We were taken by surprise, as we had hoped Donnarumma would be the goalkeeper taking Milan into the future," he added. "Naturally, the decision leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, but now we have to go forward." Donnarumma - whose contract expires next year - broke into the first team as a 16-year-old and has played almost 70 times since. The player is represented by agent Mino Raiola, who last summer brokered the deal that took Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba to Manchester United for a world-record fee. "Raiola informed us that Donnarumma has made a definitive decision not to renew the contract with Milan," Fassone said. Little is known about critical care delirium, or ICU psychosis, which triggers psychological effects in patients in intensive care. During delirium some patients believe doctors are trying to kill them, they see ghostly figures, suffer hallucinations and anxiety. Most patients recover quickly with the correct help. A recent study found that some 55% of people who survive intensive care treatment go on to develop psychological disorders like depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. Frances, who did not wish to give her surname, was in intensive care in the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast for four weeks following complications during her second heart bypass. She had never heard of critical care delirium. "When I became aware, firstly, I had terrible hallucinations. Other patients were not in their beds, they were in pop-up cars. There were people dressed as ninjas at each side of the bed. "I felt they were going to harm us and we had to be good. Looking back now I believed they were trying to kill us and they did it by injecting your stomach. "On one occasion, I even hid in a cupboard to try and stop them killing me. "When my family came to see me I was begging them to take me home and told them if they didn't take me home I would be killed that night. I started to text people and tell them to come and get me. It was worse for my family knowing I was so unhappy," she said. "It would be reassuring for families to know that it is actually a condition and it's not just happening to you. "You do feel very embarrassed about it and you don't want to bring it up because you feel so embarrassed." A recent study of 157 patients at University College Hospital, in London, found high levels of depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder. Dr George Gardiner, a clinical lead at the Critical Care Network in Belfast, has been studying critical care delirium. He said the condition is not unusual. "The symptoms are caused by the environment and the critical illness suffered. They are upsetting and unsettling for the family and friends who will also see what is going on. It is something we in the intensive care unit have been concentrating on for the last ten years," he said. International research has been focused on trying to improve how to spot the symptoms to treat the condition and the Critical Care Network has developed a number of scoring systems to try and pick it up at the earliest stage in patients. "There are a series of cognitive tests to see if a patient is in the zone of delirium and that is what Frances has been experiencing, a condition called critical care delirium. "There are a number of strategies which can be used to try and normalise the environment. Introducing night and day when that can be done, reducing sedation when possible and freeing patients from the equipment. That's something that we are trying to push forward here in Northern Ireland." Dr Gardiner explained that, by definition, a patient in intensive care has a critical condition and that it is not surprising that the brain starts to malfunction in this way. He understands how patients can begin to slip into delirium. "By the very nature of the monitoring we have to do and the equipment that is needed to support your organ systems night and day it can be difficult to differentiate, there can be noises, there are alarms and there is always a stranger, albeit a nurse in the room with you," he said. "Never the less it is quite common for patients, especially the more critical patients, to lapse into delirium and sometimes it can be quite difficult to pick that up." Dr Gardiner has been involved in trying to reduce the chances of patients suffering from delirium. "The strategy we employ in NI is to have the patient as lightly sedated as possible and move them out of intensive care as soon as possible. We are having good success at this. "We never get the opportunity to let people know that delirium is a common effect of being in critical care and we are looking out for it and we can treat it. Most people will make a good recovery. It might take a bit of time but patients should be assured we are on top of the issue. "We can treat this and people will get back to normal."

Lauren, 16, London The rolled up inflatable is thought to have been taken from a storage container at Branksome Chine Surf Lifesaving Club sometime on Tuesday. The volunteer-run charity bought the £6,500 boat during the summer to be used for beach safety patrols and training for flood rescues. Club captain Phil Nye said he "felt sick" when he heard about the theft. Members of the club have just returned from helping in the aftermath of the floods in Cumbria. Mr Nye said the locked container appeared to have been broken into sometime on Tuesday afternoon, with the Arancia 380 Inshore Rescue Boat, a specialist Tohatsu outboard engine and other safety equipment taken. "I'm exasperated - it seems so pointless to steal from an organisation like ours." He said the specialist nature of the equipment and the branding on the boat would make it difficult for a thief to sell on and he was concerned it would be dumped. Dorset Police confirmed officers were called to the break in on Shore Road, Branskome on Tuesday afternoon and appealed for any information.

Dan Tan, also known as Tan Seet Eng, has been held under indefinite detention since October 2013. But a judge ruled that detention was unlawful as he posed no public threat. Mr Tan, who has said he is innocent, is wanted by several countries including Italy, but Singapore does not have extradition treaties with them. He has been implicated by Interpol in fixing hundreds of sports events, mostly football matches, and is suspected of having fixed matches in Italy's Serie A and Serie B in 2011. It has previously called the 51-year-old "the mastermind and leader of the world's most notorious match-fixing syndicate". Read more: Trailing Dan Tan, Singapore's 'football match-fixing boss' Singapore has a law that allows indefinite detention of suspected criminals without trial. Such detentions are reviewed every year. The Singapore judge, Sundaresh Menon, said that while Mr Tan's alleged acts were "reprehensible and should not be condoned", there was "nothing to suggest" they harmed public safety and peace. "The matches fixed, whether or not successfully, all took place beyond our shores," he said, adding that there was nothing to indicate he worked with overseas crime syndicates or that such activities would be based in Singapore.

Comedy legend Ken Dodd has been knighted for services to entertainment and charity, at the age of 89. Oscar-winning actor Mark Rylance has also received a knighthood. Rylance, who is honoured for services to theatre, won the best supporting actor Oscar earlier this year for Bridge of Spies. He also had a Bafta-winning role as Thomas Cromwell in the 2015 BBC Two mini-series Wolf Hall. Dodd told the BBC he was "very proud and highly tickled" to be knighted. "I'm very proud and I'd like to thank all the people who wished it for me because they're the ones that made it (happen), so thank you very much." Asked if the honour was overdue, he joked: "Oh no - my library books are, but this came as a complete surprise and it's a wonderful feeling." Ray Davies formed The Kinks with his brother Dave in Muswell Hill, north London in 1963. They influenced generations of British bands from The Jam to Blur and Oasis, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Davies admitted he was surprised by the honour, saying: "Initially I felt a mixture of surprise, humility, joy and a bit embarrassed but after thinking about it, I accept this for my family and fans as well as everyone who has inspired me to write." Actress Patricia Routledge has been made a dame for services to theatre and charity. She is perhaps best known for her role as Hyacinth Bucket in the TV sitcom Keeping Up Appearances but has had a prolific career in theatre in the UK and on Broadway. She said she was "very surprised indeed but very pleased that the Honour pertains to theatre". Welsh opera singer Bryn Terfel has been knighted for services to music, saying it was "an immense honour to receive such an accolade". "I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the support and encouragement I have received from the great British public and further afield," he added. "I am truly humbled." War photographer Don McCullin has been knighted for services to photography. The 81-year-old said his knighthood brought "a lot of honour" to his family. "This knighthood is not going to change my life - it can't. I'm too old, I'm too set in my ways. "I have a great respect for life and people. It won't change me. I just feel inwardly warmed by it." Percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie and theatre director Sir Richard Eyre have been made Companions of Honour - a special award for service of conspicuous national importance limited to 65 people at a time. The Times cartoonist Peter Brookes, the Almeida Theatre's artistic director Rupert Goold and retired BBC newsreader Angela Rippon are among those who have been appointed CBEs. Double Oscar-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan has been honoured with an OBE. She was was famously - and jokingly - referred to by Stephen Fry at the Baftas as a dressing like a "bag lady". The 66-year-old said she felt "honoured and humbled to receive such an amazing 'award' for a job that I simply love doing - storytelling through clothes. "Hopefully some of these stories can help to connect, bring enjoyment, or make someone feel they are not alone - and do some good in this difficult world." Former Spice Girl turned fashion designer Victoria Beckham has been honoured with an OBE for services to the fashion industry. Her husband David Beckham was honoured with an OBE 13 years ago. Also being awarded OBEs are artist Patrick Brill, aka Bob and Roberta Smith, and actress Naomie Harris, who plays Moneypenny opposite Daniel Craig's James Bond. They are joined by actors Helen McCrory and Tim Pigott-Smith for their services to drama. TV and stage actors Sharon D Clarke and Clive Rowe are among those awarded MBEs, as is 1960s pop star Marty Wilde - real name Reginald Leonard Smith. Anna Wintour has been honoured for services to fashion. She started her journalism career as an editorial assistant in 1970, when Harper's Bazaar UK merged with Queen to become Harpers & Queen. She moved to New York and became a junior fashion editor at Harper's Bazaar in 1975. After becoming Vogue's first creative director in 1983, she was made editor of the UK edition in 1985. She took over the US edition in 1987 and her no-nonsense style of micro-management earned her the nickname Nuclear Wintour.

Media playback is unsupported on your device 19 September 2015 Last updated at 00:06 BST As Britain struggles to solve its housing shortage crisis, experts have been looking at the best solutions to building new homes. Professor Philip Oldfield and the Sustainable Tall Buildings Design Lab at the University of Nottingham have been trying to predict what new houses will look like in 2050. A specially-commissioned animated film for BBC Inside Out shows a variety of approaches to how our homes might look in 40 years' time. The homes of tomorrow could range from sky-high apartments in vertical villages to flat-pack, pre-fabricated housing and eco homes. Inside Out is broadcast on BBC One on Monday, 21 September at 19:30 BST and nationwide for 30 days thereafter on the iPlayer. The bodies of a man and a woman were found between Salhouse Broad and Wroxham Broad after a search by divers. The boat was found on Saturday tied to a tree, close to Salhouse Little Broad, after police were called because it had not been returned as arranged. Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. The woman's body was found just after 14:00 BST on Sunday while the man's body was found after 16:35 BST. Police said the girl - who was found on the boat unharmed - had been told about the deaths and was being comforted by relatives. Post-mortem examinations are due to be carried out on Monday while formal identification of the bodies has yet to be carried out, police said. Head of the investigation, Det Supt Pete Hornby, said officers were in the early stages of their inquiries "working to establish the sequence of events which led to this evening's tragic outcome". "The motives surrounding the incident remain unclear but at this time we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths," he added. Police said they were called at 17:00 BST on Saturday by a member of the public concerned about the whereabouts of the boat and that it was found shortly afterwards. The girl, who was found on board alone but unharmed, spent Saturday night in protective custody. The craft was taken to Le Boat boatyard in Horning where it continues to be examined by police. A mile-long section of the River Bure between Salhouse and Wroxham broads - closed while police searched the area - has reopened to boating traffic. Democracy Avenue runs parallel to the main ferry port on Aegina. The holiday destination is close to Athens and popular with foreign and Greek tourists alike. Aegina also regularly plays host to Greece's current Prime Minister, Alexis Tsipras, and his Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis. But despite the island's popularity and accessibility, its economy is suffering. A fall in visitors from abroad, put off by the debt crisis, plus the tight restrictions on cash withdrawals affecting Greek residents, have hit Aegina's businesses hard. Room occupancy this summer is just 15%, a spokesman for the island's hotel owners said, down from around 80% in good times. To find out how the situation is affecting day-to-day life on Aegina we spoke to four islanders who run businesses on Democracy Avenue to find out how Greece's financial woes have affected them - and how they plan to vote. 1. Thodoris Miras, 31, bar owner Islanders are relatively isolated and dependent on tourism, says Thodoris. The last five months of negotiations have been hard for local businesses. The capital controls mean that people can't be paid and the business is struggling to buy products it needs. Thodoris will be voting "Yes" as he doesn't want to gamble away his business. No one knows what would happen if it's a "No" vote, he says. 2. Nektaria Kakousi, 41, fruit seller Nektaria says Greek people need to learn to work hard as those that do "always succeed." She's also noticed a difference, particularly in the last two years, and says customers are always watching the bill. She's not worried about the result of the referendum as she believes the result is "already planned". Nektaria says Greece is the most beautiful place in the world and it will never die. 3. Kostas Miras, 83, cafe owner Kostas Miras has owned and worked in his cafe on Democracy Avenue for more than sixty years. The pensioner lived under the Nazi occupation of Greece but he still fears for the future. He believes neither option in the upcoming referendum is good for the country. He believes it would be difficult to go back to the drachma. Kostas will be voting yes as he want to stay in Europe, he says. 4. Yianna Sorou, 52, fishmonger It's an early start for Yianna each morning at a fishmonger's at a market just off Democracy Avenue. It's a business she inherited from her grandfather. The financial crisis has changed the island, she says, as people think twice about the expense of making the trip. She says sales of fish have fallen as Greek people now consider it too expensive, despite it once being "the food of poor people." She believes there is no other choice for Greece but to stay in the eurozone. He is a rich man who wants to be richer, in short; and a Saudi investor seeking influence. Money and influence are the two main reasons that people invest in media, and there's no reason to think Abuljadayel is any different. Like Evgeny Lebedev, the majority owner of the Independent and the London Evening Standard with whom he is now a partner, Abuljadayel inherited his wealth. The 42-year-old Saudi hails from a family with huge international property investments, and I am told he is not a member of the Saudi royal family or government. But in a theocracy where all roads lead back to the House of Saud, the links between Abuljadayel and a monarchy whose reformist noises cannot conceal an appalling record on human rights will now come under the spotlight. I have already been contacted by staff at the Independent - who are on the whole young, internationalist, and liberal in outlook - discomforted by the principle of a Saudi investor. Their concern is naturally over "editorial restrictions as to what we could run". This would be true of any investor, of course. But the Saudi connection will prove especially troublesome to several staff, not least young female writers disgusted by treatment of women in that country. The deal, concluded in June, has been structured to allay concerns about editorial independence. He will have no place on the Board, and guarantees have been written into the Shareholder Agreement. Evgeny Lebedev retains 41%; Justin Byam Shaw, an entrepreneur, will have 26%; and a few other minor shareholders make up the rest. The Independent is known around the world for its coverage of the Middle East, led by Patrick Cockburn, Robert Fisk and Kim Sengupta. It opposed the Iraq War and has been ferocious in its condemnation of the Saudi regime - including during the time that this deal was in the works. Expect a big anti-Saudi story in the next few days to prove the independent credentials of the publication. The Independent newspaper - of which I was editor between June 2013 and its closure last March - was founded by idealists who wanted an upmarket, centrist paper free from editorial interference. Goodness know what they would have made of the modern publication, a left-wing multi-platform digital title, pursuing a viral social media strategy with frequently salacious stories, whose main owners are the son of a former KGB economic attaché and the scion of Saudi property owners. And yet, while the paper - which Rupert Murdoch targeted in a brutal 1990s price war - was bedevilled by financial problems, the website is now profitable and valued at around £100m. That was simply unimaginable even five years ago. Back then, the paper was losing around £17m, and its horror-filled path to profitability was a combination of price rises (including on the sister paper, The I, subsequently sold to Johnston Press) and cost savings across editorial, production and distribution. Full disclosure: I was responsible for delivering some of the latter. Now the distribution costs don't exist, because the bizarre and expensive ritual of printing things on paper, putting it in lorries, and driving it to shops around the country has been eradicated. And unlike, for instance, the Guardian, the Independent retains few of the senior, expensive and highly experienced staff of old. The new staff, while talented and digitally savvy, are on average younger and cheaper too. Many newspaper groups try to ride two horses: both print and digital. The Independent, which has innovation in its DNA - it was the first title to go compact, and launched that brilliant sister title in 2010 - decided to abandon one horse altogether. Other publications will wonder whether the commercial revival of the Independent suggests they should consider following the same strategy. It's not always clear that they should. First of all, the Independent online is a very different beast to the paper, and frequently publishes articles that would never have got close to the print version. Second, the newspaper's circulation was so low towards the end, that its print revenues - while vital - could quickly be supplanted by digital revenue growth. That is not yet true of somewhere like the Guardian, the Financial Times or the Daily Mail, for whom print revenues remain vast. And third, moving to the much lower cost base of a younger editorial staff involves a huge amount of pain - including extensive redundancies - that many titles, and executives, just won't have the stomach for. The huge injection of cash in the Independent will now be used to fund long-promised international expansion, with Urdu and Arab language services being explored. One third of revenues at the title come from the US, where the anti-Trump wave has been a boon. That's why I called him a saviour of the media. Within a few years, the business will be predominantly US-focused. In terms of the short-term needs of ESI Media, the group which The Independent is part of (together with the Standard and television station London Live), this is precious cash for another reason. It used to be the case that the Independent was loss-making, while the Standard was profitable. This was always susceptible to misinterpretation both inside and outside the company, because it wasn't a verdict on the relative quality of the titles: it just so happened that the Standard's business model, in which it had become a free title under the Lebedevs, was successful. No more. The Standard, where George Osborne is editor, now faces terrifying commercial realities. Print display advertising provides almost all of the roughly £70m in revenues at the paper (whose website is much smaller than the Independent). That is likely to fall to around £65m this year - which is why I have been making the point repeatedly here that Osborne's task is as much commercial as editorial. For those who worked at the Independent in its long and proud history, a situation where Russian and Saudi money are used to fund not just international growth at the title, but the ambitions of a Tory ex-Chancellor now installed in the editor's chair of a sister title is, well, a long way from what the founders intended. They could be forgiven a wry smile today. For staff at the title, the initial surprise will give way to a mixture of relief at their new wealth and concern about its origins. On Friday the St George Illawarra second row was named in an initial 58-strong Tonga squad for their forthcoming Asia-Pacific World Cup qualifier against the Cook Islands. Frizell played three Tests for Wales in the 2013 World Cup. Wales team manager Bob Wilson said: "We met with Tyson earlier this year... and he gave a clear commitment to Wales." Wilson added: "On seeing the announcement by Tonga we have been in contact with Tyson to check if this was correct and we are delighted to say that the player remains a Welsh international. "He is a huge talent and his assurances that he is committed to Wales' push towards the 2017 Rugby League World Cup is a great boost to us all." Wales say they have been aware for some time that Frizell is unavailable for this year's European Championship. Wollongong-born Frizell made his debut for Wales against Ireland in 2011 and made two further appearances in the Four Nations tournament the same year. The victim, who uses a walking stick, was punched in the chest and knocked unconscious during the "cowardly" attack. Police are hunting two men who attacked him in Mannamead Road, Plymouth, at 10:45 GMT on 28 January. He was approached by the two men who demanded cash and rifled through his pockets. When he hit one of them with his stick, he was punched in the chest and knocked unconscious as he fell to the ground. The victim was treated by paramedics and is now recovering at home. Det Con Helen Batten said: "This was a cowardly attack on a man with a disability for a small sum of money. The victim was left very shaken by this incident." Read more on this story as it develops throughout the day on our Local Live pages. One offender is described as white, in his mid-30s, with short mousy brown hair and facial stubble. He was wearing a navy blue top and blue jeans. The second man is aged 20 to 30, about 5ft 4in tall, with a slight moustache and possibly bald. He was wearing a cream-coloured fleece and blue jeans. A man, believed to be in his 30s was pronounced dead at about 06:00 BST in Birmingham City Centre. Two others, thought to have been with the man in Fletchers Walk, were also taken to hospital. West Midlands Police warned users of the drug they were "putting their lives at risk". Black Mamba mimics the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive chemical in cannabis. Synthetic forms of the drug are more potent than its naturally-occurring counterpart, increasing the risk of harmful side effects. These can include psychotic episodes, convulsions and organ failure. Black Mamba was among a raft of so-called legal highs which were outlawed when the Psychoactive Substances Act came into effect last year. Web hosting company OVH said it had been attacked by a botnet (zombie army) of hacked devices such as webcams. The previous largest attack was thought to be one on security expert Brian Krebs' website which hit 620Gbps (gigabits per second). That was also thought to be mounted via a botnet of compromised smart devices. It is not known whether the attacks were mounted by the same botnet. Both were so-called distributed denial of service attacks - in which websites are hit by massive amounts of data. They have thrown the spotlight once again on the security of IoT (internet of things) devices. According to a recent report on IoT malware from security firm Symantec, cybercriminals are increasingly looking for vulnerable smart devices - such as TVs, home security systems and webcams. "Cybercriminals are interested in cheap bandwidth to enable bigger attacks. They obtain this by hijacking our devices and stitching together a large web of consumer devices that are easy to infect because they lack sophisticated security," said Nick Shaw from Symantec's Norton division. OVH founder Octave Klaba has been tweeting about the ongoing attack, updating followers on the number of devices that are joining the botnet, which at one point including more than 145,000 devices : "+15,654 new CCTV participated in the DDoS last 48H," his last tweet reads. Mr Krebs' website was offline for nearly a week and, according to Akamai - the security firm that supported the site - the attack was nearly double the size of any previous one it had seen and was "among the biggest assaults the internet has ever witnessed". Dave Larson, chief technology officer at security firm Corero, said that IoT botnets were disrupting the industry. "The tools and devices used to execute the attacks are readily available to just about anyone; combining this with almost complete anonymity creates a recipe to break the internet." MOT tester Sean Reddington was driving the car into a workshop on Ivatt Way, Peterborough, when it was surrounded for about 10 minutes. Elsewhere, Woodston Ponds nature reserve in the city has been shut until Monday because a swarm of honey bees has settled in a tree. It is not known if the two reported swarms are connected. Mr Reddington, who saw the first swarm on Thursday, said: "At first there were just a couple of bees, then suddenly there were thousands. "I made sure the car's air vents were closed. I don't mind bees - just not that many bees." He said the swarm moved on but he did not know to where. Since then, the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire has closed its Woodston Ponds nature reserve on Wharf Road. A spokesman said a swarm of honey bees arrived at about 11:00 BST and settled in a tree. The site was closed for public safety reasons and to ensure the bees were not disturbed before they could be safely removed. The British Beekeepers Association said bees can swarm when a hive is full and some leave to form a new colony. A swarm contains a queen bee and up to 20,000 worker bees. The swarming season is from April to July but the peak is from early May to mid June. Swarms are not dangerous unless disturbed or aggravated - for example if sprayed with water, the association said. Policymakers worried about lower-than-expected inflation as well as slow wage growth in the US economy, the world's largest. The Fed has kept its benchmark interest rate at zero since late 2008, when it slashed rates to boost the economy. Most observers do not expect a rate rise before this summer. "Many participants indicated that their assessment of the balance of risks associated with the timing of the beginning of policy normalization had inclined them toward keeping [rates at zero] for a longer time," the minutes said. Although the US economy has been growing at a healthy rate, sluggish growth abroad combined with slower-than-expected wage increases have made policymakers wary of raising rates and unnecessarily stifling economic growth. During the meeting, officials were concerned about developments abroad, including the war in Ukraine, a slowdown in China's economy and continued negotiations between Greece and its creditors. They were further concerned that markets might be inclined to overreact should the Fed drop language from its statement indicating that it could be "patient" in raising rates, adding to a decision to move at a slower pace. Clive Colling has been missing from Bideford in north Devon since New Year's Day. Police searches involving helicopters and dogs alongside specialist mountain rescue teams from Exmoor and Dartmoor have been looking for nearly a week. Volunteers met at Northam Burrows near Westward Ho! to offer help trying to find Mr Colling, who has dementia. Trevor Tomlinson, who helped organise the search over sixteen areas, said: "He may have just got up in the night and went for a walk and got lost, I've got no idea. "The local community spirit is amazing in this area and I think they all want to try and help." During the day there were reports Mr Colling had been seen in a nearby cafe but it proved to be a false alarm. They ran in five tries to Scotland's one but had to wait until the result of Wales' match against Ireland to find out if they had won the title. Wales's 41-27 win confirmed England as the competition's winners. England can win the Grand Slam when they take on Ireland in their final game in Dublin on 17 March. England U20 coach Tom Williams said: "We have sown up the Six Nations title this evening but we all want the Grand Slam - that is what we set out to achieve at the start of the competition. "Ireland are going to be a real handful next week and it will be a massive game playing for the Grand Slam on St Patrick's Day." That match will take place the day before the senior England side visit Ireland in a bid for their own Grand Slam, after thrashing Scotland 61-21 on Saturday. His time as Motherwell manager came to an end less than a day after the Scottish League Cup defeat by Greenock Morton, but there ought to be no surprise that the club's owner acted with such clarity and decisiveness. Les Hutchison has spent his working life scaling the heights of the business world. He was not immune to the personal cost suffered by Baraclough but it would have caused Hutchison greater disquiet to fail to address what he considered to be the growing problem of players not performing to their potential. Hutchison has a club to revive and his own investment to manage. He was bluntly critical of some of the players and the rebuke would have been a reminder that everybody at Fir Park has a livelihood to maintain. Even so, it is always the manager's office that is cleared out more readily, and cost-effectively, than the dressing room. The majority shareholder's involvement with Motherwell began as an act of philanthropy. The sums involved - at least a high six-figure loan so far - and football's emotional nature deter a remote approach. Hutchison's main home is in Barbados but he keeps in regular contact with club officials while his daughter, Leanne Thomas, was one of three appointments he made to the board. Baraclough took over as manager just before Hutchison completed his takeover, although the new owner was consulted. As the process begins again, Hutchison's involvement will be more directly influential. There is no appetite at Fir Park for radical upheaval. Hutchison identified areas that badly need investment and attention: the non-football revenue streams, the scouting network and the youth academy. All have been addressed. The next manager will have to work within a framework that prioritises signing undervalued players with the potential to be developed and youngsters graduating to the first team. That strategy is the ideal of every club. Motherwell have more pressing concerns, since an underperforming squad needs to be motivated and cajoled into more effective displays in the Scottish Premiership. The candidate will be familiar in many ways, since he will need to fit the same profile as Baraclough. A more commanding personality, or better defined leadership skills, will feature prominently in the search, though. There are good players in the Motherwell squad but Baraclough was unable to motivate strong and consistent performances from them. If there was any resistance to the manager and his methods, then change was inevitable. There is a long-term strategy in place but mediocrity is the first ambition. Motherwell's wage bill and resources would be in-line with a mid-table finish and that will seem welcome right now in the midst of a period of turmoil. Sentiment is another casualty of managerial departures. By the end of the day that Baraclough departed, Motherwell had already received 14 expressions of interest and have now had more than 30 applicants for the role. The club will look to appoint swiftly but not rush the decision. A shortlist was drawn up the last time and at least one of the names on it - Dutchman and former Fir Park player Rob Maaskant - has ambitions to manage in Scotland. He is currently in charge of NAC Breda. Mitchell van der Gaag also featured prominently last year, while other figures to be linked with the job already are Mixu Paatelainen, James Fowler and the club's former manager, Stuart McCall. The search may not need to be expansive. Under-20s coach Stephen Craigan has been put in temporary charge of the first team, having returned to the club in July. Still a favourite of the Motherwell fans, he was caretaker in 2009 before Jim Gannon was appointed. Craigan is close to many of the senior players - who Hutchison insists must play a leading role in the team's revival - and he already has good knowledge of the capabilities within the squad. He watched every game from the stand and was in contact with the bench during games. There is economic logic, too, since he is already on the payroll and has worked with the current assistant manager, Steve Robinson, in the Northern Ireland youth squads. Nothing will seem more urgent to Motherwell fans than the appointment of the next manager. Hutchison will feel the same, but he must also keep in mind the strategy for the coming years. He bought the club's majority shareholding with a view to passing it on to the Well Society and delivering a fan-owned club to the local community. He is due a series of repayments to enable the transfer but has already felt the need to urge more fans to sign up for the Well Society. Without enough backing from the supporters, the organisation will never raise the money required and Hutchison has said that he has no intention of remaining as the club's owner. Financial considerations are paramount for the club, since Motherwell lost money even when finishing second in the top flight. If Hutchison has to invest more, then the Well Society has to raise more. The only alternative to the fans taking control in the original five-year timeframe is the club being sold to somebody else. Hutchison's involvement is based on improving Motherwell's fortunes on and off the field but he has no intention of becoming a benefactor. In the meantime, he has to shape the team's immediate fortunes. Juan Sartori made an offer for the League One club earlier this year and has also been speaking to stadium owner Firoz Kassam. Speaking exclusively to BBC Oxford, he said he got "quite close" to a deal with current club owner Darryl Eales. But he said it was a "personal decision" by Mr Eales not to sell. Mr Sartori said he thought he could have built "a great project" around the club. He said: "The idea was to strengthen the academy, to develop the ground, to work at resolving the real estate issue." Mr Sartori added: "[It was] 100% a decision from Darryl, to continue a little bit more. He thinks he can still give the club a lot of things, to go for the promotion." He said he was "a little bit disappointed" but that he is sure "Darryl will do a great job and take the club further from here". Mr Eales, who has always said publically the club is not for sale, said it was "a personal decision, a judgement call" to break off talks. He added: "It was probably just easier to end the speculation and say 'not right now'." Monaco-based Mr Sartori first expressed an interest in Oxford after watching their home game against Bolton in March. The 36-year-old is the son-in-law of AS Monaco chairman and Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev. Oxford United have been owned by Mr Eales since July 2014 and have won promotion from League Two and made two Wembley appearances in the EFL Trophy final since then. Mr Sartori has met with members of the club's supporters' trust, OxVox, and minority club shareholder Stewart Donald. The legislation will convert EU law into British law. First minister Nicola Sturgeon has described it as a "naked power grab" as it does not immediately return EU powers to devolved administrations. But Scottish Secretary David Mundell has insisted the bill would result in a powers "bonanza" for Holyrood. Now Mr Russell has written to all MSPs seeking support for the Scottish government's position. The repeal bill, published earlier this week, is designed to transpose EU law into British law so the same rules apply on the day of Brexit as the day before, while giving parliaments and assemblies in Westminster, Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff the power to drop or change them in the future. Mr Russell said that Scotland "risks having to fight for powers that should rightfully belong to the Scottish Parliament" because the legislation "contains no promise to protect these". He said: "Scotland will stand the best chance of keeping control of its devolved powers if the Scottish government can act with the full backing of our national Parliament. "The first minister has already called on Members of the Scottish Parliament to join us now, with no equivocation, to back demands for the democratically elected Scottish government to be at the table in the UK's Brexit negotiating strategy. "But we also need to make a stand against the UK government retaining powers that rightfully should come to Scotland once repatriated from the EU." In his letter, Mr Russell highlighted concerns that the bill enables UK-wide frameworks on devolved matters to be "imposed" by the UK government rather than "agreed" with the devolved administrations. He added: "We are also concerned that the scheme in the bill for correcting devolved law is unlikely to be workable in its current form. It creates a complex division of decision-making responsibility that does not reflect the reality of devolution. "In particular, it empowers UK ministers to make changes in devolved policy areas without any involvement of either the Scottish government or the Scottish Parliament. This includes policy areas, such as the Scottish justice system, where the Scottish Parliament has primary responsibility." The UK government said it expected the outcome of the process to be "a significant increase in the decision-making power of each devolved administration". A spokesman added: "We welcome the Scottish and Welsh governments recognising common frameworks may be needed in some areas. Our aim is to establish common frameworks only where they are needed." In a briefing to journalists following the publication of the repeal bill, Scottish Secretary David Mundell said that the return of powers and responsibilities currently exercised by the EU to the UK was a "transitional arrangement" that would allow for the further onward devolution of powers. He said: "This is not a power grab, it is a power bonanza for the Scottish Parliament because after this bill has been implemented the Scottish Parliament will have more powers and responsibilities than it has today." Scottish Liberal Democrat business manager Mike Rumbles described the bill as a "huge executive power grab" and said his party would work with others to protect devolution. He added: "It is essential that the Scottish government and the Scottish Parliament have a central role in devolved policy areas and that any powers repatriated from the EU in these areas come to Scotland." On Thursday, the first minister met Michel Barnier, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, in Brussels. Ms Sturgeon wants membership of the European single market and the customs union to be at the heart of Brexit 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. It has pledged to "consult" with the UK's devolved administrations during the Brexit process. The true identity of the woman in the song Common People, by the British band Pulp, has remained a mystery for years. But one Greek newspaper thinks it has worked out her identity - it says she is the wife of the Greek finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis. Danae Stratou certainly seems to match many of the criteria - and, in an interview with the BBC, her husband came closer to clearing up the mystery. Pulp's hit song was released in May 1995 and went in at number two in the British charts. The song's opening lines are: "She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge. She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College, that's where I caught her eye." She goes on to say she wants to "live like common people". The Athens Voice newspaper says the rumours Ms Stratou was the subject of the song were "an urban legend", although it appears it is the first time they have been aired publicly. She studied at St Martin's College, an arts college in London, between 1983 and 1988. Jarvis Cocker, the lead singer of Pulp, took a film studies course at the same college from 1988 to 1991. One of the song's lyrics says: "She told me that her Dad was loaded." And Ms Stratou's father certainly was - her paternal grandfather ran Peiraki-Patraiki, which at one point was Greece's largest textiles company and one of the country's biggest employers. Ms Stratou herself has not yet commented, nor has Mr Cocker. But Mr Varoufakis - who became finance minister when the Syriza party won the Greek elections in January - has shed a little more light on the rumours. In an interview with BBC World News Mr Varoufakis said: "Well, I wouldn't have known her back then. "But I do know that she was the only Greek student of sculpture at St Martin's College at that time. And, from personal experience, she is a very fascinating person." There is one other candidate - the Cypriot artist, Katerina Kana. In an 2012 interview, she told a Greek magazine she was the one who told Jarvis Cocker she wanted to live like common people. Crewe Alexandra target Devitt, 25, has signed a two-year deal, having spent 18 months at the Globe Arena. Lambe, also 25, turned down a new contract with Mansfield to move to Brunton Park on a one-year deal. He joined the Stags in September 2014 following spells in Canada and Sweden, making 73 appearances for the club. "Reggie had more financially lucrative offers, but he's chosen to come here," head of recruitment Lee Dykes told Carlisle's website. "People like Reggie can unlock doors for you in difficult situations. We'll be able to play him in a number of positions. He's a wide player who can come in off the line, or go down it, and he's good with both feet." Former Hull City young player of the year Devitt made 98 appearances for Morecambe, scoring 12 goals, seven of which came last season, his best in any campaign since 2009. The Irishman held talks with Alex boss Steve Davis, who had hoped to make him his second signing of the summer, but he opted for Cumbria instead. "Jamie played a big part in three of the four goals we conceded against Morecambe," said Dykes. "He was one of the most effective players we faced." Libya began their campaign with a 5-1 win in Tunis against Seychelles in Group E. The match had been switched from Libya to Tunisia for security reasons. In the first qualifier for Cameroon 2019, Madagascar were 3-1 winners away to Sudan in Al-Obeid. Libya's dominance over Seychelles began in the 23rd minute as Anis Mohamed Saltou fired the Mediterranean Knights ahead. Ahmad Benal added the second from the penalty spot four minutes later with Hamdou El Houni (pictured) scoring the third on the stroke of half-time. Mohamed Zubya scored the fourth after 66th minutes and Muaid Ellafi made it five towards the end. Leroy Coralie scored a late consolation goal for Seychelles. Nigeria will host South Africa in the other Group E game in Uyo later on Staurday. Madagascar kicked off the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign with a 3-1 win over Sudan in Al-Obeid as France-based Faneva Andriatsima bagged a brace. Andriatsima opened the scoring for the Islanders when he broke into the heart of defence to rifle home from close range in the 15th minute. Carolus Andriamahitsinoro won and scored a penalty to double the lead in the 62nd minute. Atahir pulled one back for the home side nine minutes later, but Andriatsima completed his brace with six minutes left to seal a comfortable away win. Hundreds of Senegalese were killed in a local separatist conflict in the southern region of Casamance, but violence has waned since a 2014 ceasefire. The country's stability has allowed it to send peacekeeping troops to DR Congo, Liberia and Kosovo. Slaves, ivory and gold were exported from the coast during the 17th and 18th centuries and now the economy is based mainly on agriculture. The money sent home by Senegalese living abroad is a key source of revenue.

During his time in office, the separatist conflict in the southern Casamance region has waned, and in 2014 rebel leader Salif Sadio declared a unilateral ceasefire. Mr Sall proposed reducing the presidential term from seven years to five, saying he wanted to set an example within Africa, where many leaders cling to power beyond their allotted term. The proposal won approval in a March 2016 referendum but will only be implemented after Mr Sall's term. Senegal has a lively political scene, with parties competing across ethnic, religious and ideological lines. Senegal has traditionally enjoyed one of the most unrestricted press climates in the region. But Reporters Without Borders warned media freedom faced threats before the 2012 elections when there were "physical attacks on news media, jamming of radio broadcasts, abusive prosecutions and the jailing of journalists". Laws that ban reports that discredit the state, incite disorder or spread "false news" have encouraged self-censorship. The private media, however, is often critical of the government. Some key dates in Senegal's history: 8th century - Present-day Senegal is part of the Kingdom of Ghana. 1677 - French take over island of Goree from the Dutch, the start of nearly 300 years of French oversight. 1756-63 - Seven Years' War: Britain takes over French posts in Senegal, forms colony of Senegambia. France regains its holdings during American Revolutionary War of 1775-83. 1960 - Senegal becomes an independent country. 2000 - Opposition leader Abdoulaye Wade wins second round of presidential elections, ending 40 years of Socialist Party rule. 2004 - Casamance Movement of Democratic Forces and government sign pact aimed at ending secessionist struggle in the southern province of Casamance. But violence continues until rebel leader Salif Sadio declares a unilateral ceasefire in 2014. 2012 - Macky Sall wins presidential elections and his coalition wins the parliamentary elections. MPs abolish the upper house, the Senate, and the post of vice president in an effort to save money for flood relief. Critics say the aim is to weaken the opposition. Set in New England in 1630, The Witch follows a Yorkshire family's struggles on a remote plot of land on the fringes of a dark forest. As if eking out a existence in the wilderness of a strange new world is not bad enough, the household finds itself under attack in disturbing events. Crops mysteriously fail, livestock turn nasty, a child vanishes and another appears to be possessed by an evil spirit. East Kilbride-born Dickie reckons she was more than ready for the film's unsettling subject matter - thanks to her bedtime reading. "My generation grew up with the Grimm fairytales. When I first read the script for The Witch, it felt like reading a Grimm fairytale," she says. "I also grew up with Burns' Tam O'Shanter and the Scottish tradition of storytelling, so I felt quite an affinity with the film's story because I was fascinated with such stories when I was wee. "These stories wouldn't make you scream out loud, it was more screaming on the inside because the tales were so sinister and unsettling." Dickie, who played the paranoid, eerie castle-dwelling matriarch Lysa Arryn in TV fantasy drama series Game of Thrones, is mother-of-five Katherine in The Witch. Her on-screen husband is a farmer from Yorkshire played by Ralph Ineson, who has also appeared in Game of Thrones but is probably best-known as Finchy in comedy series The Office. "My character, Katherine, is at a real crossroads in her life," Dickie says. "She has been pushed into the extremes with her family and starts to question some beliefs she had before. "She is an interesting character who has a lot contradictions and her firm foundations are tested. "They have left Yorkshire for New England to start this new life to be part of this Puritan plantation. "But her family starts to crumble around her. Even at the beginning of the movie this is starting to happen." Filming for Robert Eggers' directorial debut feature was largely done in forests close to an abandoned lumber town in Ontario in Canada. Dickie says the shoot could be "physically hard" at times, adding that the production team and adult cast members always had the child actors' welfare at the forefront of their minds. "Our base was this little town and we took over a hotel where we all lived together," she says. "We had a week's rehearsal which gave the younger kids in the cast time to get to know us and trust us. It also gave us all a chance to form the familial bonds that were needed for the film." The young cast members were also shielded from the movie's most frightening scenes. Dickie says: "The kids would not see what was supposed to be scaring them. Instead they would get direction from Robert and, rather than what the audience sees in the film, they are reacting to a 'boo' from him. "Travelling back together as a crew and cast allowed us to unwind and talk about the day with the kids. "Although it was tough physically we had a great time and made some beautiful friendships. There were a lot of good vibes." But "good vibes" are unlikely to be associated with any of Dickie's future roles in film or television. "I would like to say I have a romcom or a comedy coming up next," she laughs, before adding: "Sorry, I can't say that is going to happen." "I think because of the combination of my face and the stuff I am interested in, I get drawn to things that are complex and to characters living in a time in their lives that aren't easy. I'm fascinated with that." Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's The Witch is available on digital download and will be released to Blu-ray and DVD on Monday. Converted tries from Conor Murray and Sean Maitland in a patchy first half gave the tourists a 14-0 lead at the interval. "Sean O'Brien, the man of the match, must have exploded into the Lions squad for the second Test. He scored a great try from a line-out, crashing over. This will be a good boost for the Lions for Saturday - it is encouraging that the midweek team are back on the winning trail." Sean O'Brien and Ben Youngs added further scores either side of a penalty try as the Lions pressed home their superiority. Keeping a game and committed Rebels side scoreless was a tribute to the Lions' second string in the final midweek match of the tour. Manu Tuilagi, O'Brien, Ian Evans, Richard Hibbard, captain Dan Lydiate and Toby Faletau all put in impressive shifts in a last effort to force their way into Test contention. Whether any player did enough to play their way into the starting side on Saturday is debatable, although Tuilagi proved his trademark power was intact on his return from a shoulder injury. While it was far from error-free, and the Lions spurned several more opportunities to add to their score, there was far greater purpose and intensity than the miserable effort in the 14-12 defeat by ACT Brumbies in their last midweek match. After some early line-out woes, with two of their first three failing to hit the target, the Lions started to dominate possession and territory, with Tuilagi prominent in attack. After winning a penalty from their first scrum, they demolished the Rebels in another, paving the way for Murray to scramble over in the right corner after Faletau was held short. (provided by Opta Sports) They might have had a second moments later after establishing another strong position in the Rebels 22, but a Dan Cole fumble halted momentum. It was an untidy few minutes from the England tight-head, who then proceeded to knock on, before the Lions were penalised for collapsing a scrum. O'Brien, perhaps over-eager to show he should be in the Test squad, conceded an unnecessary penalty, but with Rebels full-back Jason Woodward unable to capitalise, the Ireland flanker promptly showed a more enterprising side to his game. A neat offload to Tuilagi on the left wing allowed the powerful centre to scatter defenders and pave the way for a fine team try. Faletau slipped as he cut against the grain in front of the posts, but the ball was swiftly recycled and Simon Zebo sent Maitland over for an excellent score. Farrell converted both tries for a 14-0 lead after 28 minutes and it stayed that way until half-time. Rebels centre Mitch Inman twice threatened to breach the Lions' defence and the hosts kicked a penalty to touch but Evans, enjoying his best game of the tour so far, got up to steal it. The Lions should have added to their tally early on the resumption but Maitland arrowed a long pass straight into touch rather than into the arms of the waiting O'Brien, who looked suitably unimpressed. But the Irish flanker did not have long to wait for his try, powering over from Lydiate's short pass after Faletau had won a line-out close to the Rebels' line. Farrell's third conversion made it 18 out of 19 on tour for the Lions before he was removed from the fray intact, with Saturday's second Test in mind. The Lions were then awarded a penalty try after Evans won a line-out and the Rebels pulled down the maul, replacement Jordy Reid earning a yellow card for his efforts. But despite their man advantage, the Lions were forced to scramble in defence, Zebo smashing Nick Stirzaker into touch after the replacement Rebels scrum-half broke away up the right flank. Youngs scored a superb fifth try with seven minutes left as he sprinted onto fellow replacement Tom Croft's line-out tap-down to out-strip the remaining cover.

Attendance: 28,648 Referee: Glenn Jackson (NZ) The Dumfries and Galloway festival is staging its biggest ever programme when it gets under way later this month. It is now opening a campsite in Duncan Park, which will have portable toilets and showers and a cooking area, and will cost £12 a night. A total of 236 authors are set to take part in talks, workshops and signings between 23 September and 2 October. Last year, organisers said 10,000 people visited the town during the festival but accommodation was hard to organise. EventScotland is supporting the organisation of the site, while extra ferries are also being put on from Northern Ireland. Artistic director Adrian Turpin said: "In 2015, around 22,000 tickets were issued for our events and over 10,000 people visited the Wigtown Book Festival; normally the town's population is 900. "We've been very lucky to work with EventScotland and introduce a campsite connected to the book festival in the area for the first time to help the town accommodate the population swell." He added: "Wigtown is Scotland's National Book Town, it's a great place to come and discover books, meet people and see the area that inspired some of Robert Burns's best work. "As one of the world's best natural beauty spots, Dumfries and Galloway is famed for its incredible green landscape, rolling hills and views of the Milky Way. "I hope that the new camping and ferry crossing opportunities encourages more people to come to the area and the 2016 Wigtown Book Festival."

Manchester United and Arsenal, who are fifth and sixth, meet on Sunday. "There are four amazing teams fighting for the last two Champions League places," the Catalan boss said. "It will be a big, big battle until the last game. "Hopefully United can focus on the Europa League and forget a little bit about the Premier League and then next season we can have five English teams in the Champions League, which would be amazing," he added. United will qualify for next season's Champions League if they win the Europa League, giving the Premier League an extra spot in the competition. Jose Mourinho's men lead Celta Vigo 1-0 from the first leg of their semi-final. Although City can still mathematically catch second-placed Tottenham, this season will almost certainly be the first in Guardiola's managerial career where he has not achieved at least a top-two finish. His Barcelona side finished runners-up to Real Madrid in La Liga in 2012, but he won the title in his other three seasons there - while his Bayern Munich team were Bundesliga champions in each of the three years he was in charge. "There is not another competition in the world with six strong teams fighting for one position - not in Spain nor Germany," Guardiola added. "It is so clear that here, every season will be tougher and tougher to qualify for the Champions League. "It is important to be in it for many reasons, to grow and to enjoy the big moments. We have got three games left and it is in our hands." While City are only third in the league table, Guardiola is adamant they are the top team when it comes to their creative play - it is just their finishing that lets them down. When asked about his side's inconsistency in attack after their crushing win over the Eagles, he replied: "I can only remember one game where the opponents created more chances than us - at White Hart Lane against Tottenham. "The other ones? No chance. "So we are better than all the teams in the Premier League, home and away, even the next champions Chelsea - we created more chances against them at home and at Stamford Bridge. "In the boxes, though, we are not so good. Vincent Kompany's return has helped us, just with his presence, to be better in our own box. "But we are the best team in the Premier League at creating clear, clear chances in front of goal - nobody can beat us at that." Guardiola's stats are correct - Spurs had 13 shots to City's 12 when they lost at White Hart Lane in October. Liverpool had the same number of shots as City when they drew at the Etihad Stadium in March but in City's other 33 league games under Guardiola, they have had more shots than the opposition. And, although Spurs (460) and Liverpool (452) have had more chances, or shots at goal, in total than City this season (445), when it comes to what statisticians Opta call 'big chances' [defined as a situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score, usually in a one-on-one situation or from very close range], City are out in front with 67. Guardiola has got used to seeing his side waste those sort of openings, and thought they would be punished again against Palace before their second-half goal glut. "Believe me, if we had arrived in the last 20 minutes against Palace at 1-0, we do not win the game," he explained. "I said to the players at half-time, either score another goal or forget about it, we are not able to win. "It has happened a lot this season - I remember some similar performances against other teams, but against Palace we scored the goals, and on other days we were not able to do that." Benny Collins, 40, a physiotherapist at Morriston Hospital's A&E department, was pulled from the sea at Three Cliffs Bay on Tuesday afternoon. He was flown to hospital where his colleagues tried to save him, but he died. His nine-year-old son was rescued along with him and needed hospital treatment. Mr Collins's wife Melanie is a nurse at the hospital. In a statement, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg health board said: "Benny was a very popular, gifted and much-loved member of staff. "His wife, Melanie, is also one of our senior nurses, so this tragedy has struck at the very heart of the health board. " National Trust Wales, which owns approximately 75% of the beach, said: "Our advice to anyone using Three Cliffs beach is not to bathe there. "We have safety signs making it clear that people are putting their lives at risk if they go in the water in strong surf conditions or when the water is cold." It added that extra safety signs advising against swimming would be placed on the beach. Swansea Council said although it does not own Three Cliffs Bay it would meet with the National Trust to discuss water safety. Mr Collins has become the latest person to die at the beach. In June, Jason North from Macclesfield, Cheshire, died trying to get his children out of the water. In August 2013, Wendy Phillips of Landore, Swansea, drowned at Three Cliffs Bay and the assistant Swansea coroner questioned the lack of lifeguard cover, but could not say for certain whether it would have prevented her death. The RNLI said in order to provide a lifeguard service it had to have an agreement with the landowner, in this case the National Trust and Pennard Golf Club. A spokesman said: "The RNLI can provide a safety service and are giving advice and guidance in best practice to the landowner." Several nearby beaches on Gower including Langland, Caswell and Port Eynon do have RNLI cover in the summer but Three Cliffs Bay does not. James Jones, who works at PJ's Surf Shop in Llangennith, said rip currents can make the area dangerous. He said: "You can get rips and currents at Three Cliffs. One stream goes out through the bay and that can cause a rip current. "It will create a flow out into the sea, they call it a rip current you can get dragged out. "I would say it's one of the more dangerous beaches to swim on the Gower, but saying that, at different times the rips would be different and the water calmer." "I knew the pain it would cause them to know their daughter had been violently raped, so I just decided not to tell them," she said. She was on a visit to Belfast in 2008, when the horrific attack happened during a hike in a forest park. "It's every parent's worst nightmare," said Ms Li. In an interview with BBC Radio Ulster's Sunday News programme, Ms Li said she felt she could not tell them because she was worried about how they would react. "My parents live in California, I live in London. I had enough stuff to go through and to deal with emotionally, and I didn't want to handle - as cruel as it sounds - or deal with their reaction," Ms Li admitted. "I was afraid they were going to say, 'you shouldn't have gone hiking on your own'." In the months following the attack, she suffered from severe anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She began to recover by writing an essay about the assault and aftermath, which was later published in a book. At Christmas 2011, she gave a copy of it to her parents. "I was really nervous about telling them, every survivor has to go through the nervousness," said Ms Li. "You don't know how people are going to react, sometimes they're not going to believe you and that's so damaging. "I didn't think my parents weren't going to believe me, I was afraid they were going to crumble, but I think because I was able to tell them in a coherent way and I'd been able to put my life together, it was better than if I'd told them the day after [the attack]." Ms Li is now an active campaigner for other rape victims, and said using her voice to help others to talk about their experiences is still incredibly important to her. "Every time I speak about it, someone else always comes up to me afterwards and says, 'I was raped too,'" she said. "Nobody knows what to say. There's this moment of shock, and as society we need to be better equipped to know what to say and how to help loved ones." Ms Li has written a novel, Dark Chapter, based on her ordeal and those of other women, telling the story of a rape from the perspectives of both the victim and perpetrator. She said she hopes that it will encourage more open and honest conversations about the subject of rape, which is often still treated as a "shameful stigma". "We're still letting victims of rape down, but I think things have changed for the better," said Ms Li. "It's not an easy journey - not everyone's going to understand or react in the best way, but that's the fault of our society not knowing how to deal with this issue." Winnie Li will be appearing at the Belfast Book Festival in June to discuss her experiences and her novel. Media playback is not supported on this device The in-form hosts recovered from Jefferson Montero's sublime strike to score either side of half-time. Liam Sercombe levelled from the penalty spot before Roofe curled into the bottom corner from 20 yards. And Roofe finished off a counter-attack to ensure Oxford reached the fourth round for the first time in 17 years, despite a Bafetimbi Gomis strike. Swansea's rally came too late and the home side fully deserved their place in the next round following a vibrant performance. The U's are third in League Two and a number of their young players impressed against a Swansea team that surrendered possession too often and looked shaky at the back in the absence of skipper Ashley Williams. Michael Appleton's side are already regarded as one of the best teams in their division, and a cup run is likely to further strengthen their promotion push. Appleton, a former Portsmouth, Blackpool and Blackburn manager, has been promised 50% of the gate receipts generated from the tie for player recruitment. More than 11,600 supporters packed into the 12,500-capacity Kassam Stadium, guaranteeing a sizeable pay day for the promotion chasers. Even when under some late pressure, they refused to go long, and in ball-playing John Lundstram, the pacy Roofe and midfield schemer Sercombe they have players who will surely interest clubs from higher divisions. There was little to cheer for the visitors, who looked to have weathered some early pressure when they took the lead against the run of play from Montero's backheel after a clever one-two with Marvin Emnes. Alan Curtis' side felt aggrieved at Oxford's leveller - McDonald tumbling without any real contact from Kyle Bartley - but the challenge was reckless and epitomised the muddled nature of some of Swansea's play. It was desperate stuff - Jonjo Shelvey continually firing long-range shots over the bar - and more slack defending allowed Roofe time to cut inside and bury a fine finish into the bottom corner. Again, for Oxford's third, the Swansea defence could have done better as the impressive Roofe knocked the ball past Jordi Amat and raced through to finish. There was a late rally following a Gomis goal laid on by Jack Cork, but the sheer desperation about the Premier League side will be a concern ahead of stiffer tests in the top flight. Oxford manager Michael Appleton: "I've got to be delighted beating a Premier League side - but not just that, it's the way we did it. "I think a few people fancied us beforehand and I did too but we also wanted to play the same way we've been doing it all season and play with no fear. "I've been saying since the start of the season that we've got three or four players who could play at a higher level and Kemar Roofe is one of them. "But sometimes as a player you want to be at a football club that is also playing to your potential and hopefully they can achieve the success they want here. "We need more days and nights like this." Media playback is not supported on this device Swansea manager Alan Curtis: "We made changes and there was a certain amount of rustiness but I am disappointed. We were poor for the first hour of the game. "The team we picked was strong enough to win, but all credit to Oxford. They were the better team and deserved to win. "The league was always going to be the priority but we wanted a cup run and to get some momentum going. It's a huge setback for the club." Swansea, who made 10 changes, can now focus on Premier League survival, starting with a home game against fellow strugglers Sunderland on Wednesday. Oxford, who have a four-point cushion in the automatic promotion places in League Two, face Millwall in the first leg of the Football League Trophy area final on Thursday.

A Hawker Hunter jet crashed on to a road during the Shoreham Airshow on Saturday, killing at least 11 people. With an inquiry under way, the aviation regulator has said vintage jets will not be allowed to do major aerobatics displays over land. The Scottish Airshow said all of its displays were "safe" and over water. The event at Ayr and Prestwick will take place over the weekend of 5 and 6 September. The flying event on Saturday will take place over the sea, off Low Green at Ayr. An exhibition of aircraft will be held the following day at Prestwick Airport. Both days are expected to attract more than 50,000 spectators. There have been calls in the aftermath of the Shoreham crash for air shows to be cancelled on safety grounds. Doug Maclean, from The Airshow Scotland Ltd, said organisers had considered cancelling the Ayrshire event but decided to go-ahead as all the flying was done over water in a "very safe" environment. He said they would fully consider new restrictions from the Civil Aviation Authority. "We don't plan to have anything over land at all," he said. "The Scottish Airshow is based in Ayr at the moment because it's a very safe and very friendly environment to operate in. "The flying is done offshore and in controlled airspace." But Mr Maclean said that aviation in the UK was generally "very safe". "Every aircraft in the sky is regulated either by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) or the Ministry of Defence (MoD). "These aircraft are maintained to meticulous standards, which applies to both a modern aeroplane and something like a Spitfire, which was built for the Second World War. "So you could almost say that the older aeroplanes are actually safer because they do pay a lot of attention to the history of the aeroplanes and what they've been doing all of their career." He added: "Aviation is very safe because we learn lessons from any incident that happens." In the wake of the Shoreham Airshow tragedy, the CAA said vintage jets would be "limited to flypasts" at airshows. This meant that "high-energy aerobatics" would not be permitted in displays over land. A spokesman for CAA confirmed that all Hawker Hunter aircraft had been grounded until further notice. The regulator added that it would be conducting "additional risk assessments on all forthcoming civil air displays". Hecklers shouted out "murderer" and "resign" at him before the minute's silence, held across the nation. Earlier, centre-right opposition leader Nicolas Sarkozy accused the government of failing to provide security. Troops are to be redeployed to tourist spots as inquiries continue into the killer's possible links to jihadists. Mr Sarkozy, a former president, called for any foreign nationals with links to radical Islam to be expelled from France. This was a scene that has never been seen before in France at a national act of homage: the head of government booed and called a murderer. The angry reception that Prime Minister Manuel Valls received when he observed the minute's silence in Nice is a stark warning of how the mood in the country has changed. The attacks of last year seemed too extraordinary to provoke much more than shock and horror. But Nice showed that mass terror is becoming regular and ordinary. And - as Manuel Valls saw at the ceremony - that is beginning to make people very angry indeed. Read more The authorities say Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a Tunisian living in Nice, became radicalised only recently. Investigators say they have not yet found evidence that he pledged allegiance to radical groups or had contact with known extremists. But Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said images found on his computer as well as recent internet searches showed he had a "clear and recent interest" in radical Islamist movements. Lahouaiej-Bouhlel rented the 19-tonne truck used in the attack on 4 July and drove to the Promenade des Anglais twice in the days before the attack, Mr Molins said. Examinations of his computer showed he had searched for details of the Bastille Day celebrations in Nice as well as videos showing "terrible" traffic accidents. This showed that his act was "premeditated and deliberate", Mr Molins said. Many of the dead and injured were children watching a Bastille Day fireworks display with their families. There are still 74 people in hospital, 28 of whom are in intensive care, Mr Molins said. Thirteen of the victims have not yet been identified, he said. Neighbours have described Lahouaiej-Bouhlel as a violent loner who liked to drink, lift weights and go salsa dancing. Mr Valls has suggested the killer may have been radicalised too quickly to trigger the authorities' attention. He was shot dead by police when his vehicle's path along the Promenade des Anglais was eventually halted. Tunisian security sources have told the BBC he visited Tunisia frequently, most recently eight months ago. IS said the attacker was acting in response to its calls to target civilians in countries that are part of the coalition ranged against it. Six people are being held in connection with the killings. They are people who may have been in recent contact with Lahouaiej-Bouhlel or who may have helped him get the gun he used in the attack, Mr Molins said. The latest arrests, of an Albanian couple who have not been identified, were on Sunday morning, French judicial sources say. Lahouaiej-Bouhlel's estranged wife, who was detained on Friday, was released on Sunday. The government condemned the announcement by the British Medical Association, which comes two weeks after ministers said they would force the changes on doctors from the summer. Ministers say the contract will improve services, and strikes are unnecessary. The BMA says the contract is unfair. The latest move marks a further escalation in the long-running dispute, which is fast becoming the most bitter breakdown in relations between the government and medical profession since the NHS was created. The three strikes in March and April will each last 48 hours, although emergency cover will be provided. The stoppages will be held on: Two strikes have already been held this year - one in January and one in February. Both lasted just 24 hours. BMA junior doctor leader Dr Johann Malawana said he had spent the last two weeks consulting with members and they had given a "resounding message" that they "cannot and will not accept" the imposition, which includes paying doctors less to work Saturdays. "The government must put patients before politics, get back around the table and find a negotiated solution to this dispute," he added. The BMA also believes it has found legal grounds for a challenge. Under the Equality Act 2010, there is an onus to show "due regard" to equalities issues, typically through carrying out an equality impact assessment. This would look at issues such as whether access to services could be compromised by a change in policy. The BMA said the government has failed to provide evidence such an assessment has been done and so will challenge the government in the courts over it. A Department of Health spokesman said: "Further strike action is completely unnecessary and will mean tens of thousands more patients face cancelled operations - over a contract that was 90% agreed with the BMA. "We urge junior doctors to look at the detail of the contract and the clear benefits it brings. The news comes hours after the government's former patient safety adviser said ministers were wrong to impose the contract. Prof Don Berwick, who led a review for government on safety three years ago, said there should be a three-year moratorium on the imposition of the new contract and called on the government to "apologise". He said the NHS had a "demoralised" workforce and needed to find another way out of the "mess", the Health Service Journal reported. Speaking at an event in London at the King's Fund think-tank, Prof Berwick, who has also acted as a health adviser to US President Barack Obama, said: "You cannot achieve excellence in combat with your future workforce, it makes no sense at all." The Prime Minister's spokeswoman said the freshly announced strikes were "regrettable", but she was sure discussions would continue. And Danny Mortimer, chief executive of NHS Employers, which has been negotiating with doctors on behalf of the government, added the move was "disappointing" as the majority of the BMA's concerns had been addressed in the final contract offer. "This disruption to patient care is unnecessary. I strongly believe that the final contract is safe, fair and reasonable. For the sake of the NHS, and patients I urge all junior doctors to take a look at the contract in detail before taking part in any future action." Read more from Nick Follow Nick on Twitter It means back-to-back victories for a county who were relegated last year and started this season with two defeats. The Mourne men made a stunning start and had 1-10 on the board before Derry got their first score on 26 minutes. Elsewhere in Division Two, Fermanagh are bottom of the table after falling to a 4-14 to 0-14 defeat at the hands of Kildare in Newbridge. The result achieved by Down will raise eyebrows as the county's football fortunes were thought to be at a low ebb. I expected a lot more from Derry as everyone knew the losers today would be under pressure of relegation. Eamonn Burns' men reeled off an amazing run of scores through Barry O'Hagan (3), Darragh O'Hanlon (3), Caolan Mooney (2), Joe Murphy, Conor Maginn and a goal by Ryan Johnston to lead 1-10 to 0-0. Conor McAtamney got Derry's first point which was quickly followed by a goal scored by Niall McGuckin. When McAtamney and Emmet McGuckin tagged on further scores, a Derry revival appeared to be underway. But Down kept their nerve and deserved their eight-point success. Meanwhile at Newbridge, Fermanagh were no match for promotion-chasing Kildare. Fermanagh landed the opening three points but were then blown away by the Lilywhites. Midfielder Tommy Moolick snapped up two goals and corner-forward Chris Healy also found the net. Fermanagh got the last four points of the half to trail 3-06 to 0-09 at the interval. However, Kildare effectively killed off the game by scoring a goal and three without reply at the start of the second half. It was full-forward Daniel Flynn who bagged the hosts' fourth goal to leave Fermanagh heading for their third defeat from four matches in Division Two. Barry Mulrone, Sean Quigley and Tomas Corrigan got among the points, but the Erne men had Ryan Jones sent off late on. "The goals had a massive bearing on the game," said Fermanagh manager Pete McGrath. "There was a 13-minute spell when they scored 3-6 and two of those were preventable and down to lapses in concentration. "Kildare are physically imposing and outgunned us. "We battled but we were playing against a team better than ourselves." Media playback is not supported on this device Volker Treier, deputy chief executive of the organisation, told the BBC that German business is "astonished" that the UK is planning a referendum over its EU membership. Prime Minister David Cameron is due to meet Angela Merkel in Berlin on Friday. Mr Treier said the German Chancellor should not offer concessions. He is concerned that if the UK receives concessions then other nations might also demand negotiations over their terms of membership. "We are really astonished about this referendum," he said. The organisation estimates that German companies employ nearly 400,000 people in the UK. Mr Treier said many of those companies were unsettled by the planned referendum. If the UK were to leave the EU, he warned that a significant number of German firms would contemplate reducing their investment in Britain. Officials said most of the immigrants originally came from Haiti but others had come from as far afield as Bangladesh, Senegal and Nigeria. They said about 1,700 illegal migrants had arrived during the past two weeks. Acre, in the Amazon region, has asked for additional funding from the federal government to cope with the influx. More than 5,000 Haitians have arrived in Acre since 2010, but in recent months there has been an increase in immigration from Senegal, Nigeria, the Dominican Republic and Bangladesh. Officials say the routes through Peru and Bolivia have become popular with people smugglers because dense vegetation makes it difficult for border police to patrol them. Dangerous odyssey Most of those who get caught are housed in a temporary shelter in the town of Brasileia, 280km (173 miles) south-west of the state capital Rio Branco. By Fabio PontesBBC Brasil The immigrants are housed in the former headquarters of a football club - it is a big warehouse-style building, where temperatures get extremely high. The average temperature during this season in Acre is around 35 degrees. Inside, it rises to more than 40 degrees. It can shelter up to 200 people but there are now more than 1,000; some have been relocated to tents outside. Others are sleeping rough in public spaces using their suitcases as beds and pillows. Because there are not enough public toilets, some of them are having to relieve themselves in the woods. The situation is truly chaotic. It is estimated that 10% of Brasileia's 20,000-strong population are immigrants who arrived within the last two years. Many of them are Haitians who fled their country after the 2010 earthquake, which left much of Haiti devastated. Resident Eli Lima de Freita told BBC Brasil that the town was in a state of "absolute chaos'' as the authorities struggle to house and feed the immigrants. State authorities say dealing with the unexpected wave of illegal immigration has cost them about $1.5m (£1m) over the past two years. Haitian immigrants described flying from the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, to Panama, then to Ecuador, from where they journeyed on by land to either Peru or Bolivia. From there they crossed into Acre, often paying "coyotes" or people smugglers to get them across the border. The Senegalese said they had travelled north from Senegal to Morocco, crossing over to Spain, from where they flew to Ecuador. From there, they continued along the same route taken by the Haitians. For many, Acre is not the final destination. They said they were trying to reach big urban centres in Brazil, such as Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, but would stay wherever they could make a living. Brazilian police last year raided a number of sweatshops in the capital, Brasilia, and in Sao Paulo, where undocumented immigrants from Bolivia and Pakistan were found working in unsafe conditions for very little or no pay. Suspected attacker Kori Ali Muhammad, 39, shouted "God is great" in Arabic as police tackled and then arrested him, Police Chief Jerry Dyer said. Chief Dyer told reporters the shooting spree was a "random act of violence". The suspect was wanted for the murder of a motel security guard who was unarmed when he was killed on Thursday. "There is every reason to believe he acted alone," Chief Dyer said, adding that there is no evidence so far to suspect a terrorism motive. All four gunshot victims on Tuesday were white men, the Sacramento Bee reports, and Chief Dyer said that Mr Muhammad had displayed an anger against white people in Facebook posts. "He does not like white people, and he has anti-government sentiments", the chief said, adding that the FBI had been alerted. The shooting began around 10:45 local time near the headquarters for Catholic Charities. In less than a minute, 16 shots were fired, authorities say. Witnesses said they saw a man carrying a large handgun, who reloaded it several times between shots. The gunman then fired at a utility vehicle belonging to the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, killing the passenger. Government offices, including the Fresno County Courthouse, have been placed on lockdown as a precaution. The 35-year-old said he was shocked to win the public vote, saying: "I can't believe it. "I'm just so grateful to everyone that's voted for me. I couldn't have dreamed this would happen, especially at my ripe old age." Simm closed the show - and the last series on BBC One - with a rendition of the winner's song All You Good Friends. In his defeat, Jolan said he "couldn't wish anybody better to win it," joking "he's like an older granddad". Simm was the bookmaker's favourite to win the contest and was a popular bet throughout the series since his blind audition. He is currently 2-1 with one bookmakers to score a UK number one single following his success on the show. The singer impressed with his final performances of Stay by Rihanna and a duet of The Killers' Mr Brightside with his mentor, Ricky Wilson. He was previously part of pop group Liberty X - which formed after competing on ITV singing show Popstars in 2001 - and topped the UK charts in 2002 with the song Just A Little. The finale began with the four finalists performing, but hopefuls Lydia Lucy and Cody Frost failed to make the final two. Will.i.am, who mentored Lydia Lucy, promised to record with the 22-year-old in effort to make her a star. Meanwhile, Boy George said both him and his singer Frost were "pleased" at the outcome because the 18-year-old did not want to sing the winner's song. It was announced last November ITV had signed a three-year deal to air The Voice from 2017. Wilson confirmed the same month he was leaving the coaching panel, and it has been reported Will.i.am and Paloma Faith will also not return when the show moves to ITV. Moise Katumbi urged President Joseph Kabila to stick to the constitution. Mr Katumbi has been nominated by seven opposition parties to be their presidential candidate in the elections expected in November. Mr Kabila took power in 2001 after his father Laurent Kabila was assassinated. Africa Live: BBC news updates Mr Kabila has won two disputed elections since he took power in 2001, and is constitutionally barred from contesting the poll. Violent protests erupted last year over fears that President Joseph Kabila was trying to delay polls. If Mr Kabila stands down in December he "will go out as a great president who will be praised everywhere," Mr Katumbi told the BBC. Moise Katumbi was governor of the south-eastern Katanga province for almost a decade. In September last year he broke ties with the ruling party when he accused President Kabila, his former ally, of wanting to cling to power. His popularity is partly down to his job as the president of a great source of Congolese pride - football club TP Mazembe. They are Africa's reigning football champions, having won the African Champions League for the fifth time in November. Could Moise Katumbi become president? Kabila unlikely to give up power Mr Katumbi thanked the seven parties whic nominated him on Wednesday as their presidential candidate. But he didn't confirm whether he would accept the nomination, instead saying he wants even more opposition parties to join the coalition. "For now, I am continuing my consultations here in Europe for the unity of the opposition. "I am also consulting all the forces to have a single opposition candidate," he said. Thousands of people have joined the protest, carrying banners with pictures of the missing trainee teachers. Prosecutors say the students were arrested by corrupt police officers after a demonstration in the town of Iguala on 26 September. They were handed over to a local criminal gang, who killed them. The students attended a teacher training college in Ayotzinapa, in south-western Guerrero state. The college has a history of left-wing activism but it is not clear whether the students were targeted for their political beliefs. Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said the criminals burned the bodies in a nearby waste disposal site and scattered their ashes in a local stream. Forensic experts in Austria carried out DNA tests on bone fragments found in a bag in the area and managed to identify one of the 43 students. It has been five months and the families still await answers but they are not giving up hope. The disappearance of the students has mobilised many Mexicans who say enough is enough. One supporter at the march carried a sign saying she wanted to be one of the Mexicans to make a difference, not one of the many who seems indifferent to the thousands of disappearances in this country in the past few years. The call for President Enrique Pena Nieto to step down can be heard loud and clear in the crowds here. But relatives and independent investigators reject the official version of events. They have held a series of demonstrations over the past five months to demand that the government do more to find the students. Prosecutors believe the Iguala mayor, Jose Luis Abarca, ordered the students' arrest because their protest disturbed a planned political speech by his wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda. Both have been arrested and charged with involvement with organised crime. The dancers, from Alvechurch in Worcestershire, were accused of being racist because some of their members' faces had been blackened. One man filmed himself confronting them as they performed near the Bullring. The Alvechurch Morris dancer group has not commented on the incident. More on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country The use of black face make-up by Morris dancers has become a controversial issue, with Shrewsbury Folk Festival banning the practice after receiving complaints. Supporters, however, say the practice dates back centuries and is not linked to race. Croatian Cilic, 27, has worked with compatriot Ivanisevic since September 2013 and won the 2014 US Open by beating Kei Nishikori in the final. He reached the semi-finals the following year and has three Wimbledon quarter-final appearances to his name. "I enjoyed our work all this time and Goran helped me to reach many goals," Cilic said on Facebook. Dorothy Cooper got out of her vehicle in a car park off Sandy Lane in Royton, Oldham at about 13:50 BST on Wednesday when she was told there was a problem with it, witnesses told police. As she was checking her white Hyundai i10, a man allegedly jumped in and drove over her. A man, 45, has been arrested on suspicion of assault. The car was found about three miles away in Buersil Avenue, Rochdale. The woman is being treated in hospital. Students and police clashed at the National Institute of Technology in the summer capital Srinagar, with police baton-charging students. The mood had soured after India lost to West Indies in the World T20 cricket semi-final on Thursday. Non-Kashmiris say local students cheered as India lost, stopping others from unfurling the national flag. Campus authorities had to suspend classes amid security concerns after clashes broke out between the two sides. Paramilitary police have now been deployed to maintain order. Many people in the territory - especially in the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley - do not want it to be governed by India. They would prefer to be either independent or part of Pakistan. The territory has been the spark for two of the three India-Pakistan wars: the first in 1947-8, the second in 1965. Classes resumed this week but on Tuesday night the non-Kashmiri students attempted to march out of the campus and were stopped at the main gate by police. "The students assaulted policemen including officers and started throwing stones," a police spokesman told BBC Hindi. "This resulted in damage to public property. The police chased the mob and some of the students got injured." Twelve students were injured in the police baton charge. Students accused police of confiscating the national flag they were carrying. Classes resumed on Wednesday but many students have been boycotting classes in protest. Some of the non-Kashmiri students have issued a letter to the university, saying they face discrimination and demanding that India's national flag be hoisted at the institution, alongside the Kashmiri state flag. Education Minister Smriti Irani has sent government officials to the campus, and pledged to ensure a safe environment for students. Home Minister Rajnath Singh said he had also sought assurances from the state's newly appointed chief minister Mehbooba Mufti over the issue. The incident comes two months after the student leader of India's premier Jawaharlal Nehru University was arrested on "sedition" charges for allegedly chanting "anti-national" slogans. The arrest sparked protests and a debate on nationalism in India. He was freed on bail in March but the government has stuck to its stand that it will punish "anti-national elements". Edmund, 21, defeated Czech Rosol, 30, in one hour and 44 minutes. Aljaz Bedene, Britain's number two, went out of the Barcelona Open, losing 3-6 6-3 7-6 (7-2) to Russian qualifier Karen Khachanov in the first round. Britain's Johanna Konta lost 6-3 6-3 to Germany's Anna-Lena Friedsam in the first round of the Stuttgart Open. "I think this is a good result for the United Kingdom. Our nation state has made a clear definition as to where they want to go forward. "They backed hope, they backed aspiration, they backed the future potential of the United Kingdom and I'm very pleased with the result." "The British government has no democratic mandate to represent the views of the north in any future negotiations with the European Union and I think there is a democratic imperative for a border poll. "I think the fact that we have seen a situation where 56% of the people of the north - who are unionists and nationalists and republicans - voted together to stay in Europe, further strengthens the case for a border poll." "Despite the clear majority within Northern Ireland voting to remain within the European Union, we must respect the overall result and deal with it and its implications, political, financial and social. On the negotiations that lie ahead, Mike Nesbitt said: "Does (Arlene Foster) go representing the DUP, who are Brexiteers, or does she go as First Minister recognising that 56% of people in NI voted to remain?" "Yesterday Northern Ireland voted to remain as part of the European Union. Ireland's rightful place is at the heart of Europe. That was true yesterday, it remains true today. "There can be no return to a physical border across this island. There must remain freedom of movement for people, goods and services across Ireland." "There will be no immediate change to the free flow of people between Britain and Ireland. We have engaged in detailed contingency planning for the possibility of this result. "The Dáil (Irish parliament) will be recalled on Monday. We will do our upmost to maintain the common travel area." "As we move into negotiations around the fiscal relationship with London, I will act resolutely to protect the interests of all our people, especially against further austerity. "It is essential we assure potential investors, the business community and those in receipt of European funding that we will endeavour to put in place the necessary measures to safeguard our interests. I will be doing my utmost to prevent more barriers being erected between our people across this island." "What a glorious night for British democracy, British sovereignty and the British people! Well done all who voted Leave. This is your victory." "Cameron to resign as he can't represent a country that voted to leave. Can Arlene represent NI when it voted Remain?" "It's a sad day for those of us committed to the peace and prosperity brought about by European unity. I can only hope that having taken this decision that those who drove this know what they are doing because the consequences will be reaching on so many levels. "As a matter of priority political leaders in Northern Ireland will need to find a way to reflect the democratically expressed will of the majority people as expressed here against backdrop of the decision taken." "All of the factors which have made Northern Ireland a good place to start and grow a business, including our attractiveness as a location for investment, a base for research and development and as a trading partner, remain and will continue to provide the foundations upon which to grow our economy in the future. "As part of the 5th largest economy in the world, we are confident that Northern Ireland will continue to succeed as an attractive location for inward investment, in particular from our largest target market, the USA; and that the reduction in corporation tax will play an invaluable role in creating a business-friendly environment to support job creation, based on the combination of tax, talent and value. "Three quarters of IoD NI members who took part in a survey in March 2016 wanted the UK to remain in the European Union but now that the UK has voted to leave the EU, it is imperative that political leaders manage this transition as smoothly as possible. "One thing the UK Government must do is to guarantee the right to remain of EU citizens currently working in the UK. Many companies in Northern Ireland have EU nationals employed in key roles and do not want the disruption of losing valued staff." "Obviously there will be a great deal of shock among the immigrant communities here this morning because they don't really know what their position is. "I do believe that there will be no particular change to their positions immediately, but it will effect certainly family members who want to come here and any other people who want to come from countries like Poland." "We are very sad that the vote is to leave the European Union. While we fear that the result will be economic damage, we call on our political leaders to establish arrangements that limit this damage. "This means that we need to know as soon as possible what will happen to Northern Ireland's borders with the Republic and with Great Britain. We need to know what the future cross-border travel rules will be and what, if any, customs controls will be put in place. " "We don't want farmers to panic. CAP (Common Agriculture Policy) support is guaranteed to 2019. "We will immediately enter into discussions on future support arrangements, funded by the UK Treasury, and also on the continuation of trade with Europe. "We also have a UK farm union's team in Brussels that will work closely with the European Commission and UK government as the UK makes the transition to exit the EU." "I am of course very disappointed by the national outcome of the referendum, but it is one that Northern Ireland clearly took a different view of. A majority here, 56%, voted to remain in the European Union on a regional turnout of 62.7%." "I am proud that our members gave NUS-USI a mandate to campaign to remain in the EU and our regional result here, just like in Scotland should act as a serious message to the UK government to work closely with the devolved governments to minimise the very clear economic implications that the referendum outcome will have." "Today some of us will be feeling delighted, angry or bewildered; a time of mixed emotions at the onset of profound change. "For believers, our identity is found in Jesus, not in Stormont, Westminster or Brussels. Real hope is secure, as Christ is sovereign and good. Today we pray for our political leaders, for wisdom and strength as they lead us through this period of change." "Following the result of the UK referendum on EU membership and the decision to leave the EU, I believe it is important that special arrangements are reached swiftly to protect businesses that rely so much on cross-border trade and on trade between the Republic of Ireland and the UK as a whole. "This is not a time for panic but it is a time for wise, careful and prudent planning." "It is too early to speculate on potential outcomes/impacts of the UK now having voted to leave the European Union. "As always, we are committed to our businesses, all our employees and our customers in the UK, and we will continue to work with the government and other industry stakeholders to create the necessary business environment to ensure our future success." "The result of yesterday's referendum is deeply disappointing from our perspective. While the reaction on the financial markets has been swift and severe, a fuller assessment of the impact on our economy will take some time to emerge. "It has to be recognised that the drop in the value of sterling has caused an immediate problem for Irish firms exporting to the UK and in the wider conduct of cross border commerce. Much will now depend on the negotiations around the UK's exit from the EU." "The Irish government must now ensure that the terms of the UK's exit do not lead to unnecessary burdens and tariffs particularly on Northern Ireland businesses trading with the rest of Europe. "The decision of voters in the UK who wanted their country to leave the EU sends a message to those of us who remain. Brussels must reform its approach to decision making." Several Welsh organisations had called for boys to receive the human papillomavirus (HPV) jab to protect them from head and neck cancers. The vaccine is already given to young girls to prevent cervical cancers. But Mr Drakeford said he was waiting for advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which could take another two years. Organisations, led by charity Tenovus Cancer Care, delivered a letter to the Welsh government in June calling for the vaccination to be rolled out. In reply, Mr Drakeford said a "preliminary assessment" was due to be presented to the JCVI later this year, but added: "It is anticipated that final advice will not be available for some time beyond this, possibly not until 2017." The minister said: "I will await JCVI's recommendations and consider the implications for Wales of any proposed changes to the HPV vaccination programme." Reacting to the letter, Jon Antoniazzi of Tenovus Cancer Care, said extending the vaccination programme to include boys should be "a matter of priority". Robert Colgan, 26, from Mournebeg Drive in the Rathcoole estate, admitted a total of 12 offences. They included possession of explosives under suspicious circumstances and communicating false information causing bomb hoaxes. He was sentenced to 26 months, half of which will be served in custody. The remainder will be served on licence. Belfast Crown Court was told the offences took place between 31 January and 4 March, 2013, and a prosecutor said they were against a backdrop of the union flag protests. The court heard that while Colgan was not a member of any paramilitary organisation, he made a total of six hoax bomb calls, a majority of which he said were on behalf of the "Real UDA". A judge told Colgan "your actions will have served to ratchet up an already tense situation in our community." The judge also spoke of the terror felt by the family of a DUP councillor at whose home a hoax device was left. He said such an attack "strikes at the heart of our very democracy". Colgan pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing explosives in suspicious circumstances - namely a blast bomb, and to six charges of communicating false information causing a bomb hoax. He also admitted a further four counts of placing an article causing a bomb hoax. Colgan was linked by forensic evidence to a crude bomb left at a Catholic church, and linked to a bomb at an Iceland store via a text message he sent that said: "We done (sic) Iceland for a laugh." Colgan was arrested on 4 March and when his home was searched mobile phones were handed over that linked him to some of the hoax bomb calls. A prosecutor said other information on the phones - such as texts and pictures of the emergency services attending at some scenes - indicated Colgan "got a kick out of the volume of disruption he caused". A defence barrister said two years has passed since the incidents, and in that time Colgan has shown "a degree of insight and remorse" and has not committed any further offending - proving he was a "young man who is capable of staying out of trouble." Passing sentence, a judge said he felt Colgan's offending escalated from hoaxes to viable devices. The judge also said that after reading a pre-sentence report, Colgan's intent was to "cause chaos and widespread disruption" which he "clearly" did. Branding Colgan as "foolish", the judge spoke not only of the risk to police officers, but also of the disruption to local businesses and those living in the affected areas. Addressing Colgan, he said: "There can be no doubt whatsoever that the seriousness of these offences warrants a custodial sentence." Geoffrey Farquharson admitted leaving the message on the phone of Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw the day before Labour's Jo Cox was shot and stabbed in June. The call to his Westminster office, that ended with Farquharson warning "I will kill you", also included a homophobic remark about Mr Bradshaw. The 37-year-old from Exeter was jailed for 12 weeks, suspended for two years. Sentencing at Exeter Magistrates' Court, District Judge Stephen Nichols also gave Farquharson a restraining order that bans him from contacting the MP and visiting his Exeter office. Judge Nichols delivered the sentence after considering psychological reports and hearing Farquharson described as "very vulnerable and lonely" by his defence. Farquharson, who admitted sending a communication of an indecent or offensive nature, had introduced himself on the call giving his name and full address. At an earlier hearing, his lawyer Sue Snow, said her client sounded "unbalanced and upset" as he made the call. During it he can be heard calling Muslims "a problem" and making derogatory remarks about Mr Bradshaw's sexuality. Speaking for the defence, Rob Jacobs said Farquharson had too much time on his hands to think and ruminate on his political views. Mr Bradshaw said the death threat had been "a culmination of increasingly aggressive and threatening" emails, telephone calls and visits from Farquharson. The MP thanked Devon and Cornwall Police for the "quick and efficient" way in which they dealt with the matter, but said he had received death threats and homophobic abuse before and had not been unduly worried. He said while security was an important issue and sensible precautions had to be taken, he did not believe "100% security" was either possible or realistic for MPs. "We wouldn't want that, because we want to be out and about in our constituencies, among the public, meeting people," he added. The industry's latest quarterly survey found the balance of firms' trading positions was strongly positive. The Bank of England's agent in Scotland said firms had moved beyond their initial "post-referendum gloom". He said there was evidence they were shifting suppliers to the UK to capitalise on the weaker pound. The engineering survey found a gap of 12 percentage points between those saying output was up and those saying it was down - 36% to 24%. That gap rose to 30 points on those who said exporting activity was above normal, or 43% to 13%. That exporting performance ended 13 quarters of negative figures from trade body Scottish Engineering. Machine shops had a particularly strong showing, with 63% of firms saying activity was up after tough times due to the oil and gas downturn. In exports, transport and metal manufacturing were strongly positive, with a 50-point positive gap in the transport sector. More companies reported production volumes were up than said were falling, by a margin of 14 percentage points - 27% to 13%. Expectations of volume growth were stronger still. While 18% of firms surveyed said they were less optimistic than they were, 35% said they were more so. Bryan Buchan, chief executive of Scottish Engineering, said: "After the initial shock of last year's Brexit vote, Scottish engineering companies have adopted the usual pragmatic approach and buckled down to getting on with business. "Major areas of concern for all Scottish operations include the revisions in business rates, the relatively unfavourable mid-range personal taxation regimen, and the long-awaited details of the disbursement of the Apprenticeship Levy takings." The latest sector review includes a guest commentary from the Bank of England's agent in Scotland, Will Dowson, who wrote: "There's some uncertainty about the post-Brexit landscape, particularly for those companies that rely heavily on international trade, and some investment plans have been affected which could drag on over the coming years. "It is clear that the UK's new relationship with the EU - and the reforms that it brings about both at UK levels and here in Scotland - will determine our long-term prosperity." Mr Dowson's job sees him visiting a lot of Scottish firms to gather information for the Bank of England's decision-making. He notes a positive mood, saying: "Manufacturers note some increased sourcing from domestic suppliers due to the fall in sterling. That decline, along with stronger global demand, had led some to see a rise in export volume growth. "There's even a chink of light for oil and gas sector companies, who have been encouraged by the recent rise in the oil price. "In the services sector, locally many companies have shrugged off the post- referendum gloom and are reporting buoyant levels of activity. And so far households have not cut back their spending even though the cost of living is beginning to rise." With input from those who are planning new cities to people who are retro-fitting old ones and even a child's view of the future, we asked one simple question: "What if you could design a city from scratch?" We have had some intriguing answers, from those who think the smart cities of the future will rely on technology to those who want to put people centre stage. And for the children, who will after all be the citizens of these future urban spaces, the vision is more fantastical. But then, who wouldn't want a city with tree-high swimming pools full of sweets? Guru Banavar is IBM's chief technology officer and was the chief architect behind Rio de Janeiro's control centre. If I were to build a city from scratch, I would build in the digital infrastructure of sensors, networks and data analytics as meticulously as the physical infrastructure of buildings, roads, and utilities. In a modern city, a robust digital infrastructure is essential to manage the physical resources and ensure that the city will be liveable and sustainable over the long term. A well-designed digital infrastructure will support decision-making by public managers as well as private citizens. By understanding the large volumes of data emitted by a city, it is possible to not only sense and respond to the current demands of citizens, but also be proactive in anticipating the needs and issues that citizens may face in the future. A modern city would go far beyond simply sensing what's going on all around. Good decisions are based on a good understanding of information, which means that city data from many sources will need to be integrated and analysed rapidly. For example, city leaders will need high-quality insights to manage a carbon neutrality programme, a social and health services programme, or an innovative public transportation programme. The digital infrastructure can provide the insight and foresight needed to support the right operational decisions, drive long-term plans, and help evolve the city towards its goals, whether they are social, economic, or environmental. Steve Lewis knows better than many the problems of building a city from scratch because he is attempting to do just that in Portugal. Reasons for urbanisation are wide-ranging but tend to be economic and social in nature. Today the top 25 cities in the world account for 50% or more of our global wealth. Traditionally, permanent and sustainable settlement has taken hundreds of years - in some cases, thousands. However, due to rapid population growth and development of certain regions of the world, town and cities are established rapidly - some in the space of a few years. Through significant advances in computer simulation to provide tools that enable an entire community - including planners - to consider, evaluate and implement current requirements while modelling future scenarios. Moreover, this simulation of thousands of complex variables may include, for example, balancing aesthetics with efficient use of capital - new methods to plan, design, manufacture, operate - and natural resources. It may include reducing our impact on the environment while creating places that increase social cohesion, or accelerating human interaction in education, health and employment to improve the quality of life for an ever greater percentage of our world population. However, people will remain the critical determining factor of how we interpret, implement and enhance our urban environments. Ultimately, they will decide how we retain the fundamental organic development of our cities that lead to their future sustainability. Towns and cities do not exist without their essential ingredient - their citizens. Tom Steinberg has revolutionised engagement between citizens and government with services such as FixMyStreet - empowering people to report things such as potholes and graffiti. Having started in the UK, it is now a global phenomenon. I'd like to see a city in which every occasion on which you received a public service was also an opportunity to get involved with the decision-making that determines the nature of that service. Let me give you an example. I have an old mattress I need to get rid of, so I go to the council website to find out how to do this. The council offers a disposal service, but it seems pretty expensive to me - £30. In my vision of a modern city, the page that tells me the cost will link to information on who made the decision to impose a charge, what reason was given, and who controls this decision in the future. The key word here is "opportunity". I don't think that people want to be repeatedly told that they should be good citizens, attending planning meetings seven days a week. But I do think that every moment of contact between me and the city government - every time I get on a publicly subsidised bus, or check the day of my bin collection - should be treated as an opportunity to engage me in the decisions that relate to that service, if I want. The technology required for this radical educational idea is as old as technology gets on the web - it's the humble link. The challenge is persuading politicians that it is healthy for more local people to understand how decisions are made. Carlo Ratti heads up Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Senseable Cities Lab, which aims to study the ways cities are transforming themselves using sensors and electronic systems. If we could design a city from scratch... we would not do it! Since their emergence around 10,000 years ago, cities have always been the outcome of a collaborative, bottom-up process. The "urbs"- as Romans would call the physical form of the city - was nothing other than the result of the "civitas", the community of the citizen. Even when Romans needed to plan a new city, they did little more than laying out the main axes and parcelling the land, leaving it up to the individuals to take action. The idea that an architect could design a city from scratch, in a top-down way, is relatively new. It embodies both the 19th Century dream of the artist with unbound freedom and imagination and the egotistic vision of the 20th Century architect; something that resembles Howard Rourke - Ayn Rand's main character in The Fountainhead - who proclaimed that "the first right is the right of the ego". It also responds to the rapid expansion urbanisation of the past 100 years that often leads governments to call for quick solutions for human settlement. Architectural exemplars of the limitations of such an approach stand out in the dullness of Brasilia and the rigidity of Chandigarh. In fact, as Christopher Alexander reminded us, a good city cannot be designed in a top-down fashion. Spaces and fluxes overlap and intertwine in our interaction with the city, which can only be shaped through a distributed, bottom-up process. A chaotic self-organising movement, which resembles what we have seen during the Arab Spring and its fostering of new forms of participation, is rising in unexpected ways and with unknown consequence. Can these very forms, supported by social media and new technologies, now extend to urban design and planning? Could this be the beginning of a new urban spring? OK, so they aren't experts but my children are the future citizens of such cities and have some interesting ideas about where they want to live. Archie: If I could design a city the cars would run on water instead of fuel and would be driven automatically so that you could just sit back and enjoy the ride. There would also be lots of huge buildings that lots and lots of people could work in. In the city centre there would be an extraordinarily big shopping centre with everything you could possibly need. As well as that, there would be little shops dotted around for certain things. Everybody would exercise to keep themselves healthy. Lily: If I could design a city from scratch I would have a swimming pool on trees filled with sweets and chocolate. Also, I would have flying cars. I would have schools that you play in all day and you would have offices that grown-ups can take their children into to watch TV all day. At the centre of the town there would be shops and there would be a Santa's workshop for whenever you wanted to make something. It would be Christmas every day. We have been asking you for your visions of the future for the BBC's What If Competition and many of you have been imagining how cities will look. You can see some of your visions and find out how to enter yourself and possibly win a top-of-the-line-laptop. England are just one match away from lifting the cup - so here's everything you need to know before the big day. England will play either India or Australia on Sunday. The match will be held at Lord's, which is a famous cricket ground in London. Tickets have sold out, with 26,500 fans expected to attend. Heather Knight She's England's captain and a ferocious batsman. Heather was also part of the world record-breaking team that played the highest ever game of cricket on Mount Kilimanjaro. Anya Shrubsole Anya is England's vice-captain and is a strong bowler - but her batting also came in pretty useful at the semi-finals. She made the winning runs against South Africa to edge England into the final. Sarah Taylor For wicketkeeper Sarah, just making it to the tournament was a big deal. She's been suffering from anxiety over the past year. She had a great semi-final against South Africa, notably speedily stumping their batsman Trisha Chetty. Take a big breath - because there are loads! In a nutshell, there are 11 players in a cricket team. One team bats, the other bowls and fields. Then they swap over. A player called a bowler carries the ball towards two sets of wooden sticks called stumps, which are 22 yards (20 metres) apart at either end of a piece of ground called the wicket. The bowler's job is to then throw the ball, aiming it one set of stumps, hoping it will hit them and knock tiny pieces of wood, called bails, off the top of them. A player from the opposing team - called a batsman - stands to one side of the stumps the bowler is aiming at, waiting for them to throw the ball. The batsman tries to stop the ball hitting the stumps, using a piece of wood called a bat. There are a few ways of getting out, which can get complicated! The fielding team could hit the stumps with the ball while you are batting, or they could catch the ball you have hit. There's also the LBW (leg-before-wicket). The batsman is not allowed to use their legs to stop the ball hitting the wicket. If they do, and the umpire (cricket referee) thinks the ball would have hit the stumps, the player is out LBW. The 10 members of the fielding team who are not bowling stand around the field and try to stop the batting team scoring runs. Batsman bat in pairs, so one stands at the stumps the bowler is bowling at, and the other stands at the opposite end. When a batsman is out one of his teammates replaces him, until 10 players are out and only one is left, at this point the team is 'all out'. Since the last player is not allowed to bat on their own, the batting team have to stop and the teams swap. Bowlers bowl the ball in sets of six, called overs. Batsman stay in and try to score runs until they are got out by the fielding team. The batting team's turn to score runs is called an 'innings'. In a game, each team has the same number of innings, and the team with the most runs, wins.

The US has moved Patriot missiles and F-16 fighter jets to Jordan, officially as part of an annual exercise. Russia opposes any foreign military intervention in the Syrian conflict. The uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, which began in 2011, has left an estimated 93,000 people dead. Will US arms fix Syrian problem?Obama's half-hearted Syria shift "There have been leaks from Western media regarding the serious consideration to create a no-fly zone over Syria through the deployment of Patriot anti-aircraft missiles and F-16 jets in Jordan," said Mr Lavrov, speaking at a joint news conference in Moscow with his Italian counterpart. "You don't have to be a great expert to understand that this will violate international law," he said. Mr Lavrov also said evidence presented by the US of chemical weapons use in Syria apparently did not meet reliability criteria set out by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. The US administration said earlier this week that it would give lethal aid to the Syrian rebels in light of evidence that President Assad's forces had used chemical weapons in the civil war. The support of the West's regional allies, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, helped the rebels after the uprising became militarised. But the tide turned after the Syrian government turned to Moscow and Tehran for help. Hezbollah fighters from Lebanon have also been involved in a recent government's counter-offensive that resulted in the recapture of the strategically important town of Qusair. On Friday, Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah promised the group would keep fighting in Syria "wherever needed". The party leader Alasdair McDonnell said it was astonishing that just 37% of what Northern Ireland produced came out of the private sector. The SDLP said it wants this policy to be taken as seriously as the peace process. Mr McDonnell added that Northern Ireland was not economically viable. Speaking at the launch, he said the party wants to agree up-front investment in roads, schools, universities and hospitals as part of a plan to wean society off subsidies. He said: "The SDLP is offering a simple choice - prosperity not austerity. "We have a choice. We can choose further austerity or choose a prosperity process." Main pledges Policy guide: Where the parties stand The smaller of the two nationalist parties standing in Northern Ireland, the SDLP said it will argue for greater economic powers, including the ability to issue bonds to support infrastructure projects. It wants the minimum wage to be set by the Stormont executive, and to have control over energy and natural resources. It reaffirmed its commitment to a united Ireland, but says that in any new arrangement the Stormont assembly should remain, as should health and education provision for the most vulnerable. The party also pledged to set up a Scottish-style commission on devolving fiscal powers to Northern Ireland during the next parliament. Mr McDonnell said: "Through this mechanism, Scotland has succeeded in winning the argument to allow them to borrow money and issue their own bonds. "The same powers should be extended to Northern Ireland to enable us to stimulate our private sector through infrastructure projects." The SDLP envisages a united Ireland as a merger between two equal partners. The manifesto does not outline what the cost of the prosperity process might be, but it is understood that it would require more money from the treasury to pay for what is an ambitious spending plan. The party also ruled out supporting the Conservative Party in the event of a hung parliament in May's General Election. The SDLP's other policies include: The transactions, in 2010 and 2011, led to a solicitor being struck off by the Law Society of Scotland. It referred the case to the Crown Office, which has instructed the police investigation. The Edinburgh West MP has denied any wrongdoing but has withdrawn from the party whip. The BBC understands the initial police inquiries will not involve Ms Thomson, who was the party's business spokeswoman at Westminster. The investigation relates to solicitor Christopher Hales who was struck of last year for professional misconduct. He did work for Ms Thomson and it has now emerged that all 13 of the transactions he was struck off for involved her or M&F Property Solutions, a firm in which she was said to be a partner. After a hearing in May 2014, the Scottish Solicitors' Discipline Tribunal said Mr Hales failed to provide mortgage companies with key information used to prevent fraud and must have been aware that there was a possibility he was facilitating mortgage fraud, whether or not it occurred. In some cases, loans obtained for the properties were greater than the actual purchase price. Official documents from the hearing set out Ms Thomson's role in the mortgage deals. The Law Society said it first raised the case "informally" with the Crown Office in December last year but then made a formal referral in July 2015. In a statement released on Tuesday evening, Ms Thomson said she would "cooperate fully" with the police inquiry if she was required to do so. She added: "I have always acted within the law and look forward to being cleared of any wrong doing. "I have this afternoon decided to withdraw from the party whip whilst an investigation takes place. "Once the investigation is concluded I look forward to returning to play a full role in party activities." Her withdrawal from the whip means she is no longer a member of the parliamentary party and will not speak for the SNP on business issues at Westminster. An SNP spokesperson added: "In line with party rules Michelle Thomson's decision to withdraw from the party whip means her party membership is also suspended." Analysis by Glenn Campbell, BBC Scotland political correspondent What a difference a minute makes. At 18:22 the SNP issued a statement on behalf of Michelle Thomson MP. It confirmed that she would not represent the party while the police investigate property transactions carried out on her behalf. The statement reads: "I am aware of the police investigation and will cooperate fully if required to do so. I have always acted within the law and look forward to being cleared of any wrong doing. I have this afternoon decided to withdraw from the party whip whilst an investigation takes place. Once the investigation is concluded I look forward to returning to play a full role in party activities. I will be making no further comment on this matter." Yet just one minute earlier, at 18:21, a statement issued by Michelle Thomson's personal media adviser made no mention of her stepping down from SNP duties. It reads: "I am aware of the police investigation and will cooperate fully if asked to do so. I have always acted within the law and look forward to being cleared of any suggestion of wrongdoing. I will be making no further comment on this matter." Makes you wonder whether she really did jump or was she pushed? Either way, she is no longer the SNP's business, innovation and skills spokesperson at Westminster. Ms Thomson, a prominent figure in the pro-independence campaign group Business For Scotland ahead of last September's referendum, is reported to have built up a large "buy to let" property portfolio. She was one of 56 SNP MPs elected to Westminster in the general election in May after winning the seat of Edinburgh West and was appointed the party's spokesperson for business, innovation and skills. Opposition parties have now called for the SNP to reveal how much was known about her business dealings. A Labour spokesperson said: "It is now vital that the SNP come clean about this situation, and who knew what, when. "The first minister and senior SNP party officials have serious questions to answer. Did Nicola Sturgeon know about these allegations before Michelle Thomson was approved as a SNP candidate for the general election? "When did senior SNP officials first become aware of the allegations and did they investigate them? "Michelle Thomson was vetted by the SNP and deemed to be an acceptable candidate for an election. Senior cabinet ministers have backed her citing her business dealings. Now she is withdrawing from the party whip, and resigning from the SNP as an investigation takes place." Scottish Conservative chief whip John Lamont said: ‎"Having tried to ignore these serious allegations for 48 hours, the SNP has hit the panic button. "The SNP needs to explain very clearly what they knew about Ms Thomson's business dealing and whether they were aware of her connection to these property deals when she was being selected. "The SNP promised a new politics at Westminster. It has taken a matter of weeks for their shine to wear off." Deputy First Minister John Swinney said: "It is important that any allegations that are put forward in this matter are fully and comprehensively answered by Michelle Thomson." A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Police Scotland can confirm that as a result of a complaint from the Scottish Solicitors' Disciplinary Tribunal, it has been instructed by the Crown Office to carry out an initial investigation into alleged irregularities relating to property deals in the year 2010-2011." Lorna Jack, chief executive of the Law Society of Scotland, said: "If the Law Society has concerns about any potential criminal matter arising from a SSDT finding, it will refer the matter to the appropriate authorities. "In the case of Christopher Hales, we first raised this informally with the Crown Office in December 2014. Our Guarantee Fund sub-committee referred it formally to the Crown Office in July 2015." Officers searched a property in Argyle Street in the Finnieston area of the city. The search took place at about 18:00 on Tuesday, 14 April. Four men aged 25, 28, 30 and 34 have been arrested in connection with drug offences. Detective Inspector Alasdair Anderson said: "We will continue to detect and disrupt the activities of those who engage in serious and organised crime." He added: "Police will always act on intelligence received to crack down on drugs in our communities. This seizure demonstrates that commitment." Ethnic clashes last month left at least 300 people dead and threatened to revive a civil war that has killed tens of thousands. A 12,000-strong UN mission in South Sudan was unable to prevent attacks. The announcement was made by the East African regional body, Igad, and confirmed by South Sudan cabinet minister Dr Martin Elia Lomuro. President Salva Kiir had previously dismissed the idea of an additional force. The proposal for a new unit in South Sudan was backed by the African Union and discussed at a meeting in Ethiopia of Igad - the Intergovernmental Authority on Development. But much of the details of the force remain unclear. Igad sources have suggested a new force should have a more far-reaching mandate than the existing peacekeeping mission. But after the meeting, South Sudan's Minister of Cabinet Affairs Martin Elia Lomuro told the BBC further talks were needed to discuss the mandate, size and timeline for any force. Correspondents say the group of soldiers from different African countries is likely to be modelled on a similar unit deployed in the Democratic Republic of Congo to combat rebels from the M23 group. Last week, President Kiir removed Riek Machar as first vice-president, two weeks after the rival leaders' forces clashed in the capital. The two had backed a peace deal signed in the wake of violence in recent years. In the wake of the latest fighting, Mr Machar's spokesman told AFP news agency that "the only hope is a protection force". The BBC's Emmanuel Igunza, reporting from the region, said it was also agreed at the Igad meeting that the newly appointed vice-president, Taban Deng, would step down from his position if Mr Machar agreed to return to Juba to rejoin the transitional government. Mr Machar had previously said he would stay away unless a neutral African force was deployed there. South Sudan became independent from Sudan in 2011 but its short history has been marred by civil war. Luke Willmott, who was captain of Derby RFC, was caught when 180 vials of Jintropin addressed to him were seized by border controls in 2013. The Rugby Football Union gave him a five-year ban in 2015, later reduced to two on appeal. The World Anti-Doping Agency and World Rugby appealed that decision to Cas. The ban is backdated to August 2013, meaning Willmott is banned from all competitive sport until 15 August this year. "Trafficking is a very serious offence under the world anti-doping code," the RFU said in a statement. "As a union, we advocated for a ban of at least four years and support the increase from the decision of the RFU anti-doping appeal panel. "Players should be aware that all doping offences will be treated seriously, irrespective of what level you play at." Police said he had been in a Volkswagen car when a motorcyclist with a passenger pulled up alongside in Wellesley Road and fired shots. He was taken to hospital by the driver of the car who suffered minor injuries but died on arrival. Officers said they were alerted after the man arrived at hospital shortly after 22:00 BST on Friday. No arrests have yet been made. Manley finished joint second at the Johannesburg Open on Sunday to earn an Open debut at Royal Birkdale from 20 to 23 July, 2017. "I want to go there and try and compete against the world's best," the 38-year-old said. "The prize money on offer is fantastic and that could go a long way to securing my card for the 2018 season." Even playing at the Royal Birkdale course will be a first for the player who turned professional in 2003. Manley has "no knowledge whatsoever" of the Royal Birkdale links. "I've never played it. I've heard great reports," he added. "I'm going to go up in a few weeks time. I've got a couple of weeks off now and I'm going to do a couple of practice rounds to get a feel for it and prepare myself for July."

Private housebuilding in England has been falling amid the uncertainty of the referendum campaign and there are already industry reports of a reduction in new commercial activity since the vote. "Uncertain times call for pragmatism and flexibility," the chief executive of the National Housing Federation (NHF), David Orr, said on Monday. "Today, the sector puts forward a plan of action for the prime minister to keep the nation building and tackle the housing crisis. It is a plan that comes at no extra cost to the taxpayer and one that will improve the life chances of hundreds of thousands of working people in this country." Housing associations are arguing that they be allowed to use some of the £7bn set aside for government discounted starter homes and shared ownership schemes to build affordable homes to rent or buy. This, they argue, will keep Britain building during the construction downturn. The call comes just days after a report from the House of Lords Economics Affairs Committee also recommended local authorities and housing associations be "freed to build substantial numbers of homes for rent and for sale" to tackle the housing crisis. The consultancy Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) suggests a construction slowdown may be on the horizon. In analysis for the NHF, it warns that a 2008-type downturn would wipe out more than a third of GDP growth and cost almost 120,000 jobs in the next decade. Brexit and housing: Radical ideas wanted Five changes to your finances following the vote Why can't Britain build enough homes to meet demand? How will the extension of Right to Buy actually work? The NHF, which represents housing associations, points out that their members increased their output by 22% during the last recession, as private development dropped 37%. But that increase could only happen because central government provided grant support for social and affordable rented housing, money currently focused almost exclusively on homes for sale. Billions have been allocated to encourage largely private developers to offer discounted starter homes for first-time buyers and shared ownership products. The new ministerial team now responsible for housing in England will want to take time to consider the proposal. Housing Minister Gavin Barwell told the Commons on Monday that decisions on affordable housing will be made by the chancellor in his Budget, but conceded that a powerful case had been made for further investment in both homes for rent as well as sale. "We need a mix of tenures - a mix of offers," he said. In the Queen's Speech in May, the government gave a commitment to build a million new homes by 2020. Now, the fear is that commercial builders will be much more reluctant to take the risk on new development. Two brickworks in Lancashire have announced plans to turn off their kilns until the prospects improve, usually a sign of an impending downturn. The increase in supply, desperately needed to deal with the housing shortage, looks unlikely to happen without a change of tack. Figures from the Office for National Statistics released on Monday show the average house in the UK now costs a record £211,000, up 8.1% on a year ago. Private housebuilding supports around a quarter of a million jobs and is worth around £30bn to the economy annually. Ministers know that a big fall in construction activity would slow economic growth and could see the UK fall into a recession. The NHF, along with the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH), are suggesting to ministers that £4.7bn of planned funding for shared ownership and supported housing, along with £2.3bn available to clean up brownfield sites for starter homes, should be switched to building 300,000 affordable homes, including social housing. "Local authorities and housing associations are not dependent on shareholder sentiment and are able to keep housing supply going when the private sector stalls without requiring extra government spending," CIH director of policy Gavin Smart said on Tuesday. "They are ready and able to work with government to make sure we keep housebuilding going." Insp Tony Lumb, based in Brighton, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and has been suspended. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it was investigating the nature of any contact between Mr Lumb and the women. The IPCC is appealing for any women who may have been involved with Mr Lumb to come forward. A spokesman said: "These are clearly serious allegations that require an independent investigation. "Allegations that an officer may have been using his role to form relationships with women will be of concern to the community and it was necessary to take the investigative step of arresting him and conducting searches." He said: "IPCC investigators made a search of the man's workplace and home and have also attempted to contact some of the women concerned. "The IPCC has also launched a witness appeal." Assistant chief constable of Sussex Police, Steve Barry Police, said: "Vulnerable victims must be able to trust those they turn to for help. "We take any report of inappropriate behaviour extremely seriously," Mr Lumb has been released on bail. The CCTV shows the couple walking into a budget restaurant in the final moments before Anni Dewani was killed. Taxi driver Zola Tongo, who claimed he discussed the murder on the phone with Mr Dewani while in the restaurant, is seen leading them inside. Mr Dewani denies arranging his wife's murder. Tongo claims Mr Dewani paid him to arrange his wife's killing which took place in the back of his taxi later that evening. He said businessman Mr Dewani, from Bristol, offered him about $2,100 (£1,340) to set up the carjacking in Gugulethu township near Cape town in November 2010. Tongo was sentenced to 18 years following a plea bargain for his part in the murder, while accomplices Xolile Mngeni and Mziwamadoda Qwabe were also jailed. Mngeni has since died. In the latest footage shown to the court on Wednesday, Mr Dewani can be seen on his own outside the restaurant talking on his mobile phone. Phone records show he was talking to Tongo. The taxi driver told the court Mngeni and Qwabe "wanted to know where would the money be". "He [Mr Dewani] said he has put the money in the pouch behind the seat," Tongo said. Mr Dewani has claimed the money was not to pay for his wife's murder but to pay for a helicopter ride for the pair. Tongo told the court how he tried to sell himself as a tour guide to the Dewanis and claimed they never told him they were on their honeymoon. He admitted he had made several mistakes in statements given to police after Mrs Dewani's death. Shrien Dewani's defence team highlighted inconsistencies in Tongo's account of events on both the day before and on the day of Anni Dewani's murder. Discrepancies included Tongo's account of when the alleged conversation between him and Mr Dewani to "arrange" the killing had actually taken place. The defence also questioned why Tongo said Mr Dewani told him he would pay him for the killing in South African Rand, having claimed Mr Dewani only had US dollars. On Tuesday, Western Cape High Court was shown CCTV footage of Mr Dewani and Tongo meeting to exchange a package. The court heard Tongo could be released after serving nine years of his 18-year sentence. Premier League clubs recently held initial talks on the possibility of introducing safe standing at grounds. Top flight and Championship stadiums have had to be all-seater since terraces were outlawed in the aftermath of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster. Safe-standing areas, featuring retractable seats, are used at Celtic and abroad, notably in Germany. Premier League chiefs have acknowledged a "softening" around the topic of standing clubs, with an improved atmosphere cited as one of the benefits, and clubs have agreed to hold further talks in the new year. But some clubs - including Everton - are against it and it would need government legislation to change if safe standing was introduced at stadiums in England. United contacted season-ticket holders on Thursday and included the question in a 20-point survey. Supporters were asked for the three areas of Old Trafford - the biggest club ground in the UK, with a capacity of 75,635 - that they would prefer standing to be introduced. It is believed to be the first time a Premier League club has surveyed its fans about the idea of bringing standing back to English grounds. Jon Darch, who runs the Safe Standing Roadshow, which promotes the use of rail seats, said: "I am sure that the level of interest will be huge and look forward both to hearing the results and to seeing other Premier League clubs follow suit and ask their fans if they would also like to be formally allowed to stand at games in dedicated areas of rail seating, specifically designed for safe standing." The Hillsborough disaster in 1989 resulted in the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans following crushing on the terraces. There have been no standing areas at Old Trafford since 1994. Senior United officials went to Celtic Park in October to inspect the 4,000-capacity rail seating that has been used at Scotland's biggest club ground since July. While many fans have championed the cause of safe standing, it has strong opposition from the Hillsborough Support Group who, last month, said the return of standing would be a "backward step". The Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) sees it join foods such as Arbroath smokies and Stornoway black pudding in the assurance that consumers are buying a genuine product. The company said it was "delighted". Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "It's superb news that Orkney Scottish Island Cheddar now holds this protected status." General manager Tim Deakin said Orkney Cheddar was produced with locally-sourced milk, and using a traditional recipe and process. He said the techniques of those who created the cheese in 1946 had been passed down through the generations. "The accreditation communicates to our consumers the uniqueness and heritage of Orkney Scottish Island Cheddar, which differs from other traditional cheddars," he said. The Secretary of State for Scotland, Alistair Carmichael, said: "Orkney's cheese making industry has a long history and is regarded as a symbol of excellence. This news provides valuable protection for one of the island's most loved products." They are urging meteorologists to include the less saline water in their weather forecasting models. Meteorology officials in South Asia admit they have been slow to consider the role of fresh waters. They are already struggling to forecast monsoon rains due to a range of factors including climate change. Monsoons account for 70% of the rainfall in India and neighbouring countries between June and September. But longer dry periods and heavy rainfall within a short space of time during monsoon season in recent years have caused concern in South Asia. And this is already being seen this year, with higher rainfall than normal in June - whereas July and August are predicted to have lower than normal rainfall. Some meteorologists based in the region believe the freshwater element could be a vital missing link. Major rivers such as the Ganges, Bramhaputra and Irrawaddy flow into the Bay of Bengal. A team of international scientists are currently researching the issue. "Freshwater inputs from both rivers and a large amount of rainfall make the Bay of Bengal a rather unique place, and that is not properly being taken into account in the monsoon forecast models," said Professor Eric A. D'Asaro, an oceanographer at the University of Washington, who has been researching the Bay of Bengal with scientists from India and the US. "And that's one of the reasons they are not able to forecast what are known as monsoon breaks - in other words the variations on monthly time scales through the monsoon season. "The fresh water makes the surface layer of the ocean water much thinner and lighter and that reacts with the monsoon clouds more strongly whereas saline water would do so more slowly and that would have less effects on the monsoons." Researchers with the Ocean Mixing and Monsoon project say they have found a "sharp separation between river water and seawater on scales ranging from 100m to 20km". The deputy director general of Bangladesh's Meteorology Department, Shamshuddin Ahmed, is receptive to the research. Their monsoon prediction model is currently based on the speed of wind, its direction and the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere. "I am not aware of any modelling in our region that considers the role of fresh waters in shaping the monsoon," said Mr Ahmed. "But I think for accurate long-range monsoon predictions, we need to do some serious studies on fresh waters and get it in our models." Pakistan's meteorological officials said they downgrade the data from the global model and look for the sea surface temperature to predict monsoon rains for their country. They admit fresh water is not something they look into even when they are using the sea surface temperature. Around 60% of the total rainfall in Pakistan comes from the Indian monsoon, while the remaining rains are from winter monsoons from the Arabian sea between December and February. "It's not just scientists from Pakistan but from the entire South Asia region who are not familiar with the fresh water concept and we need to take it into account," said Mohammed Hanif, a director with Pakistan's meteorological department. Scientists with the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, an autonomous body, agree that their models need to be updated, factoring in the interaction between fresh waters and the monsoon. However, the head of the Indian government's meteorology department, LS Rathore, said the issue was still unclear. "Sea surface temperature certainly effects monsoon circulation but that has more bearing on the long term. "So far, there is a very hazy kind of understanding on this subject: let research make things clearer first." But scientists say even if countries around the Bay of Bengal really wanted to factor fresh water into their monsoon prediction models, detailed data was not available. "At present we only have long-term mean data on the river discharge and we have no data for year-to-year variability because of the sensitivities between countries in the region," says Professor BN Goswami, an Indian climatologist involved in the research project in the Bay of Bengal. "The year-to-year variability data for fresh water inputs into the ocean will be very important to understand their influence on the monsoon." Sharing of water resources data has been a contentious issue between India and its neighbours for years. "The countries will have to reach an understanding if they really want to understand what fresh water is doing to the salinity of the ocean and the monsoon systems," said Professor Goswami. They will be officially designated and listed to give them added protection with closure being a last resort. Kirsty Williams said it should only be considered once alternatives and impact on communities have been explored. Ms Williams said rural schools were "at the heart of community life" and should get "a fair hearing". Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Powys, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Monmouthshire are classed as the more rural of the 22 local authority areas, according to statisticians. Hard-pressed councils have prompted anger in recent years by closing smaller schools in less heavily-populated areas to tackle surplus places. But the minister, inviting consultation on changes to the School Organisation Code, said alternatives to closure should be considered, such as federation with other schools. Authorities will have to assess the likely impact of a school's closure on children's education, the wider community, and travel arrangements, and explain why closure is the "most appropriate" course of action. To increase community involvement in decisions, consultations should be published on a school day while any new alternatives to closure arising during the process should be given consideration. Ms Williams pointed to "unique issues" facing rural schools and she wants to ensure children that attend them have the same opportunities as those in other areas. "These proposals strengthen the School Organisation Code to make sure that councils and other proposers do everything they can to keep a rural school open before deciding to consult on closure.," she added. She believes "talking and engaging with the local community is vital". "If there is a consultation to close a school, all options and suggestions that emerge form this must be considered before a decision is made. This might include federation with other schools or increasing the community use of school buildings to make the school more viable," Ms Williams added. "Rural schools are at the heart of community life. I therefore want to make sure these schools get a fair hearing when their future is being considered. "These plans will play a key part in our national mission to raise standards and offer opportunities to all our young people." The policy was part of the agreement which saw Ms Williams, the only Liberal Democrat AM, join the Welsh Government as education secretary after the 2016 assembly elections. Buddug Ellis, head teacher of Ysgol Bro Elwern in Denbighshire, welcomed the new rules but questioned the wording. Her school was under threat of closure in the past and it is now a federated school. She said: "Unfortunately, it doesn't really say what the assembly means by a small school. "One with 30, 40, 50 pupils or possibly a school of 100 to 150 pupils? "That's unclear. But obviously it gives schools some sort of security for the future." Council applications for cash under a new £2.5m small and rural schools grant scheme are currently being assessed. Plaid Cymru education spokesman Llyr Gruffydd welcomed the offer to give communities a "stronger voice" in the process. But he added: "If the government wants to keep smaller schools open, they must also recognise the additional cost to councils at a time of austerity and cuts." Welsh Conservative spokesman Darren Millar added that the measures would "do little to undo the harm already caused and do nothing to address the perennial issue of underfunding which is biggest obstacle to keeping rural schools open". Prof David Reynolds, head of education at Swansea University and a former Welsh Government advisor, welcomed the new guidance saying schools "don't have to be huge to be good". "We've closed hundreds of schools in Wales," he said. "Sometimes they've been the very, very small ones - five, 10, 20 pupils, that's more defensible. "But there are lots of very good schools out there of 30 to 35 pupils that we should support." The company's share price fell more than 13% to an eight-month low. The board said that Mr Boire, who was only appointed in September 2015, was "not a good fit". Barnes & Noble has struggled to maintain its hold in the US market amid new technology and stiff competition from Amazon. In a statement, Barnes & Noble said: "The board of directors determined that Mr Boire was not a good fit for the organisation and that it was in the best interests of all parties for him to leave the company". Leonard Riggio, the company's executive chairman and one of its founders, will fill in while Barnes & Noble looks for a full-time replacement. Mr Riggio was scheduled to retire but will remain with the company until a new leader is found. The company said it would begin its search for a new chief executive immediately. "This [ousting of Mr Boire] was a major surprise," said John Tinker, senior research analyst at Gabelli & Company. He said the new chief executive would need a wide set of skills to manage the changes facing Barnes & Noble. In June, Mr Boire held a meeting with shareholders in which he laid out the company's strategic plan for the next few years - including new store concepts with expanded restaurants with waiter service. "It's a tricky role," said Mr Tinker, "you're a retailer but you have to have a digital strategy for competing against Amazon, you have to understand consumers trends and now with the restaurants, you'll need to understand that that industry." The departure of Mr Boire has raised questions about the company's ability to manage the challenges facing the business. Over the last two years, Barnes & Noble's sales have fallen as it loses out to lower prices from rivals such as Amazon. Amazon's Kindle e-reader has also outperformed Barnes & Noble's Nook, which the company is phasing out due to its poor performance. Sales for the Nook, both the content and device itself, dropped 27.4% in the 2016 fiscal year, which ended in April. Barnes & Noble operates 640 stores in the US. At its peak in the early 2000s there were around 800. Once a new boss is found, Barnes & Noble will have had five chief executives in just four years. Rochdale could have taken the lead in the sixth minute after Ian Henderson's mazy run was blocked by Jordan Willis' last-ditch tackle. Keith Hill's Dale side kept up the pressure and Callum Camps tested Lee Burge with a 30-yard free-kick. But Coventry opened the scoring after 28 minutes through striker Daniel Agyei, who had hit the post nine minutes earlier. Rochdale had the better of the second half and Matthew Lund's 52nd-minute header was cleared off the line by Gael Bigirimana. Despite offering very little in the second half, Andre Wright made sure of the points for Coventry in the 84th minute as he tapped home a cross from Lewis Page.

The man, wearing earphones and using a tablet, then walked out of the store at 15:45 BST on 29 July. Police said they were still searching for the man, described as being in his mid 20s or 30s, Asian and of slim build. A 22-year-old woman has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud. UN investigators say the payments by Soma Oil & Gas amount in some cases to "acts that undermine Somali public institutions through corruption". The Serious Fraud Office has launched an investigation into the allegations. The firm, which is chaired by former Conservative Party leader Michael Howard, denies any wrongdoing. The report details payments totalling $490,000 (£315,000) from Soma Oil & Gas to the Somali Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, beginning in June 2014. The money was part of a "capacity building programme" which was ostensibly intended to cover the salaries of a small number of experts, including geologists and geoscientists. In reality though, the United Nations investigators say the scheme appears to have been used to "fund systematic payoffs to senior ministerial officials", some of whom were "instrumental in both securing the company's initial contract, and negotiating subsequent agreements". One recipient of money under the scheme was Dr Farah Abdi Hassan, the director general of the ministry. He received $36,000 (£23,000) over a period of 12 months - about three times his Somali government salary, which investigators say he continued to draw. The report claims that Mr Hassan suggested in emails that Soma's contractual agreements with the government - both past and prospective - could be subject to review if financial "assistance" was not forthcoming. In one email, dated 27 March 2014, he writes: "If the Soma questions the assistance [to] the ministry then so many things goes [sic] to review, while the parliament is asking to ratify the SOA agreement." "SOA" refers to the seismic option agreement, the deal signed in August 2013, which grants the company exclusive rights to conduct an offshore seismic survey, and then bid for up to 12 oil and gas blocks. Another email, written on 17 April 2014 to two of Soma's directors, appears to suggest that signing off on the capacity building programme - referred to as an "amendment" - could protect the Soma deal from official review. "Why don't you sign the amendment and return, because, I'm sure it will protect the agreement." Soma Oil and Gas says it is "confident that there is no basis to the allegation", and that the company is co-operating fully with the Serious Fraud Office. It told Newsnight that the UN investigators had "fundamentally misunderstood" the nature of the payments. In a statement it said: "No person involved in the capacity building agreement programme was, or is, in a position to influence the decision to grant any commercial agreements for the benefit of Soma." It added: "Soma has always conducted its business in a completely lawful and ethical manner." The company said in a statement on Saturday that the SFO had confirmed that "no suspicion whatsoever attaches to Lord Howard". The deal, signed between Soma Oil & Gas and the Somali government in 2013, was the first - and so far only - contract to explore for oil since the country descended into civil war in the early 1990s. The extent of Somalia's oil and gas reserves are unknown, but some estimates put it at as much as 110 billion barrels - nearly half that of Saudi Arabia. The United Nations in 2013 called for a moratorium on oil deals, saying that, in the absence of a legal and regulatory framework to share energy resources, such agreements could fuel violence and corruption in a country still struggling with clan tensions and battling an Islamist insurgency. This story aired on Newsnight at 22:30 BST on Monday 3 August on BBC Two. Teri Goldstein said her Windows 7 computer had automatically tried to update itself to Windows 10 without her permission. She said the update had made her machine unstable, leaving her unable to use it to run her business. Microsoft said it had dropped its appeal to save on legal costs. Microsoft has been aggressively pushing the latest version of its widely used operating system, which is currently available as a free download for computers running Windows 7 and 8. However, many people have chosen not to upgrade, because they are running old hardware, have software that does not run on Windows 10, are concerned over the software's tracking features, or simply do not want it. In February, the company bundled Windows 10 in with its security updates and made it a "recommended update", which meant it was automatically downloaded and installed unless blocked by the user. Some people accused the company of trying to "trick" customers into installing the update. The Seattle Times reported that Ms Goldstein's computer had "slowed to a crawl" after the update, and Microsoft customer support had not fixed the problem. "I had never heard of Windows 10. Nobody ever asked me if I wanted to update," she told the newspaper. A total of 73% of charter flights left on time in 2014 compared with 77% in the previous year, while the average delay rose from 17 to 18 minutes. The punctuality of scheduled flights also dropped from 80% in 2013 to 79% last year. CAA policy director Iain Osborne said the figures were "disappointing" and urged the sector to do better. "The industry has had to deal with some unseasonably poor weather and a number of overseas air traffic control strikes, both beyond their control," he added. The average delay to scheduled flights last year was unchanged at 12 minutes. The statistics were gathered from 10 UK airports - Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, London City, Luton, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh. London City had the best punctuality record for scheduled flights last year, with 88% leaving on time. Only Newcastle, Manchester and Heathrow improved their records. On the most popular scheduled flight routes in and out of the UK, Billund in Denmark had the highest on-time performance, at 89% - Istanbul had the lowest figure, at 56%. Bangkok had the longest average scheduled flight delay, at 27 minutes, while Billund had the shortest, at six minutes. Mr Osborne said he hoped the industry would try to build on the successes of previous years and "improve punctuality performance further". It made $31.2m (£23.9m) in its first three days, following behind Christopher Nolan's war epic Dunkirk which took $50.5m (£38.8m). That makes it the biggest opening weekend for any live-action comedy this year. The film follows the story of four lifelong friends who re-unite for a weekend getaway in New Orleans. The fact it's an R-rated comedy fronted by four women makes its success even sweeter for Pinkett Smith and co-stars Queen Latifah, Regina Hall and newcomer Tiffany Haddish. "Laughter is universal, people love to laugh," Pinkett Smith told the BBC, commenting on the film's success. "One woman is every woman and the themes in the film are universal, even though we could be different ages and experience different things." She said she was delighted to see women of all races enjoying the film, adding: "As women, the things we care about and some of the things happening in our lives will be similar and that is the success of the movie." Girls Trip seems to have broken the R-rated curse following a summer of disappointing comedy films. Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler's The House, about a couple that start an underground casino to put their daughter through university, opened to just short of $9m (£7m). Baywatch also drowned over a public holiday weekend taking $18m (£13.8m) and a few weeks before that, Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn's Snatched was considered a box office flop with its $19.5m (£15m) opening. The last R-rated comedy to have been a worldwide sensation was The Hangover in 2009, which earned $45m (£34.5m) in its opening weekend in the US and $467m (£359m) worldwide. So what made Girls Trip immune to this comedy curse? Director Malcolm D Lee puts it down to a little sprinkle of what he calls "black girl magic". "Black girl magic is real - people want a piece of it, they want to see it, they want to be empowered by it," he told The Hollywood Reporter. Another film that was praised for its black girl magic was Oscar-nominated Hidden Figures, which told the story of a team of female African-American mathematicians who served a vital role in Nasa during the early years of the US space programme. After its opening weekend in 2016, its star Taraji P Henson - wrote on Instagram as it took the number one spot at the box office: "I have been told my entire career 'black women can't open films domestically or internationally'. Well, anything is possible." Lee also alluded to film's success in relation to his own movie saying: "Four black women can open a movie and it does not have to be about the space program. "Hidden Figures did extremely well and I'm extremely happy for that movie to have done that - it's unprecedented - but here we are for women who exist in real life and don't get an opportunity to see themselves like this." The success of films like Hidden Figures, Oscar-winning Moonlight and now Girls Trip always reignites the debate on social media about representation in film. "Here we have the opportunity to see ourselves not as maids, slaves or receptacles for casual misogynoir (misogyny directed towards black women), but as autonomous beings who experience the fullness of joy and unadulterated happiness," says British writer and producer Danielle Dash. "Girls Trip is important for black women because we are represented by women who look like us in roles that were written by people who look like us and other people we love." Whilst the success of directors and writers such as Get Out's Jordan Peele and Insecure's Issa Rae are important, the black experience in TV and film tends to be oversaturated by African-Americans, rather than coming from the British-black perspective. This could be one of the many reasons Michaela Coel's Chewing Gum was such a popular success - she took home two Baftas for her work on the show in 2016. Dash believes that when British TV and film industries give projects with black voices the same time and effort in development, the companies who commit to uplifting minority voices will reap the benefits financially. And Pinkett Smith couldn't agree more. "As much as we want the moral stakes to matter, it's a very profitable move," she says. "I think that it being a deeply unexplored area will make for a very creative project that people will have deep interest in. We constantly realise that in the States. "People are always interested in how other people live because some don't get to see that experience. You're really doing your creative culture a disservice by not highlighting those different cultures." Girls Trip will be released in the UK on 26 July.

Sale had hoped to extend Taylor's stay at the AJ Bell Stadium, with director of rugby Steve Diamond saying his exit would be a "disaster" for the club. The 24-year-old has scored five tries in 93 games for Sharks, having made his debut in 2011. Wasps director of rugby Dai Young said: "He is a young front row forward who has a bright future." Talking to the club website, 48-year-old Young continued: "He is a really exciting English prospect who has impressed in the Aviva Premiership and in Europe this season with his dynamic physicality." Sale have already acted to replace Taylor, with the club completing a deal to sign Bath and England hooker Rob Webber on a two-year deal from next season. Toffee, a Labrador Retriever, was last seen at Oxford railway station on Monday evening. Missing dog service DogLost said there had been thousands of shares online, including one by Graham Norton. Owner Ian Francis, who believes the dog is still in the Oxford area, said: "It's a great response, but there's still no sign of Toffee." DogLost described the outpouring of concern from the general public as "stunning". A spokesman said Toffee, which is microchipped, had either stowed away on a train or was still in the area of the station. Mr Francis, who is registered blind and also has heart problems, said Toffee, which is being trained as a cardiac alert dog, is normally always with him when he goes out. He said: "I was going through a depression, I wasn't going out enough... and Toffee, ever since I had him, absolutely comes everywhere with me. "When you bond with a dog, and you rely on a dog so much, you get this bond and it's unbreakable. The dog trusts you, you trust the dog. "It's unfortunate, but no one seems to have seen him, though Twitter has gone crazy, Facebook has gone crazy." Mr Francis believes if Toffee did not get on a train, then the dog could be in nearby Botley. "Something must have spooked him we think, because it's just not like Toffee, he's very, very shy," he said. "I'm pretty sure he would've found somewhere quiet, he will back away from people. He's out there somewhere." Vitaly Churkin died suddenly at work in his New York office last month. The office of the chief medical examiner said that details of his death were being withheld to comply with international law. Mr Churkin had served as ambassador to the UN since 2006. The cause of the veteran diplomat's death remains unclear. "The New York City Law Department has instructed the Office of Chief Medical Examiner to not publicly disclose the cause and manner of death of Ambassador Vitaly Churkin," a spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office, Julie Bolcer, said in a statement. "Ambassador Churkin's diplomatic immunity survives his death," the statement, which was posted online by New York Times reporter Michael Grynbaum, added. A state department official told the BBC that further comment or details on the results of the post-mortem could not be disclosed because of an agreement between the US and the UN. In a letter to the city's legal office, the United States's UN mission said the Russian government had already complained about statements made by city officials regarding Mr Churkin's medical history. Russian officials argued that the information was private and that disclosing details could cause embarrassment to the ambassador's family or hurt his reputation. They did not specify which reports the Russian government had cited. Last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was "grieved" to learn of the death of Mr Churkin, who had developed a reputation as a steadfast defender of Russian policy. The foreign ministry also paid tribute to an "outstanding diplomat". State TV channels Rossiya 24 praised Mr Churkin for "putting his opponents into shock" and leaving them with "nothing to say". Many of those "opponents" turned to social media to pay their respects to a colleague who they may have not always agreed with, but respected enormously. Mr Churkin, who was born in Moscow, dabbled in acting as a young teenager - appearing in two films about Vladimir Lenin - before attending the prestigious Moscow Institute of International Relations, eventually beginning a career in Russia's foreign ministry. Before taking up the position with the UN, he served as an envoy to Canada and Belgium, and as a special representative to the talks on former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. Durham resumed on 97-4, still 284 behind, and lost captain Paul Collingwood lbw to David Wiese in the second over without adding a run. James Weighell resisted with 58 before he was bowled by Jofra Archer (3-49). Vernon Philander finished the match after lunch with two wickets in two balls as Durham were all out for 204. When the last wicket fell, Ryan Pringle was left stranded on 38 having batted for 201 balls and more than four hours. Durham, who began the season on minus 48 points as a sanction for their financial problems, have now failed to win any of their opening three Division Two matches. Sussex's first four-day victory of the campaign was largely built around their mammoth first-innings total of 668 and a career-best 258 from Luke Wells, meaning Durham needed 381 just to make the hosts bat again. But after Collingwood went to just the 11th ball of the final morning for 31 his side faced an uphill battle to salvage a draw. Weighell struck 10 fours in his maiden first-class fifty before his 55-ball innings was ended when the pacy Archer sent his leg stump flying. Three overs later Philander dismissed Chris Rushworth and Graham Onions to end with 4-39 and leave Durham still on minus 30 points. Paramedics were called to John "Goldfinger" Palmer's Essex home to reports of a cardiac arrest on 24 June. But a post-mortem examination on 30 June revealed the 64-year-old convicted conman had been shot in the chest. Essex Police has referred itself to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). The force said police and paramedics who were called to Palmer's house in Sandpit Lane, South Weald, "initially assessed the death as non-suspicious due to pre-existing injuries due to recent surgery". "Closer inspection raised doubt and a post-mortem examination was conducted to establish the cause of death," he added. Earlier, the senior detective in charge of the murder investigation refused to comment on claims the case had been "bungled". Det Ch Insp Simon Werrett said his priority was to find whoever was responsible and he would not respond to allegations made by a former Metropolitan Police chief that the force had been "utterly incompetent". John O'Connor told The Sun: "It's one of the most terrible mistakes in policing I've ever heard of." 'The timeshare king' When asked if the crime scene had been compromised because of the delay in starting the murder investigation, Det Ch Insp Werrett said it was "challenging". "However, we do have a crime scene and we're deploying our specialist forensic and search officers around that crime scene," he said. The East of England Ambulance Service, whose crews went to Palmer's house in Sandpit Lane, said his death was not initially raised as suspicious. Essex Police is appealing for anyone who was in Sandpit Lane on the afternoon of 24 June to come forward. Palmer was jailed for eight years in 2001 for masterminding a timeshare fraud targeting people across the UK. He was cleared of handling proceeds from the 1983 Brinks Mat bullion raid at Heathrow Airport, but his alleged involvement earned him the nickname "Goldfinger". The performance was achieved on turnover of £239m, which was up by 11%. Liam Nagle, the chief executive officer, said it had been "another strong year, where we have seen increasing revenue in all regions". The firm specialises in veterinary medicines and is one of Northern Ireland's biggest exporters. Non-UK sales account for more than 80% of the firm's turnover. Five new products launched in the last year helping to drive business in the US and EU, up 16% and 24% respectively. Mr Nagle said the firm has started a "significant multi-year capital investment programme." It will include the upgrading and expansion of manufacturing facilities, new laboratories and the strengthening of IT infrastructure. Norbrook was founded by Lord Ballyedmond who died in a helicopter crash at his estate in Norfolk in 2014. His family continues to own the company, which employs some 2,000 people. Earlier this month, David Cameron announced an RAF-operated drone had killed two Britons linked to so-called Islamic State in Syria, describing the action as an "act of self defence". MP Caroline Lucas and Baroness Jones have now sought permission for a judicial review of the policy, claiming that "targeted killing" is unlawful. It is backed by campaigners Reprieve. Britain is participating in air strikes against IS fighters in Iraq, but not Syria - after the Commons refused to approve the action two years ago. But in what was the first targeted UK drone attack on a British citizen, Reyaad Khan, from Cardiff, and Ruhul Amin, from Aberdeen were killed by a remotely piloted aircraft on 21 August in Raqqa, Syria. Khan, the target of the strike, had been plotting "barbaric" attacks on UK soil, the prime minister told MPs in a statement. He insisted the action was lawful despite Parliament not having authorised airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Syria. He said the attorney general had been consulted and agreed there was a "clear legal basis" for the strike. But Ms Lucas and Baroness Jones - the party's sole representatives in Parliament - say there has been a lack of parliamentary scrutiny or approval of the policy and argue there have been conflicting and partial accounts of the justification in statements. In his statement to MPs on 7 September 2015, David Cameron also said: In a letter to the Ministry of Defence and the attorney general's office, they argue that the government has either failed to formulate a policy or, if it has a policy, failed to publish it. Either eventuality, they argue, is unlawful. "If any pre-authorised and targeted killing can be lawful, they must be carried out under a formulated and published Targeted Killing Policy which ensures transparency, clarity and accountability for such use of lethal force," the letter says. The drone strike is expected to be the subject of an investigation by the Intelligence and Security Committee of the House of Commons, now chaired by former Attorney General Dominic Grieve. Reprieve, an international human rights charity, said the government's justification of the strike effectively gave it "the power to kill anyone, anywhere in the world, without oversight or safeguards". "This is a huge step, and at the very least the prime minister should come clean about his new kill policy," said its legal director Kat Craig. She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it was effectively a "wholesale adoption" of the US government's "so-called targeted killing programme". The drone strikes have been backed by Conservative MPs, who said the individuals targeted posed a direct threat to national security. But Labour has called for the attorney general's advice to be published, something ministers say there is no precedent for. The claim: British holidaymakers would have to pay more to use their phones abroad if we left the European Union. Reality Check verdict: It's fair for the EU to take credit for the abolition of roaming charges next year, but we can't say that if the UK left the EU that British consumers wouldn't still benefit from the deal, or that prices would go up. Roaming charges are added by mobile operators for calls, texts and internet browsing when phone users are abroad. An EU regulation will abolish roaming charges in EU member states from 2017. Decreasing roaming charges is something that the European Commission has been working on for about a decade. Without the EU's institutions, it would have been very difficult to bring countries together to impose this, and the mobile telecoms companies themselves certainly didn't have much interest in it. "The UK led the charge," boasts a press release from Downing Street on Wednesday. But it's difficult for any single country to take the credit for the roaming measures, which were a joint initiative. As a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), Norway is part of the deal, but Switzerland is not, according to this answer to a European parliamentary question by the commission. If Britain votes to leave the EU, it's not a foregone conclusion that it will benefit from the EU deal to scrap roaming charges - but there could still be a deal to abolish them for Britons. And operators are free to lift tariffs. Read more: The facts behind claims in the EU debate The left-wing Farabundo Marti Liberation Liberation Front (FMLN) wants to allow abortion in cases of rape, risk to the mother's life or if the foetus is unviable. The practice is currently completely banned in El Salvador. The FMLN will need the support of an extra 12 lawmakers to pass the bill. The bill was backed by the president of Congress, Lorena Pena, who proposed that women whose life was at risk or those who had been raped or trafficked be allowed to end their pregnancy. "It's a duty of legislators to give women a chance to save their lives, so that they don't die in those circumstances. It [the bill] is also meant to take into account the impact giving birth has on girls who have been raped," she said. Opposition lawmaker Ricardo Velasquez Parker said the FMLN's proposal was an attempt to divert attention away from the financial problems of he government, which is facing a massive deficit. Mr Velasquez backs a rival bill which would have abortion punished with up to 50 years in jail, the same as aggravated murder. Under current Salvadorean law, anyone who is found to have "provoked, allowed or carried out an abortion" can be sentenced to between two and eight years in prison. El Salvador is not the only Latin American country with a strict abortion ban. Chile, the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua also do not allow abortions under any circumstances. 28 January 2016 Last updated at 19:09 GMT In response to claims that the MoD could not resource legacy cases, Lord Justice Weir said the MoD was not short of money as it was fighting wars across the world. The judge was examining a case of an alleged shoot to kill policy - and also the shooting dead of a father of six by a covert army unit in the early 1970s. Ita Dungan was in court. In internal documents seen by consumer programme X-Ray, customers claim they were sold a warranty even though they said they did not want one. Others say they were wrongly told they had to buy a warranty, the papers show. Currys said the documents are a record of why people cancelled a warranty and do not prove mis-selling. The firm said the papers reflect only a fraction of 1% of total sales. Staff who have spoken to the BBC on condition of anonymity say they are under intense pressure to sell warranties - and other extras like in-store set-ups for computers or cables for televisions. X-Ray asked one salesman if he had ever mis-sold a warranty. He said: "I have had to on occasions to keep my job. I have a family to feed. I have to keep my job." The internal documents seen by X-Ray document around 2,000 cases of potential mis-selling brought to the company's attention in a six-week period last year. The report features incidents at stores across the UK. In around 850 cases, customers said they were told - wrongly - that they had to take a warranty. In another 1,250 cases they either refused a warranty, but were sold one anyway, or were sold a warranty without being told about it. Prof Margaret Griffiths, a consumer law expert, said: "Companies are under an obligation to tell customers all the material information they need in order to make a proper informed decision. "If a company has deliberately withheld material information then that would be contrary to regulations as it would be a material omission. "That has the potential to be a criminal law offence." Other documents seen by the programme show that staff can be put on what's known as a "capability programme" if they fail to sell enough extras, like cables, warranties and set-up services. Some staff fear this could lead to them losing their jobs. One whistleblower, who held senior positions in Currys stores over a number of years said: "The guy who is asking all them questions and trying to sell you the warranty and all the add ons - his job is at risk if he doesn't do it." The company have strongly denied the allegations. It said that the internal report given to X-Ray lists various legitimate reasons why customers cancelled their warranties and not just cases of potential mis-selling. The firm said it uses this list to help staff identify issues with the sale of warranties and to address any problems with staff. And the claims of apparent mis-selling made by customers have not been proven. Currys added that these warranty cancellations actually account for a fraction of 1% its their total sales. The firm also stressed that staff are not rewarded for the inappropriate selling of warranties and add-ons. X-Ray is broadcast on BBC One Wales at 19:30 GMT on 25 March. It is also available on the BBX-Ray iC iPlayer from 24 March. Opposition leader Agathon Rwasa won 19% of the vote after his name was left on the ballot paper, despite a boycott. At least 70 people have been killed since Mr Nkurunziza announced in April he would run for a third term. The government accuses the opposition of provoking violent protests. Opponents says his bid was illegal, due to a limit of two terms in the constitution. Final, official results are expected at the end of next week. Turnout was more than 73%, higher than many analysts predicted, although it was significantly lower in the capital Bujumbura, where most of the protests have been. In an interview with the BBC after the declaration, Mr Rwasa described the elections results as "a joke". "These are results set up in the electoral commission... not those expressed by the voters," he said. Regional and international bodies have already said the conditions for credible and free elections were not met. The US State Department has joined critics saying the election lacks credibility. Who is Pierre Nkurunziza? Profile: Pierre Nkurunziza Why Burundi poll matters "Ten years of dictatorship is too much", Mr Rwasa told the BBC, citing alleged corruption and extrajudicial killings as reasons why many Burundians now want change. Mr Rwasa would not confirm whether he or other members of his opposition coalition Amizero y'Abarundi would be taking up the 30 seats they had been awarded in the parliamentary election, despite boycotting the vote. The African Union (AU) did not send observers - the first time it has taken such a stance against a member state. The US state department and the European Union expressed concern that the elections were not free and fair. In May, army generals opposed to President Nkurunziza's continuing rule failed to overthrow him in a coup attempt. Tensions between Burundi's ethnic Hutu majority - comprising some 85% of the 10.5 million population - and Tutsi minority have flared up regularly since independence from Belgium in 1962. Mr Nkurunziza led a Hutu rebel group fighting the Tutsi-dominated army until a peace deal led to him becoming president in 2005. The Constitutional Court backed his argument that his first term in office did not count towards the two-term limit, as he was elected by MPs. "One of these drinks has 20 teaspoons of sugar hiding in the can," says Ms Kellett, who goes on to tell the group why sugar-laden soft drinks are particularly bad for the teeth. Apparently, it is to do with the way we sip them, which means they stay "high in the palate" and have a greater chance of causing tooth decay. They have already heard about the dangers of diabetes and obesity, all part of a pitch to harden their resolve to complete the 21-day Gulp (Give Up Loving Pop)Challenge. But for some of the 12- and 13-year-olds, the days ahead threaten to be quite tough, because these are young people who really enjoy their fizzy drinks. "I love fizzy pop," says one pupil. "I drink near enough one can per day." "I have a bottle of pop with my tea," says her friend. "I usually have one at lunch as well, so I usually have more than I'm supposed to." That is certainly true, as for most people over the age of 11, the recommended daily amount of sugar is 30g (1oz). Some of the most popular soft drinks contain at least that amount per can, if not more. In Blackpool, there is a particular issue, because more than a third of 10- and 11-year-olds in the town are overweight or obese - some of the highest rates in England. And young people are also the biggest consumers of fizzy drinks. It's a worry for Blackpool's director of public health, Dr Arif Rajpura. "There is simply too much sugar in our diet, and this is contributing significantly to our obesity epidemic," Dr Rajpura says. "So what we are trying to do is reduce the amount of sugar in our diet. "Sugar in fizzy drinks is empty calories, it just adds calories, unnecessary calories, to our diet and what we're trying to do is cut that out." Research suggests it takes 21 days to kick a habit or wean yourself off an addiction, which is how many of the group see sugar and fizzy drinks. "It's like I've drunk it since I was young," says Shae, who drinks two cans a day. "I don't know if it's going to leave me alone when I'm doing this challenge. "It's going to be hard, but it's going to make me healthier as well." Assuming there are 36g of sugar in a drink - the same amount found in one of the UK's most popular colas - each pupil would "save" 756g of extra sugar over the 21 days. For the whole group, that amounts to 11.3kg of sugar. Or to put it another way, they will have avoided putting an extra 45,360 calories into their bodies. Three weeks later, when they are asked who managed to give up for the full 21 days, all but three hands go up - an 80% success rate. Some say it was tough, some found it easier, but none says they are now going to give up fizzy drinks for good. The school's senior assistant head teacher, Chris Ibbotson, says the timeframe has been too short to say if it has made a long-term difference, but she knows that more work will be needed. "We've got influences from advertising and marketing that overwhelm adults as well as children," she says. "It's a hard nut to crack. "We also have to talk to parents about what they think, because they've been brought up in a similar way to the children, in using sugar as a reward, using sugar as a quick fix. And we do have to change." Mr Trump is blitzing the state with five rallies while Mrs Clinton is also swinging through the Sunshine State. Early voting by mail began in Florida weeks ago, with over a million people having already cast their votes. Mrs Clinton holds a narrow three-point lead over Mr Trump in Florida, according to a new CBS/YouGov poll. The former secretary of state had 46% of the vote compared with Mr Trump's 43%, the poll found. Recent polls have put Mrs Clinton well ahead of her Republican rival both nationally and in several battleground states. A new CNN/ORC national poll put Mrs Clinton six points ahead among likely voters, at 51% to 45% in a head-to-head with Mr Trump. Polling in Republican strongholds including Arizona, Georgia and Utah have also shown closer-than-expected races. But speaking at a rally in St Augustine on Monday, Mr Trump, said: "Folks, we're winning. We're winning. We're winning." He once again blamed the media, which he described as being composed of "thieves and crooks" and "almost as crooked as Hillary", and said the system is "corrupt and rigged and broken". Pollsters also came under fire, with Mr Trump claiming the hacked emails of John Podesta showed the Clinton campaign chair was "rigging the polls by oversampling Democrats". The Republican nominee also hit out at his rival's use of a personal email server while secretary of state, saying the FBI and Justice Department had inappropriately let her off the hook. "We have to investigate the investigation," he said. And he addressed the latest allegation of sexual misconduct from Jessica Drake, a 42-year-old adult film star who said the Republican nominee grabbed her and kissed her without permission 10 years ago. "And she's a porn star... Oh, I'm sure she's never been grabbed before," he said, adding that he will sue all the "liars" after the election. Meanwhile Clinton ally Senator Elizabeth Warren lashed out on Monday against Donald Trump at a New Hampshire rally over comments that he has made about women, saying that the candidate "disrespects - aggressively disrespects - more than half the human beings in this country." "On November 8th, we nasty women are going to march our nasty feet to cast our nasty votes, to get you out of our lives forever", Mrs Warren said, referring to a comment made by Mr Trump in the final debate, where he called Mrs Clinton "such a nasty woman". She also hit out at Mr Trump over his obscene remarks about women, which emerged in a 2005 videotape. "He thinks that because he has a mouthful of Tic Tacs he can force himself on any woman within groping distance," she said. "Well I've got news for you Donald Trump. Women have had it with guys like you." Despite his slip in the polls, the Republican candidate received his first major newspaper endorsement on Sunday from Nevada's largest newspaper, The Las Vegas Review-Journal. "[Mr Trump] promises to be a source of disruption and discomfort to the privileged, back-scratching political elites for whom the nation's strength and solvency have become subservient to power's pursuit and preservation," the endorsement said. Several newspapers broke with longstanding traditions of backing Republicans or abstaining from presidential endorsements altogether to support Mrs Clinton, with many noting a marked stance against Mr Trump. Who is ahead in the polls? 48% Hillary Clinton 44% Donald Trump Fumio Kishida said he had called China's ambassador to protest against the "incursions". On Friday, about 230 Chinese fishing boats and coast guard vessels sailed near islands claimed by both countries. Beijing has been increasingly assertive about waters it believes are Chinese. The Japan-controlled, uninhabited islands - known as the Senkaku in Japan and the Diaoyu in China - are the source of a long-running dispute. The Japanese coast guard said on Monday that about 13 Chinese coast guard ships, some of them armed, had been seen near the islands, higher than the usual number. "The situation surrounding the Japan-China relationship is significantly deteriorating," Mr Kishida told Cheng Yonghua, Beijing's envoy to Tokyo, according to a statement on the foreign ministry website. "We cannot accept that [China] is taking actions that unilaterally raise tensions." Mr Kishida said he had lodged repeated protests since Friday about the "incursion and violation of our sovereignty". He said China should withdraw its official vessels immediately. Mr Cheng reiterated China's claim over the area at the meeting, he told reporters, and asked for both countries to continue to have dialogue. He also said the increase in number of coast guard ships was to oversee the increased fishing in the area by Chinese boats, according to AP news agency. "Please understand that it's an effort by the Chinese side to avoid further complications to the situation," AP quoted Mr Cheng as saying. In July, China rejected an international tribunal ruling that its claims have no rights in the South China Sea, raising tensions with neighbours who have competing claims in the area. The case was brought to the Permanent Court of Arbitration by the Philippines, which has seen disputes flare up with China over fishing grounds near the Scarborough Shoal and Spratly Islands in particular. China has indicated it is open to talks with the Philippines outside the tribunal ruling to settle the dispute. On Tuesday, former Philippines president Fidel Ramos, chosen by Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte as envoy to pave the way for talks, was in Hong Kong meeting with Beijing-linked contacts. Meanwhile, a Washington-based think tank says satellite images show China appears to be building aircraft hangars on disputed islands in the South China Sea. Pictures from late July show hangars on Fiery Cross, Subi and Mischief Reefs in the Spratly islands that could fit fighter jets, the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said. Beijing claims most of the South China Sea and has been building runways and other structures on disputed islands, amid international concerns it is militarising the area. This has raised alarm with its neighbours, including Vietnam and the Philippines, who also claim parts of the South China Sea. Media playback is not supported on this device Allardyce stood down from the England role in September after only 67 days in charge, following a newspaper sting. The Football Association is yet to receive full disclosure of the Telegraph's 10-month investigation into football corruption. The newspaper passed on its evidence to the City of London Police first. Allardyce has been told by police that he will not face any criminal investigation - but there remains the possibility of an FA disciplinary process, once the organisation is given access to all the evidence. BBC Sport understands Palace - and chairman Steve Parish - are relaxed about the situation and would deal with it if necessary in the future. "Moving on for me is taking this job," said Allardyce, who replaced the sacked Alan Pardew on Friday. Media playback is not supported on this device The former Bolton, Blackburn, Newcastle, West Ham and Sunderland boss takes charge of his first game for the struggling Eagles against Watford on Boxing Day (12:30 GMT) - with a remit of keeping his new club in the Premier League. He told Sky Sports: "The first four weeks was something that was one of the darkest moments in my career, certainly the early reaction which was a bit hysterical to say the least, looking back on it. "I'm talking about me and my wife and my family, we all had to deal with that problem - my children, my grandchildren at school. "But eventually time passes by, you overcome those adversities and you move on." Allardyce left the FA by mutual agreement after only one match in charge of the national side, following a Daily Telegraph investigation claiming he offered advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers. The FA said Allardyce's conduct "was inappropriate". The 62-year-old did apologise but also said "entrapment had won". Allardyce had been appointed England manager after saving Sunderland from relegation last season, while his new side Palace are 17th - one point outside of the relegation zone after a run of one win in 11 games. "You've got to do it, it's part of the quick process to try to turn around a difficult situation at the moment," he added. "It's not as difficult as the position Sunderland were in."

