They have now won just one of their past six Premier League games. Mourinho said: "I have nothing to say against my players, but I feel sorry for them because we feel like a defeat and Arsenal is feeling like a victory." He added: "If we just focus on [draws against] Burnley, Stoke and Arsenal - nine points easily. If we had those six points more we are top four and close to the top of the league." "We all know inside that in this moment we are the unlucky team in the Premier League." United remain sixth in the league table, five points behind fourth-placed Arsenal who are two points behind leaders Liverpool. The draw means Mourinho remains unbeaten against Arsene Wenger in 12 meetings in the Premier League. However, he has now faced Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal in the league this season and not recorded a win. When leaving his post-match news conference, Mourinho added: "Finally I lost against Arsenal. That is the feeling I take home. Finally I lost against Arsenal." Giroud's late goal, the visitors' first effort on target, saw Arsenal extend their unbeaten run to 17 games in all competitions, following an opening-day Premier League defeat by leaders Liverpool. "I felt overall we had a serious defensive performance, offensively we have played better," said Gunners manager Wenger. Media playback is not supported on this device "We had not our usual style to go forward. We were not sharp or fluent enough. Manchester United blocked us well as well, they were very organised. "In the second half we came out in the first 20 minutes and we didn't play. Deservedly Manchester United led 1-0, but they dropped off and gave us the ball again. We were resilient and in the end I think we scored a great goal."

Manchester United are the unluckiest team in the Premier League, says manager Jose Mourinho.

A three-mile (4.8km) stretch of the A591 between Dunmail Raise, north of Grasmere and Thirlmere, was closed after the December storm. It is expected to reopen in May. Liberal Democrat leader and MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale Tim Farron, said the local economy was losing up to £1m each day the route remained closed. Highways England said "good progress" was being maintained despite "difficult working conditions and unpredictable weather". A 106m (347ft) retaining wall is being constructed alongside the road, after steel supporting posts were installed last month. The agency said stonemasons were putting local stone reclaimed from the flood debris along the wall to cover the concrete, to ensure it blends in with the surroundings. The wall will provide greater protection to the road from the effects of erosion, the agency said. In an interview with Irish radio station KFM, Mr Kenny described the allegations made last week on BBC Spotlight as incredible. Nama is the Irish state agency set up take control of bad loans north and south that were damaging the banks. In 2014, it sold its portfolio in Northern Ireland for millions. Mr Kenny's comments come as speculation grows that the Republic's government could announce an inquiry into the controversial deal. The Republic of Ireland's spending watchdog, the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), is set to publish a report this week that reportedly concludes that the deal had "irregularities" and "shortcomings". Last week, BBC Spotlight broadcast a recording in which Frank Cushnahan, a former member of Nama's Northern Ireland advisory committee, accepted a £40,000 cash payment from a Nama client. The payment was made by County Down property developer John Miskelly during a meeting in a hospital car park. Mr Cushanhan was still working as an adviser to Nama at the time. He has denied any wrongdoing. Mr Miskelly has said "payments made by me to any persons have been lawful". Mr Kenny told KFM that he had watched the BBC Spotlight programme. "Nothing surprises me at the kind of activities that take place in politics," he said. "In that sense, I find it extraordinary to hear the audio reports of engagements and meetings between certain personnel," he added. "If I find, or our colleagues in government find, that this is a case that has to be examined - then I won't be opposed to that. "If there are questions arising from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) engagement with Nama, and they are due before them shortly, I'm not averse to taking action, but I need to know what it is I'm taking action on." Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has joined calls from opposition politicians for an inquiry. After coming out of a near three-year, deep-space hibernation in January, the satellite now has sufficient power to check out its science payload. The spacecraft is currently about 675 million km from Earth, and continues to close in on its comet quarry. Rosetta should arrive at the icy body in early August, when it will then start mapping the object to find a safe spot to put down its little lander. This craft, known as Philae, is piggy-backing the main probe, and was set to receive its wake-up commands on Friday. It will be another week, however, before they are actioned. Dr Matt Taylor, the European Space Agency's Rosetta project scientist, told BBC News: "The mission as a whole had this big emotional moment in January when the spacecraft was woken up. "Now, individual teams must experience something similar again as each one of Rosetta's 11 instruments is turned on for testing." The first item to be brought back online was the camera system: Osiris. This is the equipment that will most engage the public as it acquires the pictures of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The second instrument listed for switch-on was Alice, a spectrometer that will be used to study the gases streaming away from the 4km-wide ball of ice and dust. It will take the rest of March and all of April for controllers at Esa's operations centre in Darmstadt, Germany, to work through the entire instrument package. Although the tight constraints on power consumption have eased somewhat since the January wake-up, Rosetta is still roughly 640 million km from the Sun. This means the careful approach to energy management continues. "The fantastic news after hibernation is that the solar arrays haven't degraded, so we are in an optimal state for power," explained Sylvain Lodiot, Rosetta's deputy spacecraft operations manager. "But the situation is still marginal and we cannot yet run the instruments in parallel." Most of the instruments will be switched off again immediately after their check-out. The key exception is Osiris. It will stay on because it is needed to help plot the precise position of 67P on the sky. This leads to the next big event in the mission - the major manoeuvre that will start to refine Rosetta's trajectory to the comet. This will be initiated on 21 May with a seven-hour, 21-minute burn on the spacecraft's thrusters. A further eight burns are then planned over the summer, with Rosetta set to go into orbit around 67P in the first week of August. Dr Taylor has been preparing himself this week for the rendezvous with a visit to a tattoo studio. He now has Rosetta, Philae and 67P pictured on his thigh. "When I arrived on the project, I promised I'd do it. I'd had one done for Esa's Cluster mission, and when Rosetta came out of hibernation, I said, 'right, let's get it done now'. "The place where I go is run by an old friend from school. He's done all my tattoos." Rosetta is being billed as the big space event of 2014. The plan is for the probe to escort 67P as it moves closer towards the Sun, monitoring the changes that take place on the body. The Philae lander will report changes that occur at the surface. Comets - giant "dirty snowballs", as some have called them - are believed to contain materials that have remained largely unchanged since the formation of the Solar System. Rosetta's data should give researchers some fresh insights, therefore, on how our local space environment has changed during the past 4.6bn years. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos James Smith, a Scotsman also known as Jimmy Smith, was last seen at George Tavern Pub in Tower Hamlets, London, in November 2015. Scotland Yard want to talk to him in connection with allegations of rape and assault between 1981 and 1987. The two victims were aged under 18 at the time, police said. The allegations were first reported to police in 2013, but officers have been unable to locate Mr Smith. The former Glasgow bus driver, originally from the Scottish Highlands, had a brother called Joe or Joseph. He moved to London in 1980 and lived in Poplar, east London. Mr Smith had light ginger hair at the time and would now be aged between 65 and 75. Hannah Stewart, of the Met Police's sexual offences unit, said: "Inquiries to trace James Smith in connection with this investigation have so far been unsuccessful and by launching this appeal we hope that someone will be able to provide us with vital information that will lead us to him." This will allow adults to decide whether or not they want Scotland to be a part of the UK. A referendum is when adult voters are asked to a vote on one political question - e.g. Should the UK remain a member of the EU or leave the EU? She has said that she wants this referendum to happen between Autumn 2018 and Spring 2019. Scotland has had a referendum about this issue before, in September 2014. So why is Nicola Sturgeon saying that she wants another one? Read below to find out more about what has happened. The UK is made up of four countries - Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. Two and a half years ago, adults in Scotland were asked to choose whether or not they wanted Scotland to remain a part of the UK. They were asked 'Should Scotland be an independent country?' and voters chose yes or no. Just over half (55.3%) voted no, so Scotland remains part of the UK. You might remember that last year, there was a different referendum for the whole of the UK. The result of this referendum was that UK adults voted to leave a group of countries called the European Union (EU). When all of the UK's votes were added together, more adults voted to leave the EU than to stay in it. However, if Scotland's votes were counted on their own, more adults in Scotland wanted to stay in the EU than wanted to leave it. In fact, just over 3 in 5 Scottish adults wanted the UK to stay part of the EU. Given that it is expected the UK - including Scotland - will soon be on its way out of the EU, Ms Sturgeon says that Scottish people should get to decide again whether they want to be a part of the UK or become an independent country - and, importantly, get to make its own decisions about this sort of thing. Not all politicians in Scotland agree that another referendum should take place though. indyref2is the nickname given to the possibility of another Scottish referendum - it is a shortened version of independence referendum 2 The official two-year process for the UK to leave the EU is expected to begin soon. So Ms Sturgeon wants another referendum to be held between Autumn 2018 and Spring 2019. This is because it is thought it will be more clear by then how Brexit will work - and, importantly, how it might affect Scotland. Ms Sturgeon thinks Scottish people will have more information to help them make that decision by then. Ms Sturgeon does not have the power to make another referendum happen by herself. She needs to get a special type of agreement from UK Prime Minister Theresa May to allow her to have one. It has not been confirmed whether or not the UK government will give this to her. It has said that a second referendum would be "divisive" and would "cause huge economic uncertainty at the worst possible time", but it has not said that it would refuse permission for it to happen. First, though, Ms Sturgeon needs to get the support of the Scottish parliament. She has said: "I will take the steps necessary now to make sure that Scotland will have a choice at the end of this [Brexit] process." Even if the UK government agrees that another referendum can take place, it is not clear when it will be or how it will be carried out, as that would need to be decided too. A situation like Brexit has not happened before, so we do not know what will happen or how it would work. It is not as simple as Scotland being able to keep the UK's membership, while the rest of the UK leaves. What would happen between Scotland and the EU, if the country were able to vote to become independent before the Brexit process has been finished, remains to be seen. The creator of the Discworld series died on 12 March following a public struggle with Alzheimer's disease. The sign on Uncle Tom's Cabin, in Wincanton, was created by Discworld Emporium illustrator Richard Kingston. Landlord Antony Yateman, who commissioned the sign before the author's death, said: "I was hoping that Sir Terry would unveil it." Wincanton was "twinned" with the fictional Discworld city of Ankh-Morpork in 2002. The sign references Ankh-Morpork's most famous watering hole, the Mended Drum. "Both men were regulars. They used to come here after creative meetings at the Discworld Emporium a few doors down the street," said Mr Yateman. "I commissioned the new sign, and was hoping that Sir Terry would unveil it himself. Sadly he died, but the sign is now up and serves as a memorial to a great author and character." Oxfordshire County Council is set to spend £100,000 looking into a workplace parking levy. Leader Ian Hudspeth said money raised by a levy would be used to improve Oxford's transport network. Rob Lindley, managing director of Harley Davidson in Europe, based in Cowley, described it as a tax on businesses. According to a report by Bev Hindle, acting director for environment and economy, the levy would "discourage car commuting" and "provide additional revenue for transport improvements to manage growth pressures". The only other city in the UK to bring in similar charges is Nottingham where millions of pounds worth of charges are collected each year. The scheme, which sees businesses with 11 or more spaces charged £375 per car, was introduced in 2012. Mr Hudspeth said: "Go and visit Nottingham and you'll see that business really benefits, there's less congestion in the centre of the city, and people can get in and out easier." But Mr Lindley said: "It can be wrapped up anyway people like, the environment or congestion, but in the end it's just a tax on our business operations. "Business rates and the cost of commercial premises in Oxford are already high. If the council was to impose such a tax Oxford becomes less competitive. "With the UK going through Brexit and an increasing climate of uncertainty, we need to give employers, and especially employers of international businesses, encouragements to operate here, not disincentives." Nigel Tipple, chief executive of the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership, said: "I think it's important we look at the overall impact on business, and how we can work with the council to look at managing transport and movement across the city." The council's cabinet meets on 22 November and is expected to release funds to develop the business case in time for October 2017. The 22-year-old Commonwealth Games silver medallist lost 21-15, 21-9 to third seed Sindhu. "Of course I'm disappointed with the result in the final," said Gilmour. "The shuttle felt so sensitive today. "I tried everything in my power to get it under control and find some rhythm. I managed it in some rallies but not consistently enough." Gilmour is Britain's top ranked women's singles player and won the Dutch Grand Prix in October. The Rail Maritime and Transport (RMT) Union said all it would take is for one passenger to buy into the "company lies" for a major incident to occur. Last week, Southern said one-in-six conductors had gone sick in a month, following strike action in April. It has not responded to the RMT's claim, re-stating the problem was causing disruption to services. The rail operator claimed the rate of absence had more than doubled since the first strike over the role of guards on 26 April. It said an average of 83 Southern services were being cancelled each day because of sickness problems. In a letter to Southern Mick Cash, general secretary of the RMT, said: "I am appalled at the totally inflammatory way you are treating your staff", saying workers had complained of bullying and harassment. This "grossly irresponsible attitude amounts to incitement and leaves lone-workers and women particularly vulnerable", he added. He said problems with the service were down to "staff shortages created by a failure to recruit enough workers to fill new rosters." "Luckily, the vast majority of passengers don't believe a word that this company says," continued Mr Cash. "They know full well what this failing franchise is all about." Last week, Southern said that in the two weeks prior to the first strike, conductor sickness absence ran at an average of 23 conductors off sick each day. It said that since the strike, the number had nearly doubled to 40 conductors off sick each day. "Passengers deserve to know the reasons behind the unusually high level of train cancellations they are presently experiencing," it said. "We are experiencing much higher than usual levels of conductor absence through sickness... This has meant that over the last month, regrettably, we have had to cancel some of our services." In his letter, Mr Cash urged Southern to stop the attacks and engage with the union to resolve the dispute. A Scottish Chambers of Commerce (SCC) survey suggested construction was slowing in the three months to 30 June. Tourism's performance was found to be "markedly" worse than a year ago. There was also little sign of improvement in manufacturing, retail and financial and business services. SCC said it remained to be seen how the Brexit vote had impacted on this already "muted" economic performance. It called for the UK and Scottish governments to take measures to head off a further slowdown. The SCC report said: "Over the second quarter of 2016, business performance across the Scottish economy was more consistent than in the first quarter of the year, though both performance and optimism were generally lower than during the same period of 2015." Neil Amner, chairman of the SCC economic advisory group, said: "The burning questions are how the vote for the UK to leave the European Union will affect businesses and what steps our governments in the UK and in Scotland should take to ensure that Scotland's businesses continue to be the dynamo of economic growth. "The Brexit vote does not come without its opportunities but business must be in the driving seat if we are to take advantage of these and, indeed, secure the stability that is needed to foster investment and deliver future growth. "Central to future planning is the need for clarity on the future of talented individuals currently working in Scotland. "Everyone must have the confidence that they will be able to fulfil their long-term ambitions in Scotland, whether they currently live here or not. "Scotland must become an even more attractive place to do business and must actively reach out to the world to create new trading and investment opportunities." Mr Amner called on government "to reconsider policies which have sought to impose greater burdens on business" and use their "levers of power" to boost growth, with measures such as a cut in business rates, an accelerated reduction in Air Passenger Duty and shelving the Apprenticeship Levy. About 50 Filipinos, mostly students, reached Pagasa in the Spratly archipelago on Saturday, saying they planned to stay for three days. They say they want to highlight growing Chinese encroachment in a Philippine exclusive economic zone. China claims almost all the South China Sea, believed to be rich in resources, dismissing rival claims by neighbours. Apart from the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam all lay claim to the disputed waters. The group is expected to leave the island on Monday. Flying close to China's new islands Tension has intensified over the last year, fuelled by China's aggressive island-building and naval patrols and the area has also seen the US and Australia undertaking freedom of navigation operations. A recent BBC investigation witnessed at close quarters China's construction of new islands on coral reefs in the area and was repeatedly warned off by Chinese authorities while on a civilian flight in the vicinity of the islands. The Filipino group, led by a former naval commander and called Kalayaan Atin Ito (Kalayaan This Is Ours) described the journey as a "patriotic" voyage and a symbolic act of defiance against China. The Philippine government said it understood the group's intentions but opposed the voyage on safety and security grounds - the protesters sailed 500km (310 miles) through contested seas to the tiny island. The Philippines has a case challenging Beijing before the arbitration court in The Hague. It says the "nine-dash line", which China uses to demarcate its territorial claims, is unlawful under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, which both countries have signed. China has boycotted the proceedings, insisting that the panel has no authority to rule in the case. Mr Ban made his remarks in an address at the UN Habitat III conference that is only held once every 20 years. Many urban areas, which are home to more than half of the world population, continue to grow unplanned and unregulated, experts warn. An estimated 35,000 people attended the three-day gathering in Quito, Ecuador. "Mayors are at the forefront of the battle for sustainability," Mr Ban told an audience at the world assembly of mayors, which was being held at the Habitat III conference. "You are faced with the immediate daily demands of your people; for housing, transport, infrastructure and sustainable urban development." But, he added, they also had to "make the tough decisions on what issues to prioritise" because they had to operate within tight budgets. Mr Ban told the city leaders and politicians that they were at the heart of delivering global agreements, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. "Take strong ownership of this vital agenda - stand up for the people you represent," he urged them. The conference, which the UN described as one of the largest in the organisation's history, was focused on adopting a blueprint that would help shape and deliver urban development over the next 20 years. The New Urban Agenda recognised that urbanisation had to be seen as a tool for development in the 21st Century, explained Joan Clos, UN Habitat's executive director and the conference's secretary general. He said that recent events, such as the global financial crisis and the urban revolts during the Arab Spring, had highlighted the importance of sustainable urban development. "It's a proposal to revisit urbanisation," Dr Clos observed, "and avoid the mistakes that have been developing in the past 20 years. "When we look at the statistics, (where) the level of planned organisation has decreased, the quality of the planning has also decreased. "That has created a very deadly situation where a lot of people are suffering in many cities for a lack of urban design, a lack of adequate management and a lack of urban finances. We need to recover that," he said. He said there was a need to go "back to basics" and called on delegates not to see the document as a new agenda but to see it as a blueprint for the "forgotten agenda". Habitat III is formally known as the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development. It is the third in a series of global gatherings that are held once every 20 years. The first was staged in Vancouver, Canada in 1976, and the second was hosted by Istanbul, Turkey, in 1996. During that time, the world's human population has shifted from being a rural population to being an urban one, with an estimated 54% of people now living in urban areas. Projections forecast that percentage is set to reach 66% by the middle of this century. In 1950, less than one-in-three people lived in urban areas. The world had just two so-called "megacities" with populations in excess of 10 million: New York and Tokyo. Today, there are more than 20. Greater Tokyo, the world's biggest urban area, has expanded from 13 million residents in 1950, to today's figure of 38 million. It is estimated that almost 200,000 people each day are moving to urban areas. Developing nations are shouldering the vast majority of this burden, leaving them struggling to cope with the huge influx of people. Some cities' populations are 40 times larger than what they were in 1950. This has resulted in the rapid expansion of unplanned and unregulated "slums" on the edge of cities. Organisers of the Habitat III conference observed: "It is now well understood that slums and the related informal settlements are a spontaneous form of urbanisation, consisting of a series of survival strategies by the urban poor, most borne out of poverty and exclusion." The adoption of the New Urban Agenda by delegates from 167 nations on Thursday is an attempt to reverse the "legacy of the 20th Century": uncontrolled urbanisation and urban poverty. Danske Bank publishes research quarterly, based on a survey of 1,020 people. It found consumer confidence "rose sharply" in the first quarter of 2017 to its highest level in two years. Bank economist Conor Lambe said consumers believe the short-term impact of the referendum "is not going to be as severe as first thought". According to the survey, household expectations of their financial positions for the year ahead have improved. Mr Lambe said that was "surprising given that rising inflation will have an adverse impact on real wage growth as we move through this year". Inflation is running at 2.3%. The depreciation of the pound since last June's EU referendum has also that meant some imported goods are more expensive. "Prices are rising but consumers in Northern Ireland are still planning to spend over the next 12 months," said Mr Lambe. But he added that the bank expected a slowdown in spending, with a squeeze already appearing to be underway across the whole of the UK. Mohammed Haji Sadiq taught for 30 years at the Madina mosque in Cardiff. Sadiq, from Cyncoed, was found guilty of 14 child sex offences but cleared of one count of indecent assault at Cardiff Crown Court. He had denied the charges involving four girls aged between five and 11 and blamed "politics" in the mosque for the accusations. The offences took place between 1996 and 2006 at the Woodville Road mosque. The court heard Sadiq "took advantage of his position" and touched the four girls inappropriately as a form of punishment, abusing the girls if they made a mistake while reciting the Koran. Some of his victims said they were afraid to attend the mosque because of his abuse. Jurors were also told Sadiq would use a stick as a form of punishment in class and hit people over the hand or hard on the back. One victim said he would threaten young pupils. His Honour Judge Stephen Hopkins QC said Sadiq was found guilty "on the most compelling evidence". He said the case clearly passed the custody threshold and that Sadiq would be monitored electronically. Sadiq, who has had no involvement in the mosque since 2006 when it burnt down, was released on bail and will be sentenced at a later date. The small study of 20 people found using water at 15C (59F) left hands as clean as water heated to 38C (100F) . The report, in the Journal of Food Protection, suggests this could help cut electricity bills in restaurants. NHS advice recommends that people wash their hands in either cold or warm water. In this study, scientists at Rutgers University-New Brunswick wanted to find out if popular assumptions about the benefits of warm or hot water and official guidance on hot water - given to the food industry in the US - held true. They asked 20 people to wash their hands 20 times each with water that was 15C (59F), 26C (79F) or 38 degrees (100F). Volunteers were also asked to experiment with varying amounts of soap. Before they started the tests, their hands were covered in harmless bugs. Researchers say there was no difference in the amount of bugs removed as the temperature of the water or the amount of soap changed. Prof Donald Schaffner said: "People need to feel comfortable when they are washing their hands but as far as effectiveness [goes], this study shows us that the temperature of the water used did not matter." However, the researchers accept their study is small and say more extensive work is needed to determine the best ways to remove harmful bacteria. In the UK, NHS experts say people can use cold or hot water to wash their hands. They say hands should be washed for at least 20 seconds and stress the importance of using enough soap to cover the whole surface of the hands. Their guidance focuses on rubbing hands together in various ways to make sure each surface of each hand is clean. Source: NHS Choices, Global Hygiene Council, World Health Organization Lord Hardie will chair the hearing in the capital on 19 August. Earlier he made a call for people and organisations who wish to be designated as core participants during the inquiry to come forward. Participants will have played a significant role in the trams project, have an interest in the inquiry or who may be criticised in the inquiry. It was announced last year the public inquiry had been awarded statutory powers to allow the senior judge to compel witnesses to participate. The Scottish government took action after some of those involved in the project refused "point-blank" to co-operate, Lord Hardie said. The core participants will be able to appoint legal representatives and may attend for all or large parts of the proceedings. Lord Hardie said: "At a brief, formal preliminary hearing on 19 August, I will announce the details of those persons and organisations who have been designated as core participants. "These individuals and organisations will have a key role during the inquiry and participate actively in the proceedings by making statements or asking questions, under my guidance. "The main purpose of the preliminary hearing is to ensure that all procedural matters are agreed before the start of the inquiry hearings, the dates for which I will announce at an appropriate future juncture and in line with the published order of events." The trams began operating at the end of May last year after six years of disruption and a long-running dispute between Edinburgh city council and contractors. The eventual cost of £776m was more than double the sum earmarked for the project by the previous Labour-led administration. Meanwhile, the Edinburgh Trams bike trial has been extended following a successful test period in May when about 10 bikes a day were brought on board. York Place proved to be the most popular boarding point, with almost one third of recorded journeys starting there. Itoje, 21, has had a sensational 2016 so far, winning the double with club Saracens as well as a Grand Slam and a whitewash of Australia with England. Despite the "special" season, he admits "many aspects" of his own game can be developed further. "I don't know many players who peak at 21," he told BBC Sport. "I want to get stronger, faster, and fitter. I want to try and be as complete a player as possible." As well as winning silverware with both club and country last season, Itoje only lost one match - against Harlequins in January - and astonishingly has not lost a game he has started since May 2015. "Last season was pretty special and I was fortunate enough to do it with some pretty good people as well, which made it even more enjoyable," he said. "Last year is one that will go in the memory bank, but now that it's over it's quite interesting how quickly your mind shifts towards the next goals you want to achieve. "Now it's done, we are looking forward." With nine victories out of nine so far this calendar year, England can go unbeaten in 2016 if they avoid defeat in the autumn series. And next summer, there is the prospect of a British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand to look forward to. Although widely tipped to feature on the Lions tour, Itoje is trying to follow the advice of England captain Dylan Hartley and not to get carried away. "I'm not really looking that far ahead - it's important to focus on the here and now," Itoje said. "I want to get in the best possible shape I can in pre-season and start the season well, to a higher quality than last season." Away from rugby, Itoje has one more year left of a politics degree at the School of Oriental and African and Studies. In May, not only was he helping Saracens to European and domestic success, he was was also juggling end-of-semester exams. "I did all right, I passed my exams, and I'm on a 2:1 at the moment," he said. "Hopefully I can push on a little bit more, get a little bit better there, but it's going OK so far." And Itoje says balancing rugby with his ongoing studies will remain a priority in the coming months as Sarries start their Premiership defence at home to Worcester on Saturday, 3 September. "I will try and keep both pathways going upwards, and we'll see what happens," he said. "Rugby is an important part of my life, but so are my academic endeavours." The 28-year-old joined the club from Wakefield in 2012 after two previous loan spells. Dean, who began his career at St Helens, scored eight tries in his 27 appearances last term as Widnes reached the play-offs for the first time. "Retaining a player like Chris is fantastic for the club," head coach Denis Betts told the club website. "Chris is the type of player that all great clubs are built on. To secure a player of his quality will only add to the strength of the team." The drinks giant said that under the new Diverted Profits Tax regime, HMRC will ask for more tax and interest for the past two financial years. Diageo said it would challenge the HMRC's assessment. However, the company said it will have to pay £107m then work with HMRC to resolve the issue. Diageo, which owns brands including Johnnie Walker whisky and Tanqueray gin, said: "The payment of this sum is not a reflection of Diageo's view on the merits of the case and, based on its current assessment, Diageo considers no provision is required in relation to Diverted Profits Tax." The company does not expect the situation to have an effect on its tax for the current financial year to June, and expects the rate to be 21%. The dispute centres on profits that have been moved between the UK and the Netherlands. The Diverted Profits Tax regime was introduced in 2015 and levies a 25% charge on taxable profits that have been diverted from the UK. The company said: "Diageo does not believe that it falls within the scope of the new Diverted Profits Tax regime." Shares in Diageo fell 1% to £22.68 on Wednesday but have risen more than a fifth this year. The photograph, taken in May, shows Charles and Camilla in the morning room of their London home, Clarence House. Photographer Mario Testino described the duchess as a "beautiful person". The duchess celebrated her birthday over the weekend with a private party at the couple's family home, Highgrove House, in Gloucestershire. Testino, known for his glamorous shots of the rich and famous, first captured Charles and Camilla in 2006 for their first wedding anniversary, on an assignment for Vogue. The Peruvian photographer said that when he first met Camilla, more than a decade ago, he "discovered a kind and beautiful person with a wonderful sense of humour". He added: "I'm honoured to document their royal highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall on this very important date." Testino is something of a family favourite. He took Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's official engagement photos in 2010, and has also taken official photographs of both Prince George and Princess Charlotte. A series of relaxed portraits of the late Diana, Princess of Wales - taken just months before she died in 1997 - became some of his best-known portraits. Twice elected Mayor of London, once under his own independent banner after falling out with Tony Blair, he is one of the few figures in British politics to be routinely referred to by his first name - another being his nemesis, and Conservative successor as mayor, Boris Johnson. Like Mr Johnson, he cultivated a quirky public image, with his pet newts and appearances on chat shows. He even lent his nasal tones to a track on a best-selling Blur album. His way with a provocative soundbite was the making of him, propelling him to national prominence from the grey world of local government, but it has also got him into a lot of hot water over the years. Not for nothing is his autobiography called You Can't Say That. He was suspended from office as mayor for four weeks in 2006 for comparing a Jewish journalist to a concentration camp guard - a comment he continues to be unrepentant about, saying it was a "fuss about nothing". The suspension was overturned in court. He has also been repeatedly criticised for his decision to welcome controversial Muslim cleric Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, who condoned suicide bombings, to London in 2005. He said it was part of an effort to improve relations with the Muslim world. He remains popular in left-wing circles as one of the few genuine socialists to have achieved real power in the UK - but he had largely disappeared from the political scene, following his defeat in 2012 mayoral contest, although he continued to be elected to Labour's ruling national executive committee. He was enjoying semi-retirement when his old friend and ally Jeremy Corbyn was unexpectedly elected Labour leader last year. The two go back a long way - they share the same political outlook and commitment to causes such as nuclear disarmament and Palestinian solidarity - and Mr Corbyn worked hard to get him to the top at the Greater London Council in the early 1980s. Age: 70 Marital status: Married his long-term partner in 2009. Two children with current partner and three other children. Political party: Labour Time served as Mayor: Two terms from 2000-2008 Previous jobs: MP for Brent East 1987-2001; leader GLC 1981-1986; London councillor; lab technician; journalist and broadcaster Mr Corbyn drafted in advisers from Mr Livingstone's time in City Hall when he took on Labour's top job and Mr Livingstone himself became part of his inner circle. Before long, the former London mayor was back on the airwaves as Mr Corbyn's chief defender, in the face of attacks from Blairite opponents. He was also given a role on the party's defence review - but controversy, almost inevitably, followed. He faced a barrage of criticism from Labour MPs - including Mr Corbyn himself - for suggesting Kevan Jones, a shadow defence minister who had suffered from depression, needed "psychiatric help" for suggesting he knew nothing about defence. An apology eventually came but Mr Livingstone was soon in trouble again, over comments on BBC One's Question Time about how the 7/7 London bombers "gave their lives" to protest against the Iraq war. He then came under fire from Labour colleagues for describing a donation to Labour MP Dan Jarvis from a hedge fund as like "Jimmy Savile funding a children's group". It later emerged Mr Livingstone himself had accepted £8,000 from a hedge fund, leading to accusations of hypocrisy. Born in Streatham, south London in 1945, Kenneth Robert Livingstone attended Tulse Hill Comprehensive before taking up a job as a lab technician working on cancer research in the Royal Marsden Hospital. In 1971 he was elected to Lambeth Borough Council and that was the start of a long career in politics. Over the next 10 years he served as a local councillor and then on Greater London council before becoming the leader of the GLC in 1981. After the GLC was abolished he crossed the River Thames to Westminster, winning the seat of Brent East in 1987. He had a child at the age of 57 with his long-term partner and later wife Emma Beal. At the time it was thought to be his first child but in 2008 it emerged that he already had three other children with another two women. Beal and Livingstone went on to have a second child in 2004. He always had a difficult relationship with his own party. Frequently critical of Neil Kinnock, his battle with the party leadership did not diminish under Tony Blair. In the run-up to the mayoral election of 2000 he failed to secure the Labour candidacy, losing out to the leadership favourite, Frank Dobson. Mr Livingstone declared that he would stand as an independent candidate, and so Labour expelled him from the party. Standing as an independent far from scuppered him, and he won with 58% of the vote. In 2000, Tony Blair had been critical of his prospects in office claiming he would be a "disaster". However Mr Blair had to eat his words when Livingstone was admitted back into the party ahead of the 2004 mayoral election which saw him re-elected. "I think I should be big enough to say the prediction I made has not turned out right," Mr Blair said at the time. Mr Livingstone's flagship mayoral policy was the introduction of the controversial congestion charge in central London, later extended to west London. He unsuccessfully fought the Labour government as it introduced a public-private partnership plan for the London Underground. He was also involved with London's successful bid for the Olympic Games and in dealing with the aftermath of the terrorist attack of 2005. Even his opponent Boris Johnson praised him for speaking up for London after 7/7 and the failed attack several weeks later. Mr Livingstone boasts achievements such as the introduction of the Oyster card for London transport, free use of public transport for under-18s in full-time education and a revival and increased usage of London buses. He also claims to have increased numbers of police on London's streets to a record level. He faced attack for his links with the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, signing an oil deal with him in 2007 and when he lost the mayoral election in 2008 taking up a position as a consultant to Chavez, advising on urban planning. Ken Livingstone has always divided opinion. Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock alleges that it was the former GLC boss who invented the "loony left" and who brought about the council's abolition by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Others were shocked by his call for dialogue with the IRA and championing of gay and ethnic minority rights - issues on which he now says he was "ahead of his time". The Sun newspaper once described him as "the most odious man in Britain". But he is still popular with many on the left of the Labour Party, who relished his role as a thorn in Lady Thatcher's side and for speaking his mind about his socialist beliefs, when all about him in the party were abandoning theirs. It is, perhaps, ironic that just as the Labour Party has started to come back to his way of thinking, he faces being excluded from it. Dundee City and Angus councils have issued tenders looking for bidders to treat and dispose of up to 90,000 tonnes of rubbish a year from 2016. Waste from the two areas is currently disposed of at a waste to energy incinerator at Baldovie in Dundee. The new deal would see more than half of household waste from the area recycled at a fixed price. The Baldovie facility, which converts waste into electricity for the national grid, is currently leased by Dundee Energy Recycling Ltd. However, the company has struggled financially since a fire in May 2012 forced the plant to close for a year, and has previously stated that it does not expect to trade beyond 1 January 2016. Dundee City Council leader Ken Guild said the continuing use of the plant would save both councils a "considerable amount of money" in landfill tax, and provide long-term price certainty. He said: "A new operator will be able to ensure that appropriate long-term investment is made at Baldovie to deal with residual waste from both council areas in the best possible way, ensuring that it will meet new stringent Scottish Zero Waste regulations and have a lasting positive impact on our environment." Angus Council leader Iain Gaul added: "This project is complex, but it is one where the outcome for our residents is being driven by both councils. "This joint working is a significant achievement." The most recent figures for household waste recycling show Angus Council at 43.2% and Dundee City Council at 31.1%. Police said there have been more than 20 reports of flooded roads, with the Carlisle and Allerdale areas the worst affected. They warned motorists not to risk their safety by driving through them. The Environment Agency has issued flood alerts for the rivers Lowther and Eamont. There are fears strong winds combined with high tides could lead to a coastal surge. Nova Welsh, 24, was found in a utility cupboard at flats in Lighthorne Avenue, Birmingham, on 18 August 1981, said West Midlands Police. A post-mortem examination revealed the mother-of-two died from pressure to the neck. Osmond Bell, 59, from Handsworth, has been remanded in custody until Friday when he is due before Birmingham Crown Court. More on this and other Birmingham stories The Shore Test Facility reactor at Vulcan in Caithness will now been cleaned up and taken apart. Last year, the Scottish government criticised UK ministers and the MoD for its handling of a radioactive discharge at Vulcan. The incident happened in 2012 but was not made public until early 2014. The UK government said there were no safety concerns following the incident. Since the late 1950s, Vulcan has been the MoD's facility for testing new designs of nuclear submarine pressurised water reactors. It is next to, but operated separately from, the civil experimental nuclear power complex Dounreay on the north Caithness coast. Vulcan is operated by Rolls-Royce and most of the workforce are employed by the engineering company. Work to remove nuclear fuel and dismantle the Shore Test Facility reactor is expected to take until 2022. Rolls-Royce said it was developing a plan for the workforce beyond that date. In a statement it said: "Immediate tactical focus is on safe and accelerated delivery of the various preparations for the defuel and fuel movement programme. "We are, however, progressing at increasing and appropriate aligned pace on our business planning and development for utilisation and deployment of our nuclear skills in Caithness in 2022 and beyond. "Fundamental to this planning is ongoing flexible and informed transitional alignment to the overall Rolls-Royce submarines business demands and the UK's submarine and nuclear programmes." The London blue-chip index fell 7% in early trading to just over 5,800 points but ended the day 3.15% lower at 6,138. New York and European markets all suffered even bigger falls, with the Dow Jones posting its biggest one-day slide in almost five years. Sterling also plunged, falling more than 8% against the dollar and 6% against the euro. Credit rating agency Moody's cut the UK's outlook from stable to negative on Friday night, saying the Brexit vote could result in weaker economic growth. Wall Street fell sharply in late trading, with the Dow plunging more than 600 points, or 3.4%, to close at 17,400 points. The S&P 500 fell 3.6% - the biggest daily slide in 10 months - while the Nasdaq slumped 4.1% to give the technology-focused index its worst day since 2011. Jack Ablin, chief investment officer of BMO Private Bank, said: "This was really an event that caught most global investors flat-footed. We're going to see more days like today as the collective wisdom may prove wrong in others cases, too." In London the FTSE 250, which mostly comprises companies that trade in the UK, shed 7.2% to close at 16,088 points. Financial services group Aldermore was the biggest faller on the 250, down 32%, with house builder Crest Nicholson closing 26% lower. House builders were also the three biggest fallers on the FTSE 100, with Taylor Wimpey suffering a 29% slide. Liberum analyst Charlie Campbell said: "The outcome is bad for housebuilders' shares as the combination of slowing GDP, rising longer-term rates and political uncertainty is like Kryptonite for that group of shares." However, the FTSE 100 index still ended the week higher than it started at 6,021 points. Gold miner Randgold jumped 14%, while consumer-facing companies including GlaxoSmithKline, Unilever and Diageo all rose more than 3%. The London market regained some poise after the Bank of England pledged to intervene to help shore up the markets. Governor Mark Carney said the Bank was prepared to provide £250bn to support the markets, but added that "some market and economic volatility can be expected as this process unfolds". The European Central Bank also said it was closely monitoring financial markets and was in close contact with other central banks. Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said investors on the hunt for bargains helped the blue-chip index later in the day. "A significant number of FTSE 100 stocks ended the day in positive territory, predominantly those companies with lots of overseas earnings, which stand to benefit from a weaker pound," he said. "Looking forward, we expect further choppiness in the days and weeks to come." Brexit reaction: Business live Brexit: Five areas to watch on the economy Jack: The great business referendum snub City shock at referendum result UK interest rate 'likely to hit zero' How will Brexit affect your finances? Property market lull may follow EU vote Drivers 'face rising petrol prices' Business calls for stability and direction Sterling fell more than 10% early on Friday to levels not seen since 1985, sinking as low as $1.3236 against the dollar, before regaining some ground to $1.3578. John Higgins of Capital Economics said: "While this is still a lot lower than the $1.50 reached late on Thursday (UK time), it is not much different from the level that it reached a week earlier when the opinion polls first began to suggest that a Brexit was likely. It therefore seems disingenuous to suggest that sterling has collapsed in the wake of this outcome." UK government bond yields hit a new record low, with 10-year yields down more than 30 basis points to 1.018%, according to Reuters data. Two-year yields fell more than 20 basis points to their lowest levels since mid-2013, at 0.233%. Oil prices have also fallen sharply in the wake of the referendum outcome, with Brent crude down 4.9% to $48.41 a barrel - the biggest fall since February. US crude also fell 4.7% to $47.77 a barrel. Gold jumped 5% to its highest level in more than three years at $1,322 an ounce. The impact of the vote was also felt across the continent. The Dax in Frankfurt fell 6.8% - its worst day since 2008 - while Paris ended 8% lower, with falls of about 12% in both Milan and Madrid. Capital Markets analyst Oliver Roth said the slide in the Dax "wasn't quite as bad as we had feared. At the opening it was down almost 10% but the markets stabilised somewhat ... However, there is great concern after this political disaster." IAG, which owns British Airways and Iberia, said the result of the vote would hit its profits, sending shares down 22.5% in London. "Following the outcome of the referendum, and given current market volatility, while IAG continues to expect a significant increase in operating profit this year, it no longer expects to generate an absolute operating profit increase similar to 2015," it said. UK banks were also hit hard, with Lloyds closing 21% lower, Royal Bank of Scotland fell 18.8% and Barclays shed 17.7%. Along with housebuilders, the banking sector is regarded to be most at risk from a weaker UK economy. In France, Societe Generale plunged 20% and BNP Paribas fell 17.4%, while in Germany Deutsche Bank slumped 14.1% and Commerzbank slid 13%. Meanwhile, shares in Santander - the eurozone's largest bank - fell almost 20% in Madrid. David Tinsley at UBS said there would be "a significant rise in economic uncertainty" and that the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) was expected to take action, including interest rate cuts and an extension of its quantitative easing programme. "We expect the MPC will cut policy rates to zero and make further asset purchases, in the first instance of £50-75bn, not later than February 2017," he said.