Pralhad Kolhe has ordered fishermen not to use Cove Harbour, but he was told to remove boulders blocking access to the harbour by the council in January. New boulders across the road to the site have now been installed. The fishermen have collected more than 9,500 signatures on a petition and raised £3,300 to fund a legal campaign. Locals say the harbour has been used for fishing for hundreds of years, but the landowner insists boat owners have "no right" to store their equipment on his property. The dispute dates back to April 2014, when Mr Kolhe issued a legal notice to the fishermen ordering them to remove their boats from the beach. A further notice was issued in September 2015 after the fishermen insisted they would be staying put, before the boulders were put up blocking off the pier in December. Council officials wrote to Mr Kolhe in January about the boulders, but on Saturday new stones were seen being placed across the access road. Mr Kolhe's representatives have not yet responded to a BBC Scotland request for a comment on the dispute. But not in League Two. While Doncaster, Plymouth and Portsmouth have sewn up the automatic promotion places in England's fourth tier, the play-off picture is unclear. Ten teams are legitimately still in with a realistic chance of taking one of the four spots. Only four points separate Stevenage in fifth and Wycombe in 13th. By way of comparison, at this time last campaign, four points separated seventh-placed AFC Wimbledon, in the play-offs and with a game in hand, and eighth-placed Wycombe outside the play-offs. This season is arguably the closest at this point of a campaign since 2009-10, when four points separated sixth and 12th. Oddly enough, the majority of sides in the play-off picture had wretched beginnings to the campaign. Exeter have risen from bottom in November to sixth, fifth-placed Stevenage were just above the drop zone in October, while Colchester's start was so bad that forward Kurtis Guthrie said his side were on their way to relegation. Cambridge United may now be sitting just two points outside the top seven, but things were not looking so rosy at the start of the season. Three points from their first eight games led the U's board to have a meeting to discuss manager Shaun Derry's future, during which the players reportedly urged the club to keep him. Since the decision to stick by him, Cambridge have not really looked back. "It's turned into a three-game season," Derry told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, having defeated their play-off rivals Exeter 1-0 on Monday. "As a player and a manager I always look at the season in parts. Clearly we didn't have the best of starts but it's been an incredible rise since those first eight games." Blackpool and Mansfield have been in and out of the play-off places throughout the season with the typical peaks and troughs in form, but another side that have gone on to have a memorable season after a poor start are Wycombe. The Chairboys, who were 21st in October, went on a 16-match unbeaten run in all competitions, reached an EFL Trophy semi-final, received nationwide accolades following a dramatic 4-3 defeat by Tottenham in the FA Cup, and are now just two points off the top seven. "It has been a successful season," manager Gareth Ainsworth told BBC Sport. "But it's easy to forget those things when you're striving for the play-offs. If we don't make it, people will just look at that and say we didn't make the play-offs." So why does Ainsworth think there are so many teams still in with a chance, with even 14th-placed Grimsby still, mathematically anyway, in with a shot? "The league really has been split into two halves. It's crazy. Accrington are the only team that have made a huge run from bottom to top later on. Everyone else has been there or thereabouts. "Ourselves and Accrington are probably the ones raising eyebrows because of the size of our clubs, but otherwise, you probably could have picked your top 10 in League Two this season. It's one of those seasons where the top teams have been beating the bottom." Ainsworth is right. Accrington have put together quite a run of form - 15 games unbeaten, to be exact - to put themselves in with a chance of the play-offs. Stanley, who were defeated by eventually-promoted AFC Wimbledon in the play-off semi-finals last season, are also just two points behind seventh-placed Blackpool, having been 20th in late February. Manager John Coleman told BBC Radio Lancashire: "You're always aware - anybody who says they're not are lying - you're aware of what's going on around you. It doesn't matter what stage of the season it is. "It is as tight as it has ever been and we're happy to be one of those teams. "Once we got on a three-game or four-game run, we set the players a challenge - could we go unbeaten until the end of the season? "I hope that comes to fruition but it would be a shame if we did go unbeaten and then didn't reach the play-offs. "Whatever happens now, I think we can be proud of the season that we've had as the players have turned it around." The side currently best placed for the end-of-season 'lottery' are fourth-placed Luton Town, helped in no small part by the league's third-highest goalscorer - Danny Hylton. The Hatters have only been outside the top seven for one week this season, but boss Nathan Jones said those sides automatically promoted were "one year" ahead of the Bedfordshire club. "They definitely had a lot more experience than we did in most areas," Jones told BBC Three Counties Radio. "We're just a young group evolving, developing, we play a certain way. "It would have been easy to play in a static way, play in straight lines, but we ask them to do different stuff. And I think it's just been that - a bit more experience, a bit more know-how." Luton have a four-point cushion to outside of the play-off places, prior to Saturday's home game against Notts County. "We're in pole position at the minute because we're in fourth," added Jones. "We want to stay there, because in theory you get the 'weakest' side, even though it's never that way, and you're at home in the second leg. "What we want to do is finish as high as we can, on as many points as we can, because we wanted to improve on last year." While Luton have barely been out of the top seven this season, similar could be said for Carlisle's tenure in the top three. The Cumbrians were third as recently as February, but a run of six defeats in seven saw Keith Curle's side slip down the table, eventually outside of the play-off places altogether. "I think we need two wins, that potentially could be enough to get into the play-offs and then you get that momentum off the back of a few wins," Curle told BBC Radio Cumbria straight after Monday's draw against Stevenage. "I back us over two games against anybody and in a one-off game I think we can give anybody in this division a very good game of football."

Wales have conceded two set-piece goals in four days as Ukraine's winner in Kiev on Monday came from a free-kick. The loss followed a draw with Northern Ireland when they scored from a corner. "One loss of concentration from a set-piece has cost us. To concede from a set-piece is disappointing," said Tottenham Hotspur defender Davies. "We have had plenty of meetings to sort it out. It was not the result we were looking for, but a lot about the performance was pretty good." Fellow full-back Taylor was also not happy with Wales' potential Achilles heel as the Swansea defender added: "We didn't look troubled all night, but set-pieces were a problem." Both Davies and Taylor, however, felt the positives outweighed the disappointment of defeat. "It is not really about technical problems," said Davies. "It is about focus and concentration and not being able to switch off in these situations. We did tonight and it cost us." Taylor agreed: "We are pleased with the performance, but not the goal we conceded. We've let ourselves down with that. "We were in complete control of the game almost from start to finish, so we are disappointed not to score. Other than that, I thought we did very well. Media playback is not supported on this device "On another day we might have scored a couple. The way we conducted ourselves, we are happy with. But not the result." Taylor feels plenty of the Wales fringe players have aided their bid to be part of Chris Coleman's 23-man squad that will head to France for their first European Championship finals. "Quite a few players have staked their claims," he told BBC Radio Wales. "They are pushing for the Euro squad and no-one has done themselves any harm." Lt Gen Gadi Eisenkot said Israeli intelligence had similarly concluded that Mustafa Amine Badreddine was assassinated by his own men. He was killed by a blast near Damascus, which the militant Lebanese Shia group blamed on Sunni extremist rebels. Badreddine was believed to have run the group's operations in Syria since 2011. Hezbollah is heavily involved in the country's civil war, deploying thousands of fighters in support of President Bashar al-Assad. Earlier this month, the pan-Arab news network al-Arabiya said its investigation into Badreddine's death had concluded that the commander was killed on the orders of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The report said Hassan Nasrallah was put under pressure to remove Badreddine by Maj Gen Qasem Soleimani, head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' elite overseas operations arm and a key adviser to the Syrian military. Israeli intelligence believes Badreddine was in conflict with Iranian military commanders there, according to the Associated Press news agency. At the time of his death on 13 May 2016, Hezbollah said Badreddine had been killed by an explosion at one of its bases near Damascus airport. An initial report by Lebanon's al-Mayadeen TV said the 55 year old had died in an Israeli air strike. But a later statement by Hezbollah published by its al-Manar news site did not mention Israel. Israel did not comment on any alleged involvement. Hezbollah and Israel are sworn enemies and fought a 33-day war in 2006. Israel is believed to have carried out multiple air strikes on weapons convoys in Syria destined for the group, and to have killed senior Hezbollah operatives, though it does not comment on such claims. On Tuesday, Gen Eisenkot said the Arab media reports that Hezbollah had killed Badreddine matched the "intelligence we have". He added that the killing reflected "the depth of the internal crisis within Hezbollah". Badreddine was a cousin and brother-in-law of Imad Mughniyeh, who was the commander of Hezbollah's military wing until his assassination by car bomb in Damascus in 2008 - reportedly the result of a joint operation by Israel's Mossad spy agency and the US Central Intelligence Agency. Badreddine himself was charged by prosecutors at The Hague with masterminding the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, who was killed by a huge car bomb blast in Beirut in February 2005. The incident happened at about 14:00 BST on Monday between junctions nine and 10, near Parc Menai. North and Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency officers set up the road block to help a man retrieve a fencing panel which had fallen off his roof. North Wales Police said there were clear signs for drivers not to pass. After ignoring the sign, the car slowed down for a moment before accelerating away westbound. PC Dave Thomas said: "This was an extremely dangerous manoeuvre. To breach a rolling road block is an offence which in this case could have had disastrous consequences." Any witnesses are asked to call 101. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer accused the New York Times of printing inaccuracies, specifically referring to him watching TV in his bathrobe, saying the paper owed President Trump an apology. The president has tweeted his annoyance at what he calls poor reporting: "The failing @nytimes was forced to apologise to its subscribers for the poor reporting it did on my election win. Now they are worse!" Unsurprisingly, people have taken to social media to contradict Mr Spicer's bathrobe comment with various hashtags popping up, including #BathRobeGate. Some have even been delving into the presidential bathrobe archives to produce gems such as this from Avi Bueno. He tweeted a photo of Ronald Reagan in a robe, with the caption: 'Weird to see @seanspicer and @realDonaldTrump getting all defensive about a #bathrobe when their hero wasn't shy about it." And historian Michael Beschloss tweeted a picture of President Lyndon B Johnson sitting in a robe with advisers on Air Force One in 1966. John Aravosis, editor of @AMERICAblog, was quick to post three photos of Donald Trump wearing a bathrobe, which had featured in a November Daily Mail article about a trove of Trump memorabilia being found in a US thrift shop. Considering the Trump Organisation lists 37 properties, including 15 hotels, on its website, many posters are assuming that a bathrobe or two may have been worn in the Trump household. Various robes bearing the Trump brand have been posted on social media, including this picture of American actor Mike Rowe. He tweeted a photo in August 2016 of a bathrobe autographed by Mr Trump, along with a video in which Mike says he wore the robe "briefly". There were a few robe-wearing alternatives, such as Evie the Cat, the UK Cabinet Office feline who posted this about the 10 Downing Street cat, Larry. And with a clever bit of editing, some have posted gifs of the president holding up a drawing of a bathrobe. Even @TrumpBathrobe, a twitter account set up in 2015 and inactive since September 2016, has reawakened amidst this robing furore. Similar posts are appearing on Facebook under #bathrobegate, although not everyone is impressed: Compiled by Sherie Ryder, BBC UGC and Social News team. Chantelle Connelly, 27, has lost her income endorsing products on Instagram since the attack, Newcastle Magistrates' Court heard. She had denied the assault but was convicted of grievous bodily harm after a trial. She was also given a 12-month community order and 200 hours of unpaid work. The court heard how Connelly had been dumped by many businesses since the attack, her TV work had dried up and she had lost a lot of her income. John Wesencraft, defending, said: "There is going to be quite a catastrophic effect on Miss Connelly's income. "Prior to these proceedings, her income was fairly substantial - it has roughly halved. "She has largely been dropped by the people who were putting work in her direction." He said her outgoings exceeded her income and she was "under pressure" from her bank. The court heard how Connelly and the woman were introduced in the VIP area of Bijoux bar and were part of a larger group. But the mood changed when they moved to a different bar and Connelly became jealous about an ex-boyfriend and repeatedly asked her victim if she had "been with him". Holly Common, prosecuting, said the victim felt intimidated and was later attacked by Connelly outside Powerhouse nightclub. She suffered a cut to the mouth, which needed stitches, and fractured her wrist when she fell. Connelly was also ordered to pay £620 court costs and £85 surcharge. She has always insisted she was nowhere near the victim and it was a case of mistaken identity. Without this, children's medicine lags behind adult care, and the gaps in data expose them to unknown and unnecessary risks, leading doctors warn. For example, children may get modified doses of adult medicine that are just too high for them. National bodies are exploring how children can help shape future studies. Most new medicines are designed with just adult needs in mind, the report says. And this can mean children are faced with fewer options or that doctors must sometimes give modified doses of adult drugs. For example, newborns have just two pain-relief medicines generally available to them, while adults have more than five times that number, Prof Neena Modi, who leads the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, says. And she warns that because young people can break down drugs at different rates to adults, some children may get "extrapolated doses" of adult medicines that are too high - leaving them at risk of side-effects, or too low - resulting in poor treatment. Experts at the Nuffield Council, who conducted a two-year inquiry involving 200 children and young people, say the situation must change. They suggest people's reluctance to involve children can sometimes stem from the ethical considerations involved. And while they acknowledge these can be difficult, they say this must not be used as an excuse. They question the assumption that children should always be considered a vulnerable group that needs to be shielded from research. Instead they urge scientists and ethics committees to consider the everyday risks children and parents are exposed too - for example while playing sport or walking to school unaccompanied. These types of scenarios must be weighed against the harm of children getting medicines that are not designed for them, they say. And the level of involvement should be be taken into account - for example some studies might consist of surveys asking children which designs of medicines suit them best. At the same time, pharmaceutical companies must be encouraged to do more they say. They suggest the small market share involved in the childhood population could play a part. The report makes other recommendations, including involving children and their parents in the design of trials early on. And European regulations could be modified so fewer waivers are granted to companies conducting solely adult studies. Simon Dengri, of the National Institute for Health Research, added: "The report is a welcome addition to the many voices urging the community to get better at involving young people in research, whilst recognising the excellent work that's already gone on. "We're already talking to people in the field to see how we might ensure children's voices help shape the health research that affects them." Prof Paul Workman, of the Institute of Cancer Research, added his support. He said: "The case for the development of safer and more effective targeted drugs for cancer in children is overwhelmingly clear and without question of great urgency." And Prof Modi said: "Of course decisions involving children are never easy, but this should not be an excuse for inaction; the danger of not developing the evidence base is far greater than the risks of recruiting young people to well-run, carefully regulated programmes." The rally in Ahmedabad city was addressed by Hardik Patel, a 22-year-old controversial community leader. The rally turned violent when protesters clashed with local residents. Patels make up 20% of the population of Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The caste is economically powerful but the protesters say quotas for lower castes put them at a disadvantage. Patels control India's thriving diamond cutting and polishing industry and are among the most prosperous businessmen and farmers in Gujarat. But they complain that they are denied college places because of affirmative action to ensure those below them in India's complex social structure have access. And they say they have been affected by a slowdown in small and medium industries - where many Patels are employed - in Gujarat which has led to a drying up of employment opportunities. Led by Hardik Patel, a feisty, upcoming community leader and a businessman himself, the Patels are now demanding affirmative action and classification as Other Backward Classes (OBCs) so that they are entitled to quotas in state-run education centres and in government jobs. OBC refers to the castes - in the middle of the Hindu caste hierarchy - who do not face so much exclusion or isolation in society but have been traditionally socially and economically disadvantaged. Mr Patel told the audience that if people weren't given their rights, they became terrorists. He said that without quotas for Patels, the lotus would not bloom at the next state election - a reference to the symbol of Mr Modi's BJP which governs in the state as well as in Delhi. The organisers of the rally brought in 2,500 volunteers to manage the crowds and keep peace, according to the BBC's Geeta Pandey in Ahmedabad. "We are not against any community. We are fighting for our rights," Mr Patel told the packed audience. "If this government does not heed our demands, the lotus will not bloom in 2017," he was quoted as saying by the NDTV news channel. The lotus is the election symbol of the BJP, which is also running the government in Gujarat, where elections are due in 2017. Mr Patel said the community members would call off the agitation "the day the government will indicate that it is willing to give us reservation [quotas]". Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel has rejected their demand and urged community leaders to hold talks with the government. "Her appeal means nothing... it is just to create confusion on the agitation ... had she been serious, she would have announced something concrete," Mr Patel was quoted as saying by the NDTV news channel. The defendants are all linked to the Lebanese Shia Islamist movement, Hezbollah, which has denied any involvement in the attack. A fifth man has been indicted and his case may be joined to the trial. Mr Badreddine is the most prominent of the four men charged by the STL in 2011 and is described in the indictment as "overall controller of the operation" to assassinate Hariri. He faces five charges, including conspiracy aimed at committing a terrorist act and committing a terrorist act of international homicide with premeditation. Born in 1961, he is believed to have been a senior figure in Hezbollah's military wing, the Islamic Resistance. He was a cousin and brother-in-law of Imad Mughniyeh, who was chief of the Islamic Resistance until his assassination by car bomb in Damascus in 2008. Mr Badreddine is reported to have sat on Hezbollah's Shura Council and served as an adviser to the group's secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah. According to one report, a Hezbollah member interrogated by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), is reported to have described Mr Badreddine, an explosives expert, as "more dangerous" than Mughniyeh, who was "his teacher in terrorism". They are alleged to have worked together on the October 1983 bombing of the US Marine Corps barracks in Beirut that killed 241 personnel. In 1984, a court in Kuwait sentenced a 23-year-old man named Elias Fouad Saab to death after convicting him in connection with the December 1983 suicide car bomb attacks on the US and French embassies there. Mughniyeh is alleged to have organised the hijackings of Kuwaiti airliners, a kidnapping and an attempted assassination of the emir of Kuwait to free Saab and the 16 other Lebanese and Iraqis convicted alongside him. Saab eventually escaped from prison when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. According to STL prosecutors, Elias Fouad Saab is a known alias of Mr Badreddine. In 2010, STL prosecutors were reported to have been investigating Mr Badreddine. However, then Prime Minister Saad Hariri - the son of Rafik Hariri - is said to have requested that the STL postpone the public identification of Mr Badreddine as a suspect lest it spark unrest. The STL indictment says analysis of mobile phone records shows that between 1 January 2005 and 14 February 2005, Mr Badreddine was in contact 59 times with Salim Jamil Ayyash. He is alleged to have issued the final authorisation for the attack just under an hour before it happened. A pre-trial brief submitted by lawyers allocated by the STL says the evidence thus far disclosed does not support a conclusion that Mr Badreddine is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. STL prosecutors allege that Mr Ayyash co-ordinated the assassination team, which conducted surveillance and physically carried out the attack. Like Mr Badreddine, he faces five charges, including conspiracy aimed at committing a terrorist act and committing a terrorist act of international homicide with premeditation. Born in 1963, Mr Ayyash is related to Mr Badreddine through marriage and was also a brother-in-law of Imad Mughniyeh, Hezbollah's late military chief, according to the indictment. Like the other defendants, Mr Ayyash is described as a Hezbollah "supporter", as prosecutors cannot prove he is a member of the group. STL prosecutors say communications analysis shows that Mr Ayyash used at least eight phones to communicate with Mr Badreddine, the assassination team and the team behind the false claim of responsibility. The indictment says evidence shows Mr Ayyash and the assassination team observed Hariri on a number of days prior to the attack to learn the routes and movements of his convoy, were involved in the purchase of the van used in the bombing, and were positioned close to the St Georges Hotel shortly before the suicide bomber blew up the van as Hariri's convoy passed by. The initial pre-trial brief submitted by Mr Ayyash's defence team says it disputes each and every factual and legal allegation made by STL prosecutors, and that they cannot prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Born in 1974 and a former resident of the Hezbollah stronghold of South Beirut, Mr Oneissi faces five charges, including conspiracy aimed at committing a terrorist act and being an accomplice to the felony of international homicide with premeditation. The STL indictment says Mr Oneissi and his co-defendant, Assad Hassan Sabra, "had the task of preparing the false claim of responsibility" for Hariri's assassination, "which served to identify the wrong people to investigate, in order to shield the conspirators from justice". They are alleged to have joined the conspiracy in December 2004. Shortly after the bombing, al-Jazeera received a video with a letter attached on which a man named Ahmad Abu Adass falsely claimed to be the suicide bomber on behalf of a fictional Sunni fundamentalist group called "Victory and Jihad in Greater Syria". STL prosecutors say Mr Oneissi and Mr Sabra identified Mr Abu Adass, a Palestinian man they found at a mosque in Beirut, as a suitable stranger to appear in the video. They are alleged to have delivered the video for broadcast and been in regular contact with an intermediary - Hassan Habib Merhi - who spoke to Mr Ayyash several times. Mr Abu Adass has been missing since 16 January 2005, when he allegedly left home to meet Mr Oneissi. Mr Oneissi's defence team says the case is based on circumstantial evidence and inferences drawn from it. Born in 1976 and a former resident of South Beirut, Mr Sabra is accused, along with Mr Oneissi, of preparing the false claim of responsibility. Like his co-defendant, he faces five charges, including conspiracy aimed at committing a terrorist act and being an accomplice to the felony of international homicide with premeditation. In their pre-trial brief, Mr Sabra's lawyers took issue with "every legal and factual assertion" contained in the indictment, and said none of the evidence appeared to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. Born in 1965 and a former South Beirut resident, Mr Merhi was indicted by the STL in June 2013. He faces five charges, including conspiracy aimed at committing a terrorist act and being an accomplice to the felony of international homicide with premeditation. Mr Merhi is accused of co-ordinating, along with Mr Badreddine, the preparation of the false claim of responsibility and of being in contact with Mr Ayyash in relation to the preparations for the attack. He is alleged to have co-ordinated the activities of Mr Oneissi and Mr Sabra in order to identify a suitable individual, Ahmad Abu Adass, who would be used to make a false claim for the assassination. Independent Rosemarie Harris was the only nominee for the position after Barry Thomas announced he was standing down. She said she hoped to put Powys "more on the Welsh stage" but warned of further austerity. She received 49 votes in favour, one ballot was spoiled and there were 20 abstentions. "I recognise the challenge that we all face," she told the meeting on Thursday. "We've had to take a lot of money out of the budget in the last few years and austerity is still with us so there will be more to take. "There are tremendous opportunities available, all we need to do is grasp them." Ms Harris, who represents Llangynidr, added she hoped to better promote Powys, particularly on social media. "We have so much to offer in this county," she said. Meanwhile, Berriew councillor Dai Davies will succeed retiring chaiman Keith Tampin, who was praised for his hard work and fairness during his time in office. The council offers the title to councillors from different areas, with Montgomeryshire having been due its "turn" this coming year. In April, officials in Pakistan said that 10 Taliban fighters had been found guilty and received 25-year jail terms. But sources have now confirmed to the BBC that only two of the men who stood trial were convicted. The secrecy surrounding the trial, which was held behind closed doors, raised suspicions over its validity. The court judgement - seen for the first time on Friday more than a month after the trial - claims that the two men convicted were those who shot Ms Yousafzai in 2012. It was previously thought that both the gunmen and the man who ordered the attack had fled to Afghanistan. Muneer Ahmed, a spokesman for the Pakistani High Commission in London, said on Friday that the eight men were acquitted because of a lack of evidence. Saleem Marwat, the district police chief in Swat, Pakistan, separately confirmed that only two men had been convicted. Mr Ahmed claimed that the original court judgement made it clear only two men had been convicted and blamed the confusion on misreporting. But Sayed Naeem, a public prosecutor in Swat, told the Associated Press news agency after the trial: "Each militant got 25 years in jail. It is life in prison for the 10 militants who were tried by an anti-terrorist court." In Pakistan, a life sentence is 25 years. The acquittals emerged after reporters from the London-based Daily Mirror attempted to locate the 10 convicted men in prisons in Pakistan. The whereabouts of the eight acquitted men is not known. The trial was held at a military facility rather than a court and was shrouded in secrecy, a Pakistani security source told the BBC. Pakistani authorities did not make the judgement available at any stage, nor did they correct the reports over the past two months that 10 men had been convicted. The announcement of the convictions in April took many by surprise. No journalists had been made aware that the trial was taking place. The authorities did not say when and where the men had been arrested or how they were linked to the attack, or explain the charges against them. It didn't take long for the news to spread around Pakistan's fiercely competitive media, and then the world: 10 men had been convicted over the attempted murder of Malala Yusafzai and sentenced to life. The only problem? It wasn't true. Only two of the 10 were found guilty. Was it a calculated leak? Or did officials simply neglect to correct an error that made good PR? When the news first broke, an army spokesman told journalists he would be issuing a statement, but later he changed his mind. By then the news had been on TV for several hours. The Associated Press quoted a public prosecutor as saying 10 men had been sentenced to life. The prosecutor said nothing for more than a month - only now he denies speaking to the reporter. Amid the confusion over how the false information spread and why, what we do know is that Pakistan was under pressure. Malala had been awarded the Nobel prize but no-one had been brought to justice, and Pakistan was keen to improve troubled ties with the US, UK and Afghanistan. And we know that, even if Pakistani officials did not purposefully spread misinformation, they allowed it to stand. 'Secret' acquittals raise further doubts Ms Yousafzai, who is now 17, was targeted by Taliban gunmen while she was travelling home from school in the town of Mingora. The gunmen boarded a bus and asked for her by name before shooting her in the head. She was treated for her injuries in the UK and currently lives in Birmingham with her family. They are unable to return to Pakistan because of death threats from the Taliban. Ms Yousafzai was targeted after campaigning for education rights for girls. She also wrote an anonymous blog for the BBC's Urdu service, describing life under the Taliban. Pakistan's mountainous Swat valley, where she lived with her family, was overrun by the Taliban between 2007 and 2009. Jean-Michel Maire found his requests for a kiss rebuffed by a young woman during a re-enactment of the Kim Kardashian robbery in Paris, so he went for her chest instead. It is the latest in a series of scandals in France that together are prompting a backlash against "seduction a la francaise" - a traditional tolerance for male sexual opportunism, particularly by those in positions of power. More than 250 outraged viewers - including women's rights minister Laurence Rossignol - complained to the media regulator and others called for Mr Maire to be prosecuted. Mr Maire said he had watched the episode again backstage and "laughed about it", Marianne reported. He later tweeted a semi-serious apology. The show's host, Cyril Hanouna, said he did not think it was "that serious". The woman, a 21-year-old dancer called Soraya, told L'Express magazine she had been shocked by Mr Maire's act - "I'm a human being, not just an object," she said. Another prominent media personality, Jean-Marc Morandini, is already being investigated by police over claims he pressurised a minor to carry out a sex act on video at a casting at his home as well as claims of sexual harassment made by five other men who were acting in a web-based drama series. Staff at iTele have gone on strike to protest against Mr Morandini's arrival at the channel. Meanwhile a new website has been launched encouraging women working in French politics to report lewd behaviour and unwanted advances. The launch of "Chair Collaboratrice" - a pun which sounds like "Dear Co-worker" but actually translates as "Flesh of my co-worker" - follows the resignation in May of the deputy speaker of parliament, Denis Baupin, over allegations including sexual assault. He is alleged to have groped a Green Party member and sent explicit messages to others. Last week, minister Jean-Michel Baylet was accused in parliament of hitting a female colleague in the face. Both men deny the allegations. In an article in Le Monde newspaper, the women behind Chair Collaboratrice said "sexist language and behaviour occur on a daily basis for women in politics, whether they are elected or staff". Several women have already shared anecdotes on Chair Collaboratrice. In one incident, a woman recounted being in a meeting with an MP who broke away from official business to remark to her: "You know, it's funny, I've never slept with an Arab..." "You know, it's funny, I've never slapped an MP!" she replied. Another anonymous contributor said a man she was working at the French parliament for had given her a shoulder massage on her first day in the job. "I lasted five months," she said. Last year, 40 female French journalists wrote an open letter detailing what they described as their experiences at the hands of French politicians. Arsene Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal for 21 years but a disastrous week has perhaps left his future in more doubt than at any other time during his reign. A seventh successive exit at the last-16 stage of the Champions League was painful enough, without the added humiliation of a 10-2 aggregate hammering by Bayern Munich. The protests against Wenger have rumbled in the background for years but now seem to have an extra fervency. Throughout all this, a new contract offer remains on the table, while the 67-year-old says the opinion of fans will influence his decision over whether to remain in charge. So BBC Sport asked Arsenal fans for their views, and this is what they told us... Media playback is not supported on this device Wenger is consistently unfairly criticised because the media, and many fans, are used to and desire newness and change rather than stability. He has said something similar himself. Liverpool have never won the Premier League and Manchester United have dropped out of the Champions League but they have both had more than one new manager in Wenger's time and so are spared criticism. A top-four place is still achievable, as is a cup win, which is more than most clubs will achieve. Roger, Norwich Disgusting behaviour towards a great and loyal manager. This man has made Arsenal an iconic club over the last 20 years and was never caught up in the ridiculous transfer markets of la-la land. Empty vessels make the most noise as seen in this week's protest - and if he goes they'll never see a greater manager at board and bench level. Denis Taylor, Falkirk My hope is that he announces that he is parting ways with the club at the end of the season. That will make sure all the fans get behind him and give him the send-off he deserves The reason I support Arsenal is Arsene Wenger - a man who understands that football is about entertainment and occasionally it is about art and beauty. It is not all about winning. I go to football to be entertained, maybe even moved. If I was only interested in the result I would stay at home and check the results online. I know many older fans like me who feel the same. I would like Wenger to stay forever but I feel, sadly, that he'll get fed up with all of this noise and take his genius and love of football elsewhere and English football will be so much the poorer. Liz Heade, Cambridge Arsene Wenger has not only transformed Arsenal, but he has also played a significant role in the transformation of English football. Equally he has won a trophy every season, as I believe qualifying for Europe equates to a fourth trophy in the top flight. Arsenal need to decide who they are and what they want to be and get the right people to deliver their strategy. Wenger needs to prove he can reinvent the club but he has earned the right to say when he leaves. Chris McShane, Salisbury OK, things have gone stale. We are not really improving and we no longer seem able to challenge for the top honours despite early-season promise. But the escalation of anger and the barrage of abuse against Wenger, especially from the club's younger supporters, is absolutely vile. They must never forget that people from my generation grew up and their passions for that club grew because of that one man. I do think he will go at the at end of the season, but it will be a sad day when he does and all our supporters need to treat him and what he has done for Arsenal with a little bit more respect and acknowledgement. Asser Ghozlan, Kent When I started supporting Arsenal at four years old, Wenger was already into his second season. The fact that the manager's name was Arsene and the club was Arsenal was, in my mind then, no coincidence. There are plenty of millennials out there who, like me, have known no Arsenal without Arsene. His philosophy has come to define Arsenal. When he goes, we will be forced to discover who we are without him. And, in football, it is infinitely harder to find an identity than it is a trophy. Dhev, London Media playback is not supported on this device Arsene Wenger has been a wonderful manager. He will go down in history as one of the greats in the history of this football club. But nobody goes on forever, and Arsene has overstayed his welcome. Sadly, he's now become the root of a lot of the issues at our club. Arsenal are having the same season yet again. There is only one way to break the cycle and it requires Wenger to realise that this is what the end looks like, because the board won't help him find that realisation. You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain. And Wenger has now become the villain, who needs saving from himself. Rhys Hardstaff, Palmerston North, New Zealand Wenger has to leave. There can be no room for sentimentality. Let's all not forget this is a man who has become a multi-millionaire through his endeavours for the club. In any other job if you were taking things backwards your job would be on the line. Huzefa Ishaki, Peterborough Wine can take years to mature and be at its best, after which it starts to deteriorate and go bitter and needs throwing out. We're approaching, if not already at, this latter stage. Gerry Ryan, Hamilton, Bermuda It has been evident for a while that Arsene Wenger cannot take this team to the next level, but he is convinced otherwise. The whole premise of the move to the Emirates was to compete in Europe but that is still a distant dream. What Arsenal fans want right now is a bit of clarity on the future. If Arsene intends to stay then he should sign the contract and that will make up the minds of a lot of players as well. Rohail, York I am really concerned that his legacy will be tainted if he stays. I've been a supporter for over 46 years and seen plenty of good times, and my son - aged 23 - can't remember Arsenal not being involved in the Champions League, which is under threat this season. When Arsene came to Arsenal in 1996 he brought a revolution to English football. Unfortunately he hasn't moved with the times and there has been no improvement in performance over the last 10 years. Jonathan Stevens, Prudhoe I was never in the 'Wenger out' camp until recently. But it's evident he's lost his touch. I believe Wenger is only part of the problem; the board have to take some responsibility - fourth is not a trophy. Chris Gilson, Colchester I personally think that Wenger should have left the club since 2009. Doing the same thing over and over and over but expecting a different result is plain insanity. Jovita Nsoh, Houston, USA I have wanted Arsene Wenger out for 10 years. The Bayern Munich result was embarrassing and it is just adding to the list. No club has a divine right to win trophies but with what we pay and the stature of the club we have a divine right to compete. Nick Bowler, Rochester The uncertainty surrounding the club has split the fanbase and stalled the players' contract negotiations. My hope as an Arsenal fan is that he announces that he is parting ways with the club at the end of the season. That will make sure all the fans get behind him and give him the send-off he deserves. Alexius Mukanganyama, Johannesburg, South Africa Wenger - stay or go? I can see the argument for both sides. On one hand it is frustrating not being able to compete for the title, with the annual February/March collapse and Champions League exit. Although the football we play is beautiful when we get it right, it can be embarrassingly bad when we get it wrong. But there is no certainty a new manager will improve the club. After thinking long and hard, I've decided I want Wenger to stay. We are still there or thereabouts in a very competitive league and we need to start buying more world-class players by spending some of the reported pile of cash in the bank. Jonathan Bulmer, Stockport Michael Barr, who was originally from County Tyrone, was shot dead at the pub where he worked in Dublin's north inner city on Monday night. Police are investigating a possible link to the Kinahan - Hutch feud. BBC News looks back at the criminal dispute which has caused fear in Dublin and further afield. Gary Hutch, a convicted armed robber from Dublin, dies after being shot a number of times by a masked gunman at an apartment block in Spain's Costa del Sol. The 34-year had moved to Spain after his release from prison and was living in the country for eight years at the time of his death. He had survived a number of previous attempts on his life. He was a nephew of Gerry Hutch - a notorious criminal in Dublin in the late 1980s and 1990s, who was nicknamed the Monk. There is chaos and panic as gunmen armed with AK47 assault rifles open fire inside a Dublin hotel as it hosts a weigh-in for a World Boxing Organization (WBO) title fight. The armed gang, disguised as police officers, injure three men, one of them fatally. The murder victim is named as 33-year-old David Byrne from Crumlin in the south of the city. He was well-known to police and had been questioned several times over serious and organised crime. Police sources express fear of the possibility of a reprisal attack. A man claiming to speak on behalf of the dissident republican group, the Continuity IRA (CIRA), claims its members were responsible for the hotel gun attack. He tells the BBC that CIRA members killed David Byrne because he had been involved in the killing of Real IRA leader Alan Ryan in Dublin in 2012. However, police say they believe the motive for the hotel shooting was a criminal dispute, not a paramilitary feud. Hours later, Eddie Hutch Snr is shot dead near his flat in Poplar Row, in the north inner city, in a suspected reprisal attack for the murder of David Byrne. The victim, a taxi driver, is an uncle of Gary Hutch and a brother of Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch. At his funeral, mourners heard a plea from the Hutch family for no retaliation. Locals believe Eddie Hutch Sr was only murdered because of his surname - that he was an innocent man whose early life in crime was well behind him. BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight programme broadcasts its investigation into the Kinahan gang's international drugs trafficking operation. It charts Christy Kinahan's rise from a minor Dublin criminal to the "kingpin behind one of Europe's biggest drug cartels". Using Spanish police files, the programme reveals the astonishing wealth and global scope of the Kinahan gang's operation. At one point, gang members are revealed to be discussing the possibility of investing in their own container ship to transport drugs. Noel Duggan, a well-known criminal linked to cigarette smuggling, is shot dead while sitting in a car outside his home in Ratoath, County Meath. The 57-year-old victim had links to the Hutch family was a friend of Gerry Hutch. A 24-year-old man dies after he is shot outside Noctor's pub in the Sheriff Street/Oriel Street area of Dublin's north inner city. The victim is later identified as Martin O'Rourke, a father of three. It is understood the murder was a case of mistaken identity and that detectives believe the intended target was an associate of Gary Hutch. Mr O'Rourke tried to run but was shot several times by a gunman dressed in dark clothes, who then cycled away. The bike was later found abandoned, and the gun found in a bin. The 28-year-old joined from Millwall on a month-long loan earlier this month and received an ovation when replaced on his home debut against Morecambe. "I'm not used to that, having played at Millwall," Martin told BBC Northampton. "I maybe wasn't a fans' favourite put it that way, but it was really nice and something that I haven't been used to for a while, to just go out and play." Northampton are currently two points clear at the top of League Two, with a game in hand on nearest rivals Plymouth. Martin started his career at Manchester United and had made 11 appearances for League One Millwall before making the move to Sixfields. "I've had a bit of pressure on my back being out of the team at Millwall and struggled a little bit, so I'm just happy to finally get back playing football," he added. "They're a great bunch of lads here and I think that helps - team spirit's massive and sometimes smaller squads prosper from it." The rare meeting, held in a state room, apparently lasted at least an hour, during which Mr Putin discussed world affairs with the 11 boys. One of the boys present, David Wei, said on Facebook he had sent more than 1,000 emails to set up the meeting. He said Mr Putin, renowned as a tough leader, had shown "his human face". Photos of the event were posted on social media, showing the group shaking hands with Mr Putin and sitting around a table listening to the Russian leader, wearing translation headsets. Later, they posed for an informal group photo, apparently in an ante room, celebrating their success in gaining access to the Kremlin's inner sanctum. David Wei said in his Facebook post: "It took me a total of ten months, 1040 emails, 1000 text messages, countless sleepless nights, constant paranoia during A2 exam season, declining academic performance...but here we are. Guys, we truly gave Putin a deep impression of us and he responded by showing us his human face." Another of those present, Trenton Bricken, said on Facebook: "Two hour meeting with President Putin. He was small in person but not in presence." The boys are said to have arranged the visit on their own initiative but details remain unclear. One suggestion was that the meeting had been facilitated by Father Tikhon Shevkunov, a Russian Orthodox abbot said to be close to Mr Putin, who reportedly spoke at Eton earlier this year. The school, which was founded in 1440 and has educated 19 British prime ministers, said in a statement: "This was a private visit by a small group of boys organised entirely at their own initiative and independently of the college." The Kremlin has not commented. Canada's Globe and Mail recalls her most memorable visits to the country and how it covered them, while Australian media seem very interested in Prince George's debut on a commemorative postage stamp. In India, The Hindustan Times promises to tell its readers "all you need to know" about the Queen's life, and The Asian Age profiles her in its Newsmakers section. For Pakistan's Dawn, the Queen has been a "constant presence in a changing world". The Queen makes some front pages in Europe and the inside pages almost everywhere, with features on her life and times. In Germany, only the popular Bild tabloid skips the story, although its website has an article on why she is a "trendsetter". Other front pages have prominent pictures of the Queen or her family, with Sueddeutsche Zeitung and Frankfurter Allgemeine running "Happy Birthday" headlines in English. Der Tagesspiegel sets the tone with "A life full of superlatives", while leftwing tageszeitung prefers to note that the Queen is "just ahead of Fidel Castro" in the age stakes. The press in staunchly republican France is less effusive, although La Depeche du Midi has a large front-page photo of the Queen captioned, "90 years, congratulations!" France TV takes a more analytical look, concluding that she has made the motto "never complain, never explain" her own. Le Nouvel Observateur also highlights her discretion, especially over the Brexit debate, with the headline: "The Queen who never says anything". Further east, Russian mainstream media has little to say, although online newspaper editions are more forthcoming in their praise of what the Metro free paper calls "90 stunning years of the Queen". Komsomolskaya Pravda website reports that she has "beaten so many records. Oldest monarch in history. Oldest woman head of state. Longest-serving British monarch", and for Moskovsky Komsomolets she is "not just popular, but the most popular woman in world". Less graciously, some media speculate on whether the Queen may abdicate. Zvezda TV channel, which is owned by the Russian defence ministry, reports "media rumours" to that effect, as does Ukraine's Segodnya newspaper. Saudi Arabian media stands out in the Middle East in praising the Queen, with Saudi-funded Al-Arabiya TV running a profile of her as an "untiring, ever popular" monarch. A religious holiday means no papers in Iran, but the Irna and Fars news agencies strike a sourer note with references to "extravagant ceremonies" to mark the Queen's birthday, and recall that populist prime minister Mohammad Mossadeq was ousted in an Anglo-US coup at the start of her reign. China's official media largely ignores the story, but celebrity websites and the Hong Kong media run features on her life. Apple Daily also interviews leading Hong Kong collectors of royal memorabilia, and some papers in the former British colony pair the story with India's demand for the return of the Koh-i-Noor diamond. In the United States, the Royal Family make the front page of the US Washington Post, although the New York Times front page passes over the story. In South America, one theme is the Queen's devotion to duty. The Colombian daily El Tiempo comments that she is "not willing to abdicate until her last breath", and Argentine papers highlight agency reports that she "shows no signs of tiring, despite her age".

Donald Skene admitted carrying out the destruction at the Taj Madina Mosque in Dundee on 11 December last year. Mr Skene faces a charge of acting aggressively by repeatedly struggling with members of the congregation. He also attempted to smash a glass cupboard containing copies of the Koran. Defence solicitor Kevin Hampton told Dundee Sheriff Court: "The entire Crown case can be agreed. "It would appear that the defence is his state of mind at the time - his actings are not in dispute." Depute fiscal Joanne Smith said: "The incident is more or less captured on CCTV." Mr Skene, 38, from Dundee, pleaded not guilty to charges of breach of the peace, vandalism and resisting arrest. Sheriff Alastair Brown continued the case to a trial date in June. Part of the roof was ripped off Ysgol Rhosgadfan primary school a week ago by Storm Barbara. Younger children will go to a function room at the village sports club, while older pupils will be accommodated at the Cae'r Gors education centre. Headteacher Paul Carr praised the local community for rallying around. "The damage caused to parts of the school last Friday was quite frightening, but I'd like to take this opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation as a school to everyone who has offered their help over the past few days," he said. "We're extremely grateful to the officers and committee of the Mountain Rangers football club for offering the function room as a home for the foundation phase until temporary classrooms will be available. "In addition, we're hugely thankful to Cadw for their cooperation in allowing the use of the auditorium at Cae'r Gors for our older pupils." The head said the plan was for pupils to return to classes next Thursday, and parents will be updated about the arrangements. The American equalled the tournament's lowest winning score of 16 under to claim his first major. Portrush man Elliott, a former Ireland Boys and Youths international, caddied for Ben Curtis when the American won the Texas Open in 2012. There is also a financial windfall for Elliott, who pockets a percentage of Koepka's prize money of £1.6m. Graeme McDowell, also from Portrush, won the US Open 2010 with Rory McIlroy triumphing the following year. Elliott was a contemporary of Michael Hoey and Colm Moriarty and played on the Ireland team that competed in the European Youths Championship in the late 1990s. Koepka had three successive birdies from the 14th to match the total set by 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). McIlroy and McDowell both failed to make the cut at the tournament in Wisconsin. The 55-year-old Englishman, who was sacked by Newcastle in March, says he still has ambitions as a manager. But he has recently enrolled at Manchester Metropolitan University in order to gain a Masters degree in Sporting Directorship. "The next step in the future will be as a chief executive or sporting director, or even running my own club," he said. "To do that I had to acquire different skills and go back to school. It's probably old age. I always wanted to coach and manage. I know that won't last forever." McClaren managed England from August 2006 to November 2007 and also had spells in charge of Middlesbrough, Derby County, Nottingham Forest, German side Wolfsburg and Dutch club FC Twente. "I still have a few years left in me yet on the field," he told BBC Sport. "I have had offers from abroad, but nothing that appeals. I don't want to go to China. I feel I have something to offer here. If not here, then in Europe." The two-year part-time course, the first of its kind in the United Kingdom, counts former England cricketer Ashley Giles among its alumni. McClaren is in the third intake of students, a group that includes: Former Manchester United and Everton assistant manager Steve Round, another current student, was recently appointed technical director at Aston Villa. McClaren has suggested that his spell with Newcastle came at the wrong time. He was sacked after nine months in charge at St James' Park, winning six of 28 Premier League games. Newcastle appointed former Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid boss Rafa Benitez as his successor, but suffered relegation to the Championship. McClaren believes the club have now restructured well under the Spaniard. "Run correctly and righty, as a football club it will thrive," said McClaren. "Unfortunately, I was the right man at the wrong time. "What Rafa has done is gone in and gained control. It needed a big change. "He has bought players with Championship experience, leaders in the dressing room, which was something that was badly needed." Ex-England boss Taylor, 69, led the Hornets from the fourth tier to second place in the top flight during a first spell as boss between 1977 and 1987. He returned in 1996 and brought Premier League football to Vicarage Road for one season. "I feel truly honoured that Watford would seek to recognise my time at the club in this way," he said. "As everybody is very well aware, I spent a big part of my working life at the club and as part of the town and its community. "What we created, among the success on the field of play, was a very special feeling - the memories of which have always remained with me. "It will certainly feel strange coming to future Watford home matches and sitting in a stand named after myself, although it's something that myself and my family can take immense pride in. So I would thank everyone at the club most sincerely for this wonderful gesture." Taylor was England manager between 1990 and 1993, but quit after failing to qualify for the 1994 World Cup. He also took charge of Aston Villa twice, Wolves and Lincoln City and returned to Watford in 2009 in the role of chairman, a position he relinquished two years ago, although he remains a life president. The Rous Stand is currently named after Sir Stanley Rous, a former sports teacher in the town who was an international referee and Fifa's president between 1961 and 1974. "It's always been our intention to honour one of the club's greatest servants and renaming the Rous Stand is hugely appropriate," said Watford chief executive Scott Duxbury. "We intend to permanently reserve two seats, for Graham and his wife, Rita, within the directors' seating area in a stand which already contains the Sir Elton John Suite." John, a hugely successful musician and a former owner of Watford, appointed Taylor as manager in 1977. "Both men are synonymous with a special time in the club's history, so we feel this is a fitting tribute," added Duxbury. Playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis, whose The Mother with the Hat was staged last year in London, is adapting the film, which tells of a bank heist gone awry. Al Pacino took the leading role for Sidney Lumet's film, which won an Oscar for Frank Pierson's screenplay. The film was inspired by a real-life robbery that took place in Brooklyn, New York in 1972. It is best-known for "Attica! Attica!" - the chant Pacino's character uses to incite the onlookers who gather outside the bank after he and his fellow robber take its employees hostage. The chant refers to the excessive police force that was allegedly used to quell a riot at a New York prison in 1971. No date has been set for the production, though it is expected to premiere on Broadway. Warner Bros Theatre Ventures is behind a number of stage and screen ventures, among them the current Broadway production of Misery starring Bruce Willis. It also co-produced the West End musical adaptation of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, currently in its third year at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Matt Wilmot, 40, was found in the excavation, dug by Affinity Water, near his Luton home on Sunday. His partner of 24 years, Tania Banks, said the hole was uncovered and barriers around it knocked down. Affinity Water declined to comment while investigations into Mr Wilmot's death were taking place. Ms Banks said she was informed the father-of-two, died after falling head first into the 5ft (1.5m) hole, near his home in Devon Road. "There wasn't a cover over the hole and we were told the barriers had been knocked down, so the hole was there. "I think it definitely should have been more secure. They came around after (Mr Wilmot's discovery) and put up metal barriers - why secure it more now if you thought it was safe enough to begin with? "I would class it as negligence," she said. "There is no way it should have been left like this." According to Affinity's website, the works in Devon Road were for "essential maintenance" to replace a stop tap. It is understood Mr Wilmot, a father-of-two, had been walking home from Dunstable, where he had been watching the FA Cup Final on Saturday afternoon, before he fell. His death was confirmed at about 07:15 BST on Sunday. Bedfordshire Police said it was not investigating Mr Wilmot's because it was not suspicious. A file on the case has been sent by police to the coroner. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said: "We are aware of this incident and we are making enquiries alongside the police". It allowed one to drink unaided for the first time in nearly 15 years. The technique, described in the journal Nature, links a sensor implanted in the brain to a computer, which translates electrical signals into commands. In years to come, scientists want to reconnect the brain to paralysed limbs to enable them to function again. The project was a partnership by Brown University and the Department of Veteran Affairs, Rhode Island, and the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston. In 2006 in a previous Nature paper, the team showed that the same neural interface system could be used by a paralysed patient to control a cursor on a computer screen. The key is a tiny sensor implanted on to the surface of the motor cortex. Thinking about moving an arm or hand activates neurons in this part of the brain and the electrical activity is sent via a cable to a computer, which translates them into commands. Both patients in this latest research project were paralysed many years ago by strokes and have no viable movement below the neck. Video footage shows 58-year-old Cathy Hutchinson using the neural interface to control a robotic arm and bring a flask of coffee to her mouth. It was the first time in nearly 15 years that she had taken a drink unaided. See how a 'smart hand' is controlled with thoughts alone She communicates by picking out letters on a board using eye movement and wrote: "I couldn't believe my eyes when I was able to drink coffee without help. I was ecstatic. I had feelings of hope and a great sense of independence." That was echoed by Prof John Donoghue, a neurologist at Brown University. He said: "There was a moment of true joy, true happiness. It was beyond the fact that it was an accomplishment. I think it was an important advance in the field of brain-computer interfaces that we had helped someone do something they had wished to do for many years." This research shows that the part of the brain that deals with movement continues to function more than a decade after paralysis. Furthermore, the chip continues to function long-term - Cathy Hutchinson had the sensor fitted six years earlier. The technology is years away from practical use and the trial participants used the system under controlled conditions in their homes with a technician on hand. Nonetheless, another of the report authors, Prof Leigh Hochberg, said the team had four goals: Prof Hochberg freely admitted that the third and fourth goals were distant ambitions but they were the "real dream" for people with such disabilities. The researchers say it is impossible to put a timescale on when this might be achieved. Story Landis, director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, which part-funded the work, said: "This technology was made possible by decades of investment and research into how the brain controls movement. "It's been thrilling to see the technology evolve from studies of basic neurophysiology and move into clinical trials, where it is showing significant promise for people with brain injuries and disorders." The Swiss bank said US regulators were investigating potential sales of so called "bearer bonds". These bonds can be transferred without registering ownership, enabling wealthy clients to potentially hide assets. "We are cooperating with the authorities in these investigations," the bank said. The fresh investigation by the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York and from the US Securities and Exchange Commission comes after UBS paid $780m (£512m) in 2009 to settle a separate Justice Department tax-evasion probe. And it comes as authorities in a range of countries are considering examining HSBC's actions in helping more than 100,000 wealthy individuals avoid paying tax. UBS made the announcement as it revealed a better-than-expected 13% rise in fourth quarter net profit to 963m Swiss francs (£683.9m). However, it warned the increased value of the Swiss franc relative to other currencies, following the Swiss National Bank's decision to abandon the cap on the currency's value against the euro, would "put pressure" on its profitability. "The increased value of the Swiss franc relative to other currencies, especially the US dollar and the euro, and negative interest rates in the eurozone and Switzerland will put pressure on our profitability and, if they persist, on some of our targeted performance levels," it warned. UBS results for the full year, were hit by more than $1bn to settle past scandals. In November, it was one of six banks fined by UK and US regulators over their traders' attempted manipulation of foreign exchange rates, paying 774m Swiss francs in total. It also paid $300m in the second quarter to settle charges it helped wealthy German clients evade tax. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is continuing to investigate UBS over currency manipulation allegations.

Ciaran Martin, chief executive of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), told the Sunday Times many of the attacks "threatened national security". Attempts by Russian and Chinese state-sponsored hackers were among those being investigated, he added. Mr Martin spoke ahead of the official opening of the NCSC in London. He told the newspaper that attempts on government departments were designed to "extract information on UK government policy on anything from energy to diplomacy to information on a particular sector". These include alleged hacks similar to those on the US Democratic National Committee, which led to the publication of leaked emails from Hillary Clinton in the run-up to the US election. US intelligence services have stated the attack was an attempt by the Kremlin to interfere in the presidential election. Mr Martin said there had been "a step-change in Russian aggression in cyber space" over the last two years. "Part of that step change has been a series of attacks on political institutions, political parties, parliamentary organisations and that's all very well evidenced by our international partners and widely accepted." Meanwhile, Chancellor Phillip Hammond - a former defence and foreign secretary - said the NCSC had blocked 34,550 "potential attacks" on government departments and members of the public in the last six months - a rate of about 200 a day. Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, he warned that the "internet revolution" raised the threat of being held to ransom by hackers, the theft of intellectual property and the "shutting down of critical national infrastructure". Crane, 20, became the first overseas player to represent the Australian state side since Imran Khan in 1985. He followed it up with an impressive couple of displays in the North v South series in UAE as the South won 3-0. "It's a very different pressure being an overseas player in Australia than a local one that's for sure," Crane said. He found himself called into the New South Wales set-up after impressing during his winter placement in Sydney grade cricket for Gordon CC. Former Australia leg-spinner Stuart MacGill was instrumental in his inclusion for the game against South Australia earlier this month and became Crane's mentor down under. "He really helped me through the nerves and the pressure on the first day of that game," Crane told Test Match Special. "He presented me with my cap and you really feel the history of it when you play for a team like NSW and 742 is the number on your cap. "A fair few people have donned that blue cap and it was an amazing experience and an absolute honour." Crane produced match figures of 5-116, but had little time to bask in his achievement as he headed straight to UAE for the 50-over North v South series. A 3-0 whitewash alongside Hampshire team-mates James Vince, Liam Dawson and Tom Alsop saw Crane take the headlines in Tuesday's final game in Abu Dhabi with four wickets for one run in the space of 10 balls. But, despite a headline-grabbing few weeks, the young spinner is staying level-headed ahead of the new domestic season. "I've got to understand I'm still quite young and a long way down the pecking order," he said. "I'll just keep doing my stuff for Hampshire and hope this year I can go on from there. Crane's next game will be for MCC in Abu Dhabi against county champions Middlesex from Sunday. This season, the League Two Chairboys have a chance of another slice of glory as they travel to Premier League title contenders Tottenham in the fourth round on Saturday. But who are the men trying to take down Spurs on the back of a 16-match unbeaten run in all competitions, which has taken them from a relegation battle into fifth place in the fourth tier? Wycombe midfielder Sam Wood certainly did not take a conventional route into football. At 16, when most up-and-coming footballers are in academies, Wood was fitting carpets in Kent while playing for non-league Cray Wanderers. Two years later, when most players have signed professional deals, he was working in a shoe shop as a Christmas temp. But after a friend introduced him to former Southend midfielder and Dream Team actor Andy Ansah, Wood was thrust into the world of football modelling. "I did some body doubling for Lionel Messi in an advert, which not a lot of people know about," said Wood. "They flew me out to Spain and put me up in a hotel. I did all the stuff and he would come in to do all of the interviews about 20 yards away. But I've also done a few with Cristiano Ronaldo, I think about three adverts." During their days at Arsenal, Cesc Fabregas and Eduardo were also played by Wood. Though still a non-league player at the time, his ability on the pitch was being put to good use elsewhere. "We did a bit of filming at Millwall with Zlatan [Ibrahimovic] and [Marco] Materazzi. A corner came in and Materazzi was heading it in. I was crossing the ball but you don't see me on camera," he said. "I was still working at Bluewater Shopping Centre and playing for Bromley so it was whenever I could get the days off." It was during a trial at Brentford that the then 21-year-old finally got his break after impressing in a behind-closed-doors game against Fulham, signing his first contract at the end-of-season awards. Wood helped the Bees win the League Two title and was named supporters' player of the year in his first season. After four years and a loan spell at Rotherham, he joined Wycombe, for whom he has made more than 150 league appearances. Sign up for the 2017 FA People's Cup and take your chance to win tickets to the FA Cup final and achieve national five-a-side glory. But what about his other skill? "In the first season at Brentford people were asking me to come round to do their carpets and I said 'nah, nah'. "I did my mum's carpet that season but it didn't go well, and I haven't done it since. I'd got rid of my tools so I was borrowing tools, and it kind of made me realise I'd better not do this any more and keep working hard in training." When Scott Kashket joined Wycombe Wanderers on a free transfer in the summer, very few people batted an eyelid. But the 20-year-old forward has been a revelation, scoring 14 goals in 18 appearances. It has been quite a journey for a man who quit the game as a 15-year-old to play futsal for Great Britain's Jewish team, having been told he was too small for football. He returned to football in 2012 after Spanish Serie B side Hercules spotted him playing the indoor game, before signing for Leyton Orient, only to be told chairman Francesco Becchetti had apparently blocked him from playing. "He wouldn't even give me reasons why, he wouldn't even let me train," said Kashket. "I just wanted to get out of there and make a fresh start as soon as possible." A fresh start was made at Adams Park, and he has since struck up a formidable partnership with Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa, but there was one game on Kashket's mind when he signed for Wycombe. "The first thing I looked for was 'when are we playing Orient?' I started playing a couple of weeks before that and I just wanted to score and celebrate so the chairman could see it." And score, he did - the only goal in a 1-0 victory. Kashket comes from a family of Tottenham fans, and his father Russell is a tailor of note, having reportedly made the suit Prince William wore for his marriage to Kate Middleton in 2011. "A royal wedding is not going to come around very often, so it was brilliant to be able do that," said Kashket. "I don't really take too much interest in it. That wasn't my thing. I always wanted to play football ever since I was a kid and now that's exactly what I'm doing." And what is it like to play against the side he has supported since he was a boy in the FA Cup? "It was a brilliant draw and it's even better because it'll be the last chance to play at White Hart Lane, because they're moving out." It is not often a lower-league footballer would be popular in the Far East, but that is certainly the case for Chairboys midfielder Luke O'Nien. The former Watford trainee's grandfather came from Singapore and, before last season's FA Cup match against Aston Villa, a call came into the club asking to speak to him. "It wasn't a secret but it wasn't really well known that I had a quarter-Singaporean in me," said O'Nien. "A Singaporean reporter contacted the club and we did a big interview over Skype, which made the front cover of a sports magazine. "It was bizarre because I've never had anything like it before." While his grandfather was an artist, it is O'Nien's great uncle that is most well known in the island city state. "He was a government minister and very influential in the housing in Singapore in the 1960s," said the 22-year-old. Very influential is an understatement. Lim Kim San has been labelled "the man who helped to house a generation", helping oversee the building of more houses in three years than the previous 32 combined. Having been brought up in Hertfordshire, O'Nien qualifies for the Singapore national team. Asked if he would play for the country, he said: "You never know. "It would always be an honour to represent your country so if the opportunity came up I'd give it some serious consideration. "But it is like 'I've got a home game, I'll see you in a couple of days' and jump on a plane." Every summer, out-of-contract footballers hunt for their next deal. But in a saturated market you need to do something to stand out. Step forward German centre-back Max Muller. "I was injured for the second half of last season so my agent and I had an idea to get a video together of my best scenes from when I was fit," he said. "I don't even know which clubs got the video, but Gareth obviously replied. He said he liked it but wanted me to come over for a week's trial." Ainsworth would probably have never heard of Muller before, a man whose previous clubs played in the German and Austrian second divisions. But of the hundreds of player videos Ainsworth was sent by agents, Muller's was the one to catch his eye, and he was invited to the club's pre-season tour of France. It was there, playing for a foreign club he had never even heard of, that his hamstring injury from the previous season flared up once more, leaving him set for a lengthy on the sidelines and without a contract to fall back on. "Gareth gave me a few days off to go home and speak to my family and get all the support, because I was honestly thinking about quitting football," said Muller in impeccable English. "It was my third hamstring injury in half a season, and it was a grade three as well which would take about four to five months to heal." Despite his injury, Ainsworth was convinced Muller could be a success and gave him the contract and rehab to get through his injury. The defender, who had a trial at Premier League side Stoke City at the age of 18, has since played in three EFL Trophy games on his way back to fitness. And, if called upon against Tottenham should first-choice pairing of Anthony Stewart and Aaron Pierre be unavailable, Ainsworth and Muller could be rather thankful for taking the time to watch an out-of-the-blue video. By creating a "smoke curtain" they hope to impede visibility from warplanes that have been carrying out bombing raids. Rebel-held parts of Aleppo have been heavily bombarded recently by pro-government forces. Rebels have launched an offensive to try to break a government siege. Russia is a key backer of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and is supporting pro-government forces with air strikes. Government forces cut off rebel-held eastern parts of Aleppo last month. Rami Jarrah, a journalist covering events in Syria, says the burning tyres are effective. "It's causing confusion for the jets and a diversion for the offensive on the ground that aims to break the siege. "Everyone is doing it but to participate in the resistance this is really the only thing the children can do." They are promoting a series of hashtags on Twitter to try to build momentum including #AngerForAleppo and #AleppoUnderSiege. Aid organisations believe about 250,00 civilians still live in the rebel-controlled areas of Aleppo. On Monday rebel fighters shot down a Russian helicopter killing all five on board. The aircraft was returning from delivering humanitarian aid to the besieged city of Aleppo, Russian officials said. It is not clear which group brought the helicopter down. Several more were injured in the blast. BASF said the explosion had happened during work on a pipeline route for transporting raw chemicals to shipping. Flames and a cloud of smoke could be seen in a harbour area in the north of the town, where oil and gas tankers supply the plant. Residents were told to close their windows as the cloud of smoke spread. The explosion happened at about 11:20 (09:20 GMT) on Monday. BASF officials said the fire that caused the blast began in a supply line that transported flammable liquids and liquefied gas to a tank at the harbour. Police ruled out that the incident was caused by a terrorist attack, reports said. Seven people were injured, six seriously. The company's medical director said the situation was still confused and changing from minute to minute. Several fires broke out after the blast and there were reports of some residents living close to the port having breathing difficulties. Officials later stressed there was no evidence of a risk to public health. A pall of smoke rose about 100m (330ft) into the air and nearby towns and cities were all warned of potential hazards. Five hours after the incident, small fires were still burning in the area, although all were under control, officials said. BASF manager Uwe Liebelt said the cause of the blast was not yet known but added that 14 facilities had been shut down. A separate explosion that happened three hours earlier in the nearby town of Lampertheim was not related, he said. The BASF plant is the world's biggest chemical complex. Among the facilities that were turned off were two steam crackers that make up the heart of its Ludwigshafen facility. Steam is used to "crack" naphtha gas at the site, ultimately to make products such as ethylene, propylene and hydrogen. Rhineland-Palatinate police warned motorists in the area to avoid the towns of Oppau, Edigheim and Pfingstweide. Kakao Corp announced Lee Seok-Woo's departure a week after he was charged, but not detained, by prosecutors. Mr Lee had been in charge of the KakaoTalk app until August, when he moved to an advisory role. The company says that its chat app has more than 100 million users. "Lee said he would like to take on new challenges," Kakao Corp said in a statement provided to the Korea Herald newspaper, adding that he was scheduled to formally step down on Saturday. Last week's indictment was the first time the South Korean authorities had charged an internet industry insider with violating the country's Protection of Children and Juveniles from Sexual Abuse Act. The law says mobile service operators must take adequate steps to stop child abuse photos and videos circulating on their platforms, but does not set out specific measures they must take. KakaoTalk allows users to hold both one-to-one and group conversations and to send multimedia content to each other, and thus hosts a huge amount of data. The company had indicated it had taken steps to tackle illegal material. "We are making a genuine effort, by scanning for keywords, looking for malicious links, and allowing users to report objectionable material," the company told the Hankyoreh news site last week. "But requiring us to filter out even more obscene material on a private service necessarily implies a degree of censorship that would infringe on the privacy of users." The indictment will likely raise concerns at other chat apps, which have also had problems tackling youngsters swapping sexually explicit images of themselves and others. KakaoTalk has previously been criticised for not doing enough to protect its members' information. Last year, it faced a user backlash after it emerged that it was handing over communications logs to local authorities on a regular basis. That led to a U-turn, and in October the firm said it would stop complying with wiretapping warrants. The Centre for Deaf People, a charity, sold its premises to pay off a pension deficit. Trustee Sandra Smith said deaf people in Bristol "needed a new base". Plans for the new centre include recruiting a fundraiser, a book keeper and setting up a website. The original centre was established in 1962 and became a focal meeting point for Bristol's deaf community - complete with its own skittle alley. Ms Smith said: "We do need a new base, where people know that they can come and meet - especially for young people". She added it was not just about "alleviating the loneliness" but about somewhere people could go who "were all the same". Six years ago the charity ran into difficulties when they had their core funding cut by the council. Former trustees and management, who are no longer involved in the charity, said they were "devastated to hear about the closure of the centre". The firm said production capacity at its Kidsgrove facility in Staffordshire outweighed demand and would be closing by the end of March. Some workers may be able to move to other locations, a spokesman said. Unite said it suspected the firm wants to move work to Berlin, something the firm has denied. The union said it had "serious questions" about the closure of a "profitable" site. More on this story and others Staffordshire "This news is a cruel blow for these dedicated workers and will have an adverse impact on the local economy and the wider supply chain," said regional officer, Zoe Mayou. "We don't think that the management has explained in a coherent fashion why this plant needs to close next spring, with production ceasing in December." Drives and converters to produce electricity are made at the plant. The company confirmed 232 jobs would be affected. The union will meet workers on Thursday to discuss the next steps. In a statement, the firm said: "We are committed to our customers and are working to ensure there will be no disruption to production deliveries and service support now and in the future. "Employees are the heart of our business, and we recognize this is difficult for our workers and their families." Staff will begin leaving from 28 October until March. Kidsgrove MP Ruth Smeeth said she was "disappointed" by the "heartbreaking" news and would work with Staffordshire and Newcastle councils to bring a new employer to the site. General Electric employs around 22,000 people in the UK at 60 sites. The system is designed to see money transferred within a few hours into people's accounts. The problem had a knock-on effect for customers of other banks. However the bank said that as of 17:00 on Monday the problem had been resolved. "We are aware of an issue that affected some faster payments earlier today, and apologise to customers that were affected," said a bank spokeswoman. "All other payment services were unaffected, ensuring that customers could continue to process the significant majority of transactions." A spokeswoman for the Payments Council, which oversees UK payments strategy, said the problem had been with Lloyds Banking Group, which had not been able to send or receive customers' faster payments. "This is the system that is used to process telephone, internet and standing order payments," she said. "This is not an issue for the central Faster Payments System, or any systems processing other types of payments, which continue to operate as normal." Lloyds said that all of its other payment services had been unaffected by the problem, and that customers could still process the "significant majority" of their transactions. Under the scheme, launched in May 2008, money moved between two participating banks should clear within 24 hours. The Faster Payments System was set up because bank customers found it frustrating that transferring cash from one account to another at a different bank took several days. The problem seems to have originated at the weekend. Some bank customers had reported waiting for money, including wages, to be transferred into their accounts, and now not knowing when the payments would arrive. Bob Iger didn't name the film, but it was thought to be Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. But now Iger has told Yahoo Finance: "To our knowledge we were not hacked." "We decided to take [the threat] seriously but not react in the manner in which the person who was threatening us had required." But, he added: "We don't believe that it was real and nothing has happened." Iger had told employees earlier this month that the hackers had demanded the ransom in bitcoin and that they would release the film online in a series of 20-minute chunks unless it was paid. The Disney boss was keen to stress how technology has benefitted Disney but also said it also presented significant challenges to the film industry. "In today's world, cyber security is a front burner issue," he said. "We like to view technology more friend than foe... [but] it is also a disruptor."

The incident happened in Cupar Road, Guardbridge, near St Andrews, at about 10:30 on Saturday. Emergency services were called to the scene where a number of parked cars and a garden wall were badly damaged. Police said a man was treated for minor injuries and inquiries were continuing into how the crash happened. A force spokesman said: "At around 10.30am police received a report of a road collision involving an HGV and a number of parked cars in Cupar Road, Guardbridge. "One person was treated for minor injuries and inquiries are ongoing." The petrol bomb was thrown at a house in Alfred Street Place at about 03:45 BST on Friday. A window in the house was smashed and scorch damage caused to an exterior wall. "This attack has caused a great deal of shock to the family involved and the wider community of Ballymena," DUP MLA Paul Frew said. "Thankfully nobody was injured in this attack, but we could have a very different story emerging from this area today." Police have appealed for anyone with any information about the attack to contact them. In the West Bank, several traditional Palestinian industries are still utilising historical techniques fine-tuned through generations - but once flourishing industries, such as shoemaking in Hebron or olive oil soap production in Nablus, are barely surviving, with a fraction of their former workforces. Photographer Rich Wiles has been documenting these industries, some of which may not survive much longer in the current political and economic climate. The 26-year-old was out of contract at the end of the season but his new deal ties him to the club until 2019. Former Exeter trainee Norwood moved to Rovers from Forest Green in July 2015 and has netted 30 goals since then. "I've enjoyed playing here for the last year or so and the fans have been great to me, so it didn't take long to agree a new deal," he told the club website. Wales and Sheffield United striker Evans, 23, was convicted by a jury at Caernarfon Crown Court. Both he and Port Vale defender Mr McDonald, also 23, had denied rape at a Premier Inn near Rhyl, Denbighshire. The men admitted having sex with the woman on 30 May 2011, but said it was consensual. Court proceedings were disrupted after Mr McDonald was acquitted, prompting a brief adjournment. Mr McDonald, of Crewe, Cheshire, looked elated when his not guilty verdict was delivered, and family and friends shouted: "Yes, yes". One man left the public gallery and could be heard screaming outside the court. Judge Merfyn Hughes QC rose and the public gallery was cleared. Mr McDonald remained in the dock with Evans, 23, of Penistone, South Yorkshire, who held his head in his hands and cried. Mr McDonald hugged Evans and the two footballers banged heads together. When the judge returned to the court, the jury foreman gave the guilty verdict against Evans. The Sheffield United centre forward threw the headphones he was using to follow the trial on the floor and then looked shocked. In sentencing him to five years in prison the judge said: "The complainant was 19 years of age and was extremely intoxicated. "CCTV footage shows, in my view, the extent of her intoxication when she stumbled into your friend. "As the jury have found, she was in no condition to have sexual intercourse. "When you arrived at the hotel, you must have realised that." He told Evans that he might have been used to receiving attention from women in the past due to his success as a footballer, but this case was "very different". The judge said the sentence took into account that there had been no force involved and the complainant received no injuries. He also said the complainant was not "targeted" and the attack had not been "premeditated". "You have thrown away the successful career in which you were involved," he told Evans before sending him down. During the trial, the jury saw video interviews in which the woman, now 20, said she could not remember what happened and feared her drinks were spiked. She could not remember travelling to the hotel, but woke up in a double bed. "My clothes were scattered around on the floor," she said. "I just didn't know how I got there, if I had gone there with anyone. I was confused and dazed." The court heard that Evans, whose mother lives in Rhyl, had invited Mr McDonald and others for a bank holiday night out in the seaside town on 29 May. Because there was not enough space at Evans' mother's house, he booked Mr McDonald in to the hotel. The court heard that Mr McDonald met the woman and took her back to the hotel room, sending a text to Evans stating he had "got a bird". During Evans' evidence, he told the jury he had gone to the hotel, let himself in to Mr McDonald's room and watched his friend and the woman having sex. It was claimed Mr McDonald asked if his friend could "get involved", to which the woman said yes. The prosecution claimed that while the attack happened, Jack Higgins, an "associate" of the footballers, and Ryan Roberts, Evans' brother, watched through a window. The court heard the defendants had known each other since they were aged 10 and shared accommodation when they played for Manchester City's youth academy. Evans, a striker, has scored 35 goals for League One club Sheffield United this season and has 13 caps for Wales. Media playback is not supported on this device Captain Jamie Heaslip scored the opener as he became Ireland's most capped back-row forward. Darren Cave, Keith Earls, Simon Zebo and Felix Jones also crossed with Wales replying through Richard Hibbard, Justin Tipuric and Alex Cuthbert. The only downside for the Irish was an injury to flanker Tommy O'Donnell. Munster's O'Donnell will have a scan on an injured hip after being carried off on a stretcher late in the match. Media playback is not supported on this device Ulster wing Andrew Trimble, playing for the first time since October 2014, limped off with a foot strain in the first half, and Wales captain Scott Williams was taken off as a precaution with a calf strain. The result will see Ireland move to second in World Rugby's rankings, overtaking South Africa. And it leaves Wales coach Warren Gatland and Ireland's Joe Schmidt with very different headaches as they reduce their respective squads ahead of their next warm-up matches. Welsh players hoping to impress had an uncomfortable afternoon behind a pack which was outplayed by a more experienced Irish eight. Up to 10 of them will be cut from the squad in the next week, with Schmidt due to shed seven from Ireland's before they play Scotland next week. Wales face the Irish again in Dublin on 29 August. The last time these teams met Wales beat Ireland 23-16 in one of the best matches seen at the Millennium Stadium, with the Welsh victory built on a remorseless defensive effort. There could not have been a greater contrast as Ireland's more streetwise side took advantage of gaps around the fringes of the Welsh rucks and scrums, with Eoin Redden, Heaslip and Earls in particular showing the benefit of their experience. Wales were outpaced and out-thought, with Ireland sharper in everything they did and quick to take advantage of Welsh handling errors which were not in short supply. Media playback is not supported on this device An initial period of Welsh pressure was followed by half an hour of total Irish dominance which resulted in three tries before Wales replied with Hibbard's touchdown after a clever lineout move involving Dominic Day and Justin Tipuric. Eli Walker's acrobatics almost resulted in another Welsh try before the interval, but Wales' good finish to the first half was tempered by the fact Ireland themselves butchered two glorious scoring chances, and Scott Williams needed to pull-off a last-gasp cover tackle to stop Trimble scoring after a 70-yard break out. The Welsh revival was short lived as replacement Zebo dived over from close range after Welsh flanker Ross Moriarty was yellow carded for a high tackle on the Munster winger. Full-back Felix Jones rounded off a fine move before Wales finally clicked, but with the match already lost. Tipuric capped a fine showing by rounding off a flowing move and Cuthbert scored in added time. But with just over a month to go before the World Cup kicks off, Ireland will be the far happier camp.

The Scottish Borders Walking Festival takes place in Peebles this year between 3 and 9 September. It will be held in Hawick in 2018; Ettrick, Yarrow and Selkirk the following year and Jedburgh and Ancrum in 2020. The annual event, established in 1995, is said to bring "significant economic benefits" to the region. Scottish Borders Council's Countryside Access Team is tasked with ensuring the festival takes place each year. It invites expressions of interest from all of the area's community councils. Six communities responded to the call for hosts for 2018 to 2020 and the three successful bids have now been confirmed. Mae stori'r adeilad yn bennod bwysig yn hanes y Gymru fodern, ond mae'n cael ei drawsnewid ar hyn o bryd gyda chynlluniau i agor gwesty, bwytai, bar a chanolfan treftadaeth o dan yr enw 'The Exchange Hotel'. Dyma olwg ar sut mae'r adeilad wedi newid dros y blynyddoedd, a beth yw'r cynlluniau ar gyfer y dyfodol. The Coal Exchange building in Cardiff Bay was once one of the most important buildings in Wales. Its story is important in the industrial history of Wales, and the iconic building iscurrently being redeveloped with plans to open a hotel, restaurants, bars and a heritage centre under the new name The Exchange Hotel. Here's a look at how the building has changed over the years, and the plans forits future. Ar ddiwedd y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg, Caerdydd oedd prif borthladd glo y byd ac oherwydd bod cymaint o fusnes yn mynd drwy'r bae fe agorwyd y Gyfnewidfa Lo yn 1886. At the end of the nineteenth century, Cardiff was the coal capital of the world andwith so much trade coming through Cardiff Bay the Coal Exchange was opened in 1886. Yma, ar ddechrau'r ugeinfed ganrif, cafodd y cytundeb masnachol cyntaf gwerth £1m ei arwyddo. Roedd y cytundeb yn ymwneud â gwerthu 2,500 o dunelli o lo i gwmni yn Ffrainc. It was in this building at the start of the twentieth century that the first £1m trade deal was signed, with 2,500 tonnes of coal being sold to a company in France. Roedd 10,000 o bobl y diwrnod yn masnachu yn y gyfnewidfa, ac ar un adeg roedd prisiau glo'r byd yn cael eu dyfarnu yma. There were 10,000 people trading in the building every day, and at one time the price of the world's coal was determined here. Caeodd y Gyfnewidfa Lo yn 1958, gydag allforio glo yn dod i ben yn 1964. Roedd cynlluniau i gartrefu'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yma ond fe bleidleisiodd Cymru yn erbyn datganoli yn 1979. Roedd hefyd bwriad i osod pencadlys S4C yma pan sefydlwyd y sianel yn 1983. The Coal Exchange was closed in 1958, with the exporting of coal ending in the mid 1960s. There were plans for the Welsh Assembly to be homed here, but the Welsh electorate voted against devolution in 1979. There were also plans for S4C headquarters to be based here in 1983. Fel rhan o'r gwaith i adnewyddu'r adeilad, bydd ystafell newydd yn cael ei chreu yn agos i'r to a fydd yn dal dros 200 o bobl gyda bar a lle bwyta yno. As part of the restoration worka new room will be created above the main hall with a dining area and bar holding over 200 people. Mae'r brif neuadd wedi cynnal nifer o gyngherddau gan enwau mawr fel Manic Street Preachers, Arctic Monkeys, Van Morrison a Biffy Clyro. Mae ffilmiau a rhaglenni teledu wedi'u ffilmio yn yr adeilad hefyd, fel Dr Who, Sherlock, Stella, Casualty a chystadleuaeth Miss Wales. The main hall as been used to stage concerts for big names such as the Manic Street Preachers, Artic Monkeys, Van Morrison and Biffy Clyro. Television programmes and various shows have also used the venue, such as Dr Who, Sherlock, Stella, Casualty and the Miss Wales finals. Roedd Banc Barclays wedi ei leoli yng nghefn yr adeilad ar un adeg, ac roedd yn cael ei rentu fel swyddfeydd i gwmnïau. Ond dinistriwyd rhan yma'r adeilad mewn tân yn yr 1980au. Mae cynlluniau i leoli un o'r bariau newydd yma wedi i'r gwaith o adnewyddu gael ei gwblhau. A bar will be situated at the back of the building whereBarclays Bank and other offices once were. This part of the building was destroyed in a fire in the 1980s. A bar will be located here after the renovation is complete. Mae'r cyntedd yn dechrau cymryd siâp. Y cam nesaf fydd adnewyddu'r lloriau. Progress is being made in the lobby area, with new flooring coming as part of the new developments. Mae disgwyl y bydd y datblygwyr newydd yn talu dros £40m i adnewyddu'r adeilad. It's expected that the developers will spend over £40m on the project.

Strong gusts meant the Irish Ferries high speed crossings from Holyhead to Dublin at 11:50 and 17:15 GMT were scrapped. Also cancelled were the 08:45 and 14:30 GMT high speed service between Dublin and Holyhead. The Met Office said the weather in the north west of Wales would become "drier and brighter" on Tuesday afternoon. Passengers from the high speed ferries are being transferred to cruise ferry sailings instead, Irish Ferries said on its website. Stena Line services to and from Anglesey have not been affected. HM Coastguard at Holyhead said they had experienced "occasional" gale force 8 gusts but the winds appeared to be easing and they had not had any reports of people getting into difficulty in the sea. The 2 Sisters Food Group is proposing to move the retail packing department from its St Merryn operation in south Wales to its site in Cornwall. "It is the only way our business can survive and prosper for the longer term," a statement from St Merryn said. The Welsh Government and the local MP are in talks with the company. St Merryn, which was taken over by 2 Sisters Food Group in 2013, packs steaks and chops at the Merthyr site it has run since 1999. The Welsh Government and Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney MP Gerald Jones are to work with company directors during a 45-day consultation period. "In total there are about 1,000 staff at the plant, so we are talking about a third of the workforce," said Mr Jones. "It's a large well-established employer and this a devastating blow to the local community if this change goes through. "If you think about Merthyr Tydfil and the wider community, some of the areas of depravation, to lose this amount of jobs would be a huge blow." The plant received £1.2m of support in May 2010 for processing equipment from the Welsh Government's single investment fund before the operation was taken over by 2 Sisters. That such a long-established company is set to lose a third of its workforce in Merthyr is a terrible blow for the staff, but it also has a knock-on impact in the wider economy which will affect many others. The town has had a series of positive announcements recently as its regeneration strategy seemed to be paying dividends. Two-hundred-and-fifty highly skilled jobs were created by General Dynamics at its tank assembly plant and exhaust maker, Tenneco Walker, took on 200 people. Trago Mills has also started work on a retail centre that will employ 400 people. The news of 350 job losses at 2 Sisters is a blow to the progress that was being made. "The announcement made this afternoon gives significant cause for concern for those staff working in the company's retail packing operation in Merthyr Tydfil," said Economy Secretary Ken Skates. St Merryn Foods, which currently employs 1,100 staff at the site on Penygarnddu Industrial Estate, confirmed the job losses were part of a "wider strategic review" and could happen as early as January. "We do not take the decision to launch this review lightly, but it is the only way our business can survive and prosper for the longer term," the statement said. "Regrettably, the red meat sector in the UK faces many serious challenges including declining markets, falling volumes, higher input costs and a fiercely competitive retail landscape. "This extremely difficult environment means the packing operation at Merthyr, which includes the packing of steaks and chops, is no longer sustainable. "Our main focus now is to begin discussions with our colleagues to explore every available option to mitigate the potential loss of this function, which will include seeking relocation and redeployment opportunities elsewhere in the group. "This decision does not impact our beef and lamb slaughter and cutting operations and these will continue to operate as usual at Merthyr Tydfil. The site will continue to employ up to 700 colleagues." Nick Ireland, food union Usdaw's divisional officer, said: "This proposal will be devastating news for the loyal and hardworking staff at the Merthyr Tydfil site, especially so in the run up to Christmas. "Usdaw will be doing everything we can during the 45 day consultation process to look in detail at the proposals with a view to safeguarding jobs, maximising future employment at the Merthyr Tydfil site and securing the best deal possible for staff." According to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Seymour Hersh, the US raid that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was not a secret, risky US action, it was a joint operation between the US and Pakistani military intelligence. The allegation has many in the US - and Pakistan - crying foul, and pointing to what they see as insufficient attribution and questionable conclusions throughout Hersh's lengthy piece. "The notion that the operation that killed Osama Bin Laden was anything but a unilateral US mission is patently false," said White House spokesperson Ned Price, adding that the piece was riddled with "inaccuracies and baseless assertions". At the heart of Hersh's article is the allegation that, starting in 2006, Bin Laden was under Pakistani control, kept in Abbottabad with the financial assistance of Saudi Arabia. Hersh says high-level Pakistani officials consented to allow the US to conduct its "raid" on the compound - a de facto assassination - after the US found out about Bin Laden's whereabouts through a source in Pakistani intelligence (and not, as reported, after interrogation of al-Qaeda detainees and extensive investigation into a Bin Laden courier). A deal was then struck that included allowing the US to set up detailed surveillance of the area, obtaining DNA evidence confirming Bin Laden's identity and even providing a Pakistani agent to help guide the operation - in exchange for continued US financial support of the nation's intelligence service and its leaders. As part of the agreement, according to Hersh, the US would hold off on announcing Bin Laden's death for a week, and then only say that he was killed in a drone strike in Afghanistan. Mr Obama double-crossed the Pakistanis, however, after one of the US helicopters crashed during the operation and the White House feared they could not contain the story. Instead Mr Obama spoke to the nation that night, announcing that US Navy special forces had conducted a daring attack based on months of secret intelligence-gathering, without the knowledge of the Pakistanis, concluding in a firefight in which Bin Laden - and other militants - were killed. In the following days, further details - sometimes conflicting and later disavowed - leaked out from the White House, angering US special forces commanders and defence officials. "The White House's story might have been written by Lewis Carroll," Hersh writes in the latest issue of the London Review of Books, referencing the author of Alice in Wonderland. His piece ends with a broad-based condemnation of the Obama administration's foreign policy operation. "High-level lying nevertheless remains the modus operandi of US policy, along with secret prisons, drone attacks, Special Forces night raids, bypassing the chain of command and cutting out those who might say no," he writes. Word of Hersh's story spread quickly, dominating political conversation on social media and repeatedly crashing the London Review of Books' website due to the heavy volume of traffic. It also didn't take long before some of Hersh's fellow journalists began questioning the story, most notably Max Fisher of Vox and Peter Bergen of CNN. The critiques fall into a few major categories: • Unreliable sources. Much of Hersh's article is based on the claims of unnamed intelligence officials in the US and Pakistan, none of whom were directly involved in the operation. The only named source, Asad Durrani, served in the Pakistani military intelligence more than two decades ago and says only that "former colleagues" of his back up Hersh's claims. Durrani was later contacted by CNN's Bergen, and he would only say that Hersh's account was "plausible". • Contradictory claims. Hersh disregards the fact that two of the Navy Seals involved in the attack on Bin Laden's compound have come out with details of the raid that directly contradict his account. Bergen, who visited the compound after the operation, writes that there was clear evidence of a protracted firefight, as the location was "littered almost everywhere with broken glass and several areas of it were sprayed with bullet holes". • Unrealistic conclusions. Why would the Saudis support a man who wanted to overthrow the Saudi monarchy? Why, if US support for Pakistan was part of the bargain, did US-Pakistani relations deteriorate in the years after the raid? If the US and Pakistan were co-operating, was a staged raid really the simplest possible way to ensure that Bin Laden was killed? As is often the case with conspiracy theories, perhaps the sharpest criticism of Mr Hersh's narrative is that it relies on a large cast of characters operating effectively while maintaining universal secrecy. Vox's Fisher accuses Hersh - who won a Pulitzer in 1970 for exposing the My Lai massacre of Vietnamese civilians at the hands of US soldiers - of producing a growing number of difficult-to-believe exposes based on tenuous evidence. In the last three years, for example, he has penned pieces alleging the George W Bush administration trained Iranian militants in Nevada and that Turkey was behind chemical weapons attacks in Syria. "Maybe there really is a vast shadow world of complex and diabolical conspiracies, executed brilliantly by international networks of government masterminds," Fisher writes. "And maybe Hersh and his handful of anonymous former senior officials really are alone in glimpsing this world and its terrifying secrets. Or maybe there's a simpler explanation." Meanwhile, conservative commentators in the US, who have long chafed at some of Hersh's accusations about US actions during the Bush administration, celebrated the criticism - while noting what they saw as the key motivating factor. "When Seymour Hersh manufactures crazy against Obama, suddenly he's a crank, not an elder statesman," tweets Breitbart's John Nolte. "With Bush he was a media GOD." In a television interview on Monday, Hersh tried to turn the tables, saying that the US account of the operation is the one that's unbelievable. "Twenty-four or 25 guys go in to the middle of Pakistan, take out a guy with no air cover, no protection, no security, with no trouble - are you kidding me?" he said. "Look, I'm sorry it goes against the grain," he added. "I've been doing this my entire life, and all I can tell you is I understand the consequences." There's a bit of internet shorthand, frequently used on Twitter, to preface an allegation that seems explosive but questionable: "Whoa if true". It seems the reaction to Hersh's piece so far has included a lot of "whoa" - but with a heavy emphasis on the caveat, "if true". Sannino quit two weeks ago with the Hornets second in the Championship and was replaced by Oscar Garcia. "He worked in a very old school, Italian way. It can be a big contrast to English football," Ekstrand, 25, told BBC Three Counties Radio. "Other than that, he was a great manager for me." Sannino's departure came after he appeared to experience a backlash from players, personified by winger Lloyd Dyer's decision to shout at the manager after scoring in a 2-0 win over Rotherham. Sannino, who was in charge for eight months after taking over from Gianfranco Zola, has since said the Watford players had "little desire to think about tactics". "With every manager there are always some parts of the squad that are less happy," said Swede Ekstrand. "I can only speak for me personally and I had nothing against Sannino. I had a good time with him. "Zola was very modern and wanted to play with pace and flow, and maybe Sannino was a bit more technical. Managers are not the same - sometimes you succeed, sometimes not." Former Brighton boss Garcia finds himself in the unusual position of taking over a side that are near the top of the table. He takes charge of his first game at Charlton on Saturday, after a week disturbed by international call-ups. "I think it's easier for him to come in now," said Ekstrand. "We are happy to have him here. We have to try and get along as quickly as possible and continue to get as many points as we can. "Little by little he is telling us about his ideas of the game. But he can't come in and change everything - it will be piece by piece." The Donegal GAA County Board met to discuss and vote on the option of granting a long-term deal for the county boss in Ballybofey on Monday. Gallagher had completed two years of his initial three-year term. Donegal lost to Tyrone in the Ulster SFC final in July and then went down to Dublin in the quarter-finals of the All-Ireland series in August. Gallagher, who succeeded All-Ireland winning manager Jim McGuinness in the job, is understood to have made the case to extend his stay to a special review committee last week. The Executive Committee then brought forward their proposal to club delegates, who debated the matter on Monday evening. With senior players Eamon McGee and Colm McFadden having retired, the former St Gall's clubman faces undertaking a rebuilding process. A number of players such as captain Michael Murphy and Ryan McHugh have spoken out in support of their manager in recent weeks.

The sixth-tier club were supported by ex-player Charlie Austin in a bid to raise £70,000 for ground improvements. The Dolphins, in their first season in the division, are currently in the promotion play-off places. "It's a massive relief. The tension over the last few months has been unreal," chairman Chris Reeves said. Poole have been assured recent improvements to their Tatnam Recreation Ground are sufficient to maintain their status in National League South and satisfy the FA's Category B grading for Step 2 of the non-league pyramid. But further work would be required should the Dorset club wish to make the step up to the National League if they are successful in the play-offs. Category A requirements include a minimum capacity of 4,000, which must include a minimum of 500 covered seats and 250 of them in one stand. Grounds must also have the ability to segregate home and away supporters. "That step between the two leagues could conceivably be the biggest in the whole football pyramid," Reeves told BBC Radio Solent. "But we've risen to every challenge so far, so why should the journey stop now? If we can make it better, then we'll just keep going for it." UK ministers want to make the change in England to improve efficiency and democratic accountability. Power over fire and rescue services is devolved to Wales, but not policing. Leighton Andrews said the idea could damage the work of local fire and rescue authorities in turning people away from fire-related crime. The Fire Brigades Union has opposed the idea of police control as "dangerous", claiming some commissioners had an "unfortunate record for ill-judged interference in operational matters". In a supportive letter to the union, Mr Andrews said: "It is clearly important for Fire and Rescue Authorities (FRAs) to collaborate closely with the police on many matters. "However, the excellent programmes the FRAs run to divert people away from fire-related crime depend on the trust and respect firefighters have in all sections of the community. "In Wales, we have very low re-offending rates among participants on such programmes. "If FRAs were seen as just an adjunct to the police, this could easily be jeopardised." Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Christopher Salmon - a Conservative - has said Wales "must not be left behind" if such plans are pursued in England, saying "joining up budgets and accountability" would improve such public services. If there are euro-fireworks, the most likely flashpoints are at the Commons question times - where Home Office, Justice, Cabinet Office (in charge of the online voter registration system, remember) and Prime Minister's questions all provide rich opportunities for the referendum campaigns to have a go at each other. And with increasing "blue on blue" attacks in recent days normal parliamentary politesse may be in short supply. The other big event will be the result of the election for a new Lord Speaker, to take over from Baroness D'Souza, in September. The election was held on Wednesday 8 June, but - as with the Speakership of the Commons - the result could not be confirmed until the winner had received the Royal Approbation, the approval of the Queen. The former health secretary, Lord Fowler, is the favourite. The Commons opens (2.30pm) with Home Office questions - and any post-weekend urgent questions or ministerial statements will be taken at 3.30pm. Then MPs move on to another big day of report stage proceedings on the Policing and Crime Bill. It may not be quite as intricate as the previous week's action on the Investigatory Powers Bill, but, as often happens with this type of criminal law bill, there are all kinds of amendments raining down from many different sources. There are plenty of issues attracting attention. Labour will have amendments down on a series of "victims' rights" issues - some inspired by the Hillsborough case, where shadow home secretary Andy Burnham has been active. A particular issue is ensuring some equality between victims or their relatives, and public authorities, in inquests and court cases, where they are often ranged against high-powered taxpayer-funded QCs. Labour will also be attempting to build some of the provisions of former DPP Kier Starmer's unsuccessful private member's bill on rights and entitlements of victims, from last year, into this bill. One of the big areas of interest is the treatment of mental health in the criminal justice system: Labour have a new clause (NC24) on the right to an independent mental health advocate. The Conservative backbencher and mental health campaigner Charles Walker has NC2 which says that someone detained against their will in a place of safety shall have the right to independent legal advice, and another NC42 that would require the home secretary to be notified whenever police officers are deployed on psychiatric wards. And the Lib Dem former health minister Norman Lamb offers NC40 banning the use of tasers on psychiatric wards. He has another amendment calling for people not to be removed to a place of safety that is a police station, except when their behaviour is so extreme they cannot be safely managed and no alternative place of safety is available. Another big subject area is child sexual exploitation where Mr Lamb pops up again with NC45 which requires that when the police or a local authority think a child has been sexually exploited or abused, they must refer them for assessment and make any necessary arrangements for their treatment or care. There's a cross-party new clause, NC25, along similar lines, to enable the Future in Mind report's recommendation that young people who have been sexually abused or exploited should receive a comprehensive initial assessment, and referral to appropriate services. There's cross party backing for NC6 to create the offence of abduction of a vulnerable child aged 16 or 17 - which is signed by Labour's Sarah Champion, Plaid Cymru's Liz Saville Roberts, the Green MP, Caroline Lucas, and the Lib Dem Alistair Carmichael. And a similar list of names appears on NC10, on the prevention of child sexual exploitation and private hire vehicles which would place local authorities under a duty to consider how they can prevent child sexual exploitation when they issue licences for taxis and private hire vehicles Labour's Ann Coffey, who led an inquiry by an all-party group into sexual exploitation has new clauses NC14 and NC13 creating prevention orders to stop grooming for criminal behaviour. Then there's NC18 from the Conservative Kit Malthouse to increase the maximum sentence for child cruelty from 10 years in jail to 14. Another new clause from Mr Malthouse, NC15, calls for a review of sentencing guidelines on crime against children and crimes where the victim is a child. And he also has NC16 which allow the police to apply for an order to mobile phone providers to block numbers on cards advertising prostitution. Click here for all the documents relating to the Policing and Crime Bill Plaid's Liz Saville Roberts has a series of clauses to give the National Assembly for Wales responsibility for policing - giving powers over policing, police pay, probation, community safety, and crime. And she also picks up the interest in cyber-crime taken by her Plaid predecessor Elfyn Llwyd with NC3 calling for a review of digital crime legislation with a view to consolidating it into a single statute. And she wants to add to the legislation with NC4 which would outlaw various forms of "cyberstalking" - it would become an offence to use a digital device to repeatedly locate, listen to or watch a person without legitimate purpose, to install spyware, a webcam or any other device or software on another person's property or digital device without permission. The clause lists a whole series of cyberstalking practices and it also calls for restrictions on the sale of spyware to under-16 s and require anyone purchasing it to state how they intended to use it. There's an anti-doping clause - NC39 - from Labour's Christina Rees - which would make it an offence to knowingly take a prohibited substance to boost performance. It would cover the entourage of an athlete and medical professionals who prescribe a prohibited substance. The Lib Dem former Scottish secretary Alistair Carmichael has two new clauses NC46 and NC47 on revenge pornography, making the disclosure of private sexual images with intent to cause distress an offence and providing a mechanism for compensation. The normal report stage caveats apply - not all of the above will be discussed - and some of the amendments and new clauses will be aimed more at pressing ministers to respond to an issue than at getting written into law. Look out for assurances that changes will be brought forward when the bill reaches the Lords... and look out for close votes on particular subjects, because that often provides a cue for peers to revisit the issue In Westminster Hall from 4.30pm - 7.30pm MPs will debate e-petition 125692, entitled Stop spending a fixed 0.7% slice of our national wealth on Foreign Aid. In the Lords, from 2.30pm peers will hear the result of their election for a new Lord Speaker. Then, after the regular half hour question time, they debate reports from two select committees: the Digital Skills Committee and the European Union Committee report on EU energy governance. The Commons meets at 11.30am for Justice questions and then they have the second reading of the Wales Bill - which sets out new powers to be transferred to the National Assembly for Wales or Welsh ministers. It also changes the basis on which the Assembly operated by moving to a "reserved powers model" along the lines of the devolution settlement in Scotland. The aim is to provide a clearer separation of powers between what is devolved and what is reserved to Westminster, allowing the Assembly to legislate on any subject not specifically reserved to Parliament. The day's Adjournment Debate is on provision for air passengers with dementia - led by the Conservative, Oliver Colvile. In Westminster Hall, there are debates on affordable housing in London (9.30am-11am); plutonium disposition (11am-11.30am); West Coast Rail franchise (2.30pm-4pm) and elected mayors outside city regions (4.30pm-5.30pm). In the Lords (from 2.30pm), after the usual half hour of questions to ministers, the main event is the second reading of the Children and Social Work Bill - Labour's Lord Watson of Invergowrie will put down an early marker expressing the Opposition's displeasure that so many of the core provisions will be left to regulations, to be published later. This runs against the recommendation of the Constitution, Secondary Legislation and Delegated Powers Committees of the Lords, who're concerned that too much major policy is pushed through when "skeleton bills" are fleshed out, after they've been passed. The argument is that this undermines proper scrutiny. This is particularly important, Labour say, when Clauses 20 - 40 of the bill provide for the secretary of state to set up a new regulator of social workers (which could actually be the secretary of state). This power and all details relating to the new regulator are left to secondary legislation which the House has yet to see - and the Labour calls on the government to publish the draft regulations before the House considers those clauses in committee. The Commons begins (11.30am) with Cabinet Office questions - followed at noon by the last Prime Minister's question time before the EU referendum, which will doubtless be a pretty charged occasion. Afterwards, the euro-vibe will continue with a Labour Opposition Day debate on the economic benefits of the United Kingdom's membership of the European Union. They don't normally nominate the subject of their debates as early as this - but on this occasion, I suppose, it's a no-brainer. In Westminster Hall, the debates cover jobs and livelihoods in developing countries, led by Conservative development specialist Jeremy Lefroy (9.30am-11am); infrastructure and regulations to support electric and low-emission vehicles (11am-11.30am); further education colleges and skills in Greater Manchester (2.30pm- 4pm); support for social investment (4pm-4.30pm) and, finally the Conservative Wendy Morton has a debate (4.30pm-5.30pm) aimed at highlighting the effect of the EU's proposals to achieve a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 on the UK ceramics industry - a big employer in her West Midlands constituency - it may have to buy all its carbon allowance after 2021, imposing what she warns will be "a huge economic burden". In the Lords, 11am question time is followed by a debate on a series of European Union Committee select committee reports on "The EU referendum and EU reform", "The process of withdrawing from the European Union", plus the Science and Technology Committee report on "EU Membership and UK Science". And then there is a debate on the European Union Committee reports on "The EU Action Plan against migrant smuggling" and "Operation Sophia, the EU's naval mission in the Mediterranean: an impossible challenge". And with that, Parliament rises for the EU referendum. MPs and Peers are due to return on 27 June - there's even a published agenda. But whether they stick to it rather depends on the referendum result. They may even come back for a Saturday sitting - the first since the Falklands War - if there is a vote to leave. Certainly there are contingency plans in place, for that eventuality. Routine checks by health visitors and medical appointments with her GP suggested Millie was thriving and developing normally. Witnesses said Rachael Martin was a caring and confident mother. But there was a change around the time of Millie's first birthday. The prosecution asked if it was a coincidence that Millie had suffered ten weeks of abuse, ten weeks when Barry McCarney had installed himself in their home. He was an unemployed labourer and had been going out with Rachael for just a few weeks when he moved in. Rachael Martin had met him through her father, who was his distant cousin, and she found him charming. "He treated me like a princess," she said, but admitted she did not know him very well before he moved in. She said he could not have been any nicer towards her daughter, playing with her and buying her presents. McCarney, known as "Budgie", told the police that he tried "to be a dad to Millie". However, people were starting to notice bruises and injuries on the toddler's head. Millie had taken her first steps on the day of her first birthday. Rachael Martin said she thought some of her daughter's injuries were not unusual for a "clumsy wee girl" who was learning to walk. Barry McCarney told her that Millie could be hitting her head on her cot or the wall at night. On 9 December 2009, Rachael put Millie to bed - it was the last time she would see her daughter's smile. Barry McCarney suggested to Rachael that she go out to the shop for a Kit Kat. She was away just six minutes but before she got home her daughter would be fighting for her life. Barry McCarney said he had found Millie in her cot and she had stopped breathing and he had attempted to resuscitate her. He rushed to a neighbour's house, but by the time he carried her through the doors of the Erne Hospital in Enniskillen, she was already in a "lifeless condition". Millie had suffered an injury to the back of her head caused by an impact against a hard surface. Medical evidence suggested the blow was fatal from the moment it was struck. The list of injuries discovered after her death was horrific. The toddler had suffered 21 fractured ribs, some inflicted up to four weeks before her death. She had terrible internal injuries caused by punching or prodding. She had also been recently sexually assaulted. During 13 hours of police interviews Barry McCarney said he did not know how Millie had got her injuries. He said he was disgusted and in shock about what had happened and said he "would not harm a hair on her head". The most heart-wrenching moments in the trial came when the jury was shown videos of the toddler. Those watching Millie dancing to the tune of Galway Girl on a mobile phone could imagine any other toddler enjoying being the centre of attention. But this little girl had already suffered weeks of horrific abuse. Two weeks before her death, her mother filmed Millie staring sadly into the camera as she sat on the sofa, glancing at Barry McCarney, a large lump visible on her forehead. The last images of Millie were on the Erne Hospital CCTV, being carried lifeless and dying in the arms of her killer. Watching those CCTV images in the dock, Barry McCarney wiped away tears, one of the only times he appeared to show any emotion. During the two month trial Barry McCarney chose to remain silent. He did not go into the witness box, in a case which the prosecution said cried out for answers from him. His lawyers argued the evidence against him was threadbare and attempted to blame Rachael Martin for her daughter's death. The idea that she had turned from "a loving, caring, devoted, responsible" mother into a "sadistic, vile, lying, evil murderess" was described by her barrister as "the biggest red herring in history". Rachael Martin went into the witness box and told the jury she had no idea that her daughter was being abused The prosecution argued that the injuries Millie had were "too significant, too severe and too many" for her mother not to have known Millie was being abused. Rachael said she had noticed that Millie's behaviour had changed and she had become more clingy. Millie would lie quietly in her cot each morning when before she would play with her toy mouse Mimsy. Rachael Martin said she thought she no longer liked the house at Glebe Park and also suggested she had begun to cry when she said goodnight. The prosecution said Millie was obviously afraid of what was going to happen to her and Rachael had failed to open her eyes to what was going on inside her own house to her own daughter. They claimed if she had taken appropriate action Millie would not have died. But she said it had never crossed her mind that Millie was being abused and if she had known then Barry McCarney would not have been anywhere near her. She said: "I didn't know I had a monster in my house". She told the court that the only guilt she felt was for letting Barry McCarney into her house. At the end of four days in the witness box Rachael Martin broke down and said what he had done had wrecked her whole life. She said: "I have to live with this for the rest of my life, without seeing my daughter growing up and never hearing the word "mummy" from her." Her defence barrister said Barry McCarney had misled her, just as he had attempted to mislead the police and the court. The killing of 15-month-old Millie was described in court as sheer undiluted evil beyond belief. The 11-day 2010 AIYF - featuring groups from more than 20 countries - runs from Wednesday until Saturday 7 August. Russia, South Africa, Canada and Trinidad are among the various nations taking part in the event's 38th year. AIYF chief executive Stewart Aitken said it was not just about the performances but also the "sharing of cultures and experience". An allowance due to 3,003 officers was wrongly calculated in March. Hampshire Constabulary apologised and said it would pay all the officers a flat rate allowance. In February, 1,300 officers received the wrong pay, with half being underpaid and half overpaid. Since November 2014, salaries have been the responsibility of H3 - a partnership between the county council, fire service and police, providing back-room services such as finance and payroll. Hampshire Police Federation said that since its introduction, there had been a "catalogue of errors". Chairman John Apter said: "We have lurched from one crisis to another. We have now reached the point that, when an officer looks at their pay slip, it's a guessing game as to whether it is correct or not. "H3 is not delivering the promises it made. It is not fit for purpose and a rethink on the future delivery of these services is now required." The latest error relates to "Bear Scotland" payments in which officers working overtime are compensated for loss of holiday pay. Hampshire Constabulary said the calculation for the year was based on a three-month period, creating "winners and losers". It said it would rectify the mistake by paying all the officers £60. Those paid more would not have to repay it. Acting Deputy Chief Constable David Pryde said: "I would, again, like to apologise to anyone who has been affected. We have acted swiftly to put this right." County council chief executive John Coughlan said: "We have been working closely with the constabulary to diagnose exactly what the underlying reason for the problems are and progress is being made. We'd like to apologise to anyone impacted." Trade union groups, human rights campaigners and religious organisations held the protest outside Dungavel. About 400 people, many with banners, gathered at the centre in South Lanarkshire to hear speakers including STUC president Lawrence Wason. Police said the event passed off peacefully with no arrests. Other speakers including the Reverend Sally Foster Fulton from the Church of Scotland and human rights lawyer Aamer Anwar also addressed the crowd. Mr Wason said: "We want to see an end to detention. We want to see a different, more humane immigration system, and we want to see the UK living up to its global responsibilities and providing safe haven for those who need it. "The people behind these walls are not a threat to our country. They are just people looking for a better life. We can have an asylum system without the need for detention." The STUC recently called for meetings with detainees over concerns that some may have been on hunger strike, and in March wrote to Home Secretary Theresa May about the matter. The request was denied and the organisation was refused access by the Home Office. The request came after figures obtained by BBC Scotland revealed dozens of detainees have been held at Dungavel for many months and, in some cases, more than a year. A Home Office spokeswoman said the home secretary had commissioned an independent review of detainees' welfare, which is due to be completed in the autumn. She added: "Detention and removal are essential parts of effective immigration controls. It is vital these are carried out with dignity and respect and we take the welfare of our detainees very seriously. "Detention is only ever used as a last resort, and for the shortest time possible, after all attempts to encourage individuals to leave voluntarily have failed." They were shot dead after the attackers crossed into Iran's Sistan Baluchistan province, according to reports. The gunmen then fled back across the border, Iranian official said. The identity of the attackers is not known. Sistan Baluchistan has seen frequent clashes in recent years between Iranian security forces and drug smugglers and Sunni rebel groups. The deputy governor of the province, Ali Asghar Mirshekari, said "armed terrorists" had infiltrated Iran and killed the border guards on Monday, Iran's official Irna news agency reported. Mr Mirshekari said they had used rocket-propelled grenades as well as guns. He called on Pakistan to arrest the attackers and hand them over, It is the deadliest attack in the province since October 2013, when 14 border guards were killed in an attack claimed by Sunni militant group Jaish Al-Adl (Army of Justice). The benchmark FTSE 100 index closed up 1.18%, or 71.58 points, at 6,146.10. Whitbread shares lost 1.4%, the biggest faller on the FTSE, after it said it would have to cut costs and raise prices to pay its staff the new government recommended Living Wage. Housebuilders Redrow shares rose 1.9%. Profits rose 53% helped by government's Help to Buy subsidy for some buyers. Shareholders in fellow builder Berkeley were also in the money after its shares climbed 2.3% on news it was on track to meet its profit targets. Outside the top 100, Punch Taverns' shares were up 3.2% after it said it would sell its 50% stake in its UK-based drinks wholesaler for £100.7m. On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.65% against the dollar to $1.5373 and also gained 0.45% against the euro to €1.3738. I had a chat with editor Nick James about the film and why it has bumped Citizen Kane off top spot after all these years. The most expensive ticket for the 2018 final will be $1,100, up from $990 for the 2014 final in Rio de Janeiro. The other tickets will cost $455 and $710. However, Russian residents get significantly discounted tickets. Ticket sales do not begin until next summer and passes for first round matches start at $105. That is an increase of about 16% and does not include the opening game. "We wanted to make sure that we priced tickets fairly to make the events accessible to as many people as possible," Fifa Secretary General Fatma Samoura said. "We therefore conducted thorough market research and have priced the tickets accordingly." Peter Wrighton's body was found on Saturday near Fiveways Junction, three miles south of East Harling in Norfolk. An inquest heard he had been stabbed repeatedly and died from "incised wounds to the neck". Detectives want to trace three men who were seen around the woodland near the time Mr Wrighton was attacked. Updates on this story and other Norfolk news CCTV images have been released of Mr Wrighton, of The Moor, Banham, using a post office in Kenninghall at 10:10 BST, just 35 minutes before his body was found in the woods. The drive between the post office and the woodland takes at least 10 minutes. He was found dead at 10:45 BST. No-one has yet been arrested, and the murder weapon has not yet been found. At a news conference on Thursday afternoon, Det Supt Andy Smith described the investigation as "large-scale, complex and detailed". He said officers were appealing specifically to three men who police are yet to trace as potential witnesses. The first is white, in his 50s, with pale skin and grey or white hair balding on top. He was believed to be wearing heavy-rimmed glasses and light-coloured trousers, and was seen in The Street changing into a white T-shirt. The second man is white with a tanned complexion, aged 25 to 30, 5ft 9in to 5ft 11in, with an athletic build, short, dark wavy hair and dark eyes. He was wearing a grey or blue T-shirt, grey floppy gym-style shorts above the knee and heavy duty flip-flops. He was seen within the boundary of the woodland site which police are searching. The third man is described as a white male, aged 30 to 50, of medium build, who wore dark-coloured clothing and was seen walking without a dog in the northern area of the heath. An inquest into the death of Mr Wrighton, of The Moor, Banham, opened in Norwich and adjourned for a review on 14 December. The hearing, at Norfolk Coroner's Court, was told Mr Wrighton was a retired BT engineer who was born in Tottenham, London. His body was formally identified by his wife Ann at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital on Tuesday. A post-mortem examination recorded the medical cause of death as "incised wounds to the neck". Mr Wrighton's family and his wife of 59 years described him as "a lovely, gentle husband, dad and grandfather". He had a "kind nature" and had a "love of walking his dogs and chatting with people to pass the time of day", his family said. Ravi Bopara made 46 but Anderson (3-56) and Stephen Parry (3-28) bowled out Essex for 159, a deficit of 160. After taking an early tea, Lancashire opted not to enforce the follow-on. England's Haseeb Hameed was out for 45 after an opening stand of 83 with Alex Davies (50 not out) before the visitors closed on 114-1 at Chelmsford. Lancashire have a 274-run lead with nine wickets remaining, as they go into day three closing in on a first Championship win in 12 games. Spinner Parry was making his first Championship appearance since August 2014 having become labelled as a white-ball specialist. And he broke the back of the Essex batting with two wickets in six balls either side of lunch, removing potential dangermen Dan Lawrence and Adam Wheater. Anderson and fellow pace bowler Kyle Jarvis had kept the visitors on top from the start of the day, making it difficult for Essex to score as they added just 58 runs off 30 overs in the morning session. When Steven Croft's side chose to bat again, Essex, who were without injured England captain Alastair Cook, did themselves no favours. They dropped Davies twice when he was on 10 and 26, both off ex-Lancashire seamer Neil Wagner. Essex head coach Chris Silverwood told BBC Radio Essex: "It is a bit of a wake-up call but you have to live experiences and go through them. "You can talk all you want but until you are out there facing Anderson and the rest of the bowlers, or have the ball in your hand and Hameed is out facing you, an England opening batsman, you've got to live it to learn. "The important thing for me is we take the lessons and learn quickly. "There are a lot of positives going on but we need to string them all together now." Lancashire's Stephen Parry told BBC Radio Manchester: "I might not be here tomorrow, I might swell up from an allergic reaction from playing in whites again. I've been waiting for a long time and I really enjoyed it. "The lads set the tone this morning. The way Jimmy and Jarv bowled up front created a lot of pressure and put them on the back foot. "Then there's probably more pressure on you because you're thinking, 'they've gone for one an over, I've got to start my spell now'. "I managed to get the nod ahead of Keggsy [Simon Kerrigan]. I'd imagine he'll be trying to get back in and that's really healthy because I've been trying to get in for years." President Fernandez, 57, was speaking less than a week after Mr Kirchner, 60, died of a heart attack. She thanked Argentines for their love and support, saying this was the most painful moment of her life. Mr Kirchner, president from 2003 to 2007, was believed to have been preparing to run in the 2011 election. Many of President Fernandez's supporters are now pushing her to run for re-election, correspondents say. Argentina's constitution limits presidents to two consecutive terms. President Fernandez, resuming her official duties on Monday, went on national television to speak to the country for the first time since Mr Kirchner died. "It's the greatest sadness I've had in my life. It's the loss of the man who was my companion of 35 years, the companion of my life, of struggles, of ideals... a part of me has gone with him." That part was now in Rio Gallegos, she said, referring to Mr Kirchner's home town where he was laid to rest on Saturday. She thanked all the Argentines who had sent support, who had prayed and who had cried, including those who turned out for his funeral. "I want to thank especially the thousands of young people there who sang in their grief, but then marched with joy, for him and for the country," President Fernandez said. "I want to tell them that, in their faces, I saw his [face] back when I met him," she said, her voice breaking. Mr Kirchner, who stood aside to allow his wife to stand for president in 2007, had been expected to run once again. The Kirchners were seen as Argentina's most influential "power couple" since Juan and Eva Peron. Michael Preston, 20, of Durban Road, Grimsby, was found guilty following a trial at Sheffield Crown Court. Preston stabbed Dean Southwick, 29, in Churchill Way, Grimsby, on 9 October. Mr Southwick later died in Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital. He also stabbed and seriously injured 18-year-old Charlie Day in the same attack. Preston had denied murder and attempted murder, but admitted manslaughter and wounding. He will serve a minimum of 26 years in prison. Det Supt Umberto Cuozzo said: "No one would have foreseen that a small gathering of friends could have ended in such tragic and horrific circumstances. "Preston maintained his innocence during the trial in order to try and convince that he did not act unlawfully. "The jury saw through this account and have found him guilty of the murder of Dean and the attempted murder of Charlie. I hope this verdict provides some comfort to his family knowing justice has been done." Otherwise, boss Chris Hughton has no new injury or suspension worries. Leeds midfielder Liam Bridcutt is set to return against his former club having missed the 1-1 draw with Fulham due to personal reasons. Striker Chris Wood (hamstring) remains sidelined, while centre-back Giuseppe Bellusci serves the second game of a two-match ban. The survey indicated almost 70% of people in England and Wales believe an independent Scotland should be allowed to share the pound. And more Scots think Trident nuclear missiles should stay in the country than think they should leave. The majority of Scots also wanted to keep the monarchy and the BBC. According to the survey, which was carried out last year, 38% of those questioned in England and Wales said if Scotland left the UK it should "definitely be allowed" to continue to use sterling, while 31% believe it should "probably be allowed" to do so. In Scotland, 79% believed the country should continue to use the pound in the event of a "Yes" vote in September's referendum, while 11% said it should have its own currency and 7% favoured the euro. The research also found 28% of people in Scotland said that, while they want to be able to use the pound if the country is independent, they "anticipated that in practice this would not be possible". In February, Chancellor George Osborne ruled out a currency union between an independent Scotland and the rest of the UK, a position backed by Labour shadow chancellor Ed Balls and the Lib Dem Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander. A currency union with the rest of the UK is the preferred option of the Scottish government, which has accused its Westminster counterparts of "bluff and bluster" over the issue. Elsewhere, the survey suggested 41% of people in Scotland believed Trident nuclear submarines should continue to be based at Faslane on the Clyde after independence, while 37% said they should not. In England and Wales, just over a quarter (26%) of people agreed that Britain's nuclear weapons should continue to be based in Scotland if it becomes an independent country, while 63% said they should either "definitely" or "probably" be moved elsewhere. The Scottish government has pledged to remove all nuclear weapons from Scotland after independence. The research was carried out by NatCen, which said "people in Scotland are not necessarily convinced that becoming independent should require the removal of British nuclear weapons". Its research also suggested 62% of people in Scotland think an independent Scotland should keep the same King or Queen as England, while 65% in England and Wales agree. And 86% of people in Scotland would like to be able to carry on watching the BBC after independence, while 82% of those in England and Wales think they definitely or probably should be allowed to do so. On the BBC: The vast majority of people in Scotland want to keep the BBC and the vast majority of people in England and Wales are happy for Scotland to keep the BBC in the event of independence. On the queen: They're not quite so equally agreed about the monarchy - around two thirds of people in Scotland want to keep the queen, and two thirds of people in England and Wales are happy for them to keep the queen. On sharing the pound: We were doing this research in the summer of 2013, before the currency intervention and the whole issue blew up. At that point, 70% of people in England and Wales suggested, if Scotland wants to share the pound, "that's fine by us". We know from subsequent opinion polls the position changed after George Osborne said he didn't think it was a terribly good idea, but that does suggest - rather than as was argued by those on the "No" side that there's no prospect of the public in England and Wales being willing to tolerate this idea - their opposition is in fact the consequence of politicians on the "No" side telling them it isn't a very good idea. On Trident: It is true that Scotland is a bit more opposed to nuclear weapons than England. That said, when we asked people in Scotland, "do you think that the United Kingdom should be required to remove its weapons in an independent Scotland," actually slightly more people said "No" than "Yes". The pressure in the event of a "Yes" vote so far as public opinion's concerned for getting those Trident weapons out of Scotland will in fact be much stronger south of the border, where the reaction seems to be, "if Scotland decides to be independent, then we better move them back into England and Wales", so, ironically, the SNP's position gets more support from public opinion in England and Wales than it does north of the border. On more devolved powers: Aroundhalf of people in England and Wales are willing to support the idea of more devolution, and only a quarter are really opposed - although when we come to some of the detail, public opinion on both sides of the border is more complicated. Scotland's pretty equivocal about the idea of the basic rate of income tax being different on the two sides of the border. England and Wales don't think it's a terribly good idea - so they're willing to back the principle, but when it comes to practice, it's much more difficult. On dual citizenship: On both sides of the border, there's a reluctance to accept the idea that British citizens living in Scotland could claim their Scottish citizenship, but also hang on to their British citizenship. Only half in Scotland think people should be able to have both a British and a Scottish passport, and, south of the border, only one in three do so. That's a position where both governments could meet greater public resistance than either side anticipated. But while about half of Scots (47%) think they should be able to claim both a British and a Scottish passport should Scotland become independent, only one in three people in England and Wales think they should be able to do so. If the referendum results in a "No" vote, 45% of people in England and Wales would support Scotland having more power and responsibility over taxation and welfare, with 27% opposed and 23% neither in favour nor against such a move. The report stated: "Public opinion in the rest of the UK would not necessarily be enthusiastic about more Scottish devolution, but would probably be willing to tolerate it," Prof John Curtice, of NatCen Social Research, said: "If Scotland does vote to leave the United Kingdom, Scotland and England will have to find ways of getting along with each other. "In some instances, such as the monarchy and the BBC, there appears to be a willingness on both sides of the border to share institutions. "Even on the issue on which the Scottish and UK governments have been most obviously at loggerheads - on the prospect of an independent Scotland sharing the pound - public opinion in England and Wales may not necessarily be as hostile to the idea as has sometimes been suggested. "However, those living in the rest of the UK might want Trident moved out of Scotland, irrespective of whether a future Scottish government is willing to keep the nuclear weapons facility on its shores or not." Responding the survey's findings on the currency of an independent Scotland, a Treasury spokesman said: "The position on currency union is clear. The Chancellor, Chief Secretary and shadow chancellor have all said there will not be one with a separate Scotland. "The only way to keep the pound is to stay together in the UK. "Public opinion has shifted, and shifted significantly. When it comes to a currency union, the people don't want it, business rejects it and parliament would never pass it." A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "We believe nuclear weapons have no place in Scotland, and have made clear our intention to negotiate for the removal of Trident within the first parliamentary term of an independent Scotland." She added: "As we have outlined, an independent Scotland will keep the pound, and a formal currency union will be in the overwhelming economic interests of the rest of the UK." Mark Anderson is alleged to have repeatedly struck 49-year-old Nigel Poustie on the head and body with an unknown implement on Monday. Prosecutors allege he then exposed Mr Poustie to burning liquid or steam on his head and body, causing him to die from his injuries. Mr Poustie was found seriously injured in Charleston Drive on Monday evening. He died the following day in Ninewells Hospital. Mr Anderson, from Dundee, is also accused of being concerned in the supply of diazepam on 1 July. He made no plea or declaration during a private hearing at Dundee Sheriff Court before Sheriff Alastair Brown and was remanded in custody ahead of a second appearance next week. The 43-year-old former Tranmere and Ipswich defender replaces Kevin Keen, who left last week after the club's relegation to League Two was confirmed. McGreal becomes the third recent boss to step up to the first team having previously worked in the youth set up, following Joe Dunne and Tony Humes. Colchester's under-21s finished fourth in their league this season. Keen left his position three days after Colchester's relegation to the fourth tier was confirmed by 23 April's 3-0 home defeat by Burton. The former West Ham coach only won five out of 24 games in charge, having replaced Humes on 21 December. "It's obviously a negative to get relegated, but I think it's a great time to come in and get Colchester United moving in the right direction again," said McGreal. He had a one-game spell in joint-caretaker charge of the U's with Richard Hall, but the duo were replaced by a single caretaker in Richard Hall after a 5-1 loss to Burton. McGreal, who has signed an undisclosed-length contract, will be assisted by Steve Ball. Speaking in Laos, Mr Obama said that every time Mr Trump spoke it became clearer that the Republican contender was not qualified to be president. In a televised forum on Wednesday, Mr Trump had praised Mr Putin's "great control" and 82% approval rating. Mr Trump and rival Hillary Clinton had taken questions from military veterans. Trump and Putin - the new bromantics? Trump defends military sex assault tweet Why Trump strikes a chord with Russians Are there any Trump links to Putin? Trump's shifting stance on Iraq invasion Mr Obama said: "I don't think the guy's qualified to be president of the United States and every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed." The president pointed to the diplomatic work he had faced at both the Asean summit in Laos and the earlier G20 meeting in China. He said: "I can tell you from the interactions I have had over the last eight or nine days with foreign leaders that this is serious business. "You actually have to know what you are talking about and you actually have to have done your homework. When you speak, it should actually reflect thought-out-policy you can implement." Mrs Clinton, meanwhile, pilloried Mr Trump for having suggested US military leaders had been "reduced to rubble", accusing him of having "trash-talked American generals". In a rare press conference, she said on Thursday morning: "That's how he talks about distinguished men and women who've spent their lives serving our country, sacrificing for us." Mr Trump had told the forum in New York that the Russian president had "been a leader far more than our president has been". Quizzed by NBC host Matt Lauer on his previous complimentary remarks about Mr Putin, Mr Trump responded: "He does have an 82% approval rating." "I think when he calls me 'brilliant', I'll take the compliment, OK?" said the businessman, adding that Mr Putin had "great control over his country". Mr Trump also said that, as a result of the confidential intelligence briefings he has been entitled to as an election candidate, he had been "shocked" at how the president, Mrs Clinton and current Secretary of State John Kerry had done "exactly the opposite" of what intelligence experts had told them. Gabriel Debenedetti writes on the Politico website that neither candidate did much to advance their cause, with Hillary Clinton spending "a third of the time fending off questions about her emails" while "Donald Trump struggled to explain his secret plan to defeat the Islamic State." Time agreed, citing "plenty of unilluminating blather spewed by both candidates". It said: "The most dispiriting thing was the grim view of the world the candidates gave Americans, with their relentless focus on fighting and terror... There was scant optimism." One focus was on the performance of NBC moderator Matt Lauer. The New York Times pronounced that the "consensus afterwards was not kind". "Mr Lauer found himself besieged... by critics of all political stripes, who accused the anchor of unfairness, sloppiness and even sexism in his handling of the event." Lauer's main miss, it seemed, was not to press Mr Trump when he said he had not supported the war in Iraq. Vox was among those pointing to a 2002 interview with radio host Howard Stern that contradicts this. Forum moderator Lauer suffers backlash In the forum, Mr Trump also said: "I was totally against the war in Iraq." This appeared to contradict a statement in a 2002 interview with radio host Howard Stern and the forum's moderator, Matt Lauer, came in for intense criticism after the event for not pressing Mr Trump on the statement. Mr Obama said in Laos: "The most important thing for the public and the press is to just listen to what he says and follow up and ask questions to what appear to be either contradictory or uninformed or outright wacky ideas". Mrs Clinton had found herself once again on the defensive during the forum over her private email server. The forum offered a preview of the questions they will face in their three forthcoming presidential debates, the first at Hofstra University near New York on 26 September. Eight-year-old Findlay Watters found the half-metre-long blade near an earth mound beside a Kirkwall campsite. It is not yet know how old the object could be. Findlay's mother Helen Sutherland has contacted Orkney Museum for help. One local historian said the item looked African in origin. Christopher Gee said it could possibly be a Ngbandi short sword which might be over 100 years old. The most famous, the Battle of Crogen, took place in 1165 near what is now called Castle Mill, Chirk, when Welsh forces defeated Henry II's men. A plaque was installed near another battle site at Pont Rhyd y Gad bridge at Tre Ceiriog on Saturday. It commemorates the wider Berwyn Mountain campaign. Re-enactment group Cwmwd Ial staged a living camp to mark the anniversary. It was in late July 1165 that Henry gathered a vast army at Oswestry, Shropshire, while the opposing forces of the Welsh princes waited near Corwen, Denbighshire. When his terms were turned down by the Welsh allies, Henry's army made their way up through the Ceiriog Valley. Despite being outnumbered, the Welsh forces were able to raid and ambush Henry's army, inflicting heavy losses. The Battle of Crogen, along with atrocious weather, meant that Henry's army was eventually forced to leave Wales altogether, retreating to Chester. 12 October 2016 Last updated at 18:36 BST BBC Africa looks at why more of the chicken Africans eat is not being produced on the continent. The 87-year-old Briton - one of the greatest drivers never to win the Formula 1 world title - is "in good spirits", a family statement said. He was admitted to hospital with a serious infection on 22 December. Four times a runner-up in the F1 drivers' championship, Moss was BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 1961. The family statement said he suffered complications from the infection, but his condition was continuing to improve and he was upset about missing a Christmas cruise with friends. His wife Lady Moss said the Singapore hospital was "second to none" and she could not wish for better care. "Once he is discharged from the hospital, it is Sir Stirling and Lady Moss' hope to stay in Singapore to enjoy a few days recuperating at a lovely hotel, being thoroughly spoilt, whilst lying in the sun by a gorgeous swimming pool," the statement added. Moss won 16 of the 66 F1 races he competed in from 1951 to 1961. He became the first British driver to win a home grand prix in 1955 at Aintree, but was regarded as a motor-racing all-rounder and racked up a total of 212 victories in all competitions. He was an outstanding rally driver and in 1955 set a new course record in winning the famous Mille Miglia, a 1,000-mile race around Italy. Moss was effectively forced to retire in 1962 following a crash at Goodwood which put him in a coma, although he continued to race in historic cars and legends events until the age of 81. Media playback is not supported on this device Harry Whitlam, from Wakefield, was injured at Swithens Farm, Rothwell, at about 09:20 BST on Friday morning, West Yorkshire Police said. He was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary where he underwent head surgery, but he died on Friday night. A 48-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of drinking and driving and causing death by dangerous driving. The man has been bailed pending further investigations, officers said. A statement on the Swithens Farm website said the incident had happened on "the working part of the farm" and described it as a "tragic accident". Jim Reid, father of the farm's co-owner Angela Broadhead, said everybody on the site was "very, very upset" at the boy's death. "We don't know the full circumstances yet, but everyone's thoughts are with Harry's parents and his family." Alec Shelbrooke, Conservative MP for Elmet and Rothwell, said the boy's death had hit local residents hard. "The community in Rothwell is very close and friendly so these tragic events will have sent a shockwave through the local community," he said. "My thoughts go straight away to the family of the boy who has tragically died." West Yorkshire Police said investigations into the "tragic incident" were continuing and appealed for anyone with information to get in touch. Swithens Farm, which includes a shop, open farm, cafe and play barn, remains open to visitors, the site's owners confirmed. The loans involve friends and relatives being asked to pay off the debt, if the original borrower fails to do so. But many such guarantors are unaware they are signing up for large debts, said Citizens Advice. The loans - which carry interest rates of up to 46% a year - are aimed at people with poor credit histories. It is thought that more than 50,000 people a year take out such loans, which can be repaid over periods as long as five years. The family members or friends who guarantee the loans can be legitimately pursued by debt collectors, even in cases where the borrower has died. "Guarantor loans carry with them huge risks, and our evidence shows people are getting involved without being fully aware of the dangers," said Gillian Guy, the chief executive of Citizens Advice. Of the cases investigated by the charity, 43% of guarantors were unsure of the extent of their responsibilities. A report written by the charity says that regulators do not regard them as proper customers, so those involved miss out on some of the protections given to people who fall into debt as a result of conventional loans. Since the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) imposed new rules on the payday loan sector, the number of people taking out such loans has fallen. Since January this year, payday lenders have been subject to an interest rate cap. However, some guarantor loans are not covered by the cap. As a result, Citizens Advice said guarantor loans now "have the potential to be just as damaging" as payday loans. It wants the FCA to make sure that: The FCA said it agreed that guarantors should be treated like customers. It said they deserved to be treated fairly and they should be given adequate information before signing up to such loans. Hull, 20, hit a bogey-free, seven-under-par 65 to finish on eight under but China's Feng shot a stunning 64 to claim the title by two strokes. Overnight leader Felicity Johnson faded with a three-over-par 75 to finish six shots adrift in a tie for seventh. The tournament was reduced to three rounds following the death of caddie Maximilian Zechmann on Wednesday. Feng started the day five shots behind England's Johnson but quickly overhauled the leader with five birdies on the front nine, including four in a row from the second hole. Hull, who won her first LPGA title last month, made a similarly fast start in windy conditions at Emirates Golf Club with four birdies in the first six holes, before adding three more on the back nine. But it was not enough to catch Feng, who also hit three birdies after the turn to finish on 10 under and secure a fourth title in five years. "I kind of woke up and got into my golf game," said world number 18 Hull. "I've been a bit lazy all week on the golf course, but I got in there and concentrated." England's Florentyna Parker and Georgia Hall finished in ties for third and fifth respectively, while Scotland's Kylie Walker was tied 10th on three under. American Beth Allen, who won the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in November, claimed the Order of Merit title on the Ladies European Tour. In separate statements, Orange said that the talks were "preliminary" while Bouygues said that "no decisions have been taken". If the deal did go ahead it would reduce the number of French telecoms operators to three from four. The combined group would have a near-50% share of the French mobile and fixed telecoms market. As a result, any deal is likely to be scrutinised by both domestic and European competition authorities. French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron opposed a previous bid by European telecoms group Altice to buy Bouygues, saying in June it risked creating a French operator that was "too big to fail". But he has since said that he is not opposed in principle to further deals in the sector. French newspaper reports have suggested that the deal could be worth €10bn (£7.3bn) in a combination of cash and shares. In its statement, Bouygues said there was "no guarantee that there will be an outcome to these preliminary discussions". Bouygues said it had signed a confidentiality agreement with Orange as "it is interested in opportunities that would enable it to bolster its long-term presence in the telecoms sector". Orange said that the talks were not "limited by any particular calendar" and said there was "no commitment to any particular outcome".

However, their run ended with a 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-3) loss to Marach and Pavic. In the men's singles tournament last year, Willis battled through the qualifying tournament before losing to Roger Federer in round two. The craft was expected to dock with the station six hours after its launch from Kazakhstan early on Wednesday morning. However, a 24-second engine thruster burn required to change its orbit path failed to work as planned. The crew are not said to be in any danger. The joint mission comes amid high tension between the US and Russia. The two governments have been exchanging terse rhetoric after Russia's annexation of Crimea this month. However, co-operation on the space programme has continued, a legacy of the thaw in relations that accompanied the end of the Cold War. At a press conference before the flight, the astronauts said they would treat dinners aboard the space station "as an opportunity to come together as friends in the kitchen and look each other in the eye". The Soyuz booster rocket, carrying Russians Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev and American Steve Swanson, blasted off from Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. However, shortly before the craft was due to dock with the space station, officials reported that an engine that was meant to guide the manoeuvre had not operated "as planned". Oleg Ostapenko, the head of the Roscosmos Russian space agency, said that the problem had been caused by a failure of the ship's orientation system. "The crew have taken off their spacesuits and are continuing their flight normally," he said. The astronauts are now aiming to dock with the space station at the next best opportunity - likely to be 23:58 GMT on Thursday. The crew have reverted to a two-day approach, used by Russian flights to the space station until 2012. This involves orbiting Earth 34 times. The shorter, six-hour approach - orbiting Earth only four times - was introduced last year. The US relies on Russia to fly its astronauts to the space station since it retired its space shuttle fleet in 2011. The space station - an orbiting laboratory high above Earth - is operated by 15 nations. It currently has a crew of three. The arrival of the three astronauts aboard the Soyuz rocket will bring staff levels back to normal. He hopes to be the first Scot to trek solo and unsupported to the pole. He would also be the youngest person from Britain - at age 30 - to do so. Luke was inspired to undertake his adventure after undergoing brain surgery to remove a suspected tumour. He said he is preparing to celebrate with a "Christmas breakfast for one". Luke told BBC One's Breakfast programme: "It's about minus 35 degrees outside. "Even though it's meant to be summer here, it's certainly like Christmas, that's for sure. "I've just opened a few cards from friends and family, with some interesting gifts. I've got the stove on, ready to cook Christmas breakfast for one before venturing outside and getting my skis on." During the venture, Luke has been raising money for Marie Curie. Last year, when I was twenty eight, I had an operation to remove a suspected brain tumour - which turned out to be a cyst," he said. "And when I was twenty three I had an artificial pace-maker inserted for complete heart block. So really this expedition is about hoping to inspire others to emerge stronger, and take the positives out of any challenging times. "And I think this can apply to anyone and everyone. You know, we all go through rough patches in life. And I don't think you have to have my bizarre medical history behind you for this to be applicable." Luke has completed 20 days alone. The experience of being alone, he insisted, has been largely positive. He said: "I can see white, and I can see blue. I can see a blue sky, so Santa's been nice to me. "He's given me a blue sky for my Christmas skiing day... It's magnificent. I couldn't have hoped for a nicer Christmas really, to be honest." While many people worry about putting on weight over the festive holidays, Luke is burning off about 10,000 calories each day. He added: "I'm managing to lose quite a lot of the seventeen or eighteen kilograms I put on for this trip already.

Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit told a ceremony on Bernauer Street: "The Wall is history but we must not forget it." President Christian Wulff said Germany had been securely established as a reunified country. The city observed a minute's silence at noon (10:00 GMT) in memory of those who died trying to escape. Wall sickness: Berlin's unique illness Soldiers from the East began construction on the morning of 13 August 1961. The BBC's Stephen Evans in Berlin says the East German authorities portrayed the Wall as a barrier to keep the fascist West out - what came to be known as the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart. But he says the accepted view now is that it was to keep East German potential migrants in. Addressing the ceremony on Bernauer Street, famously divided by the Wall and now site of a memorial, Mayor Wowereit said the capital was remembering the "saddest day in its recent history". "It is our common responsibility to keep alive the memories and pass them on to the next generation, to maintain freedom and democracy and to do everything so that such injustices may never happen again," he said. At a ceremony at a former crossing-point, President Wulff said the wall had been "an expression of fear" of those who created it. "The world situation, of which this wall was a symbol, seemed irreversible to many people," he said. "But this was not the case. In the end, freedom is unconquerable. No wall can survive the will for freedom in the long term. The violence of just a few has no hold over the drive for freedom of many." Chancellor Angela Merkel, who also attended the event, was herself raised in the East. The number of people who died trying to cross the Wall is disputed - at least 136 are known to have been killed but victims' groups say the true number is more than 700. The Berlin Wall The first victim was thought to be Guenter Litfin on 24 August 1961 and the last Chris Gueffroy on 6 February 1989. A list of names of the victims was read out overnight. Although the Wall came down in 1989, it remains for some a symbol of continuing economic division between the richer west and poorer east. Brigitta Heinrich, a schoolteacher by profession, grew up in Klein-Glienicke, which was unusual in that it was an East German enclave on the territory of West Berlin. Speaking to Russian news agency Ria-Novosti, she said one of her own pupils had escaped across the Wall in the early days, using a ladder. The schoolboy's parents were forced to move out of Klein-Glienicke as a result, and the mother was sacked from her job in a company, she said. Recalling the hardships and broken illusions of the communist state, Ms Heinrich, who still lives in the East, also talked of the difficulty of readjusting to a unified country. She said she had made friends with other Europeans such as Italians and Finns since the fall of the Wall but some West Germans, especially in regions further away from Berlin, seemed indifferent to people from the former East, as if an invisible barrier remained. "I cannot name a single West German with whom I socialise now - really, I can't," she said. Few parts of the Wall remain, though city authorities have laid down an 8km (five-mile)row of cobblestones to mark its path. Tourists often struggle to find original sections.

Germany is marking 50 years since the building of the Berlin Wall when the communist East closed its border, dividing the city for 28 years.

Stephen Carson, 28, was shot in front of his family in a house at Walmer Street in the Ormeau Road area at about 22:45 GMT on Thursday. Police said he was having a meal with his partner and nine-year-old son when "at least three men carrying a hammer and a shotgun burst into the house". After a confrontation, Mr Carson ran into a downstairs bathroom. He was shot through the door of the bathroom. Following the attack, Mr Carson was taken to hospital, where he died from a fatal head wound. The officer leading the investigation, Det Supt Kevin Geddes, said the murder was "brutal and cold-blooded". "Our main line of enquiry, but not our only line of enquiry, is that Stephen was shot as part of a criminal feud," he said. "We do not believe at this stage there was any paramilitary involvement nor do we believe this was sectarian." He said Mr Carson was known to police but had been trying to get his life together. Detectives are also investigating a possible link to the murder of pizza delivery driver Kieran McManus in west Belfast almost three years ago. In April 2013, Mr McManus was shot a number of times at close range in a car park outside the pizza shop where he worked on Kennedy Way. Police have appealed for information about the shooting. Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness condemned those responsible for the murder and said it was "terrible news".

A man who was shot in the head through a bathroom door was murdered as part of a "criminal feud", police have said.

Andrew Bailey, the chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), said a cap would be considered as part of its inquiry into high-cost credit. Up to 400,000 people use rent-to-own firms to buy household appliances, paying the money back over three years. After interest, they can end up paying three times the original price. It follows a call for a cap from Citizens Advice, which said restrictions imposed on payday lenders two years ago had been a success. Citizens Advice also said there was a lack of affordability checks in the industry, meaning that people signed up to agreements they could not afford. And it said that rent-to-own firms did not always take a flexible approach when shoppers got into debt. However, BrightHouse, the biggest rent-to-own firm, accused Citizens Advice of producing a "misleading" and "inaccurate" report. The FCA said that it would be prepared to consider a cap in the rent-to-own market, but added that in the case of the payday loan sector it had been a "last resort". "The price cap is very much the thing we do when all other price measures don't look very promising," Andrew Bailey, chief executive of the FCA, told the BBC. "So we would start elsewhere, and work our way through the possible remedies." Total paid (including credit): £1,170 Source: BrightHouse Since January 2015, the FCA has imposed a cap on the amount that payday lenders are allowed to charge their customers. Loan repayments are limited to no more than 0.8% per day of the amount they borrowed, and in total no one should pay back more than twice the original sum. Since the introduction of that cap, Citizens Advice says that the number of people with payday loan debt problems has halved. So it wants similar controls on the rent-to-own market. "There ought to be some kind of cap on the cost to the individual of the item they are buying, so they know right up front how much they are going to pay," said Gillian Guy, the chief executive of Citizens Advice. In the 18 months since the cap was introduced, about 800,000 fewer people took out payday loans, according to the FCA. Citizens Advice also wants to see new rules that would require rent-to-own firms to do more thorough affordability checks. Dawn North, from Port Talbot in South Wales, is a regular customer of such firms, and has fallen behind with payments. "They didn't really do a credit check," she said. "All they wanted was your income and what your expenditure was." She showed the BBC a washing machine, which she said cost £300 in the shops. However, because she has fallen behind with payments, she calculates she will end up paying as much as £3,000 in total. But BrightHouse, the biggest of three rent-to-own firms in the UK, rejected the claims made by Citizens Advice. "We dispute the findings of this misleading, deeply flawed and inaccurate report," a spokesperson for BrightHouse said. "Having worked closely with the FCA, BrightHouse's affordability checks are some of the most thorough in the financial services industry." "Should BrightHouse customers be in difficulty, we have a wide range of options including the flexibility for them to return the product at any time without owing anything further." It said all agreements were subject to a 14-day cooling-off period. The FCA is now asking for evidence for its inquiry into all forms of "high cost" credit, including overdraft charges and logbook loans. It will also review the payday loan cap, two years after it came into force. Mr Bailey told the BBC that catalogue lending and pawnbroking would also be considered. It is important that people can still have access to credit, but the FCA wants them to have it "on terms that are fair to them", he said. It said it spotted "suspicious transactions" on 40,000 accounts over the weekend, with money reportedly taken from about half of them. Tesco has declined to elaborate on what happened, or say how much cash went astray, but said it was working with the National Crime Agency to investigate and find the culprits. Yes, because this seems to be the first time that a UK bank has reacted so publicly by stopping some types of transactions on a web banking system because of "online criminal activity". Banks are targeted all the time but typically those attacks just hit a few individuals, so do not bring about a site closure. In this case, as far as we can tell, a lot of people lost cash very quickly. Security expert Troy Hunt said the incident was unprecedented in its scale. He added that the shutdown was "embarrassing" for Tesco and indicated how serious it was. Tesco did not use the "H" word in its statement and in interviews its chief executive and other people speaking on behalf of the company have been careful in their choice of language. It has said that the attack was "sophisticated" and that an initial investigation had revealed exactly what had happened. So far, it has not shared that information but Tesco's actions in the wake of the weekend's events do help to narrow down the possibilities. By letting customers withdraw cash from ATMs, use cards in shops and pay bills, it suggests that whatever went wrong does not involve the core computer systems underpinning Tesco bank. These systems used to be run by RBS but since 2008 Tesco has operated independently. Security expert James Maude, from software company Avecto, said Tesco's decision to suspend online transactions combined with the information that so many people were hit at once clearly suggests problems with its website. All too often, he said, maintenance or website updates can introduce errors and bugs that were not present before. Cyber-thieves are constantly scanning valuable websites to spot changes and will swoop if one emerges. It might also be the case that a third party connected to Tesco had a security issue and attackers got in via that route, which has happened in some of the biggest attacks in recent memory. Most cybersecurity experts have a very jaundiced view of the world that they often sum up by saying: "Everything is broken and there is always a way in." In short, there is no way that any organisation can keep it, and its customers and their data, safe all the time. Many organisations now assume they will be breached and set up monitoring systems to spot when that happens, while also training staff to react quickly to fix problems. Nik Whitfield, from security firm Panaseer, said often firms were caught out by vulnerabilities that emerge in software they use rather than through a change they make. It can be hard for organisations to keep across these factors because they use so many software packages. In addition, some of the bugs are found by malicious hackers who sell them to gangs that want to use them. In these cases, the first an organisation will know about a bug is when it is used against them. Tesco has had problems with some other web-based systems in the past. In 2014, thousands of Tesco customers' net accounts were deactivated after login names and passwords were shared online. In that case, Tesco said attackers had compiled the data by using details stolen from other sites, because some Tesco customers reused passwords. Like many other banks, Tesco has automatic fraud-spotting systems that keep an eye on accounts and build up a picture of normal activity. It is these kind of systems that can catch you out if you suddenly use your credit or debit card to buy lots of things from lots of different places in just a few minutes. It is these monitoring systems that are believed to have alerted Tesco to the problems that led to it suspending the site and halting transactions. We still do not know the details of what happened so it is difficult to give concrete advice. However, it is worth taking a few simple steps to protect your online account. First, choose a good password and do not reuse one that you use elsewhere. Use the bank's two-factor authentication and keep an eye on the transactions carried out via your account. Keep security software on your PC, phone or tablet up-to-date and be on the lookout for phishing emails that capitalise on news about any breach. James Chappell, chief technology officer at computer security service Digital Shadows, said it was already starting to see cyber-gangs it monitors sending out spam posing as updates from Tesco security staff. The gangs are hoping to trick people into handing over their Tesco account details to let thieves take advantage. The previous state governor, Zenaida Gallardo, stepped down citing medical reasons. She had only been in the post since January when she took over from another of Hugo Chávez's brothers, Adán. Both Argenis Chávez and Ms Gallardo rose to the post through a rule which says that in case the governor steps down, the interior minister takes over. Mr Chávez had been named interior minister of Barinas only days before being sworn in as governor. He is taking over as governor at a time when Barinas has been rocked by violent anti-government protests. Official buildings have been attacked and shops looted by Venezuelans angry at the country's spiralling inflation and shortages of food and medicine. In a speech at his swearing-in ceremony, Mr Chávez blamed the country's problems on an "economic war" being waged against the government. "The US empire is trying to overthrow the Bolivarian Revolution and the government through a coup d'etat," he said. Mr Chávez is expected to be in power at least until December, when long-delayed gubernatorial elections are due to be held. However, opposition activists say they fear the elections, originally due to be held in December 2016, could be postponed again. John Paul Jones, 27, admitted dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, driving while disqualified and without insurance, and failing to provide a blood sample. Cardiff Crown Court heard he reached speeds of 78mph. It came to an end when the car got wedged under a railway bridge. The court was told police attempted to stop Jones' car near to Brynhyfryd to carry out checks on 15 June. He initially stopped, but when officers approached he made off. The seven-mile (11km) pursuit came to and end in what Gwent Police described as a "moment of sheer recklessness and stupidity" when Jones drove down a footpath and got wedged under a railway bridge towards Churchhill Park. PC Matt Richley said: "He proceeded to drive in such a manner that he not only put members of the public at risk but also himself, his passengers and the police." As well as the jail sentence, Jones of Pontypridd, was disqualified from driving for four years and nine months. The legal challenge was brought by World War Two veteran Harry Shindler, 94, who lives in Italy, and lawyer and Belgian resident Jacquelyn MacLennan. Under law, UK citizens who have lived elsewhere in Europe for more than 15 years are barred from voting. But the pair argued the in-out vote on EU membership directly affected them and called for a judicial review. They asked the two judges to declare that section Two of the EU Referendum Act 2015, which established "the 15-year rule", unlawfully restricted their right to freedom of movement under EU law. But the judges ruled that the section did not restrict their rights and rejected their application for judicial review. Lawyers representing the pair say they will seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court against the judgment. Earlier this month, the court heard up to two million expats were being denied the right to take part in the referendum. Mr Shindler - who has lived in Italy since 1982 - and other campaigners argue the 15-year cut-off is arbitrary and that rules governing UK general elections, the basis for the referendum franchise, are not being applied evenly. His lawyers say the EU Referendum Act authorising the vote extends the right to vote to peers, and Gibraltar residents who would not normally be able to take part in general elections, but not long-term expats. The government says the franchise was agreed by both Houses of Parliament. It picked up the honour at the British Guild of Travel Writers' awards ceremony. The multi-million pound project linking the capital and the Scottish Borders was officially opened by the Queen last year. It saw off an artificial surfing lake in north Wales and a cycling route in Devon to win the award. "It is an amazing railway and unique to the area," said Ailsa Herd of VisitScotland on accepting the prize. "You can visit so many different attractions over the journey so I would recommend you go now, especially since we won this amazing award. "I think the team will be over the moon, there were so many different contenders in the category we are delighted to have won." A 48-year-old man and two women, aged 29 and 63, were arrested after police stopped two vehicles in Ferguson Drive on Tuesday afternoon. Det Insp Pete Mullan said: "All three individuals remain in custody this evening assisting us with our enquiries." Doctors at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital said it was time to rethink the need for six centres after a 46% fall in transplants in the last decade. They said having bigger and better resourced units may be preferable, the British Medical Journal reported. The government has already indicated it is looking to carry out a review. It is unclear why the number of heart transplants has fallen as the number of potential donors is at a record high. A decade ago, 159 transplants were carried out each year, but by 2009-10 that had fallen to 86, the researchers said. The analysis by four doctors, including two surgeons, suggested it could be down to a lack of intensive care beds or it could be because potential donors are found to have hearts which are unsuitable for transplant. The fall in transplants has meant doctors are having to increasingly rely on the use of mechanical heart pumps instead. But the experts said it was now important to review whether the right patients were being prioritised for transplants as well as looking whether the six units - in Birmingham, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Cambridge and London - were still viable. One of the risks of having smaller centres is that surgeons do not do enough transplants to maintain their skills - although there are no suggestions care is suffering yet. Professor Peter Weissberg, medical director at the British Heart Foundation, conceded fewer centres may be the solution. But he added he would like to see more work to increase the number of suitable donors. "Encouraging more people to join the organ donor register, or even better, changing our organ donation system so people must 'opt out' if they don't want to donate would help increase the number of donor hearts available." NHS medical director Sir Bruce Keogh said an official review would be starting soon to ensure transplants were being "carried out in the most effective way". He added: "The department is committed to strengthening the heart transplant programme, increasing the number of organ donors and hearts donated for transplant and giving more people the opportunity to benefit from a heart transplant." It comes amid a storm in Silicon Valley over the number of women employed in the tech industry. Experts agree that the world faces a digital skills shortage and that a more even gender balance is crucial. One industry body worried that too few boys were also choosing the subject. "Today's announcement that nearly 7,600 students in England took A-level computing means it's not going to be party time in the IT world for a long time to come," said Bill Mitchell, director of education at the IT Chartered Institute, BCS. He said that it fell well short of the 40,000 level that "we should be seeing". But he added that the fact so few girls were taking the subject was particularly worrying. "At less than 10%, the numbers of girls taking computing A-level are seriously low." "We know that this a problem starting at primary school and it's something that we need to address at all levels throughout education. "As a society, we need to make sure that our young women are leaving education with the digital skills they need to secure a worthwhile job, an apprenticeship or go on to further study." The figures, from the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ), are not all bad news. They reveal that there has been a 34% rise in the number of female students sitting the computer science exam, up to 816 from 609 in 2016. Google engineer James Damore caused controversy this month when he penned a memo suggesting that there were fewer women at Google because of biological differences. The search giant sacked him over the remarks, saying they were "offensive". A recent survey of 1,000 university students conducted by audit firm KPMG suggested that only 37% of young women were confident they had the tech skills needed by today's employers. A total of 73% said that they had not considered a graduate job in technology. Aidan Brennan, KPMG's head of digital transformation, said: "The issue here isn't around competency - far from it - but rather how businesses understand the underlying capability of an individual and how to unlock it. "I think this research highlights the work that needs to be done to show the next generation that when it comes to a career in tech, gender isn't part of the equation. "Competition for jobs is tough and we know that female job seekers can be less likely to apply for a role than their male counterparts if they don't feel they already possess every prerequisite the job demands." Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE, who founded the charity Stemettes to persuade more girls to pursue careers in Science, Technology Engineering and Maths has her own view about the low number of girls taking A-level computing. "Girls often don't want to be the only one in the class so they tend not to pick the subject when it is an option," she said. "Also, it's often not even an option in a lot of schools so it's an uphill battle but fortunately, a lot of computer science courses take A-level maths students, so there is a very viable route for girls into the course itself and related courses." All three players have agreed deals that run until the summer of 2019. Wing Nowell, 23, has played a part in all but one game under England head coach Eddie Jones. Centre Slade, 23, has yet to feature under Jones, but both he and hooker Cowan-Dickie, 23, were in the squad which whitewashed Australia in June. "It's great that they've come through our academy," Exeter head coach Rob Baxter told BBC Sport. "They're international-quality players who want to stay at the club long term, and that in itself talks about what we're all about. "We want to be a club where they can realise their international and club ambitions." Nowell scored a try in Exeter's first-ever Premiership final appearance in May, which they lost to Saracens, with Slade having a hand in the score. The highly-rated centre, who can also play at fly-half, missed six months of last season after breaking his leg in the Devon side's win at Wasps. Cowan-Dickie is currently vying with Saracens number two Jamie George to be England's second-choice hooker behind captain Dylan Hartley. "It wasn't a difficult process, they were all keen to stay and we were keen to keep them," added Baxter. "It was business that was all wrapped up pretty quickly." Some people prefer their fruits and vegetables to be perfectly shaped but a trial by one supermarket found that lots of customers are now happy to buy lumpy, bumpy and curved vegetables. They decided to sell wonky veg to prevent tonnes of imperfect fruit and vegetables being thrown away. So we want to know what you think. Thanks for all your comments - the chat page is now closed. Yes, I would eat it because veg is veg even if it looks wonky and funny looking. Jack, 9 I would love to eat wonky veg because they look funny and they're much better than the ones we have at school. Also it stops them going to waste and the farmers get paid for what they have grown. Hermione, 7, Cambridgeshire Yes, I would definitely eat wonky shaped veg as it would be more fun to eat! Iona, 11, Edinburgh I hate the idea of wonky and curved vegetables because how would people cut them up for their tea or dinner? Fiona, 10, Merseyside I would eat wonky veg because they are no different to any other veg except they are wonky. Catriona, 8, Scotland Yes I would as there would be less waste in the world and they look very funny. Keira, 10, Dorset I would, as they would taste the same (I think). Harry, 12, Oxfordshire Yes I would because it looks interesting and my Mummy told me all the wonky veg gets thrown away. Sophie, 5, London Yes because it's just normal veg that's grown in a funny shape but still tastes the same. Billy, 7, Nottinghamshire Yes I would eat wonky veg. It's just like ordinary veg and tastes the same. Charlie, 5, Chesterfield Definitely! They look really funny! I would love eating those! Ellie, 8, Northamptonshire Our arrest was dramatic. We were on a quiet stretch of road in the capital, Doha, on our way to film a group of workers from Nepal. The working and housing conditions of migrant workers constructing new buildings in Qatar ahead of the World Cup have been heavily criticised and we wanted to see them for ourselves. Suddenly, eight white cars surrounded our vehicle and directed us on to a side road at speed. A dozen security officers frisked us in the street, shouting at us when we tried to talk. They took away our equipment and hard drives and drove us to their headquarters. Later, in the city's main police station, the cameraman, translator, driver and I were interrogated separately by intelligence officers. The questioning was hostile. We were never accused of anything directly, instead they asked over and over what we had done and who we had met. During a pause in proceedings, one officer whispered that I couldn't make a phone call to let people know where we were. He explained that our detention was being dealt with as a matter of national security. An hour into my grilling, one of the interrogators brought out a paper folder of photographs which proved they had been trailing me in cars and on foot for two days since the moment I'd arrived. I was shown pictures of myself and the team standing in the street, at a coffee shop, on board a bus and even lying next to a swimming pool with friends. It was a shock. I had never suspected I was being tailed. At 01:00, we were taken to the local prison. It was meant to be the first day of our PR tour but instead we were later handcuffed and taken to be questioned for a second time, at the department of public prosecutions. Thirteen hours of waiting around and questioning later, one of the interrogators snapped. "This is not Disneyland," he barked. "You can't stick your camera anywhere." It was as if he felt we were treating his country like something to be gawped at, suggesting we thought of trips to see controversial housing and working conditions as a form of entertainment. "The Government Communications Office invited a dozen reporters to see - first-hand - some sub-standard labour accommodation as well as some of the newer labour villages. We gave the reporters free rein to interview whomever they chose and to roam unaccompanied in the labour villages. "Perhaps anticipating that the government would not provide this sort of access, the BBC crew decided to do their own site visits and interviews in the days leading up to the planned tour. In doing so, they trespassed on private property, which is against the law in Qatar just as it is in most countries. Security forces were called and the BBC crew was detained." "We are pleased that the BBC team has been released but we deplore the fact that they were detained in the first place. Their presence in Qatar was no secret and they were engaged in a perfectly proper piece of journalism. "The Qatari authorities have made a series of conflicting allegations to justify the detention, all of which the team rejects. We are pressing the Qatari authorities for a full explanation and for the return of the confiscated equipment." In perfect English and with more than a touch of malice, he threatened us with another four days in prison - to teach us a lesson. I began my second night in prison on a disgusting soiled mattress. At least we did not go hungry, as we had the previous day. One of the guards took pity on us and sent out for roast chicken with rice. In the early hours of the next morning, just as suddenly as we were arrested, we were released. Bizarrely, we were allowed to join the organised press trip for which we had come. It was as if nothing had happened, despite the fact that our kit was still impounded, and we were banned from leaving the country. I can only report on what has happened now that our travel ban has been lifted. No charges were brought, but our belongings have still not been returned. So why does Qatar welcome members of the international media while at the same time imprisoning them? Is it a case of the left arm not knowing what the right arm is doing, or is it an internal struggle for control between modernisers and conservatives? Whatever the explanation, Qatar's Jekyll-and-Hyde approach to journalism has been exposed by the spotlight that has been thrown on it after winning the World Cup bid. Other journalists and activists, including a German TV crew, have also recently been detained. How the country handles the media, as it prepares to host one of the world's most watched sporting events, is now also becoming a concern. Mustafa Qadri, Amnesty International's Gulf migrant rights researcher, told us the detentions of journalists and activists could be attempts "to intimidate those who seek to expose labour abuse in Qatar". Qatar, the world's richest country for its population size of little more than two million people, is pouring money into trying to improve its reputation for allowing poor living standards for low-skilled workers to persist. Inside Qatar's squalid labour camps A highly respected London-based PR firm, Portland Communications, now courts international journalists. On the day we left prison, it showed us spacious and comfortable villas for construction workers, with swimming pools, gyms and welfare officers. This was part of the showcase tour of workers' accommodation, and it was organised by the prime minister's office. Qatar's World Cup organising committee, which answers to Fifa, was helping to run the tour. Fifa says it is now investigating what happened to us. It has issued the following statement: "Any instance relating to an apparent restriction of press freedom is of concern to Fifa and will be looked into with the seriousness it deserves." Following our detention, the minister of labour agreed to talk to us on camera about how the media can cover what human rights campaigners have identified as "forced labour" within his country. "Qatar is an open country forever, since ever," Abdullah al-Khulaifi said. "The shortcomings that I am facing, the problems I am facing, I cannot hide. Qatar is open and now with the smartphones, everyone is a journalist," he said. He said the negative coverage of migrant workers' conditions was wildly overblown and that much progress had been made to improve basic conditions for migrant workers. The government has implemented a wage protection scheme. It says at least 450 companies have been banned from working in the country and more than $6m (£3.8m) of fines have been handed out to firms mistreating workers, and the number of inspectors has been doubled. Workers are now ferried to and from work in buses, not lorries. But change has not come easily in what one security guard privately described to me as a country with surveillance officers everywhere. Without trade unions or a free media, bosses of large domestic and international companies have little incentive to radically improve conditions for well over a million labourers desperate for money. Before we were detained, I met an 18-year-old mechanic, one of the 400,000 Nepalese workers there. He said he wanted to support his older brothers because his father had died and the family was struggling financially. He paid a recruitment agency in Nepal $600 to arrange his visa to work in Qatar and was told he would earn $300 a month. When he arrived he was told his salary, as a labour camp cleaner for air conditioning mechanics, was in fact $165 a month. He said he has never been given a copy of the contract he signed. Worse still, he said he could not understand it as it was in English. It's a very common trick that foreign recruitment agents play before workers even get to Qatar, and very difficult for Qatar itself to police, although it says it is trying. This young man now finds himself at the mercy of Qatar's restrictive kafala system, which prevents workers from changing jobs for five years. Being tied to an employer in that way can leave migrant workers open to exploitation. However, with so much money needed for rebuilding decimated parts of Nepal, there will be no shortage of future volunteers. And as Qatar's World Cup approaches, the focus on migrant labour is only likely to increase. UPDATE, 25 May: After three weeks of asking the authorities to return our equipment, alongside pressure from Fifa, diplomats and politicians, it is now back in our hands. Intelligence officers have wiped the video footage from our memory cards and the translator's phone is broken. The three nations were given full-time seats on the International Cricket Council's (ICC) decision-making executive committee in January 2014. However, that decision was reversed at a meeting in Dubai on Thursday. ICC chairman and India board president Shashank Manohar said: "No member of the ICC is bigger than the other." Manohar, who replaced Narayanaswami Srinivasan at both the Board of Control for Cricket in India and the ICC, was among critics who said the 'Big Three' would take over the sport at the expense of other nations. He has promised "a complete review" of the constitution and will be in charge of a five-member steering group which will look to put together recommendations to proposed changes at the ICC's annual conference in June this year. "I am determined to make a meaningful contribution in this regard with support of all the members," Manohar said before adding the ICC chairman would not be allowed to hold a position in a member country board in future. Meanwhile, the ICC has also reinstated Sri Lanka as a full member after the country held elections last month to appoint a new organisation to run the sport. Sri Lanka had previously been sanctioned for government interference. The Electoral Commission's observations came as it published a report about last year's poll. It said the pro-Union Better Together campaign spent £1,422,602 and the pro-independence Yes Scotland campaign spent £1,420,800. People in Scotland voted 55% to 45% against independence. The commission found that the regulatory framework at the referendum "worked well overall" and that the move to give clear guidance at an early stage ensured a "high level of compliance with the rules". John McCormick, head of the Electoral Commissioner for Scotland, said: "This report serves to highlight that the Scottish independence referendum remains a good example of a well-run referendum. "The lessons learnt in Scotland should provide an excellent template for how future referendums should be legislated for, administered and regulated." The new majority Conservative government plans to hold a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU before the end of 2017. The independent Electoral Commission regulates party and election finance and is responsible for the conduct and regulations of referendums. During the Scottish independence referendum, the commission imposed just one sanction of £500 on the Communication Workers Union which had exceeded the registration threshold of £10,000 before registering as an official campaigner. The case, involving bribery, property fraud and money laundering, resulted in convictions for senior officials. These included former city planning chief Juan Antonio Roca, who was jailed for 11 years and fined 240m euros (£202m, $300m) for pocketing huge sums. Two of the coastal city's former mayors were also handed jail terms over the scams, which came to light in 2006. Marisol Yague and Julian Munoz received sentences of six and two years, respectively. A total of 85 men and women were accused in what is thought to be the biggest-ever case of local political corruption in Spanish history. Roca, who managed the city's planning department in the 1990s, became one of Spain's richest men before he was accused of masterminding the corruption. He was initially given the job at the peak of Marbella's construction boom by the city's notorious, late mayor, Jesus Gil, who died in 2004. The verdict read out in court in the province of Malaga detailed a corruption ring involving building permits being handed out to a succession of officials in return for envelopes stuffed with cash. Roca himself became extremely rich, with a portfolio of ranches, expensive cars and boats. The sentences for Roca and the two disgraced mayors were significantly less than those demanded by prosecutors. They had sought a 30-year term for Roca, who was detained in 2006, but the court took into account his admission of the scale of corruption. Marbella's local government was forced to replace large numbers of personnel after the case was exposed. Police said the 51-year-old had been employed as a security consultant, but gave no further details. But New Zealand coach Steve Hansen said the man had worked for the All Blacks for a long time and was "trusted and well-respected". "Frankly, the charge seems bizarre and unbelievable," he said. "However, as with all cases before the courts, there has to be a due process that takes place and it is not right or proper for us to make any further comment as this could jeopardise the outcome of the case," he added. The man has been charged with public mischief and will appear in court on 21 March, the statement from New South Wales police said. The discovery of what was described as a sophisticated listening device in the All Blacks' team meeting room in a Sydney hotel ahead of the first Bledisloe Cup match between the New Zealanders and Australia's Wallabies in August 2016 made headlines across both nations. Reports at the time said that the device, hidden in a chair, was working and would have transmitted conversations about the All Blacks' strategy for the match. Australian Rugby Union chief Bill Pulver ruled out any Australian involvement at the time, calling the situation ludicrous. In a statement on Tuesday, he praised the police for "providing closure", but hit out at the apparent delay in reporting the presence of the bug. "The aspect that still leaves a bitter taste out of this whole affair is that the discovery of the device was reported publicly on game day, when it is understood that the alleged discovery of the device occurred much earlier in the week leading up to the test match. "Clearly the media attention which resulted from it was a distraction that neither team needed on the morning of a very important test match." The All Blacks went on to beat the Wallabies 42-8. It was the first of three games in the annual Bledisloe Cup, all of which the All Blacks won, taking their unbeaten cup run to 14 years. The discovery will help researchers learn more about the so-called "strong force" which holds the centres of atoms together. The existence of the new particle was theoretically predicted but this is the first time it has been identified. The details of the Xi-cc++ particle were presented at a high-energy physics conference in Venice. The study was carried out at the LHCb experiment and led by Dr Patrick Spradlin of Glasgow University. He said that the discovery would "shed light on a longstanding puzzle and open an exciting new branch of investigation". His colleague, Prof Paul Soler, also from Glasgow University, described the development as "a new frontier in understanding the strong force". Nearly all the matter that we see around us is made of neutrons and protons, which form the centres of atoms. These are made up of three smaller particles called quarks which can be either light or heavy. There are, however, six different types of quarks which combine in different ways to form other kinds of particle. Those that have been detected so far contain at most, one heavy quark. This is the first time that researchers have confirmed the existence of one with two heavy quarks. According to Prof Guy Wilkinson of Oxford University, there is an intriguing difference between the new particle and the ones that have been discovered before. "In contrast to other particles of this type, in which the three quarks perform an elaborate dance around each other, a particle with two heavy quarks is expected to act like a planetary system, where the heavy quarks are like two stars orbiting one around the other, with the lighter quark orbiting around this binary system." The research team will now measure the properties of the Xi-cc++ to establish how this new arrangement of quarks behaves and how the strong force holds the system together. They also expect to find more double heavy quark particles. Another unusual property of the particle is that it has two positive charges double that of the proton and it is four times heavier. The researchers have submitted a paper reporting these findings to the journal Physical Review Letters.

Prof Will Stewart of the Institution of Engineering and Technology said privacy loss was "intrinsic" to such gadgets. His comments come after Samsung warned about a voice activation feature on some of its televisions. It warned people to avoid talking about personal issues in front of their TV in case it grabbed sensitive information. Widespread publicity about the privacy policy for some Samsung Smart TV sets has led the South Korean firm to clarify when such sets listen to what people say. Rather than listening all the time, the voice activation feature works only when people press a button on a remote control and speak into a microphone, it said. At these times, anything said will be recorded and sent across the net for analysis to work out what that person said. It added that it did not retain any audio or sell it on. The publicity prompted a wider discussion about other ways in which smart TVs intrude on privacy or limit the control that people have over how they use them. It brought to light an older report about unwanted adverts appearing on smart TV sets and reports by owners of smart TVs who said they lost access to some features if they did not consent to a manufacturer's privacy policy. In addition in late 2013, LG faced criticism over the way its smart sets gathered information about viewing habits. Some owners of game consoles have also questioned how often their devices are "listening" as many are programmed to respond to voice commands. In mid-2014, a TV advert featuring actor Aaron Paul saying "Xbox on" was found to be switching on consoles in some homes. Prof Stewart said there seemed to be "little danger" in the Samsung case but added that this may become less true as TV sets and other devices got smarter. "Upcoming services, like live translation, do involve wider data sharing and people should be aware of this," he said. In many cases, it was going to be impossible to avoid surrendering private information, Prof Stewart said. "Many more ordinary services like locate-your-friends and car tracking to reduce insurance costs do involve some intrinsic loss of privacy," he said. While most people realised this and were happy to lose a little privacy in return for a material benefit, far fewer realised that the privacy loss was "progressive" and would lead to steadily greater intrusions, he said. 'GcMAF' is an injectable product made from blood which was offered for sale at a health food shop in Bournemouth. Cancer Research UK say the evidence for GcMAF is "scientifically extremely dubious". The BBC has handed a file to the medicines regulator, the MHRA, which is now investigating. In the UK it is illegal to sell an unlicensed medicine. 5 live Investigates received a tip-off that the unlicensed product was available from a man called Nick Greenwood, who works at Earth Foods, a health food shop in Bournemouth. An undercover reporter posed as a customer seeking GcMAF for a relative with cancer, and was told: "It is one of the best ways to try and tackle it". She was offered a month's supply for £600 and told the product would need to be taken for six to 12 months. Patients are told to self-inject 0.5ml of GcMAF every four days, and spray the product under the tongue twice daily. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) told the BBC that GcMAF is "an injectable blood product, the source of which we have no knowledge. We take this issue very seriously". Peter Johnson, chief clinician at Cancer Research UK and a professor of medical oncology, warned there was no credible evidence to support the claims made for GcMAF. He said: "The papers that have been published about GcMAF are scientifically extremely dubious and several of them have been retracted after publication because of doubts about the evidence that they presented. "If it was me, I wouldn't take it," he added. At the small high street shop in Bournemouth, surrounded by shelves stacked with herbs and homeopathic remedies, Mr Greenwood told the BBC reporter about five cancer patients who had taken GcMAF, and none had reported side effects. He said that two of them, who had late-stage cancer, had died. He implied that they had not taken enough of the product, saying in his opinion: "You need to spend more". Mr Greenwood took a medical history from the reporter and said it would be passed on to the shop's supplier - a British woman called Amanda Mary Jewell, based in Mexico. He told the BBC the GcMAF would be dispatched from Bulgaria, via Surrey, and he would take the payment. After the consultation the undercover reporter received a treatment "protocol" from Amanda Mary Jewell and an email in which she claimed to have been "100% successful thus far at eradicating brain tumours", using a combination of GcMAF and other non-conventional therapies. In a follow up telephone call, Nick Greenwood advised using GcMAF over medical treatments saying: "What other way is there to go? I definitely don't recommend chemotherapy. And there's nobody in the world of natural medicine that does." Nick Greenwood encouraged the reporter to take her ill relative to Amanda Mary Jewell's clinic in Puebla, Mexico. Treatment there costs $4,000 (£3,280) for a 21-day stay. Amanda Mary Jewell admits that she is not a doctor, but says she has worked alongside medical professionals for 15 years. She says she does not sell GcMAF from the UK, and claims not to make a profit from GcMAF. She told the BBC: "Patients come to me when the chemotherapy has failed, when the radiation has failed". She believes chemotherapy does more harm than good, calling it "mustard gas" and claims: "We get results. People actually walk out of here alive, when the medical industry in the UK have failed, completely failed." Prof Johnson said he had great concerns about people offering completely unproven treatments in return for money, which he described as "a very dubious practice." "These are very vulnerable people with horrible illnesses who need all the help that they can get, and they need that help on the basis of sound scientifically-based rational advice, not smoke and mirrors, and not snake oil," he said. "We have treated and cured many hundreds of thousands of people over the years with a variety of types of cancer, using chemotherapy, and there's a lot more people who've had benefit in terms of prolonging their life and improving their symptoms. "So for somebody who doesn't really understand it and hasn't really been involved with doing it, to simply say you shouldn't take chemotherapy just strikes me as irresponsible," he added. GcMAF is also marketed at the parents of autistic children. Autism campaigner Fiona O'Leary is trying to stop it being sold and says she has seen cancer patients reject the advice of their doctors in favour of the treatment offered by Ms Jewell. Patients of Amanda Mary Jewell appear in online video testimonials, reporting remarkable recoveries. But sadly several patients who believed they had been cured have since passed away. They were terminally ill and there is no way of knowing the effect of the GcMAF. Fiona O'Leary says while she has no information on how they died, she believes they had been given "false hope, because none of it is proven". She thinks their time and money would be better spent with their families, saying "nobody knows what's in those vials, these people are handing over so much money." One woman told the BBC she turned to GcMAF when her breast cancer spread to her liver and lung, buying it from a different supplier. She spent all her retirement savings - Can $15,000 (£9,350) - but her cancer progressed. She said that with GcMAF "You're blindly putting your faith in something which is not proven". She has now started chemotherapy and says her tumours are shrinking. A MHRA spokesperson said: "Medicines need to go through clinical trials to make sure they are safe, to make sure that the quality of the medicines is assured, that the supply, storage and distribution is done properly. "We can have no assurance this is happening in this case." "We advise members of the public not to buy unlicensed medicines from unregulated sources and have recently launched a campaign to help people purchase medicines safely," he added. 5 live Investigates is on BBC Radio 5 Live on Sunday 16 October.

A television programme to mark Pontypridd's Grogg Shop's 50th anniversary, followed by the World Cup and Christmas have left the shelves sparsely populated. "People came from around the world to see where they were made during the World Cup," said Richard Hughes, 56, who crafts every rugby figure by hand. "It is a bit heart-breaking that during the Six Nations, people will come and we won't have a full display. "We are trying to replenish but we have such a massive range, it's hard to keep everything in stock." The process starts as an idea of how a player's Grogg should look, with Mr Hughes then working to create the perfect master figure. It is then sent to be cast at a factory in Maesteg, before replicas are hand-painted by a team of five, with the whole process taking about 10 weeks. But the "extraordinary" exploits of Dan Biggar at the World Cup have changed the timescales. During the tournament, he not only took over place kicking duties from Leigh Halfpenny, but also his mantle as the most popular figure. With efforts focusing on keeping up with demand for him, other work is on the backburner - with a five-month wait for a new Warren Gatland figure. Mr Hughes said: "I was really worried because I was working on his figure when England started mentioning him as their possible new coach. "If he had gone back to New Zealand, people wouldn't have minded. "But as England coach, nobody [in Wales] would have bought it." With a new figure costing about £10,000 to put into production, deciding who to focus on ahead of this year's Six Nations has been, as always, an almost impossible task. The quickest-selling Grogg was a 2005 version of Gavin Henson, produced just before his exploits in that year's opening Six Nations game. The 500 made are the only ones to ever be sold before making it on to the shelves. But, on the whole, Groggs that will prove popular remain as hard to predict as Welsh results. As a joke, Mr Hughes even bought sister Cathy, who runs the shop with him, a crystal ball for Christmas. "When Graham Henry came over as coach, we went to Scotland and lost, before losing to Ireland at Wembley. So I thought he wasn't going to last long. "We made just 200, thinking, 'who will buy it?' "But then we won in Paris for the first time in 25 years and beat England at Wembley, before going on an 11-match winning streak. "The 200 figures quickly disappeared and it was one of the dumbest things we've done." There are others that will never see the light of day and Mr Hughes describes Shane Williams' retirement Grogg as "the saddest figure I ever started". "He has the 'Diolch' shirt on [that he wore in his last game] and there is a ball on the floor he is walking away from. People went nuts about the idea," said Mr Hughes. "But the following Spring [in 2012] we won the Grand Slam and other things took over. I keep taking it out of the bag and trying to finish it, but I probably won't get time now. "It's quite tragic as I have done most of the work." But one man whose figure will be completed is Japanese World Cup hero Ayumu Goromaru, even though Mr Hughes admits the detail of his Grogg is "driving me nuts". While in many senses modern rugby players resemble super heroes, it was giants from the children's books The Mabinogion, that were the inspiration behind the business. It was models of these that Mr Hughes' dad John, who died in 2013, started trying to sell in the 1960s, with little success. But he then placed Welsh rugby jerseys on them and everything changed. Bitten by the ceramics bug, at 12, Mr Hughes sold a model gorilla he made following a visit to Bristol Zoo and joined the business at 16. "The stars of the 1970s, people like JPR and Barry John, who were like gods not human beings, used to come to the shop. "But I couldn't say to children in school 'guess who was in my house yesterday?' as nobody would believe it." Players still visit the shop and Mr Hughes said they realise "it goes beyond a cap", adding: "As my dad used to say, 'once you've been Grogged, you'll never grow old or be forgotten'." The findings - based on data from 37 regions of the UK - considered factors such as health, safety, access to education and personal rights. Scotland came top of the UK index - scoring 74 out of a possible 100. Wales came bottom with 72 points. The study which features 50 separate indicators, was compiled as part of the EU Regional Social Progress Index. The initiative is a new EU project spearheaded by the European Commission and the Social Progress Imperative, a Brussels-based think tank. Regions' overall scores and scores for the different aspects of social progress data were graded on a scale of 1 - 100. Michael Green, the think tank's executive director told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme that Scotland outperformed other areas of the UK when it came to education and the environment and was more socially progressive. He said: "The standard way of comparing countries is often about measuring how rich they are. "What we've done is we've left money to one side and instead looked at all the things that make up a good society from education to health, to tolerance, to the environment - all those different factors bundled together. And of the four nations of the United Kingdom, Scotland comes out number one." Mr Green said that on issues around tolerance, Scotland outperformed all other areas of the UK. He added: "We measure this for all of the countries of the world and what we find is that tolerance is a really hard problem for countries both rich and poor. "So if Scotland is doing well on this maybe there are lessons for other countries all around the world." Mr Green said despite its good performance, there were significant challenges for Scottish society. He said that, like the rest of the UK, obesity was a really big problem and said the other "striking" issue was that Scotland did not perform well on the number of people dying before the age of 65. "These are very worrying indicators where Scotland does not do well." People in south western Scotland had the lowest life expectancy in the UK at just 78 years, with those in eastern Scotland not far behind on 79.5 years. Scots were also the worst performing nation in the UK for road safety. The study found that English people enjoyed less freedom to make informed life choices. However, south of the border people consistently had better access to the internet and broadband, with London topping the UK index. Across the continent, the highest performing region for quality of life was Upper Norrland in Sweden, which scored 82 out of 100 while the lowest scoring region, South East Bulgaria, managed just 39.72. Other indicators in the study included infant mortality, overcrowding, murder rates and air quality. Michael, Trudie and Ellen Birch, and family friend Robert Edwards, were all sentenced to six weeks in custody, suspended for 12 months. Gloucester County Court heard they caused nuisance to neighbours in the city by shouting and swearing. The judge said former neighbours were "pleased" they had now moved away. The defendants were found guilty at an earlier hearing of five counts of breaching anti-social behaviour injunctions issued last October - including annoying neighbours in Russell Street, Gloucester by shouting at them, pushing them and threatening them with violence. The court heard Michael, 69, and Trudie Birch, 28, have now been housed temporarily in Stroud, but this arrangement was likely to end later this week. Ellen Birch, 23, and Mr Edwards told the court they were now homeless. District Judge David Hebblethwaite described the breaches as "serious", and said their previous neighbours were now "pleased" they had moved away. He said they all had a "history of disobedience of court orders", and said the breaches were committed shortly after the order was made. "However you no longer live in the city and you appear to want to make a new start and not cause harassment to neighbours," he said on passing the suspended sentence. Michael, Trudie and Ellen Birch have all served custodial sentences previously, and Mr Edwards has previously been given a suspended sentence, for similar offences. The family were featured on BBC Inside Out West on BBC One earlier this week. Motor journalist Chris Harris and TV presenter Rory Reid have also been signed to co-present the programme. They will join Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc when the BBC Two programme returns in May. The new presenters were signed after Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond left the programme last year. Sabine Schmitz will become the show's first female presenter in 15 years. The last was Vicki Butler-Henderson in 2001. Speaking about her new role, Schmitz said "the chance to combine both driving and filming was too good an opportunity to pass up". "I've appeared on Top Gear a few times in the past, so I know we're going to have a lot of fun," she added. Schmitz has already been filming a sequence with Chris Evans for the new series that "will leave even the most hardened speed-demons gasping for breath when it debuts on TV", the BBC said in a statement. Her fellow co-presenter Chris Harris is well known for fronting various motoring programmes on YouTube. Referencing the show's cheeky and irreverent style, Harris said: "I'm quite gobby and happy to get into trouble, so I'm hoping I can underpin the programme with journalistic credibility but still cause some mischief." Newcomer Rory Reid was recruited to Top Gear from the show's 2015 public auditions, but previously presented for CNET's Car Tech channel, and also had a starring role in Sky 1's Gadget Geeks series. He said: "When I submitted my 30-second audition tape, I knew the odds were very firmly against me, as the auditions were open to absolutely everybody. "To be the only person to make it through the open audition process makes me immensely proud." Former presenter Jeremy Clarkson left the show last year after an "unprovoked physical attack" on one of the show's producers. His co-stars James May and Richard Hammond also exited the show. All three have since been signed up to present a new motoring programme for Amazon Prime. Chris Evans said of his new Top Gear gang: "We really do have a bit of everything for everyone." Stephen Parkes, 35, from Walsall, was banned from keeping dogs for a year after being convicted of fox hunting at Birmingham Magistrates' Court. Police found a group of men and two dead foxes on waste ground off Goscote Lodge Crescent, Walsall, last November, the hearing was told. Parkes, of Bloxwich Road, was also ordered to pay £270 in costs. He denied fox hunting contrary to the 2004 Hunting Act and two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to the dogs and was prosecuted by the RSPCA. Read more news for Birmingham and the Black Country Police officers came across a group of men who scattered leaving Parkes and another man at the scene holding shovels, the court heard. Commenting on the court hearing, RSPCA inspector Rob Crutchley said: "The two dogs had nasty-looking wounds to their muzzles which a vet later confirmed were consistent with fighting with a fox. "Likewise, the fox had injuries to his body which were consistent with being attacked by dogs, and a post-mortem examination confirmed this. "This is a horrific case which not only caused suffering to a fox, but also to the two dogs as well." A Treasury analysis suggests an EU exit could see the UK economy 6% smaller than it would otherwise be by 2030. Mr Osborne said the smaller size of the economy projected in the report was the equivalent of £4,300 per household. Leave campaigners called the claims "absurd" and "worthless" given the Treasury's past forecasting record. Conservative MP John Redwood, who is campaigning for an Out vote, said: "This is a Treasury which failed to forecast the huge damage membership of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism inflicted on us and they were always very keen to join us and it gave us a huge recession. They failed to forecast the damage to the UK of the Eurozone crisis of 2011." But Mr Osborne defended the report's findings on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, saying: "The conclusions could not be clearer. Britain would be permanently poorer if we left the EU to the tune of £4,300 for every household in the country. That's a fact everyone should think about " The report suggests leaving the European Union and signing a "Canada-style" bilateral agreement with the rest of the EU could mean tax receipts falling by £36bn, or a third of the annual NHS budget. The report says that could mean an 8% increase in the basic rate of income tax. The Treasury report does admit there are better scenarios. Or, to be more accurate, less bad scenarios. Critics say that forecasts out to 2030 are open to a great deal of interpretation and have to be based on assumptions that can be disputed. Read more from Kamal The chancellor said "it would be the poorest" who would be most affected by an EU exit, citing people whose jobs "depend" on the car plants and steel making factories. "They are the people whose incomes would go down, whose house prices would fall, whose job prospects would weaken, they are the people who always suffer when the country takes an economic wrong turn," he said. The chancellor later said in a speech setting out the report's details that EU membership had increased UK trade with EU countries by about "three quarters". "Greater openness leading to higher productivity and rising living standards," he said, adding that the UK economy could be "4% greater" by staying in. The 200-page Treasury document, written by government economists, also says there would be a £36bn a year hit for the UK's public finances if it left the EU - equivalent to raising the basic rate of income tax by 8p, the chancellor said. BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the figure allowed the Remain side to make the argument that there would have to be big spending cuts or tax rises to plug the gap. The report looks at three scenarios in the event of a vote to leave the EU on 23 June. Each scenario has a strong negative impact on the economy, according to the report, but the forecasted 6% hit to national income growth is based on the Canadian trade model with the EU. Leave campaigners, including London mayor Boris Johnson, have said there would be no downsides to leaving, and suggested the UK could ape Canada's trade arrangement with the EU. But Mr Osborne said it was "economically illiterate" to say the UK could retain "all the benefits" of EU membership and "none of the obligations or costs". Any trade arrangement would lead to less access to the EU single market unless Britain was prepared to pay into the EU budget and accept the free movement of people, he said. In his Daily Telegraph column, Mr Johnson said the referendum was on a "knife edge" and accused the "usual suspects" of trying to convince Britons to accept "the accelerating loss of democratic self-government as the price of economic prosperity". "We have heard from the IMF (who got the Asian crisis completely wrong), as well as the banks and the CBI, all of whom were wrong about the euro. "Davos man - the kind of people whose club class air tickets are paid by the taxpayer, all the lobbyists and corporate affairs directors of the big companies: they are all increasingly nervous that they have been rumbled, that people can see the emperor has no clothes and that Britain could have a glorious future outside the EU," he said. Energy minister Andrea Leadsom, a Vote Leave supporter, said the report was "extraordinarily biased" and the UK would have a "massively bright" future outside the EU. The Treasury analysis, she said, did not take into account the benefits of not having to to pay into the EU budget and the greater flexibility to negotiate trade deals or the impact on levels of migration and pressure on public services, such as school places, of remaining in the EU. Leaving the EU would merely represent a "change of governance", she told Radio 4's World at One, with a smaller economic effect than the UK's exit from the Exchange Rate Mechanism in 1992. "My own view is that in the early days people would be horrified at how little would change," she said. But Andrew Mackenzie, head of mining giant BHP Billiton, said there would be a decade of uncertainty if the UK voted to leave the EU, and that the country would be reduced to "rule takers". "On trade, the EU has negotiated broadly effective deals for Europe and the UK. Restoring these agreements after Brexit would take years, perhaps a decade, of negotiation," he said. The actor's family confirmed he died in London's Hillingdon Hospital on Tuesday after a short illness. Zeta-Jones, who co-starred with Watson in the 1990s ITV drama, described him as a "true gentleman". "Such sad news that the wonderful Moray has passed away. We shall all miss him. He was and is a national treasure," she said. Viewers saw Watson appear as local retired army officer the Brigadier in The Darling Buds of May, which ran from 1991 to 1993. Broadcaster Gyles Brandreth said: "People loved him because, as a person, he was very witty, very droll. He had a fantastic sense of humour, and he would bring out these wonderfully amusing anecdotes. "He was also extremely kind to people, and he was in every sense a gentleman. He really was a safe pair of hands, and a calming influence to have on stage and on set." Watson's acting credits include appearing alongside Cary Grant in the The Grass Is Greener and a role in the 1960s soap Compact. He also starred in two episodes of Doctor Who in the same decade and played Mr Bennet in a 1980 version of Pride and Prejudice. Watson is survived by his son Robin, daughter Emma, and four grandchildren. His wife, American-born actress Pam Marmont, died in 1999. A private funeral service will follow, his family said, with a public memorial service to be confirmed at a later date. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Before his abrupt removal from office earlier this month, he was a strong contender to rise to the elite seven-member committee that rules China. But now China's anti-corruption body says it is investigating him for serious violations of discipline. The move comes ahead of a key Communist Party meeting in the autumn when those tipped to succeed the current president and premier - who according to convention will step down in 2022 after 10 years in power - are expected to be revealed. Murder in the Lucky Holiday Hotel Mr Sun is the youngest member of the Politburo, the 25-member body subordinate only to the seven-member Standing Committee. He is the first serving Politburo member to be investigated since Bo Xilai, a charismatic high-flyer who also served as Chongqing party chief until he was jailed for corruption in 2013 amid a scandal over the murder of a British businessman. One of the world's most important elections is happening right now, behind closed doors. In a few months, China is expected to unveil its next generation of leaders. Until last week, Sun Zhengcai was expected to be one of them but then he was abruptly removed from his job and now, he's under investigation. A few weeks ago, Mr Sun publicly professed his continued loyalty to Chinese President Xi Jinping. Perhaps Mr Xi questioned that loyalty, or other political machinations could have led to Sun Zhengcai's surprising downfall. The real reasons that led to his demise are hidden from view. But two things are clear: first, the leadership race is proving to be more turbulent than predicted. And also, in the shadowy world of Chinese politics, anything can happen before an official announcement is made. Mr Sun was appointed party leader in Chongqing in November 2012, having previously served as party secretary in Jilin province and as agriculture minister from 2006-2009. He has now been replaced in Chongqing by Chen Min'er, who is seen as a protégé of President Xi. Since taking power in 2012, Mr Xi has launched a wide-ranging crackdown on corruption which has brought down several senior officials and which, correspondents say, he is believed to be using to consolidate power ahead of the party meeting in the autumn. It is now a crime to continue using the site, linksunten.indymedia, Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière said. Police have seized computers and some weapons in raids on addresses of activists in the south-western Baden-Wuerttemberg region. Dozens of anti-capitalist protesters clashed with police during the G20. In a tweet, the German interior ministry described the portal as "the central communications platform among far-left extremists prone to violence". It said the site was used to exchange tips about violent protest methods and to spread "anti-constitutional extreme left-wing content". In Friday's police raids, German broadcaster ARD said, knives, batons, piping and slingshots were seized. Germany mulls tags for potential rioters Could Germany have avoided G20 clashes?

A banning instruction forces internet service providers (ISPs) to block a particular website, such that users trying to access it see an error message or an official warning. Sometimes websites take evasive action by switching to a proxy server abroad or by using the internet privacy tool Tor. In Hamburg, nearly 200 police officers were injured in clashes with masked protesters in early July. Under the slogan "Welcome to hell", protesters looted shops, torched cars and threw stones and petrol bombs at police, who tried to disperse them with water cannon and baton charges. Belfast's MAC is the 500th member of Breastfeeding Welcome Here, in which venues show their support for the scheme by displaying a pink sticker. A list of scheme members - from cafés to libraries and church halls - can be found on the BreastFedBabies website. The Department of Health says NI's breastfeeding rates have remained static for several years. Mothers in Northern Ireland who choose to breastfeed also do so for a shorter period than breastfeeding mothers elsewhere in the UK, according to department figures. The Breastfeeding Welcome Here initiative is being led by the Public Health Agency (PHA) and is designed to show community support for breastfeeding mothers. Janet Calvert of the PHA said World Breastfeeding Week from 1-7 August offered an important opportunity to get that message across. "Breastfeeding is the best start in life," she said. "Showing increased support for breastfeeding mums is really important, as Northern Ireland has the lowest breastfeeding rates in the UK and one of the lowest rates in Europe. "We know that for many mums, getting started isn't easy. Information and support is essential, both before baby is born, and especially in the early days, so that mums can build their confidence and stay with their decision to breastfeed. In January, the then health minister Michelle O'Neill promised to bring forward legislation as soon as possible to protect mothers who breastfeed in public. This was shortly before the collapse of Northern Ireland's power-sharing executive.

He died at home in Miami at 07:20 local time (11:20 GMT) on Thursday. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, as Cecil Bustamante Campbell, he became a legend of the burgeoning ska music genre in 1960s Jamaica under the stage name Prince Buster. He was an influence on groups including Madness and The Specials in the British ska revival of the late 1970s. His decision to use a syncopated beat on tracks such as Little Honey, They Got to Go and Thirty Pieces of Silver is credited as pivotal in ska music's development and he gave himself the moniker "King of Ska". A keen boxer in his youth, Prince Buster converted to Islam after meeting Muhammad Ali. Prince Buster is survived by his wife Mola Ali and his children. 5 December 2016 Last updated at 01:04 GMT There has been little improvement in the maternal mortality rate over the past few decades and according to Unicef, 732 mothers die for every 100,000 live births.

Singer Loreen, 28, will sing club track Euphoria in the semi-finals early next week - in which 37 countries will compete for the final 20 spots. But veteran star Englebert Humperdinck, representing the UK, believes he could win with Love Will Set You Free. "I think it has a very strong chance," he said of the ballad. The crooner, best known for his number one hits Release Me and The Last Waltz, said he believed the track has "a great melody, a great storyline and... longevity". "It's a Viennese waltz and waltzes have a romantic feel and people usually dance slow to it. I think this has a great, great chance." UK bookmakers have Sweden down as the strongest contender for the Eurovision crown, with odds of 7/1 to win; William Hill is reporting betting odds of 10/1 for Humperdinck to take the title. Humperdinck, who set off for Baku from his Leicester home on Friday, does not have to compete in the semi-final stage. The UK has an automatic pass to the finals as one of the contest's five biggest financial donors - alongside France, Spain, Germany and Italy. The 78-year-old singer told reporters that he is proud to be performing at Eurovision, which he said had provided "an uplift in my career" despite some comments in the press about his age. "I don't think age has got anything to do with the singing, with the contest. "It's not a talent competition, it's a song contest and because of my experience of travelling around the world and being an ambassador for my country, I think it stands a good chance." Ross Waterhouse, aged 22, of Hyde Park, Leeds, pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnap and rape. Matthias Buchmeier, 30, of Manor Park, Scarcroft, denied one count of kidnap.

Last year, hackers stole the personal information of millions of the website's customers, which helps link up married people who wish to cheat. The hack led to an internal shake-up. Chief executive Rob Segal and president James Millership took the helm in April, Avid Life said on Monday. The two told Reuters they did not know the exact focus of the FTC's investigation. A spokesperson for the commission declined to comment on the investigation. The FTC's consumer protection unit can investigate cases where consumers were told their information was secure, but was then handled recklessly or inappropriately. In 2015, hackers published the data stolen from Ashley Madison, exposing the personal information, including names, of the website's users. Ashley Madison- which uses the slogan "Life is short, have an affair" - has faced a mounting list of investigations and lawsuits since the website was hacked. In a statement on Monday, Mr Segal said: "The company is truly sorry for how people's lives and relationships may have been affected by the criminal theft of personal information." The company plans to spend millions of dollars improving its cyber security and Mr Millership said its aim was "to rebuild Ashley Madison as the world's most open-minded dating community." In 2014, another of Avid's dating sites, JDI Dating, paid $616,165 (£473,268) to settle an FTC investigation into that site's use of computer programs that created fake profiles, known as fembots. The use of fembots was judged to be misleading to customers. Ashley Madison was also exposed for using fembots in 2015. The website used these programs to strike up conversatiosn with paying male customers. The website has a five to one male to female ratio. Avid said it shut down these fake profiles in the US, Canada and Australia in 2014 and the rest of the world by 2015. "It chimed quite vividly with me because so many of my friends are finding it quite hard to go through that," Piper says. "It seems to be a very common topic at the moment." Piper plays the title role of Yerma in a modern retelling of Federico Garcia Lorca's 1934 tragedy about a woman whose desperation to become a mother is met with indifference by her husband. Simon Stone's version, which begins previews at the Young Vic this week, relocates the action from rural Spain to contemporary London. Speaking during a break in rehearsals, Piper admits she hadn't heard of the play until she was approached about the role at the end of last year. "I read the original, and I thought that it was one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry," she says. "It's that story of a modern woman who is suddenly suffocated and strangled by her ticking clock. "I witness that all around me, and I read about it frequently. I thought that it seemed like a very relevant piece of work." Stone, who also directs, is no stranger to giving classic plays a modern makeover. His adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's The Wild Duck played at London's Barbican in 2014. It also inspired his debut feature film, The Daughter, starring Geoffrey Rush and Miranda Otto. Stone, who has been described as Australian theatre's enfant terrible, says he likes to liberate pre-existing stories that are "maybe a little bit stuck in their era". "I'm always looking for myths for the modern world," he says. "Yerma is a play that I loved and thought about a lot, but hadn't got round to putting it at the top of my list of priorities. "It's a great story about a woman who becomes so preoccupied by the idea of having a child and increasingly destroyed by the idea that it's not going to be possible." Stone advises audiences not to get distracted by the contemporary London setting. "The play that I'm writing is for the theatre I'm putting it on in," he says. "The theatre happens to be in London in 2016." He adds: "This particular myth of the woman who can't, surrounded by women who can, is happening everywhere in the world at all times." Although Yerma is billed as a tragedy, Piper says that she was drawn to the humour in Stone's script. "I was glad when you told me in an email it was going to be a crack," she tells Stone. "Identification with characters happens through comedy," he responds. "That's how you make friends - one you've just met a new colleague and you go to the pub, the moment where you ensure a bond is when you start telling jokes." "People at the end of their rope are usually quite entertaining," Piper adds. "It's hell for them, but it's always great for the person who's witnessing it. That's just life." Piper's previous theatre work in London includes Great Britain and The Effect, both at the National Theatre, Reasons To Be Pretty, at the Almeida, and Treats at the Garrick. She found initial fame as a teenage pop singer, scoring two number one hits in 1998, before her acting career took off when she was cast as Rose in Doctor Who. Her other TV credits include The Ruby in the Smoke, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Mansfield Park and Penny Dreadful. Piper says rehearsals for Yerma are like nothing she's experienced. "I feel like we're making something that is very grounded in its concept, but feels very filmic in its energy," she says. "It will be an unusual piece of theatre just by definition of how it will be staged," she adds, without elaborating for fear of spoilers. But she does reveal the play is straight-through with no interval. "It's going to be sharp - 'in-out, let's have a beer,'" she laughs. "People care about that when they go to the theatre. It's going to be impactful, and it's going to be short." She pauses and looks across at Stone. "And it's going to be funny." Yerma is at the Young Vic, London, 28 July - 24 September Political opponents and critics of ruler Yahya Jammeh are regular targets, says the report, the first into The Gambia by HRW investigators. One man was reportedly forced to drink cooking oil, while others had melted plastic bags dripped on to their skin. The Gambian government has declined to comment on the report to the BBC. The report was based on interviews with 35 victims and witnesses of violations committed mainly over the last two years in the west African nation. Much of it focuses on the actions of Gambia's National Intelligence Agency, a group also known as the Jungulers, who are loyal to President Jammeh. Their reported torture methods include rape, near-suffocation with plastic bags and electric shocks. President Jammeh has ruled The Gambia with a firm hand since he came to power in a coup 20 years ago. He has also implemented tough measures against the country's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. He has called gay people "vermin" and threatened to slit their throats. Homosexual acts are illegal in The Gambia and MPs passed a bill last August imposing life sentences for "aggravated homosexuality". HRW said one gay man was beaten with clubs and threatened with death if he did not name other gay men. While the European Union withdrew nearly $15m (£9.7m) in funding from The Gambia last year, HRW is not calling on other donors to follow suit. "So long as security forces and paramilitary groups act with impunity, Gambians will suffer," said Felicity Thompson, the group's West Africa researcher. Correction 18 September: This article has been updated to make it clear HRW is not calling for donors to cut aid to The Gambia. The 2014 World Cup qualifying setback in Novi Sad was Wales' worst since their 7-1 loss to Netherlands in 1996. "We knew it was going to be difficult, but we didn't see this coming," said Coleman. "To say we are disappointed is an understatement and we have to do much better because the goals we conceded were criminal." Full Wales fixture list He added: "We have a mountain to climb because we have not gone into half-time on level terms in any of the four games since I've been in charge." Defeat by Serbia consigned Wales to bottom of the Group A table as their winless run continued following their 2-0 opening defeat by Belgium on Friday. Coleman said he had seen positives in the loss to Belgium despite defender James Collins earning a red card midway through the first half. But what followed against Serbia left Wales' successor to the late Gary Speed "gutted". "I'm embarrassed by the performance, I have to use that word," said Coleman, who won 32 caps as a player for Wales. "When you play for your country, you have to have a bit of bite and you have to be difficult to beat. We've got the players to play football, we know that, but we have to earn the right to do that. "We almost did it Friday until we got a man sent off. Nevertheless we marched on, we pushed Belgium all the way. "But tonight we never earned it. As soon as we went 1-0 down, then we go 2-0, then there's an amazing goal from Gareth Bale. I'm gutted, I'm disappointed, the players are, but what we can't do is accept that performance and we won't accept it "We're getting to half-time where it's 2-1 and we're right in the game because they started to get a bit nervous. Then we gift them a third goal before half-time, which is unbelievably disappointing and deflating. "In the second-half, we said the next goal will change it - and the next goal went to them. It did change it. It went from bad to worse, unfortunately. "But I accept responsibility. I'm the manager, I've said that. I'm gutted, I'm disappointed, the players are, but what we can't do is accept that performance - and we won't accept it. "To lose 6-1 is an absolute hammering and we can't ignore that." After taking a backseat as Wales lost to Costa Rica in a tribute to Speed, Coleman has presided over three successive 2-0 defeats, by Mexico,Bosnia-Hercegovina and Belgium. Six regulars were missing for the defeat by Belgium, while Collins added to the Welsh woes by getting sent off after only 26 minutes. Of the absentees, who included striker Craig Bellamy, only Joe Allen returned for the trip to Serbia having recovered from illness. In qualifying rounds three and four, Wales face Scotland at Cardiff City Stadium on 12 October and four days later travel to Croatia. Scotland followed up their opening draw against Scotland with another point in a 1-1 finish against Macedonia. Croatia's clash with fellow Group A favourites Belgium also ended 1-1. There are still issues over "meeting contractual capabilities" securing export orders, cost cutting, and commercial exposure, Airbus says. The firm added that technical problems with engines for its new A320neo aircraft were still to be resolved. The warnings came as Airbus posted quarterly figures showing a 52% fall in net profits to 240m euros (£203m). The A400M has suffered a number of setbacks over the years, most seriously a crash during a test flight in Spain in 2015 which led to the deaths of the four crew members. Total revenues for the three-month period rose 7% to 13bn euros, with Airbus predicting that it was on track to deliver more than 700 commercial aircraft during 2017, up from 688 in 2016. "New order activity was low in Q1 as predicted but let's not forget that our strong order book of over 6,700 commercial aircraft supports our ongoing production ramp-up. Programme execution remains key for all our businesses," said Tom Enders, Airbus chief executive. However, Airbus has been weighed down by weaker prices as it changes to new models and higher production costs. And the company, which makes its aircraft wings in the UK, expects deliveries of the A320neo once again to fall predominantly in the latter part of the year. However, it said it hoped to avoid the last-minute rush seen in December last year. Technical issues with the Pratt & Whitney engine "need to be resolved," Airbus said in its statement. Harald Wilhelm, finance director, told reporters later that the demonstrated performance on the US company's new Geared Turbofan engines was "not satisfactory" and that although a technical solution was in hand, "we still need to see proof coming through". The Airbus Helicopters unit slipped into loss as the world's largest commercial helicopter maker continues to suffer from the grounding of aircraft in UK and Norway, following a crash that killed North Sea oil workers. The gun was found with ammunition during a security alert at Lismourne Place on Friday, 22 January. Police said that the discovery was part of an operation investigating dissident republican activity by a group known as the New IRA. Supt Mark McEwan said that the weapon could have had a "devastating impact". "We believe that this item was brought into the Strabane area in an attempt to carry out an attack on police," he said. "This would have been an attempt to kill police officers. "The calibre of this weapon is such that the ammunition that was recovered along with it is capable of penetrating brick walls. "So, any sort of attack that is carried out using a weapon of this style is in complete disregard for the safety of the community." The new IRA is believed to have been formed in 2012 from an amalgamation of previously disparate dissident republican organisations. They include the Real IRA, Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAD) and a coalition of independent armed republican groups and individuals, some of whom are believed to have been involved in the murder of 25-year-old Catholic Constable Ronan Kerr in 2011. Supt McEwan said that the weapon would be given a full forensic examination and has appealed to the public for information. The Justice Minister David Ford said it was a worrying development. "It is clear that there are a small number of people who are intent on dragging us back to the past. "There is no doubt that it put at risk the lives of those in the vicinity had it been used." Simon Buckden, 44, got more than £7,500 in money and services after pretending to have rectal cancer. He also claimed to have served in the SAS and seen active duty in Bosnia and both Gulf Wars. Buckden, from Leeds, denied six counts of fraud but on the fifth day of his trial changed his plea to guilty. Live updates and more from across West Yorkshire Buckden hit the headlines after announcing he would run 100 marathons in 100 weeks to raise awareness of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and money for Help for Heroes. During the challenge he announced he had cancer but would continue running. However, medical records revealed he had never been diagnosed with the disease. Leeds Crown Court heard Buckden, who took part in the Olympic torch relay in the run up to the 2012 London Olympic Games, was a military clerk and had never experienced frontline duty. Among those he defrauded, Richard McCann - whose mother, Wilma, was killed by the Yorkshire Ripper - gave Buckden a free place on a speaking course. He was also given free therapy sessions, a publicity film, and received £2,000 for a holiday and around £1,500 to set up a social enterprise. Prosecutor Craig Hassell said "people were, naturally, moved by his story and moved to try to help him". Ex-serviceman Phil Lee, who was also conned, said Buckden's actions were damaging to genuine veterans. "Lots of guys who I served with, who are genuine veterans, are deeply offended by these characters who proclaim to have served in many parts of the world or worked with special forces when it's fairly clear they were nowhere near," he said. "It brings the reputation of veterans down and it's something we can genuinely do without." Buckden, of of Landseer Way, Bramley, Leeds, is due to be sentenced on Monday. Perhaps you go along to see the doctor, who tells you what is wrong and gives you a note called a prescription to take to the chemist to get the medicine. But who is organising this treatment and making sure that everyone in the UK is as healthy as possible? That is the job of an organisation called the NHS. The NHS stands for the National Health Service. It is the health service that everybody in the UK can use when they become poorly or injured, to help them to get better. It is 'free at the point of use', which means people can be treated for free when they are poorly. It is paid for through taxes, which is money that UK adults pay to the government. (Find out more about this below) It includes doctors, nurses, surgeons, ambulance drivers, opticians, paramedics, midwifes (who help to deliver babies), psychologists and all sorts of other people whose job it is to make sure people stay healthy. It started in 1948, as the government believed that everyone should be able to get healthcare - no matter how much or little money they had. Before the NHS, people would usually have to pay to get help if they got ill. Everyone currently living in the UK can use the NHS if they are poorly. If you are not living in the UK, you can still walk into a hospital and get medical help - but you may have to pay for it. It depends which UK country you live in whether or not you will have to pay for medicines. For example, in England, you will start to pay for prescriptions when you are 16, but in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales they are always free. It costs a lot of money to provide healthcare to the whole population. To do this, the NHS is paid for by taxes collected by the government. A little bit of money does come from other places - like the medicines that patients have to pay for in England and money from those who pay for NHS services. The NHS has a fixed amount of money called a budget, which it can spend on services for the whole population - and it must decide very carefully how to spend that money. Currently, many NHS services say they are struggling and they need more money to be given to them. One of the issues is that we are living for longer than we used to, which means there are more elderly people. Older people are more likely to need the NHS to help to take care of them - and this costs money. The NHS is an extremely large organisation, so lots of people are in charge of different parts. The UK government does not run the NHS for the whole of the UK though. It looks after the NHS in England. The governments in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales look after their own NHS. No, they don't. The NHS provides healthcare that is free at the time you need it. However, you can pay for it too - for example, if you want to see someone quicker than the NHS is able to provide, there are other healthcare services. This is called 'private healthcare' - and you have to pay for it. There are doctors and nurses, and many other medical professionals, who work 'privately'. This means they do the same job, but you have to pay to use their services at the time. The Grade I-listed Wentworth Woodhouse, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, is larger than Buckingham Palace. The 82-acre estate has been on sale since May with a price tag in excess of £8m. The deal had been due to be completed shortly, with terms agreed. Estate Agents Savills confirmed the deal with Lake House Group, which is based in Hong Kong, was off. A Savills spokesperson would not comment on a Times report stating subsidence caused by mining had been the reason behind the pull-out. The Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust (WWPT) said an estimated £42m is needed to spend on repairs to the home. The Georgian mansion, which is open to the public for tours, has more than 300 rooms and a 185m (606ft) facade. Julie Kenny, chair of the WWPT, said: "It did always strike me that they might drop out, so we have continued and will continue the battle to save this beautiful home. "It needs a proper plan to repair it, renovate it and then open it to the public." It was bought in 1999 by architect Clifford Newbold, who died in April. His family made the "reluctant decision" to sell the property after his death. Restoration work was under way but it had been hampered by subsidence caused by mining, which was a key source of income to help with running costs for the house's former owners. The history of Wentworth Woodhouse and the nearby village of Wentworth is linked with three aristocratic families, the Wentworths, Watsons and Fitzwilliams. Photographer Shirley Baker died in 2014 aged 82, leaving behind a body of work that had received little attention over her 55-year career. An exhibition of her images is now on show at Manchester Art Gallery. It focuses on what Baker saw as the needless destruction of working-class communities between the 1960s and 80s. The museum held an open day in the hope of tracking down people who featured in the photographs, some of whom have come forward. Baker's images often show families going about their daily lives, with gangs of children playing in the street. Broken urban landscapes of rubble, junk and abandoned shops also feature widely, at a time when dilapidated old houses were being bulldozed. Many hundreds of homes fell into disrepair in the post-war era - sometimes due to bomb damage - forcing some families to leave for new areas. Baker, who was born in Salford in 1932, once said: "Whole streets were disappearing and I hoped to capture some trace of the everyday life of people who lived there. "I wanted to photograph the mundane, even trivial aspects of life not being recorded by anyone else, rather than the organised and official activities." Mary Sullivan, Sally Sheldon, Kate Withington and Bridget Cunniffe grew up in Honduras Street in Chorlton-on-Medlock, which features in some of the photographs. Ms Cunniffe said: "We didn't have much room to play in our house, because it was just a two-up, two-down, and we had just a little back yard where all the washing used to be done. "So we were always outside. Those demolished playgrounds were our playgrounds." Brothers Stephen, Derek and Peter Williamson, who lived as part of a 10-strong family in Gertrude Street in Ordsall, Salford, are pictured in the exhibition. "It was known as tea leaf alley, because all the old ladies used to empty their teapots into the road," Derek said. "I smile when I see [the photographs] now. I think they were good times. I appreciated everything we had." Women and Children: and Loitering Men will be on show at Manchester Art Gallery until the end of July Matt Horn was bitten while trying to protect his boy, who was struck first, said snake catcher Mark Pelley. Both were treated in hospital and released. Tiger snakes, found along Australia's coast, are one of the world's most venomous reptiles. Local newspaper the Herald Sun said the boy, Braeden, who has autism, encountered the snake in a hallway. "He had already started playing with it when my wife saw him out of the corner of her eye," Mr Horn told the newspaper. "It struck him on the toe and inner leg." Paramedics called Mr Pelley to the house at midnight on Wednesday. "The father did the right thing, he saved his son and got bitten in the process," Mr Pelley told the BBC. "I entered the room, found the snake, safely removed it, and the father was treated by paramedics." Mr Pelley said the snake, a protected species, will be removed from populated areas and released into the wild. "They are the fifth or sixth most deadly land snake on the planet and they've got very powerful venom that can take effect very quickly," he said. "You can die within half an hour of being bitten by one of these guys." Mr Pelley said snakes were not normally aggressive, but often entered homes to escape hot weather. "I've caught snakes in dishwashers, refrigerators, beds, cars, inside walls. You name it, I've found a snake there," he said. Melbourne's Austin Hospital said it discharged a man and boy on Wednesday after treating them for snake bites. Stephen Hunt, 38, died in July 2013 after taking a wrong turning inside the smoke-filled rooms of Paul's Hair World in Oldham Street, Manchester. He was among 60 firefighters called to the fire in the Northern Quarter area. The jury spent 30 minutes at the shop and examined the rear doors where the inquest has heard two 15-year-old girls had been smoking. On Monday, the coroner Nigel Meadows described how the girls had been smoking in the doorway on the day of the fatal fire. One of them said they had both stubbed out their cigarettes but one had been knocked under the door. Alongside legal representatives and the coroner, the jurors were taken through the main entrance and shown through to the rear of the building, where they were shown the doors. It is believed Mr Hunt and a colleague, both wearing breathing apparatus, got into difficulties inside the building - when visibility was virtually nil - and had to be rescued. Mr Hunt, from Bury, was taken to hospital where he died. Following the blaze, the two girls were arrested, and one was charged with arson but the charges were later dropped. The business has since been refurbished and reopened and a plaque dedicated to the father-of-two placed on the exterior wall. The inquest, which is expected to last five weeks, continues. The National Maritime Museum Cornwall in Falmouth said it was "an opportune time to restructure". A spokesman said the equivalent of three full-time jobs out of 34 staff would be lost and a new head of commerce appointed. The museum opened in 2002 with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the now defunct South West Regional Development Agency. Richard Doughty, museum director, said: "Despite record-breaking visitor numbers this year and the strongest financial performance ever, we still carry a financial deficit." Mr Doughty said the entire arts and museums sector in the UK "continues to go through difficult times". According to the Charity Commission website, the museum had an income of around £2.27m in 2014-15 compared to a spend of around £2.56m. Karl Perryman, 51, was head of complaints and legal services at King's Lynn's Queen Elizabeth Hospital when he wrote the letters between late 2012 and early 2013. He told colleague Joanne O'Neill she had "slept her way to the top". He was jailed for 14 months at Norwich Crown Court earlier. Perryman, of Elvington, King's Lynn, was found guilty of of stalking, harassment of a work colleague and intimidating a witness, by a jury at King's Lynn Crown Court in March. He first met Ms O'Neill - now Mrs O'Neill-Brown - when she went for what turned out to be an unsuccessful job interview at the hospital. The jury was told Perryman later phoned her and promised to find her a role there. She subsequently became a complaints manager at the hospital. Perryman sent eight abusive letters after Ms O'Neill began a relationship with the hospital's deputy director of ICT, who she has since married. In May 2013, police seized computers and evidence from his home, linking Perryman to the letters. He was later arrested and suspended from working at the hospital. Perryman was sentenced to 12 months in prison for stalking and two months in prison for witness intimidation to run consecutively. He has also been issued with an indefinite restraint order. In March, it was reported that a Lithuanian man had been charged over an email phishing attack against "two US-based internet companies" that were not named at the time. They had allegedly been tricked into wiring more than $100m to the alleged scammer's bank accounts. On 27 April, Fortune reported that the two victims were Facebook and Google. The man accused of being behind the scam, Evaldas Rimasauskas, 48, allegedly posed as an Asia-based manufacturer and deceived the companies from at least 2013 until 2015. "Fraudulent phishing emails were sent to employees and agents of the victim companies, which regularly conducted multimillion-dollar transactions with [the Asian] company," the US Department of Justice (DOJ) said in March. These emails purported to be from employees of the Asia-based firm, the DOJ alleged, and were sent from email accounts designed to look like they had come from the company, but in fact had not. The DOJ also accused Mr Rimasauskas of forging invoices, contracts and letters "that falsely appeared to have been executed and signed by executives and agents of the victim companies". "We detected this fraud against our vendor management team and promptly alerted the authorities," a spokeswoman for Google said in a statement. "We recouped the funds and we're pleased this matter is resolved." However, the firm did not reveal how much money it had transferred and recouped. Nor did Facebook - but a spokeswoman said: "Facebook recovered the bulk of the funds shortly after the incident and has been cooperating with law enforcement in its investigation." "Sometimes staff [at large firms] think that they are defended, that security isn't part of their job," said James Maude at cyber-security firm Avecto, commenting on the phishing threat facing big companies. "But people are part of the best security you can have - that's why you have to train them." He also told the BBC that Avecto's clients have recounted phishing attempts that used senior staff's hacked email accounts to convince employees that a request to wire out money was genuine. The sophistication of phishing scams has increased lately, according to a recent Europol report. "CEO fraud" - in which executives are impersonated by the scammer - was a particular worry. "The request is usually time-sensitive and often coincides with the close of business hours to make verification of the request difficult," the report explained. "Such attacks often take advantage of publicly reported events such as mergers, where there may be some degree of internal flux and uncertainty." In order to avoid succumbing to such fraud, firms are advised to carefully verify new payment requests before authorising them. Media playback is not supported on this device On a sweaty, sticky night in the Bird's Nest, Bolt was out of the blocks quicker and opened up an unassailable lead over the first 100m before coming away down the straight and jabbing his thumbs at his chest as he crossed the line. His 19.55 seconds was the fastest in the world this year, his speed and peerless championship class too good for American Gatlin, whose 19.74 was well outside his season's best. Jamaican Bolt, who will also compete in the 4x100m relay, said: "It means a lot to me. Media playback is not supported on this device "I'm happy to be a 10-time World Championships gold medallist, especially when people have been saying I would lose. "I had the utmost confidence. As long as my coach is confident, I'm super confident. "The British people give me a lot of love and I will continue running fast." South Africa's Anaso Jobodwana set a national record of 19.87, with Panama's Alonso Edwards three thousands of a second behind in fourth. Britain's talented 20-year-old Zharnel Hughes, who trains with Bolt in Jamaica, ran a personal best of 20.02 for fifth in his first major final. But this was all about the man metres in front, his 10th world gold just another astonishing number in a career without parallel. For much of this season Bolt, 29, has been a struggling shadow of the man who has dominated both sprinting and his sport for the past seven years. Coming into these championships he had raced only one 200m all summer, and that a lacklustre 20.13 in May. Gatlin, twice banned for doping, had run more than two tenths of a second faster than any other man in the field this year, and almost half a second quicker than Bolt. Bolt had neither the times this summer nor the races, a pelvic injury restricting his season until just a month before these championships. But in the stadium where he smashed Michael Johnson's long-standing world record in winning Olympic 200m gold seven years ago, he was out of the blocks quicker than Gatlin. Media playback is not supported on this device With the American two lanes inside him, he was able to relax down the straight and celebrate as Gatlin trailed behind him once again. Gatlin went into Sunday's 100m final, part one of their showdown, as the dominant man in world sprinting. But, having cracked under the immense pressure of that first battle, he was once again unable to peak when he needed it most, and at 33 years old he may never have a better chance of beating his sport's superstar. Hughes, born in the British Dependent Territory of Anguilla, formally gained British citizenship in June this year and won the national trials in some style. And in his first major global championship he has improved throughout the rounds to confirm his potential for big finals ahead. He will have no better exemplar than Bolt, unstoppable here once again. Media playback is not supported on this device Great Britain's Zharnel Hughes, who finished fifth: "He is a legend. I even doubted him a bit but he knows what to do, so credit to him and congratulations to him." Multiple world champion Michael Johnson: "He is the best in the world and he does not have any rivals. We have to give him a lot of credit for running in the 100m and 200m - this is the most he has been challenged." Double Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes: "There are some people in this world who are super human. Bolt wins 200m." Former British sprinter Darren Campbell: "What Usain Bolt does for the sport is incredible. He's taken the sport to another level. Everywhere you go people know Usain Bolt." BBC Radio 5 live commentator Mike Costello: "Everybody runs in a sprint race at school and can relate to what he does when he runs fast, but he gives the crowd something to remember afterwards by turning it into a party, and that's why he will be missed so much when he goes." BBC TV commentator and former athlete Steve Cram: "Resurrecting a performance like that from a season he has had shows Usain Bolt is the greatest." Gordon Galloway, of Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, was acquitted after a trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court. The trial had heard he posted the words "death... plain and simple" under a story about Mr McGrory representing IRA members during his time as a solicitor. His defence lawyer said it was not a threat but a reply to another comment. Speaking after the case, Mr Galloway's lawyer added: "His position throughout was that he accepted he sent the message but that it was misunderstood and not a death threat. "The sheriff concluded in the end that she couldn't be satisfied that he'd meant to do that. "She found that he sent the message, and he never denied it, but he didn't intend it to be a death threat, it's been misinterpreted." He said the court case had put a "big strain" on his client. "It's a serious charge which could've had serious repercussions for him, so he was relieved at the end of it." Ian Workman, 58, from Turton, Lancashire was given a life sentence in 2011 for stabbing to death 55-year-old Susan Workman. In 2014, the High Court ruled that Workman's sister-in-law and sons should receive her divorce settlement instead. The Court of Appeal has now rejected Workman's attempt to halt this payment. Mrs Workman's sister, Carol Forrester, and his two sons, Nicholas and Benjamin Workman, claimed that he killed their mother to get out of paying her half his fortune. In law, someone who is criminally responsible for the death of another cannot benefit from the death and they claimed this should also apply to financial proceedings in divorce cases. In 2014, the High Court agreed that Workman should not be able to avoid paying the £1.5m award in his ex-wife's favour. Workman then applied to the Court of Appeal to challenge two orders - one required him to disclose his assets and stopped him from defending the value of the claim while the other rejected his bid for a re-listing of an application to "freeze" his assets. Dismissing both challenges, the Court of Appeal said there was a "persistent failure" by Workman to comply with the disclosure order. His "flagrant contempt" in failing to comply had the potential to frustrate the damages assessment and could not be ignored. Millionaire car dealer Workman was jailed for life in December 2011, with the judge recommending he served a minimum of 17 years. Preston Crown Court heard Workman stabbed his ex-wife of 35 years once in the chest as she typed an account of their rows on her laptop, including descriptions of his abusive behaviour. Cockerill spent almost 25 years with Leicester as player and coach, winning three Premiership titles as director of rugby, but was sacked three weeks ago. Cockerill will be with Toulon until the end of the Top 14 season. "It's very different and the polar opposite of Leicester in many ways," Cockerill, 46, told BBC Radio 5 live's Rugby Union Weekly podcast. The former Tigers hooker is working under new Toulon boss Mike Ford. "I've got a chance to win the Top 14 and with this side there's no reason why we can't win it," said Cockerill. Toulon's losing bonus point at Saracens on Sunday secured a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup, and an away trip to fellow French outfit Clermont Auvergne in the last eight. Cockerill says he is relishing the opportunity to work with Toulon's squad, which includes seasoned internationals like Juan Smith, Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe and Duane Vermeulen in the forward pack. "I'm going to enjoy it and put everything into it. It's a privilege to coach a side with the names on this team sheet, working with them day in, day out," Cockerill added. "I've coached against them and I have always thought it was a bit of an odd set-up. But now I am in the middle of it you sort of understand where they are coming from. "This group - rock stars as they are - you set them a task and they will work really hard. Talk common sense, make sure what you are talking about is relevant to playing and people will listen. Hopefully I'll do that." Cockerill has already been linked to a handful of jobs in the Premiership and the Pro 12 after the Top 14 season ends in May, but says after the end of the season his future is up in the air. "At this point I have no idea. There are a few options that I am in discussions with at the moment. After the next five months I don't know where I am at, but I am going to put everything into it."

The president-elect said the Japanese company would be hit with a "big border tax" if the plan went ahead. American car companies have faced harsh criticism from Mr Trump for building cars more cheaply outside the US. Toyota's President Akio Toyoda said the company had no immediate plans to curb production in Mexico. "We will consider our option as we see what policies the incoming president adopts," said Mr Toyoda, speaking in Japan on Thursday. The company's US arm issued a statement saying production and employment levels at Toyota in the US would not decrease as a result of the new plant in Mexico. The company has 10 manufacturing plants in the US. "Toyota looks forward to collaborating with the Trump Administration to serve in the best interests of consumers and the automotive industry," the statement said. The carmaker's shares fell more than 3% in early trade in Tokyo on Friday but have since recovered some ground. Japan's trade minister Hiroshige Seko, speaking at a regular news conference on Friday, said the new US administration needed to understand that his country's auto industry "has greatly contributed to the US economy". Mr Trump has already targeted American carmakers General Motors and Ford for manufacturing south of the border. Ford later cancelled its plans for a $1.6bn (£1.3bn) plant in Mexico and said it would expand operations in the US instead, but said this was due to market considerations. Currently there are no tariffs on goods passing between the US and Mexico, as the countries - and Canada - agreed to trade freely without tariffs under the Nafta trade pact more than 20 years ago. But Mr Trump has said he wants to renegotiate Nafta and has threatened to withdraw from it if he cannot get a better deal for the US. Toyota announced in April 2015 it would build a $1bn Corolla factory in central Mexico. Construction began in November 2016. It has existing manufacturing facilities in Baja, Mexico which were established in 2002. William Paterson, 35, denies repeatedly shooting and killing 29-year-old Mr Carroll outside Asda, in the city's Robroyston area, on 13 January 2010. He is also accused of fleeing to Spain in a bid to defeat the ends of justice. Mr Paterson appeared at the High Court in Livingston. The preliminary hearing was told a trial will start next month. On Tuesday, the DUP said Mr Smyth was endorsing their candidate Jonathan Bell and had signed his nomination papers. However, Mr Smyth said he told the DUP he had originally pledged his support to the UUP candidate Rodney McCune. He also said he only signed Mr Bell's nomination papers because he was told he could also sign Mr McCune's papers. In recent weeks, DUP and UUP candidates in South Belfast have sought the endorsement of Mr Smyth, who was the last unionist MP in the constituency. Mr Bell revealed on Tuesday that he had persuaded the former MP to sign his nomination papers. However, Mr Smyth said on Wednesday that he told Mr Bell he had pledged support to his UUP rival. Mr Smyth claimed that Mr Bell told him he could sign a number of nomination forms. He told the BBC he felt the DUP had misled him and he wanted them to withdraw his name. "I think that Jonathan Bell was trying a fast one - they would be wise withdrawing my name," he said. In response, the UUP candidate Rodney McCune said he believed the DUP had been opportunistic. "They are the party of political stunts and I suppose this is just another one. It just happens on this occasion it's backfired," he said. Mr Bell said Mr Smyth was not sure if he had signed an endorsement or nomination papers for Rodney McCune. He said the DUP took advice, in the end the wrong advice, that you could sign more than one set of papers as can be done in the assembly, Europe and local government "but in that sense it was an inaccuracy and we were wrong". "I will never ever say anything derogatory about the Rev Smyth," he added. Alliance Party candidate Paula Bradshaw said: "It's very embarrassing for the DUP. "I think they were trying to grab a few votes off the back of Martin Smyth's legacy and I think its backfired on them spectacularly." SDLP candidate and sitting South Belfast MP Alasdair McDonnell said "it makes no difference to me what Martin Smyth does". Sinn Féin, whose candidate is Máirtín Ó Muilleor, refused to comment. The other candidates so far are: Bob Stoker, UKIP; Lily Kerr of the Workers' Party; Ben Manton of the NI Conservatives and the Green Party's Claire Bailey. Saints took the lead when Petr Cech tipped a Dusan Tadic free-kick onto the underside of the bar but the ball bounced in off the Gunners keeper. Laurent Koscielny equalised with a spectacular overhead kick after Cazorla's corner was not cleared. The hosts toiled in attack but Cazorla won it for them after Jose Fonte was judged to have fouled Olivier Giroud. Media playback is not supported on this device The result was harsh on Southampton, who were well-organised at the back and dangerous when they broke forward. Saints remain winless under new manager Claude Puel, while Arsenal are five points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City, who beat Manchester United earlier on Saturday. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger gave debuts to both his recent signings, £35m centre-back Shkodran Mustafi and £17m forward Lucas Perez. A World Cup winner with Germany, Mustafi instantly looked comfortable in his new surroundings, having more touches (94) and playing more passes (86) than anyone else on the pitch, frequently stepping up into the Saints half when he was on the ball. But Spaniard Perez had a much quieter debut, failing to have a shot of any kind in the first half. His only effort at goal after the break was blocked and he was taken off after 63 mostly ineffective minutes. Wenger threw on Giroud, Alexis Sanchez and, eventually, Alex Iwobu too, but his side continued to struggle in front of goal until Fonte tangled with France striker Giroud and referee Robert Madley pointed to the spot. Media playback is not supported on this device Southampton are in the bottom three after failing to win any of their first four games of the season, but they were unfortunate not to pick up at least a point in north London. Shane Long was left on the bench until half-time but had three good chances in the second half. Long wasted his best chance when he fired well wide after Tadic's superb flick had left him with only Cech to beat. The Republic of Ireland striker also headed over the bar when unmarked from a free-kick and did not get enough on his follow-up shot after Cech had parried a Pierre Hojberg strike. Arsenal begin their Champions League campaign on Tuesday (19:45 BST kick-off), with a trip to play French champions Paris St-Germain, before another away game, at Hull, in the Premier League next Saturday (15:00 BST). Southampton are also on European duty, at home to Sparta Prague in the Europa League on Thursday (20:05 BST), before they host Swansea on Sunday (14:15 BST). Match ends, Arsenal 2, Southampton 1.

Messi hit a post and Barca were denied a penalty when Bruno handled a shot by the Argentina forward, before Messi's brilliant set-piece goal. Barca stay third in the table and trail leaders Real Madrid by five points. Villarreal, who remain fifth in La Liga, had full-back Jaume Costa sent off close to full-time after a second yellow card. Despite Messi's late heroics, this was a damaging result for Barcelona, who have played one more game than Real, in their first league game after the winter break. Luis Enrique is unlikely to remember his 150th game in charge of Barca for long, with his side sluggish for long periods. Luis Suarez and Neymar wasted good chances, while the visitors were caught out at the back as Villarreal scored after a slick counter. Barca were guilty of giving the ball away cheaply deep inside Villarreal's half before Pato's threaded pass found Sansone, who kept his composure to beat keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Suarez remains on 99 goals for Barca after a frustrating match in which he was presented with several chances to score the landmark goal. Villarreal were getting ready to celebrate a first win in nine years against their opponents when Messi, who had been fouled by Bruno, found the top corner with an exquisite finish to rescue a point. The result leaves Real Madrid, 5-0 winners over Granada on Saturday, with a clear advantage over their bitter rivals. Match ends, Villarreal 1, Barcelona 1.

The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) report says that more than a million such creatures have been killed in Japanese hunts in the past 70 years. It says that each year thousands are killed despite conservation concerns. The Japanese government has not commented on the report. But it has consistently defended its coastal whaling as a longstanding tradition, a source of livelihood and necessary for scientific research. The government has also argued that small cetaceans should be excluded from the International Convention on Whaling. The BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes in Tokyo says that the Japanese practice of driving many dolphins and porpoises onto beaches to be slaughtered has drawn international condemnation. The EIA says that it is also unsustainable, and a danger to human health. Studies have found high levels of mercury and industrial chemicals like PCBs in dolphin and porpoise meat. One study found people living in one dolphin-eating community in central Japan have mercury levels five times higher than normal. "A comprehensive analysis of the available scientific data demonstrates unequivocally that there are grave concerns regarding the sustainability of these hunts," the EIA report says. It goes on to accuse the government of "displaying a lack of responsibility" in ensuring the sustainability of small cetacean populations in Japanese waters - warning that its annual quota of 16,000 dolphins is far too high. The EIA says that the quota is based on 20-year-old data and that dolphin populations are much lower now. The conservation status of each species varies, the report says, depending on its range and hunting practices. Catch limits for Dall's porpoises are 4.7-4.8 times higher than the safe threshold, it claims. For the striped dolphin, once the mainstay of the industry but now endangered and disappearing from some areas, catches have dropped from more than 1,800 in the 1980s to about 100 today. Our correspondent says that anyone who has seen the documentary The Cove will know how controversial Japan's annual dolphin hunt can be. Hundreds of animals are driven into a bay where men jump into the water and cut their throats, turning the sea red. Polish-born Stanislaw Merdacz, 38, admitted raping the 40-year-old in Paisley, Renfrewshire, last November, and punching her repeatedly. After the brutal attack, Merdacz - who will be sentenced next month - gave his victim a hug and asked if she was "ok". The High Court in Glasgow heard that a nearby householder found the woman crying on her doorstep. Merdacz, who has a wife and daughter in Poland, was caught following a large-scale investigation, and his DNA was also found on the victim. He initially told police: "I don't know nothing. I don't know what's happened. I have nothing to hide." The court heard that Merdacz, who worked at a recycling plant, had been out with a colleague on 26 November last year, visiting a number of bars in Paisley but was thrown out of one for trying to dance with a number of women in a "provocative manner". In the early hours he was seen lurking in a doorway and followed his victim through a number of streets before attacking her in a grassed area in Mosslands Road. Prosecutor Bernard Ablett said a hooded Merdacz "rugby tackled" the woman before punching her in the face. She tried to shout for help but Merdacz slapped his hand over her mouth and nose. He then raped her. Mr Ablett told the court: "She believed that she was going to die and started to cry." He continued the attack with the mother believing she was punched up to five times. Merdacz then took the woman's bracelet and watch, before handing them back. Mr Ablett said: "He picked up her shoes which had fallen off and assisted her in putting them back on. "He also pointed to her phone on the grass and told her not to forget it. "Merdacz then hugged the woman telling her: 'I love you'. He patted her on the shoulder asking: 'ok, ok?'." He then ran off. The victim ran to a nearby house after spotting the lights were on. She was found by the resident and told her: "Sorry, I did not know where to go. I've been raped. I'm sorry." She was described as "breaking her heart crying". The court was told that Merdacz, from Gallowhill, Paisley, had been due to return to Poland on 22 December - just three weeks after the date of his crime. He originally arrived in the UK in January last year. The court heard that the victim now suffered from anxiety and depression and had not worked since the attack. Judge Lord Burns deferred sentencing until next month for reports. Some are concerned leaving the EU could have a "massive effect" on Britain's ability to produce food. But others see it as a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to change the industry for the better. Two Welsh farmers told BBC's Panorama why they hold opposing views about their prospects outside the EU. "I think one of the main reasons I voted to leave the EU is because I'm a young farmer and I'm looking to the future," said Jacob Anthony. The 24-year-old, from Bridgend, who runs a beef and lamb farm, works alongside his father and grandfather. "I think a lot of us in the industry were not happy with the way the sector was going and I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for realistic change," he added. Mr Anthony insists Europe-wide decisions about farming just do not work. "At the moment, there's one agricultural policy that's meant to fit all 28 nations that are in the EU," he said. "That agricultural policy was meant to fit countries farming reindeer in the Arctic Circle all the way down to farmers in the Mediterranean farming olives." He believes British people are "subsidising foreign counties" and improving their farming to help them "become competitors". Mr Anthony is also keen to send his livestock to new markets, such as China. "I feel that, by leaving the EU now, it gives us a chance to have a head start - negotiate other trade links with emerging markets. "Let's infiltrate them now and negotiate with them new trade deals that we haven't been able to whilst we've been a part of the European Union." But it is a different story in Merthyr Cynog, near Brecon. John Davies, runs a family business stretching back more than a century and he is less optimistic about life outside the EU. "I have a responsibility to the next generation. We didn't inherit this from the last generation, we are just caretakers for the next," he said. Mr Davies works alongside his wife, two children and his 87-year-old father, who all help with the farm's hundreds of ewes. He voted Remain and sees a great deal of peril for farmers in the event of a careless or ill-conceived Brexit deal. "Brexit could have a massive effect on our food producing ability in this nation, that's a key strategic decision to make," he said. He said continued subsidies were vital, particularly for the survival of hill farming. Environment Secretary Michael Gove has pledged to maintain current subsidy levels until at least 2022 but Mr Davies has other concerns. "Trade is so important to sheep farmers because nearly 40% of our lambs are exported - and of those, nearly all - 95% - goes to the EU. "We need unfettered and free access to the European Market for what we produce. "We need those standards to be equivalent for any products coming in." He fears, without those standards, cheap, mass-produced beef from international competitors could drive him to the wall. "I'm really scared of imports, produced to completely different standards, hormones, you know, feed-lot beef etc, you know, we're based on pasture, green pleasant land, high environmental standards, [we're] really proud of that," he said. But Mr Davies knows pride alone cannot support farming in Wales. He thinks the industry needs an agricultural policy which echoes the wartime push to grow the food we eat. With the European Union ingrained in British food and farming, Brexit could change the face of the British countryside and the fate of British farmers. The jury is still out as to how. Travis Frain was "hit head-on" by a car on Westminster Bridge as the attack began on Wednesday, suffering multiple fractures to his hand and leg. Prince Charles paid a visit to the 19-year-old from Lancashire, who is recovering in King's College Hospital. The Edge Hill University undergraduate posted a picture on Facebook showing the prince at his bedside. When a friend jokingly suggested he "could have dressed up" for his visitor, Mr Frain replied: "I do what I can, with what I've got hahah." Mr Frain had been visiting the Palace of Westminster with 13 other students and a lecturer to watch Prime Minister's Questions. He was walking across Westminster Bridge when he was mown down by attacker Khalid Masood's car. Angela Frain, from Darwen, said her son escaped with his life after going over the bonnet of the car as the attack began. Seconds later, the politics student, who wants to become an MP, called his mother to say: "Mum I'm safe... I know you will be worrying." He needed an operation on his leg, doctors said. He also suffered deep cuts and minor whiplash, but said: "At the end of the day, it could have been a hell of a lot worse." Another student, 18-year-old Owen Lambert, needed stitches to a head wound, while two others received treatment for lesser injuries. Four people died and 50 people were injured in the attack, with 31 receiving hospital treatment. Attacker Khalid Masood, 52, drove his car on to the pavement and into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, before crashing the vehicle into railings and running into the grounds of Parliament. He was armed with a knife and fatally stabbed PC Keith Palmer, before being shot dead by police. Police have made 11 arrests and 10 people are still being questioned.

Stephen Hunt, 38, of Bury, died tacking a blaze at Paul's Hair World in Oldham Street, Manchester in July 2013. The Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) report, which will be shared with other fire services, said they must learn lessons from his death. It added policy change must ensure that learning "becomes second nature". An inquest in May concluded Mr Hunt, who entered the building equipped with breathing apparatus but with virtually no ability to see, was unlawfully killed. After a review of the inquest's findings, Greater Manchester Police said "no further action" would be taken citing accidental ignition could not be ruled out. The report, which follows both the inquest and police investigation, was compiled "to provide a summary" of what happened during the fire. It made several recommendations, including a suggestion that more needed to be done to spot signs of physiological deterioration in officers using breathing apparatus and issues around the loss of communications during an operation must be addressed. Mr Hunt's mother and stepfather Susan and Wilf Veevers said while they could not bring Stephen back, "we can try and ensure this never happens again". "That will be a fitting legacy for our beloved son," they said. David Acton, chairman of Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Authority, said the report was "hugely important". He added everyone at GMFRS "remains utterly devastated at his death". Japanese fashion brand Uniqlo has installed a vending machine dispensing clothing at Oakland Airport in California. Nine other machines will pop up at airports and malls at sites including Los Angeles, Houston and New York in the coming months. They will stock men and women's shirts and lightweight jackets. Uniqlo USA chief executive Hiroshi Taki said the technology brought "convenience to travellers looking for a warm jacket without the bulk or a versatile undershirt". The company hopes the gimmick will help entice customers to the Asian brand, which has struggled in its attempts to penetrate the US market. Airports and malls were selected as high-traffic locations to supplement its 45 stores in the country. The retailer, owned by Japan's Fast Retailing, has close to 1,900 stores worldwide selling inexpensive casual wear. The vending machines will stock tops retailing at about $15 (£11.30) and lightweight jackets for about $70 (£53). Fast Retailing is the world's third largest retail apparel company and also owns Helmut Lang and J Brand. There are no plans to use the vending machines outside the US. UN West Africa envoy Mohamed Ibn Chambas said the military could face sanctions if they refused. Meanwhile, thousands of people are gathering in the capital Ouagadougou to rally against the military takeover. Days of protests forced President Blaise Compaore to step down on 31 October and flee to Ivory Coast. Mr Compaore's attempt to extend his time in office was the immediate trigger for the protests. But analysts say high prices, low wages and persistent poverty have fuelled wider discontent, particularly among younger Burkinabes. The military takeover has infuriated opposition groups, who called a mass rally on Sunday against the army's "confiscation" of the uprising. "The victory born from this popular uprising belongs to the people, and the task of managing the transition falls by right to the people," the groups said in a statement. By early afternoon, thousands had turned out to protest in Ouagadougou's National Square, where one million had gathered earlier in the week to demand Mr Compaore's resignation. On a makeshift stage in front of the crowd, one protester shouted into a microphone: "We are going to stay here. We are not going to move unless the military leave power." Other protesters accused the military of being in league with Mr Compaore. Elsewhere in Ouagadougou, witnesses reported hearing gunfire at the headquarters of state TV. An unconfirmed report by the AFP news agency claimed that soldiers fired in the air to disperse protesters before seizing control of the building. Meanwhile, the AU, UN, the US and regional economic bloc Ecowas all condemned the military takeover. "We hope there will be a transition led by a civilian and in keeping with the constitutional order," Mr Chambas said. "If not, the consequences are pretty clear. We want to avoid having to impose sanctions on Burkina Faso." AU chief Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma urged the military to "refrain from any acts or statements that may lead to further instability". The US state department urged an immediate transfer of power to civilian authorities and a move towards free and fair presidential elections. The army has quickly stepped in to fill the power vacuum, declaring Lt Col Isaac Zida the nation's transitional leader. Col Zida was second-in-command of the presidential guard, and his selection apparently came after a power struggle with the overall army chief, Gen Honore Traore. Under Burkina Faso's constitution, the president of the Senate should take over after the national president resigns and election should take place between 60 and 90 days afterwards. Northamptonshire fire crews attended 2,741 false fire alarms in 2008-09, Last year, this number dropped to 969 - a "fantastic" achievement, according to Northamptonshire County Council. But the fall is the result of a policy change - labelled "concerning" by the Labour opposition - in which crews no longer attend all alarms. The unwanted fire alarms happen when an automatic fire detection system is activated even though a fire has not occurred. Following the policy change, crews in Northamptonshire only respond to automated fire alarms without a fire having to be confirmed first in domestic properties, where there is a sleeping risk such as in care homes, hospitals at night, when sprinklers have been activated or in premises deemed at "special risk". Fire alarms in all other premises such as offices, shops, factories and public buildings only get a response if a fire is confirmed. Labour county councillor Mick Scrimshaw said: "I still run a small business and so am very concerned, as I am with the cuts in service in general within the fire service." But André Gonzalez de Savage, Conservative-controlled Northamptonshire County Council's cabinet member for public protection, said: "Unwanted fire signals used to account for about 30% of all incidents Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service attended and these unnecessary call-outs have a serious impact as they divert firefighters from genuine emergencies. "The fire service has done a fantastic job in reducing the number of unwanted fire signals to below 1,000 a year for the first time ever and this leaves our firefighters free to respond to genuine, potentially life-saving incidents." Pedro Quezada, 44, a grocery shop-owner of Passaic, New Jersey, told a news conference he had not yet made any decisions on how to spend the money. The father of five had his Powerball ticket validated on Monday in the local liquor store where he bought it. The prize from Saturday's draw is the fourth-largest in Powerball history. Lottery officials said Mr Quezada, who has been in the US for 26 years, had chosen the lump-sum option, meaning it would be worth $221m, or about $152m after taxes. In a press conference on Tuesday at New Jersey's lottery headquarters, he recalled the moment he realised he had won: "I felt pure joy, just happiness." He was joined by his wife, Ines Sanchez, his four brothers, and two nephews, answering questions in Spanish with a translator by his side. Mr Quezada said he did not plan to resume working long days at the family convenience store. He stepped back last year and his son now runs the bodega. "It's hard," said the lottery winner. "Imagine having to wake up every morning at 5am to then close my store at 11pm. It's very difficult." Mr Quezada's son, Casiano, said on Tuesday from behind the counter of the family store, the Apple Deli Grocery: "I know he's going to do something good with the money." Neighbours told The Record newspaper that the Quezada family had suffered bad luck in recent years, including a home burglary and a fire in their store. Media playback is not supported on this device But Warren Gatland's team had an uncomfortable hour before tries from Jamie Roberts and George North lifted the siege. Scotland led 13-10 after Tommy Seymour's try cancelled out Gareth Davies's early touchdown. Duncan Taylor's late try was little more than a consolation for the Scots, who have not won in Cardiff since 2002. Media playback is not supported on this device Dan Biggar kicked 12 points for Wales and Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw was also perfect from the tee. After the stolid fare on offer in Paris where France beat Ireland, this game served up an antidote with Scotland asking tough questions of the home team. But for all their endeavour, Scotland were unable to make their territory and dominance pay and once Tom James' 80-yard break broke the shackles, Wales killed the game off in a clinical seven-minute spell. Wales started furiously and were ahead in the seventh minute when Biggar's chip was knocked back by Roberts, and Davies snapped up the bouncing ball to sprint in for his sixth try in 11 Tests. Replays suggested the scrum-half might have been offside, but far from being overwhelmed the Scots hit back in style. Their number nine Laidlaw sniped and Finn Russell's chip was allowed to bounce before Seymour pounced to score. The Glasgow wing was also a key figure as the Scots won the aerial battle in the face of Wales' muscle. And their half-time lead could have been greater if John Barclay, breaking from deep in his own half, had spotted the supporting Stuart Hogg on his inside instead of kicking ahead and into touch. Biggar and Laidlaw exchanged penalties after the break, before an 80-yard James break eased the pressure, and could have brought more had it not been for Taylor's superb covering tackle. But the incident swung the momentum in Wales' favour and after a series of attacking scrums it was Roberts who blasted his way over from short range just after the hour. Within minutes North cut an angle to beat five men as he raced in from 40 yards past some tired looking defenders. Wales looked comfortable in the dying stages until Taylor's 79th-minute try meant they had to survive a re-start with a four point lead. Many in Wales thought Roberts should have taken the award in Dublin and the Harlequins centre was to the fore again against Scotland, scoring a try, making 11 tackles and winning a turnover. There were also strong Scottish contenders in Seymour and Laidlaw. It is the return of Friday night rugby for Wales when France come to the Principality Stadium on 26 February with Gatland's team looking for a fifth consecutive win against Les Bleus. For Scotland, it's Sergio Parisse's Italy in Rome on 27 February and a chance to avenge last season's 22-19 defeat in Edinburgh.

Referee: George Clancy (IRFU) The photogenic 24-year-old Dane is using a day off in the run up to Wimbledon to promote her newest commercial partner, Belgian chocolatier Godiva, and specifically the launch of their tennis-themed Sweet Caroline chocolate. In front of selected guests in London she tries her hand at some intricate design work, but despite expert hand-eye co-ordination on court she is finding this an altogether trickier task. "I love having input into the chocolates and spending a day with the team working it all out," she says cheerily, before taking time to pose for pictures and chat with the awe-struck guests. That unaffected air explains her popularity with tennis fans (she has 1.35 million Facebook likes and 870,000 twitter followers), and also makes her a marketing man's dream. Indeed Godiva says it believes this partnership will be a fruitful one, not only because of her playing skills, but also her "appeal well beyond the tennis court". According to Forbes Wozniacki made close to $11m (£6.9m) in 2014, with endorsements making up 85% of that total. Meanwhile, her total career earnings from prize money alone stands at $20m, with $600, 000 won so far this year. The former world number one has major deals with global brands like Adidas, Babolat, Rolex, Sony Ericsson, Lavazza, and others including Dubai Duty Free, US vitamin firm Usana and Danish company E-Boks. Her Adidas deal is reputed to be one of the most lucrative in sport, and she wears tennis kit specially designed for the German firm by Stella McCartney. She says that she only works with companies that she feels comfortable with, rather than concentrating just on the financial bottom line. "I think carefully about what sort of deals I do. I like to be an ambassador for brands that I believe in, and that are a good fit for me as a person. That is why I am happy with this latest association - it is fun for me," she says. "I am a tennis player first, and all of this - the commercial partnerships, would not be possible without the work on court. Things like this, it is my day off. My partners are very good about giving me the time I need for my tennis, and working around that." Born in Odense, Denmark, on 11 July 1990 to Polish parents Mother a volleyball player and father a footballer Began playing tennis aged seven Speaks eight languages and is fluent in Danish, Polish and English Owns a Pomeranian dog Bruno - "a guy who understands me" Was in relationship with golfer Rory McIlroy from 2011 to 2014 Wozniacki first broke into the Women's Tennis Association rankings in 2006, when she was just 16, having turned professional a year earlier. She ended 2010 and 2011 as the number one player in the world, and has picked up 23 WTA titles in her career. But she is still looking for a first, elusive, major title, having been twice runner-up in the US Open final, in 2009 and 2014. And she insists that her impressive financial record of prize money and endorsements come second to success on court. "I am a tennis player, I don't play for the money, I play for the game and the passion and the crowd and the fans," she says. "When I started money never entered the equation, without a doubt I play for the game." Off court she counts Serena Williams among her friends and also spends spare time relaxing with family, watching TV, adding that "I appreciate and value my time to wind down". Other outside interests also include football - her father was a professional player - and she supports English Premier League team Liverpool. In 2011 she played in the Qatar Open in a signed Liverpool shirt given to her by club legend Steven Gerrard. "I want to be positive about next season, but it is sad that Steven Gerrard will no longer be there," she says about the Anfield club's prospects next season. Wozniacki says she has "a few more business ideas in the pipeline, but I can't say too much about them just now". She adds: "Another thing I would like to do is a TV, I would like to present a programme or a TV series, that would be exciting. It could be a talent show, anything that was fun to do." This week she is playing in the Aegon International tournament at Eastbourne as part of her preparation for Wimbledon. And she is confident of putting on a good show at SW19, despite having yet to progress beyond the fourth round, which she has reached four times including 2014. "I always believe I have got a good chance," she says. "Whenever I go into a tournament I want to win it." The Godiva partnership famously came about after she told a US newspaper that she wanted to have a chocolate deal, and the enterprising Belgian company asked her if she would like to work with them. So is there any other commercial category where she would welcome a sponsorship partner? She laughs: "I would like an automotive partner, that would be awesome. as that is one of the categories I don't have." Mr Obama, speaking to Spanish-language correspondents in Washington, said Cuba remained a "throwback" to the 1960s. Cuba, under a US economic embargo for nearly five decades, has this year moved towards some economic opening. Asked about Mexico's drugs conflict, Mr Obama said President Felipe Calderon was right to take on the cartels. President Obama said the Cuban authorities had indicated they wanted to make changes to allow businesses to operate more freely. But, he said, there was no evidence that they had been sufficiently aggressive in doing this. "And they certainly have not been aggressive enough when it comes to liberating political prisoners and giving people the opportunity to speak their minds", Mr Obama said. Cuban President Raul Castro has been introducing some changes including allowing Cubans to work for themselves. The Cuban government this year also freed the last of 75 dissidents jailed during a crackdown on dissent in 2003. But Mr Obama put the situation in Cuba in the wider international context. "You are seeing enormous changes taking place in the Middle East just in the span of six months, you are seeing there are almost no authoritarian communist countries left in the world, and here you have this small island that is a throwback to the 60s." President Obama has moved to ease restrictions on Cuban-Americans travelling to the island but a gradual thaw in ties has been disrupted by the imprisonment of a US contractor. The US has repeatedly demanded the release of Alan Gross, who is serving a 15-year jail sentence for bringing illegal satellite equipment into Cuba. For its part, Havana regularly calls for five Cubans jailed for spying in Florida to be released. In the interview, President Obama rejected the argument that Mexico should try to find some kind of accommodation with drug gangs as a way of ending the bloodshed. "I don't think Mexican people want to live in a society where drug kingpins are considered to be some of the more powerful individuals in society," Mr Obama said. Peace could not be achieved by negotiating with people without scruples or respect for human life, Mr Obama said. In his view, President Calderon had taken a courageous decision to tackle the cartels. "I believe that, as difficult as this time is, ultimately Mexico will be stronger if it does not give in," Mr Obama said. Some 40,000 people have died in drug-related violence since Mr Calderon began deploying troops against the drug gangs in late 2006. Renewable energy developer Empowering Wind Group, was granted planning permission in 2008 to build a 136m-tall turbine at the ground. But the airport blocked the development after claiming there was an issue with "air safety". The company said it was now pursuing litigation against the airport. Middlesbrough Council approved planning permission for the turbine in 2008. Following the decision, Durham Tees Valley Airport claimed there was an issue with "air safety" and "degradation to the radar service". However, after an investigation by the Civil Aviation Authority, it was deemed Empowering Wind Group did not need approval from the airport and said the turbine would not compromise passenger safety. Chief executive Paul Millinder said the company was taking legal action after it lost 30% of the tariff the company was going to get for the electricity it generated. A statement from Durham Tees Valley Airport said: "We are awaiting a letter from Middlesbrough Council, which will explain the rationale behind this decision. "We have no further comment to make at this stage." The Championship club said the turbine would provide power for 20 years. The stadium will be the first sports venue in Europe to become self-sustainable. The turbine, which will be installed in the car park, is expected to be built by the end of May. Up to 200,000 people are expected to line the streets to congratulate about 350 athletes on their success in Rio. The parade will begin outside the Museum of Science and Industry at 16:30 BST before moving through Manchester. The event will be broadcast live on BBC One from 16:15 BST, with a highlights show at 20:30pm. Team GB and Paralympic GB won a combined 214 medals in Rio this summer, coming second in both the Olympic and Paralympic medal tables. The parade begins at the Museum of Science and Industry and will go down Liverpool Road before quickly turning on to Deansgate. It will then continue through the city centre, before ending in Albert Square with an event at 17:30 BST. For more information visit the Manchester City Council website. About 350 of GB's Olympic and Paralympic athletes will be present, including the likes of recently retired heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill, boxer Nicola Adams, triathletes Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, gymnast Max Whitlock, swimmer Ellie Simmonds, the women's hockey team and many more. One man who will not be attending is Britain's most successful ever Olympian Sir Bradley Wiggins, although he has not been present at any such event since 2004. Mo Farah will also be absent, while Jason Kenny and Laura Trott are on honeymoon. The forecast suggests there could be some rain during the parade - so pack a brolly. Prime Minister Theresa May said: "It will be a celebration fit for heroes - and rightly so, because that is exactly what they are." Tracey Crouch, the Sports Minister, urged the public to turn out for the two-day celebrations - the athletes will head to London for an event in Trafalgar Square on Tuesday. She said: "Our Olympic and Paralympic heroes have made the nation proud. Now is the time for the public to come out on to the streets of Manchester and London to show their appreciation." Manchester Council deputy leader Sue Murphy said the city "will be sure to show our athletes the meaning of celebration". "Manchester has been a medal factory, pumping out golds as the home of British cycling and British Taekwondo," she added. Thurso-based O'Brien Construction will construct the £1.9m building at Forsinard in Sutherland for the Peatlands Partnership. The partnership involves several organisations including RSPB Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage. Conservation workers and university groups will use the field centre. Designed by Colin Armstrong Associates in Inverness, the building was given planning consent by Highland Council's north planning applications committee. It is being built on land owned by RSPB Scotland between the existing railway line and the A897. Striker Rooney, 30, was left out of Jose Mourinho's starting line-up for the 4-1 win over Leicester on Saturday. Asked if Rooney appeared down when he was told, Smalling replied: "No." The England centre-back added: "He was the same before the game when we were all getting ready. He is often one of the most vocal and he was the same." Saturday was the first time Mourinho had dropped Rooney since he took charge of the Red Devils in the summer. Smalling, 26, said the England captain acted in the same manner whether he was in the team or on the bench. "Whatever the situation is, whatever game, whether he is on the bench or playing or whatever, he is always that same type of character and that's why he is England's main man and our main man," he said. Rooney is just four goals short of his 250th for the club, which would overtake the 249 hit by record goalscorer Sir Bobby Charlton - and Smalling does not think it will be long before he returns. The former Fulham player said: "He's a very experienced guy and he's played that many games that I think it'll only be a matter of time before he's back in there and firing again because he's quality." Smalling headed home the opening goal in United's victory over Leicester, with Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba also scoring. Asked about Rooney after the game, Mourinho said: "He's my man, I trust him completely. He's as happy as I am at this moment. "He's a big player for me, for United, a big player for this country." Media playback is not supported on this device BBC Sport's Simon Stone "There is no great disconnect between Wayne Rooney and club or manager, as there was in 2013, when Rooney sat in an executive box and watched Sir Alex Ferguson's final Old Trafford game as Manchester United manager behind glass. "Rooney politely applauded back when he was sent out to warm up for the first time, and the home fans' reception was enthusiastic when he ran on to the field after replacing Rashford near the end. "It won't stop the chatter around Rooney though. His United future is on the line. "What we don't know yet is whether England's captain is surplus to requirements permanently."

The crew and a passenger, who was a trained nurse, helped deliver the baby at 35,000 feet (10,688 metres) after a woman went into premature labour. The mother and the baby were taken to a hospital after the Boeing 737 landed in the western city of Mumbai. The airline told the BBC that both baby and mother were in good health. The company thanked its crew and nurse Mini Wilson for "the successful birth of the baby boy". Cabin crew help woman give birth Plane birth sparks Taiwan controversy "Jet Airways commends its crew for their response and promptness that saw them successfully translate their training into life saving action," it said in a statement. The airlines added that it was the first time "a baby was born in-flight for the airline". Other airlines have also experienced similar situations. The cabin crew on a Turkish Airlines flight celebrated the arrival of an extra passenger at 42,000ft (12,800 metres) when a woman gave birth to a baby girl in April this year. Most airlines allow expectant mothers to travel until they are 36 weeks pregnant, but require a signed letter from a doctor from 28 weeks onwards which confirms the expected date of birth. Some say it could inspire confidence while others voiced privacy concerns. The $200 (£154) gadget, not yet on sale, features a camera to capture full-length selfies and video which can be stored to create a personal "look book". It uses smart assistant Alexa to give a verdict on outfit choices and recommend clothes to buy. It is listed as available "by invitation only" on the Amazon website and is aimed at the US market only. "With this data, Amazon won't be able to just sell you clothes or judge you. It could analyze (sic) if you're depressed or pregnant and much else," tweeted Zeynap Tufekci, assistant professor at the University of North Carolina. "Not just a privacy disaster; people don't understand what algorithms can infer from pictures. You are disclosing a lot of health info, too." Amazon said that it would not share any personal information with advertisers or third party websites. But Fiona Blake, who runs a closed Facebook page where hundreds of women share photos of their outfits and offer each other supportive fashion advice, said she thought the Echo Look sounded like a good idea. "People struggle with looking in the mirror and taking photographs of themselves," she said. "This is brilliant daily inspiration. You could flick through your own personal Pinterest board [of outfit choices] - that is key for getting up, getting dressed and getting out there. "I'm happy for someone to recommend something. I can't get to every high street shop. I don't mind being sold to but I know a lot of people don't like that approach." Professional stylist Donna McCulloch, from Sulky Doll stylists, said people should not rely on an app to tell them what to wear. "If you are unsure about an outfit, then trust your own gut instinct and try a different look instead," she said. Ben Wood, analyst at CCS Insight, said the Echo Look may not appeal to all ages. "For younger people that happily share regular moments of their life via SnapChat and Instagram, the general response has been positive with the main limitation being the price," he told the BBC. "However, for a slightly older audience it either seems completely unnecessary (I already have a full length mirror) or is regarded as a considerable privacy concern - particularly in the context of a device that it makes sense to have in a bedroom. "It underlines Amazon's ambitions for its growing range of Alexa-powered Echo products. The Echo Look helps extend its reach into other parts of people's homes and also in the dramatically different product categories orientated around fashion." Teacher Gwen Mayor and 16 of her pupils were killed when Thomas Hamilton opened fire on them on 13 March 1996. Rev Colin Renwick, who will lead tributes at Dunblane Cathedral, said there had not been a day since when those lost had not been remembered. Ch Insp Paul Rollo said people would also "celebrate the vibrant community which had overcome" the tragedy. The killings in the town, which is near Stirling, shocked the nation and led to the UK enforcing some of the strictest firearms legislation in the world. Assistant Chief Constable Kate Thomson said: "Much has changed in 20 years but the shock and sadness is still felt by people throughout Scotland and further afield, including police officers who served in Central Scotland Police and elsewhere at the time, and those who have joined the service since. "We wish to extend our sympathies to the families and friends of those who died, and those involved in the tragic events of 1996 in Dunblane, at this time of remembrance." Rev Renwick said: "Since that day, people have appreciated the support and prayers of others throughout the world, but have also valued being allowed the space to grieve and rebuild with privacy and dignity, with as little media scrutiny as possible. "During these various services, there will be an opportunity for those who gather to remember and to pray for continuing strength and peace." Monsignor Basil O'Sullivan will mark the anniversary in the Holy Family church in Dunblane. He was parish priest at the time of the shooting and told the Scottish Catholic Observer: "As we have every year without fail, we're having an anniversary Mass. "We pray for the injured, we pray for the bereaved and those who still suffer every day." Survivors and relatives have also been reflecting on the impact of the shooting on their lives and on the country as a whole. Mick North, whose five-year-old daughter Sophie was killed, said the positive legacy should not be forgotten - that people are safer from gun crime than they were 20 years ago. He said: "In many respects, the day of the forthcoming anniversary won't be especially different - any day from the last 20 years was one for memories. "The importance of the 20th anniversary is as an occasion when others can recall and reflect on a horrific event, and also a time when those too young to remember might learn about what happened and consider its significance." Alison Ross, sister of five-year-old victim Joanna Ross, wants people to see the positive life in Dunblane today. She told a BBC Scotland documentary: "It needs to be remembered so that everyone's aware that we are still here, we are still getting on with our lives and we didn't just fade into the background either. "We still had to power on and push on with our lives, and it's important that everyone knows we're doing it, and doing it well." The American, seeking to equal Steffi Graf's Open-era record of 22 Grand Slam titles, has also been struggling with a knee injury in the build-up. But the 33-year-old world number one came through a testing match unscathed. Sixth seed Petra Kvitova beat Luksika Kumkhum 6-3 6-1 on a scorching day. The two-time Wimbledon champion has also had problems, with a stomach virus forcing her out of two warm-up events. "I'm very pleased how I played and how I handled the nerves and everything else," said the Czech. "I had an interrupted lead-up and lost some weight but I'm feeling much better now." Italy's Sara Errani, the 17th seed, had injury problems during her match and became the first women's seed knocked out, losing 1-6 7-5 6-1 to 21-year-old Russian Margarita Gasparyan. Media playback is not supported on this device The middleweight, 25, from Liverpool won a unanimous points decision against German opponent Xhek Paskali. Fellow Britons Galal Yafai, Nicola Adams, Qais Ashfaq, Muhammad Ali, Joe Cordina, Josh Buatsi, Lawrence Okolie and Joe Joyce have also qualified. Yafai, Ali and Buatsi added gold medals to their Rio qualification. Birmingham's Yafai, 23, beat Armenia's Artur Hovhannisyan in the light-flyweight final, Keighley's 19-year-old flyweight Ali saw off another Armenian, Narek Abgaryan, and 23-year-old Londoner Buatsi beat number one light heavyweight seed Peter Mullenberg from the Netherlands. Ashfaq had to settle for silver in his bantamweight final against Azerbaijan's former world champion Javid Chalabiyev, the 23-year-old from Leeds losing by a unanimous points decision. After the event in Samsun, male boxers have two more chances to qualify - at the World Series of Boxing event in Bulgaria in May and the final Olympic qualifying event in Azerbaijan in June. The women have one more chance - at the World Championships in Kazakhstan in May. Media playback is not supported on this device Payne, 27, who needed a top-10 finish to qualify for Rio, clocked one hour 58 minutes and 58.53 seconds in Kazan. Aurelie Muller of France finished 49.3 secs faster to take gold, ahead of Dutchwoman Sharon Van Rouwendaal and Brazil's Ana Chunha, who was third. "It's not the result I wanted, but it's not the end," Payne told BBC Sport. The two-time world champion and team-mate Danielle Huskisson, who was 35th, will have a second opportunity to qualify for Rio at the Olympic qualification event in Portugal in June next year. Fellow Briton Jack Burnell secured his place in Rio by finishing fifth in the men's event on Monday. Payne, the 2008 Beijing Olympic silver medallist, had been undecided about whether to continue in the sport after finishing fourth at London 2012. "I've only been back in full-time training for a year and maybe I've raced too much or too little," she told BBC Sport. "I'm technically old at 27 in the sport, but am still learning and trying out new things all of the time so I think there's a lot to build on from here." Huskisson will battle Payne for the sole position Britain can now attain for the women's 10km race at the Rio Olympics and believes officials can do more to ensure fairer competition. "Most of the girls seem to think it's rugby rather than open water swimming," said Huskisson, who received a yellow card whilst trying to maintain position. "There are definitely favoured swimmers, but there's nothing you can do but go out and swim as hard as you can, which I'll continue to do." Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom has published an intriguing official correction to her speech during a debate on plans for a tidal lagoon in Swansea. Ms Leadsom was last week challenged by MPs about the UK government's review (by committee) of the project. She told them she was "quite sure that there will be someone from Wales on it". Now she has replaced that commitment with: "We will ensure that Welsh interests are represented within the review." Shadow Welsh Secretary Nia Griffith smelt a rat: "It's bad enough that the UK government has seen fit to kick this project into the long grass, but today's admission by the energy minister that there won't even be anyone from Wales on the review panel just adds insult to injury. "This raises the very real prospect of a Whitehall stitch-up by the UK government to ensure that this vitally important infrastructure project does not now go ahead." The timing, on the eve of the Budget, appears to be no coincidence and MPs expect the chair of the review to be named by George Osborne shortly. This is the full text of the correction: "An error has been identified in the statement Minister of State for Energy Andrea Leadsom made as part of the Westminster Hall debate on Swansea tidal lagoon on Tuesday 8 March 2016. The Minister stated: 'As I say, the make-up of the committee is being discussed right now, and I will certainly take that point away. I am quite sure that there will be someone from Wales on it, but I cannot say for certain because we have not got the names of individual members yet. I am grateful to the hon. lady for making that point.' What the Minister meant to say is: 'As I say, we are discussing right now the details of the review. We intend that the review will be led by an independent reviewer, supported by a secretariat of civil servants seconded into the review. We will ensure that Welsh interests are represented within the review'." The Department for Energy and Climate Change said: "We're determined to have a balanced and independent review of tidal lagoons. "While we're still working out the finer details, you can be sure that, when the time comes, all those with an interest will be able to have their say. That includes Welsh residents and businesses. "We're committed to providing clean, affordable and secure energy that families and businesses can rely on now and in the future. This review will help us determine what role tidal lagoons could play in this." An eyewitness has come forward and supported claims by the family of Colum Marks that he was shot after being arrested in April 1991. The police ombudsman has said he will launch an investigation into the circumstances of the killing. He took the action after receiving new information from the family's lawyers. The police officer who fired the shots said he believed Marks was armed, and claimed he refused to stop when an attempt was made to arrest him. The RUC had intelligence that the IRA was planning to launch a mortar attack on a police patrol and were lying in wait when the IRA unit arrived. Lawyers for his family have said the advance knowledge police had about the attack meant they should have been in a position to arrest him without opening fire. The police claimed Marks ignored a number of warnings to stop and was shot because it was feared he posed a threat. No gun was ever found, and his family claimed Marks was shot after being arrested. Lawyers for the family had been taking legal action in a bid to force the Police Ombudsman, Michael Maguire, to investigate the circumstances of the killing. The ombudsman had said he could not do so because the RUC had already investigated the shooting. But that all changed when an eyewitness came forward two months ago. The eyewitness has said that on the night of the shooting he saw a man, believed to have been Colum Marks, being walked along a street under police guard. He said it was clear the man was under arrest, and that three RUC officers were with him. That completely contradicts the police version of events. Lawyers for the Marks family disclosed the new information to the ombudsman. Their legal action was withdrawn in the High Court on Thursday after it was revealed that the ombudsman has now decided to launch a new investigation. The decision was welcomed by one of the family's legal representatives. "This new information fundamentally undermines the police account of what happened," said Gavin Booth. "It supports the family's claim that Colum was shot after being arrested, at a time when police must have known he was not armed, and that this was clearly a shoot-to-kill operation." In a statement, the police ombudsman said an assessment of the case will now be carried out to establish when the investigation can begin. Robson, 22, has struggled with a wrist injury over the past 18 months and made her first appearance since August at the BNP Paribas Open on 11 March. She lost to Magdalena Rybarikova in the first round at Indian Wells. Meanwhile, British wildcard Katie Swan lost 6-2 4-6 6-2 to American Sam Crawford in qualifying. The 16-year-old had beaten world number 102 Lauren Davis but struggled with a tight hamstring against Crawford. Fellow Briton Naomi Broady also went out in the final round of qualifying, losing 6-4 6-2 to Belarusian Aliaksandra Sasnovich. James Ward failed to join compatriot Andy Murray in the main draw of the men's event, losing 6-3 6-3 to American Bjorn Fratangelo. Swan, who is from Bristol but based with her family in the United States, only recently turned professional after choosing tennis over university. The teenager, who turns 17 on Thursday, fought back to level against Crawford before succumbing in the final set. "My hamstring started to get really tight and I saw the physio at the end of the set and she taped it up," Swan told BBC Sport. "It was pretty tight when I was pushing up on my serve, which affects me a little bit." She added she had learnt a lot from her experience in Miami. "I'm really glad that I got the chance to play this week because it made me realise I do have the level to compete with the top players," she said. The ninth instalment of the X Men film series took £2.54m on its second week of release. Alice Through The Looking Glass, starring Johnny Depp and directed by James Bobin, took £2.23m debuted at number two. Its predecessor, Alice in Wonderland, took £10.5m in its first week in 2010. The UK chart mirrors the North American box office, which also saw Alice beaten into second place by X Men on Memorial Day weekend. Angry Birds, the film based on the popular game, was the third most popular film in the UK, with takings of £919,000. Jodie Foster's fourth film as a director, Money Monster, entered the UK box office chart at number four after taking £821,000 in its first weekend. The movie stars George Clooney as a TV financial news presenter who is taken hostage by a gunman live on air. Another new entry, Love and Friendship, starring Kate Beckinsale, enters at number eight, having taken £263,000 on its opening weekend. Police said the incident on Monday morning on the town's Howgate Street was now being treated as suspicious. A full investigation has yet to be conducted to establish the cause of the fire. However, police now want to trace a car which was stolen from the forecourt prior to the blaze. The green Vauxhall Corsa - registration number Y585 JFS - was taken some time between 18:30 on Sunday and the time when the fire was discovered, at about 03:50 on Monday. Det Con Andrew Little said: "We also want people who may have been past the garage on Sunday evening or early Monday morning to get in touch with us if they saw anything suspicious in the Howgate Street area of the town. "This was a very large fire which has badly damaged not only the garage premises of 24/7 Automotive but also that of the adjacent property of Glass and Glazing. "A full fire scene examination will take place when the buildings are deemed safe enough to enter." Mr McGuigan Sr was shot dead at his home in east Belfast last month, and police said members of the Provisional IRA were involved in the killing. Mr Storey was one of three men, aged 59, 45 and 58, arrested by police in north and west Belfast on Wednesday. The other two arrested, Eddie Copeland and Brian Gillen, are also well-known republicans. Mr Storey, a former IRA prisoner, is the northern chairman of Sinn Féin. In 2005, Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) MP David Burnside told the House of Commons under parliamentary privilege that Mr Storey was the head of intelligence for the IRA. Mr Storey is a close ally of Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams and has an office at Stormont. Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness said he was "surprised" to learn about Mr Storey's arrest. "Bobby Storey is a valued member of Sinn Féin's core leadership," the deputy first minister said. "He has played a leading role in the development of Sinn Féin's peace strategy and is a long-standing and loyal supporter, defender and advocate of the peace and political processes. "We look forward with confidence to his early release." The Police Service of Northern Ireland's Chief Constable George Hamilton said last month that Provisional IRA members had a role in Mr McGuigan Sr's murder. But he added there was no evidence at that stage that the killing had been sanctioned at a senior level of the organisation. Sinn Féin said the IRA no longer exists after it ordered an end to its armed campaign in 2005. A total of 16 people have been arrested in connection with Mr McGuigan Sr's murder. One person has been charged, while the others were released unconditionally. After Wednesday's arrests, First Minister Peter Robinson tweeted: "These events were predicted in my statement on Monday. "No-one can be above the law. That is why we sought adjournment of the assembly. "We will do so again. Hopefully the UUP will support us this time, rather than voting with Sinn Féin for business as usual," he added. UUP leader Mike Nesbitt said the "political implications could not be more serious and profound". He said his MPs would meet Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday to discuss the arrests. "That is how serious it is being treated in Downing Street," he added. The UUP leader said he had no prior knowledge that the arrests were going to be made, but said he had been "given to believe that the situation could become blacker". In 2001, Mr Robinson told the House of Commons that Mr Gillen was a member of the IRA's ruling army council. Mr Copeland is a leading republican from north Belfast. In 1994, former UUP leader David Trimble used parliamentary privilege in the House of Commons to describe him as an IRA godfather. A year earlier, he was seriously injured when he was shot by a soldier, and has survived a number of attempts on his life by loyalist paramilitaries. The three men are being questioned at Antrim police station. The murder of Mr McGuigan Sr sparked a crisis in Northern Ireland's power-sharing government after the police assessment of IRA involvement. The UUP said Sinn Féin's denial that the IRA existed made it "impossible to do business with them" and subsequently left the Northern Ireland Executive. The Democratic Unionist Party said there would be no more meetings of the executive unless in "exceptional circumstances". A fresh round of talks between the main political parties got under way on Tuesday. Shepard wrote more than 40 plays and won the Pulitzer Prize for drama for Buried Child in 1979. He went on to be nominated for the best supporting actor Oscar for 1983's The Right Stuff and starred in films like Black Hawk Down as well as co-writing 1984's Paris, Texas. He died at home in Kentucky on Thursday, his family have confirmed. Shepard's death came after he experienced complications from motor neurone disease, also known as ALS. His first major acting role was in Terrence Malik's Days of Heaven in 1978, in which he starred alongside Richard Gere. Other film credits include Steel Magnolias, The Pelican Brief and The Accidental Husband. More recently, he was seen as Robert Rayburn in two series of Netflix thriller Bloodline. Shepard also appears in psychological thriller Never Here, which had its premiere last month. He was nominated for two other Pulitzers, for Broadway plays Fool for Love and True West. He was also nominated for two Tony Awards. His final play was A Particle of Dread, which was first performed in Derry/Londonderry in 2013 as part of its year as UK City of Culture. And he wrote the screenplay for Robert Altman's big screen adaptation of his play Fool for Love. His novel, The One Inside, was published earlier this year. A spokesman said Shepard's family were with him when he died. He leaves children Jesse, Hannah and Walker Shepard and sisters Sandy and Roxanne Rogers. Tributes have been paid from the worlds of film, theatre and TV.

Christopher Cambray, 42, from Shrewley in Warwickshire, pleaded guilty to six sexual offences against children. He was jailed for four years and two month at Birmingham Crown Court. The charges included sexual activity with a child and making indecent images of children. Cambray was an award-winning sergeant with Warwickshire Police. As well as a custodial sentence, he was also sentenced to five years on licence and handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order prohibiting unsupervised contact with any child under 18 years of age, which runs for life unless lifted by a court order. Following his arrest in September 2014, Cambray was immediately suspended by Warwickshire Police and dismissed by Chief Constable Martin Jelley after a special case hearing in July. Det Supt Gary Watson, of Warwickshire Police, said the force is "completely focused" on the victim, adding Cambray's actions were not representative of the behaviour of other officers. "It is distressing for all concerned when [an officer] is found guilty of a crime that is amongst one of the most challenging and incomprehensible with which we deal," he said. "We would like to reassure the public that the great majority of people in policing act with honesty and integrity." The skeleton belongs to a small, plant-eating dinosaur which lived 200 million years ago - at the beginning of the Jurassic Period. Although this species was widespread at the time, scientists have largely had to rely on incomplete fossils. The analysis was carried out at the ESRF facility in Grenoble, France, and showed that the specimen was juvenile. The skeleton is too small and fragile, and the rocks around it too hard, to allow it to be studied by conventional means. In addition, the rock matrix in which the fossil is preserved contains trapped minerals which prevented it from being scanned in a standard CT scanner. The specimen was discovered in a stream bed on a farm in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa by palaeontologist Billy de Klerk. "There's still a lot we don't know about early plant-eating dinosaurs," said Prof Jonah Choiniere from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. "We need new specimens like this one and new technology like the synchrotron to fill in those gaps." Prof Choiniere, along with Dr Vincent Fernandez, from the ESRF (European Synchrotron), scanned the specimen with high-powered X-rays to understand how the species, Heterodontosaurus tucki, ate, moved, and breathed. Scanning the fist-sized skull might allow the scientists to perform a 3D reconstruction of the animal's brain, offering insights into its lifestyle - including its sense of smell, and whether it was capable of complex behaviours. The scientists think the diminutive dinosaur used its back teeth to grind down plant food. In other animals with similar anatomy, this requires the teeth to be replaced due to wear and tear. The team members said they can now begin testing this theory and others regarding the dinosaur's biology and behaviour. Follow Paul on Twitter.

A 10-2 aggregate loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League added to the pressure on the Frenchman. But Wenger said: "I will not retire. Retiring is for young people." Wenger's contract expires at the end of the season but he has been offered a new two-year deal. He says he will make a decision on his future "very soon". "For old people retirement is dying," added Wenger, speaking before Sunday's Premier League match at home to Manchester City. "I still watch every football game. I find it interesting." Wenger is into his 21st year as Arsenal manager but he has not led the Gunners to a Premier League title in 13 years. "Of course I'm as hungry," he said. "I carry a bit more pressure on my shoulders than 20 years ago but the hunger is exactly the same. "When you see what the club was and what it is today - when I arrived we were seven people [members of staff], we are 700 today." He added: "I hate defeat. I can understand the fans that are unhappy with every defeat but the only way to have victory is to stick together with the fans and give absolutely everything until the end of the season, that's all we can do." The Nigerian judge due to oversee the seven-member panel was not available till then, he said. Longstanding ruler President Yahya Jammeh, 51, initially accepted defeat but later rejected the result. It is not yet clear what will happen after Mr Jammeh's term ends on 18 January. President-elect Adama Barrow is due to be inaugurated the following day. But Mr Jammeh has said he will not step down and he has the support of the head of the army. West African leaders, led by Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari, are due to in the capital, Banjul, on Friday in a last-ditch diplomatic effort to resolve the crisis. The visit was originally scheduled for Wednesday. But Mr Jammeh has so far rebuffed their attempts, saying they have no right to interfere. Mr Jammeh lodged a case before the Supreme Court after the electoral commission changed some results. The commission insists the outcome was not affected by an initial error and property developer Mr Barrow defeated Mr Jammeh. The Supreme Court hearing had already been delayed once because of a shortage of sitting judges, and other judges from neighbouring countries have since been appointed. But the Nigerian who was to act as the president of the court - Onogeme Uduma - is fully booked until May. However the existence of the legal challenge means the election result is not valid, a spokesman for Mr Jammeh's APRC party said. "Any attempt to swear in anybody in this circumstance is against the constitution," Seedy Njie told the BBC. Meanwhile, one of Mr Jammeh's top ministers, Sheriff Bojang, who has just resigned in protest over the president's refusal to accept defeat, urged him to drop the petition. "The current attempts while appearing to have a veneer of constitutionalism are in fact an attempt to subvert the express will of the Gambian electorate," the former information minister said in a statement. He urged Mr Jammeh and his cabinet colleagues "to look into their conscience and take the right decision within the most reasonable time for the present and future of our vulnerable little Gambia". Of his own defection after two years of acting as a mouthpiece for Mr Jammeh's government, Mr Bojang said: "It is never too late to do the right thing." Gambian state TV said Mr Bojang had been sacked. The Gambia, a popular tourist destination, has not had a smooth transfer of power since independence from Britain in 1965. Mr Jammeh seized power in the tiny country in 1994 and has been accused of human rights abuses, although he has held regular elections. 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.

Caballero is unbeaten in 22 fights, but the American has been out of the ring for more than a year through injury. "I've been gone for a year but I'm back, I'm hungry and I'm going to defend my title," said Caballero. He beat Stuart Hall last year to claim the vacant IBF belt, while Haskins, 32, took his record to 32 victories and three defeats with his win over Japan's Ryosuke Iwasa. Media playback is not supported on this device "He is a tough guy and there is a reason why he is mandatory challenger," Caballero said. "He is coming a long way to win my title but I've trained way too hard, I'm ready and I'm going to make sure that belt stays wrapped around my waist." The fight was added to the undercard of the WBC middleweight title contest between Miguel Cotto and Saul Alvarez last month. And Caballero added: "To be on a card like this is a dream come true and I'm ready to put on a great performance, "I promise it is going to be a brand new Randy Caballero on Saturday and I'm going to show you why I'm world champion." Haskins, though, has vowed to return to Bristol a world champion and said: "Every boxer who gets into the sport wants to fight in Vegas. A few years ago I never thought I would have a chance like this. "I'm in great shape and we are looking to put on a great fight." A £1.5m grant will fund the plans in Anglesey, Bangor, Cardiff, Cardigan, Pontardawe in the Swansea Valley and Tregaron in Ceredigion. It will take the total number of Welsh language centres to 10. Mr Jones said they offered "wide-ranging opportunities" for people to use Welsh at "grass roots level". "Already we've seen some exciting centres being developed across Wales thanks to the Capital Investment grant, demonstrating our commitment to seeing the language thrive in our communities," he said. The Cardiff centre will be run alongside the Cardiff Story museum at The Old Library on The Hayes in the city centre. Frequent showers reduced the game to 11 overs a side and Ireland posted 96-5 with crucial knocks from Stuart Poynter (35) and William Porterfield (30). George Dockrell and Max Sorensen each took three wickets as PNG fell short of their target on 89-9 in Townsville. The final game in the series takes place in Townsville on Tuesday. Ireland eased to a five-wicket victory in Saturday's opener but it was a much closer affair 24 hours later. Ireland overcame the first-ball dismissal of Andrew Balbirnie with Porterfield and Poynter, scoring a flurry of boundaries in the opening powerplay. Porterfield, in his 100th game as captain, scored 30 off just 15 balls while Poynter cleared the ropes twice in his 35 from 24 balls. However, the Irish added just 26 runs in the last four overs as Papua New Guinea debutant Pipi Raho claimed 3-11. Asad Vala (25) gave the Pacific Islanders a rapid start, but his dismissal saw the hosts implode. They lost seven wickets for just 22 runs with Dockrell (3-18), Sorensen (3-24), and Andy McBrine (2-7) doing the damage. A late flourish from Norman Vanua, with two sixes in an undefeated 26, came too late as Ireland held on to clinch an unassailable lead in the series. "It's great to be 2-0 up in the series with two solid performances," said Porterfield. "To be asked to bat first in potentially tricky conditions with the rain around I thought the lads did really well. "The bowlers then, as they have done all trip, backed that up with another great display to win the game."

The 577kg probe separated successfully from its mothership on Sunday at 14:42 GMT (15:42 BST; 16:42 CEST). It is now on a direct path to intercept the top of the Red Planet's atmosphere on Wednesday. The module will then have just under six minutes to reduce its 21,000km/h entry speed to zero in order to make a relatively soft flop-down on to Mars' dusty surface. Schiaparelli is a technology demonstrator. It is intended to showcase the European Space Agency's (Esa) ability to land on Earth's near neighbour. The organisation's only previous attempt was a very short-lived effort - the UK-led Beagle-2 robot in 2003. This craft managed to make an intact touch-down but then failed to deploy its solar panels properly, blocking any contact with home. Schiaparelli will hope to fare better, albeit with a planned surface operation of only a few days that will be sustained by batteries. Esa controllers in Darmstadt, Germany, were able to confirm the separation of the module from its carrier satellite - the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter - thanks to a radio transmission beamed across more than 170 million km of space. Schiaparelli is now on its own; there is nothing anyone can do to change its trajectory or to give it new commands. Its landing sequence on Wednesday is fully automated. The probe will rub off most of its entry speed thanks to a heatshield that will push up against the Martian air. The combination of a big parachute and a cluster of rockets will then bring it to a near standstill just above the surface. Schiaparelli's final two metres will see it dump down on to its belly. The Esa probe will emit UHF tones during its entry, descent and landing phases, which an Indian radio telescope will endeavour to capture and relay to Darmstadt. If the Indian facility can still hear Schiaparelli at 15:00 GMT (16:00 BST; 17:00 CEST) on Wednesday, it will mean the Italian-built module is safely on the surface. While the landing attempt will no doubt occupy the media's and the public's attention in the coming days, Esa also has the very important task of "parking" the Trace Gas Orbiter at Mars. Twelve hours after ejecting Schiaparelli, the satellite was due to change course to avoid following on behind the module and its collision path with the planet. This manoeuvre will be followed by a "big burn" on the TGO's main engine on Wednesday, to put it on a large ellipse around Mars. The orbiter will spend the coming years studying the behaviour of atmospheric components such as methane, water vapour and nitrogen dioxide. Although present in only small amounts, these gases - methane in particular - hold clues about the planet's current state of activity. They may even hint at the existence of life.

Europe's Schiaparelli spacecraft is on course to land on Mars.

After a two-year investigation the Commission said there was "real potential for abuse" in the charging of event or transfer fees. When residents move out, or need a carer to move in, they can be charged up to 30% of their property's value. Some rogue operators keep such charges hidden in the small print, it said. The money is supposed to cover running costs and service charges in retirement communities, which are becoming increasingly popular in the UK, having started in the US. The Commission stopped short of banning the fees, saying instead that they should be more transparent. And it did not go as far as the Office of Fair Trading, which said in an earlier report that exit fees were likely to constitute an unfair contract term. Ken Ward, from Rayleigh in Essex, said he was unaware of such fees when his father in law, Bert Elley, moved out of a retirement home shortly before he died last year. In addition to service charges, and losses on the value of the property itself, the family had to pay an extra £1,725 for administration. "They fleeced him. The whole thing has not been a good experience," he told the BBC. "I asked them to justify the fees. It just seemed so wrong that they took all this money." Nevertheless the Law Commission said exit fees worked well for many people, by deferring bills until after they sell their home. "But, in the worst cases, a few unscrupulous landlords are getting away with very high hidden fees buried deep in the small print of a long and complicated lease," said the Law Commissioner, Stephen Lewis. "We'd urge the government to crack down on rogue landlords by regulating the sector, and making sure that before consumers sign on the dotted line, they have already been told exactly what's being provided for their money." He also wants a 10% cap on fees charged for sub-letting or change of occupancy. Retirement Villages: What's the catch? The Leasehold Knowledge Partnership (LKP), which represents the interests of leaseholders, was highly critical of the report. It said the Law Commission had given the green light to exit fees. However the industry welcomed the report, saying that it wanted more regulation of the sector, not less. The Association of Retirement Community Operators (ARCO) said event fees were used to cross-subsidise running costs. "In other countries, event fees are a well-established mechanism that enable older people to use their housing equity to "enjoy now and pay later", for example by reducing their service charge or deferring some of the costs of building communal facilities," said Michael Voges, ARCO's executive director. There are now about 160,000 retirement properties of this type in the UK.

Homeowners living in retirement villages face unfair charges of thousands of pounds each, the Law Commission has found.

The Department for Education is expected to publish draft legislation as early as Thursday, BBC Newsnight has learned. The move would end the century-old role of local authorities as providers of education. An aide to the education secretary has declined to comment. Back in October, David Cameron said he wanted "every school an academy… and yes - local authorities running schools a thing of the past". At the autumn statement a month later, the official document stated that the government wanted: "The next step towards the government's goal of ending local authorities' role in running schools and all schools becoming an academy". The proposals under consideration by Education Secretary Nicky Morgan owe much to a pamphlet by Policy Exchange, the Conservative-aligned think-tank, which proposes mass-converting the remaining local authority schools into academies. That document proposed the change for mainstream schools, but did not deal with the future of special schools. Local authorities, in truth, have not "run" any mainstream schools since the early 1990s. They, instead, supervise them and offer them back-office services. The principal advantages to school leaders of academy status are that they are exempt from the national curriculum and the national pay regulations for teachers. This report, in short, would mean the end of the national curriculum and national pay scales. By forcing the local authorities out of mainstream education, it would also finally unpick the local authority system of schools put in place in England by Arthur Balfour's Conservative government in 1902. The proposals have been attacked by unions, local authorities and by the Labour party. Lucy Powell, shadow education secretary, said: "There is no evidence to suggest that academisation in and of itself leads to school improvement... In some parts of the country where standards remain a concern, all schools are already academies, yet the government has no other school improvement strategy." This proposal would mark a third phase in the academy programme. Before 2010, around 200 schools were opened as academies or converted into them. These were struggling schools that required fast turnaround or were opening in areas of educational weakness. To that end, these "sponsor academies" were given exemptions from the national curriculum and on teachers' pay to help them adapt to tougher-than-usual circumstances. From 2010 to the present, however, schools have been allowed to become academies if they wish to do so. These are known as "converter academies" - and were then Education Secretary Michael Gove's big change to the system. This was a popular programme (partly because academies got extra cash for converting). So at the last count, there were 3,381 state secondaries, of which 2,075 were academies. There remains, however, a big rump of schools which remain conventional local authority schools - particularly in the primary phase of education, where the cash incentives to convert were much weaker. At the last full count, a year ago, there were 16,766 primary schools, of which 2,440 were academies. The remainder remain attached to the local authorities. The think tank report, Primary Focus, proposes that the government "convert all primary schools into academies, and then ask each school to join an academy 'chain' by 2020". The remaining LA secondaries, it proposes, should be encouraged along the same tracks, although there should be less pressure to join an academy chain. The Policy Exchange piece proposes an end to the local authority as we know it, with its reduction to a rump provider of specialist services. It continues: "Any Local Authority that wishes to maintain a school provision service and run a chain or offer support to schools within a chain must spin out as a mutual or social enterprise and become a legally separate entity." There are a few implementation issues here. The biggest of these is very simple - we do not have enough good academy chains as it is. There is plenty of demand for school support services at the moment and some existing school chains are extremely weak; Sir Michael Wilshaw, the chief inspector, has recently started to worry more about them. Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, said: "It is hard to see how the government's plans will work when there aren't enough high quality multi-academy trusts to cope with thousands more schools and some trusts are performing as poorly as the worst local authorities according to Sir Michael Wilshaw." This proposal would also create a lot of work for the Department for Education, which has struggled with its existing workload. Since 2010, its role has gone from being a strategic body to deciding on rules for individual schools. The skills of its employees have not kept up. Indeed, even the two most important things a Whitehall department must do, keeping to its budget and being accountable for spending, have proved beyond it. The free school programme showed that even the relatively simple task of opening new schools was extremely trying for them. The Local Government Association, which represents the boroughs, has expressed concern about school accountability. Roy Perry, chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board, said: "It's vital that we concentrate on the quality of education and a school's ability to deliver the best results for children, rather than on the legal status of a school... "The LGA opposes both forced academisation, and giving significant powers relating to education to unelected civil servants with parents and residents unable to hold them to account at the ballot box." Furthermore, this proposal would force the DfE to go ahead with plans to fix a number of awkward funding problems - for example, at what level it ought to fund small schools or schools with expensive private finance deals, for example. At the moment, local authorities absorb those problems. "Academisation" would remove that buffer.

Plans to force all schools in England to become academies are to be outlined in the Budget on Wednesday.