Big air will make its Winter Olympics debut in PyeongChang in South Korea in February 2018. Ormerod scored 153.75 as the judges counted the two best runs out of three with Gasser, the World Cup leader, notching up 153.50. The Yorkshire teenager said: "It was by far the coldest and some of the toughest conditions I've ever had to compete in but an amazing place. I'm stoked to be on the podium with some awesome riders, Anna Gasser and Klaudia Medlova." It was Ormerod's third World Cup podium this season. Paul Newall, 30, from Larkhall, died after his Kawasaki bike was in collision with a white Mazda 2 on the southbound carriageway, near J7 at Larkhall, at about 22:40 on Thursday. The 43-year-old woman who was driving the car was uninjured. Both vehicles had been travelling in the same direction before the crash. Sgt Billy Broatch, of Police Scotland, said: "I'd like to speak to anyone who witnessed this crash or anyone who saw the motorcyclist travelling on the M74 along with another motorbike just prior to the crash taking place." Third Energy has applied to fracture underground rocks at a site near the village of Kirby Misperton in Ryedale and then pump gas from them. John Dewar, from Third Energy, said operations would be "conducted safely and environmentally". Anti-fracking campaigners are concerned about the effects of the process and the waste water generated. Fracking is a technique for extracting gas or oil trapped between layers of rock by forcing the layers open using water under high pressure. Mr Dewar said the application was an "important milestone" in the project to produce gas from the Bowland strata beneath North Yorkshire. "We know that the gas is present but it is only by actually hydraulically stimulating the rock that we can understand the potential of the gas to flow and the likely volumes that can be produced," he said. The application is for test production - if gas is found it will be extracted by the company for six weeks. The site already has a well, known as KM8, that was drilled during 2013. Chris Redstone, of Frack-free Ryedale, said: "Fracking produces huge quantities of waste water which contains hydrocarbons and heavy metals, many of which can be carcinogenic." North Yorkshire County Council confirmed the application had been received. It said it had yet to be validated and would go through the normal planning procedure, including a wide-ranging consultation. "No timetable has been set, it's a long process", a spokesperson said. Analysis by Danni Hewson, Business Correspondent at BBC Look North While Cuadrilla has been garnering the lion's share of national attention Third Energy has been quietly streaking ahead in the fracking race. The gas and oil company, predominantly owned by Barclays, has already carried out exploratory tests at their site in Kirby Misperton. They already have a pipeline in place to siphon off any gas produced and a power station on the grid to turn shale into electricity. While Cuadrilla's latest planning application is a lot further down the line and wider in scope, in terms of logistics they are still at the starting gate. They have no well ready to go at either of their two proposed sites and still need to test what's under the ground there. Third Energy's operations manager is aware his company could become a reluctant trail blazer. If planning permission is granted KM8 would be fracked for six weeks, though not continuously. What happens after that depends on how and if the gas flows. Energy resources firm Cuadrilla has applied to extract shale gas at its sites in Little Plumpton and Roseacre Wood, near Blackpool in Lancashire. The decisions on whether to allow fracking are due to be made by Lancashire County Council in June. IGas, another energy company, has also found shale gas at a test drilling well at Barton Moss in Salford. The technique was suspended in the UK in 2011 after fracking for shale gas deposits near Blackpool was linked to two minor earthquakes. However, a government report published in June 2012 concluded fracking was safe if adequately monitored. Jean McConville was taken from her home in Divis Flats in Belfast in 1972. She was murdered and secretly buried on a beach in County Louth by the IRA. Her son Billy told the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry he was abused by some De La Salle Brothers and physically abused by a lay teacher in Rubane House in County Down. He said: "It was one hell of a nightmare". He also said he believed there was "a conspiracy between the RUC and De La Salle Brothers" over what was happening at Rubane at the time. Mr McConville, who is now 48, claimed he was also abused at Rubane House by the notorious paedophile priest Fr Brendan Smyth. He told the BBC that he also blames the IRA for the abuse he claims he suffered. Two other witnesses also made allegations of physical abuse against the same lay teacher named by Mr McConville. One claimed he was "kicked and punched" while another said he suffered "a black eye and a burst nose". However, in a statement read to the inquiry, the former teacher said he always carried out his duties with "care and compassion". He described the allegations against him as "complete fiction" and "totally ridiculous". It was as recently as September 2007 that Rick Rubin, then co-head of Columbia Records, put forward the idea as a way of combating online music piracy and file-sharing. "You'd pay, say, $19.95 a month, and the music will come from anywhere you'd like," he told the New York Times. "In this new world, there will be a virtual library that will be accessible from your car, from your cell phone, from your computer, from your television." As it turned out, he was essentially describing Spotify, which launched just over a year later. He even got the price right. In those heady days, when the pound was a lot stronger, $19.95 was equivalent to £10, which, give or take a penny, is the monthly cost of Spotify Premium in the UK today. But Spotify is yet to make a profit, while plans to float the firm on the stock market have reportedly been delayed, raising a big question mark over its business model. Of course, Spotify isn't the only streaming platform out there. Others have joined it over the past decade, including Apple Music, Amazon Prime Music and Deezer, as well as high-resolution music services Tidal and Qobuz. But Spotify is seen as the leader, with more than 100 million users, 40 million of them paid-up subscribers to its Premium tier. The Swedish firm is now a major player in 60 countries, including the world's biggest music market, the US, where streaming accounted for 51% of music consumption last year. Reflecting the huge impact that Spotify has had, its chief executive, Daniel Ek, has just topped US music industry magazine Billboard's latest Power 100 list of the biggest movers and shakers in the business. "For the first time since [former file-sharing service] Napster decimated music sales, the recorded music industry is showing signs of growth, and that reversal of fortune is largely due to one man," Billboard said in its citation. The magazine also hailed Spotify as "the place fans discover music as well as consume it", pointing to its promoted playlists, including its Discover Weekly service. However, the clock is ticking for Spotify as it hatches its plans to go public. The firm originally planned to float this year, but according to the TechCrunch website, this could now be delayed until 2018. There are various issues behind this move, not least of which is that Spotify needs to conclude new long-term licensing deals with the big three record companies - Universal, Sony and Warner - to avoid the risk of suddenly losing major chunks of its content. It's thought that Spotify currently pays 55% of its revenue to record labels in royalties, with additional money going to music publishers. In the interest of finally becoming a profitable company, it would like to lower that percentage, but this is unlikely to go down well with artists, who argue that the royalties they receive from streaming are unfairly low as it is. But if it waits too long before floating, it could face a serious cash crisis. In March last year, the firm raised $1bn from investors at an interest rate of 5% a year, plus a discount of 20% on shares once the initial public offering (IPO) of shares takes place. However, under the terms of the agreement, the interest rate goes up by one percentage point and the discount by 2.5 percentage points every six months until the IPO happens. So as time goes on, Spotify must pay ever larger sums to its creditors just to settle the interest on its loan, while the amount of money it can raise from its IPO is trimmed by an ever greater amount. Unless Mr Ek can get the better of this brutal arithmetic, the future looks tough for Spotify. But at the same time, as Billboard says, "the entire music business now has an interest in its success". "If it's not already too big to fail, it's headed in that direction quickly," concludes the magazine. In its election guidelines, the broadcaster said its programmes should ensure that the party get a "proportionate share of the coverage". The Scottish Greens said the move was a "victory for common sense". But it attacked a ruling by Ofcom that could limit the amount of coverage it gets on commercial TV stations. The broadcasting watchdog, which regulates commercial broadcasters such as STV, has formally classed the Scottish Greens as a "smaller party" for the purposes of the election, meaning it will get less guaranteed airtime. The Scottish Greens said they were "angry" about the Ofcom ruling, which they said risked "relegating us from daily coverage of the election campaign" on commercial stations. The BBC's draft guidelines had previously suggested that the Scottish Greens - who had two MSPs elected in 2011 - should be classed as a smaller party, meaning they would get less coverage. But the corporation confirmed earlier this week that the Scottish Greens would be represented in both of its televised leaders' debates ahead of the election on 5 May. In its finalised election guidelines, which were released on Friday, the BBC said that the SNP, Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats should receive broadly similar levels of coverage during the election campaign. The guidelines added: "In some programmes and formats, the Scottish Green Party may receive similar levels of coverage to the four largest parties. "This may include debates, items detailing distinctive policies, as well as sequences of interviews with party leaders or other senior party figures or candidates. "In BBC Scotland, programmes should ensure that the Scottish Green Party is getting a proportionate share of the coverage each week." Responding to the move, a Scottish Greens spokesman said: "With our positive polling, surging membership and a strong figurehead in Patrick Harvie, we look forward to taking part in the full range of BBC programming in the run-up to an election that will be crucial in deciding the future direction of our parliament." The Scottish Greens had argued that they have "consistently outpolled the Liberal Democrats" in recent opinion polls, and pointed out that the party has been represented at Holyrood since the parliament was established in 1999. The party also said its membership had increased from about 1,200 in January 2014 to "over 9,000 people" in January of this year, which is said was more than the Scottish Liberal Democrats' membership figure. But in its own ruling, Ofcom said that parties had sometimes been elected to the Scottish Parliament with "relatively low levels of electoral support". The fact that the Scottish Greens have had MSPs since 1999 "is not in itself evidence of significant past electoral support", it stated. Ofcom also said that the Scottish Greens: The watchdog concluded: "We do not consider that the relevant evidence justifies this party's inclusion on the list as a larger party in Scotland." Responding to the Ofcom ruling, a spokesman for the Scottish Greens said: "The thousands of Scots who signed our petition calling on Ofcom to give us parity with Holyrood's four other parties will be angry and we share that anger. "The simplistic larger/smaller distinction is meaningless in the modern political landscape. "Ofcom admit that the Lib Dems have not performed well, yet they get to keep their privileged position. On any measure - polling, membership, satisfaction with party leaders - the Scottish Greens are clearly streets ahead of the Lib Dems." It became known as the prison island: it was where people were detained without charge, forced to do hard labour clearing the jungle with simple tools to make roads and farms. They were not given adequate food or clothing. Hundreds died due to illness, worn down by the toll of physical labour. Some others committed suicide. In the face of increasing global condemnation they were released by the end of the 1970s. They were free to leave the island but had to report regularly to the local authorities. This continued until President Suharto fell from power in 1998. But for some of the prisoners, returning to everyday life was simply not possible because of the stigma surrounding their detention. About 20 of them opted to stay on the island that imprisoned them. These are the settlers' stories. Diro was in his late 20s, married and with a young son when the military arrested him from his village of Boyolali in Central Java in 1968. "I was a farmer, helping my father on the farm, nothing more," he said. "Until now, I really don't understand why they detained me for more than 10 years; my wife never recovered from the shock and became mentally ill. She died while pregnant with my second child," he said. "We had to eat rats, snakes, mushrooms and plants—anything we could find in the jungle to survive," he recalled. He says he was beaten many times: "They beat my head and my legs. It hurts sometimes even now." His family were ostracised from their community. "My oldest child left school because he couldn't stand the stigma of being a son of an accused Communist Party member," he said. "If I went back to my village and I married again I was worried that my new wife and children couldn't stand it when people stigmatize them for being so-called communists," said Utomo. The Communist Party is still banned in Indonesia. When former political prisoners have tried to hold meetings in recent months they have been shut down. After being released Diro married a local woman, Mada, and they now live with their four children in the Savana Jaya Village alongside a small community of former political prisoners. His wife runs a food stall in front of their house and he works in their vegetable fields. In 1974, when the island was still a prison, the government said prisoners could invite their families to come and live with them. Many of the families didn't know their loved ones were on the prison island. Darsini was seven when her family moved to join her father on Buru. He was a teacher in a village in central Java and had been labelled a communist and sent to Buru without trial in 1969. "My father said that if we moved here, we could continue our education," said Darsini. She and her older sister were forced to leave school in Java after her father was arrested. Her former friends taunted her for being the daughter of a suspected communist. On Buru they were able to complete their education in peace. But the stigma even today still haunts them. "There are a few people here that if we have a disagreement with them they call us communists. It's really hurt us, because my father never went to trial. He died without seeing justice," she said. Roni Munawar, 75, had just graduated from the army academy in Bandung West Java when he was arrested. He was suspected to be a member of the group related to the failed coup on 30 September 1965. But he said he never knew about the coup, and was never put on trial. "I don't now why they detained me for a long time, and I think they sent us here so we can feed ourselves by clearing the jungle to make roads and paddy fields. Because they couldn't feed us anymore if we stayed in prison on Java," he said. He chose to stay in Buru after Suharto government released him at the end of the 1970s. "I didn't have anything in my homeland, and I thought my life would be meaningful here. I teach children to learn how to read and count, and find them scholarships to continue their studies," said Roni. Roni also works as an acupuncture and herbal therapist, using knowledge that he learnt from other prisoners. The replanting work is to restock parts of the forest felled to tackle a disease affecting larch trees. Specialist Welsh contractors planted 50,000 conifer trees, such as spruce and fir, which will be used by the timber industry in future decades. Approximately 18,000 trees, a mix of 12 species like oak, birch and cherry, will also be planted. The contractors plant each individual tree by hand and one worker can plant as many as 3,000 conifers in one day. Source: Natural Resources Wales The work is part of the wider planting programme by Natural Resources Wales where 3.2 million trees will be planted over the next six months. Islwyn Jones, of Natural Resource Wales, said: "This disease has, and will continue to have, a dramatic impact on our forests in Wales with many areas still to be felled. "The felling work is ongoing, but alongside this is our programme to replant with a mix of broadleaf and conifers for a new generation of forests. "This more diverse mix will actually benefit us in the future as it will be more resilient to disease and the effects of climate change."

Cook and Argyle coach Paul Wotton were both dismissed after coaching staff from both sides reacted when Matt and Michael Doyle clashed in the 2-2 draw. Matt appeared to push his head into the back of Doyle's during the first half. "I think it was a bit of nothing," said Matt, who scored both Argyle goals. "Me and 'Doyley' have had a few battles before so I think he's tried to rile me up, I've tried to give him a little bit back. I don't think it was anything malicious." TV replays suggested that referee Oliver Langford appeared to see the incident, and no action was taken against Matt, so it is unclear whether he will face any retrospective action. "The referee said 'no red card', he said it was nothing. I agree with him and we'll see what happens," said Matt. Both managers were circumspect when asked about the on and off-field incidents. "I get in enough trouble, don't I?," said Cook. "I can't behave on the sidelines, so the more I say about the referees the worse I get into trouble. "Their bench obviously thought we were trying to get the boy sent off, we get disappointed with the referee, I'm sure you guys have watched it so you'll be able to tell me if it was a sending off or not." Plymouth manager Derek Adams told BBC Radio Devon: "The fourth official will be able to tell you and I think that's as much as I would like to say, as the fourth official knew what happened." Argyle came from an early goal down to lead 2-1, before being pegged back by a second-half penalty after Peter Hartley fouled Marc McNulty. "It was a terrific performance from the players, I thought they were excellent, coming away from home, scoring two goals," Adams added. "We've given Portsmouth two goals that they really haven't had to work for and that's probably the disappointment of the night."

Plymouth striker Jamille Matt says the off-the-ball incident which led to Portsmouth boss Paul Cook being sent to the stands in the League Two play-off semi-final was "a bit of nothing".

Unions said turnout was high as workers protested against job cuts and the economic policies of the conservative president, Mauricio Macri. Protestors scuffled with police as President Macri hosted an economic forum for Latin American leaders. About a third of Argentines are living in poverty.

It would be Barcelona's first signing since they sold striker Neymar to Paris St-Germain for a world record £200m. Paulinho, now 29, joined Tottenham for £17m from Corinthians in 2013 and moved to China two years later. He will have a medical in Spain on Thursday with a view to completing the move the same day. Paulinho has established himself as a regular in the Brazil side since the appointment of Tite as coach last year. He has scored nine goals in 41 international appearances since making his debut in 2011, and was a member of the squad that won the Confederations Cup in 2013. He played a significant part in Evergrande winning last season's Chinese Super League and is set to leave with them five points clear at the top of the table this term. Barcelona have also made bids for Borussia Dortmund forward Ousmane Dembele and Liverpool attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho. Dortmund rejected the bid and have since suspended Dembele for missing training, while Coutinho handed in a transfer request after Liverpool turned down Barcelona's offer. Early help by local authorities has been "a casualty of government spending cuts", say the Children's Society and National Children's Bureau (NCB). They say failure to intervene early means a greater cost to taxpayers later and will "damage young lives". The government said it had increased early intervention funding. Early intervention funding - previously called the early intervention grant - enables local authorities to step in and help a child or young person who is vulnerable or at risk. The help includes advice on teenage pregnancy or drugs and alcohol, and help from children's centres and early years services. In a report - Cuts that cost: Trends in funding for early intervention services - research suggests that government funding for a range of early help services in England fell from £3.2bn in 2010 to £1.4bn in 2015. The charities say there are early indications, from a Freedom of Information request by the publication Children & Young People Now, that reductions in spending are set to continue for children's centres and services in 2015-16. A fund set up for the most vulnerable families in society, the Troubled Families programme, is expected to increase or remain stable. Experts in social work and child protection have suggested a potential link between the rise of child protection cases and the reduction in spending on early intervention services. "Levels of demand on the child protection and care systems can provide some indication of the effectiveness of services that work to support families struggling to care for their children and prevent them reaching crisis point," says the report. Matthew Reed, chief executive of the Children's Society, said: "Early intervention and help for children of all ages improves their lives, stops damage, and prevents more costly remedial solutions in the subsequent few years. "That's why we are calling on government to prioritise funding for early intervention and help for teenagers and children to make sure councils can maintain these essential services as we enter another period of austerity. "If we keep cutting early help now it will cost us all dearly in the long run." A government spokesman said: "Ensuring every child, regardless of their background, is given the opportunity to fulfil their potential is at the heart of this government's drive to provide real social justice. "We have invested more than £2bn in early intervention services, including 15 hours of free childcare for the most disadvantaged two-year-olds and enough funding to retain a national network of children's centres, which are helping a record number of parents. "We have given councils the freedom to use their funds on those services most needed by their communities. The £448m Troubled Families programme has turned around the lives of 117,000 of the most complex families, working with up to 400,000 more families from this year, backed with a further £200m investment." Labour's deputy leader urged the party to "hold its nerve" in what would be a "dirty, vicious" campaign in 2015. She dismissed talk of a possible future coalition with the Lib Dems, saying Labour was "not fighting for a draw". While David Cameron and Nick Clegg "wallowed in complacency" over the recovery, Labour was "giving people hope their lives can be better". By unveiling initiatives on energy, childcare, housing and training over the past four days, she said Labour had moved "from a party of protest, which understands people concerns, to a party of policy, which address those concerns". She urged the party to build on this "momentum" by taking the fight to their opponents, saying Labour now had more active party members than the Tories and Lib Dems combined. Ms Harman turned her fire on the Lib Dems, saying the party "had a nerve" to suggest it had acted as a restraint on their Conservative partners in government. "They call it coalition. We call it collusion." Referring to Nick Clegg's own conference speech last week advocating the merits of coalition, she suggested the deputy prime minister wanted "to go on and on and on and on" in office. "Labour is not fighting for a draw. Labour is fighting to win." Labour, she added, was the only party that truly represented women in the UK, suggesting prominent female figures were an "endangered species" in the other parties. Cathy McIllvenny talks about her sister, Lorraine McCausland, who was raped and murdered in north Belfast almost 30 years ago. The body of the mother-of-two was found beside a stream in Forthriver in 1987. Lorraine had been for a night out and was last seen in a loyalist club at Tyndale. Ms McIlvenny said her murder had "devastated" the whole family. She was speaking as police announced on Wednesday that they had reopened an investigation into her murder. Ms McIlvenny said the family have faith that police will secure convictions. "This investigation has given us hope that we haven't had for the past 29 years," said Ms McIlvenny. "We feel like we've got a good investigation going and we're going to have results out of it. "If I was living with something like that on my conscience and it could be something very small, and you think it's not important, but everything's important." Police believe Lorraine was raped in the club before she was "savagely beaten" and her body dumped. Det Insp Michelle Griffin from the PSNI's serious crime branch told a press conference that at the time of Lorraine's killing, the Tyndale community centre was used and run by loyalist paramilitaries groups, namely the UDA. "This was not a sectarian murder," she said. "There was no evidence they directed or sanctioned the murder, but we do believe that persons who were involved in her rape and murder were members of the UDA and close associates of the UDA." Ms McIllvenny said the family had struggled in the years following Lorraine's death. "To be honest, we never asked any questions about Lorraine's murder until my mother passed away in 2002 and then my father started investigations because he wanted answers," she said. "It was something that hung over the family that nobody could talk to each other about because it started somebody off crying or children heard it and it was only really in 2004/05 that we were able to look at Lorraine's case ourselves and that's when the ball started rolling." She appealed for people to come forward and "clear your conscience". "I'll never stop fighting until I get it (justice) for her. We do have a lot of faith in this team in actually bringing convictions for Lorraine's murder," she added. He made the solo descent in a submarine called Deepsea Challenger, taking over two hours to reach the bottom. He spent more than four hours exploring the ocean floor, before a speedy ascent back to the surface. His craft was kitted out with cameras so he could film the deep in 3D. "It was absolutely the most remote, isolated place on the planet," Mr Cameron told BBC News. "I really feel like in one day I've been to another planet and come back." This is only the second manned expedition to the ocean's deepest depths - the first took place in 1960 when US Navy Lt Don Walsh and Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard spent about 20 minutes on the ocean floor in a bathyscaphe called the Trieste. Lt Walsh, who is now in his 80s, joined Mr Cameron and his team of engineers out at sea for the dive. "It did bring back a lot of memories, just being out there and remembering what we did there," he told BBC News. "It was really grand." Mr Cameron has spent the past few years working in secret with his team of engineers to design and build the craft, which weighs 11 tonnes and is more than 7m (23ft) long. He describes it as a "vertical torpedo" that slices through the water allowing him a speedy descent. The extraordinary attention to detail prevented him from suffering from too much nervousness. "I can't say that I wasn't apprehensive in the last few days and even the weeks leading up to this, but there's another part of my mind that really understands the engineering and knows why we did everything the way we did," he said. "Any apprehension I had I left at the hatch. When I went into the sub, I was all pilot at that point." Ocean trench: Scroll 11,000m down The tiny compartment that the film-maker sits in is made from thick steel, which is able to resist the 1,000 atmospheres of pressure he experienced at full ocean depth. The rest of the vertical column is made from a material called syntactic foam - a solid made mostly of hollow "microballoons" - giving it enough buoyancy to float back up. The sub has so many lights and cameras that it is like an underwater TV studio - with Mr Cameron able to direct and film the action from within. He intends to release a documentary. It also has robotic arms, allowing him to collect samples of rocks and soils, and a team of researchers are working alongside the director to identify any new species. He says that science is key to his mission. But the first task was to get to the inky depths - which despite untold hours of training, still surprised Mr Cameron. "My reference frame was going to the Titanic 10 or 12 years ago, and thinking that was the deepest place I could ever imagine," he recalled. "On this dive I blazed past Titanic depth at 12,000 ft and was only a third of the way down, and the numbers keep going up and up and up on the depth gauge. "You just kind of look at them with a sense of disbelief, and you wonder if the bottom is ever going to be there." At the bottom, Mr Cameron encountered incredibly fine silt, which he had to be careful not to disturb. He said he spotted a few small, as-yet unidentified life forms but found the depths to be a "sterile, almost desert-like place". While manned exploration had until now seen a 52-year hiatus, scientists have used two robotic unmanned vehicles to explore the Mariana Trench: Japan's Kaiko made a dive there in 1995 and the US-based Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's vessel Nereus explored the deep in 2008. Other teams, such as Scotland's Oceanlab, have also been dropping simple landers loaded with bait and cameras into the deepest ocean. While places like the Mariana Trench were once thought to be of little interest, there has been a recent resurgence of scientific interest in the deep. Scientists are finding life that can resist the colossal pressures, from deep-sea fish to shrimp-like scavengers called amphipods, some of which can reach 30cm (1ft) long. They are also trying to understand the role that deep seas trenches play in earthquakes - these cracks in the sea floor are formed at the boundary of two tectonic plates and some believe the push and pull taking place deep underwater could be the cause of major earthquakes, such as the 2011 quake that resulted in such devastation in Japan. But some scientists question whether manned exploration provides the best platform for scientific research. Dr Alan Jamieson, from Oceanlab, said: "I think what James Cameron has done is a really good achievement in terms of human endeavour and technology. "But my feeling is that manned submersibles like this are limited in scientific capabilities when compared to other systems, mostly due to the fact there is someone in it. Remote or autonomous systems can collect a far greater volume of useful scientific data for far less money." Mr Cameron says he does not want this dive to the deep to be a one-off, and wants to use it as a platform for ocean exploration. His craft may also soon be joined by other manned submersibles vying to reach the ocean's deepest depths. One of these crafts, the DeepFlight Challenger, belongs to former real estate investor Chris Welsh, and is backed by Virgin's Richard Branson. It is about to begin its water trials. Its design is based on a plane, and Mr Welsh says he will be "flying" down to the deepest ocean. Google's Eric Schmidt has helped to finance another sub being built by a US marine technology company called Doer Marine. They want this sub to carry two to three people, and are placing a heavy emphasis on science. And Triton submarines, a Florida-based submersible company, intends to build a sub with a giant glass sphere at its centrepiece to take tourists down to the deepest ocean for $250,000 a ticket. Saints made the announcement less than 24 hours after Brown guided the team to their first Grand Final since 2011. The 41-year-old, who joined Saints at the start of 2013 after leaving Huddersfield, led the club to the League Leaders' Shield this year. "Nathan has done a great job in rebuilding the squad over the last two seasons," said chairman Eamonn McManus. "We are very strongly positioned indeed for the future." Brown previously coached St George Illawarra Dragons and had been keen to return to the NRL - he recently applied for the Wests Tigers' job, which went instead to Jason Taylor. In his first full season in charge at Langtree Park, Brown's side finished fifth and were beaten in the second week of the play-offs, losing by a single point to Leeds Rhinos. St Helens won 19 of their games this term to finish top of the Super League table and end a six-year wait for silverware. And victory over Catalan Dragons on Thursday ensured a spot in the Grand Final at Old Trafford on 11 October. "Nathan received our blessing to apply for the Wests Tigers head coaching position and, although not successful, the same family reasons for a return home still pertained," added McManus. "We therefore willingly agreed to grant him an early release regardless. "The club's focus is now entirely on winning the Grand Final at Old Trafford next week. "As it is Nathan's last game in charge, there is even more to play for and the motivation levels are even higher." The visitors have now won six of their seven west Wales Boxing Day clashes against the Llanelli-based team. John Barclay and Aled Davies went over for the home side's tries with Hanno Dirksen and Alun Wyn Jones replying before the break. Dan Biggar converted Eli Walker's try to give Ospreys victory. The home side's rollercoaster season had put them at the top of the Pro12 with eight wins from nine starts and bottom of Pool 3 in the European Champions Cup with four defeats. That was in clear contrast to Ospreys' record of only four previous wins in the Pro12 while sitting top of Pool 2 in Europe's top-tier tournament. Scarlets stayed top despite defeat after second-placed Connacht were beaten 10-3 by Ulster later in the day, while Ospreys remained eighth. Scarlets were rewarded for taking the early initiative as flanker and captain Barclay went over in the corner for Aled Thomas to convert. The home side had gone close from a series of driving mauls and straight-running forward forays. That created the space for Barclay to take the scoring pass and touch down unopposed on his return to the open-side jersey in the absence of injured James Davies. Penalties from fly-half rivals Thomas and Biggar kept the scoreboard moving with the home side leading until Ospreys' first try. They made the most of a scrum-five by bringing powerful runner Dirksen into play to charge over. Biggar's conversion levelled the scores at 13-13. Back came the hosts with another attack that combined route-one forward power with vision out wide. Jack Condy, on for injured skipper Barclay, got to within a metre of the line where scrum-half Davies picked up to burrow over and Thomas converted. Jake Ball's sin-binning for a late tackle on a kneeling Biggar did not help Scarlets' cause. Just when Wayne Pivac's side thought they might have the lead at the break, Ospreys lock Jones' overhead pass put centre Ben John into space and the visiting captain provided the finishing touch. Biggar converted to send the sides into half-time level at 20-20. Thomas restored Scarlets' lead with two penalties after the break only for Ospreys to go into the lead when Moldovan prop Dmitri Arhip's touchline burst paved the way for wing Walker's unhindered saunter to the line. Biggar converted, but then uncharacteristically missed a penalty before fluffing another of his specialities by spilling instead of taking a high ball. Wales flanker Dan Lydiate's rash, off-the-ball tackle on rival Aaron Shingler was another aberration. But Scarlets' Shingler, on for Thomas at fly-half, was also awry with the last-minute penalty, much to the relief of the visitors. Scarlets: Michael Collins; Steff Evans, Gareth Owen, Hadleigh Parkes, DTH van der Merwe; Aled Thomas, Aled Davies; Rob Evans, Ken Owens (capt), Jake Ball, Lewis Rawlins, Aaron Shingler, John Barclay, Morgan Allen. Replacements: Emyr Phillips, Phil John, Rhodri Jones, George Earle, Jack Condy, Rhodri Williams, Steve Shingler, Regan King. Ospreys: Dan Evans; Eli Walker, Ben John, Josh Matavesi, Hanno Dirksen; Dan Biggar, Tom Habberfield; Paul James, Scott Baldwin, Dmitri Arhip, Lloyd Ashley, Alun Wyn Jones (capt), Dan Lydiate, Justin Tipuric, James King. Replacements: Sam Parry, Nicky Smith, Aaron Jarvis, Rory Thornton, Dan Baker, Olly Cracknell, Martin Roberts, Sam Davies. Referee: Nigel Owens (Wales) Assistant referees: Leighton Hodges, Wayne Davies (both Wales) Citing commissioner: Aurwel Morgan (Wales) TMO: Jon Mason (Wales) Murray, 29, will be seeking a repeat of the form that saw him overcome Ivo Karlovic in the third round on Friday. But Isner is a much stronger all-round player than Karlovic and has pushed Murray hard in previous meetings. The match is scheduled third on Court Suzanne Lenglen but could be delayed because of rain. The American, seeded 15th, accepts Murray would have benefitted from his match against Karlovic. "He's definitely got some reps in against a pretty big serve," he said. "But my serve is a little bit different. I think I can back it up better, as well. "He's played the big points better than me, which is one of the reasons why he's number two in the world. So I'm going to have to step up when I get opportunities - if I get them. "It's a match I would love to win, and a match I believe I can win." Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox. Groups of people have been seen trying to warm up around bonfires on a cold night on the Greek side of the border. About six migrants earlier sewed their lips together in protest. Macedonia and other Balkan nations said last week they would only let in people fleeing conflicts - such as in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Hundreds of migrants have been protesting for several days against the decision. About 2,900 people crossed into Macedonia in the 24 hours before 06:00 (local time) on Monday, down from more than 6,000 on the previous day, the Associated Press news agency quoted local police as saying. (Don't) give me your tired, your poor - Jon Sopel on America's refugee dilemma Europe's border controls have come under renewed scrutiny since the attacks in Paris on 13 November. At least two of the militants involved had passed through Greece, apparently posing as migrants, early last month. Balkan countries said last week they would only open their borders to people fleeing countries affected by war such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. 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. Some 52% of those polled believed the current number of MPs was "about right", with 28% backing increasing the number of Welsh MPs to more than 40. The number of Welsh MPs will fall from 40 to 29 at the next general election. It is part of a move to reduce the number of UK MPs from 650 to 600. One Conservative who could see his constituency disappear under the plans is Montgomeryshire MP Glyn Davies. He agrees that Wales has sent too many MPs to Westminster, but believes that the rural population could loose out under the new plans. He told BBC Wales' Y Sgwrs programme: "I worry a lot about what will happen." Mr Davies said: "Rural areas will lose out. I expect that to happen in Wales more than any other area." He added: "The bill specifies the same amount of population for each constituency. "There is no flexibility for the commissioners to bring sensible suggestions forward." The changes are being made as a result of rules that require broadly equal numbers of voters in each constituency. Welsh constituencies currently have, on average, fewer voters than English ones. The Boundary Commission for Wales has said it will publish "initial proposals" for Welsh constituencies later in 2016, to be followed by a period of consultation. When asked about the number of assembly members, just under half of the respondents, 48%, believed that the current 60 AMs is "about right". But 23% of those polled believed the number of AMs should be cut. Assembly Presiding Officer Dame Rosemary Butler has called for an increase to 80 AMs, in response to the additional powers and responsibility being devolved to Wales. Only 13% of those asked agreed with her, with 7% in favour of raising the number of assembly members to over 80. Dr Elin Royles from Aberystwyth University believes that there is a strong argument for increasing the number of AMs. "Increasing the numbers of assembly members would reflect the growth in powers and the need for strong scrutiny, so that we can create good legislation here in Wales," she said. "This then would go hand in hand with the cut in MPs." Data from the St David's Day poll released on Tuesday suggested that health was the biggest single issue that could affect the way people vote in May's assembly election. Clucas, 26, has signed for four years for an undisclosed fee after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms. The Swans had an earlier £12m bid for Clucas rejected. He arrived as Swansea sought a replacement for Gylfi Sigurdsson after the Iceland midfielder's £45m move to Everton. The new arrival could make his Swans debut when they seek a first win of the season at Crystal Palace on Saturday. While Swansea survived in the Premier League last season, Clucas shone even as Hull were relegated. Kingsley, 23, has signed a three-year deal with Hull, also for an undisclosed fee. Before the deal was confirmed, Swansea manager Paul Clement underlined the player's versatility - he can play in defence, midfield, on the wing and was a striker while at Leicester's academy. From there he went to the Glenn Hoddle Academy before rising to the top flight via Hereford, Mansfield and Chesterfield before joining Hull in 2015. "He has experience of playing at Premier League level, he has a lot of experience of playing in British football," said Clement. "And I also like the story, I like his background. He's had to fight to where he's got to through the route he's come in the lower levels. "He was at the Glenn Hoddle Academy, he became a very strong and established player at Hull and I think he's going to be a really good addition to us."

Passengers have been told to expect delays and to contact their airline before travelling to the airport. There will be further disruption for travellers over Christmas because of industrial action over pay disputes. The poor visibility in south-east England caused at least a dozen British Airways flights to be cancelled. "In common with other airlines, we are experiencing some disruption to our flights," a BA spokesperson said. BA warned that there would be knock-on delays due to disruption at Heathrow. It said to expect delays and a "small number" of cancellations, as the airport has restricted landing and take-off. On Friday, BA cabin crew based at Heathrow said they would strike on Christmas Day and Boxing Day in a row over pay and conditions. Christmas 2016 travel: When should I avoid the roads? Are we facing a Christmas of Discontent? Source: Civil Aviation Authority London City airport told passengers that "significant fog in London is continuing to cause flight delays" and that it was closing from around midday on Saturday until Sunday. The Met Office said to expect cloudy weather throughout Saturday evening in London, with areas of mist and fog becoming widespread. Sunday will "start on a grey and murky note with patchy fog persisting", a statement added. Other parts of the country also experienced reduced visibility on Saturday. The disruption to flights comes days before a planned 48-hour strike at UK airports called by the Unite union over pay and conditions. More than 1,500 check-in staff, baggage handlers and cargo crew employed by Swissport will walk out on 23 December. It is unclear exactly how many airports will be affected, but airlines at Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Leeds/Bradford, Liverpool, Newcastle, Heathrow, Stansted and Manchester airports all employ Swissport staff. Swissport said it had made numerous offers to Unite since April 2015 to resolve the dispute. It said the planned strike was "another in a series of recent examples where a minority of trade union members are acting in a cynical fashion". The company said it would do "everything within its power to limit any impact of the proposed industrial action on the airlines it serves and their passengers". Virgin Atlantic pilots have voted to work to rule from 23 December in a row over union recognition. Deutsche Welle reported that suspected members of Reichsbuerger group were allegedly planning attacks on police officers, asylum-seekers and Jews. About 200 officers were involved in the operation. The federal prosecutor's office said the raids targeted six people accused of founding the group. A seventh person is suspected of helping obtain supplies for them, including arms and ammunition. The 12 raids took place in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Berlin, Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony-Anhalt. No details of any arrests have been released. A statement from the prosecutor's office said: "The goal of today's search measures was to obtain further evidence of the actual creation of a formal group, as well as the alleged planned criminal acts and any potential tools." The suspects were largely connected via social media, said Deutsche Welle, and were believed to have begun planning armed attacks in spring 2016. However, the news website said investigators had not found "concrete" evidence pointing to a terror attack. The Reichsbuerger ("Reich Citizens") group does not recognise the authority of the post-war German federal republic. It believes in the continued existence of a German empire, or Reich, dating back to 1937 or even earlier. Bavarian officials said the group's ideology was "nationalist and anti-Semitic... clearly extreme right". The party's assembly election manifesto pledges to find £200m of annual savings within 100 days of taking power. The proceeds would largely fund policies such as cutting hospital waiting times and providing free social care for the elderly, Plaid Cymru said. Leader Leanne Wood said Plaid had the "ideas and drive to build our nation". By Spring 2017 Plaid would aim to raise annual savings to £300m, with the NHS saving a further £300m in efficiencies, and a new tuition fee policy £250m. Students from Wales currently only pay £3,810 towards their tuition fees wherever they study in the UK with the rest, up to £5,190 a year, paid for by the Welsh government. Under Plaid's plans, Welsh students working in Wales after graduation would receive £6,000 a year after graduating, up to a maximum of £18,000. A cap on redundancy payments in the public sector would also save £40m, the party said. Details: What is in Plaid's manifesto? The party said NHS efficiency savings would be ploughed back into the health budget. It also said the overall annual health budget would be £925m higher by 2020-21 than in 2015-16. Plaid Cymru's plans for government include integrating much of health and social care, with local councils put in charge of community services, such as GPs' surgeries, district nurses and mental health. An extra 1,000 doctors and 5,000 nurses would be recruited, to help drive down waiting times. In schools, there would also be a 10% pay boost for teachers who gain extra skills. Severn crossing tolls would be abolished for people living in Wales, if the powers are devolved from Westminster, the party said. "We recognise Wales as a political nation in its own right," Ms Wood said. "Which is why our country should have the tools to act like a nation, to innovate, to create jobs and to deliver world class-class public services." She said there was a chance to build a "new kind of society" in Wales that "promotes equality, creates wealth, shares wealth and broadens life chances". The manifesto states an independent Wales "remains our long-term aspiration as a party" but there are no plans to hold a referendum on the issue "in the near term". Plaid said its government programme had been independently checked, for the first time, by academics at Cardiff Metropolitan University. Prof Brian Morgan and Prof Gerry Holtham said the "overall income projections and the estimated costings" seemed to be "reasonable". But they warned the "greatest uncertainty" concerned the efficiency savings. "It is certainly the case raising these sums from efficiency gains is not going to be easy or painless," they said. Plaid's 194-page document was the first party manifesto to be published during this assembly election campaign. Plaid Cymru is trying to bring an element of freshness to the Welsh Government, partly by getting rid of old programmes and also by making efficiency savings to fund new ones. So by spring 2017 the party says it will have found £1bn in savings to spend on its priorities - £300m will come from asking the NHS to work more efficiently. But in a period when the Welsh Government budget has been feeling the pinch, it won't be easy. Many of the policies have been announced before, including changing the tuition fee system so students will build up debt in future but can claim back up to £18,000 if they work in Wales after graduation. After 17 years of Labour government Plaid says it is the change Wales needs. To achieve that goal it will have to transform the electoral landscape, after a difficult few years since Leanne Wood took over as leader. The 2014 Ryder Cup winner says he has been troubled by the problem since last May, when he was forced to pull out of the PGA Championship at Wentworth. Gallacher will have his arm in a sling for 10 days. The 41-year-old, who is 47th in the 2016 Ryder Cup qualifying standings, hopes to return to action in the Spanish Open at Valderrama in April. Gallacher said the injury had hindered him "on the course, on the practice range and also in the gym". Macclesfield substitute Danny Rowe's late left-foot curler hit the post, before he then struck the same upright with a low left-foot shot. In an entertainingly competitive game, midfielder Danny Whitaker was also denied by a fine first-half save by debutant Chester keeper Alex Lynch. But Chester deserved to extend their unbeaten National League run to nine games, during which they have conceded just one goal. Chester went close before the break as Jordan Chappell and Elliott Durrell were both denied. But the pace and trickery of ex-Chester striker Chris Holroyd also caused the visitors problems.

His previous deal was due to expire in 2018, and there had been speculation of a move to Tottenham. Team-mates Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel, Wes Morgan and Andy King, and manager Claudio Ranieri, have all signed new deals this summer. Drinkwater said: "I couldn't be happier. I've loved playing for this club, it's been perfect for me and my career and I want to be here for a long time to come. "We've been through so much together and I'm sure there's a lot more to come." Ranieri added: "Since I joined, Danny has been one of our most consistent players. He's a fantastic player and a fantastic man. "He's an important player for us and a very popular player in the dressing room. I want him to stay with us for a very long time." Drinkwater, who joined Leicester in 2012 from Manchester United, won three England caps last season, but failed to make the final squad for Euro 2016. He played in 35 of Leicester's 38 league games last season and formed an impressive midfield partnership with N'Golo Kante, who joined Chelsea in July.

Mr Litvinenko died from radiation poisoning in a London hospital in November 2006, nearly three weeks after drinking tea laced with the substance. Two Russians, Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun, have denied any involvement. The 43-year-old may also have been poisoned in October that year, counsel to the inquiry Robin Tam QC said. Mr Litvinenko had fled to the UK where he became a vocal critic of the Kremlin and worked for the UK intelligence service MI6. He had recalled feeling unwell around the time of a meeting at a security company in mid-October and "vomiting on one occasion about two or three weeks before being hospitalised," Mr Tam said. "Hair samples that are available indicate that Mr Litvinenko may well have been poisoned twice and that the first occasion being much less severe than the second." BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera earlier said investigators had followed a radioactive trail across London. It suggested Mr Litvinenko was poisoned not on the first attempt, but on the third, he said. The two men suspected of killing Alexander Litvinenko made three trips to London in the run up to his death and brought Polonium to try to kill him each time, the BBC understands. The judge-led inquiry was officially opened by presiding judge Sir Robert Owen at the Royal Courts of Justice. Sir Robert said Mr Litvinenko's death from radiation poisoning in London in 2006 had attracted "worldwide interest and concern". Mr Litvinenko's widow Marina says he blamed the Kremlin as he lay dying in hospital, but Russia denies any involvement. Her lawyer has described his murder as "an act of state-sponsored nuclear terrorism on the streets of London". Mr Litvinenko was poisoned with radioactive polonium-210, following a meeting with two Russians at the Millennium Hotel in central London. The pair, Dmitry Kovtun and former KGB bodyguard Andrei Lugovoi - whom the UK police have identified as suspects in the case - have been invited to give evidence via videolink from Russia, Sir Robert said. Mr Lugovoi told Russian television station LifeNews TV on Tuesday that there could be no fair trial in Britain. "They classified the materials, saying Litvinenko co-operated with English intelligence. How can it be investigated impartially after that?" he said. "This is why we pulled out in protest - we want it to be investigated but we want it to be impartial and, moreover, we want it investigated in Russia." Sir Robert said sensitive evidence had established there was a "prima facie case" as to the culpability of the Russian state in Mr Litvinenko's death. The judge said the use of polonium could have killed large numbers of people "or spread general panic and hysteria among the public". "The issues to which his death gives rise are of the utmost gravity and have attracted worldwide interest and concern," he said. Sir Robert was originally appointed as the coroner at Mr Litvinenko's inquest but he called for a public inquiry because the inquest could not consider sensitive evidence due to national security fears. The UK government resisted the move at first but later changed its stance last July, amid worsening relations with Moscow over the crisis in Ukraine. BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera: Will inquiry find answers? Robin Tam QC said many theories had been put forward about what happened to Mr Litvinenko, including suggestions that he had committed suicide, or accidentally poisoned himself when handling the radioactive substance as part of a smuggling deal. "As we shall hear over the coming weeks, for some of these theories there is considerable supporting evidence, for others less, and for yet others none at all," he said. Mr Tam said Mr Litvinenko and his family had fled Russia and their journey to the UK "would not disgrace the pages of a thriller". They arrived in the UK in November 2000 and claimed asylum. Mr Litvinenko and his family were granted British citizenship just weeks before he died. Mr Tam listed numerous issues which would have to be considered by the inquiry, such as Mr Litvinenko's relationship with the late Russian businessman Boris Berezovsky and his links to journalist Anna Politkovskaya, a fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin who was killed in 2006. The inquiry heard other considerations included Mr Litvinenko's criticism of President Putin's regime. "Could the Kremlin have regarded him as an irritant or worse?" asked Mr Tam. The QC said evidence would be heard - both in the open and closed sessions - that Mr Litvinenko had been working for MI6 - a claim which the government refuses to confirm or deny. He asked: "If Mr Litvinenko was working for MI6, could this have become known in Russia and might this have provided a motive to anyone in Russia whether in authority or otherwise for wishing Mr Litvinenko dead?" The inquiry heard one of the suspects, Mr Lugovoi, had alleged that the UK intelligence services were involved in Mr Litvinenko's death. It will also hear evidence that Mr Litvinenko could have been assisting the Spanish security services with investigations into organised crime, as well as taking on private security work for Western businesses. Internal documents also reveal that many of the officers who will receive the increase were already receiving allowances of £4,000. The details were not included when the pay rise was announced by Justice Secretary Liz Truss. Officials deny they have given out any inaccurate or misleading information. When the announcement of the new allowances was made, the Ministry of Justice said it would apply to "Band 3" front-line prison officers in 31 jails where it had been hard to recruit and retain staff. The jails are in London and south-east England, and include Bedford, Belmarsh, Brixton, Chelmsford, Feltham, Pentonville, Wandsworth, Whitemoor and Wormwood Scrubs. The Prison Officers Association said at the time that although it welcomed any additional pay for its members, it was a "divisive" decision because it "ignored" many other grades of staff. The department said "thousands" would get an "immediate" pay boost. But an internal briefing note seen by the BBC reveals that the number benefiting immediately is 1,617 prison officers out of more than 30,742 staff working in public-sector prisons - 5.26% of the workforce. The document also reveals that the new allowances, worth £3,000 in some jails and £5,000 in others, replace existing payments of £2,500 and £4,000. When the rises were announced, the Ministry of Justice did not disclose how much the current payments were worth, saying only that the new allowances replaced "existing pay increments". Its decision to leave out important details may have led to the impression that the pay increase was more widespread and substantial than it really was. In March, Ms Truss's department was heavily criticised by Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, for its handling of an announcement to extend a programme to allow vulnerable witnesses to be cross-examined before a trial. Lord Thomas said there had been a "complete failure" by the ministry to understand the practical difficulties of extending the scheme, saying judges had to correct a "serious misapprehension" about the roll-out. The Ministry of Justice has not issued an official statement in response to the latest disclosures, but officials said its February press release did not contain anything that was factually incorrect or misleading, and pointed out that staff joining the 31 prisons would also be entitled to the payments. The document said about 2,400 new prison officers, who are expected to join the selected jails during 2017-18, would be eligible to receive the allowances which will be available annually at least until March 2021. As part of other changes, Band 3 prison officers at the jails will be paid from the "midpoint" of their pay range. It means they can expect to earn between £26,456 to £31,453, including the allowances, as a "minimum". Cafwyd hyd i Matthew Williams, 34, yn ymosod ar Cerys Yemm, 22, yng ngwesty'r Sirhowy Arms yn Argoed, Sir Caerffili ar 6 Tachwedd 2014. Cafodd Mr Williams ei saethu gyda gwn Taser gan swyddogion ddaeth i'w arestio, a bu farw'n ddiweddarach. Dywedodd Mandy Miles, perchennog y Sirhowy Arms, wrth y gwrandawiad fod "gwaed ym mhobman" a bod yr olygfa "fel rhywbeth o ffilm arswyd". Ar y pryd, dywedodd Ms Miles mewn galwad 999 ei bod yn credu fod Williams yn bwyta Miss Yemm, ond dywedodd wrth y cwest ei bod hi'n gwybod bellach nad oedd hynny'n wir. Dywedodd: "Roedd ei ben i lawr wrth ei phen hi. Wnaeth e ddim ymateb i'n llais i. Dywedais 'Matthew beth wyt ti'n wneud?'. "Dywedodd fy mab, 'Wyt ti'n ei bwyta hi?'. Er bod gwyddoniaeth yn dangos nad oedd e'n gwneud hynny - yn fy meddwl i, dyna roedd e'n wneud." Ychwanegodd: "Roedd yna weiddi o'r ystafell wedi i swyddogion yr heddlu fynd i mewn yno. Roedden nhw'n gweiddi 'cer i lawr'. "Rwy'n credu fod Matthew wedi ceisio dianc. Petai e wedi dianc, fe allai fod wedi lladd pawb." Yn gynharach clywodd y cwest dystiolaeth gan fam Mr Williams, a ddywedodd nad oedd ei mab wedi cael unrhyw gymorth i'w broblemau iechyd meddwl. Dywedodd Sally Ann Williams mewn datganiad fod ei mab wedi dioddef o broblemau iechyd meddwl ers ei fod yn ei arddegau, a'i fod yn cymryd cyffuriau ac mewn trafferth â'r heddlu yn aml. "Doedd e ddim y math o berson fyddech chi am ei groesi," meddai. Dywedodd nad oedd hi'n credu mai carchar oedd y lle gorau i'w mab, a bod angen iddo fod yn rhywle lle y byddai'n cael gofal i'w broblemau. Ychwanegodd Mrs Williams nad oedd ei mab wedi cael "unrhyw gefnogaeth o gwbl" wedi iddo gael ei ryddhau o'r carchar bythfenos cyn y marwolaethau, a bod y ddau wedi methu yn eu hymgeision i sicrhau apwyntiadau i weld meddyg a thîm iechyd meddwl. Clywodd y cwest hefyd gan Rhodri Moore, ffrind i Matthew Williams, oedd wedi bod yn yfed a smocio canabis gyda Williams a Cerys Yemm yn yr oriau cyn ei marwolaeth, a ddywedodd ei fod yn gallu gweld nad oedd Williams yn ei iawn bwyll. "Roedd e'n dweud wrth ei fam, 'dwi angen help', roeddwn i'n gallu dweud nad oedd pethau'n iawn gyda fe," meddai. Roedd Mr Williams hefyd wedi bod yn gweld wynebau mewn caniau diodydd meddal, meddai, ac yn gweld drychiolaethau. Ychwanegodd Mr Moore bod Matthew Williams a Cerys Yemm wedi bod yn treulio amser gyda'i gilydd yn y dyddiau cyn eu marwolaethau a bod nhw'n "fflyrtio", ond nad oedd unrhyw arwydd o drais tuag at Ms Yemm. Mr Brown said a "No" vote would be the "starting gun" for Holyrood to be handed greater control over finance, welfare and taxation. It is understood the three main Westminster parties will formally back Mr Brown's proposals on Tuesday. The SNP has said the "No" campaign is in a state of "absolute panic". A Downing Street spokesman said of Mr Brown's announcement: "We welcome this Labour initiative and we are content with the proposed timetable". On Sunday, Chancellor George Osborne pledged to set out a "plan of action" on the implementation of new powers. It came in the wake of a YouGov poll which gave the pro-independence campaign a narrow lead for the first time in the campaign ahead of the referendum on 18 September. In other developments: Mr Brown formally unveiled his proposed timetable for those new powers, in a speech at the Loanhead Miners Welfare and Social Club in Midlothian on Monday evening: Despite the apparent momentum building behind the Yes campaign, Downing Street insists there will be no change of strategy, no surge of announcements, no rush of ministerial visits. Instead, the UK government intends to stick doggedly to its core strategy of warning about the economic dangers of separation and doubts about a future Scottish currency. No 10 hopes this, coupled with the promise of more powers for Scotland, will be enough to save the Union. But among MPs on all sides, there is mounting anxiety. One senior Tory told me it was "typical last-minute panic from Cameron and Osborne". Anxiety centres on what is seen as a lack of passion and a call for Mr Cameron to inject more emotion into the case for the union, to talk less about sterling and more about family and values. There are also demands for the prime minister to show more urgency, to sweep aside the rest of his diary and to focus solely on Scotland. As for Ed Miliband, there are similar worries that he has failed to shore up the Labour vote and made little impact in its Scottish heartlands. In short, leaders may not be panicking just yet but there are plenty of their MPs who are already deeply fearful that the break-up of the union may be just 10 days away. Mr Brown went on to restate what new powers Labour would be pushing for, in 12 policy areas. They included the option of a non-profit making railway company and devolving powers over the work programme and housing benefit. He said: "There never again could be a bedroom tax imposed by Westminster on Scotland because we would give the power to set housing benefit to the Labour people and everyone else who is in the Scottish parliament. "These are big changes that we are proposing. To strengthen the Scottish Parliament but at the same to stay as part of the United Kingdom for pensions, for social security for funding out health service, for the currency, interest rates, the economy, defence and security." A Downing Street source earlier said Mr Brown's timetable was "not a million miles away from our thinking" while another added: "This is in line with the fruits of the cross-party discussions." The poll by YouGov in The Sunday Times at the weekend has led to an "intensifying debate on how to react", according to a very senior business figure close to this debate I spoke to this morning. Two banking sources have also revealed that bank branches north of the border have started holding more cash at branches, in case members of the public decide they want to take out their money. That is how seriously the banks themselves, and the Bank of England (which has been informed about this cash move), are taking the possibility of a Yes vote on 18 September. Let's be clear. There appears to be no evidence yet of "deposit flight" - people moving money to English domiciled banks. And sources have said that moving some additional cash to branches is often a reaction to electorally volatile situations - a close general election, for example. But financial institutions are preparing for all eventualities with movements of cash (a very small percentage of the liquidity they hold) and short-term buffer arrangements, should the need arise. Read more from Kamal Speaking ahead of Mr Brown's announcement, Alistair Darling, the head of the pro-UK Better Together campaign, stressed that no new powers would be put on the table beyond those already announced by the three main Westminster parties earlier this year. He added: "The additional powers coming to the Scottish Parliament were announced by the party leaders, north and south of the border, some time ago. "People have said, 'Yes we want to know the timetable and the process' and that is something the government is going to announce this week. "But remember this, this is a referendum on whether or not we stay on the United Kingdom. It is not a referendum on what further powers we are going to get. We are going to get them anyway, if we stay in the United Kingdom. Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said plans to increase the powers of the devolved Edinburgh parliament were a "panicky measure" announced without credibility, because the Yes Scotland campaign for independence was "winning on the ground". Speaking on behalf of Yes Scotland, former Scottish Labour Party chairman and Labour for Independence campaigner Bob Thomson said: "This smacks of utter panic and desperation by the 'No' campaign as they lose their lead in the polls. "Gordon Brown is in no position to offer anything - he is a backbench MP, and the Tories are in power at Westminster. "The choice is to vote Yes for all the powers we need to create jobs and protect Scotland's NHS - or No for a Tory-led talking shop. "The people of Scotland will not trust the Tories to deliver powers that in any event fall far short of what we need. The sure fire way to achieve the full range of powers Scotland needs to build a fairer society and more prosperous economy is to vote Yes a week on Thursday." What are the No parties offering? As the people of Scotland weigh up how to vote in the independence referendum, they are asking questions on a range of topics. But what issues are important?

Labour leader Ed Miliband is to welcome Gordon Brown's proposals in a speech at a TUC dinner later. Arriving at the event in Liverpool, he said many trade unions were campaigning for a No vote for "solidarity and social justice". He insisted Labour would deliver the timetable outlined by Mr Brown if elected to government in May 2015. "Voting No in this referendum is not a vote for no change, we will deliver change, we are determined to deliver change," Mr Miliband added. "Change for greater social justice for Scotland but also change for greater devolution to Scotland. We know things need to change and a No vote will deliver that change." African football body Caf says the Harare event, which Zimbabwe FA boss Phillip Chiyangwa says is a birthday party, is a bid to 'destabilise Caf.' Long-standing Caf president Issa Hayatou has not been invited. "When you do your party, invitations are sent at your own discretion," said event organiser Chamu Chiwanza. "I'm not saying he's not close to the Caf president but if you're not friends, why would you invite them just because they have a position?" Chiwanza, the chair of Zimbabwe's Affirmative Action Group, is head of the organising committee for this event. The function is officially to celebrate Chiyangwa's 58th birthday and his unexpected appointment as president of the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (Cosafa) in December. However, some claim the gathering is a platform to bolster support for Madagascar FA head Ahmad, who takes on Hayatou in next month's Caf presidential elections. The Malagasy is seen as the most serious challenger to the Cameroonian, who took charge of Caf in 1988, for many years. Some 24 heads of African football associations are expected for the event hosted by Chiyangwa, Ahmad's campaign manager. Earlier this month, Cosafa pledged its support for the Malagasy ahead of the 16 March elections in Addis Ababa. Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick, who will also be in Harare, has already told the BBC he will vote for Ahmad as well. That theoretically accounts for 15 votes, with a total of 28 needed to unseat Hayatou. Caf warned Chiyangwa not to hold the gathering, insisting that he is not allowed to discuss football matters with leaders outside the Cosafa region. "Rest assured there is not going to be any meeting to discuss crucial football matters with the Fifa president - it's about celebrations," said event organiser Chamu Chiwanza. "Phillip is known for doing extraordinary things. He brought Michael Jackson to Zimbabwe in 1998 and who knows, maybe even Donald Trump will be part of the delegation next year!" Also attending the Harare event is Fifa secretary general Fatma Samoura - the second-most powerful person in world football - and several business people, including South African billionaire Patrice Motsepe. Infantino will arrive in Zimbabwe on Thursday evening prior to departing for Uganda on Friday night. Derrick, 53, is still undergoing medical treatment after surgery for a brain tumour. "John has been involved in cricket for more than 35 years so it is a very easy phone call for us to make asking people to support him" said ex Glamorgan player Mike Powell. It is hoped the funds will help Derrick adapt his house. Powell is working alongside county chief executive Hugh Morris, Professional Cricketers' Association official Ian Thomas and current wicket-keeper Mark Wallace, the former chairman of the PCA. The four are organising a major dinner at the SSE Swalec Stadium on December 8, with former England spinner and national selector Geoff Miller speaking free of charge. The PCA has already started to help Derrick. "John has been my coach since I was ten. He was a bit of father figure throughout my career," said Powell. "If it wasn't for John I would definitely not have played first-class cricket, so I owe my career to him. "We said that we would raise as much our end to marry up with what the PCA Benevolent Fund was doing. We got our heads together and decided to do a dinner for John." Derrick played for Glamorgan from 1983 to 1991 and coached them to National League titles in 2002 and 2004. He is currently performance manager of the Cricket Board of Wales and has continued to play at club level, but was taken ill in August 2016. He did stints on BBC Wales commentaries earlier in the summer. A JustGiving page has also been set up so that those who cannot attend the dinner can donate. "It's been very humbling to see Welsh cricket pulling in tight when we have needed it" added Powell. "Cricket clubs around Glamorgan have been phenomenal. A lot of them have taken a table at the dinner, which shows how much John is loved in this part of the world." About 45 of the 297 pupils and four teachers at Holy Family Primary School have been struck down by the virus, which can cause diarrhoea and vomiting. Head teacher Karen Bathe said the decision to close had "not been taken lightly" but they had to "contain the outbreak as much as possible". The school is due to reopen on Monday following a "thorough deep clean of the premises". "This morning, there were a greater-than-normal number of children poorly and, as the morning progressed, more and more children were being ill and having to be sent home," said Ms Bathe. "Closing a school is a very important decision, however I feel, after advice from Environmental Health, that this warrants it." Gastroenteritis is highly contagious and can be transmitted through contact with an infected person or contaminated food and drink. Symptoms can include vomiting, fever and stomach ache. Shanay Walker's aunt and grandmother were jailed for child cruelty in 2015. Coroner Mairin Casey told Nottingham Coroner's Court "information was withheld" months before she died. It is thought at least 10 safeguarding referrals were made about Shanay. A post-mortem report showed she had more than 50 injuries to her body. Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire Mrs Casey said: "There is evidence that information was withheld from the local authority in the months before she died. "Communication channels failed miserably between the school, local authority and health professionals." Dr Emma Fillmore, a consultant paediatrician told the inquest she had no contact with the seven-year-old, but gave an overview of the case. She said, given the evidence of her injuries, all the professionals involved should have met to discuss it and that such a meeting would happen now. Lisa Hyland, of Southglade Primary School, said she had suspicions someone was "deliberately causing injuries" to Shanay, the inquest had heard. The assistant head teacher, who taught Shanay a year before her death, said she reported her concerns on six occasions. A trial at Nottingham Crown Court heard Shanay was placed in her aunt Kay-Ann Morris's care after her mother, Leanne Walker, suffered post-natal depression. Shanay died of a brain injury at a house in Nottingham while in the care of Morris in July 2014. Morris, of Beckhampton Road, was cleared of murder but both she and grandmother Juanila Smikle were convicted of "about the worst case" of child cruelty. Morris was jailed for eight years. Smikle, of Easegill Court, was found guilty of cruelty at a retrial and was sentenced to seven years in prison. The inquest continues. Google Maps now refers to the reef by its international name, Scarborough Shoal. Previously, the area was also named as part of the Zhongsha Islands. Both China and the Philippines claim the shoal and its rich fishing grounds. The Philippines has filed a case against China's claims at a UN tribunal - but Beijing has refused to take part. Google Maps removed the Chinese name from the reef following an online petition that said the name gave credence to China's claims to the shoal, known as Huangyan Island by China and Panatag Shoal by the Philippines. Scarborough Shoal was the scene of a tense stand-off between the Philippines and China in early 2012, when vessels from the two countries refused to leave the area for a number of weeks. "We understand that geographic names can raise deep emotions which is why we worked quickly once this was brought to our attention," Google said in a statement emailed to the BBC. Google's policy on disputed regions say that it considers "guidance from authoritative references, local laws and local market expectations", and strives to include "all points of view where there are conflicting claims". China claims ownership of large parts of the South China Sea, including the Scarborough Shoal, which lie a little more than 100 miles (160km) from the Philippines and 500 miles from China, and the Spratly Islands. Last week, a United Nations tribunal in the Hague began deliberations on whether it can hear a legal challenge over territorial claims in the South China Sea. The Philippines filed the case at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in 2013, but China has refused to take part in the proceedings. Even if the Philippines is successful in its attempts to pursue China at the UN tribunal, China would not be obliged to abide by the ruling. Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said on Tuesday that China "will never accept the unilateral attempts to turn to a third party to solve the disputes", and urged the Philippines to negotiate with China directly. Aside from the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan also have competing claims with China over various islands, reefs and shoals in the region. The Department of Commerce said it will impose tariffs of between 14.78% to 15.97% on Chinese firms. This compares with an earlier level of between 2.9% and 4.73% it announced in March. China has criticised the move saying it will hurt trade relations and will provoke trade friction. "The US is provoking trade friction in the new energy sector, and sending a negative signal to the world that stirs global trade protectionism and obstructs the sector's development," Shen Danyang, spokesman for China's Commerce Ministry was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency. The export of solar cells and solar panels has been a contentious issue between the US and China. The US-based manufacturers of these products have alleged that government subsidies provided to Chinese firms have helped them cut their prices and flood the market with cheap products. In its latest report, the Department of Commerce concluded that Chinese firms were selling products in the US at rates below fair value, a practice know as "dumping". It said it would levy anti-dumping duties against these firms. However, the department added that it would issue the orders for the anti-subsidy tariffs and anti-dumping duties once the US International Trade Commission (ITC) affirmed that these practices were hurting US firms. The ITC is expected to announce its decision on the matter by 23 November. Timothy Brightbill, a legal representative for SolarWorld Industries Americas, one of the firms that has been the most vocal opponent of Chinese companies, said it would keep up the pressure on authorities to implement strict measures. "In our view, all Chinese cells and all Chinese modules are dumped and subsidised," he said.

The university said it intended to close its final salary pension scheme because of a rising deficit and would offer an alternative. Union Unison said the move, affecting professional services and other support staff, was "without justification". Voting is expected to take place next month. The union said closure of the current scheme would "create a two-tier system, with lecturers remaining on a more lucrative pension" while support and other staff faced "a reduction in their final pension payments". Leonie Sharp, from Unison, said the university had seen "a growth in income of £4.2m during the last financial period with a drop in staffing costs of £900,000". "The university is trying to argue they can't afford the pension scheme, but they clearly can. "What they are doing is totally unfair, unreasonable and unacceptable and we will take what action is necessary to make them reconsider their decision. "It is totally unfair to slash the benefits of hard working support staff. Reducing the pensions on which they rely for a reasonable retirement, and which they have all paid into in good faith, is a direct attack on our members and they are very angry." In a statement, the university said it had made "significant improvements" to its original proposal after a staff consultation. It also said the pensions of retired workers would not be affected by the changes. Media playback is not supported on this device The 29-year-old hopes to win another gold medal, which would make her Britain's most successful female Olympic sailor. Mills won gold in Rio and silver in London alongside partner Saskia Clark in the 470 dinghy. With Clark retiring after Rio, Wales' Mills has decided it's time to take on a new class - the 49er FX. "The FX to me just presents such a new and exciting shift. Every day I go sailing I'm scared, I'm excited, I'm laughing so much," said Mills. "For me it was about finding the love of sailing again. It's an amazing sport, I love the 470 and the racing is awesome," she added. "But having done something for ten years, at some point in time I think you have to step away. And I didn't want to step away and not sail." The 49er FX is the new Olympic skiff and made its Games debut in Rio. "It's a big challenge, that's for sure. I'm not deluded that I'm going to step into the FX and everything will be rosy. But I think that challenge is really positive for me," she said. "Obviously it is all about winning a gold medal in Tokyo and I have to be realistic if that's in an FX or a 470. "To me right now I'm fully committed to the FX and I'm going to be giving that as good a shot as I can." Zuhair Kutbi's lawyer and son said half the sentence was suspended, but that he was also banned from writing for 15 years and travelling abroad for five, and fined $26,600 (£17,900). It is not clear on what charges Mr Kutbi was found guilty. He is believed to have been detained in July after saying Saudi Arabia should become a constitutional monarchy on TV. The 62-year-old is the latest in a string of human rights activists, reformists, journalists, and dissidents to have been jailed in the Gulf state. Before Monday, Mr Kutbi had been sentenced to months in prison and fined at least three times since the 1990s for calling for reforms and criticising prison conditions in Saudi Arabia, according to Amnesty International. He had also reportedly been made to sign a pledge not to discuss public issues with the written or broadcast media, or on his social media accounts. However, during an appearance on the satellite TV channel Rotana Khaleejia on 22 June, Mr Kutbi spoke about "what he regarded as necessary reforms in Saudi Arabia, including transforming the country into a constitutional monarchy and combating religious and political repression", Human Rights Watch said. The comments attracted considerable attention on social media, and on 15 July security officers arrested Mr Kutbi at his home in the city of Mecca. On 10 August, HRW said Mr Kutbi was being held without charge, but that investigators had suggested to members of his family that he might face trial for inciting public opinion, insulting the judiciary, or offending symbols of the state. Mr Kutbi's lawyer, Ibrahim al-Midaymiq, and his son Jameel confirmed his latest prison sentence in separate posts on Twitter on Monday, but gave no other details. The claim: A million people used food banks last year - up from 40,000 in 2010. Reality Check verdict: More than a million food packages were handed out last year by the Trussell Trust, to a little over half a million people. This is significantly higher than in 2010. We don't know how much of this increase is down to an increase in demand and how much is because of new food banks opening in areas where people were already in need. But that's not quite right. There were more than a million emergency food packages handed out in the last financial year. However, as we've pointed out before, this doesn't mean a million people accessed a food bank. The main provider of food banks across the UK, the Trussell Trust, said it handed out 1.1 million emergency three-day food supplies in 2015-16, 2% more than in the previous financial year. The network of food banks counts the number of vouchers it collects and one person can receive more than one voucher in the course of a year. The charity says the average person using its food banks needs two vouchers a year. Based on this, we can estimate that there were a little over half a million unique users last year. For comparison, 40,898 food packages were handed out in the financial year 2009-10, which seems to be the 40,000 figure to which Mr Corbyn refers. In his question, Mr Corbyn also said: "This week, an Oxford University study found that there is a direct link between rising levels of benefit sanctions and rising demand for food banks." The report found the Trussell Trust's network of food banks experienced a spike in numbers after 2013, when more than one million sanctions were applied following changes to the administration of Jobseeker's Allowance. Between the financial years 2013-14 and 2014-15, foodbank use rose by 19%. Researchers found that, on average, for every 10 additional sanctions applied in each quarter of the year, five more adults would be referred to food banks in the area. As sanctioning decreased, food bank use also decreased. There are no official government figures on food bank use. In 2013 the then Minister for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, David Heath, said: "The government does not believe it is possible to keep a record of the number of food banks, nor the potential number of people using them or other types of food aid, without placing unnecessary burdens on volunteers trying to help their communities." While the Trussell Trust runs the country's largest network of food banks and is our best source of data, more people may access food donations on an informal level through other charities, churches and drop-in centres. This means we can't be sure exactly how many people rely on food aid. There has also been a sharp rise in the number of food banks operating since 2010, so we can't necessarily tell whether all of the rise in food bank use is down to growing demand - some of it might be existing demand that previously went unmet. Trussell Trust data shows the most common reason for people having to access food banks was benefits delays (which includes sanctions) in 28% of cases, followed by low income (23%) and benefits changes (14%). We know this because people using food banks run by the Trussell Trust have to be referred by a professional such as a doctor, social worker or Jobcentre worker, and these professionals have to tick a box stating the reason this service is needed. The prevalence of people accessing food banks after benefit delays chimes with the University of Oxford's research. Researcher Dr Rachel Loopstra said: "These findings show clear evidence of sanctions being linked to economic hardship and hunger." Becoming unemployed, homeless, sick or experiencing domestic abuse were other common reasons for people accessing food banks. Others used the services during children's school holidays to cover the period when they would not be receiving free school meals. Here we take a closer look at the impeachment proceedings and how we got here. Simply put, Ms Rousseff was accused of breaking fiscal laws. She was found guilty of moving funds between government budgets, which is illegal under Brazilian law. Her critics said she was trying to plug deficit holes in popular social programmes to boost her chances of being re-elected for a second term in October 2014. Ms Rousseff denied having done anything illegal and said that moving money between budgets was common practice among her predecessors in office. Ms Rousseff alleged that the impeachment proceedings were tantamount to a coup d'etat against her. She said the proceedings were being used by her enemies to remove her from office without having to wait for the next presidential election. Her main rival and a driving force behind the impeachment was the former speaker of the house, Eduardo Cunha. Mr Cunha's opponents said he was a political opportunist who had switched sides to increase his influence and that of his PMDB party. To back up their claim, they pointed to the fact that the PMDB stood to win from the suspension of Ms Rousseff. Under Brazil's constitution, the vice-president takes over on an interim basis if the president is suspended from office. That is how the PMDB's Michel Temer went from being Ms Rousseff's vice-president to inaugurating the Olympic Games as Brazil's acting president. However, things did not work out smoothly for Mr Cunha either. He had to resign in July over corruption allegations, which he denies. Ms Rousseff's approval ratings have plummeted from their all-time high of 79% in March 2013 to about 10% in March 2016. There were mass demonstrations in major Brazilian cities demanding that she resign. But there were also smaller rallies in her support. Many Brazilians said they were fed up with the high levels of corruption in Brazilian politics. But with some of the politicians who backed her impeachment also under investigation for either mismanagement or corruption, no party seems untouched by the allegations. The lower house of Congress voted on 17 April on whether impeachment proceedings against Ms Rousseff should go ahead. In a late-night session, 367 out of 513 lawmakers voted in favour, comfortably reaching the two-thirds threshold needed for the matter to be passed to the Senate. A vote in the Senate followed in May, in which 55 senators voted in favour of the impeachment process going ahead and 22 against. Another vote was held in the Senate in August which the senators decided by 59 to 21 votes that there was enough evidence against Ms Rousseff to proceed to the trial phase. On 31 August, the Senate voted 61 to 20 in favour of Ms Rousseff's impeachment. Michel Temer, who served as Ms Rousseff's vice-president and who has been the acting president since her suspension in May, will be officially sworn in as president later on Wednesday. He will serve out Ms Rousseff's term in office, which is due to end on 1 January 2019. Savioke's work may be under wraps, but it has announced plans to begin customer trials of a service industry-targeted machine this year. Google has acquired eight other robotics companies outright over the past year. Its latest investment may be relatively small but experts say that it should boost confidence in the sector. Savioke has disclosed a total $2m (£1.2m) of seed finance, which includes cash from other sources in addition to an undisclosed sum from Google Ventures, the search giant's investment arm. Savioke was only established last year. However, its chief executive, Steve Cousins, has previous experience in the sector, having launched the PR2 robot - a machine targeted at robotics software developers wishing to try out their code. "We have decided that it is time for robots to become available widely in the service industry," Mr Cousins told the BBC. "We're not ready to quite disclose what we are going to be doing, but we believe the technology is ripe and this industry is largely untapped. "There's a few examples of robots in hospitals that are extensions of a surgeon, but what we are looking at is a little bit more what people traditionally think of as robots - autonomous entities that can do things on their own and can help people out." Although he declined to say which sectors would be targeted, his company's website lists hotels, elderly care facilities, hospitals and restaurants as possibilities. Mr Cousins was keen to stress that the deal involved Google Ventures - a unit that operates independently of the rest of the California-based company and whose stated goal is to fund the "best companies" rather than ones that are strategic to Google's other operations. However, GV's previous stake in Nest ultimately resulted in Google paying $3.2bn to add the smart thermostat-maker to its main business, and Mr Cousins did not rule out the possibility of his company following a similar path. "In the end, what we want to see is robots out in the world helping people," he said. "So, whatever 'exit strategy' leads us to that goal is what we are all about." Google's interest in robotics was preceded by that of Amazon. The web retailer paid $775m in 2012 to buy Kiva Systems, a company specialising in robots used to move goods in warehouses. Venture capitalists said the two big companies actions' were now fuelling interest from others. "One of the big questions when you do a robotics deal had always been who is going to buy it if this thing doesn't go public," said tech investor Paul Kedrosky. "It was never obvious. Now that Amazon and Google have self-identified as acquirers, it makes doing robotics deals pretty exciting." Mike Maples, co-founder of Floodgate Ventures, agreed the sector had become more attractive. "In the last few years, it has become clear that the computer industry is no longer primarily about computers - whether it's post-PC devices, internet of things, self-driving cars, wearables or robots - an entirely new digital industry is emerging where computers fade into the background but digital is everywhere," he said. "Google's move into robotics will make it even more attractive to start-up investors because it accelerates the creation of a new category of opportunities." British engineering company Dyson recently announced that it was investing £5m in a robotics lab at Imperial College London. One roboticist said he expected more deals would follow. "It's pretty clear that with an ageing population there is a fantastic business opportunity for creating technology that is not only going to improve people's quality of life but also extend their working lives," said Prof Chris Melhuish, director of Bristol Robotics Laboratory. Police have revealed more details of the incident as they continue the hunt for the attacker who struck in the early hours of Sunday morning. Det Insp Scott Young said the assault had lasted "several minutes" and had been a "horrendous attack". He said extra patrols were under way in the area in order to provide reassurance to the public. "At about one o'clock on Sunday morning the victim was returning from an evening socialising with friends in Dumfries town centre," he said. "As he approached the area of Millburn Avenue and Brooms Road an unidentified offender has approached him, presented a weapon and taken him to a secluded area out of public view. "He has then been subjected to a terrifying attack and was raped." The attacker headed off in the direction of the nearby Morrisons supermarket after the assault. Police have described him as about 6ft 1in tall and of stocky, muscular build. He was wearing dark clothing and possibly had a foreign accent. "Extensive inquiries are under way, specialist officers have been deployed to conduct the investigation and provide support to the victim," said the senior investigating officer. "I would also like to take this opportunity to reassure members of the community that this is a highly unusual crime to happen in Dumfries. "We have increased patrols in the area to provide that community reassurance and keep people safe." Anyone with information about the incident or who was in the area at the time has been asked to contact the police. The 11-year-old son of Montjeu won 14 of his 26 starts for Aidan O'Brien including the Irish Derby (2009) and the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2011). He was retired to Coolmore Stud at the end of the 2012 season. "Fame And Glory sadly passed away this morning after suffering a suspected heart attack when covering a mare," said Coolmore on Twitter. The 75-year-old singer was named the shock winner of the prize last week. But all efforts by the Swedish Academy to contact him have failed, and he has not acknowledged the win in public. Academy member Per Wastberg told Swedish television: "He is who he is," adding that there was little surprise Dylan had ignored the news. "We were aware that he can be difficult and that he does not like appearances when he stands alone on the stage," he told Sweden's Dagens Nyheter newspaper in a separate interview. A reference to the prize was removed from Dylan's website last week. It is still not known if he will travel to Stockholm to receive the prize on 10 December. If he does not, a ceremony marking his career will go ahead as planned, Mr Wastberg said. Mr Wastberg called the snub "unprecedented", but one person has previously rejected the Nobel Prize in Literature - French author and philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre in 1964. And one other recipient was distinctly underwhelmed by the honour conferred upon her by the Swedish Academy. On learning she had won the prize in 2007, having returned from doing her shopping, the author Doris Lessing responded: "Oh Christ." However, she did attend the ceremony later that year. The deaths bring the number killed to five following a second day of violence. Security forces in Gabon have arrested more than 1,000 people since the presidential vote. Protests began after Wednesday's announcement that President Ali Bongo had narrowly been re-elected. Africa Live: More on this and other African news stories You never get a 98% or 99% turnout in an honest election. You just don't. Voting is compulsory in Gabon, but it is not enforced; even in Australia where it is enforced, where you can vote by post or online and can be fined for not voting, turnout only reaches 90-95%. The main reason that a full turnout is practically impossible is that electoral registers, even if they are recently compiled, can rarely be 100% up-to-date. Even if no-one gets sick or has to travel, people still die. And when a register is updated, new voters are keen to add themselves to the list. No-one, however, has any great enthusiasm for removing the names of those who have died, and over time the number of these non-existent voters increases. How to spot signs of possible election rigging The UN, which has expressed "deep concern" over the escalation of violence, joined the US and former colonial power France in calls for restraint and greater transparency about the election results. "I know who has won and who has lost," Mr Bongo told local media. "Who has won? 1.8m Gabonese with whom we will progress together. Who has lost? A small group which had the objective of taking power to use Gabon instead of serving it." Interior Minister Pacome Moubelet Boubeya said on Thursday that 800 people had been arrested in Libreville and 400 in other areas of the country. Thursday saw a second day of rioting, with police using tear gas to prevent crowds gathering at the national assembly building which was earlier set on fire by protesters. Meanwhile, President Bongo's rival Jean Ping told the BBC that a presidential guard helicopter had bombed his headquarters and killed two people. He has gone into hiding and is said to be safe. The official election result from Saturday's election gave Mr Bongo a second seven-year term with 49.8% of the vote to Mr Ping's 48.2% - a margin of 5,594 votes. But Mr Ping said the vote was fraudulent. He cited the result in Mr Bongo's home province of Haut-Ogooue, where turnout was 99.93% and 95% of votes were for the president. Mr Bongo took office in 2009 after an election marred by violence, succeeding his father Omar Bongo who had come to power in 1967. Mr Ping had been a close ally of Omar Bongo, serving him in ministerial roles and having two children with his daughter, Pascaline, a former Gabonese foreign minister. The rare case of "penile strangulation" has been reported in the Irish Medical Journal (IMJ). A fire brigade crew used an angle grinder to remove the ring. The crew were called by doctors at the emergency department of the Mater University Hospital in Dublin. The IMJ reported that doctors called fire services after "standard medical equipment" failed to remove the ring. The medical report indicated that the case required urgent treatment to avoid "organ-threatening complications" and restore blood flow. Metal rings can be used to improve sexual performance, the journal noted. It said the man had put on the "titanium-based ring" seven hours beforehand and attended the emergency department after suffering from "pain and swelling". After medical equipment failed to remove the device the man was sedated before the fire brigade used a grinder to remove the ring. The procedure lasted about 20 minutes. The IMJ added that the man has since had a "full functional recovery". Ken Macintosh said he thought Kezia Dugdale - who is 20 years younger than him - was a "lovely person". But he said Ms Dugdale was "just not experienced enough yet" to lead the party. The leadership contest was sparked by the formal resignation of Jim Murphy on Saturday. Mr Murphy had only been in the job since December, but announced he would be standing down in the wake of his party's crushing defeat at the hands of the SNP in May's general election, which left Labour with just one MP in Scotland. Ms Dugdale, 33, had been Mr Murphy's deputy and is widely seen as being the favourite to succeed him. But 53-year-old Mr Macintosh, the party's social justice spokesman who also stood for the leadership in 2011, insisted he was confident of victory in what appears likely to be a two-horse race. He told the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme: "As it happens, I actually think Kezia is a fantastic person, very able, very articulate, a lovely person. "I like her a lot and was one of her big supporters for deputy leader. It's just that she is just not experienced enough yet." Mr Macintosh, who has been an MSP since the Scottish Parliament was reconvened in 1999, said he believed his campaign would be bolstered by the move to one member, one vote, and that he would not be standing if he did not think he could win. And he dismissed suggestions that his politics are too close to Mr Murphy's, who represented the East Renfrewshire seat at Westminster - which has the same boundaries as Mr Macintosh's Eastwood seat at Holyrood - until losing it to the SNP in May. He said: "The reason that Jim and I worked so closely together is that actually we were opposites, we were sort of Yin and Yang as it were. "My kind of politics is entirely different. I have got no interest in Westminster and never have done. I'm not interested in that kind of power politics whatsoever." Mr Murphy tabled a series of reforms for Scottish Labour ahead of his departure, including the move to one member, one vote which has been interpreted as an attempt to weaken the influence of the unions in Labour's hierarchy. Mr Macintosh said: "Last time (in 2011), I won more than 50% of the members' vote, and if we had had one person, one vote back then I think I would have won." Ms Dugdale was elected as Mr Murphy's deputy in December after four years as an MSP for the Lothians and many more as a party activist and election co-ordinator. Announcing her intention to stand for the leadership last month, she said transforming Scotland's education system to make it fairer for all would be her key priority. She said she wanted to transform Scottish Labour "for the good of my country" and to "find a way of regaining the trust of the people of Scotland." The attack took place during prayers in the Umm al-Qura mosque in west Baghdad, the city's largest Sunni mosque. Officials said parliamentarian Khalid al-Fahdawi was among the dead in the strike, the Associated Press reported. The attack comes towards the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The mosque is the main headquarters of the Sunni Endowment, which is responsible for maintaining Sunni Muslim religious sites across Baghdad. "A suicide bomber entered the main area of the mosque and blew himself up," said Qutaiba al-Falahi, a spokesman for the group, according to Reuters news agency. No group immediately claimed responsibility for Sunday's bombing. There has been a recent flurry of violence across Iraq, although it is much reduced since a peak in 2006-2007. On Friday at least 13 people were killed in a series of attacks across the country - in Basra, Falluja and Baghdad. He had just been elected to the board at Samsung Electronics, and one of the few images we could trace showed him as a younger man, smiling, with a name badge clipped to a preppy lilac V-neck sweater. There are no shortages of pictures now, but smiles and upbeat knitwear are in limited supply. In one striking image, he wears handcuffs, flanked by police. That is because, while six months ago the biggest charge against Mr Lee was that he had climbed the Samsung ranks because of who he was rather than his abilities, the accusations he faces now are far more serious. The 48-year-old, also known as Jay Y Lee, is the son of Lee Kun-hee, chairman of Samsung Group, Korea's largest conglomerate. He is also the grandson of Samsung founder Lee Byung-chul. Studying a degree in Seoul before completing a doctorate at Harvard Business School, he has been groomed to take over the firm. He became a Samsung president in 2009 and in 2013 was made vice-chairman of Samsung Electronics, the division which makes gadgets from smartphones and televisions to cameras and hard drives. But since Mr Lee's father suffered a heart attack in 2014, he has been considered de facto boss of the entire Samsung group. Forbes ranks the divorced father-of-two as the 40th most powerful person in the world, with a net worth of almost $6bn (£4.9bn). In February 2017, Lee Jae-yong was arrested and then charged over his alleged role in a political and corporate scandal, linked to South Korea's impeached president, Park Geun-hye. He is is the most high-profile figure arrested in the investigation. Charges against Mr Lee - who denies wrongdoing - include bribery, embezzlement, hiding assets overseas and perjury. Samsung is accused of paying 43bn won ($36.4m; £30.3m) to two non-profit foundations operated by Choi Soon-sil, a friend of Ms Park, in exchange for political support. Those favours are alleged to include backing for a controversial Samsung merger which paved the way for Mr Lee to become eventual head of the conglomerate, a deal that needed support from the national pension fund. At a parliamentary hearing in December last year, Mr Lee admitted making donations but denied Samsung wanted anything in return. It is a stance the company has since repeated. He also confirmed the firm separately gave a horse and several million dollars to help the equestrian career of Ms Choi's daughter. Mr Lee is being charged along with four other Samsung executives - three of who have since resigned. If convicted he could face up to 20 years in prison. Samsung is hugely important to the South Korean economy, with sales equivalent to about a fifth of the country's GDP. It is what is known in a chaebol, a term specific to the country which refers to large family-owned conglomerates that typically have global operations. Others include LG, Lotte and Hyundai. Experts on these family businesses say Samsung's top boss has traditionally played a passive role in day-to-day operations. Given Mr Lee was only recently elevated to the group's board, his arrest and subsequent court case should have limited impact on business decisions made at the firm. But it will do nothing for the company's reputation, already smarting from the botched recall, re-release and eventual scrapping of its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note 7. Karine Charbonnier-Beck was hailed as a bold speaker of truth to power for her appearance three weeks ago on the TF1 programme Face aux Francais (Face to Face with the French), in which the president was questioned by members of the public. Her frank denunciation of the government's business policies, and refusal to be impressed by President Hollande's attempts to explain, made an instant hit. After being inundated with mostly complimentary tweets and emails from across the country, she has now been offered a regular slot on one of France's leading radio chat-shows. "I thought it was important to tell the president exactly what we have to go through as small business-owners," she says in an interview at the Beck Industries factory in Armentieres, on the Belgian border. "When French people think about business, they automatically imagine rich tycoons and the CEOs of massive multinationals. "They don't realise that most of the work is done at a much more humble level. After the broadcast I got so many messages from viewers saying how refreshing it was to hear things from a different angle." In the television programme, Ms Charbonnier-Beck upbraided the president for failing to understand the reality of running a business. She said that by simply moving a few kilometres across the frontier into Belgium, she could save Beck Industries €3m ($3.7m/£2.3m) in taxes and charges every year. Her staff would also earn more because of lower payroll taxes. Ms Charbonnier-Beck said that President Hollande had failed to live up to his promise to simplify red tape. In fact, she said, there had been a process of "complexification"; and she urged a reform of the trade union system which, in its current form, hindered industrial relations. As for the president's responses, she says she was distinctly unimpressed. "I imagined that he would have come prepared for the event and used the section with me to announce some new initiative on business. But there was nothing of the kind. "I didn't have the feeling he was listening to anything I said. The answers had nothing to do with my questions. It is impossible to know what the president really thinks about anything. He says whatever he thinks the people he is with will want to hear." Ms Charbonnier-Beck is the fourth generation of her family to run Beck Industries, which was set up in 1919 in a town destroyed in World War One. Armentieres, which lies a little south of Ypres, was on the frontline for four years. After meeting at one of France's top business schools HEC, she and her husband Hugues began at the company 20 years ago. Ten years ago they took over the reins from Karine's father. "After HEC we had the chance to go to the US. There was a choice: Harvard or Armentieres. Naturally we chose Armentieres," laughs Ms Charbonnier-Beck. With its crumbling industrial heritage and surrounding fields of Brussels sprouts, Armentieres may not be the most picturesque of locations. But it has provided a solid base for the business. Today the company owns factories at Aberdeen and Wolverhampton in the UK, as well as in Belgium and Germany. The factories all make heavy bolts and fastenings for use in the oil, gas and nuclear power industries. Overall Beck employs some 700 people. "We have been very impressed by the British approach to business. It is so very different from the French way," says Hugues Charbonnier. "In France we are very good at mastering a core of competences and really excelling at them. But in the UK there is always the desire to move on, to try something new. Probably the perfect world would involve a synthesis of the two approaches." Karine says that she and her husband are very proud of what they have achieved. "We know we are a very good company," she says. "But we need to invest if we are to stay ahead of the competition. And the only way we can do that is if we start making more profits. That means there have to be lower charges." And has taking on the president had any effect? Has the publicity gone to her head? "Not a bit of it. I have started turning down requests for interviews and the radio appearance will only be one evening every couple of weeks," she says. "It is important to get our message across. But work comes first." The 20-year-old, who will be competing in this weekend's London Marathon, is studying for a law degree at Teesside University but she is also one of the country's leading T54 wheelchair racers, with Commonwealth and European medals to her name already. And she is learning from the best, with 11-time Paralympic champion Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson and her husband Ian overseeing her career. I race everything from 100m right up to the marathon. Wheelchair racing is a lot like cycling - you need to have good endurance to do those longer distances but if there are 10 women in contention coming into the final straight of a 5,000m race, then you need that sprint finish as well. I train twice a day, six days a week with a lot of interval training to build my top-end speed and then longer-distance pushes in order to gain that endurance. I started racing because I enjoyed it. I only thought about the competitive element later on. Nowadays, if I don't want to train, I just think about what my rivals are doing. They will be out there working hard and if I'm not, I will be a day down on them and it helps push me on. Tanni and Ian have got the most incredible experience to pass on to me. I'm so lucky to have them as role models and to teach me everything they know, as well as helping me to pursue my academic career plus my training. Teesside University have been helpful in allowing me to study part-time so I can fit that around training. You need to have a good support network around you. If you have that, then you are in a good position. I really enjoy the sport I do, I have clear goals, and I know where I want to be and what I want to do. I am lucky because a lot of people don't have that - so it doesn't seem as harsh going out with friends and things like that. Choose a sport you love and have good time management! It is about being motivated and being a bit strict on yourself and allowing yourself that time to go out and do exercise. You also need targets because if you don't have them, you won't do the work needed - you aren't going to go running in the morning if you haven't got a race to run in the future. It makes a massive difference when you know where you want to be and know all the steps needed to get there. Tanni, Ian and I set targets for each year and I know all the different things I need to go and reach those targets. If I don't reach a target then I can re-evaluate and see why it didn't happen and if I do achieve it then we have to increase them next time. Body Positive is about being ok with the way you look. As someone who is disabled, there is a lot of stigma around disability and people with disabilities being sad and needing help doing everything, but that is not the case. Just because you have a disability, or maybe weight 10lb more than you want to - you don't have to be the prettiest person, you just have to be you. I want to encourage people to get into sport at any level. Sport is such a powerful tool, not just in terms of health, it is also a great way to meet people and in turn it makes you more positive about yourself. Sport has changed my life - without it I wouldn't have the opportunities to travel to the places or meet the people I have and I know it can do that for a lot of people.