The Shenzhou-11 spacecraft blasted off from northern China on Monday, and docked with Tiangong 2 at 03:24 Beijing time (19:24 GMT Tuesday). Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong will be spending the next 30 days in space conducting experiments. It marks the longest space mission by Chinese astronauts. The docking took place 393km (244 miles) above Earth and the remotely controlled procedure lasted about two hours, according to state media. State television on Wednesday morning carried live video of the docking and arrival of the astronauts, or "taikonauts", which saw them floating through a narrow 1m-long, 80cm-wide passageway into the lab. The pair "extended greetings to all the people of the nation," while onboard the laboratory, according to the Xinhua news agency. China has absolutely massive ambitions in space: a more-permanent space station in the coming years, the possibility of manned trips to the Moon and even Mars, not to mention operating the world's largest radio telescope. The cost of China's space programme is astronomical, yet you would struggle to find an ordinary citizen here to complain about the outlay. When we visited the launch centre earlier this week to watch these astronauts blast off on their way to Tiangong 2, we passed huge billboards at the main gates featuring images of Chinese President Xi Jinping giving himself a little clap, with rockets taking off in the background. The government in Beijing believes it's on a winner when it comes to space exploration and it probably is. While onboard, the astronauts will spend time on experiments, from cultivating plants such as rice and cress, to giving themselves ultrasounds to scan their bodies' performance. "Rice is the staple food of Chinese people so we hope to plant it in space in the future," Zheng Huiqiong, an expert from the Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology under the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences told media outlet the Global Times. $2.2bn China's estimated annual spending on space programmes 181 Chinese satellites in space 11 Chinese people have travelled in space - often known as taikonauts 2003 The year of China's first crewed space mission 2020 The year China plans its own space station China is the third country, after the United States and Russia, to carry out its own crewed missions. The Shenzhou-11 is its sixth. It plans to create its own permanent space station by 2022 following its exclusion from the International Space Station. It will expand Tiangong 2 over the next few years by sending up additional modules. China has poured significant funding and efforts into its space programme, and plans to launch at least 20 space missions this year. Ms Clwyd was speaking for the first time about the report into Owen Roberts' death at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff in 2012. She has said her husband was treated like a "battery hen." Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has apologised unreservedly and said the failings were "unacceptable". The Cynon Valley MP has made a public protest about the care her late husband received while he was in hospital last year. She said her husband was treated with coldness, indifference and even contempt by NHS staff "who didn't care". After speaking out about her concerns, Prime Minister David Cameron asked her to review how hospitals in England deal with complaints from patients and their families. She has now received a confidential report from the health board and spoke about her husband's care in a Commons debate on NHS complaints. Speaking on BBC Radio Wales she said: "I did feel that it was very difficult to speak to nursing staff. "In fact, on the night before he died I stopped a nurse in a corridor and asked why he wasn't in intensive care and she brushed me aside and said 'there are a lot worse than he is' and then walked on. "So I didn't even have a discussion with her and, of course, the next day Owen died." Ms Clwyd compared her husband's 27 hours on a trolley in A&E or its spill-over ward with the four-hour target introduced in England a decade ago. She said: "If they think four hours is too long, then 27 hours definitely is. "There is an admission that he should not have been nursed in that area for the length of time he remained there and that it fell significantly below the standard expected and this is unacceptable. "That's just one aspect of it. There were lots of things about his care I was concerned about." Ms Clwyd said that she had asked a GP friend to examine the report and said her conclusion was that "Owen was not properly treated or investigated". The health board said it wanted to offer its "sincere condolences" to Ms Clwyd and her family. It said: "Given the gravity of the concerns raised by Ms Clwyd about her husband's care, we set up an independent panel to oversee an investigation. "The panel was made up of Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan Community Health Council, the patient watchdog, Health Inspectorate Wales and an independent member of the health board. "The investigation was undertaken in line with the requirements of the NHS concerns process, Putting Things Right. Every concern raised by Ms Clwyd was investigated. "We have shared the outcome of the investigation with Ms Clwyd and have offered to meet with her to discuss the findings. "It would not be right for us to publish what is a private report for Ms Clwyd. In view of Ms Clwyd's comments however, we would welcome Ms Clwyd releasing the report in its entirety into the public domain. "We fully appreciate how difficult it is for anyone to raise concerns about the care of a loved one at such an emotional time and we would like to thank Ms Clwyd for her input into the investigation, which has been invaluable in helping us understand her experience." Daniel Bennett was last seen in the Green Welly Stop at Tyndrum just before midday on Saturday, and was thought to be walking in hills in the area. The 43-year-old has not made contact with friends or family since. He is described as being 5ft 8in tall, with short brown hair and blue eyes, and was carrying a rucksack with him. Ch Insp Lynn Raycliff appealed for other hillwalkers and members of the public look out for Mr Bennett, who is from Bishopbriggs and works as a software developer at Durham University. She said: "Daniel is an experienced hillwalker and is always properly equipped, however the length of time he has been away without making contact with anyone is becoming increasingly concerning. "The support we get from the public in response to our missing person appeals is invaluable and we'd appreciate anyone in the Tyndrum area keeping a lookout for him. However, and I can't stress this enough, please do not stray from the safety of your pre-planned route. "We are working very closely with the mountain rescue team, who are professionally trained and equipped for such searches, and are currently carrying out various lines of inquiry to help us trace him." On Wednesday, talks to try to prevent a repeat of problems associated with last year's bonfire broke down. The bottom of the Lecky Road flyover in the Bogside was partially blocked last August by a 20ft (6m) high bonfire. It is understood youths want to burn flags on this year's bonfire. Both Sinn Féin and DUP election posters were placed on last year's bonfire and there was a security alert in the area after it was lit. Bonfires are traditionally lit on 15 August in some nationalist areas to mark the Feast of the Assumption. In recent years, efforts have been made to replace the bonfire with family fun days and live music. Talks between members of the public, local politicians in Derry and community representatives failed to reach a solution ahead of Tuesday's planned bonfire. Donnacha McNelis, from Dove House community centre, said he is disappointed. "There was a massive engagement with young people in the area," said Mr McNelis. "We are not at the ideal place that we need to be. We will continue to work at it till we get there. "I doubt that we will reach a solution on time for next Tuesday. We have come to the end of the line." He added: "I have no authority to make sure young people don't put the bonfire in the middle of a road. In terms of flags, we have suggested that we have a positive display of flags. "The young people feel it happens in loyalist areas so that it should happen in theirs." SDLP councillor John Boyle said an alternative suggestion had been offered at Wednesday's meeting. "One of the alternatives was to have a more controlled bonfire in the nearby Gasyard site," he said. "It was be marshalled, there would be no alcohol and it would be away from houses and residents. That seemed like a good compromise. "However, talks have broken down. It seems that young people have a desire to burn flags. It's unbelievable that young people would want to burn anyone's national flag. "We are talking about 14-year-old teenagers and up here. I suspect that some adults might be a controlling influence here too." Sinn Féin councillor Patricia Logue said: "This has been a long process where consultation has been happening with a wide range of focus groups. "There was a proposal to have a bonfire in the Gasyard and there would be music and food stalls. "This is being accommodated but the same young people who asked for this are now saying they want to burn flags." More than 75kg of the drug were found near the tourist hotspot of the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare. Revenue customs officers responded to a report from a member of the public about the suspicious device. They believe it may have been attached below the waterline of a cargo ship or other sea vessel. Small bales of cocaine, each about a foot long and weighing about 1kg, were found wrapped in plastic inside the 6ft metal tube on Monday. A spokeswoman said: "It is not possible at this stage to say either where the drugs originated or their intended destination." Officials said the alarm was raised thanks to a programme that urges people living in coastal communities, maritime personnel and people living near airfields to report unusual or suspicious activities. England international Wilshere, 24, is ineligible for Sunday's Premier League game against his parent club. But Arter, who made his competitive Republic of Ireland debut earlier this month, is confident Bournemouth can raise their game without him. "With some hard work and a bit of luck, we can pick something up," he said. Arter labelled Arsenal the best side Bournemouth faced last season, but following a first Premier League away win of the season for the Cherries at Stoke on Saturday, the 26-year-old says confidence is high. "I think these kind of clubs [Arsenal] always have the pressure on them," he told BBC Radio Solent. "The fans will be expecting them to beat us. "If we can stay in the game and get a break, I'm sure it will get a bit nervy at their end and that's when we feel we can hurt them." Arter and Wilshere have struck up a partnership in Bournemouth's midfield since the latter's arrival on the south coast on a season-long loan to gain more game time and fitness. His presence on the pitch and the training ground has "lifted the standard" for others, according to the former Woking player. "He's an unbelievable player," Arter added. "He's probably one of England's most talented players, and one of our most talented players in the squad without a shadow of a doubt. "I can't pinpoint one thing I've learned from him. But his all-round game can take not just myself, but everyone on to the next level. "He's getting fitter and that can only be good for England and also ourselves." Security Minister Luhut Panjaitan said the country must make peace with its past, but ruled out an official apology. The meeting brought together victims and members of the security forces. The massacre began in 1965 after an apparent coup blamed on the communists. Conference organiser Agus Widjojo, a retired general, said at the meeting that the killings had "torn apart" Indonesia and called for the government to establish a commission for truth and reconciliation. Indonesia's darkest hour Mass killing commemorations cancelled Indonesia 'not safe for documentary director' "Let's open this history together so we can all find out what has been wrong in our national system, why this nation could have the ability to commit mass killings," he said. Mr Widjojo's father was among six right-wing generals whose assassinations during the abortive coup were blamed on Indonesia's Communist Party. In the bloodshed that followed, researchers say the military and religious groups killed half a million people as the former dictator Suharto rose to power. Suspected Communist Party members and sympathisers were hunted down, tortured and killed in one of the worst massacres of the 20th Century. Rivalries between the Indonesian military and the Communist Party came to a head when six generals were killed in an overnight attack by soldiers allegedly sympathetic to the communists A group of officers led by a colonel in President Sukarno's palace guard was accused of trying to launch a coup General Suharto led bloody anti-communist purges in which hundreds of thousands of suspected leftists were killed Many more were detained and imprisoned without trial In 1966, President Sukarno was forced to hand emergency powers to Gen Suharto, who took over as president the following year, ruling Indonesia for 31 years More from the BBC's Witness programme About 100,000 more suffered years of imprisonment without trial or exile in remote corners of Indonesia because of a tenuous connection to the Communist Party. During his 32-year rule, Suharto depicted the communists as a threat to bolster his own authoritarian hold on power. Descendants of Communist Party members are still discriminated against and are banned from holding government jobs, despite calls from rights groups to end the practice. There were scuffles between police and protesters outside the Jakarta Hotel where the conference is taking place. The protesters fear it could help revive communism in the country. However, the conference is being supported by government figures and was attended by Indonesia's attorney general, police chief and justice minister. After his election in 2014, Indonesian President Joko Widodo promised a state-sponsored inquiry into the killings. Rights groups have also called on the US to release its secret files on the killings. At the time, the US saw Indonesia as an important part of efforts to counter the influence of the Soviet Union and China in South-East Asia. Documents held in the National Security Archive of George Washington University show the US embassy in Jakarta was aware of some of the killings, AP news agency reported. The embassy also passed lists of communists it had compiled to Indonesia's military, supplied Indonesia's military with radios and secretly gave money to a military-linked group involved in the repression, AP added. The statue is said to have cost more than 100,000 yuan (£10,382) and taken creator Mr Zhao three days and nights to build. He posted before and after photos of Nick on the Sina Weibo social network. A "no touching" sign in place at the Chinese Lego expo seems to have been of little help. Following the incident, the hashtag #ManSpends3DaysAndNightsBuildingBlocks has been used over 13,000 times on Chinese social media. According to some reports, the parents of the boy apologised and offered to pay for the damage. Mr Zhao said he would not be accepting any compensation as the young boy had not done it on purpose. "The child did not intend to break it," he insisted. Clearly there are risks involved with art installations and paintings that are within touching distance of little (and big) hands. Last month CCTV caught two young boys who were seen touching and pulling the delicate angel wings of a piece in the Shanghai Museum of Glass in China. The two adults accompanying them were seen filming the boys on their phones then walking away after the wings were smashed. The artist, Shelly Xue, called her work Angel in Waiting. It took 27 months to build as a dedication to her newborn daughter. Shelly decided not to fix the damaged piece and instead renamed it Broken. In 2015, a boy visiting a museum in Ipswich accidently smashed an 18th Century jug. The Delftware puzzle was broken into about 65 pieces. Each of the pieces of the jug was then logged and photographed. The jug was eventually repaired and moved to Ipswich Museum and Art Gallery in the High Street. It is not just children who are to blame for the accidental destruction of museum pieces. In 2006, an adult visitor tripped over his shoelace and destroyed three 300-year-old Chinese Qing Dynasty vases in Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge in the UK. Casino Tycoon and art collector Steve Wynn accidently elbowed a painting by Pablo Picasso while trying to sell it in 2006. However, after restoration he was able to sell the painting for $16 million more than its pre-accident price. In 2015, cleaners at the Museion museum in Bolzano, Italy decided to clean up what they mistook for the aftermath of a good time had by museum staff. The installation called, "Where shall we go dancing tonight?" consisted of empty bottles, confetti, cigarette butts and paper streamers. Cleaners threw objects into bin bags assuming the mess was left over from an actual party. In 2012, an elderly parishioner stunned Spanish cultural officials with an alarming and unauthorised attempt to restore a prized Jesus Christ fresco. Ecce Homo (Behold the Man) by Elias Garcia Martinez had held pride of place in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church near Zaragoza for more than 100 years. Cecilia Gimenez took her brush to it after years of deterioration due to moisture - but her "restoration" rather failed to impress. Eugene O'Neill's expressionist drama - first performed in 1922 - tells the story of Yank, a stoker on a transatlantic ocean liner who questions his place in the world when he is called a "filthy beast" by the daughter of a steel merchant. Carvel's other recent TV credits include BBC One's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and Channel 4's Coalition, in which he played Nick Clegg. His stage career includes Bakkhai (Almeida Theatre), The Man of Mode (National Theatre) and Parade (Donmar Warehouse), although he is best known for his Olivier Award-winning role as the terrifying Miss Trunchbull in the RSC's Matilda The Musical. How well did you know The Hairy Ape? I read it at drama school. They do these showcase evenings where you get a minute and a half to strut your stuff. Everyone trawled the library for speeches that haven't been done in the last 20 years and I looked at The Hairy Ape because someone had told me it had these fantastic "arias" in it - but they are about eight minutes long so none of that would do! What do you like about the play? It's got political DNA which floats my boat. I think a certain kind of political thinking has been swept under the carpet by the prevailing neoliberal, relatively conservative narrative which says that capitalism has been a successful economic model. But a bunch of thinkers and writers 100 years ago challenged that notion. They have been sidelined or made to seem old-fashioned. And then you dust these plays off and read them and they seem incredibly potent and prescient. Just very alive. Who is Yank? My character Yank is an uneducated and unsophisticated worker: a proto-American who regards himself as being in the engine room of the universe. And he's literally in the engine room stoking the fires of this transatlantic liner. He revels in his own physical strength. He can see the ship he drives would be nothing without his efforts. He buys the idea that makes him the king of the world. He discovers a kind of Marxist critique and realises that his effort is exploited and his entire identity in fact is founded on a sham principle. You've hardly been off TV screens this year. Why did Doctor Foster strike such a chord? I think the great British Bake Off was a good bit of linear programming - we seemed to inherit an audience there but then we had to keep them. I suppose it's near to a lot of people's experience. Although it was a thriller [writer] Mike [Bartlett] actually did the opposite to what you would expect from a thriller which is to pull toward real life. Has it lead to you being more recognised when you walk down the street? More from Dr Foster than anything else. I've always tried to play characters who are different from the last. It just so happens that the one that attracted the biggest audience - and in which I am playing someone that people maybe have less than ambivalent feelings towards - is the one that superficially resembles me quite a lot. How much do you miss Miss Trunchbull? I was involved in Matilda for three years. I'm hugely proud to have been a small part of an amazing phenomenon. I don't miss Miss Trunchbull, but she did give me a leg up to the next phase of my career. How is 2016 looking? This role is the Kilimanjaro of the roles I've played this year. I'm going to need a bit of a break and then I don't know. I think people think that when successful things happen that your phone is ringing off the hook, but it's generally not. The Hairy Ape, directed by Richard Jones, runs until Sat 21 November. He said allowing developers to convert offices into flats without planning permission was robbing people of employment opportunities. A new survey by the Local Government Association suggests firms are being served with eviction notices so their offices can be turned into housing. Mr Pickles' communities department said it was "providing badly needed homes". The permitted development rights changes were introduced in May last year and proposals have been put forward to make the move permanent. Speaking at a fringe meeting at the Lib Dem conference in Glasgow, Mr Cable, MP for Twickenham, said the policy flew in the face of Mr Pickles' commitment to local decision-making, calling it a "particularly bad example of central imposition". "In an area like mine in south-west London large swathes of commercial property are in the process of disappearing so that people can build converted flats on them. "Now you could say, 'You're desperate for the housing,' which we are. But it does mean there is nowhere for small firms to operate. "So we are creating the homes but driving out employment, which is perverse, and it just means you are getting terribly unbalanced development." The Local Government Association (LGA) survey fond vacant offices had been brought back into use in some areas - but in others more than half of applications had resulted in partly or fully occupied offices turning into flats. Four in 10 of the council planning officers polled said the measures had reduced office space within their area and only 20% thought it had brought vacant office premises back into use. The survey also revealed 60% of councils agreed the changes had reduced the provision of affordable housing. Some 46% of those that responded said that between half of and all prior approvals involved office space which was either partially or fully occupied. Councillor Peter Box, the LGA's housing spokesman, said: "What was meant to provide a new lease of life for empty offices has, in reality, seen organisations kicked out of their premises so landlords can cash in on the higher rents they can charge for flats and houses. "High streets and communities have been changed with no consultation of those living and working in them." A number of authorities have lobbied for and received exemptions from the policy where the measures would have a detrimental economic impact on their areas. But the LGA said the government wanted to end these exemptions - and it warned office space and affordable housing would be squeezed even further if the policy was made permanent from 2016. The survey, which was carried out over the summer, was fully completed by 93 English councils (a 29% response rate), with 19 councils providing incomplete responses which were also included in the survey. Conservative housing minister Brandon Lewis said: "Our change-of-use reforms are providing badly needed homes such as studios and one-bedroom flats for young people, especially in London where there is a particularly acute need for more housing. "This is helping promote brownfield regeneration, protect the Green Belt and increase housing supply at no cost to the taxpayer. More housing in town centres also increases resident footfall and supports local shops. "The Local Government Association simply oppose these changes as town halls can't hammer these regeneration schemes with punishing development taxes." The average Chinese consumer enjoys 16 hours of music per week, with 66% of listeners using a streaming service. It lags behind the US, where 91% of the population listens to music every week, and the UK, where the figure is 85.5%. But China has a healthy live scene, with 57% of affluent fans attending concerts, compared to 51% in the US. The figures, compiled by US company Nielsen, show a great disparity between wealthy Chinese consumers and those on lower incomes. In total, 83% of affluent consumers listen to music at least once a week; compared to 53% for low-earners. The well-off tend to prefer Western or English-language music, and are more likely to listen to pop, rock and jazz. They spend an average of 914 yuan ($139, £97) on music every year; while poorer Chinese consumers spend just 118 yuan ($18, £13). Nielsen projected that spending on music would reach $56 trillion (£39 trillion) in China over the next decade, driven largely by young, affluent, connected consumers with disposable incomes. However, piracy remains a major barrier. Just 3% of low-income consumers said they would be "very likely" to pay for a streaming service in the future. The findings will be read with interest by record companies in the West, who are increasingly looking to China to offset falling revenues at home. Once largely closed to foreign music, the country has gradually loosened restrictions and emerged as a crucial territory for bands of all sizes. Wham! made headlines 31 years ago by becoming the first Western band to play in Beijing and the southern city of Guangzhou; and as recently as 2002, a concert by Kenny G was considered big news. Now Chinese cities frequently turn up on the touring itineraries for a range of acts. Taylor Swift, Bob Dylan, Robbie Williams, Bon Jovi, Michael Buble and Ellie Goulding have all played there in recent years. But booking a show in Shanghai is not without its pitfalls. Before foreign artists can perform, the culture ministry runs background checks and pre-approves set lists. In 2006, the Rolling Stones were told to drop five songs - including Honky Tonk Woman and Let's Spend the Night Together - because of their suggestive lyrics. "Fortunately, we have 400 more songs that we can play so it's not really an issue," said Mick Jagger. Other artists have been banned completely. Jay-Z had permission for a 2006 concert turned down because of his "vulgar lyrics"; while Kraftwerk were denied Chinese visas because they had been slated to perform at a pro-Tibetan independence concert in 1999 - even though the appearance was eventually cancelled. Sir Elton John also attracted disapproval when he dedicated his 2012 concert in Beijing to the artist and activist Ai Weiwei. He received a visit from police, while the state-run newspaper Global Times said the singer was "disrespectful" when he "forcibly added political content to the concert". "If they had known that this concert would be dedicated to Ai Weiwei, many in the audience would not have come," it said. Analysis of pay data by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) suggests that the difference in average pay rates amounts to a gap of 23%. Black graduates earn on average £14.33 an hour, compared with £18.63 earned by white graduates, the TUC says. The average pay gap between black and white workers with A-levels is 14%. And at GCSE level the gap is 11%, the TUC says. The TUC's general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "Race still plays a huge role in determining pay. "The harsh reality is that at any level of education, black and Asian workers are getting paid less than their white counterparts. "The government cannot afford to ignore these figures and must now take genuine action to tackle pay discrimination." The Runnymede Trust, a leading race equality think tank, has previously found that pay gaps are not due to the type of university attended, as they even extend to black workers with degrees from the most selective Russell Group of universities. In fact the TUC's analysis, based on the Labour Force Survey figures from 2014 and 2015, shows the pay gaps are widest for those with higher qualifications. "This suggests that education alone will do little to address racial inequalities, and the need for interventions that directly challenge racial inequalities in the workplace," the TUC said. The trade union umbrella body is calling on the government to recognise the scale of the problem and to urgently develop a race equality strategy. As part of an anti-discrimination drive announced on Sunday, David Cameron said universities in England would be forced to disclose the proportion of ethnic minority applicants who get places. The prime minister said transparency would force top universities like Oxford to work harder to broaden their intake. Belfast's Linfield and SP La Fiorita will play in the first qualifying round with the winners taking on Brendan Rodgers' treble winners, who were seeded in the draw in Nyon. Celtic will play away from home first. Also entering in the first round are Welsh side The New Saints, who will play Gibraltar's Europa. Celtic were seeded in Group Three, along with Poland's Legia Warsaw, Maribor of Slovenia, Swedish outfit Malmo, Rosenborg of Norway and Iceland's Hafnarfjordur. The first qualifying round first-leg ties will be on 27 or 28 June with the return legs on 4 or 5 July. The dates for the second qualifying round ties are 11/12 July and 18/19 July. Last season, Celtic came through the second and third qualifying rounds, and then the play-off round, to reach the group stage, finishing bottom of their section.

She was given David Cameron's Point of Light award, which recognises outstanding individual volunteers. Miss Lowe, who has been volunteering at Salford Royal hospital for 40 years, has "enjoyed every minute of it". "I never married or had children but I feel like I've spent my life surrounded by wonderful people who I care about very much," she said. "I have never been one for sitting in front of the TV and always want to be out and about with people." During her Girl Guides career Miss Lowe has been a leader, a district commissioner and vice president of Girlguiding in Greater Manchester West. She has organised camping trips, trained guide leaders and to volunteers at Salford Royal hospital's cafe for the Royal Voluntary Service (RVS). Mr Cameron said: "Betty is an incredible woman who has dedicated her life to volunteering. "As an RVS volunteer for 40 years and a girl guide for 95 years, Betty has lived and breathed serving others. Her selfless, positive attitude is an inspiration." David McCullough, chief executive for RVS, said: "She has spent her life helping others and yet doesn't see it as anything other than something she has greatly enjoyed." Ronald Smith, 65, was found at his home on Cottage Walk, West Bromwich on 2 June, but police believed he may have been killed up to four weeks earlier. A post-mortem examination found he died from stab wounds. A 60-year-old man from West Bromwich was arrested last week on suspicion of murder and bailed pending further inquiries. Mr Smith has not been formally identified, but officers said his family had been informed and his name was being released to try to discover more information. "We know that Ronald was alive on 5 May and we would ask anyone who knows his movements from that date to contact us," Det Insp Ian Iliffe said. "From what we can establish so far, Ronald kept himself to himself, although we do know that he was a keen fisherman and was often spotted fishing on the local canal. Det Insp Iliffe, who is leading the investigation, said Mr Smith often went to betting shops in the area and frequently visited local temples for meals as part of their community outreach work. Police were called to Cottage Walk after neighbours became concerned for Mr Smith's welfare. Police again fired stun grenades to disperse students in Cape Town, a day after protesters stormed the parliamentary complex. Thousands also descended on the governing party's headquarters in the main city, Johannesburg. The students are angry with a proposed increase in tuition fees. Africa Live: BBC news updates The demonstrations began last week at Johannesburg's prestigious University of the Witwatersrand, and have since spread to at least 10 universities, forcing the closure of many of them. At the scene: Pumza Fihlani, BBC News, Johannesburg On at least two occasions, police foiled attempts by the protesters to reach the headquarters of the governing African National Congress (ANC), pushing them back to their campuses. But the students regrouped and finally reached the building, named Luthuli House after South Africa's first Nobel Peace Prize laureate Albert Luthuli. The students sang and chanted anti-apartheid songs, invoking memories of the decades-long campaign which led to the overthrow of the apartheid regime in 1994. The ANC pulled out its election truck and seemed to be wiring a loud speaker, but the students refused to let the party's secretary-general Gwede Mantashe address them. Instead, they gave him a memorandum outlining their demands. "The honeymoon of 1994 - when we were told that we were free - is over," a student leader said in his address to the protesters. Students said they would march on Friday to government buildings in the capital, Pretoria, to coincide with President Jacob Zuma's plan to meet protest leaders to discuss their grievances. The mainly black students say they cannot afford fee increases and have rejected a government offer to cap increases at 6%, down from the 10% to 12% proposed by the management of universities. The 29 people who appeared in court in Cape Town were not asked to plead. The accused have been released from police custody, and the case postponed to February. Those charged include the 63-year-old parent of a student at the University of Cape Town, the privately owned News24 site reports. It published what was purportedly an official document, showing "high treason" was among the alleged offences for which he had been detained. However, the charge was not mentioned in court. Correspondents say the protests show growing disillusionment with the ANC, which took power after minority rule ended in 1994, over high levels of poverty, unemployment and corruption in government. Many black students say they come from poor families, and fee increases will rob them of the opportunity to continue studying. Financially better-off white students have joined the protest, mainly to show solidarity with the black students. In a statement, Mr Zuma said: "It is important that we work together to find solutions. Nobody disagrees with the message that students from poor households are facing financial difficulties and possible exclusion." Correspondents say his intervention shows how seriously he is taking the protests. Students are also demanding the resignation of Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande, who said on Monday that the protests were not a national crisis. John Gurdon from the UK and Shinya Yamanaka from Japan were awarded the prize for changing adult cells into stem cells, which can become any other type of cell in the body. Prof Gurdon used a gut sample to clone frogs and Prof Yamanaka altered genes to reprogramme cells. The Nobel committee said they had "revolutionised" science. The prize is in stark contrast to Prof Gurdon's first foray into science when his biology teacher described his scientific ambitions as "a waste of time". "I believe Gurdon has ideas about becoming a scientist; on his present showing this is quite ridiculous; if he can't learn simple biological facts he would have no chance of doing the work of a specialist, and it would be a sheer waste of time, both on his part and of those who would have to teach him." When a sperm fertilises an egg there is just one type of cell. It multiplies and some of the resulting cells become specialised to create all the tissues of the body including nerve and bone and skin. It had been though to be a one-way process - once a cell had become specialised it could not change its fate. In 1962, John Gurdon showed that the genetic information inside a cell taken from the intestines of a frog contained all the information needed to create a whole new frog. He took the genetic information and placed it inside a frog egg. The resulting clone developed into a normal tadpole. The technique would eventually give rise to Dolly the sheep, the first cloned mammal. Forty years later Shinya Yamanaka used a different approach. Rather than transferring the genetic information into an egg, he reset it. He added four genes to skin cells which transformed them into stem cells, which in turn could become specialised cells. The Nobel committee said the discovery had "revolutionized our understanding of how cells and organisms develop. "The discoveries of Gurdon and Yamanaka have shown that specialized cells can turn back the developmental clock under certain circumstances. "These discoveries have also provided new tools for scientists around the world and led to remarkable progress in many areas of medicine." By David ShukmanScience editor, BBC News Sir John Gurdon is relishing the story about his failings at school and how his teachers ridiculed any notion that he might pursue a career as a scientist. Dressed casually in a sweater, and rushed from his labs in Cambridge to face the world's media, a fine sense of humour allowed him to take today's tumult in his stride. When I met him, he admitted to being bemused that a Nobel attracted so much more attention than any other prize. I asked what he thought of the 50-year gap between publishing his ground-breaking paper, in 1962, and winning the award only now. Actually, he said, the experiment on the frog cells was carried out back in 1958 - "rather a long time ago", but he said, with infinite patience, that science works best by making sure one's theories are right. Prof Yamanaka said it was a "tremendous honour" to be given the award. He also praised Prof Gurdon: "I am able to receive this award because of John Gurdon. "This field has a very long history, starting with John Gurdon." It is hoped the techniques will revolutionise medicine by using a sample of person's skin to create stem cells. The idea is that they could be used to repair the heart after a heart attack or reverse the progress of Alzheimer's disease. Prof Gurdon, now at the Gurdon Institute at Cambridge University, said: "I am immensely honoured to be awarded this spectacular recognition, and delighted to be due to receive it with Shinya Yamanaka, whose work has brought the whole field within the realistic expectation of therapeutic benefits. "I am of course most enormously grateful to those colleagues who have worked with me, at various times over the last half century. "It is particularly pleasing to see how purely basic research, originally aimed at testing the genetic identity of different cell types in the body, has turned out to have clear human health prospects." Prof Yamanaka, who started his career as a surgeon, said: "My goal, all my life, is to bring this stem cell technology to the bedside, to patients, to clinic." The president of the Royal Society, Sir Paul Nurse, said: "I was delighted to learn that John Gurdon shares this year's Nobel prize for physiology or medicine with Shinya Yamanaka. "John's work has changed the way we understand how cells in the body become specialised, paving the way for important developments in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. "My congratulations go out to both John and Shinya." Prof Anthony Hollander, the head of cellular and molecular medicine at the University of Bristol, said: "This joint Nobel Prize traces and celebrates the wonderful scientific journey from John Gurdon's pioneering early work to the sensational discovery of somatic cell reprogramming by Shinya Yamanaka. "It's fantastic news for stem cell research." Sir Mark Walport, the director of the Wellcome Trust, said: "John Gurdon's life has been spent in biology, from collecting insects as a child to over 50 years at the laboratory bench. He and Shinya Yamanaka have demonstrated conclusively that it is possible to turn back the clock on adult cells, to create all the specialised cell types in the body. "Their work has created the field of regenerative medicine, which has the potential to transform the lives of patients with conditions such as Parkinson's, stroke and diabetes. "This is a wonderfully well-deserved Nobel Prize." The 29-year-old Russian failed a doping test at the Australian Open in January. Meldonium, a heart disease drug, was added to the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned list on 1 January. The International Tennis Federation panel could issue a four-year-ban, but experts say a six-month or 12-month punishment is more likely. That is because Wada admitted in April that scientists were unsure how long meldonium stayed in the system. It even suggested athletes who tested positive for the substance before 1 March could avoid bans, provided they had stopped taking it before 1 January. Media playback is not supported on this device However, Sharapova has already admitted she continued taking meldonium past that date, claiming she was unaware it had been added to the banned list as she knew it by another name - mildronate. The former world number one also revealed she had been taking meldonium for 10 years on the recommendation of her doctor for medical reasons. "It is very important for you to understand that, for 10 years, this medicine was not on Wada's banned list and I had been legally taking that medicine," she said. The Latvian-made drug, widely used by sportsmen and women in eastern Europe, is said to benefit athletes by increasing stamina and endurance. Sharapova's case is the most high-profile but there have been almost 300 positive samples so far this year, according to Wada. They include Belarusian tennis player Sergey Betov, who also tested positive at the Australian Open. The doubles specialist was cleared last month by the International Tennis Federation on the grounds that he had stopped taking it before 2016. Sharapova is expected to argue that the health reasons she cited for taking the drug should qualify her for a backdated therapeutic use exemption.

The covers were picked up by a courier from quilter Joe Bennison in Winnersh on Tuesday 3 November but failed to arrive at the widow's house in Kent. Ms Bennison said MyHermes had told her the quilts had been among a number of parcels stolen from a van in Reading. "I fear that they will be dumped somewhere and nobody will think to hand them in," she said. "The quilts were for his family to remember him by. They can not be replaced and are of no real use to anyone else. "They are made from his favourite shirts and are therefore irreplaceable." MyHermes said it was looking in to the matter. Joe Bennison, 46, was temporarily holding the quilts to add decorative stitching for the widow's friend, Janet Bevan, before sending them back to her. Mrs Bevan had been making the items to help her friend and her sons deal with the sudden loss of her husband. Thames Valley Police confirmed the theft of two quilts from a delivery van in Reading was reported to them on 12 November. Officers said they were believed to have been taken from an unknown location between 3 and 10 November. Scottish Labour as a party will support remaining in the EU and a spokesman said the "vast majority" of MSPs were expected to back that position. But Eurosceptics in the party will be free to support the "Out" campaign in the run up to the vote. The SNP's Europe spokesman Stephen Gethins said the decision was evidence of divisions in the Labour Party. Prime Minister David Cameron has promised the referendum will take place by the end of 2017. A Scottish Labour spokesman said: "Scottish Labour will be campaigning to remain in the EU as we believe it's in the best interests of families all across the country. "It will be for individual MSPs to decide how they will vote in the EU referendum, but the vast majority will be campaigning for an 'In' vote." Mr Gethins said the SNP was now the only major UK party which is "unequivocally committed to staying in Europe". 5 December 2016 Last updated at 00:05 GMT Hard currency is in short supply following the government’s surprise decision to scrap 500 and 1,000 rupee notes in an effort to curb corruption. The BBC visited a village in the state of West Bengal to meet farmers and labourers who are trying desperately to survive without cash in hand. Filmed and edited by Neha Sharma. Produced by Shalu Yadav. They provide information on symptoms, and how quickly a player should return. Broadly speaking, an adult should sit out at least a week and only return when signed off by a doctor, and under-18s should rest for at least two weeks. "They are a fantastic development and hopefully have the potential to impact on sport in England as a whole," head injury expert Dr Willie Stewart said. The safety-first guidelines, developed by an expert panel set up in April, were prompted by rising fears over head injuries across all sports. "The guidelines clearly demonstrate the FA's strong leadership around this issue and provide clear information on the immediate management of the injury around the simple principle of 'if in doubt, sit them out'," Stewart added. Stewart, a consultant neuropathologist at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, was one of eight leading concussion experts on the FA panel but he has not always been so complimentary of football's efforts in this area. In May, he described Chelsea's treatment of a head injury suffered by Brazilian midfielder Oscar as "completely unacceptable"; a comment that angered the Premier League champions. The FA, like every national governing body of a contact sport, is particularly sensitive to the issue of concussion, not least because of the campaign led by the family of former England and West Bromwich Albion forward Jeff Astle, who died in 2002 aged 59 from a brain condition more traditionally associated with boxers. Speaking earlier this year, the FA's head of performance services, Dave Reddin, said football had been slow to respond to concerns about the long-term effect of head injuries. But Reddin, who previously worked with the England rugby union team and Great Britain Olympic squad, said the new guidelines represented the very latest in thinking about concussions from around the world. "We have been very fortunate to have had the combined expertise of an international panel in reviewing and revising our guidelines," Reddin said. "This allowed us to take viewpoints from inside and outside the game, especially referring to those sports with a longer period of experience in dealing with concussion." Stewart and Dr Simon Kemp, the Rugby Football Union's chief medical officer, brought expertise from rugby union, while Boston University's Dr Bob Cantu has been central to the huge strides the leading US sports have made in dealing with their treatment of head injuries. As well as these new guidelines, the panel has also been identifying some areas of research that football should pursue, including some "research questions" for the game's global governing body Fifa. These are understood to include looking at risks associated with heading the ball, an area of particular concern in the United States, where the US Soccer Federation has just banned headers for under-10s and limited the amount of heading players aged between 11 and 13 can do in training. Walker, 23, was injured in a collision and taken to Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he died on Friday. "We are grieving the loss of a special young man," said the Ravens on Twitter, of Walker, who was drafted in 2015 and played eight games last season. "Tray was a young man with a good and kind heart," added Ravens coach John Harbaugh in a statement. "He was humble and loved everything about being part of the Ravens' team. He loved his team-mates, the practice and the preparation, and that showed every day. "He was coachable, did his most to improve and worked to become the best. I'll never forget that smile." The French host the tournament, which begins on 10 June. Didier Deschamps' side take on Romania in the tournament opener in Paris, before matches against Albania and Switzerland. The Scots missed out on Euro 2016 after finishing behind Germany, Poland and Republic of Ireland in qualifying. Scotland's last visit to face France was for a Euro 2008 qualifier, when James McFadden's memorable goal secured a famous win for Alex McLeish's side. France will also play Cameroon on 30 May in Nantes. The 27-year-old, who has 11 tries in 12 internationals for Australia, has been named in the running back rotation. He told www.49ers.com: "I am over the moon, I've never felt so alive." Former British discus thrower Lawrence Okoye was one of the players the 49ers cut from their roster. The British discus record holder swapped the track for gridiron after the 2012 Olympics in London and has spent the past two seasons with the five-time Super Bowl winners. Parramatta Eels full-back Hayne was voted Australia National Rugby League's best player last year. He added: "I'm blessed and honoured to be a part of the 49ers franchise." San Francisco coach Jim Tomsula said: "Making an NFL roster is an outstanding accomplishment, period. But obviously his situation is unique. "The odds of an American who grows up in this game playing in the NFL is astronomical. Now you're talking about a guy who wasn't raised in this game and has made it. "He's by no means a finished product but the type of person he is and the approach that he takes, he's a guy that we want here. "It should be a celebration in Australia. I do understand the magnitude and that it's huge." On the subject of Okoye's release, Tomsula said: "Lawrence hasn't played a lot of football. "When you have a guy in that situation, it gives him a better opportunity [to find a team]. I will say what he's done in two-and-a-half years is remarkable." Second-year pro Carlos Hyde is likely to start at running back for the 49ers, while Reggie Bush is expected to feature heavily on passing downs, with Hayne and fellow rookie Mike Davis competing for carries in relief. 8 January 2016 Last updated at 06:48 GMT Holosonics says its sound-beaming technology means someone could also watch TV in bed without keeping their partner awake as only the watcher need hear the audio. The catch is that it costs about $1,000 (£685), making it an expensive alternative to a pair of headphones. Cristofer Osden, the firm's technical sales manager, explained how it works to the BBC's North America technology reporter Dave Lee. Read and watch more from CES and follow the BBC team covering the event on Twitter. Photographer Fellipe Abreu and reporter Luiz Felipe Silva cycled down the steep road and chronicled the sheer drops and spectacular views. Cyclists and their bikes are taken by bus to La Cumbre at a height of 4,700m (15,420ft). From here, the peaks of nearby mountains such as the Huayaina Potosi, in the Cordillera Central, Bolivia's central mountain range, are clearly visible. The route in the Andes near the city of La Paz has become a favourite with mountain bikers as for a stretch of 66km it is almost entirely downhill, descending a total of 3,500m. In places it is so steep, cyclists can reach a maximum speed of more than 50km/h (31mph). For the the first 31km, the road, officially known as Camino a los Yungas, is paved. The main danger here are the big lorries which regularly use it and, despite the hairpin bends, drive at high speed. Further on, the road becomes little more than a dirt track. This unpaved stretch is the one which gave the road its reputation of being one of the most dangerous in the world. During the 1990s, an average of 300 people died on this road a year. The worst single accident happened in the 1980s, when a bus plunged 300m, killing more than 100 people. When a vehicle comes off the road here, the drops are sheer and deep, offering little chance of survival for the passengers. Simple crosses mark the spots where people have died. Heavy lorries leave little space for other road users and skid dangerously on the loose soil. The road's reputation for danger predates these accidents, though. Even in the 19th Century, when it was used to transport goods from the city of La Paz to the town of Coroico, merchants feared this stretch of road. Highwaymen used the narrow path to ambush merchants and rob them of their goods, often killing them in the process. The most infamous highwayman was Salvador Sea, who was captured and condemned to death by firing squad in 1870. In 2007, a new road linking La Paz and Coroico was inaugurated. The new stretch is used for vehicles travelling uphill, while the old "death road" is used to travel downhill, making both roads less crowded. After almost half a century of isolation, the country's economy has slowly been opening up over the past few years - the government has relaxed rules on trade and investment, and in some sectors made it easier to do business. But the political uncertainty has still got many businesses waiting on the sidelines ahead of the elections. Walk down the streets of Yangon, Myanmar's commercial capital, and it is easy to see how the country is in the midst of a massive economic transition. Locals tell me that just a few years ago, when Myanmar was still closed off from the rest of the world, there were barely any cars on the streets. But now imported vehicles jam up the roads, and Western-style restaurants and shops line the crowded boulevards. Another statistic that's often thrown around is how cheap mobile phone SIM cards now are - just a few years ago one could set you back around $2,000 (£1,300). Now you only have to shell out $1.50 - and it looks like everyone has a mobile phone here. And businesses are benefiting from this new-found consumerism. "I feel the difference when I walk down the streets," Sandeep Kohli, the chief executive of Unilever in Myanmar, told me as he showed me around one of the small stores that sells the company's products. "I see a big difference in the kinds of products we sell - we have more premium sachets that are being sold, and people are yearning for better quality things." But while there's a lot of opportunity - Myanmar is set to be the fastest-growing nation in the region this year - investing in this country is not for the faint hearted. Unilever knows this all too well. Back in the late 90s, it was one of the companies that entered the country during a brief opening in Myanmar's history - but when the nation was shut down again by the military government, Unilever was kicked out. That uncertainty still clouds the minds of many who may want to invest in Myanmar. According to the World Bank, it is the most difficult country in the world to start a business in. And although hundreds of foreign companies have set up in Myanmar since it first started opening up, some sanctions remain - and finding a local partner can be tough, given that there are a number of individuals who are still on a US blacklist. Eric Rose, an American lawyer experienced the challenges of doing business here first-hand. He almost pulled out of Myanmar this year because of the difficulties in the country. Much of the economy is still controlled by the army, and powerful and well connected business tycoons. "Coming to Myanmar today is not an easy proposition," he told me. "You can be quite challenged in being able to penetrate into areas by the military or by the cronies." But the opportunities here are still drawing foreign investors to this country. And nowhere is that more evident than at the Kentucky Fried Chicken in Yangon. It only opened two weeks ago, but already the store is packed - filled with Myanmar's aspirational middle classes. There's no doubt that this is a market full of potential, but only if you have an appetite for risk. Caterpillar saw a quarterly sales rise of 9.6%, while McDonald's posted its highest comparable sales growth in five years. Both companies rose more than 4.7%. The Dow Jones rose 0.47% to 21,613.43, while the wider S&P 500 index added 0.29% to 2,477.08. The tech-focused Nasdaq index was up 0.02% at 6,412.17. The Nasdaq was weighed down by Alphabet, Google's parent company, which saw share prices fall after it reported its earnings. But the Dow and S&P 500 reached another set of records. The gains occurred across a variety of sectors, led by energy and financial stocks. The healthcare sector was among those posting losses, after the US Senate voted to begin the debate on another health care reform bill, extending uncertainty for the industry. Caterpillar, which makes heavy farming and construction machinery, is viewed as a bellwether stock for the economy because of its links to other industries. The firm's stock price climbed nearly 6% after the company told investors it expects sales to come in higher than previously forecast, largely due to demand in China and North America. The deal makes Micro Focus one of the UK's biggest tech companies, with total annual revenues of $4.5bn (£3.4bn). It is acquiring assets from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), including former UK tech champion Autonomy which HP bought in an ill-fated deal in 2011. Micro Focus was promoted to the FTSE 100 last week, replacing ARM after it was bought by Japan's Softbank. A string of acquisitions has turned Micro Focus, based in Berkshire, England, from being a relatively small player to being worth over £5bn, with revenues doubling in 2015. Shares in Micro Focus closed 14.5% higher at £22.38 after jumping as much as 21%, making it the biggest riser on the FTSE 100. The rise and rise of Micro Focus Kevin Loosemore, Micro Focus executive chairman, said the deal marked a significant milestone for the company. Mr Loosemore said he approached Hewlett Packard Enterprise in February about a deal and was not put off by the market turbulence that followed the Brexit vote in the UK. HPE has more than 50,000 customers including many of the biggest US companies. We are accustomed to headlines bemoaning another UK industrial champion falling to a foreign predator. This morning the tide, if only briefly, is flowing the other way. Micro Focus, a fast-growing technology firm based in Newbury, Berkshire, is merging with a division of the original Silicon Valley titan, Hewlett-Packard. Although the combination will have a slim majority of shareholders from the US company, this is a British takeover. The new Micro Focus will keep its listing on the London Stock Exchange, and the management will be British. The new entity should have a stock market value north of £10bn - about twice the market cap of Sainsburys. While it is tempting to see this as a swallow that might herald a golden summer of takeovers by ambitious British companies, it has more to do with the weakness of an ageing tech giant rather than a resurgence of appetite on this side of the Atlantic. Hewlett-Packard is rightly credited with having founded Silicon Valley, nurturing a string of high-tech entrepreneurs and technology companies that went on to conquer the world. In 1968, it put the first personal computer on sale - a snip at $5,000. Only two years ago it still employed 210,000 people; after today's deal, that number falls to 50,000. For Hewlett-Packard it is part of a dramatic downsizing from having been a giant of the computer industry with annual revenues of more than $100bn. Under chief executive Meg Whitman the group has been stripped down to what she believes is its core strengths. HPE was one part of Hewlett-Packard which split into two last year. The other part, HP Inc, focuses on computers and printers. The software spinoff follows HPE's announcement of the sale of its business services division to CSC for $8.5bn. "We are taking another important step in achieving the vision of creating a faster-growing, higher-margin, stronger cash flow company well positioned for our customers and for the future," said Ms Whitman. The sale is also being seen as a way for Hewlett-Packard to finally shed itself of its ill-fated purchase of Autonomy. After the takeover, Hewlett-Packard wrote off about three-quarters of Autonomy's value, claiming that "accounting misrepresentations" had led it to overpay for the firm. Autonomy denied that, and a slew of legal action then followed. Its founder, Mike Lynch, told the Financial Times that the deal "was a good thing". "They can't really screw it up any more than it was. Hopefully there are still some gems in there," he told the paper. He attended a service at St Peter and St Paul church in the capital Cairo with Coptic Christian leader Pope Tawadros II. The Pope's visit comes at a time when Egypt's Copts are facing an increased threat from extremist groups. Just three weeks ago, suicide bombers struck two other Coptic churches, killing a further 45 people. Pope Francis had earlier urged an end to the funding of groups that promote violence, an act which could not be committed in the name of God, he said. During a speech at al-Azhar University, a key centre of Sunni Islamic learning, which aimed to improving Christian-Muslim dialogue, the pontiff said religious leaders were "duty-bound" to unmask such violence. He also condemned the "rise of demagogic forms of populism", adding it was essential" to "block the flow of money and weapons" bound for those who promote violence "which purports to be carried out in the name of the sacred". The recent rise of populism, he said, was detrimental to worldwide peace and stability. "It is disconcerting to note that, as the concrete realities of people's lives are increasingly ignored in favour of obscure machinations, demagogic forms of populism are on the rise," the pontiff said. Before the 27-hour visit - the first papal trip to Cairo in 20 years - he said he was travelling as a "messenger of peace". The visit came as the Egyptian branch of so-called Islamic State (IS) put Christians under increased threat, describing them as its "favourite prey". Coptic Christians - who make up 10% of the country's mainly Muslim population - have been particularly targeted. The majority of the Copts are Orthodox, with less than 150,000 of them Catholic. IS said it was behind the Palm Sunday bombings, as well as the St Peter and St Paul church attack. Hundreds of Egyptian Christians fled northern Sinai earlier this year in the wake of at least seven killings by suspected Islamist militants. The 80-year-old Pope - leader of the world's 1.3 billion Catholics - is in Egypt as a guest of Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand imam of the 1,000-year-old seat of Islamic learning, al-Azhar. The conference on Friday forms part of efforts to improve relations after Egyptian Muslim leaders cut ties over comments made by Pope Francis's predecessor, Pope Benedict. In a message ahead of the trip, Francis said he wanted the visit to be "a witness of my affection, comfort and encouragement for all the Christians of the Middle East" and "a message of brotherhood and reconciliation with all the children of Abraham, particularly the Muslim world". A three-month state of emergency is in place in the wake of the Palm Sunday bombings, and security has been boosted around churches. But many Copts say the government should have done more to protect them, and say they are also under pressure from sectarian tensions and long-standing discrimination. More about the Coptic Orthodox Church Wales' Lydiate, 28, collided with team-mate Aaron Jarvis in a 12-7 win over Newport Gwent Dragons on 1 January. But Ospreys have registered scrum-half Rhys Webb in their European squad in place of young wing Dafydd Howells. Webb - who has not played since injuring a foot while playing for Wales on 5 September - is not expected to play against Exeter, but is eligible. Ospreys are hopeful that Webb will return by early February. Fly-half Dan Biggar and hooker Scott Baldwin, who both left the pitch with dead legs during the win over Clermont last Friday, are said to be ready for Sunday's game. However, on Lydiate's fitness, backs coach Gruff Rees said he was "touch and go". "We have to do what's right, despite the magnitude of the game," Rees added. A win against Exeter would secure Ospreys' passage to the quarter-finals.

The five-time Grand Slam winner, 30, has been given a wildcard for the event in June having fallen down the world rankings after a 15-month drugs ban. The LTA will not pay the Russian an appearance fee. "This wasn't a decision we took lightly and not everyone will agree with it," said LTA chief Michael Downey. Some may question the moral compass of this decision. We do not Sharapova was banned after testing positive for heart disease drug meldonium at the 2016 Australian Open, though the Court of Arbitration for Sport found she was not an "intentional doper". Men's world number one Andy Murray and several female players have said those returning from drugs bans should not be given wildcard entries to tournaments. In a letter to LTA staff and other senior figures in British tennis, Downey was more explicit in his reasoning as to why Sharapova was given a wildcard. "Some may question the moral compass of this decision. We do not," he added. "She made a mistake that we do not condone. She has paid the price through her 15-month ban and now can return to action. "We did not take this decision lightly, but - like all other WTA events before ours - have granted her a wildcard so our Birmingham event can benefit British fans who can take in her matches on home soil." Sharapova, who won the title in Birmingham in 2004 and 2005, said: "I am really excited to be coming back to Birmingham this year to play on the grass as part of my build-up to Wimbledon and I thank the LTA for this opportunity." British number one Johanna Konta, world number one Angelique Kerber, Garbine Muguruza, Agnieszka Radwanska and Simona Halep will also be competing in Birmingham. BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller From a commercial point of view, this is good business. Sharapova has also signed up for next year without the LTA having to pay appearance fees - which are regularly offered to attract the big names to non-mandatory events. Sharapova's signature is seen as a major coup within the LTA. Some staff are unhappy with the decision, but there has also been plenty of back slapping in celebration. It is a hard-nosed business decision to try and boost ticket sales at an event which suffers through competition with the ATP event at the Queen's Club in the same week. Downey says he "does not question the moral compass of the decision", but the LTA is the sport's governing body in the UK. Contrast this call with the one made on Tuesday by the French federation, which decided it would be inappropriate to invite Sharapova to Roland Garros as it would undermine their anti-doping message. And by offering a wildcard to Sharapova, someone else - quite possibly a British player - will be denied an opportunity. Naomi Broady may have been that beneficiary. She would be the first to admit she is not as big a draw as Sharapova, but has been in the top 100 for much of the past 12 months. The Alan Turing Institute will focus on new ways of collecting, organising and analysing large sets of data - commonly known as big data. The government will provide £42m over five years for the project. Universities and other interested parties will be able to bid for the funding to set up the institute. Turing received a posthumous royal pardon last year, following a conviction for homosexual activity. He worked at Bletchley Park during World War Two, and his work helped accelerate Allied efforts to read German naval messages enciphered with the Enigma machine. He also contributed some more fundamental work on code-breaking, which was only released to public scrutiny in April 2012. In 1952 he was convicted for gross indecency, following which he was chemically castrated. He had been arrested after having an affair with a 19-year-old Manchester man. The conviction meant he lost his security clearance and had to stop the code-cracking work that had proved vital to the Allies in World War Two. A pardon was granted in December 2013 under the royal prerogative of mercy after a request by Justice Minister Chris Grayling. Delivering his Budget speech in the House of Commons, the Chancellor, George Osborne, said: "In my maiden speech here in this House, I spoke of Alan Turing, the code-breaker who lived in my constituency, who did more than almost any other single person to win the war, and who was persecuted for his sexuality by the country he helped save. "I am delighted that he has finally received a posthumous royal pardon. "Now, in his honour, we will found the Alan Turing Institute to ensure Britain leads the way again in the use of big data and algorithm research. "I am determined that our country is going to out-compete, out-smart and out-do the rest of the world." The government said that big data "can allow businesses to enhance their manufacturing processes, target their marketing better, and provide more efficient services". The think tank Policy Exchange said that the institute was a good idea but government needed to make more use of big data itself. Former skipper Isobel Joyce hit 12 boundaries in an unbeaten 62 as Ireland romped to victory with 14 overs left. The tourists had set a target of 143 from their 50 overs, but Ireland replied with 146-3. It was a first-ever success for the Irish over South Africa, who had already won the series 3-0. Joyce shared an unbroken fourth wicket stand of 78 with teenager Gaby Lewis (27 not out), after the experienced Clare Shillington (28) had given the Irish a positive start in their run chase. Earlier, three wickets apiece for leg-spinner Ciara Metcalfe (3-27) and vice-captain Kim Garth (3-27) saw South Africa dismissed for 143 in blustery conditions. Andrie Steyn top scored for the Proteas with 43, while Chloe Tryon (30) and Laura Wolvaardt (20) were also among the runs. The Irish attack never relinquished their grip on proceedings, with Lucy O'Reilly, Louise McCarthy and Gaby Lewis also among the wickets. Local media said the woman checked her husband's mobile phone after becoming suspicious he was having an affair. The husband complained to the police and his wife was prosecuted under a cybercrime law, Gulf News reported. The unnamed woman - an Arab expatriate in the UAE - was fined 150,000 dirhams (£28,000; $41,000), the report said. She admitted to the court that she had accessed his phone without permission and transferred photos to her device, her lawyer told Gulf News. The lawyer, Eman Sabt, said the couple were in their 30s and of Arab origin, but gave no other information. Jonathan Walters superbly struck the Irish ahead on 28 minutes only to produce an extraordinary miss from two yards after Jose Gimenez had levelled. Gimenez's goal came after an unwise dash off his line by Darren Randolph. Cyrus Christie restored the Irish lead on 51 although his effort appeared an attempted cross before sub James McClean lashed in a late third goal. The Uruguayans were without Luis Suarez while in-form Paris St Germain striker Edinson Cavani lasted only 11 minutes as he was forced off following a challenge from Burnley's Kevin Long, making his first start for the Irish. Martin Cacares also headed against the Irish woodwork but the home side were good value for their win as Walters contrived to hit the crossbar from two yards just before the break with the goal gaping. Bournemouth's Harry Arter produced an excellent performance in the Republic's midfield with right-back Christie proving an effective replacement for injured skipper Seamus Coleman as the Irish ended a run of two successive defeats following reverses against Iceland and Mexico. Randolph came off at half-time after his ill-advised attempt to catch an out-swinging Carlos Sanchez free-kick allowed Atletico Madrid's Gimenez to float a header into the net and replacement Republic keeper Keiren Westwood made a fine second-half save to deny the Uruguayan goalscorer a second. Republic manager Martin O'Neill made eight changes from Thursday's chastening 3-1 defeat by the Mexicans in New Jersey with Randolph, Christie and Shane Duffy the only players retained. With influential performers Walters, Robbie Brady and Jeff Hendrick recalled, it quickly became evident that this was going to be a much-improved Republic display. Arter was also an all-action presence both offensively and in terms of tracking back and his performance must put him in the frame to start against Austria, with Wes Hoolahan now possibly under pressure for a midfield jersey. Walters curled a brilliant opening goal from just outside the box on 28 minutes for his 13th international strike as the Uruguay defence stood off. However, Uruguay were quickly on terms as Gimenez punished Randolph's charge off his line moments after Cacares had headed against the Irish woodwork. Walters will surely take an unmerciful ribbing from his team-mates for his incredible miss from two yards on 43 minutes after Brady had hooked back a deep Christie cross into an otherwise empty six-yard box. However, the Irish were back in front six minutes after the restart as another Christie cross flew all the way to the net with centre-back Sebastian Coates' hapless attempt to clear appearing to confuse keeper Esteban Conde. At the other end, Sheffield Wednesday's Westwood advanced his claims for inclusion next weekend as he pushed away Gimenez's 68th-minute header before McClean surged clear of the Uruguayan defence and hammered past Conde 10 minutes later. Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill: "I was very pleased (with the performance) I must admit. I think the two games, this one tonight, and the game against Mexico will really have helped us for the Austria match. "Cyrus Christie is doing fantastically well considering he is trying to replace an iconic figure in Seamus Coleman." The Republic face a crucial home World Cup qualifier against Austria in Dublin next Sunday. Martin O'Neill side's are level on points with Group C leaders Serbia, with both Wales and Austria four points off the pace at the halfway point in the campaign. Uruguay, meanwhile, face Italy in a friendly in Nice on Wednesday while their next World Cup qualifier is at home to Argentina on 31 August. The Uruguayans are third in the South American group and on course to qualify for Russia but their qualification is by no means secured. Match ends, Republic of Ireland 3, Uruguay 1.

Many people face paying tens of thousands of pounds in income tax, said the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS). From Easter Monday, anyone over the age of 55 will be free to cash in Defined Contribution (DC) pension savings. But apart from a tax-free lump sum of 25%, they will be liable for income tax on the remainder. If the sum being taken out - when added to annual income - exceeds £42,386, they will pay tax at the higher rate of 40%. "Do watch out," said Paul Johnson, director of the independent think-tank IFS. "If you can keep your income below the higher rate threshold, you're going to end up paying less tax than if you take it in a big lump." The Treasury, he said, is hoping to benefit to the tune of £0.5bn in 2015/16, partly because some people will be caught in the tax trap. By 2018/19 it expects to raise an extra £1bn, as a result of people cashing in their pensions. One of those who was unaware of the full tax implications is Bill Miller, a 61 year-old former local government worker from South London. He is considering withdrawing the full £125,000 he has saved in his pension. But since he already has an income of £31,000 from other sources, he faces a one-off tax bill of £43,500. Even allowing for 25% of his windfall being tax free, he would move into the higher rate tax band. And since his income for the year would be over £124,000, he would also lose all his personal allowance - the amount you can earn before you pay tax. That is because, under current tax rules, an individual loses a £1 of their personal allowance for every £2 net of tax that they earn above £100,000. "That's news to me," he told the BBC. "It's a shock. I've been saving for my pension all these years, and I don't want to lose it. And there's a danger that I could - without realising." But if Mr Miller were to spread the withdrawals over five years, he would only pay £9,303 in tax, according to calculations by the accountancy firm Blickrothenberg. Yet many may sympathise with Bill's lack of detailed tax knowledge. A survey commissioned by Sanlam Wealth Management suggests that 85% of over 55s are unaware they will face any tax bill when liberating their pensions. A Treasury spokesman pointed out they have consistently stated that 25% of people's pensions is tax free and the rest is taxed at the marginal rate. Moreover, under the present system, pension withdrawal incurs 55% tax. The Pension Wise website clearly warns of the tax concerns involved, he added. The incident happened at about 20:00 GMT on Saturday at Windmill Avenue in the town. Police later attended the scene. They said no arrests were made and the man would be interviewed later. Aleksey Troshkin won the event for the third straight year earlier this month, just outside his own course record. But, following allegations of state-sponsored doping, the IAAF had banned all Russian athletes from competing outside of their homeland. Troshkin may lose the title if he is found to have breached the ban. An International Association of Athletics Federations spokesman told BBC Sport: "We are investigating now. We have asked the organisers to send the full information we need." While there is no suggestion Troshkin has taken performance-enhancing drugs, if he was ineligible he will be stripped of the title, meaning American runner-up Chris Zablocki would be declared the winner. Race organisers 3D Events said in a statement: "We are aware of the speculation surrounding the Jersey Marathon 2016 male winner Aleksey Troshkin and are currently awaiting for an official ruling from the IAAF as they consider his case. "We are working with UK Athletics and the IAAF and will provide an updated statement once we have further information." James Weatherup, 59, told a jury that intercepting voicemails was part of the "day-to-day" life at the publication. The ex-news editor at the now defunct paper also claimed phone hacking was discussed at editorial conferences. Mr Coulson, 47, denies lying while giving evidence at the 2010 perjury trial of Tommy Sheridan in Glasgow. Mr Weatherup was giving evidence on the seventh day of the trial at the High Court in Edinburgh. He told the court that he was appointed to the post of news editor in 2004 when Mr Coulson was the editor. The witness pleaded guilty to a charge of phone hacking in 2013 and was given a four month suspended sentence, the court heard. Mr Weatherup told the court that, a few days into his new role at the paper, he was asked to cut its budget and began to question a payment made to private investigator Glenn Mulcaire's company, Nine Consultancy. The salary was about £92,000 - more than the reporters were paid, the witness told the court. Asked by advocate depute Richard Goddard, prosecuting, if he inquired who was getting the money, he replied: "I was told it was a private investigator called Glenn Mulcaire and I had to work with him." He said managing editor Stuart Kuttner made the comment to him. On the payment to the consultancy, which Mr Weatherup described as a "huge sum", he said: "I didn't see the point of having a private investigator being paid full-time for things. "If you needed things done I thought it would be better and cheaper to be done ad hoc." The witness said he later raised the issue with Mr Coulson in his office and told him "we didn't need Glenn Mulcaire on the payroll". Mr Weatherup said Mr Coulson told him to "see Stuart". The witness insisted "there was no appetite to get rid of him (Mulcaire) by senior management". Mr Weatherup said he himself was not aware initially but soon found out that Mr Mulcaire "was a phone hacker" and had used his services 137 times, but not all for phone hacking. Mr Goddard asked Mr Weatherup: "From what you yourself witnessed, did Mr Coulson appear to be aware or not that Mr Mulcaire was hacking phones?" "Hacking phones was systematic at the News of the World," he replied. "Did Mr Coulson appear or not to know that Mr Mulcaire was hacking phones?" "Andy would have known that Mulcaire was hacking phones," the witness replied. The journalist also said that he told Mr Coulson that stories had been obtained from hacking phones. Telling the court that he would make a telephone gesture with his hands, Mr Weatherup added: "I would have used a signal with my hands when Andy asked me where a story had came from." Mr Goddard was also asked if Mr Coulson would have known about how stories were sourced and said: "All editors are concerned about sourcing, yeah. He needed to know where a story had come from." When Mr Coulson's advocate, Murdo Macleod QC, asked Mr Weatherup whether his evidence was "nonsense," the journalist replied: "I have no reason to lie. I feel sorry for Andy. I feel for his wife. I feel sorry for his children. I have no reason to tell lies." Later, when Mr Goddard asked Mr Weatherup how he felt about claims that he had lied in his evidence, the former executive added that he had come to court reluctantly. He added: "I would say it was a gross slur on my character and it's not true. "I have not come here to lie. I have come here to tell the truth reluctantly. "I don't want to be here. I want put all of this behind me but it just comes back to haunt me." The charge against Mr Coulson alleges that he lied in court when he appeared as a witness at Mr Sheridan's perjury trial and that before August 2006 he did know about phone hacking, did know or know of a private investigator Glenn Mulcaire and did know about payments by the newspaper to corrupt police officers. The trial before Lord Burns continues. Gold and silver for Turkey in the final race - the men's seniors - put them just ahead of Britain, who were helped to team gold by Callum Hawkins' bronze. Steph Twell's earlier sixth saw Britain win team silver in the women's race. Britain won team gold in the women's under-20 and under-23 races, and bronze in the men's under-20 and under-23s. And there was individual medal success for Harriet Knowles-Jones, Mahamed Mahemed and Alice Wright. Find out about how to get into running with our special guide. Knowles-Jones won bronze in the women's U20 race, Mahemed took bronze in the men's U20s and Wright finished third in the women's U23s, with Charlotte Taylor taking fourth. But it was not quite enough to beat Turkey, who finished with three golds, two silvers and one bronze to Britain's three golds, one silver and six bronzes. Turkey's 19-year-old Kenya-born Yasemin Can, the 10,000m and 5,000m European champion, won the women's senior race ahead of compatriot Meryem Akda, who was also born in Kenya. Karoline Bjerkeli Grovdal of Norway was third, with Twell the highest-placed Briton in sixth place, Gemma Steel 12th and Katrina Wootton 16th. Two Kenya-born Turks also dominated the men's senior race, with Aras Kaya taking gold and Polat Kemboi Arikan silver ahead of Hawkins, while GB team captain Andrew Butchart came fourth and Andy Vernon fifth. The 25-year-old's first-half volley added to skipper Jack King's header 10 minutes earlier, while Jobi McAnuff made it three in the 46th minute. Pompey ended the match with 10 men as Christian Burgess was sent off for a second yellow with just 15 minutes remaining. Boro took the lead in the 16th minute when Luke Wilkinson's spectacular long-range effort struck the crossbar, leaving King with a simple header from six yards. It was 2-0 soon after as Godden sneaked in behind the Pompey defence to calmly volley home Charlie Lee's lofted cross, and McAnuff added a third early in the second half. Burgess made matters worse after picking up his second yellow for a clumsy challenge on Godden late on, while Conor Chaplin missed a penalty late on. Victory moves Stevenage to fourth in the table, just four points adrift of third-placed Pompey in the automatic promotion spots. Report supplied by the Press Association.

Cultural experiences and opportunities were being closed off to youngsters, especially those from poor backgrounds, the Warwick University report said. There had been a significant decline in the number of state schools offering arts subjects taught by specialist teachers, it added. The government said the arts was a key part of the national curriculum. The report, the Warwick Commission on the Future of Cultural Values, found that between 2003 and 2013 there was a 50% drop in GCSE entries for design and technology, 23% for drama and 25% for other craft-related subjects. In 2012-13, only 8.4% of students had combined arts and science at AS level, it said. It cited figures showing that since 2010, the number of arts teachers in schools had fallen by up to 11%, teaching hours and teachers for design and technology were down 11%, drama teacher levels had fallen by 8% and teaching hours for the subject, including hours taught by non-specialists, had reduced by 4%. The number of art teachers had also fallen by 4%, while the subject had seen a 6% decline in teaching hours, it added. The research also suggested that the cost of young people taking part in some extra-curricular activities was putting them out of reach for low-income families. Researchers said that without action, there was a risk of creating a "two-tier" system, in which only the most advantaged youngsters had access to a wide range of experiences. The report, into the value of culture in modern British society, was drawn up by a special commission involving cultural leaders and academic experts. It found that youngsters born into poor families with few qualifications were the least likely to work and be successful in cultural and creative industries. These children were also less likely to take an interest in and appreciate the arts as part of the school curriculum and have parents who valued public-funded arts and heritage. The study also cited recent research that found while 76% of parents had said that their children regularly took part in arts clubs and cultural experiences outside of school, there were significant costs associated with them. "There are major concerns that the educational system is not focusing on the future needs of the cultural and creative industries and the broader needs for innovation and growth in the UK," the commission said. "There is a general agreement within the cultural and creative industries, and industry more broadly, that the government's focus on science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem) should include the arts (Steam). But the commission said ministers were "obsessed with a siloed subject-based curriculum" and early specialisation in arts or science. "We need creative scientists as much as we need artists who understand the property of materials and the affordances of new technology," it said. Warwick University researcher, and commission member Prof Jonathan Neelands, said: "Without educational intervention, we are in danger of allowing a two-tier creative and cultural ecosystem in which the most advantaged in social and economic terms are also the most advantaged in benefiting economically, socially and personally from the full range of experiences and value in that prevailing system." A Department for Education spokesman said arts subjects were statutory in primary schools and up to the start of GCSEs. And he highlighted that the number of pupils taking music; and art and design GCSE had risen between 2013 to 2014. "As part of our plan for education, we are ensuring all pupils experience a broad and balanced curriculum which will prepare them for life in modern Britain - the arts are a key part of this. "We are clear that arts education should be every bit as rigorous as the rest of the school curriculum, and we have strengthened the national curriculum in these subjects and reformed the music and art GCSEs and A-levels to make sure this is the case." The DfE added that it was providing £109m for 2014-15 to support music, art and cultural education projects - £17m more than the previous year. They were driving at 81mph through a 30mph zone in an unmarked police vehicle with no sirens or flashing lights in December 2011. The officers were following a car that later crashed killing a woman passenger. The Police Ombudsman found no causal link between the way the police car was driven and the woman's death. The woman who died was 20-year-old Claire Kelly from Dungiven, County Londonderry. The driver of the car in which Ms Kelly was a rear seat passenger pleaded guilty to a series of offences. He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and causing death by careless driving with excess alcohol. He was jailed for three years and banned from driving for five years. The accident happened on 11 December 2011 after officers noticed a Renault Clio perform a handbrake turn in the village of Feeny and drive off at speed in the direction of Claudy. Police gave chase but the police driver said he quickly abandoned the pursuit given the speed at which the Clio was being driven. He said he lost sight of it not far from Feeny. CCTV footage examined by a Police Ombudsman investigator suggested there was a 12-second gap between the two cars just before the crash that happened on the outskirts of Claudy. The driver of the Clio and another passenger, the boyfriend of the woman who died, provided statements to the Police Ombudsman's investigation. The driver said he panicked and fled from police as he had been drinking and was uninsured. He said he touched the brakes as he tried to negotiate a right-hand bend and felt the car "wiggle" before it crashed. He told the investigator he had not heard sirens but at one stage saw blue flashing lights in the windscreen of the police car. The driver of the police car, a trained advanced police driver and pursuit driver, denied any wrongdoing when interviewed by a Police Ombudsman investigator. Although he admitted driving through Claudy at speed, without sirens or flashing lights, he said he had continually assessed the situation for any dangers. Police guidelines require officers to inform the police control room when a car fails to stop and seek authority to pursue it. He, and the other officer in the car, failed to inform the police control room about the pursuit. The driver said the pursuit ended before they left Feeny. The other officer said they had not been in pursuit at any stage. An examination of the unmarked police car also raised concerns that electronic equipment mounted in the vehicle could have impaired the driver's view and had the potential to cause serious injury if the vehicle's airbags were activated. Video recording equipment within the police car was also found to have had two separate faults and no footage of the incident was recorded. Police Ombudsman Dr Michael Maguire said that driving at 81mph in a 30mph zone could in some circumstances be justified, but pointed out that CCTV footage had shown there to be other cars and pedestrians in the area at the time. He said: "In this case, it should have been obvious that driving at this speed, through a small built up town, without either emergency blue warning lights or sirens, in an unmarked black-coloured vehicle, at about 1.30am when drunken night revellers are likely to be nearby, would have been far below the standard of driving expected of a police officer." Clodagh Dunlop, who is 35 and from Magherafelt, suffered a massive stroke in April and walked out of hospital for the first time on Thursday. It was on her birthday in May that Clodagh started to show signs of breaking free from being locked-in. There is no treatment or cure, and recovery is very rare. Locked-in syndrome affects particular parts of the brain and Clodagh has had to relearn basic bodily functions like breathing and swallowing Her long-term goal is to run four miles as she used to do every day. Clodagh was based as a PSNI officer in Londonderry. It is a role she hopes to return to one day. "I'm immensely excited," she told BBC Radio Foyle. "I have gone from just being able to blink my eyes when I was locked in to taking a few small steps across the threshold at Musgrave. "The staff have become my family and are very special people. "I told the sister in charge that they have all become angels to me. I had a few tears along the way. "I can't even describe what the feeling was like. "When I was admitted they asked me what I wanted to achieve and I said my goal was to walk out of here. "This is the next step of what will be a long journey. I can't wait to begin it." Pulis brought in midfielder Jake Livermore in a £10m move from Hull earlier this month and has until 23:00 GMT on Tuesday to strengthen his squad. "There is such a small pool that we are fishing in," said Pulis. "We're moving forward, but it will take time. We have a budget and we've got to make sure the players are right. We're desperate to bring players in." The Baggies are eighth in the Premier League, but lost in the third round of the FA Cup at home to Championship side Derby County and Pulis said he has missed out on players that he wanted. "We've moved up a level this season," added Pulis. "We are competing against teams like West Ham and Everton but players have gone there instead." West Brom, who sold striker Saido Berahino to Stoke for £12m earlier this month, play away at Middlesbrough in the Premier League on Tuesday (19:45 GMT). Doctors at the Welsh Centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery in Swansea have treated five men for serious burns this year. It is the first time they have seen such injuries from e-cigarettes. Trading standards officers have urged people not to buy cheap products. They said the explosions were probably caused by the e-cigarettes' lithium batteries overheating because of unsafe chargers. Dai Nguyen, burns consultant and plastic surgeon at the burns centre, told BBC Wales' X-Ray programme: "I think the concern is that we haven't seen these cases before so it's all occurred this year. "It is a worry and we were quite surprised really when we saw patients coming in with these sorts of injuries." She said the issue was beginning to be highlighted nationwide. "I think we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. I suspect a lot of A&E departments may also be dealing with these incidents and we're just not aware of them." Of the five men treated at the burns centre, which is based at Morriston Hospital, three had their devices in their trouser pockets when they exploded, causing serious burns to their thighs. Adam Moseley, 31, from Maesteg in Bridgend county, was one of those treated after an e-cigarette battery that he was carrying in his pocket went off suddenly "like a firework" while he was at work on a farm in March. "It was hot, very, very hot," he said. "I just put my hand in my pocket and pulled out the battery. It felt like my leg was still on fire." His large burn - which was 7ins (18cm) in width and 12ins (30cm) in length across his upper leg - meant he could not work for a month and needed regular hospital treatment. "The burn was so deep it damaged the muscle on my leg, I couldn't walk, couldn't do nothing," Mr Moseley added. "You've got to be careful, you've got to be mega, mega careful." Rhys Harries, of Swansea trading standards department, said the problem seemed to lie with people buying cheaper products which might not have been safety tested, such as chargers. He added that the batteries can spontaneously explode when they have been unplugged. "If the battery is knocked quite heavily, discard them," he said. "And if you're charging them don't leave them unattended." The 17-year-old suspect opened fire at Tocqueville high school, in Grasse, at about 12:40 local time (11:40 GMT). More people were injured in the ensuing panic. Anti-terrorist commandos from the elite Raid force were sent to the scene. The suspect, who was reportedly armed with a rifle, two handguns and two hand grenades, was arrested "very quickly" after launching the attack. Education Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem told reporters on Thursday afternoon the suspect was "fragile". "It was a crazy act by a youth who is unstable and fascinated by guns," she said, going on to praise the headmaster's actions during the attack as "heroic". According to Ms Vallaud-Belkacem, the headteacher tried to reason with the gunman, seemingly stopping the rampage in its tracks. "We missed out on the worst," she said. A student had earlier told local newspaper Nice Matin how the headteacher, named by the newspaper as Herve Pizzinat, had remained "cool", continuing to try to calm the suspect down even after he had been shot in the arm. "He kept trying to bring him back to reason," the student said. One student reported hearing four gunshots, while others described the panic in the moments after the attack began. Ten students were treated for shock or minor injuries caused as they tried to flee the shooter, according to the education secretary. No-one was critically hurt. The headteacher had gunshot wounds, while the students were being treated for buckshot wounds. Initial conflicting reports suggested there may have been a second shooter, but it appears this is not the case, although earlier on Thursday interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said they had not ruled it out entirely and were still "searching for a possible second perpetrator". The local prosecutor has confirmed the shooting had "no link" to terrorism. Instead, it is thought the student had bad relations with his classmates. However, President Francois Hollande said France should remain "vigilant" and stay under a state of emergency. Grasse, the capital of France's perfume industry, is about 44km (27 miles) from the city of Nice, where a lorry attack in July killed 86 people. France remains under a state of emergency after a string of deadly attacks in the past 18 months. Some youths were rewarded with extra packets of crisps at Parc Prison's juvenile unit despite poor behaviour, HM Inspectorate of Prisons has said. The watchdog also reported a surge in assaults on staff and a deterioration in safety. Parc director Janet Wallsgrove said training was being reviewed. Inspectors made an unannounced visit to the youth unit, which is operated by the security firm G4S, last December. In a report, it said there had been more than 100 violent incidents in the six months leading up to the inspection of the institution, which can hold up to 64 boys aged under 18. It also found assaults on staff had increased from two to 22 when compared with the six months prior to the previous visit in January 2016. Some staff "did not challenge poor behaviour confidently", such as inmates refusing to return to their cells, inspectors also said. "We observed one incident where boys refused to lock up to allow staff to deal with a difficult situation and they were clearly inciting others returning from education not to lock up either," the report said. "Despite this, they were immediately rewarded with extra bags of crisps served at lunchtime, while vulnerable boys who were afraid to eat communally missed out on this additional snack. "We found no evidence that the boys responsible had been challenged." Three in five of those locked up at the facility reported that they felt "victimised" by staff, while nearly a third indicated that they felt unsafe. Four boys were found to be "self-isolating" for their own protection, the report said. However, the watchdog also found security procedures were "proportionate" and had mitigated the influence of illegal drugs, while work with families was excellent. Chief Inspector of Prisons Peter Clarke warned that "the deterioration in safety and general standards on the unit needed to be reversed". Ms Wallsgrove said work had been under way for some time to review the institution's team, training and structures to look after boys "who are more violent than cohorts we have seen in the past". "These measures are showing encouraging signs and our most recent data for the first three months of 2017 show that violent incidents are down by 10%." She added they would use the recommendations in the report to make more improvements over the coming months. North Devon has the longest average distances between public charging points, according to Department for Transport statistics. The RAC said there was "some way to go" before users would be cured of "range anxiety". The average distance between charging points in England was 3.8 miles (6km). It compares with an average distance between petrol and diesel filling stations of one mile. In North Devon, the average distance between public charging points can be between 18 and 47 miles. Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria has average distances of up to 37 miles (60km). The RAC says the furthest distance between petrol stations in the UK is 19 miles, for drivers in Applecross, West Scotland. However, electric car drivers in Southwark, London, will find a public charging point every 97m (106 yds). There are parts of Manchester and Newcastle-upon-Tyne where the average distance to a charge point is only 193m (211 yds). According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, 17,000 hybrid and electric cars left UK showrooms in March 2016, compared with 1,354 in the same month in 2006. Go Ultra Low, the joint government and car industry campaign to get drivers to switch to electric vehicles, said year-on-year sales were up 23%, with more than 115 electric cars registered every day in the first quarter of 2016, equivalent to one every 13 minutes. 3,904 UK public charging point locations 8,500 UK filling stations 1 mile average distance between filling stations 3.8 miles average distance between charging points 106.41p Price per litre for unleaded petrol 96p Typical cost of charging an electric car RAC spokesman Simon Williams said: "It should be remembered that one of the big benefits of electric vehicles is the ability for motorists to charge up before they leave home. "But once they've left, they currently rely on charging points on major roads and in city centres as it is along these roads where the greatest investment in charging infrastructure has so far taken place. "Coverage away from major roads is still patchy, but that is to be expected given where the greatest number of electric vehicles are likely to be. Having more charging points available will be essential in helping drivers overcome so-called "range anxiety", where they fear running out of power before they can recharge." Poppy Welch, head of Go Ultra Low, said: "Potential electric vehicle (EV) buyers can be encouraged by the fact that there are already more than 10,000 publicly-accessible charge points located across the UK and many more new units are being installed in urban and rural areas in the coming months." Dale Vince, founder of green energy supplier Ecotricity and charging network the Electric Highway, said drivers were getting more miles per charge as technology improved. He said: "In the last couple of years we've seen improvements in charging times; coming down from several hours to 20 minutes - and improvements in vehicle range; from a typical 100 to more like 200 today." Denton County Sheriff Tracy Murphree's controversial post urged Americans to "pay attention" to the Islamic jihadists who "want to kill you". His comments came after a suicide bomber killed 22 people and injured 64 at an Ariana Grande concert in the UK. His remarks quickly drew both praise and outrage online. "I stand behind it," Mr Murphree told a local NBC news affiliate on Tuesday. "We need to be realistic about the world we live in." Mr Murphree wrote on Monday after the attack: "This is what happens when you disarm your citizens. When you open your borders without the proper vetting. "When you allow political correctness to dictate how you respond to an enemy that wants to kill you. "The left tells us we must submit and accept these radical beliefs and bend over backwards to make sure we don't hurt anybody's feelings." "The left wants to cater to the very group that would kill every group they claim to support. Folks this is an enemy hell bent on killing you," he continued. He later wrote: "You better wake up America. While you are distracted by the media and the crying of the left, Islamic Jihadist are among us and want to kill you." His comments came after a suicide bomber killed 22 people, including children, and wounded 64 others outside an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. The viral post quickly attracted hundreds of responses, with some thanking him for "speaking truth" and others accusing him of fear-mongering. Some users also criticised Mr Murphree for using a terrorist attack to promote gun rights. The local Council for Islamic Relations (CAIR) chapter called the post an "Islamaphobic rant". But Mr Murphree pushed back. "A lot of folks want to make it a race issue," he told NBC5. "And to me, it's not a race issue. It's a public safety issue." The sheriff's controversial post was not his first. Last April, while running for office, Mr Murphree was criticised for posting about North Carolina's transgender "bathroom bill". The law banned transgender people from using toilets in accordance with their chosen gender. Mr Murphree suggested he would assault any man who entered the same toilet as his daughter, sparking backlash among the transgender community. He later told the local ABC affiliate WFAA the post "was a mistake". Protesters gathered outside County Hall in Norwich ahead of the meeting at which the plant, in Saddlebow, King's Lynn, was granted planning permission. The incinerator will not be built until it has received the backing of Communities Secretary Eric Pickles. He put a holding notice on the plan on Thursday amid objections by MPs and King's Lynn council. Councillors voted through the proposals at the meeting, with nine in favour, four against and two abstentions. North West Norfolk Conservative MP Henry Bellingham said he was not surprised by the decision, but hoped the government would appoint a planning inspector to make the final decision. "I don't think we got a fair hearing but we will keep fighting," he said. "I am confident of the arguments for it being called in." In planning papers released last week, Mike Jackson, the county council's director of environment, transport and development, backed the plant as a "key proposal" in the treatment of waste. As of last month Mr Pickles had received nearly 4,000 letters urging him to review the planning process, his office said. Norwich City Council and local residents have also condemned the building of the plant since the county council gave the scheme its preliminary backing in March 2011. Campaigners have aired concerns over health, the environment and whether the plant would offer the best solution to the county's waste problems. Planning papers said the incinerator would have "no adverse impacts" on air quality, human health or the environment. However, plans to use new black bin waste disposal technology as alternative to an incinerator have been proposed by West Norfolk councillors, who agreed last week to write up a conditional contract with the scheme's developer. NCC said the plans were an attempt to "disrupt" the Saddlebow scheme. In January, the Saddlebow plant was awarded £91m in private finance (PFI) credits by Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman. Developer Cory Wheelabrator said the incinerator would save the county council taxpayer £200m and divert 250,000 tonnes of waste away from landfill. Darren Henley was speaking after Arts Council England (ACE) published its latest diversity figures. They show that 17% of the workforce in companies that get annual ACE funding are black or minority ethnic - compared with 15% in the population as a whole. But 10% of artistic directors and 8% of chief executives are from a minority. And 9% of chairs of boards are black or minority ethnic. "For change to be real, there needs to be more diversity at the top," Mr Henley said. Current artistic directors who are from a minority include Indhu Rubasingham at the Tricycle Theatre and Madani Younis at the Bush, both in London, and Dawn Walton and Michael Buffong at touring theatre companies Eclipse and Talawa respectively. British actor and director Kwame Kwei-Armah, who moved to the US to run Baltimore's Center Stage, recently said it was "painful" that there were so few "African-Caribbean or African artistic directors and leaders" in the UK. The Arts Council's report said it welcomed the "continued progress" in increasing diversity in the workforce and "will be looking to build on this". But Mr Henley said "we all have to do better" when it comes to disability. Just 4% of staff in the 696 organisations that receive annual funding are disabled - compared with 19% in the wider working population, the report said. Mr Henley said the Arts Council would publish recommendations for venues and other funded companies next year on how to tackle this. The report also said attracting audiences from less affluent social groups would be "a major theme of our future work". Around a third of people who buy tickets for arts events come from the top two socio-economic groups, which account for 24% of the overall population. And 21% of ticket buyers come from the bottom two socio-economic groups - despite the fact that those groups make up 31% of the country. "For many children and young people from minority communities and from the least prosperous parts of our society, the arts aren't a part of life," Mr Henley said. "That exclusion holds back their progress. And this represents a huge waste of our national talent, at a time when we need it more than ever." Of the funded companies with more than 50 permanent staff and which provided staff data, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Cheltenham Festivals reported that 100% of their staff are white. York Museums Trust is on 99%, Opera North has 98%, English National Opera has 97% and the figure for both the Halle Orchestra and City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra is 96%. Mr Henley threatened cultural organisations who did not supply full staff data. "We must be able to present an accurate picture of progress and of problems," he said. "Inevitably, going forward, we will have to look at the funding conditions of those that do not comply." Arts Council England will have invested £11.8m specifically in diversity this year, he added.

The 28-year-old Kenyan said on Twitter it was "sad and disappointing" to miss out on the event, which runs from 4 to 13 August in London. He is the only person to ever run under one minute 41 seconds for the event. He won gold in London at the 2012 Olympics and again in Rio last year. Rudisha said earlier this week he was "excited" to return to London, where he set the 800m world record of one minute 40.91 seconds five years ago. He is ranked only 19th in the world this year, but would have been bidding for a third successive gold medal at the World Athletics Championships. Fellow Kenyan Emmanuel Korir and Botswana's Nijel Amos are expected to battle for the gold in Rudisha's absence. On Thursday, double Olympic sailing gold medallist Sarah Ayton will face the "fear" of riding a horse in front of 25,000 people at the Glorious Goodwood festival. Ayton, one of Britain's 'three blondes in a boat' at the 2004 Games, spoke to BBC Sport's Louise Gwilliam about swapping sailing for the saddle and raising two children in between. With London 2012 on the horizon, she had the opportunity to become the first British woman to win three consecutive Olympic gold medals, and to achieve this on home soil. But the Surrey-born athlete desperately wanted to start a family. With her then husband Nick Dempsey also striving to achieve his own windsurfing gold medal, "something had to give". In 2010, after the birth of their first child Thomas, Ayton decided to put her sailing ambitions on hold. "If I was hungry enough to want gold in London, I would have made it happen," said the 37-year-old. "But at the time I'd already won two gold medals and I wanted to start a family. For me, that was what was important. "I decided I wasn't prepared to run my sailing campaign at 70% and I also wasn't prepared to sacrifice bringing up my son Thomas. "We got to the point in our relationship where one of us had to make a sacrifice. I felt it was time for me to sit back and give Nick the freedom to achieve his dream." Dempsey is Britain's most successful windsurfer with three Olympic medals, but at the time he was battling with the disappointment of a fourth-place finish in Beijing. The 36-year-old desperately wanted to better his bronze from Athens at London and while Sarah gave birth to their second child Oscar in early 2012, Nick continued to pursue his Olympic goal. He went on to take silver in London, but the couple's marriage broke down and they divorced shortly after the Games. "There's no getting away from it, 2012 was a shocking time," she said. "But you realise a lot about yourself and how strong you are. I focused on building another team around me with my parents and friends and realised I could get through some really tough times. "Things break down and I've learnt not to be bitter and twisted but to move forward and focus on being mentally strong. "Seeing people win medals at London 2012 was hard, but I don't have any regret. "I now know how to deal with that feeling of guilt which many people suffer with when making compromises to fulfil their dreams and bring up kids. And it's taught me that I will continue to go on and achieve." As a woman who "loves a challenge", it wasn't long before Sarah's competitive instinct returned and she was once again at the pinnacle of her sport. In 2014 she went back out on the water, to compete in what is described as the 'Formula 1 of sailing' - the Extreme Sailing Series - and was the only female to take part. Her crew contested 11 races a day, over four days of competition, and competed in eight events a year - something she admits was "a lot of travelling for a mother of two". And the following year she won the Female Sailor of the year 2015 - the highest award a sailor can receive. "It was a massive challenge going back into sailing after having both of my boys. "The Extreme Series is basically a stepping stone into the America's Cup. It's very male dominated so that brings with it everything you think it would. "But I learnt my lesson from the tough times in 2010 and 2011 and I built a good team around me - my parents allowed me to do that. "It highlighted the point that I have to keep remaining positive. You make your own opportunities and if an opportunity comes along you just have to grab it." Which is why she finds herself just days away from racing in front of 25,000 people at Goodwood. With her two boys, now aged seven and five, at school, Sarah has "more freedom" and has embarked upon a new challenge - horse racing. Despite only taking up the sport in December, and "never really riding before", she will start in the Magnolia Cup on Ladies' Day at Goodwood on Thursday. "I am taking this as seriously as I did the Olympic Games. But it's the first time in my life I've been scared through sport. "I tried horse riding when I was a child and I just remember being absolutely petrified and I was almost thrown off. I didn't connect at all and I never went back." After 13 hours of instruction, and watching "a bit of a documentary", Sarah was paired up with her horse, Archangel Raphael at Amanda Perrett's racing yard. The first time she got on, Archangel was out of control but the former Olympic athlete managed to stop him dead, and they were declared "a suitable pairing". "You have to have a presence when you're sat on a horse like you do on a boat. You have to be in control and take charge otherwise you'll have a rough ride. "I've had one bad fall where I landed awkwardly and got whiplash. Then I got kicked and thought I'd broken my foot but actually both turned out to be fine. I'm confident on him now." Sarah will line up alongside 11 other amateur female jockeys on the start line for the Magnolia Cup - now in its seventh year. But having come through two Olympic Games, and "extremely tough times", she says she isn't feeling the pressure. "Stood on the podium in Beijing, my feeling was of relief, relief that I hadn't messed up. "You get a bit lost sometimes in Olympic sports and you start to expect, but this has been really genuine. I just want to do it for everyone that has helped me. "Physically, I am in the best shape I've been in since the Beijing Games. It comes down to a 55-second ride after eight months of training. And it's all about the start." Juggling the tacking up, riding and mucking out of Archangel with school pick-ups and drop-offs of her boys Oscar and Thomas has "been stressful" admits Sarah. The mother of two says even staying awake for bath and bed time every night has been a challenge. But she won't take too much time off. When her Magnolia Cup journey comes to an end, Sarah says she will "be looking for something else", and at 38 years old, her days of competing at the highest level are far from over. "I went to Wimbledon this year and saw Venus Williams smashing it around at the age of 37 and I thought 'that's where women are great'. "I am still a full-time mother and it's hard. But it gets easier as they get older and I have time now to think what might be possible. "After being in the mix of it all with children, it takes a bit to reconnect with who you really are. But I'm already trying to think of the next challenge. "I have no idea how good I am at horse racing compared to a professional but I'd be pulled that way for sure. I could see myself forming a relationship with a professional partner in the future." And Tokyo 2020....? "You never know." But Michael Ingle, a 27-year-old physiotherapist living in Surrey, defends his right to participate in the 23 June referendum. He says that as a taxpayer, and a citizen of the Commonwealth, what happens to Britain is important to him and will have ramifications for the wider world well beyond the cliffs of Dover. "It's not just about Britain for me, which is why I've taken an interest in it," Mr Ingle, from Sydney, says. "It's about the West and the stability of this continent." As a hangover from the days of empire, when so-called "British subjects" were included in the parliamentary franchise, Commonwealth citizens resident in the UK without British nationality retain the right to vote in elections. Estimates based on the 2011 census put the number of Commonwealth citizens eligible to vote in the forthcoming referendum at between 894,000 and more than 960,000. They join Irish citizens as the only non-Brits allowed to vote in what David Cameron has called a "once in a generation" decision. This has drawn the ire of groups including Migration Watch UK. Its chair, Lord Green of Deddington, says that "important decisions about Britain should be taken by those who are British citizens and only by them". A petition to parliament signed by more than 40,000 people, meanwhile, has claimed that allowing non-Brits to vote would bias the result towards the Remain side, especially given that the Commonwealth countries of Cyprus and Malta are also in the EU. But regardless of whether one agrees with the voting rules, such claims treat Commonwealth voters as a homogenous bloc of sorts, destined to vote in the same way. This obscures the fact that Commonwealth citizens living in Britain come from a diverse range of 53 countries in all the world's time zones. Voters of even the same age and nationality can have vastly different views on the subject at hand. Take Farhan Samsudin and Zila Fawzi, two young Malaysian women living in London. Farhan, who works in banking, says she will vote Remain on 23 June, despite what she says is the failure of either campaign to provide information on how the "Commonwealth constituency" might be affected by the result. She thinks the UK should strengthen its economic ties with Asian economies like Malaysia and sees membership of the EU as an obstacle in trade negotiations. Yet, with no clear plans presented to her on how a post-EU Britain would approach the world, she says she'll vote to stay. Zila, on the other hand, who is on a British government-funded scholarship, supports an EU exit. Her vote will be pinned on hopes that immigration policy will change in a way that benefits Commonwealth citizens if the UK no longer has to abide by free movement within the EU. "Once they are out of the EU it would be easier, especially for us Malaysians, to come and work here," she says. A postgraduate student at the London School of Economics, Zila is frustrated by the fact that any EU citizen is allowed to work in the UK, while highly educated Commonwealth citizens like her are turned away. On this point, Farhan chimes in. "The British government sponsors brilliant minds like her but they don't give any leeway for her to work here," she says, shaking her head. "It's a real waste." Avenues for Commonwealth citizens to migrate to the UK have become increasingly slim since the abolition of working holiday visas (now limited to just a handful of countries under the Youth Mobility Scheme) and the post-study work visa, which allowed students to stay on for two years after the end of their course. Foreign students from outside the EU, many of whom are from the Commonwealth, now have just four months to find a job if they want to stay. The recent introduction of a £35,000 income threshold for non-EU skilled workers to settle in the UK in a bid to reduce net migration has led to further frustration and the spectre of mass deportations. Yet, while it would seem as though pro-Brexit campaigners could capitalise on the prickly issue of immigration in order to draw Commonwealth voters to their side, the issue is not so clear-cut. Given that some of the constituencies that the Leave campaign are courting harbour anti-immigrant sentiment, making a pitch to Commonwealth voters to back an EU exit based on immigration potential could see it take a hit elsewhere, says Ralph Buckle, director of the Commonwealth Exchange think tank. "Everyone has this number of what they think the right level of immigration is. It depends whether that number is high enough to include an increase [from] the Commonwealth." The government's target of getting net migration under 100,000 annually also hovers ominously over any suggestion that more places could go to Commonwealth citizens if Brexit eventuated. The official Vote Leave campaign has said Britain could have a "fairer" migration policy that would "make it easier for some to come, such as scientists and job-creators" if the UK left the EU. In February Vote Leave published a letter to David Cameron from community and business leaders with Commonwealth links criticising immigration policy. "The descendants of the men who volunteered to fight for Britain in two world wars must stand aside in favour of people with no connection to the United Kingdom," they said. But Labour MP Chuka Umunna, speaking for the Britain Stronger in Europe campaign, said that leaving the EU in order to end free movement would hurt everyone in Britain economically, including Commonwealth citizens. "Commonwealth citizens living in the UK benefit from jobs, lower prices and financial security we get from being part of the world's largest single market. "Commonwealth countries around the world, from Australia to Jamaica, are urging us to stay in the EU," he said. In a newspaper article last August, Lord Howell, chairman of Commonwealth Exchange and a former Conservative minister, said the polarity of the EU question was "maddeningly oversimplified" for internationally-minded Commonwealth citizens. He said the Leave campaign could not fall back on a "little England mantra", while the Remain camp would have to move away from "seeing the continent as the UK's only future". Mark Sultana, a 48-year-old long-time UK resident who organises events for fellow Canadians living in London, sees both sides of the picture. While he bemoans "all the wastage and all the subsidies" of the EU, he fears financial instability and losing the right to retire on the continent. "The whole thing is so complicated," he says. "I think ultimately even though I'm so anti all these things, so many things that the EU stands for… from the point of view of economic stability, the fact you're in it and that the world should be [becoming] a smaller place not a bigger place… [I would vote with] a grudging and qualified yes." Mark also points out that the immigration argument means different things for different Commonwealth citizens. Canadians who live in the UK by virtue of European ancestry like himself, for example, might be fearful of losing that right in the case of a Brexit. "For that generation of that ilk, who came here, the European Union is very important. If you have Brexit there's a whole lot of people who would have trouble coming here." For Brad Argent, meanwhile, having to deal with UK visa hassles despite being married to an English woman makes him feel like "a second-class citizen". The 50-year-old Australian, who works for an internet business, needs to wait for five years to get residency. "Whereas if I'm from Europe I can just come over on the train and set up house," he says outside Australia's High Commission on the Strand in London, where he has come to renew his passport. But Brad won't carry his these grievances to the ballot box, least of all because he does not want his British children to lose the right to work in the continent. "I think a vote to leave just out of spite because I'm a member of the Commonwealth, whilst that might feel good for about five minutes, I think the longer term implications I would start to regret," he says. With Commonwealth migrants unlikely to vote as a uniform bloc due to their divergent interests and circumstances, it appears either camp could still make a pitch to this 'constituency', which has largely been ignored in the debate thus far. After all, a million votes are at stake.

Alli, 20, signed a five-and-a-half-year contract when he joined from MK Dons for an initial £5m in February 2015. He made his first appearance for Spurs on the opening day of last season, scored 10 goals in 46 matches and signed an improved contract in January. Alli made his England debut in October 2015, and scored on his full debut against France the following month. "I can't think of anywhere better with the fans, the manager and the young team we've got here - it's a great place to be," he said. Eric Dier, a team-mate for club and country, signed a new five-year deal last week. Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox. Perthshire-based Iain Burnett took gold at the International Chocolate Awards in London for his new velvet truffle - "Caramel with a Hint of Liquorice". He was the only UK chocolatier to win the accolade in the truffle and praline category this year. His "Dark Sao Tome" velvet truffle took top spot at the same awards in 2015. Mr Burnett is based at the Highland Chocolatier in Grandtully, which has been specialising in gourmet chocolate for the past 10 years. Following his gold award, Mr Burnett said: "I'm really pleased that my new caramelised white velvet truffle has been selected. "Liquorice is a flavour that sometimes gets a bad press but I've developed a chocolate that uses a gentle hint of liquorice with white chocolate that has been caramelised to complement it. "The balance of chocolate and spices is combined to create a complex chocolate that is above all, delicious." That is down 12% compared to the same period in 2016, when the bank recorded profits of £64.5m. The bank said the fall reflects lower incomes because of low interest rates and higher pension costs. Danske Bank UK CEO Kevin Kingston said: "The underlying performance of the bank remains strong, with lending up 8% year-on-year." He added: "Despite improved business activity across the bank, total income has remained broadly flat compared to the first half of 2016 as low interest rates continue to impede our income growth." The bank also reported that mortgage lending had increased 7% on last year. The popular doctor was taken to a Dublin hospital but died on Saturday. Kawasaki rider Sheils took victory in the Open and Grand Final events, with William Dunlop second in both races. Dunlop won the Supersport outing, with Derek McGee, Sam Wilson and Paul Jordan also taking victories at the meeting. Mullingar man McGee won the Supertwins, Wilson was the 250/400cc victor and Jordan was the 125cc winner. Jordan, from Magherafelt, took the flag from Ballymoney riders Paul Robinson and Sam Dunlop at the north County Dublin course. Alan Bonner and John Walsh were podium finishers in the two 'big bike' races, with Michael Dunlop fourth in the feature event on his BMW Superstock, after retiring in the Open class. BikeBits NI Kawasaki runner Sheils enjoyed an advantage of less than half a second over William Dunlop in the Open race, with third place going to the impressive Bonner. In the feature Grand Final, Sheils made a flying start from pole and gradually edged away at the front from William Dunlop, who was riding a 1000cc machine for the first time since his accident at the TT, which left the Ballymoney rider with a broken rib. At the finish, Sheils had more than four seconds to spare over Dunlop, who was clear of Walsh in third. The Dunlop brothers now turn their attention to next week's Southern 100 races on the Isle of Man. In the Supersports, Yamaha-mounted William Dunlop held off a determined challenge from McGee, who was riding his own Yamaha machine after splitting from Wilson Craig Racing last week. Lothian Green MSP Andy Wightman raised the issue at Holyrood. He made the call after being contacted by disgruntled constituents. Minister for Local Government and Housing, Kevin Stewart, said he sympathised but the planning system could not "readily distinguish" between different types of housing tenure. Mr Wightman said: "Over the past few weeks, I have been speaking to constituents who live in the Old Town and the Grassmarket in Edinburgh. "It is clear that there is a substantial problem with unregulated growth in short-term holiday lets. "Very audible sex parties have taken place in the flat above one constituent, and an elderly couple are now living out the rest of their years lonely in a tenement stair that has lost all its other permanent residents. "Others with young families live in a state of stress and anxiety due to the rent-seeking behaviour of a growing number of property owners." Mr Stewart said: "The Scottish government has no plans to regulate the growth in short-term letting. "However, we recognise that some concerns exist and we welcome the opportunity to engage further with stakeholders on the matter." He added: "I sympathise with the people in the stories that Andy Wightman gave us, but the planning system cannot always readily distinguish between different types of housing tenure." Neither of the companies confirmed the deal but Fujitsu said it was considering it as one of its options. The firm said that since splitting off its PC business in February it was "considering various options, including what is being reported". According to the Nikkei newspaper, the deal is to be reached this month. Some 2,000 Fujitsu workers were likely to move to the world's biggest PC maker Lenovo, the newspaper said. Fujitsu had initially been in talks with Toshiba and Sony spin-off Vaio for a merger of all three companies' computer businesses but the negotiations failed to reach an agreement. The rising popularity of smartphones and tablets has for years been squeezing the demand for personal computers, making it harder for smaller manufacturers to survive. Worldwide computer shipments in the second quarter this year shrank 4.5% from a year earlier to 62.4 million units. Fujitsu accounted for just over 6% of those while global leader Lenovo made up 21.2%, followed by HP with 20.8% and Dell with 16% according to research company IDC. The Canadian, 56, took charge last week after nine years as Tennis Canada's president and succeeds Roger Draper, who left in October. "We used to talk about tennis in Canada and not the federation," said Downey. "That is what we should be doing at the LTA. It's about us helping others grow the sport; that's what I want to lead." One of Downey's first challenges will be to ward off threats of a £10.3m funding cut by Sport England if the LTA failed to increase participation. Since Andy Murray won Wimbledon the LTA has reported an upturn in people playing the sport, pointing towards a 100% year-on-year increase in July 2013, with 36,000 players registering on its website. That progress is something Downey wants to harness. "Over the first month or so it's about learning so I'm going to spend a lot of time with people at the National Tennis Centre," he said. "But I'm also going to get out and meet people at Sport England, The All England Club, participation coaches, because I've got to understand how tennis is driven in this country. "It's about getting out, getting my hands dirty and understanding what's going on in tennis." Mr Luckey was closely associated with the rise to prominence of Oculus and its VR headset which finally went on sale in early 2016. Facebook, which owns Oculus, gave no details about why Mr Luckey left the firm or what he planned to do next. His departure caps a troubled period for Oculus which lost a $500m (£400m) court case against media firm Zenimax which said it stole trade secrets. The court case was partly brought about because Zenimax accused Mr Luckey of violating a non-disclosure agreement he signed with the firm in 2014. Facebook and Oculus have appealed against the damages award. "Palmer will be dearly missed," said Facebook in a statement given to tech news site Ars Technica. It said that his "inventive spirit" helped to "kickstart" recent interest in VR and get the industry going. It said it wished him well in future ventures. No personal statement from Mr Luckey about his future plans has yet appeared. Mr Luckey had been the public face of Oculus since 2012 and regularly gave presentations at industry events about VR's potential. However, he became a controversial figure last year when it emerged that he had partly bankrolled a group behind a social media campaign helping Donald Trump's presidential bid. Widespread criticism of his involvement with the pro-Trump group prompted Mr Luckey to apologise for the effect the revelation had had on perceptions of Oculus. The publicity meant Mr Luckey appeared far less often at Oculus events. He was entirely absent from the company's flagship Connect conference last year. As founder and major shareholder of Oculus, Mr Luckey received a significant payout when Facebook bought the company in 2014 for $2bn. Air Products temporarily halted work on the Tees Valley energy-from-waste project in November, resulting in 700 construction workers being laid off. Now the firm has opted to pull out of the development completely, blaming technical problems and rising costs. The site, at Port Clarence, near Hartlepool, still employs more than 150 office staff and contractors. A company statement said the move would result in write-off of about £770m. It added: "In previous public comments, Air Products' management has communicated the challenges with the Tees Valley projects. "Testing and analysis... indicated that additional design and operational challenges would require significant time and cost to rectify. "Consequently, the Board of Directors has decided that it is no longer in the best interest of the company and its shareholders to continue the Tees Valley projects." The company said it planned to seek a buyer for the part-built facility. US-based Air Products had said the plant would generate energy for about 100,000 homes by burning domestic and commercial waste which would otherwise have been sent to landfill. Labour MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland, Tom Blenkinsop, described the news as "another blow for the Teesside economy". He said: "The news that Air Products is to write off its Teesside energy-from-waste development is the latest part of the crisis that is sweeping the UK's industrial sector. "I will be seeking assurances from Air Products that they are looking to find a sustainable, long-term buyer who can continue with this project and that they are not just looking to scrap the whole plant, which is nearly complete." Stockton North Labour MP Alex Cunningham added: "This is yet more devastating news for Teesside coming on the tail of thousands of other lost jobs in the area in steel, construction, metal and related industries in recent months. "People on Teesside need to know whether the incomplete plants have a future, if they will be sold or there is some other options for them. "I will also be raising the issue in Parliament when it returns next week." Media playback is not supported on this device The Robins hope to make a long-term appointment for 2017, with ex-England boss Steve McNamara and former Leigh coach Paul Rowley among those linked. Chris Chester left Rovers after February's defeat by Wakefield, with Willie Poching in temporary charge. "We have a stand-out candidate," Hudgell told BBC Look North. "We are expecting the appointment to be a top line coach with experience and a finer understanding of the game." Hudgell is close friends with former England and Bradford coach McNamara, himself a Hull native, but would not discuss speculation surrounding the identity of the candidate. He did confirm there had been "huge interest" in the post, but that no formal job offer had been extended at this stage. McNamara is currently employed as assistant coach at NRL side Sydney Roosters under their head coach Trent Robinson. Media playback is not supported on this device "The person we've identified as the coach we want to take us forward in the long-term isn't in a position to take up a position at this stage," Hudgell continued. "We've been in talks and will make an announcement when we're in a position to." Poching will take charge of Friday's game at Widnes Vikings, hoping to build on the defeat by St Helens in his first Super League game in charge. "Willie's in the box seat [for the short-term role], he knows the players, has been at the club a period of time, so he knows the systems," Hudgell added. "He's put his hand up and wants the gig full-time, he's ambitious, been assistant to some of the best coaches in the game and has 'wool on his back'. "As a board we need to look at how he fits into our longer term future." Cafodd 3,000 o Gymry - gan gynnwys y bardd, Hedd Wyn - eu lladd neu eu hanafu yn y frwydr yn 1917, oedd yn rhan o'r Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf. Mae prif weinidog Cymru yno i agor y gwasanaeth coffa i'r milwyr Cymreig yn Langemark ochr yn ochr â gwleidyddion lleol. Mae arweinwyr gwrthbleidiau'r Cynulliad hefyd wedi ymuno â'r Llywydd, Elin Jones, i osod torch i nodi'r canmlwyddiant. Ynghyd â'r gwasanaeth coffa Cymreig, bydd Llywodraeth y DU yn nodi'r achlysur gyda gwasanaeth ym mynwent filwrol Tyne Cot. Mae disgwyl i filoedd o ddisgynyddion y rhai wnaeth frwydro yn Passchendaele fod yno. Yn eu plith bydd Luned James o Flaenafon, fydd yno i gofio ei thad-cu, Frank Gough. Fe oroesodd Frank Gough y frwydr yn Passchendaele - sydd hefyd yn cael ei hadnabod fel Trydydd Brwydr Ypres - a dychwelyd i'w gartref yn Aberafan, Port Talbot. Dywedodd Ms James ei bod "yn llawn cynnwrf am ddilyn ôl troed fy nhad-cu". Fe fydd 'na ddigwyddiadau hefyd i nodi'r canmlwyddiant yn Yr Ysgwrn yn Nhrawsfynydd, Gwynedd - cartref y bardd, Hedd Wyn. Bu farw'r llenor ar faes y gad yn Passchendaele ar 31 Gorffennaf 1917, cyn cipio Cadair yr Eisteddfod ym mhrifwyl Penbedw ddyddiau'n ddiweddarach. Yn dilyn y gwasanaeth yn Langemark, bydd y Prif Weinidog, Carwyn Jones, hefyd yn gosod torch ar fedd Hedd Wyn ym Mynwent Artillery Wood yn Fflandrys. Dywedodd Mr Jones ei bod yn "fraint aruthrol" i gael dod yn ôl i Wlad Belg i nodi'r achlysur. "Yn y llecyn heddychlon hwn heddiw, mae'n anodd dychmygu'r erchyllterau a wynebodd ein milwyr yn ystod y frwydr, a gwewyr y teuluoedd yn ôl gartref wrth iddyn nhw ddisgwyl am newyddion am eu hanwyliaid, gyda misoedd yn mynd heibio weithiau cyn iddyn nhw gael gwybod eu tynged," meddai. "Mae rhai o'r rheiny a gollwyd yn cael eu cofio am eu cyfraniad i ddiwylliant Cymru - mewn meysydd megis barddoniaeth a chwaraeon - ond mae'n bwysig ein bod yn cofio'r holl ddynion hynny o Gymru fu farw ar faes y gad. "Heddiw, rydyn ni'n talu teyrnged i bob un ohonyn nhw am eu dewrder a'u gwrhydri." Dywedodd Elin Jones, Llywydd y Cynulliad: "Collodd cymaint o filwyr o Gymru eu bywydau ym Mrwydr Passchendaele, a down at ein gilydd er cof am y milwyr hynny a gafodd eu lladd neu eu hanafu mor bell o gartref. "Cofiwn yr aberth a'r golled a deimlwyd yn dilyn y frwydr erchyll hon." Fighters from IS seized the town of Ain Issa on Monday, but a statement by the Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG) said they had now taken it back. They were supported by a female brigade, the YPJ and, the AFP agency said, by US airstrikes. The town, only 50km (30 miles) north of Raqqa, is of strategic importance. It is at an intersection of the main roads from Raqqa to other areas IS controls in Aleppo province, to the west, and Hassakeh province, to the east. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also confirmed Ain Issa was back in Kurdish fighters' hands. In recent weeks, IS has launched several deadly counter-attacks against the Kurds. The jihadist group had until then suffered a series of defeats in areas along the Turkish border since being forced to withdraw from the town of Kobane in January. The US Commerce Department said the economy expanded at an annualised pace of 3.9%, rather than 3.7%. The growth in the economy overall was due to strong consumer spending, business investment and residential construction. It rate is much higher than the 0.6% rate recorded in the first quarter. The growth rate is expected to have slowed in the current quarter, but in a speech on Thursday Federal Reserve head Janet Yellen said economic growth appeared "solid" and the US remained "on track" for an interest rate rise this year. The central bank head said as long as inflation was stable and the US economy was strong enough to boost jobs, the conditions would be right for a rise. US interest rates have been held at near-zero since the 2008 financial crisis. When they finally do rise, it will be the first interest rate increase in nine years. Jim Baird, chief investment officer for Plante Moran Financial Advisors, said: "Overall, the outlook on the US economy for the remainder of the year remains fairly optimistic, supported by continuing job creation, increasing consumer spending, improvements in the housing sector, and solid manufacturing numbers." Stocks on Wall Street made a bright start in the wake of the GDP figures and Ms Yellen's comments, with the Dow Jones rising 1% in morning trade. Civil action against Mr Hancock alleging he sexually assaulted a female constituent was dropped earlier this month. A statement said both parties had agreed a confidential settlement. Mr Hancock, who remains an in-patient at the Priory Hospital, released the statement as part of the agreement. A psychiatric report was obtained confirming Mr Hancock had full capacity to make the statement. In the 400-word apology he said: "In October 2009 you first came to me as a constituent to seek my assistance as your MP and councillor. "Subsequently and over several months I came to your home on several occasions, sometimes unannounced, and conducted a friendship with you that was inappropriate and unprofessional. "I understand that you felt degraded. I did not treat you with sufficient respect. "I made you feel deeply uncomfortable and discriminated against and I crossed the line." The MP for Portsmouth South had denied claims of sexual harassment, but was suspended from the Lib Dems after being found guilty of breaching standards codes. Mr Hancock, who has been an MP since 1984, was arrested in 2010 after a complaint was made about his behaviour towards a vulnerable constituent who had a history of mental health problems. Hampshire Constabulary decided not to press charges following an investigation. The chairman of Portsmouth Liberal Democrats, Simon Dodd, said Mr Hancock would now be subject to an internal disciplinary hearing. He said: "After today's developments and the admissions he has made, we are incredibly disappointed that Mike Hancock has chosen not to proceed with the court case in order to clear his name. "Mike Hancock has admitted behaving in an unprofessional way that caused harm and distress to a constituent and we are very disappointed that his apology was not made at a much earlier stage." The constituent at the centre of the complaint, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also released a statement, which said her physical and mental health had suffered since making the complaint against Mr Hancock in 2010. She said: "I have only ever sought justice and an apology from Mr Hancock and that is what my legal team have fought to obtain throughout. "Whilst there were further allegations made in the case, as part of the compromise reached and in recognition of the very extensive apology made by Mr Hancock, I will not now pursue these allegations further." The party said details of how the "carefully costed" plans would be paid for would be set out in its general election manifesto. It said the policy would give the average public sector worker a pay rise of £779. But the Conservatives said only they could deliver "strong public services". Under Tory government policy, a 1% pay cap for public sector workers is in place in a bid to "protect jobs and repair the finances". Labour's leaked draft manifesto included plans to end the cap, and the Lib Dems said they would bring an end to "years of pitiful increases" by increasing wages in line with the Consumer Price Index, which was 2.3%, according to the latest figures. "Our NHS and schools are already struggling to recruit the staff they need," said former Business Secretary Vince Cable. "A better future is available. We will stand up for our schools and hospitals and give hard-working nurses, teachers and police the pay rise they deserve." The SRU wants to be able to sell all, or part of, Pro12 clubs Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh Rugby. The union has called a special general meeting on 28 October when member clubs can vote on a rule change. In a letter sent to member clubs, the union said it has to be "inventive and innovative". If a two-thirds majority backs the motion, outside parties would be able to invest in or take ownership of Warriors and Edinburgh. The SRU currently owns and funds them both to the tune of around £5m per year each. However, BBC Scotland has learned that the SRU would want to ensure buyers would make commitments in terms of future investment and in bringing through young Scottish players before selling stakes in either pro team. The Scottish game's ruling body feels getting substantial outside investment is the only way its professional teams will be able to compete in years to come with teams in England's Premiership and France's Top 14, both of which have benefited from huge increases in money from television companies. Scottish Rugby chief executive Mark Dodson told BBC Scotland last month that he would be prepared to talk to interested parties about giving up control of Glasgow and Edinburgh if the price was right. In a letter to be sent to member clubs and obtained by the BBC, SRU President Rob Flockhart says: ''The history of rugby in Scotland is characterised by a willingness to make bold decisions; we have to be inventive and innovative as we seek new income streams that will enable us to safeguard our ongoing investment in the domestic game and still support our pro-clubs at an appropriate level. "It is increasingly clear that we must look at all options in order to attract more external funding. Your president, board and council now all seek your support to proceed to help us look to secure further investment in our great sport." The special general meeting is to take place on 28 October. Ryan Fraser put Ipswich ahead just before the hour, turning in the area after Freddie Sears picked him out with a cross from the right. Garath McCleary equalised from the penalty spot after Hal Robson-Kanu was tripped by Cole Skuse. Brett Pitman then combined with fellow substitute Luke Varney to side-foot in a winner with a minute remaining. Reading, now without a league win in four games, slip to 16th in the table. There was little entertainment in the first half, but after the break Sears found space down the wing and loanee Fraser had time to spin and score his sixth goal of the season. McCleary failed to pick out Matej Vydra on the break as Reading pounced on a mistake by Jonas Knudsen, but moments later Skuse's clumsy challenge allowed McCleary to convert from the spot. Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy's attacking substitution was eventually rewarded when Pitman slid in at the far post for his ninth goal of the season. Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy: "It was a great win and it is brilliant when your subs come on and contribute like that. "I'm chuffed for them and chuffed for everyone. It wasn't a great game, but I think Reading are a really good side - it was one of our hardest matches of the season. "I said at half-time that we needed to keep grinding away, even if we nicked it in the last minute. It was not a cunning plan, it was a tough and rather scrappy match. "But we showed endeavour and resilience and Brett Pitman showed what a fantastic finisher he is." Reading manager Brian McDermott told BBC Radio Berkshire: Media playback is not supported on this device "It was a sickener, it really was. But, I can't complain about the spirit and the commitment. "It was a pretty ugly game, I knew what we'd be coming into tonight and that's what happened. "I thought we might go on and win the game at 1-1 when we got the penalty, but it wasn't to be. "Really disappointed. But everything in there, the spirit, the commitment, the guts. I can't have any complaints with that." It follows a fire at sister site Manchester Dogs' Home, which killed about 60 animals according to police. The charity said 51 dogs rescued from the fire had been fostered, with more than 400 visitors to the Cheshire site. It added the number of people coming to the site, near Warrington, caused tailbacks on the M6 motorway. The charity tweeted: "We've gridlocked the M6 & Warrington can donations now be done next w/end police concerned with H&S [health and safety] wow, we've stopped the M6." The outpouring of support from the public has already seen more than £1.2m donated in less than 48 hours. A 15-year-old boy has been bailed after the blaze in Moss Brook Road, Harpurhey on Thursday night. The fire was tackled by more than 30 firefighters and more than 150 dogs were rescued. Many of the dogs were brought to the Cheshire site. Volunteers have been collecting dog food, bedding and other items donated by the public. The centre earlier requested people to provide temporary foster care for dogs owing to the number of animals on site. Insp Sarah Heath, from Cheshire Police, said: "The offers of help and support to the Cheshire Dogs' Home has literally been overwhelming. "However, the sheer volume of people coming to the home has caused significant traffic congestion tailing back to the motorway. "Officers are working hard to get traffic flowing, but the clear advice is - if you want to help, please check online to find a drop off point near to you." Police used nearby fields as overspill parking and a makeshift drop-off point for supplies was created at Sandbach services on the M6. Sue Jones, a helper at Cheshire Dogs' Home, said the phones had "not stopped ringing" at the centre. She said: "I'm astounded by the reaction of the public and the support provided by community volunteers today." Following the fire, a special service is due to be held at Christchurch, Harpurhey, at 18:00 BST on Sunday. Gunshots were heard and smoke was seen rising from the scene after special forces stormed the building. Mehmet Selim Kiraz was apparently taken hostage because he had headed an inquiry into the death of a boy during anti-government protests in 2013. A banned Marxist revolutionary group is said to be behind the hostage taking incident. A statement posted online had said the prosecutor would be killed if the group's demands were not met. Istanbul's police chief Selami Altunok said that police had negotiated with the gunmen for six hours, but eventually stormed the courthouse "because of gunshots heard from inside the prosecutor's office". The two gunmen died during the operation, while Mr Kiraz was badly wounded and later died of his injuries, officials said. The gunmen had released dramatic images of a gun being held to the head of Mehmet Selim Kiraz as the hostage crisis unfolded. The Turkish government banned live TV coverage of the incident, citing security concerns. Sukriye Erden, a lawyer negotiating with the hostage takers, told the BBC that they had demanded that the police announce the names of four members of the security services whom they said were connected to the death of the boy, Berkin Elvan. Elvan, who was then 14, was struck in the head by a police tear gas canister in June 2013 as he went to buy bread during mass demonstrations that began in Istanbul and spread across Turkey. He died in an Istanbul hospital last year, after spending nine months in a coma. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, now Turkey's president, inflamed passions shortly after the teenager's death when he said the boy had been carrying a slingshot and had been "taken up into terrorist organisations". Suspected members of the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) took the prosecutor hostage on the sixth floor of the Caglayan court house. The DHKP-C is considered a terrorist group by Turkey, the European Union and US. It said it carried out a suicide bombing in February 2013 at the US embassy in Ankara, where a security guard was killed. In January, a man linked to the banned Marxist group was arrested near the prime minister's offices in Istanbul, reportedly after throwing two grenades that failed to explode. West Midlands Ambulance Service said the incident happened on Friday afternoon in Hollingsclough, near Buxton. A spokeswoman for the ambulance service said: "The man was paragliding when he fell to the ground." He was initially given CPR by members of the public and later by paramedics attending the scene. The spokeswoman added: "Sadly, despite their best efforts, nothing could be done to save the man and he was confirmed dead a short time later." Their study suggests that the taste of a compound called guaiacol is stronger when the spirit is diluted prior to bottling. This taste may be more pronounced when additional water is added in the glass. The findings of Björn Karlsson and Ran Friedman are based on computer simulations and are published in the latest edition of Scientific Reports. Before it is bottled, whisky is diluted to around 40% alcohol by volume, with the addition of water. Whisky drinkers often add a few drops of water to the spirit in order to further enhance the taste. The scientists findings' focus on guaiacol - a compound more commonly found in Scottish whiskies than those from Ireland or the US. They discovered that where concentrations of ethanol were less than 45%, guaiacol was found near the surface of the liquid, where it contributes to its taste and smell. Where alcohol concentrations are above 59%, the molecule is driven into the solution, away from the surface. The report states: "This indicates that the taste of guaiacol in the whisky would be enhanced upon dilution prior to bottling. "Our findings ...could contribute to optimising the production of spirits for desired tastes." But Vic Cameron, a independent whisky consultant who teaches at the Edinburgh Whisky Academy, asked why the research needed to be done. "Some whiskies taste better with a little bit of water - some don't," he said. "It's such a subjective thing - it's personal taste, down to the individual." He added: "They've over-scienced it, if that's a word. To me, it's almost irrelevant." It creates unusual moments like Cuyahoga County Commissioner Armond Budish, a pudgy 63-year-old white man, telling a packed arena in downtown Cleveland that he is not, in fact, hip-hop star Jay Z. Or Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Kaine slow-jamming You Give Love a Bad Name with rocker Jon Bon Jovi in Florida. Or 79-year-old former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright getting more raucous applause than actress Debra Messing in Philadelphia. As with all things Clinton, however, there's a method to strangeness. If the flood of Wikileaks emails hacked from Mrs Clinton's senior advisors has revealed anything, it's that the campaign doesn't make any move by accident. The Clintons have ties to the entertainment industry dating back to the start of Bill Clinton's presidency in 1992, and now those connections are being strategically employed in key electoral battleground states. Over the past few weeks, a litany of stars have helped the Democratic nominee pack music venues and arenas, to be capped off by a rally with Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and the Obama family at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on Monday night. Every concert, every celebrity appearance in the closing days of Mrs Clinton's campaign has a purpose - to court a key portion of the Democratic coalition that powered Barack Obama to two presidential terms. For some, such as Mrs Clinton's rally with basketball mega-athlete LeBron James in Cleveland on Sunday or the concert with music and film star Jennifer Lopez in Miami two weeks ago, the intent is obvious. Other events are more difficult to comprehend, like rolling out aging folk singer James Taylor in New Hampshire - until you realise that the New England state has more than its share of unreconstituted hippies and died-in-the-wool liberals; the sort who helped power septuagenarian socialist Bernie Sanders to a resounding win in the Democratic primary. Often there is also a clear point the campaign is trying to drive home - such as during the hip-hop jam in Cleveland on Friday headlined Beyonce and her husband, rapper Jay Z. Black enthusiasm for Mrs Clinton and early voting turnout in this Democratic bastion of the key swing state of Ohio has been notably down from Mr Obama's two campaigns. Given that the first black president is no longer on the ballot, that is not particularly surprising - but it's concerning to the Clinton camp, which is relying on Cleveland's Cuyahoga County to make up for losses among working-class whites elsewhere in the state. And so, speaker after speaker on Friday - the politicians, the celebrities and Mrs Clinton herself - drew the line for the largely black crowd directly from Barack Obama to the current Democratic nominee. After referencing Jay Z's quote that civil rights leader Martin Luther King's work was "so Barack Obama could run, and Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly," Mrs Clinton said there was unfinished business to do. "There are more barriers to break," she said. "And with your help, a glass ceiling to crack once and for all." Among the roughly 10,000 who attended the concert, there were kind words for the former secretary of state - although few said they had voted yet, and there was often a tacit acknowledgement that Obama-level enthusiasm wasn't always there. "I think it could be better, but I'm excited," says Ashley Manningham, a local schoolteacher. "I think 2008 was more important. Having the first black president was such a huge deal, that was number one." Stephen Morgan, a videographer at Cleveland State University, which hosted the rally, said the star power of the event could definitely help turn out voters in the days ahead. "Sometimes it takes an idol of yours, like Beyonce, to come out and tell you that this is importance for us," he said. "You need to see people who are in our generation, our age bracket, coming out and telling us about the importance of voting." The following day in Philadelphia - a Democratic stronghold in Pennsylvania, an essential part of the Clinton campaign's blue-state firewall against a Donald Trump victory - Mrs Clinton held a different kind of campaign concert with a decidedly different crowd. Local college students, campaign volunteers and mums with pre-teen daughters packed the outdoor amphitheatre on a brisk autumn evening to watch pop star Katy Perry perform a brief, but enthusiastically received concert. "Tonight I want to hear you roar," Mrs Clinton said, referring to one of Perry's more famous lyrics as she introduced the singer. "Tonight it is a celebration for everything that you've already done to help us and all that we will do together." Perry herself took a break between numbers to make a minute-long pitch for the candidate she referred to as "our girl" that seemed geared not for her younger audience but to the mothers in the crowd. "Our choice doesn't just affect us," she said. "If you've got children right now, their children are going to be affected by the election." The intent of the event was less about convincing possibly unmotivated supporters to head to the polls and more about rallying the party faithful for a final push to election day. "It's definitely nice to see all the supporters in one place," said Ellyn Womelsdorf, who works as a customer service representative at a legal services company. "It's wonderful to be with like-minded people and know that Hillary has a lot of support." Leah Wenhold, a senior at Temple University, said that she was glad the campaign was using concerts to reach a larger audience. "I think this kind of event, when you get all sorts of people coming out, maybe they are coming partially for Katy Perry, but they're getting the political message too that they might not otherwise get if they stayed home." Mrs Clinton's appeal to celebrities has also attracted Mr Trump's attention, as he spent recent days condemning Jay Z's obscenity-laced raps and boasting that he didn't need help drawing crowds to his rallies. "I didn't have to bring J-Lo or Jay Z - the only way she gets anybody," Mr Trump said at a rally in attended by an estimated 11,000 supporters. 'I'm here all by myself. Just me. No guitar, no piano, no nothing." Whether or not packing an arena with the help of a star is "almost like cheating", as Mr Trump alleged, do Mrs Clinton's events really help. Do newly-motivated voters turn out once the music stops and the lights go off? The morning after the Cleveland hip-hop concert, just a few blocks from where the Jay Z, Beyonce and Clinton fans gathered, there was a steady stream of Clevelanders going into the Cuyahoga Board of Elections building - the one place where the 1.2 million residents of the county could cast their early ballots. Most of the arrivals that morning knew about the previous night's event - and Beyonce's "I'm with her" entreaties to vote for Mrs Clinton. Few, however, seemed to care that much. "Beyonce didn't have to do that," said Ken Tate, as he walked into the polling place. "People are still going to turn out anyway." Alicia Davis, who came to vote with her mother, Yvonne East, and her son, Aiden, said she wasn't surprised by the celebrity endorsements. She was more motivated to turn out because she so strongly disliked Mr Trump. "There's a lot of things about Hillary that I don't agree with, but she's the lesser of two evils," she said. "We can't let Trump get in," East added. "He's crazy." The Sunday Times and German broadcaster ARD/WDR have obtained access to the results of 12,000 blood tests from 5,000 athletes between 2001 and 2012. According to the newspaper, the evidence - which has been seen by the BBC - reveals the "extraordinary extent of cheating" by athletes at the world's biggest events. Wada's independent commission will investigate the claims in the ARD/WDR documentary Doping - Top Secret: The Shadowy World of Athletics. Wada president Sir Craig Reedie said his organisation was "very disturbed by these new allegations... which will, once again, shake the foundation of clean athletes worldwide". The files belong to world governing body the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), but have been leaked by a whistle-blower. In a statement, the IAAF said the data had been obtained "without consent" and that it reserved the right to take any follow up action necessary. The Sunday Times and ARD/WDR used two of the world's "foremost anti-doping experts", scientists Robin Parisotto and Michael Ashenden, to review the data. According to the experts, the database reveals: Parisotto said: "Never have I seen such an alarmingly abnormal set of blood values. So many athletes appear to have doped with impunity, and it is damning that the IAAF appears to have idly sat by and let this happen." According to Ashenden, the files show that athletics is now in the same "diabolical position" as cycling during the Lance Armstrong era. He said it was "a shameful betrayal of [the IAAF's] primary duty to police their sport and to protect clean athletes". The evidence is not proof of doping - but the revelations will raise more serious questions over whether the sport is doing enough to combat cheating ahead of the World Athletics Championships in Beijing later this month. In its statement the IAAF, which the Sunday Times reported had on Friday dropped a planned injunction against publication of the story, added it was "aware of serious allegations made against the integrity and competence of its anti-doping programme". It said the allegations "are largely based on analysis of an IAAF database of private and confidential medical data which has been obtained without consent". "The IAAF is now preparing a detailed response to both media outlets and will reserve the right to take any follow-up action necessary to protect the rights of the IAAF and its athletes." The federation is due to elect a new president in just over two weeks, with Britain's Lord Coe the favourite to win the election against IAAF vice-president Sergey Bubka. Coe has made independent testing a key part of his manifesto. Former Olympic pole vault champion Bubka told the BBC: "We will not stop the fight. We know that in the 21st century doping is the biggest danger and there will be zero tolerance. If we need to strengthen our rules and regulations we will do it." The IAAF said that before the introduction in 2009 of the biological passport - which monitors longitudinal blood values - its testers had "systematically pursued" all results that were deemed "atypical" with immediate urine tests for EPO and then target-tested those athletes in and out of competition. Since the introduction of the passport, the IAAF says it has "pursued more cases under the passport system than all other anti-doping organisations together", and is spending $2m a year on combating cheating. "As a percentage of overall annual budget this is the highest of any sport," it added. There can be various reasons for abnormal blood samples other than performance-enhancing drugs. Illness, altitude training and pregnancy can all influence values. Media playback is not supported on this device The latest claims come after a turbulent few months for athletics. In December, ARD/WDR alleged systematic doping in Russian athletics and implicated the IAAF in covering up the problem. The Russian Athletics Federation called the allegations lies, and IAAF president Lamine Diack denied any collusion, although he did admit to the BBC that his sport was "in crisis". Both the IAAF and Wada are investigating the allegations. The German documentary-makers also claimed an unnamed member of the IAAF medical commission had a list of 150 suspicious blood samples from 2001 to 2008 that were not investigated. Diack described this as "ridiculous". The IAAF insisted that the whistle-blower would not have known if follow-up tests had been conducted and pointed out that its athlete biological passport scheme was only launched in 2009 and samples before that date did "not have the same level of reliability and strength as the post-2009 values which were collected under strict and stringent conditions". In June, the BBC's Panorama programme alleged that Mo Farah's coach Alberto Salazar violated various anti-doping rules with other athletes. He denies the allegations, and there is no suggestion that double Olympic champion Farah was guilty of any wrongdoing. UK Anti-Doping and the US Anti-Doping Agency are investigating the claims. Although it was one of the first sports to introduce the biological passport, athletics has a chequered history of drug scandals, from East Germany's years of state-sponsored doping through to the Balco affair in 2002. These latest claims could lead to renewed calls for countries to be banned from international competition, and there will be more scrutiny of powerhouse athletics nations like Russia and Kenya. In January, marathon champion Rita Jeptoo became the 45th Kenyan to fail a doping test, while 25 Russian walkers have been suspended for doping offences in the past six years. London 2012's reputation as the cleanest Games in 50 years will also be questioned, as the sport struggles to assert its credibility and reputation. But developments since then suggest Mr Duvalier was badly misinformed about the kind of reception he would receive. After being questioned for several hours by prosecutors, the former leader was charged with embezzlement and misappropriation of funds, charges he has long denied. A judge will now decide if there is enough evidence for him to stand trial - a process likely to take months gathering evidence for alleged offences that took place more than a quarter of a century ago. Jean-Claude Duvalier and his late father, Francois, known as Papa Doc, were accused of siphoning off up to $300m (£187m) during their time in power, although there is no accurate record of this. The money said to have been embezzled came from state-run concerns such as the Regie du Tabac, the tobacco business, and taxes on rum exports. But human rights groups within Haiti and internationally are pressing for Baby Doc to also stand trial for the widespread human rights abuses committed during his rule. Once again, exact details are difficult to prove, but it has been estimated that between 20,000 and 30,000 Haitians were killed by the security forces or the paramilitary Tontons Macoutes or "Bogeymen" under Papa Doc and then Baby Doc. Amnesty International and Human Rights watch regularly reported on these abuses from the 1960s to the 1980s, and these reports could be used in any future trial. When Mr Duvalier arrived back in Haiti, some 2,000 supporters turned out to receive him at Port-au-Prince airport. But it appears that the current government under President Rene Preval could not allow him to try to exploit Haiti's difficult political situation. There was no clear-cut winner in the first round of presidential elections in November, and there has been prolonged haggling between the different political groups as to who should stand in the run-off. No date has been fixed for the second round, which is seen as vital to provide Haiti with a credible administration to lead reconstruction efforts following the devastating earthquake of January 2010. While Mr Duvalier has not explained his reason for returning, he was apparently hoping to take advantage of the current political vacuum to rally support behind a promise to reinstate a "law and order" government. Born in 1951, Baby Doc ruled the country after his father's death in 1971 to 1986, when he was deposed by the armed forces following widespread popular unrest and fled to exile in France. Haiti has struggled to create stable democratic governments after three decades of misrule by the Duvalier dynasty. Papa Doc first came to power in 1957, when he is said to have won free and fair elections. A popular figure at first, he became increasingly authoritarian and eccentric, keeping control of the country thanks to the sinister Tontons Macoutes who acted with impunity to silence any opposition. In 1964 Papa Doc had himself declared president for life. His rule became increasingly repressive, and it was in the 1960s that many educated Haitians left the country for the United States, Canada and France, the start of an exodus that means now more than a million Haitians out of a total of 11 million live abroad. By the early 1970s, Papa Doc's health was failing and he had the National Assembly declare that his son Jean Claude should take over, also as president for life. Handed the presidency at age 19, Mr Duvalier made some attempts to modernise and reform the Haitian state but his rule was as arbitrary and authoritarian as his father's, and he was known to be greatly influenced by his mother, Simone Ovide Duvalier. In the end, he proved so inept at resolving Haiti's deep-seated problems of extreme poverty, lack of investment and employment opportunities that there were constant outbreaks of popular unrest. In February 1986 the armed forces toppled him in a bloodless coup supported by the vast majority of Haitians. Baby Doc went off to live in exile in the south of France. He lost most of his wealth following a bitter divorce in 1993, and some $6m he held in Swiss bank accounts has been frozen since 1986. In recent years, Mr Duvalier has depended on financial support from his followers, living in a small Paris apartment. His presence in Haiti is likely to lead to further instability, weakening still further the prospects for constitutional rule in this troubled nation - although Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said there was no reason this would be the case. Perhaps his presence will galvanise the squabbling politicians to unite to defend the hopes for democratic rule in Haiti against this ghost from its dark past. As part of the inquiries into events following the 21 May match between Hibs and Rangers at Hampden, 85 people have been arrested. The disturbance followed Hibernian winning the Scottish Cup for the first time in 114 years. Thousands of Hibs fans invaded the pitch and there were reports of alleged assaults on Rangers players. A number of Rangers fans also came on to the pitch and clashed with rival fans. The pitch invasion delayed the presentation of the trophy and there was no lap of honour for Hibs players. Rangers players were not able to pick up their Cup Final medals. Police Scotland said anyone with information about the identities of the people in the pictures should contact the incident room at Govan Police Office on 0141 532 5457 or by emailing this address: Scottishcupfinalpitchinvasion@scotland.pnn.police.uk. Contact can also be made anonymously through Crimestoppers. A member of the public told police they were seen leaving a refrigerated lorry in Brockhurst Crescent, Walsall, close to junction 8 at about 15:15 BST. Three people were arrested at the scene and three others were found nearby The 36-year-old Romanian driver is being questioned on suspicion of facilitating illegal entry to the UK. Two of the men arrested are believed to be Iranian, another is understood to be a 23-year-old Syrian, while two others are thought to be from Vietnam and aged in their mid-teens, West Midlands Police said. A sixth man is currently being treated in hospital after being found with two broken ankles. The six were held on suspicion of entering the country illegally and the driver will be questioned on suspicion of assisting illegal entry to the UK, West Midlands Police said. The data was first released to relatives of passengers, who have been asking for greater transparency, before copies were also provided to media. The document released on Tuesday comprises 47 pages of data, plus notes, from British firm Inmarsat. Flight MH370 went missing on 8 March as it flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. There were 239 people, mostly Chinese nationals, on board. No trace of the aircraft has been found, nor any reason for its disappearance. By Jonathan AmosScience correspondent, BBC News The release document comprises long columns of numbers, including detail on the now famous "handshakes" when Inmarsat's ground network made connections with equipment on board the plane. The last of these occurred at 00:19:38 UTC. It's a partial handshake, possibly the plane attempting to log back on to the network after a power interruption as the jet ran out of fuel. The key numbers are the Burst Timing Offset (BTO) and the Burst Frequency Offset (BFO). The former is the time it takes for a signal sent from the ground network to reach the plane, be answered and return. It allows an arc of possible positions for the plane to be calculated. The latter number describes the drift in the expected frequency of that signal. Combined with other data, it can be used to narrow the possible solutions on the arc. The data is now open for scrutiny, but it would be a surprise if something new turns up. Independent teams have already assessed it and come to the same conclusion: MH370 lies somewhere far off the coast of western Australia. The satellite data released includes the hourly "handshakes" between the plane and a communications satellite that led investigators to conclude that the plane ended its journey far off Australia. "Inmarsat and the DCA have been working for the release of the data communication logsand the technical description of the analysis," Malaysia's civil aviation authority said in a statement. BBC science correspondent Jonathan Amos says although the data is now open for scrutiny, it would be a surprise if something new turns up. Independent teams have already assessed it and come to the same conclusion: MH370 lies somewhere far off the coast of western Australia, he says. American Sarah Bajc, the partner of one of the passengers, told Reuters news agency that she did not think it would take this long for the data to be released. "When we first asked for the data it was more than two months ago. I never dreamed it would be such an obstacle to overcome," she told Reuters news agency from Beijing. Meanwhile, a sea-bed search for the missing plane is continuing in waters far west of the Australian city of Perth. The robotic submarine Bluefin-21, on loan from the US, is still being operated off the Australian vessel Ocean Shield. The Bluefin-21, which can identify objects by creating a sonar map of the sea floor, restarted its mission last week after experiencing technical problems. It is expected to leave the search area on Wednesday and return to base on 31 May, said a previous statement from Australia's Joint Agency Coordination Centre, which is leading the search. The Bluefin-21 completed the initial search of the area where acoustic signals thought to be from flight recorders were heard without finding anything concrete. The Australian government is now preparing for a fresh deep-sea search using commercially-contracted equipment. Laing, 23, is a free agent and has other offers after leaving Well, who recently loaned him to Notts County. He previously played for Sunderland, Wycombe and Nottingham Forest. "It would be to the end of the season and he has a couple of options, once he hears back then we'll know," said Foran. "He'd be a good one to bring in as we've got a couple of suspensions coming up." Caley Thistle, who have defender Josh Meekings out for two months following knee surgery, visit Celtic in Saturday's Scottish Cup tie before resuming their Premiership campaign away to Hearts on 18 February. The Highlanders are three points adrift at the bottom of the division with 14 league games remaining. "We go there [to Celtic Park] with no pressure - probably the only Premiership team without pressure," added Foran. "Celtic are through in most people's minds. You're away from the stresses of the league campaign and the boys are looking forward to it. "Given where we are in the league, it could be draining for some players. Some it will affect, some it won't. I had a go publicly last week and got the response I was after [in the 2-2 draw with Dundee]. "You've got to keep that mindset positive and your breaks will come. "Celtic are playing with extra pressure on their shoulders going for the treble." Piper Kevin Glover, of The Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2nd Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland (2 SCOTS), marked the day near Camp Qargha. Cpl Glover, from Palnackie, in Dumfries and Galloway, is on his third tour of Afghanistan. 2 SCOTS deployed to Kabul in July in support of Nato operations to advise Afghan security institutions. The deployment is part of the UK's commitment to provide training to help the government and its own police service defend itself. The Midsteeple Quarter project has been developed as a response to a string of shop closures. Initial plans will be discussed at the Bakers Oven building on the town's High Street later this month. Over two days on 15 and 16 November it will become a "project hub" for the venture and is seeking public input on how to take the scheme forward. Matt Baker of community development trust The Stove Network said: "Dumfries has seen the closure of 18 businesses in the last four months, and Midsteeple Quarter is an urgent response to this. "Without help, the situation is likely to get worse. "This is a bold initiative that will see local people developing their own High Street as a contemporary living, working, socialising, learning and enterprising hub." Education is to be a key battleground in May's Holyrood elections, with SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon also vowing to put it "front and centre". Ms Dugdale said funding education "has to be a national priority again". The Scottish Conservatives are also campaigning on the topic, calling for the creation of 10 "skills academies". Ms Dugdale was the first of the party leaders to address the David Hume Institute on the subject of their vision for Scotland for the next five years. She said investing in early-years education was "our most important economic policy", claiming education was an "easy target" for cuts after local authorities were squeezed in the recent draft budget. The Scottish Labour leader said: "In Scotland today the hardship of austerity is felt by too many and ambition and aspiration is felt by too few. The OECD found the achievement gap between the most and least deprived growing in our schools. "So I have proposed that we take radical action to change the way we fund education, so that achievement and opportunity are not determined by how much a child's parents earn. "We would introduce a Fair Start Fund which follows every child from a poorer family to school. £1000 for every child from a poor background in primary school, £300 for every child from a poorer family in nursery school. By linking funding to children we would ensure that every school has an attainment fund equal to its needs." Ms Dugdale's speech came on the same day as Ms Sturgeon announced £4m of funding to improve educational attainment in schools across Scotland. The money, part of a £100m Attainment Scotland Fund announced last year, will be distributed between 57 schools to fund projects to improve literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing. The first minister said: "I've made it perfectly clear that closing the attainment gap between Scotland's least and most deprived children is one of my key goals. "We want teachers and pupils to get creative, be excited about learning and come up with imaginative approaches to it; to find out what works and share that with others. "With education being key to the future of Scotland's children and in the future of Scotland's economic health, this is a wise investment." Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson picked the same day to announce an education policy of her own, calling for the creation of 10 new "skills academies" The party has pledged an extra £60m to Scotland's colleges as part of its election platform, and wants to create 10,000 new apprenticeships by 2020. Ms Davidson said: "Scotland has a desperate need for a more skilled workforce - yet in recent years we've seen college places cut and funding reduced. "We need to value a vocational education at least as much as an academic one. The current imbalance is absurd and desperately needs to be addressed. "We must do better. By bringing industry and government together, we can make Scotland the skills capital of Europe." The Scottish Liberal Democrats have also singled out education as an important policy area, calling for a "pupil premium" to commit additional funding to students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Party leader Willie Rennie said Scotland's "once proud education system" had "slipped in world standing" under the SNP, adding: "Children and young people deserve a good quality education with nursery education and a pupil premium to give every child a chance of a good job." The Scottish Greens said Scotland could have "a better education system that gives all young people the opportunities they deserve". Children and young people spokeswoman Isla O'Reilly said: "Class sizes are the largest they've been since 2007, teachers are overworked and additional support-needs provision has been cut. Tackling these issues should be the priorities if we are to improve the chances of children from poorer backgrounds." The proposals for the People's Market are due to be discussed by Wrexham Council on Wednesday. The council said the arts centre would be twice the size of the former Oriel gallery, which was housed in the town centre library. But Plaid Cymru's Carrie Harper said there were doubts over cost, funding of the project and the location. "There is a need for an arts centre in the town and the examples we've seen of voluntary grassroots hubs such as Undegun and Galeri 3B in empty shops have been a welcome boost for the town's cultural life," she said. "But doubts remain as to whether spending more than £4m on converting parts of the People's Market and adjoining car park into an arts hub is the best way forward. "It appears to be more of an attempt to make use of an existing building rather than creative thinking and providing the best location for the arts to thrive." Councillor Neil Rogers, lead member for economic development and regeneration, said in December the plans were part of a "wider strategy to support the regeneration of the town centre". The project would be funded by the Welsh government, Arts Council of Wale and Wrexham Council. The council will also hear an update on how the first year of a £10,5m regeneration programme has gone. Firearms specialist PC Anthony Long did not act "lawfully when he opened fire" on Azelle Rodney, 24, in north London in April 2005, the Old Bailey was told. Mr Long, 58 and from Surrey, denies the murder of Mr Rodney, who was hit by six of the shots and fatally injured. Mr Long suspected the gang was en-route to an armed robbery, the jury heard. Opening the case, prosecutor Max Hill QC said analysis of the shooting pieced together from footage of the operation - which was being filmed for training purposes -showed Mr Long opened fire six hundredths of a second after his vehicle pulled alongside the car Mr Rodney was in. He told the jury the officer opened fire so quickly "he cannot have taken any time to observe anything happening" inside the suspects' car. "The majority of those shots caused fatal injuries to Azelle Rodney, culminating in the final two shots which were fired into the top of Azelle Rodney's head," he said. Armed officers had been authorised to use special tactics to arrest a gang they believed was on its way to commit an armed robbery on the evening of 30 April, the court heard. Three police cars pursued and surrounded the VW Golf containing Mr Rodney and two other suspects, Wesley Lovell and Frank Graham. Mr Long fired rapidly from the open window of an unmarked police car at the suspects' car when it came to a halt in Hale Lane, Mill Hill during the "hard stop". Jurors were shown the video, filmed from police car behind Mr Long's vehicle, and heard an unidentified man, who was not PC Long, saying "Sweet as... sweet as... sweet as" as the shots were fired. "The prosecution say that it was not necessary for Mr Long to open fire upon the Golf and Azelle Rodney," said Mr Hill. "Therefore, we say, Mr Long was not acting lawfully when he opened fire. "Mr Long's actions in deliberately killing Azelle Rodney, when it was not necessary to do so, make Mr Long guilty of murder," he said. The prosecutor said he did not wish to "belittle the onerous duties" carried out by specialist firearms officers like Mr Long and his team, but that with those duties came "onerous responsibilities." Mr Long, from Leatherhead, joined the police in 1975 and had 30 years' experience of handling weapons when he shot Mr Rodney, the jury heard. Mr Hill said it was "imperative that firearms officers behaved professionally at all times and only took the extreme step of opening fire in public when absolutely necessary". Mr Long who is now retired, was using a short-barrelled semi-automatic rifle and would have had to manually pull the trigger to fire a shot, the court heard. The trial continues.