The No Surrender Parent Club marched around the war memorial in the city before attending a service in St Columb's Church of Ireland Cathedral. The march is held separately from the main St Patrick's Day parade in Derry. A club spokesperson said it was a "possibility" that they could join the main event in future years, and said they would "consider" any invitation. The Apprentice Boys of Derry is an organisation set up to commemorate the Siege of Derry in August 1689. It is named in memory of 13 young apprentices - supporters of the Protestant King William III - who closed the gates of the walled city to stop the advancing army of the Catholic King James II. The club decided to march this year after the success of their demonstration 12 months ago which marked their 150th anniversary. After the parade, club spokesman Gordon Porter said: "St Patrick's Day, as you know, throughout the world is a celebration of the whole of Ireland. "A major part of that story is the siege of Derry, which is what the association of the Apprentice Boys is all about, so it's only right that we are parading today. "We can tell our story once again within the city of Londonderry, and it only bodes well for the city that two cultures can walk along beside each other." When asked if the Apprentice Boys would join the main parade at any point in the future, Mr Porter said: "Possibly, in the future, there could be a situation where that might happen. If we get the invite, we'll take it on merit and we'll certainly look into that. "At the minute we're quite happy to do this by ourselves but in the future it is a possibility," he added. The 27 governments - collectively called the Council - wanted to limit the pay rise to 1.85% because of tough economic conditions in Europe. The European Court of Justice says the Council "exceeded its powers" when it decided on the 1.85% figure. The court case, affecting about 45,000 EU staff, began in January. "The articles of the [Council] regulation that fix new amounts for salaries are annulled," the court ruling said on Wednesday. Under the rules, staff salary adjustments take effect on 1 July, so the pay increase will have to be backdated. The move will still require a new Council regulation in line with the court ruling. The green light for the higher EU pay rise comes as national civil services are shedding jobs and freezing or cutting staff pay. The pay settlement for 2009-2010 was based on 2008 figures, reflecting economic conditions that were much better at the time. A complicated formula is used, based on civil service pay in eight of the EU's richer countries and on the cost of living in Brussels. The eight reference countries account for 76% of the EU's total GDP. The judges, who are also on the EU payroll, said the Council's only legal option to adjust EU salaries because of an economic downturn was under an exceptional clause in the regulations - but the Council had not taken that route. The Commission would have had to agree to such a move anyway. The Commission - the EU's executive arm - drafts laws and acts as guardian of the treaties. The court, whose rulings are binding on member states, sits in Luxembourg. Basic gross monthly salaries for Commission staff currently range from about 2,600 euros (£2,211) for a secretary to about 18,000 euros (£15,300) for a head of department, and about 20,000 euros for a commissioner. The special Community tax paid by EU staff is generally lower than national rates of income tax for civil servants. EU staff in Brussels and Luxembourg also get a wide range of allowances, including a residence allowance equivalent to 15% of their basic salary. Family-related allowances include a household allowance, a dependant child allowance, an educational allowance and a pre-school allowance. The Commission said it was satisfied with the court's decision, which was in line with the agreed method of salary adjustment. A Commission spokesman, Michael Mann, told the BBC that for 2010-2011 the salary calculation indicated a 2% cut in purchasing power for EU staff in Brussels, to match an equivalent cut in civil servants' salaries in the eight EU reference countries. So to keep pace with the 2.4% inflation rate in Brussels the EU pay increase for 2010-2011 would have to be 0.4%, he said. Since 2004 EU salaries have lost 5.3% of their purchasing power, he said. Wardens said only 29 nests remained at the coastal site at Crimdon, near Hartlepool, with evidence suggesting dogs were let loose over the weekend. Durham Heritage Coast (DHC), which manages the site, described the incident as "heartbreaking". Little terns are among the UK's rarest sea birds and are protected by law. Police are investigating. The site, which is one of 20 in the UK, is protected by fences and is watched over by wardens during the day. A DHC spokeswoman said: "It is with great disappointment we report that Crimdon's little tern colony suffered a serious loss of 50 nests. "With the information we have, it would appear that someone deliberately entered the site with a dog or dogs and devastated virtually every nest. "As a Schedule 1 listed species due to its rarity, this has been very disheartening given all the time and effort put in by staff and volunteers as part of the Little Tern Recovery Project." The site has been targeted by vandals and egg thieves in the past. In June 2013, 50 eggs from 65 nesting pairs were taken. It is believed some eggs were also taken during the weekend incident, but the DHC said most were probably destroyed or eaten by dogs. The spokeswoman added: "This is really heartbreaking. We hope the the remaining nests will survive and those which have lost nests may try again. "The colony had a really bad year in 2015 and we were hopeful that this year would be a good one with all the nice weather we've had. "We'll be reviewing our security at the site, but we are limited by the funding we have." The birds, which arrive in the UK from Africa in April and May, need a mixture of sand and shingle to make their nests. This means they usually choose beach areas susceptible to attack from natural predators like kestrels and sparrow hawks.

Richard Sandon, 52 and an RAF veteran, suffered a broken arm, fractured ribs and bruised kidneys in the attack near the River Nene in Peterborough. Police said he was the victim of an "unprovoked attack", on Friday evening, when the man tripped over his dog's lead. His dog was kicked but not hurt. The attacker was described as a 6ft 2in black man wearing a khaki jacket. Mr Sandon said he had been trying to pull Blue, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, to one side of the towpath to allow the man to pass when he tripped over the lead. He apologised but the man responded by punching him in the face, knocking him out of his scooter, and punching and stamping on him on the ground. He also kicked the dog, police said. Mr Sandon was treated for a broken arm, fractured ribs, bruised kidneys and has various bruises around his face and body and remains in hospital. "I cannot understand what sort of person would attack me and my dog Blue in this way. I am a disabled man who is obviously unable to defend myself," Mr Sandon said. "Blue is deaf and wears a high-visibility coat which states this. Neither of us were a threat to this man." Police described the attack, which happened at about 19:30 GMT near the bridge at Railworld, as "vicious and cowardly". "It was an appalling and unprovoked assault on a victim who couldn't defend himself." Officers are looking for a man described as black, slim, about 6ft 2in (1.88m), in his late 20s or early 30s. He was wearing a khaki jacket, jeans, white boot-type trainers and a peaked black beanie hat with a red, yellow and green band around it. The Colin Bloomfield Melanoma Appeal is raising awareness of skin cancer and is backed by the BBC Radio Derby presenter Colin Bloomfield. The club donated £10 for each of the 1,401 Derby fans who turned out for the match against Norwich on Saturday. The appeal, which was started earlier this year, has already raised more than £30,000. The Rams drew 1-1 with the Canaries at Norwich. BBC Radio Derby launched the appeal to help protect children from skin cancer after Colin's diagnosis with stage four melanoma in 2013. The 33-year-old presenter's openness and optimism as he battles the disease has touched thousands of listeners. The BBC is working with the Derby Telegraph and charity Skcin, which specialises in skin cancer prevention. The driver, 51, is accused of knocking his passengers out with a sleeping drug, then driving to a cemetery where he would rob and abandon them. Two victims subsequently died, Russia's interior ministry said. Gold jewellery, mink fur coats, laptops, mobile phones and bank cards were recovered from the suspect's flat. Police video shows the suspect being arrested and interrogated on a snowy road by armed police. The driver, who is originally from Rostov region in southern Russia, is suspected of involvement in eight robberies in the Moscow region, to a total value of 700,000 roubles (£8,600; $10,800), the ministry said on its website (in Russian). Passengers who got into his vehicle would allegedly be offered a mandarin or a drink that had been spiked beforehand. Unconscious, they would then allegedly be abandoned in a cemetery at Obukhovo, near the town of Noginsk, to the east of the capital. The suspect remains in custody as police continue their investigations, the ministry says. Unlicensed taxis - cars simply flagged down in the street by customers who then negotiate a price - have been a feature of life in urban Russia since Soviet times despite efforts to regulate the market. A member of the public called officers after a number of tents were found on Monday on land off Falkland Road, Chandler's Ford. Police also said a fire was reported to have been started in the area. Three men, aged 19, 20 and 26, and a 17-year-old girl, all from the local area, have been arrested. A police spokeswoman said they had been held on suspicion of sexual offences but would not give any more details. She added it appeared to be an isolated incident. The American holed five birdies to move to eight under, while Canada's Graham DeLaet had an eagle and three birdies in a 68 to reach seven under. Ryan Moore (69) and fellow American Charley Hoffman (67) are at five under. World number one Jordan Spieth improved to two under after a four-under 67, while England's Danny Willett (71) is the best of the Britons on level par. "On this golf course, the leaders start getting four-to-five footers on greens that are a little inconsistent, who knows what's going to happen," said defending champion Spieth. "I really like the position we're in. Obviously the lead would be better but we've got momentum on our side." Haas, the son of nine-time PGA Tour winner Jay Haas, has twice finished in the top 10 this year but is in contention for his first win of 2016. He paid tribute to the influence of his father, who joined him at Innisbrook earlier in the week. "He came up with the swing thought I've had for three days, and I'm leading," said Haas. "Without him coming down, I might not even have made the weekend. It was very valuable. "If it goes south, I can blame him." After a long-running storyline and fevered guessing, Lucy's young brother Bobby was revealed as the killer. The 11-year-old was found by his stepmother, Jane Beale, clutching what appeared to be the weapon used. The first episode of the two-parter reached a peak of 11.9 million viewers. The second episode at 21:30 GMT, which featured the murderer being unmasked, saw a peak of 11.2 million. The first of two episodes on the show's 30th anniversary, in which it was suggested Jane Beale might have been the killer, had an average audience of 10.8 million. But in a flashback episode that followed, which returned to the night 20-year-old Lucy was killed, it revealed Jane had only discovered her stepdaughter's body and that Bobby was the actual killer. An average 10.3 million stayed with soap for the revelation. Standing in the front room of their house and clutching what appeared to be the weapon used in the killing, Bobby told Jane: "Whatever she says, she started it. "She made everyone unhappy." All episodes this week have had live segments, and the residents of Walford will be seen dealing with the news in a fully live episode on Friday. The storyline has been in progress since the body of Lucy, played by Hetti Bywater, was found on Walford Common last April. One of the biggest talking points of the night however, was the return of Ian's mum Kathy Beale, who had been thought to be dead for more than a decade after a car crash in South Africa. Actress Gillian Taylforth, who last appeared in the soap in 2000, was seen surprising her ex Phil Mitchell with the words: "Hello Phil." Many EastEnders fans expressed their shock and confusion at the extreme plot twist on Twitter. Former X Factor winner Sam Bailey tweeted: "WHAT??? Cathy Beale???????" The Sun's Dan Wootton tweeted: "KNEW IT! She's back!" Fan Jess Euston added: "Well the biggest shock in Eastenders was Cathy Beale being alive from the dead & returning! HI CATHY." And Gemma Shannon said: "Did anyone else have the need to Google #KathyBeale just to be sure she is meant to be dead right?" Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins promised her return marked the start of "one of the most earth-shattering storylines the soap has ever seen". "Kathy is part of EastEnders history, mother to Ian and Ben and one of the most important and iconic television characters on British television," he said. "Six months ago, we set ourselves the challenge of bringing Kathy back to the Square in a credible way. And I believe we have succeeded." Kathy appeared in the very first episode of EastEnders on 19 February 1985 as one of the original cast members. Her return was shot live on location to prevent her being seen by too many people before the episode aired. Taylforth, who has appeared in The Bill, Hollyoaks and Footballers Wives since leaving the soap, said: "When Dominic approached me with his plan, I was so shocked I got into my car and burst into tears! "Kathy has always been so close to my heart and it's absolutely wonderful to be returning to the show and reprising the role." Lucy Beale has featured in EastEnders since her birth in 1993 and has been played by several different actresses over the years. The soap previously went live for its 25th anniversary to reveal the killer of Archie Mitchell, played by Larry Lamb. After Archie was murdered on Christmas Day 2009, Stacey Branning was discovered to be the culprit during a live episode in February 2010. Pictures of their bodies have been shown on state TV and police have asked for the public's help to identify them. Malian and international troops stormed the Radisson Blu hotel to free guests and staff being held hostage. Three different Islamist groups have said they carried out the attack. Warning: Pictures of the bodies in the state TV appeal, seen lower down in this article, may be upsetting for some readers. Investigators have yet to determine the number and nationality of the gunmen. However, Islamist group al-Murabitoun, which first claimed responsibility for the attack, has issued a new audio recording identifying the two gunmen, reports say. They were named as Abdel Hakim al-Ansari and Moadh al-Ansari. One security source in Mali earlier told the BBC that officials believed that the two dead gunmen had been speaking English during the attack. The police found a suitcase with grenades in the hotel lobby and were following up "several leads" linked to "objects" left by the gunmen, a Malian police source has told the AFP news agency. Ahead of the three days of national mourning declared by Mali, the chairman of the West African regional bloc Ecowas, Senegal's President Macky Sall, visited Bamako to show support. He said on Sunday: "Mali will never be alone in this fight, we are all committed because we are all involved." Senegal, Mauritania and Guinea are also observing the mourning, which started on Monday. This list has been provided to the BBC by a security source in Mali Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and its affiliate, al-Murabitoun, have both said they were responsible for the attack. The Macina Liberation Front (MLF) which has been blamed for attacks in southern Mali, has also said its fighters carried it out. Security remains tight around major hotels in Bamako. Gunmen entered the hotel on Friday morning, shooting and driving their vehicle through a security barrier, one eyewitness said. Most of the hotel guests and staff were freed hours later when Malian special forces, French special forces and off-duty US servicemen stormed the hotel to end the siege. The MLF is a new jihadist group operating in central and southern Mali. It is led by the radical Muslim cleric Amadou Kouffa, a strong proponent of strict Islamic law in Mali. His group draws most of its support from the Fulani ethnic group, who are found across the Sahel. Mr Kouffa is a close ally of Tuareg jihadist Iyad ag Ghali, who leads the powerful jihadist group Ansar Dine. A Human Rights Watch report said the MLF militants had carried out serious abuses in parts of central Mali since January and killed at least five people they accused of being aligned to the government. The group has attacked police and military particularly in the Mopti region, most recently killing three soldiers in Tenenkou in August. The Malian military recently arrested Alaye Bocari, a man they say was a key MLF financier and Mr Kouffa's right-hand man. Why Mali is an insurgent hotspot Who are al-Murabitoun? Mali: World's most dangerous peacekeeping mission Find out about Mali The Blackpool potter, 20, has won five of his 15 matches so far this season and fallen to 92 in the world rankings. Cahill, who beat Chinese superstar Ding Junhui at the same event in 2014, said his "head was finished with the game". "If I carry on like this I will pack it in at the end of the season," he said. "I have had enough. I am practising and don't want to. It is hard work and I don't know what to say. I am just tired of the game." Cahill said he would not be taking the decision lightly but had been thinking about calling time on his career for a while. He has earned £11,625 in prize money so far this season and says he is fed up of borrowing money to enter tournaments and struggling to make a living. He added to BBC Sport: "I am obviously only at the start of my career, but I feel like I have been playing for ages now. I feel like I am going round in the circles and bashing my head against a wall." The victim, named in reports as 27-year-old Oliver Tetlow, was pronounced dead at the scene of the Harlesden gun attack. Det Ch Insp Mark Lawson said Wednesday night's killing was being investigated as gang-related. He said the victim was shot multiple times and that an automatic weapon appeared to have been used. More on this story and other news from London DCI Lawson said: "At this very early stage in the investigation, we are exploring that the shooting was gang related, however I am satisfied the victim was not the intended target and this was a tragic case of mistaken identity." He added officers were aware details of the murder were "circulating" on social media and called on anyone with information to come forward. The killer is believed to have got out of a dark hatchback car before returning to the vehicle after the shooting. The victim's family has been informed, but formal identification will not take place until after a post-mortem examination. Nick Gibb's comments follow an inquiry into the Standards and Testing Agency ordered after a series of problems and security breaches involving primary tests this year. Claire Burton, the agency's chief executive, accepted the report's criticisms and promised "greater strategic oversight". Primary school tests faced a series of administrative problems this year - including an English test having to be cancelled after questions had been published in advance on a Department for Education website. There were also accusations of a "rogue marker" as Sats test questions were claimed to have been leaked online a day before the test was taken. This confusion had prompted an angry response from teachers' unions, which had warned of a rushed and "chaotic" implementation of changes to primary tests. Ministers had ordered an "urgent review" into the Standards and Testing Agency, part of the Department for Education, which runs primary school tests. The findings, published on Wednesday, concluded that the agency was "broadly fit for purpose". But it highlighted problems, including a "lack of end-to-end strategy", a "defensive" culture and "an ineffective assurance process". The staff of the agency were described as being "under enormous pressure" and "bruised by recent events and morale is low". There is a high rate of vacancies. The report says the agency has an administrative budget of £4m a year and looks after contracts worth £122m. Mr Gibb says the review "identified clear issues around strategic leadership at the agency, poor value for money and a lack of customer focus". "Work is already under way to address those challenges and the STA has assured me it can, and will, make the changes required to prevent similar issues in future." Ms Burton, the agency's chief executive, says: "We fully accept the findings of the review and have already taken steps to respond to the security breaches earlier this year, including restructuring the management team to ensure greater strategic oversight and improving internal processes." You can join the debate at the BBC's Family & Education News Facebook page. The picture of Madame Valentine Clapisson was painted by the great French Impressionist more than 130 years ago. The original's impact has been degraded and dulled by the action of light. But by using the latest analytical tools, conservators have been able to recover a sense of Renoir's rich reds. "When we first brought this picture into the conservation studio for examination and removed the frame, we noticed that at the top and at the left-hand side there was a sliver of very intense colour," recalls Dr Francesca Casadio from The Art Institute of Chicago. "This tipped us off to the fact that the mood of this painting that is now pretty cool and restrained with light purples and blues was once far more vibrant," she told BBC News. Dr Casadio was speaking here at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). She and other specialists in her field have been discussing the technologies they now use to investigate and restore artworks. The visualisation of Madame Clapisson was produced after subjecting tiny samples of paint from the 1883 canvas to a technique known as Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Pigments fade over time as the molecular structures responsible for colour are broken down through exposure to light. SERS enables researchers to pick out even the smallest fragment of intact structure and determine its molecular composition. This was done with tiny samples taken from the newly uncovered edges of the canvas. Dr Casadio's and colleague's investigation showed that the picture we see today has lost the impact of Renoir's use of the carmine lake, or cochineal, pigment. Extracted from the bodies of certain insects, this crimson colour should dominate the scene around Madame Clapisson. "The manuals from the 19th Century were already warning artists that carmine lake was a 'fugitive pigment'; it wasn't a permanent colour. And yet, the artists clearly loved it because they continued to use it over and over again even though they had more stable options available to them," Dr Casadio explained. The study has allowed the conservation scientist to make a compelling computer visualisation of what Renoir originally saw when he stood back after signing his name on the completed canvass. Is it exactly the same? "We can't quite say that," said Dr Casadio, who acknowledges that the mixing of pigments on a palette does not have the certainty of scientific equations. "We can get very close to the tip of the brush of Renoir because we know the exact chemical mixture he used, but then if you and I were to make a cake with the same ingredients it may not taste or look quite the same." Northwestern University chemist Prof Richard Van Duyne pioneered SERS. He said the Renoir demonstrated why the Raman technique was fast becoming an invaluable tool for studying artworks: "You get tremendous information about the origins of the painting, the techniques of the artist, an understanding of the fading mechanism, and the ability to restore the painting." The picture of Valentine Clapisson was actually Pierre-Auguste Renoir's second attempt at capturing a portrait of his subject. Initially, Valentine, the wife of Paris stockbroker Leon Clapisson, was depicted taking tea in a rose garden. But neither the artist nor the client was happy with the outcome and so the subject was moved indoors. An exhibition based on the research opened this week at The Art Institute of Chicago. The original picture is known as "Madame Leon Clapisson", 1883. Oil on canvas, 81.2 × 65.3 cm, Mr and Mrs Martin A Ryerson Collection.

They accused him of being the "boss" of a huge corruption scheme that cost the state oil company, Petrobras, an estimated $12.6bn (£9.5bn) in losses. Prosecutors had been investigating whether Lula and his wife failed to declare ownership of a luxury flat. He has denied owning the penthouse and says the case is politically motivated. A criminal conviction would bar him from running for president in 2018. Lula has called the episode a "deplorable spectacle". He and his wife deny any wrongdoing and say there is no proof for any of the allegations. A judge is due to rule in the next few days whether to formally charge Lula. The flat was built by a construction company implicated in the scandal at Petrobras. Several politicians and Petrobras executives have been arrested and sentenced after a two-year anti-corruption investigation called Operation Car Wash. Prosecutors initially focused on money laundering, but soon came to allegations of a complex corruption scheme at Petrobras, where overpriced contracts were given in return for bribes. Some of the illicitly-obtained money was used to finance the electoral campaign of top Brazilian politicians, they allege. "Lula was the big boss of the Petrobras corruption scheme. Lula was on top of the power pyramid," prosecutor Deltan Dalagnol said at a news conference in Curitiba on Wednesday. "Lula appointed several senior executives at Petrobras so that they could raise funds for political parties in the governing coalition [through corruption]. "Without Lula's decision power, it would be impossible for this scheme to exist," the prosecutor added. Last month, after an interview with the BBC, Lula told us he was feeling encouraged that prosecutors were finally presenting their cases against him. He said would rather respond formally to all accusations than see the daily drip of new accusations being leaked through the press. This case is of major importance for the future of both Lula and his party. Opinion polls suggest Lula is still a political force to be reckoned with and could make a bid for the presidency again. He is most likely the only politician from the Workers' Party with real chances of fighting for the party's project and legacy. But in order for him to stand a chance, he will have to convincingly clear his name from all accusations. A former union leader, Lula, 70, served as president from 2003 to 2010. He announced plans earlier this year to run for office again in 2018 but in July he was indicted on charges of obstructing investigations into Petrobras. The most hated and most loved man in Brazil What has gone wrong in Brazil? His successor as president, Dilma Rousseff, was dismissed by the Senate last month after an impeachment trial. Prosecutors say OAS, a construction company at the centre of the Petrobras affair, bought and refurbished the property for Lula and his wife. The company had earned lucrative contracts during Lula's years in office, and has been linked to kickbacks from Petrobras. But the former president insists he has never owned the property. Six other people are also facing charges, including two executives from OAS. The luxury penthouse in the seaside resort of Guaruja is estimated to be worth up to $550,000 (£415,000).

Federal prosecutors in Brazil have asked a judge to file corruption charges against former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

It called on Houthi rebels to surrender their military gains and everyone to get behind the 2011 Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) initiative and the recently completed draft constitution. Jamal Benomar, the UN special envoy to Yemen, is worried that instead of successfully implementing the GCC initiative, the country might be heading towards civil war. His concerns are valid. But a multi-polar balance of military power and indigenous political mediation might yet forestall widespread violence. Here is a brief synopsis of the GCC initiative. In 2011, there was a mass uprising/camp-out across Yemen. It was mostly peaceful, although more than 50 demonstrators were killed in March, and President Ali Abdullah Saleh himself was seriously injured in an assassination attempt in June. While Mr Saleh was recuperating in Saudi Arabia, leaders of a National Dialogue that had tried to negotiate the impasse between Northern and Southern leaders before the outbreak of a civil war in 1994 re-launched that Dialogue. This project was overtaken by the GCC deal with Mr Saleh, whereby he handed presidential power to his hand-picked Vice-President, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, in exchange for immunity. Mr Saleh also remained the head of the ruling General People's Congress (GPC) party, which in turn retained its parliamentary majority. This deal was signed in Saudi Arabia, with witnesses from the Gulf monarchies but not Yemen's "revolutionary youth". A National Dialogue Conference (NDC) was also convened as part of the deal. It was a very good idea, grounded in Yemeni precedents, and helped tamp down tensions in 2012 and part of 2013. But in the end it did not deliver. Although the NDC involved young and/or female intellectuals and technocrats, most delegates were aging politicians. Working groups tackled a range of issues - from economic development to the Houthi and Southern problems, respectively, although those dissident groups were under-represented in the negotiations. Some working groups made real progress. However, the NDC became a donor-dominated transitology project, envisioned by foreign experts and GCC backers rather than Yemeni activists. Some 560 delegates earned generous per diems to meet in the five-star Moevenpick Hotel in suburban Sanaa, where international consultants' lectures were simultaneously translated into Arabic before everyone enjoyed excellent buffet lunches. The rent-driven conference persisted, irresolutely, well beyond its initial timeline. Ironically, a major outcome - the federalism proposal dividing the country into six administrative regions, as recommended by the World Bank - was not on the agenda, mission statement or committee structure of the NDC. It seemed to be based on the utterly failed federal constitution of Iraq rather than on any on-the-ground demands for local autonomy in Yemen. Accordingly, the draft constitution endorsed by the UN proposed a radical rewriting of a political order heretofore based on 21 governorates. The newly proposed governance model neither addressed the demands of the revolutionary youth nor provided for the decentralised federalism most Yemenis want. For instance, or especially, it remade the House of Representatives, the lower house of parliament, to consist of 260 members elected through a nationwide vote under a closed proportional list system - instead of the 301 district constituency seats in the previous House. Other provisions for electing a new upper house or even the next president and vice-president lack either popular support or genuinely federal logic. Mr Benomar, the GCC, the UN and G-10 hoped to placate Yemenis' aspirations for social justice via managed negotiations among factions of the ancien regime and anti-democratic Gulf monarchies. But anti-systemic movements - the ragtag Houthi militia astonished by the lack of resistance to their advance against the flailing "transitional" regime; the separatist Southern Movement (Hiraak al-Janoubi), also marginalised from the National Dialogue but now taking up arms; fringe Yemeni and foreign Salafist fighters for al-Qaeda; and divisions of what used to be Mr Saleh's security apparatus - are jockeying for power in the new order. Mr Benomar rightfully frets that the collapse of UN-sponsored talks between the Houthis and the main political factions might embolden multiple well-armed forces to resort to military struggle. The GCC initiative to ward off revolutionary democratisation in the Arabian Peninsula via a managed dialogue has already aborted. Clashes between and among rival factions are reported in various locations, including Sanaa and the oil-rich desert governorate of Marib. However these are localised gun battles over particular installations, whether government buildings or oil facilities. Hiraak, certainly, Marib tribes, and even the Houthis are fighting for self-governance and seats at the negotiating table rather than control of the central government. The national army, split since March 2011, has not seriously resisted Houthi advances. The erstwhile President Hadi resigned and moved to Aden rather than battling for control of Sanaa. Brinksmanship might get out of hand, of course, but no one faction can hope to rule the country by force alone, and all remain wary of mayhem. Warfare is diplomacy by other means. There is still a glimmer of hope for genuine multiparty National Dialogue. Dr Sheila Carapico is professor of political science and international studies at the University of Richmond, Virginia Robert Darragh, 21, from Hopewell Crescent in the Shankill area was identified by police after he twice tagged himself as being present during a riot. The serious disorder broke out in the Woodvale/Twaddell area last July. He will spend half his sentence in prison, with the remainder served on licence. Trouble flared following a Parades Commission determination not to allow a loyalist flute band to pass by the nationalist Ardoyne shop fronts area on July 13. A total of 29 police officers were injured during the rioting after police lines were pelted with masonry, bricks, bottles and other items, with one officer almost losing an ear. A prosecution lawyer told Belfast Crown Court that Darragh was captured on CCTV "on numerous occasions" throwing items at police lines. The court heard that during the riot, Darragh covered his face and had his hood up in a bid to disguise his appearance. However, he was pictured sitting on a wall with his face uncovered prior to involving himself in the riot. The crown lawyer said that following the riot, police trawled through social media and discovered that Darragh had tagged himself as the man sitting on the wall, and had again tagged himself as one of the males rioting on the Woodvale Road. He subsequently admitted a single charge of rioting. A defence lawyer said that when questioned by police about his involvement, Darragh made the case that he could not remember as he had been on a three-day binge, and that he had expressed shame for his actions. The lawyer said there was "nothing to suggest any police officer was injured as a result of anything" Darragh did. Steel-coating firm Kancoat was backed despite civil servants warning it had a "weak" business plan and was high risk. The Welsh Government is to drop the term "non-repayable repayable business finance" as part of the call for more clarity in its business support. Eleven changes were proposed in total. The assembly's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said the government "ignored its own due diligence" and "poured good money after bad" into the firm. The Welsh Government has accepted 10 of the 11 recommendations and the remaining one has been accepted "in principle". In response to the PAC report the Welsh Government says it will: It has already published additional guidelines for civil servants on risk assessment and mitigation. The committee cited an Auditor General report which set out that of the £166m Repayable Business Finance made available to businesses between April 2012 and March 2015, £154m (93%) was in fact made available on a non-repayable basis - including £778,000 for Kancoat. Giving evidence during the inquiry, senior civil servant James Price was asked what was meant by the term "non-repayable repayable business finance". He said it was "unfortunate wording" and that he had tried to get it changed on several occasions. "It's actually very simple: repayable business finance is a grant that you have to pay back, typically without interest. Non-repayable repayable business finance is a grant," he said. The government will now rename the Repayable Business Finance Scheme simply the Business Finance Scheme. A Welsh Government spokesman said, "As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we have already implemented a number of key changes to our processes and are reviewing our approach to providing financial support to businesses in Wales. "We remain committed to supporting the growth of the Welsh economy and will continue to build on these improvements in line with the recommendations of the PAC report." India won the final match of the four-Test series to secure a 2-1 victory. Prior to the first Test in Pune, Kohli spoke warmly of the tourists' players, saying he was "really good friends with all these guys off the field". But asked after Tuesday's eight-wicket win in Dharamsala if that was still the case, he said: "No, it has changed. You won't hear me say that ever again." During the series, Kohli - who missed the final Test with injury - said Australia captain Steve Smith "crossed the line" by trying to get help from his dressing room with the decision review system. India were thrashed by 333 runs in the opening Test, but levelled with victory in the second. During that game, Smith was caught looking for assistance as he considered reviewing an lbw decision, which is banned. Smith described his actions as "a bit of brain-fade". Kohli injured his shoulder as he dived to save a boundary during the drawn third Test, and Australian Glenn Maxwell was accused of mocking him later in the match. Without Kohli, India went on to win the fourth Test, during which the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) put a video on its website of a spat between all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and Australia wicketkeeper Matthew Wade. "I have sort of been very intense in my own little bubble, and at times I have let my emotions and actions just falter a little bit throughout this series and I apologise for that," said Smith. "That's a big stride for me moving forward and something I can really learn from and continue to grow as an individual and as a leader." Smith said he was "a bit disappointed" the BCCI had posted the video of Jadeja and Wade. He added: "It happened between both sides throughout the series. I think usually what's said on the field stays on the field." Smoke detectors went off in the toilet and the aircraft's electrics, minutes before the signal was lost, the Aviation Herald had earlier reported. A spokesman for French investigators said it was too early to say what caused the crash. Flight MS804 was en route from Paris to Cairo with 66 people on board. The Aviation Herald said it had received flight data filed through the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) from three independent channels. It said the system showed that at 02:26 local time on Thursday (00:26 GMT) smoke was detected in the Airbus A320 toilet. A minute later - at 00:27 GMT - there was an avionics smoke alert. The last ACARS message was at 00:29 GMT, the air industry website said, and the contact with the plane was lost four minutes later at 02;33 local time. ACARS is used to routinely download flight data to the airline operating the aircraft. Confirming the data, France's Bureau of Investigations and Analysis told AFP it was "far too soon to interpret and understand the cause of the accident as long as we have not found the wreckage or the flight data recorders". Philip Baum, the editor of Aviation Security International Magazine, told the BBC that technical failure could not be ruled out. "There was smoke reported in the aircraft lavatory, then smoke in the avionics bay, and over a period of three minutes the aircraft's systems shut down, so you know, that's starting to indicate that it probably wasn't a hijack, it probably wasn't a struggle in the cockpit, it's more likely a fire on board." This data could be the biggest clue yet as to what happened. It suggests there was a fire at the front of the aircraft, on the right-hand side. The sequence begins with a warning of an overheating window in the cockpit. Smoke is then detected in the lavatory (we assume it's the one behind the cockpit) and in a bay right underneath the cockpit, which is full of electronic equipment. Finally, another window becomes too hot, before all the systems begin collapsing. All of this takes place over a few minutes, then the aircraft drops off the radar. Some pilots have suggested that the 90 degree left turn the plane then made is a known manoeuvre to get out of the way in an emergency, when an aircraft needs to drop height suddenly. The 360 degree turn after that, they say, could be the crew managing a crisis. So it seems that the aircraft caught fire and that the fire spread very quickly. But whether that fire was deliberate or mechanical, we still can't say. Security consultant Sally Leivesley said the timing on the data suggested an "extremely rapidly developing flame front from a fire that has overwhelmed the avionics very, very quickly". She cited the case of "underpants bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who tried to set off an explosive device hidden in his underwear on a Detroit-bound flight in 2009. Although the attempt failed, a fire from the device's chemicals still spread "right up the side of the plane". Greece says radar shows the Airbus A320 making two sharp turns and dropping more than 25,000ft (7,620m) before plunging into the sea. The search is now focused on finding the plane's flight recorders. But aviation expert Geoffrey Thomas warned there might be a "very long search", citing the case of Air France 447. That plane crashed in the Atlantic in 2009 at a similar depth to the area in which the Egyptair jet is thought to have gone done down. It took two years to find the main body of wreckage and the black boxes. Three French air investigators, along with a technical adviser from Airbus, have joined the Egyptian inquiry. The BBC has learned the plane that disappeared was forced to make an emergency landing in 2013 after the pilot noticed the engine overheating, but an official report said the defect had been repaired. In October, an Airbus A321 operated by Russia's Metrojet blew up over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, with all 224 people on board killed. Sinai Province, a local affiliate of the Islamic State jihadist group, said it had smuggled a bomb on board. 66 people on board - 56 passengers, seven crew members and three security personnel 30 Egyptians 15 French citizens 2 Iraqis 1 from Britain, Canada, Belgium, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Sudan, Chad and Portugal The names of some of those who were on board have emerged, but most have not been identified publicly.

The 29-year-old was then beaten by Franck Kessie's late spot-kick as Atalanta fought back to win 2-1. It was their first Serie A victory of the season and Torino's second loss. It was not the beginning to his Serie A career Hart would have wanted after being allowed to leave Etihad Stadium by new City manager Pep Guardiola. His afternoon started badly when Torino got his name wrong on the team sheet. Things picked up when his team went in front through a well-struck Iago Falque free-kick eight minutes into the second half. Up to that point, it had been a virtual watching brief for Hart, bar one smart low block in the first half. But things went downhill just two minutes later when he tried to intercept a corner but failed to reach the ball properly and was left stranded as Masiello made it 1-1. Hart had a chance to make amends when Atalanta were awarded a late penalty, but Kessie sent him the wrong way from the spot to earn the hosts their first points of the season. Hart's City career was ended - for now at least - by Guardiola replacing him for the opening three Premier League games with Willy Caballero before signing of Claudio Bravo from Barcelona. Chile international Bravo made his City debut in Saturday's 2-1 derby win over Manchester United at Old Trafford - but the 33-year-old produced a far from convincing performance. However, Hart was unable to give critics of Guardiola's decision to let him leave further ammunition at the start of his season-long stay in Italy. He, and Torino, will hope things get better, starting with a home fixture against Empoli next Sunday (14:00 BST kick-off). Match ends, Atalanta 2, Torino 1. Second Half ends, Atalanta 2, Torino 1.

Director of rugby Steve Diamond confirmed the Bolton-born prop had agreed a new deal on BBC Radio Manchester's Rugby Union Extra. The 24-year-old has progressed through the Sharks' academy and played for England Saxons in the summer. He has joined Josh Beaumont, Will Addison, Mike Haley and Sam James in signing a new three-year deal. Diamond, 48, also spoke on a number of issues during the hour-long show, including: Sale could look to leave their home at AJ Bell Stadium, where they share with Super League's Salford Red Devils, if the infrastructure around the ground is not improved. The club moved to the stadium in Barton in 2012 after nine years playing at Edgeley Park in Stockport. "If it is not fit for purpose where we want to take the journey then we will have to look at options," said Diamond. "It is a fantastic facility but it is one road in and one out and it is difficult. "We need to come up with plans of how we improve that facility or, when we have a release, which we do in four years' time, we'll move." The Sharks have struggled for form of late with eight defeats in their last 10 games and there could be new additions in 2017 to help the squad. "The targets have been identified," Diamond added. "We are looking at one or two additions to come in in the new year but it is getting the compliance right. "I'm pretty confident of pulling through this period as I've always done. You have your rough times and you knuckle down and get on with it." Growing up in the Gwent Valleys and with a long interest in military history I knew all about the Monmouthshire Regiment. Indeed as a schoolboy cadet I proudly wore its cap-badge. I knew about the enormous sacrifice made in the defence of Ypres, how so few men were left standing two battalions had to be merged into one in the aftermath. I had seen the lists of names on war memorials in places like Tredegar, Newbridge and Abergavenny. And of course there is a well known "Surrender Be Damned" painting at Newport Civic Centre. But I had no idea at all that a member of my family had been involved. And then, last summer, as I was preparing to travel to Flanders for the unveiling of the new Welsh memorial there, came the chat with Aunty Sylvia. "Where are you going?" she asked. "Ypres" I replied. "Oh, my mother's brother was killed there." "Nan's brother?" "Yes, Dick Williams." The story emerged. He and my grandmother were close. He was a miner and a member of the TA. When war broke out his battalion was assembled and he was shipped to France and then Flanders. He died on 8 May 1915, a date which became known as "Gwent's blackest day". So strongly were losses of that day felt in the county that in Abergavenny it was on 8 May not 11 November that the town marked Remembrance Day. My aunt had few details. Her mother my grandmother hardly ever spoke of the brother she lost. Uncle Dick's full name was Richard Charles Williams. He was a 21-year-old miner from Tredegar. He died in Flanders, at a place the family thought was called Hill 60. It was enough to go on. A quick search of the Commonwealth War Graves website gave me the date of his death that put him at Frezenburg not Hill 60. Although he may well have been one of the miners detailed to dig tunnels there in April 1915. The regiment's war diary, which had been fuller of more mundane matters in preceding days, gives a concise and sober note of a devastating day: "Violent bombardment from about 4am-9am and was followed by an attack by the enemy along the whole line." A remark was added: "Battalion lost heavily under shell machine and rifle fire". Of the 83 officers and 1,020 men of the 3rd Mons, only four officers and 131 men were left. The 1st Battalion also lost 439 of its 588 men. The losses were so great the three battalions had to be merged into one afterwards. Like so many others Dick's body was never recovered. He has no known grave. His name is recorded on the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing in Ypres. The town he died defending. A few days later, in Ypres, I found his name on the memorial. Williams RC. Sandwiched between Williams PA and Williams S. I left a small poppy cross there. I may have been in Ypres for work but it had become a personal pilgrimage for me. Probably the first member of our family to pay respects. Certainly not the last. The 50-year-old, who ruptured a disc in her back on Monday, had been the front runner after scoring consistently high marks from the judges. "The absolute destination for me was the journey. The journey was the gift," she said after winning the show. Former child star Kyle Massey was runner-up and politician Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol came third. Grey, who also suffered problems with her neck and knee during the series, said her mind went blank just before the winner was announced. "I was in a surrender moment of whatever happens will be great," the trained dancer said. Palin's appearance seemed to divide audiences, after one angry man blasted his TV set with a shotgun while watching the show last week. Voting problems However, public support kept her in the contest, despite finishing bottom with the judges for more than six weeks. "This has been a life-changing experience," she said. The 20-year-old added she had no expectations about her performance, but admitted that winning would have been like "a big middle finger to all the people out there that hate my mom and hate me". There were some voting problems on the final show after producers said they had received a "record amount of activity", putting its online and telephone voting systems under strain. "Some viewers reported experiencing difficulties registering their votes for the Dancing With The Stars finale, which affected each finalist equally," producers said in a statement. But the issues was dealt with "promptly" and voting times were not extended. The sisters had just left Le Bourget airport in their Bentley on Monday evening when they were forced off the road and sprayed with tear gas. "Everything in the vehicle: jewels, clothes, luggage" was taken, a police source told AFP news agency. A Saudi prince was robbed while passing through the same area two years ago. Le Bourget bills itself as "Europe's premier business airport". A source who spoke to French digital TV station BFMTV said the women's car had been forced to stop near a service station. The section of the motorway where the robbery took place is favoured by criminals targeting luxury cars or wealthy-looking foreigners stuck in traffic jams: Last month, US reality TV star Kim Kardashian was tied up and robbed at gunpoint of jewellery worth up to €6m in a luxury apartment in the heart of Paris. Earlier this month, the French government announced extra funding for the tourist industry, promising to install more surveillance cameras in areas of the capital targeted by robbers. Some 3,500 identically-dressed couples took part in the ceremony in Gapyeong, north-east of the capital, Seoul. A further 24,000 followers - often known as "Moonies" - were also married in other countries via video link. The ceremony was presided over by Hak Ja Han, the widow of Sun Myung Moon, who died in September. An estimated 30,000 people attended the 92-year-old's funeral. Four hundred of the Church's members who were married on Sunday chose to have their partners selected for them by Hak Ja Han, something her late husband also did. "I was pretty nervous," Jin Davidson, a 21-year-old American, told the AFP news agency. "Then all of a sudden she popped up in front of me, and I said OK." Mr Davidson, whose parents were paired off by Mr Moon, said he struggled to communicate with his Japanese bride, Kotona Shimizu, 21. "I speak no Japanese at all, and she only speaks a little English, but we see it as an exciting challenge and proof of our faith," he added. The mass weddings began in the early 1960s and over the years grew in size. In 1997, some 30,000 couples were married in Washington. The Church has been accused of brainwashing its followers. Police said two other men would be arrested "soon". The 21-year-old student had been pursuing a case in court against the five men, when she was attacked and left for dead last week. She said she was forced inside a car and the men tried to strangle her. A passerby later took her to hospital. The woman, who is from a poor low-caste Dalit (formerly known as untouchables) family, was first assaulted in 2013 in Bhiwani town. Her family has alleged that they had moved to Rohtak after they were threatened by the accused who have been out on bail. "I was leaving the college when I saw them. They were the same five men. I was very afraid," the woman told a TV channel. "They forced me inside the car. They tried to strangulate me. They said they would kill my father and brother." Nearly four years ago, a 23-year-old woman was brutally raped by multiple men and murdered on a bus in Delhi, causing global outrage. Tougher laws on sexual violence were introduced the year after, including a new death sentence if a person was convicted of rape a second time. But correspondents in India say questions are being asked about how five men who were accused of a serious sexual crime could have been free to conduct another attack. Ex-Stoke City trainee Dawson, 23, who has also played for Carlisle United, Nuneaton Town and AFC Telford, made 10 appearances over the closing weeks of last season after signing in March. Davies, 21, the elder brother of Everton midfielder Tom Davies, initially signed a six-month deal. But he has had that extended after scoring once in three appearances. Meanwhile, fellow Chester midfielder Evan Horwood, who returned to the club for a second time last August, has now had his contract terminated by mutual agreement with immediate effect. The experienced Horwood, 31, signed a six-month contract extension at the end of last season in May, but he has now been offered a more long-term contract elsewhere. It is expected to "pause" the sale of the main Port Talbot plant, but go ahead with the sale of its speciality business, which employs 2,000 people in Hartlepool, Rotherham and Stocksbridge. Tata is thought to be in less of a hurry to sell because of rising steel prices and signs of government support. Business Secretary Sajid Javid is in Mumbai for talks with the company. During his trip, Mr Javid will also meet Indian government officials in Delhi to discuss how the trading relationship with India might work with the UK outside the European Union. Tata is expected to delay the sale of much of its UK business to consider the options and assess the impact of the UK's vote to leave the European Union. One of the biggest obstacles to the sale of the UK business has been the legacy of the British Steel Pension fund, which Tata inherited when it bought the business in 2007. It has 130,000 members and a deficit of £700m. The government has been trying to help here by consulting on drawing up special legislation to lower pension benefits for many of the 130,000 members of the old British Steel pension fund. It has offered hundreds of millions of pounds worth of loans and the taking of a potential 25% stake in the business. In the meantime, the price of steel has increased, reducing pressure on Tata to sell. But a delay may only provide short-term relief for some of the workforce. One potential bidder fears the UK business will "wither on the vine" while Tata refocuses its investment on its plants within the EU. German engineering conglomerate Thyssen Krupp and Tata have held talks on combining their continental European steel operations, as global overcapacity weighs on prices and profits. Cross-code convert Burgess left Bath after only one year of a three-year deal to re-join Australian rugby league side South Sydney Rabbitohs last week. Burgess, 26, said his "heart wasn't in" rugby union. Media playback is not supported on this device "For me this was the time to roll his sleeves up and become the player that I thought he could be and he chose not to," said Ford. "It wasn't until the final talk I had with him that I felt there was nothing more I could do. "But I did speak to him about that and about what a fantastic player he could be, and about the investment the club and the players had made in him, and that it was time to repay that. "But he chose differently." Told about Ford's comments at a Rabbitohs news conference after his arrival in Sydney on Tuesday, Burgess said: "Mike might be a bit upset and that's fine. "What did he say? That I missed my mum? Who doesn't miss their mum? I'm not afraid to say that. "Fordy is entitled to what he wants to say. It is more a reflection on him than me." The former Bradford Bulls player insisted he would be at South Sydney "for a long time now". He added: "It was never in question really about looking elsewhere at any of the clubs. I would find it very hard to put a different shirt on." Burgess revealed that Bath captain Stuart Hooper prevented the former England centre from addressing the squad after opting to leave - a decision Ford defended. Bath and England fly-half George Ford - the head coach's son - said the team did not not want an added distraction before last weekend's Premiership game against London Irish, which they won 45-14. "A lot of lads would die for this club," George Ford told BBC Points West. "A lot of lads have been here since they were young, coming up through the academy, and have served this club for as long as they can and for someone to come in and not maybe do the same thing upset a few lads. "It was a great decision by Stuart as we wanted to focus our energy into putting in a good performance against London Irish." Bath moved quickly to replace Burgess, who played at flanker for the club and inside centre for England, by signing Scotland back-rower David Denton from Edinburgh. Head coach Ford said it was a "fair" assessment to say Denton's arrival left Bath in a stronger position. "Everyone's seen Sam's interview and his heart's not in it any more, so when someone's like that you're better off having someone in who wants to be here," he added. "I wasn't surprised with what Sam said because he's talked to me along the way." Councillors in Rotherham have been told the Magna Science Adventure Centre, which owes the authority £440,000 in loans, cannot cover its running costs. The report for the council by Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) says cost-cutting and management changes have not altered the business. Magna said it had "amazing potential". In the detailed report obtained by BBC Radio Sheffield, councillors have been told "the balance sheet position is weak" and there is "a reducing level of unrestricted reserves and a reducing cash balance". The financial experts also said "one-off asset sales have been used as a way to generate cash to maintain liquidity". Magna's income and expenditure performance had been "variable in recent years" but an improvement had been seen in 2014/15, the document reveals. However, "some of the income forecast assumptions are considered over-optimistic, such as an annual 5% growth in leisure visitor numbers". Rotherham Council said: "We are currently considering future options and will bring forward recommendations in due course, but are not in a position to comment further at this stage." Magna, which has not yet seen the report, said: "We continue to work closely with Rotherham Council over the future development of Magna and await the publication of its commissioned report, at which point we will review its findings and recommendations together. "Magna is very much part of the heritage of Rotherham and has amazing potential to be so so much more." Magna opened on the former Templeborough steelworks in 2001 and gets 120,000 visitors a year. It is run by the Magna Trust, a registered charity which does not allow it to go overdrawn. The council, which is a trust member, granted Magna a 15-year loan of £300,000 in 2006. It has also provided an annual £250,000 loan facility since 2008 after the site suffered setbacks during the recession. The facility was temporarily increased by £100,000 in January to pay staff salaries. A cabinet meeting in February deferred a decision to increase Magna's access to council cash to £350,000 a year pending a review of its business plan. Liverpool's Siobhan Chamberlain kept Toni Duggan and Jane Ross out early. Stanway, 17, found the top corner with a fine long-range shot on the half-hour, having earlier replaced injured England midfielder Isobel Christiansen. Nikita Parris then headed home from a Duggan corner as Scott Rogers' reign as Liverpool boss started with defeat. The remaining seven fifth-round ties will be played on Sunday. Liberal Democrat John Munro and John Penrose, Conservative, agreed that transport connections were vital. Labour's Tim Taylor spoke about quality of life in rural areas. Richard Lawson, Green, said there were too many empty properties, while Ernie Warrender, UKIP, highlighted new homes being built in already busy areas. The five candidates were speaking on a BBC Radio Bristol election debate programme. The English Democrats' Clive Lavelle, who was not at the debate, said traffic problems were "part-and-parcel of being an outlying village". "Over the years, successive local authorities attempt to upgrade dirt-tracks into metalled roads, then widen them; but there is a limit to how far this process can go," he added. John Monro, Liberal Democrat, said: "There are a number of villages that surround the constituency that are vitally important. "One of the most important things is making sure the villages are well connected to the town, to allow people to live and work there - to keep the economy within the constituency." John Penrose, Conservative, added: "I agree about the transport connections. Of course it also means connections into Taunton and Bristol, as well. "Junction 21 [M5, Weston-super-Mare] is hugely improved but there are further improvements needed on things like our train service." UKIP's Ernie Warrender said: "I'll touch briefly on Banwell. I mean that's an absolute classic. "There's just been planning permission granted by the current council for 1,107 houses just down the road. "If you have ever driven through Banwell, you'd be better off walking. It'd be a lot, lot quicker." Tim Taylor, Labour, said: "I understand the concerns about new housing [in rural areas] but the population is aging in those villages. "They have to attract young families and the only way to do that is by building [affordable] housing. Otherwise some of those communities are going to suffer. "It's [also] about making sure that only HGVs that go there are delivering to local businesses, because the air quality, particularly in Banwell, is quite poor." The Green's Richard Lawson said: "We need to identify empty properties and bring them back into use. It's win/win all the way around." The candidates for the constituency are: Clive Lavelle, English Democrats Richard Lawson, Green John Munro, Liberal Democrat John Penrose, Conservative Tim Taylor, Labour Ernie Warrender, UKIP Liam Lyburd admitted possessing a gun, bomb and bullets but claimed he had not intended to hurt anyone at Newcastle College. He was found guilty of possessing weapons with intent to endanger life following a trial at Newcastle Crown Court. He will be sentenced on 25 September at the same court. During the trial, Newcastle Crown Court heard he told police he intended to "shoot a bunch of people" and blow up Newcastle College. Prosecutor Nick Dry said that following concerns raised about posts he had made on Facebook in November under the name Felix Burns, police went to the house on Hamilton Place, Newcastle, where he lived with his mother and sister and searched his room. Officers found items including a black handgun and canisters of CS gas, along with a black "kill bag" which contained a balaclava, safety glasses, elbow and knee pads and a number of pipe bombs with nails taped around them. Lyburd laughed as he was transported to the police station after being arrested, and told detectives that it had been a "fantasy that he had no intention of carrying out", the court heard. During the trial he often smirked, and said that buying a gun online was not a "big deal" and "like buying a bar of chocolate". When his house was raided he had not been outside for months, but lived off takeaways which he paid for with other people's Paypal accounts. He corresponded with people online, discussing plans to carry out a massacre and praising US high school shooters and the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik. The court heard analysis of his laptop found a file called "Newcastle College" which he had attempted to delete. But experts recovered the contents, including a note that said: "I'll get my power back today haha... You ruined my whole life, don't expect me to show any mercy today. No-one disrespects me and gets away with it. I will teach you a little lesson on respect with my 9mm hollow points ;). "It's time for extreme civil disobedience. Fantasy will become reality for sure. Where the mind goes the body will follow and yes, people will die there's no question about that." A spokesperson for Newcastle College, said: "The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority and we would like to thank Northumbria Police who we worked closely with throughout the incident." Lyburd admitted nine charges relating to making five pipe bombs, two home-made explosive devices, possessing a 9mm Luger Calibre Glock gun, 94 jacketed hollow point expanding bullets, and CS gas. He had denied eight charges of possessing those items with an intent to endanger life but was convicted of all eight counts. After the verdicts were returned, Lyburd made a gun gesture with his hand and pointed it at his head. Scientists have measured its grip and found that its claw is stupendously strong! The coconut crab has the most powerful claw of any crustacean, that's creatures like crabs, shrimps and lobsters. The projects lead scientist, Shin-ichiro Oka said that the crabs' grip is almost as strong as a lion's bite. This puts the coconut crabs claws strength higher than most other land hunters. The coconut crab uses its powerful claws for a number of things, but mainly for eating. The powerful creatures are fierce and their claws are used to kill smaller crabs to eat and also to crack open hard food like coconuts. They also come in handy when they have to fight off things trying to eat them. They live alone in burrows or in cracks in the rocks and will attack other crabs if they meet them. Ministers have published guidelines for such staff, including people on zero-hours contracts. The Welsh Government has pledged to ensure zero-hours contracts are not misused in devolved public services. Plaid Cymru has criticised ministers for not banning them in social care. Staff on such contracts can request a review "with a view to changing their contractual arrangement" if they have been working regular hours - for example four hours a week for three months. The guidelines say devolved public services should regularly review whether non-guaranteed hours are appropriate. Employers are also told they should involve trade unions as part of a "'Welsh Way' of social partnership". As someone whose only experience of bikes over the past decade has been spin class, and not very many of those, I was apprehensive about being sent on the group city ride with Cardiff council, Sustrans and other journalists, following a report into cycling in the city. Everyone else brought their own bike and helmet, dressed like professionals. "How many hire bikes do we need?" "Just the one. For Carys." Within a couple of minutes of the group setting off, carefully indicating and safely crossing into the right lane of a busy junction, a large BMW shot past - cutting us off to push to the front of the queue for the red light and coming within a whisker of hitting my (very shaky) left arm. The driver offered a hand gesture which may have been an apology, a thank you or something else, it was difficult to see through the drizzle pelting into my face. I am in the 28% of Cardiff residents who do not ride a bike but would like to and for those first few minutes, I felt quite vindicated in my hesitation. All my worst fears were true - motorists were impatient and inconsiderate, the roads were busy, everyone seemed to be staring angrily into our backs and it is difficult to name many situations where you are more exposed and vulnerable to a traffic accident than as an inexperienced cyclist in a city centre. But I kept telling myself the statistic we heard at the beginning of the ride - there is only one serious injury for every 4.3 million miles pedalled around the capital. As we continued on our 4.5 mile (7.2km) ride around Cathays, the guides rode ahead, checking junctions to wave us through, signalling when to dismount because of the lack of lowered pavement curbs and occasionally stopping traffic so the group could remain together. Cycling in Cardiff started to feel a lot safer and I even gained enough confidence to let loose my death grip on the handlebars for at least two seconds to indicate with the group. But I could not help wondering how different the experience would have been alone - not surrounded by people specifically looking out for my wellbeing, not to mention that of the council cabinet member who joined us. We quickly reached quieter 20mph roads and cycle paths. Cars seemed to respect the white line separating them from us, slowing down or even stopping rather than cutting into bike lanes. This must be one of the "good infrastructure areas" - Cardiff council and Sustrans' aim for the whole city. I could even imagine doing this, even without my biking babysitters. Margaret Jones, the guide who took me under her wing, pointed out hazards as we went along. Recognising that my lack of confidence on a bike generally was not helping she recommended the roads in Cardiff Bay for practice. "Get confident enough on those roads to be able to take out your water bottle and have a sip. Then letting go to indicate will seem like nothing," she said. A busy junction near the school of music was too difficult to navigate, so we dismounted and crossed with the pedestrians, staying on foot until we had cleared the majority of the traffic and large crowds of students. A few more minutes of pleasant, easy cycling followed as we navigated 20mph streets until we encountered roadworks which had reduced the road to one lane. "Construction companies don't always, in fact hardly ever, think about cyclists when they're planning roadworks," Ms Jones tells me. "The timing of the traffic lights will usually accommodate cars' speeds so it doesn't allow enough time for a cyclist. And someone's turned a 20mph sign over there the wrong way round, I mean, for goodness' sake people, behave." Again, the guides block the other end of the traffic lights so we can all make it through safely - but I can imagine that being a nervous guessing game for a lone cyclist. Despite the attitudes of some motorists towards cyclists - even those who adhere to every rule of the road - it was clear that a great deal has been done to keep riders safe in the capital. There are cycle lanes where I had no clue they existed and signs showing motorists just how many bikes were passing through. Every time a road started to feel dangerous we seemed able to branch off either to a cycle path, through a park or to a quieter route. At some point during the second half of the ride, I realise I am enjoying myself. The council says the population of Cardiff will increase by a quarter over 25 years, meaning the number of cars on the roads will increase too. One of the ways to get cars off the roads is to make cycling a more attractive and safer option - there are already 71 miles (114km) of bike routes in Cardiff and plans for more. "It is my mission now to get you cycling regularly in Cardiff," Ms Jones tells me as we arrive, dishevelled but happy, back at our starting point. She rushes off to get me a cycle map from the leisure centre. Who am I to argue with that? The rocket was pushed through the front door of Paul Burton's house in Sunny Hill, Derby, on 5 November, setting light to a cupboard. The fire caused smoke damage to the building and it could be up to four months before they can return. But Mr Burton said his youngest child, who is 11, is too traumatised. The family returned home to watch fireworks after celebrating son Kyle's 21st birthday. As they stood in the kitchen there was a "massive bang and crackling" from a rocket. Mr Burton and Kyle ran into the street where they chased off two teenagers before returning to the house. "As we were coming up the street I could hear my daughter screaming... she was on the floor holding the dog. "My wife was holding my youngest son because his ears were hurting and he was crying." It was only then that they discovered the contents of the cupboard were on fire. Since then they have had to move out while repairs are carried out. They have been told it could be between four and 16 weeks before their house is ready. Mr Burton said: "I don't want them back in that house, my youngest son is not handling things very well... he's constantly breaking down. "He's not settling through the night, he's crying in his sleep, he's throwing himself around in his bed. For their sake we can't go back in their home." Derbyshire police said they were investigating. A friend has set up a crowdfunding website to raise money for the family for Christmas. About £500 has been raised so far. The cold spell has killed at least seven people in Peru, four in Bolivia and two in Paraguay. In the latter, the authorities blamed the weather for the death of more than 5,000 cattle too. Weather forecasters say a cold front from Antarctica entered the region almost a week ago. On Friday, the Peruvian deputy education minister, Martin Vegas, said schools were closed in 43 provinces in 10 regions. "They will remain closed next week as more snowfalls have been forecast," he said. Thousands of llamas and alpacas have died in the cold weather. Peruvian President Ollanta Humala visited some of the worst affected areas earlier this week. He said blankets and alpaca covers were needed, as well as medicines and clothes. In Bolivia, roads closed by the snow have disrupted supplies to mines in the province of Inquisivi, in La Paz. Work in five mines in the region, which employ thousands of workers, had to be suspended since last weekend because of the snow. Correspondents say they were running out of supplies. One of the driest places on earth, the Atacama desert in northern Chile, also saw snow earlier this week. Forecasters said the snowfall was the heaviest in the area, about 1,000km (600 miles) north of the capital Santiago, in three decades. Before his elevation to the top leadership role in the Taliban, he functioned as the acting head of the movement on behalf of Mullah Mohammad Omar, its founder and spiritual head. In this capacity, he is understood to have authorised the release of periodic statements by Mullah Omar on the official Taliban website, even after Mullah Omar had been dead for a long time. This created controversy within the higher echelons of the movement, and there were allegations that he might have conspired with some other tribal allies or elements in Pakistan to assassinate Mullah Omar. Many of his detractors accuse him of being firmly in the hands of the Pakistani intelligence apparatus, which they say offers him sanctuary and protection. However, the main challenges to his leadership have eased for now, and even al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri has expressed his allegiance to Mullah Mansour as the legitimate successor to Mullah Omar. The BBC spoke to a number of experts on the Taliban to build up a picture of how the group operates under its new leader. Mullah Mansour was born sometime between 1963 and 1965 in Band-e-Taimoor, a village in Maiwand district of Kandahar, a southern province of Afghanistan that shares a border with Pakistan's south-western Balochistan province. During the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s, Mullah Mansour, like some other members of his family, is said to have carried a gun alongside Islamist resistance fighters of the mujahideen. Like some other members of his family, he also followed a local group led by Mullah Haji Mohammad, who was the regional commander of Hezb-e-Islami Khalis, one of seven main Pakistan-based resistance groups led by Maulvi Yunus Khalis. Some sources say he was a prominent, though young, fighter, but not much is known about his exploits then. In 1987, he is known to have moved to Quetta, the capital of Pakistan's Balochistan province, and later to Peshawar in the north-west, in what is now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where he resumed a religious education that had been interrupted by the war in Afghanistan. Mullah Mansour was among the first bands of Taliban, or seminary students, that descended from Pakistan to capture Kandahar and then the rest of Afghanistan in a two-year blitzkrieg that wiped out nearly all the various mujahideen groups except the Northern Alliance. According to an independent Afghan news agency, Pajhwok, after the capture of Kandahar, the Taliban leadership put Mansour in charge of airport security in the southern city and later made him "commander of its jet fighters". When the Taliban captured Kabul in 1996, he was initially appointed as director of the Afghan airline Ariana and was later made minister of civil aviation, with additional responsibility for transport and the air force. There have been allegations that when the Taliban were in power, he used drug money from the poppy fields of the south to set up businesses in the Gulf. Like most Taliban leaders in the south, Mullah Mansour moved to Quetta when the US attacked Afghanistan in late 2001. As Taliban resistance to the US grew, he was named shadow governor of Kandahar, an indication of his importance within the movement. He also quickly climbed the ladder within the Taliban ruling council. In 2007, Pakistani security forces captured former Taliban defence minister and the movement's acting head, Mullah Obaidullah Akhund, in Quetta. The Taliban's ruling council replaced him with Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and appointed Mullah Mansour as one of his two deputies. Mullah Baradar himself was arrested in a joint ISI-CIA operation in 2010, paving the way for Mansour to become the acting head of the movement. Leaks by Afghan intelligence in July that Mullah Omar had died sometime in 2013 created an embarrassing situation for Mullah Mansour. But the Pakistan-based leadership council moved quickly to confirm him as their permanent head, in a move aimed at preventing initial unrest among the rank and file from translating into a wider divide. The Lords EU Committee has been examining the impact of Brexit on the UK's devolved institutions. It said Northern Ireland will be "profoundly affected" because of its distinctive circumstances. Statistical analysis suggests about 65% of unionists backed Brexit while almost 90% of nationalists voted remain. The committee said it appeared that the disagreements over Brexit had contributed to the collapse of the Northern Ireland Executive. Sinn Féin favours a "special status" for Northern Ireland that would keep it in the EU, a policy rejected by unionists. Committee member, Lord Kinnoull, told BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme that "not a day goes by that every member of the committee doesn't wake up and hope to be hearing better news from Northern Ireland about the institutions". He added that in the absence of power-sharing at Stormont, Northern Ireland still needed to be given a voice in the Brexit negotiations. "What is important is that a series of bilateral discussions continues so that there is a dialogue - it's important work," said Lord Kinnoull. "The key message of our report is that every part of the UK needs to work constructively together to get the best from Brexit. "Even if some institutions are temporarily out of order, those that would make them up need to be part of that process as well." The committee acknowledged that the use of the phrase "special status" in respect of Brexit is politically contentious for unionists who do not want Northern Ireland's place in the UK to be undermined. However, it added that "the specific circumstances in Northern Ireland" - geographical, historical, and political - "give rise to unique issues that will need to be addressed during the Brexit negotiations". It called on the UK government to identity and outline "flexible and imaginative solutions" to the issue of the Irish border as a matter of priority. Lord Kinnoull said the committee welcomed the EU's approach to resolving the question of the Irish border. "We've had direct and fresh news from Brussels, who are determined to ensure we have no hard border," he said. "The most senior aides to Michel Barnier (the EU's chief negotiator) are being asked to deal specifically with the complex issue of the island of Ireland - that underlines the determination of all parties concerned to get to a fair and reasonable conclusion." The report also referred to "acute concern" that the devolved jurisdictions will lose out if needs-based EU funding is replaced by UK subsidies granted in accordance with the population-based Barnett Formula. A previous report from the committee recommended that Northern Ireland should have continued access to EU funding for cross-Irish-border projects. The image of a woman staring at an empty plinth had been painted on a wall in Rendezvous Street last month for the town's Triennial Festival. On Sunday night a spray-painted image of a penis was added to the mural, which had earlier been covered with clear plastic sheeting. The artwork is not believed to have been permanently damaged. Kent Police said it was investigating the incident. Banksy confirmed that the mural, "Art Buff", was his work by posting it on his website. After it appeared, Shepway District Council said it would work with the owner of the building in in Payers Park to ensure it remained undamaged. A message on Bradley Lowery's Facebook page said the treatment had been his "last option" and at this stage they would continue "creating memories". Bradley, who has neuroblastoma, was due to attend Saturday's Grand National race. His family said they were "heartbroken" at the news. Bradley had just been signed up to take part in a new therapy at Great Ormond Street Hospital. The statement said: "Scan results show treatment that Bradley has been receiving is not working, this means we will not get him cancer free as this was our last option. "We can still go to London and receive the trial there however this a phase one trial and hasn't shown any success in neuroblastoma up to now. "We are understandably heartbroken about the recent news, hearing this type of thing never gets easier. "We don't know how long it will be before the cancer wins, but what we do know is that we will continue to make memories and enjoy our super hero every second of the day." At Christmas Bradley received thousands of cards of support from all over the world. Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe has been a regular visitor to his hospital bedside and recently led Bradley out as the England team's mascot at Wembley and Sunderland's mascot at the Stadium of Light. Neuroblastoma is a rare cancer with an unknown cause that affects babies and young children. Already, a number of intelligence failures and security challenges have been identified in the wake of the Paris attacks. The first challenge is for the French security services. A number of those involved in the attacks, such as Omar Mostefai and Sami Amimour, ­were known to the authorities for extremist links and yet made it out to Syria and then were able to get back to France apparently undetected. There may well have been a specific failure here but it is hard to be sure yet. A large terror operation like Paris takes considerable planning and normally that would leave some kind of a footprint - often in the form of electronic communications and contact with people under surveillance - that intelligence agencies would hope to pick up and yet in this case they did not. That may be due to operational security by the group involved, especially if they found ways to communicate that were not monitored (there have been reports they used encryption apps but there is no clear evidence of that yet). But a real problem for French security is the numbers - 1,000 individuals are thought to have gone to Syria from France and keeping track of all of them and of the movements of those who come back is a problem that risks swamping any security service. The main task is risk assessment and prioritisation to try to work out where to devote limited surveillance resources. But this is an art not a science and the risk-profile of individuals can easily be underestimated. This problem of numbers applies to many other European security and police services as well, including that in the UK. A second problem is the international dimension. Jihadists operate internationally and the Paris attackers moved across Europe and over borders. Jihadists will always exploit the weakest link in security, including internationally. In the Paris case they appear to have organised in Belgium. The Belgian state is smaller and its security services lack the capacity of the French. Security services are focused on their own nations and have to rely on liaison with other services to track people who are moving. That leads to a reliance on relationships and information sharing which is not always as good as it should be. Turkish authorities for instance have said they informed French counterparts in 2014 and 2015 about Omar Mostefai being linked to four terror suspects in the country that the French were asking for information on but say they heard nothing back until after the attacks. The pressure may grow for improving intelligence sharing at a European level - and also with the US - and especially at borders. Police appear to have stopped individuals involved in the plot and then let them go in some cases. The Austrians are thought to have halted Salah Abdeslam in September when he crossed over from Germany with two men. The real question in a case like this is whether they had, or should have had, any information to suggest he was a threat but that would have had to come from other countries. The possibility that one attacker posed as a refugee, perhaps using a faked Syrian passport, adds another element of complexity. The vast flow of people who have entered Europe makes it much easier to hide and move than in the past. Until recently, there was little evidence of any jihadists hiding among refugees but the Paris case, ­if confirmed, may change that. The problem is that border and entry checks vary from place to place. Some countries have fingerprinted and registered refugee arrivals, others have not, sometimes because they are overwhelmed but also because they simply want to usher refugees onwards as fast as possible to the next country. Border controls and the refugee crisis are politically potent issues domestically in many countries which will make finding common ground harder. Every successful terrorist attack is, in one sense, an intelligence failure but hindsight always makes that clearer. The problems are often easy to spot afterwards but the reality is that they are often complex and hard to fix. His publisher, Pan Macmillan, confirmed that he died at his home in Sussex this morning. No cause of death was given. Jeremy Trevathan, his editor for 10 years, described him as "one of the keystone authors in a genre that had its heyday in the 1970s and 1980s". He is survived by his wife, Eileen, whom he married in 1967, and their three daughters Kerry, Emma and Casey. Herbert's first novel, The Rats, depicted London overrun by mutant flesh-eating rodents and sold 100,000 copies within two weeks of being published in 1974. Since then, he has published 23 novels in more than 30 languages, selling 54 million copies worldwide. His latest book, Ash, was published last week. Herbert was appointed an OBE by the Queen in 2010 - the same year he was made Grand Master of Horror by the World of Horror Convention. Mr Trevathan described Herbert as "one of the giants of popular fiction in the 20th Century". "It's a true testament to his writing and his enduring creativity that his books continued to be huge bestsellers right up until his death. "He has the rare distinction that his novels were considered classics of the genre within his lifetime," he added. Born in London's East End on 8 April 1943, Herbert won a scholarship to St Aloysius Grammar School in Highgate at the age of 10. After a college course in graphic design, he went on to work at an advertising agency. He started his first novel, The Rats, at the age of 28 and completed it within 10 months. He submitted the manuscript to six publishers, three of whom replied. Of those, two rejected the novel and one accepted it. The Rats was one of four Herbert novels made into films, along with The Survivor, Fluke and Haunted. His novel The Secret Of Crickley Hall was adapted for television and broadcast on BBC One in December, while The Magic Cottage was dramatised for BBC Radio 4. One of his friends, Gordon Giltrap, paid tribute to the author on Twitter: "Received some sad news this morning that my good friend James Herbert has passed away. Am in no mood for music, that's for sure. RIP Jim." Another, Peter James, wrote: "Deeply saddened to hear today that my dear friend, writer James Herbert, died last night. Will miss you lots, Jim, you were a diamond." Some claim it has left a new slipway at the town's harbour "virtually useless". Elected members clashed on the issue during a meeting of Dumfries and Galloway Council on Thursday. Earlier this week an internal investigation found "no illegality, maladministration or injustice" in handling part of the scheme. Grahame Forster, councillor for Wigtown West, said: "The committee approved a large slipway. We were delivered a small slipway that neither reaches the sea or is large enough to take boats out. "Officers decided to come up with the idea of a small slipway with a boat hoist, not elected members initially." He said local fishermen have not been properly consulted on the position of the boat hoist. Fellow councillor Willie Scobie, who represents Stranraer, said their points were ignored by members at the meeting of the full council. He added: "They have ignored the people of Stranraer throughout the whole process." Council monitoring officer Alex Haswell has investigated the project and concluded there was a "clear audit trail" of decisions and delegated powers had not been exceeded. An external report has been ordered to look at the financial viability of the slipway scheme and whether it provides value for money. Vincent Kompany remains unavailable but is close to a return to fitness. Huddersfield will again be without midfielder Aaron Mooy, who is ineligible against his parent club. Sean Scannell and Harry Bunn are both back in training and could feature but Nahki Wells is a doubt with an ankle problem, while Christopher Schindler and Kasey Palmer are injured. Simon Brotherton: "Huddersfield's priority is undoubtedly promotion to the Premier League, but their squad proved strong enough not only to force this replay but also prevent City from scoring. "That's something only Barcelona, Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton had previously managed this season. "Manchester City still have an eye on other competitions too, not least the Champions League, but with Chelsea and Manchester United drawn together in the last eight, the FA Cup offers their best chance of a trophy in Pep Guardiola's first season in charge. "Both teams would surely fancy their chances in a quarter-final tie at Middlesbrough." Twitter: @SimonBrotherton Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "Tomorrow is a final. Sometimes the teams at the top of the Championship are better than teams in the Premier League. They are so professional." Huddersfield head coach David Wagner: "To play this game, with this good run we are on, in a different competition, gives you a special feeling for this game because you can really play with freedom. "It's an extraordinary occasion, which everybody can be excited about and we should transform this into a good performance." Head-to-head Manchester City Huddersfield Town

The two-hour low-speed pursuit last July started in Norwich and ended in Brandon, Suffolk, and caused thousands of pounds worth of damage. Nicholas Churchill, 40, from Brandon, wrote off two cars and damaged several others after a "red mist" descended. A police officer whose car was rammed said he thought he was going to die. The pursuit took place on major roads including the A140, A11, and A134 - as well as in a pedestrianised precinct - and involved six police cars and a helicopter. Latest reaction on this story and others from Suffolk At an earlier court hearing, Churchill, of Mounts Pit Lane, admitted aggravated vehicle taking, dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drugs. £26,000 of damage caused 37 the number of miles the pursuit lasted across two counties 30mph the maximum speed reached by the dumper truck 6 the number of police cars involved in the pursuit 3 police patrol vehicles were damaged in the chase Norwich Crown Court heard he took the 30-tonne truck from his employer after becoming angry about the air conditioning in his cab when it became too hot to work at a quarry in Spixworth, Norfolk. But it was a mild day of about 13C (55.4F) and he felt hot because he had been taking amphetamines, prosecutor Andrew Oliver said. His antics left a trail of destruction along the way and shoppers were forced to scatter as he drove through the Brandon street that is closed to traffic. A Norfolk policeman, whose patrol car was rammed, told the court: "I thought I was going to die. I was petrified." Churchill's rampage damaged police cars and the truck he was driving was estimated at costing more than £26,000 to repair or replace. In mitigation, the court was told: "The red mist descended. What happened after that he can't remember or explain." Jailing Churchill for 14 months and banning him from driving for two years, Judge Anthony Bate said: "You left a trail of destruction and damaged police vehicles in your wake. "It was a shocking piece of sustained dangerous driving." Media playback is not supported on this device Pressure is mounting on head coach Ian Cathro after the Edinburgh side were knocked out of the League Cup. And, with work continuing on the main stand at Tynecastle, Hearts' first four Premiership games are away to Celtic, Kilmarnock, Rangers and Motherwell. "These games make you or break you and hopefully they're going to be the making of us," Berra said. The 32-year-old reckons that, following a tough week in the League Cup. there is "no better game to bounce back" in than away to champions Celtic on Saturday. A 2-1 defeat at Peterhead was followed by a 2-2 home draw with Dunfermline Athletic, with the Pars winning the penalty shootout and the bonus point that came with it. The Gorgie fans vented their anger towards Cathro at the end of Saturday's match and Berra revealed that the players had a frank exchange in the dressing-room at full time. "It's not the result we wanted and we had a few harsh words afterwards for 10-15 minutes between the players, which was needed," the summer signing from Ipswich Town revealed. "Sometimes, if you let it lie, you come back into training and everything is rosy again, nothing is said. "So sometimes you're better saying things in the heat of the moment in the changing-room after games. I said a few things, a few other boys and the manager did too." Berra, who was also at Hearts from 2003-09, says the players are backing head coach Cathro and the Scotland international reckons the 31-year-old is the man to take the club forward. But he knows the pressure is on the man who took over in December last year and guided Hearts to a fifth-place finish in the Premiership. "At the end of the game, the fans weren't happy, first and foremost, and the players can sense that," Berra said. "It's not just on the manager, it's the players as well, we're not getting results. We're the ones who cross that white line. "We're the ones on the pitch, not taking chances or making mistakes that lose the game. So, in the end, the responsibility lies on the players and we need to do better as well. "I wasn't here when he was revealed as manager, but a lot of press has been on his back, but he won't be the only one or the last one - that's football and I'm sure the manager is big enough to take that on the chin and move on." Cathro is in his first job as team boss, with the former Dundee United youth coach having been assistant Rio Ave, Valencia and Newcastle United. "It's a lot of pressure," added Berra. "If you're a footballer or a manager, if things are not going well, you're going to get stick. That's the way it is. "Scotland is a small country, but there is a lot of media and that's the way it is - it's the nature of the beast. "The only way we're going to win the fans over is by winning games, starting the season well and doing the best we can." Amy's Place aims to help its residents reintegrate into society "with the best possible opportunity of sustaining their recovery and building a fulfilling life". Based in east London, the house will accommodate 16 women aged 18 to 30. Winehouse died aged 27 in July 2011 from accidental alcohol poisoning. Her family set up the foundation, which works to prevent young people misusing alcohol and drugs, as well as to support disadvantaged young artists, in September 2011. Amy's Place will be run with the help of Centra Care and Support, part of the non-profit organisation Circle Housing, one of the UK's largest providers of affordable housing. New residents at the recovery centre will take part in a three-month programme, including activities such as yoga and reiki as well as relapse prevention groups. They will be allowed to stay for up to two years. Dominic Ruffy, special project director at the Amy Winehouse Foundation, said there were very few female-specific addiction centres in the UK - despite the fact research shows women have a greater chance of relapse without support. He also spoke to women at female-only addiction centre Hope House who said moving to a mixed sex centre had been one of their fears, because of issues around co-dependency and past experiences of abuse. "It's really critical that women have that length of time to sit with themselves, be with themselves, and learn how to manage their emotional wellbeing," he told BBC Radio 5 live. Mr Ruffy said women based at Amy's Place would already have been through a treatment programme and would come to the new centre clean and sober. But he added: "It's one thing to be clean and sober, it's another thing learning how to then live your life without using drugs, and going down pathways such as volunteering or employment or education." The centre is due to open on 22 August. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram at bbcnewsents, or email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. The Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust wants to cut its deficit from £8.9m in 2015-16 to £6.1m in 2016-17. The trust says in its report it hopes most posts can be cut through "non-essential" vacant posts being left unfilled. But Unison claimed it would have a "dramatic impact on services". The trust's annual operational plan for 2016-17 says demand for mental health services "continues to increase, whilst our funding declines". The trust, which has an annual budget of more than £200m, added: "While we must control our own costs, we recognise that 'parity of esteem' is yet to be reflected in parity of resources. "Our Board will continue to campaign to improve this position. "We have a robust financial recovery plan which will see us deliver a £6.1m deficit in 2016-17. Like the wider health and social care community, our trust faces long-term challenges, often outside of our control." The trust had planned to cut 135 posts, but said that it had now reduced that figure fo 90. Anne Humphrys, from the Campaign to Save Mental Health Services in Norfolk and Suffolk, said: "The trust is in special measures because it was rated inadequate. "Further cuts is no way going to improve the service. There are not enough staff to meet the needs of the service at present." Jeff Keighley, of the Unison union, said staff were "trying to run a service without the adequate resources and for them it's quite frightening". He added: "It will have a dramatic impact on services." The foundation trust said it did not plan to make any compulsory redundancies. It was placed in special measures by the Care Quality Commission in 2015 when it was described as "not a safe... service". 24 February 2016 Last updated at 06:55 GMT The Carolina Dreamer was released into the sea in May 2015 by schoolchildren from South Carolina with a tracking device.