The 25-year-old injured his knee in Wednesday's 72-run victory over the tourists at Headingley. He will be assessed by England's medical staff when the team arrive on the south coast later on Thursday. Stokes made 25 runs in the first ODI before suffering the injury as South Africa chased England's 339-6. He bowled two overs - conceding 14 runs - before leaving the field for treatment. He returned to the field but "was not fit enough to bowl", captain Eoin Morgan said after the game. Media playback is not supported on this device

England all-rounder Ben Stokes is an injury doubt for the second one-day international against South Africa in Southampton on Saturday.

The council said funding would reduce from £70,000 this year to £50,000 next year and £30,000 in 2017-18. The funding will be dependent on the garden improving its Welsh language usage and becoming more sustainable. The garden said it was pleased the council had agreed to continue its support. The council's executive board agreed in principle to a £50,000 grant for a regency landscape project - if a £6.7m heritage lottery bid is successful. It said it wants to meet with Welsh government officials to discuss the level of support it provides. The garden could work with the Mentrau Iaith project to become bilingual and look at further commercial ventures to draw in more visitors, councillors added. Council leader Emlyn Dole said it needed change, direction and marketing. Dr Rosie Plummer, the garden's director, welcomed the funding pledge towards the regency restoration project. "We are pleased to hear, too, that councillors have agreed to continue to recognise the important contribution the garden makes to the area and to continue to support it," she added.

Funding the National Botanic Garden of Wales receives from Carmarthenshire council will be scaled down.

Team Sky's Chris Froome fell behind a split in the peloton but moved up to ninth overall, 21 seconds off Lampaert. Quick-Step's Lampaert broke away in the crosswinds in the final 2km and held on to win his first Grand Tour stage in Gruissan, France. Team-mate Matteo Trentin came second, with Britain's Adam Blythe third. Tour de France champion Froome, 32, finished 16th on the stage - eight seconds down on Lampaert and overall rival Vincenzo Nibali - in a group also including compatriot Adam Yates and Fabio Aru. Other favourites Romain Bardet and Alberto Contador finished as part of a large group five seconds behind Froome, who is aiming to become just the third man to complete the Tour-Vuelta double in the same year. "We were probably a little bit short coming into the final few kilometres, but I'm still happy with that result as I think we did a great ride," said Froome. "There were a few seconds lost to Nibali and Esteban Chaves, but some gained on Contador and some of the other general classification guys so we can be happy with that with the mountains [on Monday]." The 203.4km flat stage was expected to end in a bunch sprint but Quick-Step expertly tore the race apart in high winds to release Lampaert solo into the final kilometre. "During the race we planned that if we could make an echelon, we would try in the last 10km," said Lampaert. "We went full for the last three kilometres and they shouted at me to go - I knew I could ride one kilometre very fast and it worked out. "I don't know what's happening - it's really crazy for me [to be leading the race]." Overnight leader Rohan Dennis missed the break and finished 13 seconds down but BMC team-mate Daniel Oss moved up to third overall, behind Lampaert and Trentin. Monday's mountainous third stage starts in France and takes the race into Spain for the first time before finishing in Andorra. 1. Yves Lampaert (Bel/Quick-Step Floors) 4hrs 36mins 13secs 2.

Belgium's Yves Lampaert caught out the sprinters with a late attack to win stage two and take the leader's red jersey at the Vuelta a Espana.

Police said there were "a few pockets of disorder" and that CCTV around Birmingham's St Andrew's ground and the city centre would be reviewed. Four people were arrested for disorder-related offences. Birmingham City won 2-1 to dent Wolves' hopes of promotion from the Championship. The match was "comprehensively risk-assessed over many weeks" and there was "a strong police presence in and around" St Andrew's, the West Midlands force said. Match commander Ch Supt James Andronov said: "Some people have questioned the decision to allow both sets of fans to leave the ground at the same time. "It is rare these days to hold back supporters - it's not been done at this fixture for several years - as evidence suggests to do so often increases tension and the prospect of trouble." He said, as with all large operations, the force would review the policing of the match. A man has claimed to have become the first to catch all the characters available in the UK. Sam Clark posted an online video showing he had caught 143 virtual characters when playing the game around Southampton and Gosport. The 33-year-old said he has spent "pretty much every waking hour" on the app since it was launched on 6 July. Mr Clark said he had lost more than two stone in weight during the process and claimed his final catch was a Lapras found "round the back of Primark". The online augmented reality game - which is attracting millions of players - involves finding virtual Pokemon characters in real locations across the world. Mr Clark said he completed the collection of all the 142 characters available in the UK, as well as a Tauros, - exclusive to the US, but which he had succeeded in hatching from an egg. He said he is "pretty damn sure" he is the first UK player to reach the level, and has not heard of anyone making a claim to have got there first. A Brooklyn-based collector, Nick Johnson, was reported as completing the set in the US. Mr Clark, a phone repair engineer and lifelong gaming enthusiast, said he had spent hours walking around Southampton's city centre parks to try to track down the creatures. He also said Town Quay, where he caught a Gyarados, seemed to be a "hotspot" in the city. Mr Clark set up the Cyberjam Gaming group with other gaming enthusiasts and said more than 200 people had recently attended a Pokemon Go meet-up they had organised. "This is the game I've waited for for 20 years. It's taken this long for the technology to catch up. "It brings people together - there is no competition, everyone is just chuffed if you catch them. It's unreal - when you are in the park you can tell who is looking for them and everyone smiles and waves," he added. Mr Duarte stood down from his post in October to face corruption charges and disappeared a week later. Officers searching his luxury ranch seized 17 paintings believed to be by famous artists such as Joan Miro, Fernando Botero and Leonora Carrington. Police continue to search for Mr Duarte, who has been charged with organised crime and money laundering. Mr Duarte denied the accusations made against him before his disappearance but has not spoken out since. Veracruz Governor Miguel Angel Yunes Linares, who took over as governor last week, said the works of art seized on Sunday would be auctioned off. The proceeds would be used to finance a children's hospital, he said. Mr Yunes alleged that the property had been furnished using money siphoned off from public funds. "More than 200m pesos ($9.7m; £7.6m) stolen from the people of Veracruz were spent doing up this house so that Duarte could have people over, now he won't host anything any more," he said. Officials said the paintings would still have to be verified by experts but they believe they are dealing with works by Mexican painters David Alfaro Siqueiros and Rufino Tamayo, Spanish artist Joan Miro and English-born Mexican painter Leonora Carrington. Officers also found a sculpture by Mexican artist Javier Marin and copies of historic documents such as Mexico's Declaration of Independence. They said the combined value of the works of art seized would still have to be determined. They had been stored in a cellar in Mr Duarte's weekend retreat. The ranch has 25 rooms, a helicopter landing pad, two tennis courts and extensive grounds just outside the city of Cordoba, in north-eastern Veracruz. Ellen Pao was asked to pay nearly $1m (£660,000) in legal fees after a jury found in favour of investor Kleiner Perkins Caulfield and Byers. The firm had said it would waive the costs if she did not appeal. Ms Pao had claimed she missed out on promotions during her time as a junior partner because of her gender. She also said she was dismissed in 2012, after she complained about her treatment. The firm maintained its decisions were based on her performance and, following a high profile court case, a jury rejected her claims. In addition to punitive damages, Ms Pao, now the interim chief executive of community website Reddit, had also asked for $16m (£10.7m) in compensation for lost wages. She has filed a notice of appeal at the state court in San Francisco. Neither Ms Pao nor her lawyer has made any comments. "A 12-member jury found decisively in favour of KPCB [Kleiner Perkins Caulfield and Byers] on all four claims," said Christina Lee, a spokesperson for the investor. "We remain committed to gender diversity in the workplace and believe that women in technology would be best served by focusing on this issue outside of continued litigation." At a conference in California last month, Ms Pao said she had no regrets about the case. "I didn't plan on becoming a symbol. It was more telling my story," she said, in a live blog by conference organiser Re/code. Ms Pao added that the revelations made in court, where she was portrayed by the defence as a difficult employee with performance issues - had affected her both personally and professionally. "I had a hard time getting a job. It's out there - I'm not that likeable and I'm a poor performer. There were people who wouldn't talk to me. "There were people who were nervous to be seen with me. You have to have a lot of conviction you were right… and a lot of toughness to weather through the personal attacks." The case put sexism in Silicon Valley under the spotlight. The technology sector's struggle to attract women to the workforce is well documented. Both Apple and its arch-rival Google revealed last year that 70% of their global workforces were male. Google announced yesterday that 21% of the tech staff it hired in 2014 were women. "Though we still have a long way to go, we're seeing some early progress," it said. Christopher Spivey, of Rochford, Essex, posted a series of comments on social media saying that Fusilier Rigby's killing was made up to provoke anti-Islamic feelings. At Chelmsford Magistrates' Court, the 52-year-old denied harassment and sending grossly offensive messages. He was given a six month prison term suspended for two years. Fusilier Rigby, from Greater Manchester, was murdered as he returned to his barracks in Woolwich, south-east London, on 22 May 2013. Prosecutor Simon Bravey said Fusilier Rigby's mother, Lyn Rigby, was the first to be alerted to Spivey's Facebook posts. In a statement read to the court, Mrs Rigby said she found his claims "extremely disturbing and sick". Spivey also posted the family's home addresses and private photographs and made direct contact with the family. He contacted Fusilier Rigby's sister, Sarah McClure and claimed her husband, Rob, also a soldier, and Fusilier Rigby were the same person. Mrs McClure said this left her fearing that her family could be targeted by extremists. Spivey made the bizarre claims on a website alongside expressing doubts as to whether the Tunisia beach massacre and the Glasgow bin lorry deaths happened. Judge Woollard said: "Families are understandably distressed to have lost loved ones and then find themselves subject to these claims." Solicitor Miss Williamson, mitigating, said that Spivey did not accept his guilt and plans to appeal against his conviction. She added: "It may have been unpleasant but it's not at the most serious end of harassment." The map, found in the 1980s, was identified as a late 17th century wall map of the world produced by the Dutch engraver Gerald Valck. It was delicately washed and cleaned by conservationists at the National Library of Scotland. It is now being put on public display at Castle Fraser, near Dunecht. It had become known as the chimney map because it was initially said to have been found stuffed up a chimney. However, it is now understood to have been found under a floorboard during renovations on Drumnahoy House that was once part of the Castle Fraser estate. Paula Swan, National Trust for Scotland property manager at Castle Fraser, said: "We are honoured to welcome this amazing map back to the Castle Fraser estate. "It is a fascinating piece and of such historical significance." Mr Miliband, who was beaten to the leadership by his brother Ed, also said Labour's consecutive election defeats had "come for a very clear reason". Voters had decided Labour had "turned the page backwards", he said. Mr Miliband quit Parliament in 2013 to work for the International Rescue Committee charity in New York. He had been the favourite to replace Gordon Brown as Labour leader but lost out to his younger sibling in the 2011 contest. Labour's defeat was "doubly painful" because of his brother's involvement, he told the Times. "I don't want him to be hurt and I don't want him to be vilified," he said. "There is no consolation in any sense of vindication, frankly, because I care about the country and I care about the party." A contest to replace Ed Miliband is under way, with Andy Burnham, Liz Kendall, Yvette Cooper, Mary Creagh and Jeremy Corbyn vying for the job. The winner will be announced before the party conference in September. In a separate interview with CNN, Mr Miliband refused to say which of the candidates he was supporting, urging them all to reflect on the reason for Labour's election losses. "And the reason is that the public have concluded that instead of building on the strengths and remedying the weaknesses of the Blair years the party has turned the page backwards rather than turning the page forward," he said, calling for a return to the "combination of economic dynamism and social justice that defined the success of the Labour Party in the 1990s and early 2000s." He also used his CNN interview to warn against Britain leaving the European Union, saying it would no longer be taken seriously by the United States if it withdrew. "It's almost like Britain would be resigning from the world," he added. A report by a commission he chairs said there had been a "chilling effect" on organisations who feared breaking the new law. He told the BBC he expected some campaigners to face legal challenges. The Lobbying Act tightened regulation on campaign spending during election periods. The BBC has been told the Catholic Church in England and Wales consulted lawyers before writing to congregations because of concerns about the new law. Crossbench peer Lord Harries of Pentregarth told BBC Radio 4's World at One: "We've had clear evidence that a number of campaigning groups have already decided not to campaign or not to join with other bodies to campaign on an issue because they are frightened of running foul of the act." The report from the Commission on Civil Society and Democratic Engagement - shared with the World at One - found that more than half of the organisations it surveyed said compliance with the Lobbying Act made their work more difficult even before the election period began. It is due to be published later this week. Under the new rules, non-party political campaigners must comply with lower spending limits than existed at previous elections, from last September to polling day. More activities - such as public events, market research and press conferences - have also been brought under the scope of the act. Charities and campaign groups' work counts towards the spending total if it can be seen as intended to influence voters, and is aimed at the public. Organisations can be fined organisations up to £20,000 for breaching the rules, by elections watchdog the Electoral Commission. One anonymous organisation told the Electoral Commission it feared politicians would use the act to complain about its activities to harm it financially. Lord Harries, a crossbench peer, said: "I would be very surprised if at the end of this election there weren't a number of legal cases where complaints had been brought against campaigning groups." A Cabinet Office spokesman said the government had, on the recommendation of the watchdog, amended its plans when the bill was going through Parliament, in response to concerns. Two major religious groups - the Quakers and the Salvation Army - are to formally register with the Electoral Commission in a bid to comply with the rules. Both the Church of England and the Catholic Church in England and Wales have sought legal advice and decided not to register. The Catholic Church took advice before sending a letter to congregations that will urge them to question candidates about their policies, but will not tell them which politicians to support. Charities have complained the new rules are unclear and tie them up in red tape. The Commission was formed by groups that, like Lord Harries, opposed the new lobbying rules. He rejected the suggestion it amounted to a left wing coalition - pointing out it had the support of pro-hunting group The Countryside Alliance. Jessica Metheringam, from the Quakers, said the law was never intended to include church groups - and misunderstood them. She said individual churches were concerned about holding individual events on nuclear weapons and food banks. "It makes an assumption we have a large database of Quaker supports, we push a button and they do something political - that's not how a church works," she said. The Quakers - which opposes nuclear weapons and the replacement of Trident - has had to divert resources to monitoring and logging their own activities, she added. Friends of the Earth's Liz Hutchins said: "It's hard to escape the conclusion the government wants to escape criticism of unpopular policies before the elections." The Cabinet Office spokesman said: "We want to make the political system more accountable and prevent a situation where opaque and unaccountable groups spend large sums of money attempting to influence the political system." The Electoral Commission said it had consulted with campaigners and produced guidance. "Where a significant amount of money is being spent on campaigning, it's right that voters can see who is spending that money and what outcome they are campaigning for," a spokesman said. The Spain international has not trained for three days and has not travelled for the Premier League leaders' match with the champions (17:30 GMT). The news comes amid reports he is the subject of an offer to move to China that would be worth £30m a year. Costa, 28, has scored 14 goals and provided five assists this season. Chelsea declined to comment. It is understood Blues owner Roman Abramovich is not interested in releasing him from his contract, which expires in 2019, and would not entertain the idea of being forced to do so. Speaking in early January, Costa admitted he wanted to leave Chelsea last summer, but said he was now happy to stay. Chelsea had been hopeful of agreeing a contract extension with the Brazil-born forward, but the dispute with fitness coach Julio Tous raises new doubts. Costa joined the Blues for £32m in 2014, and was understood to be close to a return to former club Atletico Madrid after a difficult 2015-16 campaign. "Did I want to go? Yes, yes, I was about to leave," he said earlier this month. "But not because of Chelsea. "There was one thing I wanted to change for family reasons but it wasn't to be, and I continue to be happy here." Shortly afterwards, manager Antonio Conte said he believed the striker was now "completely focused" on "fighting for this club and for his shirt". He added: "When Diego decided to stay, I wasn't concerned. He is showing great patience in the right way, in every moment of the game." Midfielders Jon Mikel Obi and Oscar recently left Chelsea for Chinese clubs - Tianjin TEDA and Shanghai SIPG respectively - while ex-Manchester City and United striker Carlos Tevez joined Shanghai Shenhua from Boca Juniors in a deal reportedly worth £310,000 a week. Former England midfielder Jermaine Jenas on BBC Radio 5 live Everything has been smooth sailing for Chelsea up to now. Imagine the faces of Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham. This is what they have been waiting for. Another bid from the Chinese market seems to be rocking the boat of another top club. It's a huge problem. When these situations arise, the players are probably thinking they'll go and do two years and then come back and play in the Premier League. Financially, they're not just supporting their immediate family, they are supporting their whole family… aunts, uncles and cousins. I'd still give Chelsea a good chance of winning the title even if they lost him. With the lead they now have, I think they can cope if they replace him. You don't want to keep players at your club who don't want to be there. Yes, Costa has been a huge part of Chelsea's success but he's not Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Everton winger Yannick Bolasie on BBC Radio 5 live Diego Costa is a problem for any defender. He is strong, quick and doesn't stop running. He sets the tone for all the other Chelsea players. It's frightening the way the Chinese market is acting right now. Deputy Chief Constable Dave Thompson said the decision not to identify the 10 longest-hunted would be reviewed. It comes after the force refused to release the names on privacy grounds, in response to a freedom-of-information request from the Birmingham Mail. They include crimes such as murder, attempted murder and rape. Responding to the Mail's request, the force originally said the information was being withheld as it "would breach the third party's data protection rights". It went on to say: "It would be unfair to release this information where any person could be identified from the data and in this case the right to privacy outweighs any public interest in release." Birmingham MP Khalid Mahmood, told the Birmingham Mail the decision was "absolutely bizzare". Now Mr Thompson has told the BBC "we got this one wrong" and looked "silly", although there were some circumstances when information should not be provided through such requests. One suspect has since been named by the force - Luke Anderson, 33, is wanted in connection with an attempted murder in 2001. West Midlands Police said two of the other nine suspects were believed to have died outside the UK, while there were "ongoing active investigations" into two others wanted for murder who are believed to be abroad. In one historical child sex offence investigation, police said the Crown Prosecution Service had decided not to take action against an 81-year-old wanted in collection with an allegation made in 2010. "We have to strike this balance with people who are wanted and not convicted, when people are charged with offences, clearly we name them as part of a policy and that goes through the courts, it's about transparent justice," Mr Thompson said. "I just think in this case actually there's probably some things we should have done with that information that would have made us look perhaps a little bit more sensible. "We've ended up looking like bureaucrats who are trying to hide criminals. We're not, we're in the business of catching them." It looked into the lens at Abergynolwyn Station, in Gwynedd, on the Talyllyn Railway. The image shows the feathered friend peering into shot. It's not the first animal to jump in on a picture! King Abdullah II, Jordan's monarch since 1999, has extensive powers: he appoints governments, approves legislation and is able to dissolve parliament. Over the past few years, he has been facing growing demands for political reform, and following the popular uprising in Tunisia which led to the flight of the president in January 2011, King Abdullah dismissed his government and appointed the first in a series of prime ministers to oversee the introduction of political change. Previously he had backed a 10-year programme for political, social and economic reform and supported a plan for elected local councils. Conservative legislators were apprehensive about the proposals. Balancing diplomatic interests with domestic demands has been tricky for King Abdullah. The country's peace agreement with Israel and its close ties with the US are unpopular with many Jordanians. In the wake of the November 2005 suicide bombings in Amman, the king declared that security and stability were top priorities and called for a strategy to deal with the "changed circumstances". His efforts to counter Islamist extremism have at times proved controversial. In September 2014 the king publicly joined the US coalition against Islamic State militants in Syria, a move which has prompted opposition in Jordan. Abdullah is the eldest son of the late King Hussein and his British-born second wife, Toni. The couple divorced in 1972. Born in 1962 and educated in Britain and the US, he was named as crown prince shortly after his birth. The king transferred the title to his own brother, Hassan, in 1965, only to return it to Abdullah in 1999. He is married to a Palestinian - an asset since most Jordanians are of Palestinian origin - and enjoys car racing, water sports and collecting antique weapons. He is a career soldier and once led Jordan's special forces. Elmohamady, 29, is reunited with former boss Steve Bruce after Villa activated a release clause in his Hull contract. The Egyptian international made 218 appearances and scored 12 goals for the Tigers after initially joining them on loan from Sunderland in 2012. He is Villa's third summer signing following former England captain John Terry and goalkeeper Sam Johnstone. Elmohamady formerly played under Bruce for both Sunderland and Hull. The Egyptian, who can play at both right-back and right midfield, helped win promotion from the Championship for Bruce's Hull side in both the 2012-13 and 2015-16 seasons.

You asked us "Why are there black steel horses along the rail line between Birmingham and Wolverhampton?" And "Were any bombs dropped on Stoke-on-Trent during World War Two?" Here's how we have answered your questions. Chris from Ipstones, Staffordshire asked: "Did the Romans make pottery in Stoke?" Stoke-on-Trent, also known as the Potteries, has been a production centre for ceramics for 300 years, but does its creative heritage stretch back to Roman times? A kiln dated AD 43-69 was discovered in Trent Vale during excavations between 1955 and 1957. And nearby a potter's workshop and a fort was found. Pieces of earthenware found inside the kiln are the earliest known in The Potteries. Then, as now, potters in Stoke were making kitchenware but they also had an eye to the afterlife. From a purely geographical point of view, the answer is "yes", Telford sits within the historic county boundary of Shropshire. But in 1998 Telford got its own unitary authority, separate from the rest of the county and so is no longer part of the local authority area controlled by Shropshire Council. Here's a clip from Midlands Today back in 2014 with sculptor Kevin Atherton who created the 12 life-size steel horses. There are around 20 recorded bombings across Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire, said the city council. Staffordshire County Council has photographs of bomb damage including this one on Old Stoke Road, in January 1941. Dorothy Hordell's memory of bomb raids over Hanley was recorded by Stoke-on-Trent libraries. She describes the moment bombs were dropped on Birches Head Lane. "It seemed the world was on fire and everybody was running for cover," she said. For more records visit the BBC's archive of World War Two memories for Stoke & Staffordshire. Celia Hatfield asked: "What happened to the memorial bench in Church Road, Malvern Link?" A "missing" bench in memory of a World War One soldier will be returned in time for the centenary of his death. The bench remembered Pte Norman Caswell Sayer, whose mother lived in adjoining Lower Hoswell Road. Local handyman Jon Burgess said he took the bench for repair: "The aim is to have it restored and back where it belongs by April 2017." "We've got the basics done and I've got the backing of a number of local people to supply the traditional materials and their skills to complete it," said Mr Burgess.

Everton had efforts from Romelu Lukaku and Ashley Williams cleared off the line before they got a penalty when Williams was tripped by Phil Bardsley. Shay Given pushed Leighton Baines' spot-kick on to a post but the ball then rebounded off Given's head and in. Stoke's Marko Arnautovic hit the crossbar, but Everton held on to win. England manager Sam Allardyce was at Goodison Park and is set to name his first squad since replacing Roy Hodgson for the World Cup qualifier in Slovakia on 4 September. Allardyce would have been hugely impressed with Everton midfielder Ross Barkley, who produced a man-of-the-match performance. Barkley, who was in Hodgson's Euro 2016 squad but did not feature in any matches, helped drive Everton forward in a game they dominated. The 22-year-old midfielder was booked inside the opening 10 minutes, but that did not stop him producing an energetic box-to-box performance that saw him denied three times by Given. Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross, who won one England cap in 2012, did not do much wrong, nor did Everton defenders Baines and Phil Jagielka. Mason Holgate, 19, was only making his third Premier League appearance and the England Under-20 international looks a bright prospect for Everton. He was brave in defence and also attacked when possible, including one link-up with Romelu Lukaku where the Belgian was denied by an excellent Shawcross block. Stoke have finished in the top 10 in the past three seasons but have now only scored twice in three league games and are bottom of the table. They can feel hard done by with the penalty decision, which saw Williams fall over after clashing with Bardsley as the pair rushed towards the near post as a corner was being taken from the right. Nevertheless, it was still a deserved victory for the hosts, who move up to second, with only a fine performance from Given denying them further goals. However, Stoke could have gained a point when, only minutes after falling behind, Arnautovic's shot deflected off Everton goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg's legs on to the bar. Stoke opted to pick Peter Crouch after the former England striker scored a hat-trick in their 4-0 win over Stevenage in the second round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday. The forward failed to create any chances, but did produce an overhead kick to clear Williams' header off the goalline. Ruud Gullit: "He's working hard but looks off-sync. He gets in the right positions and I think it's just a matter of time." Alan Shearer: "You have to stay strong and have the belief that something will go for you. You have to try to not lose confidence and it will change for him, it is just a matter of time." Media playback is not supported on this device Everton manager Ronald Koeman: "If you don't score the second and kill the game then it is always difficult in the last few minutes. "Today we were not really clinical in the box. We had some good opportunities and need to be more aggressive, but the performance was good, it is a good start to the season and we can build on that. "Two wins and one draw is very positive, but we can do much better and we need to improve in several aspects." On the penalty that Everton were awarded, he added: "It is so difficult to analyse that situation. There are enough reasons for Mark Hughes to be angry. If everyone whistles for these situations you would accept it, but one referee does and another one doesn't." Media playback is not supported on this device Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "We are disappointed with the award of the penalty. I feared at the start of the season that some teams would not get a fair crack at the whip and that is happening to us. It is a very harsh decision in my view and that is two dubious penalties against us. "I don't know what the referee has seen in terms of a clash. Ashley Williams is slightly ahead of Phil (Bardsley), ran across his path, there is a clash of legs, he goes down and we are penalised. All we are asking for is consistency. "We are going to have to consider zonal marking as it is too damaging for us." The international break means it will be two weeks before these sides are next in action. Stoke will be aiming for their first league win of the season when they host Tottenham on Saturday, 10 September, before Everton travel to Sunderland on Monday, 12 September.

Part of its work will be to publish a list of the 10 most-wanted fraudsters and improve intelligence sharing between banks and police. Figures suggest five million frauds occur every year in England and Wales. Last week, figures showed a rise in so-called CEO fraud, where a worker moves cash after a "bogus boss" email. In 2015, fraud was included in the official Crime Survey of England and Wales for the first time. The survey suggested that during the previous year there were 5.1m frauds, including those relating to plastic cards and those committed over the phone or online, with just over half involving some financial loss. The Joint Fraud Taskforce will include Financial Fraud Action UK, the City of London Police, National Crime Agency, Bank of England, fraud prevention agency Cifas and CEOs of the major banks. The new taskforce will be announced by the home secretary at an event later on Wednesday, which will be attended by Bank of England governor Mark Carney. The home secretary is expected to say that "fraud shames our financial system". "It undermines the credibility of the economy, ruins businesses and causes untold distress to people of all walks of life," she is to say. "For too long, there has been too little understanding of the problem and too great a reluctance to take steps to tackle it." The force's task list will include: In the 12 months ending in March 2015, 230,630 fraud offences were recorded by police in England and Wales, an increase of 9% on the previous year. A further 389,718 fraud offences were reported by industry bodies, 17% up on the year before. Figures from Financial Fraud Action UK, the body which co-ordinates the finance industry's response to fraud, show losses from online banking fraud rose by 48% in 2014 compared with 2013. Overall losses on UK cards totalled £479m in 2014, up 6% on 2013 - the third consecutive year of increase. New figures also show a surge in what is known as CEO or "bogus boss" fraud over the past six months. From July 2015 until January 2016, 994 reports of CEO fraud were made to Action Fraud, the UK's national fraud and internet crime reporting centre. The fraud will typically start with an email being sent from a fraudster - pretending to be a senior figure in the company - to a member of staff in its finance department. The member of staff will be told that they need to quickly transfer money to a certain bank account for a specific reason. The largest reported amount of money given by a member of staff to a fraudster was £18.5m at a global producer of healthcare products - but the average amount is more in the region of £35,000. Steve Proffitt, of Action Fraud, warned businesses to be on high alert. "Employees should be encouraged to double check everything they do and never be rushed into transferring large amounts of money even if they do think that it's an important task given to them by their CEO," he said. The Flybe service from Glasgow to Belfast on 16 December 2014 made an emergency landing when its left engine caught fire. Some of the 76 passengers sustained minor injuries escaping the plane. The fire was extinguished by firefighters at Belfast International Airport. A report by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said a cracked washer on the aircraft's Pratt and Whitney Canada PW150A turboprop engine became loose, causing the oil pump to fail. This resulted in the engine overheating and a fire starting. The pilots on the Bombardier DHC-8-402 plane noticed a warning light and audio warning during the flight to Belfast City Airport. After feeling a "judder through the airframe" they began to turn the aircraft back towards Scotland. Passengers and cabin crew heard three "whooshing" noises and saw a large blue flame coming from the engine. After a fire warning sounded again, the pilots diverted to the nearest airfield, Belfast International Airport. The report said some passengers had to jump to the ground after the plane made an emergency landing because rear exits were not equipped with slides. A number fell, receiving "minor cuts and bruises". No-one was seriously injured. Sir Tony Cunningham, who was knighted two years ago, has represented the constituency since 2001. The 61-year-old said he felt it was the right time to go and he planned to spent more time with his family. Labour held the seat with a 4,575 majority in the last election and it will now begin a selection process for a candidate to defend it in May 2015. Locally-born Sir Tony was a teacher, local councillor, then mayor of Workington and became an MEP in 1994. Fellow Cumbrian MP Tim Farron, who holds the Westmorland and Lonsdale seat for the Liberal Democrats, tweeted: "Sorry to hear that Tony Cunningham has decided to stand down at the next election. "He was a great MP & a kind, thoughtful and decent man." Lauren McMurchie fired past Jenna Fife after less than a minute, Julie Fleeting was then twice on target and Fiona Brown lobbed in City's fourth. Celtic leapfrogged opponents Spartans as they won 2-0 away from home and Rangers won 2-0 at Forfar Farmington. Stirling University also won on the road, a 1-0 triumph at Aberdeen. Other organisations that will benefit include transgender theatre group Trans Creative, Leicester Dance Theatre and Diverse City. The aim is to enhance diversity in England's arts sector. Kate O'Donnell from Trans Creative said it will "enable us to... raise the visibility of transgender work". She added: "This is just the start - Trans Creative is looking forward to making transgender arts and cultural activity part of the mainstream, so that it truly reflects what's going on in society today." Abid Hussain, director of diversity at Arts Council England, said: "We want to ensure our investment supports and nurtures creative talent from all communities and backgrounds." Trish Wheatley, director of DAO, said it was "an important moment" for her organisation. "We are looking forward to working with all our partners, new and old, to support a vibrant and inclusive artistic community that recognises the talents and voices of disabled artists," she said. Other organisations who will benefit include the Ort Gallery in Birmingham, One Latin Culture in Liverpool, the Milton Keynes Islamic Arts Heritage and Culture Organisation and Ballet Black. Beneficiaries will receive funding through the Art Council's Elevate fund, designed to strengthen organisations already contributing to enhancing diversity within the sector. Elevate was developed in response to an equality analysis led by the Arts Council in 2014. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram, or email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has written to those who have had open-heart surgery since January 2013. The letter warned of the risk of a rare bacterial infection linked to medical equipment. In total, 28 cases have been reported in the UK and 15 people are known to have died from the infection before 2015. Based on a briefing from the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, the BBC understood that no-one from Northern Ireland was affected. But a UK-wide investigation is looking at a possible link between Mycobacterium chimaera and a device used to heat and cool the blood. The device is essential for certain types of cardiac surgery. The Belfast Trust contacted patients who have undergone procedures for congenital heart disease, as well as those who have had heart valves repaired or replaced. In a statement, the trust said the risk to patients where the heater/cooler units were used was "very low", adding that the infection could not spread from person to person. It added that it was working closely with the Public Health Agency to monitor the situation. Dr Philip Veal, a health protection consultant, said: "The risk is very low and there have been a small number of cases across the UK. "The risk must be balanced against not having cardiac surgery which in many cases is life saving - so we would encourage patients to proceed with surgery as planned because risk is so small." However, the bacterial infection is potentially serious and people can die if they are not treated so the Trust is stressing the need for increased awareness among those who have had cardiac surgery. The symptoms include unexplained fevers and weight loss, increasing shortness of breath, night sweats, joint or muscle pain and nausea or vomiting or abdominal pain. Patients affected may also be abnormally tired or experience pain or redness around the site of their surgery. The symptoms can take a long time to appear and there is no screening test to see if patients will develop them in the future. Treatments, including antibiotics, are available, but the sooner people are diagnosed the better the outcome. A taskforce established by England's Public Health Agency in England in 2015 proposed a range of measures including enhanced cleaning and decontamination of units. Any staff involved were notified and, according to the PHA, informed and educated about what was involved. The trust statement said that as there were more common causes for the symptoms, there was "no need for patients to be alarmed or seek emergency treatment". Instead, concerned patients who have had surgery since 2013 are advised to make an appointment with their GP if the symptoms do occur. Family Fund, which gives out grants, will get less than £2m from the Welsh Government over three years, compared to the £2.5m each year it had received. Kate Wyke, from the charity Contact a Family, said money for household goods and other costs was a "lifeline". The Welsh Government said Family Fund was awarded the maximum available. Parents or carers on a range of benefits or with low incomes can apply for grants to pay for furniture and electrical appliances, days out and holidays, and specialist toys or computers. Supporters of the fund have said Wales is facing a cut of £5.5m over three years, while government funding in England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland will stay the same. Grants were being given to nearly 5,500 families last year, but that figure is expected to fall under new rules on who can apply. Since April, families cannot take part if they had a grant in the last three years. As a result, charities say only about 1,500 will get help in this financial year. Keith Bowen, director of Carers Wales, accused ministers of making the change "without considering the impact it would have on the most vulnerable families with disabled children". "The reduction in funding has come at a time when families with disabled children have been hit time and time again by cuts to welfare payments and disability services," he said. Ms Wyke added: "Families tell us that the grants provide a lifeline. "These are families who are already more likely to be living in poverty due to extra disability costs and the difficulties of juggling work and complex care. "What's so unfair is that if these families lived in Scotland, Northern Ireland or England they could still get a grant." Soura Shinton lives in Cardiff with her husband and two sons - including her youngest Eddie, who has cerebral palsy as a result of his premature birth. Family Funds has previously paid £500 for the family to go on a four-day holiday each year to relieve some of the pressure they live under. Ms Shinton, a full-time mother, told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales Programme: "Obviously with all the services being cut across Wales, it comes as no surprise that we turned to charities and organisations for support and their expertise. "As a normal family of four with only my husband's salary to depend on, obviously we can't afford any holidays. "Family Fund were very kind and considered our application. "We have taken the boys to Center Parcs. It was lovely and provided us with some family time, bonding. It was that little respite and time we spent together." She added: "For families with special needs children, it is a squeeze. "Now, we're going to be sitting in the house, without a holiday. Any extra money we have we put towards Edward's physiotherapy." Family Fund was awarded £1.5m over three years - the most the Welsh Government awards voluntary organisations working in social services. Another £400,000 will be made available "in order to try and become more sustainable in the future", social services minister Rebecca Evans told AMs in November. In May 2014, the Family Fund voiced concern over a delay in a Welsh Government decision on funding, which left 500 families waiting several weeks for their grant requests to be settled. A Welsh Government spokesman said: "The Sustainable Social Services Third Sector Grant Scheme brought together funding from four previous grant schemes to help third sector organisations deliver our ambitious agenda for social services in Wales. "Given that there was a great deal of interest in the scheme, with applications significantly outstripping the funding available, a decision was taken to limit the maximum grant available to any single project to £1.5m over three years. "To be clear, we are providing significant funding to a number of organisations through this fund." The statement added £22m had been allocated to 32 projects over three years. 8 December 2015 Last updated at 11:16 GMT Storm Desmond battered parts of northern England and some areas of Scotland at the weekend, leaving thousands of homes without electricity and forcing emergency services to use boats to get people to safety.

The rise in prices will "accelerate rapidly" during 2017 as the fall in sterling is passed on to consumers, according to the National Institute for Economic and Social Research (NIESR). The revised figure is sharply higher than the 3% it forecast in August. The economy also faces "significant risks" that could restrict growth. "Households have really got a choice. Do they spend less or do they start saving less?" Dr Angus Armstrong, director of macroeconomics at NIESR, told the BBC's Today programme. He said given the savings ratio was at its lowest level since 2008, "the most likely scenario is that they spend much less, hence the weaker [growth] forecast for next year." Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rose to 1% in September, up from 0.6% in August, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said last month. That was the highest rate for nearly two years as the cost of clothes, petrol and hotel rooms increased. Inflation means inflation, but who wins? Q&A: Inflation explained The Bank of England is expected to raise its forecasts for inflation in its quarterly Inflation Report on Thursday. The pound has fallen sharply against the dollar and euro since the Brexit vote and NIESR expected sterling to remain at about $1.22 and €1.11 both this year and next.

The cost of a cuppa: Typhoo tea, which imports all its tea leaves, said the sharp fall in the pound meant it had no choice but to increase prices Marmite and Pot Noodles: Food manufacturer Unilever says the pound's drop forced it to raise the wholesale price of these and many of its other products, which some supermarkets have passed on to customers Wine: Online wine retailer Naked Wines said it would raise the cost of its wine by 5% from November because of increasing import costs linked to sterling Rising prices for clothes, hotel rooms and petrol drove the official rate of inflation to 1% in September, its highest level for almost two years Model trains: Hornby and Dapol have both said they've increased prices between 10 and 20% due to the higher cost of imports Apple has increased the prices of its laptop and desktop computers in the UK by hundreds of pounds citing currency fluctuations as one of the reasons Microsoft said some of its UK business service prices would go up by 22% in 2017, reflecting the pound's weakened value against the euro Simon Kirby, head of macroeconomic modelling and forecasting at NIESR, said the fall in sterling had been the most striking feature of the economic landscape since the EU referendum. "This will pass through into consumer prices over the coming months and quarters," he said. "While we expect this to be only a temporary phenomenon, it will nonetheless weigh on the purchasing power of consumers over the next couple of years." The last time CPI inflation hit 4% was in 2011, before falling back over the last five years. Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said: "NIESR is right to warn that households are about to endure a renewed period of falling living standards due to soaring inflation. "Fuel, food and technology prices already are rising in response to the weaker pound, and hefty price rises will be seen across the whole spectrum of consumer goods next year." Although the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is not likely to raise interest rates in response, according to Mr Tombs, he said that the fall in sterling meant the MPC had little room to manoeuvre. NIESR predicted that the economy would expand by 2% in 2016 - higher than its previous forecast of 1.7% - but would fall to just 1.4% growth next year. "Rather than a significant change to our view of the future, this is largely due to revisions to historic data," it said. Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Markit, said inflation hitting 4% would result in "a major squeeze on consumer purchasing power". That could then make GDP growth of 1.4% in 2017 "hard to achieve given the likely heightened uncertainties" once the UK starts Brexit negotiations, he said. Lower growth along with uncertainty could affect hiring by companies, NIESR warned. It expected unemployment to peak at 5.6% next year, before gradually falling. The think tank also predicted that inflation would only return to the Bank of England's target of 2% in 2020. NIESR is the UK's oldest independent economic research body and was founded in 1938. Currently doctors treating cancer have two main approaches - bombard the tumour with drugs and radiotherapy or cut it out. The second option is very common but not always successful - because it is often also impossible to tell where the tumour ends and healthy tissue begins. To try and combat this surgeons often remove tissue surrounding the tumour, but cancerous cells often remain, necessitating further surgery. But a new goggle technology being developed in the US lets surgeons "see" which cells are cancerous and which are healthy, increasing the chances that they will be able remove all cancer cells in one operation. "The technology is quite amazing - almost like having a microscope to guide your surgery in the operating room," says Dr Ryan Fields, a surgeon involved in a pilot study of the device. In the study, patients are being injected with a dye before their surgery. The dye has a peptide - a small protein - attached to it that allows it to seek out and bind specifically to cancer cells. The dyed cancer cells emit light at a wavelength that cannot be seen by the human eye, but can be detected by a sensor in the goggles worn by the surgeons. "The sensor captures the fluorescence from the dye lodged in cancer tissue and projects the image into the surgeon's [field of] view," explained Dr Achilefu. "This creates an augmented reality that allows the surgeons to see cancer cells glowing, providing real-time guidance during surgery. It's early days but surgeons think that this technology is promising. "It has the potential to reduce the size of operations, when safe, and guide us to take out more tissue, when required," said Dr Ryan Fields, a surgeon at Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. It is estimated that up to 40% of breast cancer patients in the US, and just under 20% in the UK, require secondary surgery. Being able to take a more strategic, precise approach to removing tumours could reduce the need for patients to undergo further stressful procedures. So far this new goggle technology has only been trialled on patients suffering from skin and breast cancer. But Dr Achilefu is confident it can be used for different types of cancer. The dye has been shown to bind to breast, prostate, lung, colon pancreatic cancers, among others. It has even been shown to detect pre-cancerous cells. These goggles are bringing instant tumour imaging to the operating room. But they aren't the only technology that is helping to improve the accuracy of tumour removal. Elsewhere, other researchers have modified a surgical knife that uses heat to cut through tissue so it can instantly analyse whether the tissue the surgeon is cutting through is cancerous or healthy. Smoke released when the heated blade cuts through tissue is sucked into a device that 'sniffs' it, analysing whether it is cancerous or healthy - allowing the surgeons to find the edges of the tumour and remove it with greater precision. The true test of Dr Achilefu's goggles will be a large trial involving many hospitals. "This type of technology certainly shows promise,' said Mr Tim Underwood, Senior Lecturer and Honorary Consultant Surgeon at University of Southampton, UK. But he also cautions that, "All of these [new] technologies need much larger trials to prove their worth before they can be considered for routine use." A sharp increase in air fares, due to the earlier timing of Easter, was the main reason behind the rise from February's rate of 0.3%, the ONS said. Inflation is now at its highest level since December 2014, but it remains below the Bank of England's 2% target. The Bank has said that it expects inflation to stay below 1% this year. Continuing low inflation makes the chance of an interest rate rise in the near future unlikely. Air fares jumped by 22.9% between February and March, reflecting the earlier timing of Easter compared with last year. This, alongside, a rise in clothing and footwear prices, was the main reason for March's increase. However, this was partially offset by a fall in food prices and a smaller rise in petrol prices compared with March last year. Under the separate Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure, which includes housing costs, inflation was 1.6% in March, up from 1.3% in February.

He is in a stable condition in hospital and a 31-year-old man was arrested at the scene. A non-police firearm has also been recovered. Witnesses reported seeing police dogs and helicopters and hearing gunfire as police entered Stonebridge Park estate. A specialist firearms unit and officers from Trident Area Crime Command, which is responsible for tackling gang crime, were conducting an operation in Scriven Street at the time of the shooting. No-one else was injured. Commander Duncan Ball said for operational reasons he could not reveal whether police had fired any shots, but said: "This incident reveals the very real risks our police officers face on a day-to-day basis while protecting the safety of Londoners." Steve White, chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said: "So soon after the tragic death of an officer on Merseyside, this incident once again reminds us of the dangers faced by officers policing in 2015." Kaner Korbay, 46, owns Bree-Zee dry cleaners opposite where the detective was shot. He said: "There was a raid on a house in Scriven Street, they tried to get away and the police were chasing them. "One of them shot the policeman. Right in the middle of the street, the centre of Haggerston Road. "I heard the noise of the gun, two rounds I think. "Then I was walking up the road and a police officer came up to me with a machine gun and told me to stay away and asked me if I had seen anything. "I could see the officer who was shot, he was sitting up and he had blood on his back." Mr Korbay said the officer's t-shirt was removed for treatment and he thought he had been shot in the shoulder. "I could see the police handcuffing someone and pushing him against the wall," he added. David Silvester, 28, who owns an import business, said he believed there had been an undercover police operation under way. He said: "We were in the house and we heard a bunch of yelling. We went outside and there was a bunch of officers in green with their dogs. "They had helmets and machine guns, I think. "That's the point we heard the gun fire. They were all scrambling about. It was two shots, I think. "The whole road was filled with undercover police. They all burst out of their cars (when the shots went off)." Ibrahim Paytoncular, 44, who owns a chip shop, said: "We heard the shot and looked out the window and saw lots of police in the road. "There was a policeman lying in the road and he must have been undercover because he was wearing ordinary clothes. "All the other police were standing around him and then the ambulance turned up." They said it was the "last chance" for self-regulation of charity fundraising. The new regulator is being set up following scandals last summer, when unscrupulous fundraisers were accused of targeting old and vulnerable givers. MPs said most charities did not engage in such practices. But the behaviour of some had damaged the reputation of all, they said. MPs on the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC) heard that some charities, including Great Ormond Street Hospital and Macmillan Cancer Support, made it impossible for donors to block further communication from them or other charities. Vulnerable and elderly people were seen as "fair targets" by some organisations, and information sold by some charities ended up in the hands of scammers, MPs were told. Fundraising practices came under scrutiny in 2015 after the death of 92-year-old Olive Cooke, one of Britain's longest-serving poppy sellers. She killed herself after complaining she had been plagued by requests for donations from charity fundraisers - more than 200 letters in one month alone. While her family said that did not contribute to her death, it did highlight the plight of vulnerable people at the mercy of unscrupulous fundraisers. Samuel Rae, 88 - a former army colonel with dementia - was another victim. Charity fundraising companies sold his details on to other companies, including fraudsters who targeted him for £35,000. Nick Booth, from London, told the BBC News website he was targeted with cold calls from a charity. "I was phoned out the blue by what sounded like a double-glazing cold caller," he said. "She expected my bank details for a standing order. Age Concern was mentioned, but only in the monotone of someone reading out terms and conditions. "When I said I wasn't sure about giving complete access to my bank account to a complete stranger, she said, 'Oh, so you don't like helping old people, eh?' I'm never giving my details out again." Peter Anscombe, from Somerset, said: "As a charity trustee, a deputy chair of a charity, and as a regular donor I am dismayed at some of the heavy selling techniques across the sector. "I have personally stopped giving to some charities as a result of their aggressive approach. The intensity of people chasing you for money just grows and grows." The MPs said charity trustees who had permitted scandalous fundraising methods were either "incompetent or wilfully blind". Chairman Bernard Jenkin said: "This is the last chance for the trustees of charities, who allowed this to happen, to put their house in order. "Ultimately, the responsibility rests with them. No system of regulation can substitute for effective governance by trustees." He told the BBC that charities were "apologetic", but there was not yet a "proper understanding... that it is fundamentally trustees who are responsible for setting the tone of their organisation". "Their values should extend to everything they do, not just the charitable objectives," he added. Rob Wilson, minister for civil society, said: "I have made it clear that the sector has one last chance to prove that self-regulation can work, but I am willing to step in and impose statutory regulation if necessary." The government's response to the scandals was to set up a review which recommended a new regulator of fundraising. Former Big Lottery Fund chief executive Stephen Dunmore was appointed in December as interim chief executive of the new regulator, responsible for setting up the organisation. It will replace the Fundraising Standards Board (FRSB), which has welcomed the call for trustees to take more responsibility for fundraising activities. Like the FRSB, the new body will be based on self-regulation - meaning charities themselves develop and enforce standards and rules of behaviour. Sir Stuart Etherington, who chaired the review, said it was important not to "lose sight of the principle of self-regulation in fundraising on which everyone is agreed". "I am not persuaded for this reason that it is appropriate for the fundraising regulator to report to a government body," he added. Paul Farmer, chairman of the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations, which represents charity leaders, said the new regulator had the "full support" of charities and should "make sure that the poor practices of a tiny number of charities don't happen again". He also said charities had "looked really carefully" in recent months at their procedures on using donors' data. The innovation in the Galgorm Castle event is a tweaking of the format used at the inaugural World Super 6 European Tour event in Australia in February. On that occasion, the final-day knockout games were played over six holes of match play. Instead, the last-day games at Galgorm will be six-hole stroke play matches. This will ensure that all the matches on the concluding Sunday reach the 18th green which, organisers hope, will contribute to a stadium golf atmosphere as the tournament concludes. The opening three rounds of the European Challenge Tour event at the Ballymena venue will be played in the normal stroke play fashion, including the usual 36-hole cut as the top 60 and ties progress. However, come Saturday evening it will be all change in the tournament as only the top 24 make the second cut to the last day. A play-off will almost certainly be needed on the Saturday evening to confirm the leading 24. The top eight at that stage will earn a bye from the opening series of six-holes matches on Sunday as the tournament continues on with five rounds of medal match play over the abbreviated rounds. This year's tournament will again be presented by the golf management company owned by pop star Niall Horan and he has given his strong backing to the new format. "We are excited to be coming back to the NI Open and introducing a brand new format," said the One Direction star. "Shootout Sunday will be a great concept, both for the players and spectators." Tournament ambassador and Galgorm touring professional Michael Hoey believes the event will be another boost for golf in Northern Ireland following the hosting of the Irish Open at Portstewart some five weeks earlier. "What is being devised here at Galgorm is an exciting new twist which sets it apart from anything we've ever had in Northern Ireland," said Hoey, a five-time European Tour winner, who finished eighth at Galgorm in 2016. "We have spoken to several players about the change in format, including last year's winner Ryan Fox, and all agreed that the new format is an extremely exciting new prospect. "The new format is certain to be more entertaining for spectators, especially with holes like the redesigned par-three seventh sure to throw up plenty of drama as crowds converge at strategic parts of the course." Media playback is not supported on this device European Tour Commissioner Keith Pelley has been one of the driving forces for the game's new formats. Brett Rumford triumphed at the Super 6 event in his native Australia last month and Galgorm Castle's managing director and Northern Ireland Open tournament director Gary Henry believes Pelley will pay close attention to what goes on at the Ballymena venue. "Keith Pelley is trying to bring innovation to events as much as possible," Henry told BBC Sport Northern Ireland. "Particularly events where the prize money is not on the same level as big PGA Tour events in America. He believes you can bring excitement to events in using by having these kind of innovative formats and we're really excited at the prospect of introducing these changes to the Northern Ireland Open." With no other event on in Europe on the tournament's dates of 10-13 August as the US PGA Championships takes place at Quail Hollow, Henry is confident that another strong field will assemble at Galgorm. Ryder Cup players Oliver Wilson and Hoey have joined a long list of European Tour winners at the event in recent years. Nick Dougherty, Johan Edfors, Rhys Davies, Ross McGowan and Philip Price have been among the other tour champions who have teed up at the Ballymena venue. 8 January 2016 Last updated at 16:55 GMT The baby rhinoceros was born on 12 December and weighed 60 kilograms.

The footage, filmed by a defector from the jihadist group, shows the boy being beaten while he hangs by his wrists. The UN has accused IS and other armed groups in Syria and Iraq of torturing and killing children. Children have also been recruited, trained and used on the battlefield. Another teenager told the BBC how he fought and killed for the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front at the age of just 15, and that when he switched to IS he found 13-year-olds being indoctrinated. The mobile phone footage shows Ahmed hanging a foot or so off the ground. He is blindfolded, and two masked men, dressed head to toe in black, pace the ground in front of him. One has a knife and a pistol; the other strides around the room with an AK-47. They hung Ahmed from the ceiling by his arms and then the beating started. He was just 14 when IS captured and tortured him. From the safety of neighbouring Turkey, he relived the nightmare. "I thought about my parents. I thought about my mum," he said. "I thought I was going to die and leave my parents, my siblings, my friends, my relatives all behind. I thought I was going to die." "They started lashing me, electrocuting me in order to confess. I told them everything". In the IS-controlled northern Syrian city of Raqqa, Ahmed had sold bread to make a living. Two men he knew asked him to put a bag near an IS meeting place. Ahmed had been duped into planting a bomb. His age was unimportant to his torturers. The abuse lasted two days. "When they electrocuted me, I used to scream calling for my mother," he said. "But as soon as I did, [one of the torturers] used to up the voltage even more. 'Don't bring your mother in it,' he used to say." "They pretend they're religious, but they're infidels. They used to smoke. They pretend to be enforcing the rules of Muslims, but they're not. They hit and kill people". From prison, Ahmed was sentenced to death. But his executioner took pity on him, and allowed him to escape. "It's rare that I'm able to sleep," he explained. "When I first came to Turkey, I used to have nightmares all the time. I got some treatment. But I couldn't sleep - I used to dream about it all the time. "Whenever I closed my eyes, I used to have nightmares then stay up all night." I met the man who filmed Ahmed's beating. He has since defected from IS and says he is full of remorse. The film was made for propaganda purposes, he said. The fate of the two other men filmed being tortured at the same time as Ahmed is not known. "I am regretting every moment," the man said. "When I joined IS, I wasn't convinced of it but I had to." "Although I wasn't particularly heavy-handed with people, I hope that the people I hurt will forgive me." Inside its self-declared caliphate, Islamic State has ended secular education and instead created military-style schools which indoctrinate children and train them to kill. An IS propaganda video shows children, some barely teenagers, undergoing drills and learning to shoot. Children are shown in beheading videos, and also taking part in killings. Khaled - not his real name - is now 17, but just two years ago he fought and killed for al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, al-Nusra front. Later, he was forced to join IS. He has since defected, but for him entering battle was a rite of passage to manhood. He said that children were being specifically targeted to fight. "Adult fighters of the Islamic State are a minority. My graduation class was full of 15 and 16 year olds," he said. "There were even many as young as 13 or 14. Those are more eager to fight and wage jihad for the sake of God." Khaled bristles when the young recruits are referred to as children. "May God forgive you, don't say children," he told me. "Those carrying a rifle, seven magazines and six grenades are men. They are Muslim men. There's a difference between being a male and a man." "Many people are just male and not men. Those taking up arms and fighting for the sake of God and defending Muslim women's honour are men." The Islamic State has up-ended life in Syria and Iraq, but its effects are more than just immediate. This is the corruption of a generation. The children of the IS will grow into young men trained to kill and hate and they will trouble Syria and Iraq for years to come.

A graphic mobile phone video obtained by the BBC appears to show militants from Islamic State (IS) torturing a 14-year-old Syrian boy.

Hamilton's seventh win of the season was also the 50th of his career, to put him just one behind Alain Prost in second place in the all-time list behind Michael Schumacher (91 wins). It was a fortifying weekend all round for Hamilton, who left behind the travails of the three Asian races and was on top form - both on and off the track - all weekend in Austin. The 31-year-old Briton has now won four of the five races at the Circuit of the Americas - and five of the last six US Grands Prix if one counts back to the race's previous home at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2007. But Hamilton remains 26 points behind his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, who finished second, partially thanks to a stroke of luck with the timing of a virtual safety car. Had that not been deployed - following a gearbox failure that stranded Max Verstappen's Red Bull out on track - Rosberg would have had to pass the Dutchman's team-mate Daniel Ricciardo to take second. He may well have done so - he would have been on fresher tyres and in a faster car. But it was the latest in a series of situations in which luck has fallen Rosberg's way this season. The Hamilton who turned up in Austin was a very different one from the one who had been in Japan two weeks previously, where his behaviour put him at the centre of a media storm. Two controversial performances in news conferences in Suzuka were a distraction that Hamilton did not need, and whether that played a role in him qualifying only second to Rosberg and then fluffing his start will continue to be a question. In Japan, Hamilton allowed very mild criticism in a very few media outlets following his distracted performance in the pre-event news conference to spiral into an unnecessary situation which led to him refusing to answer questions at a subsequent media appearance two days later. Things have calmed down since. Hamilton has had his media team unblock the journalists they had blocked on Twitter, and he was back to his usual self in America. Mercedes F1 team boss Toto Wolff said he felt the events of Japan were influenced by those the previous weekend in Malaysia, where an engine failure cost Hamilton a dominant win that would have put him back in the championship lead. Hamilton admitted after his win on Sunday that Malaysia was "haunting" him throughout the race in America. And Wolff said: "That little trauma is going to remain for a while" for the whole team. "Suzuka was very difficult," Wolff said. "Coming out of Malaysia, where he lost the win, 25 points gone, and would have caught up in the championship. "It started unfortunately with the press conference and it went into a spiral. He had 10 days to recover and he came back strong." Indeed he did. From the moment Hamilton took to the track in Austin, he looked invincible. It was one of those weekends. Media playback is not supported on this device He was blistering in the first half-hour of practice, a second quicker than Rosberg initially and still significantly ahead by the end. Second practice did not go so well, but on Saturday he was again supreme, and he carried that dominance into the race, while Rosberg made life difficult for himself. More of which in a moment. Hamilton, though, rejected Wolff's explanation of the events of Japan. "I don't feel that was the case," he said. "Of course, if we had come off a win in Malaysia I would have been on cloud nine going into the next race. I wasn't on cloud nine but I love it in Japan, I felt fantastic going into it. "I was only off by 0.07secs in qualifying and the race was a disaster but, you know, I have battled through thick and thin through my whole career. It was nothing new to me. "I don't have the championships I have through luck. This is not my 50th win through luck. It is a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication from lots and lots of people but also from me. I feel great with the work we collectively did this weekend and I hope we can continue to do this moving forward." At which point he paused, as if the moment was finally sinking in, and looked over to the back of the Mercedes area, where he was sitting facing the media, at guests Venus Williams and Lindsey Vonn, and smiled. "There are so many incredible champions in this room, Lindsey, Venus; I feel really on the spot doing this press conference." On the spot or not, it was a poised, considered, thoughtful Hamilton on show in America; very different from the haunted figure of Japan, no matter what he says. But the apparent unfairness - as he sees it - of the differing reliability records of himself and Rosberg still smarts. It is doubtful that Hamilton has done the maths, but the facts are that, regardless of the fact Rosberg has had his strongest year yet, the Briton would be leading the championship right now rather than trailing in it without the reliability issues. That lead would be at least 14 points and possibly as much as 56 - even ignoring the greater number of poor starts he has made - depending on whether he would have won or finished second to Rosberg in the races where he had the problems. While Hamilton has had engine failures in qualifying in China and Russia, a subsequent grid penalty that made him start from the back in Spa, and the failure in Malaysia, Rosberg has been affected only by a gearbox glitch that turned second into third at Silverstone. "Not many seasons there can be 100% reliability on a car," Hamilton said once he had returned to the immediate matter at hand after the race. "Will that be the case on Nico's? I guess time will tell. I can't get fixated on that. I just have to focus on mine. "I am hoping that for these last three races I have 100% reliability. That would be a breath of fresh air and I will try to utilise that opportunity with driving as I did today." No wonder Hamilton must wonder about his luck. Initially, Austin looked like it might turn into the bad race for Rosberg he needed. Questionable positioning of his car at Turn One, followed by poor traction out of the corner, gave Ricciardo the chance to challenge him through the fast kink of Turn Two. Despite being on the outside, Ricciardo made the move stick, Rosberg perhaps wary of the championship situation. "Nico is in a difficult position," Wolff said. "He needs to look at each weekend at a time but also make sure he doesn't DNF [Did Not Finish]. We probably saw that in Turn One." With Rosberg now third, and Ricciardo showing strong pace, Mercedes put him on a long middle stint on the medium tyre, the aim being to give him a short final one on the soft in which to catch and hopefully pass the Red Bull. In the end, the virtual safety car gave him a "free" stop and he was able to fit fresh medium tyres and retain second place, Ricciardo swearing over the radio when he realised what had happened. For the championship, in reality, it made little difference on paper - even had Rosberg finished third, he would still have been able to finish second in every race to Hamilton and still be champion. But it would have reduced the gap that little bit more - three points - and who knows what will happen in the remaining races. "Nico was very strong in Singapore," Wolff said. "Lewis in Malaysia, Nico in Japan and Lewis here. It keeps bouncing between the two so I'm very curious to see how it is going to go." Hamilton said: "All I can do is do my best and continue to drive as I have this weekend. Nico's been driving fantastically well all year. So the battle will continue. I'll be going for it." The firm outbid media rival Ziff Davis to seal the deal, which still hinges on approval from a bankruptcy judge. The sale comes after Gawker filed for bankruptcy protection in June to avoid paying damages after it lost a $140m invasion of privacy lawsuit brought by former wrestler Hulk Hogan. Gawker owner Nick Denton said he was "pleased" by the deal. "I am pleased that our employees are protected and will continue their work under new ownership - disentangled from the legal campaign against the company. We could not have picked an acquirer more devoted to vibrant journalism," he said in a statement. Gawker's previous owner, Nick Denton, seems as pleased as he could be with this deal - and it's easy to see why. So far it looks as though Gawker is going to stay exactly as it was before: same staff, same outlook. That's dismal news for Silicon Valley investor Peter Thiel. He gladly funded the legal case that brought Gawker to its knees, and said he would do it for anyone else that wanted to take on the site. Univision is bigger, richer and more powerful than Gawker. Mr Thiel would have to dig even deeper to take it on - and so the investor's multi-million dollar attempt to wipe Gawker off the internet appears to have failed, just as many press freedom advocates had hoped it would. Univision is known to most people in the US as the country's biggest Spanish-language media company. Others may know the name after its most prominent face, anchor Jorge Ramos, was thrown out of a Donald Trump press conference. Thiel branded a 'serious threat' to press freedom Gawker was sued by Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, after the website published a video from 2007 of Mr Hogan having sex with the wife of a friend. During the three-week trial Gawker defended its right to publish the video as part of its celebrity news coverage, while Mr Hogan argued it had been an invasion of his privacy. The jury ruled in the former wrestler's favour and ordered Gawker to pay $115m in compensation and $25m in punitive damage. In May a judge denied Gawker's request for a new trial. In a twist revealed after the trial, it was discovered that Mr Hogan's legal bills were paid by PayPal co-founder and tech billionaire Peter Thiel. Mr Thiel said he wanted to curb Gawker's "bullying". In 2007 Mr Thiel clashed with Gawker after the site published an article that outed him as gay.

Speaking in London, the Labour leader said he would "reshape" relationships with the US and other allies, promising "no hand holding" with Donald Trump. Labour backed "no first use" nuclear weapons, but he would do "everything necessary" to protect the country. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said Labour would "chuck away" the UK's ability to defend itself. And Prime Minister Theresa May, campaigning in North Shields, has also been asked about defence policy, if her party wins power on 8 June. Mrs May was asked by the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg if she thought it patriotic to join the US in more strikes against Syria, or if she would rule out having a parliamentary vote. Mrs May said the UK was part of a coalition working to "defeat Daesh" in Syria and Iraq but was also working "diplomatically with others to ensure that we can see a stable Syria for the future and a political transition for Syria away from Assad". In a speech to the Chatham House international affairs think tank on Friday, Mr Corbyn - a former chairman of the Stop the War Coalition and a lifelong member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament - said he had campaigned for a more peaceful world all his life and still believed the UK's interests were best served by pursuing political and diplomatic ends to conflicts. But he said should his party win power on 8 June, he would do "everything necessary to protect the safety and security of our people and our country", stressing "that is our first duty". In focusing on the deficiencies of recent western military interventions in the Middle East - what Mr Corbyn called "regime change wars" - the Labour leader put forward a view that might well resonate more widely among the electorate. His was an approach that would put human rights at the centre of foreign policy. The problem is that on specifics Mr Corbyn provided little clarity. He was more critical of the Trump administration than he was of Russia or China. While stressing Labour's commitment to current levels of defence spending, he opposed the Nato deployment of troops closer to Russia to reassure worried allies. He insisted that he was no pacifist and that in the last resort force might sometimes be necessary. But by stressing the role of the UN Security Council he appeared to give Russia and China a veto over any UK decision to use force. While condemning the "almost routine" military interventions of the past 15 years, from Afghanistan to Libya, he said he accepted that military action was needed "as a last resort", citing the fight against Nazism during World War Two. "I am not a pacifist. "I accept that military action, under international law and as a genuine last resort, is in some circumstances necessary. But that is very far from the kind of unilateral wars and interventions that have almost become routine in recent times." He said a "bomb first, talk later" approach to security "has failed" and that the use of force should be sanctioned beforehand by the United Nations. He criticised the Trump administration for "unilateral" air strikes in Syria and "recklessly escalating" tensions on the Korean peninsula, saying he wanted "strong and friendly relations" with Washington but would always speak his mind. "Britain deserves better than simply outsourcing our country's security and prosperity to the whims of the Trump White House. "So no more hand holding with Donald Trump - a Labour government will conduct a robust and independent foreign policy made in London." Earlier this year, Mr Corbyn criticised US air strikes against Syria - putting him at odds with Labour deputy leader Tom Watson. The Labour leader said his life-long opposition to nuclear weapons and what he described as the "military-industrial complex" had been shaped by his parents' fears of a "nuclear holocaust" during the 1960s and his memories of the use of chemical weapons during the Vietnam War. He said he accepted Labour was supporting Trident in its manifesto, draft details of which were leaked on Wednesday, after voting for the policy at its party conference and the Parliament had already backed the renewal of the nuclear weapons system. But he said an incoming Labour government would have a wide-ranging defence review "looking at all aspects of our defence priorities for the future". "We cannot obviously decide what the review would decide, otherwise we wouldn't have a review," he said. He insisted he remained committed to "meaningful, multilateral disarmament" in line with the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. His deputy leader Tom Watson, campaigning in Pontypridd, said the manifesto, the final version of which has not yet been published, "will have a commitment to the independent nuclear deterrent, to Trident". But SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said Mr Corbyn "should have the courage of his convictions on nuclear weapons". She added: ""I want to see Trident scrapped not renewed, so we can have investment in our conventional forces." The Conservatives said Mr Corbyn had campaigned all his life "to weaken the UK's defences". Campaigning in Newport, Foreign Secretary Mr Johnson said the Labour leader's criticism of Mr Trump reflected a strain of "immature anti-Americanism" within the opposition. "There is a sharp distinction between a government that is willing to stand up for this country, that is will to make sure this country is properly defended - and a Labour party, led by Jeremy Corbyn, that would simply chuck away our ability to defend ourselves," he said. But UKIP leader Paul Nuttall said he agreed with Mr Corbyn, arguing the interventions in Iraq and Syria had been mistaken and British troops should only be deployed if it was truly in the national interest. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning Cabinet Chief Jorge Capitanich said the president would suspend all international travel until February. He said Ms Fernandez had slipped on a liquid spilled on the floor of her home in Patagonia, in southern Argentina. The president has had a series of health problems, some of which have forced her to cancel official trips. Ms Fernandez was due to travel to Brazil for the inauguration on 1 January of President Dilma Rousseff, who has been elected to a second term in office. She will also miss a trip to the Vatican alongside the Chilean President, Michelle Bachelet. In November, Ms Fernandez had to cancel her attendance at a commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the signing of a peace treaty with Chile, which Ms Bachelet was also due to attend. At the time, the Argentine leader was suffering from a sigmoiditis, an inflammation or infection of the sigmoid colon. Last year, she had to rest for a month after undergoing surgery to treat bleeding on the brain. President Fernandez, of the left-wing Front for Victory party, was first elected in 2007 and then returned to power by a comfortable majority in 2011. GDP or national income increased at an annual rate of 2.4% in the first three months of the year, which looks pretty good by international standards - and is only a touch slower than the 2.5% forecast for this year made in the Budget by the government's official forecaster, the Office for Budget Responsibility. But the quarter-on-quarter growth rate does not look quite so rosy: the economy expanded by just 0.3% in the three months to the end of March, compared with the previous quarter. That was half the growth rate we enjoyed in the last three months of 2014 and the slowest rate of growth since the end of 2012. What's going on? For reasons no one can quite explain, construction in Britain has been lousy for six months. The production industries have been especially hurt by the oil price collapse, which has led to something of a crisis in the North Sea. Excluding oil and gas, quarter-on-quarter growth would have been 0.1 of a percentage point higher at 0.4%. But nor has manufacturing been sparkling: it showed growth of just 0.1%. And perhaps because of the strengthening pound, the growth rate of our manufacturers has progressively decelerated in a straight line from 1.4% a year ago More unexpectedly, some service industries in which the UK is a world leader - finance, engineering and architecture - have had a poor few months. One possible explanation of their slowing growth is that demand for our services and goods in important export markets - especially China and the US - may be a bit worse than official figures show. That could be a sign of trouble ahead. So thank goodness for our domestic-facing services. Or to put it another way, if we weren't a nation of shoppers and restaurant eaters, there would be very little growth at all. The output of distribution, hotels and restaurants increased by 1.2% in the quarter - only slightly slower than at the end of last year. In fact shops, hotels and restaurants contributed two thirds of all growth in the latest quarter. Which brings us to a couple of big and important points. The most politically resonant one is that the Tory and Lib Dem government has failed in its ambition to rebalance the economy more towards manufacturing. The last official figures before the general election show that the manufacturing sector is still 4.8% smaller than before the great crash and recession - whereas the much larger service sector is now even bigger: 8.5% bigger than before the crash. In other words, we are more dependent on service industries than we've ever been in our history. And not only have services become a big proportion of the economy, some 78% of it, but they actually contributed more than 100% of all the growth we enjoyed since the end of December (because production and construction made negative contributions). To be clear, the ascendance of services may not be a disaster: we have many world-beating service businesses, many services are capable of being exported, and services can therefore help the UK to pay its way in the world (something which hasn't happened for 30 years, as you know). But since the Business Secretary Vince Cable and the Chancellor George Osborne both set great store on increasing the importance to Britain of manufacturing, it is worth pointing out that the shift to the makers has not happened - or at least not yet. Point number two is a related one: although we should all probably be grateful that we are still spending in shops and cafes, and keeping the economy moving forward, history suggests it will all end in tears if we don't see a revival of other sources of growth - namely exports and business investment. Right now much of our spending and consumption is being spurred by the windfall we've received from lower prices of essentials, namely food, petrol and energy. That's given us more spending power. But the concern would be that we'll start to buy too much on credit once again, at a time when millions of households are still burdened by record debts - and are only able to afford those debts because the official Bank of England interest rate remains close to zero. So hip hooray that the recovery continues. But what the figures show is that there remains a massive job for the next government to reconstruct our economy so that prosperity can be generated in a more sustainable long-term way. No government can magic away boom and bust. But governments do have the ability to flatten the business cycle so that busts become less pronounced - and that goal has not yet been achieved. Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, 37, was arrested on 3 April at an airport after visiting her family on holiday. Richard Ratcliffe says she has been held in solitary confinement ever since over an issue of "national security". Their 22-month-old daughter, Gabriella, is also still in Iran because her passport has been taken, he says. Mr Ratcliffe, from north London, says his wife had been about to return to the UK when she was detained by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and taken to an unknown location in Kerman Province, 621 miles (1,000km) south of Tehran. He says Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who works as a project coordinator for the Thomson Reuters Foundation, has not been allowed access to a lawyer or to see her daughter and has not been able to call out of the country to speak to him. According to him, she has not been charged but has been forced to sign a confession "under duress", despite not knowing what she was confessing to. Mr Ratcliffe told the BBC there was nothing in her work or personal background to explain why she was detained, saying she had travelled to the country before without any problem. He said her family in Iran heard nothing after her arrest for three days, when she was allowed to phone and tell them she was safe. They were told she would be released within a couple of days, he said, but after they heard nothing they later learned she had been transferred to southern Iran. The Thomson Reuters Foundation, the charitable arm of the news agency Thomson Reuters, runs projects around the world - including providing media coverage of under-reported areas and free legal assistance - but does not work in Iran. Mr Ratcliffe said: "It is hard to understand how a young mother and her small child on holiday could be considered an issue of national security. She has been over to visit her family regularly since making Britain her home. "The cruelty of the situation seems both outrageous and arbitrary - that a young mum and baby can be treated as some national security threat is absurd, far outside any reality our family was familiar with." Gabriella, a British citizen, has had to stay with her grandparents in Iran because she cannot return to the UK without her passport. Mr Ratcliffe, who has been advised to stay away from the country, told the BBC he was only able to speak to his daughter over Skype. He said: "She is clearly struggling and adapting and waking up in the middle of the night screaming and looking for mummy and looking for daddy, but she is also playing with her cousins and she is safe." An online petition set up to urge Prime Minister David Cameron to step in has attracted more than 3,000 signatories and has been sent to Mr Cameron and Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Mr Ratcliffe said he was going against the advice of the Foreign Office in speaking publicly about his wife's detainment because he hoped public pressure might help towards securing her release. He added: "I am pleading to the British authorities, now that delegations are travelling between the two countries to improve trade and understanding, that all efforts are made to bring my wife and daughter home as quickly as possible and to get Nazanin out of solitary confinement immediately." A spokesman for the Thomson Reuters Foundation said Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who is in charge of grant applications and training, had "no professional dealings with Iran whatsoever". He added: "We are in close contact with her family. We cannot understand the reason for her detention and hope the matter will be resolved as soon as possible." A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We have been providing support to the family of a British-Iranian national since we were first informed of her arrest, and will continue to do so." Russia's move "threatens the very integrity and legitimacy" of the European Convention on Human Rights, council official Nils Muiznieks said. The Russian state seized control of Yukos in 2007, alleging tax fraud. European judges ordered Russia to pay 1.9bn euros (£1.6bn; $2bn) in damages. The Council of Europe (CoE) monitors compliance with the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg. Russia is among the council's 47 members. Russia's Constitutional Court argued that the ECHR's 2014 ruling, which called for shareholder compensation, violated the Russian constitution. "Russia has a right not to fulfil its obligations, if that is the only way to avoid violating the constitution," the Russian court's chief judge Valery Zorkin said. He said it would be wrong to pay the Yukos plaintiffs compensation out of the Russian state budget, because Yukos had failed to pay Russian taxes. Compensation could be paid from Yukos bank accounts abroad, he said, but not from the Russian state purse. He said Russia and the ECHR should seek a "compromise" in the dispute. A Russian law adopted in December 2015 gives Moscow the power to overrule ECHR judgements. In 2015 there were 109 ECHR judgements against Russia for human rights violations - more than any other CoE member state. Turkey was in second place (79) and Romania third (72). And in 2015 Russia paid out 4.9m euros in compensation for human rights violations, the CoE's Committee of Ministers 2015 report says. Mr Muiznieks, the CoE Commissioner for Human Rights, said Russia's non-compliance "bears far-reaching consequences for human rights protection in Russia and elsewhere in Europe". It "weakens the safeguards for individuals and companies against possible state abuses," he complained. He urged the Russian authorities to change the law that grants the Russian Constitutional Court supremacy over the ECHR. Yukos shareholders are also pursuing the Russian state for compensation through the Dutch courts. The Hague's Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) ruled that $50bn should be paid to them, but last April that ruling was overturned by The Hague's District Court - a decision the shareholders are now appealing. Yukos was at one point Russia's largest oil producer, and its former CEO, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, was the nation's richest man. He used his vast wealth to fund parties opposed to President Vladimir Putin. He was arrested in 2003 and spent 10 years in jail after being convicted of fraud and tax evasion - charges he says were politically motivated. They have sent letters to Apple and its project partners seeking refunds. The project began in 2013 and aimed to give iPads and other computers to about 650,000 students. It hit problems when students were able to bypass security systems on the tablets and because the computer-based curriculum was incomplete. In the letters, the LA Unified School District (LAUSD) said it was "extremely dissatisfied" with the way the project has been handled, according to a report in the LA Times. The scheme was intended to be a way for poorer pupils to keep up with wealthier peers who already enjoyed access to tablets and other computer-based study aids. The LA school district initially bought 43,261 iPads loaded with a maths and English curriculum designed by educational and training firm Pearson. A further 77,000 iPads were bought to be used in standardised tests. Teachers, school heads and administrators were also expected to use the gadgets to improve lessons and the way schools were run. "While Apple and Pearson promised a state-of-the-art technological solution they have yet to deliver it," said the letters sent to the two firms this week. Lawyers acting for the school district are also believed to be considering legal action against the two main suppliers. In addition, the schools have cut ties with the firms and do not want them to be involved in any future development. The letters come after repeated demands from the LA school district that Apple and Pearson improve the way the scheme was being run. In its complaints, the district said only two schools were regular users of the iPad-based curriculum and those that used it intermittently reported frequent problems. Apple has not responded to requests for comment about the complaints. In a statement, Pearson said it was "proud of our long history working with LAUSD and our significant investment in this groundbreaking initiative to transform instructional practices and raise expectations for all students". The statement acknowledged the "challenges" there had been in implementing the project but said it stood by the "quality of our performance". The Pearson/Apple deal was one part of a $1.3bn programme that included spending $700m on improving internet access at schools. The superintendent in charge of the LA school district who drew up and oversaw the costly programme resigned after the problems with the scheme came to light. In March the US banned cabin laptops to and from eight mostly Muslim nations, fearing bombs may be concealed in them. The new measures require enhanced passenger- and electronic-device screening across 105 countries. Airlines have 120 days to comply or could face a ban on carrying all passenger electronics. They could even be denied the right to fly into the US. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly spelled out the new measures on Wednesday, saying: "Make no mistake: our enemies are constantly working to find new methods for disguising explosives, recruiting insiders, and hijacking aircraft. "We cannot play international whack-a-mole with each new threat. Instead, we must put in place new measures across the board to keep the travelling public safe and make it harder for terrorists to succeed." The new measures, which Mr Kelly said would not be the last, include: The measures are vague on specifics in terms of operational application, but will cover 280 airports and 180 airlines, affecting an average of 2,100 flights a day, carrying 325,000 passengers. Airlines will be breathing a sigh of relief on the laptop issue, as many feared it might deter passengers, particularly high-fare-paying business customers, from travelling. Mr Kelly had raised fears of a wider ban late last month, telling Fox News he was still considering it. Homeland security officials said that even the airports included in the original laptop ban could have it lifted if they complied with the new regulations. Devices "larger than a smartphone" are currently not allowed in the cabins of flights from Turkey, Morocco, Jordan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The UK issued similar rules for flights from six countries. Air travel safety experts have warned there is a greater risk of lithium battery fires going unchecked if large electronic items are left in the hold. A naming ceremony, where Ms Jenkins was also presented with a commemorative medal, took place on Monday. It comes weeks after the mezzo soprano, who is expecting her first child, was asked to sing at the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations. Ms Jenkins is the third person to be honoured by the railway, along with Bryn Terfel and Sir David Brailsford. She said: "I'm so grateful to everyone at Snowdonia Mountain Railway for honouring me in this way. "I'm so disappointed we didn't reach the summit but I look forward to coming back with my family and new baby daughter." Last year, more than 130,000 people travelled on the railway, which is the only one of its kind in the UK. Michael Lesslie, who has also adapted Macbeth and Assassin's Creed, is to write the screenplay. Rogue Male was originally written by Geoffrey Household in 1939. Cumberbatch told The Hollywood Reporter: "I am thrilled both as an actor and producer to be working on bringing this most treasured of English novels to the big screen." Household wrote 28 novels but Rogue Male was a best-seller and is regarded as his finest work. The thriller tells the story of a hunter who attempts to assassinate a dictator but is caught and tortured. He escapes home to England but then has to evade capture from enemy agents and police. The story has previously been adapted by 20th Century Fox, whose 1940 production Man Hunt presented Hitler as the dictator and starred Walter Pidgeon. Peter O'Toole appeared in a BBC adaption made for television in 1977. Cumberbatch, who read Household's novel several years ago, was nominated for an Oscar for his performance in 2014's The Imitation Game and was made a CBE last year.

A shortage of funding and strains on the workforce have already resulted in the closure of many rural surgeries. The British Medical Association's Tom Black said GPs have a "huge workload". He told the BBC's Talkback programme that if GPs did not do something there would be "no GP services". "There are now fewer GPs per head of the population than there were in the 1950s," said Dr Black. "There are already rural areas where practices are closing because no one will apply for the jobs. "Nobody will apply for the jobs because the workload is too huge and there is no workforce, what workforce we have will not go to rural areas. "This is not about the money - there are just not enough of them (GPs). "This is not something that's happening in Belfast at the moment or in Derry because that is where the limited workforce are going." He said the areas that would suffer the most were the south, the west and the south-west of Northern Ireland. According to the BMA, the shortage of GPs in Northern Ireland is now critical. Since 2014, hundreds of millions of pounds have been invested in general practice by the Department of Health, but the BMA says this is not enough. With a growing and ageing population, demand has been growing on general practice, encouraging many doctors to take early retirement. But Mr Black said this was not what GPs wanted, adding that charging patients would be "a nightmare". The ex-footballer and Unicef ambassador said people should think of their children and grandchildren before Thursday's vote. He said his experience playing across Europe instilled in him the importance of a "vibrant and connected world". Vote Leave said they had support from other footballers, like Sol Campbell. Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham has accused Leave supporters of trying to "misuse" comments she made in the past about Europe. The UK will vote on whether to remain in the EU or to leave on Thursday. Mr Beckham - who represented England 115 times and won a host of trophies playing for Manchester United before spells at Real Madrid and LA Galaxy - wrote on Facebook that he respected those who supported Brexit but believed the UK's future was best served remaining in the EU. Drawing on his experience on the pitch, he said the heart of Manchester United's title winning teams in the 1990s may have been English but they would not have achieved so much without the input of players from elsewhere in Europe. "Now that team might have gone on to win trophies but we were a better and more successful team because of a Danish goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel, the leadership of an Irishman Roy Keane and the skill of a Frenchman in Eric Cantona." He added: "I was also privileged to play and live in Madrid, Milan and Paris with teammates from all around Europe and the world. "Those great European cities and their passionate fans welcomed me and my family and gave us the opportunity to enjoy their unique and inspiring cultures and people. "For our children and their children we should be facing the problems of the world together and not alone. For these reasons I am voting to Remain." Victoria Beckham said she shared her husband's views and attacked the Leave.EU campaign after it posted a message on Twitter suggesting she believed EU bureaucrats were "destroying" the UK's "national identity and individuality". It went on to suggest David Beckham "should have listened to the missus". Writing on Instagram, the fashion designer said Leave campaigners were "trying to put a spin on quotes made 20 years ago about keeping or losing the pound" which she said had nothing to do with the current debate. "I have to say strongly my comments should not be misused in this country," she said. "I believe in my country. I believe in a future for my children where we are stronger together and I support the Remain campaign". Mr Cameron, who worked closely with the footballer in the unsuccessful bid to bring the 2018 World Cup to the UK, said people should heed what he was saying. "There was a very moving statement today from David Beckham talking about his children and saying how effectively, what he said to me was, 'you can't win in Europe, unless you're on the pitch," he told ITV's Lorraine. But Leave campaigner Michael Gove told the BBC it had the support of former England internationals Sol Campbell and John Barnes and joked that, being a QPR supporter, he relished being the underdog. It's a bit tricky to see how. The document is still putting £30bn as the amount the Conservatives need to save through spending and welfare cuts and clamping down on tax avoidance and evasion. So, how will today's new pledges be paid for? The three key undertakings were to allow people living in housing association properties to buy them, to legislate to make sure minimum wage-earners do not pay income tax and to double the amount of free childcare for three and four-year-olds. So let's take those one at a time. Starting with the housing association right-to-buy policy, it's not clear how many housing association tenants will be able to afford to buy their houses, even at discounted prices. Newsnight's Chris Cook cites figures suggesting that only 23% of housing association tenant households have anyone in full-time work and two-thirds of them are in receipt of housing benefit. Regardless, the Conservatives say that the policy will be paid for by making local authorities sell their more valuable council houses when they become vacant. The minimum wage policy is a bit tricky, because the prime minister's promise that minimum-wage earners will not have to pay income tax only covers those working up to 30 hours per week. That means the pledge is already being met because someone working 30 hours a week at minimum wage is below the threshold for paying income tax. The minimum wage for those over 21 is £6.70 an hour, which is £10,452 a year. Currently, the threshold for paying income tax is £10,600. The Conservatives plan to raise the income tax-free allowance to £12,500 by 2020, which means that unless the minimum wage (based on advice from the Low Pay Commission) rises above £8 an hour, they will be OK with this pledge at no extra cost. It is the doubling of free childcare for three and four-year-olds that looks expensive. The promise is to give families in which all parents are working, 30 hours a week of free childcare for three and four-year-olds (who have not yet started school) instead of 15. This isn't actually a doubling of the childcare available, as the 15 hours a week are currently available for all three and four-year-olds regardless of whether their parents are working. Mr Cameron said the policy would be worth £5,000 for qualifying families. Education Secretary Nicky Morgan later said that included the 15 hours they were already getting, so it is only an extra £2,500 per household. She also told BBC News it would be paid for with £350m of the £1.4bn that would be raised by reducing pension tax relief for the most highly paid people. The rest of that money is earmarked for raising the threshold at which inheritance tax has to be paid. That money would fund £2,500 of childcare for 140,000 families. The Office for National Statistics estimates that last year there were about 550,000 households in which all parents were working and whose youngest child was three or four. We need to subtract some of those households because not all three-year-olds are yet eligible for free childcare ad some four-year-olds are already in school. We also have to add some for lone parents, about 40% of whom are in employment (with youngest children aged between nought and four) and also for households in which the three or four-year-old is not the youngest child. After all that, it appears clear that the Conservatives have not set aside enough money to pay for this policy. And that's before we start on other recent policies not unveiled in the manifesto, such as the extra £8bn for the NHS. Update, 1730 BST: The Conservatives have been in touch to say that the £350m figure is a Treasury costing. Now, I haven't seen their workings, but I understand the point is that they expect more free childcare to mean more parents will go out to work, which reduces the benefits bill. There is some disagreement about the extent to which this happens. The IFS, for example, has been quite critical of the extent to which better childcare provision increases employment among mothers. Update II, 1820 BST: I have now had more details of how the Treasury worked this out. Apparently it's not about more people going to work, it's to do with people getting free childcare instead of paying for it with tax credits or tax-free with vouchers. What's the truth behind the politicians' claims on the campaign trail? Our experts investigate the facts, and wider stories, behind the soundbites. Read latest updates or follow us on Twitter @BBCRealityCheck Victory over Curzon Ashton would have earned them a trip to Westfields, who play in English football's ninth tier. But they were beaten 2-1 by their National League North opponents, after being held 1-1 at home on Saturday. Mills was appointed on Sunday, with former Jackie McNamara switching to the role of chief executive. Richard Brodie put the Minstermen ahead, but Alex Brown levelled before half-time and Niall Cummins scored Curzon's winner, netting the rebound after Luke Simpson saved his penalty. O'Flanagan put Ireland ahead but Germany equalised in the third quarter. Mullan scored the winner by diverting in a long ball from Hannah Matthews in the final quarter and Ireland now face China on Friday and Korea on Sunday. Ireland will next meet Germany in the pool stages of this year's World League semi-finals in Johannesburg in July. The World League 3 tournament in South Africa will be followed by the Eurohockey Championships in August. The woman suffered serious burns in the incident in the reception area of Clydebank police station, in the town's Montrose Street, on 7 January. She is still being treated for her injuries at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner will look at the circumstances surrounding the incident. A report into the findings of the investigation will then be submitted to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. Meanwhile, officials at West Dunbartonshire Council are carrying out their own inquiry as the woman is known to have been in touch with council services in the hours before she went to the police station. From next year, the civil servants who oversee academies and free schools will take over responsibility for raising standards in all state-funded schools. But council leaders say regional schools commissioners lack the "capability and capacity" for the job and "could risk children's education". The government called the claims "nonsense, and the figures misleading". Currently about a quarter of state schools in England are academies or free schools, run independently and funded directly from Whitehall rather than through local authorities. This includes most secondary schools but only about one in six primaries. The job of regional schools commissioners is to oversee academies and free schools in their areas, doing a job similar to that of local authorities for council-run schools. Ultimately the government wants all schools to be academies, and the commissioners' role is expanding as more schools convert. In August next year, the government also intends the commissioners to take over from local authorities the job of supporting school improvement and intervening in failing schools. But the Local Government Association, which represents councils in England, highlights official data it says suggests that, overall, council maintained schools out-perform academies. According to that data, the proportion of schools rated good or outstanding by inspectors is: However, at secondary level only, academies do better than maintained schools, with 79.6% rated good or outstanding, compared with 76.3% of council run schools. The LGA says that almost 800 academies are currently rated "less than good", which means that each of the eight commissioners already has responsibility for about 100 struggling academies. Richard Watts, chairman of the LGA's children and young people board, questioned whether the commissioners had capacity to boost standards in these academies, let alone take on responsibility for another 13,000 schools. He said local councils had consistently proved themselves to be more effective at raising standards than regional schools commissioners. "This is no surprise. Each council is working with fewer schools, who they have good, long-standing relationships with and they know what's needed in their local areas," he said. "It is simply asking too much to expect RSCs to effectively turn around dozens of schools across a huge area." Liberal Democrat education spokesman John Pugh said the findings backed up "our long held concerns that the government's obsession with turning every school into an academy will do nothing to drive up standards, not to mention completely undermining councils' ability to deliver the education provision their communities need". But the government said the LGA was being disingenuous to claim local authorities were better at raising standards, as the government was taking struggling schools off their books by turning them into academies. "It is inevitable that councils oversee a higher proportion of good or outstanding schools," said a Department for Education spokesman. Following conversion to academy status and "after being paired with a strong sponsor, they stand the best chance of breaking from their often long histories of under performance", said the spokesman. The spokesman said accountability for academies was more robust than in council-run schools, adding that regional schools commissioners enabled "swift action" on problems "that the council-run system would fail to tackle for years". Brexit Secretary David Davis told MPs there was a lot of research and policy work to be done before it was ready. Mr Davis said he wanted to be "as open as we can be" without undermining the UK's negotiating position. The minister also said if no agreement was reached with the EU a transitional Brexit deal could be struck "if it is necessary and only if it is necessary". The government has said it will notify the EU of its intention to leave - beginning the two year process of talks on its exit - by the end of March at the latest. In response to pressure from Labour and some Tory MPs, ministers agreed last week to give more detail of their negotiating aims before starting the exit negotiations. Appearing before the Commons Select Brexit committee for the first time, Mr Davis said the "broad outline" of the UK's objectives were known but the detail had to be filled in. Asked by its chair, Labour MP Hilary Benn, when the plan would be released, Mr Davis would not be drawn on a specific date but ruled out it happening in January. Transition, transition, transition. It is the word of the week. Just about anyone who is anyone in business or politics is now gathering around the "transitional deal" camp fire. A lobbying group for financial services (unsurprising), a House of Lords committee, a deputy governor of the Bank of England, Chancellor Philip Hammond and even David Davis, the Pied Piper of Brexit himself, have come round to openly discussing the possibility that Brexit does not necessarily mean Brexit - at least not necessarily on the original time table and that there may be a halfway house. The idea for a transitional period to smooth the period between the UK's exit from the European Union and the completion of more detailed negotiations has been in the ether for months - but this is the week it has begun to crystallise into solid political form. Chancellor Philip Hammond said earlier this week that "thoughtful" politicians acknowledged a transition deal would be helpful to avoid the trauma of a sudden change in trading, customs and regulations the day after the UK leaves the EU. That could be seen as an insult to Brexiteers such as Michael Gove and Jacob Rees-Mogg - who hate the idea of a transitional deal - but I'm told there are very few "red lines" between the key departments in the way this negotiation is conducted. There are also many definitions of what such a transition might look like. Is it merely an implementation period for a largely agreed deal (David Davis's preference) or is it a longer term arrangement which keeps the status quo in place while details are worked out more slowly? Either way, the pressure for more clarity is growing. A House of Lords committee will warn tomorrow that thousands of banking jobs will go to Europe if some sort of transition deal is not made ready. Lobbying group, TheCityUK, will endorse that view and privately bankers are finalising contingency plans and some are close to pressing go. The Chairman of HSBC, Douglas Flint, today told Bloomberg TV that the bank were looking at the option of moving staff to Paris if needed. As one source told me today "there is no enthusiasm for leaving. Banks are looking for excuses to stay". We'll soon see whether the sudden warmth towards a transitional deal is excuse enough. John Pienaar: Post-Brexit migration questions "The reasons for setting the final possible date, 31 March (for triggering the Article 50 process of leaving the EU), were numerous but one of them was the determination to carry out all of the policy work first, consult properly and then bring something to Parliament," he told MPs. "It won't be next month. The policy work is still under way and there are quite a few decisions that have to be made." Officials, he said, were conducting "sectoral analysis" of the impact of Brexit in 57 areas likely to feature in the negotiations, highlighting home affairs as one area where more preparation needed to take place. Asked about the likely scope and length of the plan, he said anything which jeopardised the UK getting the best possible deal from the negotiations would be left out. The test, he said, would be "will releasing information be hazardous or not? If it is not, we will release it". He told MPs that his goal was a "smooth and orderly" exit from the EU and - on trade - "maximum market access with minimum of disruption" to British firms. Pressed about whether he agreed with Chancellor Philip Hammond who has expressed his support for transitional arrangements for a limited period to cushion the impact of leaving the EU, he said he would not rule anything out at this stage. He told the committee that an interim arrangement could be struck "if it's necessary, and only if it's necessary" but that a deal was "all negotiable" within the 18-month framework currently suggested by European Union negotiators. "We need to know where we are going before we talk about a transition". One option, he accepted, was the UK paying the EU to maintain access to the EU's single market for a short period of time but he stressed that "keeping something open does not mean we are doing it". Questioned by former education secretary Michael Gove on what the remaining 27 EU states wanted out of Brexit, Mr Davis said their views varied and could be shaped by domestic politics, noting there were "15 electoral events" - including in Germany and France - due to take place during the process. He added: "We are going to have to harness two things - one is economic and maybe security self-interest, and the other is a persuasion of them that it is in in Europe's best interest to have a friend and a strong trading partner off their north-western shore." Officials say devices "larger than a smartphone" must travel in the hold because of an increased risk that they could contain explosives. At least one airline is allowing devices to be used up until boarding. The US ban covers eight countries, while the UK restrictions apply to six. Nine airlines from eight countries - Turkey, Morocco, Jordan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait - are affected by the US ban. They operate about 50 flights a day to the US. Laptop ban: What about the parents? Will new US and UK flight rules affect me? Somali plane bomb: What happened? UAE airline Emirates is offering complimentary packing and shipping services at gates to enable passengers to use their electronic devices after check-in and until boarding. That also means passengers flying on two-leg trips from other countries to the US through Dubai can use their laptops on the first leg of their flights. The UK ban meanwhile affects all flights out of Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Lebanon. The British ban applies to any device, including smartphones, larger than 16cm (6.3in) long, 9.3cm (3.7in) wide or 1.5cm (0.6in) deep. However, most phones will be smaller than the limit. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has urged the US and UK to lift the bans as soon as possible. The US Department for Homeland Security has cited attacks on planes and airports over the past two years as the reason for the ban, Bombs, it said, had been hidden in such items as a soft drink can, used in the downing of a Russian airliner over Egypt in October 2015 with the loss of 224 lives, and the laptop used in the unsuccessful Somali attack last year. European security experts are to meet next week to discuss the US and UK bans, the Guardian newspaper reported. Royal Jordanian Airlines has tweeted suggestions of things to do during a long flight instead of using an electronic device. It followed up with another tweet suggesting that passengers "do what we Jordanians do best - stare at each other!" Aviation experts say the ban could hit airline profits as risks include a fall in passenger numbers, decreasing customer satisfaction and higher costs linked to screening baggage. In a report, the UK's branch of the UN children's agency Unicef says most of those deaths occur outside war zones. It says millions of young people under the age of 20 feel unsafe in their homes, schools and communities. It also blames rapid urbanisation, youth unemployment and rising inequality for creating greater risks. Unicef UK says it published its report - Children in Danger: Act to End Violence against Children - to mark the launch of the Children in Danger campaign. It warns that about 345 children under 20 could die from violence each day in the next year unless governments around the world take action. The document's findings suggest that children who are victims of violence have brain activity similar to soldiers exposed to combat and more than 30% of them are likely to develop long-lasting symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. It says those living in poverty are more likely to be the victims of violence. An adolescent boy in Latin America is 70 times more likely to be murdered than one in the UK. "We want children living in fear to have a chance of feeling safe and secure," Unicef UK's executive director David Bull said. "A global target would galvanise action to make the world safer for children." Only 41 countries, Unicef UK says, have an explicit ban on violence against children. But the report says that there is no room for complacency in richer countries as no nation is currently able to provide children with the full protection they need. Luamanu, who was born in Wellington in New Zealand, made 18 appearances last season after joining the club from Treviso in July 2015. "I'm really excited about moving forward with this extremely talented group of players. My family and I feel very much at home here," Luamanu said. Harlequins have not revealed the length of Luamanu's new contract. "I am very pleased that Mat has committed to the club going forward," said Harlequins director of rugby John Kingston. "He has made a considerable impact with his physical presence and his professional approach to the game. "There is far more to come from him and I am delighted it will be in a Harlequins shirt." The 13ft-long (4m) fish discovered at Freshwater East caused a stir among locals, as it was originally thought to have been a swordfish. It has since been identified as only the third blue marlin to be found in the UK, and the first full one to be recovered. The museum said it hoped it would now be studied by its research department. After it was discovered, the fish was inspected by Milford Haven Coastguard and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, before it was reported to the UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme. A day later experts from the Natural History Museum's department of life sciences came to collect it. Senior fish curator Oliver Crimmen said staff were delighted by the find. "The flies had started to take an interest in it but we were amazed it was in such good condition," he said. "I'm hopeful it will go to our research department and provide us with a valuable subject for science," he added, saying he hoped it might eventually go on display at the museum. Blue marlin spend most of their life in the open sea, far from land, and are more often associated with warmer waters. Two of the three which have washed up in the UK were found in Pembrokeshire - the first in Saundersfoot in 2008, but it was not good enough to be preserved. Rockall is fewer than 300 miles from the western coasts of the Republic of Ireland and Scotland. The UK claimed Rockall in 1955, but Ireland, Iceland and Denmark have previously challenged that claim. Sovereignty over the islet was settled in the UK's favour in 2014. However, some in the Republic have warned that the UK's exit from the EU could cause Britain to "pull up the drawbridge" on international use of the area. "It could raise the age-old controversy over ownership of Rockall which was more or less resolved between the UK and Ireland in 2014," said Jane Morrice, a former European Commission representative in Northern Ireland. "The fact that the rock outcrop in the north Atlantic is claimed by the UK as part of Scotland could make it a small but serious point in future negotiations." She said talks over fishing rights would require a complicated agreement that could make or break Northern Ireland's fishing industry. Éamon Ó Cuív, the island affairs spokesman for Fianna Fáil, the Republic's biggest opposition party, said there would be a strong desire among many in the UK fishing industry to "pull up the drawbridge" and ban non-UK fishing boats in UK waters in the event of a hard Brexit. Sean O'Donoghue, chief executive of the Killybegs Fishermen's Organisation in County Donegal on the north-west coast, said ownership of the actual rock would not be in dispute but there would be an issue over access to the waters. "We can fish at the minute at Rockall as we have fishing rights there but when the UK leaves they will no longer be part of the Common Fisheries Policy and there will have to be some detailed discussions around the fisheries which are very difficult to resolve." Angel di Maria scored twice as PSG won the last-16 first leg tie at the Parc des Princes 4-0 on Tuesday. No side in the history of the competition has come back to win from such a deficit. "It was a disastrous night for us; we were clearly inferior," Enrique said. "I'm responsible for this." Barcelona are five-time European champions and last won the Champions League two years ago. They have not failed to reach the last eight of the competition since 2007 and Enrique knows his side will have to be at their very best to have a chance of turning the tie around in the return leg at the Nou Camp on 8 March. He added: "It's extremely difficult for us now but we go back to our stadium and really we need a heroic performance. "But why not dream?" The biggest Champions League deficit overturned in a second leg was achieved by Spanish side Deportivo, who overhauled AC Milan's 4-1 lead to win 5-4 on aggregate and reach the 2004 semi-finals. It was considered one of the most remarkable nights in European football, with Milan the defending champions and favourites to win the tournament. Barcelona have won by at least four clear goals in seven games at the Nou Camp this season, including a 4-0 defeat of Manchester City in October and a 7-0 win against Celtic in September. PSG have never progressed beyond the quarter-finals of the Champions League. They were defeated by Manchester City in the last eight last season after beating Chelsea home and away in the previous round, and coach Unai Emery is staying grounded. "We played a great game individually and collectively, with tremendous backing from the fans," he said. "But I still have a lot of respect for Barca and 90 minutes is long. We must keep our concentration for the return match." Spanish football expert Sid Lowe told BBC Radio 5 live: "It was a result that has been coming all season. I don't think anyone expected a result as big as this but Barcelona have been vulnerable all year. "They have been living off the quality of the front three as opposed to a collective identity, solidity or clarity. "Messi has been bailing them out and they have looked vulnerable when teams have pressed and attacked them. It is not just that PSG beat them 4-0, if their finishing had been better it could have been five or six. "Messi had fewer touches in the first half than any other game this season. Unai Emery had worked on that - isolating him and depriving him of possession. But when he did get possession he was unable to do anything with it. "But with the exception of Ter Stegen in goal and possibly Neymar there isn't a Barca player who had even a half-decent game. "I think they are out."

Elephants in zoos sleep for four to six hours a day, but in their natural surroundings the elephants rested for only two hours, mainly at night. The elephants, both matriarchs of the herd, sometimes stayed awake for several days. During this time, they travelled long distances, perhaps to escape lions or poachers. They only went into rapid eye movement (REM, or dreaming sleep, at least in humans) every three or four days, when they slept lying down rather than on their feet. The war on elephants A way to lift an elephant's mood How to put an elephant to sleep Prof Paul Manger of the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, said this makes elephant sleep unique. "Elephants are the shortest sleeping mammal - that seems to be related to their large body size," he told BBC News. "It seems like elephants only dream every three to four days. Given the well-known memory of the elephant this calls into question theories associating REM sleep with memory consolidation." Elephants living in captivity have been widely studied. To find out more about their sleeping habits in the wild, Prof Manger and his research team fitted the scientific equivalent of a fitness tracker under the skin of the animals' trunks. The device was used to record when the elephants were sleeping, based on their trunk staying still for five minutes or more. The two elephants were also fitted with a gyroscope to assess their sleeping position. Both elephants were followed for five weeks, giving new insights into their natural sleep patterns. "We had the idea that elephants should be the shortest sleeping mammal because they're the largest," said Prof Manger. "Why this occurs, we're not really sure. Sleep is one of those really unusual mysteries of biology, that along with eating and reproduction, it's one of the biological imperatives. We must sleep to survive." Generally, smaller-bodied mammals sleep for longer than larger ones. For example, sloths sleep for around 14 hours a day, while humans sleep for around 8 hours. How elephants survive on so little sleep remains a mystery. The researchers are planning follow-up studies on more elephants, including males. They also want to find out more about REM sleep in elephants. REM sleep is believed to be critical in laying down memories. It is a type of sleep seen across the animal kingdom, in mammals and birds and even lizards. Most mammals go into REM sleep every day. Follow Helen on Twitter. Scores of people, many of them monks, were injured and burned when authorities moved in to violently end months of demonstrations in November. Burmese lawyers and the US-based Justice Trust compiled the report. It was based on eyewitness testimony, photos and forensic analysis of a used grenade cartridge. The mine at Monywa is jointly owned by a Chinese company and the Burmese military. Local villagers had embarked on months of sit-in protests, claiming they had been unfairly forced to give up their land. No one from the Burmese government was available to comment immediately on the report. An official commission established in the immediate aftermath of the violent conclusion of the protests has yet to deliver its findings. The 41-page report says that in the early morning of 29 November, Burmese police repeatedly fired white phosphorus grenades, both into the air and along the ground into camps of protesters. It quotes witnesses saying they saw bright flares in the sky, and that a sticky, flaming substance was released which set the camps on fire and burned through clothes, skin and flesh. White phosphorus has often been used on the battlefield, such as in the Iraqi city of Fallujah. It is highly controversial. "It's unheard of for police to use incendiary military munitions against peaceful protesters during a law enforcement operation," Roger Normand, director of the Justice Trust, said at the report's launch in Rangoon. The authors of the report obtained one of the grenade cartridges used in the dispersal and tested it at an independent laboratory. They say that the results showed levels of residue consistent with it being from white phosphorus. The findings are supported by photos and witness accounts that were published at the time. Many of those injured were monks with horrific burns on their bodies. The report also examined the villagers' grievances against the copper mine which led them to start the protest. It alleges that local officials lied and intimidated them in order to make them sign contracts to hand over their land. Many see the mine dispute as an important test case of how the now reform-minded Burmese authorities handle issues dating back to decades of military dictatorship. In the immediate aftermath of the protests, Burmese President Thein Sein established an Investigation Commission led by opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Its initial brief was a far-reaching look at the copper mine, the protest and its violent dispersal. Two days later, without explanation, the mandate was changed to exclude looking at the cause of the protests or why people had been injured. That report has yet to be made public.

Britain's Wiggins, asked for his response to critics on Twitter who say riders must take drugs to win, swore four times in his answer. He was speaking after retaining the yellow jersey on stage eight. "I totally agree with the sentiment and I like the passion, I back him 100%," Brailsford said. Team Sky rider Wiggins won the Paris-Nice, Tour de Romandie and Criterium du Dauphine stage races this season leading into the Tour de France, and is aiming to become the first British winner of the famous race. "The guy's just got off his bike after a very, very hard six-hour stage. He's stuffed, he comes in and then he gets asked if he's cheating," said Brailsford. "There may be a few choice words language-wise that you could change but, apart from that, the sentiment was spot-on as far as I'm concerned and there is no issue whatsoever for me." Asked about the Twitter critics, Wiggins also said: "I cannot be doing with people like that. "It's easy for them to sit under a pseudonym on Twitter, rather than get on in their own lives and apply themselves and work hard at something and achieve something." The Tour de France has a history of doping allegations, with the latest controversy seeing seven-time winner Lance Armstrong formally charged with using performance-enhancing drugs by the US Anti-Doping Agency. Team-mate Mark Cavendish also backed Wiggins on Twitter: "Good on [Wiggins] for an honest answer in Sunday's press conference, aimed at people who know nothing better than to be sceptical." Monday's stage nine is the first of two longer individual time trials - 41.5km from Arc-et-Senans to Besancon.

Team Sky principal Dave Brailsford has backed Bradley Wiggins after his expletive-laden reply to a question about drugs and the Tour de France.

The baby girl is a fourth child for Sir Bryn, 51, who has three sons from his first marriage to Lesley Jones. The singer from Pant Glas, Gwynedd, and Ms Stone, 30, began a relationship in 2014 and got engaged last year. Ms Stone, from Swansea, served as the official harpist to the Prince of Wales from 2011 to 2015. His quick wit transferred neatly from the page to the airwaves, his fiction delighting radio and television audiences as much as his personal appearances on The Brains Trust and chat shows like Parkinson and Kane on Friday. The glamour of the TV studios was a world away from his formative years on High Street in Cymmer. The last of 12 children, his father looked after pit ponies at a time when the Rhondda was embedded in coal production. He later recalled: "I'm the youngest of 12 children, which is quite a load to bear, humanly speaking. "Because I don't know how it is in other parts of the country or the world, but in Wales if you are the youngest of a very large family, you are the chopping block for the lot." Despite the grim reality of his early life, including the death of his mother, Gwyn Thomas excelled at school. At 18 he won a scholarship to Oxford, the boy from Cymmer surrounded by the sons of the English aristocracy. "The effect of Oxford on me, the son of an unemployed miner? I mean there were thousands of people at Oxford whose fathers were unemployed, but I was the only one whose father was officially unemployed," he told Michael Parkinson in one of his many chat show appearances. From Oxford he returned to south Wales to teach, where he became known as "Killer" Thomas in the classroom for his habit of dressing like a B-movie gangster. His pupils loved him and he continued teaching while his writing blossomed. His publishers soon realised that Thomas's scripted humour was an enormous attraction for readers and audiences. Katie Gramich, professor of English at Cardiff University, said Gwyn Thomas's dark humour helped to draw a loyal following. "That's one of the great advantages of Gwyn Thomas's writing for a reader. He's very, very funny - he's laugh-out-loud funny. But at the same time he's not just a slapstick performer, he's actually very sophisticated," she said. "He uses language in a very playful, over-the-top and outrageous way." It was a radio play, Gazooka, broadcast in the early 1950s that helped Gwyn Thomas achieve popular success. Despite the draw of London - the parties, the people, the panel shows - Thomas kept south Wales as his home. In "A Few Selected Exits", the book he later referred to as "an autobiography of sorts," Thomas said of Wales: "It was and is the land of my emotions." He later put his deep attachment to Wales down to the early death of his mother. "My mother died when I was very, very young. But I've never lost the sense of belonging to her, this magnetic woman who I never truly knew. "And it's manifested itself of course in this geographical context: I am never happy unless I am in this county of Glamorgan," he said. Prof Gramich said Thomas remained unknown to many and hoped his centenary would encourage more to pick up his work. "I think he's still not very well-known, unfortunately, and I do think that he deserves more attention from the literary establishment - not only in Wales but in America as well," she said. "If I were to compare him with his peers in the English novel, I would compare him with Kingsley Amis or Evelyn Waugh, who were more or less his contemporaries. And those three write in a similar vein of satirical humour." Gwyn Thomas died in 1981. His centenary this year is sandwiched between events to mark 100 years since the birth of RS Thomas and next year's commemorations for Dylan Thomas. And while Thomas's fame and notoriety sits sometimes in the shadow of the other tempestuous Thomases, his dark humour still casts a ripple of enjoyment through the Rhondda and the minds of his readers. A transcript of the calls between police negotiators and Omar Mateen during the three-hour siege have been released by the FBI. The 29-year-old mentioned the war in Syria and the France terror attacks during calls to the 911 dispatcher. Mateen died in a shootout with police after authorities stormed the building. The FBI said Mateen spoke to a dispatcher twice during three phone calls made about 30 minutes after he began the attack. Mateen allegedly made the calls while he held more than a dozen people hostage at the venue. The first call (see below) lasted about 50 seconds. Police: Orlando Police Dispatcher Mateen: Omar Mateen Police: Emergency 911, this is being recorded. Mateen; In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficial [in Arabic] Police: What? Mateen: Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [in Arabic]. I let you know, I'm in Orlando and I did the shootings. Police: What's your name? Mateen: My name is I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State. Police: Ok, What's your name? Mateen: I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may God protect him [Arabic], on behalf of the Islamic State. Police: Alright, where are you at? Mateen: In Orlando. Police: Where in Orlando? [End of call]. Mateen then spoke to Orlando police's Crisis Negotiation Team three times after the first call. During these communications, Mateen identified himself as an "Islamic soldier". An FBI spokesman told reporters Mateen spoke in a "chilling, calm and deliberate manner." He said there was no evidence that a foreign terrorist group was behind the shooting and that Mateen was likely radicalised domestically. Authorities had previously omitted IS and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the so-called Islamic State, from the transcript, but re-issued a full version after facing a backlash. Republican US House Speaker Paul Ryan said that to redact the transcript was "preposterous". Why was Orlando 911 transcript redacted? In a statement released Monday afternoon, the Department of Justice said it redacted the transcript to avoid giving the killer a platform for "hateful propaganda" but it had unfortunately become a distraction. Mateen told the negotiator to tell America to stop bombing Syria and Iraq and that was why he was "out here right now". The gunman later said he had a vest, describing it as the kind they "used in France". At about 4:21 am, police removed an air conditioning unit from a Pulse dressing room window to help victims escape. Some of those rescued told police the gunman said he was going to put four bomb vests on victims within 15 minutes but no such vests were found. Members of a swat team stormed the building at about 05:00 local time, exchanging fire with Mateen before he was killed. During the three-hour stand-off, there was no additional gunfire, police said. The transcript release comes a day after thousands of people descended on downtown Orlando to remember the victims in a candlelight vigil. Rangers used the scheme from 2001 until 2010 to give millions of pounds of tax-free loans to players and other staff. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) lost two tribunals before judges agreed these were salary payments subject to tax. The judges have now said liquidators BDO can appeal, as the ruling has implications for future cases. Rangers' use of EBTs and the subsequent appeals by HMRC have become known as the "big tax case". HMRC lost its initial appeal that tax was due on EBTs at a First Tier Tax Tribunal on 2012. The decision was upheld at an Upper Tier Tribunal in 2014. HMRC's third appeal, made last year, was upheld in a decision issued by Lord Carloway, sitting with Lord Menzies and Lord Drummond Young. The judges ruled that if income was derived from an employee's services, in their capacity as an employee, it was an emolument or earnings and "thus assessable to income tax". The same judges have now allowed an appeal to the UK Supreme Cout. Lord Carloway said: "The court is of the of the view that there is an arguable point in law of public interest which should allow the appeal to the UK Supreme Court to proceed. "There are significant issues in this case which may apply to other similar situations." The decision was in relation to Murray Group companies, including the liquidated company RFC 2012 - formerly The Rangers Football Club PLC. It has no impact on the current owners at Ibrox. Media playback is not supported on this device Referee Wayne Barnes asked television match official Peter Fitzgibbon to check the incident, but he could not find any clear footage. Citing commissioner John Montgomery was also unable to find clear evidence. "From my point of view it was disappointing as was the whole game," North told BBC Radio Northampton. He continued: "I have got a bit of bruise on it now from obviously where I got bitten but apart from that I am all right really," he continued. "It is disappointing [no action was taken] because you think what the modern game is like, especially in a Test match because it was, Wales v France in Paris which is such a big occasion. "It is what it is. Sometimes for all the cameras that are there they capture stuff and sometimes they don't. "This one time it doesn't got picked up." Media playback is not supported on this device But there could be action taken over France's replacement of Uini Atonio. Wales coach Rob Howley said he was left to "question the integrity of our game" after France replaced prop Atonio with Rabah Slimani during the 20 minutes of added time that were played. France's team doctor said Atonio needed to go off for a head injury assessment. North admitted it was a frenetic atmosphere in the 100-minute game in Paris with 20 minutes of additional time. "I don't know how many scrums went down but the atmosphere in Paris was tremendous," added North. "With every reset scrum it just got louder and louder." Wales finished fifth in the Six Nations which was the lowest position since 2007 with two wins against Italy and Ireland and defeats against England, Scotland and France. "From our own standards it was not the best from a personal or a team point of view," North told the Saints Show. "We showed glimpses of some really good rugby. "It is just having the consistency and putting performances back-to-back. "If you look at the France game we dug into the end and lost. Media playback is not supported on this device "It is the whole game performance we speak about. "Overall it was a decent Six Nations but we know we have another level or two in us." After a shaky performance against Scotland, North is back in pole position for a Lions squad spot in New Zealand this summer having scored two tries against Ireland and performing solidly against France. "There's more to come," he said. "I am back in the right way and I have five games (with Northampton) to get back to know where I can be." North won three Lions Test caps in the Australia series victory four years ago. "I was lucky enough to tour with the Lions in 2013 and remember how special that was," said North. "With the season we have had, you hope your best performances get you there. Media playback is not supported on this device "Touch wood, we have five games to put another claim down and hope you have done enough to warrant selection. "There is no tougher place to tour than New Zealand. Wales toured there last year and it was one of the toughest places I have been in playing the All Blacks in their own backyard. "They are not world champions for nothing." North says he has recovered from a series of head knocks with Northampton and Wales, with the last incident coming while playing for the Saints against Leicester last December. "I am 100% fine," said North. "I saw a specialist (after the last knock) and I was advised to take some time off which the club were lucky to give me." A record 40% of US homes with children relied on mothers as their main or only source of income, a Pew survey found. Of the women supporting their families, 37% were married women who earned more than their husbands, while 63% were single mothers, the report said. In the 1960s, just 11% of families were supported primarily by mothers. According to the Pew report, married women with a higher income than their husbands tended to be older, white and college-educated. They were likely to earn much more than single mothers, who on average tended to be younger, more likely to be black or Hispanic, and less likely to have attended an institution of higher education. For married women, the median total family income was almost $80,000 (£53,000) compared to the median income of $23,000 for the families of single mothers. In the US about one-quarter of all households are headed by a single mother and women make up nearly half the national workforce. According to the study, which was based on census data, the employment rate among married women rose from 37% in 1968 to 65% in 2011. The authors of the Pew Research Center report said it was unclear if the financial crisis had an effect on the trends. But the study noted that since 2007, more women have said they wanted to work full time and fewer said they would prefer not to work at all. The study also said that women's growing role in the workforce remained divisive. While women in the workforce bring clear financial benefits to their families, the study said three-quarters of adults said it was harder to raise children if their mothers worked, and half said it was harder for marriage to succeed under those circumstances. Yet most Americans do not believe women should return to a traditional role in the home. Only 3% of pupils in the county's 39 grammar schools receive free school meals, compared to 15% in its comprehensives. Kent County Council leader Paul Carter said social mobility at the grammars was "not where we would like it to be". He has launched a commission to investigate how to boost the number of pupils from poorer homes in grammars. It follows the permission given last week by Education Secretary Nicky Morgan for a grammar to expand to a new site in Sevenoaks. The decision, allowing the Weald of Kent school in Tonbridge to open an "annexe", side-steps a 1998 law banning the creation of new grammars. Conservative councillor Jenny Whittle said the authority will look at ways of getting more children from poorer backgrounds into the selective schools. She said: "We need to look at, for example, should children on free school meals be able to enter grammar schools if they have lower than the average [test score] that is required in Kent? "Should we look at quotas? Should we look at creating a bursary scheme which offsets costs for children entering grammar school - uniform costs for example. "Nothing is ruled out." However, Gordon Marsden MP, who is the shadow minister for further education, said the council was "tinkering with the problem", saying there was "no evidence base" for what it was trying to do. "Because of that we've now got this embarrassing situation where [Secretary of State for Education] Nicky Morgan has one of her flagship councils having to admit that their grammar schools are not working for social mobility," he said. "It bears out everything we've been saying for the last week." The festival is held near Beauly in the Highlands and runs until Saturday evening. Organisers said the event, known as Bella, was expected to attract about 18,000 music fans. Acts at this year's Bella include Madness, Two Door Cinema Club and The Darkness. Other bands playing the festival are Super Furry Animals, Alabama 3 and Public Service Broadcasting. Arrested Development were due to play but had to pull out as lead singer Speech is too ill to travel. Measures are to be taken this year to reduce traffic congestion that occurred when the show and festival took place at the same time in 2015. These include opening the campsite at Belladrum earlier than previously. Police Scotland said it had been working with the event organisers and other partners to ensure a "safe and enjoyable event". There is live and exclusive coverage of the festival on BBC ALBA from 21:30 on Thursday 4 August, and 21:00 on Friday and Saturday. Aftab Ahmed is charged with making threat to kill on the phone to David Robinson-Young during a conversation about the Middle East on 21 April. Mr Ahmed, 44, of Winchcombe Place, Newcastle, was granted conditional bail until July by magistrates in the city. Mr Robinson-Young, 62, is standing as a candidate in the constituency of Newcastle East. Gloucestershire police boss Martin Surl said he was "hugely disappointed" an offer to discuss the idea with the county council was rejected. The authority has paid about £25,000 to look into the government proposals. Gloucestershire County Council said the interim report suggested it would cost money to transfer control to the PCC. The government wants to introduce legislation to allow PCCs to take over responsibility of fire services. Mr Surl said the council had already dismissed the idea. "They've declared there's no merit in this," he added. Councillor Nigel Moor, cabinet member responsible for the fire service, said the report showed there were "very few, if any, savings to be made". "Having the service under our control is a major reason for it being one of the most efficient in the country. "Moving Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service from the county council to the PCC would cost the fire service, the county council and Gloucestershire Police money - no one would make any savings from it." A council spokesman said there would be a cost to transfer responsibility to the PCC but the exact amount was not yet known. The report would be finalised "in the next few weeks", he added. They were made by combining pictures from the probe’s high-resolution, “black and white” camera, Lorri, and its lower-resolution, colour imager known as Ralph. The difference in hue between Pluto and Charon is clear. But what catches the eye are four dark spots on the 2,300km-wide dwarf planet. Each spot is about 500km across. Quite why they should be so similar in size and spacing is not clear. Their dominant placing is on the hemisphere that New Horizons will not see during its close flyby on 14 July. However, there should be ample opportunity to study them in the days leading up to the encounter. “It’s a real puzzle - we don’t know what the spots are, and we can’t wait to find out,” said New Horizons principal investigator, Alan Stern, of the Southwest Research Institute. “Also puzzling is the longstanding and dramatic difference in the colours and appearance of Pluto compared to its darker and greyer moon Charon.” If, as scientists think, Pluto and Charon are the products of a collision between two primitive bodies in the early Solar System, one might expect them to look more similar. New Horizon’s flyby data will hopefully provide the answer. The US space agency (Nasa) mission is now closing in on Pluto and its five moons. The moment of closest approach on the 14th will take place at 11:49 GMT, when the probe is just 12,500km above the surface. It is moving too fast - at 13.7km/s - to go into orbit, and it will simply scream past the dwarf and its satellites, gathering as much data as it can. No pictures will be sent back to Earth on the day itself; the spacecraft will be too busy executing its pre-programmed observation campaign. Instead, the first images from the flyby should be presented on the following day, on 15 July. Controllers have decided not to alter the course of the probe. They had been looking for icy debris in the vicinity of Pluto that might pose a collision hazard, but could find nothing obvious. New Horizons was commanded to make a thruster burn earlier this week, to speed it up ever so slightly. This will ensure the spacecraft reaches a precise point in space and time to carry out the pre-programmed observation sequence. The probe must spin around to take pictures of all the different targets, and if its navigation is off by even a small amount it will be looking in the wrong direction at the critical moment. On Thursday, New Horizons was just under 15 million km from Pluto, but 4.7 billion km from Earth. The vast distance to the probe's home world means a radio signal takes about 4.5 hours from sending to receipt. The BBC will be screening a special Sky At Night programme about Pluto on Monday 20 July, which will recap all the big moments from the New Horizons flyby.

But Miller headed the hosts level from Martyn Waghorn's sumptuous cross. Well almost went ahead again through Carl McHugh and Scott McDonald but Miller had the final say, finishing well from Emerson Hyndman's pass. Rangers dominated the ball for long periods without really unlocking the Motherwell defence. Wingers Barrie McKay and Michael O'Halloran, the latter the subject of interest from Well, too often failed to provide a telling delivery while full-backs Lee Hodson and Lee Wallace also got into advanced areas with little success. The only clear chances of the first half came from set pieces, Andy Halliday's delivery headed on to the top of the crossbar by Miller and Jason Holt having a volley blocked by the visiting defence. O'Halloran claimed unsuccessfully for a penalty following Steven Hammell's challenge and the winger was further frustrated after the break when he had a shot blocked. McKay had the beating of Richard Tait on several occasions and saw a shot drift past after cutting in from the left. Motherwell had sat in throughout the first half with Joe Chalmers pulling a shot wide in one of their few advances. However, they showed more attacking intent early in the second period and it was the turn of the Rangers defence to have some nervous moments as crosses rained in towards lone striker Moult from Hammell and Cadden. The introduction of McDonald in place of Chalmers gave the hosts a different threat to deal with and the Australian former Celtic striker soon drew a save from Wes Foderingham. In Moult, Motherwell possessed the presence and finishing prowess their hosts' had appeared to lack. The striker had been isolated for much of the match but needed just one chance to show his worth. Cadden swung an inviting cross in from the right and the Englishman towered above Hodson to beat Foderingham. It looked as though Well manager Mark McGhee's tactics had paid off but Waghorn - on for O'Halloran - had other ideas, lifting a left-foot cross from the right on to the head of Miller for the leveller. A frantic finale ensued as McHugh and then McDonald were denied in quick succession by Foderingham. Hyndman - signed on loan from Bournemouth earlier this month - came on for Holt and set up Rangers' winner with a pass through to Miller, whose composure was exemplary. McKay had two more efforts and Moult fired wide as last season's finalists progressed. Rangers manager Mark Warburton: "I'm delighted we're through. I thought we deserved to win the game of football but you find yourself 1-0 down with 15 minutes to go so that is the harsh reality of it. "The positives were we passed the ball well. But we never penetrated, we never tested their keeper and we didn't have enough bravery in the final third. "All credit to Motherwell - they were very hard working, very well organised and well marshalled. Our goals came late because that is when their players tire. Again two late goals is credit to our team, to their fitness and their desire. "It was two quality finishes, a great ball in from Waggy and then the composure and the poise from Kenny. The second is a great ball in from Emerson and he finishes it with aplomb so it is no coincidence. It is the way he [Miller] works on the training field, the way he eats. It is all credit to him and the senior players." Motherwell manager Mark McGhee: "I am speechless. I've only ever felt as bad as this twice in my 900-odd games as a manager. "Once at Millwall when we lost in the play-offs and the other time at Wolves when we lost to Crystal Palace in the play-offs. These are the only games that match how I'm feeling right now. "Nobody has said anything after the game, nobody had any to say. I couldn't speak for half-an-hour." Match ends, Rangers 2, Motherwell 1. Second Half ends, Rangers 2, Motherwell 1.

They are suspected of spreading false information about the health of Bulgaria's banks, prompting runs on two of the country's biggest banks. Bulgaria's central bank has said there has been a systematic attempt to undermine the country's banking system. Last week, it took over Corporate Commercial Bank, Bulgaria's fourth-largest lender, following a run on deposits. Speculation the run could spread hit bank share prices towards the end of the week. On Friday, depositors rushed to withdraw savings from First Investment Bank, the country third-largest lender. The bank was forced to close until Monday after depositors withdrew 800m lev (£328m) in a matter of hours. Shares in the bank plunged 23% as a result. This prompted the central bank to urge all state institutions to work together to protect financial stability and take legal action against those spreading "untrue and ill-intentioned rumours" about the health of Bulgaria's banks. In reality, commentators say the banking system is relatively safe. "The banking system is stable... and the credit rating of the country remains high despite the current panic," said Petar Ganev of the Institute for Market Economics in Sofia. "Bulgarian banks maintain liquidity, which is higher even than European banks." Middleweight Marshman, the first Welshman to appear on a main UFC card, beat Canadian Ryan Janes on points. Johns got the best of American Albert Morales in their bantamweight fight on the preliminary card. Johns' bout in March was cancelled after his opponent pulled out, while Marshman lost his last fight to Thiago Santos in Canada. Marshman, the Abertillery paratrooper who has toured Afghanistan twice, beat Sweden's Magnus Cedenblad on his debut in Belfast last November. Johns, from Pontarddulais near Swansea, also won that night and described those results as "absolutely ginormous" for the sport in Wales. Johns's original opponent for UFC Glasgow, Mitch Gagnon, pulled out two weeks ago, but Morales stepped in to ensure he will have his second UFC bout. Marshman had originally signed to fight fellow Welshman John Phillips in Glasgow, but injury forced the Swansea fighter to pull out. "I signed the contract, he signed the contract. The fight was on," Marshman said. "But he fell out injured apparently. It is what it is. I'm not chasing him Tooting Fire Station manager Sally Harper's daughter Katie Holloway, 22, joined the same south London station where her mother started in 1988. The service had only seven women firefighters when the Ms Harper joined, compared with more than 300 now. The new recruit was "immensely proud" of the role of women in the brigade. Ms Harper said: "Katie may have joined the same station as me, but it has changed so much since the late '80s. "My locker was in a cupboard, which I had to go through the men's changing rooms to access. "After giving birth to my first daughter, Joanne, I was the first firefighter to come back to station after having a baby and attitudes towards women in the fire service were sometimes very challenging." Ms Harper recalled a teacher's reaction at a school play when her daughter said: "I'm driving a fire engine like my mum." "The teacher tried to correct her and said 'don't you mean your dad?' and Katie came straight back with 'No. Like my mum'," she said. Ms Holloway, who has just completed her first full tour of duty, said: "I'm immensely proud of the work my mum and others have done for women in the fire service, which makes it a completely different experience to when she joined." Her mother will be retiring later this year. 10 May 2017 Last updated at 09:29 BST The Channel Islands are made up of five small islands: Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, Herm and Sark. They sit in the English Channel between England and France, and were taken over by the Germans during World War Two. Each year on 9 May islanders take part in special Liberation Day parades through the streets, and share memories of what life was like at that time. Children who live in the islands have been talking about why it matters to them. Mr Rouhani agreed a number of major deals, including a €22bn ($24bn; £17bn) contract to buy 118 Airbus planes. Earlier, French carmaker Peugeot said it had agreed a joint venture in Iran worth €400m. Mr Rouhani's Europe tour comes after the lifting of international sanctions over Iran's nuclear programme. Mr Rouhani's five-day visit to Italy and France is the first by an Iranian president in nearly two decades. Iranian diplomats had reportedly requested that no wine be served at Mr Rouhani's lunch meeting with French President Francois Hollande, leading French officials to postpone the meeting until after lunch. The Iranian president was received at a welcome ceremony on Thursday at the Invalides monument in Paris. Mr Rouhani said: "The time is ripe for both countries to enhance their relations. "Diplomacy at the negotiating table can be quite effective - it can through logic and prudence... resolve problems," he said. It was an august setting to begin a new relationship. In the sombre courtyard of the Invalides they walked together, two small figures against the expanse of stone and history. Black robes and tailored coat, side by side before the military band. But the symbolism of this relationship is, for now, less important than the opportunities it offers. With European companies lining up for a share in the Iranian market, President Rouhani is marking his return from isolation with a shopping trip. Top of his list in France is planes - badly needed to restore Iran's crumbling commercial aviation industry - and the resurrection of a joint-venture between French and Iranian carmakers. Political locks may be harder to unpick. Iranian memories are full of French support for Arab nations - including Tehran's arch-enemy in the Iran-Iraq war - and more recently of France's tough stance during the nuclear negotiations last year. Both sides have said they want to begin a new chapter, and President Hollande is keen to talk to Mr Rouhani about the conflict in Syria, which the two leaders see very differently. But when it comes to compromise, the boundaries are - for now - clearly drawn. Reports that the Iranian delegation requested all wine be removed from the table during President Rouhani's state reception were met with a polite invitation to meet Mr Hollande after lunch.. All new relationships have their awkward moments. This one at least contains a helpful lesson for their future relations: neither country enjoys deferring to outsiders. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the two countries were "being reunited". "France has for a long time turned itself towards Iran, fascinated by its history, attracted by its culture, seduced by this great nation which is so incomparable," he said. Mr Rouhani later held talks with his French counterpart Francois Hollande, and both leaders attended a ceremony where business deals were signed. Mr Hollande stressed that the new relationship with Iran depended on Tehran keeping to the commitments it made in last month's international nuclear deal. "Each stakeholder has got to respect their commitments. Therefore we must be able to ensure with all due attention that what was agreed can be realised. And that's a condition for everything." Mr Rouhani insisted that his country would meet its obligations. Iran is likely to need hundreds of new aircraft in the coming years as it re-establishes commercial air travel previously restricted by the sanctions. Iranian state TV said earlier that as part of the deal with Airbus, 100 planes would be delivered to Iran over four years. Meanwhile, Peugeot said it had signed a joint venue with local carmaker Khodro to manufacture cars in Iran. Oil firm Total and rail company SNCF also announced deals with Iran. Mr Rouhani's visit also sparked protests from activists over Iran's human rights record, and use of the death penalty. One woman suspended herself from a bridge near the Eiffel Tower, with a banner reading: "Welcome Rouhani, executioner of freedom". Steve Carell, Diane Keaton and Martin Short were among those who joined Martin at the Los Angeles ceremony. Tina Fey called him "the first rock star comedian", while Jack Black sang The Thermos Song from The Jerk. "How do I top this parade of stars who have been so, so funny?" said Martin, as he received his award. "Easy." "Tonight is especially meaningful to me," he added, "because when I was a kid, I used to get all dressed up and play AFI Lifetime Achievement Award". Martin, who turns 70 this year, is best known for films including Parenthood, The Man With Two Brains, Planes, Trains & Automobiles and Roxanne. He is also an author and a prolific banjo player, releasing a Bluegrass album in 2009 called The Crow. "Usually, when I hear white people playing banjos, it's time for me to get the hell out of that neighbourhood," quipped Queen Latifah, who branded Martin "the whitest man in America". Short, who starred with Martin on five films, including Three Amigos! and Father of the Bride, added that working with the comedian was like the film Deliverance: "It's all fun and games until the banjo comes out." Looking back on their career, he recalled: "I said to Steve, what would you be doing if you weren't a talented comedic actor?' And he said, 'Probably what you're doing.'" Fey described "the first time I saw one of Steve's movies - it was on the plane ride here today. And in the part I saw before my biscuit arrived, Queen Latifah was really funny." She shared some of Martin's early advice to her: "Never shake hands when an open-mouthed kiss would suffice...You can fix your nose, or your teeth. But to do both is more money than I'm willing to lend you." Carell told the audience he had "spent the majority of my life doing a pale imitation of Steve Martin, and I resent him for this". "He's not just the silly comic genius, but a real person," added Sarah Silverman. "A real stiff, awkward, aloof person, but also standoffish." The comedian was presented with the award by Mel Brooks, who received the same honour in 2013. Martin, who has won an Emmy, four Grammys, a Kennedy Center Honour and an Honorary Oscar, concluded on a humble note. "Last year I was walking down the street and a young girl about 17 said to me: 'Did you do that (1979) movie The Jerk? I said, yes, I did. "And she said, 'You gonna do another movie?'" 16 October 2014 Last updated at 06:43 BST Experts at Sutton Coldfield sewage plant have developed a new way to treat waste and turn it into a useful energy. The sewage plant uses big "digesters" that work a bit like a cow's stomach. They heat the waste and add certain chemicals to make a gas called methane, which can be used to power your home. It's hoped that if the plan proves successful, other sewage plants across the UK will do the same. What a whiffy wonder! Shadow attorney general Baroness Chakrabarti said she was "disappointed" in the Brexit secretary. The text followed an incident between Mr Davis and Ms Abbott in a Commons bar after last week's Brexit vote. His spokeswoman said he was "very sorry" for any offence caused. The Mail on Sunday reported that Mr Davis had tried to kiss and hug Ms Abbott after Wednesday's vote on triggering Article 50, in which she backed the government despite voicing her misgivings over Brexit. Ms Abbott reportedly swore at Mr Davis in response. The paper claimed that, afterwards, the Brexit secretary exchanged texts with a Conservative colleague who said that he could not believe Mr Davis tried to give Ms Abbott a hug. In reply, Mr David reportedly said he hadn't, but had "whispered in her ear" to say "Thanks for your vote". He then allegedly added: "I am not blind." Labour MP Chuka Umunna told Sky's Sophy Ridge: "I think it's sexist, I think it's misogynistic... "This type of behaviour has absolutely no place in the Conservative Party or British politics full stop." And Lady Chakrabarti told ITV's Peston on Sunday: "Diane Abbott and David Davis were once on the same side on some really important civil liberties issues in this country and he should show her more respect." She added: "David Davis was very silly. He was sexist and he was patronising and let's just say, Diane is not someone who would have her hand patted by Donald Trump or David Davis or anybody else." A spokesman for the Brexit secretary said: "This was a self-evidently jocular and private exchange with a friend. "The secretary of state is very sorry for any offence caused to Miss Abbott, someone he has known and respected for many years." Mr Davis's Conservative colleague, House of Commons leader David Lidington, told the same programme: "It does sound to me like the sort of thing that is said in the rugby club bar rather than the House of Commons. "David Davis's spokesperson has apologised to Diane Abbott on behalf of David Davis, so plainly he did send the texts. Plainly he's embarrassed by them. David appears to accept he's made a misjudgement. We move on." Mr Menezes, an electrician who was fatally shot at Stockwell Tube station in south London on 22 July 2005 by officers who mistook him for a suicide bomber, arrived in the UK from Brazil in 2002. He had joined an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 Brazilians - including some relatives - in London and quickly learnt to speak English. The son of bricklayer Matosinhos Otoni da Silva, Mr Menezes was born in the town of Gonzaga in the state of Minas Gerais - a source of many migrants to Europe and the US. He spent his childhood living in an adobe hut in the town. Mr Silva told BBC News his son had always wanted to be an electrician - as a child, he would make electrical toys with batteries, copper and matchboxes. Mr Menezes moved to Sao Paulo to live with his uncle at the age of 14, attended high school and became a qualified electrician. His father said Mr Menezes had always had a desire to move abroad to earn money. "When he was a child he said: 'Father, I heard on the radio people make good money in England, the United States, France. If I have money to go, I will go. I will take advantage of my age and my energy to help you out.'" About half of the young people from Gonzaga move abroad in the hope of securing a better future. The Home Office said Mr Menezes had been granted entry to the UK for six months as a visitor on his arrival on 13 March 2002. He then applied for leave to remain as a student, which was approved. He was granted leave to remain until 30 June 2003. The Home Office says his visa expired at that time and that he remained illegally in the UK until his death. Like many Brazilians in London, Mr Menezes would send money home to his parent's modest farm in Gonzaga. "He didn't make a lot of money," his father said. "Most of his money went on rent and food. "He wanted to stay for another two years to save money so he could come back and invest in a ranch." He said his son was happy in London. Friends say Mr Menezes was as shocked as all Londoners by the 7 July 2005 Tube and bus bombings, as well as the attempted London public transport attacks on Thursday 21 July - the day before he was shot. Gésio César D'avila, a friend and colleague, said Mr Menezes had considered alternative transport after the failed attacks. "We were together on Thursday, and when we saw what happened, Jean said he wanted to buy a motorbike to avoid the Tube," he said. On 22 July, the day Mr Menezes was killed, police and soldiers had been watching the block of flats in Tulse Hill, where the electrician lived. They believed Hussain Osman, one of the failed 21 July bombers, was living there. What they did not immediately realise was that the flats shared a communal entrance. It is thought Mr Menezes left his flat, which he shared with cousins Vivian and Patricia, in order to fit a fire alarm. Undercover police officers began following Mr Menezes because they thought he looked like Osman. He took a bus to Stockwell station, where he boarded a train. There he was pinned down and shot seven times in the head and once in the shoulder by two officers trained in stopping suicide bombers. Police were later to say the officers had feared for their own lives and for those of other passengers on the train. In the days that followed the shooting, a makeshift memorial to Mr Menezes was set up outside Stockwell Tube station. The shrine of flowers, candles, pictures and newspaper articles became a gathering point for campaigners seeking answers over the incident. Almost a year after his death, the Crown Prosecution Service announced that no officers would be prosecuted, but the Met Police would be tried for breaching health and safety laws. On 1 November 2007, the force was found guilty at the Old Bailey of endangering the public over the operation that led to the shooting and fined £175,000 with £385,000 costs. A jury found the force broke health and safety laws when officers pursued Mr Menezes and shot him seven times An inquest into Mr Menezes death began on 22 October 2008. The jury rejected the police account Mr de Menezes was killed lawfully by two officers and returned an open verdict. The coroner had instructed the jury not to return a verdict of unlawful killing, and gave it the choice of two possible verdicts. The Met Police settled a damages claim with Mr Menezes family in 2009. The amount of compensation the family will receive was not disclosed. In January 2010, Menezes family members and campaigners gathered at Stockwell station on what would have been his 32nd birthday to unveil a permanent memorial. A colourful mosaic framing a photograph of Mr Menezes was created by local artist Mary Edwards. Anthony Munkley, known as Charlie, 53, and Lee Michael Roberts, 33, deny the murder of Sion Davies, 25, in the Caia Park area of Wrexham in October 2014. Mr Munkley's wife Gwenythe, 55, also appeared in Mold Crown Court and denied attempting to pervert the course of justice. All three defendants also face charges related to the supply of drugs. The court heard that Mr Davies was shot at several times and "stabbed and slashed repeatedly" in a dispute over drugs. Prosecuting barrister Mr Andrew Thomas QC told the jury he was then chased onto a balcony and fell three floors but did not die immediately. He said he was left undiscovered in the back yard of the flats for nearly three hours and eventually died from a combination of stab wounds and a head injury which he suffered as a result of the fall. Mr Thomas told the court that Mr Munkley and Mr Roberts's accounts of what happened were inconsistent. He said that Mr Munkley had claimed the deceased arrived at his flat with an unknown man with a Geordie accent. The court was told that Mr Munkley claimed to have left the flat when the two men began fighting each other. The prosecutor also said that Mr Munkley had claimed that his co-defendant Mr Roberts was not present. Mr Thomas said by contrast Mr Roberts admitted he was at the flat with Mr Munkley at the time of the attack but that Mr Munkley acted alone. "On his account, there was no Geordie male," said Mr Thomas. In a police interview Mrs Munkley admitted that she drove her husband to Rochdale after the incident. "She says that all she knew was what her husband told her, namely that two men had started fighting in their flat. As far as she was aware, her husband had nothing to do with it," Mr Thomas explained. The case is continuing. The 24-year-old will only be sold to the Spanish giants as part of a swap deal, with defender Sergio Ramos, 29, joining United. The club see Real as acting "like bullies" and, with their own revenue soaring, are intent on "slugging it out" with Real for the best players. De Gea is Real's main summer target. The Spaniard has one year left on his contract and wants to return to his homeland. But the Old Trafford club, irritated at the idea Real can cherry-pick their best players, struck first, making two bids for Ramos - the most recent for £28.6m - which have both been turned down. And speaking on the Spanish club's pre-season tour in Australia, Real Madrid's new coach Rafael Benitez said Ramos, the only Real player United are interested in, was going nowhere. But while United and manager Louis van Gaal know there is no chance of persuading De Gea to remain at Old Trafford beyond 2016, they are adamant they will not part with their two-time player of the year other than on their terms. The loss of a potential transfer fee is offset by the knowledge that De Gea can be the difference between winning trophies and not, while in turning down a contract offer from United believed to be around £180,000 a week, the keeper remains on the same £60,000 salary he agreed when he left Atletico Madrid in 2011. There is also a wider issue. Since the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo for £80m in 2009, United have seen Real sign up a succession of big names, including, in the case of Gareth Bale - who signed from Spurs for a world record £85.3m - players they would like to have signed themselves. The club's hierarchy are eager to see this situation change. Given Real's more cautious spending policy this summer, there is a belief at Old Trafford that the Spanish club's revenue is increasingly constrained. The reason for that is a combination of the new method of negotiating TV deals in Spain - Real and domestic rivals Barcelona will no longer be free to negotiate their own contracts and will instead become part of a central pool - the fact most of their major sponsorship deals are already in place, and the fact they have agreed a series of expensive, long-term contracts with their star players. Meanwhile, Van Gaal has revealed reserve goalkeeper Victor Valdes refused to play for United's under-21 team and is to be sold. But the 33-year-old could remain at the club for a while, given statements from his agent that Valdes does not want to leave and the fact that - given his strong Barcelona connection - it may be difficult for him to play for another club in Spain. The assistant in question is a former glamour model. She was handing out cards assigning the speaking order to the candidates. Mexico's Electoral Commission said the woman's tight white dress, with its plunging neckline, had distracted attention from important issues. "We are sorry about the production error associated with the clothing of one of the assistants during the first presidential debate and want to apologise to the citizens and the candidates for the presidency," a statement released by the Commission said. 'Outrageous stereotype' The Commission said an independent production firm had hired the model, Julia Orayen. TV producer Jesus Tapia said he had settled for Ms Orayen because she was considerably shorter than the two other women who had applied for the job. "Given the [short] stature of the candidates I chose her," he said. He also said that she was what they had been looking for: "A pleasant, young and fresh presence." Mr Tapia said the dress had been Ms Orayen's choice, and "in the madness of the moment" it had not been checked. Josefina Vazquez Mota, who is bidding to become Mexico's first female president, said the assistant's dress was "not in keeping with the seriousness of the debate". Electoral Commission member Lorenzo Cordova said it was deplorable that a stellar event in the electoral process should have been overshadowed by an "outrageous stereotype". It was the first TV debate ahead of July's poll pitting the four presidential hopefuls against each other. A second debate is set for 10 June. It follows a major feasibility study commissioned by Scottish Borders Council (SBC) which found a timber kiln would be economically viable. A lack of suitable facilities in the area was seen as a key constraint to developing the local forestry sector. The council will hold a seminar next month which will outline opportunities for businesses. Jointly presented by SBC and the Borders Woodfuel Forum, the seminar will explore the findings of the feasibility study and discuss market opportunities for premium quality wood chip and firewood. The study, which was backed by the Scottish government, found that the most viable existing market for a new timber kiln would be the production of biomass fuel in the form wood chips or dried logs. It argued that a new facility would benefit the local economy in terms of employment, greater local timber utilisation and an increased demand for woodfuel. The council said it had made the full report available to the private sector to "encourage businesses to consider seizing the opportunity to develop a new kiln drying facility in our region". SBC councillor Stuart Bell said: "Studies undertaken as part of the Scottish Borders Woodland Strategy identified the lack of kiln drying facilities as a key constraint on the local timber processing sector. "Dried timber is a prerequisite for the majority of added value timber products. "The feasibility study confirms that, currently, there are only two very small drying kilns in the Scottish Borders but increased production of kiln-dried timber within the region could generate a range of new products serving potentially large markets, both new and existing, in the region and surrounding areas." The Iranian billionaire, 60, has been announced as the club's new major shareholder after selling his 15% share in Arsenal to Alisher Usmanov. The deal, and its ratification, ends a decade-long search for investment by chairman Bill Kenwright. Moshiri may attend his first game since the deal when Everton host Chelsea in the FA Cup on Saturday evening. Moshiri's approval was a formality given his association with Arsenal but the Premier League needed to conduct checks for the Owners' and Directors' Test before confirming the deal. Moshiri bought the 23% holding of former Everton director Robert Earl while Kenwright and board member Jon Woods diluted their shares to make up the rest of Moshiri's purchase Kenwright, who bought Everton from Peter Johnson for £20m in 1999 and indicated his willingness to sell as far back as November 2007, has described Moshiri as "the perfect partner to take the club forward". Sian Blake, 43, Zachary, eight, and four-year-old Amon were found buried in the garden of their London home on 5 January. Arthur Simpson-Kent, 49, has pleaded guilty to the killings and is being sentenced at the Old Bailey. The court heard he killed them in December and later fled to Ghana. The cannabis dealer faces whole life sentences for killing Ms Blake, who had motor neurone disease, and their children. The court heard that Ms Blake's illness and her "unhealthy" relationship led her to consider selling their home and moving back in with her family. She had spoken to her mother, Lindell Blake, about the four of them moving in with her but her mother said Simpson Kent could not come, which Ms Blake "appeared to accept". Mark Heywood QC, prosecuting, said: "The evidence suggests, and this much is not disputed, that, on the night of December 14, 2015, the defendant killed each of them in turn with heavy, deliberate, repeated blows with a blunt instrument not since recovered, and then by cutting and stabbing them with a bladed weapon in a way that ensured their deaths. "He then covered his crimes by moving, wrapping and burying each of them, cleaning and partially painting his home." In the days following her death, family tried to contact Ms Blake and received texts from her mobile phone saying she had gone away, the court was told. Mr Heywood said: "The defendant, using her [Ms Blake's] phone, was sending the messages." He said that, as police launched a missing persons investigation into Ms Blake and her children, Simpson-Kent booked a flight from Glasgow to Accra. In a message to a friend, he said: "I can't go into details about what I have done but I only have 2 choices. Go to Ghana one way or Die (sic)." He was later tracked down by police and arrested on a beach in his native Ghana, before being extradited back to the UK. When interviewed by detectives in Accra, he claimed there had been a murder-suicide pact between him and Ms Blake because of her illness - but nothing was written down. Ms Blake played Frankie Pierre in 56 episodes of EastEnders between 1996 and 1997. Jim Sturman QC, acting for Simpson-Kent, told the court the couple had previously discussed "ending it all" because of her illness. But he added: "There was no agreement to kill in this way and it was against this backdrop that the guilty pleas were entered. "It is not suggested that the killings were a mercy killing. It is our case that Simpson-Kent snapped under the pressure of the disease, the way it was killing Sian and the inevitability of it all." He said the defendant was "not a man prone to violence", adding: "What happened on that night was a truly extraordinary and out-of-character murder." The sentencing hearing continues. David Cotterill fired the visitors in front before Anthony Pilkington seized on sloppy Blues defending to equalise. In a drab second half, Birmingham's James Vaughan missed the best chance as he hit the post when clean through on David Marshall in the Cardiff goal. The result sees Bluebirds finish the season in eighth place, while Birmingham drop to 10th. In Slade's last match as Cardiff manager before becoming the club's head of football, there was nothing riding on it for either team. Cardiff's slim play-off hopes were resoundingly ended by a 3-0 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday the previous weekend, while Birmingham had already fallen out of contention for the top six. Blues did not seem to lack motivation as Cardiff-born Cotterill gave them the lead with a powerful low strike as his assistant manager for Wales, Osian Roberts, watched from the stands. Diego Fabbrini hit the post with a shot from the edge of the area as Gary Rowett's side impressed, but they contributed to their downfall as Cardiff equalised. Jonathan Grounds seemed to have time to clear Scott Malone's cross but dithered, allowing Pilkington to pinch the ball and finish from close range. The game's intensity dipped in the second half, with Cardiff only mustering a handful of half-chances. Cotterill was close to scoring a second Birmingham goal, but his dipping free-kick from 25 yards was brilliantly headed off the line by Noone. The best opportunity fell to substitute Vaughan who, one-on-one with Cardiff goalkeeper Marshall, shot against the post. Cardiff manager Russell Slade: "I move to my new role with my head held high. We have made progress as a club, we have taken strides to get us on the right track again. "I don't think it will take an awful lot more progress for this club to get where it wants to be. There is a sound platform for the next head coach to build on." Media playback is not supported on this device Birmingham manager Gary Rowett: "In stages we played well, we came on far stronger in the last 25 minutes but our performances have not been reflected in the points we have taken. "That has cost us but this has been a very positive season for this club and we are moving forward." The stated purpose of the new Bill is to make the UK the most attractive place in Europe for commercial space - including launches from British soil. But officials and stakeholders are keen to ensure the space sector does not lose out when the UK leaves the EU. The government intends to increase the UK share of the global space economy from 6.5% today to 10% by 2030. Spaceports have been an important sticking point. Previous feasibility work has already identified a number of aerodromes that might make suitable spaceports - from Cornwall to Scotland. But as the law stands, rocket planes and other launch systems currently in development around the world would not be able to operate out of the UK. The Bill would sweep away this barrier by "enabling [scientists] to launch from UK soil". The government says its legislation would "offer the UK's world-leading small satellite companies new options for low-cost, reliable access to space". Overall, the legislation aims to "deliver a stronger economy by generating jobs and putting British business, engineering and science at the forefront of this technology". It is also intended to secure continued growth of the space industry, which has been growing at an annual rate of 8% over the last decade. The sector already outperforms the UK economy as a whole. While Brexit will not affect the UK's status as a member of the European Space Agency (Esa), projects such as Galileo - the European sat-nav system - are largely funded by the EU. Guildford-based satellite manufacturer SSTL is building satellites for the system as part of a UK-German consortium. But there are restrictions on "third countries" working on classified EU information and technologies, which applies to Galileo. More on the Queen's Speech There is now a concerted effort to keep the UK - and SSTL - inside the programme. Likewise, the Copernicus programme - which includes an effort to gather information about the health of the Earth from satellite observations - is directed by the EU in partnership with Esa. The UK invested in the programme with the aim of ensuring access to operational data for industry and academia. Commenting on the announcement, Paul Everitt, chair of ADS, the trade association for the aerospace and defence sectors, said: "By paving the way for a UK spaceport and our own rocket and satellite launches, this commitment has the potential to generate significant further growth. He added: "Our sectors look to the future with confidence, but this is no time for complacency. The government must put renewed energy into industrial strategy, which has delivered real results." But Mr Everitt urged the government to refresh its approach to leaving the EU: "No deal is the worst outcome for the UK and Europe, and the government needs to build a strong consensus on the priorities and options for a successful Brexit," he said. Neil Fraser, head of space and communications at satellite broadcasting firm ViaSat, commented: "Critics may prefer the UK Government to look closer to home, but investments in space quickly return commercial applications." He added that space "is a dynamic, fast growing sector which employs some of the country's top talent, as well as contributing to economic growth and other important national needs, such as Earth observation and satellite communications". One key concern for industry is getting access to qualified staff. At the moment, engineers can move without restriction inside the EU, and the UK space sector's leaders have told government that if the ambitious target for future growth is to be achieved then the recruitment of talent from the continent must continue to be frictionless.