Dennis Young, from York, is accused of nine counts of indecent assault on a boy under 14 at Skegby Hall School in Nottinghamshire. The offences are alleged to have been committed between October 1958 and December 1961. Mr Young will go on trial at Nottingham Crown Court on 26 August. He appeared at Mansfield Magistrates' Court and was granted unconditional bail. Mr Young was charged by police investigating historical abuse at the school, which has since closed. Roedd cadeirydd Undeb Amaethwyr Cymru, Glyn Roberts, yn annerch y wasg ar faes y Sioe Frenhinol brynhawn Sul. Dywedodd bod araith ddiweddar yr Ysgrifennydd Amaeth, Michael Gove, lle'r oedd yn awgrymu bod dyfodol polisi amaethyddiaeth yn ddewis rhwng cefnogi cynhyrchu bwyd a gwarchod yr amgylchedd, yn "siomedig". Ychwanegodd ei bod hi'n "chwerthinllyd bod y llywodraeth yn credu bod modd sicrhau ffordd allan o'r Undeb, a dyfodol llewyrchus o ganlyniad i hynny, i gyd o fewn dwy flynedd o gyhoeddi'r ddeddf". "Mae 'na bedwar mis wedi bod ers i'r Prif Weinidog, Theresa May, lofnodi Erthygl 50 ac ychydig iawn sydd wedi digwydd ers hynny," meddai Mr Roberts. Mae'r ddau undeb amaeth yng Nghymru wedi galw ar lywodraethau Prydain a Chymru i egluro beth yn union fydd y polisïau amaeth unwaith y bydd yn DU yn gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. Wrth siarad â'r wasg brynhawn Sul dywedodd cadeirydd Undeb yr Amaethwyr, Stephen James, ei fod yn gobeithio y bydd polisïau yn y dyfodol yn cael eu creu a'u gweithredu gyda'r ffermwr gweithgar mewn meddwl. "Mewn byd delfrydol, fe fydden ni'n hoffi gweld y pedair llywodraeth ym Mhrydain yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd i gytuno ar un polisi a fframwaith ariannu er mwyn sicrhau nad oes 'na rwystrau mewnol o fewn Prydain ond bod 'na ddigon o hyblygrwydd gan bob gwlad i weithredu polisi sy'n addas ar gyfer yr arferion ffermio yn y wlad honno," meddai. Ar faes y Sioe Frenhinol yn Llanelwedd fore Llun bydd Ysgrifennydd Amaeth Llywodraeth Prydain, Michael Gove, ac Ysgrifennydd Materion Cefn Gwlad Cymru, Lesley Griffiths, yn cwrdd am y tro cyntaf wyneb i wyneb. Brynhawn Sul, dywedodd Ms Griffiths y bydd hi'n pwyso ar Mr Gove i ddeall bod gan Gymru ei anghenion penodol ei hun. "Mae 'na botensial gwirioneddol y bydd y ddeddf yma yn troi'r cloc yn ôl 20 mlynedd," meddai Ms Griffiths. "Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn ceisio cael gwarantau gan Lywodraeth Prydain ers i'r ddeddf i adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd gael ei chyhoeddi, ond nid ydyn ni wedi derbyn unrhyw beth ganddyn nhw." Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red by ceramic artist Paul Cummins has proven so popular there have been calls for it to be extended. London Mayor Boris Johnson is among those to have suggested the dismantling of the installation, due to start the day after Armistice Day, could be postponed. Thousands of people have also signed an e-petition calling for the poppies to remain. To allow as many people as possible to see the installation, the hours that the site will be illuminated will be extended. From Friday, the poppies will be lit from 04:30 GMT until dawn and then from dusk until midnight. The first ceramic poppy was planted in July and the final one will be added on 11 November. By then, 888,246 poppies will fill the moat, each one representing a British or colonial death during the conflict. The scale is best appreciated from on high. Here, the red moat of the Tower of London is pictured from the top of The Shard. The artwork was put together with the help of the stage designer Tom Piper, who said he had wanted to create a "fluid and organic feel to it, you could see it as blood, water or life force". Pearly King of Bow Bells Harry Mayhead, who served in Egypt and France for the Royal Army Service Corps in World War Two, helped to plant the poppies, Chelsea Pensioner Albert Willis (left), Yeoman Warder Paul Cunilffe (centre) and Grenadier Guard Joe Robinson, representing three generations of military service, pose for photographers. The Royal British Legion has said it hopes the sale of the ceramic poppies will raise in excess of £15m, and charities benefiting from the sale have been told by Chancellor George Osborne that he will waive the VAT from the sale. The installation began in early August and has evolved over the weeks, put together by 8,000 volunteers. The poppies range in height from 15cm (6in) to 1m tall. "The installation is transient, I found this poignant and reflective of human life, like those who lost their lives during World War One," said Cummins. Photographs of servicemen have been placed on the railings that surround the moat. The Tower of London was where more than 1,600 men swore an oath to the Crown after enlisting for the war. The Queen paid tribute to World War One personnel, in October. Despite calls to extend the installation beyond 12 November, Historic Royal Palaces said it was always the intention to begin sending the poppies - which have been sold for charity - to their new owners after Armistice Day. Mr Cummins has also said he never intended the installation to be permanent as it was meant to symbolise that human beings are "transient". "The idea was it will only be there for a finite time like we are," he said. "It will be nice to keep it here but it isn't mine anymore - it belongs to the world now." The high-tech mission involved sending an unmanned glider to an area around 50 miles (80km) south west of Milford Haven, called the Celtic Deep. The glider travelled 372 miles (600km) in 30 days, undertaking nearly 3,000 dives to the seabed. Data from the robot shows a previously hidden plankton concentration around 30m (98ft) below the surface. Scientists said this marine "larder" is likely to be a foraging area for a range of creatures. A busy shipping route and fishing ground, the Celtic Deep is also a haven for wildlife, attracting dolphins, porpoise and the world's second largest animal - the fin whale. The information gathered is part of a bigger project run in partnership by WWF and the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) to improve understanding of our seas. The data will be used to support calls for further sites, such as the Celtic Deep, to be added to a network of marine protected areas around Wales. A public consultation on the issue, on behalf of the Welsh Government, has been held this year - although the Celtic Deep is not one of the proposed sites for extra protection. "This incredible technology is giving us a completely new level of understanding of our seas," said Dr Lyndsey Dodds, WWF-UK head of marine policy. "The latest evidence pinpoints important food areas for creatures such as porpoises - something that would be invisible to satellites. "Data like this is really important because it gives us a clearer picture of life beneath the surface. That is vital for Welsh and UK governments to help them improve the way they manage our waters and help both people and nature." This weekend sees the start of the next phase of the project, with researchers launching another robot from Newlyn in Cornwall. The innovative surface vehicle named "Thomas" will gather data and images from another "hotspot" off the Isles of Scilly, and will again be paired up with a submarine glider. It is the second attempt to launch Thomas after he ran into technical problems in Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire last summer. Powered by the sun, wind and waves, the robots are operated remotely by scientists in Southampton and Portsmouth via satellite link. NOC's chief scientist of marine autonomous and robotic systems, Prof Russell Wynn, said: "We have already successfully demonstrated the ability to capture valuable data from beneath the surface, and now we hope to capture images and sounds of marine life at the sea surface." The World Health Organization said they uncovered a "grim scene" in the eastern district of Kono. A WHO response team had been sent to Kono to investigate a sharp rise in Ebola cases. Ebola has killed 6,346 people in West Africa, with more than 17,800 infected. Sierra Leone has the highest number of Ebola cases in West Africa, with 7,897 cases since the beginning of the outbreak. 10,460 Deaths - probable, confirmed and suspected (Includes one in the US and six in Mali) 4,332 Liberia 3,799 Sierra Leone 2,314 Guinea 8 Nigeria The WHO said in a statement on Wednesday that over 11 days in Kono, "two teams buried 87 bodies, including a nurse, an ambulance driver, and a janitor drafted into removing bodies as they piled up". Bodies of Ebola victims are highly infectious and safe burials are crucial in preventing the transmission of the disease. The response team also found 25 people who had died in the past five days piled up in a cordoned section of the local hospital. Dr Olu Olushayo, a member of the WHO's Ebola response team, said: "Our team met heroic doctors and nurses at their wits' end, exhausted burial teams and lab techs, all doing the best they could but they simply ran out of resources and were overrun with gravely ill people." Health officials are worried that many of the Ebola cases in Kono have gone unreported until now. "We are only seeing the ears of the hippo," said Dr Amara Jambai, Sierra Leone's Director of Disease Prevention and Control. The district of more than 350,000 inhabitants had reported 119 cases up to 9 December. Authorities in Sierra Leone have decided to put Kono district on "lockdown" from 10 to 23 December to try and contain the outbreak. During the lockdown, no-one will be able to enter or leave the district but they can move around freely within it. 5 March 2017 Last updated at 10:19 GMT Lots of people have been taking part in the 55th Annual Conch Shell Blowing Contest in Key West. Contestants had to use their blowing power to trumpet on a big shell called a conch. They were judged on the quality of the sound they made, and how long, loud and how funny the sounds were. Steve Gibson and Jayne Challman were the winners, and gave some advice to future shell-blowers: "Just try and you will be successful".

Dywedodd: "Yna mwy o ergydion, 'alla i ddim cofio yn union... Dechreuodd bobl symud yn ôl, fe wnes i aros i'r ergydion stopio. "Roeddwn i y tu ôl i golofn, ac fe wnes i gymryd cyfle a rhedeg yn ôl i Portcullis House - doeddwn i ddim yn gwybod beth oedd yn mynd ymlaen. "Ond roedd rhywun yn yr ardal hefo gwn ac yn amlwg doeddwn i ddim mewn lle da iawn." Mae nifer o aelodau seneddol o Gymru wedi cyhoeddi negeseuon ar wefan Twitter i ddweud eu bod yn ddiogel. Mae aelod seneddol Plaid Cymru Liz Saville Roberts wedi trydar o siambr y Senedd i ddweud ei bod yn ddiogel wrth i ASau gael eu cadw yn yr adeilad am y tro. Dywedodd yr aelod seneddol Ceidwadol Craig Williams ei fod yn ddiolchgar am y negeseuon y mae wedi eu derbyn, ond ei fod ef a'i dîm yn ddiogel yn y Senedd. Mae'r AS Llafur Wayne David hefyd wedi trydar yn diolch i bobl am gysylltu gydag o, gan ddweud fod y mwyafrif o ASau yn ddiogel wedi eu cloi i mewn yn yr adeilad yn San Steffan. Dywedodd Ian Lucas, yr AS Llafur ei fod yntau yn y siambr a'i fod yn ddiogel ac yn meddwl am y swyddogion hynny oedd yn gofalu amdanynt. Ar Twitter, dywedodd Prif Weinidog Cymru, Carwyn Jones bod hwn yn "ymosodiad ofnadwy ar galon ein democratiaeth, rydw i'n meddwl am bob un sydd wedi eu heffeithio". Mewn neges arall dywedodd: "Delweddau ofnadwy o San Steffan. Mae hwn yn ymosodiad erchyll ar ein democratiaeth. Mae ein meddyliau gyda'r rhai sydd wedi'i effeithio." Mewn datganiad, dywedodd Arweinydd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig, Andrew RT Davies ei fod yn meddwl am bob un sydd wedi eu heffeithio "gan yr ymosodiad treisgar yma ar ein democratiaeth". Ychwanegodd: "Rydyn ni'n cael ein hatgoffa ar adegau fel hyn o ddewrder y gwasanaethau brys, a'r rhai sy'n rhoi eu diogelwch eu hunain mewn perygl i amddiffyn bywydau eraill." Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Plaid Cymru mewn datganiad: "Mae ein Aelodau Seneddol a'u staff yn ddiogel, ond mae ein meddyliau nawr gyda chydweithwyr ac aelodau o'r cyhoedd sydd wedi cael eu dal yng nghanol yr ymosodiad. "Dylai pawb gael yr hawl i deimlo'n ddiogel yn eu man gwaith, yn arbennig cynrychiolwyr a etholwyd yn ddemocrataidd. Mae Plaid Cymru heddiw yn sefyll mewn undod gyda phawb sy'n gweithio yn Senedd San Steffan, ac yn condemnio y weithred ofnadwy hon o drais. " Fe wnaeth gohebydd seneddol BBC Cymru Elliw Gwawr gyhoeddi negeseuon ar Twitter o San Steffan yn syth wedi'r digwyddiad yn dweud fod yr heddlu'n symud pobl i ffwrdd o adeilad y Senedd, a bod nifer o ambiwlansys wedi mynd heibio iddi. Ychwanegodd ei bod yn deall fod nifer o ASau wedi'i cau yn y siambr, a bod swyddfeydd y BBC wedi eu cloi gerllaw. There's good and bad news. And on several fronts. Diesel is today selling in some supermarket forecourts at less than £1 per litre. Nice if you use diesel. Not so great if you produce it, or if you want to curtail burning of it for environmental reasons. Industry analyst Douglas-Westwood has today warned that the backlog of work in subsea operations worldwide has disguised the falling away of orders. It forecasts a 15% drop in the next year in sub-sea installations. With budgets slashed, offshore discoveries last year were down 60% on 2013 and 45% down on 2014. That looks bad, but it's a bust that could lead to a boom. If replacement reserves are not being discovered, there's a reasonable chance of a shortage of output a few years away, pushing prices up again. Recent assumptions have been that a significant rise in world oil prices has not been expected until towards the end of this year. The word is that it's "lower for longer". But then, you should expect the unexpected. One of the uncertainties around supply of oil is political tension around the Persian Gulf. It doesn't take much of a threat to the Straits of Hormuz, between Iran and its Sunni neighbours, to make the market nervous. With Saudi Arabia and Iran in a serious diplomatic tiff, that threat of disruption explains why oil prices have risen with the first day of 2016 trading. At one point, it was up 4% at nearly $39, counter to the sharp downward plunge of stock markets. [Note, 24 hours later: that boost to the price has been lost in subsequent trading. Brent crude has fallen back below $37 per barrel.] We have also heard today that production in the UK offshore sector is well ahead of expectations. It was thought that output would rise during 2015, but only a little, ending a 15-year decline from the North Sea peak, more recently steeper than anticipated. It was clear that a bumper series of investments in new fields were sure to raise output of oil and gas, against the trend of declining output from older fields. The drive to cut costs means non-essential maintenance may also have been postponed, meaning that production could continue. So now, Oil & Gas UK, the trade body, is predicting the full year of 2015 is going to be at least 7% up on 2014. UK government statistics for January to October show oil up 10.6% and gas by 6.1%. November and December rarely change that picture. We're yet to hear of the long-delayed first gas from the Laggan-Tormore field, west of Shetland, but when it comes, that will boost 2016 figures. So here's another combination of good news for the industry coinciding with the bad - production rises at the point when prices drop. So would it not be more sensible to hold back on production until prices rise again? Not in the offshore sector. Once £40bn of investment has been committed, as we've seen over recent years, oil companies don't have the patience or capital to wait until the price rises. Nor does the technology lend itself to sitting idle while the markets make up their minds. In the Arabian deserts or Texas, pumps can be switched off when the price falls - though this time, the Saudis have chosen not to do so. In the Dakotas, fracked wells run out of pressure, and without renewed activity, output dwindles over time. But in the hostile, corrosive waters around Britain, once you've committed, you have to keep up momentum. You could say the same of Norway. But Norway has got lucky - or made its own luck? - with the timing of its production. Britain's production peaked when prices and profits (the taxable bit) were low. Its offshore fields have been, on average, smaller than Norway's, and its tax rates lower. The UK government chose to sell off its stake in oil companies and oil fields, losing out on the opportunity for profits. As I've written before, an analysis of production, price, profits and tax revenue shows the UK and Norway have produced similar levels of oil and gas since 1971. But the Norwegian state gained nearly $30 from each barrel of oil extracted, while the UK government gained only $11. As the UK sector is now seeing an upward blip on the long-term downward trajectory of output, that is welcome for the beleaguered offshore energy industry. But it has come, again, at the wrong time. Meanwhile British number three Kyle Edmund lost to defending champion Novak Djokovic 6-4 7-6 (7-5) in round two. It ends British interest in the singles after Andy Murray and Dan Evans lost. Konta, seeded 11th, broke Garcia in the fourth game but the 21st seed levelled the match and dominated the third-set tie-break, winning it 7-1. Garcia, who was once described by Murray as a future world number one, showed impressive resilience to recover from a set down against Konta and sealed her win and a place in the last 16 with a powerful cross-court backhand. Edmund lost the first set in 42 minutes against Serb Djokovic but won the first three games of the second and served for the set at 5-3, before the five-time champion fought back to seal the match. The world number two will play former US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina in the third round. Australian Open champion Roger Federer needed only 52 minutes to reach round three with a comfortable 6-2 6-1 win against France's Stephane Robert. World number six Rafael Nadal secured a third-round tie against fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco with a 6-3 6-2 victory over Guido Pella of Argentina in one hour 20 minutes. World number 60 Donald Young was a surprise 6-3 3-6 6-3 winner against fellow American Sam Querrey, ranked 26. BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller at Indian Wells Konta played without her usual fluency and, although she served better in the final set, she could not take any of the three break points and was outplayed emphatically by Garcia in the tie-break. The best part of four weeks off tour resting a foot injury may explain some of the rustiness, and - like Andy Murray - Konta now has virtually two weeks of practice stretching ahead of her before she plays her first singles match in Miami. The Scottish SPCA was called out after the ducklings were spotted in Ellon. Animal rescue officer Hannah Gorrara said: "Some lovely children were able to show me the drain where the ducklings were swimming about. "I think their mother must have lost them. It is very sad that they are no longer with their mum but they are doing well in our care." She added: "Thankfully, it wasn't too big a drop. "Hopefully we'll be able to release them back into the wild in about six weeks time once they are fully fit and able to fend for themselves." They were taken to the animal charity's National Wildlife Rescue Centre at Fishcross. Tensions are again escalating between Kiev and Moscow, after a period of relative stability. Unidentified individuals blew up four pylons in two locations in southern Ukraine at the weekend, near the border with the Crimea peninsula, which the Kremlin annexed last year. The explosions severed the flow of electricity to Crimea and plunged it into darkness. Schools were shut down and hospitals ran on reserve generators. Local officials declared a state of emergency. On Wednesday, Moscow and Kiev both announced that Ukraine would no longer receive Russian natural gas deliveries, although it was unclear which side actually initiated this cut-off. At the same time, Ukraine said it was banning all Russian aircraft from flying over its airspace. All this takes place as fighting intensifies between government troops and rebels, whom Moscow by all appearances supports with men and firepower. A ceasefire in September lowered the violence to nearly zero, but the number of dead and wounded is once again mounting. Relations between the two countries are poor, to put it lightly. Still, so far there has not been a complete breakdown. Ukraine bans Russian planes as gas flow halts Crimea hit by blackout and trade boycott Ukraine has officially declared Russia an "aggressor nation" and the fight in its east an "anti-terrorist operation". But Kiev has stopped short of calling it a "war," and ties between them exist but are greatly reduced. Each escalation of the conflict, or the war of words between the countries, raises fears that the fighting will return to the massive bloodshed of earlier this year or, if allowed to spiral out of control, to an all-out conflict. That explains the concern over the mud-splattered electrical equipment in southern Ukraine. Renovation work has begun on one of the four trunk lines into Crimea. Maintenance workers re-erected the pylon on Tuesday and the following day made preparations to raise the electrical cables. Cables were stretched and in some spots slightly lifted, but the labourers stopped short of hoisting them fully on to the pylons. This one line would restore up to 40% of Crimea's power supply, according to local reports. However, it is unknown when the power will finally be switched on. The explosions come after political activists - mostly ethnic Crimean Tatars and members of the Right Sector ultranationalist group - imposed a "blockade" on Crimea, to protest its annexation by Russia and reports of widespread human rights abuses there. This consisted of setting up checkpoints at the two main entry points into Crimea and stopping all cars and trucks trying to transport goods into the region. "I'm protesting because in Crimea people can't live peacefully," said Roman Ragozin, an activist wearing camouflage and the insignia of the Aidar volunteer military battalion. "They're being beaten, and are being searched in the middle of the night - just because they support Ukraine." Kiev officials said they understood the reasons behind the protest and did nothing to stop it, despite its extra-legal character and reports that a number of the activists were using intimidation and force against motorists. Judging by the quiet at the site of the fallen electrical posts, the government's attitude towards the Crimean power outage seems to be similarly ambivalent. Police and protesters clashed on Saturday. However, by the middle of the week, all attempts to repair the remaining three pylons appeared to have been put on indefinite hold. A small group of protesters kept a watchful eye to make sure that authorities did not introduce any additional work beyond that on the first pylon. The government, for the moment, made no move to assert its authority. As a light, cold rain began to fall, the activists moved into a military tent they had set up and poured themselves some hot tea. "A deal will probably be reached to turn back on the electricity," said Roman. "But I'm against giving those separatists anything." The IBSF has named 35 sliders in its registered testing pool who must commit to regular anti-doping checks during the Winter Olympic season. Yarnold, 28, is one of three Britons in the 11 athletes selected from skeleton. "I don't understand why there are three GB athletes and no Russians," she said. "The system is crucial in our fight against doping and I think the IBSF should expand the testing pool." The 2014 Olympic skeleton champion also said on Twitter: "2017-18 list of athletes on anti-doping whereabouts published. Olympic season and no Russian athletes?" The World Anti-Doping Agency's Anti-Doping Administration and Management System (ADAMS) requires athletes to guarantee their whereabouts for one hour per day of the programme's duration. The second McLaren report published in December alleged "a state-sponsored doping programme" in Russia and implicated medalists at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Following the report, four Russian skeleton athletes were provisionally suspended by the IBSF but had their bans lifted in January. In November last year, Yarnold said she was thinking about boycotting the 2017 Skeleton World Championships in Sochi following the claims. But she won bronze at the event held in Germany after the IBSF was forced to move the games from Sochi to Konigssee due to ongoing concerns over the integrity of the sport in Russia. Media playback is not supported on this device Denning, 75, of London, is currently in prison for child sexual offences. He pleaded guilty in August to 21 further counts committed between 1969 and 1986. Denning was arrested after a police inquiry into the Walton Hop Disco in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey. He was part of the original line-up of disc jockeys that launched BBC Radio 1 in 1967, but left two years later. Denning is already serving a 13-year jail term for sexual assaults against 24 victims, aged nine to 16, which took place from the 1960s to 1980s. Judge Alistair McCreath said the effect on the victims, now grown men, has been "devastating". He described the offences as "utterly depraved", and added: "It is not to be forgotten that all of this suffering was inflicted by you for nothing other than your own selfish pleasure." The jury at Southwark Crown Court heard Denning lured boys into his house using his fame and plied them with records, alcohol and cigarettes. He showed them pornography before forcing them to perform sex acts on him and photographed them naked, prosecutor Jonathan Polnay told the court. On several occasions he took some of the boys to London and introduced them to other celebrities, including Gary Glitter, Mr Polnay added. The prosecutor also said Denning had offered one of his victims to another Radio One DJ, who had refused. He also took one of the victims to the Walton Hop Disco, which ran from 1958 until 2001, the jury heard. Judge McCreath said the latest sentence would start from Friday. He told the defendant: "You groomed all of these boys. They were for the most part in their early teens, although some were younger. "You used your own fame, your acquaintance with others who were famous, your familiarity with the music industry... to win their trust and misplaced admiration." David Burgess, defending, said Denning suffers from "various ailments" and may die before the end of his sentence. He added: "His past has caught up with him - we are talking about events over 40 years ago. "He is very sorry, he has expressed that before." Tracey Ullman's Show, on BBC One on Monday, included impressions of a kleptomaniac Dame Judi Dench and a "sex bomb" German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Other comedy characters included drugs mule Karen, adjusting to modern life after 28 years in a Thai prison, and topless feminist MP Sally Preston. Times reviewer Alex Hardy said Ullman's sketch show delivered "mostly hits". "Someone confiscate her passport," she wrote. "It's as if a prodigal daughter - last seen mucking about with French, Saunders and pop producers in the mid-1980s - has returned to the UK from 30 gap years in America and wrapped herself instantly round British hearts and funnybones." The Arts Desk's Veronica Lee said: "Last night's opener didn't just have some of her pitch-perfect impressions, but also her keen-eyed observations of British life today. Clearly her long sojourn in the States hasn't blurred her view, nor made it more rosy about dear old Blighty." Ullman's strongest characters, she thought, were the shoplifting Dame Judi Dench as well as Dame Maggie Smith, seen making an audition tape for a part in Star Wars. The Independent's Sally Newall said Ullman was "on fine fighting form". "The duds were few and far between," she wrote. "In the pipeline are some swipes at the royal family, and if the pictures I've seen of Ullman as a tweeded-up Camilla Parker Bowles and Carole Middleton are anything to go by, we're in for a treat." In The Telegraph, Michael Hogan described the "hit and miss" sketch show as cross between Victoria Wood and Little Britain. "The cosier skits (the animal-stealing zookeeper or accident-prone masseuse) were generic and simply not funny enough. The best material was the darker, dafter stuff, where jokes got stretched to surreal extremes, such as a war criminal going for a job interview." He concluded: "She might be 56 and rich enough to never need work again, but Ullman's lost none of her youthful bite. Welcome home." The Guardian's Sam Wollaston was less enthusiastic, describing the show as "unashamedly same-old". "It's not brave or funny enough, like a step backwards from Little Britain, 10 years after Little Britain." Steve Bennett, on the comedy website Chortle, said Tracey Ullman's Show did not feel like a classic. "Perhaps too much has been pegged on securing Ullman's talents and not enough into why this show otherwise needs to exist." Ullman last appeared on the BBC in A Kick up the Eighties and Three of a Kind in the early and mid-1980s. She also starred in ITV sitcom Girls on Top, before emigrating to the United States. The comic later created The Tracey Ullman Show for the US Fox network, winning several Emmy and Golden Globe awards. The show famously spawned cartoon series The Simpsons, which started out as short sketches either side of a commercial break. The animals are those left from 108 chimps used for biomedical research carried out by a New York-based charity, Blood Center. I took a boat ride to accompany a team of people taking food for the chimps. The animals knew when food should arrive and started to mill around the distribution point just before we got there. Samantha, in her mid 40s, is the oldest. She and two others, Mabel and Bullet, stood before a group of animals which gathered as the feeding boat arrived. Other notable names on the islands include Joyce, Stewart, Duno, Hellen, Ellie, Annie and Teta. They were very excited - shouting and making joyful noises as they jumped and swaggered up and down. As the boat zoomed in, an outburst of giggling and shouting echoed across the island, with chimps rushing out from the bush, climbing trees and joyfully descending to grab something to eat. They are given food once a day, scrambling over pumpkins, plantains, pawpaw, rice, sugar cane and pears that are brought over on the speed boat. "We don't give any of them food until all of them have gathered so that they are served together," said Joseph Thomas, a caretaker who has looked after the animals for 36 years. Mr Thomas called each chimp by name to come forward for food. As he threw coconut and cucumber to the chimps, he stroked their noses. Mr Thomas introduced me to Bullet, a middle-aged male. He was named by conservationists who rescued him and brought him to the island. As an infant in the 1980s, Bullet lost his right hand to a hunter who shot and killed his mother. As part of an effort to keep the animals alive in all weather, there is a reservoir on each of the six islands that the chimps have learned to use to fetch clean water when the dry season sets in and the river becomes dried out and salty due to infiltration from the Atlantic. "They know where to press for fresh water to shoot out to drink," Mr Thomas said. "Every one of them can operate it." He says the animals now feel closer to human beings than their compatriots in the wild. Some were born here and some have spent 25 years in captivity. Mr Thomas fears that if the chimps are put back into the wild they will go to wherever they hear the sound of humans. This, he said, makes it difficult to take them back to the jungle to live. So, he said, they are kept on islands "because chimpanzees don't swim". On another island, where nine reside, the chimps came out of the bush, each washing their hands hurriedly as the food boat arrived. Rice was served first, followed by cucumbers, pumpkins and pears. Boat operator and caretaker Julius Cooper took a pear intended for a chimp who had not received any. The fruit had been intercepted by another chimp. Mr Cooper told the chimp to return the food and he did so immediately, even if he yelled and jumped in anger. If the chimps aren't fed every day they will start eating leaves. John Abayomi Zeonyuway, administrator of the Liberia Chimpanzees Rescue Project, says this leads to constipation because the leaves are hard to digest. Eventually, he says, if they carry on eating leaves, they will die. But it is expensive to feed them - about $25,000 (£16,000) a month. That's a bill Mr Zeonyuway says that the Liberian government has not shown it is prepared to pay. The Blood Center announced they were going to stop supporting the islands in March after 40 years involvement with the chimps. In 1975 the blood bank and research facility signed a contract with the government-sponsored Liberian Biomedical Research Center to do medical tests on the chimpanzees, including studies which led to the development of a Hepatitis B vaccine. After the chimps had been tested in the lab just outside the capital, Monrovia, they were released on the islands. But the Blood Center says its research ended in 2007 and since then, it has been supporting the sanctuary on a voluntary basis until the Liberian government was able to take over. After the research institution pulled out, another group, Washington-based Humane Society, stepped in to pay on a temporary basis. The islands are now under the custody of the Liberia Institute for Biomedical Research - an animal and medical research centre that is itself struggling due to lack of funding. But fishermen inadvertently cause the chimps distress. When they go fishing near the island, the animals think food is coming their way. People in the region have come to appreciate the difficulties the animals are going through. "The feeding of these animals should be everybody's business," appealed Christine Garr, a resident of nearby Marshall Town. As she boarded a dugout canoe, she said: "The animals are our friends even though a chimpanzee is nothing to play with". The ex-London mayor and Leave campaigner said the EU was "virtually identical" after the PM's reform talks. In a speech in London, he criticised what he called the "wholly bogus" arguments in favour of remaining in. David Cameron said the UK had "the best of both worlds" in its relationship with a "reformed" EU. He also said the Leave campaign offered "no answers to the most basic questions" and warned security in Europe could be at risk if the UK voted for an exit. There are just over six weeks to go until the 23 June referendum which will decide whether Britain remains in, or leaves, the EU. Mr Johnson, one of the favourites to replace Mr Cameron as Conservative leader, was scathing about the reforms the PM secured before calling the vote. Quoting from the PM's 2013 speech in which Mr Cameron outlined his referendum plans, Mr Johnson said "nothing remotely resembling" the promised changes had been achieved. Eurosceptics had been "excited" by what had been offered, Mr Johnson said, but "quietly despaired as no reform was forthcoming". "If you look at what we were promised, and what we got, the government should logically be campaigning on our side today," he said. Mr Cameron told the BBC he had "always believed that we are better off in a reformed European Union". The reforms, he said, gave the UK "the best of both worlds" because it was in the single market but out of the euro, and people were able to travel freely but able to "keep our borders". But Mr Johnson said the government was powerless to control EU migration because "this most basic power of a state - to decide who has the right to live and work in your country - has been taken away and now resides in Brussels". The Uxbridge and South Ruislip MP said the UK would not be "leaving Europe" if it quits the EU, as he set out the "liberal cosmopolitan" case for an exit - including starting to sing Ode to Joy in German. He also reiterated the Leave campaign's desire to maintain access to the EU single market area if it leaves - saying this could be achieved without being subject to the "vast, growing and politically-driven empire of EU law". In his speech, Mr Cameron said the UK would be forced to accept freedom of movement and pay into the EU budget in exchange for single market access, adding that leaving it would be a "reckless and irresponsible course". "The Leave campaign can't answer them because they don't know the answers," he said. "They have no plan." Ecce Homo (Behold the Man) by Elias Garcia Martinez has held pride of place in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church near Zaragoza for more than 100 years. The woman took her brush to it after years of deterioration due to moisture. Cultural officials said she had the best intentions and hoped it could be properly restored. Cecilia Gimenez, who is in her 80s, was reportedly upset at the way the fresco had deteriorated and took it on herself to "restore" the image. She claimed to have had the permission of the priest to carry out the job. "(The) priest knew it! He did! How could you do something like that without permission? He knew it!" BBC Europe correspondent Christian Fraser says the delicate brush strokes of Elias Garcia Martinez have been buried under a haphazard splattering of paint. The once-dignified portrait now resembles a crayon sketch of a very hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic, he says. The woman appears to have realised she was out of her depth and contacted Juan Maria Ojeda, the city councillor in charge of cultural affairs. Teresa Garcia, granddaughter of Elias Garcia Martinez, said the woman had painted the tunic before, but the fresco got disfigured when she painted Christ's head. Art historians are expected to meet at the church soon to discuss how to proceed. Mr Ojeda said: "I think she had good intentions. Next week she will meet with a repairer and explain what kind of materials she used. "If we can't fix it, we will probably cover the wall with a photo of the painting." The fresco is not thought to be very valuable, but has a high sentimental value for local people. Our correspondent says that to make matters worse, the local centre that works to preserve artworks had just received a donation from the painter's granddaughter which they had planned to use to restore the original fresco. They were drawn in the same qualifying group for the competition, which will take place in France. Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are also together in a group, while Scotland will face competition from Switzerland. Altogether 24 teams will take part in the finals of the competition, which will be held in June 2019. The qualifying matches will take place between 11 September 2017 and 4 September 2018. The 13th edition takes place at the Harmony Gardens in Melrose. More than 100 events for people of all ages will be held over the weekend of 16 to 19 June. Thriller author Frederick Forsyth, musician Mike Rutherford, food critic Jay Rayner and comedians Phill Jupitus and Sara Pascoe are all taking part. Former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg will join fellow politicians Gordon Brown, Jim Sillars and Michael Forsyth in a series of political debates. Further highlights include chef Albert Roux, Rab C Nesbitt actor and comedian Gregor Fisher, Scottish historian Tom Devine, best-selling author and raconteur Gervase Phinn and Top Gear script writer Richard Porter. Some of our greatest writers, communicators and entertainers will appear onstage to delight the audiences for four magical days within the walls of the beautiful Harmony Gardens. Children's authors Cressida Cowell and Michael Morpurgo have also been lined up. As well as a series of talks and events, the winner of this year's £25,000 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction will also be announced as part of the festival. Alistair Moffat, festival director, said: "Some of our greatest writers, communicators and entertainers will appear onstage to delight the audiences for four magical days within the walls of the beautiful Harmony Gardens. "We look forward to a wonderful weekend of entertainment and political debate as we welcome our authors, sponsors and supporters, and most of all our audience for what will be a truly memorable festival." David Watt, Arts & Business Scotland's chief executive, said he was also looking forward to the weekend. "The Brewin Dolphin Borders Book Festival is a fantastic literary event and a wonderful addition to Scotland's festival portfolio, which is highly regarded all over the world," he said. "Arts & Business Scotland is delighted to be able to support this through the New Arts Sponsorship Grants programme and we wish the organisers every success with their 13th festival."