The governors say that they are writing in response to a previous letter signed by 28 teachers which, they allege, was critical of school inspectors and the acting-principal and vice-principal. Despite the governors writing that "we do not expect it to see it on any website or other media," the letter has been obtained by the BBC. An inspection by the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI) published on 9 January highlighted "poor working relationships" at the 1,100 pupil post-primary school. The governors' letter to all members of the teaching staff is also dated 9 January. It alleges that "comments regarding the acting principal and vice principal" made in the previous letter were "totally unacceptable and potentially libellous". It also said that there is "resistance to improvements by a small group of staff who consider they have no obligation or responsibility for the difficulties which the school has encountered". The letter also criticises those teachers "with a post of responsibility in the management structure" who signed the earlier letter for failing to see their involvement in shaping the current situation. It concludes by inviting teachers who feel "that they do not have the qualities or commitment necessary to professionally address the obvious deficiencies in the school" to "carefully consider their position". The letter also mentions that the "school is subject to monitoring by Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) because of malpractice in the operation of De La Salle as an examination centre in 2016". There have been a number of difficulties at De La Salle over the past year including staff disputes and protests by some parents. Northampton Borough Council sold the 4,000-year-old Sekhemka statue in July. Arts Council England has ruled the council ineligible for a series of grants because of the sale. The funding was being sought for an exhibition of designer shoes dating from the 19th Century to the present. The council said it was "disappointed". As well as losing Arts Council "accreditation", the Museums Association has decided to ban the council from membership for five years. But the authority said it had already decided to resign its membership. Arts Council England said the sale of Sekhemka breached the accredited standards for how museums managed their collections. Money from the auction at Christie's was shared with Lord Northampton, whose ancestors donated the statue to Northampton Museum. The HLF said it had rejected Northampton Council's Collecting Cultures application for £240,400 because it was ineligible for that particular programme. This programme requires Arts Council eligibility as part of its criteria, a spokeswoman said. "We would assess any other future applications from the council on their own merits," she said. The borough council received £130,000 in 2008 from the HLF for a Collecting Cultures project called Trainers, Sneakers, Pumps and Daps. The council said it understood the HLF had a duty to fund a wide range of projects and was disappointed to miss out. The proposed Digital Bill of Rights would protect personal information and impose tougher penalties on theft and illegal sale of data. The party has pledged to introduce it within six months of a new coalition government. Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said the bill would "stop information about our lives being misused". "We need to ensure that consumers, businesses, journalists and our children are protected in the online world," he said, launching a consultation on the plans. The party said the bill would "beef up" powers for the Information Commissioner to inspect companies that break data protection laws. It would give legal rights to compensation for consumers from companies which get people to sign up online to deliberately misleading or unreadable terms and conditions. Other measures contained in the proposal include a code of practice for websites to correct defamatory or inaccurate information. It would also enshrine in law the responsibility of the government to defend press freedom for journalists and citizen journalists online. Julian Huppert, the Lib Dem's election candidate for Cambridge, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that individual rights could be enforced without harming freedom of expression. "Yes you want free speech but we've said for many, many centuries, that there should also be the right not to be defamed," he said. "I think it is right to protect the citizen from having that sort of attack." In 2013, more than 500 writers from around the world signed an open letter to the United Nations urging it to create an international bill of digital rights. The letter condemned the scale of state surveillance after whistle-blower Edward Snowden leaked information about surveillance carried out by the US Government. The 58-year-old victim was in Church Street, Workington, on 15 July when she was targeted by Jack Walker, 18. She was beaten so badly during the assault she suffered two swollen eyes and needed stitches, Carlisle Crown Court heard. Walker, of Dean Street, Workington, admitted rape and grievous bodily harm. He was jailed for 11 years. He also admitted sexual assault and attempted rape. Det Con Jim Grattan, of Cumbria Police, said the victim had "shown true bravery" throughout the investigation. "There is no excuse for Walker's unthinkable actions and I am glad that he is now facing a significant sentence for his crimes", he said. "His victim was innocently walking her dog when Walker forced himself upon and conducted his brutal attack. Walker will also go on the Sex Offenders' Register indefinitely. This debate, as well as recent differences of opinion between the leader and his shadow cabinet, have focused attention on the complex process by which policies will end up in Labour's manifesto. Here's a guide: Labour Party policy is the result of consultation with members, elected representatives (MPs, MEPs and councillors) and the trade unions. The main body for shaping policy is the National Policy Forum, an elected group of over 200 people representing councillors, trade unions, socialist societies and MPs. It produces reports on the different policy areas, which are presented at annual conference and either accepted or rejected in a vote. For manifesto policy, there is a formal consultation process which culminates in a meeting of the forum the year before the general election to agree the final details of what will form the foundation of Labour's next manifesto. This document is then put before conference for adoption as Labour's policy programme. No proposal is included in the party programme unless it is adopted by a majority of not less than two-thirds of a conference vote. Importantly, conference votes whether to accept or reject large policy documents as a whole - not on individual policies or line by line. When Labour is not in government, the final say on which items make it into the manifesto is made at a meeting of Labour's ruling National Executive Committee (NEC), the shadow cabinet and key figures from both the Parliamentary Labour Party and the National Policy Forum. Day to day policy-making on Labour's position on votes that arise in the House of Commons is slightly different. It relies on a looser and more informal process based on consultation and consent with the shadow cabinet, Labour MPs and the NEC. The annual autumn conference is described by Labour as "the ultimate authority in the party". Labour's Conference Arrangements Committee oversees the agenda and sets the timetable. If it accepts a motion, they are grouped into topics and conference delegates choose four topics submitted by local Labour parties and four topics from trade unions. Once the broad topic headings have been picked, all the representatives of the local Labour parties or trade unions who tabled a motion on each topic must get together and put all their different motions into one "composite" motion that is acceptable to everyone. The final composite motions are then scheduled for debate on the conference floor. Roughly 10,000 people are expected to attend this year's Labour Party conference but only around 1,000 of these are delegates eligible to vote. Delegates come from three places: local Labour parties, trade unions and socialist societies. Crucially, these delegates will not include any of the 62,000 new members who have joined Labour since Jeremy Corbyn became leader. That's because to be a delegate you must have had 12 months' continuous party membership at the delegate registration deadline, which was in June this year. The local parties and trade unions (along with other affiliated socialist societies) each make up 50% of the vote on the conference floor. Delegates can vote for something to be included in the party programme based on a majority of not less than two-thirds. But remember, only eight topics are chosen for debate at conference. Since, as explained above, all groups who submitted motions on a certain policy area have to get together to agree a final draft motion acceptable to everyone, what's adopted often ends up being quite vague and agreeable to everyone. Affiliated trade union members get half of the votes at conference, but this is on a one member, one vote basis. Former Labour leader John Smith abolished the trade union bloc vote and replaced it with individual votes for each union delegate. This meant union bosses could no longer wield huge numbers of votes which would sway party policy. Unions have also drastically reduced in size from the days when they would dominate Labour policy-making. Any leader has scope to influence policy through personal authority. Jeremy Corbyn, for example, can refer to his decisive mandate of being elected by almost 60% of voters in the Labour leadership election. But that doesn't mean he can dictate policy. Members of the shadow cabinet and Labour MPs are well represented on Labour's key policy-making bodies. The threat of shadow cabinet resignations is a serious consideration for any leader. Lord Falconer has already publicly threatened to quit as shadow justice secretary if the Labour leader campaigns for the UK to leave the European Union. And Labour MPs could simply choose to rebel against official party policy in any Commons votes on issues they are at odds with Jeremy Corbyn on, with likely clashes set to include military intervention in Syria and Trident renewal. Some Labour MPs argue they were elected in their constituencies on their own mandates according to the policies outlined in Labour's 2015 general election manifesto. Yes. Policy is made collectively in the Labour party, not by any single individual. Politically all Labour leaders have no doubt been constrained at times by the overwhelming view of the shadow cabinet, or threats by the trade unions to cut off their funding. Both those who support and oppose Jeremy Corbyn seem agreed on this point. However, the leader's office exerts a significant degree of influence, and is on occasion able to bend the ear of the party's policy-making institutions and representatives. During the Labour leadership contest Mr Corbyn repeatedly said he wanted to "democratise" Labour's policy-making process and "empower party members". As leader he has suggested decisions taken at party conference will become binding policy. Asked whether scrapping the Trident nuclear weapons system would become party policy if conference votes that way, he told The New Statesman: "Well, it would be, of course, because it would have been passed at conference." However, the Labour Party's rule book appears to stipulate that if Mr Corbyn does want to change the process (as Ed Miliband and other opposition leaders have tended to do), he must first ask the National Executive Committee to put any such changes on the conference agenda. These must then by passed by delegates in a vote at conference. Brian Webb, owner of Webbs of Leverington, Cambridgeshire, began offering customers in nearby villages a 30p next-day service in March. Since then he has sold 80,000 stamps at half the cost of the Royal Mail's first-class postal service. Deliveries have doubled to 2,000 items per day since 1 December, he said. "It's really snowballed. It's like Christmas is going out of fashion and everyone is sending cards," Mr Webb said. His service was initially offered only to customers of his newsagent business in 20 villages in the Wisbech area. Mr Webb does not use post boxes but instead people order his custom-made stamps and his staff of 14 pick up their post and deliver it while on their newspaper rounds or at pre-arranged times. Businesses in the area soon became aware of his cut-price service and sales of stamps rocketed within a couple of months. "I'm supporting their businesses and they're supporting mine," Mr Webb said. He now collects and delivers to 25 local businesses every day. "The three doctors' surgeries in the area are also using me now. Between them they send out about 500 letters a night." Before starting his business, Mr Webb had to seek approval from Ofcom, the independent communications services regulator. Webb's Postal Service is thought to be only the second such private scheme in the country. A similar postal service is operated in Wellington, in Somerset. Having seen the problems encountered by a parcel delivery company in the UK in the pre-Christmas season, Mr Webb is considering branching out and next year offering to deliver those as well as letters. Spanish-born Nsue, 24, has been capped by Equatorial Guinea and is expected to complete a three-year deal. "He is a versatile player who I have known for five years. He is a good lad with a good mentality and approach to the game," Boro boss Aitor Karanka told the club website. "I know the type of person he is, and that is important." He added: "As a player he can play in different positions and I am delighted we have agreed a deal to sign him." Nsue's selection for Equatorial Guinea proved costly as the player failed to meet eligibility requirements, with Cape Verde awarded a technical 3-0 win for the two matches in which he played. They say the move at Telford's Princess Royal Hospital could be made as part of a review of Shropshire's health care. Gill George, Shropshire Defend our NHS chair, said it would be "life-threatening" for some patients forced to travel 18 miles to Shrewsbury's A&E. NHS bosses said they were appraising things but had not made a decision. This was "months away", they said. For more on this story and other Shropshire news The NHS Future Fit programme was launched in 2014 to review the health system across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and mid-Wales, and is set to finish in spring 2017. The Defend Our NHS group said a decision to close the A&E and have a single department for the county at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital was taken at a "non-financial appraisal" meeting on Friday. Ms George said: "An area of this size needs both A&Es and both hospitals, and we have opposed the closure of either A&E. But this is a particularly catastrophic outcome for people in Telford and Wrekin who are going to face journeys of over 18 miles in a medical emergency." Campaigners say all planned care, such as routine surgery and cancer care, will be at Telford, meaning most people in Shropshire and Powys will face "unacceptable journey times". An NHS Future Fit spokesman said the findings of two appraisals would go before its board next month. This would then make a recommendation to the Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Groups. "The NHS Future Fit programme still has a long way to go before a final decision is made. This includes a full public consultation that will run for a minimum of 12 weeks," he said. Telford & Wrekin Council's Leader Shaun Davies said the proposals "make absolutely no sense" and the authority would consider seeking a judicial review if the decision was confirmed. He said police acted in a "militarised and aggressive manner" in detaining him and nearly 200 other people last month. The protests were against the killing of Alton Sterling, a black man, in the Louisiana city. State governor John Bel Edwards has previously said the police's response was appropriate. Mr McKesson was held on 9 July on a charge of obstructing a highway. In the lawsuit, he and two other fellow protesters claimed that police were unnecessarily aggressive during the arrests. It said that "defendants used excessive force in attacking, battering, beating and assaulting plaintiffs and class members without provocation or the need for defence". The three arrested protesters said they wanted the lawsuit to have class action status. The shooting of Alton Sterling was one of a string of police killings of black people by white police officers in recent years that triggered mass protests and rekindled debates about race relations in the US. Henry Moloney worked at the time as a choirmaster and music teacher at Rockwell College, near Cashel, County Tipperary. The 77-year-old, of Kimmage Manor, Dublin, was found guilty of seven counts of indecent assault on the schoolboy. He had denied the charges. The victim had told Clonmel Circuit Court how the abuse began near the start of a school year after Moloney asked him to join the choir. He said although he knew what had happened was wrong, he thought no-one would believe him instead of a priest. The offences all took place in the course of one school year, in the college's chapel and in Moloney's room there. Moloney is due to be sentenced on 15 December. Media playback is not supported on this device Italy took an early lead as number eight Sergio Parisse finished off a flowing counter-attack but France hit back as his opposite number, Louis Picamoles, powered over. Luciano Orquera's boot saw the hosts stretch clear but Benjamin Fall's try and Frederic Michalak's kicks put the visitors 18-13 up 10 minutes into the second half. France looked set to pull away but Martin Castrogiovanni's converted try put Italy back in front and Kris Burton's drop-goal and some ferocious defence saw the hosts secure a dramatic victory. The two nations may consider themselves friends and equals off the rugby pitch, but on the field of play it has always been a wholly unequal relationship. (provided by accenture) Going into the game France led their head-to-head 31-2 and were in great form after a November clean sweep against Australia, Argentina and Samoa. France had lost the last time the two sides met in Rome, with Italy pulling off a famous 22-21 victory in 2011, but French pre-match talk of a possible repeat seemed designed more to take the pressure off their team, rather than genuine fear of Italy. However, the Italians were determined to prove they were more than deserving of the respect offered to them by their visitors. Their pack has always been able to mix it with the best, with it including the likes of the world-class Parisse, but this time Italy's backs stood up to be counted with Orquera turning in a man-of-the-match performance at fly-half and winger Giovanbattista Venditti proving a real handful. Captain Parisse started the ball rolling, although Orquera was the architect of the score. Luke McLean began a counter-attack and, when the ball came into midfield, Orquera saw he was up against France prop Nicolas Mas and took full advantage, slicing through the visiting defensive line. Parisse was ranging up in support and had the pace to out-run the cover and cross for a cracking try, with Orquera adding the extras to get the game off to an explosive start. The opening two matches of the championship on Saturday had both been exciting encounters, and it was soon clear this match was to join them. France were rapidly on the scoreboard as Picamoles, who had been driven back by opposite number Parisse earlier in the move, this time got the upper hand and showed his immense power to go over for an unconverted score. A drop-goal and penalty from Orquera put Italy 13-5 up but Michalak trimmed the margin with a penalty and then put France ahead after Fall finished off a fantastic French move. Media playback is not supported on this device Ten minutes into the second half veteran play-maker Michalak, starting his first Six Nations game at fly-half for seven years, slotted a penalty to put France five points ahead and it looked as though the momentum was with them. But Italy had other ideas. The hosts looked to have blown their chance of a try after failing to exploit an overlap inside the France 22, but from a ruck near the line, Orquera sniped around the fringes, somehow managed to free his arms from the gasp of two giant French forwards and fed Castrogiovanni to plunge over. Orquera converted and when his replacement Burton added a drop-gal with 12 minutes to go, the hosts led by five points. France had been under the cosh but they finally roused themselves and looked as though they might sneak victory with a late attack. Italy saw prop Davide Giazzon yellow carded but managed to hold out when France subsequently went for a pushover try from a scrum, forcing the visitors to attack through their backs. They were repelled in the right corner and when they spun the ball back to the left, Fall was swept into touch by a tide of white shirts. Italy coach Jacques Brunel set his side a target of at least two wins in this year's Six Nations, while captain Parisse said before the game that one day he wants to win the competition, adding "why not this year?". On the evidence of the Stadio Olimpico, that may not be the unlikely dream most imagined it to be at the start of the day.

Att: 67,529 Police said items were taken in the Moyraverty Road West area of Craigavon last weekend. It is understood the arrests were in connection with the theft of £80,000 worth of jewellery from Argento. The pair, aged 41 and 63, have been released pending further inquiries. Ted Trim, from Theydon Bois, was declared the winner after final heats in Essex and West Sussex on Saturday. More than 200 people competed in six-car 10-lap races around a 28ft (8.55m) circuit at the events, but no-one could beat the best time of 2015, set by Ted. He won with 24.49 seconds. His time was recorded in Harlow in August. He said he had come across the competition while out shopping and had just decided "to have a go". "I'm happy and surprised because I'd never played before," Ted said, adding that he would be defending his title next year. The teenager said he had since bought a Scalextric set. Other heats during this year were also held elsewhere in the UK and Europe. The final rounds took place at the English Martyrs Church Hall in Goring-by-Sea, and at Marquee Models in the Harvey Centre, Harlow. Competitors raced against each other using Maserati Trofeos, a Bentley Continental and a Chevrolet Camaro. They used the same Scalextric Digital layout as the other championship events and use the same models of Scalextric cars and controllers. Prizes were awarded for the fastest time each hour and to the overall winner and top under-16 racer of the day. Local schoolboy Vlad Howe was the winner in Goring-by-Sea, having set the fastest time of the day of 32.53 seconds. His father said: "I've got boxes of Scalextric in the loft. Maybe it's time to get it down." In Harlow, the winner of the day was 66-year-old Colin Gill, with the fastest time of 29.3 seconds. The 60-year-old Democratic Congressman represented the state of Pennsylvania for 22 years, and was one of Congress' most senior black lawmakers. The penalty was handed down by a federal judge in Philadelphia, the city that he represented until June 2016. Fatah vowed to appeal the conviction. He will report to prison next month. During sentencing Fatah told US District Judge Harvey Bartle that he had "helped tens of millions of people" during his 37-year political career. Calling his crimes "astonishing", given that Fatah and his TV anchor wife already had a $500,000 annual income, the judge handed down the second-longest prison sentence ever given to a US congressman for corruption. He said he was sorry that the jury "found him on the wrong side of these questions" and expressed gratitude for the work he was able to do during his time in Congress. Fatah was convicted in June 2016 of taking bribes that he used to enrich himself and preserve his political career. "He chose to violate the trust of his constituents and the taxpayers to line his pockets and advance his personal and professional goals at their expense," Special Assistant US Attorney Eric Gibson accused. The jury found that he had taken an illegal $1,000,000 (£788,000) loan in order to launch a failed 2007 bid to become the mayor of Philadelphia. When his candidacy failed, he used federal funding including Nasa grant money to pay off his campaign debts. He also used charity funds to pay down his son's college loans, and took a bribe from a friend and former campaign aide in order to lobby President Barack Obama to make him an ambassador. Prosecutors alleged that he even hand-delivered a letter to President Obama in order to support an ambassadorial appointment for his former campaign aide, Herbert Vederman. He was also found guilty of disguising a lobbyist's bribe as payment for a car that he never sold. Four of his aides have been found guilty as well, and will be sentenced later this week. Fatah's son, Chaka Fatah Jr, is serving a five-year sentence on bank and tax fraud charges. His prison term begins on 25 January 2017. Police confirmed the driver was killed on Monday morning and workplace safety officials were investigating. Witnesses described how the woman lost control of the bike, jumped a kerb and crashed into a building. The Marvel Comics sequel stars Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds and has been filming in his hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia, since June. In a statement posted on the actor's Twitter feed, he wrote: "Today we tragically lost a member of our crew while filming Deadpool. "We're heartbroken, shocked and devastated... but recognise nothing can come close to the grief and inexplicable pain her family and loved ones must feel in this moment." 20th Century Fox said: "Our hearts and prayers are with the family, friends and colleagues of our crew member during this difficult time." End of Twitter post by @jerfree The Vancouver Sun reported that city centre streets had been closed since last week to film motorcycle and scooter scenes. Local media say the stuntwoman had successfully practiced the stunt several times before the fatal accident. End of Twitter post by @VancityReynolds Witnesses tell CTV in Vancouver that the driver lost control, narrowly missing pedestrians, and then crashed through a glass window pane. The network adds that an Advanced Life Support ambulance responded and remained on scene for about 45 minutes before leaving without its lights or sirens activated. The name of the stuntwoman has not yet been released. The driver may have been filming a scene for the female character Domino, played by Zazie Beetz. Photographers had spotted Beetz in costume riding a motorcycle last week. The boat sustained significant damage after the submarine snagged its fishing nets and pulled it backwards 18 miles off the County Down coast in April. Its skipper said at the time his crew were lucky to escape unharmed, and the damage would cost about £10,000 to fix. The MoD has now said a British submarine was involved in the incident. It had previously said it did not comment on submarine activity. But "new information" had emerged to show a UK submarine was responsible for damaging the boat, named the MV Karen, the Royal Navy said. In a written statement to the House of Commons, Minister for the Armed Forces Penny Mordaunt said: "The incident, the delay in identifying and addressing the events on that day, and their consequences are deeply regretted. "This incident occurred because the submarine did not correctly identify the Karen as a fishing vessel with nets in the water, and thus did not give her the berth she would otherwise have had." Ms Mordaunt added that had the submarine crew been aware of the incident, protocols required it to surface and remain on scene while the matter was investigated. Paul Murphy, the trawler's skipper, was told of the development in a letter from the Royal Navy on Monday morning. The Royal Navy apologised to Mr Murphy and his crew for causing what it said was a "frightening incident", and said the MoD would be contacting him to discuss compensation. At the time, Mr Murphy said the boat almost capsized as it was dragged through the sea. The four crew members on board reacted quickly to release the safety net, Mr Murphy said, but were left shaken. Northern Ireland's Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill said she was "appalled and astonished at the actions of the MoD". She added: "Why does it take the MoD almost five months to come clean and admit what it has done? "We were told there was no allied submarine within 150 miles of the incident. "We were led to believe this was an unsanctioned action by an unidentified nation." The SDLP MP Margaret Ritchie said the government should have admitted its involvement "immediately" after the incident. She was told in June by Ms Mordaunt that the Royal Navy had "confidence that no UK submarine was involved". Ms Ritchie said: "The minister's confidence was very clearly misplaced and it's imperative that she appears before the Commons to offer a full explanation." Madala Washington died at the Bisley prison after being assaulted at about 13:00 BST on Friday. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) confirmed the death of the 25-year-old at the category C jail, which houses about 500 inmates. Surrey Police said his death was being "treated as unexplained" and detectives were trying to determine the circumstances of his death. A spokesman added: "Officers attended the address shortly after 1pm today today following reports of a serious assault on an inmate at the prison." In a statement, the MoJ said as with all custody deaths there would be an investigation by the independent Prisons and Probation Ombudsman. In 2015, a report by Coldingley's Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) said staffing cuts had led to an increase in illegal drugs and weapons at the prison. The annual publication also said prisoners were locked in their cells for up to 15 hours a day. HMP Prison Service said in a statement Coldingley had safe and decent staff levels and extra prison officers had been recruited. Sea Trust says the area's importance as a "porpoise stronghold" should be internationally recognised. Research shows sightings there are consistently higher than in other UK and European areas. Trust director Cliff Benson says protection would be based on preserving the area as it is at the moment. "Obviously the porpoises are undeterred by our local fishermen and recreational boaters," said Mr Benson. "But the importance of this areas as a porpoise stronghold should be internationally recognised so that any future developments which might affect their status here would be subject to stringent environmental assessments. "Let's make 2013 the year we put them on the map". In recent years research by Sea Trust and other conservationists has established that the north Pembrokeshire coast and such inshore islands as Skokholm, Skomer and Ramsay are strongholds. They are not uncommon in Welsh waters, Mr Benson added, but there are few if any similar recorded concentrations in UK waters. "It is something we in west Wales should be very proud of," he said. He said this year the Trust aimed to make a determined effort to make the case that several places in Pembrokeshire meet the criteria to be "porpoise hotspots" and be included in the designation of Marine Protection Areas. "The designation of and inclusion of harbour porpoise into the Pembrokeshire Marine Special Area of Conservation (SAC) is long overdue and it needs extending," he added. Strumble Head, just west of Fishguard and outside the SAC, has consistently attracted concentrations of scores and occasionally hundreds of porpoises. "They are there on a daily basis throughout the year and we have plentiful records of them feeding and breeding there," said Mr Benson. The Sea Trust campaign is supported by Elfyn Pugh, a director of the cetacean conservation organisation Orca, who described the waters off Strumble as "like porpoise soup," he said. But in her statement announcing her resignation, Ms James suggested some at the upper echelons were never fully on board. She said while she had won the support of members, she did not have the full backing of UKIP's MEPs or party officers to implement the changes she felt necessary, prompting her decision to step aside. The statement also referenced personal reasons - thought to be family illness, as well as abuse she received since her election. It was largely unexpected though, even among some senior party figures who expressed surprise or even shock at the timing. Ms James took over UKIP at a time when it was beset by rifts and infighting. There were different factions within the party that were struggling to come together and agree on its future direction. When elected, she made a point of saying that the focus for her was on unity - the party needed to get behind her and rally around. She wanted to make some changes about the way the party was governed, how its ruling body, the national executive committee, ran things. Reading between the lines of her statement, it seems she does not feel she can continue do that. We can assume she thinks the job was just too big or she did not have the support of her colleagues within UKIP. UKIP members have gone through a strange period. They won the EU referendum in their eyes. They got what they wanted. The party after that moment was on a real high. At their conference in Bournemouth you could really sense that euphoria but at the same time they had Nigel Farage - the man people credit with UKIP's success - resign. So people looked to the next leader for some sort of stability and viewed Ms James as the best option for that. She was the clear frontrunner and yet has decided she cannot continue so this now will throw UKIP back into a state of turmoil and division. The legislation creates a government body with powers to force internet service providers to block sites. It comes as the US plans to adopt similar tough new rules. The crackdown on piracy has been welcomed by the creative industries but criticised by net activists. Under the Sinde Law, named after the former Spanish Culture Minister Angeles Gonzalez-Sinde, rights holders can report websites hosting infringing content to a newly created government commission. The intellectual property commission will decide whether it wants to take action against an infringing site or the ISPs providing infrastructure to it, and the case will then be passed to a judge to rule on whether the site should be shut down. The aim is to complete the process within 10 days. The Spanish government said that the legislation was necessary to bring it in line with international crackdowns on piracy. It had been put on hold by the previous government but the ruling party, Partido Popular, decided to move ahead and implement it at one of its first meetings since coming to power in November. Deputy PM Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said that the aim of the law was "to safeguard intellectual property, boost our culture industries and protect the rights of owners, creators and others in the face of the lucrative plundering of illegal downloading sites." Campaigners said that it set a dangerous precedent. "This is another example of bad copyright law eating away at the safeguards around freedom of expression," said Peter Bradwell from the UK's Open Rights Group. "The same overblown demands to pare down proper legal processes are being made to the government here in the UK. Our policy makers must not throw away the keys to the internet simply because copyright lobbyists are quite good at complaining." Opposition has been strong in Spain, with bloggers, journalists and tech professionals staging a series of protests, including writing an anti-Sinde manifesto. Last year hacktivist group Anonymous organised a protest at the Goya Awards - Spain's equivalent of the Oscars - which saw several hundred people in Guy Fawkes masks booing the minister of culture while applauding Alex de la Iglesia, then president of the Spanish Film Academy. The movie director had previously voiced opposition to the Sinde law on Twitter and later resigned over the issue. The creative industries around the world have been frustrated with delays in implementing laws designed to crack down on piracy such as the UK's Digital Economy Act. Instead many are finding new ways to use existing laws to crack down on piracy. In the UK, the movie industry body MPA (Motion Picture Association) used copyright law to force BT to block access to Newzbin, a members-only site which links to pirated material. Following the success of the case, Sky has also agreed to block access. In France, the government is pursuing a three strikes policy for persistent pirates. Hadopi, the body set up to administer the policy, said in mid-2011 that over the previous nine months it had been tracking 18 million French IP addresses. It sent a total of 470,000 first warnings by email, with 20,000 users receiving a second warning through the mail. About 10 people who appeared to ignore the two warnings were asked to come and explain their actions to the agency. Across the Atlantic, the US law Sopa (Stop Online Piracy Act) is proving equally controversial. A series of tech firms have removed their names for a list of supporters following widespread opposition from high profile tech leaders such as Eric Schmidt. Sopa aims to stop online ad networks and payment processors from doing business with foreign websites accused of enabling or facilitating copyright infringement. It could stop search engines from linking to the allegedly infringing sites. Domain name registrars could be forced to take down the websites, and internet service providers could be forced to block access to the sites accused of infringing. The founders of Google, Twitter and eBay were among a large group of signatories to a strongly worded letter to Congress criticising the legislation as censorship. US pressure was in part responsible for Spain's current tough anti-piracy stance, following a 2008 report that found it to be one of the worst countries in Europe for piracy. A later IDC report - The Observation of Piracy and Consumption of Digital Content Habits - commissioned by a coalition of Spain's rights-holders suggested that piracy in Spain cost legal content rights owners 5.2bn euros ($6.8bn, £4.3bn) in the first half of 2010. It claimed that 97.8% of all music consumption in Spain was driven by illegal downloads, with 77% of movie downloads and 60.7% of game downloads taking place illegally in the first six months of 2010, according to a study conducted by IDC Research for the Madrid-based Coalition of Content Creators and Industries. "The large number of tourists visiting Europe in the summer months will present greater targets for terrorists," the State Department said. The event is being hosted from 10 June to 10 July at various venues. France is already under a state of emergency following last year's Islamist-claimed attacks in Paris. The near-simultaneous assaults on a stadium, concert hall, bars and restaurants left 130 people dead and many more wounded. In March, 32 people died in neighbouring Belgium when suicide blasts hit Brussels airport and a metro station. So-called Islamic State said it was behind both the Paris and Brussels attacks. Up to one million foreign fans are expected in France for the tournament, which involves the continent's top national teams. In its travel alert for US citizens, the State Department warns of the dangers of militant attacks throughout Europe. The attacks could hit tourist sites, restaurants, commercial centres and transportation, it warns, with large events such as Euro 2016 singled out. 2.5m are expected in stadiums for the games 1m foreign visitors 51 matches are taking place 10 venues across France are hosting games 90,000 security staff deployed The warning also cites the Tour de France cycle race and the Catholic Church's Youth Day in Krakow, Poland, which is expected to draw up to 2.5 million visitors. An unnamed US official told the Reuters news agency they had no particular threat information that gave rise to the latest alert. Britain's Foreign Office warns of a high threat from terrorism in France. Asked if it wanted to comment on the warning from the US, it said it had specific advice for football fans travelling to the competition. France's state of emergency was extended to included the tournament, and it also plans to deploy anti-drone technology as another precaution. More than 90,000 police, soldiers and private security agents are being deployed as well. Rita King, 81, died at De La Mer House in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, on 28 December last year. Her husband Ronald, 87, is on trial at Chelmsford Crown Court. He denies murder. After shooting his wife, jurors heard, Mr King turned the gun on himself but told staff "I cannot do it". Prosecutor Andrew Jackson told the jury there was "no dispute" Mr King, who was born with a disability in his left arm, had shot his wife of 50 years. Live: For the latest on the Ronald King trial and other Essex stories He shot Mrs King through the eye with her father's World War Two Enfield service revolver, using a bullet dating back to 1943, the court heard. When he left the lounge area of the home, the jury was told, Mr King was approached by staff. He told staff: "I've just shot my wife. She had suffered enough." The court heard the couple lived in Ilford until 2012 when they moved to a bungalow in Walton. Shortly after they moved to the town, Mrs King began showing signs of dementia. By the time of her death, jurors heard, Mrs King could make simple decisions about eating and drinking but could not have made big or far-reaching decisions. Mr Jackson told the jury she could not have entered into what is commonly called a suicide pact because she did not have the ability to retain information. He said: "Prior to the killing of Mrs King, Mr and Mrs King had been a devoted couple. This is an extremely sad and tragic case. "Mr King admits that he shot his wife dead. There is no dispute about that. "As you will hear in a tape recorded interview in the presence of an independent person, he admitted he had intended to kill her." The trial continues. The polls suggest there may be a hung parliament after 7 May, raising the possibility of a coalition or a deal between different political parties. Labour has called on the Tories to "come clean" over whether they would team up with UKIP, in that event. And the Tories have warned a Labour-SNP deal would destabilise the country. Former Lib Dem leader Lord Ashdown said Thursday's inconclusive seven-way leaders' debate suggested another coalition was inevitable. The televised event featured David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg alongside UKIP leader Nigel Farage, the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon, Green leader Natalie Bennett and Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood. The opinion polls suggested there was no clear winner from the debate, but commentators said it made the British political system look very different from the traditional two or three-party set-up. With the polls pointing to there being no overall winner on 7 May, there has been pressure on the parties to say what they would do if they did not win a majority. Nigel Farage has described David Cameron as "somebody we can sit down and talk to" but he said UKIP could "could never" do a deal with Ed Miliband because of his stance on the EU referendum. Labour's shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said the public deserved to know whether the Conservatives planned to do a deal with Mr Farage's party. He has written to David Cameron urging him to set out his intentions. It comes after both Mr Cameron and his Conservative chancellor, George Osborne, refused to rule out a deal during separate media appearances. For much of this campaign, the battle has been largely between the Conservatives and Labour. And they've been happy to keep it so. Both parties want voters to see the contest as a binary choice, above all between two potential prime ministers, David Cameron and Ed Miliband. But the seven-way debate has reminded voters of other possibilities. The polls currently suggest that no one party is likely to win an outright majority. And so the smaller parties are keen to talk up the idea they may play a role in the next government. So the SNP claims they could curb Labour cuts. UKIP hints they could speed up a Tory EU referendum. And the Lib Dems argue they could keep any government honest. The question is whether these arguments will sway undecided voters. Traditionally in election campaigns, support grows for larger parties as polling day gets closer and minds get focused. The smaller parties hope they can break that tradition and persuade people that this time, for once, they really could make a difference. In a post-debate clash with Labour frontbencher Douglas Alexander on BBC 2's Newsnight, Mr Osborne was challenged to "look down the lens" and dismiss the prospect. Mr Osborne said the Conservatives were aiming for a majority on 7 May - a response echoed by Mr Cameron in a Sky News interview the following morning. Meanwhile, Tory chief whip Michael Gove was pressed on the issue during BBC Question Time, and said "nein danke" ("no thanks") to any deal with UKIP. 'Lethal cocktail' "For 24 hours, a stream of Cabinet ministers have failed to rule out UKIP and the Tories doing a deal," wrote Mr Burnham in his letter to the PM. He claimed a pact was supported by large numbers of Tory MPs and activists, and warned it would be a "poisonous proposition" which would harm the NHS, "It is now essential that you come clean about your plans," he demanded. Last month, Labour leader Ed Miliband ruled out the prospect of a formal coalition deal with the SNP if the party were to fall short of a majority on 7 May. But the Conservatives say Labour has not rejected the idea of a more informal arrangement with the Scottish nationalists, such as support on a vote-by-vote basis - an idea Mr Cameron has described as "despicable". Mr Gove told Sky News it was clear the SNP would pull Mr Miliband "well to the left" if he was forced to rely on their votes in the House of Commons. "I think that people appreciate that there would be an inherent instability in that arrangement," said. He said people would not like the "potential chaos" of Mr Miliband as prime minister having to run every decision past the SNP who would only work in the interests of Scotland and Scottish nationalism. "If the country chooses to it could vote for a patchwork coalition... I prefer to say a lethal cocktail of different parties which all have different objectives - there would be an automatic instability," Mr Gove added. But Mr Burnham told the BBC Labour had been clear it would not want to see any deal "that furthered the prospects of the break up of the United Kingdom". He accused the Conservatives of "talking up" an SNP-Labour pact to "distract attention" from the prospect of a Tory-UKIP arrangement. Liberal Democrat campaign chief Lord Ashdown said only the Lib Dems could provide stable coalition partners in a hung parliament. "You have got three choices," the former party leader said. "You have got the SNP working with Labour determined to break up the country, you have got the mad, right-wing, far fringes of extremism of Mr Farage, or you have got a Nick Clegg." "If you accept the case there is going to be a coalition and no-one is going to govern by themselves, the choice between these three seems to me a no-brainer." • 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. The BBC has learnt New York-based Teneo Holdings has been retained in the wake of the criminal investigation launched into football's world governing body by the US Department of Justice in May. The company's president is Doug Band, who served as a director on the US 2022 World Cup bid committee. Band, together with Fifa executive committee member Sunil Gulati and others, made the final World Cup bid presentation to high-ranking officials in Zurich in 2010. He served as a close adviser to President Bill Clinton during his years in the White House. Band then stayed with Clinton after his presidency ended, helping him establish in 2005 the Clinton Global Initiative, which has raised billions of dollars for worthwhile causes. Clinton acted as honorary chairman for the US 2022 bid committee and initially served as a senior advisor to Teneo. He stepped down from the position in 2012. The US made it through to the final round of the 2022 World Cup vote in December 2010, losing out to Qatar. Media playback is not supported on this device Teneo is believed to have been hired by Fifa following advice from Quinn Emmanuel, the American law firm working on its behalf. Teneo describes itself as "a global advisory firm" which "is focused on working with clients to address a wide range of financial, reputational and transformational challenges and opportunities". It's understood the firm's links with senior politicians and with the US Department of Justice were a motivating factor for Fifa's choice as it seeks to mitigate the legal and financial threats facing it. The indictment from the DoJ in May led to the arrest and detention of 14 football officials and sports marketing executives on charges of "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted" corruption following a major inquiry by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The DoJ insists its investigations are only just beginning. Teneo's links with the upper echelons of US politics are well established. Senator George Mitchell is listed as a senior adviser to the firm. Mitchell is a former Senate majority leader and was appointed as special envoy to Northern Ireland by Clinton in 1995. In 2009, Hilary Clinton, in her capacity as US Secretary of State, appointed him as US special envoy to the Middle East. Mitchell is also known for his work in baseball, having led a 2006 investigation into the use of performance-enhancing drugs by players. Teneo has expertise in handling companies that face investigations and has a specialist sport practice which lists Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James as clients. The company recently bought Blue Rubicon - a PR firm that has worked closely with the Qatar 2022 World Cup supreme committee for a number of years. A Fifa spokesperson told the BBC: "Fifa has retained global advisory firm Teneo to work across operational and reputational priorities." Teneo declined to comment. And a third of more than 2,000 students questioned feared being unable to get to their polling station on the day. The referendum, on 23 June, is outside term time, so many students will need to re-register at their home address, says the National Union of Students. NUS vice-president Richard Brooks urged students "to think ahead". "The EU referendum is a once-in-a-generation vote," said Mr Brooks. "The decision made on the 23 June will impact young people and students the most, as they are the ones that will live with the consequences for the longest. "If students don't want their future decided for them, it is essential that as many as possible get out and vote." Mr Brooks urged students to think about where they would be on referendum day and to make sure they register or re-register at the right address. "If they are unsure about where they will be, students can register at both their term-time and home address, providing they only vote once," he said. "If they are going to be on holiday or are heading to Glastonbury, they should apply for a postal vote." People had until 17:00 on 7 June to register if they wanted to vote in the referendum, he added. It is also possible to apply for a postal or proxy vote by 17:00 on 8 June. The interviews, carried out this month on a representative sample of students from across the UK by YouthSight for Universities UK, found: Universities UK and the Association of Colleges are holding voter registration drives at institutions across the UK. Students will be advised to register, re-register or apply for proxy or postal votes, according to their circumstances. UUK chief executive Nicola Dandridge said it was of "real concern" that so many students were unaware of the referendum date and that they might have to re-register to vote at another address. "From this week, universities will be scaling up their efforts to encourage students to register to vote, and to make sure they do so in the right location," she said. "With nearly two million UK students eligible to vote in the referendum, it is vital that they have all the necessary information to make sure they can take part in this hugely important decision." Rizlaine Boular, 21, her mother Mina Dich, 43, and Khawla Barghouthi, 20, all from London, are alleged to have planned a knife attack in Westminster. The women are accused of conspiring together to murder a person or persons unknown between 11 and 28 April 2017. They were remanded in custody ahead of a preliminary hearing on 19 May. Ms Boular, from central London, is also alleged to have engaged in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism, while the other defendants are accused of assisting her. The women, who appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court, spoke to confirm their names, addresses, and dates of birth. Ms Boular and Ms Dich wore Islamic dress, including full-face veils, which were partially lifted to show their eyes at the request of chief magistrate Emma Arbuthnot. Ms Bargouthi wore Islamic dress, but her face was visible. The women were arrested following a counter-terrorism operation last month in Willesden, north-west London, in which Ms Boular was shot by police. Another seven people arrested during the investigation have been released with no further action taken. Irvine will compete for Aqua Blue Sport in 2017, along with team leader Lars Petter Nordhaug and fellow Irishmen Matt Brammeier and Conor Dunne. Irvine, 31, retired from the sport after failing to qualify for the Rio Olympics but has had a change of heart. "It took a really special offer to coax me out of retirement," said Irvine. "But the opportunity to compete at this level with an Irish backed team is something I couldn't pass up. "Very few Irish athletes get the experience to ride at this level so I feel very lucky to be getting this opportunity," added the County Down man. Brammeier is a five-time Irish champion and Dunne a former Irish trial champion. The remaining riders who will form the line-up for the 2017 season will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Aqua Blue Sport's goal is to eventually participate at a World Tour level and compete in the Tour de France, but for now sights are firmly set on the 2017 Professional Continental season which so far includes Milan-San Remo, Amstel Gold and the Tour of Britain. Media playback is not supported on this device Irvine became the first Irish cyclist to win a world track title in 117 years with victory in the scratch race in Belarus in 2013. The Northern Irishman also won a World Cup gold in Manchester in the same year. It was a rollercoaster year for Irvine, who also won silver in the points race at the World Championships and a European bronze medal in addition to sustaining a couple of injuries. A month after his Belarus triumph, Irvine suffered a leg fracture during the Tour of Taiwan road racing event later in 2013 sustained leg muscle injuries at a track event in Belgium. However, Irvine finished 2013 as number one scratch rider in the 2013 UCI world rankings and claimed a scratch silver medal in the 2014 Track Cycling World Championships. His achievements in 2013 led to him being named as the BBC Northern Ireland Sports Personality of the Year. After winning silver in the scratch race at the 2014 World Championships in Colombia, Irvine was regarded as a strong medal contender at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and improving on the team pursuit bronze that he won with Northern Ireland in Delhi in 2008. However, Irvine produced disappointing performances in Glasgow and struggled to regain form thereafter, with a number of injuries not helping. Chris Foley, from Merthyr Tydfil, died from his injuries in hospital on Friday, South Wales Police confirmed. He had been in a critical condition at University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, since the crash on the A470 northbound near Abercynon on Monday. Anyone who witnessed the collision involving a silver Ford Fiesta has been asked to contact police on 101. Media playback is not supported on this device The expanded tournament will be called the Pro14 and see the teams split into two conferences of seven made up of two Welsh, two Irish and one team each from Scotland, Italy and South Africa. The conferences have been decided based on last season's results. Cheetahs and Kings will play their home games in South Africa. They will play only Saturdays, and there will be five travel-free days before matches. The first round of matches is due to be played on the weekend of 1-3 September, with the first fixtures to be announced on 7 August. It is understood the addition of the two new teams will bring in an extra £6m a year in revenue.

"South Africa is a rugby powerhouse of over 55 million people. These teams already operate to the high standards demanded by Super Rugby and they will add to the quality of our tournament. "This is a natural evolution for the Championship... and we aim to be at the forefront of the game's growth around the world." The South African teams lost their places in the southern hemisphere Super Rugby, which is cutting from 18 teams to 15, at the end of last season. The Pro12 grew out of the Celtic League, which was formed in 2001 but has seen many changes to participants and format during its existence. Last season's tournament was won by Scarlets, who beat Munster in the play-off final in Dublin. Jurie Roux, CEO of SA Rugby, says the decision for South African team to play in a northern hemisphere tournament was groundbreaking. "This development is as exciting as the launch of Super Rugby itself back in 1996," he said. "It will not be without its challenges in aligning with a competition in a different part of the calendar and in very different playing conditions; but it is also a fantastic opportunity for South African rugby to widen our rugby horizons. "We believe the Toyota Cheetahs' and Kings' participation will be good for the competition and good for the teams." The BBC is required by electoral law to adopt a code of practice, ensuring fairness between candidates and that is particularly important on polling day. The code of practice is contained in more detailed election guidelines which are written and published for each election - and they include guidance on polling day, here. On polling day specifically, the BBC doesn't report on any of the election campaigns from 00:30 BST until polls close at 22:00 BST on TV, radio or bbc.co.uk or on social media and other channels. However, online sites do not have to remove archived reports, including, for instance, programmes on iPlayer. Coverage on the day is usually restricted to uncontroversial factual accounts, such as the appearance of politicians at polling stations, or the weather. It tends to focus on giving information which will help voters with the process of going to polling stations. Subjects which have been at issue or part of the campaign - or other controversial matters relating to the election - must not be covered on polling day itself; it's important that the BBC's output cannot be seen to be influencing the ballot while the polls are open. No opinion poll on any issue relating to politics or the election can be published until after the polls have closed. Whilst the polls are open, it is a criminal offence to publish anything about the way in which people have voted in that election. From 22:00 BST normal reporting of the general election resumes, with rolling online BBC coverage overnight, Election 2017 on BBC One with David Dimbleby, Vote 2017 with Carolyn Quinn and James Naughtie on BBC Radio 4 and an election night special on Radio 5live broadcast from London and Salford. Joshua, 14, and collie cross German shepherd Biscuit, three, were the overall winners in the Scruffts award for crossbreeds at the event. More than 1,400 people entered Scruffts regional heats around the UK in 2016, with Joshua triumphing in the good citizen dog scheme category. In the final at Crufts at Birmingham's NEC, he won the overall Scruffts title. This involved beating winners of five other categories such as most handsome dog, golden oldie, best rescue and child's best friend. "I'm very happy with the way Biscuit performed and I hope I did everything right." said Joshua, from Prestatyn. "He's lovely with humans and loves everybody. He likes other dogs and think everyone wants so be his best mate." The Dakota, from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, performed at the event held in tribute to the five men who died, near Ilkeston, on 12 July 1942. The crew's W5795 was on a secret experimental flight when it came down on a field in Stanley, Derbyshire. A service, attended by relatives, was followed by a 1942-themed parade. The men were flying at 35,000 feet to see whether it was possible to fly over the top of German fighters. But, a propeller on the bomber sheared off and tore through the pressurised cabin causing the fatal air crash. Hillary Eddleston, whose father Mr Radford was the rear gunner on the bomber, was amongst the dozens of people at the service at St Andrews Church. She said: "It has brought closure to us as a family because the bomber crashed when my mother was only six week pregnant with me, so I never knew my father." Ms Eddleston added it was "really lovely" that her children and grandchildren were at the even to mark the 75th anniversary. Mr Radfords's great-granddaughter Rosin Eddleston-McGrath said: "All the men died in the war so we can have our future and have peace, so it's really special to be here." Ex-serviceman Terry Hall, one of the organisers, said he and church warden Bernard Walters, who witnessed the crash as a boy, commissioned a memorial to honour the five men. Photographs taken by University of Aberdeen scientists chart a dolphin's recovery from horrific looking sunburn injuries. The bottlenose dolphin known as Spirtle was stranded out of the water on mudflats for 24 hours last May in the Cromarty Firth. She was spotted by chance by a couple who had got lost trying to drive to a dolphin-watching spot at the Moray Firth. Rescuers refloated the dolphin but did think she would survive. The University of Aberdeen has been monitoring Spirtle's recovery from its Lighthouse Field Station at Cromarty. Scientists and conservationists hope Spirtle might eventually breed and raise young. She is part of a group of dolphins that include her mother Porridge, and are usually found in the Moray Firth. Whale and Dolphin Conservation field officer and wildlife photographer Charlie Phillips has also been helping to document Spirtle's recovery. England paceman Stuart Broad took 2-40 and Luke Fletcher 3-60. Aneurin Donald's 53 was the home side's top score in a disappointing display. Earlier, Notts batted through the showers until mid-afternoon thanks to Chris Read (88) and Brett Hutton (61), who put on 97 for the seventh wicket. Read, who batted with a runner and did not keep wicket because of a bruised hip, was caught on the square leg boundary when in sight of becoming the visitors' third centurion. The last four wickets went for 21, Timm van der Gugten claiming a five-wicket haul on his Championship comeback when he bowled last man Harry Gurney. But the visitors reduced Glamorgan to 51-4 as their seamers struck either side of tea, aided by Chetashwar Pujara's run-out of Will Bragg. Donald and David Lloyd (34) added 72 before Broad grabbed two quick wickets in his second spell, and Donald's dismissal to a brilliant leaping boundary catch by sub Luke Wood off Fletcher signalled the end of the specialist batting. Nottinghamshire lead by 261 on first innings and are likely to enforce the follow-on on day three. Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores told BBC Radio Nottingham: "Chris Read bottom-edged one onto his hip, it's swollen up, it's sore and it's making him immobile so he'll ice it up overnight, but it's doubtful he'll keep (on day three). "It was a really good score on the pitch, a lot of the damage was done by Chris and Riki Wessels in the last session (on Friday), then Brett Hutton played well - it was nice to get a very competitive score. "Everybody chipped in with the ball, we bowled some really good balls and took some great catches. The fielding was one of the stars today and it's been significant for us." Glamorgan batsman Aneurin Donald told BBC Wales Sport: "I felt pretty good out there, I applied myself getting in but it is pretty criminal to get out the way I did and when I did. "If you did graft your way through the first 20 to 30 balls it did open up a bit, they did that very well and to be fair they took all their chances again today. "It is a tough day for the team, we really stuffed it up with the bat. It is difficult to take and we are going to come back and really show a bit of fight."

Clayton Donaldson put Blues in front when he tapped in after Anders Lindegaard saved Diego Fabbrini's shot. Birmingham doubled their lead through Donaldson's close-range finish after David Cotterill's shot was saved. Alan Browne fired home Tom Clarke's cross to give North End hope before Greg Cunningham fired in an equaliser. Birmingham, who had lost all their three previous games at St Andrew's 2-1, remain in ninth place - but now cannot reach the play-offs. Preston North End stay a place below Blues in 10th as they recorded their 16th draw in the Championship this season. Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett told BBC WM: Media playback is not supported on this device "I have told the players that the last 15 minutes was one of the weakest I've seen in a game. "It probably sums up our season since March. We need to be tougher, more professional and more disciplined. "We can have a shake-up because, if that is the level of performance that people are happy with as a top-10 side, I am certainly not happy. "I will make sure that I will not have players in the team who are happy with that kind of performance." Preston manager Simon Grayson: "We showed fantastic character to get back in the game and it was the right result when you see the number of saves Tomasz Kuszczak had to make and the times we hit the post. "We want to maintain where we are in the league and not drop out of the top-10 position where we are at present. "We are now looking to a good home game against Burnley when I hope that we can get all three points." The men, aged 35, 33 and 30, were held in the Rotherham area on suspicion of rape, indecent assault and false imprisonment of two girls under 16. The offences are alleged to have taken place between 1999 and 2001. The men have been bailed. South Yorkshire Police has arrested 11 men in the inquiry since November 2014. Fosun bought Wolverhampton Wanderers football club last year, while HNA is Deutsche Bank's biggest shareholder. Reports said the banking regulator had also told lenders to investigate loans to Anbang Insurance, Odeon UK cinema owner Dalian Wanda and Zhejiang Luosen. All five are big overseas investors. The conglomerates' other high profile acquisitions include Zhejiang Luosen buying AC Milan football club earlier this year. HNA also owns airport services firm Swissport and airline caterer Gate Gourmet, and it has a 25% share in Hilton. Anbang owns New York's Waldorf Astoria hotel. Dalian Wanda's film division is the world's biggest cinema operator, and also owns the UCI chains in the UK. Trading in Wanda Film Holding's shares was suspended after they fell by nearly 10% in Thursday trading. The company subsequently denied as "malicious speculation" rumours that some banks were offloading the company's bonds. It said the shares would resume trading on Friday. The China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) had told lenders to conduct internal assessments of their credit-risk exposure to acquisitive companies, according to business magazine Caixin, quoting sources. The CBRC has been attempting to stem the flow of money leaving China. Last year China's companies invested $225bn (£178bn) overseas. The outflow has put pressure on the currency, the renminbi, and drained foreign exchange reserves. Media playback is not supported on this device Carrick, hammered 4-0 by the Crues three days earlier, were amazingly 3-0 up at half-time after goals by Daniel Kelly, Adam Salley and Aaron Harmon. Crusaders replied through Michael Carvill, Paul Heatley and an Aaron Smyth own goal but sub Ben Roy's 87th minute finish sealed the surprise win. Josh Robinson of Crusaders and Carrick boss Gary Haveron got late red cards. Crusaders remain five points ahead of second-placed Linfield. Defender Robinson received the red card for a crunching touchline challenge on home striker Roy. It sparked ugly scenes as players and management clashed on the side of the pitch. Rangers manager Haveron was sent to the stand for his part in the unseemly scuffle. However, the Carrick boss will have been pleased with his side as they move above Ballinamallard and into 10th place in the relegation battle. They had lost their last 13 matches against the Crues, but raced into an early lead thanks to a curling Kelly effort. Salley doubled their advantage on 29 minutes when he rifled the ball past keeper Sean O'Neill. It was the youngster's second goal since joining Rangers on loan from Linfield in January. Salley then turned provider for Carrick's third, beating Colin Coates before teeing up Harmon for a simple finish before the break. Crusaders hit back with Carvill pouncing early in the second half and, when Heatley pounced on a poor kick-out by keeper Brian Neeson to make it 3-2, the comeback looked on. But Roy, just on as a replacement, raced through to put Carrick 4-2 up. Robinson's red card and the subsequent touchline brawl soured things and the own goal came too late to save Crusaders. New genetic tests reveal Warren Harding fathered a child with Nan Britton during his presidency. The tests show that Harding, who was married, was indeed the father of Elizabeth Ann Blaesing, the late Britton's daughter. Harding's immediate family and the public had rejected the claims and shamed Britton, calling her a liar. Dr Peter Harding, one of the former president's grand-nephews who spearheaded getting the DNA tests done, told the BBC he is "totally jubilant" to finally know the truth about Blaesing's father. "This has been a family mystery since I became aware of it," Mr Harding said. "There was no way to really resolve it. Back in the 1920s, there was only whether someone looked like someone else." He thinks advanced DNA testing was definitely conclusive. Mr Harding and his cousin Abigail Harding pursued the tests with James Blaesing, a grandson of Britton. Ancestry.com, which provided the test with their AncestryDNA service, confirmed the results were true to the BBC. "The family connection is definitive," said Stephen Baloglu, an executive at the company. "It's truly amazing to imagine the power DNA can have in tracing one's family story and in this case rewriting history." Blaesing died in 2005. Her mother wrote a book, The President's Daughter, in 1927, in an attempt to make money and prove Harding's paternity after his death at 57 as he had left no financial arrangement for their daughter. "It is totally wonderful to vindicate her. She published her book when women just got the vote and people weren't believing women over powerful men," Mr Harding said. "Look how she survived this thing." Britton was "vilified by everybody" for claiming President Harding's paternity, including by members of Mr Harding's family, he said, and he is "glad to reverse all that". The scandal rocked the 1920s, also known as the "Roaring Twenties" - the president was married and much older than Britton. "This is a wonderful feminist story, a woman who stuck to her guns and triumphed over 88 years," said Mr Harding. In the past, the Blaesing family did not want to submit to DNA tests, thinking it insulting to their late matriarch. Mr Harding hopes to meet more members of the Blaesing family soon and may see them at a family reunion. "There's a whole lot of children and great-grandchildren of President Harding we've never met. There was something wrong in my whole family mystery I wanted to fix - it left a whole other family out in the cold which was intolerable to me." The Japanese firm says the technology works by playing a sound and then checking how it resonates in the wearer's ear canal. This provides a biometric check that serves as an alternative to a fingerprint sensor or eye scanner. NEC said it intended to make products using the facility available before the end of 2018. One expert praised the innovation for offering a fresh alternative to passcodes - which can be spied on and stolen - but warned that the innovation could be turned against its user. NEC said its earbuds could be used to complete an ID test in about one second. The earphones need to be fitted with a microphone, it explained, in order to record the waveforms generated by a short burst of audio noise as it was reflected around the eardrum. Since the shape and size of each person's ears are unique, the firm said, the resulting data could be used to distinguish an individual. "It enables a natural way of conducting continuous authentication, even during movement and while performing work, simply by wearing an earphone with a built-in microphone to listen to the sounds within ears," said NEC manager Shigeki Yamagata. The firm added that it believed its technique would act as a reliable check more than 99% of the time. The German security firm SRLabs was among the first to demonstrate that fingerprint sensors can be spoofed, and the organisation has long warned that the danger with using any biometric marker is that once an identifier has been copied you cannot reset it like a password. The problem was recently highlighted when it emerged a US government database containing millions of people's fingerprint records had been hacked. One of SRLabs' researchers also highlighted another problem: it is potentially easier for the authorities to force someone to comply with a fingerprint or ear canal check than it is to make them reveal their password. "I bet the FBI is regretting the fact that [San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook] hadn't been using an iPhone with a fingerprint sensor as they could have forced his dead body to have unlocked the handset for them rather than trying to make the courts get Apple to help," said Ben Schlabs. Technology consultant Ben Wood suggested earbud-based checks might also prove less convenient than using sensors built into a mobile phone. "People always have their handsets with them - that's not the case for their earphones," he said. "But they do make sense as a way to provide authentication if you are already on a call while using them." He added that the two techniques could also be combined. "Two-factor authentication is becoming a bigger deal as we move away from traditional passwords, so using both a fingerprint and an earprint, if that's what it's called, could be useful to those who want a higher level of security." The Swardeston-born nurse helped more than 200 allied soldiers to escape from German-occupied Belgium before being shot by firing squad in 1915. The Cavell Nurses' Trust was set up two years later. Today the charity supports retired and working nurses and midwives who have fallen on hard times. During 2012 the number of requests for help doubled, and by the the 100th anniversary of Edith Cavell's death in 2015 the trust wants to double the number of beneficiaries from 1,000 to 2,000. When Edith Cavell was killed in Brussels in 1915 she left behind her beloved dog Jack, writes BBC Radio Norfolk's Clare Worden. He was cared for by the De Croy family who were Belgian aristocrats and part of the Cavell network who helped smuggle injured allied soldiers out of the country. After his death in 1923 he was stuffed and given to the Norfolk Branch of the Red Cross. In the 1970s they were contacted by a retired nurse who'd worked with Ms Cavell and remembered her faithful dog. She asked to look after Jack at her Norfolk home. In 1975 the Imperial War Museum London became aware of Jack and it was agreed that he would be given to them to display. He's been on show for the past 37 years and will be a key exhibit in the museum's new First World War Gallery in London due to open in spring 2014. BBC Radio Norfolk: Edith Cavell special Helen Wade, from Norwich, is one of 22 nurses from Norfolk that been helped by the trust in the last year. She had to give up nursing after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and the charity was able to provide her with a specialised wheelchair. She said: "The team demonstrated a great deal of compassion for my situation; it meant a lot to me that my commitment to nursing has been rewarded and acknowledged by the support and care that Cavell Nurses' Trust have given. "It is nice that I am able to receive good care myself when I need it after giving years of care to others during my nursing career." Edith Cavell's remains were brought back to Britain after the war, and she had a memorial service in Westminster Abbey on 15 May 1919. A photograph of her coffin outside the Abbey was taken by Australian soldier Arthur Menzies, whose family has donated the picture to the Cavell Memorabilia Collection. Her coffin was then taken back to Norwich and her remains interred in Norwich Cathedral. Nick Miller, keeper of the Cavell memorabilia, said: "Her coffin was taken through packed silent streets to Liverpool Street and thence by train to Norwich with people lining the track all the way up. "People who were schoolchildren at the time remember being taken to see the train go by. "Her remains were interred at the east end of Norwich Cathedral in keeping with her family's wishes." East Anglian Film Archive has film of the procession of Cavell's coffin through the streets of Norwich. On Sunday 6 January at 13:00 GMT BBC Radio Norfolk tells the story of First World War nurse Edith Cavell. Customers on the company's standard dual fuel tariff will see their bills rise by an average of £32 a year, making the supplier one of the most expensive on the market. However, those on pre-payment meters will see tariffs rise by 6%. This reverses the trend of falling fuel bills, with most suppliers cutting gas prices by at least 5% in the spring. Since then, the wholesale price of gas and electricity has been rising, partly as a result of the fall in the value of sterling, following the EU referendum result. "This is a worrying warning bell that the wholesale price honeymoon may be drawing to a close," said Claire Osborne, energy expert at price comparison site Uswitch. "Wholesale prices are now climbing at the fastest rate in years, driven by upward pressure on the cost of energy imports from the falling value of sterling following the EU referendum, future supply concerns and higher transmission costs." There was now a danger that other suppliers could follow suit, she said. Co-operative Energy customers on pre-payment meters will be worst hit by the increases. On average they will pay £69 more a year, if they are on a dual-fuel tariff. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) recently announced a price cap on such tariffs, as such customers typically pay far more for their power than everybody else. However, the cap will not come into operation until April 2017. It is anticipated that the cap, when it is set, will save pre-payment meter customers £75 a year. "In recent months, we have absorbed a 19% increase in environmental and social obligations costs as well as an increase in electricity and gas wholesale prices," said a spokesperson for Co-operative Energy. "Unfortunately, this is no longer sustainable, and we have reluctantly taken the decision to pass on a small percentage of these costs to our customers by increasing our charges by an average of 3% from 1st October 2016."

According to The Sunday Times newspaper, the London Marathon was won seven times in 12 years by athletes who have recorded suspicious blood scores. There's no suggestion that Jo has ever done anything wrong, but she's joined eight other British athletes in releasing their test results to show they have nothing to hide. On Friday the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) announced that it would launch an "urgent" investigation into doping allegations. How are athletes tested for drugs? He is assuming that if the UK votes to leave the EU but Scottish voters declare they want to stay in, then we could see the SNP calling, and winning, a second referendum on Scottish independence. It is true that Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said that in those circumstances a second referendum on independence is a real possibility. She even put that in her most recent manifesto. But she has never said it's a certainty. And that's because she doesn't want to commit to holding a referendum she might not win. If Scotland votes one way on 23 June and the rest of UK votes another way - if as Sturgeon puts it "Scotland is dragged out of the EU against its wishes" that will undoubtedly provoke fury among many Scottish voters. Nationalist politicians will claim that Scotland is once again being dictated to by England. And there are many eager campaigners in Scotland who desperately want the chance to vote again on the independence question as soon as possible. But the SNP leadership are not so eager to rush into another referendum. Many senior figures in the party warn that Brexit will throw up some additional issues they don't yet have answers for. If an independent Scotland was an EU member but the UK was not, would we need a physical border between Scotland and England? What currency would an independent Scotland use? It could hardly claim it would share sterling with the rest of the UK if one country were inside the EU and the other was not. What would happen to the trading relationship between Scotland and its biggest economic partner - UK - if only one of those countries was a member of the EU? And while it's not directly related to the EU, the currently low price of oil does significant harm to the economic arguments in favour of Scotland going it alone. Polls are not currently showing a majority of Scots saying they would vote for independence - even when they are asked to imagine a post-Brexit scenario. The hard fact is that the SNP will not call another referendum until they are certain they can win it. Because they know if they lose again they really will not be able to ask the question again for at least a generation. Ideally, the SNP will wait until polls suggest 60% of Scottish voters will vote "Yes" and they want to see that majority sustained for at least six months before they dare call another vote. Most of the senior politicians I have spoken to do not believe Brexit alone will necessarily produce that kind of majority. Of course it is foolish to try to predict the future in politics - and even harder when trying to imagine how voters will respond to emotional issues such as national sovereignty and identity. Maybe the idea of Scotland's wishes being overridden by the votes of the rest of the UK could produce a remarkable turnaround in popular sentiment toward independence. If it does, the SNP will surely pounce on the opportunity to call another vote - something the prime minister has previously said he would resist. And legally, it is up to Westminster to decide whether or not to allow another referendum. But after the apparent certainty among Remain campaigners that Brexit will provoke Indyref2 it will be pretty hard for the Westminster government to deny Scotland the chance to vote again.

Media playback is not supported on this device Ex-commissioner Lord Blair said lives were "ruined by unproven claims". The idea was backed by former Army boss Lord Bramall, who was investigated over allegations of a VIP paedophile ring before his case was dropped. But, rape campaigners said the focus should be "helping survivors, rather than helping alleged perpetrators." Lord Blair - who ran the Met between 2005 and 2008 - argued changes to the prosecutors' code are needed to ensure suspects who are not charged are not "tarnished". When investigators decide not to charge a suspect they should say there is "no corroborative evidence" rather than "insufficient evidence", he said. "Whether you're a public or a private figure, to have all your friends and family know you've been accused of this crime - you've always got the 'no smoke without fire' argument. "The phrase 'there is insufficient evidence' at the present time to have a safe prosecution leaves anybody listening to that with a view that 'well, if they get some more evidence they will charge him'." Lord Bramall, 92, said he "entirely agreed" with Lord Blair, adding: "I think in my case everyone knows I have been cleared but a lot of people may feel to some extent it's still hanging over them." But Yvonne Traynor, chief executive of South London Rape Crisis, said: "Just because some well-known people who maybe have a bit of influence have been embarrassed, I don't think we should be changing the whole system which has until now been working. "If anything we ought to be helping survivors, rather than helping alleged perpetrators." Lord Blair said the new approach could be extended to other cases, including where bankers were accused of fraud, where the nature of unsubstantiated complaints can leave someone's life "in ruins". The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said there were no plans to change its procedures. A spokeswoman said: "The CPS's function is not to decide whether a person is guilty of a criminal offence, but to make fair, independent and objective assessments about whether it is appropriate to present charges for the criminal court to consider." The Met would not comment on Lord Blair's suggestion. Last month the current commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, told MPs he did not think police should go further than saying there is "insufficient evidence". The missile-armed USS Michigan is set to join an incoming group of warships led by aircraft carrier Carl Vinson. North Korea is celebrating its army's 85th founding anniversary on Tuesday. It marked the event with a large-scale firing drill, South Korea said. Tensions have risen in the area in recent weeks, with the US and North Korea exchanging heated rhetoric. Experts fear Pyongyang could be planning more tests - it has marked some key anniversaries in the past with nuclear tests or missile launches. However, South Korea's defence ministry said "no unusual development had been detected". Instead, the North conducted a large live-fire drill around the city of Wonsan, South Korea said. "Our military is closely monitoring the North Korean military's movement," the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said. North Korea conducted a failed ballistic missile test on 16 April, prompting US Vice-President Mike Pence to warn it not to "test" President Donald Trump. In an unusual move, the entire US Senate has been asked to attend a briefing on North Korea on Wednesday at the White House. The USS Michigan docked at South Korea's Busan port on Tuesday, in what it called a routine visit. It is a nuclear-powered submarine carrying 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles and 60 special operations troops and mini-subs, reported the South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo. Analysis: Stephen Evans, BBC News, Seoul The North Korean crisis is moving on many fronts. The US submarine docking in South Korea is a routine event - but in this time of heightened tension it has extra significance Pyongyang remains defiant, including of China, warning that if it helped the US, the results would be "catastrophic". Envoys from South Korea, the US and Japan are discussing North Korea in Tokyo. What this all adds up to depends on whether President Trump has rejected the advice given to his predecessors that attacking North Korea could provoke an attack on Seoul, with one expert saying there could be tens of thousands of deaths on the first day. It may be that President Trump has decided that the cost of North Korea eventually getting nuclear weapons that could strike the US means that the risk of war has to be taken. We simply do not know. The submarine is expected to take part in military exercises with the Carl Vinson warship group, which the US said it was dispatching to North Korea earlier this month to "maintain readiness" in the region. At the time, Mr Trump said that he was sending an "armada" to the region and that the US had submarines which were "very powerful, far more powerful than the aircraft carrier". Pyongyang reacted angrily to the aircraft carrier deployment, threatening to sink it and launch a "super-mighty pre-emptive strike" against what it called US aggression. However, the US warships caused some confusion and attracted mockery when it emerged that they actually sailed in the opposite direction, away from North Korea, after the announcement. However, US Navy officials said they are now proceeding to the region as ordered. China is North Korea's only ally and main trading partner - and the US has been urging Beijing to help put pressure on Pyongyang. Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke to Mr Trump on Monday, urging all sides to "maintain restraint and avoid actions that would increase tensions". Australia's vast Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre has been captured in a series of spectacular aerial images for a new exhibition. The body of India Chipchase, 20, was found at a man's house in Northampton the next day on 31 January. Book-keeper Edward Tenniswood, 51, from Stanley Road, in the town, is due to go on trial in July for her murder. Northamptonshire senior coroner Anne Pember told the brief hearing in Kettering Ms Chipchase's body was identified by her uncle. Her body was identified at Leicester Infirmary by Tony Risdale, the inquest heard. Ms Chipchase's body was released to her relatives earlier this week. Her family did not attend the hearing, which was also told a post-mortem examination concluded she died as a result of pressure to the neck. The inquest has been adjourned until 17 August. Ms Chipchase was last seen by friends on Bridge Street in the early hours of Saturday 30 January and was reported missing after failing to turn up for work at The Collingtree pub and restaurant. Mr Tenniswood's trial is expected to start on 18 July. Earlier this month, Northamptonshire Police referred itself to the Independent Police Complaints Commission over its "responses before and during" the search. Rio 2016 Olympian Beth Potter, 25, booked her place by winning the Night of 10,000m PBs event in Hampstead in a time of 32 minutes four seconds. Pavey, 43, who needed to claim a top-two finish, clocked 32:43. Andy Vernon won the men's event with a time of 28:21 but fell short of the 27:45 required to reach the Worlds. Vernon, a 10,000m silver medallist at the 2014 European Championships, could afford to high-five spectators during the final lap as the 31-year-old finished 11 seconds ahead of Dewi Griffiths in second. The top two in the men's and women's trial events could secure their spot on the GB team provided they have also achieved the qualification time, with a deadline of 9 July to reach the standard. Women's runner-up Steph Twell, 27, agonisingly missed out on the required mark of 32:15 with a time of 32:16.23 on her 10,000m track debut. Pavey, who finished behind third-placed Katrina Wootton, decided to concentrate on track racing after failing to finish the London Marathon last month. Her best effort at the World Championships was bronze in the 2007 event, although she only inherited the medal earlier this year after Turkey's Elvan Abeylegesse was retrospectively disqualified for a doping offence. Get Inspired: How does busy mum Jo Pavey train? Tamboran Resources intends to drill an exploratory borehole near Belcoo next month to collect rock samples. Since Monday, protesters against the controversial fracking technique have held a vigil at the site entrance. Police say they have plans in place to deal with any protests. The quarry is owned by Acheson and Glover and Tamboran has taken out a four-month lease to carry out exploratory drilling work. The court order prohibits people from entering or occupying land at Gandrum Road, or preventing Tamboran from carrying out exploratory mining operations and obstructing access to and from the site. Tamboran said that after they moved equipment into the quarry, a number of individuals sought to gain unlawful access to the site. "In order to protect the safety of local people, site security and protesters we have sought and secured an order for an injunction to deter anyone from seeking unlawful access," the company said. "Tamboran respects people's right to protest and we welcome calls from local people to ensure that the protests are peaceful. "It is important to stress that the company is undertaking work it is required to do under the terms of the licence from government and intends to meet its obligations in full." "The company also believes the people of Fermanagh and Northern Ireland have a right to know if the gas is present. "We suggest that given the potential benefit this can bring to everyone in terms of investment, jobs and critically energy security that this deserves serious consideration and debate. "This is a straight-forward drilling operation, it is not fracking. We would ask that people approach with an open mind and willingness to listen to all the facts before making an informed decision. "People have a right to the facts and that is what we are seeking to establish with this project." In an affidavit presented to the High Court in Belfast, Karl Prenderville, commercial director of Tamboran Resources (UK), said they expected substantial opposition to their operations and that anonymous threats had been received. He said during a protest involving 300 people at the site on Monday, four security staff were assaulted and damage caused to the perimeter fence. He said the company had no wish to stifle legitimate and peaceful protest and had no difficulty with people who wish to protest on public land, where this did not interfere with access to, or exploratory operations on the site, or cause injury to people or damage property. Protesters have set up what they have called the Belcoo Community Protection Camp outside the entrance to the quarry and said they want their protest to be peaceful. The site is protected by metal fences and razor wire, and is guarded by a private security company. Last summer, the village of Balcombe in West Sussex was the scene of large anti-fracking demonstrations, with more than 1,000 people setting up camp at the height of the protests. The PSNI said earlier this week that as part of their plans, they have looked at similar policing operations. "The role of the police is to facilitate lawful activity by Tamboran and their agents, facilitate peaceful protest and minimise the potential for disorder," a spokeswoman said. The system, which has been trained on thousands of hours of BBC News programmes, has been developed in collaboration with Google's DeepMind AI division. "Watch, Attend and Spell", as the system has been called, can now watch silent speech and get about 50% of the words correct. That may not sound too impressive - but when the researchers supplied the same clips to professional lip-readers, they got only 12% of words right. Joon Son Chung, a doctoral student at Oxford University's Department of Engineering, explained to me just how challenging a task this is. "Words like mat, bat and pat all have similar mouth shapes." It's context that helps his system - or indeed a professional lip reader - to understand what word is being spoken. "What the system does," explains Joon, "is to learn things that come together, in this case the mouth shapes and the characters and what the likely upcoming characters are." The BBC supplied the Oxford researchers with clips from Breakfast, Newsnight, Question Time and other BBC news programmes, with subtitles aligned with the lip movements of the speakers. Then a neural network combining state-of-the-art image and speech recognition set to work to learn how to lip-read. After examining 118,000 sentences in the clips, the system now has 17,500 words stored in its vocabulary. Because it has been trained on the language of news, it is now quite good at understanding that "Prime" will often be followed by "Minister" and "European" by "Union", but much less adept at recognising words not spoken by newsreaders. A lot more work needs to be done before the system is put to practical use, but the charity Action on Hearing Loss is enthusiastic about this latest advance. "AI lip-reading technology would be able to enhance the accuracy and speed of speech to text," says Jesal Vishnuram, the charity's technology research manager. "This would help people with subtitles on TV, and with hearing in noisy surroundings." Right now the system has limitations - it can only operate on full sentences of recorded video. "We want to get it to work in real time," says Joon Son Chung. "As it keeps watching TV, it will learn." And he says getting the system to work live is a lesser challenge than improving its accuracy. He sees all sorts of potential uses for this technology, from helping people to dictate instructions to their smartphones in noisy environments, to dubbing old silent films. In many cases, the AI lip-reading system could be used to improve the performance of other forms of speech recognition. Where the Oxford researchers and the hearing loss charity agree, is on the fact that this is not a case where AI is going to replace humans. Professional lip-readers need not fear for their jobs - but they can look forward to a time when technology helps them become a lot more accurate. Ragnar Klavan gave the visitors the lead, slotting in his first Reds goal from a Philippe Coutinho corner. Coutinho got the second after a one-two with Roberto Firmino, before setting up Divock Origi to lash in a third. Derby offered little throughout, producing only two shots to test keeper Loris Karius on his Liverpool debut. This was the fourth match the Reds have scored three goals or more this season - and they have netted 19 times in seven games overall. Even seven changes from Friday's 2-1 Premier League win at Chelsea did not halt their momentum. One of those players to come in - Estonia defender Klavan - became the club's 10th different goalscorer this season. In contrast, Derby - struggling in 20th position in the English second tier - have now failed to score in seven of their 11 matches in all competitions this campaign. Derby manager Nigel Pearson: "I would be first to accept there is a gulf in class tonight, and where we are and where we aspire to be is a considerable difference. "For us to progress as a club we need to build a squad which can compete anywhere. "All of the goals had an element of we could have done better, so that is frustrating. Mistakes cost you dearly against sides like this. After that it is damage limitation to make sure it is not an embarrassment." Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "We were better tonight and we deserved to win, we created plenty of chances. Could we have done better? Yes, but is that important? No. "You need to be 100% professional in games like this, which could be difficult, but we were ready for every opportunity. "We could've been better in the first half with the last pass and in the second with our counter attack but we will take 3-0 all day. "This is a very important tournament for us, for the players, and we have to show it from the first second. Let's go for it." Match ends, Derby County 0, Liverpool 3.

The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman investigated 158 complaints against the Home Office and agencies last year, and upheld 69% of them. That is more than double the average for the public sector. In one case, a teenage refugee had to wait nearly 10 years before he was allowed to stay. The Home Office said it would consider the report's findings. According to the report, the main problem the watchdog identified with the Home Office concerned immigration casework, where procedural errors, delays and poor decisions meant people had to endure "prolonged uncertainty". In the case of the 17-year-old asylum seeker, he spent almost a decade without legal status in the UK even though his mother, who had fled her home country, had been allowed to stay permanently. The report said the young man was in "administrative limbo" because officials continually overlooked his application. He has since received an apology and £7,500 in compensation. Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman Julie Mellor said: "We have seen far too many cases where people have been separated from their loved ones, unable to work and where their children have been denied access to education. "It is the responsibility of every board of every UK government department and agency to recognise the profound impact poor services can have on people's lives and make sure they learn from complaints to improve services for all." Complaints about the NHS form the bulk of the ombudsman's work but it completed 885 investigations into 981 complaints about UK government departments, their agencies and some UK public organisations in 2014-15. Four government departments accounted for 85% of the investigations - the Ministry of Justice, Department for Work and Pensions, Home Office and HM Revenue and Customs. Overall the ombudsman upheld 33% of the complaints investigated. "The large proportion of complaints that we upheld about the Home Office can partly be explained by the high volume of old legacy immigration cases they are dealing with," the report said. The 22 tube assemblies will require 150 workers at Rosyth in Fife and Bristol. The contract is part of the common missile compartment (CMC) project for the UK Successor and US Ohio Class replacement submarine programmes. The work will get under way towards the end of this year. It is expected to complete in the early 2020s. The contract was awarded to Babcock by US defence contractor General Dynamics Electric Boat. Successor-class submarines are due to replace the current Vanguard fleet, which carry Trident missiles. The contract announcement was made by the UK government as the SNP conference re-affirmed its opposition to nuclear weapons. UK Defence Minister Harriett Baldwin said: "I am delighted that Babcock have secured this critically-important project. "This contract is a strong endorsement of our highly-skilled and globally-competitive defence industry and will secure hundreds of jobs in Rosyth. "With Faslane set to be home of all the Royal Navy's submarines by 2020, this is further evidence of the benefits that defence brings to the economy and to Scotland." Officers interviewed Dundee West MP Chris Law after detaining him in the city on Wednesday. They are understood to be investigating Mr Law's Spirit of Independence referendum campaign, which he ran ahead of the 2014 vote. A source close to Mr Law said he was confident the matter would be resolved and that the MP has not been charged with any offence. The source told BBC Scotland: "Chris attended the police station on Wednesday morning and provided information in relation to a matter under investigation. He has agreed to provide the police with further information". First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told reporters at Holyrood that Mr Law would not be resigning the SNP whip over the issue, saying the MP was "confident he can resolve this matter". A spokesman for Police Scotland said: "A 46-year-old man was detained and has been released pending further inquiries. Investigations are continuing." The Spirit of Independence campaign saw Mr Law tour Scotland in a 1950s Green Goddess fire engine that had been painted in the colours of the saltire. Earlier this week, Glasgow East MP Natalie McGarry, who was elected as an SNP MP in May 2015, was charged in connection with allegations including embezzlement of funds, breach of trust and an offence under the Scottish Independence Referendum Act 2013. Prosecutors said they had now received a report from police into fraud allegations involving the MP. A Crown Office spokesman said: "The procurator fiscal has received a report concerning a 35-year-old female, in connection with alleged incidents said to have occurred between 26 March 2013 and 15 August 2016. "The report is currently under consideration by the procurator fiscal." Ms McGarry withdrew from the SNP whip when the allegations were made and has been sitting as an independent MP. Edinburgh West MP Michelle Thomson also withdrew from the SNP whip because of a police investigation into property deals by a solicitor struck off for misconduct, which are said to have involved her and the firm she was a partner at before she was elected to the House of Commons. The SNP is said to be giving "serious consideration" to a request to reinstate Ms Thomson. The police investigation into the solicitor's affairs is ongoing but party members believe Ms Thomson has been "denied natural justice" and that "her current situation has gone on for too long". The matter was referenced at Ms Sturgeon's weekly question session at Holyrood, with Tory MSP Murdo Fraser managing to raise it during a question about police budgets. He asked: "Given the number of the first minister's Westminster colleagues now helping the police with their inquiries, is the first minister confident that Police Scotland has the resources to deal with this upsurge in their workload?" Ms Sturgeon replied that she had committed to real-terms protection of the police budget. Only last month, Sputnik - the new name for the Kremlin-sponsored Voice of Russia - announced that it was launching a news website in Czech, with the declared aim of offering Czech readers "alternative views" on international issues. But many Czechs over the age of 40 still have painful memories of the period between 1948 and 1989, when their country was locked into the Soviet bloc. The brutal crushing of the 1968 Prague Spring by Soviet troops was a deeply traumatic experience for many Czechs and Moscow faces a stiff challenge in putting forward its viewpoint. The bulk of the Kremlin's propaganda effort is directed at the Baltic states, where there are sizeable Russian-speaking minorities and the message is delivered in Russian. But the Russian government apparently also believes that there are political fissures worth exploiting in the Czech Republic, which joined Nato in 1999 and the European Union in 2004. Sputnik quoted Igor Nikolaychuk of the Russian Institute of Strategic Studies as saying that the Czech Republic was "a divided country" and that there were separate tendencies pulling it in opposite directions, towards the Germanic and Slavonic worlds. Czech President Milos Zeman has questioned the wisdom of EU sanctions on Russia in response to its intervention in Ukraine and is one of very few European leaders set to travel to Moscow in May for 70th anniversary celebrations marking the end of World War Two. Several mainstream Czech and Slovak media outlets have recently published lists of pro-Russian sites, which now run to several dozen. The combination of these sites' very professional appearance and their opaque ownership structure raises questions over how they are financed. Czech journalist Vladimir Sevela, who investigated one such site, AENews, for independent news website Echo24, notes that contributions are anonymous and says that their tone recalls news reports put out by the occupying Soviet forces in 1968. However, unlike the old Soviet reports, Mr Sevela adds, contributions to AENews are written "in impeccable Czech". Any media outlet with a tone reminiscent of Soviet propaganda is likely to alarm Czechs who remember the period. Despite this, both Sputnik and the other pro-Russian sites push the argument that the Ukrainian government is a fascist regime and that the primary aim of the United States is world domination. The websites first began to appear after proposals were mooted for a greater Nato presence in eastern Europe. The recent transit of a Nato convoy through the Czech Republic became a focus for their criticism. The convoy crossed the Polish-Czech border on 29 March and arrived at its destination in Germany on 1 April. Anti-Nato activists called for protests against the convoy, and a recent AENews piece claimed that mainstream Czech media had been doing its utmost to "intimidate" anyone who might be thinking of taking part in such protests. Earlier this month Sputnik's Czech site carried an article about the Nato convoy in which it quoted the words of Petr Hajek, who used to be an adviser to former Czech President Vaclav Klaus, also seen as sympathetic to the Russian cause. Mr Hajek is known for having highly controversial views, and his "counter-revolutionary" blog ProtiProud (CounterCurrent) is one of the few Czech media outlets to carry signed articles with a stridently pro-Russian, anti-EU and anti-American stance. According to Sputnik, Mr Hajek described the passage of the convoy as "a shocking display in line with the USA's imperialistic behaviour" and accused Nato of "actually preparing for war with Russia". Despite the efforts of Mr Hajek and the pro-Russian websites to whip up anti-Nato sentiment, there appears to have been little evidence of widespread opposition to the convoy. A recent opinion poll carried out on behalf of Czech TV found that 82% of those questioned had no objection to its transit through the country, while 57% of those polled considered public debate over the issue to be "an unnecessary fuss".

The Welsh Government reversed a decision by the High Court to strip Grove Park School of its Grade-II listed status in November. On Tuesday, the council said it would not try to appeal the latest decision. Last January, it agreed to demolish the red brick building which closed in 2003 and has since fallen into disrepair, prompting a campaign to save it. In August, it was given official protection due to special architectural interest, prompting the authority's legal challenge. Council leader Mark Pritchard said he was "bitterly disappointed" but the decision had been taken following legal advice. He added: "We have said throughout the discussion over the future of the Groves that we are committed to the delivery of education on the site - but have also noted that this building, as it stands, is ill-suited to the needs of modern, 21st Century primary school education. "It is now difficult to see what beneficial use this building can be put to in its listed state. "Having said this, I will now be pressing for early discussions with Welsh ministers to identify what support, including financial provision, they will be offering to the council both to carry out a full feasibility study to assess and cost the works necessary to give this building a meaningful, beneficial use for the future and to carry out the execution of such works." Campaign group Save Our Heritage chairwoman Elaine Guntrip-Thomas said: "Nothing has changed for us. "Our vision for the building has always been to see it used for education once again. We firmly believe that with proper refurbishment, the school can be made fit for purpose." By clubbing together, 100 households in Bethesda will be able to purchase the power generated by a local hydro scheme for half the price. The aim is to help communities benefit more directly from renewable energy projects in their area. Several organisations have been involved in pulling the pilot together. It could be rolled out across the country if successful, focusing on areas of high fuel poverty. So how does it work? At the moment, community energy schemes as well as large conventional power stations feed the grid network which transmits electricity to our homes. Consumers have no real connection with where or how that electricity is generated - it is just there when they flick on a switch. The trial aims to help communities support green energy projects in their own area. By making sure the power is used locally and does not have to travel for miles, the community gets cheaper bills. The electricity produced by the Bethesda hydro will be split evenly between club members using energy at any given time. Each home will pay 7p/KWh for their share. That is about half the average price for electricity in the UK, but more than the hydro would usually receive for selling it. It is conceptual - the villagers' homes are not physically plugged into the hydro. But through the use of smart meters they will be able to show the extent to which they are using power at times when the hydro is generating. To maximise the benefits they will have to change their habits - like using the washing machine or dishwasher after it has been raining and the hydro is running at full pelt, for example. Cathrin Alwen Llywelyn is one of the homeowners taking part in the Bethesda trial. "I have three children, I'm thinking about the future," she said. "We've only got finite resources and so we need to be more aware of the energy we're using. "This is a wonderful opportunity both financially and in a green sense as well. "It's going to be a huge challenge to change our habits around the house in order to save money on our bills. But this will help us make better choices and that's a good thing." Those behind the pilot believe each household will be able to save between 10-30% on their electricity bill. Energy Local, a company set up to help communities benefit from locally-owned generation projects, has been coordinating the trial. Its founder, Dr Mary Gillie, told BBC Wales that until now the people of Bethesda had not been able to take advantage of the "amazing renewable resources around them". "The special thing about the project we're doing is allowing them to share the electricity generated locally within their community," she explained. "So they can provide more money for their own hydro through their bills, but also get a lower bill at the same time. It's a win-win." Initially the villagers are working with a National Trust hydro on the Berthen river but have been fundraising to build another community-owned plant nearby. Keith Jones, the trust's environmental adviser in Wales, said he had been blown away by the amount of interest the scheme had received from across the UK. "I'm being emailed or phoned by different people every week. People want to retain more of the benefit of energy generation locally," he said. The electricity itself is being supplied by Co-operative Energy, which buys from the hydro and sells it to the households involved, as well as topping them up at times when the hydro is not running. How significant is hydro electricity? Powering Wales: Behind the scenes at the National Grid Mark Billsborough, head of renewable energy at the Co-op, said it had been "quite difficult to get this working" and that it "really is innovative". "Within the community energy sector we've constantly got people talking to us about this particular scheme - they desperately want to allow their investors and communities to be able to buy their own energy directly from the site," he said. "It's the closest things we've got yet to be able to do that. This is taking a big step into the future." The big hope, according to energy experts, is schemes like this one will help customers take more ownership over their electricity use and become more energy conscious. It is also hoped the idea will help with efforts to cut carbon emissions through giving the community energy sector - which includes schemes like small solar farms and wind turbines - a boost. Dr Gillie described the trial as "a great step change, turning the energy system upside down". "Bethesda is a really special place and they deserve to be put on the map for this," she added. The fire at Oak Farm in Rugeley, Staffordshire, has been smouldering for almost two weeks. Residents have complained about having to keep their windows shut due to thick smoke. Staffordshire Fire Service has now mobilised Mark Andrews, the Chief Fire Officer Association's lead on dealing with waste fires. Firefighter Rob Barber said he had offered advice about different approaches to try. "Our primary concern is the safety of the public and the environment and, although we have been proactive in dealing with the situation at Oak Tree Farm, our options have been limited," Mr Barber said. The fire, involving 1,000 tonnes of waste, started on 5 September. A controlled burn has been taking place amid fears water supplies could be contaminated. Public Health England has advised residents to keep windows and doors closed. Firefighter Tim Hyde said: "We acknowledge the frustrations and concerns of the public but would assure them that the normal techniques we would apply in such circumstances could cause issues for other partners." Cannock Chase Council's environmental health team is looking at deploying equipment to monitor the air quality in the area. It is an object with a hard surface like our own world but much, much bigger. The necessity for the new designation follows the discovery of a planet which has a mass some 17 times that of Earth. Known as Kepler-10c, it orbits a star about 560 light-years away. Scientists described its properties at an American Astronomical Society meeting in Boston. They confess it is something of a head-scratcher. Theorists had always thought that any planet that large would pull so much hydrogen on to itself that it would look more like a Neptune or a Jupiter. "The proper way to call it is something bigger than a 'super-Earth, so how about 'mega-Earth," Prof Dimitar Sasselov, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), told reporters. He also used the phrase, "the Godzilla of Earths!". Kepler-10c, as the name suggests, was detected by the US space agency's Kepler telescope. This finds new worlds by looking for the tiny dip in light as they pass in front of their parent stars. The technique gives a diameter - in this case, 29,000km, or just over two times the width of Earth - but not a mass. For that, astronomers looked at 10c with the Harps-North instrument on the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo in the Canary Islands. It extracts a mass measurement by examining the gravitational interaction between the planet and its host star. Combined with the diameter, the mass number showed that Kepler-10c cannot be a gaseous world but must comprise very dense material. "It's 17 - in fact, it's more than 17 - Earth masses, and that brings the density to 7.5 grams per cubic centimetre, which is a lot more than what we know of rock here on Earth (5.5g/cm3)," said Prof Sasselov. "But remember, this is a very massive planet, which means those same minerals are highly compressed. "So, what you see in the density is mostly due to compression rather than different composition. The composition comes out as being a combination of rocks and some volatiles, probably 5-15% at most of water." The discovery adds to our understanding of the mix of planet types we now know are out there, and tells us something new about when rocky worlds might transition to gaseous planets in their formative years. Interestingly, the age of the host star is about 11 billion years old, which is early in the evolution of the Universe when generations of exploding stars have not had long to make the heavy elements needed to construct rocky planets. So, Kepler-10c's properties suggest rocky planets may have formed earlier in cosmic history than many thought possible, and that very old star systems should not be ignored in the search for life beyond Earth. "It is [on] solid planets that is the place, as far as we know - and we very little about the origins of life - where we think the chemistry is capable of building those molecules that lead to the emergence of life from geochemistry," says Prof Sasselov.

Organisers are calling for 10% of each London borough's transport budget to be spent on cycling infrastructure. TfL said it was spending £1bn on road improvements. Organiser Donnachadh McCarthy said: "We want a real budget, at the moment we're getting crumbs. "We want an integrated cycling network in London within five years and we want a say at the top table." So called "die-ins" were staged during the 1970s in the Netherlands prompting a cycling revolution Leader of Southwark Council Peter John said: "If we are going to follow a Dutch-style approach it will mean re-defining and re-planning how traffic moves around our capital, in a way that we haven't really had before. "That needs strategic overview, that needs the mayor to bring councils together...and he needs to do it soon." On Monday the Metropolitan Police launched Operation Safeway and deployed officers to 166 key junctions during the city's rush hours to improve road safety. In the first three days it issued more than 2,000 fixed penalty notices to motorists and cyclists for a variety of highway offences. London Mayor Boris Johnson said: "This targeted operation has been hugely effective at raising awareness of road safety among motorists and cyclists. "This is a balanced operation reminding everyone of their duty to take care of each other while out on the roads, and I hope the figures put to rest concerns by some groups that they are being singled out." The cash and shares offer will cement Walgreen's position as the world's biggest pharmacy chain. Alliance Boots runs a chain of chemists in the UK and more than 3,300 health and beauty retail stores in 11 countries around the world. The company's wholesale business supplies pharmacies and doctors in 21 countries. By Julia CaesarBusiness reporter, BBC News Boots has been a name on the UK High Street since 1849, when it was set up in Nottingham by John Boot as a family run herbal medicine shop. The deal between US giant Walgreen's and Alliance Boots is set to create the first global pharmacy business, with 11,000 stores in 12 countries. Boots was bought out by private equity firm KKR for £11bn in 2007 in one of the UK's largest-ever private equity deals. KKR is in early-stage talks over an £8bn takeover of Orange and T-Mobile group Everything. As part of the deal, Walgreen would have the option of buying the outstanding Boots shares by 2015, valuing the company at $9.5bn in total. The Illinois-based company operates 7,890 pharmacies across the United States. Nottingham-based Boots is smaller than its US rival but is Europe's biggest seller of health and well-being products. It also has strong internet sales. Walgreen will pay $4bn in cash and swap more than 83 million shares for its stake in the privately-held Alliance Boots. As a sweetener to shareholders, Walgreen raised its dividend payment from 22.5 cents to 27.5 cents. The deal still needs to be approved by industry regulators. The announcement coincided with the release of Walgreen's earnings for the three months to the end of May. Net profit was $537m, down 11% on the $603m the company made in the same period last year. However, it said the stake in Alliance Boots would boost its earnings in the first year, should the deal go through. Walgreen shares fell 6% in early trading in New York. The deal will put Boots' major brands such as No7 cosmetics and the Botanics hair and skincare range in nearly 8,000 Walgreen and Duane Reade stores. "I have done a deal to make Boots more visible, more international, to create new markets for Boots and for Nottingham," said Alliance Boots' executive chairman Stefano Pessina. Walgreen's chief executive Gregory Wasson said he and his wife had been personally impressed by the No7 range. "The UK will become the centre to develop and manufacture new products for a fantastic market like the American market. New York is the window of the world," he said. The two companies have very little overlap. As a result, no job losses are expected from the deal. In fact, the BBC's business editor Robert Peston says the deal could create a world manufacturing centre in Nottingham, potentially increasing the number of jobs. Players said the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) treated them "like dirt on its shoe" and they would refuse to train if conditions did not improve. The FAI invited them to a meeting on Wednesday, and on Thursday morning said a "successful conclusion" was reached. The players will now return to training for Monday's home game with Slovakia. At 04:18 BST on Thursday, captain and goalkeeper Emma Byrne tweeted: "Long night, tough going, finally both sides came to an agreement! Victory! Thank you for all your support. It proves unity is a powerful force." Striker Stephanie Roche wrote: "Happy to have finally come to an agreement after a long night. Big thanks to everyone who showed their support on all this." The players had been fighting for improved resources, and compensation from the FAI for lost earnings while on international duty. Media playback is not supported on this device There were also calls for match fees of 300 euros, bonuses of 150 euros for a win and 75 euros for a draw, gym membership for the squad and the provision of team clothing. They had indicated that they would refuse to train on Wednesday if talks were not held. The Professional Footballers' Association of Ireland, speaking on behalf of the players, said "a comprehensive agreement has been reached which addresses all of the issues raised". "What we want is for the FAI to empower and enable our players to commit to training camps and international games without having to worry about taking unpaid leave from work or being forced to use up all of their holidays," said Byrne on Tuesday. "We are fighting for the future of women's international football. This isn't just about us," she added at a news conference in Dublin. Richard Tolmie took the drive from the St Andrews University student's campervan, which was parked in Dundee. The 29-year-old was tracked to homeless accommodation in the city using an iPhone he also stole from the vehicle. He admitted two charges of theft on 1 or 2 August. Sentence was deferred and he was released on bail. Dundee Sheriff Court heard that Tolmie, a prisoner at HMP Perth, had also stolen a £1,400 road bike from a Portacabin on Broughty Ferry Road before breaking into the campervan on nearby St Roque's Lane. The two students who had parked it there - Ronnie Kim and Jakob Feigl - returned at 03:00 to find a "substantial" amount of property was missing. The pair drove to St Andrews police station and Mr Feigl activated the "Find My iPhone" app. He found his phone had last been switched on at homeless accommodation in Dundee where Tolmie was staying. Fiscal depute Eilidh Robertson said police then watched CCTV footage which showed Tolmie - who has multiple previous convictions for theft and supplying drugs - arriving at the hostel with the bike. She said: "His bedroom was searched and all of the least valuable items stolen during the two thefts were recovered." The stolen bicycle along with two phones, a laptop and the hard drive had not been recovered, Ms Robertson told the court. "The monetary value of the hard drive is approximately £70, but its true value is obviously much higher given it contained the only copy of Mr Feigl's dissertation. "Of note is that when the accused checked into the Dundee Survival Group earlier that day he had had a laptop and four mobile telephones in his possession." Anne Duffy, defending, said: "He was thrown out by his girlfriend and ended up in hostel accommodation. "That led to illicit substance use and he has little recollection of the offences he has pleaded guilty to." Sheriff Alistair Carmichael deferred sentence for a drug treatment and testing order report and released Tolmie on bail. He said: "This is the last chance saloon. If you don't co-operate you'll be back here at square one with a high chance of a custodial sentence."

The country will retain its full name but Czechia will become the official short geographic name, as "France" is to "The French Republic". If approved by parliament, the name will be lodged with the United Nations. Along with Slovakia, the Czech Republic was established when Czechoslovakia broke in two in 1993. Some of the country's best-known exports, including its Pilsner Urquell beer and ice hockey team, currently use the word "Czech". But "Czech" is an adjective and cannot properly be used as a name for the country. Some have criticised "Czechia" as ugly, or too similar to "Chechnya", the semi-autonomous Russian republic.

The Czech Republic wants to be known as "Czechia" to make it easier for companies and sports teams to use it on products and clothing.

The Toffeemen last week agreed a deal to buy land on which to build a £300m arena at Bramley Dock in Liverpool. Manchester Metropolitan University researcher Graeme Heyes said forecasts suggest the site could be under water by 2100 due to rising sea levels. Liverpool City Council declined to comment. Everton could not be reached. In an article for The Conversation, Mr Heyes wrote: "As a researcher in sustainable business models, surely spending £300m on a waterfront stadium is a significant risk in terms of sea level rise? "Recent research has shown that by the year 2100 sea levels could rise by two metres. "That is only 83 years into the proposed stadium's 200-year lease." "One can only hope the developers of this new stadium have undertaken a full climate change risk assessment - or have stocked up on sandbags!" BBC News takes a look at some of the more dramatic feuds that have taken place over the wills and legacies of well-known figures throughout the decades. BB King, it seems, is not the only famous musician to face a potentially long and drawn-out battle over his earnings. Since the death of Michael Jackson in June 2009, his family have been involved in legal and financial disputes. After he left his siblings out of his will, some of them wrote and signed a letter claiming the will to be a fake and calling on executors of the estate to resign in 2012. One of the brothers, Jermaine, later retracted his signature and called on his brothers to end the feud. There was also a lot of to-ing and fro-ing over who got custody of Jackson's three children, Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket. Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine, was the legally named guardian but at one point in August 2012 briefly lost her guardianship amid reports she had gone missing, possibly even kidnapped by other family members. But, as it transpired, she was enjoying a 10-day break at a spa in Arizona, completely unaware of the media storm left behind in her path. Her guardianship was later reinstated. In one of the more unusual wills, US real estate mogul Leona Helmsley - who died in 2007 - famously decided to leave a huge chunk of her fortune ($12m to be exact) to her eight-year-old white Maltese dog, Trouble. But it wasn't all plain sailing for Helmsley's beloved dog, who had to be flown by private jet to an undisclosed location in Florida after reportedly receiving death threats. Dubbed the "Queen of Mean", Helmsley was convicted in 1992 of tax evasion and spent 21 months in prison. She famously denied saying "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes" - as quoted by a housekeeper at her trial. Any money that remained after Trouble's death would go to the charitable foundations that inherited most of the hotel magnate's estate. But in 2009 a judge decided to slash Trouble's inheritance by $10m, with the money going towards the Helmsley's two grandchildren who had previously been excluded from the will. Two million dollars was deemed adequate to cover expenses for twice the dog's life expectancy. As it turned out, the multimillion dollar pooch died just four years later and her funds were diverted back to the Helmsley family trust to support charities. Not all feuds have been about money, houses or estates. Case in point: baseball legend Ted Williams. His children disagreed over what to do with his remains after he died at the age of 83 in 2002. The legal dispute began when the Red Sox star's two youngest children decided to have their father cryogenically frozen - when a body is kept at very low temperatures in the hope it can be restored by future medical technology. Hours after his death, Williams's son John-Henry flew the body to a facility in Arizona where he was charged $120,000 to freeze the body. A biography by author Ben Bradlee JR in 2013 revealed further gory details of how Williams's head was separated from his body and stored in separate containers. This, he said, was based on accounts from people who were present at the facility when the body was brought in. But his eldest daughter, Barbara Joyce Williams Ferrell, raised objections, citing a will her father had signed in 1996 stating he wanted to be cremated and have his ashes spread out at sea. According to the New York Times, Mrs Williams Ferrell later decided to drop the case after spending $87,000 of her and her husband's retirement savings pursuing it. Deep divisions and squabbling were prevalent in the Nelson Mandela household long before South Africa's former president died at the end of 2013. While the anti-apartheid figure was fighting for his life in hospital, 16 of his relatives won a case against his grandson Mandla to get the bodies of three of his children exhumed and reburied. Mandla later accused his relatives of being vengeful and seeking to control his grandfather's legacy. When he died at the age of 95, Mandela left behind an estate valued at 46m rand ($4.13m; £2.53m), raising fears of further disputes to come. So far, there has been no real sign of squabbling. However, his ex-wife Winnie - who was bequeathed nothing in the will - is demanding ownership of Mandela's ancestral home in Qunu. It was a case that transfixed Hong Kong and beyond. Billionaire widow Nina Wang, nicknamed "Little Sweetie", died in 2007 leaving behind an estimated $4bn (£2.6bn) estate. Her lover, Feng Shui master Peter Chan, was quick to claim the inheritance of Asia's then-richest woman, only to be left empty-handed when a court ruled her estate would instead go to charity. Chan was later given a 12-year jail term for forging Wang's will. Jurors heard many lurid and colourful stories about the couple throughout the trial, including how Chan first wooed Wang - who was renowned for wearing her hair in pigtails - with a head massage. Wang's fortune had already been the subject of an intensive legal dispute after the mysterious kidnapping and disappearance of her husband, Teddy Wang, back in 1990. What started out as a dispute between the heiress to a cosmetics fortune and her family quickly descended into a full-blown row that escalated as far as the former French President, Nicolas Sarkozy. Liliane Bettencourt, now 92, is the richest woman in France and heiress to the L'Oreal cosmetics fortune. Her total net worth is $40.9bn, according to Forbes estimates. In 2010, her daughter, Francoise Bettencourt-Meyersut, tried to have her declared mentally unsound amid concerns her mother had given celebrity photographer Francois-Marie Banier about 1bn euros of gifts over a 20-year period. Mother and daughter later put aside their feud, but not before it led to further claims of tax evasion and illegal donations to Nicolas Sarkozy's 2007 campaign for the presidency. In a new case that began this year, 10 men have been accused of swindling millions of euros from Bettencourt, who is reported to be suffering from dementia. Gwent Police said the woman had sustained "life-threatening injuries" in the crash involving a silver Ford Focus at Clarence Place at 13:30 GMT on Thursday. Town Bridge has been shut in both directions and diversions are in place. Drivers have been advised to avoid the area due to heavy traffic. The star, whose single Happy has become an international sensation, was lost for words for over a minute as Gwen Stefani presented him with the trophy. "I never dreamt in a million, million, million years... that I would be standing here," he eventually said. Rihanna also took home four prizes, including artist and song of the year. The star, who got stuck in traffic en route to the show, also won an award for having the most loyal fans. She dedicated the award to her followers, and thanked them for embracing her, flaws and all. "It's not easy, what we do. It's very difficult at times," she said. "I never felt comfortable being anything other than myself." Performers at the show included Ed Sheeran, Arcade Fire, Bastille, 30 Seconds to Mars and Shakira. Usher also took to the stage, leading a dance routine set to a never-before-heard Michael Jackson track, Love Never Felt So Good. Owned by media company Clear Channel, iHeartRadio is one of the dominant internet radio brands in the US Thursday's awards show was broadcast by over 150 iHeart radio stations across the country, and 60 million votes were cast by listeners in the run-up to the ceremony. Williams performed a 10-minute medley of his songs at the show, including Happy, Come Get It Bae and his best selling-collaboration with Daft Punk, Get Lucky. The 41-year-old, who began his career producing songs for the likes of Justin Timberlake, Jay Z and Kelis, said he had never expected to become an artist in his own right. "All I did was write the songs and you guys did all the heavy lifting, all the hard work," he told the audience at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. His emotional speech came shortly after a clip of him crying on Oprah Winfrey's talk show became a viral hit. During the interview, Winfrey showed the singer a montage of fans from Africa, the Philippines, Iceland and many more, all singing Happy, his Oscar-nominated, gospel-tinged, feel-good anthem. Brushing away tears, the singer said the response to the song had been "overwhelming". Winfrey was among the stars praising Williams' contributions to music at Thursday's ceremony, alongside Lady Gaga, Usher and Shakira. "He was the person who made it cool to just be you," said Beyonce. Several artists were unable to attend the three-hour show due to illness. Miley Cyrus, who is recovering from an allergic reaction to medicine she was given for a sinus infection, sent her father Billy Ray to accept the best lyrics award for her single Wrecking Ball. "As a dad, I can't begin to tell you how much your thoughts, your love, your support for my family and Miley mean to all of us," the Achy Breaky Heart singer said. Royals singer Lorde was also unwell, and thanked fans in a video for her best new artist trophy. The full list of winners was: The bases of some one-litre teapots have reportedly fractured and fallen out during normal use, according to Yorkshire Tea. The products have the Harrogate part of the "Taylors of Harrogate" logo written in a lower case font. Anyone with one of these products is being urged to contact the company. The products included in the recall are the Yorkshire Tea teapots - one litre and one cup - the Yorkshire Tea Big Tea Mug and the Yorkshire Tea Milk Jug. Yorkshire Tea, founded in Harrogate in 1886, said the products were sold by Amazon and independent retailers from 2015. The company said in a statement: "When teapots from the same batch were tested against the relevant British Safety Standard they did not crack. "However, more extensive testing revealed the potential for fracture or breakages during normal use. "Therefore, in the interests of our customers' safety, we've taken the decision to implement a recall of all the ceramics made by the same manufacturer." The new deal means the 30-year-old full-back will remain in Inverness until the summer of 2017. Tremarco joined the Highlanders in July 2013 after spells at Tranmere Rovers, Wrexham, Darlington and Macclesfield. "Carl is a great player with a great attitude and it's good to get him signed up for another year," said Caley Thistle manager John Hughes. "There's other players who we've also made offers to and hopefully we can get some more sorted soon." The 56-year-old replaces Marcus Bignot, after the former QPR defender was sacked on Monday having spent just five months in charge. Slade spent two seasons with the Mariners from May 2004 until May 2006 before leaving for Yeovil. "There's no doubt that this club is big enough to be playing in the level above," he said. Grimsby are Slade's third team this season after spells with League One sides Charlton and Coventry. He will be assisted at Blundell Park by former Grimsby player and coach Paul Wilkinson. Slade led Town to the League Two play-off final during the 2005-06 campaign, which they lost 1-0 to Cheltenham, and he joined the Glovers shortly after. "It was a welcome return, I'm delighted to be back. Let's hope this time we can improve on last time," he added. "I think I've got the experience to make tough decisions. But it is an opportunity and a challenge for the players to impress." Bignot, 42, was sacked on Monday despite a 3-1 win over play-off hopefuls Blackpool on Saturday, with the club saying "there remains a strong ambition to build on last season's promotion". He had joined the club from Solihull Moors in November after Paul Hurst left for League One Shrewsbury. The Mariners are 14th in League Two, seven points off the play-offs with five games to play. The tech-focused Nasdaq index closed 73.84 points higher at 5106.59. The biggest winner on the index was Broadcom. Shares soared 21% following reports that Avago Technologies is close to buying the company. Other US indexes also rose - recovering from steep falls on Tuesday. The Dow Jones gained 121.45 points, or 0.7%, to 18,162.99, while the S&P 500 climbed 19.28 points to 2,123.48. Alan Skrainka, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth Management, said the market is in a "back and forth" mode with little clear direction. "Yesterday there was some nervousness over the potential for a Greek default and today we have a little more buying," he said. The Nasdaq's gain takes it almost 15 points above the prior record set on 24 April. The index gained ground despite a 24% tumble for shares in handbag maker Michael Kors. Fourth-quarter revenues rose 17.8%, its slowest revenue growth since December 2011. The company predicted full-year revenues and earnings which fell below analysts' expectations. Shares in Tiffany jumped 10.6% after the jewellery retailer's first-quarter profits beat expectations. Net income fell to $104.9m in the quarter from $125.6m a year earlier, but this was not as bad as analysts had feared. Leicester defender Ritchie de Laet, 27, has also joined Boro, agreeing a loan move for the rest of the season. And Belgium Under-21 midfielder Julien de Sart, 21, has arrived from Standard Liege on a three-and-a-half-year deal. Rhodes, 25, has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Teessiders, who are currently second in the Championship, a point behind Hull. He has scored 166 goals in 316 career league games and netted 11 in 26 matches so far for Rovers this term. He is also the leading scorer in the top four divisions of English football since August 2012 with 85 goals - 14 more than second-placed Charlie Austin (71). His signing comes less than 24 hours after Boro confirmed a deal to sign the Scotland international had collapsed. Middlesbrough play Blackburn at home on Saturday. Belgium international De Laet has made 15 appearances for Premier League leaders Leicester this season. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Media playback is not supported on this device The Scot won 6-1 6-4 and will play Juan Martin del Potro in Sunday's gold-medal match (19:00 BST) after the Argentine beat Spain's Rafael Nadal. Del Potro, ranked 141st in the world, won 5-7 6-4 7-6 (7-5). World number two Murray, 29, is attempting to become the first player to win two Olympic singles titles. He won his second Wimbledon - and third Grand Slam - last month. "It's obviously not an easy thing to do, that's why it's never been done before," said Murray about the prospect of another gold medal. "I'm going to give my best effort and I'm happy I'm guaranteed the medal, but the goal is obviously the gold." After coming through two gruelling matches, Murray dominated against Nishikori, breaking his opponent twice to win the first set in 30 minutes. The Briton was unhappy to get a code violation in the second set as he argued with umpire Carlos Ramos, but he remained in control of the action on court. Nishikori appeared to wilt in the Rio heat as he dropped serve midway through the second set with a dreadful game. Murray served his way to an unexpectedly simple victory, winning arguably the point of the tournament, a 23-shot rally, to set up a third match point. Media playback is not supported on this device While the first semi-final was a pretty straightforward affair, the second was anything but in front of a packed and raucous stadium. Nadal, who won gold in the men's doubles with Marc Lopez on Friday, took the first set before Del Potro levelled. Both players played superbly in the decider, with Nadal breaking back at 5-4 down with some wonderful shots - but it was eventually in vain as the Argentine won the decider 7-5 in the tie-break. Del Potro, 27, who collapsed to the ground in celebration and kissed the Olympic emblem, won bronze at London 2012. "It means a lot to me. It's very big, maybe even more special than when I won the US Open," said Del Potro, who was mobbed by Argentine fans at the end. "I didn't expect to get to the final, I didn't expect to beat Djokovic. I am living a dream and the crowd make me cry after every match." The agency released the new figures after pressure from Home Affairs Committee chairman Keith Vaz. He said the data proved the backlog was caused by the closure of overseas posts and the transfer of work to the UK. "This decision was clearly the wrong one and has been poorly managed. The public have been badly let down," said the Labour MP. He also accused the Passport Office of "profiting from public hardship" by making a surplus of almost £13 on each application. Passport Office chief executive Paul Pugh this week apologised to the public for the delays that have put thousands of peoples' holiday plans at risk. He told MPs on the home affairs committee that his office knew a surge in demand was on its way because the Foreign Office had decided to close seven posts in foreign embassies. He had expected to have to deal with 350,000 more applications. But even though that figure would be closer to 400,000, he said, adequate preparations had been made. He admitted the agency had failed to predict the scale of the increase but insisted it was not just down to the extra work from the closure of the overseas centres but other factors, which have yet to be identified. The report released by the Passport Office identifies a sudden surge in demand for passports in January this year - 70,000 higher than at the same time last year. Mr Pugh spoke about this when he was being grilled by the committee and said he had added extra shifts and redeployed staff to cope with it. But Mr Vaz says the spike should have acted as a "wake-up" call to managers. "A comparison of the 2013 and 2014 figures for January would have told the management of Her Majesty's Passport Office (HMPO) and ministers all they needed to know," said Mr Vaz. "The 70,000 additional passport applications, received five months ago, should have provided the wake-up call. "It is baffling why immediate action was not taken to alleviate the impending disaster that has now engulfed HMPO." The PCS trade union blames job cuts for the failure to cope with demand and says that rather than take on additional staff, managers forced officials to work longer hours, resulting in "burn-out". Last week, Prime Minister David Cameron told MPs up to 30,000 "straightforward" passport applications, mostly adult renewals, had not been processed within the three week target time. The figures released by the Passport Office show that 23,000 "non-straightforward" applications, including overseas and first passports, may not have been dealt with in time either. It has also been revealed that the agency has spent £2.2m on overtime for staff since the beginning of the year to deal with a huge surge in applications in the spring. In a separate move, the Home Office has published a list of countries that have agreed to accept UK passports that have been extended for 12 months. British nationals living overseas are being offered an automatic one-year extension when they apply to renew their passports in a bid to ease the pressure on staff dealing with the backlog: Labour said the list covered only a quarter of countries in the world - and did not include popular destinations such as the USA, Cyprus and Turkey. Shadow Home Office Minister David Hanson said: "It's just not good enough from the home secretary and she needs to urgently get a grip and realise how important this is to people." They used genetic data to determine that a group of 250 slow-moving reptiles was distinct from another tortoise species on Santa Cruz island. It is the 15th known tortoise species to be discovered on the archipelago, though four are now extinct. The new species has been named "Chelonoidis donfaustoi", after a retired Galapagos park ranger. Giant tortoises in the Galapagos tend to weigh up to 250kg and live longer than 100 years. Experts had long believed that the two giant tortoise populations on the Santa Cruz island were the same species, but genetic testing proved this to be wrong, Ecuador's environment ministry said in a statement on Wednesday. The newly-identified species, which is also known as the Eastern Santa Cruz tortoise, lives on the eastern side of the island and was also found to be genetically different from tortoises on other islands. Yale University biologist Gisella Caccione, who led the team of scientists, said the shell of the tortoises had a more compressed shape than other species. Scientists and conservationists are hoping the discovery will help to protect and restore the tortoise, which is considered vulnerable, with an estimated population of 250. There are believed to be more than 2,000 tortoises of other tortoise species living elsewhere on the island. Giant tortoises were among some of the well-known creatures studied closely by British naturalist Charles Darwin in the Galapagos Islands in the 1830s. The Cardiff University study found levels last year were broadly the same as in 2014. Previously, numbers had dropped each year since 2008. But the study found there was an 8% rise in victims over the age of 50. The survey collected data from A&E departments, minor injury units and walk-in centres. Last month the Home Office launched a crime reduction strategy which it said would make the most of new technology. An estimated 210,000 people attended hospital emergency departments for injuries as a result of violence last year. According to the survey it was the first year since 2008 that there was "no real change" in the figures, after successive annual falls. Prof Jonathan Shepherd, director of the Violence Research Group at Cardiff University, said: "After successive annual falls in overall levels of violence in England and Wales, this is the first time since 2008 violence in England and Wales serious enough to result in hospital treatment shows no real change. "This finding is also consistent with the latest report from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, which also found that rates of violent incidents were no different in the year ending September 2015, compared with the previous 12 months. "It is possible that the long steady decline in violence in England and Wales has come to an end." The researchers said one possible reason was that local authorities and police were spending less money on monitoring in real time footage from CCTV cameras which it is thought can help prevent violent incidents from escalating. The 66-year-old will host two shows as part of a festive line-up that includes Mick Jones and Paul Simonon of The Clash and Metallica's Lars Ulrich. "To come up with the tunes that fit the concept of each show, I've had to dig back to things that I haven't heard in a long, long time," said Iggy. "I thought I better check these old numbers to see if they still made the grade for me. They still do." The Lust for Life singer, who released his first album with the Stooges for six years earlier this year, will present two programmes on the BBC digital station over the Christmas period. Iggy Pop's first Show - on Christmas Day - is entitled Rockin' Rebels and will be followed by an interview with Metallica drummer Ulrich as part of Matt Everitt's The First Time strand. A second Iggy show, on New Year's Day, will explore Heartbreak and Heartaches. "I've listened to all this music for the shows and it all flows for me," said the veteran rocker, adding that he hoped to "reach out and touch" the listener. The BBC said the shows would offer an "exclusive insight into the mind of one of the most influential rock stars of the last 40 years". This is Radio Clash, a two-hour special presented by Jones and Simonon, will air on Boxing Day afternoon. Alison Hernandez, Devon and Cornwall's police and crime commissioner, was on a BBC Radio Cornwall phone-in when a caller suggested the idea. Ms Hernandez said she would "really be interested" in exploring the issue. The force said armed civilians would risk being caught in the crossfire. Deputy Chief Constable Paul Netherton said it was "definitely an emphatic 'no'" that the people should be arming themselves against such a threat. The caller, named Sara, said she was an "ex-registered firearms dealer" and gun owner living in Bude. She said: "If there should ever be a terrorist attack close to the town centre... what happens if people like I and others try to defend themselves using those guns?" Ms Hernandez replied: "This could be some of our solution..." before being interrupted by presenter Laurence Reed, challenging her on whether she was advocating vigilantes. Ms Hernandez replied: "I'm just saying... let's officially have a look at that and see what would be the implications of it. "We work with businesses to keep our communities safe. I'd really be interested in exploring that with the chief constable. "If your community was coming under attack, people would do all sorts of things to try to save their community without even thinking. "People will do incredible things without thinking to protect themselves and the community around them." After the phone-in, she told the BBC: "I think everybody should be thinking about what part they can play in a terror attack." However, DCC Netherton said: "A marauding gunman... is probably the most challenging situation the police service is facing and our response to that is by highly professional officers as well as firearms officers and special forces and we would not want to public to be involved in that situation, especially with firearms. "As was seen in London, we responded immediately and we don't have time to find out if you're an innocent member of the public or a terrorist. "If you're carrying a gun we will deal with you and deal with you immediately." He urged anyone caught up in a terrorist attack instead to "run, hide and inform us". Brent crude fell 4.7%, hitting fresh 11-year lows, while US crude was down 3.9% at its lowest level since 2008. Brent recovered to $33.95, down less than 1% on the day, while US crude climbed back to $33.42, down 1.6%. Oversupply has hit oil prices, which are now 70% lower than in June 2014. Companies and governments that rely heavily on oil revenues have been suffering as a result. Adding to the continuing fall in oil prices, China depreciated the yuan on Thursday, sending regional currencies and stock markets tumbling. Demand for crude tends to fall when the US dollar is stronger against currencies of purchasing countries, and China remains the world's biggest energy consumer. China's stock markets were suspended less than half an hour into trading on Thursday, after falling 7% and triggering a new circuit-breaking mechanism for the second time this week. Overnight, the US Department of Energy's weekly report showed a sharp drop in US commercial crude inventories of 5.1 million barrels to 482.3 million. The government data also showed a gain in US crude production of 17,000 barrels a day, taking it to 9.22 million barrels a day, the fourth consecutive week of increases. There was also a rise in stockpiles at the Cushing oil hub in Oklahoma. Oil is so oversupplied globally that countries are running out of storage. The US, which is thought to have among the largest storage facilities in the world, has nowhere left to keep it, according to Paul Stevens, professor emeritus at the University of Dundee and a Middle East specialist. "Storage is pretty much full and people are already talking about buying tankers as floating storage," he said. "But if supply continues to outstrip demand, then the only thing that you can do with the oil is sell it, which inevitably pushes the price down." The huge storage overhang means that even if US production falls this year, as oil companies halt production, it will take several months to get rid of excess supplies. Hyypia, 39, will guide the Bundesliga side on his own next term after it was announced co-trainer Sascha Lewandowski will move to the youth teams. Finland international Hyypia made more than 300 Premier League appearances during a decade-long stay at Anfield. Media playback is not supported on this device He retired as a player while at Bayer in 2011, and led the German club to a third-place finish this season. "Sascha [Lewandowski] will continue to have a direct influence on the future look of our Bundesliga team, which will be led by a strong coaching team around Sami Hyypia next season," sporting director Rudi Voller said. Hyypia was an unheralded £2.5m signing when he joined Liverpool from Dutch side Willem II Tilburg in 1999. But the giant Finn went on to establish himself as one of the best defenders in the club's history, before moving to Bayer 10 years later. During his time on Merseyside, he was part of a team who won an historic FA Cup, League Cup and Uefa Cup treble in 2001. As well as claiming one other League Cup and FA Cup, his finest moment was to come in 2005 when he was part of the side that came back from 3-0 down in the Champions League final to beat AC Milan on penalties. Hyypia was appointed as co-trainer with the BayArena outfit last summer, helping to earn a return to Europe's premier club competition after a year's hiatus. The man has been named locally as Raqib. The 13-minute video, There Is No Life Without Jihad, emerged on Friday, posted by accounts linked to Isis. Two of the six fighters shown in the film urging Muslims to join a holy war, have been identified as Nasser Muthana and Reyaad Khan from Cardiff. The footage emerged after militants led by Isis made rapid advances through Iraq in recent weeks. The video shows them urging other British Muslims to join their war. The men are believed to be among 500 Britons fighting in the conflict in Syria. Now the BBC has been told that a third Briton in the film grew up in Aberdeen, although he was originally from Bangladesh. He is identified in the video as "Brother Abu Bara' al Hindi". In the video, he says: "Are you willing to sacrifice the fat job you've got, the big car you've got, the family you have? "Are you willing to sacrifice this for the sake of Allah? Definitely! If you sacrifice something for Allah, Allah will give you 700 times more than this." Later in the video, he says: "All my brothers living in the west, I know how you feel. "When I used to live there, in the heart you feel depressed. The cure for the depression is Jihad." One former acquaintance spoke of his shock at seeing the man sitting with other self-declared jihadists, holding a gun, and urging other people from the west to take part in jihad. The former acquaintance, who does not want to be named for fear of retribution, said the man had regularly been in trouble as a young teenager. He said Raqib later calmed down and had been more "humble" after becoming increasingly religious. The acquaintance said he could not understand how a young man who had grown up in Aberdeen had ended up fighting abroad. He said that no-one he had spoken to could believe it when they saw Raqib in the propaganda video. "I was shocked," he told the BBC, adding "it seemed utterly mad". The acquaintance said that he believed Raqib had moved to the UK from Sylhet District in north eastern Bangladesh some years ago. "He came here when he was a younger child," he told the BBC. "He went to primary and secondary school here. "After that he was around in Aberdeen. He was a bit arrogant. "A bit aggro, maybe something to prove. He ended up in a lot of fights. "To learn he's accepted religion in such an extreme way is a bit shocking. Shocking because he's a youth from Aberdeen who's ended up somewhere like that." He said he was worried that other young people would be enticed to follow the same path and insisted that he had never heard anything that would encourage radicalism at either of Aberdeen's mosques. The man said that, when he was younger, Raqib had enjoyed drinking alcohol and going to nightclubs and was often involved in fighting. If any trouble or racial abuse came his way, he "sorted it out with his fists", he said. He said he had not seen Raqib for the past couple of years and believed that his family had moved to Leicester. Ibrahim Alwawi, from Aberdeen Mosque, said: "We, as a Muslim community in the city of Aberdeen, are shocked like everybody else. "We are co-operating with the authorities as we usually do." Isis grew out of an al-Qaeda-linked organisation in Iraq Craig Mackinlay, who is running again on 8 June, stands accused under the Representation of the People Act 1983, alongside his election agent Nathan Gray and party activist Marion Little. He said he had done nothing wrong and questioned the timing of the decision. Other Tory candidates were investigated but no charges were brought. Prime Minister Theresa May said: "The Conservative Party continues to believe that these allegations are unfounded. "Craig Mackinlay is innocent until proven guilty and he remains our candidate." If found guilty, Mr Mackinlay could face a maximum sentence of one year in prison, BBC Home Affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said. Police forces have been investigating whether MPs' agents should have filed costs for battle bus visits to constituencies under local expenses. The Conservative Party said they had been campaigning "across the country for the return of a Conservative government" and, as a result, associated costs were regarded as national and not local expenditure. It added that election laws were confused and unclear and the party was committed to strengthening future electoral laws. Mr Mackinlay, who is 50, his agent Nathan Gray, 28, and Marion Little, a party activist, 62, have each been charged with offences under the Representation of the People Act 1983 and are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 4 July 2017. In May the CPS announced that no criminal charges would be brought against more than 20 Conservative MPs in connection with the national party's failure to declare expenses for its battle bus campaigns. Investigations were launched after a Channel 4 investigation into election spending. Complex rules require parties to disclose national spending separately from the funds used to promote candidates, and separate national and local spending limits apply. A statement on Mr Mackinlay's Facebook page said: "My candidature in South Thanet is entirely unaffected and my campaign continues as before." "I have done nothing wrong and acted honestly and properly whilst a candidate in 2015, as all candidates do, [and] acted upon advice throughout." Mr Mackinlay said it was a "shocking decision" by the CPS. He said: "I am very disappointed with the way this has been handled by the CPS and Kent Police and I must question the timing of this decision given that Kent Police confirmed on 18 April that their file had been sent to the CPS to review and make their decision: Why leave this until a few days before the election?" It may feel like a curve ball this close to polling day, but in electoral terms the decision to charge Craig Mackinlay means no change. Postal ballots have already been sent out, the deadline for withdrawing nominations has passed, so there is no choice for the Conservatives to make, even if they wanted to: Craig Mackinlay will be the party's candidate on the ballot paper in South Thanet. If he were to win, he would also be able to take his seat like any other MP; being charged with a criminal offence does not preclude that. The Conservative Party could always decide to withdraw the whip, leaving him as an Independent, but that is unlikely in this case. Nick Vamos, CPS head of special crime, said Kent Police had handed a file of evidence to it on 18 April and the CPS had asked for further investigation "in advance of the 11 June statutory time limit by when any charges needed to be authorised". He added: "We have concluded there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to authorise charges against three people." The 2015 election saw Mr Mackinlay elected as MP for South Thanet beating Nigel Farage, then UKIP leader, into second place. Commenting on the CPS decision, Mr Farage said he was pleased someone had been charged and he predicted the Conservative vote in South Thanet would collapse. He said: "I think that constituency will now be a straight fight between UKIP and the Labour Party." Mr Farage also said: "Once again, it is bad judgement from Theresa May. "Why on earth would you allow someone to go ahead as General Election candidate when this cloud was clearly hanging over him?" Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the Tories' decision to comment on the case could be seen as "interference" in an independent process. He said: "Nobody should be commenting on the details of an ongoing case, the police must be allowed to act independently, to investigate on the basis of any evidence they've got and the Crown Prosecution Service must be allowed to make its decision on whether to proceed on a case. "I think it is a very bad road when democratically elected politicians start offering a running commentary on independent judicial processes. We have to have total separation of political and judicial powers in this country." But even a leader used to the rollercoaster of Brazilian politics could hardly have predicted what some analysts are calling "a perfect storm". Four years ago, when Ms Rousseff attended the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in London, she would have been looking forward to 2016 as a year when she could shine. Brazil had recently overtaken the UK to become the world's sixth-biggest economy with a growth of 2.7%. While by 2012 growth was beginning to slow down, the economy was still expanding and Ms Rousseff was probably hoping that the prospect of hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics would attract further investment. Instead, the news in the years since have been dominated by stories about delays in the construction of some facilities and pollution in Rio's famous bay. Other host countries have of course also suffered from delays and doubts about their ability to pull off the Games, but Brazil and its president have had to face added difficulties. An economy whose performance had been praised has tanked. The country is already going through its worst recession in more than two decades and it does not look set to recover anytime soon. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts Brazil's economy will have contracted by almost 8% between January 2015 and December 2016. But it is not just the poor performance of the economy which is giving Ms Rousseff a headache. In the past months, an outbreak of a virus which was first identified in monkeys in Uganda in 1947 has hit the headlines. The Zika virus, which in many cases just causes mild flu-like symptoms, has been linked to a growing number of babies being born with underdeveloped brains in Brazil. In February, the World Health Organization declared the cluster of microcephaly in Latin America a global emergency. These developments come at a time when trust in Brazilian politicians has been eroded by a massive corruption scandal involving top politicians from various parties. The investigation into the scandal, Operation Car Wash, has already led to the arrest of dozens of politicians, some of them high-ranking members of Ms Rousseff's Workers' Party. The party treasurer, Joao Vaccari Neto, has been sentenced to 15 years and four months in jail for corruption and money laundering. Just days ago, a judge issued an arrest warrant for Ms Rousseff's campaign manager, Joao Santana. And most damagingly for Ms Rousseff, her political mentor and predecessor in office, ex-President Lula, was briefly detained by police for questioning on 4 March by investigators from Operation Car Wash. While prosecutors said that Ms Rousseff was not under investigation for Operation Car Wash, she is fighting her own battles in Congress, where there are attempts under way to impeach her. Her political rivals are accusing her of using the country's pension fund to shore up budget gaps, which she denies. All of the above have caused her approval ratings to plummet. According to a poll by Datafolha, just 11% of respondents across the country said the president's performance was "good or excellent". Despite this series of blows against her and her administration, Ms Rousseff seems undeterred. Following Lula's much-publicised questioning, she said the investigations "must continue so those responsible are punished". It would seem she wants to ride the storm rather than be drowned in it. "Being against cops killing is not equal to being for killing cops. We need peace in our streets," he tweeted. Legend won the only Oscar for Martin Luther King film Selma, for co-writing its song Glory. Stars including Beyonce and Jay-Z have reacted to the shootings. Legend added: "These Dallas shootings are horrific. Killing these officers is morally reprehensible and completely counterproductive to keeping us safe." Gunfire broke out at around 20:45 local time on Thursday (01:45 GMT Friday) as demonstrators marched through Dallas in one of several protests in the US over the police use of lethal force against African Americans. Philando Castile was shot dead at a traffic stop in St Paul, Minnesota, on Wednesday, while Alton Sterling was killed by police a day earlier in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Both incidents were captured on video, reigniting what has become a national debate. Oscar-winning actress Patricia Arquette added her voice, saying: "Just heard about shootings in Dallas Please everyone stop killing each other- no more guns. No more violence. No more murder. Horrible." Michael Moore, who directed the Oscar-winning Bowling For Columbine, a documentary about the 1999 Columbine High School massacre which explores US gun culture, tweeted that US President Obama's presence was needed. Cynthia Erivo, who won a Tony for her portrayal of Celie in Broadway's The Color Purple, tweeted a prayer: "Dear Lord I ask you to take this world in your arms and brush it with love and peace and understanding. It's gone too far." US actor and comic Kevin Hart added: "Peace is the message... An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind." Before recent events in Dallas, music power couple Jay Z and Beyonce reacted to the police shootings of black men in America, with Jay Z releasing a new song, Spiritual, on his streaming service Tidal on Friday. He also released a statement, saying: "I'm saddened and disappointed in THIS America - we should be further along. WE ARE NOT." He also sent blessings to the families of those who "lost loved ones to police brutality". Singer Beyonce held a minute's silence at her gig in Glasgow on Thursday night for the two shooting victims. She also put Alton Sterling and Philando Castile's names on a big screen while pleading for an end to the "war on minorities" in the US. Canadian rapper Drake said, on Instagram, it was "impossible to ignore that the relationship between black and brown communities and law enforcement remains as strained as it was decades ago". He added: "No one begins their life as a hashtag. Yet the trend of being reduced to one continues." Musician Justin Timberlake added his voice, tweeting: "This IS systemic. We MUST DO BETTER. My heart goes out to the families of #AltonSterling and #PhilandoCastile May they both Rest In Peace." Katy Perry linked to video of Alton Sterling being shot, saying: "You can't just go on with your day, you must watch this & we must face this continual outrageousness #ALTONSTERLING."

Smith smashed home from 15 yards in the 89th minute, soon after Pompey sub Danny Rose had scored a 25-yard screamer in off the underside of the bar. Plymouth's Yann Songo'o stooped to head the leaders ahead on 20 minutes, converting Graham Carey's in-swinging free-kick from the left touchline at the near post. Argyle should have doubled their lead in the next attack, but Jordan Slew's close-range shot was scrambled off the line by Carl Baker. Portsmouth levelled when Conor Chaplin swept past Nauris Bulvitis down the left and teed up the unmarked Kyle Bennett, whose first-time shot found the roof of the net. Paul Cook's side started the 100th dockyard derby brightly and Argyle's opener came against the run of play. Carey came closest to scoring midway through the second half, beating Portsmouth keeper David Forde with a dipping 20-yarder which came back off the crossbar.

Lufthansa and the union failed to reach an agreement in a long-running row over early retirement benefits and pensions on Thursday. The airline has been trying to negotiate with various staff groups as part of a savings drive. About 37,500 passengers on flights from Frankfurt and Duesseldorf will be affected by the nine-hour strike, which is scheduled to begin at 13:00 GMT, Lufthansa said. "Of a total 3,000 connections scheduled for today, 290 flights will be cancelled, including 15 intercontinental services," the firm said. Some 10% of all flights in the Lufthansa Group will have to be cancelled, a spokesman told the BBC. Lufthansa Group airlines include Swiss, Austrian Airlines, Germanwings, Eurowings, Brussels Airlines, Air Dolomiti and Cityline. More strike action can be expected on Saturday at Frankfurt, the union said, but Lufthansa's other main hub in Munich will not be at risk of action until after Sunday. Should Lufthansa management not make concessions, the union said it was planning another strike on 13 November. "We regret this course of action, but we see no alternative," union head Nicoley Baublies said. Equinet analyst Jochen Rothenbacher said the strike could cost Lufthansa €20m (£14m) a day, depending on the number of cancellations. Strikes by pilots have already cost Lufthansa about €130m so far this year. Ciaran Maxwell is charged with making explosives and storing them in hides in England and Northern Ireland. In a brief appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court, he was not asked to enter a plea on the terror charge linked to dissident republicanism. He pleaded not guilty to bank card fraud and intent to supply cannabis. Mr Maxwell - who is originally from Larne, County Antrim, but now lives in England - will next appear on all three charges at London's Central Criminal Court on 19 September. Ciarán Maxwell: Full list of charges The 30-year-old was arrested in Somerset on 24 August following searches in Larne, County Antrim, and Devon. His arrest was understood to be connected to two arms dumps found in County Antrim this year. The charges include obtaining articles for use in terrorism - specifically chemicals and components to make bombs - and having an image of an adapted police pass card. Mr Maxwell is accused of carrying out research resulting in "the creation of a library of documents" likely to be of use to terrorists. The offences are alleged to have taken place between 1 January 2011 and the day of his arrest. A separate charge says that on the day of his arrest, Mr Maxwell had a quantity of cannabis in his possession with intent to supply. He has also been charged with fraud and is accused of having images of bank cards and associated CVC numbers for use in connection with fraud. His arrest came after a long-running investigation involving the Security Service (MI5), the PSNI, South West Counter-Terrorism Unit and Scotland Yard's Counter-Terrorism Unit. He was questioned on suspicion of being involved in the preparation for acts of terrorism under Section Five of the Terrorism Act. Sean Banks, 18, was found badly injured in North British Road, Uddingston, just after midnight on Saturday. He later died in Monklands Hospital. Det Ch Insp Gary Body, of Police Scotland, said the victim's family had been left devastated. The arrested man is expected to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Monday. The 39-year-old was granted bail two days ago but prosecutors objected. He is fighting extradition to Sweden over sex assault allegations made by two women. He denies any wrongdoing. Mr Justice Ouseley ordered Mr Assange be released on payment of £240,000 in cash and sureties and on condition he resides at an address in East Anglia. Speaking on the steps of the High Court to dozens of journalists, Mr Assange said: "It's great to feel the fresh air of London again." He went on to thank "all the people around the world who had faith" in him, his lawyers for putting up a "brave and ultimately successful fight", people who provided money in the face of "great difficulty and aversion", members of the press and the British justice system. "If justice is not always an outcome, at least it is not dead yet," he added. "I hope to continue my work and continue to protest my innocence in this matter and to reveal as we get it, which we have not yet, the evidence from these allegations." Mr Assange had spent the past eight nights in prison. He will now stay at a manor home on the Norfolk-Suffolk border owned by Vaughan Smith, a Wikileaks-supporting journalist and owner of the Frontline Club in London. Mr Assange's solicitor, Mark Stephens, said after the court appearance the bail appeal was part of a "continuing vendetta by the Swedes". By Rowan BridgeBBC News As the rain turned to snow outside the Royal Courts of Justice, Julian Assange finally appeared before the world's media. Wearing a dark suit and opened-necked shirt, he was lit up by scores of camera flashes capturing his first moments of freedom. Behind the rows of journalists, photographers and camera crews supporters of Mr Assange chanted, "Julian, Julian, Julian, out, out out!" clearly delighted with the news. It had appeared touch and go whether he would be released on Thursday, with rumours circulating as to how late the court would be prepared to stay open in order to finalise the paperwork for his freedom. Not everyone at the court was interested in the Wikileaks founder though. One woman spent the entire day parading around a placard complaining about a parking fine she had received in north London. But the question of who decided to appeal against the granting of bail remains unclear. A CPS spokesman said on Thursday: "The Crown Prosecution Service acts as agent for the Swedish government in the Assange case. The Swedish Director of Prosecutions this morning confirmed that she fully supported the appeal." But earlier Nils Rekke, from the Swedish Prosecutor's Office, claimed it was "a purely British decision". Speaking to the BBC after his release, he said there was a rumour from his lawyers in the US that there had been an indictment made against him there. A spokeswoman from the US Department of Justice would only confirm there was "an ongoing investigation into the WikiLeaks matter". Mr Assange's mother, Christine, said she was "very, very happy" with the decision and thanked his supporters. "I can't wait to see my son and to hold him close. I had faith that the British justice system would do the right thing and the judge would uphold the magistrates' decision, and that faith has been reaffirmed," she said. Gemma Lindfield, representing the prosecution, had told the judge there was "a real risk" Mr Assange would abscond, and pointed to his nomadic lifestyle. She said he had "the means and ability" to go into hiding among Wikileaks' many supporters in this country and abroad. But Mr Justice Ouseley pointed out Mr Assange, who is Australian, had offered to meet the police in London when he heard the Swedish matter was still live and he said: "That is not the conduct of a person who is seeking to evade justice." However, he did impose strict bail conditions including wearing an electronic tag, reporting to police every day, observing a curfew and residing at Mr Smith's home. Earlier, the judge made a ruling banning the use of Twitter to give a blow-by-blow account of Thursday's proceedings. Mr Assange has received the backing of a number of high-profile supporters, including human rights campaigners Jemima Khan and Bianca Jagger, and film director Ken Loach. Wikileaks has published hundreds of sensitive American diplomatic cables, details of which have appeared in the Guardian in the UK and several other newspapers around the world. He has been criticised in the US, where former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has said he should be hunted down like the al-Qaeda leadership. Mr Assange argues the allegations against him are politically motivated and designed to take attention away from the material appearing on Wikileaks. Source: Mark Stephens, solicitor Speaking to the BBC, he said Wikileaks would continue its work. "We have seen in my week away that my team is robust, support for them is strong and we were fortunately able to continue publishing, in a very efficiently successful manner, even though I was taken out briefly," he said. "That does not underestimate the risks faced by all of us, but it does show the resilience of the organisation, that it can withstand decapitation attacks." Mr Assange is accused of having unprotected sex with a woman, identified only as Miss A, when she insisted he use a condom. He is also accused of having unprotected sex with another woman, Miss W, while she was asleep. A full extradition hearing should normally take place within 21 days of the arrest. Mr Assange was arrested on 7 December, so this should be by 28 December. However, in such a high profile case, it is possible that a full extradition hearing will not take place for several months. At that hearing Mr Assange will be able to challenge the warrant and raise any defences to the extradition request. The passenger called police when he asked the driver to stop on the hard shoulder of the A1(M) near Stevenage at about 17:30 GMT on Thursday. A breath test recorded 171mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath. The legal limit is 35mg. The driver, from Cambridge, was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving. Police said the 42-year-old man remains in custody in Hertfordshire. More news from Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire The White House recently said President Barack Obama would veto the bill. The bill has not enough votes to override a presidential veto. The 875-mile (1,400km) pipeline would carry tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada, to the US state of Nebraska, where it joins pipes running to Texas. The project has pitted Republicans and other supporters, who say it will create much needed jobs, against many Democrats and environmentalists, who warn the pipeline will add to carbon emissions and contribute to global warming. The US president has been critical of the pipeline, saying at the end of last year that it would primarily benefit Canadian oil firms and not contribute much to already dropping petrol prices. The House of Representatives approved the bill on Wednesday by 270 votes to 152. One Republican voted against it, while 29 Democrats voted in favour. The bill had been expected to get a smooth passage through the House of Representatives. Both chambers are controlled by the Republicans, who overwhelmingly support the construction of the pipeline. The House endorsed amendments approved by the Senate last month. The amendments acknowledged the existence of climate change, and said oil sands should not be exempt from a tax to clean up oil spills. The Keystone XL pipeline aims to carry some 830,000 barrels of heavy crude a day from the fields in Alberta to Nebraska. The oil would then be transported through existing pipes to refineries in Texas. The southern section of the project was finished last year. The 29-year-old Belgium international, whose old deal ran until 2018, has made 179 appearances for the Premier League club since his 2012 move from Ajax. "It's a big relief. The future looks great so I'm very happy to be a part of it," he said. "This is an unbelievable group of talent. There's a great buzz around Tottenham." Vertonghen's new deal comes a day after striker Harry Kane signed a contract until 2022. Her family of 15, including six grandchildren, are living in a tent with their neighbours. After being soaked in rain water for days, the tent is filled with the stench of the damp fabric and bedding. Buddhimaya's options are fast running out. The 55-five-year-old has no roof over her head and her meagre savings are dwindling. "We have not received any help whatsoever so far. We have no shelter and we will run out of food any time now," she says. Buddhimaya's family, like most in her community, are subsistence farmers and rely on daily wages for survival. Last Saturday's 7.8-magnitude earthquake devastated the tiny hilltop village of Fakhel, home to indigenous Tamang people, where Buddhimaya and hundreds of others are waiting for help. Close to 800 houses built in traditional style with stones and clay plaster have either been destroyed or rendered unsafe to live in. Nestled deep in the Himalayan hills, 40km south of Kathmandu, most of Fakhel's communities are only accessible on foot and can take hours to reach. The earthquake has only increased its isolation. In almost every Tamang household, young boys leave home for Kathmandu and other cities to support their families. Buddhimaya's sons were working as waiters in the capital, but the earthquake has cost them their accommodation and jobs. "I am worried that we will not have food to eat very soon. This earthquake has destroyed our lives," says Buddhimaya's 26-year-old son Madan, himself a father of two. Almost every indigenous family in Fakhel has been affected. Among Nepal's poorest and most marginalised people, the Tamang are living through the consequences of this tragedy with an overwhelming sense of helplessness. Sano Kanchi cries uncontrollably as she looks at the huge cracks on the wall of her house, which is no longer safe. Sano, 42, and husband Thulo had always dreamt of owning a modern home and 10 years ago spent all their life savings to build one. "We have lost the house and are now left with a huge mortgage to pay," she says. "This is the end of our dream." Sano's family are now living in a tent several other families. They are cutting down their food intake, unsure of how long it is going to last. Children in the community have been deeply affected by the earthquake. "I have come across children who cry when their parents venture inside damaged homes. Some can't sleep or eat properly," says Dhananjaya Pokharel, who runs a primary health clinic in the village. "Cases of diarrhoea and fever are also rising among children living in tents," he says. Almost every hill in Fakhel is dotted with ruined homes. Families with young children can be seen huddled up together in ramshackle tents, closer to running out of food with each passing day. "No one cares for us. We only want some food and temporary shelter so my people can survive this tragedy," says the community's 86-year-old chief, Sano Kancha. The Nepalese earthquake has left hundreds of thousands devastated in its wake. As concern grows over the pace of the relief operation, there are fears that the less visible communities will fall through the cracks. But Buddhimaya and her family are keeping faith. Homeless and hungry, they are holding on to their hopes that aid will reach them soon. "Each time I see a lorry far away, I think someone has come to help us," she says.

Now young Welsh centre Jack Roberts is making his own mark in the game. The 25-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough season with English Premiership side Leicester, scoring one try in 17 appearances . "I've really enjoyed the year and it's been good to get out there and get games week to week," said the Scarlets youth product, who joined Tigers from Rotherham in 2014. "My rugby's progressed this year. It's probably the toughest league in the world in terms of competition and every game is tough." Born in Bangor but raised in Pwllheli in north Wales, Roberts has been given his chance this season because of injuries to Tuilagi and Toomua. Roberts has seized his opportunities and has also sought guidance from Tuilagi and Toomua as well as that of Tigers head coach, former New Zealand centre Aaron Mauger. "I try and learn as much as I can," Roberts told BBC Wales Sport. "I was lucky enough to play with Manu for a few games and I really enjoyed that. "I've learnt a lot off him and Matt Toomua is around the training ground and I can pick his brains when I want. "If I can learn a little bit off them then I'll be better for it. "Then you've got Aaron Mauger, who was a world class centre himself. "Mauger has been a massive help for me. He's looked at my game and looked at ways for me to keep improving. "He's put a lot of faith and trust in me and played me in big games when he probably had opportunities to play other people. "I'm very grateful he's put his trust in me and I think I've repaid that trust he's put in me." Having made a breakthrough at Tigers this season, Roberts will leave Welford Road and the English Premiership at the end of the current season. Roberts will return to Wales, having signed for Cardiff Blues. "The main driving force behind the move was to play back in Wales," said Roberts, who studied at Cardiff University. "When you're playing in Wales you are in the limelight a bit more and I enjoyed living in Cardiff when I was a student. "I've not played regional rugby and I'm really looking forward to that. "Cardiff Blues are a club who are going in the right direction and it's an exciting place to be at the moment," Roberts said. "They're playing some good rugby and have some good young coaches and they're building a really good squad. I'm excited to get started." Roberts will compete with the likes of Rey Lee-Lo, Willis Halaholo, Garyn Smith and Harri Millard for a starting centre spot for the Blues next season. "All top clubs, whether it be Leicester or Cardiff, are always going to have strength in depth," Roberts said. "It will be tough competition but I don't think it gets much tougher than Leicester having to compete for a place. "If you approach it in the right way it can help you become a better player. You can push each other to better things." Roberts has represented Wales at Under-16 level and was also in the Under-18 squad. Moving back to Wales means Roberts will not have to rely on a wildcard selection for the senior national side. "Growing up in Pwllheli it's what I've always dreamt about doing," Roberts added. "But that's not really at the forefront of my mind. I'm just looking to go to Cardiff and try and get in the team and play regularly every week. "We'll see what comes of that." Should Roberts make it into the senior side, he will follow in the footsteps of friend and former Scarlets colleague George North. And Roberts says the Northampton Saints wing, raised in Anglesey, is an inspiration for young players in north Wales. "I've known George since I was about 10 years old and we played age group rugby together in north Wales," Roberts said. "We then moved down to Llandovery College at the same time. He's a friend and I speak to him to quite often. "To have someone like George that youngsters can look up to and try and replicate is great for young lads up in north Wales." The five-level house, by Richard Murphy Architects, was a "deeply personal space" filled with tricks and surprises, Riba said. It fills an end-of-terrace plot in Edinburgh's New Town. Riba said Murphy House was "part Wallace and Gromit", with moving pieces and disappearing walls. It includes a hidden bath in the master bedroom, sliding bookshelf ladders in a subterranean library and a folding corner wall. Riba president Jane Duncan said Richard Murphy had overcome the challenges of planning restrictions and building in an "awkward site" to create a "stunning house" which now lives in himself. "Nearly a decade in the making, this house is a true labour of love for Richard," she said. "Part jigsaw puzzle, with its hidden and unexpected spaces, and part Wallace and Gromit with its moving pieces and disappearing walls, this is a model house of pure perfection and a worthy winner of the Riba House of the Year 2016." The house was inspired by the work of 20th century Italian architect Carlo Scarpa. It was picked as the winner from a shortlist of seven homes from across the UK. Mr Murphy said: "We celebrated our 25th birthday last month and to receive this award is a wonderful present with such astonishing levels of public interest. "It's our 21st Riba award, and takes its place in a long line of awards for buildings small and large and for whole variety of types including domestic, educational, health, arts and a new British Embassy. "It emphasises yet again that the practice demonstrates both great versatility and consistently high quality in all its work current and past. It's been a huge pleasure to develop a lifetime's themes and now it gives me great pleasure to live there." The RIBA House of the Year award - previously known as the Manser Medal - was created in 2001 to celebrate excellence in housing design. Last year's winner was Flint House in Buckinghamshire. House of the Year judge Philip Thorn, from Hiscox Home Insurance, said: "Murphy House was a real box of tricks with a unique, playful character. "Although a small property, it was deceivingly large inside due to the clever use of space. Every room contained a surprise and the attention to detail was exceptional. "The roof terrace was a real oasis of calm and I loved the long list of environmentally friendly touches." He said that Labour needed to stop defining itself by its opposition to the SNP and the Tories. The politician also called for a major overhaul of the party's rules on leadership elections. Mr Macintosh is running against Kezia Dugdale, the party's current deputy leader, who announced she was standing in May. Labour's current leader, Jim Murphy, said he would resign this month, after Labour's poor performance at the general election, despite winning a vote of no confidence. Mr Macintosh, who has represented the Eastwood constituency since 1999 and is Labour's social justice spokesman at Holyrood, launched his candidacy after meeting students at Glasgow University. He said the Labour Party in Scotland had "lost the trust and the faith of the people of Scotland" and needed "to take a fundamentally different approach" to politics. Mr Macintosh added: "I do not want to ask people to vote Labour to block the Tories in London or to stop the SNP in Edinburgh; I want them to want to vote Labour because we have the ideas, the vision and the values to deliver a better future for Scotland. "Devolution offers a new way of doing politics in Scotland, less tribal and confrontational, more collaborative, more about sharing power with civic Scotland, with the voluntary sector, with businesses, with the people of Scotland. "That is why I am standing to be leader of Scotland's Labour Party. It is time we focus on Scotland's future, not Labour's past." Mr Macintosh, who has stood for the leadership in 2011, said he would be a "reformist" leader, and called on party members and affiliated organisations to support his proposals to change the rules of electing a new leader. He has set out his proposals, which include; Mr Macintosh has also said he wanted to move to a "one member one vote" system for electing party leaders, rather than the three-college system currently used by the Labour. He also favours introducing open primaries, in which candidates could be questioned by registered supporters of the party rather than just paid-up members. Tensions have already mounted in the leadership contest, with Mr Macintosh having accused the "party machine" of bullying his supporters in an attempt to avoid a contest. He said his comments had not been aimed at party staff, but he has not named those he thought were responsible. Kezia Dugdale has already secured the support of more than half of Scottish Labour's MSPs, as well as MP Ian Murray, since announcing her intention to stand. Coleman, 46, guided his side to the semi-finals of Euro 2016, Wales' first major championship in 58 years. Wales are unbeaten in 2018 World Cup qualifying and will end the year in 12th place in the Fifa world rankings. Swansea-born Coleman received the award for his achievements in charge of the national team at the ceremony at Cardiff's Hoddinott Hall on Monday. "We still pinch ourselves the Euros happened," Coleman said when he collected the award. "I can't say reaching the semi-final was on our mind. "We needed a little bit of luck, but the players deserve all the accolades, they handled the pressure and thrived in it. Media playback is not supported on this device "Now we are focused on the next challenge, which is the World Cup in Russia." "This special award is a fitting accolade for a man who brought the nation together this summer," BBC Wales director Rhodri Talfan Davies said. "None of us will ever forget how special it felt to follow the brilliant Wales team that Chris Coleman put together at Euro 2016. "It will be a thrilling moment to see his exceptional achievements celebrated in style." Sarah Powell, chief executive of Sport Wales, added: "Chris has provided inspiration to the people of Wales that has even transcended his team's sporting achievements. "His fist-pumping passion, combined with his encouragement to dream, learn and strive for success have touched people across the nation. "We will all remember the summer of 2016 for a long time to come. I am delighted we are able to recognise his contribution with this Special Recognition award." The Wales Sport Awards is an event, organised in partnership by BBC Wales and Sport Wales. It aims to recognise the best achievements at elite and community level in Welsh sport. The local coastguard was alerted after the aircraft entered the water near Rudders Boatyard in Burton at about 17:45 GMT on Thursday. Angle lifeboat said the pilot had managed to swim to shore and was taken to the boatyard by a local boat. He was treated by paramedics and then taken to Withybush Hospital. Dyfed-Powys Police, coastguard rescue officers, the port authority and two leisure craft were also in attendance. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch has been informed of the incident. The report concluded Nottinghamshire Police's finances were "at serious risk" after it missed a significant £9.4m hole in its budget. HMIC said the reduction in officers and staff could lead to "a poorer service". But Chief Constable Sue Fish said the report was "absolutely misleading" and challenged the findings. According to the report, Nottinghamshire Police "failed to notice substantial costs had been left out of its budgets". These shortfalls in 2015/16 centred around the force failing to account for IT support costs and a failure to reduce costs as planned. The force's cash reserves are at the "lowest level that might be considered prudent", the report added. But Ms Fish said she did not believe HMIC's criticisms were fair. "It [the report] is absolutely misleading. I was absolutely livid when I discovered some fairly fundamental accounting errors. "We identified those very early last year, we reported them to the Police and Crime Commissioner, the Police and Crime Panel and HMIC. "So it feels somewhat rich, to be fair, as we put in place plans and the level of grip you'd expect for proper financial management very, very quickly. "The people who are responsible are no longer with the organisation." HMIC has recommended Nottinghamshire Police overhauls its financial management and has suitable expertise within its accounting team. It also said the force should have a plan to align revenue, capital spending and assumptions about income and should have a "credible and achievable" plan in place for its "police operating model", taking into account where staff can be cut. The Brock Memorial Foundation submitted the plans to the Environment Department earlier this week and anticipates a decision by September. A maquette of the statue has been produced by Canadian artist Adrienne Alison, who has told the BBC the statue should be ready by the autumn of 2014. The statue is intended to mark the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. The conflict, in which Canada repelled US attempts at invasion, ended in February 1815. Guernsey-born Brock died early in the war - during the Battle of Queenston Heights in 1812 - but became known as the Saviour of Upper Canada, having readied Canadian troops for the prospect of invasion. Distant relative Oliver Brock, who is leading the statue project, said £50,000 remained to be found in order to pay for it, after sponsorship was secured from RBC Wealth Management. Images of the proposed 7ft 6in (2.3m) statue were displayed on the market terrace on Tuesday. There will be further public displays on Saturday and on 10, 17 and 24 August. Mr Brock said he wanted feedback from islanders on the orientation of the statue. It could be placed facing the Town Church Square below, facing the public space to the north or facing west towards Canada. An online poll has been set up to establish the most popular option. Thirteen people were killed when British paratroopers opened fire on a civil rights march through the city in January 1972. A fourteenth died later. The 66-year-old man is a former member of the Parachute Regiment. He was the first person to be arrested as part of the Bloody Sunday investigation. It is understood he was questioned over the deaths of William Nash, Michael McDaid and John Young. He was arrested in County Antrim on Tuesday morning and interviewed at a police station in Belfast. The man was one of the soldiers who appeared before the Saville Inquiry and was referred to as soldier J. The inquiry, led by Lord Saville, took 12 years to complete and exonerated those who died. It concluded that soldiers fired the first shot and gave no warning before opening fire on the civilian marchers. The Saville Report also found that some of those killed or injured were clearly fleeing or going to help the injured and dying. Bloody Sunday was one of the most controversial days in Northern Ireland's history. In 2010, Prime Minister David Cameron apologised to the Bloody Sunday victims on behalf of the state, after a long-running public inquiry unequivocally blamed the Army for the civilian deaths. The arrest of soldier J was made by the Police Service of Northern Ireland's Legacy Investigation Branch. The specialist police team was set up to re-investigate unsolved murder cases, dating from the beginning of the Troubles in the late 1960s, up to 2004. The Legacy Investigation Branch replaced the Historical Enquiries Team (HET), shortly after an inspection report criticised the HET for treating state killings with "less rigour" than others. The branch began work in January this year, taking over the Bloody Sunday investigation along with other HET cases. Stephen McClay, 28, says he is "tortured" by the idea her death was a slow one. It is 16 months since Mr McClay lost his 24-year-old sister in the attack at South Lakes Safari Zoo in Cumbria. Miss McClay was in a staff area when male tiger, Padang, got in through an open door and dragged her outside into its feeding enclosure, an inquest heard. She suffered serious head and neck injuries and died hours later in hospital, before her family - mother Fiona, brother Stephen and partner David Shaw - could get to her side. Mr McClay, a French teacher who lives in Hammersmith, London, said: "Nobody was with Sarah when she died, her injuries were so severe she went straight into emergency treatment from the helicopter. "David and mum arrived at the hospital before she was actually pronounced dead, but they weren't in the room - I can't imagine what they felt like while they were waiting. "It would have been so tough for the doctors too, they were pretty much on a hiding to nothing, she was in such a bad way. Not many tiger attacks in the UK are there? "When I think about the manner of Sarah's death, what makes me most upset is thinking about how scared she would have felt. "It's not like dying of an illness when you have time to come to terms with it, or a car crash when you're dead the minute you hit the ground. "She would have seen a tiger coming towards her, in an area where she thought she was alone. She didn't die instantly so she would have felt every bite or scratch or whatever it did," he said. To add to the family's shock there was confusion in the immediate aftermath of the mauling as to whether Miss McClay had been in an area where she should not have been. But early on in the Cumbria Police investigation, it was established Miss McClay was in a permitted staff area and Padang somehow got in through a door which should not have been open. Becci May, regional manager of tigers and Asian species, for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said tiger attacks on people were rare. "Normally they run a mile - it can be hard to see a tiger in the wild, they keep out of people's way. A healthy, uninjured tiger will normally hunt on other animals," she said. "Problems arise if they are injured and cannot hunt." Business as usual - Julie Cush, BBC News Online Despite the awful death of Sarah McClay, it has been very much business as usual at the massively popular zoo. It re-opened the day after the tragedy and even with the inquest, plans to treble its size have pressed on. I visited on an August day, when the temperature soared past 30 degrees and it was packed with visitors. Animals at the attraction include African lions, Sri Lankan leopards, as well as a boa constrictors. A crowd-draw is big cat feeding time at the zoo. Staff climb up poles and string up dead chickens to give the big cats a bit of challenging exercise. Today the crowd is waiting for Padang, unaware he is the tiger who mauled Miss McClay. He prowls around an enclosure while his food is made ready. When he emerges, he leaps up the pole and grabs his chicken. He has been living at the zoo for almost a decade. Mr McClay remembers his sister, who was originally from Glasgow, and who had worked as a zookeeper at the park for four years, as a happy, pragmatic woman with "modest dreams" of helping animals. "She loved her work and all animals - especially red squirrels - and she would have loved to have been in charge of her own conservation project some day." Following the inquest, the family awaits the outcome of a health and safety investigation by Barrow Borough Council. The family has always been adamant that Padang should not be harmed. "I don't feel like I want any kind of retribution against the animal itself," Mr McClay explained. The advice from the World Health Organization (WHO) should reduce treatment to around nine months. Currently, it can take as long as two years - and many patients fail to complete what can be a burdensome course. Doctors urged countries to implement the guidelines quickly. Conventional treatment can involve thousands of pills and daily injections. Deafness is one of the main side-effects. Cure rates are as low as 50% because patients abandon treatment, leading to further problems with resistance. The WHO is also recommending a faster test for MDR-TB, which gives results within two days - compared with the current three months. It hailed the guidelines as a "critical step forward". Around 5% of TB cases are thought to have resistance to the two most effective drugs. This translates into 480,000 cases worldwide - and 190,000 deaths from this form of TB every year. Many patients are not being identified. The shorter treatment plan costs less than $1,000 per patient - compared with conventional treatment which costs $2,400 for the medicines alone. The International Union against TB and Lung Disease and Medecins Sans Frontieres have been involved in trials of the new treatment method in Bangladesh and nine African countries, which have influenced the WHO's decision. The Union hailed today's advice as "an historic moment". Its senior vice president, Dr I D Rusen, told me: "When we first saw evidence about the shorter regimen, back in 2007, it was almost too good to be true. "Then further results which were consistent were presented at our conference late last year. Next year we'll have more evidence from a head-to-head trial comparing the two treatment methods. "The shorter treatment plan uses different doses of existing drugs which were previously used for leprosy. "So we hope there will be time for production to scale up, while countries get systems in place for the new guidelines, although it's possible there could be some supply issues." David Lister, an MSF TB Doctor working in Uzbekistan, co-ordinated one of the studies and described the huge difference it made. He said: "The prospect of two years of TB treatment drives parents to hide their children from treatment, teenagers to abandon their ambitions and adults to decide between providing for their family or getting healthy. "The fear of relentless suffering due to side-effects manages to outweigh any hopes of cure and returning to a normal life. "But when I say, 'it's only nine months' they say, 'I can do that'." Ethnic rivalries, as well as sectarian and religious sensitivities, will have to be respected if the offensive is not to go horribly wrong. The Iraqi army which scattered and fled as IS fighters drove and rode into Mosul in 2014 was mocked as I.R.A.Q. or I Ran Away Quickly. But the soldiers may have been running not only from IS. The mostly Sunni Arabs of Mosul resented the domination of the central Baghdad government by Shia Muslims. Junior ranks in the Iraqi army were afraid that they would be attacked by Sunni Arabs in Mosul as well as IS, taking revenge for the transformation of Iraq into what they perceived to be a Shia state. For the same reason, IS in Mosul has enjoyed strong political and logistical support from former members of Saddam Hussein's Baathist armed forces, men who were summarily dismissed and who lost their livelihoods in the de-Baathification process after 2003. The sectarian policies of the first elected prime minister Nouri Maliki may have led some Mosulites to welcome "Islamic State". The Shia government in Baghdad had allowed the pendulum of political adjustment in Iraq to swing so far that the large Sunni minority felt downtrodden, marginalised, and collectively blamed for Saddam Hussein's cruelty towards the Shia majority. But the new prime minister Haider al-Abadi - also Shia of course - has worked hard to bring Sunnis back into the fold. For example, he has funded and armed Sunni Arab tribal forces which are expected to play a prominent role in the imminent battle for Mosul. The remaining residents, especially in the city centre, are more likely to welcome them than the mostly Shia Iraqi army, the irregular Shia "Popular Mobilisation Forces", or the Kurdish Peshmerga. Meanwhile the remaining IS fighters have driven out, or massacred, the Christians, Yazidis and Kurds who used to live there. Thousands of Sunni Arabs too have also left Mosul. If they ever believed that IS was a potentially sympathetic group of Sunni co-religionists, they were quickly disabused as the conquerors of Mosul revealed themselves to be irrational psychopaths who, for example, force children to watch public executions. Hundreds of thousands of people - possibly a million - are expected to flee Mosul ahead of the forthcoming battle. As IS still occupies Tal Afar to the west and Hawija down the Tigris to the south, most fleeing families are likely to go east towards Irbil in Iraqi Kurdistan. Extra pontoon bridges have been installed across two rivers on that route, and some refugee camps have been prepared. But it's not clear if Iraqi Kurdistan can really cope with a mass exodus from Mosul, or with columns of refugees who may have IS fighters concealed among them. Between 3,000 and 5,000 IS fighters remain in Mosul, the Pentagon says, while the number of Sunni Arab tribal fighters ready to fight them there and in nearby towns is estimated at between 7,000 and 10,000. Approximately half of them have been trained by Turkish forces based at Bashiqa, a military camp between Mosul and the Turkish border. There are also Turkish troops on the ground in northern Iraq - and some Turkish tanks too - thanks to an agreement with the Kurdish regional government; but not by agreement with the government in Baghdad. This has led to a tetchy exchange between Baghdad and Ankara. One of Turkey's objectives is to prevent consolidation of power by Kurds in this strongly Kurdish corner of the Middle East. There are about 150,000 Kurdish Peshmerga fighters available for the recovery of Mosul, but only 2,500 trained and ready for battle. The United States recently agreed to give the Peshmerga $415m (£340m) to pay their soldiers, and to buy fuel, food and ammunition. They have also supplied some heavy weapons - but not enough, according to Iraqi Kurdish commanders. There are also about 5,000 American forces in Iraq now, many of them from the 101st Airborne Division which occupied Mosul in 2003. Others are believed to be special forces, many of them training and supporting thousands of Sunni tribal fighters. Ten years ago, the Americans helped Sunni tribal leaders in Anbar province west of Baghdad form the 'Awakening' movement to defeat a previous incarnation of violent fundamentalist Islam - al-Qaeda in Iraq. After US troops mostly left Iraq, it was the failure of the Maliki government to continue supporting the Awakening which helped the self-styled Islamic State move in and and occupy key cities like Ramadi, Fallujah, Tikrit... and Mosul. Mr Corbyn had wanted Labour to oppose air strikes, but was forced to back down by his shadow cabinet. David Cameron later said there would be a Commons debate and vote on Wednesday, saying he believed there was growing parliamentary support for action. BBC chief political correspondent Vicki Young said she was told Mr Corbyn was given a "thorough kicking" at the meeting with his shadow cabinet. He had previously suggested he wanted to agree a united position within his shadow cabinet and for Labour to approach the question "as a party". The free vote means Labour MPs will not be ordered to vote with the leadership. The prime minister had said he would only call a vote when he could be confident of a win. He needs enough Labour MPs to back military intervention to make up for Conservative MPs who oppose the action. Labour had called for a two-day debate ahead of any vote, with Mr Corbyn saying a single day "would inevitably lead to important contributions being curtailed". But Mr Cameron said the government would "take the action necessary" to ensure the debate lasted the equivalent number of hours of a debate taken over two days. The UK parliament's third largest party - the SNP - opposes bombing IS in Syria, with leader Nicola Sturgeon criticising Labour's stance, tweeting that "a party that says it is anti-air strikes has just made a vote for air strikes more likely". A number of Labour frontbenchers are believed to support Mr Cameron's calls for air strikes and the Labour leader was warned of resignations if he attempted to force his party to vote with him. But ahead of the shadow cabinet meeting, the Labour leadership said 75% of party members it polled over the weekend had opposed bombing. The survey was called into question with one Labour MP calling it a "rather vague consultation". Labour MP, and former shadow international development secretary, Mary Creagh said she thought Mr Corbyn had made the right decision. "I'm glad that we have come down on the side of a free vote," she said. "It was clear that any vote to support our French and US allies in Syria attacking the murderous barbarism of Islamic State was going to cause difficulties for the party and has split the party right down the middle, so I think we're in the right place tonight." But John Woodcock MP, who is in favour of airstrikes, questioned whether the vote would be genuinely free, with "certain people floating around the edges and warning of the dire consequences to their political future if they vote in the way that they believe to be right, which just happens to be in disagreement with the leadership". Warwickshire player Rankin, 31, has switched back to Ireland from England. The Irish top the table with maximum points from convincing wins in their matches against the UAE and Namibia. "We've been trying hard to get Boyd back into the fold and it's given everyone an extra boost," said Ireland head coach John Bracewell. "Boyd's return gives William [Porterfield, captain] plenty of options on the bowling front and it's good to have that wrapped up before Christmas." Ireland's victories in the opening two rounds have put them in a strong position in their quest for Test status. "It's a very strong-looking squad with a nice blend of experience and a sprinkling of youth," added Bracewell, who is currently in Australia on the coaching staff of Big Bash League franchise Brisbane Heat. "We're aware of just how quickly PNG have progressed in recent years, indeed beating the Netherlands in this competition. We'll be getting to Australia a week ahead of the game and have lined up a three-day game to help us prepare." Following the conclusion of the Intercontinental Cup game, Ireland will stay in Townsville playing PNG three times to help prepare for the ICC World Twenty20 in India, which starts in March. They will then travel to the UAE where they will play an additional three games, two of which will be T20 internationals, against opposition to be announced. "We've a total of six T20s lined up which will help us get into the right frame of mind ahead of India," explained Bracewell. "Andrew Poynter and Max Sorensen join the squad for those games - both have proved very valuable in the past in the shortest format." Bracewell also revealed that Tim Murtagh had made himself available for T20 internationals, reversing his decision to retire from that format earlier in the year. He added: "Tim's experience is invaluable. The games come at a perfect time for him ahead of the English domestic season, so the demands and stresses on his body won't be so great."

When inside, two men forced Mr Suratman to empty his pockets. They kicked him out afterwards and drove away, he said. Tommy Reza posted a video online of a distressed Mr Suratman, which has since drawn sympathy and donations. In the post, Mr Reza said Mr Suratman told him he was planning to use the stolen money to buy new furniture in celebration of the Eid al-Fitr festival later this month. The incident happened in the province of Jambi on Sumatra island. Tommy Reza told BBC News that he came across Mr Suratman in tears. "I just happened to be in the area when I saw a man shouting for help," he said. Mr Reza told his story on Facebook and friends started getting in touch to help. That's when he decided to start a fundraising collection to get Mr Suratman his money back. "Many people from Jambi and even overseas from places like Hong Kong and Malaysia got in touch to ask me where they could donate money," he said. Many people also posted comments about their outrage and anger at the incident. "This is disgusting on so many levels," wrote Calista Primalia on Facebook. "First, it says a lot about you if you pick on an old man who is just trying to earn a living. And to think anyone would have the heart to carry out such an ugly deed during fasting month. Shame on them all." Angie Kuron, who watched the video, said: "I cried because of the unfairness of it all. Is this what our country has been reduced to? I hope that the authorities will catch these crooks soon." Since the viral post, more than 37m rupiah has been raised for Mr Suratman. The local governor later also donated 5m rupiah and bought his remaining banana stock. Mr Reza posted pictures of himself delivering the money to the family. "He was very grateful and he was praying. I told him that I was only the messenger," Mr Reza said. "Indonesians are amazing. I'm touched by their compassion towards one another." Reporting by the BBC's Heather Chen and BBC Indonesia. Mauger, a former New Zealand back, will leave the role following Saturday's Premiership game against Northampton. O'Connor, who won three Premierships as a Tigers coach, will take over in early April, subject to being issued a visa. Mauger had been in charge since the long-serving Richard Cockerill was sacked as director of rugby in January. O'Connor, 46, worked under Cockerill between 2010 and 2013, before leaving to take the top job at Leinster and subsequently going to work for Queensland Reds and Tonga. The switch has been announced just a day after the Premiership's fifth-placed side edged out Exeter in the Anglo-Welsh Cup final to claim the club's first silverware in four years. "We're delighted that Matt O'Connor has accepted an offer to return to Welford Road," said Tigers chairman Peter Tom. "The club has conducted an exhaustive search to find the right person. "One of the most significant factors in our deliberations was experience of the Premiership and what it takes to win the competition. "Matt has that experience as head coach during a successful period. The team also topped the try-scoring figures in the Premiership four times in that five-year period with Matt in charge of the attack." Leicester wing Telusa Veainu expressed his surprise, tweeting: "With 5 games to go, really?? We don't know how good we've got it! #biggerpicture #gutted." Analysis - 'A big hit returns' Chris Jones, BBC Radio 5 live's rugby reporter "The management situation at Welford Road over the past few seasons has been a confusing one. "O'Connor was a big hit as head coach at the club, winning two Premiership titles working under Richard Cockerill, before leaving to became the main man at Leinster in 2013. "Then Aaron Mauger came in to much fanfare, before a clash of philosophies with Cockerill led to the latter's sacking. "Now O'Connor has returned to take full charge of team affairs, with Mauger moving on. "O'Connor will head up the coaching, with the club changing the structure of the organisation in the absence of a director of rugby figure." Former Australia Test centre O'Connor worked as assistant coach with Brumbies and Australia 'A' before first arriving in Leicester in the summer of 2008 In his first stint at the club, working with Cockerill, the Tigers won the Premiership in 2009, 2010 and 2013, the Anglo-Welsh Cup in 2012 and reached the 2009 European Cup Final. Since leaving Welford Road in 2013, O'Connor has worked with Leinster, who he led to the Pro12 title in his first season, Queensland Reds and Tonga. Former All Blacks centre Mauger had been back at Welford Road as head coach since the start of 2015-16 season. "While preparing to welcome Matt, we are also disappointed to lose Aaron," added Tom. "Matt's strengths are in his work with players on the training pitch and we are making changes to our organisational structure to enable him to focus solely on the success of the team. "Matt has a good record in the Premiership and had a lot of success in his previous spell here," said club captain Tom Youngs. "At the same time, it is disappointing that Mage is leaving the club. He's a good man and a good rugby man." The former South African president, 95, was admitted in early June for a recurring lung infection. Family members have spoken of their happiness at having Mr Mandela home again for the first time since 8 June. However the South African government has said his condition remains critical and can sometimes be unstable. By Andrew HardingAfrica correspondent Mr Mandela returned home by ambulance early on Sunday and would continue to receive intensive care there, a statement from the South African presidency said. His suburban house in the suburb of Houghton has been "reconfigured" for his care. However, the presidency said he would be readmitted to hospital should his condition warrant it. The BBC's Mike Wooldridge in Johannesburg says all this seems designed to reassure not just the Mandela family but the nation, too, that he should be no more vulnerable when his condition is unstable than he was in hospital in Pretoria. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate is revered around the world for leading the fight against white minority rule and preaching reconciliation with the white community despite being imprisoned for 27 years. Despite his various illnesses, the statement from Mr Zuma's office notes, the former president displayed "immense grace and fortitude". "It is a day of celebration for us, that he is finally back home with us," said his grandson, Mandla Mandela. The South African government has released few details about his condition, appealing for Mr Mandela's privacy and dignity to be respected. Mr Mandela's lung condition is said to result from the tuberculosis he contracted during the 27 years he spent in prison for taking up arms against white minority rule. He has been admitted to hospital four times in the past year and his latest stay lasted 84 days. He became president after 1994 elections - the first time black South Africans were allowed to vote - and he stepped down five years later. The incident was caused by a leaking pipe which was in the the ceiling above a bedroom in a hospital ward. The patient was moved to another room following the leak. The Southern Trust has apologised for what it has described as a 'distressing' incident. Esther Gishkori, Southern Trust Director of Acute Services, said: "We have recently replaced many of the old pipe fittings in the hospital with new fittings. This incident was caused by a blockage of the old sewage pipe work scheduled for replacement in the coming weeks. "It is planned that all the sewage pipes in the main hospital block will have been replaced by 31 March," she added. It is understood that repair work began in September 2015. The 27-year-old, who spent the second half of last season on loan at West Brom, made his first appearance for the club since December 2015 in Tuesday's win. "My dream is to play at that level, so let's see," the Brazil international told BBC Radio London. "I feel better and strong. I think I will show I can play at that level." Sandro made 11 appearances for QPR in the Championship last season before joining the Baggies in January, and he went on to feature 13 times for the Premier League club. The former Tottenham player insists he is fully fit after reports that a proposed move to Portuguese side Sporting CP this summer was called off because of a knee injury. "Last season I didn't have a pre-season because of my visa problems," Sandro added. "This pre-season was very important for me, I feel fit and it was important to me to play 90 minutes. "I am working very hard and there is more to come because it was my first game." Rangers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said Sandro had "no problem whatsoever" with his knee and accepts he is looking for a move away from Loftus Road. "I have a good relationship with him," the Dutchman added. "He is acting very professional but he believes he is a Premier League player. We need to help him get to the Premier League or to the Champions League." In West Lothian they can receive up to £110 per child, while in North Ayrshire it is a maximum of £40. Last year, the Scottish government pledged to meet councils over setting a minimum level but it never happened. Education secretary John Swinney has now said he wants a voluntary agreement for councils to set a nationwide rate. Mr Swinney said there would be a range of views on the minimum rate but suggested it "should probably be set about £70". That was the amount proposed by a Scottish government working group in 2009. Eight years later, just 10 of the 32 councils have met that recommendation. The average clothing grant for eligible parents is now £63.80. Research by campaign group The Poverty Truth Commission suggested the actual cost of kitting out a child for school was £129.50, even when shopping at supermarkets and bargain stores. Mr Swinney told BBC Scotland the Scottish government had the power to set a minimum rate but he thought "dialogue" with the local councils was the best way to achieve it. Local government body Cosla refused to speak to BBC Scotland on-camera but issued a statement saying they would be keen to meet to discuss Mr Swinney's proposal and "to find out what additional money he is prepared to offer to facilitate such an agreement". The 1980 Education Act stipulates that local authorities must make provision for the clothing of pupils who would otherwise be unable to afford schoolwear. Councils, rather than the Scottish government, are responsible for deciding the eligibility criteria, the grant amount and application process. In 2015, when BBC Scotland first carried out the survey, the majority of Scotland's 32 councils had failed to increase the level of school clothing grants for more than a decade. In the two years since, just eight of Scotland's 32 local council areas have increased their grants. Seventeen councils have not increased the rate in more than a decade. In 2005, the average secondary school grant was £50.09. More than a decade later, 13 councils still pay less than that amount. The average maximum grant offered by councils is now £63.80, still well short of the £70 minimum recommended in 2009. The lowest maximum grant levels were in North Ayrshire (£40), Moray (£45), and the Scottish Borders (£45). While some councils paid almost double the amount offered by the lowest, such as West Lothian (£110), Dundee (£100), East Ayrshire (£100), West Dunbartonshire (£100) Highland (£90) and Inverclyde (£90). Angus Council had the lowest rate in 2015, having reduced it to just £20. It has since raised the grant to £50, the same as it was in 2005. Mother-of-three Jackie says she has not yet received her grant from Glasgow City Council and is worried about not being able to afford new clothes before her children go back to school next week. She says her partner works in a low-paid job and she is out of work so the council's grant to buy school clothing is important to her. "I really need the uniform grant and I haven't received it this year because of an admin mistake because they're changing the system," she says. "So it's becoming really stressful for me. I'm having to run out on very little money and try to buy last-minute things and use things from last year on the first week." Jackie says: "It's important how your kids look when they go into school. People who are struggling don't want to look like they're struggling. "For the first week, I feel as though I'm going to be sending my kids in rags, basically." Jackie says she can't see why the grant is not a standard amount wherever you are in the country and she thinks it should be higher than the £52 Glasgow offers. She says: "The bar should be set a lot higher - it should be more than £100 at least - definitely. "Things just cost too much - for a badged polo shift dress it can be as much as £12 to £15, the last time I looked at the prices - and that's just for one. Realistically you would need five each." "I have to try to hide my stress from the kids. I don't want them to pick up on it. I want them to go in feeling like they have a brand new uniform. "I'm not even sure if I'll be able to get their hair cut by the time they go back. I'm just going to have to gel it for the first week and hope that it looks respectable enough. "It's very stressful and it's very upsetting at times." After pressure from anti-poverty campaigners at the start of the last school year, Mr Swinney, the deputy first minister, promised to meet Cosla to discuss the school clothing grant and agree eligibility criteria and a minimum grant level. He said this would ensure those families across Scotland who need support receive it. That meeting did not take place. Mr Swinney has now told BBC Scotland: "The Scottish government took steps in legislation to establish the power to set a minimum rate - but we judged the most appropriate way to take that forward was by dialogue with local authorities to avoid regulation in this respect." He said: "The government would prefer to take forward a voluntary approach with local government but we have the power within legislation to establish that minimum level if we choose to do so." Mr Swinney added: "The evidence that has been looked at suggests that the minimum level for the clothing grant should probably be set about £70. And a lot of local authorities are paying either at that level or in excess of that level. "There will be a range of different perspectives around the levels for a minimum grant in this respect. I fully recognise the significance of the cost of children going to school and being properly equipped for school." A statement for local government body Cosla said: "Scotland's Councils are committed to doing the very best for the communities they are elected to represent - especially those people in the most need. "However, years of UK government austerity and a lack of investment in public services takes its toll. "This coupled with year on year cuts to council budgets from the Scottish government has meant that councils have had to make extremely difficult decisions across all areas of their expenditure." Julie Hepburn runs the Cumbernauld and Kilsyth Care School Uniform Bank, which provides school uniform free of charge to families in need, through a system of referrals. The clothing consists of new and second-hand items. She says there is growing demand across the country for services such as this. "I've spoken to volunteers running the school banks around the country and we're all seeing a huge surge in demand this year," Ms Hepburn says. "Partly people will be more aware of us and the service we offer but the demand is growing all the time. "A number of the uniform banks are struggling to meet demand." Ms Hepburn says she is always moved by the appreciation people show when she delivers a uniform package. "Personally I find it very very difficult when we do drop off donations," she says. "Sometimes people have been so stressed and worrying how they're going to get this uniform, when it does arrive they're quite emotional about it as well." According to Ms Hepburn, the school clothing grant, even for those who are eligible, does not cover all the items they need. She says: "If you are trying to kit out a teenager and you're trying to get shoes and a coat and a bag and a blazer - blazers are now compulsory in a lot of secondary schools. "We were trying to get one this week that was £45. If you're only getting 70-odd quid that is not enough to cover the uniform your child needs." Stephen C Associates Ltd, run by Stephen McManus, organised the two concerts in Dorset and Devon but said on Thursday it had ceased trading. The Bournemouth Echo has since revealed Mr McManus also owes money for Poole's Upton House Music Festival. Poole council said an invoice relating to the festival had not been paid. A Borough of Poole spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that Mr McManus has been issued an invoice in relation to this year's Upton House Music Festival, for which payment has not yet been received." Companies House records show several previous companies of Mr McManus, including SCM Events Ltd, Balmlane Events Ltd and Musical Concepts Ltd, have also been dissolved. Olly Murs had been due to perform at Exeter's Powderham Castle, home to the Earl and Countess of Devon, on 29 July and at Kings Park, Bournemouth on 5 August. In a statement, Stephen C Associates Ltd said only those who bought tickets from the promoter using their credit cards would be able to claim their money back. It added it was "not in a position" to offer refunds to ticketholders who had paid by other means. Powderham Castle was also due to host a concert by Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra on 30 July which had been organised by the promoter. The BBC has so far been unable to contact Mr McManus for comment in relation to Upton House Music Festival, which took place in June, and included performances by Billy Ocean, Kim Wilde and Toyah Wilcox. Justice Secretary Michael Matheson wants to integrate railway policing when responsibility for this specialist service is devolved. The RMT, the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) and train drivers union Aslef all oppose the change. It is understood BTP had hoped to continue providing the service. The force had hoped it would operate with oversight from Holyrood rather than Westminster after control was devolved to the Scottish Parliament, as recommended by the Smith Commission. BTP is a cross-border police force which employs more than 200 officers in Scotland. The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union's general secretary Mick Cash said: "It is sheer arrogance on the part of the SNP government that they are ignoring the advice of the BTP and those who work in the railway industry and are forging ahead with plans to merge this important and distinctive policing operation into the wider force. "Skills and expertise in dealing with the specialist policing needs on the railways would be lost for ever and would result in an inferior policing service which would impact on staff and passengers alike. "RMT stands alongside our sister rail unions in opposing these ill-conceived and dangerous plans." Aslef's organiser in Scotland, Kevin Lindsay, said: "BTP in Scotland understands the way the railway works and has the special expertise to deal with the special problems encountered on the railway every day. "We don't want the BTP to be scrapped and its services delivered by Police Scotland". The TSSA's general secretary, Manuel Cortes, said: "The SNP leadership know nothing about the practicalities of running a safe and secure railway. "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. The present system is far from broke and doesn't need fixing." The Scottish government has been lobbying the UK department for transport for control of railway policing since at least 2011. Under one possible model, the BTP in Scotland could become a specialist division of Police Scotland, known as the Scottish Transport Police. The Scottish government has promised to consult on the new arrangements to find the best way forward. A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "The Scottish government is keen to ensure that the specialist skills and knowledge of the railways held by BTP officers is maintained. "Over the course of 2015, we will continue to engage with all stakeholders including the BTP, the BTP Authority, the BTP Federation and the rail industry on how this can be most effectively achieved within our national Police Service." BTP is funded by contributions from the rail industry. In Scotland that includes millions of pounds in public money through the Scotrail franchise. A spokesman for the Rail Delivery Group, representing rail operators and Network Rail, said: "We support the desire for the Scottish people to have greater local accountability and want to see the policing of the railway in Scotland maintain its close links with the rest of the industry. "With over 21 million cross-border rail journeys a year and rising, it is vital that any changes are very carefully thought through to ensure that police forces continue to closely co-ordinate activities across the network and build on the good work already in place." The three main opposition parties at Holyrood have raised concerns about the Scottish government's approach and called for a wider debate about the future of railway policing. Labour said ministers were not honouring the agreement reached by the five parties represented on the Smith commission on further devolution. Labour's justice spokesman, Hugh Henry said: "We agreed that the functions of the British Transport Police should be devolved with accountability to the Scottish government and Scottish Parliament. "We did not agree to the BTP being scrapped and services being delivered by Police Scotland. "Dissolving the BTP into Police Scotland is yet another attempt to centralise services and reduce accountability". Powers over railway policing are expected to be devolved to Holyrood by the next UK government after the general election in May. Police Scotland could takeover the work of the BTP by the end of 2016. The all-rounder, 24, left the field with his arm in a sling after a diving attempt to take a catch in Sharjah. Stokes was fielding at backward square leg when he dived in a bid to catch Sarfraz Ahmed off bowler Samit Patel. "As soon as he hit the ground we knew he was in trouble," England pace bowler Stuart Broad told BBC Sport. "It's a worry, but we have strength in batting and bowling to cover if he can't play a further part." He was in obvious discomfort as he lay face down and, after receiving treatment, left the pitch using his shirt as a makeshift sling. "No one likes to see a player get injured and we know how tough Stokesy is," added Broad. "It takes a lot for him to show pain." Stokes left the field midway through the evening session of a day where England bowled Pakistan out for 234 then reached 4-0 at the close. "I shouldn't think he's fit to bowl, and there's huge question mark over whether he will bat," former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott told BBC Test Match Special. England trail 1-0 after two Tests and need victory in the final match in Sharjah to avoid a series defeat. Stokes is not part of the squad for the four one-day internationals and three Twenty20 internationals which follow the Tests. Listen to Simon Mann and Geoffrey Boycott's review of each day's play via the TMS podcast Listen to commentary highlights from the series on Pint-Sized TMS Nikki Collingbourne, 26, was found dead at her flat in Ivel Court, Letchworth, Hertfordshire, in May. Yvonne Caylor, 53, is on trial at Luton Crown Court where she denies murder. The jury was told Ms Caylor, of Grove Road, Hitchin, disguised herself as a man before going to the victim's flat and attacking her with the pot. Opening his case, prosecutor John Price QC said family members found Ms Collingbourne's body in her kitchen in what was a "horrible and very distressing scene". "She was wearing only her underwear," he said. "There was a large amount of blood on the floor and it had pooled in the region where her head was lying. "On the floor were a number of shattered or broken pieces of ceramic. "They turned out to be the fragments of a ceramic kitchen pot that once it was put together it was in the shape of a chicken." The court was told CCTV pictures showed a figure in a high-vis jacket going to the victim's first floor flat on the night on 23 May. Mr Price said the person, who was wearing a fake beard and fake hair to conceal their identity, was recognised by Ms Collingbourne before forcing their way into her flat. He alleged the murder scene had been "staged in some way, possibly to try and resemble a suicide", but deep wounds on Ms Collingbourne's wrists had been inflected by someone else "shortly before her death". Although pathologists had been unable to ascertain exactly how she died, the "unusual and unnatural death" was "caused by someone else", Mr Price told the jury. The court was told more about the relationship between the two half-sisters, who had previously lived together. Mr Price said Ms Collingbourne evicted the defendant "abruptly" from her flat in October 2015 following a disagreement. He added Ms Caylor then made a "bogus complaint based on an exaggerated account of what went on" to police that she had been assaulted by her half-sister. The murder trial continues. A spokesman said the MP, a republican, would "adhere to any procedures asked of him" but he had not been informed of any "specific ceremonial requirements". He follows in the footsteps of party leader and fellow republican Jeremy Corbyn, who was sworn in last year. Mr Corbyn said at the time he and the Queen "shook hands like adults". The Privy Council, a historic group of advisers to the monarch, currently has about 600 members, including former prime ministers and cabinet ministers as well as leaders of the opposition among others. Its regular meetings are usually only attended by Cabinet or very senior ministers. A traditional part of the swearing-in ceremony at Buckingham Palace involves kneeling and kissing the hand of the Queen. MPs who are privy counsellors are referred to as right honourable members in the House of Commons and can receive top secret security briefings. Conservative former cabinet minister Lord Tebbit has criticised Mr McDonnell's appointment, given comments he has previously made about the IRA and former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher - for which Mr McDonnell apologised last year. Confirming the appointment - alongside those of Conservative MPs Sir Oliver Heald QC, a justice minister, and House Office minister Brandon Lewis - a Downing Street spokesman said: "The Queen has been pleased to approve that John McDonnell MP be sworn of Her Majesty's most Honourable Privy Council."

Lee Gregory doubled Millwall's lead on the hour, before Whittle scored. But Steve Morison put victory beyond doubt when he converted from a swift counter, to help Millwall reach the second round. West Bengal in eastern India and Kerala in the south said they would not follow the "arbitrary" order which bans the sale of cattle at livestock markets. The federal government said the order was aimed at "preventing uncontrolled and unregulated animal trade". But critics say the move is aimed at protecting cows, considered holy by India's majority Hindu population. West Bengal and Kerala are among several Indian states where beef is part of local cuisine. Correspondents say the order will hurt farmers, and industries like food processing and leather. Many states have actively started enforcing bans on cow slaughter after the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party formed India's federal government in 2014. The western state of Gujarat passed a law in March making the slaughter of cows punishable with life imprisonment. In addition to government bans, several vigilante groups who portray themselves as protectors of cows have also been active in several states. Such groups have even killed Muslim men over suspicion of cow slaughter. Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year criticised the vigilantes, saying such people made him "angry". However, this has not stopped attacks against cattle traders. Mr Modi's critics say the new order is aimed at appeasing India's Hindu community. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said the centre was "encroaching upon state matters" with such orders. "Prevention, protection and improvement of stock and prevention of animal diseases come under the state list. So do markets and fairs and also trade and commerce," she said. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has written to all non-BJP ruled states to unite against the order. He said it violated India's federal constitution and also violated "the basic right of a person to freedom of choice regarding his food". The union territory of Pondicherry has also decided to formally oppose the ban. The southern states of Karnataka and Telengana as well as Meghalaya in the north-east have also protested the order. MPs will debate the FA's failure to reform in Parliament on Thursday. Sports Minister Tracey Crouch has warned the FA could lose £30m-£40m of funding if it does not modernise. "You shouldn't underestimate the old men of English football. They've seen off all sorts of people over the years," Dyke told BBC Radio 5 live. "Government are now saying if you don't do these things you'll lose money and we won't support you in the future. Who knows, they are stupid enough to say 'we're going to fight it anyway'," he added. The FA is effectively run by its own parliament, the FA Council, which has 122 members - just eight are women and only four from ethnic minorities. More than 90 of the 122 members are aged over 60. Media playback is not supported on this device The government has repeatedly called for the FA to be more representative of modern society, and those who play the game. It also wants the organisation to change the way it makes decisions. Last year, five former FA executives - including Dyke - called on the government to pass legislation to force through FA reform, saying they had been blocked in their attempts to do so. "There needs to be radical change," Dyke continued. "You've got to have younger people there, more women, supporters, ethnic minorities - it's got to change. "The Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee has produced two papers over the years that have both pressed for change and both been completely ignored by this bunch of old guys." He singled out 25 life-presidents on the FA Council he said were "not representing anyone", adding: "It's an ongoing oligarchy that looks after itself. "My understanding is that the professional game has also had enough of these old guys." Media playback is not supported on this device Current chairman Greg Clarke has said he will quit if his latest plans for reform are not accepted when he presents them to the government in the spring. And Dyke said: "I think Greg Clarke is a good guy who is trying to make a change, as I did. "I suspect what Greg is doing is saying is to the FA, more than government, that if you can't give me a deal that meets what government is after then I'm not staying around. In which case they'll have lost another chairman. I'm not sure that will worry them - they've lost so many chairmen over the years it doesn't really matter." BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway Last year Sport England set out required standards for transparency, accountability and financial integrity from those bodies that ask for government and National Lottery funding. The code will come into force in April. It demands, for example, 30% diversity on boards, greater transparency and term limits. The FA is due to meet the government in the spring to show its plans for achieving the required standards. But MPs on the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee have run out of patience and are exerting pressure on the FA to ensure it goes through with modernisation. Thursday's backbench debate is another method to do just that. Media playback is not supported on this device In a programme tracing the Welsh star's ancestry, he learns his family stretches back to the Plantagenets, including Henry III, Edward's father. Henry had granted Llywelyn, the last prince of Wales, his title, while Edward was the person responsible for his death. Gruffudd told the Coming Home programme it was a "stunning revelation". The Cardiff-born actor returned to Wales from his home in Los Angeles to make the programme with BBC Wales. He is descended directly from Edward on one branch of his family, and from another son of Henry III on the other. He said of the discovery: "When one is raised in Wales and most specifically through the Welsh language, we are educated that Llywelyn was the last true prince of Wales, so that has big significance to me personally from what I learned as a child. "There is a direct conflict that he [Edward] was related to the king of England who made the treaty with Llywelyn, who gave birth to the man who conquered Wales. "It's a stunning revelation that I'm descended from someone who wanted to cause so much ill to the Welsh and the Welsh history, and who wanted all the power and the control to himself. "Something to digest on my journey home, something quite significant." Historians have suggested there may be millions of legitimate or illegitimate descendants of British royalty living in the UK. Gruffudd also found moving stories of relatives who served in both world wars. One of his uncles, David Leslie Griffiths, was lost during the Normandy landings in World War Two aged 33. "These young men and women never had a chance," he said. "Hearing these personal stories, even from a few generations ago, just goes to show we've all come from that and we've all benefited from those sacrifices." Coming Home is broadcast on Wednesday 21 December on BBC One Wales at 21.00 GMT The Hawk Racing BMW rider enjoyed a massive advantage of 25 seconds over runner-up, Manxman Dan Kneen, by the chequered flag, with Ivan Lintin third. Bradford's Dean Harrison pipped Lintin by 0.037 seconds to take the Supersport 600cc honours after a thrilling battle. Lintin won the 650cc and Tim Reeves and Patrick Farrance the sidecar race one. Dunlop's other success to date came in the curtain-raiser of the event, the 1000cc class on Tuesday night, in which he was a comfortable 12-second winner over Lincolnshire's RC Express Kawasaki rider Lintin. After Wednesday's triumph over the 4.25-mile course in difficult conditions, Dunlop indicated that he had overcome the problems he had suffered with his machine earlier in the week. "I had a couple of slides with the slick rear tyre on the damp patches but the bike is working really well. I got my head down and pushed on in the first lap, then just rode it steady from then on," said the 27-year-old Ballymoney rider. Colin Stephenson completed the podium positions in the Supersport outing, with Rob Hodson and Welshman Rhys Hardisty occupying second and third places respectively in the 650cc Supertwins. The concluding race of the evening, the sidecars, was brought to a halt by a red flag after some competitors had completed five of the scheduled six laps. The incident which necessitated the race being stopped involved one sidecar incident at Ballawhetstone. The driver was checked by the course doctor, with the passenger being transferred to Nobles Hospital in Douglas. The result was taken after four laps, with Reeves and Farrance winning from Dave Molyneux and Dan Sayle, with brothers Ben and Tom Birchall third. Eight races are scheduled for Thursday's race programme, including the feature Solo Championship event over nine laps, with a first prize of £3,400 for the winner. In the absence of Guy Martin, who won the race for the last three years, Dunlop, victor in 2011 and 2012, will start as favourite.

Ivan Cavaleiro turned in Helder Costa's cross from close range to give Wolves a half-time lead. Andreas Weimann doubled their advantage with a left-foot shot from the edge of the box before Denis Odoi pulled one back with a deflected effort. But Dave Edwards tucked home another Costa cross to seals Wolves' win. Paul Lambert's side have now won their past three matches to climb to 16th after ending a run of seven games without a victory by beating bottom-of-the-table Rotherham last weekend. With Sheffield Wednesday losing at home to Reading on Friday, a point would have been enough for Fulham to move into the top six. But instead they remain just outside the play-off spots with eight games to play. Wolves were a threat throughout and Ben Marshall forced a good save out of David Button before Cavaleiro tapped in after Costa dispossessed Ryan Fredericks - his first goal since scoring the winner against Bristol City on Boxing Day. Fulham had chances too, with Sone Aluko and Neeskens Kebano going close, but Weimann made it 2-0 soon after half-time with his second goal in three games. The home side replied almost immediately when substitute Odoi's deflected shot from the edge of the box looped past Carl Ikeme, but Edwards' close-range finish for this 10th goal of the season wrapped it up for Wolves. Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic: "We started well, we moved the ball and we created some chances, but we made one very big mistake. "The second half, we tried to take more of a risk, but they scored a second which killed us. It's not easy when you are two goals behind to get a good result. "After playing well against Newcastle, it's part of football. We believe we can make one step and be in the top six before the international break." Wolves head coach Paul Lambert: "On Tuesday against Brentford we were outstanding, but today we surpassed that. "I thought we played a terrific game, with intensity and a game plan that worked, and we looked a threat every time we went forward, against probably the best football team in the league. "Helder Costa has been fantastic, I think he had a little spell where he went off the boil, but the last few games he's been at his best." Match ends, Fulham 1, Wolverhampton Wanderers 3.

But in a letter to the prime minister, more than 20 groups led by the Royal College of Nursing said it could put people off working for the NHS. The government said the changes would create 10,000 more training places. The move comes as nurses and doctors gather for their annual conferences. The RCN conference gets under way in Glasgow on Sunday, while the British Medical Association meets in Belfast from Monday. Currently student nurses, midwives and other staff such as physiotherapists are entitled to bursaries of £4,500 to £5,500 - on top of a grant of £1,000 each year during their training. The course fees are also covered. Those studying for advanced roles, such as district nurses, could also be affected. But the government has proposed scrapping these and introducing university fees to bring health staff in line with other students. Ministers argue that the move will lead to an increase in nurse students - of about 10,000 - as applicants for courses currently outnumber the places available by two to one. This is because there is a cap on places. But the letter, which has been signed by the BMA and the Patients Association, warned it was an "untested gamble" and urged the government to halt the plans to properly consider their impact. RCN general secretary Janet Davies said that as nurses spent about half of their degree course working in the NHS it amounted, in effect, to "asking people to pay to go to work". "It feels very wrong," she added. She also expressed concern about the state of the NHS. Figures released last month showed NHS trusts in England recorded their worst ever deficit in 2015-16 with an overspend of £2.45bn. Meanwhile, performance targets for A&E, ambulance services and cancer care are all being missed in England. Other parts of the UK are also struggling. An online poll of UK nurses by the RCN found only one in 10 thought the health service was able to meet demand. The BMA has released a survey of its own - of 1,240 members of the public in England. It suggested eight in 10 were worried about the future of the health service. The poll - carried out by Britain Thinks - also found fewer than one in five trusted the government with the management of the NHS and only one in eight believed it was getting the money it needed. More than half felt the NHS was going to get worse - with just 14% saying they would expect it to get better. BMA leader Dr Mark Porter said a long-term plan was needed to address the "crisis" in the NHS. "People are increasingly concerned about the future of a health service that they know is under unsustainable pressure." A Department of Health spokeswoman insisted the plans for students would lead to more people studying as the caps would be lifted. But she urged those concerned to take part in the continuing consultations on the issue. A Department of Health spokesman said: "We need more home-grown nurses in the NHS because they do an amazing job caring for patients, but currently two-thirds of people who apply to become a nurse aren't accepted for training. "Our plans mean up to 10,000 more training places by the end of this parliament, with student nurses getting around 25% more financial support whilst they study." On the wider concerns about the NHS, the Department of Health said the extra funding being provided this Parliament would "transform services". Media playback is not supported on this device The Football Association has said it is unlikely because qualification can only come from the Women's World Cup in 2015, in which home nations take part separately. "That's a shame because you see the exposure we got at these Olympics," Arsenal striker Smith told the BBC. "I'm praying that in 2016 in Brazil there is a women's team." The FA has already said that Great Britain will not send a men's team to the 2016 Olympics because they would need to qualify via the European Under-21 Championship. However, Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard revealed he would like to see a British football team compete in Rio. He said: "I think 'why not?' I don't know the politics of it and how it works. But I thought it was very successful and that it would grow in time. It was our first year and I think if we go again next time we'll have more of a flow to us." In the women's case, Britain would have to be one of the top three European teams at the Women's World Cup in 2015. Both the men's and women's team qualified for London 2012 only because of their host status. The desire within the FA, including manager Hope Powell and the players, is to compete in Rio, but unifying the homes nations for World Cup qualifying would signal the end for the chances of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to compete individually. I've played in America for a number of years and the Americans view the Olympic experience as the ultimate, so why can't we have a GB team? Those political issues come after the British women's team made a real impact at the London Olympics, despite being knocked out at the quarter-final stage by Canada. A record British women's football crowd of 70,584 saw the host nation beat Brazil 1-0 at Wembley in their last group game. And Smith, who is England's record goalscorer, wants women's football to build on that success. The 33-year-old added: "We got a tremendous amount of exposure. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To play in [front of] record crowds, to get people to come out and support women's football was fantastic. "Hopefully now we can build on the momentum of that and see more crowds at women's football. I've played in four European Championship and two World Cups, so to add this now to my playing career, it's up there. "I've played in America for a number of years and the Americans view that [the Olympic experience] as the ultimate, so why can't we have a GB team?" British Olympic Association chief executive Andy Hunt showed his support for Team GB football in a tweet to Smith following her interview. Hunt said on Twitter: "Totally agree with your comments re: GB women's football at Rio 2016. It would just be wrong for the FA not to get behind this." In a seperate tweet to Smith, he added: "We need the FA to grasp the importance of the legacy for women's football from Team GB and London 2012." Smith will be aiming to help England qualify for the 2013 European Championship in Sweden when Powell's side take on Croatia at Walsall next month. The problems began about 0700 GMT and meant visitors to the site saw an error message rather than webpages. Sources within the BBC said the sites were offline thanks to what is known as a "distributed denial of service" attack. An earlier statement tweeted by the BBC laid the blame for problems on a "technical issue". In the message the corporation said it was aware of the ongoing trouble and was working to fix it so sites, services and pages were reachable again. At midday it released another statement saying that the BBC website was now "operating normally". "We apologise for any inconvenience you may have experienced," it said. The BBC has yet to confirm or deny that such an attack was responsible for the problems. It is now believed that a web attack technique known as a "distributed denial of service" was causing the patchy response. This aims to knock a site offline by swamping it with more traffic than it can handle. The attack on the BBC hit the main website as well as associated services including the main iPlayer catch-up service and iPlayer Radio app which were also not working properly. Social media reaction to the trouble was swift. Many urged the BBC to get the site back up quickly and lamented how long it was taking to fix the technical troubles. . See more of the tweets By 1030 GMT the site was largely working again though some pages and indexes took longer than normal to load. The BBC's crop of websites have suffered other technical problems in the past. In July 2014, the iPlayer and many of its associated sites were offline for almost an entire weekend. That fault was traced to a database that sits behind the catch-up TV service. Mr Hague said the deteriorating security situation put staff in danger. The move comes as the UN rights council condemned "systematic violations" against civilians by the Syrian regime. Prime Minister David Cameron said the UK is taking steps to build a legal case against President Bashar al-Assad for violently suppressing protests. He said Britain is making sure that experts are available on the Turkish border and elsewhere to collect the evidence. "There will be film evidence, there will be testimony, there will be individuals, there may well be information from the cameraman who recently escaped from Homs," he said. The British prime minister said the aim was to "build a picture that can then make a case that these are crimes against humanity" and that the Syrian president "must be held to account". 'Crisis appeal' "I wish we could do more but we have to be realistic about what we can achieve. But holding them to account, gathering the evidence, using that case to build a case in international law that he can never hide from - that we can do," said Mr Cameron. It comes after he said the international community was exerting maximum pressure on the regime. Mr Cameron has said Britain must be realistic about its capacity to intervene directly, insisting the situation was different to Libya. Meanwhile, the British Red Cross has launched a "crisis appeal", saying Syria urgently needs aid. Mr Hague revealed the decision to withdraw UK diplomats in a written statement laid before Parliament. He said the UK's ambassador, Simon Collis, and other diplomatic staff left Syria on 29 February and would shortly be returning to the UK. He said: "British nationals who remain in Syria despite our longstanding and consistent message to leave the country should contact the embassy of any remaining European Union member state if they require consular assistance." In the statement, Mr Hague said staff and premises were now judged to be at risk but that it "in no way reduces the UK's commitment to active diplomacy to maintain pressure on the Assad regime to end the violence". It is not known how many staff left the embassy on Wednesday. Mr Hague said the UK supported the UN and Arab League special envoy Kofi Annan and that the country would continue to work with main opposition group the Syrian National Council. The UK will continue to retain a dialogue with the Syrian embassy in London. The US closed its embassy in Syria and several European countries, including the UK, recalled their ambassadors last month. Mr Cameron told Channel Five news: "We've been pushing for resolutions at the United Nations, we've been working with the Syrian opposition to try and encourage them be more inclusive. "I think we have to keep up that pressure. But we do have to recognise... there are big differences between the situation in Libya and the situation in Syria. "I wish we could do more but we have to be realistic about what we can achieve about holding them to account. Gathering the evidence, using that evidence to build a case in international law that he can never hide from - that we can do." On Thursday, the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva condemned the Syrian government for violating the human rights of the country's people. Its resolution, which was supported by 37 nations, called for the regime to allow access for aid agencies, and demanded an immediate halt to the violence. China, Russia and Cuba voted against the resolution. The British Red Cross has said that Syrian people urgently need food, medicine and other aid. In a statement, the charity said it had already given more than £500,000 to support humanitarian work in the country since May last year but more needed to be done. The Syrian Arab Red Crescent and International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) have also been carrying out aid missions in the country. Marianne Gasser, head of the ICRC's delegation in Syria, said: "The population, particularly the wounded and sick, are bearing the brunt of the violence." The action comes as Syrian forces, a day after launching a ground assault on the Baba Amr district. Activists say more than 7,500 people have died since the uprising against Mr Assad's government began last March. The government, however, says at least 1,345 members of the security forces have been killed combating "armed gangs and terrorists", and puts the number of civilians killed at 2,493. He died close to his childhood home in Gladstone, Oregon, on Saturday due to complications from diabetes. James was best known for appearing alongside Sir Roger Moore in the Bond films Live and Let Die and The Man with the Golden Gun during the 1970s. His daughter Lynn said: "He was the most outgoing person, beloved by everybody." She added: "I don't think the man had an enemy. We were incredibly blessed to have had him in our lives." In 1973 James played Louisiana sheriff JW Pepper in Live and Let Die, in which he made a memorable appearance in a chaotic boat chase sequence. His character proved so popular he was asked to reprise the role in 1974's The Man with the Golden Gun, involving another car chase, in Thailand, and a scene where he gets pushed into water by a baby elephant. Paying tribute on Twitter, Sir Roger wrote: "Terribly sad to hear Clifton James has left us. As JW Pepper he gave my first two Bond films a great, fun character." While many James Bond characters either feature once or have recurring roles in the series, Sherriff Pepper is among a select few characters to have featured in just two different titles. Here are four others: Sylvia Trench: A love interest of Bond played by Eunice Gayson. She appeared alongside Sir Sean Connery in the 1962 film Dr No, as well as 1963's From Russia with Love. Jaws: One of Bond's most famous villains, Jaws was played by the late Richard Kiel. The character appeared with Sir Roger Moore in the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me and later in 1979's Moonraker. Valentin Zukovsky: An ex-KGB agent turned Russian mafia head who was portrayed by Robbie Coltrane. He featured with Pierce Brosnan in the 1995 film GoldenEye and 1999's The World is Not Enough. Rene Mathis: A French intelligence operative played by Giancarlo Giannini. He appeared alongside Daniel Craig in the 2006 film Casino Royale and 2008's Quantum of Solace. James grew up just outside Portland during the heart of the Great Depression, in which his family lost all their money. He served as a soldier with the US Army in the South Pacific during World War Two, for which he was awarded two Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze star. His acting career spanned five decades and included stints on stage, TV and film. Other credits include appearing in the TV series Dallas and films Superman II and The Bonfire of the Vanities. His last film credit was a 2006 comedy, Raising Flagg but he had also been cast to star in an upcoming independent film called Old Soldiers, according to IMDB. French authorities are recommending that women should have PIP implants removed as a precautionary measure. But the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) says none of the evidence into possible links with cancer supports removal. It is estimated that up to 40,000 British women have the PIP silicone implants. Women with these implants have contacted the BBC to talk about their experiences. Here, they share their concerns.

I thought about having an operation for years and then in 2007 I took out a bank loan to get the surgery. But now I am in debt as I am not working and can't pay off these faulty implants. After two years I got shooting pains and burning sensations in my breasts. I am really worried as my GP will not send me for an ultrasound scan because of the expense. My original surgeon has now retired. The clinic I went to also not give me a ultrasound. I am really scared these implants are like a ticking time-bomb waiting to explode. When I had them done I was over the moon - I was like a new person. People were noticing a change in me I was full of confidence and very bubbly. Now I'm just drained and depressed. I am very, very angry as I am a single parent and on benefits. I can't afford to have them done again. The thought of going back to the way I was is tearing me up inside. I had PIP implants about nine years ago. I heard the news about PIP implants last year. A friend of mine who also had the PIP implants a few years after me had ruptures in her implants. I have now decided to have them replaced. I will be seeing a recommended surgeon in January. I do think I should get some help with the cost but I'm not holding my breath. Hopefully the implants are still intact. I will not know until I see my surgeon. When I first got the implants, my consultant said that if all was well they could last for 20 years. But I read that they would last only 10 years. Also, the surgeon said even if the implants split, the filling will not leak because they consist of a cohesive gel. But this is not the case. What happens to all these ladies who can't afford surgery again? For me, the price will be double the original cost, but I want peace of mind. I had a mastectomy for breast cancer in 2007 and during the same operation they put in a PIP implant. It was done by one of France's top surgeons at a well-known and well-respected institute/hospital in Paris where I live. I've had follow-up scans since March 2010 when the news broke. But since the scans were showing that the implant hadn't ruptured I was happy to follow the health agency's advice to wait before having it removed. Now that we're hearing discussions about removing the PIP implants, I'm seriously regretting my decision to wait. It's a horrible situation to be in, whether you've had cancer or not. But particularly if you've had cancer. Some women have already been through so much, with so many operations and treatments, to add this worry on top is absolutely horrendous. What is worse is how slow the government is being with finding who was responsible at PIP and putting them in jail. The big question is why is the government dragging its feet? Is it because it's actually the health agency that has failed to notice the problem in time? I have an appointment with my surgeon in January and I will be putting myself under the knife once again, thanks to penny-pinching at PIP. I had these implants in February 2010 - just six weeks before they were recalled. I deliberately went to get them done at a reputable place at a cost of £4,250. I belong to a PIP implants support group on social media and I know other women who have the implants - we have been completely abandoned by the private surgeons who have used these implants. They have no protective shell to stop our lymph glands from filling up with silicone. We have no-one to answer to this, and our only option seems to be to pay for them to be removed, and be left with nothing but empty, damaged breasts, through no fault of our own. Observers say the deal has proved controversial among Somaliland's neighbours in the Horn of Africa. The UAE already has a military facility at Eritrea's Assab port for use in a campaign against Yemeni rebels. It is part of a coalition that has fought Houthi rebels and imposed a naval blockade on Yemen since 2015. More than 10,000 people have been killed and 40,000 wounded since then, according to the UN. Somaliland's President Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo told MPs the military base would help create jobs, the Associated Press agency reports. During the parliamentary vote, 144 legislators supported the military base, two voted against, two abstained - and nine others who opposed the plan and shouted in the chamber were escorted out by soldiers. Last year, Somaliland, which declared itself independent from the rest of Somalia in 1991, signed a $442m (£353m) deal for a Dubai-based firm to upgrade the port of Berbera, which mainly exports livestock to the Middle East. Why Somaliland? By Tomi Oladipo, BBC Monitoring Africa security correspondent The Horn of Africa is strategic for Gulf nations because of ongoing military operations in Yemen and in the long term to protect their shipping interests in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Djibouti has been the regional hub for foreign military bases, but now faces competition from its next-door neighbour. In Somaliland, the UAE has an alternative and less controversial location for a military base than Eritrea, which is under UN sanctions. The Emiratis will also provide much-needed training and equipment for Somaliland forces. The threat posed by militant Islamist group al-Shabab in Somalia has been largely kept at bay in the breakaway region - having a stronger local force backed by an international partner will shore up this stability. Its port in Berbera is not solely for military use. Its expansion could provide Somaliland with more robust economic opportunities, particularly targeting its landlocked neighbour Ethiopia. But as Somaliland is not internationally recognised, the authorities will need to be wary of any legal complications that could arise, given the UN-backed government of Somalia was not party to the base or expansion of Berbera. Yemen, across the Gulf of Aden from Somaliland, spiralled into civil war in 2014 when Houthi rebels overran the capital. The Saudi-led coalition has since deployed warships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. It says the naval operation is to stop the Houthis receiving weapons from Iran, which backs the rebels but denies providing military support. The Premiership leaders have announced pre-season dates with the Serie A team, Leicester City and Barcelona. The match against Inter on 13 August will celebrate the 50th anniversary season of Celtic's 1967 European Cup triumph against the Italians. The venue has yet to be confirmed, with Scottish sides having the right to opt out of early league fixtures. Leicester, currently top of the English Premier League, will visit Celtic Park on 23 July, while the Barcelona game will take place in Dublin seven days later. Should Celtic win a fifth successive title, they will feature in the second round of Champions League qualification, with the first leg scheduled for 12 or 13 July and second leg on the 19 or 20 July. The first leg of the third round of qualifying would be on 26-27 July, with the play-off round beginning on 16-17 August. Sir Howard Davies told the BBC the bank feared a plummeting pound would make a looming multi-billion dollar US fine more costly. Sterling fell from $1.50 to a 31-year low against the dollar on the Brexit vote and is now worth $1.29. RBS is awaiting a fine for its role in the 2007 US housing market collapse. Sir Howard told the Today programme the bank, which is 73%-owned by the taxpayer, had acted to protect itself in the event the dollar strengthened against the pound. "I can't tell you for how much, but yes we did notice that, and we bought some protection," he said. Like several big banks, including Barclays and Deustche Bank, RBS is in talks with US authorities to settle a long-running investigation into its sale of investment bonds based on sub-prime mortgages in the US. Analysts have speculated that the size of the eventual fine that could be imposed on RBS may be as much as £9bn. The 10% fall in the exchange rate between sterling and the dollar since the referendum vote means RBS could have saved itself £900m. RBS shares have also plunged sharply since the vote, falling from north of 260p to about 160p. Sir Howard said the fall in the bank's share price was the result of the bank's direct exposure to the British economy. "The market thinks there is going to be a slowdown in the UK economy, and if you are a big domestic bank you can't hide from what's going on," he said. Sir Howard would not be drawn on whether the government's planned sale of shares in RBS was now on hold but he said it was a "realistic" conclusion to think it would be delayed. The government had said it wanted to sell part of its stake before the next election. Last week, RBS's chief executive, Ross McEwan, said a two-year delay was likely. Sir Howard was one of the bank bosses who yesterday met the Chancellor, George Osborne, to discuss the Brexit vote fallout. The RBS chairman said the bank was ready and willing to lend. "Last time (the 2008 crisis and recession) the situation was that demand for credit, but so was supply, because the banks had to build up their reserves. That is not the case this time round. We are not capital-constrained and we are able to lend." The hoard, which is valued at £3.2m, was found in a farmer's field near Burntwood, Staffordshire in July 2009. With 4,000 objects, it is the largest cache of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork ever discovered. The Institute for Conservation has shortlisted Birmingham Museum's work for the Keck prize. The institute, a charity that promotes the preservation of historical and artistic works, gives out the award every two years. It is meant to be given to "the individual or group who has contributed most towards promoting public understanding and appreciation of the accomplishments of the conservation profession". The hoard is displayed across four sites, at the Potteries Museum, Lichfield Cathedral, Tamworth Castle and Birmingham Museum. The artefacts have been dated to the 7th and 8th Centuries. The institute praised the fact the hoard was on display throughout conservation and research work. Previous winners of the Keck prize include the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Written by researchers from UN University it details how much e-waste different regions discard. Old microwaves, washing machines, dishwashers and other household items made up the bulk of the waste. Only 16% of the items discarded found their way into proper recycling and re-use schemes. The report found the US was the nation which disposed of most electronic waste with 7,072 kilotonnes generated in 2014. China was second (6,032 kilotonnes) and Japan third (2,200 kilotonnes). European nations topped the rankings of regions measured by how much waste each citizen generated. In Norway, each inhabitant did away with about 28.4kg of electronic waste, found the report. Across Africa levels of e-waste generated per inhabitant were lower at 1.7kg per person. The report said rising levels of discarded electronic equipment were being driven by the growing popularity of domestic electronics and because many modern devices did not last as long as older versions of the same products. Far more should be done to capture e-waste and "mine" the valuable resources used to make such equipment, said UN under-secretary-general David Malone, rector of the UN University. "Worldwide, e-waste constitutes a valuable 'urban mine' - a large potential reservoir of recyclable materials," he said. Buried within the 41.8 million tonnes of waste was more than 16,000 kilotonnes of iron, 1,900 kilotonnes of copper and 300 tonnes of gold as well as other precious metals such as palladium. The combined value of all these valuable resources was about $52bn (£35bn) estimated the report. In addition, said Mr Malone, the massive amount of waste represented a potential toxic stockpile as many of the devices used materials, such as lead, that were hazardous which needed to be disposed of carefully. A four-year investigation of the site has firmly concluded that humans lived there and, in particular, made a meal of a mastodon 14,550 years ago. This is more than a millennium earlier than humans were thought to have settled the south-eastern US. The findings are reported in the open access journal Science Advances. They reinforce the idea that humans settled the Americas well before the Clovis people arrived about 13,000 years ago. For many years, the Clovis were thought to have been "the first Americans". In fact, the mastodon tusk that is the centrepiece of the Florida haul, complete with apparent cut marks and accompanying tools, was first found and dated in the 1980s - but the discovery gained little traction. "[It] was an impossible date for the scientific community to accept at the time, because it was well accepted that the Americas were colonised by the Clovis people, who arrived on the continent over the Bering land bridge no longer than 13,500 years ago at the oldest," said Jessi Halligan, lead author of the new study and assistant professor of anthropology at Florida State University. That view, however, has gradually been revised as more and more evidence accumulates that humans arrived thousands of years earlier - perhaps as early as 16,000 years ago, when the last ice age was only beginning to thaw. But that evidence is sparsely scattered across the continent, and the new study provides the first comprehensive claim for such a presence in the south-east of the US. The researchers re-examined the original mastodon tusk in detail, as well as collecting a wealth of further evidence from the same murky sinkhole 10m under the waters of the Aucilla River. That additional haul included many more tools, animal bones, and dung samples whose chewed-up vegetable matter allowed for conclusive, accurate carbon dating. Before the river and sediments were laid down, this area appears to have contained a water hole where both animals and humans gathered. The mastadon was either hunted or scavenged, and butchered using tools like the small stone knives - called "bifaces" in archaeology - which were found at the scene. "These excavations were successful beyond our dreams," Dr Halligan told journalists in a teleconference. One of her co-authors, Prof Michael Waters from Texas A&M University, has been involved in the debate about human settlement of the Americas for many years. "The site is a slam-dunk pre-Clovis site with unequivocal artefacts, clear stratigraphy and thorough dating," he said. "The stone tools and faunal remains at the site show that at 14,550 years ago, people knew how to find game, fresh water and material for making tools. These people were well-adapted to this environment." Follow Jonathan on Twitter On Thursday reports surfaced that a Russian hacker called Tessa88 was asking for 10 bitcoins (£4,000) for access to a list of 32 million names. In a blogpost, Twitter said it was confident that the data had not come from a hack attack on its servers. But after scrutinising the list, it had locked some accounts and users would need to reset their passwords. "The purported Twitter @names and passwords may have been amassed from combining information from other recent breaches, malware on victim machines that are stealing passwords for all sites, or a combination of both," wrote Michael Coates, chief security officer at Twitter, in the blogpost. Security firm Leaked Source, which first shared information about the list, said its analysis suggested the information came from PCs infected with data-stealing malware. Twitter's cross-checking of the list showed that some of the log-in data being offered was real, said Mr Coates, and led to the micro-blogging service locking those accounts and forcing a password reset. He said Twitter had taken similar action in recent weeks as data from other breaches became publicly available. He did not say how many of the supposedly stolen log-ins were legitimate or how many accounts had been locked. Some security experts have expressed doubt about whether all the information in the list of 32 million log-in names is genuine. Per Thorsheim, who advises companies about security and safe log-in procedures, said he was "sceptical" about the data but added that he had not had chance to look through it himself. "A 32 million leak doesn't make sense," he said. "It could be a very old leak from when Twitter only had 32 million users, it could be a chunk of the full dataset from a recent breach or what I usually think - it's just made-up junk." Troy Hunt, who maintains an online repository of breach data, told technology news site Ars Technica that he too had his doubts about the list. "I'm highly sceptical that there's a trove of 32 million accounts with legitimate credentials for Twitter," he said. "The likelihood of that many records being obtained independently of a data breach and them being usable against active Twitter accounts is extremely low." The sale of the Twitter list comes in the wake of a series of "mega-breaches" which have seen data stolen from companies many years ago now being widely shared. More than 600 million passwords feature in the massive data dumps. Cyberthieves are keen to get at this data because many people reuse log-in names and passwords so finding a working combination on one service may unlock many others. The 28-year-old 2013 World Triathlon Series champion had not raced on the World Cup circuit since 2011. Stanford, from Wales, led for much of the Chengdu Triathlon World Cup as she clinched gold while Germany's Laura Lindemann won silver and Kirsten Kasper of the USA won bronze. Meanwhile, in the men's event, Australia's Matthew Hauser won gold. Hauser's compatriot Luke Willian took bronze while Azerbaijan's Rostislav Pevtsov won silver. Britain's Sophie Coldwell finished 17 seconds behind Stanford in sixth while compatriots Jessica Learmonth and Lucy Hall came 11th and 12th respectively. In the men's event, Britons Gordon Benson and Ben Dijkstra came 19th and 20th respectively. The event was the first semi-final and final format of the year consisting of two events held over two days. In Saturday's semi-final, athletes took part in a 750m swim, 20km bike ride and 5km run, with the men's field having three rounds where the top nine qualified. This was followed by the next top three fastest times to complete the 30 competitors in Sunday's final. The top 14 women from two semi-final heats along with the next two fastest finishers created a field of 30 qualifiers for their final. Profit for the quarter from April to June fell to 5.75tn won (£3.2bn, $4.9bn), down 8% from last year. The results are in line with the South Korean company's earnings guidance, given earlier this month. The firm's smartphone section continues to suffer from stiff competition from Apple's iPhone and cheaper Chinese rivals. The result marks the fifth straight quarterly profit drop for the company. "While the numbers are in line with what's been expected, the real story is that Samsung used to be this huge industry giant, dominating the smartphone field. And now that giant seems to be tumbling under pressure from Apple in the top-segment and cheaper Chinese competitors," Bryan Ma, vice president of client devices research at technology consultants IDC, told the BBC. He said the company could in theory compete with the cheaper Chinese rivals "but it would hurt their margins. And then, even with good sales, it would hurt their profit." "When it comes to competing with the iPhone - Apple has an entire ecosystem around their devices which Samsung just doesn't have." Profit for the mobile division though fell to 2.76tn won from 4.42tn won a year earlier. Samsung said that sales of its Galaxy S6 smartphone fell short of expectations because the company could not meet the demand for its flagship model. According to the vice president for mobile business, Park Jin-Young, the company hopes to see its phone sales increase in the coming quarter with new large-screen and budget models to be launched. Samsung has seen profits sag since late 2013 due to increasing competition in the smartphone market the company had dominated for years. What used to drive the company, Ma explains, was their strength in hardware and engineering. "That's what gave them the edge in the past - they were for instance ahead of Apple with their large screen phablets. If they manage to stay ahead of the curve, they can still turn things around." The firm's best performance for the quarter came from its semiconductor department, helping to narrow the profit decline. The man, who cannot be named, told Merthyr Crown Court the incidents took place at the Trealaw Clinic in Pentre, Rhondda Cynon Taff, in 2011. Dr Brian Harris, 77, worked for the NHS and in a private practice in Cardiff for 40 years. He denies 13 counts of sexual assault, indecent assault and rape against five men between 1991 and 2011. The jury of seven women and five men was shown a police interview with one of his alleged victims. Breaking down in tears, the 49-year-old support worker said he felt he could not talk about the alleged assaults at the time. He said: "Who would listen? I hadn't been well - the biggest thing was, would I be believed?" The man was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and also suffered from depression. He said Dr Harris quizzed him about his physical and sexual relationship with a man he was in a relationship with. On one occasion, which he described as "bizarre", he said Dr Harris took him into a room they did not normally use and showed him how to do press-ups. Another time, he said the doctor instructed him to undress so he could examine him and then touched him. "I was very uneasy," he said. "I remember thinking, 'please don't touch me'." Eventually he reported the behaviour to another member of the mental health team. The trial continues. The four companies are said to have rigged prices for eight years. BASF and Standard bank were also sued in the first lawsuit of its kind in the US. The four defendants declined to comment. Modern Settings, a Florida-based maker of jewellery and police badges, said purchasers lost millions of dollars. The Florida company filed the complaint in Manhattan federal court. Platinum and palladium are used in jewellery, cars and dentistry. The companies were accused of having conspired since 2007 to rig the twice-daily platinum and palladium fixings. It is alleged that the companies illegally shared customer data and then used that information to engage in front running. Front running is a form of market manipulation in which traders profit by using information about their clients' trading intentions. Traders will often know how a particular client order will affect the market and can place their own trades ahead of that order to benefit. The four companies in this case are also accused of manufacturing "spoof" orders. Last month , the London Metal Exchange said it will take charge of platinum and palladium price fixing, and use a new electronic platform from the 1st December. However, the lawsuit said those changes "have come too late". Goldman, HSBC and Standard Bank declined to comment. A spokeswoman for BASF, the world's largest chemicals maker, said the group could not comment because it had not been notified of the complaint. International regulators have tightened scrutiny of pricing benchmarks in recent years. The tighter regulation comes after a currency trading scandal and the Libor scandal, which fixed a benchmark interest rate. Investigators found that at least 172 women and girls were abducted and subjected to sexual violence, it added. One woman was "dragged out of her hut and gang-raped in front of her three-year old child", the report said. The government denies its army has committed atrocities but says it will study the report. The UN Mission in South Sudan (Unmiss) said abuses during the 18-month civil war had reached a new scale of intensity and horror in recent fighting in the oil-producing Unity State. "Survivors spoke of a campaign against the local population that killed civilians, looted and destroyed villages," the report said. "Some of the most disturbing allegations compiled by Unmiss human rights officers focused on the abduction and sexual abuse of women and girls, some of whom were reportedly burnt alive in their dwellings," it added. The report added that in one incident, a woman was made to hold red-hot coals in her hands in an attempt to force her to reveal the whereabouts of rebel fighters. President Salva Kiir's spokesman Ateng Wek Ateng told the BBC he did not believe that troops would commit atrocities against their own people. However, he said the allegations contained in the report were "too serious to ignore". The government would study the report, and take appropriation, he added. The military launched a major offensive against rebel forces in April, with fierce fighting in Unity state's northern Mayom district, once a key oil producing area. The civil war began in December 2013 after Mr Kiir accused his sacked deputy Riek Machar of plotting a coup. Mr Machar denied the allegation, but then formed a rebel army to fight the government. Various efforts to mediate an end to the conflict in South Sudan, the world's newest state, have failed. Earlier this month, a UN humanitarian co-ordinator in the country, Toby Lanzer, was expelled by the government. Reports say he was kicked out for highlighting the plight of those caught in the conflict. The OSCE said that an increase in violence, particularly in the south-east, "restricted some contestants' ability to campaign freely". It also criticised curbs on media freedom. Earlier Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the world to respect the result of Sunday's election. Meanwhile, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) went further and denounced the entire process as "unfair". In a statement on Monday, Ignacio Sanchez Amor, head of the OSCE observer mission, said: "Physical attacks on party members, as well as the significant security concerns, particularly in the south-east" had affected campaigning. He added that pressure on journalists - including a police raid on the Koza-Ipek media group in Istanbul last week - was a major concern. "Unfortunately, the campaign for these elections was characterized by unfairness and, to a serious degree, fear," said Andreas Gross, Head of the PACE delegation. Responding to reports of pressure on journalists, the White House spokesman John Earnest said the US had urged Turkey "to uphold universal democratic values." With almost all ballots counted, state-run Anadolu news agency said the AKP had won 49.4% of the vote, with the main opposition CHP on 25.4%. President Erdogan hailed the result early on Monday, saying: "The national will manifested itself on 1 November in favour of stability." But he also attacked media criticism of him and called for global recognition of the election result. Gavin Hewitt: President's triumph leaves Turkey polarised Erdogan: Turkey's bruised battler Lira strengthens after result Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu will now begin the process of forming a new government. Mr Erdogan called the second general election this year after the AKP lost its parliamentary majority for the first time in 13 years in June, and attempts to form a coalition failed. The pro-Kurdish HDP crossed the 10% threshold needed to claim seats in parliament, but it got 21 fewer seats than in June's election. The nationalist MHP's share of the vote also declined, to 11.9%, and commentators suggested it had lost voters to the AKP. Reported results also showed: Clashes were reported in the mainly Kurdish city of Diyarbakir, in the south-east of Turkey, as the results were being counted. Reuters said police had fired tear gas at protesters throwing stones. Since elections in June, a ceasefire between the Turkish army and militants from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) has collapsed. Critics have accused Mr Erdogan of renewing violence to curb support for the HDP - something the government denies. HDP co-chair Selahattin Demirtas said on Sunday that it had not been "a fair or equal election". The party suspended campaigning after a bombing in Ankara last month killed more than 100 people. The government said the attackers were linked to the Islamic State (IS) group. Violence has escalated in Turkey since a suicide bombing in July by suspected IS militants. The attack near the border with Syria killed more than 30 Kurds. Turkish newspaper front pages reflect the contrasting euphoria and gloom from government supporters and opponents at the election result. "Ballot box revolution" declares Sabah, echoed by Aksam's "November revolution". Pro-Islamist papers are equally jubilant, with Yeni Safak hailing a "magnificent victory", and Yeni Akit offering "congratulations to the Muslim world". The independent mass-circulation Hurriyet and Milliyet focus on the scale of the ruling AKP's win. Opposition papers accuse the authorities of scaring voters with the prospect of civil strife. Cumhuriyet sees the "victory of fear", while the Sozcu tabloid thinks "terror has increased". The left-wing daily Taraf accuses President Erdogan of using a "chaos plan" to whip up public insecurity, and the pro-Kurdish Ozgur Gundem predicts a "new era of struggle". By BBC Monitoring Media playback is not supported on this device The 19-year-old pounced twice in six first-half minutes after Ryan Christie's opener, and completed his treble after the break. On-loan Celtic player Christie bagged a second on the stroke of half-time. The midfielder's goal came after Jonny Hayes finished a sumptuous attacking move to score the Dons' fourth. The Firhill rout means Aberdeen have recorded their highest-ever top-flight points tally, finishing on a total of 76, 30 behind champions Celtic in second place. After their midweek dismantling by Brendan Rodgers' men, Thistle have now conceded 11 goals in their final two league fixtures. Aberdeen could have been forgiven for going through the motions in a final league match that paled in significance compared to next week's Scottish Cup final meeting with Celtic. But it soon became apparent they had no intention of finishing the league season in anything but the style that has propelled them comfortably to the runners-up spot once again. From the moment Christie fired past the beleaguered Thistle keeper Mark Ridgers, they had the bit between their teeth, playing with energy, drive and no little skill. Wright took his first goal well but Aberdeen's third was hugely impressive as Kenny McLean played a perfectly-weighted pass for Wright to smash home. The fourth and fifth were also a joy to watch - Adam Rooney's clever dummy allowing Hayes to slide in and Christie superbly hammering Andrew Considine's cross past Ridgers. Derek McInnes probably had a pretty good idea of his team for Saturday's Hampden finale before this match, but Wright's performance may just have given him additional food for thought. By the time the 19-year-old had notched his third via the aid of a deflection, his pace, trickery and eye for goal had already bamboozled Thistle. Granted Celtic are a different proposition and Wright is unlikely to keep Niall McGinn out of the starting line-up on such a big occasion, but McInnes knows he has an exciting option in the young forward. Ryan Jack's return to action off the bench, along with Peter Pawlett, means McInnes will have as close to a full-strength squad to pick from as possible, but the enforced absence of Christie is a blow, albeit one the manager will have long prepared for. Thistle have faced both cup finalists in successive games and have shipped 11 goals with no reply. Alan Archibald's squad has run out of steam in dramatic fashion since clinching a top-six spot, with no wins in their final six matches. With 10 first-team players unavailable to Archibald for this match, the manager was forced to list only five players on the bench, with all four outfield players inexperienced youths. Ross Fleming, Mark Lamont and Neil McLaughlin were all thrown on in an unforgiving environment and should not be damaged in the long-term despite a humiliating defeat, which got no worse primarily because Aberdeen eased off in the final half-hour, preserving their energy for the biggest match of the season. Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald: "We'd 10 key first-team players out and I think it showed. There were a couple of guys playing out of position and didn't handle it very well and we were playing a good side as well. "Our fans have been outstanding. You heard them singing throughout the game. I think they recognised today that we were up against it but it does leave a bit of a bad taste in the way we've finished the season. Media playback is not supported on this device "It lets us reflect over the summer. We won't be thinking we're this or we're that, there's realisation there we've got a lot of work to do." Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes: "We scored some really fantastic goals, got some really strong individual performances, the clean sheet, minutes into players and real positives with young Scott Wright getting the hat-trick. "I'm really pleased to come through without any injuries, which was the most important thing. To get 76 points and break our own record for a team outwith the Old Firm, I've been delighted with what the players have given me this league campaign, they deserve so much credit. "Every day is an opportunity. We just said to Scott (Wright) go and play the way you've been training, which is really positive, and the way the game was, we managed to get that first pass into him and made it a running game for him and when he can run at people he lights the game up."

Bu'n gweithio fel sgriptiwr ar gyfer teledu a radio, a chyhoeddodd gerddi i blant a nofel i'r arddegau, Creadyn, a enillodd Wobr Tir na n-Og yn 2006. Daeth yn agos at ennill y Goron yn Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Maldwyn a'r Gororau, 2003, ond ar ôl hynny, ychydig iawn o farddoni a wnaeth.

After the 11:00 BST start was delayed until 14:30 BST, Daniel Bell-Drummond (68) and Kent skipper Sam Northeast (64) took the attack to the bowlers. Alex Blake added an unbeaten 36 while Somerset's Lewis Gregory claimed 3-37. Somerset were never in the chase as they lost regular wickets to slump to 136 all out in just 24.2 overs. At one stage Somerset were 64-6, before a quick-fire seventh-wicket stand of 53 between Roelof van der Merwe (29) and Alex Barrow (27) made sure the visitors reached three figures. Earlier, Kent opener Bell-Drummond, who has been in superb form this summer in all three formats, shared 72 for the second wicket with Northeast in nine overs, striking eight fours and one six in his 51-ball innings. Northeast was equally as impressive, reaching his half-century in just 35 balls, while Blake provided the impetus at the end of the innings smashing Craig Overton for two fours and two sixes in the 29th over. The defeat was Somerset's first in four South Group matches, while Kent have won two out of three.

£530m has been set aside to push "superfast" broadband to the UK's countryside by the end of 2015. Telecoms regulator Ofcom has defined "superfast" broadband as speeds greater than 24Mbps. Countryside campaigners said the deadline would add momentum to the rollout. The government scheme is designed to help telecoms companies provide broadband in areas they might otherwise claim it would not be economically viable to be offered. The government wants 90% of homes and businesses to have access to "superfast" broadband by 2015. In addition to the high-speed target, the government also wants everyone to be offered at least two megabit per second (Mbps) speeds. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have already been given their share of the money which was set aside from the TV licence fee. England's local authorities can apply for money on condition they provide matching funds. This cash can be sourced from their own budgets, European programmes and other sources. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport announced in Augusthow much each area could expect to receive. They have until the end of February to submit a draft plan, and until the end of April to negotiate the full details of the scheme with central government officials. The Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt said he was confident the authorities would meet the new timetable. "Superfast broadband is fundamental to our future economic success," he said. "Some local authorities will find these to be challenging targets... [but it] is simply too important for creating the growth we need to allow the rollout to be delayed." A further £300m is due to be available after 2015. Campaign group, the Countryside Alliance, described the news as a welcome development. Last Friday it used Freedom of Information requests to reveal that four areas named more than a year ago as pilots for superfast rural broadband had yet to start work on their projects. "As we saw last week, councils have been struggling to get their broadband projects moving," said the group's chief executive, Alice Bernard. "It is now up to the government to make sure that any further barriers to progress on implementing these schemes are removed, so that rural communities can finally get fast and reliable connections and start to bridge Britain's digital divide." Companies including BT, Cable & Wireless and Fujitsu have already submitted bids to build networks in various areas. However, there have been complaints that in many cases the sums being offered are still too small and the process to obtain the money is slow and complicated. Campaigners have also questioned whether council officials involved have the technical expertise to make the right judgements.

English councils wanting to roll out high-speed internet links have been given until February to apply for government cash.

My visit to the Norwegian city of Lillehammer a few weeks ago reaffirmed my conviction that the Scandinavians really are a class act. Those who follow these things would remember that Lillehammer was the host city for the 1994 Winter Olympics. I remember the images of a pretty town on television but then I know that the camera can portray my home city Accra as a pretty town when I know the reality to be somewhat different. You can take it from me that Lillehammer is as picturesque and pretty as anything you have seen on television. It is a small town of about 26,000 people and the first thing I wondered when I arrived at the train station was how they had managed to host the Winter Olympics. But I was soon to discover that organising big numbers in small places comes to them easily. Indeed, as I looked on in amazement at the smooth running of the conference I was attending, I wondered about what lessons to take back with me. And the more I looked on, it occurred to me, it was the might-have-been that was the most important. I have written on other occasions about the unmanaged population growth of Ghana. I have drawn attention to the fact that at Ghana's independence in 1957, we had a population about the same as Norway. However, 58 years later, Norway still has a population of just over five million people and Ghana has almost 28 million people, according to the latest figures from the statistics department. I know this is not a popular subject in Ghana and every time I have tried to raise it, I have been met with hostility from many quarters. But I still think that there must be a lesson somewhere we can learn in having a manageable-sized population. Elizabeth Ohene: "It seems to me we are looking to the Norwegians for the wrong lessons" If Norway had been growing at the same rate of population as we have been doing and they were also now about 28 million people, the country would not be as wealthy as it is today. Even if they were increasing at half our rate of population growth, they would still not have the disposable income that they have today. I acknowledge that it is not only in the rate of population growth that the Norwegians are different from us; but the orderliness and cleanliness that one finds in Norway must have something to do with there not being too much pressure on facilities. More on Africa's population: And then there is the critical problem of the proper and judicious use of public funds, for which the Norwegians are famous. This is the country that has shamed the rest of the world by investing huge portions of its oil revenue for what it terms, "generations yet unborn", in acknowledgement of the fact that the oil will be finished one day. Indeed, when we discovered oil in Ghana, Norway was the country we turned to for advice on the management of the revenue and our members of parliament have made endless journeys to learn how to use our oil revenue properly. It seems to me we are looking to the Norwegians for the wrong lessons. Before Norway discovered oil, they had already finished with their basic infrastructure of roads, railways, ports, schools, hospitals and homes, etc. Here we are in 2015 and we are nowhere near even agreeing on where to start. What is more, we think we should be increasing our numbers. If there is any lesson to learn, it should be in managing the size of our population. Now that Ghana's own Cardinal Peter Turkson has recently spoken out about population growth and the impacts of climate change, and mentioned "birth control", maybe there will now be a conversation on population in Ghana. But the chances of there being a small-sized, well-managed, pretty little town like Lillehammer in Ghana does not seem likely in my lifetime.

They say dozens of people are still missing since the landslide on Saturday night at the Koshe landfill. A resident said 150 people were there at the time. A number of makeshift houses are now buried under tonnes of waste. The area has been a dumping ground for Addis Ababa's rubbish for more than five decades. A city spokeswoman told AP news agency that many children were among the dead. There are fears the death toll could rise further. Local resident Musa Suleiman Abdulah told AFP he heard "a big sound" and saw "something like a tornado... rushing to us" when the landslide occurred. Tebeju Asres said that the family's house had been swallowed by the landslide. "My mother and three of my sisters were there when the landslide happened. Now I don't know the fate of all of them," he told AP. Hundreds of people attempt to make a living by scavenging at the landfill site, sifting through the rubbish for items they can sell, the BBC's Emmanuel Igunza in Addis Ababa reports. Some people even resided at the rubbish dump permanently. The authorities have been building Africa's first waste-to-energy plant near the landfill. They plan to burn rubbish generated by the capital's estimated four million people and convert it into electricity. The 37-year-old American took her second match point on teenager Kuzmova's serve to win 6-3 3-6 6-2. Williams has seven Grand Slam singles titles, while Kuzmova was making her main-draw debut at tour level. "I didn't do a lot wrong, she just just stepped it up," said Williams, who is aiming for her first major since 2008. Williams, who has not won the title at Flushing Meadows since 2001, reached her first Slam final since 2009 when she lost to Garbine Muguruza at Wimbledon earlier this year. Victory would make her the oldest female Grand Slam champion in the Open era, and could see her return to top of the world rankings for the first time since July 2002. Williams is one of seven women left in the draw who could reach top spot, with British number one Johanna Konta's chance disappearing when she suffered a shock defeat by Serbia's Aleksandra Krunic. "I just want to win, and if you win you get the ranking. Winning is all I want to do," added Williams. That's what the rhetoric is suggesting. But details of the ground-breaking announcements on health and social care in Greater Manchester are still patchy. The jury will be out for a while, but opinion formers in the health world are favourably disposed at this stage. News of such significance is often trailed in a controlled way with a few outlines released in advanced followed by the full package at a pre-planned press conference. It was nothing of the sort this time. The announcement was a genuine surprise - there had been no nudges and winks in preceding weeks. It was leaked by over-eager councillors in the Manchester area briefing BBC Radio Manchester and the Manchester Evening News. Well done to them on a fine scoop. I gather NHS England chiefs were livid that their thunder had been stolen by local authority sources in Manchester. They had planned to unveil the plan in the city today once the memorandum of understanding had been signed. The merger of health and social care for 2.7m people will be one of the most significant developments on Simon Stevens' watch. Understandably he wanted to be in control of the announcement. The Chancellor George Osborne, unsurprisingly, was smiling as he delivered a brief TV clip after the story broke. It fits in well with his Northern powerhouse agenda and the devolution of power and money from Whitehall to Manchester which he set in train last autumn. Cynics might think it all looks rather convenient with the election barely two months away. But I am told that his contacts amongst Greater Manchester councillors were important in facilitating an agreement. A Chancellor of the Exchequer has the clout across national and regional government to make things happen. So with the Chancellor and Simon Stevens of NHS England unveiling the plan in Manchester today, what have we learned? The first thing which has been made clear is that this is a joint initiative involving local authorities and the GPs who head the local health commissioning groups. The idea that £6 billion was being handed to local councillors was always wrong. A new strategic health and social care partnership board will have representatives from the councils, hospitals and other providers, clinical commissioning groups and local NHS England management. It has been emphasised that the deal does not amount to another reorganisation of the NHS. The new structure in Manchester will have to work to standards on care and patient rights and meet statutory duties set out in the NHS Constitution. Even so Simon Stevens described it as the greatest integration and devolution of care since the creation of the NHS in 1948. The £6 billion annual budget which has been much talked about includes a mix of money already provided to the local health economy and funds devolved from the centre by NHS England. About £1.5 billion currently spent by NHS England will be handed to the new Greater Manchester body. This includes money spent on specialised commissioning, for example treatments of rare diseases, and on GP services. The £6 billion pooled budget will also include funding for public health and social care at present held in town halls. There is no doubt of the excitement amongst health and civic leaders in Greater Manchester, with "defining moment" and "unprecedented agreement" spicing up the press releases. There is a genuine conviction that the new arrangements will help move the region from one with some of the worst health outcomes to the best. Joined up thinking and spending, its argued, will promote prevention and care outside hospitals which can only improve the lives of residents. And yet.....it will be a huge undertaking. The structure, we are told, will be in place by April 2016 and fully functional a year later. Remember, this has never before been tried in England. It will be on a bigger scale than the integrated health and social care system in Northern Ireland which has been operational since the 1970s. There are suspicions in the health world that local councillors will distort priorities for the NHS. A former clinical director of an NHS drug and alcohol service warned in The Guardian today that devolving this service to a local authority had resulted in it being outsourced because of local government competitive tendering rules. Few doubt that the prize of genuine health and social care integration is well worth striving for. But delivering it is a big ask. There will be unintended consequences and continued questions about whether this is the beginning of a fragmentation of the NHS in England. Perhaps the old cliche is applicable here - only time will tell. Police sealed off Cimla Road, Neath, on Thursday morning following its discovery at the bottom of Cimla Hill. Although it was only 1.5ft (0.5m) wide on the surface, the council said the void below was 20ft (6m) wide and deep. The road was due to reopen to cars at about 18:00 GMT on Sunday, after the hole was filled with 64 tonnes of concrete and stone. Local councillor John Warman praised the authority's highways teams for "pulling out all the stops" to get the road repaired. He described it as one of the busiest roads in the area - feeding 24 junctions, with refuse collections also hit by the closure. A 60 second look at what causes sinkholes to open M&S chief executive Steve Rowe is also expected to announce a shake-up of its international operations. Mr Rowe will provide an update on the retailer's latest trading performance on Tuesday. Smaller M&S branches in weaker High Streets are forecast to bear the brunt of the cuts. According to Sky News, the closures would number in the "low dozens" while other shops will reallocate space away from clothing to its more successful food operations. M&S has over 300 full-range sites and nearly 600 Simply Food shops. Mr Rowe, who took over the top job in April, said that improving clothing and homeware sales was his number one priority. He outlined the first part of his strategy in May, including price cuts and promotions to help win shoppers back that were expected to dent profits in the short term. In July, the group posted its worst quarterly sales figures for a decade. His focus will now turn to the size of the retailer's UK store portfolio, and the international division where profits slumped last year. Like many other retailers, M&S is grappling with changing shopping habits as increasing numbers of purchases are made online. It is already trying to simplify its business by cutting hundreds of jobs at its head office in London. A spokesman for M&S declined to comment. The Bluebirds become the fourth Championship club currently under a transfer embargo, joining Bolton, Fulham and Nottingham Forest. The embargo will be in place for the rest of the January transfer window. Cardiff say they "have complied with the FFP requirements for season 2014-15 - contrary to the League's position." A Bluebirds statement added: "As such, further advice will be sought, prior to a decision being made internally as to whether or not an appeal will be lodged." Last season's Championship clubs had to submit their FFP returns by 1 December and a maximum loss of £6m was allowed, subject to certain deductions. But BBC Wales Sport understands Cardiff exceeded the limit as owner Vincent Tan turned £13m of debt to equity, as well as investing a further £3m. Cardiff's accounts are to be published in March and chairman Mehmet Dalman says they will show a profit for the year to June 2014. The club's statement added: "Whilst extremely disappointed that the Football League has decided to take this action, we will remain co-operative and compliant with the League's position in respect of FFP. "Cardiff City Football Club again expects to trade within the set FFP limits for 2015/16 and therefore anticipates full participation in the summer 2016 transfer window." It is the second time in six years that Cardiff have had such a sanction imposed upon them. Asked why the club were being hit with a transfer embargo, Dalman replied: "It's a very technical answer to that question; we have actually been in dialogue with the Football Association for the past ten days to two weeks. "Unfortunately in a meeting where different interpretations were applied, they (the Football Association) have come up with the conclusion we haven't complied (with FFP). "We are disappointed. We will look into it and will consider and take advice on an appeal, but within the spirit of the rules the League have put to us." Cardiff, owned by Malaysian businessman Tan, lie ninth in the table. Health officials said the 36-year-old man tested positive last Saturday and has been quarantined near Manila. In February, a Filipino nurse who returned home after working in the Middle East was found with the virus, but later recovered. Mers, which has no known cure, has killed nearly 500 people worldwide. Asian countries have been on alert for cases of the flu-like virus since an outbreak in May in South Korea, where 33 people have now died. South Korea has had 186 confirmed Mers cases, with 907 people under quarantine as of Monday, according to tYonhap news agency. China, Malaysia and Thailand also have confirmed Mers cases, although these have been relatively more isolated. Last week, Thailand said a man who was its only Mers case so far had made a full recovery. Philippine health officials said in a televised press conference on Monday that the infected man was quarantined at the Research Institute of Tropical Medicine in Muntinlupa city, about 30km (18 miles) south of the capital, Manila. He flew to Manila on a flight from Dubai, after making a stopover in Saudi Arabia. Officials declined to state the date of his arrival and his nationality, but said he was originally from the Middle East, reported GMA News. He began showing symptoms last Thursday, and on Saturday he was admitted to the research facility where he tested positive. Health Secretary Janette Garin said there were indications that the patient was already recovering, as he had low levels of the virus. Authorities are now tracing 200 people who came into contact with the patient, and at least one person showing symptoms has already been quarantined. Last week a man who was Thailand's first confirmed case of Mers was declared free of the virus and discharged from hospital. The World Health Organization says that since September 2012, it has been notified of 1,365 confirmed cases of Mers worldwide, including Mers-related 487 related deaths. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers) Mers: The new coronavirus explained How South Korea is coping with outbreak Sgt Louise Lucas, 41, a mother-of-three, was airlifted to hospital but later died. Her eight-year-old daughter suffered minor injuries in the incident on The Kingsway on Tuesday. Swansea council has said it is taking action to improve safety on the road. Temporary barriers are to be installed along the central reservation. Cllr Mark Thomas, Swansea Council's cabinet member for environment and transportation, said: "We are now taking immediate steps to further improve safety for pedestrians by introducing temporary barriers along the central reservation on The Kingsway. "We will also be holding urgent discussions with the police and bus operators to consider further safety measures which, subject to their agreement, may include re-routing buses and potentially changing the direction in which they travel on The Kingsway." Swansea council dropped the speed limit to 20mph last year as an initial response to calls for improved safety on The Kingsway. Sgt Lucas' son Grant, 21, paid tribute to his mother with a post on Facebook. It read: "On behalf of the family, we would like to thank all friends for their support. "I am absolutely well and truly gutted. It's mad how my mum and I became much closer over the last couple of weeks and had it all planned out! "Mum was the best there is and was simply amazing. I love you with all my heart and WILL make you so so proud RIP Mum." Colleagues from South Wales Police also took to social media to pay tribute to Sgt Lucas, who was based at Llanishen police station in Cardiff where she ran neighbourhood policing teams. South Wales Police east division tweeted that the "communities of Llanishen, Rhiwbina, and Thornhill lost a police officer who really cared". The sentiment was echoed by Alun Michael, Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales, who tweeted she was a great loss to her family, the force and the community. Richard Jones, a special chief officer at Gwent Police, described her as an "exceptional lady", adding that he had worked with her several times. Richard Lewis, a senior officer for territorial policing at South Wales Police, said her death was "incredibly sad". Steve Trigg, chair of the South Wales Police Federation who had known her for a number of years, said: "She was really well respected. "It is just a huge loss to her family, her friends and to South Wales Police." In a statement, Chief Constable Peter Vaughan said: "Louise was a great police officer who was universally respected and was dedicated to her role of serving the communities of South Wales. "The many tributes which have been paid to Louise are a reflection of how highly she was regarded not only by her colleagues in the police service but by the wider community." Sgt Lucas's husband Gavin played rugby for Newport, Pontypool and Cardiff. He is also head coach at Llandaff North RFC, who have cancelled all their Easter fixtures. A spokesman for Llandaff North RFC said: "We at the club send Gavin, the children and all Louise's friends and family our deepest condolences and warmest thoughts at this most difficult and painful of times. "The North family stands beside you. As a mark of respect all matches scheduled for this weekend have been postponed." Nearly 3,000 people have signed a petition calling for changes, including a return to a traditional two-way system on the road. The current system has two lanes of traffic travelling in the same direction on one side of the road, but two lanes of traffic going in opposite directions on the other. Tuesday's incident has been highlighted by an online petition calling for more road changes, saying: "Too many people have been injured and now a young lady has lost her life." There have been a number of accidents on the road over the last few years and in September 2013, Daniel Foss, 37, from Reynoldston, Gower, died after being struck by a National Express bus. First Cymru Bus said staff were "working with the police to establish exactly what happened" in the incident with a X11 bus on Tuesday shortly before 11:25 BST. South Wales Police are continuing to investigate and witnesses are asked to call 101. Sir Declan Morgan said the cuts to the Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service would impact on "access to justice". Mr Ford was briefing the justice committee on his department's budget for 2015-16. He said the matter would be raised at his next meeting with Sir Declan. Alban Maginness of the SDLP asked the minister how a justice system could be run with the number of courthouses cut from 22 to 10, "a reduction of 45% since 2013". Mr Ford said it was not a matter of the number of courthouses but "the capacity of the courthouse" and accessibility. He said the Lord Chief Justice was approaching the matter from his own perspective and that of the judiciary, but Mr Ford had to deal with a very difficult budget settlement. The minister briefed members on proposed changes to the legal aid budget, which he said was "the key risk to the department living within its budget". He said legal aid reforms had already reduced costs by £22m. "The demand for legal aid has consistently exceeded the available budget," Mr Ford said. He listed some of the areas where he proposed to introduce measures "reducing the scope of legal aid". Turning to the public service voluntary redundancy scheme, the minister said a total of 195 staff from his department and associated bodies would be required to leave. He said there were associated dangers if the target for leavers was not achieved. Ulster Unionist Tom Elliott asked whether any part of the policing budget was ring-fenced. The minister said the police received "£28.5m specifically from the Treasury for security funding". Mr Ford and department of justice officials then briefed the committee on proposals to change the arrangements for appointing members to the policing board. He said the nine independent members of the board were appointed to the board for four years, and this had led to a considerable loss of experience and skills at the end of this period. The minister was proposing a staggered appointments system, which would make for "a more gradual and phased approach". Mr Ford said he also believed the rates of remuneration for policing board members were "very significantly in excess of those of any public body across Northern Ireland" and that this was "unsustainable" in the current financial climate. He proposed that the remuneration for ordinary members be reduced from £19,400 to £12,000 pa. The warning by independent experts funded by the Cabinet Office came after they looked at deaths before 75 in 2011-12 in more than 200 local areas. In each area, the premature mortality rate was higher among those with mental health problems. But in 51 areas, it was judged to be "particularly worrying". It is well known that people with mental health problems die earlier. But this is the first time death rates have been analysed down to a local level. Overall, the premature death rate among those with mental health problems was 2.4 times higher than that of the general population. The review- by the Open Public Services Network, part of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce - said the physical health needs of people with mental health problems were not being addressed. The findings mirror a recent report by the Nuffield Trust think tank and come as NHS England is preparing to unveil its new strategy for mental health services. Report author Charlotte Alldritt said with one in six people suffering from a mental health problem each year it was vital the NHS improved services. "We need to narrow this gap across the board," she said. "Everywhere can do better, but the areas that are doing even worse than you would expect are particularly worrying. "What our research showed was that some of this is relatively easy to prevent. "It is about making sure they get basic checks for things such as diabetes and high cholesterol." Mental health cuts 'putting lives at risk' Why there is a mountain to climb on mental health Read more from Nick Follow Nick on Twitter The report found that while suicide was undoubtedly a "significant" factor in the high number of early deaths, poor physical health was likely to be responsible for about two-thirds of it. Researchers looked at 200 different sources of data as part of their review and found those with mental illness were: Those identified with the very worst performance on premature deaths were the places where rates were above average and where there was the biggest difference between mortality in the general population and those with mental health problems. Many of these areas have high levels of deprivation, as would be expected, but a number of relatively affluent places were also flagged up. For example, Bath and North East Somerset, Wokingham and the London borough of Kingston all had premature death rates in the general population below the national average but high rates among those with mental illness. Paul Farmer, of the mental health charity Mind, said the report should act as a "wake-up call". "It is shocking that people with severe mental health problems die much younger than the general population, often from preventable conditions which ought be picked up through routine testing and screening," he added. Mental Health Minister Alistair Burt said the issues highlighted by the report were "really important" and needed addressing. The mass of fat and wet-wipes has built up and hardened, causing the sewer under Hollybush Row to collapse. Anthony Crawford from Thames Water said: "Wet-wipes cling to the fat, fat clings to the wipes and pretty soon your fatberg is out of control." The firm said the road would be closed for two weeks from 7 April. Mr Crawford said: "We're really sorry to anyone inconvenienced by our work. "However, it is vital we clear this blockage before people suffer the misery of sewer flooding." Last year, Thames Water removed a 15-tonne "bus-sized lump" of food fat mixed with wet-wipes from underneath Kingston-upon-Thames. Sadiq Khan called the targets "crude" and said allowing local areas control of where they prioritise work would "restore real neighbourhood policing". The draft plan also proposes that each ward will have two dedicated police officers and suggests measures to cut knife crime and improve victim support. Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said the plan would enable "the best police service". The "MOPAC 7" targets were introduced by Boris Johnson and aimed to reduce crimes by at least 20% in seven categories: burglary, vandalism/criminal damage, theft from motor vehicles, theft of motor vehicles, violence with injury, robbery, and theft from the person. But the policy was recently criticised by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary who said police efforts were too focussed on these crimes resulting in children being "put at risk". Mr Khan said his police plan would "make sure local priorities reflect local concerns" and "build trust and confidence in policing". Other proposals include: Sir Bernard, the Met commissioner, said the force would "need to change the way it recruits, operates, and evolves". "These changes will touch every element of our organisation, making us more diverse [and] more efficient," he said. A public consultation will take place until 23 February with the final plan published by the end of March 2017. Cockroft, who won three wheelchair track golds at the Rio Games and two at London 2012, believes American support for the Paralympics would be most beneficial for the movement. "If America can fall in love with us, then I feel like the rest of the world will follow," said the 24-year-old. Paris and Budapest are also candidates. The Paralympics currently gets little mainstream media coverage in the United States but Cockroft hopes staging the event there will change that and raise the profile of athletes. Cockroft, a guest editor at BBC Sport on Friday, said: "America is a country which hasn't really embraced the Paralympic movement as yet, whereas because London 2012 did such a good job, Europe has already done that. "At the moment, the coverage of Paralympic athletes [in America] is quite poor and it would nice to be able to change that." As for her own chances of competing in 2024, Cockroft, who has won Paralympic gold in events from 100m up to 800m, added: "Let's just concentrate on Tokyo in 2020 first." Harry Reid accused FBI director James Comey of violating an act which bars officials from influencing an election. News of the FBI inquiry comes less than two weeks before the US election. The bureau has meanwhile obtained a warrant to search a cache of emails belonging to a top Clinton aide. Emails from Huma Abedin are believed to have been found on the laptop of her estranged husband, former congressman Anthony Weiner. There are reportedly 650,000 emails to search through on the laptop, making it unlikely investigators can give a verdict on them before election day. Mr Reid also accused Mr Comey of withholding "explosive information about close ties between [Republican candidate] Donald Trump, his top advisers, and the Russian government". "The public has a right to know about this information. I wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public," Mr Reid said. The FBI believes the emails might be "pertinent" to its previous inquiry into Mrs Clinton's use of a private server when she was secretary of state in the Obama administration. The case was closed in July without any charges being brought against Mrs Clinton. Mr Weiner is subject to a separate investigation on suspicion of sending sexually explicit messages to an underage girl. In a letter, Mr Reid accused Mr Comey of practising double standards with the intention of helping one political party over another. He said Mr Comey may have violated the Hatch Act, which bars officials from using their position to influence an election. "Through your partisan actions, you may have broken the law," he said. Who is ahead in the polls? 48% Hillary Clinton 44% Donald Trump Last updated November 8, 2016 Richard Painter, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School and the chief White House ethics lawyer from 2005 to 2007, revealed on Sunday he had filed a complaint against the FBI with the Office of Special Counsel, which investigates Hatch Act violations. Writing in the New York Times he said: "I never thought that the FBI could be dragged into a political circus surrounding one of its investigations. Until this week." The act, passed in 1939, prevents federal employees from using their positions to benefit a particular political party. It also applies to some state, Washington DC and local government employees. The legislation was named after Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico, who campaigned against federal employees' political activities during elections. It was amended in 1993 to clarify that most federal staff can work on partisan campaigns in their own time. With little more than a week to go before the 8 November election, opinion polls suggested that Mrs Clinton's lead against Mr Trump was tightening even before the email controversy surfaced again. An ABC News/Washington Post poll published on Sunday put Mrs Clinton just one percentage point ahead. Mrs Clinton has described Mr Comey's actions as "unprecedented" and "deeply troubling". But Mr Trump has praised the FBI's decision, accusing the justice department of protecting Mrs Clinton in a "rigged system". "The department of justice is trying their hardest to protect the criminal activity of Hillary Clinton," Mr Trump told a rally in Nevada. It emerged on Sunday that the department had urged the FBI not to inform Congress of the new inquiry so close to the election. Who will win? Play our game to make your call The BBC can reveal the report, to be released next week, will argue that Brexit would create a series of economic shocks which would have an impact on housing, employment and wages. Mortgage rates would also rise, it claims. George Osborne told me that in the event of Britain leaving the EU there would be an "immediate shock" to the economy, increased uncertainty and financial market turmoil. That could lead to "people being poorer" and a fall in house prices. "Next week the Treasury is going to publish an analysis of what the immediate impact will be and one consequence of leaving the European Union is that there would be a hit to the value of people's homes of at least 10% and up to 18%," he said, speaking at the G7 summit of finance ministers in Sendai, north Japan. "At the same time mortgages will get more expensive, and mortgage rates will go up." Many economists dispute that, saying the Bank of England may actually reduce interest rates to provide an economic stimulus in the event of a Brexit. That could lead to lower mortgage rates, although the Treasury argues that if financial conditions deteriorated more generally, borrowing costs could increase for banks and that may lead to higher costs for homeowners. Supporters of Britain leaving the EU argue that taking the "froth" off house prices would be good for people struggling to get on the housing ladder, and lower levels of immigration over the longer term would reduce demand, making house buying easier. I asked the Chancellor if lower house prices could actually be seen as a positive thing, particularly for first time buyers. "You don't get affordable homes by wrecking the economy," he told me. The average house price in the UK is just under £300,000. That is expected to rise between 8% and 10% over the next two years, meaning that under the Treasury Brexit scenario, house prices could actually fall in absolute terms. Many who say buying a home in the UK is far too expensive may welcome that. Mr Osborne also said that any negotiations with the other 27 states of the EU if Britain were to leave would be costly. There is expected to be a bill attached to that in the Treasury analysis. "It is absolutely clear if you speak to finance ministers here, from France, from Germany, from other European countries, that if Britain left the EU and wanted access to the single market - the access we need for jobs and investment at home - then we would have to pay into the EU budget and we would have to accept free movement of people," he said. That position was backed up by Michel Sapin, the French finance minister, who told me that it was wrong to believe that the UK would gain access to the single market without the "free circulation of people". Although he said negotiations would be "friendly", there would be a bill for the UK to pay. "It is an illusion to think that by having a free trade negotiation you will have more than what you have right now," he said. Backers of Britain leaving the EU say that Britain would fare better outside the constraints of the present single market, and would be able to agree free trade agreements similar to those signed by countries such as South Korea. It is also pointed out that America and China, which do not have separate deals with the EU, also have strong trading relationships with the single market. Media playback is not supported on this device Barnes, 29, was level with his 20-year-old opponent after two rounds but Carmona, ranked 26 in the world, took the verdict in the final three minutes. Belfast man Barnes was hoping to win a third Olympic medal having secured bronze at Beijing and London. "It was so hard making the weight," said Barnes after his defeat. "I just made the weight this morning. About six weeks ago, I was 58 kilos and now I'm down to 49. Halfway through the first round, I felt so tired. "This weight category is not for me. I need to move up," added Barnes, Ireland's flag bearer at Friday's opening ceremony. "The fight could have gone either way but I'm actually glad he got it because there is no way I could have had the energy to fight another fight at this weight." The Chinese judge gave the verdict to Barnes 29-28, but the Canadian and Uzbek judges scored it 29-28 to his opponent. Media playback is not supported on this device The surprise defeat of their captain is a further blow for the Irish boxing team after another member of the team failed a drugs test. Barnes said he was "devastated" by Monday's loss after going into the event as one of the favourites to win gold. "I really truly believed I would come away with the gold medal and for it to be taken away at the first hurdle is heartbreaking," he added. Barnes has hinted he intends to turn professional after the Games and acknowledged his Olympic career is now almost certainly over. "I don't know about another Olympics but you will still see Paddy Barnes in the ring," he said. Kazimierz Radloff, 64, from Dudley, was found dead on 6 July last year. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said that two days before he was found relatives warned he indicated he intended to kill himself. There was no indication earlier police intervention would have altered the outcome, the IPCC said. West Midlands Police have now decided three police constables and an acting inspector will have to answer a case for misconduct. They would be "subject to management action including words of advice," the IPCC said. The investigation found police initially treated Mr Radloff as someone in breach of bail conditions rather than as a vulnerable missing person, it said. Evidence indicated a lack of intelligence checks and information sharing meant opportunities were missed to escalate the search, the watchdog said. The IPCC also said it recommended to the force that all officers should receive guidance on working with interpreters. Mr Radloff committed suicide his inquest in August last year found. FanDuel said it would launch a new fantasy football platform in early August after striking a partnership deal with sports data provider Opta. Under the deal, Opta will provide live performance statistics for FanDuel, which was set up in Edinburgh in 2009. Details of the new platform have yet to be unveiled but FanDuel said it would focus on the English Premier League. It marks FanDuel's first foray outside the North American market. The company has offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow but moved its headquarters to New York several years ago. It became one of the two giants of the fantasy sports sector, along with US-based Draft Kings. FanDuel now lays claim to six million registered users across the US and Canada. Its technology platform has allowed fans of the four main American sports to pick fantasy teams from real players, and follow their performances. However, fantasy sports companies in the US have faced legal challenges from state regulators and legislators, who have argued that the online games are based on chance rather than skill. In a statement, FanDuel said it was ready to take "the first step in international expansion plans" by launching in the UK in early August. Karol Corcoran, director of international marketing at FanDuel, said: "We are thrilled to be working with Opta, they're a world-leader in their field. "Their expertise and data will add to the excitement of our live game experience, letting users watch their fantasy team rack up points as the real games play out on the pitch. "Opta's stats also play a critical role in our unique scoring system, which considers the contribution of every player on the pitch, not just those who score goals - ensuring a more realistic and compelling reflection of the on-field action." He added: "Our team has spent a lot of time on developing the right product for the UK's football fans and we've already had a lot of positive feedback from users during our beta contest phase, which was rolled out during the 2016 Euros. "We can't wait to bring the full product to market." A Coastguard helicopter, an RNLI lifeboat crew and police were called to sea cliffs near Thurso at about 13:20. Police Scotland said the woman's next of kin had been informed and that the incident did not appear to be suspicious. Police added that officers' inquiries were continuing. Coleman, 27, is said to have suffered minor injuries after members of the public broke into the changing room. Nottinghamshire Police are investigating the incident which occurred after the day's last race. Two men and one woman were arrested on suspicion of assault and damage, and another woman for obstructing police. Meanwhile, a Southwell stewards' report stated that Irishman Coleman, fellow jockeys Adam Pogson and Tom Scudamore, and officials had been interviewed. The information gathered will be forwarded to the British Horseracing Authority. Coleman told the Racing Post: "Two of them burst into the changing room and when they were asked to leave it all kicked off. "I think they had drunk that much they didn't know what they were doing." Coleman, who has won 54 races in Britain this season, partnered Mon Mome in the Grand National on three occasions, but passed up the ride in 2009 when the 100-1 outsider won the race. He is due to ride at Chepstow on Wednesday. The move is part of attempts to fight workplace discrimination. The UK has a gender pay gap of 18.1% for all workers, or 9.4% for full-time employees. Public, private and voluntary sector firms will all be required to publish the figures by this time next year, disclosing average pay for men and women, including any bonuses. About half of the UK workforce will be affected by the new reporting rules, which encompass 9,000 employers and more than 15 million employees. Firms must publish a snapshot of their employee pay as at 5 April 2017 if they are a private business or charity, or 31 March 2017 for those in the public sector. A few companies including Virgin Money and Deloitte have already published their figures. All the data will eventually be available on a central government database. If employers fail to comply by the April 2018 deadline, they will be contacted by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission. Companies that discover they do have a gender pay gap will be encouraged to publish an action plan alongside the figures detailing the steps they plan to take to address the problem. Other countries are also working to eradicate the gender pay gap. Iceland is debating a bill that would require companies with more than 25 employees to prove they do not discriminate between male and female workers. The country has the smallest gap, according to the World Economic Forum's Gender Pay Gap Index, while the UK is in 20th place. By April 2018, large and mid-sized companies in the UK must: •Publish their median gender pay gap figures, which compare the pay of the man and woman who are at the mid-point of the company payroll. •Publish their mean gender pay gap figures - produced by dividing the total payroll by the number of workers. •Publish the proportion of men and women in each quarter of the pay structure. •Publish the gender pay gaps for bonuses The gender pay gap and equal pay are two different things. The former is the difference in average earnings between men and woman. Equal pay, or paying men and woman the same amount to do the same job, has been a legal requirement for more than 40 years. "Today sees a big step forward in the journey to achieve gender parity in the UK," said Emma Codd from Deloitte UK, which already publishes figures on its gender pay gap. "For the first time people will be able to see the gender pay gap of large employers at one fixed point in time, with this gap measured and reported in a consistent way." But Sam Bowman from the Adam Smith Institute, described the new measure as "counterproductive". "It reinforces the idea that the gender wage gap is caused by discrimination by firms against women," he said. "In fact, it's more to do with the fact that women are expected to take quite a lot of time out of their jobs after they have children, which interrupts their career progression, and many switch to part-time work when they do return to work. "We have more of a motherhood pay gap than a gender pay gap. That gap can be closed by encouraging men to handle a more equal share of child-rearing time and by consumers preferring firms that take the lead in giving flexibility to working mothers." The latest stranding took place on Marazion Beach near Penzance, in front of St Michael's Mount. A carpet of sardines and other fish appeared on the beach on Saturday evening and many remained there on Monday. Experts believe it may be because fishing boats have had to release part of their catch. The bulk of the fish appear to be sardines, with some mackerel and herring also washed up. Witness Katrina Slack said: "I've never seen anything like it. It was like the waves were made of fish." Read more on fish strandings and other Cornwall and Devon stories here Earlier this month there was a stranding at Pentewan Beach near St Austell, about 40 miles from Marazion. Fishing industry representatives say the most likely reason was down to "ring netters". The boats work by encircling shoals, or part of shoals, with a large net before closing it up into a circle on the surface. When they catch too many fish there is a danger of the boat being pulled under. To prevent this some of the fish can be released from the bottom of the net, but they usually die. There are about fifteen of the boats operating along the south Cornish coast between Plymouth and Mounts Bay, and they have been busy in recent weeks. Simon Cadman from the Cornwall Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority said "the numbers of fish have been exceptionally high." He said: "We can't be 100% sure, but there's a strong likelihood this is to do with ring netters. "This is not good in any respect and fishermen, like anybody else, don't want to see this amount of fish ending up as seagull fodder. "We are talking to them about what has gone wrong to try and stop it happening again." Debbie Crockard from the Marine Conservation Society said: "This is not illegal but it's not something we want to see happening. "It needs to be looked at as fishermen don't want it either. The safety of fishermen is important, but we should find a way to avoid getting into the situation in the first place." Paul Trebilcock from the Cornish Fish Producers' Organisation said he did not think fishermen were intentionally throwing away their catch. He said: "Sometimes they simply catch too many fish for the ring netters to handle and they escape or need to be released. "This has nothing to do with quotas, but simply too many fish in the sea in this case." Have you got a question about this story? Use the tool below to send us your questions and we could be in touch. He told the Commons liaison committee he could not give a "cast iron guarantee" the target would be met. But he rejected calls from MPs for it to be dropped. Net migration - the number coming to the UK for at least a year, minus the numbers leaving - rose 58,000 to 212,000 in the year to September 2013. Mr Cameron conceded he had no control over some of the key factors feeding into the net migration figure, such as the number of people emigrating from the UK, but he said: "My commitment is to do everything I can to make progress towards that target and that's what we should do." He said the difference between people leaving to work in other EU countries and coming to the UK had been "in broad balance" over time "so the way you get net migration down is by reducing migration from outside the EU" which he said was down by a third since the coalition came to power. The first official figures on the number of migrants to have arrived from Bulgaria and Romania since restrictions were lifted on 1 January are due to be released on Wednesday. Home Affairs Committee chairman Keith Vaz told Mr Cameron said the figures would show that 30,000 people had arrived in the UK from those countries. Mr Cameron said he did not want to comment ahead of the figures, but said it was "remarkable" how many EU migrants had come from countries like Spain and Italy, rather than new EU states in Eastern Europe. Quizzed by Mr Vaz about the difference between his stance on EU migration and that of UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who wants to end free movement into the UK and reintroduce a work permit system, he said: "I'm not entirely sure what his view is. "It's sort of just 'put the barricades up and pretend that these organisations don't work'." In March, Conservative MP Mark Field called for the Conservative Party to drop its net migration target, saying it was "impractical", harmed Britain's global competitiveness and was clearly not going to be met. Lib Dem business secretary Vince Cable has also disowned the target, stressing that it was a Conservative and not a coalition government policy. Mr Cameron also agreed to look at a proposal by Bernard Jenkin, Tory chairman of the public administration committee, to improve the system for estimating net migration. At the moment it is based on a survey of passengers carried out at airports and ports. Plans to count all migrants in and out through an e-borders scheme have been "downgraded". Mr Cameron conceded that the existing system has got "inadequacies because it is a survey" but experts, including the Office for National Statistics, had said it was the best way of measuring migration. He said people were increasingly being counted out as they went through passport control and full exit checks would be in place by next year - but he would examine Mr Jenkins' call for an extra £15m to improve the collection of migration figures. Labour's Shadow Immigration Minister David Hanson said Mr Cameron's comments showed the Conservatives were "failing" on immigration. "No amount of bluster from David Cameron will change the fact that he promised categorically to get net migration down to the tens of thousands but it is actually rising, not falling." In September, blue paint was used on a sample of privately-owned Dartmoor ponies to test its durability. Conservationists said it had remained on the animals, and reflective beads that create an "alien glow" had since been added. They said 74 animals have been killed so far this year on Dartmoor's roads. More on this story and others from Devon. Karla McKechnie, livestock protection officer for the Dartmoor Livestock Protection Society (DLPS), said: "The reflective element is very bright and despite the horrendous weather it's very visible. "We'll now monitor how long it remains on the animals, and the company behind the paint is trying to see whether it can create an even brighter and more durable version." Ms McKechnie said following the success, the plan was to paint moorland livestock ahead of Dartmoor's annual pony round-up and sale, known as the drift, which is held each autumn. "She told BBC News: "In the coming months we might try the reflective paint on privately-owned cattle too. "The moor is a working landscape and the animals are the priority," she added. Rob Steemson, Dartmoor National Park's head ranger, said: "The authority is pleased to hear the trial is progressing well and we continue to fully support the project to reduce the number of road deaths in conjunction with educational messages for motorists using Dartmoor's roads."

Up until now two men or two women were not allowed to marry each other but now that's changed. Almost two million people voted, with 62% voting yes. But lots of people disagreed, including the Catholic Church. Those against it say marriage has been between a man and a woman for hundreds of years and shouldn't be altered. Around the world Attitudes towards gay people vary across the world. Currently 20 countries allow same sex marriage. But in some others it is illegal just to be openly gay - more than 70 countries have laws against same-sex couples including Iran and Nigeria. In India being gay was decriminalised in 2009 but changed back to a crime again in 2013. In 2012 Russia banned gay pride events for 100 years. In the UK, gay marriage is allowed in Scotland, and England and Wales, but there are no plans to bring a law to allow it in Northern Ireland. It says 17 officials from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) have been investigated for corruption since 2012. A sweeping anti-corruption drive has been a defining feature of Xi Jinping's presidency. More than a million officials have been punished so far, says the government. The CCDI has been front and centre in Mr Xi's anti-corruption drive, directing the investigations into, and punishment of, officials across the country. But the powerful watchdog has admitted that it is not immune. It revealed this in surprising fashion last week - through a television show, co-produced with national broadcaster CCTV, featuring the confessions of senior inspectors who have since been jailed. The China Daily newspaper reported at the weekend that a total of 7,900 disciplinary CCDI officials had been punished for some form of violation over the past four years. Among them were the 17 anti-corruption officials investigated for corruption. Televised confessions have become de rigeur for Chinese authorities seeking to make an example of people. The CCDI made a similar show last October featuring corrupt officials from other agencies, but the latest show focused squarely on the CCDI itself. Titled "Forging Steel Requires Strength in One's Body", it was unabashedly billed as a demonstration of resolve. It was the most public admission to date of corruption within the CCDI ranks. The three-part show featured CCDI inspectors penitently detailing how they pressured other officials, including higher-ranked ones, for bribes in return for granting them favours. One official admitted taking 141m yuan ($20.4m; £16.7m) in bribes, along with more than 1,000 bottles of alcohol. Xinhua news agency said the arrests of high-level CCDI inspectors "were a wake-up call: trust in any party cadre cannot replace supervision". But in a separate article, the news agency reported that 93% of Chinese people were satisfied with the government's anti-corruption efforts. State-linked newspaper Global Times said the TV programme showed "the party's determination to combat corruption and deter the officials". The CCDI held its annual meeting at the weekend, where the agency put in place the new rule. Its official statement did not contain much detail, but said it would involve "close supervision of work processes", including the "clear and accurate" handling of investigations, tip-offs, and money and materials in corruption cases. It would also regulate procedures for interrogations and collection of evidence. Anti-corruption agents have sweeping powers, including the authority to arrest people off the streets and interrogate them in secret, without the need for a lawyer. The new rule, the statement proclaimed, would ensure "CCDI's self-supervision is combined with supervision from the Party and society". "Trust cannot replace supervision," it said. "We must make sure the power granted by the Party and the people is not abused." He said it should look at "all the different facets at what makes for a diverse and resilient research system that optimises all the talents available in the country". The body's new chief executive said it would support "the brightest minds, while recognising that the brightest minds come in many diverse forms". Sir Mark Walport and Mr Johnson were speaking at a launch event for UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) in London. Commenting on the issue of diversity in science, Prof Ottoline Leyser of the University of Cambridge said diversity was essential for a creative and innovative research system. "This requires an inclusive research culture, which in turn depends on diverse assessment criteria for researchers, diverse funding types and diverse routes for researchers into and out of the research base," she said. "The creation of UKRI is an opportunity to embed diversity in all aspects of the research system." UKRI will incorporate the seven existing research councils, as well as Innovate UK and Research England (the research arm of the Higher Education Funding Council for England). "Research is a global activity," said Sir Mark. "We practise in an international landscape, we are internationally diverse, and much of the science that's done today is international in nature, both through the instruments that are needed, which can't be funded by any one nation alone, and also by the desire of researchers to work with the best counterparts, wherever they are." He said the world of science and research is changing, driven by big data, interdisciplinary research and global collaborations. The world of business and industry is also in flux, driven by factors such as data and the need to re-use resources. Faced with all of those changes, it made sense "to look at our research and innovation landscape in a much more integrated fashion," said Sir Mark. He said UKRI's vision was "to be the best research and innovation agency in the world" through: At the event, Mr Johnson also confirmed an investment of £100 million to attract global talent to the UK through its new Ernest Rutherford Fund. The fund will provide fellowships for early-career and senior researchers, from the developed world and countries such as India, China, Brazil and Mexico. "Rutherford and his immense contributions to science exemplify our vision of a Britain that is open to the best minds and ideas in the world, and stands at the forefront of global collective endeavours to understand, and to improve, the world in which we live," said Mr Johnson.

He said the statistics were "shocking", and criticised the recovery rate of 1.7% - or 57 animals - as "appallingly low". The statistics show that 3,251 cattle have been stolen or reported missing since 2013. So far this year, 611 cattle have been taken. In 2013, it was 1,431 while in the following year, 1,209 animals disappeared. Lord Morrow, who now intends to ask for figures for the whole of Northern Ireland, said he expected cattle theft to be a particular problem in the "hotspots" of the border counties. The DUP assembly member for Fermanagh and South Tyrone believes that beef herds are being targeted. He said he feared that the animals were being sold into "illegal slaughterhouses" from where they could make their way into the human food chain. Statistics show that there are 1.6 million cattle in Northern Ireland. A spokesperson for the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) said: "The minister (Michelle O'Neill) is aware of the real concerns that the levels of crime are causing amongst the farming community, including the number of livestock thefts from farms. "She has met with the PSNI chief constable and minister of justice on a number of occasions to discuss rural crime." The spokesperson said that responsibility for tackling rural crime "lies primarily with the PSNI", but department officials worked closely with police on both sides of the Irish border, "particularly in relation to the detection, tracing and recovery of stolen livestock. "This multi-agency approach has resulted in the recovery of stolen animals and in arrests and convictions in the north and in ongoing prosecutions the south," the spokesperson said. Anyone who had information "which might help us combat this threat to rural businesses" should report their suspicions to the authorities, the DARD spokesperson added. The two hives at the Ebbw Vale offices of the Gwent Wildlife Trust were tipped over and smashed with large stones and logs. Around two thirds of the bees died after being exposed to the rain and cold, while all their larvae perished. Early April is a key time for bees, as they start producing young and looking for food. The beehives were installed in the environmental resource centre by Blaenau Gwent council as part of a Welsh Government scheme to encourage pollinating insects. Veronika Brannovic, Gwent Wildlife Trust manager, said the attack over the weekend was "very upsetting". "Spring weather has been unpredictable but our colonies had started to produce larvae within the hives," she said. "Luckily, we think the queen in each hive has survived. That means they could possibly recover - but they only have a limited number of eggs." The centre was opened in 2010 as part of the redevelopment of the former steel works site, and has become a haven for wildlife. According to the Barnes Foundation, they were uncovered during conservation work on two Cezanne paintings depicting the landscape of southern France. Officials say the sketches have not been seen since the early 20th Century. They will be on view in double-sided frames at the Foundation's Philadelphia base from 10 April until 18 May. One of the sketches is in graphite, while the other was done using watercolours. Following the display of both views to the public, the watercolours are to be returned to their original locations on the walls of the Barnes. Impressionist painter Cezanne, who died in 1906 at the age of 61, is regarded as a major influence on 20th Century artists like Matisse and Picasso. Huong Hoang, who goes by the stage name Junie Hoang, alleged that offers dried up after the database revealed her age. IMDb argued it had the right to publish accurate data and that Hoang, 41, could not prove she lost out because of it. According to the website, her credits include the 2011 title Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver. The site, which was launched in the early 1990s and purchased by Amazon in 1998, continues to post Ms Hoang's date of birth on her profile page. In court documents filed anonymously in 2011, Amazon and its movie database subsidiary were accused of breach of contract, fraud, violation of privacy and consumer protection laws. Parent company Amazon was dismissed as a defendant before the two-day trial, which concluded on Thursday. The database's stance drew criticism in 2011 from two acting unions, who accused the site of "facilitating age discrimination". During the trial, though, the site's attorneys said IMDb was not responsible for the actions taken by people who read their profiles. Ms Hoang, who had been seeking $1m (£650,000) in damages, had initially provided the site with a false birth year that reduced her stated age by seven years. When she asked for that information to be removed, the site used a public records search to discover her true date of birth and published it against her objections. Speaking after the trial, Ms Hoang said she had hoped to make the database change its policy. "I knew it was a problem not just for me but for anyone else who had their age on their profile," she told the Associated Press. Research conducted by Recycle for Wales shows 43% of 18-24-year-olds and 34% of 25-34-year-olds put leftover food in the rubbish bin. In contrast, 95% of over-65s claim to recycle their food waste. The group, which is funded by the Welsh Government, said the most common reason for not recycling food was that it was "too messy or smelly". Around 350,000 tonnes of food waste from Wales ends up in landfill annually. The research also reveals that single people in Wales are the most likely to put food in the waste bin - with 18% of single households admitting they rarely recycle food, compared to 7% of couples. Angela Spiteri, from Recycle for Wales, said: "People who are put off food recycling because they think it may smell don't realise that recycling it rather than putting it in the bin can create less smells. "Food waste gets collected weekly and in-home food caddies are recommended to be emptied more often than regular bins."