Investigators are now interviewing hospital staff who cared for Liberian Thomas Duncan, who died in Dallas, said Tom Frieden, of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). A woman who treated Duncan has been diagnosed with Ebola, and has been identified by US media as Nina Pham. The outbreak has killed more than 4,000 people in Africa since March. Duncan died last week in hospital in Dallas, Texas, after being diagnosed with the disease on 30 September. The World Health Organisation (WHO) warned the epidemic threatens the "very survival" of societies and could lead to failed states. The Dallas nurse being treated for Ebola contracted the virus from Duncan despite taking considerable precautions to shield herself. Ms Pham received an antibody-filled plasma infusion received from a doctor previously treated for the virus. On Sunday, Dr Frieden said a "breach of protocol" had clearly occurred, though on Monday he clarified that he had not intended to fault the nurse nor Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. "We have to rethink the way we address Ebola infection control because even a single infection is unacceptable," Dr Frieden said on Monday. How not to catch Ebola: Why Ebola is so dangerous How Ebola attacks Ebola: Mapping the outbreak The infection made the nurse the first person to contract Ebola inside the US. She is now said to be in a stable condition in hospital. Her home has been cleaned and sanitised. From an interview with the 26-year-old nurse, public health investigators have identified only a single person with whom she had contact during the period when she could have been infectious. That person, along with 48 contacts of Duncan and the healthcare workers who treated him, are being monitored for signs of the disease. "All of us have to work together to do whatever's possible to reduce the risk that any healthcare worker becomes infected," Dr Frieden said. Dr Frieden also said the CDC was encouraging all hospitals in the US to "think Ebola" when presented with patients who had Ebola-like symptoms and who had travelled within the past 21 days to Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, the three West African countries being ravaged by the disease. Surgical cap Goggles Medical mask Scrubs Overalls Apron Double gloves Boots Respirator The cap forms part of a protective hood covering the head and neck. It offers medical workers an added layer of protection, ensuring that they cannot touch any part of their face whilst in the treatment centre. Goggles, or eye visors, are used to provide cover to the eyes, protecting them from splashes. The goggles are sprayed with an anti-fogging solution before being worn. On October 21, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced stringent new guidelines for healthcare personnel who may be dealing with Ebola patients. In the new guidelines, health workers are advised to use a single use disposable full face shield as goggles may not provide complete skin coverage. Covers the mouth to protect from sprays of blood or body fluids from patients. When wearing a respirator, the medical worker must tear this outer mask to allow the respirator through. A respirator is worn to protect the wearer from a patient's coughs. According to guidelines from the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), the respirator should be put on second, right after donning the overalls. A surgical scrub suit, durable hospital clothing that absorbs liquid and is easily cleaned, is worn as a baselayer underneath the overalls. It is normally tucked into rubber boots to ensure no skin is exposed. The overalls are placed on top of the scrubs. These suits are similar to hazardous material (hazmat) suits worn in toxic environments. The team member supervising the process should check that the equipment is not damaged. A minimum two sets of gloves are required, covering the suit cuff. When putting on the gloves, care must be taken to ensure that no skin is exposed and that they are worn in such a way that any fluid on the sleeve will run off the suit and glove. Medical workers must change gloves between patients, performing thorough hand hygiene before donning a new pair. Heavy duty gloves are used whenever workers need to handle infectious waste. A waterproof apron is placed on top of the overalls as a final layer of protective clothing. Ebola health workers typically wear rubber boots, with the scrubs tucked into the footwear. If boots are unavailable, workers must wear closed, puncture and fluid-resistant shoes. Media playback is not supported on this device The race is in its final stages and Thomson has reduced the distance he trails race leader Armel Le Cleac'h to 73 nautical miles. Thomson and his team say he has set a solo 24-hour world mark of 536.81 miles in the process. The leaders have passed the Azores with under 1,300 miles left. "This new record awaits ratification by the World Sailing Speed Record Council," said Thomson's team of his efforts in the 24 hours between 06:00 GMT on Sunday to the same time on Monday. The record is held by Frechman Francois Gabart, who set it during the race's 2012-13 edition. Le Cleac'h and Thomson are now heading towards an expected Thursday finish at Sable D'Olonne on France's Atlantic coast. Media playback is not supported on this device Thomson is competing in the Vendee Globe for the fourth time and is aiming to become the first Briton to win it. Thomson had led the race for much of the early stages and broke two race records prior to being overtaken, as he reached the Cape of Good Hope in record time, but Le Cleac'h stole the lead in early December and has not relinquished his hold on the race ahead of the sprint finish. Thomson was nearly 1,000 miles behind Le Cleac'h at Christmas after his boat's hydrofoil was ripped off in mid-November, but has increased his speed since rounding Cape Horn. The electoral authorities have ruled that Ms Torres was runner-up in the first round, earlier this month. She narrowly defeated a centre-right businessman, Manuel Baldizon, who said the vote was rigged. Television comedian Jimmy Morales finished top, following a campaign against corruption. Ms Torres divorced President Alvaro Colom in 2011, when his term was coming to an end. But the Supreme Court ruled out her candidacy saying she had divorced only to bypass a constitutional ban on relatives running for president. She has now secured a place in the run-off vote, on 25 October. The final results of the 6 September presidential vote were published by Guatemala's electoral court on Tuesday. Mr Morales had 23.85% of the vote and Ms Torres 19.76%. Mr Baldizon lost the second place spot by a very narrow margin. He had 19.64%. He pulled out of the race on Monday, before the result was announced, saying the vote had been rigged. An experienced politician, Mr Baldizon led the opinion polls until August. But general discontentment with traditional politicians in the impoverished Central American nation led to his defeat and the surprising victory in the first round of Mr Morales. "Guatemala wants change and to not be governed by people with dark pasts," he said after the election. The vote was held days after President Otto Perez Molina resigned over a customs bribery scandal that led to protests across the country. Mr Perez Molina, who was constitutionally barred from running for re-election, was arrested shortly after. He denies any involvement. Prosecutors allege the scheme collected $3.8m (£2.5m) in bribes between May 2014 and April 2015, including $800,000 (£520,000) each to Mr Perez and former vice-president Roxana Baldetti, who had already been jailed. Father Mulryne, who is reported to have once earned £600,000 a year, has also taken a vow of poverty. He was ordained in Dublin on Saturday by Archbishop Joseph Augustine Di Noia, who had travelled from Rome for the ceremony. Fr Mulryne had been ordained a deacon in October last year. Belfast-born Fr Mulryne won 27 caps for Northern Ireland in a career that included spells with Norwich City and Leyton Orient. He made his debut for Manchester United in 1997 after progressing through the youth team. Unable to forge a lengthy career with the Premier League club, he moved to Norwich City in 1999, but his time at Carrow Road was plagued by injuries. He officially retired from football in 2009 and began his journey to ordination, entering the Diocesan Seminary of Saint Malachy's Belfast. He spent two years studying philosophy at Queen's University in Belfast and at the Maryvale Institute before going to the Pontifical Irish College in Rome to study theology for one year at the Gregorian University. He entered the Dominican Novitiate House in Cork in 2012. At an awards ceremony in Dubai, Maggie MacDonnell walked away with this year's Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize. The Nova Scotia-born teacher has taught for the last six years in a remote fly-in Inuit village called Salluit. Originally hesitant to take part in the competition, she saw an opportunity to draw attention to challenges facing northern indigenous communities. Ms MacDonnell knew she wanted to come back to Canada after spending five years in countries like Botswana, Tanzania and Congo, where her work focused on sports and recreation as a community development tool. Her love for sport followed her to Salluit in northern Quebec. Outside the classroom, she spent time as a coach for the Salluit Running Club. Seven Inuit youth travelled with her to Hawaii in 2016 to run a half marathon. She also helped open a fitness centre in the small community. The educator said the importance of physical activity to mental health and resilience is often undervalued. "We're on an eight month plan before we get to that race - of fundraising, of building team collaboration and team spirit. Of committing," she said of her running club. There are challenges in Salluit, with a population of about 1,400 people. Like other remote indigenous communities in Canada, there is a lack of housing. There are problems with sexual abuse and substance abuse. Teenage pregnancies are common. Six young men there committed suicides in 2015. There are few healthy escapes for the village's youth, Ms MacDonnell said, and that is why she pushed for healthy outlets. Her projects extended well beyond the classroom, from taking students hiking in national parks, to having them run a community kitchen and fundraising for diabetes prevention programs. She has also temporarily fostered some Salluit youth. "The school is not isolated from the community. You can imagine it's a silo but that just your imagination," she said. "In reality (the students are) bringing in backpacks of the issues they're dealing with. And they're also bringing their talents and gifts and resources." Ms MacDonnell brought three of her former students with her to Dubai, where she beat nine other teachers for the US$1m (£810,000) prize, following a vote by the 153-member Global Teacher Prize Academy. Ms MacDonnell is currently on leave from teaching and will be working with Kativik School Board on implementing her community development vision at a regional level. Preston Flores was seriously burned in an incident in Bedford Avenue in April last year, which was believed to have involved petrol. He was transferred to a hospital in Edinburgh where he later died. The Crown said it was satisfied the cause of his death had been established, and no FAI was needed. A spokesman for the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service said: "Following careful consideration of all the factors involved in this case, independent Crown Counsel is satisfied that the cause of the death has been established and has decided not to hold a Fatal Accident Inquiry. "The family have been advised of the result of our investigation." The 19-year-old winger, a Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, will now remain at Loftus Road until the summer of 2019. Shodipo made his debut for the R's in August and has made a total of 11 appearances so far this season. "To get this contract feels like a reward," he told the club website. Politicians have no power to enforce a break-up, but the landmark vote sends a clear message to European regulators to get tough on the net giant. US politicians and trade bodies have voiced their dismay at the vote. The ultimate decision will rest with EU competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager. She has inherited the anti-competitive case lodged by Google's rivals in 2010. Google has around 90% market share for search in Europe and rivals asked the commission to investigate four areas: Predecessor Joaquin Almunia tried and failed to settle the case. A series of concessions made by Google were rejected, leading Mr Almunia to suggest that the only option was a fine. This could be up to $5bn. The Commission has never before ordered the break-up of any company, and many believe it is unlikely to do so now. But politicians are desperate to find a solution to the long-running anti-competitive dispute with Google. The motion brought by Andreas Schwab, a German Christian Democrat, and Spanish liberal Ramon Tremosa stated that the best way to resolve the row with the net giant was to separate search engines from other commercial services thereby ensuring a level playing field for rivals in Europe. Edinho, whose full name is Edson Cholbi Nascimento, was detained in his home in the city of Santos on Tuesday. He was sentenced to 33 years in prison in May for laundering money raised from drug trafficking, but was allowed to remain free pending his appeal. Police said his arrest was to prevent him from fleeing the country after he had failed to hand over his passport to the authorities as requested. Edinho, who is Pele's third son from his first marriage, said he had lost the document. Police said the 43-year-old, who used to play as a goalkeeper for his father's former club, Santos, did not offer any resistance when he was taken into custody. Edinho was found guilty of having links with a notorious drug gang in the city of Santos, in Sao Paulo state. While he admitted buying drugs from the gang, he denied working with them. His lawyer, Sidney Goncalves, said he would ask for his client to be released. "News of his arrest came as a surprise," Mr Goncalves said. Mr Goncalves said keeping Edinho in custody was "unnecessary" as his passport had been cancelled and his client therefore had no way of leaving the country. Edinho's father, Pele, is widely acknowledged to be the greatest footballer of his generation, winning the World Cup with the Brazilian national squad in 1958, 1962 and 1970. O'Hare beat the record set by John Robson as he clocked 3.33.61 in Monaco on Friday to better Robson's 3.33.83 set in 1979. It sets the British champion and double European medallist up for next month's World Championships in London. Meanwhile, fellow Scot Laura Muir was comfortably beaten by Kenyan Hellen Obiri in the women's 3,000m. The race was ideal preparation for O'Hare when he forms part of an all-Scottish GB and NI selection for the World Championships in the 1500m alongside Jake Wightman and Josh Kerr. European indoor 1500m and 3,000m champion Muir was up against her fierce rival, Obiri - the 2016 Olympic 5,000m silver medallist - in the 3,000m. Muir, who will contest both the 1500m and the 5,000m at next month's World Championships, was sent a clear message by the in-form Kenyan. Obiri clocked an impressive eight minutes 23.14 seconds to secure a huge victory over compatriot Beatrice Chepkoech as Muir ran a personal best time of 8:30:64 but finished third. Fellow Scot Eilish McColgan also ran a lifetime best as she put in a late change to take fourth in a time of 8:31:39. Lynsey Sharp came sixth in a time of 1:58:01 - a season's best performance. She said she found it "incredible how contemporary the song feels" and was "proud" of former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney for writing it. Stella told the BBC Radio 4 show that music had been "the driving force in every moment of our childhood". For her book choice, she also chose Sir Paul's memoir Japanese Jailbird, written by him but never released. The manuscript - detailing what happened in 1980 when the star spent nine days in a Japanese jail for a drugs offence - has been locked away for decades with the only copies given to his children, something that Stella said she finds "very beautiful". She went on: "I just think it makes me remember family and it would make me also remember freedom." The 45-year-old also praised the late David Bowie after choosing his song Starman as one of her tracks. "What an amazing talent and again so modern, so relevant and so individual. What an incredible, individual voice he had," she said. Speaking about Blackbird - on the 1968 album The Beatles - Stella said the track had "never aged", which she described as shocking. "I'm really proud of dad that he wrote it at such a young age, he had this sort of incredible vision to understand politics, to understand poetry," she added. She recalled how music was a huge influence on her childhood and her father would come home every day from the studio and she would listen to what he had created. Stella spoke of meeting many famous faces from the music world, such as Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson, who all had "an incredible influence" on her. The designer told the programme she often used the name Stella Martin while at school and studying at London's Central Saint Martins college to avoid being recognised. Her final year show in college hit the headlines after famous faces such as Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Yasmin Le Bon wore her designs on the catwalk. "I look back on that moment and just feel a bit embarrassed that I was so naive," she said. The designer went on to defend some of the expensive price tags on items in her fashion range. When asked about the "ethics" and "morals" of someone paying thousands for a dress, she said: "Look at some of my competitors and that's probably fairly well-priced. "I mean, I do struggle with that concept, but I work really hard to have a lot of products that are available on a better price point."

Each dog has an individual room with an armchair, bed, outdoor run and even under floor heating after money was left by a supporter after they died. Fundraising manager Nicky Owen said: "I think they are very happy." The charity rescues about 1,800 animals a year and the retirement home is for older dogs which are more difficult to find new homes for. Animal welfare manager Karen Weed said: "You don't want to see older dogs in the kennels. It's not the place for them. "So we are trying to make it as nice as possible." The retirement village officially opens at the start of December. "If seeing is believing, I couldn't believe the condition of the camp," says Rabbi Harry Jacobi, 90, as he meets some of the 400 children who call the Jungle home. "This is not a concentration camp... yet I feel so furious. I am ashamed with the whole of Europe not doing enough for the refugees here. This camp should be closed tomorrow." Earlier this week, the 90-year-old rabbi and peer Alf Dubs - two men who were once refugees themselves - travelled to the camp to meet a new generation in peril. The men met "Ashraf" and "Misaq" from Afghanistan who have lived in the Jungle for eight months. They tell the boys about their personal refugee journeys. Rabbi Jacobi fled Nazi Germany when he was 13 and never saw his parents again. Labour peer Lord Dubs was aged just six but was later reunited with his mother and father. In turn, the boys tell them what they think will be good about life in Britain - school and playing cricket, like they did at home. The youngsters ask how long they have to wait to get to Britain. "We're going to do our best, we're pushing hard to make the government do it quickly," says Lord Dubs. "It's a great country. I hope you get there soon." Misaq says his father was killed by the Taliban - "Bomb, bomb" he says in the few words of English he knows. His mother is back in Afghanistan and he has little contact with her. Both had made it across Asia and Europe after their families paid people smugglers. Every night the boys say they are afraid - particularly of people who drink. "Please tell him we were forced to leave. We haven't come here through our own will, we were forced out and this isn't somewhere we should be. You are the first one to come here properly and ask us what we want, we want to thank you," they say to their visitors via a translator. Lord Dubs says he can identify with one of the boys. "He was about the same age I was when I came on the train from Prague," he explains. According to charity Citizens UK, the two boys both have a legal claim to come to Britain, after the High Court ruled that asylum applications for children with a relative in Britain should be dealt with by the UK so they can be reunited. For months, Lord Dubs lobbied the government to do more to help these children and others in Europe's migrant crisis - and last month it finally agreed to do so. His campaign continues because there is no certainty yet how many children will eventually come to the UK - or how soon. Number 10's position is that the first arrivals are expected "before the end of the year". Lord Dubs and Rabbi Jacobi said the government's commitment was not enough. "I think I am far more determined than ever to push the British government to say, 'Look, these are young, unaccompanied, refugee children here, the amendment in Parliament was designed to deal with those children, to help them get to Britain, we should get a move on,'" he says. "The conditions are intolerable for children to be on their own, we shouldn't as a civilised continent allow this to go on for another day longer." Almost 90,000 unaccompanied minors seeking asylum in Europe Most are male and aged between 16 and 17 13% are under 14 and some as young as eight or nine years old Two largest nationalities are Afghan and Syrian Source: Eurostat As conflict with Nazi Germany loomed - and it became increasingly apparent that Europe's Jews weren't safe - the UK took in 10,000 of their children. The last ship arrived two days before war was declared. Many of these children, like Rabbi Jacobi, who was 13, never saw their parents again. He had initially escaped in 1939 from Berlin to Holland, which was invaded by the Germans the following year. "So we were anxiously waiting what would happen to us, and Holland was unprepared," he explains. "So on 15 May, five days after the invasion, it looked as if Holland would be occupied and a non-Jewish woman persuaded a cargo boat captain to take us away," he said. "We had no idea where we would go... but five days after leaving Holland we arrived at Liverpool." Lord Dubs' escape from the then-Czechoslovakia was different. Aged six, his father had already made it to the UK - and his mother was also later able to flee. "I can still see her standing at Prague station, German soldiers with Swastikas," he said. "I was one of the youngest. I didn't fully realise what was going on - but when we got to the Holland border the older children cheered. I knew it was significant but I didn't know why." The Kindertransport is a story of the triumph of hope in the face of the worst possible odds. So what's it got to do with Calais? The circumstances are completely different - but many of the Kindertransport veterans say the moral imperative to act is the same. Home Office officials in London must now find homes in Britain for both eligible Calais children, but also an unspecified number from France, Italy and Greece under the commitment given by the prime minister to Lord Dubs. But just 33 of 157 identified in Calais have so far moved to the UK - and many cases could take months to resolve because of the proof needed by officials. Liz Clegg, from the charity Help Refugees, says children have been killed in lorries and by traffic around the camp because of their determination not to remain in France. "They are too young and they have been told by people at home to go to the UK. "So we can't stop them from attempting to get on the lorries or go to the trains," she says. "They are on a mission. Any one of these children could die tonight." Watch the Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel. Staffordshire-born Trent died in hospital in Menorca on Saturday after a long illness, her spokesman said. She topped the charts as a singer in 1965 with Where Are You Now (My Love). With ex-husband Tony Hatch, Trent also wrote material for Shirley Bassey, and Stoke City's 1972 League Cup final song We'll Be With You. Born Yvonne Burgess in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Trent began her career on stage as a child, going on to sing in British Legion and working men's clubs, and for troops around Europe. She secured her first recording contract in the early 1960s in London, where she met Hatch at an audition. The collaboration saw them write more than 400 songs, with Jack Jones, Nancy Wilson, Des O'Connor, Val Doonican, Vikki Carr, and Dean Martin among the other stars to take on their material. Petula Clark's 1966 song I Couldn't Live Without Your Love was inspired by the couple's then affair. They later went public with their relationship, marrying the following year. Their celebration of Stoke City's cup-winning run was released under the club's nickname of The Potters and reached number 34 in the UK charts. It is still played at all Stoke City home games. Trent and Hatch went on to write the theme song to Neighbours while based in Australia in the early 1980s but separated in 1995, before divorcing in 2002. In later life, Trent made a return to the stage, touring the UK in the musical High Society, and in 2004 played a series of concerts. She married Colin Gregory in November 2005, and the couple lived in Spain. Last year Trent advised two writers producing a musical based on her yet-to-be published autobiography. The show is due to open at Stoke-on-Trent Repertory Theatre in May 2015. The jobs will be filled over the next three years and bring BDO's employment levels in Northern Ireland to more than 200 people by 2018. The project will be supported with a grant of £217,000 from Invest NI. Peter Burnside, managing partner of BDO Northern Ireland, said the new positions will contribute more than £1m a year to the local economy. "As an established local firm we are committed to investing in and developing the local marketplace, creating as many employment opportunities as we can," he said. "At BDO Northern Ireland, we provide careers, not just jobs, and this contract enables us to create up to 43 new positions that will contribute over £1m per annum to the local economy. "With 12 of the roles already filled, we are continuing to recruit and greatly appreciate all the support provided by Invest NI." Mr Morgan claims the Welsh government spent £10m improving roads to Cardiff Bay on the understanding the BBC would build HQ premises there. A BBC Cymru Wales spokesman said Mr Morgan was "mistaken". The broadcaster announced this week it would move to Central Square by 2018. In his weekly column in the Western Mail newspaper Mr Morgan claims the Welsh government agreed to invest £10m in new roads before building work on BBC Wales' Roath Lock drama village began. He said the investment was agreed in a discussion with the former BBC Wales executive Nigel Walker. Following that conversation Mr Morgan said he understood that at some point in the future BBC Wales would relocate its headquarters to the Roath Lock site - but admits he made no record of the conversation. Nigel Walker was the project director the drama village development at the time, and has since left the corporation. In an interview with BBC Wales Mr Morgan said the agreement was made when the BBC was considering two sites for its new drama village, at Roath basin in the bay, and the former Freeman's cigar factory site on Penarth Road. "We agreed with the BBC that we would put money into covering the road access - about £10 million - because the Penarth Road site could not provide the basis of a Welsh media city," he said. "Since we agreed that we would put the £10m in in order to create a Welsh media city - not just a drama village, there's been a breach of faith here," argued Mr Morgan. "The BBC should look at its conscience and say - well we may be able to wriggle out of this legally - but actually we do owe £10m as well as an apology to the Welsh government and to the licence fee payers for choosing a more expensive option than the Freemans cigars factory for the drama village." A spokesman for BBC Cymru Wales said Mr Morgan was mistaken and insisted no agreement, either formal or informal, was made between Mr Walker and Mr Morgan regarding the relocation of BBC Wales' HQ. "The suggestion that a single individual in the BBC could make such a commitment doesn't stand up to scrutiny," the spokesman said. "Our decision - announced this week - to relocate our HQ in Wales followed years of careful analysis by a wide range of staff across the BBC, and an open competitive tender process that included more than a dozen potential locations across Cardiff. "We believe our decision to relocate to Capital Square will deliver a significant economic and creative dividend to Wales, strengthening Wales' credentials as a world class production centre." The Welsh government did not wish to comment. Mr Walker has also declined to comment. The 31-year-old has been with Edinburgh since 2007 and has featured in 152 matches. Scotland's most-capped forward, Kelso-born Ford made his 97th international appearance in the 36-20 Six Nations win over Italy on Saturday. Edinburgh also announced new deals for props Allan Dell and Simon Berghan. Loose-head Dell, 23, has committed for another two years and tight-head Berghan, 25, has agreed terms for next season. Both qualify for Scotland via a grandparent. Ford, who along with Edinburgh team-mates WP Nel and Alasdair Dickinson is established in Scotland's first choice front row, says the influence of head coach Alan Solomons, who joined the club in 2013, was significant in keeping him in the capital. "It was really how the club was going and where we've come from since Alan came in," Ford told BBC Scotland. "There was a lot of rebuilding done, in terms of the way we played. But we had a good run in the European Challenge Cup last year [Edinburgh reached the final] and we're positioned well in the league just now [fifth, four points off the play-off places]. "We're seeing that work coming to fruition with the young boys in the squad coming through. I believe we've got a chance to win trophies with this team going forward and I want to be part of that." Ford will be 34 at the end of his new deal, but does not necessarily view it as his last. "I feel good just now; I'm fit, I'm playing well so I'm quite happy," he added. "Come the end of the contract we'll see how I'm feeling at that point and take it from there, but I'm happy with how it's going ." Ford's Edinburgh team-mate Stuart McInally, 25, replaced him for the final 16 minutes of Scotland's Six Nations victory against Italy in Rome, while a third Edinburgh hooker - 23-year-old George Turner - was also involved in Scotland's wider training squad. "It helps me play better having that pressure to perform well with the younger boys coming through," he added. "If I can help them get better, it helps us as a group going forward to keep the standards high." His publisher said in a statement on Tuesday: "With immense sadness, MacMillan announces the death of Colin Dexter who died peacefully at his home in Oxford this morning." His series of 13 Morse novels, written between 1975 and 1999, were adapted for the long-running ITV series, which starred John Thaw. Dexter's characters also featured in spin-off shows Lewis and Endeavour. He wrote his first Morse novel, Last Bus to Woodstock, in 1975 while on holiday in Wales. The fictional detective was then killed off in the final book, The Remorseful Day. Inspector Morse and Lewis star Kevin Whately described him as "impish and bubbly and always fascinated with everybody and everything". He told BBC Oxford: "I think I'm incredibly lucky to have had 30 years of his friendship. He would always turn up - he loved being on set with us, and we loved having him there. He was a very warm, benign presence always." Whately joked: "We used to give him a little role, give him the odd line to say, but he was so awful at speaking and acting that we only let him walk through the shot." Sheila Hancock, Thaw's widow, told BBC Radio 4's Front Row: "He did say to me a couple of times that he really did feel that John was the character and the character was John. It sort of evolved between them. In fact, I think one of the reasons he killed Morse off is he didn't want to imagine anyone else playing the part." She described Dexter as a "remarkably well-read and clever man", as well as a "bubbly guy" who "just seemed to enjoy life so much" and "loved to laugh". Maria Rejt, Dexter's most recent editor at MacMillan, said the author had "inspired all those who worked with him", adding: "His loyalty, modesty and self-deprecating humour gave joy to many. His was the sharpest mind and the biggest heart, and his wonderful novels and stories will remain a testament to both." Kevin Lygo, director of television at ITV, said Inspector Morse was "one of the nation's best-loved shows", with Thaw's "irascible detective with a love for crosswords, real ale and classical music" becoming one of the most popular characters of all time. "Through 33 feature length stories, the casebook of Morse and Lewis changed the landscape of detective drama," he said. Dexter worked closely behind the scenes of the show and later became a consultant on Lewis, the sequel starring Whately which ran for nine years. He was also "one of the key creative forces" behind prequel Endeavour - the inspector's first name - which saw Shaun Evans appear as the young Morse. MacMillan's publisher Jeremy Trevathan added that Dexter's death represented a "tectonic shift in the international crime writing scene". He said: "Colin represented the absolute epitome of British crime writing, and in the 1990s John Thaw's Inspector Morse took over Wednesday night television. He was one of those television characters who the nation took to their hearts. This is a very sad day for us all." Fellow crime writers paid tribute on Twitter. Lynda La Plante said of the late author: "Colin Dexter, a masterful writer and storyteller who entertained millions of readers." Ian Rankin said: "Sad news - a gentle man with a steel mind; and the creator of such an iconic character..." Val McDermid said: "Deeply sorry to hear of the death of my good friend Colin Dexter. He brought pleasure to millions and joy to his friends." Maxim Jakubowski, vice-chairman of the Crime Writers' Association told the BBC: "He will be remembered not just as a superlative crime writer and the creator of such a classic character as Inspector Morse, but also as the most convivial of friends, impish, friendly to all, seldom seen in public without a smile, a man who accepted celebrity late in his life with wonderful dignity and humour." Norman Colin Dexter was born in 1930 in Stamford, Lincolnshire, and studied classics at Cambridge University. He worked as a Latin and Greek teacher from 1954 to 1966 before moving to Oxford - where he set the Morse stories - to become a full-time writer. Carlton Productions made 33 Morse TV films with Thaw in the lead role. Dexter himself made many cameo appearances. Dexter had type 2 diabetes, a condition that he also gave Morse in the last few books of the series. When Dexter received an OBE for services to literature in 2000, he said he would have liked to have thought his fictional detective would have bought him a celebratory whisky. "I think Morse, if he had really existed and was still alive, would probably say to me, 'Well, you didn't do me too bad a service in your writing'. "He might say, 'I wish you'd made me a slightly less miserable blighter and slightly more generous, and you could have painted me in a little bit of a better light'. "If he had bought me a drink, a large Glenfiddich or something, that would have been very nice, but knowing him I doubt he would have done - Lewis always bought all the drinks."

It will form part of a planning application the City of Edinburgh Council will submit next year. It wants the public to give their views on the artist's impression showing a striking, gold-coloured building. There is an online survey and two public information events at Meadowbank Sports Centre on 17 November and 22 November both between 15:00 and 20:00. Current proposals for the new sports centre include: •An outdoor athletics track with a 500 seat stand •Two multi-sport games halls •Three fitness studios •A gym •A gymnastics hall •Two squash courts •A combat studio for martial arts •A boxing gym with ring •A 60m six lane indoor athletics track and jumps space •An outdoor athletics track with jumps space •An outdoor throwing area •Two FIFA 1 3G (all weather) pitches - one which will be in the centre of the athletics track •Cafe and meeting rooms The new centre will be partly funded by a residential and commercial development on parts of the existing site. This will include development of affordable and low cost housing. In addition to the planning application for the new sports complex, a masterplan for the wider site development will be submitted with the aim of gaining outline planning permission. Richard Lewis, City of Edinburgh Council's culture and sport convener, said: "We want the new Meadowbank Stadium and Sports Centre to be a venue fit for the 21st Century and the public's views on our proposals are key to this. "Transforming Meadowbank into a brand new sports complex would provide a modern, fully accessible high quality sports centre for sports clubs and the local community. "I would urge everyone to tell us what they think about the range of facilities being proposed and the masterplan." The existing Meadowbank was originally built for Edinburgh's 1970 Commonwealth Games. The visitors, who are bidding for a record sixth successive Scudetto, came from behind to move seven points clear. Torino had led when top scorer Andrea Belotti thumped in a header from Daniele Baselli's right-wing cross. But Gonzalo Higuain levelled before the break when he swept Mario Mandzukic's pass into Hart's bottom corner. The Juventus striker put the visitors ahead with eight minutes left when he spun a defender on the edge of the Torino box before clinically drilling in a low strike. He was denied a hat-trick by Hart in stoppage time, only for Miralem Pjanic to seal victory by hammering in the rebound at the second attempt. Juve's advantage will be reduced when second-placed Roma host third-placed AC Milan, who are both on 32 points from 15 matches, at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday. With many Manchester City supporters questioning the merits of replacing Joe Hart with former Barcelona keeper Claudio Bravo, the England international had the opportunity to show them - and Pep Guardiola - what they were missing in the highest-profile game so far of his season-long loan at Torino. True, Hart conceded three goals. But the home side could have leaked more without him. The 29-year-old brilliantly denied Mario Mandzukic when the game was still goalless, preventing a deflected shot beating him with an instinctive save low to his left. Hart dealt with almost everything else thrown at him by the champions, commanded his area and was comfortable in possession, as well as showing his undoubted shot-stopping ability. And Pjanic's goal was particularly harsh on the keeper, who made a superb double stop from Higuain and the Bosnian midfielder before being beaten. Although Torino offered a sporadic attacking threat themselves, the seventh-placed home side will feel the scoreline was still somewhat harsh as they lost to their neighbours for the fourth straight game. Belgium international Dries Mertens scored a hat-trick to lead fourth-placed Napoli to a 5-0 win at Cagliari. Marek Hamsik and Piotr Zielinski also netted as the visitors equalled their record Serie A away win. Inter Milan moved up to eighth as Croatia midfielder Marcelo Brozovic scored twice in a 2-0 win against 13th-placed Genoa at the San Siro. Bottom club Palermo slumped to their ninth league defeat in a row, losing 2-0 at home to Chievo. Sixth-placed Atalanta lost for the second game running - after winning their previous seven - in a 3-1 home defeat by Udinese, while Bologna drew 0-0 with fellow strugglers Empoli.

The RSS is also the self-styled custodian of Hindu culture, and helped propel Narendra Modi to power, mobilising its vast membership to canvas on his behalf. It boasts that it is the largest voluntary organisation in the world with six million members. But the RSS has always been an exception to the time-honoured rule that nationalists have the best uniforms. RSS members are obliged to wear the kind of khaki shorts you would normally expect to see on a boy scout. Shorts of any kind are rarely "fashion forward", but the RSS's version are particularly unstylish. They are pleated and cut to flare out at the bottom: apparently designed to make even the most muscular legs seem scrawny, and the most slim-lined knees seem knobbly. But that is set to change. The Indian press is reporting that the RSS are going to shed their shorts once and for all in a bid to attract more young people. The Indian Express quotes a senior "pracharak" - full time RSS worker - as saying that the two main leaders of the organisation are in favour of a new dress code. The plan is, the newspaper says, to replace the organisation's breezy shorts with full length trousers. "No, it hasn't suddenly decided to stop singing paeans to cow urine or denouncing beef", opines India's online news site, Scroll. "It's the khaki shorts, the leadership has decided. That's what's keeping the youth from signing up for early morning PT and minority bashing." The sartorial shortcomings of the RSS are surprising, given that the inspiration for the founding of the organisation lay in the example of the fascist movements in interwar Europe. RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar is said to have borrowed from Mussolini's fascist black shirts for the movement's uniform. He might have been better following the sharper stylings of the Nazis, whose black leather coats, peaked caps and jodhpurs are still the last word in far-right haute couture. So what is a fashion-conscious swayamsewak (or RSS follower) likely to be wearing in the years to come? Apparently the RSS leadership has been discussing different colour combinations and trouser styles. But changing the uniform is a weighty decision. There are reckoned to be some 50,000 "shakhas" or branches of the RSS. Even on the conservative assumption that each one has just 10 regular swayamsewaks that means the organisation needs to find half a million pairs of trousers. When the RSS replaced its canvas belt with a leather one in 2010, a shortage of belts meant even that change took two years to implement. And it is not clear why the organisation feels it needs to burnish its allure now. The RSS claims its "saffron" ideology is more popular than ever. Recruitment has been steadily increasing. It says half a million new members signed up in 2013 and 600,000 in 2014, but since no official rolls are published those figures are impossible to confirm. But whatever the swayamsewaks end up wearing, there is no question that under Narendra Modi the RSS plays a crucial role in the government of India. Mr Modi had his political consciousness shaped by the organisation. As a young man he was a full time volunteer in the group and he has credited it for his work ethic, self-discipline and political success. BJP President Amit Shah and seven members of the cabinet are former RSS members, including Home Minister Rajnath Singh - the architect of the government's controversial policy of banning cow slaughter. The RSS sees itself as an army battling for India's soul. It seems it will soon also be an army in long trousers. The so-called Brexit could mean a change to rules governing the signing of players from other EU countries. "We've maybe got seven or eight players who fall into that category, but how would they do it?" said Canning. "Would it be done from day one or from renewing a contract? It would definitely affect us in that case." A BBC report has highlighted that none of the 53 non-British EU players currently in the Scottish Premiership would qualify for a work permit on the basis of their international career alone. Professor Raymond Boyle, a sports industry expert from the University of Glasgow, has suggested that the rules would be watered down to make it easier for non-EU players to come here - as is the case with Norway and Switzerland. But Canning, whose club have regularly in recent years complimented their academy graduates with players from abroad, admits it would possibly change their thought process with potential signings. "One of the first things we do when we look at a player from overseas is ask the question - do they need a work permit?" he told BBC Scotland. "If that's the case, we generally don't go down that route, so that would definitely have an impact on the club. "For us to attract an international player that would get the work permit would be difficult, so it would make it a lot more difficult to bring in foreign players. "Whether that would encourage you to bring through your own, it's something we try and do anyway. I think there's a balance to be struck." Delhi recorded the coldest day of the season on Monday at 4.2C. "On a fogged out Monday, when the minimum temperature plunged to a season's low of 4.2 degrees Celsius, Delhi was colder than hill stations such as Mussoorie and Shimla," The Times of India says. Travellers, however, were caught in "nightmarish" situation as more than 300 flights and 250 trains were delayed after thick fog enveloped the city, the Hindustan Times reports. "Flights were delayed between 15 minutes and two hours. Some passengers were stuck inside planes and even in the air," the paper quotes an airport official as saying. There may be no respite in the next few days with weather authorities predicting "foggy days till 29 December", the paper adds. Railway services were equally impacted with some trains delayed by up to 24 hours, reports say. Many passengers were stranded at railway stations in the cold weather conditions waiting for their trains to arrive. "Utter chaos was seen at New Delhi railway station on Monday as many trains were running behind schedule due to fog. What made matters worse for those waiting in the harsh cold was lack of clarity over when trains would arrive," The Times of India reports. Angry passengers complained about lack of cooperation from railway authorities, reports say. "My train, Poorva Express, is late by four hours. Even the railway staff is not cooperating in giving us information. When we went to the inquiry counter, the teller started abusing us," the paper quotes Amit Kumar, a passenger, as saying. The Deccan Herald, meanwhile, reports loss of lives in "cold-related incidents" in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. "Cold-related incidents have so far killed 60, while reports of 10 more deaths coming from different parts of the state in the past 24 hours," the paper says. Reports say most among the dead were homeless people. In some political news, leaders of regional parties demonstrated against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in Delhi on Monday, The Indian Express reports. Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Lalu Prasad Yadav and the Janata Dal (United)'s Nitish Kumar pledged unity against the BJP during the demonstration. "From our identities as separate parties, we have to merge in a single party. An agreement has been reached on this," the paper quotes Mr Kumar as saying. These parties are against the government's economic and social welfare policies. And finally, around 71% of the disabled children in India live in rural areas, according to the latest census report released on Monday. "India has over 2 million disabled children aged between 0 and 6 years. Around 71% of them - 1.4 million children - are in rural areas," The Times of India says.

He added: "We would expect to see four or five around the Scottish Islands, but not necessarily around here. "It's looking more like it's actually quite enjoying the area and feeding. "They tend to move to the colder waters that are more productive, where they are catching smaller fish to feed on, and then they move to warmer waters where the calves are born." The Boundary Commission for Scotland is consulting on proposals to create three new constituencies. Fears raised include difficulties for MPs servicing larger constituencies and the break-up of traditional areas. The commission, whose consultation runs until 11 January, said it recognised "there may be tensions in some areas" over the planned changes. UK Parliament boundaries are to be changed under plans to reduce the number of MPs from 650 to 600. No changes are to be made to the boundary of the Western Isles constituency, Na h-Eileanan an Iar. The three new Highlands constituencies are to be known as Argyll, Bute and Lochaber; Inverness and Skye; and Highland North. The seat of Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey is to be largely absorbed into the new Inverness and Skye. Part of Lochaber would form Argyll, Bute and Lochaber. Highland North would be the UK's largest-ever constituency, covering Caithness, Sutherland, Wester Ross and Easter Ross. Highland councillor Audrey Sinclair said it would be difficult for an MP to service such a big area. She said: "I feel sorry for the constituents because just how often would they see an MP? "Also, the person who is actually elected would have a very difficult job to make sure that they do cover all the area." Lyn Kilpatrick, of Kilmallie in Lochaber, said communities and community assets would be lost from the traditional area of Lochaber. The boundary changes would, for example, see the base of Lochaber Rugby Club inside the new constituency of Inverness and Skye, she said. She added: "It may seem a marginal issue, but I think it is important. The commission says itself that it tries to retain people's traditional communities and people's sense of who they are and what they belong to for UK parliamentary purposes." Full reviews of UK Parliament constituencies are carried out every five years and Scottish Parliament boundaries about every 10 years, with interim reviews of selected areas sooner if considered necessary. Isobel Drummond Murray, of the Boundary Commission, said: "Part of the change is to balance a legislative requirement with coming up with sensible proposals. "There may be tensions in some areas and Scotland certainly has challenging geography in places and the commission is aware of these challenges." The chair of the Public Accounts Committee, Margaret Hodge, said whistleblowers had told her that Google had sold advertising within the UK and invoiced customers in the UK. Google had earlier said that UK customers paid Google in Ireland. "No one in the UK can execute transactions," said Google's head of sales in Northern Europe, Matt Brittin. "No money changes hands," he said, despite the fact that he employed sales staff in Britain. But Ms Hodge said: "It was quite clear from all that documentation that the entire trading process and sales process took place in the UK." She read from the official guide to parliamentary procedure, Erskine May: "A person prevaricating or giving false evidence can be considered to be in contempt of the House." And she said: "We will continue to have whistleblowers until we get to the bottom of the truth about all this." Google's sales in the UK are worth £3.2bn, but most are routed through Dublin. In 2011 it paid £6m in UK corporation tax. Google is one of several multinational companies that have been strongly criticised in recent months for organising their tax affairs in ways that minimise the amounts they pay in the UK. Amongst them is online retailer Amazon, whose UK subsidiary paid £2.4m in corporate taxes last year, despite making sales of £4.3bn, and Starbucks, which has also gone to great lengths to minimise its tax bills, though it has been pressured to agree to pay more than it used to. All three, as well as others, have previously appeared before the Public Accounts Committee, and they have attracted much criticism in spite of their insistence that they are operating within the law. Prime Minister David Cameron has described such "aggressive" tax avoidance as "immoral", while the leader of the Labour party, Ed Miliband, sees it as "evidence of a culture of corporate irresponsibility among certain firms which is totally unacceptable". Mr Brittin maintained that any advertiser in Europe would deal directly with Google in Dublin, which employs some 3,000 staff. "When we came to Europe, we set up Dublin as our European headquarters," said Mr Brittin "We wanted to be able to contract with customers across the whole of Europe, not just the UK. "Any customer that spends with us, they have to buy from Ireland, because that's where the intellectual property sits." HMRC's director general for business tax, Jim Harra, would like to see the system changed. "Corporate tax affairs are operated by an international framework that the UK and other countries are subject to," he said. "That international framework has not kept up with changes in the economy, particularly in the digital economy. That affects companies like Google and Amazon. "This, he said, had enabled companies to place their various activities in jurisdictions with favourable taxation systems, and thus they are able to reduce their tax burdens. "Those international rules need to be looked at," he said. The club tweeted to apologise for "any unintentional offence". A fire ripped through Bradford City's home ground during the 1985 match against Lincoln City, killing 54 Bradford City fans, two Lincoln fans and injuring many more. The fire is thought to have been started accidentally by a cigarette. Responding on Twitter, Blackpool fans said it was "totally insensitive" and showed a "lack of thought and care" but Bradford City fan Andy Walker said "no offence was meant or taken". Kyel Reid scored the only goal of the game on Saturday as Bradford City moved to within a point of the play-off spots with victory over relegation-threatened Blackpool at Bloomfield Road. He said he had no intention of offending anyone and respected sexual diversity. Ms Campero, a 29-year-old doctor, has been the subject of similar comments by other senior Bolivian politicians. Mr Morales made the comments during an official ceremony in the northern province of Beni. He noticed Ms Campero was talking to another woman and was not paying attention to his speech. Mr Morales interrupted his speech and said: "I don't want to think that you're a lesbian. Listen to me." His comments prompted reactions from gay and lesbian organisations in the Andean nation. "And if the minister was a lesbian? What would be the problem?" questioned Bolivia's Network of Lesbian Women pressure group. Mr Morales issued a statement saying he apologised "humbly and sincerely" if he had offended anyone, adding: "We respect diversity and that is clear in our constitution." Bolivia has a gender equality law and many women occupy high-profile political posts. But they have on several occasions had to deal with sexist comments. Ms Campero was told by Vice-President Alvaro Garcia during a recent event to "get married". In March, the mayor of a small town said during a rally that she should move in as a maid. She responded by tweeting a picture of bisexual Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and a message: "I won't be silenced, I won't be submissive. It's a pity that there are still sexists in our ranks." The 44-year-old has been in a coaching role at Everton since leaving Conference side Southport, who he guided to the third round of this season's FA Cup, in January. Brabin has previously managed Cambridge and Luton Town, guiding both clubs to the Conference play-off places. Tranmere, without a manager since Micky Adams departed in mid-April, lost their League status with one game to go. Alan Rogers and academy boss Shaun Garnett were put in caretaker charge following Adams' departure, but were unable to prevent the club being relegated out of the Football League with a 3-2 defeat at Plymouth on 25 April. "I have had approaches from other clubs and declined them, but the Tranmere job is special," said Brabin. "The chance to lead one of the three famous old Merseyside clubs back to where it belongs in the Football League is a fantastic challenge that is hard to resist." Rovers chairman Mark Palios stated that Brabin was their "main target" to take over, but has not disclosed the length of his contract. MH370 disappeared while flying to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board in 2014. Australia, Malaysia and China called off their hunt for the jet in January. Analysing drift modelling of a real Boeing 777 wing part for the first time, scientists backed a December report about MH370's likely location. That location is an area of approximately 25,000 sq km (9,700 sq miles) lying north of the earlier search zone in the southern Indian Ocean. "Testing an actual flaperon [wing part] has added an extra level of assurance to the findings from our earlier drift modelling work," said Dr David Griffin, from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). Earlier modelling had used replicas of a flaperon recovered from Reunion Island, the report said. "We've found that an actual flaperon goes about 20 degrees to the left, and faster than the replicas, as we thought it might," Dr Griffin said. "The arrival of MH370's flaperon at La Reunion in July 2015 now makes perfect sense." Last year, Australia's Transport Minister Darren Chester said the December report would not be grounds for a new search because it did not give a "specific location" for the aircraft. Speaking on Friday, he reiterated that position but said the report had been sent to Malaysia for consideration. "Malaysia is the lead investigator and any future requests in relation to searching for MH370 would be considered by Australia, at that time." Speaking on BBC Radio Ulster's Nolan show, Lord Ken Maginnis condemned "unnatural" and "deviant" practices. "Lord Maginnis was speaking in a personal capacity without our knowledge or permission, and his comments do not reflect Ulster Unionist Party policy," the party said in a short statement. A gay and bisexual charity has said his remarks are "reprehensible." However, speaking later Lord Maginnis said: "I am not ashamed of what I said, I'm not ashamed of the stance I took." John O'Doherty, director of the Rainbow Project said: "At a time when an Equality Commission survey has found that negative attitudes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans gender people in Northern Ireland have significantly hardened it is reprehensible that a senior politician should claim that people in loving and committed relationships are 'unnatural' and deviant.' "Many LGB&T people feel isolated and vulnerable in their communities and the ridiculous claims made by Lord Maginnis only compound this isolation. Earlier, Ulster Unionist party leader Mike Nesbitt sent an email to party members saying: "Following this morning's edition of the Nolan Show on Radio Ulster, I wish to make it clear to every member of this party, that should you wish to speak to the media on any subject, you should, in the first instance, receive clearance from the party press office." Meanwhile, UUP councillor Adrian Cochrane-Watson has had the party whip withdrawn from him after he appeared on the BBC without clearing it with the press office. Mr Cochrane-Watson said he was given the news on Wednesday morning by telephone by council group leader in Antrim, councillor Mervyn Rea, who was acting on party instructions. He was told this was because he had failed to clear his interview with the party press office. He also confirmed to the BBC that assembly member Danny Kinahan had moved out of the office they shared in the town in Fountain Street. He said Mr Kinahan moved out two weeks ago. Mr Cochrane-Watson said a lease was signed back in September 2011 for another 18 months so he was "very surprised" to hear some weeks ago that Mr Kinahan was pursuing his own arrangements. He added it was for Mr Kinahan to "make clear" why he had moved out of the office, and was now occupying his new office on High Street, 500 yards away. Mr Kinahan said there was no personal animosity between himself and Mr Cochrane-Watson. He said he had long wanted his own office as an MLA and when the opportunity for a prime location came up, he took it.