Mr Hammond said he was unhappy with the low-key role he was given and that the Tories should have put more effort into "dismantling" Labour's plans. He also said the government "heard a message" in the election that people were "weary" of spending cuts. "We are not deaf," he told the BBC. The chancellor, who has been calling for Brexit talks to prioritise the economy, also warned that leaving the EU without a deal would be "a very, very bad outcome". But a deal designed to "punish" the UK would be even worse, he said on BBC One's Andrew Marr show. Despite being one of the most senior members of Theresa May's government, Mr Hammond did not play a leading role in the general election campaign, and it was reported that he faced being replaced. "It's true that my role [in the campaign] was not the one I would have liked it to be," he said. He did not comment on his conversations with Mrs May after the election, in which the Conservatives lost their Commons majority. Mr Hammond said the Tories should have focused more on their record of running Britain's finances. "The end result is that, in my judgement, we did not talk about the economy as much as we should have done." Asked how long Mrs May had left in Number 10, Mr Hammond replied: "I think what the country needs now is a period of calm while we get on with the job at hand." There have been calls for a change in economic strategy since the election, which Labour fought on an anti-austerity platform. The Tories are now relying for support on the Democratic Unionist Party, which is committed to lobbying for extra cash for public services in Northern Ireland. The chancellor said he had already "created more flexibility" by loosening George Osborne's deficit-reduction target. He said he understood people were tired of the "long slog" of spending cuts, but added: "We have to live within our means, and more borrowing... is not the solution." He said "we have never said we won't raise some taxes", but added that overall the government wanted to keep them low. The government's plan remained to clear the deficit by the middle of the next Parliament "in a way that's sensitive to the needs of the economy", he added. On the eve of the start of formal Brexit negotiations, Mr Hammond gave a strong warning about the implications of the UK leaving the EU without a deal in place. Mrs May has refused to rule out this scenario, saying repeatedly that "no deal is better than a bad deal". Mr Hammond said having no deal would be "a very, very bad outcome for Britain" but added that he would not agree to one that aimed to "suck the lifeblood out of our economy over a period of time". Businesses have warned of damaging tariffs being imposed on their products unless new trade arrangements are agreed. Mr Hammond also said the UK would definitely be leaving both the EU single market and the customs union, but must avoid "cliff edges". "It's a statement of common sense that if we are going to radically change the way we work together, we need to get there via a slope, not a cliff edge." The government has previously said it will not stay in the EU-wide single market, as this would mean accepting the free movement of workers, and it wants a free trade deal to be agreed instead. It also plans to replace its membership of the customs union, which enables tariff-free trading within the EU, with a new arrangement that lets it strike trade deals with the rest of the world. Also appearing on the Andrew Marr Show, Labour's Brexit spokesman Sir Keir Starmer said Britain could not remain a full member of the single market after leaving the EU but argued for keeping customs union membership "on the table". He added: "I think the prime minister has got us into a complete mess. "She's got no mandate here and she's got no authority abroad and the negotiation starts tomorrow." If you're in the business of reading tea leaves, you'll have your work cut out in trying to decipher what Philip Hammond actually said today. On the one hand he said that Britain will definitely be quitting the customs union, which will dismay business lobby groups, but the chancellor also hinted that the UK might then want to automatically opt back into Europe's tariff-free trading block. He said that British exporters should experience trade with the EU "which feels as close as possible to the way it feels now". Certainly since the general election, employers see a chance for a "softer" Brexit than that outlined in the Lancaster House speech in January by Theresa May. For the first time in recent memory all five of the biggest business groups (CBI, BCC, IoD, EEF and FSB) have co-signed a letter to Business Secretary Greg Clark in effect pushing for all the benefits of EU membership without being a member. Squaring that circle might be the political challenge of our generation. Polls displayed are the latest added, and the date displayed is last day of fieldwork. Read the full methodology App users: tap here to see the poll tracker. A final set of polls continues to give an unclear picture of the referendum outcome. The gap between internet and telephone polls, which has been a feature throughout the campaign, still seems to be present. Three online polls and one telephone poll have been released today. Online polls by Opinium, TNS and YouGov are close to a dead heat. The single phone poll by ComRes gives Remain a modest lead. Opinium and TNS put Leave ahead by very narrow margins: one point and two points respectively. YouGov also has the result practically neck and neck. In their full data table they have both Leave and Remain on 45% with 2% responding that they will not vote and 8% saying "don't know". However, when they weight the results for expected turnout and apply a "squeeze question" - asking people who are unsure which way they think they will end up voting - they reach headline figures of 49% for Leave and 51% for Remain. ComRes's telephone poll has Remain six points in the lead. An Ipsos Mori poll is expected on Thursday and a YouGov "on the day" poll will be released on the stroke of 22:00 BST as polls close. The BBC's election guidelines state that no poll can be reported during polling hours, so this will be the final update to our poll tracker. Don't expect an exit poll Thursday night, by the way. Exit polls are based on analysis of previous elections, and the last UK referendum in 1975 is simply too long ago for a valid comparison to be made. The only voting intention that matters now is that of some 46.5 million voters. A series of of new referendum polls released on Saturday evening suggest that the result still hangs in the balance. Online polls by Opinium and YouGov suggest the two sides are neck and neck. Opinium for the Observer has both remain and leave on 44%. YouGov has published two polls. For the Sunday Times it has Remain one point up; for ITV it has Leave two up. Survation has published the only telephone poll of the evening for the Mail on Sunday. It has Remain up by three points. It's difficult to say with any confidence whether these new polls represent a significant change. But perhaps they suggest that the momentum enjoyed by Leave over the last couple of weeks has, for the time being at least, stalled. ComRes has also published an interesting poll for the Independent and Sunday People, although not with referendum voting intention figures. It asked people about the emotions they would feel depending on the referendum outcome. Significantly more people said they'd be delighted if Leave wins (44%) than if Remain wins (28%). A Leave victory would also disappoint fewer people. However, it would also make more people anxious. Some 41% of people said a Leave victory would cause them anxiety compared to 33% for a Remain victory. Two more polls published today confirm the trend of a significant shift to leave. And they're particularly striking because they're both telephone polls conducted by companies who have previously had remain ahead - sometimes with substantial leads. Ipsos MORI now give leave a 6 point lead. Survation have them 3 points ahead. Two further polls - one internet, one telephone - are expected overnight tonight. New polls were published on Tuesday from TNS and ComRes. Both followed the pattern we've seen in other recent poll of a marked shift to Leave. In TNS's online poll that gave Leave a 7 point lead. For ComRes, who conduct fieldwork by phone, Remain were in the lead, but only by 1 point compared with 11 points last month. So the long-established gap between phone and internet polls still seems to be in place - with the exception of ICM - but for both methods the centre of gravity has shifted to Leave. After weeks of uncertainty about whether the polls were moving one way or another there now seems to be a clear picture: there has been a shift to leave. Four polls were published yesterday evening: two by ICM for the Guardian, one by YouGov for the Times, and one by ORB for the Daily Telegraph. All of the pollsters are showing leave in a stronger position than they were a fortnight ago. And both of ICM's polls - phone and internet - now have leave ahead by 5 points. In the YouGov poll the lead is 7 points. The ORB figures in the referendum tracker are their 'turnout weighted' ones. They show remain ahead but by a narrower margin than they have found in recent phone polls. Before leave campaigners get ahead of themselves, though, they might want to wait until further polls are released by some of the other companies. Phone polls from Ipsos MORI, ComRes and Survation are all anticipated. They've all tended to show remain in a stronger position than ICM or YouGov. That said, Ipsos MORI have already announced that they'll be making a change to their methodology to take educational background into effect, which they say would have reduced the lead for remain in their last poll. It would be surprising if the shift to leave wasn't reflected in the next set of polls from these three. But we'll have to wait and see whether it's enough to put leave ahead. With less than two weeks to go, interest in referendum polls is reaching a climax. So it's perhaps surprising that there have been very few published in the last week. There are two polls in the Sunday papers - both online - which continue to show a very close race, as most online polls have done for months. YouGov in the Sunday Times has leave one point in the lead. Opinium in the Observer has remain two points up. On Friday night there was one other poll which reported a clear lead for leave. The ORB/Independent online poll put leave on 55% and remain on 45% in its "turnout weighted" figures. Like previous ORB online polls, it doesn't appear in the BBC poll tracker because it doesn't allow a "don't know" option. Up to now, they've generally been in line with other online polls, with the two sides neck and neck. In the coming days more polls are anticipated, including some telephone polls. So perhaps we might get a clearer picture. There have been numerous reports in recent days about pro-remain Labour MPs worrying that their supporters are switching to leave. A lot of this is supposedly based on their reception on the doorstep when they're out canvassing. Looking at the polls, though, it's hard to find much evidence for it. Pollsters always publish a demographic breakdown of how different groups have responded to their polls. You have to be even more cautious with these than with the headline numbers. But looking at a large number of polls, clear trends emerge. In the referendum, one trend is that Labour voters say they back remain over leave in a ratio of approximately 2:1. That's only budged very slightly over the course of the campaign. Friday's ORB poll suggested a different picture, but it still had a clear majority of Labour supporters for remain. And the other weekend polls had Labour voters supporting remain by a little over the 2:1 ratio. So if a lot of Labour voters have switched to leave, the polls aren't really picking it up. But they do suggest that the Labour Party, whose MPs overwhelmingly support remain, has not convinced a substantial portion of its supporters. Two weeks ago some people thought they'd identified a decisive shift in the polls towards remain. That now looks wide of the mark. Most of the polls over the last fortnight have shown leave with a small lead. And many of the pollsters have reported a swing away from remain. We've also had a rare telephone poll with leave in the lead - only the third such poll since the question was fixed last September. (ICM 27-29 May) Can we say then that leave is now definitely on course to win? It's still probably too early to say. For one thing, we've had very few phone polls recently and, with the exception of the ICM poll, they've still tended to show remain ahead, albeit by smaller margins than previously. Secondly, some people have suggested that there could be a 'bank holiday effect' or 'half term effect'. With a lot of people away for the half term it might have been even more difficult than usual for pollsters to find samples who represent the country as a whole. The evidence on that is pretty patchy. There are some cases of polls conducted over holidays producing what later look like skewed results. But in other cases it doesn't seem to make any difference. One area of referendum polling which has shown a pretty clear trend over a long period of time is about turnout. The number of people who say they are certain to vote, or who rate their likelihood of voting at 10 out of 10, has increased. It's notoriously difficult to estimate turnout from polls because, as a group, the people who take part almost always over-estimate how likely they are to vote. But there has been a marked increase in people saying they will vote, and that could point to a high turnout. Ipsos Mori's latest poll gave remain a 55-37 lead, with 8% saying they were undecided or wouldn't vote. That's the biggest gap between the two sides we've seen since February. On the other hand, ICM's online poll showed a 47-44 lead for leave, with 9% saying don't know. Some observers argue that betting odds provide a better clue to the outcome of elections and referendums than opinion polls. At last year's general election, for example, the bookmakers' odds suggested that the Conservatives would do better than the polls indicated. And they did. If that's true then Remain looks the most likely result. The referendum is expected to be the biggest ever political betting event in the UK. Millions of pounds have already been gambled on the outcome. Last week several bookmakers cut their odds for a vote to remain to 1/6. That means people would have to risk £6 for a potential profit of £1. Ladbrokes reported that there were lots of people prepared to back Remain despite the short odds. Most bookmakers have the odds for leave at 7/2. A £2 stake would return a profit of £7. Perhaps an easier way to track the bookmakers' odds over time is to look at what they imply about the chances are of each side winning. If both sides were at evens they'd both have an implied probability of 50%. On the Betfair betting exchange, the probability they suggest of a remain vote has risen from about 65% a month ago to nearly 80% now. Another market that's very sensitive to news about the referendum is the currency market. After the publication of the Ipsos Mori poll last week, with its large lead for remain, the value of the pound jumped by almost two cents against both the US dollar and the euro. That's because many currency traders expect that the uncertainty caused by a vote for Brexit would lead to a sharp drop in the value of sterling - at least in the short term. We're always told not to pay too much attention to individual polls but clearly some traders think there's been a decisive shift. There's a consistent pattern: in telephone polls remain tends to be in the lead; in internet polls the two sides are neck and neck. The discrepancy between the two types of poll has narrowed in the last few months. The lead for remain in phone polls is now about 8-12% when people who respond "don't know" are eliminated, down from about 20% last year. Internet polls have been suggesting a virtual dead heat for months. There's been a lot of discussion about why the two types of poll are different and which is more accurate. One theory is that the internet polls get more "don't know" or "undecided" responses because they offer it as an option on the screen. In phone polls, "don't know" is not usually offered as an option although respondents can choose not to back either side. The theory is that more people who say "don't know" in internet polls are likely to vote remain than leave when push comes to shove. Martin Boon at ICM has suggested that the samples in phone polls may contain too many Labour voters, as they did at the general election, and that the samples in internet polls may contain too many UKIP voters. That would skew the phone polls in remain's favour - Labour voters tend to break for remain by at least two to one - and skew the internet polls in favour of leave, suggesting that the true balance of opinion is somewhere in between. My colleague Chris Cook has looked at this issue in more depth. Pollsters have also reported some interesting results beyond straightforward voting intention. Several have asked people which issue would be most important in their decision about how to vote. ICM found that 45% of people said that immigration into the UK was the most important, followed by the impact on the UK's economy on 36%. (Sample: 2,029, 27-29 April) Similar polls by ComRes and Ipsos MORI have put the same two issues at the top of the list but in reverse order. Interestingly, the division between internet and telephone polls is noticeable here too: ICM's poll was conducted by internet, the other two by phone. Referendum a turn-off? ComRes also asked whether people were bored by the referendum. Sixty-three percent said they weren't, which is probably a good thing because there are still many weeks to go. I wonder how many will be bored by the end? David Ormerod, 15, left Closeburn near Thornhill on Sunday to play rugby in Dumfries. He was subsequently seen at the Dumfries Rugby Club but has not been seen since. Insp Rory Caldow described him as a "vulnerable young boy" and asked anyone who had seen him to come forward. He said dedicated officers were now involved in the search and they were visiting friends and family to try to track him down. "If anyone is found to be hiding David they may find themselves being arrested for their troubles," he added. The teenager is described as 5ft 10in tall, of slim build with a Newcastle accent. He has links to Dumfries, Newcastle, Thornhill and Cumbernauld. Paul Tam, 44, from Manchester was knocked to the ground and stabbed during a street robbery in San Francisco on 18 February. He was chased into the street and knifed and died later in hospital. Detectives have tweeted sketches of the suspects, a woman and a man. The police reward was offered in exchange for information leading to an arrest. Mr Tam, a website manager who worked for Manchester University, was taken for treatment at San Francisco General Hospital where he died on 24 March. The robbers had taken his bag which reportedly contained his passport, money, mobile phone and bank cards. A spokeswoman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said previously: "We can confirm the death of a British national on March 24 in San Francisco and we are providing consular assistance to the family at this difficult time." According to his LinkedIn profile, Mr Tam had moved to the US to work in Los Angeles. The crash happened at the junction of Usk Way and Frederick Street at about 19:15 GMT on Tuesday. Four people from Newport including the girls, aged 12 and 13, were taken to hospital. Two men, aged 49 and 53, received minor injuries. A 33-year-old man from Newport has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. 15 June 2016 Last updated at 13:27 BST A roof at the Coliseum Shopping Park in Ellesmere Port was damaged by the downpours on Tuesday. Twelve stores were affected. McArthurGlen Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, also in Ellesmere Port, said several shops had been forced to close following heavy rain. Police said it had received reports of up to 12ins (30cm) of rainwater in Delamere. Video by Rachael Warren. October 2005 The Ferns Report, an Irish government inquiry, found that successive bishops had failed to adequately protect children from abuse in the Wexford diocese. It uncovered more than 100 allegations of sexual abuse by priests and said the allegations were made against 21 priests who had been working in the diocese between 1966-2002. May 2009 The Ryan Report found that sexual and psychological abuse was "endemic" in Catholic-run industrial schools and orphanages in Ireland for most of the 20th century. It covered a 60-year period from 1936. November 2009 The Murphy report was published. It had looked into how the church and state authorities examined allegations of clerical abuse in the Dublin archdiocese. It found that a cover-up had taken place, with the church placing its own reputation above the protection of the children in its care. March 2010 There were revelations that Cardinal Sean Brady took part in an inquiry about the activities of notorious paedophile Brendan Smyth. These led to calls for his resignation. The Irish primate said if he would only step down if asked to do so by the Pope. July 2011 A report into clerical abuse in the diocese of Cloyne was damning of Newry-born Bishop John Magee. The report said Bishop Magee falsely told the Irish government and the health service that his diocese was reporting all new cases of child abuse to the authorities. Bishop Magee stood down in March 2009 after serving as bishop of Cloyne since 1987. May 2012 The BBC revealed that despite being told about other children being abused and other children at risk of abuse, Cardinal Brady did not alert their parents or inform the police. Roaccutane is the most powerful drug to treat acne and has been prescribed to more than half a million people. Campaigners say it is dangerous and can cause serious mental health problems. "Roaccutane is grossly overused," said Doctor Tony Chu, who thinks it should be used as a last resort. "I've seen patients who have been to see a local dermatologist to treat four or five spots and still been offered it. "If you read the guidelines it should only be used for people who have severe acne." The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is the government body responsible for licensing drugs and treatments in the UK. Dr June Raine, who speaks for the group, insists most people respond well to the drug and some are depressed before taking the drug. "It's been a highly effective treatment for tens of thousands of people," she said. "Depression is linked with a severe skin condition but it tends to get worse as the condition gets worse." Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Jones, from Dorset, took his own life last year. He had been taking Roaccutane and his family believe the drug was partly to blame for his death. His father, Derek Jones, says the acne deeply affected him. "His absolute self-loathing was because he had bad acne," he said. "The acne was to blame in the beginning but the Roaccutane added to what happened." Roche, the company which makes Roaccutane, says there is no cause or link between the drug and depression, or suicidal thoughts. Figures show only one in 10,000 people will experience such serious side-effects. More than half a million people have been prescribed Roaccutane worldwide. Latest figures show there were nine suicides of people who were taking Roaccutane recorded between September 2010 and September 2011. Billy: "Used when I was 19 with success. Is it chicken/egg case - would depression still occur without?" Trina: "I took Roaccutane for my skin when I was 14. Hellish drug with really bad side effects but it sorted my skin." Connie: "I took Roaccutane in 2011 and it changed my life. I don't think people should be denied that. So few people get side effects." Ben: "I was on Roaccutane from age 14 until nearly 16 and had no problems with it at all. It helped a lot and I've had no problems since."

The Ulster line-up includes Andrew Trimble, Ruan Pienaar and Rory Best. Saracens coach Mark McCall makes two changes from the opening 32-7 win over Toulouse, with hooker Schalk Brits and flanker Jacques Burger drafted in. South Africa hooker Brits replaces Jamie George and Burger returns in place of Will Fraser after a one-week suspension. Brad Barritt will captain Saracens - his 150th appearance for the north London club - while fellow England internationals Richard Wigglesworth and Owen Farrell continue at half-back.

Henderson joins Chris Henry and Nick Williams in the Ulster back row as the Irish province play their first game in the competition after the postponement of last weekend's match against Oyonnax. Captain Best links up with Callum Black and Wiehahn Herbst in the front row, with Dan Tuohy and Franco van der Merwe named in the lock berths. Springboks star Pienaar will start in the half-backs alongside Paddy Jackson for the first time this season. Friday's match will be the first European meeting between the clubs since Saracens beat Ulster in the Heineken Cup quarter-finals in Belfast two seasons ago. Ulster full-back Jared Payne was sent off in the early stages of that game and the influential Pienaar was also forced off by injury as Saracens won 17-15. Ulster number eight Nick Williams: "There is no element of revenge. It's a new competition, a new team with new personnel. "They have a very physical pack, they like to play a direct style and they are always tough to play against. "You look for a weakness in their team but you struggle to find one. "Toulouse were maybe a bit emotional given the events that occurred in France and they maybe played the way Saracens wanted them to." Saracens coach Mark McCall: "Ulster are one of the best in Europe, and we've had some classic battles with them in recent years. "I know how tough a place the Kingspan Stadium can be when it's rocking on a European night. "So to be facing them is a real challenge for us, but one that we are all very excited by."

The 27-year-old, who has two caps for Sweden, had been training with the Robins after leaving Watford in July. "He brings that experience, he's very assured as a human and also as a footballer," City boss Lee Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol. "He's very calm in possession of the football and he's very calm in his decision making and defending." The former Udinese man initially joined the Hornets on loan in 2012, before signing on a free transfer in July 2013, making 100 appearances in total.

It also suggested 39% said a family member had been affected. The research found 35% of respondents believed they or a family member had experienced stigma or discrimination because of their mental health. See Me Director Calum Irving said: "We all have mental health, it can be up or it can be down, any of us could struggle at any point. "To treat someone differently because they are going through a tough time isn't fair. However, we know that stigma isn't always intentional. People often don't speak about mental health because they are worried they will say the wrong thing or could make it worse. "But if no one speaks about mental health, then people won't feel comfortable asking for help when they need it." Mr Irving added: "A good new year's resolutions for all of us could be to open up a conversation on mental health. You can do that with a simple, 'are you okay?' You don't need to have all the answers, just talking to someone about how they feel can help." Some 111 years on from its founding, Fifa is now being technically run by an African for the first time - news which should of course be welcomed on the continent. But the acting Fifa president could never be accused of courting the media, preferring instead to make his distance as large as possible. Now though, a man who is far happier in the backrooms of power has been thrust into the limelight. For the next 90 days, while Sepp Blatter is suspended, he will be centre stage - and he may well find the spotlight more heated than ever. Following Blatter's suspension by Fifa's Ethics Committee, the long-standing Confederation of African Football president has taken interim control of world football's governing body in his capacity as its most senior vice-president. Born in northern Cameroon, Hayatou is the son of a local sultan and comes from a family of politicians - his brother was once the country's prime minister. Like Blatter, Hayatou is an arch politician - capable of reacting to the challenges coming his way with alacrity and skill. A sportsman in his youth, he has hugely expanded the traditional family field of influence - not just covering Cameroon, but first Africa, and now the world. For the record, he has been a Fifa vice-president since 1992, an Executive Committee member since 1990, and he has been running African football since 1988. The way in which Caf reacted to the gun attack on the Togo team at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations makes for a good insight into Hayatou's mind. He refused to reveal the actions that Caf took to address the crisis - flying a plane to the area that night to deal with the situation on the ground - because he didn't believe it was relevant for the public to know. In the vacuum of information, accusations against Caf's handling abounded. But then, as Tunde Adelakun - who has been working on an authorised biography of Hayatou - states, the latter is the son of a local ruler who was never once questioned in his official life. "He is heir apparent to the throne of Garoua, and that tradition [of not having to answer questions] has followed him into football governance," said Adelakun. (Caf responded to Togo's decision to withdraw from the 2010 event, following the tragedy in which two people died, by banning them from the next two tournaments - a decision the Court of Arbitration for Sport and Blatter helped overturn.) With a wealth of experience in football administration - he was Cameroon's director of sport in the mid-1980s - Hayatou is set to face a barrage of questions when he finally meets the press. Social media is already raising some of the accusations levelled at Hayatou in the past - all of which he has denied. Chief among these is his reprimand by the International Olympic Committee in 2011 over the nature of a payment he received from the defunct sports marketing company ISL between 1989 and 1999. According to the IOC, Hayatou admitted receiving a payment but denied any corruption, saying the money was a gift for his confederation. Then there were the allegations, heard by British MPs at a culture, media and sport committee in the House of Commons in 2011, that Hayatou had taken bribes related to Qatar's 2022 World Cup bid, which he again denied. Earlier this year, he also oversaw controversial changes to the body's rules on age limits so that he can continue his role. Caf officials used to have to relinquish power once they turned 70 - but that was changed this April when every member association voted to scrap the rule. It means that Hayatou, now 69, can reapply for office when his current term ends in 2017. The rule change follows success in recent years in adapting the statutes to limit potential opponents to Hayatou's rule. Caf previously brought in a rule that presidential candidates can only come from the ranks of its own executive committee, a tight-knit club closely controlled by Hayatou - a move that prevented Ivory Coast's Jacques Anouma from challenging. But his supporters will point to the following developments within African football as reasons to praise his work: Hayatou, who has a serious kidney illness that requires regular dialysis sessions, is currently in Cameroon's capital, Yaounde, and is expected to travel to Fifa headquarters in Zurich shortly. Reacting to his "promotion", he said he will not stand in February's elections to replace Blatter but would help reform the organisation. "We will also continue to cooperate fully with authorities and follow the internal investigation wherever it leads," he said in a statement. Hayatou tried to replace Blatter in the 2002 Fifa presidential elections - but failed to dislodge the Swiss. The phrase "be careful what you wish for" now comes to mind. A life-sized sculpture of the singer and entertainer will be revealed in Town Hall Square at 13:00 BST. It marks the end of a series of tributes to the star, including a heritage trail featuring blue plaques marking key locations in her life. Fields was believed to be the most highly paid actress in the world in the 1930s. Born in 1898, she made her first stage appearance in 1905 and went on to become a popular star of London's West End. Her travelling performances for troops during World War Two led her to become known as "the forces' sweetheart". She eventually retired to Capri in Italy, but never forgot her Rochdale roots and made frequent trips home to perform. Fields was made a dame in 1979 a few months before her death aged 81. The tournament was cut from nine weeks to seven in 2003, after previously featuring fortnightly rounds, but English clubs have reportedly put forward plans for a further reduction. "Those are probably people who aren't involved on a Saturday," said Biggar of the plans to re-shape the tournament. "It would be very difficult to back up the intensity the following weekend." Most of Wales' home-based players in the starting fifteen from the England defeat in round two were given the weekend off before facing Scotland, with the exception of Cardiff Blues wing Alex Cuthbert who scored in their 57-20 win over Treviso. Back-rower Ross Moriarty played 70 minutes of Gloucester's win over Saracens, while prop Tomas Francis was a replacement in Exeter's victory at Worcester. "I always find the autumn a lot more difficult because you've got four games on the bounce," explained Biggar. Media playback is not supported on this device "Sometimes you get a rest against the tier-two nation, but these rest weeks are key for us physically and in terms of preparation." Biggar, who has 53 caps, has come under pressure from 22-year-old Ospreys colleague Sam Davies for his starting place this season. "I know what goes on here, the coaches have been brilliant in just allowing me to play my game and do what I do," he said. "I said before the Italy game that if you want a fly-half who is going to make 25 breaks a game and bring the absolute X-factor, I am probably not your man. "But if you want someone who can steady the ship and do the basics well, then hopefully I am the direction you want to go down. It's trying to bring the best out of people around me who are a lot more talented and have a lot more X-factor than myself." Davies' release to the Ospreys for their 25-23 Pro12 defeat against Munster, after Biggar played the full 80 minutes for Wales against England, suggests that Biggar is likely to keep the number 10 shirt against Scotland in round three. More than 230 pupils were suspended on Monday for refusing to own up to the defacement of 27 books at their school. Eleven students in other provinces are already being prosecuted for insulting the president by defacing his photo, punishable by five to 10 years in jail. Burundi has experienced unrest over the last year triggered by President Pierre Nkurunziza's third term in office. His decision to stand for another five-year term and his subsequent re-election sparked protests from opposition supporters who said the move was unconstitutional. The BBC's Prime Ndikumagenge in the capital, Bujumbura, says the 234 pupils at Gahinga Secondary School in Ruyigi province were also prevented from sitting their end-of-year exams on Tuesday because they would not tell the authorities who had scrawled on the President Nkurunziza's photo. The students were asked to write down the names of those who had defaced the books and the names of those who had encouraged them to do it. "But they gave us blank sheets," local government official Aloys Ngenzirabona told the AFP news agency. The picture of Burundi's president is alongside those of two former monarchs in books on human sciences for grades eight and nine, our reporter says. Defaced pictures of the president were first reported in a school south of the capital last month. Guillaume Kwizera, head of education in Ruyigi province, told the BBC the students would remain at home until the investigation into all nine schools was complete. The authorities want to know if there a political motive behind the pupils' conduct. More than 400 people have been killed in unrest since April 2015. A report presented to parliament by Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault says the assault on 21 August involved the "massive use of chemical agents". It concludes that at least 281 deaths can be attributed to the attack. France and the US are pushing for punitive military action, which the UK parliament rejected last week. By Jeremy BowenBBC Middle East editor, Damascus I think people I've spoken to within the Syrian regime quite like being eyeball-to-eyeball with the US. I think they believe President Obama is bent on attacking Syria, in fact that's what they say quite openly. So while they describe the US decision to refer it to a vote in Congress as wisdom, they say it should also go back to the UN and that any action would be illegal if it didn't get UN authorisation. Since the Russians have said very openly in the Security Council that they wouldn't vote to authorise anything like this, and President Obama has said he's very comfortable going ahead without a Security Council resolution, that means in a sense, in the eyes of the Syrian regime, the battle lines are now drawn, and they are trying to get themselves ready for whatever happens. Damascus ponders looming US attack In pictures: Tension in Syria Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has again denied carrying out a chemical attack, telling the French newspaper Le Figaro it would have been "illogical". He also warned that foreign military action could ignite the "powder keg" of the wider region. The chemical attack took place in the Ghouta, an agricultural belt around the capital, Damascus. The US put the death toll at 1,429, including 426 children and has blamed the Syrian government, based on its intelligence. On Monday Mr Ayrault made public France's nine-page report into the incident, drawn up by military and foreign intelligence services. It says Syria's arsenal of chemical weapons is "massive and diverse", comprising "several hundred tons" of the nerve agent sarin and "dozens of tons" of the most toxic known agent, VX. The Syrian army had already used chemical weapons, including sarin, against the population several times, says the report, but on 21 August it launched an attack which involved "massive use of chemical agents". The use of chemical weapons can only be authorised by President Assad or "certain influential members of his clan", says the report, while opposition forces lack the capacity to carry out such a large-scale chemical attack. After his meeting with MPs, Mr Ayrault told reporters: "France is determined to penalise the use of chemical weapons by Assad's regime and to dissuade with a forceful and firm response." Q&A: Sarin nerve agent He said France would not act alone and that President Francois Hollande was "continuing his work of persuasion to bring together a coalition". President Hollande is constitutionally able to order an attack without parliamentary approval. French MPs are due to debate the issue in an extraordinary session of parliament on Wednesday. However, Mr Ayrault has ruled out a vote. UK MPs voted last week against taking part in military action. The US Congress will vote after it reconvenes next week, and White House officials have said that when it comes to a vote, they believe there will be enough support for the president. Senator John McCain, a long-time advocate of arming the Syrian rebels, said he believed it would take time to convince the American public of the need to intervene. By Mark MardellNorth America editor But he warned it would be "catastrophic" if Congress were to go against President Obama and vote against intervention. Mr Obama has often said that using them would cross a "red line" that would prompt US intervention. "It would undermine the credibility of the United States of America and the president of the United States. None of us want that," he said. Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Monday he was personally convinced that a chemical attack took place and that the Assad government was responsible. But he added that he did not envisage any further role for Nato, saying he would expect any military response to be "a very short, measured, targeted operation" and that the alliance's resources would not be needed. Meanwhile fighting has continued across Syria, in a conflict which has already left an estimated 100,000 people dead since 2011. In other developments: Forces which could be used against Syria: •Five US destroyers - USS Gravely, USS Ramage, USS Barry, USS Mahan and USS Stout - are in the eastern Mediterranean, equipped with cruise missiles. The missiles can also be fired from submarines, but the US Navy does not reveal their locations •Airbases at Incirlik and Izmir in Turkey, and in Jordan, could be used to carry out strikes •Two aircraft carriers - USS Nimitz and USS Harry S Truman are in the wider region •French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is currently in Toulon in the western Mediterranean •French Rafale and Mirage aircraft can also operate from Al-Dhahra airbase in the UAE Zoe Morgan, 21, and Lee Simmons, 33, were found with stab wounds at about 05:50 BST on Queen Street, close to Matalan. Police believe the man, from Castleton, Newport, was known to them and officers are not looking for anyone else. Both victims are from Cardiff and their families have been informed. Mr Simmons, of Grangetown, worked as a sales assistant and had been in a relationship with Miss Morgan since July. It is understood Miss Morgan, of Llandaff North, had studied fashion at the University of South Wales before starting work as a visual merchandiser at Matalan in June. A university spokeswoman said: "We are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Zoe, who had been a popular and well-liked student who was now doing well in her chosen career. "Our thoughts are with her family as we come together, as a close-knit university community, to support our students and colleagues who knew Zoe during her time with us." Melanie Davidson, Miss Morgan's manager at McDonald's where she worked for several years until she graduated, said she was "heartbroken" by the news. "I've never met such a kind, caring, sweet, loving and funny girl in all my 22 years of employment," she said. "She was beautiful, not just on the outside but on the inside." The arrested man, who remains in custody at Cardiff Bay police station, was detained at an address in Castleton within an hour of the bodies being discovered. Matalan chief executive Jason Hargreaves said: "Both of the victims worked at our Cardiff branch so understandably all of our colleagues are receiving our full support. "We extend our condolences to the families of everyone involved." The store remains closed and is due to reopen on Thursday. A post-mortem examination will be carried out on Miss Morgan and Mr Simmons. South Wales Police Ch Supt Belinda Davies said: "This incident occurred in the main shopping area in the heart of the city in rush hour and it has no doubt shocked the community of Cardiff. "We are in the very early stages of the investigation but I would like to add that at this stage we believe the suspect was known to the victims and it was not a random assault. "I would like to dispel speculation circulating as to the motive behind this tragic incident and make it clear that this is not being linked to terrorism and any links to the homeless community are unfounded." Queen Street was reopened by 12:50 - police activity had been focused close to Boots on the busy shopping street. A spokesman for the shop said: "We're deeply shocked and saddened by the incident that took place on Queen Street this morning and our thoughts are with the families affected." St David's shopping centre, which partially adjoins Queen Street, was open to shoppers, but some entrances were affected while investigations continue. One man, who was staying at a nearby hotel, said: "I saw somebody lying outside Boots and paramedics giving them chest compressions. It was not something you want to see ever." There were at least seven police vehicles at the scene when forensics officers conducted their investigation. "Business is a man's world [in Turkey], and I found that being a woman you have less room to make a mistake than a man," says the 42-year-old. "It may be sometimes difficult for male employees to take orders from a woman. "Therefore you have to be very disciplined, hardworking, and especially - be fair to all your employees." In a country where fewer than one in 10 business owners are female (according to the Women Entrepreneurs Association of Turkey), Ms Tuysuzoglu is held up as a role model for young women thinking of setting up their own companies. The business she herself leads is self-service restaurant chain Kirkpinar. She and her partners opened their first Kirkpinar restaurant seven years ago. They took the name from a region of Turkey which is renowned for the quality of its meat. Now the company has 33 branches across the country, and plans to open five more later this year. Ms Tuysuzoglu launched the business in 2007 after she had returned to Turkey following a number of years working in restaurants in the US and UK. From the outset she says cleanliness has been key to the success of the chain, which has positioned itself as a fresh, modern Turkish restaurant. The idea, says Ms Tuysuzoglu, was to evoke the feel of a "lokanta", the traditional Turkish restaurant, but just make it a lot cleaner. She explains: "In traditional lokantas you have excellent food, but maybe sometimes - how should I say - they are not as sanitised as you would think. "[In contrast], it was very important for us that we should be healthy, and clean. Super clean, like hospital clean." To help ensure that each restaurant is as clean as possible, the company sends out regular inspection crews, which Ms Tuysuzoglu often joins. To further keep the outlets on their toes, Ms Tuysuzoglu also makes surprise visits on her own. To prevent branch managers from warning each other that she is on her way she makes sure she does not simply go from one restaurant to another that's nearby. And despite being a founding boss of the business, she also does occasional shifts helping out in the restaurants. "I have worked as a cashier, I have worked in the grill area... or wherever I'm needed." For Ms Tuysuzoglu this is part of what it takes to be a good leader. She explains: "I never had this attitude of 'I'm a top executive, I'm not going to go to the store.' "I always wanted to be connected, both with the staff, and with the guests." Ms Tuysuzoglu adds that the business' modernity also extends to its food. While it serves traditional Turkish dishes, such as koftas or meatballs, it aims for the dishes to be healthier than the norm. "We modernised the Turkish cuisine a little bit, and mostly use ovens, instead of deep frying," says Ms Tuysuzoglu. However, Kirkpinar's commitment to healthy cooking met a challenge from an unexpected source - its customers. "Some guests came and said, 'You are from Kirkpinar region - why don't you have the liver?'" says Ms Tuysuzoglu, referring to a traditional Turkish dish called edirne yaprak cigeri, which is a deep-fried liver. Because the business favoured baking, rather than deep frying, Ms Tuysuzoglu said they had decided not to serve the popular dish. But the will of their customers won out in the end. And for Ms Tuysuzoglu it was a lesson in the need to be open to adapting. "We said, 'OK - guests want that. So we should be flexible in that sense.'" The decision to incorporate the fried liver into their menu was a profitable one, as it now accounts for a third of Kirkpinar's sales, which totalled $23m (£14m) last year. With a degree in hospitality management from Istanbul's Bogazici University, and another in business from Michigan State University in the US, Ms Tuysuzoglu has spent her entire working life in the restaurant sector. She says her time in the US was particularly helpful in honing her managerial skills. "Since I started working as a restaurant manager when I was just 25 years old in the US, I learned quickly how to work with people and how to be accepted," she says. "You also need to build your team and coach them." Now back in her homeland, and firmly established as a leading light in the country's restaurant scene, Ms Tuysuzoglu's story is used by the Women Entrepreneurs Association of Turkey to inspire more females to start their own businesses. "We find role models, and promote them to society," says Gulseren Onanc, the association's chair person. Ms Tuysuzoglu is also passing on her own knowledge by teaching restaurant management and cost analysis at Ozyegin University in Istanbul. She is also a director of the Turkish branch of Le Cordon Bleu, the French culinary institute, which is based at Ozyegin. By realising her own goals of helping to modernise Turkish cuisine, Ms Tuysuzoglu is well placed to help others - both men and women - achieve success in the country's restaurant industry. Corey Whitely bagged his 10th goal of the season for Dagenham, firing in directly from a corner to catch out Barrow goalkeeper Jonathan Flatt after 11 minutes. That lead lasted just under half an hour, before Liam Hughes smashed in a penalty after Craig Robson was fouled in the box with six minutes left of the first half. Moussa Diarra completed the turnaround after 57 minutes, nodding home from Danny Livesy's pinpoint free-kick delivery to secure Barrow's second win in six games.

Steven Cook, 20, from Sandbach, Cheshire, was last seen in 2005 outside a pub in Malia asking for directions. According to reports, a human skeleton was found near the area of the last reported sighting, along with a disposable camera and belt. Cheshire Constabulary said it was aware of the discovery and was liaising with Greek authorities. The family of Mr Cook has also been informed, police added. More about the find and other stories from across Cheshire Det Insp Gary McIntyre said: "At this early stage, the remains have been removed and will be examined in Greece to determine whether they belong to a female or a male." Mr Cook's mother Pat told The Sun newspaper: "We have been told that a skeleton has been found - we don't know what to make of it. It was a shock to receive the call after all this time, it's upset all the family. "But it's not the first time this sort of thing has happened. We are waiting to hear more from the Greek authorities." A 16-year-old girl was seriously injured in the incident at Crumlin Road on Monday evening. The girl became trapped under the car and police and local residents managed to lift it off her. She is being treated in hospital. "Very quickly a decision was taken the game would go on," said Greater Manchester Police's John O'Hare. The chief superintendent anticipates a "poignant" occasion in Stockholm. The UK terror threat level has been raised to its highest level following the bombing, which killed 22 people. Asked if postponing the match had been considered, O'Hare told the BBC: "That would have been discussed, but the whole rhetoric that has got to come out is terrorism can't win. We can't stop doing the things we enjoy and nourish our lives." He said Uefa, European football's governing body, had "changed some of the planning to be a bit more respectful and poignant". O'Hare added some potential trouble-making supporters from both sides had been identified, and details passed on to Swedish police. "You would like to think the events in Manchester would make people think twice about wanting to cause trouble and put things in perspective," he said. United fans and officials have said the final is secondary to the "pain and suffering" in Manchester since the attack. "I think what happened really put things into perspective," said United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward. "Words don't really do justice for how we all feel. We're numb." A minute's silence will be observed before the final in Stockholm, and both teams will wear black armbands. The opening ceremony will also be considerably reduced as a mark of respect for the victims. "Success tonight is nothing compared to the pain and suffering back home," Woodward told MUTV. "It was very sombre flying over with the directors - it was all we were talking about." Media playback is not supported on this device Ex-United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel says he cannot get excited for the final because of the attack and that football has become "very insignificant". "In many ways, football all of a sudden became very insignificant. I know it bears a lot of importance for next season what happens in the game tonight, but in many ways I can't get excited about this game," he told BBC Sport. "I think it's very difficult to think about football." Former United defender Phil Neville, who is in Stockholm working for BBC Radio 5 live, said the club's home-grown players will find it particularly "difficult". "When I was told I'd be working on this match, it felt like it was Christmas Day," said the 40-year-old. "But I don't want to be at this game now, I want to be in Manchester. "Players like Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard - they've been brought up in this city. Paul Pogba was brought up in the city from the age of 14. They will find if difficult. "From what would be the biggest games of their careers... it doesn't feel important." But he added: "Football, for 90 minutes, can bring a smile back to the faces of the people of Manchester." Rio Ferdinand, a former England and United team-mate, said the match was a chance for players "to show Manchester solidarity". He told 5 live: "Playing after such an unforgiving and devastating act, I don't think it matters whether you're a red or you're a blue, you want these guys to go out and represent Manchester and show the togetherness this city has got. "It will dawn on the players after that this is such a huge game not only for Manchester United Football Club but also for a player to show they can bring a community, a city, a country together by playing and showing that whatever goes on they will go out there and perform to the best of their ability." BBC sports news correspondent Andy Swiss, who is also in Stockholm, said there will be 1,200 police on duty around the 50,000-capacity Friends Arena, although there is no specific intelligence of any threat. United were given 9,500 tickets for the final, although more fans are expected in Stockholm for Wednesday's match. Several told BBC Radio 5 live it was a subdued atmosphere. One supporter said: "I don't want to be here, I didn't want to come. I've been getting messages all day: 'Look after yourself.' But it's them who have been targeted - it's Manchester, not Stockholm." Another said: "We can't get drunk, enjoy ourselves, take pictures of ourselves enjoying ourselves in nice scenery and send them back home to Manchester. We can't do that. The whole mood's absolutely flattened." One fan said the atmosphere at the airport was "like we'd already lost", adding: "There's lads I have known for years who are absolute jokers who were sat there so quiet. It's so sombre. We've got to win this now for the people of Manchester. I live near the Arena and was woken up by the sirens. It's heartbreaking." Another said: "Football does become secondary but what we won't do is fall to these people. All we can say is our thoughts are with these families. We'll get behind our team, and when the game's finished, our thoughts will turn back to these people."

"We have a job to do and we will fly to Sweden to do that job. It is a pity we cannot fly with the happiness that we always have before a big game. "I know, even during my short time here, that the people of Manchester will pull together as one."

British sprinter Asha Philip, the European indoor 60m champion, is due to compete in the 100m and hopes the public comes out to watch. "What can you do? We can't live our lives in fear. It's always going to be in the back of my mind, but we know it can happen anywhere," she said. A decision is expected on Wednesday on whether the Great Manchester Run, which features Europe's largest 10km run and a separate half-marathon, will go ahead on Sunday. Meanwhile, South African cricketers are said to be "uneasy" as they prepare for a one-day international against England at Headingley on Wednesday. The teams will wear black armbands as a mark of respect to those killed in the bombing, with a minute's silence observed shortly before the 14:00 BST start. There will also be an increased police presence inside and outside the stadium. South Africa team manager Mohammed Moosajee said: "As you can understand we have some genuine concerns, there was a lot of chatter during breakfast. "I am happy to say we've had constant communications from the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) and their security manager. "There have been guarantees put in place that security arrangements will be supplemented. We're told there will be more visible police at the stadium, at practice sessions as well as the hotels we will reside at." Additional armed police offers will be deployed at this weekend's big sporting events in London, said the Metropolitan Police. Wembley Stadium will host the FA Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea on Saturday. The arena's arch was lit red, white and blue overnight, with "For Manchester" written on its giant screens. Officials said there will be "an enhanced security operation for all upcoming events", and a Football Association spokesperson encouraged supporters attending Saturday's game to arrive as early as possible for additional checks. Police Scotland will be reviewing its in the coming weeks, including Saturday's Scottish Cup final. Premiership Rugby said there will be a minute's silence before Saturday's final between Exeter and Wasps at Twickenham. In the United States there was a moment of silence held before Tuesday's play-off games in the NBA and NHL, and the UK's national anthem God Save the Queen was played at Yankee Stadium in New York before a Major League Baseball fixture.

Openreach, owned by BT, maintains the phone lines and broadband connections for several companies, including BT Retail, Sky, TalkTalk, PlusNet and EE. BT Openreach says it does not recognise TalkTalk's figures. It says it does not publish its own. Since 2014, the regulator Ofcom has been setting Openreach targets to improve services, which Openreach claims to be meeting. However, Ofcom does not insist that Openreach publishes figures for the number of missed appointments it makes. BT customer Richard Palmer, from Cumbria, says his records show that over the past 12 months he has had 15 missed Openreach appointments. He told You & Yours: "For each appointment I'm expected to stay at home between 8am and 1pm. People say they'll call you back with more information and they rarely do, and I never received a phone call with an apology. It almost seems that customers are an inconvenience to them." Mr Palmer is a self-employed gardener, and says each appointment costs his business at least £90. BT allows customer to apply for £10 compensation for each missed appointment. Kim Mears, Openreach's managing director, told the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee that "multiple missed appointments" are one of the company's greatest failings. "When we get it wrong we repeat the problem." Figures from Openreach suggest it makes 345 "multiple misses" every week. That is when an engineer fails to turn up for an appointment with a customer who has already been failed once before. Openreach refuses to disclose the total number of missed appointments to the BBC, but TalkTalk revealed the number of appointments it misses with its customers. From the start of this year to 18 March, 9,110 customer appointments were "missed" by Openreach engineers. That is about 3% of the total volume of appointments. Openreach pays TalkTalk £56 per missed appointment, however none of that is passed on to the customer. TalkTalk claims not to be profiting from missed appointments, saying the compensation only helps it cover its "'logistical costs". The weekend-long event celebrates films, gaming, comics, anime and TV. Celebrities attending the show at the Exhibition Centre include Flash Gordon's Sam J. Jones. David Soul, Paul Michael Glaser and Antonio Fargas from Starsky and Hutch are also there with their famous car - the bright red Ford Gran Torino. Chris Barrie and Danny John-Jules from Red Dwarf and Dr Who's Peter Davidson are also making guest appearances. Three chicks have hatched at the Tweed Valley project this year. Volunteers watching the nest first saw the adult male osprey bringing them fish but then a "cheeky jay" appeared. It was seen picking up items from the back of the nest, thought to have been leftover fish, and eating them. Information officer Diane Bennett said: "A fish supper at the jay residence must be a welcome break from acorns! "The ospreys are not concerned that these morsels have been taken from the nest and clearly don't perceive the jay as a threat, which is strange, as the jay is certainly capable of taking the tiny osprey chicks at this stage of their life. "Maybe, the clean-up operation to remove fish debris discarded by the osprey family is welcomed for now, particularly as the chicks would never intentionally be left alone while they are so small."

Nigerians call the gargantuan traffic jams of cars, trucks, buses and vans "go-slows". Trying to get anywhere is often an exercise in patience and perseverance. But apart from the frustrations of driving here there is the serious health impact of air pollution. Many vehicles belch out huge dark sulphurous clouds of exhaust emissions - the effects of "dirty fuels". For the hawkers weaving and bobbing through the traffic selling an assortment of drinks and snacks, it is a toxic environmental to work in. "Sometimes I feel sick. I don't know what causes it - maybe the fumes or the dust," said one hawker who was selling tissues. "I have a little cough now. It's disturbing me but I don't think it's serious." But some relief for the hawker and many others left wheezing in Lagos is at hand. In a move described as a huge breakthrough by environmental campaigners, Nigeria is now tackling one of its major causes of air pollution. Last December, Nigeria was among five countries in West Africa that pledged to stop importing dirty fuel used for vehicles but also to power generators. The announcement followed a hard-hitting report accusing European companies of exploiting weak regulations in West Africa to export fuels with high levels of sulphur. The World Health Organisation ranks sulphur particles from vehicle engines and generators as one of the top global risks - it is linked to heart disease, lung cancer and respiratory problems. For decades, Nigeria relied on colonial-era standards, which campaigners say were woefully inadequate for today's needs. It meant that retailers could export fuel to Nigeria that had 300 times the amount of sulphur of that which was legally allowed to be sold in Europe. Now "dirty fuels" will be banned in July when the government starts enforcing tough new regulations - roughly in line with European standards. The government is currently giving importers a six-month grace period to comply with the new regulations. "The ban will send a strong signal to the importers that the government means business," says David Ugolor, Executive Director of Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice. "What's missing in Nigeria governance is trust. If the government wants to regain trust of the people it will need to keep on championing this kind of regulation." Despite being a major oil producer, Nigeria imports most of its fuel. But the government says that new refineries being built in Nigeria will also help alleviate the problem by producing cleaner fuel. Dr Olatomi Bamigboje, pediatrician and respiratory specialist: "Unless we tackle pollution, we're looking at an epidemic of respiratory problems, an epidemic of cardiovascular problems and an epidemic of chronic lung diseases." In pictures: Nigeria's 'city of soot' Health experts welcome the move but say even with the ban a lot more needs to be done to avert a crisis. "Urbanisation, industrialisation - all this contributes to air pollution," says Dr Olatomi Bamigboje, a pediatrician and respiratory specialist. "As the pollution gets worse, the likelihood is more people will get sick." In the last decade she's seen a doubling of the number of children suffering from asthma. "Unless we tackle pollution, we're looking at an epidemic of respiratory problems, an epidemic of cardiovascular problems and an epidemic of chronic lung diseases, which we may not be able to handle with the present health system we have. The big attraction of "dirty fuels" is they are cheap and the new regulations are likely to mean a hike in prices at the pumps. But if this ban is successful it will go a long to cleaning up Nigeria's air - and that will save a lot more than money.

Stand anywhere in Lagos and you can see the thunderous traffic, which gives this city an energy and intensity quite unlike any other.

The Italians have won all 11 knockout ties against Ligue 1 opponents. Monaco have never won a game in Italy in seven attempts. Only two teams have ever won a knockout tie in the competition after losing at home in the first leg and it has never been done from two goals down. Ajax overcame Panathinaikos in 1996 and Inter Milan managed to beat Bayern Munich in 2011 - both, however, only needed to recover from a one goal deficit. Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim has said that an early goal could be the catalyst for an upset. "We have to stay confident, try to play our game and put on a good performance and if we score at the start of the game, maybe that could change things," he said. Monaco, who themselves were the last French side to reach the final when they lost to Jose Mourinho's Porto in 2004, would also have to end Juve's four-year unbeaten home record in Europe and a run of six successive clean sheets in the competition. Both teams lead their own leagues and are on the brink of winning their respective titles while Juventus have also reached the Italian Cup final, putting them on course for a treble. Juventus forward Paulo Dybala limped off during Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Torino but coach Massimiliano Allegri said it was just cramp. "It was normal in the circumstances and towards the end of the season," said Allegri, who warned his team not to think about any another result than a win. "Monaco are a side with great talent and we have absolutely not yet sealed our qualification. We need to win the second leg," he added. Monaco's 18-year-old striker Kylian Mbappe, one of the hottest properties in European football, has scored 18 goals in his past 20 competitive games, while the team also features resurgent Colombian forward Radamel Falcao.

Monaco are hoping for a historic comeback as they try to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit in their Champions League semi-final against Juventus on Tuesday.

Kuwaiti student Mashael Albasman, 24, was found dead with 13 stab wounds in her Bournemouth flat on 30 March. Faleh Ghazi Albasman, 59, claimed it was an "honour killing" but psychiatrists found he had paranoid psychosis. He admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. He was sentenced to a hospital order at Winchester Crown Court and will be detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act until he is considered fit for release. The court heard Mashael had come to Bournemouth from Kuwait in order to study English in November 2013. Her father had accompanied her as a chaperone and was staying in the flat on St Michael's Road with Mashael when he killed her. A post mortem examination found wounds were inflicted to her neck, shoulder and back from behind and she had made no attempt to defend herself. Albasman then stabbed himself in the stomach and neck before going to the nearby Manchester Hotel where he told staff to call the police. He told an Arabic speaking doctor at Southampton General Hospital who treated his wounds: "I finished her... it's about honour." "She talked on the phone and didn't respect me. It was meant to be... an honour killing," Albasman later told police. Psychiatric reports following Albasman's arrest found he suffered a brain injury in the 1970s which left him in a coma for a month. Doctors concluded it led to him suffering from an "abnormality in mental function" which led to a "fatal outburst of aggression" after misinterpreting his daughter's actions after a build up of tension between them. The court heard members of Mashael's family had described her as "reserved, but unhappy and shy". They said she was "distressed and embarrassed" by her father's behaviour during their time in Bournemouth, when he would regularly accompany her to college. Justice Nigel Teare said a prison sentence was "not appropriate" before detaining Albasman indefinitely. They include photos posted to publicly-accessible parts of social networks. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a record number of reports in the first week of July, four times the weekly average. It comes in a week UK authorities arrested 660 people in connection with online child abuse. That investigation was believed to have been targeted at those using the so-called "dark net" - parts of the internet that are hidden and can be hard to access without special software. But the NCMEC stressed there was still a significant and growing challenge for law enforcement agencies to deal with material on the open internet as well as the harder-to-reach areas. In the US, all electronic communications providers (ECPs) have had to report any instance of child abuse on their networks to the Cyber Tipline provided by the NCMEC since 1998. Since many of the world's most popular communications sites, such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, are based in the US, the NCMEC works with authorities around the world to follow up leads provided by tips. The UK is among the 62 countries working closely with the NCMEC. In the week from beginning 29 June and ending July 5, 92,800 reports were made to the Cyber Tipline. Of those, the vast majority - 91,334 - came from internet firms, with the remainder being tip-offs from members of the public. On average, the NCMEC receives around 15,000 reports per week. John Shehan, executive director of the NCMEC Exploited Children Division, said the large numbers early in July may prove to be an anomaly. But he stressed the growing concern with social networks. "You wouldn't think someone would do it on Pinterest or LinkedIn," Mr Shehan said. "But any type of platform that allows people to post images or videos - they get used for the wrong reasons." While most would assume social networks are an unlikely place for illegal material to be shared - by people who would presumably want to hide any trace of their identity - Mr Shehan said several theories had emerged. "When you look at the types of offenders who have a sexual interest in children, there is a wide spectrum as far as their internet knowledge, and their backgrounds with being able to anonymise and hide their identities online. "If you look at where the content is being uploaded from - sometimes we see that it goes back to third-world countries. "Some of these are just starting to get high-speed internet access, and they may not be as sophisticated as some countries in using different anonymisers." 660 suspected paedophiles arrested 431 children have been protected 39 suspects were registered sex offenders 833 buildings searched 9,172 devices, including phones and laptops, seized The BBC contacted the leading social networks that report into the NCMEC. All stressed that the latest technology - which is able to spot known images of child abuse and flag authorities immediately - was deployed across the sites. LinkedIn confirmed that reports about child abuse had been made to the NCMEC, but that instances were extremely rare. Twitter, which is the subject of a campaign by internet activist group Anonymous to do more to quickly remove child abuse images, said it had a no-tolerance approach. A spokesman said: "When we are made aware of links to images of or content promoting child sexual exploitation they will be removed from the site without further notice and reported to the NCMEC, we permanently suspend accounts promoting or containing updates with links to child sexual exploitation." In the UK, there is no law that compels UK communications companies to inform the Cyber Tipline, or any similar service, about child abuse content discovered on their services. In a statement to the BBC, the NCA said: "The UK internet industry is very small in comparison to the US and no such equivalent legislation currently exists. "UK internet service providers voluntarily block access to known indecent images of children." The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) - the UK-based group that actively targets illegal content online - said that while it would be interesting to see the effects a US-style law would have, the UK's impressive record in stamping out child abuse meant existing rules were working. "Due to the cooperation we have with the online industry in the UK less than 1% of child sexual abuse imagery is hosted here, down from 18% in 1996," said Susie Hargreaves, the IWF's chief executive. Ms Hargreaves re-iterated the concerns of the the NCMEC that child abuse images were increasingly being spread on the open internet as well as the dark web. "This isn't a problem which is only found in hidden areas of the internet," she told the BBC. Within a year, the IWF had just four full-time analysts working on monitoring the internet. "We now have 12 analysts who are still working full time and due to our ability to proactively seek out the images and videos, we're able to identify around three times as many URLs as last year."

"The hatred, that all the fans don't like you and all our fans are behind us. "This is the whole point of being a footballer - that atmosphere when you go to stadiums like that." Sinclair was on target in the 5-1 Old Firm derby win at Celtic Park in September and also featured in the League Cup semi-final victory when the sides met at Hampden the following month. And the striker believes the intensity of the Old Firm derby is difficult to beat. "It's obviously the massive game. All the fans will be up for that one," he said. "I was on the bench but didn't play in the Man United derby. I played home and away against Cardiff when I was at Swansea but it doesn't compare to the Old Firm derbies up here, it doesn't come close to Celtic-Rangers. "It is so loud and hostile you can't hear any of your team-mates. It is great. These kinds of game are massive and just such a big occasion." Media playback is not supported on this device The former Swansea City, Manchester City and Aston Villa forward featured in Celtic's midweek victory against Partick Thistle after recovering from a hamstring injury. Sinclair netted the only goal of the game to secure a 12th straight league win and extend Celtic's unbeaten domestic run to 21 games. "Being out for three weeks, it felt much longer because of the run of games we have had and the games I have missed," he added. "It is always nice to come back and get among the goals - hopefully I can keep building game by game." Before the Old Firm derby, Celtic travel to New Douglas Park on Saturday to face Hamilton Accies before hosting Ross County on 28 December. A British Airways spokeswoman said it was diverted as a precaution. The plane, with 108 passengers on board, circled the International for a time before landing safely. One of those on board, Justin Hames, said passengers were told there was a problem with an engine. "As the wheels were going up, we heard the bang and that's pretty much it," he said. "To begin with they didn't say anything - they didn't want to cause any concern - and then they said it was a small problem with the engine." Alan Whiteside, operations director at Belfast International Airport, said: "Everything went smoothly, our own police and fire service on site here responded, the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service, the PSNI, the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service all attended as a routine. "But nobody was required to take any other action - the aircraft landed safely thankfully." Media playback is not supported on this device The visitors lived up to their pre-match promise to take the game to the only team left in the competition with the chance to take the Slam. But Warren Gatland's side were equal to the challenge, holding their nerve under the pressure of great Welsh expectations, to deliver victory in arguably their best season since the game went professional in 1995. A minute's silence before kick-off paid tribute to former Wales and Lions number eight Mervyn Davies, who died on Thursday. Davies had captained Wales for their 1976 Grand Slam. Wales said Davies' achievements had given them extra motivation, but it was France who went ahead first through a Dimitri Yachvili penalty. Giant wing Alex Cuthbert sliced through for a converted try to put Wales in front and two penalties from Leigh Halfpenny to one from Lionel Beauxis made it 13-6 to the hosts after an hour. These boys can be regarded as being as successful as the 1970s side - three Grand Slams since 2005 is fantastic. I think there was a mental and physical turning point in the World Cup and they have built on it Yachvili cut the gap to four points but Halfpenny's third penalty, with five minutes to go, saw Wales to their 11th Grand Slam in all. France's defence was outstanding throughout with skipper Thierry Dusautoir again leading it by fearless example and Philippe Saint-Andre's side were also far more capable with ball in hand than they had been in defeat by England in the previous round. But Wales were the better side and Dan Lydiate was the man of the match as he countered Dusautoir's defensive efforts. Wales enjoyed the early momentum, prompting the home crowd to burst prematurely into song in anticipation of what they expected to follow. But Jonathan Davies was twice thwarted on the left and Halfpenny saw a well-placed up-and-under come to nothing. Scrum-half Mike Phillips was then penalised near halfway, giving France their first attacking platform. Media playback is not supported on this device Julien Bonnaire set up the drive and after Wales were penalised Yachvili kicked the opening points. Both sides saw promising attacks falter because of their own indiscipline at the breakdown. Fly-half Rhys Priestland's first penalty attempt also rebounded off an upright while Halfpenny received treatment for a knock. But Wales lock Alun Wyn Jones executed a superb steal on the floor from Dusautoir and when the ball went right, Cuthbert cut past Bonnaire 30m out before bursting clear for the opening try after 22 minutes. Halfpenny added the conversion and after centre Davies's ball-freeing tackle on Florian Fritz, the full-back landed the penalty that resulted from the panic in the visiting defence. Full Six Nations table The up-and-unders were coming thick and fast from both teams amid the test of nerves. Overall, however, Wales won the tactical battle in the opening period with greater possession and greater territorial gains. A Jamie Roberts chip and chase created another Welsh chance as Dan Lydiate and lock Jones followed up to force another penalty, but Halfpenny saw it rebound off an upright to leave them 10-3 ahead at the break. Wales suffered a blow at that point with skipper Sam Warburton continuing his record of not having finished a game against France, this time because of a shoulder injury. Ryan Jones, sporting a Mervyn Davies-style headband a day after the death of the 65-year-old 1970s number eight icon was announced, came into a reshuffled back-row and Gethin Jenkins took over as captain. Cuthbert broke through on the counter-attack as Wales began the second period with familiar intent, but just as Beauxis had failed with a long-range drop-goal, Priestland's effort also failed to get off the ground. Gethin Jenkins illegally halted the threat after Palisson's dangerous chip-and-chase caught Wales out and Beauxis kicked the penalty. (delivered by Accenture) A frenetic period of end-to-end counter-attacking offered Halfpenny the moment he had been craving since a late, long-range penalty attempt fell short in Wales' failed 2011 World Cup quarter-final against France. This time the full-back's thumping kick crossed the bar with metres to spare to put Wales a converted try ahead with 27 minutes remaining, only for the French defence to come out on top in five-minute arm-wrestle on the visitors' 22 that followed. Having won that psychological battle, France failed to take advantage when their scrum was caught engaging early in Wales' 22. Wales also had a let-off when Imanol Harinordoquy failed to spot Louis Picamoles on his right after Halfpenny had lost control near his own line. Yachvili kicked the penalty that followed, but Halfpenny responded with a brilliant counter-attack that allowed him the chance to kick another penalty. Priestland saw a late drop-goal attempt go wide, but the home side were in control for the final play to bring down the curtain on their success.

But now Town are unbeaten in five games, having drawn 1-1 at Carrow Road in the Championship on Sunday. "I would hope that performance and result goes a long way to repairing our relationship with the fans," he said. "It's been broken at times. They've not enjoyed it, they've not been watching good, attractive, winning football. I get that, I've not been enjoying it particularly. "So over the last five games I think they've seen us play really well, and I would think helping stop Norwich in their tracks during a promotion push will endear us to our fans a little bit more." McCarthy's side are currently 15th in the Championship, 11 points above the relegation zone and 16 behind the play-off places. Jonas Knudsen opened the scoring for Town at the home of their fierce rivals, only for the eighth-placed Canaries to draw level after Jacob Murphy's shot squirmed through Bartosz Bialkowski. But Town's Polish goalkeeper pulled off a string of fine saves in a man-of-the-match performance, and McCarthy believes Bialkowski is the best in the division. "In my mind I haven't seen anybody better. He's outstanding," McCarthy told BBC Radio Suffolk. "He's kept them out, he's been brilliant and he's let the one in. It happens, but what was good was we didn't concede again, and maybe eight weeks ago we would have lost that game." Murphy's goal was his ninth of the season, but the midfielder said he took inspiration from Nathan Redmond's goal against Ipswich for Norwich in the 2015 Championship play-off semi-final. "I'd watched the goals from the previous games and Nathan scored a similar one two seasons ago at his near post," he told BBC Radio Norfolk. "So I knew that he would be vulnerable there. That was the thought process with that. You've got to exploit weaknesses." The 32-year-old Pole has only partial movement in his right arm after a crash in a rally car in February 2011, since when he has not raced on a circuit. However, he and Renault have maintained contact after an impressive first test back in an F1 car in Valencia in June. A further test has been scheduled but Renault would not reveal details. "There is nothing from us whatsoever," a spokesman said when asked about the date and location. Kubica was faster when he drove at Valencia in a 2012 car than Renault's reserve driver Sergey Sirotkin. And insiders say he has since driven the team's simulator and been as quick in it as lead driver Nico Hulkenberg, although this is not necessarily an accurate measurement of his on-track potential. Senior figures are excited about the potential for a return, a source said, but still sceptical of Kubica's ability to make a full comeback to F1 because of the restrictions imposed upon him by his arm injury. However, while a return is not close to happening, it is closer than it was before Kubica drove in Valencia last month. His F1 career appeared to be over when he suffered multiple fractures and a partially severed right arm in the February 2011 crash, which happened a few weeks before he was due to start his second season with Renault. Kubica had previously driven for BMW Sauber, winning the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix, and was considered one of the sport's brightest talents - rated by some in a similar bracket to multiple world champions Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel. Media playback is not supported on this device Kubica drove a Renault 2012 F1 car in a demonstration run at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on Sunday and told Sky Sports: "I know I can do pretty well behind the wheel of an F1 car already after one day of testing. So more can come from me. "It is a good feeling. It is something I was not expecting, to deliver so good straight away. "This gives me, not confidence, because I knew as a drive the skills are there, but a relief that can do it physically, that I can make the job. "I still know there is a long way to go and I need to do it step by step. If I have an opportunity, I will try to do my best. If not, I will search for something else. It has been a long time away from the circuit. "When you get to an F1 car and after one lap you see the pace is there, it is special emotions and I miss it so much. I am enjoying the moment because I have been through difficult days - but I could never believe I could be in this position four or five months ago." Media playback is not supported on this device Because of Kubica's physical restrictions, Renault need to change the cockpit controls so that all the control buttons are on the left-hand side of the steering wheel and adapt the gearshift so that up and down shifts are both handled by the left-hand steering wheel paddle. However, Kubica has yet to drive a 2017-spec car, which are faster and more physical than the one he has tested so far, and there are still question marks over his ability to operate an F1 car in all corners - tight left-handers are the main concern because of the restricted movement in his right arm. Renault's links with Kubica come as the future of Briton Jolyon Palmer, their second driver, is in doubt. Palmer has had a difficult first eight races of the season and the team have been considering replacing him for the second half of the year. However, no decision has yet been taken and the team insist their focus is on helping Palmer deliver the results they expect. Renault managing director Cyril Abiteboul said at the last race in Azerbaijan: "He has a contract with us. We are completely committed to helping him get through the period, which is a tough period, that's obvious. "He has no ultimatum, but having said that he has to deliver, like every single member of the team." UK scientists found one strain locked nitrogen in the soil, while another released a potent greenhouse gas. The findings came to light after the researchers sequenced Bradyrhizobium, one of the most active and abundant groups of soil bacteria. The findings were published recently in the journal Scientific Reports. The team from the University of Reading and Rothamsted Research were the first to sequence the genome of Bradyrhizobium from European soils, allowing the scientists to compare strains of the bacteria from different parts of the world. They collect strains of bacteria from various soils in a long-term experiment at Rothamsted Research, from plots that had been maintained as grassland or ploughed bare soil for the past six decades. Lead author Frances Jones, who carried out the study as part of her PhD study, explained: "Bradyrhizobium is usually known for its close relationship with plants and so the fact that it is present in bare soil is exciting. Prof Penny Hirsch, who leads the soil microbial ecology group at Rothamsted Research, added: "Discovering that one of the most abundant groups of bacteria in soil is potentially responsible for major nitrogen losses, and showing how different treatments affect this group in the long term, is an important step towards managing the soil to minimise fertilizer use whilst maintaining crop yields." International attention was focused on the ground beneath our feet during 2015, which was designated the UN International Year of Soil. Described as one of the most complex biological materials on the planet, a handful can contain billions of micro-organisms. It is estimated that just a centimetre of topsoil can take about 1,000 years to form. Recognising the importance of healthy soil for farming, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) requested the publication of advice of how to look after soil. It is thought that 2.9 million tonnes of soil is eroded each year, and soil quality is diminished by poor practices. SEPA principal policy officer Mark Aitken added: "The publication is also immensely useful because it highlights the importance of good soil structure in protecting and improving water quality, and also in helping to reduce flood risks." Rothamsted Research's Frances Jones said that there was a growing body of scientific work that considered the role of soil. "There seems to be more and more studies coming in that are looking at both plants and below-ground function rather than treating them as two separate things," she told BBC News. "It is becoming more common that people are looking at this interaction rather than separate environments."

US Secretary of State John Kerry has said it would be "disappointing" if Russia and China had helped him evade an attempt to extradite him. Mr Snowden, who has applied for asylum in Ecuador, is believed to still be in Russia having flown there on Sunday. White House spokesman Jay Carney said he did not believe Hong Kong's reasons for letting him leave. The US has revoked Mr Snowden's passport, and he is thought to have spent the night in an airside hotel at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport. On Monday, a seat was booked in his name on a flight to Cuba, but he was not seen on board when it took off. By Jonathan MarcusBBC diplomatic correspondent Diplomatic fallout over Snowden The 30-year-old IT expert is wanted by the US for revealing to the media details of a secret government surveillance programme, which he obtained while working as a contractor for the National Security Agency (NSA). He is charged with theft of government property, unauthorised communication of national defence information and wilful communication of classified communications intelligence. Mr Obama briefly mentioned the case at the White House on Monday, telling reporters: "What we know is that we are following all the appropriate legal channels and working with various other countries to make sure that the rule of law is observed." Speaking during a visit to India earlier, Mr Kerry said it would be "deeply troubling" if it became clear that China had "wilfully" allowed him to fly out of Hong Kong. "There would be without any question some effect and impact on the relationship and consequences," he said. He also called on Russia to "live by the standards of the law because that's in the interests of everybody". Later, Mr Carney said: "It is our understanding that he is still in Russia." In strongly worded comments at a news conference, he said Washington was "just not buying" Hong Kong's assertion that the US extradition papers were not in order so they had no reason to detain Mr Snowden. "This was a deliberate choice by the government to release a fugitive despite a valid arrest warrant, and that decision unquestionably has a negative impact on the US-China relationship," he said. What could 'they' know about me? Q&A: Prism surveillance Beware the humble contractor He added that senior US officials were briefing President Barack Obama regularly about all the developments, and called on Russia to use all options to expel the former US spy agency contractor. Meanwhile, Russia's Interfax state news agency quoted an informed source as saying Moscow was considering a US extradition request, but that Mr Snowden had not officially crossed the Russian border so could not be detained. Mr Snowden was in hiding in Hong Kong when his leaks were first published. During a visit to Vietnam earlier on Monday, Ecuador's Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino read out a letter Mr Snowden had sent to request asylum, in which he said he was "at risk of being persecuted by the US and its agents". Mr Patino confirmed that his country was processing an asylum request from Mr Snowden. Quito was in contact with Moscow who could "make the decision it feels is most convenient in accordance with its laws and politics and in accordance with the international laws and norms that could be applied to this case", he said. When asked whether he knew of Mr Snowden's current location, he declined to answer. "We will consider the position of the US government and we will take a decision in due course," he said, saying Ecuador put the protection of human rights "above any other interest". The US and Ecuador have a joint extradition treaty, but it is not applicable to "crimes or offences of a political character". Mr Snowden is being supported by the whistleblowing website Wikileaks, which said on Sunday that he was heading to Ecuador accompanied by some of its diplomats and legal advisers. Ecuador is already giving political asylum at its London embassy to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who is wanted for questioning in Sweden over allegations of sexual assault - which he denies. On Monday, Mr Assange said Mr Snowden was "healthy and safe", and travelling to Ecuador "via a safe path through Russia and other states". Profile: Edward Snowden He said Mr Snowden had left Hong Kong on a refugee document of passage issued by Ecuador, and was not carrying any NSA secrets with him. Mr Snowden's leaks have led to revelations that the US is systematically seizing vast amounts of phone and web data under an NSA programme known as Prism. He earlier said he had decided to speak out after observing "a continuing litany of lies" from senior officials to Congress. US officials have defended the practice of gathering telephone and internet data from private users around the world. They say Prism cannot be used to intentionally target any Americans or anyone in the US, and that it is supervised by judges. Bar stools and glasses were thrown as 1,500 people opposed to Israel's military action took part in a march. Nicholas Carter, 31, and John James Williams, 32, both of Bargoed, and Ahsan Malik, 56, of Aberdare, pleaded guilty to violent disorder . Daniel Smout, 25, of Oswestry, Shropshire, admitted affray. Prosecutor Huw Evans told Cardiff Crown Court it would be alleged that Smout started off the incident on 26 July by throwing a glass near the Mill Lane area. Four other men pleaded not guilty to violent disorder and will go on trial in June. Smout, Carter, Malik and Williams were told they would be sentenced at the end of that trial. A ninth man was not asked to enter a plea and will make a separate court appearance in May. Media playback is not supported on this device The Lionesses won all three of their Group D fixtures, progressing with Thursday's 2-1 victory over Portugal. After Echouafni said England would "not want to play France", Sampson said his counterpart's record did not match his. "He's played three won one, I've played 11 won nine," said the Welshman. "He'll learn who to talk about and not to. It'll be a good game and we respect a very good French team. We are looking forward to it. "We are an experienced team and I'm an experienced manager. The game is not played in this [press] room, lucky for them." Speaking on Friday, Sampson stood by his comments, telling BBC Sport: "We're a team of street fighters and when we're poked our reaction is to poke back. "I'm not the type to back down from a challenge, and I'm not sure this team are." Sampson was appointed England head coach in 2013. He has led the Lionesses to eight wins from 10 major tournament matches so far, including a third-place finish at the 2015 World Cup. Media playback is not supported on this device The French, ranked two places higher than the Lionesses at third in the world, have not lost to England since 1974. Les Bleues - who beat England 2-1 at the SheBelieves Cup in the United States in March - were among the pre-tournament favourites and were the seeded team in Group C. However, after a narrow opening win over Iceland, draws against Austria and Switzerland saw them edge in to the last eight only as group runners-up. They survived a major scare against the Swiss, coming from a goal down with 10 players to avoid a shock elimination. That, coupled with England's dominance of Group D, means the Lionesses will meet France on Sunday in Deventer at 19:45 BST. "We have three wins under our belt at the Euros, while France have one win," Sampson added. "We feel confident for these high-pressure games. We've got a two-day turnaround, but we'll be ready for France." England forward Nikita Parris, who scored the winning goal against Portugal, told Channel 4: "We've got so much momentum. "We can't wait to go into the France game now. I think France will be more scared of us than we are of them." England have been beaten by the French in the past three major tournaments, going out on penalties in the 2011 World Cup, losing 3-0 in the Euro 2013 group stages and suffering a 1-0 defeat in their opening game of the 2015 World Cup. Parris' goal against Portugal was her first at a major tournament. The Manchester City player told BBC Radio 5 live: "I didn't know what to do for a second, then I just ran to my mum in the crowd. "I'm so happy to finally get a goal in a major championship. It's massive to be playing here. And I want a medal round my neck, so hopefully we can kick on against France now." Barcelona's Toni Duggan, who opened the scoring in Tilburg, added: "I am so happy for her. The goal sums up her enthusiasm for the game. "She skipped a few challenges, poked it home and was then off to her family and friends in the crowd. To see her do that on the big stage, I was made up for her." England conceded their first goal of the championship to the Portuguese, who - like Scotland - were eliminated by Spain's superior goal difference in a head-to-head involving the three teams as all finished with three points. "We have more to give, we can improve," added Sampson, who made 10 changes to his side on Thursday. "From our experience, what we know about this England team is that we do get better as tournaments go on. "We are the only team to give players so many minutes which means at any moment we can call upon anyone. "So we go into this knockout stages exactly where we want to be, so it a great challenge for us to face France. "We want to win this tournament the right way and that means we want to beat the best teams. "We are in a good spot and there are some great teams in this tournament and we are certainly one of them." PC Jeremy Fowler, 40, from Brecon, Powys, was accused of attacking the man at Merthyr Tydfil police station. He had denied the assault, saying he merely rubbed the man's hair and face as a "bit of fun" while PC Matthew Davies held him to the floor. The officers still face an internal investigation over the alleged assault. PC Davies was cleared of assault at Cardiff Magistrates' Court last year, after he claimed the incident was nothing more than "horseplay". A spokeswoman for South Wales Police said the force "took these allegations against two serving police officers extremely seriously and a thorough criminal investigation into what happened took place". She said: "We immediately referred the matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission to ensure independent scrutiny." She said the alleged victim and colleagues affected by the incident had been supported throughout the investigative and court processes. "Now that the criminal proceedings are completed, significant attention will be given to internal misconduct processes, which will examine the conduct of police officers in relation to this case," she added. In a new book, Mr Blatter says he offered keen football fan Pierre Nkurunziza an ambassadorial role in exchange for the leader stepping down. Mr Nkurunziza declined and won a controversial third term in office. The Swiss foreign ministry confirmed it sought Mr Blatter's help but denied seeking Mr Nkurunziza's resignation. "The intention was to contribute to a peaceful solution in order to prevent the current crisis in Burundi," a statement said. The approach to Mr Nkurunziza took place in May last year, shortly after the protests began against his attempt to win another term. The Burundian leader is known for his love of football - he owns his own side, Hallelujah FC, and once coached a Burundian first division team. In his book, Mr Blatter is quoted as saying: "I proposed to the president... if it could be an advantage for him or his country, Fifa could deploy him as an ambassador for football in Africa, or the world." But Mr Nkurunziza said no and was instead re-elected in a poll boycotted by the main opposition parties, who saw the bid as illegal. Months of unrest have followed, with more than 400 people killed and tens of thousands fleeing the country. Mr Nkurunziza's office told the BBC the Burundian president had been approached by Mr Blatter, and that the then-Fifa chief was being used by powerful Western nations, without naming them. Mr Blatter resigned as boss of football's world governing body Fifa last year with the organisation mired in corruption allegations. He has since been given a six-year ban from football by Fifa for ethics violations. Palmira Silva, 82, was in her garden when she was attacked by Nicholas Salvador who stabbed and beheaded her, prosecutors said. The court heard he was armed with a wooden pole and machete and was arrested following a violent struggle in which he was tasered six times. The 25-year-old from Enfield denies murder by reason of insanity. Prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC told the jury the killing happened three days after Mr Salvador had lost his job, and there was no dispute he killed her. He said at the time of the killing, on the afternoon of 4 September last year, the defendant was living three doors away from Mrs Silva in Nightingale Road. On the day of the attack the defendant armed himself and beheaded two of his hosts' cats, because he thought they were "demons", the court heard. He then made his way through a few back gardens, smashed his way into a house and then attacked a car containing two members of the family he was living with. Mr Salvador then leapt over a wall into Mrs Silva's garden where she was repeatedly stabbed before being beheaded, the court heard. It was said Mr Salvador believed he was killing a supernatural entity in the guise of Hitler back from the dead, or a demon who had taken the form of a little old lady, Mr Rees said. The prosecutor told the jury the defendant ran off and was arrested in the front room of another house following a "violent and chaotic struggle" with police in which he was tasered multiple times and kicked and punched, but to little effect. He had shown signs of mental illness, repeating phrases such as "red is the colour" and "I am the king." One eyewitness had described how, before the attack, he looked like a headless chicken and appeared to be searching for more cats to kill, the court heard. In the weeks before the attack, Mr Salvador had shown signs of "odd behaviour" and developed an interest in "shapeshifters" - supernatural entities that can transform into another being or form. After being charged the 25-year-old was remanded in custody at Belmarsh prison before being moved to high-security Broadmoor Hospital due to his mental illness. Mr Rees said that psychiatrists would give evidence that he was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. Mrs Silva came to Britain from Italy in 1953 and ran a cafe with her husband. She had two children, six grandchildren and one great grandchild. Mr Salvador also denies a charge of assault by actual bodily harm by reason of insanity and assaulting a police officer after Pc Bernard Hamilton, received a leg injury which needed hospital treatment. The case continues. An email from NHS regional director Will Huxter asked specialist units to delay any planned operations to free up space for any possible emergencies. It revealed three children had to be taken out of the capital for treatment because there were no beds available. Medical Director Dr Mark Spencer said it was "not unusual" to cancel surgery. Seven hospitals across London provide paediatric intensive care with about 90 beds available for treatment. The note to the units from Mr Huxter, regional director of specialised commissioning (London), said: "The demand for emergency beds over the last week has been increasing." While he admitted this "is not unusual at this time of year" he wrote that "there have been periods where there have been no beds available". "I am therefore asking you to review the requirement to proceed with non-urgent elective operating lists... and to confirm all steps to reduce planned for intensive care", the email said. BBC London correspondent Karl Mercer said the NHS in London would not be interviewed and one paediatrician was told he could not speak about the measures. In a statement, Dr Spencer from NHS England (London), said it was "not unusual for hospitals to reduce planned surgery" at busy times. "This is to ensure that the sickest patients can receive the care they need when they need it most", he said. Over half of the demand for intensive care beds is unplanned. The winter months normally sees admissions rise because there is an increase in respiratory infections, especially those under 12 months old. A national review of paediatric intensive care is currently under way. London hospitals which provide paediatric intensive care His capture was supposed to be a show of power from Manchester United that they could still compete with Europe's elite for the best players. But as Angel Di Maria looks set to leave Old Trafford for French champions Paris St-Germain after a single year in the Premier League, BBC Sport looks at why the £59.7m Argentina international has failed on the stage which seemed ready-made for his talents. It all seemed so perfect. In the summer of 2013 Manchester United had been looking for a marquee signing with which to usher in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era. Cristiano Ronaldo could not be lured back from Real Madrid. Gareth Bale was chased but his heart was set on joining Ronaldo at the Bernabeu. Twelve months on, the need was more acute. Without the collective mental strength Ferguson so painstakingly forged, technical and physical deficiencies had been exposed during David Moyes' ill-fated tenure. Glamour was not required purely to make United fans feel good. It was a necessity if they were to compete with Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool, who had taken their Champions League place. Media playback is not supported on this device Real, back in the 'Galactico' business of accumulating star names, had one man too many following the arrival of one of the 2014 World Cup's stand-out performers, Colombia's James Rodriguez. Di Maria, man of the match in the Champions League final three months earlier, was deemed surplus to requirements and United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward swooped. The Argentine signed a five-year contract on 26 August, 2014, for a British record fee of £59.7m. Talk at the time suggested Di Maria would be paid in excess of £200,000 a week, with bonuses for winning the Premier League, Champions League and even the Ballon d'Or for the world's best player over the course of a five-year contract. His early performances suggested such optimism was justified. Di Maria scored a goal and claimed an assist in three of his first four games for United. The stand-out effort was a magical chip at Leicester on 21 September to put the visitors two goals up in a game they were eventually to lose 5-3. United fans were in thrall to their new number seven. Di Maria responded by saying moving to Old Trafford from Madrid represented a step up in his career. Working out why good things turn bad is a precarious business. The facts are that after the victory over Everton on 5 October, Di Maria did not score another goal until 4 January, when United beat League One Yeovil in the FA Cup third round. Did anything happen in between? Maybe not one seismic moment but a few events rolled up and made a big one seem all the more significant. In October, Argentina lost a friendly match 2-0 against Brazil in Beijing. Di Maria played the full 90 minutes. The air quality was not great, the temperature was high. Three days later, Di Maria featured for the final 17 minutes of a friendly against the Hong Kong national side. The round trip was approximately 12,000 miles. For a player who had not had much of a summer break because of his international commitments and had finished the World Cup with a thigh injury, the Far East trip must have been physically draining. In addition, United manager Louis van Gaal's search for his best formation - and Di Maria's best position in it - meant there was little consistency to his role. In the South American's first 16 United games, he played in six different positions, including central midfield and striker. As consistency continued to prove elusive, Di Maria's contribution seemed to be affected. As well as not scoring, he created only three goals in four months between 6 October, 2014 and 10 February, 2015. Media playback is not supported on this device A pelvic injury kept him out for virtually all of December. So a combination of likely fatigue, injury, lack of form and getting used to a new country and obvious language difficulties could all have been playing on his mind on 31 January, when thieves attempted to break into Di Maria's mansion in Cheshire. Although the intruders did not gain entry, they did smash a glass door and the mental impact on Di Maria's wife, Jorgelina Cardoso, and their young daughter, was so great they are now living in a city-centre apartment, which, while luxurious, is hardly ideal for family life. On the pitch, Di Maria's slide continued. Sent off in the FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Arsenal on 9 March, Di Maria was a substitute in six successive games following his return from suspension. He did start the final match of the campaign against Hull, only to limp off with a hamstring injury after 23 minutes. This combination of circumstances led to Di Maria becoming extremely unhappy and wanting a move. As recently as Sunday, Van Gaal said he hoped the Argentine would stay. Yet the Dutchman has also stated at various times over the past year it is counterproductive trying to keep unhappy players. The difference between this situation and goalkeeper David De Gea's possible move to Real Madrid, for instance, is that while the Spaniard is a relaxed presence around the United camp, Di Maria has not joined up with the squad in the United States on their pre-season tour while his future is thrashed out. Paris St-Germain were keen on taking him last year and are now offering a get-out. For United, the bitterness of losing a player of such talent is eased by a transfer system which means, financially, they may not take the massive hit it first appears. Because of the strength of the pound and the change in exchange rates in the past 12 months, plus the way the initial transfer fee was structured, if PSG agree to pay the reported 65m euros (£46.05m), United's overall loss would be less than £10m. United fans have been here before. Juan Sebastian Veron arrived with enormous fanfare - and a then British record £28.1m price tag - from Lazio in 2001 but lasted only two seasons before he left for Chelsea. Sir Alex Ferguson also broke the club transfer record when he paid Tottenham £30.75m for Dimitar Berbatov in 2008. The Bulgarian did win the Golden Boot in 2010-11, but finished the campaign not able to get a place in United's Champions League final squad. Within six months he had left for Fulham. Yet possibly more than those two, Di Maria's eventual exit will leave a sad sense of 'what might have been' purely because his talent has been so obvious in the past and his departure so swift. "I don't understand it," said Ryan Chelva, a fan from Australia who saw United beat Barcelona 3-1 in Santa Clara, California, without Di Maria at the weekend. "If you sign someone as good as him, you have to give him more than a single season. "He played really well in his first couple of months. He proved he can play under Louis van Gaal. He proved he has the talent. Now it looks as though he is leaving. It is hugely disappointing." "Considering the position the car ended up in, the potential for much more serious injuries is clear," an ambulance spokesman said. The accident happened at about 06.35 BST on Sunday on Ravensbank Drive, in Redditch, Worcestershire. All three women were taken to hospital for head and back injuries. A spokeswoman for West Mercia Police said they were investigating the incident. More stories from Herefordshire and Worcestershire "When crews arrived they found a car lying on its side against a tree, off the side of a bridge," the spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said. "The three women inside had managed to get out of the vehicle themselves and were back up on the roadside." The 35-year-old driver of the silver Peugeot was treated for glass to the eyes, abrasions to both legs and possible back injuries. The 39-year-old front seat passenger had a head injury and pain in both legs while the 29-year-old in the back seat had back pain and a head injury. They have spent days battling up the Khumbu Icefall between Base Camp and Camp One, with many new crevasses giving way. Despite this, the "icefall doctors" managed to reach Camp One this week. The icefall is one of the most dangerous stretches of the route to the world's highest point. Team leader Ang Kami Sherpa told the BBC Camp One appeared to have dropped from its earlier height and that much of the equipment left behind by mountaineers in the spring has been buried under thick snow. "Snow is still piling up in many areas because avalanches have continued in the region probably because the mountain slopes overlooking the icefall have been shaken by the quake," he said. The Sherpas say they have finished repairing the route between Base Camp and Camp One, while only a small stretch to Camp Two remains to be done. "Now that we have fixed ropes and ladders with all that difficulty, it will not be as difficult for the mountaineers but it will certainly be harder than the usual climb for them." The 25 April quake killed more than 9,000 people around Nepal. It caused avalanches in the Everest region, killing 18 people at Base Camp. Further avalanches then made it impossible for icefall doctors to repair the route, leading to the cancellation of all expeditions this spring. The route-fixing Sherpas went back two weeks ago to prepare the path for the autumn expedition season which begins this month. Only one team, with two Japanese climbers, is climbing Everest this year. They're currently at Base Camp. One of them, Nobokazu Kuriki, plans to go it alone from Camp Two. But other teams scaling Lhotse and Nuptse will also be using the same Khumbu Icefall route. In May 2014, a massive avalanche killed 16 support climbers, prompting Sherpas to boycott all expeditions. That prompted authorities to move the climbing route towards the middle of the Khumbu Icefall to avoid climbers being hit by avalanches this year. China is yet to reopen its side of the route to the Everest summit after it was closed following landslides in Tibet caused by the April quakes. The Nepalese government and the country's tourism industry have been trying to reassure tourists that Nepal is now safe to return to. Officials said 30 teams with more than 200 climbers had obtained permits for this season. More than half will attempt Mount Manaslu, the world's eighth highest mountain, which is in one of the worst quake-hit areas to the north west of Kathmandu. The chairman of the Expedition Operators' Association Nepal, Dambar Parajuli, said climbers had encountered no problems so far. Andreas Martin Muller, who has the alias Abu Nusaybah, is alleged to be one of the gunmen who attacked a military base in Lamu county. Eleven al-Shabab fighters and two Kenyan soldiers were killed. Another foreigner, Briton Thomas Evans, also took part in Sunday's assault and was killed in the fighting. Sunday's attack is part of a growing number of assaults in Kenya carried out by the Somalia-based Islamist al-Shabab group. Al-Shabab fighters killed 148 people in an attack on Kenya's Garissa University College in April. The reward is part of a police campaign known in Kiswahili as Kaa Chonjo Usinyamaze ("Be alert, Don't Keep Quiet"), which was launched to combat the threat from the jihadists. In April $20,000 was offered for information that would lead to the arrest of two al-Shabab fighters suspected of being involved in the Garissa attack, but it is not clear if the police have any useful intelligence on their whereabouts, the BBC's Ruth Nesoba reports from Nairobi. Kenyan soldiers fight in the African Union force which is battling al-Shabab in neighbouring Somalia. Net income at PSA Group, which also owns Citroen, jumped 92% last year to 1.73bn euros (£1.47bn). PSA's possible purchase of GM's European brands has raised fears of job losses at Vauxhall in the UK. On Wednesday, PSA said it had promised Theresa May it would "develop" the Vauxhall brand if the deal goes ahead. But it offered no further commitments to protect the 4,500 jobs making cars at Ellesmere Port and vans in Luton. The two firms are expected to sign a statement of intent during the next two weeks. General Motors announced last week it was in discussions over selling its European brands, Opel and Vauxhall, to PSA. That prompted speculation that the French company would cut capacity by closing plants. Politicians in Germany and the UK have begun lobbying on behalf of their own locations. On Wednesday evening UK Prime Minister Theresa May spoke to PSA chief executive Carols Tavares on the telephone. During the call, PSA chief executive Carlos Tavares "expressed his willingness to develop further the iconic Vauxhall brand for the benefit of its faithful customers", PSA said in a statement. PSA said its operating margin, the level of profit it makes on sales, had risen from 5% in 2015 to 6% in 2016. It is the third year in a row that operating margin, sales and net profit have improved at the group, which flirted with bankruptcy in 2014. As a result of the company's improved performance, chief financial officer Jean-Baptiste de Chatillon said PSA was in a position to make "profitable investments in the interest of our shareholders". However, he added that the outcome of the talks with GM were not yet certain. According to Carlos Tavares, Opel needs help. It has, he says, been making red ink for 10 years and burning 1bn euros in cash every year. If you put it that way, it's easy to see why General Motors wants to get rid of it - but why is PSA Group so interested in taking it on? In today's press conference, Mr Tavares set out a few reasons. And one of them seems to be the international reputation of German-built cars compared to their French rivals. In some countries, he said, French-built cars simply don't sell. He didn't specify where, although the United States would appear to be a prime example. Combining the two companies would also generate cost savings. And having engineered a rescue for PSA itself, when the French giant came close to going bust in 2014, Mr Tavares knows how to turn a failing business around. So there's logic in the planned deal. But Mr Tavares can have no illusions about the political sensitivities involved. Despite his promises to honour existing labour agreements, analysts believe job cuts at some point are inevitable. So the road ahead could be a rocky one. The incident took place in the Tonk district of Rajasthan province. The injured have been taken to the local government hospital. It is not yet known what caused the electric wire to fall. Police and other local officials are at the site of the accident. There were discussions in 2015 over creating a ring-fenced 14-team league, but this plan has now been shelved. "What is most important for us is the energy within the league," Premiership Rugby chief executive Mark McCafferty told BBC 5 live. "For the next few years, within our current agreement, that is the case." Bristol's relegation to the Championship next season has already been confirmed, although they will be given a reprieve if either Ealing or Doncaster win promotion. "Bristol is a big city, a big rugby club with lots of heritage, and they are investing for the long-term," McCafferty added. "So I don't think it will be very long before we see them back in the Premiership. "But we have to be very careful we do generate [that energy], and there are examples of leagues around the world in rugby where there isn't relegation, and it can become a little bit predictable at the bottom end of the table. "No relegation wouldn't have seen growth of the likes of Exeter particularly and Worcester as well. So we have to try and strike that balance." Meanwhile London Irish and Yorkshire Carnegie have met the Minimum Standards Criteria and will go up to the Premiership if they win the Championship play-offs. However, with only two clubs in the second-tier capable of promotion, McCafferty acknowledges the need to grow the Championship on and off the field. "I think the gap is getting bigger commercially. On the field there is probably not as big a gap as there is off the field," he added. "Finding the right structure for the Championship is quite important, and we have to work with the RFU and the Championship on that. "We can't ignore that level of the professional sport, because it is very important within the whole system." Susan Aucott, 55, of Alfred Street, Northampton was looking after Molly-Mae Wotherspoon when the American pit bull called Bruiser attacked the baby. Northampton Crown Court heard her admit to being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog resulting in death. Molly-Mae's mother Claire Riley 23, of Merrydale Square, Northampton denied the same charge. Aucott is due to be sentenced after the trial of Ms Riley. Molly-Mae died on 3 October 2014 following the attack at her mother's former home in Morning Star Road, Daventry. She had suffered severe blood loss from head wounds. The dog was put down at the scene. Wallace was stopped by police near his flat in Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire at 03:15 on 1 June. The 24-year-old was also fined £600 at Stirling Sheriff Court. He was previously suspended from the British and Scottish swimming programmes for three months after admitting the offence. The court was told that Wallace, who was part of the GB men's 4x200m silver medal-winning relay team at last year's Olympics in Rio, thought he was fit to drive. Prosecutor Laura Knox said: "Police officers stopped the vehicle in question in connection with a document check, and spoke to the accused, who was driving. "They could smell alcohol and he was required to provide a specimen of breath." Ewen Roy, defending, said the swimmer had been drinking with friends in Stirling on his day off from training. Mr Roy said: "He advises me he wasn't drinking constantly throughout the day and also that he'd had plenty of food. "He then took what he thought was a reasonable length break from drinking before driving the two miles home. "He thought he was fit to drive. Clearly that was a significant error." Mr Roy said that Wallace was "very conscious" he had let himself down, as well as his friends, family and colleagues. Mr Roy said: "He fully appreciates that as an athlete he is a role model, and accordingly far better conduct is expected from somebody in his position." The court was told Wallace, who trains at Stirling University, will miss the British Summer Championships in July as a result of his suspension. Last week, British and Scottish Swimming found the drink-driving was a violation of the athletes' code of conduct. Outside court, Wallace said: "I am extremely disappointed that I have let people down. "Now I am moving forward and looking towards the future." It means he is now qualified to fly in the Russian vehicle when it launches him to the International Space Station (ISS) for a six-month stay in November. It also means he can be on standby for the next crew launch at the end of May - just in case someone has to drop out. "Major Tim", a former army helicopter pilot, will be the first UK-born, European Space Agency astronaut to live aboard the ISS. The test involved a six-hour session in a simulator at the Star City cosmonaut training complex near Moscow in Russia. "This exam is the culmination of many months of training on the Soyuz spacecraft, which is our means of transport to and from the International Space Station," he told the BBC. "Although it was a fairly long and gruelling test, it was also a very interesting and enjoyable experience. "We conducted all phases of flight: launch, rendezvous, docking, undocking, re-entry and landing - during which time our examiners kept us busy with several emergency situations. Unfortunately, though, we can't now relax - we have to do it all again in six months when we will be the prime crew for launch!" The Esa astronaut's mission to the ISS will be known as Principia, in honour of Sir Isaac Newton. The action, although widely expected, prompted the pound to fall by 1.5% against the dollar. The FTSE 100 closed up 105 points at 6,740.16, higher than the same day last year. The pound was down 1.5% against the dollar at $1.3120 and was down 1.3% against the euro at €1.1799. "We got a Goldilocks dose of stimulus from the Bank of England today, not too dovish and certainly not too hawkish," said Neil Wilson, markets analysts at ETX Capital. "The inclusion of corporate bonds in the QE programme is noteworthy. It's going to deliver another sugar rush for the FTSE 100 and it's no doubt going to spur additional borrowing by investment-grade companies who can then use the funds to finance share buy backs," he said. "The weaker pound is also good news for the blue chip index, as earnings predominantly come from abroad," Mr Wilson added. Another analyst pointed out that both the FTSE 100 and the pound have been stuck in a range for weeks. "What is interesting... is that this still leaves both instruments [FTSE 100 and pound/dollar] within the same trading brackets they have been bouncing around for the last few weeks, reflecting, perhaps, the extent to which today's action from Carney and co. was expected," said Connor Campbell, financial analyst at SpreadEx. "It also doesn't necessarily give either the UK index or sterling any fresh direction for the coming weeks and months, leaving both at the mercy of the next wave of Brexit-impacted data," he said. The biggest loser on London's leading index was pharmaceutical company Hikma. It plunged by 17% after a late release on Wednesday, warning profit at its generic drugs unit would fall this year. Insurance giant Aviva was a winner, rising 7% after announcing a 13% half-year operating profit rise. Outsourcing company Serco was up 10% after it raised its 2016 profit forecast for the second time this year. It voiced a positive note on Brexit, saying it could bring opportunities - as well as costs. Standard Chartered Bank saw another good share price rise of 5%, building on Wednesday's 4.2% gain on results. Police seized printing plates and thousands of editions overnight on Friday. Cable television is also reported to have been shut down. More than 40 people have died in recent clashes in the area. The crisis was sparked by the killing of a prominent separatist militant, Burhan Wani. More than 1,500 others have also been injured in fighting between protesters and the security forces. A curfew remains in place - along with curbs on mobile and internet access. "The clamp-down was necessitated as Pakistani channels that are beamed here through cable television network have launched a campaign aimed at fomenting trouble here," an unnamed Jammu and Kashmir government minister told the Reuters news agency. "Some newspapers were also sensationalising the violence... We will take a decision on [their] restoration after 19 July." The Greater Kashmir, Rising Kashmir and the Kashmir Observer, are among the titles who said they were affected. Abdul Rashid Mukhdoomi, printer and publisher of the Greater Kashmir, said that there were no orders "under which the printing and circulation of our newspapers were stopped". Mid and West Fire and Rescue Service used cutting gear, hydraulic spreaders and winches to free the man following the crash between Newcastle Emlyn and Cenarth at 16:50 BST. The driver was airlifted to Morriston Hospital in Swansea. The road remains closed in both directions. Official figures show the average increase in 2016/17 will go up to £1,374 which includes county council, community council and police precepts. Blaenau Gwent is the most expensive area where the annual fee stands at £1,695, with Neath Port Talbot and Merthyr Tydfil following behind. Pembrokeshire has the lowest rates at £1,071. Every local authority area will see a rise in taxes as councils try to balance their books in the wake of continuing budget cuts. Welsh Local Government Association chief executive Steve Thomas said the latest rises were "consistent" with those over the last 10 years. He added: "We are trying to run more services based on council tax income. "Would we like it to be lower? Possibly, but if we are going to pay for these services, the council taxes are vital for local authorities." Last week, a report found a shake-up of the council tax system and a re-valuing of homes was needed, 11 years since tax bands were last reviewed. Media playback is not supported on this device A clearly frustrated Murray was far from his best but reached the second round of the Australian Open with a 7-5 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 win over the Ukrainian. The Scot, attempting to win his first Australian Open title after five final defeats, won in two hours 48 minutes. Fellow Briton Dan Evans beat Facundo Bagnis of Argentina in straight sets. Evans, the world number 51, saved three set points before winning the opener in a tie-break, then broke Bagnis in the first game of the second set. A break of the world number 65's serve in game nine gave Evans the second set, and he wrapped up a 7-6 (10-8) 6-3 6-1 victory to set up a second-round match against Marin Cilic. Murray, 29, made a nervy start and lost the first game with three double faults and a forehand error, but took control to serve for the set at 5-3. However, Marchenko broke the Scot again to draw level, only for Murray to raise his intensity and take the set after 55 minutes. Murray became increasingly frustrated in the second set, berating himself for his errors and unusually sluggish movement, as his opponent grew in confidence. The Ukrainian, also 29, hit a series of powerful forehands and deft volleys to take the lead in the set. Murray had to fight hard to force a tie-break, but once again the top seed did enough when it mattered to win the set after a marathon 76 minutes in hot conditions. The gruelling effort seemed to affect Marchenko in the third set and Murray took advantage to win it without any complications. He faces Russia's Andrey Rublev in round two. "I don't think it was the best match," said the Wimbledon champion. "The conditions were pretty different to what we've been practising in. "Last week's been pretty cool. When it's like that, the ball is bouncing a bit lower and it is a bit easier to control. I was a bit tentative because of that. "And I didn't serve that well either. So you end up having to work really hard on a lot of your service games when it's like that." BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller It was a very hot afternoon and therefore I think you could say Murray expended a little more energy than he would wish. His first serve will be a concern - it can't be easy serving in the sun - but the heat is not really a huge factor for him. All in all, he looked in pretty good spirits. I don't think he'll be hugely concerned but there are things to work on. British number four Aljaz Bedene lost 7-6 (9-7) 7-5 0-6 6-3 to 36-year-old Dominican Victor Estrella Burgos. Bedene, ranked 108 in the world, was 5-2 up in the opener but Estrella Burgos took the first two sets. The Slovenia-born Briton eased through the third set, but Estrella Burgos progressed after three hours and nine minutes.

The show, a romantic drama set in the American South in the 1920s and '40s, received five nominations but left Sunday's ceremony empty-handed. The show, which opened in New York in February, will close on 26 June. Martin confirmed the news on Twitter, telling fans they had "two more weeks-ish" to see its "incredible" cast. "Thank you for shining so brightly for us!" the show's producers wrote on their own Twitter feed. Martin and Brickell performed with the show's cast at Sunday's Tony awards, where Bright Star was up for five awards including best musical. The show, which tells of an unwed mother whose daughter is put up for adoption, received positive reviews but has earned only moderate returns at the box office. Martin and Brickell have recorded two albums together: 2013's Love Has Come for You and 2015's So Familiar. The first album, whose title track won its creators a Grammy for best American roots song, formed the basis of their on-stage collaboration. This year's Tonys were dominated by hip-hop musical Hamilton, which received a record 16 nominations and ended up winning 11.

Bright Star, a bluegrass musical written by comedian Steve Martin with singer Edie Brickell, is to close on Broadway after failing to win a Tony.

They are the second party to announce that they will not join the DUP and Sinn Féin in the Stormont executive. Last week the UUP said they would do the same. Earlier, the First and Deputy First Minister accused the SDLP of being "dishonest" during Stormont's programme for government negotiations. It followed Mr Eastwood saying he was "very disappointed" over the talks. Making his announcement on Thursday, Mr Eastwood said: "It is clear that the DUP and Sinn Féin are determined to put forward a framework that includes no action, nothing that they can be held accountable for or to." Stormont has just become a much more open political battleground. With the SDLP and the Ulster Unionists both choosing to go into opposition rather than government the assembly is a very different place. Up to now, most rows have been within the family of the all-encompassing power-sharing government. Which is not to say that at times the disputes weren't bitter. Then again most in-fighting within families is. But now there will be big parties openly heckling and challenging decisions from the outside. That is a major change and some commentators will claim that it could lead to better politics and policy being more aggressively tested. However, that all depends on getting the executive working again and the Alliance Party's decision to turn down the justice ministry is a problem. The DUP and Sinn Fein need to find a mutually acceptable candidate to take up the politically sensitive post. In Northern Ireland which politician takes responsibility for policing and prisons is important. The fact that the first and deputy first ministers have had conversations with an independent MLA and the Green Party indicates they are looking at every option. He said the SDLP would work with anyone who was happy to work with them but "this will be a positive and constructive opposition, not opposition for opposition's sake." In a statement, UUP Leader, Mike Nesbitt, said he was "delighted" that the SDLP had chosen to go into opposition. He said: "I am confident it will lead to new beginnings and possibilities for devolved government. "We have been heartened by the extraordinary level of support which we received since we made our decision last Thursday and I am sure the SDLP will receive similar praise and encouragement." Sinn Féin MLA, Conor Murphy, said the SDLP had "walked away" from its responsibility to the electorate and had been led by the UUP into opposition. "By walking away from the executive, it is clear the SDLP has abandoned its responsibility to the electorate," he said. "On the back of yet another poor election, the SDLP has now turned its back on the Good Friday Agreement. "Their excuse that they did not understand the Programme for Government process is both dishonest and contradicted by their engagement in that process since December." DUP leader, Arlene Foster, said the smaller parties were searching for "relevance" following the election on 5 May.

SDLP leader Colum Eastwood has announced that the party will go into opposition in Northern Ireland.

The cryptic card was sent to the Williams couple, whose former home in Bradninch, Devon, is being excavated by police searching for a baby's body. It was written to the "West Williams Menagerie" in 1990 and suggests the Wests were on a canal holiday. David and Pauline Williams lived near the Wests in Gloucester in the 1990s. David Williams was jailed for life in 2015 and his wife Pauline for 12 years for putting 10 girls and boys through rape, sexual assault and beatings. Devon and Cornwall Police officers are excavating at a bungalow they lived in for about two years before they were sentenced. The postcard, made public by the Crime Through Time Collection at former Littledean Jail in Gloucestershire, was written by Rose West. It includes the line: "Colin says the 'birds' are very friendly here. Loads of wildlife", and is signed "Mum & Dad". Andy Jones, from the museum, said: "It shows in coded form and innuendo that the Wests ran a child sex ring and the Williams were part of it. "They talk about the Williams menagerie - a menagerie means animals." He said there was also a "strong reference" to an orgy. He believes the Wests had left their children with the Williams couple, as the postcard refers to daughter Mae. "It's compelling evidence of a strong connection between the two families," he said. David Williams, who ran a pub in Gloucester where Fred West drank, boasted in court last year of his connections with the Wests. David and Pauline Williams, who are both in their 50s, started abusing children in the late 1980s. One victim was seven years old. They also ran the Victoria Inn in Exeter after moving to the city in the 1990s, where they went on to abuse a string of teenagers. Fred West was awaiting trial on 12 murder charges when he hanged himself in prison in January 1995. Rose West was convicted of 10 murders in November 1995 and is serving life. The charges related to the deaths of young women over a 20-year period. Emergency teams called to a block of flats in Charles Road in the early hours said the man had apparently fallen from a flat above. Officers who were called to the scene at about 04:45 GMT said the man had gone through a utility room ceiling. "Despite efforts to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead at the scene," a spokesman for Sussex Police said. Ministers had given universities £2.1m a year for the Financial Contingency Fund (FCF) but now say higher tuition fee income means institutions can afford to fund the scheme themselves. The National Union of Students (NUS) said the funding was "vital". However, £7m is still available and some universities are understood to be launching their own schemes. The average pay-out to students who are successful in applying is about £400. The National Union of Students (NUS) said the funding was "vital" to allow many students to stay in education. NUS Wales President Beth Button said: "I am truly shocked that our government in Wales has taken a page out of the Westminster playbook and decided to scrap hardship funds for higher education. "The decision to announce this just weeks before the start of the academic term will not only leave many students who rely on this funding deeply concerned about their finances but universities with no time to find alternative ways to fill this black hole." Tim Nagle, a married student nurse from Rhondda with one child and another soon to be born, said he cried when he heard about the funding cut. In a letter to Education Minister Huw Lewis, Mr Nagle, who studies in Cardiff, said: "When I applied to the fund this year I was, of course, aware that it is discretionary funding but did not anticipate it being scrapped without consultation. "When I saw on social media that it had been scrapped I actually shed a tear as I instantly worried how I would be able to cope for the rest of my training without access to the fund if required." A Welsh government spokesman said the continued squeeze on budgets imposed by the UK government meant ministers had to make difficult funding decisions, but said financial help would still be available in the further education sector. The spokesman said higher education institutions' income would have risen by nearly £200m by 2016, through higher tuition fees paid by home students and the recruitment of more international students. Ministers believe higher education institutions "are now able to use their own discretionary funds to aid their own students who face financial hardship", the spokesman added. The figure was contained in a report issued by the company entitled How Google Fights Piracy. But the BPI, which represents the UK's recorded music industry, dismissed the document as "greenwash". It says the firm remains "one of the key enablers of piracy on the planet" and had the expertise to do better. The term greenwashing is typically used to attack disinformation used by organisations to make out they are more eco-friendly than they actually are. The BPI said it felt the term best captured the situation. Content ID was launched in 2014. It is designed to detect copyright-infringing material and allow the rights holders the choice of whether to block it or make money from ads attached to the clips. Google says it has invested more than $60m in the technology. "The music industry, for example, chooses to monetise over 95% of sound recording claims," the report states. "Our continued investments in Content ID have resulted in ongoing improvements to its function - from its inception as an audio-only detection system, it has grown to detect video and can now even detect melodies, helping further stymie bad actors' efforts to fool the system." Google said that more than 50 million reference files were now contained in Content ID's database. It added that the system accounted for the majority of the payments it had made to the music industry. The BPI is not the only organisation to have taken issue with the report. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) described Content ID as being "ineffective". "Record companies and publishers estimate that Content ID fails to identify 20-40% of their recordings." It also suggested a recent change to Google Search's algorithm had failed to reduce piracy. "Google's search engine continues to direct internet users to unlicensed music on a large scale," it said. The row comes at a time when music labels are renegotiating their deals with Google. Two billion dollars. It's the sort of figure Dr Evil might come up with… but it's not enough for the music industry. It says that YouTube's business is built on music, but it isn't paying a fair price. The BPI's latest figures suggest that British labels made just £24.4m from video streaming last year, compared to the £146m generated by audio streaming sites like Spotify, Apple Music and, ironically, Google's own Google Play service. YouTube, meanwhile, claims its users are not natural music consumers - so any money it generates is essentially a bonus. What's more, when fans upload music unofficially, it gives artists and labels the chance to turn those videos into a new revenue stream. The rhetoric is ramping up as the labels negotiate new contracts with Google this summer. But who holds the upper hand: The people that create the music, or the ones who broadcast it to billions of fans? We'll have to wait and see. Some artists - including Taylor Swift, U2 and Sir Paul McCartney - have suggested US copyright law should be amended to make it easier for them to sue YouTube and other sites that host their material. At present, services are protected if the offending clips were uploaded by members of the public. "Protecting and fostering creativity online is a priority for Google," blogged Google's senior policy counsel Katherine Oyama. "We remain committed to investing in efforts to address copyright infringement online, collaborating with rights holders and protecting the interests of our users." The A$365m ($276.8m, £222.8m) offer would see Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting hold 67%, with the rest held by Chinese firm Shanghai CRED. The bid hopes to overcome government concerns about foreign investment. Previous Chinese-led bids were blocked by the government, which cited national security concerns. Treasurer Scott Morrison said the sale of Kidman's vast holdings to Chinese buyers was not in the national interest. The landholding - with its 10 cattle ranches, a bull breeding stud and a feed lot covering 101,411 square kilometres (39,155 square miles) in four states - encompasses about 1.3% of the Australian continent, about the same size as South Korea. But it also contains the world's largest cattle station, Anna Creek. Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board said it was concerned part of that property was inside a military weapons testing range in South Australia. Kidman has since taken Anna Creek farm out of the sale. The new offer, led by Ms Rinehart, will also need regulatory approval. Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce said he welcomed the interest by the Australia-led consortium. "I'm always enthusiastic when ... a majority Australian company is buying Australian land," he old Australian Broadcasting Corporation. "Most Australians prefer it if a large Australian asset is majority owned by Australians as opposed to majority owned by foreigners." 101,411 sq/km of overall territory 77,300 sq/km to be sold 1% of Australia to change hands 15,000 tonnes of beef carcass shipped globally per year Kidman was founded in 1899 and with Anna Creek accounts for about 2.5% of the country's agricultural land. It is currently 33.9% foreign-owned. The company's chairman John Crosby welcomed the "significant investment proposed in addition to the purchase price and (we) are confident that the Kidman business will be in good hands". The destroyer collided with a Philippines container ship in Japanese waters in June. The deputy chief of naval operations, Admiral Bill Moran, said the commanding officer and two other senior crew would no longer serve aboard the ship. He said the Navy had lost trust and confidence in their ability to lead. The Filipino-flagged ACX Crystal collided with the USS Fitzgerald in the early hours of 17 June in Tokyo Bay, causing a large gash below the water line of the destroyer and flooding lower decks. "The collision was avoidable," the US 7th Fleet said in a statement, adding that "both ships demonstrated poor seamanship". The dead sailors, aged 19 to 37, were later found in their bunks, after divers gained access to damaged areas of the ship. The commanding officer was trapped in his cabin by the force of the collision and five sailors had to use a sledgehammer to break down the door. "Even after the door was open, there was a large amount of debris and furniture against the door, preventing anyone from entering or exiting easily," a report into the incident said. The ACX Crystal sustained lighter damage to its port bow. There were no injuries among the 20 Filipino crew members on board the container ship. USS Fitzgerald crash: In pictures Investigations into the cause of the crash continue. According to maritime rules, vessels are supposed to give way to ships on their starboard side which is where the destroyer sustained damage, sparking questions over whether the US ship could have been at fault. Striker Kane, 22, has made one start and three appearances as a substitute for Saints this season and recently signed a new two-year deal. He scored six goals for the Perth club last term. Central defender Kerr, 20, yet to debut for St Johnstone, spent two campaigns on loan at East Fife under Queens boss Gary Naysmith. "He's a decent height and having played further up the park earlier in his career, he is comfortable on the ball," said Naysmith of Kerr. "He's scored a few goals for East Fife from the back so he is a threat at set plays." Kane has experience of the Championship, having spent time at Dumbarton on loan in 2013-14 and 2014-15 and scoring 15 goals in 30 games. "He's a proven goal-scorer in both the Premiership and Championship," Naysmith told the club website. "He is our type of player, a young lad who wants to develop. "Chris has become a bit frustrated at not playing every week, so to develop his career he wants to come to try to get a regular game. "We have two experienced strikers in Derek Lyle and Stephen Dobbie that he can learn from." Mark Chung, who officers have advised the public not to approach, was reported missing from Castle Huntly at 10:00 on 3 October. Police described him as being of Asian appearance and speaking with a Merseyside accent. They said he was known to have connections in both Glasgow and Merseyside. Chung is described as being 5ft 9in tall, of stocky build and has a shaved head. When last seen he was wearing glasses, a grey sweatshirt, grey jogging bottoms and black and grey trainers. Low cognitive test scores for skills like language indicate less developed brains, possibly caused by too little stimulation in early life, they say. These youngsters are more likely to become criminals, dependent on welfare or chronically ill unless they are given support later on, they add. Their study in New Zealand appears in the journal, Nature Human Behaviour. The US researchers from Duke University say the findings highlight the importance of early life experiences and interventions to support vulnerable youngsters. Although the study followed people in New Zealand, the investigators believe that the results could apply to other countries. They followed the lives of more than 1,000 children. Those who had low test scores for language, behavioural, movement and cognitive skills at three years old went on to account for more than 80% of crimes, required 78% of prescriptions and received 66% of social welfare payments in adulthood. It is known that disadvantaged people use a greater share of services. While many of the children in the study who were behind in brain development came from disadvantaged backgrounds, poverty was not the only link with poor futures. When the researchers took out children below the poverty line in a separate analysis they found that a similar proportion of middle class children who scored low in tests when they were three also went on to experience difficulties when they were older. The researchers stress that children's outcomes are not set at the age of three. The course of their lives could potentially be changed if they receive support later in life, for example through rehabilitation programmes when they are adults. Prof Terrie Moffitt, from Duke University in North Carolina in the US, who co-led the study, told BBC News: "The earlier children receive support the better. "That is because if a child is sent off on the wrong foot at three and not ready for school they fall further and further behind in a snowball effect that makes them unprepared for adult life". Prof Moffitt said nearly all the children who had low scores in cognitive assessments early on in life went on to fall through "society's cracks". "We are able to predict who these high cost service users will be from very early in life. "Our research suggests that these were people who, as very young children, never got the chance that the rest of us got. They did not have the help they needed to build the skills they need to keep up in this very complicated and fast-paced economy". She said society should rethink their view of these people who are often condemned as "losers" and "dropouts" and instead offer more support. Prof Moffitt conducted the study with her husband, Prof Avshalom Caspi, from King's College London. He said he hoped that the study would persuade governments to invest in those in most need early on in life. "I hope what our study does is not feed into prejudice," he told BBC News. "I hope that our research will create the public compassion and political will to intervene with children and more importantly offer services to families of children so they can get a better start in life". Successive governments have invested in expanding nursery education in the UK over the past 20 years. According to Josh Hillman, who is the director of education for the Nuffield Foundation, policy makers already realise the value of early years education. "But this new research suggests that they may have underestimated its importance," he said. "The issue now in the UK is to provide more high quality nursery provision and to consider targeting it to those disadvantaged groups that would benefit the most." Participants were members of the Dunedin longitudinal study, an investigation of the health and behaviour of a representative group of the population of 1,037 people born between April 1972 and March 1973 in Dunedin, New Zealand. As adults these people account for only 20% of the population - but they use 80% of public services in an analysis of a group of people in New Zealand whose lives were tracked for 40 years. Follow Pallab on Twitter The victim was the only person on board the plane, which came down at Turweston Aerodrome, Buckinghamshire, on Thursday. A Thames Valley Police spokesman said the force was called at about 11:30 BST. He added: "Sadly, the pilot of the aircraft was pronounced dead at the scene. The death is not believed to be suspicious." The Air Accidents Investigation Branch dispatched a team to the crash site. William Matchett, a former RUC Special Branch officer, has also advised on policing in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has written a book about Special Branch during the Northern Ireland Troubles. Mr Matchett said the type of terrorism the UK now faces differs in some key ways to that faced in the Troubles. "When you look at this new threat and the way it's manifested in England, particularly looking at vehicles, looking at cars and knives to kill people - it's very quick, it's very dynamic and it happens within seconds," Mr Matchett said. "It's a totally different ball game to what I grew up with in Northern Ireland, where the terrorist essentially attacked someone. It was very short, it was sharp and then they looked to get away. "In England, in the last three series of attacks, that's not been the case - they actually hang about and try to kill as many people as possible. "So the quicker that it's stopped the better and, in that respect, it's very hard now to stand up against every police officer carrying a sidearm and that's through from your neighbourhood beat, your community officers, to plain clothes officers - that everyone on and off duty has a sidearm." Seven people were killed and 48 injured Saturday night's terror attack in London. Three attackers were shot by police from an armed response unit minutes after driving into pedestrians on London Bridge and stabbing people in Borough Market. An off-duty policeman - an amateur rugby player - was stabbed after tackling one of the three attackers. He remains critically ill. A British Transport Police officer, who faced the attackers armed only with his baton, was seriously injured but is now in a stable condition. All police officers in Northern Ireland are armed on duty and have personal protection weapons off-duty, however, Cressida Dick, commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said she does not believe this should be the case in the rest of the UK. "I personally do not support the routine arming of every single police officer on the streets," she told BBC Five Live on Monday. "What these terrorists want to do is completely change the nature of our society. "I think the public and my officers do not feel comfortable with the idea of every single officer being armed. "Secondly, I actually don't think it necessarily provides, in fact it doesn't provide, a higher form of protection for the public or indeed the officers, necessarily, and we've seen that, for example, sadly, tragically in France - a lone officer, armed. "In other countries where you have someone armed with a sidearm who is going about his normal business as a community officer - they are also very, very vulnerable. "So to have people who can deal with this kind of very complex terrifying threat strikes me as the right way to go."

Researchers reporting in Nature Photonics suggest putting not one beam of light down a fibre, but a pair, each a kind of mirror image of the other. When recombined on the receiving end, the noise that the signals gather in the fibre cancels out. These paired beams can travel four times farther than a single one. The team used the technique to send a signal of 400Gb/s - four times faster than the best commercially available speeds - down 12,800km of optical fibre, farther than even the longest trans-oceanic fibre link. What limits the distance a given light signal can go is how much power is in the beam. But the higher the power, the more the light actually interacts with the material of the fibre, rather than merely passing through it. That adds "noise" to the beam that limits the fidelity with which data can be transmitted. What is needed is a way to undo this noise, and one idea is known as phase conjugation. Light waves, just as sound waves and waves on the sea, consist of a pattern of peaks and troughs that can be manipulated to represent data. The "phase conjugate" of a beam is, in a sense, simply one in which every peak becomes a trough and vice versa. This is effectively the same thing that noise-cancelling headphones do: generating the inverse of incoming sound so that the two cancel out. Ideas exist to make use of phase conjugation to "undo" the noise that fibre links add, but they involve adding devices midway along the links' length - sometimes, in the middle of an ocean floor. "Sometimes you may send data from London to New York, sometimes you may send it from London to Paris. The links are changing and you cannot keep sending people to the middle of the link," said lead author on the new research Xiang Liu of Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, US. What Dr Liu and colleagues instead suggest is creating a pair of phase-conjugate beams, each carrying the same data. And as Dr Liu explained to BBC News, the noise that each gathers is equally a mirror image of that on the other. "At the receiver, if you superimpose the two waves, then all the distortions will magically cancel each other out, so you obtain the original signal back," he said. "This concept, looking back, is quite easy to understand, but surprisingly, nobody did this before." If the noise on the beams can be undone, the power can be ramped up - making data go literally further. But since fidelity can be maintained, there can be less of the repetition of information in a given beam that is used for error correction. So the phase conjugation method is also a way to get higher data speeds. "Nowadays everybody is consuming more and more bandwidth - demanding more and more communication," Dr Liu said. "We need to solve some of the fundamental problems to sustain the capacity growth." That is a reflection of David Cameron's long-held belief that ministers need time to master their briefs so moving them merely strengthens the hands of those inside and outside departments who are resisting their agenda. It would be a mistake, however, to see only the continuity and not the change. The prime minister wants his new majority government to prove that the Tory election slogan - the real party of working people - is just that. Hence Tory HQ's desire to highlight the appointment as business secretary, Sajid Javid, whose father was a bus driver and a new party vice chairman, Robert Halfon, who's argued for what he calls blue collar conservatism. That, though, is not the change that really matters. It is the fact that there are no Liberal Democrats in this cabinet, there is no deputy prime minister, there is no "Quad" - in which David Cameron and George Osborne were forced to negotiate with Nick Clegg and Danny Alexander before any important policy could be announced. This is a Tory cabinet unbound. The question that remains unanswered is how much that will change what they want and feel able to do. The 25-year-old Scotland lock is currently recovering from a broken arm sustained in his only club appearance this term. "The last couple of years have been a frustration for me but I'm looking forward to being fully fit for pre-season," said Gilchrist. "I'm really hungry to play for Edinburgh again and looking forward to giving my all." Gilchrist fractured an arm bone playing for Edinburgh in October 2014, just days after being named Scotland captain for the autumn Test series. He recovered in time to feature at last year's World Cup but picked up a groin injury in his second game of the tournament. Returning for Edinburgh for the first time in 16 months in February, Gilchrist suffered his second broken arm as a second-half replacement in a Pro12 loss to Ospreys. "I'm delighted to be staying and really excited about next season," he added. "This is the club I have grown up with. I came through the academy here and I've now been part of the first team for over five years. "I care a lot about the club and I really believe we've got the players and the culture at the club to have prolonged success." 28 July 2017 Last updated at 12:56 BST Want to know why she loves bows so much or her advice for what to do when you feel nervous? We asked and JoJo answered! As president, Ben Ali was credited with delivering stability and a measure of economic prosperity, but he received widespread criticism for suppressing political freedoms. Six months after he was ousted, he and his wife were found guilty in absentia by a Tunisian court for embezzlement and misuse of public funds, and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Ben Ali was born to a modest family near the city of Sousse in 1936. After completing his education in France and the US, he rose up the hierarchy in the Tunisian security establishment, and served as ambassador to Poland in the early 1980s. He became prime minister in 1987, shortly before ousting Tunisia's first post-independence ruler, Habib Bourguiba, in a bloodless palace coup. President Bourguiba was declared mentally unfit to rule. Ben Ali promised a gradual transition towards democracy, though in his first two presidential polls - in 1989 and 1994 - he was elected unopposed. When multi-party presidential elections were introduced in 1999 they were still one-sided affairs, with Ben Ali winning huge majorities. The constitution was changed twice so he could continue to serve. He won his final five-year term in 2009, with his share of the vote dropping just below 90%. Under Ben Ali's rule, Tunisia saw steady economic growth. It was praised for a progressive stance on women's rights and for economic reforms. Tunisia's beaches were a top destination for European tourists. But unemployment among a swelling population of young people remained high, and large sections of the Tunisian interior remained poor. In the style of many Arab rulers, Ben Ali's face became a constant presence in Tunisia, with giant posters of the president visible in public spaces across the country. Political protest was not tolerated and human rights groups accused Ben Ali's regime of unfairly arresting and mistreating political dissidents. Under the surface, there was resentment against the perceived corruption surrounding the ruling elite, some of which was detailed in US diplomatic cables published by Wikileaks at the end of 2010. Ben Ali was married twice with six children. His second wife, Leila Trabelsi, played a prominent role in Tunisian public life and reportedly helped amass huge economic holdings for her extended family. With no obvious rivals to Ben Ali, there was speculation that he was looking to pass on power to one of his relatives. In the final days of 2010, a series of protests began in the centre of the country after a young graduate set himself on fire when stopped from selling fruit and vegetables without a licence. The protests, advertised widely through social media networks, gradually spread. Ben Ali initially blamed the demonstrations on a fringe of "extremists". But he changed tack on 13 January, expressing deep regrets for the deaths of protesters, pledging to introduce media freedoms, and promising not to stand in 2014. But his offer of concessions failed to quell the unrest, and the following day, after huge crowds took to the streets of Tunis and clashed with the security forces once again, he fled the country. Sian Blake, 43, played Frankie Pierre in the show between 1996 and 1997. She went missing from her home in Erith with Zachary, eight, and Amon, four, last month. Her silver-beige Renault Scenic was found in Bethnal Green, east London, on Sunday. Scotland Yard's Homicide and Major Crime Command is leading the search. Police said this was due to concerns about the family's welfare, although they said the investigation continued to be a "high-risk missing persons" inquiry. Officers also said they were concerned for the welfare of Ms Blake's partner, Arthur Simpson-Kent, 48. Ms Blake, who police said suffers from a "serious, life-threatening condition", was last seen on 13 December in Waltham Forest, north-east London. Mr Simpson-Kent has not been seen since 16 December when officers spoke to him at the family home. Police said they did not know if the family was still together. Scotland Yard said the Homicide and Major Crime Command (HMCC) was leading the inquiry and looking into whether the family may have been victims of a crime. Det Ch Insp Graeme Gwyn said the couple and their children had been missing "for a considerable period of time" and police were growing increasingly concerned. In particular, he said, police did not know if Ms Blake was "receiving the medication and treatment she requires to keep well". She was believed to have been in the London area and also has links to Cambridge as well as Colchester in Essex. Ms Blake is about 5ft 2ins (157cm) tall, of slim build with short black hair, police said. She often wears glasses, but may use contact lenses. Mr Simpson-Kent is a 6ft 2in (188cm) tall. Bu'n Brif Weinidog am bron i 10 mlynedd, cyn ildio'r awenau ym mis Tachwedd 2010. Wrth roi teyrnged iddo, dywedodd y Prif Weinidog, Carwyn Jones: "Mae Cymru, nid yn unig wedi colli gwleidydd mawr, ond mae wedi colli ffigwr tadol. "Fe wnaeth gymaint i frwydro dros ddatganoli ac yna sicrhau fod y sefydliad yn ennill ei le yng nghalonnau pobl ein gwlad. "Fe fydd degawd gyntaf datganoli, a'r broses o wneud penderfyniadau a dewisiadau penodol i Gymru yn cael eu cysylltu am byth gyda'i arweinyddiaeth ef." Mae'r Blaid Lafur yng Nghymru, Plaid Cymru, y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig a'r Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol yng Nghymru wedi atal eu hymgyrchu etholiadol am y diwrnod fel arwydd o barch. Er ei fod yn fwyaf adnabyddus am fod yn Brif Weinidog Cymru, bu Rhodri Morgan hefyd yn Aelod Seneddol Llafur amlwg iawn yn ystod y 1980 a'r 90au. Yn gyn fyfyriwr o Brifysgolion Harvard a Rhydychen, bu'n was sifil cyn iddo fentro i'r byd gwleidyddol yn broffesiynol. Yn 47, cafodd ei ethol yn AS dros etholaeth Gorllewin Caerdydd yn 1987. Roedd yn ffigwr poblogaidd pan oedd Llafur yn wrthblaid yn San Steffan ac yn dilyn y refferendwm ar ddatganoli, fe heriodd Ysgrifennydd Cymru ar y pryd, Ron Davies, am yr hawl i arwain Llafur yn yr etholiadau. Fe gafodd ei drechu gan y gŵr sy'n cael ei adnabod yn "bensaer datganoli Llafur", ond yn dilyn ymddeoliad cynnar Mr Davies, daeth y cyfle eto i Mr Morgan fynd am yr arweinyddiaeth. Pan ofynnodd y cyflwynydd Jeremy Paxman ar raglen Newsnight y BBC 'nôl yn 1998, os yr oedd yn bwriadu sefyll, atebodd: "Ydy hwyaden ungoes yn nofio mewn cylchoedd?" Cyn Weinidog y Swyddfa Gartref, Alun Michael, gafodd ei ethol yn arweinydd newydd y Blaid Lafur yng Nghymru yn dilyn ymddiswyddiad Ron Davies, ac roedd yn rhaid i Rhodri Morgan aros ei dro unwaith eto. Roedd rhai yn honni mai pleidleisiau bloc yr Undebau a sicrhaodd fuddugoliaeth i Mr Michael ar draul y dewis poblogaidd. Cafodd Mr Morgan ei ethol yn Aelod Cynulliad dros Orllewin Caerdydd ym mis Mai 1999 - yr unig etholaeth yng Nghymru lle cynyddodd Llafur eu pleidlais. Dan arweiniad Alun Michael, methodd Llafur â sicrhau mwyafrif yn etholiadau'r Cynulliad ac o'r diwedd fe gafodd freuddwyd Rhodri Morgan o arwain y blaid ei gwireddu yn 2000. Aeth ati i sefydlu delwedd fwy traddodiadol i'r Blaid Lafur yng Nghymru, drwy osod "dŵr coch clir" rhwng y Blaid yng Nghymru a Llafur Newydd. Cafodd yr agenda hwn ei symboleiddio gan bolisi ei lywodraeth i gynnig presgripsiwn am ddim. Roedd Rhodri Morgan hefyd yn barod i groesawu gwleidyddiaeth glymbleidiol yn y Cynulliad er lles polisïau'r Blaid Lafur. Ffurfiodd lywodraeth gyda'r Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol ar ôl etholiad 2003, a Phlaid Cymru yn 2007. Er yr oedd hi'r "gyfrinach waethaf yng Nghymru" y byddai'n gadael y brif swydd o amgylch ei ben-blwydd yn 70 oed ar 29 Medi 2009, fe gadwodd pawb yn y tywyllwch hyd y funud olaf. Roedd llawer yn disgwyl iddo wneud y datganiad yn ei araith ddiwetha'n Brif Weinidog i gynhadledd y Blaid Lafur yn Brighton ond roedd Mr Morgan yn awyddus i wneud hyn ar dir Cymru. Yn hytrach na hynny, cymerodd y cyfle i ailgasglu'r blaid yn ystod cyfnod a arweiniodd yn y pen draw at golled yn etholiad cyffredinol 2010. Dywedodd - yn ei arddull nodweddiadol: "Rwy'n gwybod ein bod ni mewn cyfnod anodd ar hyn o bryd. Rydyn ni wedi colli'r rysáit o gyfuno pys slwtsh hen Lafur a gwacamole Llafur Newydd dros dro." Serch hynny, fe gymerodd ei sesiwn ddiwethaf yn y Senedd fel Prif Weinidog ar 8 Tachwedd 2010 gan adael y ffordd i'w olynydd Carwyn Jones. Symudodd i'r meinciau cefn a pharhau i gynrychioli pobl Gorllewin Caerdydd tan 2011. Mae'n gadael ei wraig, Aelod Cynulliad Gogledd Caerdydd, Julie Morgan, a'u tri plentyn. Dywedodd Arglwydd Hain, cyn Ysgrifennydd Cymru: "Mae fy nghydymdeimlad gyda Julie a'r teulu, mae hyn yn sioc fawr. "Fel Prif Weinidog, Rhodri oedd tad datganoli ac yn ffigwr tadol i'r genedl. "Fe wnaeth fwy nag unrhyw un i sefydlogi datganoli a sicrhau fod y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yn cael ei dderbyn fel sefydliad. "Roedd e'n Gymro i'r carn." Daeth teyrnged gan Lywydd y Cynulliad, Elin Jones wrth iddi drydar: "Tristwch mawr i glywed am farwolaeth Rhodri Morgan. Prif Weinidog a roddodd ddechrau cadarn i'n Senedd. "Dyn a garodd ei wlad a'i phobl." Roedd yna drydar hefyd gan arweinydd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yn y Cynulliad Andrew RT Davies. "Newyddion ofnadwy am Rhodri Morgan - cawr gwleidyddiaeth ddatganoledig yng Nghymru. Mae ein meddyliau gyda Julie a'r teulu ar yr amser anodd yma." Dywedodd Leanne Wood, arweinydd Plaid Cymru fod Rhodri Morgan yn ddyn "oedd yn cael ei barchu ar draws y sbectrwm gwleidyddol ac fe wnaeth arwain Cymru gyda chlod yn ystod cyfnod hanfodol yn ein hanes". Yr Arglwydd German oedd y dirprwy Brif Weinidog pan fu Llafur mewn clymblaid gyda'r Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol rhwng 2000-2003. "Mae Cymru wedi colli gwleidydd mawr heno. Mae ganddo le enfawr o ran datganoli yng Nghymru. Roedd yn wrthwynebydd cryf ond yn gyfaill mawr." Hylton joined Luton on a two-year deal in May 2016 after rejecting a new contract at Oxford United. The 27-year-old is the Hatters' top scorer this season, with 14 goals in 26 games in all competitions. "This is a big signing for us and it's like a new one really because it secures him for us long-term," manager Nathan Jones told the club website. "We got him in the summer and he's been a revelation, not only on the pitch but off it too with the way he is around the place." Two good rules of life in general and politics in particular are that the frontrunner usually stumbles and the number two never gets the job. But this may be George Osborne's week, and it will be well worth watching how he makes use of what his recent hosts might call "a period of strategic opportunity". Indeed, his trip to China gives us a glimpse, perhaps not of "Osbornism" but of how he sees the world. It suggests a clear-headed but not very exalted vision of Britain's place in the global reordering and a strategic sense of how to deal with this, tactically bold to the point of recklessness. Above all, it confirms that, for Mr Osborne, economics trumps everything else, be that old alliances or any notion of a universalist, ethical foreign policy. He seemed unhindered by the sense of pride that undid diplomats of an earlier age, such as George Macartney who refused to kow-tow before the Chinese emperor. Of course, the chancellor's head did not touch the ground at any point, but there was part of the trip that was just as important a symbol. The chancellor surprised his hosts by asking to visit the country's most fraught region, Xinjiang. This shows a fine understanding of Chinese sensitivities about lectures from outsiders, but left human rights campaigners aghast. Hundreds of people have been killed in recent years, 50 in one incident this time last year. The Chinese call this terrorism, but human rights groups suggest even peaceful dissent is dealt with very harshly. The Uighurs are ethnically distinct from the Han Chinese, predominantly Islamic and speaking a Turkic language. It is difficult to judge, but it seems separatist sentiment is strong - and the very thought of a part of China breaking away strikes at that nation's concept of itself. Those who've been there recently report that many are resentful of Beijing and feel that their distinct heritage, and particularly their religion, is being disrespected. Many seem to feel that massive development is plundering local natural resources without improving the local economy. The Chinese government portrays this separatist sentiment as Islamic extremism and probably genuinely worries that this is a real and growing factor. There's another thing you need to know about the region. It is on the old Silk Road - the connection between East and West. One recent academic tome informs me a more accurate description of this ancient trade route would be "ammonium chloride shifting unmarked paths". But it doesn't quite have the romance and the lure. Now the region is at the heart of the new Silk Road - the Chinese government's hugely ambitious plan for a series of road and rail links connecting the world's most important economy to Central Asia and Europe. As "one belt, one road" (it sounds better in Chinese) grows, the region will continue to rise in importance and wealth and there could be very rich pickings for investors. For Mr Osborne to go there, and be praised by the Chinese media for "pragmatism" in not confronting China over human rights, is hugely significant. This was hardly a meeting of equals. Mr Osborne went to China as a supplicant, come rather late to the table in the hope of a few crumbs. The UK is not among China's top 10 trading partners (Germany is number six), but Mr Osborne wants to raise awareness of the potential on both sides. And reassure his host he wants to make money, not trouble. The chancellor's trip to Xinjiang coincided with a much more important visit - that of President Xi Jinping to the US. While President Barack Obama's "pivot to Asia" continues, the administration is more cautious about China than before - concerned by its maritime ambitions and allegations of cyber-attacks. Mutual suspicion, always high, has grown recently and there is no real meeting of minds. It is no wonder if some in the White House look askance at Mr Osborne's delight at the possibility of the Chinese running our nuclear power stations - something that is likely to be formally announced when President Xi comes to London in October. They were already concerned that the Treasury ignored their pleas, and those of the Foreign Office, not to take part in the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank. For years the guiding principle of British foreign policy has been to stick as close as possible to the US. I don't think George Osborne is about to overturn that completely - but he has challenged it, suggesting that he believes the UK should hitch its wagon to the still-rising economic superpower. His trip was almost brutal in its symbolism - not good news for those who want the UK to be a beacon for human rights. If he does succeed David Cameron, he will have a very short time before he needs to call a general election - so any signs of what sort of a prime minister he would be deserve some divination. Concerns that the public body could be merged with Scottish Enterprise were raised by Labour MSP David Stewart earlier this week. Ms Sturgeon made her comments during First Minister's Questions in Holyrood. Green MSP John Finnie had earlier asked a question on the future of the development agency. The first minister said: "I think Highlands and Islands Enterprise does a fantastic job, and has done a fantastic job over the last 50 years. "I can give the assurance to the member that we will make sure it is in a position to carry on with those functions and provide the excellent services it does to the Highlands of Scotland." HIE provides support and services to businesses in the Highlands, Western Isles, Northern Isles, Moray and Argyll. Earlier this week, Mr Stewart raised his concerns that HIE was to be wound up. Inverness-based economic consultant Tony Mackay had reported the Scottish government was considering merging HIE with Scottish Enterprise. The Scottish government announced in May that it would carry out a review of enterprise and skills support. The review, carried out over the summer, included an "end-to-end review of the roles, responsibilities and relationships" of Scottish Enterprise, HIE, Skills Development Scotland and the Scottish Funding Council. Its findings have yet to be released. Ahead of the move, ministers said they wanted to ensure that the Scottish government and public agencies were "delivering the joined-up support that our young people, universities, colleges and businesses need to increase sustainable economic growth". In November, 12,958 new VWs were registered, down from 16,196 in November 2014, SMMT figures show. Other VW Group marques were also hit, with Seat down 24%, Skoda down 11% and Audi down 4%. Only Bentley managed an increase, with sales up from 73 vehicles to 88. Overall 3.8% more new cars were registered than for November last year. Among the mass-market manufacturers, Citroen saw the biggest fall, with sales down 29%, but the company pointed out this was a result of its DS brand being separated from the main Citroen marque over the course of the last year. Combining Citroen and DS gives a fall in sales of only 3%. Among the big gainers, Vauxhall achieved a 26% rise. A spokesperson for the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said: "Some fluctuation in monthly registration figures for individual brands is normal, with volumes subject to a number of factors including new models and large fleet deals." In September, it emerged that some Volkswagen diesel cars had been fitted with software that could tell when emissions tests were being conducted and alter the way the engine was running to make the cars look more environmentally friendly. Volkswagen sales in October were down 10% from the same month in 2014. In response, Volkswagen UK said the fall might be due to a number of factors and stressed that sales in the year to the end of November were still up 5%. The company said that the market was very sensitive to special offers and that it was hard to call it a trend after two months of falling sales. But Jim Holder from Autocar and What Car? magazines said he believed the sales drop was a direct result of the diesel scandal. "There's a lot of evidence they have lost the trust of the buyers and that is starting to come through," he said. "There is no hiding it any more. They have to take it on the chin and accept that the customers have a lot of choice of very good cars. Figures out on Wednesday showed that the number of new Volkswagen cars registered in Germany only fell 2% in November, with the brand remaining the country's best-seller. But in the US, where the scandal began, VW sales fell 25% last month. Much of that may be attributed to the company stopping selling its diesel models there, which accounted for 21% of its US sales before the crisis. In the UK, sales of diesel cars overall grew 3.6% in the month. Volkswagen's Golf was the fourth best selling car in the UK last month, and in the year to date. It came behind the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Ford Focus. The firm could face penalties of up to 15% of its 2014 revenue in Russia. The case was originally launched by Russian rival Yandex in February and comes as the EU also investigates Google's Android operating system. Google said that it was considering its next move. "We haven't yet received the ruling. When we do, we will study it and determine our next steps," a spokeswoman told the BBC. In Russia, Google is less dominant in search than in other European countries with rival Yandex commanding 60% of the search market. However, the Android operating system is on more than 80% of smartphones sold in the country. Shares in Yandex rose on the news. Russia's Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) said it would be sending its full ruling to Google in the next 10 days requesting that it "terminate abuse of dominant position". Among the original complaints against Google were: Yandex welcomed the ruling. "We believe the FAS decision will serve to restore competition in the market," the company said. In April, EU competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager began formal legal proceedings against Google over accusations that the firm's promotion of its own shopping links amounted to an abuse of its dominance in search. The firm said it "strongly disagreed" with the allegations. Ms Vestager also revealed that she had launched an investigation into whether the way Google bundled apps and services for its Android operating system was unfair. It is the culmination of a five-year investigation into the company. It could ultimately lead to fines of billions of euros. Francis Whittaker, 35, took the bus from outside the city's Philharmonic Hall, where Bailey performed in October as part of a tour. Liverpool Crown Court heard the vehicle contained merchandise worth £2,400 and the comedian's personal belongings. Whittaker was jailed for two years after pleading guilty to burglary and two charges of vehicle theft. CCTV footage showed two men entering the theatre through a fire door, before Whittaker was seen leaving and driving off in the van, the court heard. An Apple laptop was also taken from inside the building. The Mercedes Sprinter bus was found three days after the theft in a Liverpool suburb with false number plates attached, the court heard. Whittaker, of The Lynxway, West Derby, was arrested a week later. He also admitted taking a Vauxhall van containing tools worth £12,000 from outside the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool during an earlier theft in August. The court heard Whittaker had 42 previous convictions for 84 offences. Charlotte Pringle, mitigating, said his offending was linked to drug and alcohol issues, which he had tried but failed to address. The attorney general is facing moves to hold him in contempt of Congress over the issue. Justice officials said the privilege applied to files on how they learned of problems with Fast and Furious. The operation saw US agents lose track of hundreds of illegal guns allowed into Mexico to trace arms dealers. A US border agent was killed with a weapon linked to the operation in December 2010. This is the first use of executive privilege for withholding documents by Mr Obama. Former Presidents George W Bush and Bill Clinton used the privilege six and 14 times respectively during their eight-year terms. The Department of Justice says it has denied access to the files because they contain information that could affect ongoing criminal investigations. Its officials say they have already sent more than 7,000 documents to the Republican-led House Oversight Committee. "I write now to inform you that the president has asserted executive privilege over the relevant... documents," Deputy Attorney General James Cole wrote to the lawmakers. Wednesday's contempt vote looms a day after a meeting between Attorney General Eric Holder and committee chairman, Representative Darrell Issa, failed to end the impasse. Mr Holder said lawmakers had turned down his offer to give them the documents, along with a briefing on the operation, in exchange for assurances that the panel would drop contempt proceedings. "They rejected what I thought was an extraordinary offer on our part," he told reporters on Tuesday. But Republican Senator Charles Grassley, who is not on the committee but attended the meeting, cast doubt on Mr Holder's version. "The attorney general wants to trade a briefing and the promise of delivering some small, unspecified set of documents tomorrow for a free pass today," he told reporters. On Wednesday, the office of Republican House Speaker John Boehner said use of executive privilege raised questions about the White House's involvement with the gun probe. "The White House decision to invoke executive privilege implies that White House officials were either involved in the 'Fast and Furious' operation or the cover-up that followed," Brendan Buck, a spokesman for Mr Boehner, told reporters. The committee's top Democrat, Representative Elijah Cummings, accused Mr Issa of having "no interest" in resolving the dispute. "You've been holding the attorney general to an impossible standard," he told CNN. "You accused him of a cover-up for protecting documents that he is prohibited from providing." It is not clear what will happen if Mr Holder is held in contempt of Congress. Historically, Congress and the White House have negotiated agreements to avoid a court battle that would limit either Congress' subpoena power or executive privilege itself. The hosts had earlier lasted 31 balls to add a further 21 to their overnight score as they were bowled out for 332 - and a first-innings lead of 90. After making it to lunch without losing a wicket, Notts then collapsed. Wagner took 5-45 and Anderson 3-29 as the visitors were bowled out for 175. In their first game since winning promotion back to the top flight, that will leave Lancashire chasing 86 to win on the final day. New Zealander Wagner took the headlines but, from an England perspective, Anderson's efforts were perhaps more important. While strike partner Kyle Jarvis's analysis read 7-5-4-0 at lunch, Anderson conceded just nine runs from six overs and his second spell was even more impressive. Having bowled well without luck in 16 wicketless overs in the first innings, he this time began the rot when he bowled former Lancashire team-mate Steven Mullaney with a ball that kept low, bowling unchanged for 11 successive overs after lunch from the Pavilion End. Having gone past the outside edge on numerous occasions, he did get further reward later, trapping Riki Wessels leg before as well as getting last man Harry Gurney caught behind. But, in between, Wagner was again doing the main damage, claiming another 'fiver-fer' to follow up his first innings 6-66 for a memorable debut. Earlier, Lancashire's other impressive debutant Liam Livingstone had added just seven to his overnight score before he was out lbw for 70 to give Jake Ball a fourth wicket, while Jarvis was caught at slip for 37. Lancs & England fast bowler James Anderson told BBC Manchester: "Neil Wagner was fantastic again. To take 11-for on his debut is something pretty special. He should be really proud of that. It couldn't have gone any better for him. "He is a fantastic guy, he loves playing, he wants to do well for the team and has so much energy on the field. He never turns down the opportunity to have a bowl. "He may lose a few inches in height if he keeps bowling on these wickets, but he has a fantastic attitude and is someone we are lucky to have in our dressing room. "The pitch is as good as a Test pitch. There hasn't been a huge amount there for the seam bowlers. We knew we had to work hard for our wickets but stuck at it and got the rewards." Notts director of cricket Mick Newell told BBC Radio Nottingham: "When we went out to bat, we knew we had to make about 300 to be competitive but we're a long way short of that and we need a minor miracle on the last day. "We need something like a Stuart Broad 8-15 now. You feel in these situations you need to set a minimum of 130, 140, 150 but we've failed to do that. "Throughout the game the top six have under-scored. We're disappointed with that because we had first use of the pitch and we wanted to bat first. "Fair play to Neil Wagner. He's had a terrific game, he's run in hard and bowled bouncers and yorkers and mixed it up and been very effective." Andrew Wilkinson, chair of governors at Newport, and Prof Julie Lydon, vice-chancellor of Glamorgan, will fill those posts at the new body in 2013. The name of the new university is expected to be revealed in December. Plans were abandoned earlier this month to force a three-way merger with Cardiff Metropolitan University, which opposed the idea. The announcement from Glamorgan and Newport follows a due diligence exercise to ensure there were no legal or financial barriers to their merger. It comes after a drive led by the Welsh government to rearrange higher education in Wales to create a smaller number of larger universities. Officials claim the new institution will rival Cardiff University in terms of size and provide the scale to produce additional benefits for students, staff and the local economy whilst also developing a global profile. Prof Lydon said: "Our two universities have set in train a plan to create a new and exciting institution for south Wales. "While both institutions have strong histories in the communities of south Wales, together we will be stronger than the sum of our parts and have an opportunity to enhance significantly the educational and training landscape of south-east Wales for the benefit of its people, communities and businesses." Independent research on suitable names for the new university is said to be almost complete, with an announcement due in December. Education Minister Leighton Andrews announced earlier this month that he was dropping consultation on a three-way union, including Cardiff Met, in order to allow Glamorgan and Newport to press ahead with their merger. But he stressed at the time it was still his desire to see a single "super-university" for south-east Wales combining all the region's post-1992 universities. The 29-year-old, who is currently in Rio hosting coverage of the Olympic Games, said he was "a huge fan" of the show and "cannot wait to get started". "I'm still waiting for someone to wake me up and tell me I'm dreaming! It's going to be so much fun," he added. Oduba is the fourth star announced for the show, which begins in September. He joins former shadow chancellor Ed Balls, singer Will Young and presenter Laura Whitmore, who were confirmed earlier this week. Oduba, who also appears on BBC Breakfast, said: "I've been such a huge fan of the show for over a decade. So to actually take to the Strictly stage myself, I don't think I've been more nervously excited - aside from on my wedding day. Let's hope for fewer tears!"

The 16-year-old left-back has agreed a two-year scholarship and made his under-18s debut in a recent 1-0 victory against Gillingham. "When I was under-13, I was number three in the country for 800m and used to do well in cross-country as well. "It was always football that excited more, though," Younis Farah told The Echo newspaper. Shrimpers academy manager Ricky Duncan added: "Younis is a good young prospect and you can certainly see that athletics runs in the family when you see him up and down the wing. "He came to an open trial five months ago and he's really come a long way since then, so we've offered him a two-year scholarship to stay in the academy here at Southend." Brett Rogers, 23, from Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, denies murdering Gillian Phillips, 54, and David Oakes, 60, at her home in the village. He told Chelmsford Crown Court the pair were attacked while he was at the supermarket for five minutes last July. He was handcuffed to an officer on the stand after attacking guards last week. During a court session on 5 May, Mr Rogers punched and struggled with dock guards while a forensic scientist was giving evidence. Read more on this story and other news in Essex Giving evidence, he told the jury he was stabbed in the hand in an alley near his mother's house by a mystery man as he walked back from the shop. Afterwards, he said, he went into the house "where I found my mum dead and David Oakes dead". He said: "I got into a panic, moved the knives and called police. I just started to get worried." Mr Rogers told the court he put his clothes and the trainers in the bin along with the knives "because they were covered in blood" before calling police. Under cross-examination by prosecutor Simon Spence QC, Mr Rogers admitted he was capable of extreme violence "for no reason at all". He said an assault on his father that resulted in a prison sentence was in self-defence, and he had pleaded guilty when the case came to court. When questioned about the mystery man who he claimed killed Mrs Phillips and Mr Oakes, he said the man was a "complete stranger". Mr Spence pointed out Mr Rogers had not spoken about the mystery man's involvement until 4 April this year in a defence document. The trial continues.

Brown, who can play as full-back or winger, has made 104 appearances since his professional debut in 2010. "I believe this squad has the potential to achieve a lot and that's something I want to be a part of in the coming years," said the 26-year-old. "There's a strong team culture and we are all determined to continue taking the club in the right direction." Brown became the 25th player to represent Edinburgh 100 times when he led the team out to face Glasgow Warriors in the recent 1872 Cup match. He has one Scotland cap which came in the 9-6 victory in Australia in 2012. Acting Edinburgh head coach Duncan Hodge said: "Tom's attitude, commitment and professionalism serve as a great example to those around him and we're delighted to have him around for another two years."

Edinburgh back Tom Brown has signed a two-year deal that will keep him at his hometown club until May 2019.