Holcocephala, a species of robber fly, is able to intercept and "lock on" to its prey in less than a second. Researchers used high-speed cameras to show exactly how the fly positioned itself to capture a moving target in mid-air. The results are published in the journal Current Biology. Paloma Gonzalez-Bellido from Cambridge University explained that, normally, "when we think of hunting animals we think of excellent vision and speed, but when you're so very tiny, you have a very small brain and limited sensory capacity". She added: "We wanted to know how [this fly manages] this predatory behaviour." Dr Gonzalez-Bellido and her colleagues created a miniature outdoor studio - filming the fly from two angles to capture its movement in 3D. They discovered that the fly maintained what they described as a "constant bearing angle" - keeping its prey in the centre of its field of vision. PhD student Sam Fabian explained: "They're not sticking to a trajectory; if the target changes direction, they compensate, so this is reactive." In doing this, the insects are essentially using a very old navigation rule employed by sailors, Dr Gonzalez-Bellido explained. "If another vessel is not moving within your field of view, and it's getting bigger and closer, you're on a collision course," she said. The team also studied the fly's eyes, revealing that part of its hunting secret was contained in its highly adapted vision. Larger lenses and a high density of extremely tiny sensors at the centre of its eyes allow it to see its prey from a distance and to accurately "lock on" as it approaches. "This gives this fly a resolution in this area that's the same as much larger dragonflies," explained Dr Gonzalez-Bellido. "It's an extreme adaptation." The next step for scientists is to find out exactly how Holcocephala's brain takes this visual information and turns it into a stealth hunting manoeuvre in the blink of an eye.

The mid-air hunting strategy of a tiny fly the size of a grain of rice has been revealed by an international team of scientists.

Jamie Acton had rumbled through for the opener early on but tries from Mark Percival and Theo Fages established Saints' six-point lead at the break. The visitors continued undaunted, despite Ryan Morgan's early second-half try extending St Helens' lead. Regan Grace and Alex Walmsley scores were enough to finish Leigh hopes. Both St Helens prop Adam Walker and Leigh hooker Eloi Pelissier were sent to the sin-bin late on following a scuffle as tempers flared. Saints have now won three and lost two since Keiron Cunningham's departure from the club as head coach, and this performance was a boost to interim coaches Sean Long, Jamahl Lolesi and Derek Traynor. Prop Walmsley celebrated his 150th appearance and a first full England call-up with a try, and he and fellow scorer Percival will now head to the southern hemisphere for the Samoa Test on 6 May. St Helens: Makinson; Swift, Morgan, Percival, Grace; Fages, Smith; Walmsley, Lee, Douglas, Taia, Wilkin, Thompson. Replacements: McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Walker, Peyroux, Knowles. Leigh: Hampshire; Higham, Dawson, Crooks, Naughton; Reynolds, Drinkwater; Acton, Hood, Weston, Vea, Stewart, Hansen. Replacements: Pelissier, Tickle, Hopkins, Burr. Referee: Gareth Hewer Campbell made 37 appearances for the Magpies in all competitions last season, scoring eight goals. The 22-year-old, who can play up front or on the wing, started his career at Newcastle, before moving to League Two side County in July 2015. "He has a lot of pace and has a lot of the qualities that we have been looking for," said manager Jim Bentley. Meanwhile, midfielder Aaron Wildig, 25, has signed a new two-year contract with the Shrimps, while forward Kevin Ellison, 38, midfielder Alex Kenyon, 24, and midfielder Andy Fleming, 29, have all agreed new one-year deals.

The movie - Entebbe - is based on a hostage situation that occurred 40 years ago in Uganda. Unlike that hijacking, the two hijackers in Friday's incident surrendered peacefully to police. In 1976, Israeli forces freed 105 hostages in a surprise raid at Uganda's Entebbe airport, killing about eight hostage-takers and 20 Ugandan troops. According to internet movie data base, IMDB, Entebbe - which is expected to be released next year - stars Rosamund Pike, Vincent Cassel and Daniel Bruhl. Ms Naudi said the Entebbe film crew had to halt filming on the airport grounds when the Libyan Afriqiyah Airways plane landed at Malta International Airport. The domestic flight with 118 people on board had taken off from Sabha and had been bound for the Libyan capital Tripoli. The mayor of Lija said that the Maltese armed forces were well able to cope with such events. "We've had five hijackings landing here and ironically today they were actually filming Entebbe on the airport grounds - and that had to be stopped," she told BBC World TV. The Malta Friday hijacking ended peacefully within a few hours after all the hostages were released But in Uganda in 1976 the hostage situation dragged on for about a week after Palestinian hostage-takers hijacked the flight from Tel Aviv to Paris and diverted it to Entebbe. The Air France had 250 passengers - with many of whom were Israeli - and 12 crew. The hijackers demanded that release of 54 militants held by Israel and four other countries and a $5m ransom. In one of the most daring operations in its history, Israel secretly despatched a unit of elite commandos - led by Yonatan Netanyahu, the brother of current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - to rescue the hostages. They flew eight-and-a-half-hours over 4,000km (2,500 miles), through hostile territory and beneath the scope of enemy radar, to mount a surprise raid. The commandos killed all the hostage-takers as well as 20 Ugandan troops before flying the freed passengers and crew back to Israel. Three hostages lost their lives in the operation, as well as Yonatan Netanyahu, the only fatality among the troops. A TV movie was produced of the dramatic events the following year, called Raid on Entebbe. The Times of Malta reports that then-Prime Minister Dom Mintoff banned its screening because it "glorified violence". George Cobbledick, of Walnut St in Derby, was found guilty of rape and serious sexual assaults against the eight-year-old in the early 2000s. At Derby Crown Court he was also convicted of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl in the mid 1990s. Police said they would seek justice for abuse victims no matter the age of the offences or culprit. Updates on this story and more from the East Midlands Cobbledick was ordered to serve a year on extended licence and be on the sex offenders register for life. Det Insp Steve Shaw said: "George Cobbledick abused his first victim when she was aged 12, at a time when he would have been in his late 60s. "His callous abuse continued in the early 2000s, starting when his victim was aged just eight. "What I hope this case demonstrates is that, no matter how long ago the offences took place, and no matter how old the perpetrator, we will strive to bring them to justice." The service said it received 141 calls and attended 102 incidents across Northern Ireland - the lowest figure on record for 31 October. The majority of the incidents (45%) were located in the Southern Command Area. Most involved rubbish, bonfires and calls where tyres had been set alight. Meanwhile, in a separate development, police have confirmed that they made 12 arrests in Londonderry following Halloween celebrations on Friday. This compares with 17 arrests in Derry last year and 21 in 2012. Former Australia under-19 bowler Dixon holds a British passport and will not count as an overseas player. The 23-year-old has taken only seven wickets in five first-class games, but averages 22.00 with the ball from four Twenty20 matches. "Matt is a talented young man who bowls at a really good pace," Essex head coach Chris Silverwood said. "He adds depth to our squad, as you need a number of seamers in a squad to be able to compete on all three fronts, as we plan to." The Aberdeen Tour Series event on 25 May will involve a 1.2km circuit in the city centre. It will form round eight of the Tour Series, a UK-wide criterium racing competition challenging cyclists to complete several laps of a circuit. Aberdeen City Council has uploaded a map and details of the city's circuit to its website. Aberdeen is one of two Scottish venues hosting rounds of series, with Motherwell hosting round seven on 23 May. It will be the third time that the event has visited the North Lanarkshire venue. George Adam, the lord provost of Aberdeen, said: "This event will ignite the city's heart as the cyclists are put to the test racing past some of Aberdeen's historic landmarks, such as Aberdeen Art Gallery, His Majesty's Theatre with the start and finish on the city's iconic Union Street. "We are also encouraging the public to take part in a fun-filled day of activities that will see the city centre brought to life by this unique cycling spectacle." Tour Series race director Mick Bennett said: "We are looking forward to bringing the Tour Series to Aberdeen this May. "The circuit will showcase the heart of Aberdeen combining a very fast, flowing opening half of the lap with a more technical finale, including the slow last corner and a deceptive drag to the finish line on Union Street." Powerful explosions followed by bursts of gunfire were heard in the provincial capital, Charikar, an hour's drive north-west of Kabul, witnesses said. The governor, Abdul Basir Salangi, told media from inside the compound that up to six suicide bombers had struck. The Taliban say they carried out the attack, which lasted at least an hour. The BBC's Quentin Sommerville says Parwan is usually relatively peaceful. However, under-equipped police there have been struggling both to resist Taliban militants and a rising crime level. Militants attacked the compound just after 11:00 (06:30 GMT), the Afghan interior ministry said. A suicide car bomb was detonated, after which five other militants wearing bomb vests broke into the compound, police said. Mr Salangi told the BBC: ''A suicide attacker wearing a police uniform... detonated his explosives outside the northern gate. Then five others attacked my office. "They managed to get inside the compound to the halls. The fighting went on for one hour." Police and intelligence sources told the BBC the compound had been attacked from several directions. Fighting was so fierce that government forces were sometimes just a meter (yard) from their attackers. "They even got close to the governor's office... but his bodyguards opened fire, killing the last attacker, who was using a rocket-propelled grenade," a police source said. Security at the compound had been reinforced after a recent attempt to kill the governor, an important ally of President Hamid Karzai, the BBC's Bilal Sarwary reports. A meeting of security chiefs was under way when Sunday's attack occurred. Local police and intelligence chiefs were present, along with advisers from the international coalition. According to the independent Afghan news agency Pajhwok, most of the victims had come to the governor's house to collect their national identity cards. At least two US military officials were taking part but were unhurt, according to provincial police chief Sher Mohammad Maladani. The governor's compound has come under attack on previous occasions. The Taliban recently appeared to change their tactics, launching attacks on prominent figures or targets which were deemed to be particularly well-protected. Ahmet Davutoglu is leading an interim government ahead of fresh elections due in November. His own AK Party lost its parliamentary majority in June, after the HDP entered parliament for the first time. Two main opposition parties have refused to participate in the caretaker government. The HDP's Ali Haydar Konca will act as European affairs minister and Muslum Dogan will take up the role of development minister. The pro-Kurdish party exceeded Turkey's high 10% threshold to enter parliament after reaching out beyond its traditional Kurdish heartland to liberal and left-leaning voters across the country. Although the nationalist MHP party refused to take part in the interim administration, Tugrul Turkes, the son of its founder, broke ranks and accepted an invitation to become acting deputy prime minister. He could face expulsion from the party. Mr Davutoglu named Feridun Sinirlioglu as his new foreign minister. The ruling AK (Truth and Development) party had governed alone for over a decade, but failed to find a coalition partner after June's elections. The Scotland international, 27, who joined Blackburn for £2m in 2011, ended last season on loan at Ross County. He scored five goals in three years at Ewood Park, with loan spells at Dundee United, Crystal Palace and Blackpool. Fellow striker Jimmy Spencer has also joined Argyle from Cambridge, along with Latvian defender Nauris Bulvitis. Spencer, 24, failed to agree a new deal with the U's having scored six times in 18 league appearances after joining from Notts County in January. Latvia international centre back Nauris Bulvitis has also joined the Pilgrims after leaving top-tier side Spartaks Jurmala. The 29-year-old has played in six countries, including Lithuania, Slovakia and Switzerland, and helped Inverness win the Scottish First Division as a loanee in the 2009-10 season. Meanwhile, Pilgrims striker Ryan Brunt has agreed a new deal at Home Park. Brunt, 23, scored 10 goals in all competitions in his first full season with the club, having joined from Bristol Rovers in January 2015. He will miss the start of next season after damaging cruciate knee ligaments in a game against Barnet in March. The Pilgrims have 16 first-team players under contract, while a further six - whose deals run out on Thursday - are yet to respond to offers made by the club.

Her owner Rebecca Mineards hopes Lily, who has to wear nappies in the house, will soon be able to return to her mother. Meanwhile, she is learning to play with the household pups and even wrestling their toys away from them. The lead investigator in the case has sent her conclusions to prosecutors, asking for all of them to be arrested. The victim said she was doped after going to her boyfriend's house and woke up in a different house, surrounded by 33 men, in May. The case shocked Brazil and led to protests by women's groups. It came to light after a 40-second video of the attack, in a poor community in the west of the city was posted on Twitter. Police investigator Cristiana Bento said one of the main pieces of evidence was the phone with which the recording was made. The inquiry determined that the victim, now under state protection, was raped in two different incidents, Ms Bento added. Two of the accused have already been detained, local media said. They could face up to 15 years in jail for rape, eight years for making the images and six years for sharing them, Ms Bento said. A new investigation is expected to determine if more people took part in the rape. The case led to an online campaign against what activists called a culture of rape in Brazil. A report by Federbet presented to the European Parliament on Tuesday, alleged Bala Town's 7-0 win over Gap Connah's Quay and Port Talbot Town's 1-1 draw with Carmarthen Town were fixed. The four clubs have strongly rebutted the claims about the December matches. The FAW and WPL said both games had been spot-checked by monitors. A statement added: "The FAW has not received any communication or information from Federbet in relation to the matches detailed in their report. "Every Welsh Premier League match is monitored by our integrity partners, who will immediately inform the FAW of any suspicions of match-fixing, should the occasion arise. We as a club have a zero tolerance policy with regard to any form of betting "Throughout the 2013/2014 season, the FAW requested several spot-checks on matches in Wales, which incidentally included the matches detailed above. The report received from the FAW's integrity partners, earlier in the season, suggested that no manipulation occurred in these matches. "The FAW also has a good working relationship with the Sports Betting Intelligence Unit at the Gambling Commission, who have not received any information from betting operators in relation to the matches detailed in the Federbet report. "The FAW and Welsh Premier League will be contacting Federbet to request any information that they are able to supply and will seek clarification with regards to their methodology in identifying the matches detailed above." Brussels-based Federbet had told a media conference at the European parliament there were 110 matches it believed to be fixed in 2013-2014 in Europe, while there were suspicions about a further 350. The matches in Britain included the two games in the League of Wales and 10 at non-league level in England with a further Women's Premier League game. "Every day all around the world there is an attempt at match-fixing. And this virus is getting bigger and bigger," Federbet general secretary Francesco Baranca told the media conference. Bala said the club was "absolutely astounded" by the allegation. A club statement said: "There has been no contact from Federbet with any official at Bala Town FC regarding this allegation. We as a club have a zero tolerance policy with regard to any form of betting by players or officials. "We would welcome any information from Federbet that justifies such an allegation and would react immediately to any evidential information that might be provided." Carmarthen Town said: "It was with absolute amazement that we read the claims that a match involving Port Talbot Town and Carmarthen was subject to a match fixing investigation. We deny all knowledge of any allegations and welcome any further information that justifies such a claim. "We as a club have a zero tolerance policy with regard to any form of betting by players or officials. We would welcome any information from Federbet that justifies such an allegation." Port Talbot Town chief executive Andrew Edwards said: "At Port Talbot we pride ourselves on our integrity. Any suggestion of match-fixing is extremely serious and potentially very damaging, and as a football club we treat it with the utmost severity. "We have absolutely nothing to hide and welcome any investigation, which the club would fully assist." And Gap Connah's Quay said: "We read with absolute amazement the claims that a match involving Gap Connah's Quay Nomads and Bala Town was subject to a match-fixing investigation. We deny all knowledge of any allegations and welcome any further information that justifies such a claim." Federbet's website says the organisation provides "our assistance and expertise in areas such as prevention of match fixing, money laundering, underage gambling". The six disabled people bringing the judicial review will question the legality of the move to close the Independent Living Fund from 2015. More than 19,000 people in the UK get payments from the ILF. The government says councils, which administer most social care, will take over funding this help. The claimants fear disabled people could be forced out of independent living arrangements and into residential care, or trapped at home by the fund's closure. Questioning the legality of the consultation and subsequent decision by the government, the court challenge will argue: The Department for Work and Pensions says help for disabled people has been fundamentally changed by personal budgets, intended to give recipients more control, and that it makes sense to have a single system administered by local authorities. The ILF was established in 1988, but the government decided in 2010 that it had become "no longer appropriate or sustainable" to keep running the scheme outside the mainstream social care system. The fund closed to new applicants soon afterwards. Richard Hawkes, chief executive of disability charity Scope, said councils could not afford to "pick up the tab". "Local care and support for disabled people is already underfunded to the tune of £1.2bn and councils are already struggling to cope. "Not getting the support to wash, dress and leave your home is unacceptable. The government needs to invest more in social care to prevent disabled people being condemned to a life without basic dignity and invisible from society." The ILF pays out an average of £300 a week per recipient. Greater Manchester Police issued an urgent appeal for his parents to come forward. The boy's mother was found at about 09.15 BST. A spokesperson said the boy, aged about two or three, was found by a member of the public on Curlew Road at 06.25. He was wearing grey and blue pyjamas and blue wellingtons. He was taken into police care. Police said officers were speaking to the boy's mother and have thanked the public for their assistance. It's just one phenomenon that has made the early optimism about the potential of the web to improve the way we communicate look misplaced. On this week's Tech Tent podcast we hear from the web's founder about his concerns about the way the online world sometimes rewards lies above truth. We also meet the man running the research lab that changed computing history. And we have a fascinating chat about chatbots, and just how human we want them to be. I spoke to Sir Tim Berners-Lee earlier this week, just as it was announced that he had won the Turing Award, often seen as the Nobel Prize for computing. He won it for creating the World Wide Web but it was evident from our conversation that he has become deeply worried over the last year about where it is heading. For 20 years, he told me, he thought all we needed to do was make sure that the internet was open, there was net neutrality and no spying - and we could be confident that humanity would do wonderful things. But now he's seen just what bad things humanity can do on social networks, where fake news and hate speech seem to be raging out of control. "Fake things, false things tend to propagate more than truth and, in a way, maybe hatred tends to propagate in some cases more than love." So what can be done? Sir Tim believes that a discipline called web science that he helped to start 10 years ago can help, by focusing on the importance of how you design web services. He points out that the way Google's ad network or Facebook's Likes and Twitter's retweets are designed can inadvertently reward bad and destructive behaviour. And as the ultimate web scientist he still has faith that by adjusting those features, the online world can rid itself of these problems. Xerox Parc is the legendary Silicon Valley research lab that gave birth to all sorts of ideas that shaped modern computing, from the mouse to the graphical user interface. The only problem for Xerox was that most of those ideas ended up benefitting others, rather than the company that is still best-known for its photocopiers. Some years ago, the lab was spun out into a separate research and innovation consultancy, now called just Parc, and its new boss is Tolga Kurtoglu. He says his team of multidisciplinary scientists are still producing great ideas, particularly in areas where the digital and physical are coming together in real time. He lists smart cities, batteries, healthcare and the Internet of Things as examples of where Parc hopes to make advances. I threw at him the common accusation that innovation had slowed in Silicon Valley and had given us trivial stuff such as Twitter rather than life-changing technologies. "We were promised flying cars, instead we got 140 characters." He says innovations often turn out to be different from what was forecast but just as powerful. We may not have flying cars but we are well on the way to having vehicles that will drive themselves. Xerox Parc changed the way we interact with computers, and now another revolution is under way where we converse with chatbots. But how should we relate to these bots which we are now going to encounter carrying out all sorts of functions once performed by humans? The accountancy software firm Sage has come up with a finance assistant bot called Pegg. Kriti Sharma, who has the fabulous title of VP of Bots and AI at Sage, has firm views on this matter. She says Pegg loves undertaking boring tasks such as filing receipts and has no ambitions to be human. "We think it's more important for bots to be useful and likeable than to become superhumans," she says. On the age-old question of whether our jobs are threatened by these devices, she is pretty optimistic. For the most part, she says, bots like Pegg are doing tasks that are either tedious or too complex for humans. And while they may replace some workers, other jobs are created - Sage has employed what it describes as a conversation designer to give its bots a personality. Kriti Sharma is, however, concerned about the trend to give female voices to AI assistants doing menial tasks. She says for the next generation AI and bots will be as familiar as smartphones: "If they grow up in a world where all the women are turning on lights and scheduling meetings, that's what they're going to learn and that's what's scary for me." The court ruled the criminal record checks scheme used in England and Wales was "arbitrary" and unlawful. People across the UK are forced to have their criminal record divulged when applying for certain jobs. The Home Office said it would consider whether to appeal against the decision. Lawyers for the pair had told the High Court that people were being unfairly disadvantaged throughout their lives by convictions for minor criminal offences committed years beforehand. One woman, referred to in court as P, was charged with shoplifting a 99p book in 1999 while suffering from a then undiagnosed mental illness. She later failed to attend court, which meant she ended up with two convictions - for which she received a conditional discharge. The woman, 47, who now wishes to work as a teaching assistant and has sought voluntary positions in schools, argued that having to disclose her criminal record, and subsequently her medical history, was disproportionate and breached her right to privacy. Her case was heard alongside that of another claimant, A, who was convicted of two minor thefts in 1981 and 1982 when aged 17 and 18. He has since worked as an accountant, company finance director and is now a project manager - work that often requires due diligence and criminal record checks. He was concerned he would be forced to disclose his convictions and that his family might learn of them. Lord Justice McCombe said it was not justifiable or necessary for any individual to have minor offences disclosed indefinitely, from many years ago merely because there is more than one minor offence. He described the results of the current system as "arbitrary" and said "where the rules are capable of producing such questionable results, on their margins, there ought, it seems to me, to be some machinery for testing the proportionality of the the interference, if the scheme is to be in accordance with the law". He asked the government to make submissions to address faults in the system, in advance of the court making its final order. In the meantime, the scheme will continue to operate as at present. James Welch, legal director for Liberty, which backed P, said: "This ruling will bring reassurance for the very many people who have had their ambitions dashed because of very small mistakes they made years, or even decades, in the past. "The government must urgently fix this broken system, which rightly allows people with a single minor offence to move on with their lives, while those with two - no matter the nature or circumstances of their crimes - cannot." A Home Office spokesman said: "We are disappointed by the decision of the court. We will now carefully consider the content of the court's judgment and whether there are grounds for seeking leave to appeal. "This government remains committed to protecting children and other vulnerable people by providing employers with proportionate access to criminal record information in order to support safer recruitment decisions." The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) replaced the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) scheme in England and Wales. It provides details of a job applicant's previous convictions. Scotland and Northern Ireland run similar but separate schemes. Employers are required to use the checks when employing people for certain types of work, particularly work with children or vulnerable adults. The standard or enhanced certificates issued by the DBS used to list all the job applicant's previous convictions. However, in 2013, the government amended this scheme following a Court of Appeal ruling to introduce a filtering process. Single convictions for non-violent, non-sexual offences that did not lead to a suspended or custodial sentence are not disclosed after 11 years or five and a half years if the person was under 18 at the time of the offence. The new filtering process does not apply if a person has more than one conviction - regardless of the minor nature of the offences or the person's circumstances at the time. The move had been considered by the cross-party Smith Commission on further devolution. But it was not included in the commission's final report, or in the subsequent Scotland Bill. The SNP, Lib Dems, Scottish Greens and Conservatives have all previously backed the devolution of abortion law, but it has been opposed by Labour. There had been discussions between the UK and Scottish governments on the issue. And Scottish Secretary David Mundell told the Scottish Affairs Committee at Westminster that an amendment would be made to the Scotland Bill allowing the move. Speaking to MPs, he said: "I understand that abortion law and whether it should be controlled by Holyrood are matters that many people feel very strongly about. I respect that. The subject was debated very passionately in the House during the passage of the original Scotland Bill in 1998 and again during Committee stage of the Scotland Bill in July. "The government has reflected very carefully on the points that have been made and I can today inform the committee that we will bring forward an amendment to the Scotland Bill so that abortion law can be devolved to the Scottish Parliament. "Holyrood already has responsibility for dealing with end of life issues. It has responsibility for the NHS and for criminal justice in Scotland. I do not see a convincing constitutional reason for why abortion law should not be devolved and that is what has led me to this decision." Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, welcomed the move but said her government had no plans to change the existing regulations. The Smith Commission report had said that political parties were "strongly of the view to recommend the devolution of abortion and regard it as an anomalous health reservation." It added: "They agree that further serious consideration should be given to its devolution and a process should be established immediately to consider the matter further." The option of devolving control of abortion law was considered ahead of the Scottish Parliament being reconvened in 1999. But Donald Dewar, who was to become the country's inaugural first minister, took the view that it would be better to reserve the issue to Westminster in order to prevent the new parliament coming under heavy pressure to change the law on terminations. Labour has continued to oppose the move, with the party's equalities spokeswoman, Jenny Marra, claiming the decision had been taken "behind closed doors without any consultation with women's groups across Scotland." She added: "The Smith Commission promised a process to consider this, but that seems to have only meant a process that involved ministers of the UK and Scottish governments, and not women across Scotland. "Scottish Labour firmly believes that the safest way to protect the current legal framework around abortion is for it to remain at UK level where there is a strong consensus around the current time limits. "Leading human rights and women's groups have said that devolving abortion law could undermine the right of women to make their own decisions." The Christian charity Care for Scotland welcomed Mr Mundell's announcement, and called for MSPs to debate the issue for the first time in the Scottish Parliament. The 29-year-old, who plays his club football in England for Newcastle, appeared 36 times for the Teranga Lions and played at the 2012 Olympics. He said: "I believe that there are now 23 Senegalese players in better shape. "After much thought and consideration I feel that now is the appropriate time to focus fully on my club career." Diame has been mainly used as a substitute by Senegal since Aliou Cisse took charge of the team in March 2015. George Osborne announced the proposals for Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk in his budget. Lord Tebbit said the region did not need an elected mayor, while Sir Henry said it could hit councils. Earlier Tory MP for West Suffolk Matthew Hancock backed the scheme for providing a "strong local figurehead". Former cabinet minister Lord Tebbit, speaking in the House of Lords, said: "Those of us who have the privilege of living in East Anglia and particularly those of us who live in Bury St Edmunds, where we have an excellent council, which has improved services and kept rates well under control, do not need an elected mayor for East Anglia. "That will only raise costs, introduce another layer of government and lead to further escalation of these problems." For the Government Viscount Younger of Leckie said: "That may be so but we very much think it is right that it's up to the local area to decide these matters." MP for North West Norfolk Sir Henry Bellingham, in the House of Commons on Monday night, argued the plans could see mayors seeking to hire large numbers of staff and directors. He insisted this could lead to an elected assembly as he likened the costs to the £52m required for the country's 41 police and crime commissioners. Sir Henry added an "absolutely outstanding" budget from the Chancellor would be wrecked if he did not receive assurances that a far more cautious approach was adopted over elected mayors. "I do regard the plan to bring in an elected mayor with extreme suspicion. "I feel absolutely no affinity whatsoever to East Anglia. I feel an affinity to Norfolk." The powers to be devolved are expected to include infrastructure and planning responsibilities. Mr Hancock said: "The devolution deal brings more money, new powers, and will give us a strong local figurehead who can unite East Anglia and make our case heard locally, nationally and internationally." A clever strategic move by the team followed by Hamilton attacking and passing Vettel put the Briton in control and he defended successfully to the end. Vettel had passed Hamilton off the start line to lead for the first half of the race but ended up out-flanked by their rivals. Hamilton's second win of the season cut his deficit to Vettel in the championship to six points after five of 20 races. It was a tense and gripping battle befitting the closeness of the fight between Formula 1's top teams this season. Vettel took control of the race with a superb start, sweeping around the outside of Hamilton into Turn One and building a 2.2-second lead with a blistering first lap. When Ferrari beat Mercedes to making the first pit stop, preventing Hamilton passing by stopping earlier and benefiting from fresh tyres, the race appeared to be Vettel's to lose and Mercedes to win. Mercedes switched strategies, putting Hamilton on a long middle stint on the slower medium tyre, the idea being to attack Vettel at the end of the race, when Hamilton would be on the soft tyre and the Ferrari on the medium. They then bought themselves some time by delaying the first pit stop of Hamilton's team-mate Valtteri Bottas so he could hold up Vettel for a couple of laps. Vettel's delay behind Bottas brought Hamilton's deficit to the Ferrari down by four seconds but the German limited the damage with a stunning passing move on the Finn into Turn One. Vettel dummied to the inside, then the outside, before diving down the inside, his wheels brushing the grass, to grasp the lead and apparently take another step towards victory. The race turned during a period of the virtual safety car, when cars are forced to lap at controlled speeds while a car is cleared from a dangerous spot. This was to remove Stoffel Vandoorne's McLaren, which went off at the first corner after a collision with Massa. The VSC was in play for two laps and Mercedes waited until it was just about to end to pit Hamilton for a set of soft tyres. The move was an inspired gamble with 30 laps still to go, a tough task on the soft tyre. Ferrari responded to Mercedes by stopping Vettel for the final time a lap later and he rejoined from the pits as Hamilton pounded down the pit straight. They went into the first corner side by side and Vettel forced Hamilton off the track at Turn One as he defended his lead. Hamilton now had to pass Vettel on a track where overtaking is notoriously difficult. He pressured Vettel hard for the next seven laps before getting close enough to try for a pass at the start of lap 44. Hamilton was close enough at the final corner to get the DRS overtaking aid and he swept by Vettel around the outside into Turn One. Hamilton, who sounded breathless and anxious on the radio throughout the race, tensely asked his team what he needed to do in terms of building a gap while also protecting his tyres, and Ferrari briefly considered switching strategy to make an extra stop. But he controlled his pace exquisitely to take his 55th win and almost certainly one of his best. After helping Hamilton out, Bottas looked set for third place but he broke down with an engine failure on lap 39. His retirement handed third place to Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, a huge 73 seconds behind Hamilton and Vettel. Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen retired on the first lap after a collision at the first corner as they went three-abreast with Bottas. Force India took fourth and fifth with Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon, with Renault's Nico Hulkenberg seventh. Fernando Alonso had a dispiriting day 24 hours after thrilling his home fans and impressing the paddock with a stunning seventh place on the grid. The McLaren driver dropped to 10th on the first lap when he was forced wide and off the track at the second corner by Williams' Felipe Massa and had to drive through the gravel to rejoin. Alonso will fly overnight to America to start his assault on the Indianapolis 500, for which he is missing the next race in Monaco, where Jenson Button will come out of retirement to substitute for him. Monaco, in two week's time. It's impossible to predict what will happen on the claustrophobic streets of Monaco in this see-saw battle between Mercedes and Ferrari. Hamilton said earlier in the year he thought the shorter Ferrari might be more agile there, but the Mercedes was the fastest car through the tight final sector of Barcelona's lap so another close battle is almost certainly in store. Simon Johnson, aged 41, was attacked at his home in Cradley Road, Netherton, Dudley, in August 2016. A second teenager, also 16, has been charged with burglary on the same night. The pair are due before Walsall Magistrates Court. Following his death, Mr Johnson's family said he was a "very proud father of two girls". On Monday, she told the assembly it was "probably not going to be the case" that the 2017 target would be achieved. She told the BBC that 2017 is still "possible", but only if there is a deal on welfare reform in the coming months. This power will not be devolved until the Treasury assesses that Stormont's finances are on a sustainable footing. That assessment of what is sustainable includes the implementation of welfare reforms. A so-called "rate and date" for corporation tax would need to be agreed by the end of this year, to give Invest Northern Ireland time to attract investment projects. Foreign direct investment deals typically take 18 months to come to fruition. The business community is increasingly concerned that the lack of "a date and a rate" will cause foreign companies to defer investment. Corporation tax is the tax that companies pay on their profits. The current UK rate is 20%, whereas in the Republic of Ireland firms pay 12.5%. The Northern Ireland Executive wants to be able to match the tax rate in the Republic of Ireland The 27-year-old former Nottinghamshire and England player bowed out after being diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) after a sustained attack that lasted several hours. Surviving that, he says, is one of his "proudest moments". "I should have probably died, but I didn't," Taylor told BBC World Service's Stumped programme. "What I had, most people are passed out after 10 minutes. And I did it for near on six and a half hours." So, a year on from that day, he might not be able to take part in competitive sport any more (apart from the odd round of golf), but he has found a new passion - helping others through his experience. Going into these schools is really important to me Taylor is working with a cricketing charity to teach children about what he has learnt in his career and the challenges he's faced in the past 12 months. "Working with charities like Chance to Shine gives me an opportunity to have a positive impact on people's lives," says the man from Leicestershire. "Cricket's so powerful, it gives you confidence playing in team sport, making friends, learning how to be more resilient in teams - it's so important. That's why the message of cricket is so powerful." And it's that word "resilience" that sums up what he will be hoping to pass on to schoolchildren. Taylor will take part in assemblies and Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PHSE) lessons to inspire children and help them learn how to cope with setbacks in life. "Over my 10-year, professional international career, I've learnt so many lessons that are so powerful in everyday life, and especially now I've got the added perspective from what's happened to me," he added. "I've always had resilience with my cricket, and now through battling through this. "I'm just trying to teach them a little bit about resilience and if you get knocked down, get back up again and try again." In 2017, Chance to Shine aims to reach around 500,000 young people with nearly half of these expected to be girls. Taylor - who has already taken part in a book event for the charity - will be visiting a school a month through England and Wales from the start of the summer term. "My story itself is an interesting one - the children are fascinated about it," he says. "They're anything from six to 16. If you can learn a little bit about resilience at that age it's certainly going to help you as you grow up. "Going into these schools - helping the kids any way I can and concentrating on the things that you can do not the things that you can't - is really important to me."

Your child's headteacher, along with the governing body, is at the sharp end of filling empty jobs. So no wonder that at many schools heads tell me it's near the top of their worry list. Despairing of the impact of traditional job ads, they are taking to social media and eyeing up talent they might poach from other schools. Some are trying to grow their own, by recruiting likely candidates into teaching assistant posts and then coaxing them to train. Others are sidling up to promising departing sixth formers to ask if they might want to come back to do some volunteering at the school while weighing up career options at university. But ultimately the MPs on the influential Public Accounts Committee are in no doubt the buck stops with the government. And yet their report, just published, describes a remarkable lack of reliable data to really tell officials what is going on. Part of the problem has been the gulf between national statistics showing a very low vacancy level of 0.3% and what is happening on the ground in some parts of England. When term starts there has to be someone in front of the class even if it is a temporary, or agency teacher. So the vacancy statistic tells us nothing about who is teaching, how good they are or whether they're just a short-term solution. It took some time for the government to stop pointing to this statistic, and admit that schools in some areas were experiencing something rather different. There are more ways than ever before to train as a teacher in England, with an increasing shift to more being based in schools rather than universities. They vary from the extremely niche, such as Troops to Teachers, to the main Schools Direct programme where a school can act as a training hub for its area. It can be confusing to navigate if you're thinking of becoming a teacher and, for the last four years, not enough people have been recruited to meet the numbers needed. The government is now planning to track trainees into the workforce, but for the moment there is little solid evidence of how the different training routes are working. The same is true of the bursaries which are aimed at enticing graduates in shortage subjects into a teaching career. As science graduates can go into well paid jobs, it's not unreasonable to think financial incentives might make a difference. After all, a £30,000 tax-free bursary while you train is quite a good offer. What the MPs are asking for is better evidence the public money being spent is delivering a long-term payback. It's not that the government is doing nothing, rather that it's doing many things without, the MPs suggest, being able to prove what works best. The government has promised to make sure there are enough talented teachers recruited, wherever they're needed. With pupil numbers continuing to rise that's a big promise. Mr Karzai met Indian PM Manmohan Singh, who said violence in Afghanistan was undermining security in South Asia. He also said that India would "stand by Afghanistan" when foreign troops withdraw from the country in 2014. Mr Karzai's visit follows a series of attacks which have damaged ties between Kabul and India's rival, Pakistan. Correspondents say the increasingly close relationship between Kabul and Delhi will be viewed with some suspicion by Pakistan, which sees Afghanistan as its backyard. India is a major player in Afghanistan and has already pledged $2bn (£1.3bn) in assistance. At a press conference in Delhi, Mr Singh said that the strategic partnership between the two countries will create an "institutional framework" so that India can help in Afghan "capacity building" in the areas of education, development and people-to-people contacts. The pact is believed to include an Indian commitment to increase its training of Afghan security forces, including the police, although Mr Singh made no reference to that in his press conference remarks. The prime minister said that the two countries had also signed two agreements relating to Afghanistan's energy requirements which represented "a new dimension in economic relations" to enable Kabul to integrate more effectively with the Indian economy and other economies in South Asia. He said that the people of India sympathised with Afghanistan as it sought to cope with "acts of terrorism... particularly the assassination of [peace envoy] Burhanuddin Rabbani". "Rabbani was our guest in India in July and we were greatly encouraged by his vision," Mr Singh said. "His brutal assassination should... strengthen our resolve to jointly confront the menace of terrorism." President Karzai said that he was "grateful" for India's help as his country strives to overcome "violence and extremist activities". In his statement, Mr Karzai reiterated that his government would work closely with the US, Europe and India to plan Afghanistan's future. The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder says that Delhi is concerned about the security situation in both Afghanistan and Pakistan, especially as foreign troops begin to withdraw from the region. India is one of Afghanistan's biggest donors, having pledged money for projects ranging from road construction to the building of the Afghan parliament - and is keen to play a bigger role. Delhi has often accused Islamabad of links to groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Haqqani network that have carried out attacks in Afghanistan on Indian targets, including an assault on the Indian embassy in Kabul in July 2008, in which 40 people were killed. Craig Wing, an Australian rugby league convert, was a constant threat at centre and scored Japan's first try. Home flanker Michael Broadhurst crashed over from close range, while Ayumu Goramaru kicked 13 points. Wales had led briefly in the second half through Tom Prydie's try but rarely threatened Japan after that. The visitors were missing 15 players on duty with the British and Irish Lions in Australia, while several other senior players were either rested or injured for the tour to Japan. But that should take nothing away from Japan, who had lost last week's first Test 18-22 but bounced back impressively at the Chichibunomiya Stadium to split the series with Wales. Biggar had missed an early long-range kick at goal, while Lou Reed almost scored an opportunistic try when the lock charged down Harumichi Tatekawa's attempted clearance. But after the visitors had dominated the first 15 minutes, Japan broke upfield and, after they were awarded a penalty, Goramaru struck his first successful kick to open the scoring. Biggar replied to level the game at 3-3 and Wales should have added at least one try as their backs started to click. Lloyd Williams was bundled into touch just short of the right-hand corner flag as the scrum-half sniped down the blindside. Then Harry Robinson broke through midfield, set free by Biggar who found the wandering wing with a sweet inside pass, but Japan scrambled back in numbers to avert the danger. The visitors had lost centre Owen Williams to injury within the half-hour and his replacement Rhys Patchell, normally a fly-half but with the size and pace to slot into midfield, wasted the best opportunity of the half. The Cardiff Blue broke the line on the right but ignored a two-man overlap, instead cutting inside and then losing the ball forward as he was tackled. Instead Wales saw themselves fall behind as Goramaru kicked his second penalty after Bradley Davies was penalised at a ruck, giving Japan a slender 6-3 lead at half-time. Kenki Fukuoka did well to drag rival wing Robinson into touch as Wales showed some adventure after the restart. But the respite was only temporary as Wales at last ruptured Japan's defence to send Prydie over for an unconverted try. Patchell took out two defenders and flicked the ball behind his back for Biggar on the loop, who then gave the ball air to find his left wing in acres of space. Prydie, the youngest player to be capped by Wales and their youngest try-scorer, had not played for his country since June 2010 but made the most of his recall to claim his second Test try. But for the first time in the match Japan started to find holes in the Welsh defence, with Wing in particular catching the eye with a string of clean breaks in midfield. The centre deservedly put Japan back into the lead as the Cherry Blossoms hammered away at the Welsh line before creating a huge overlap on the right. The right-footed Goramaru struck a superb conversion from tight on the right touchline and the full-back repeated the feat 11 minutes later when Japan struck again. Hendrik Tui's initial break saw Japan move deep into Wales' 22, before flanker Broadhurst - a scorer last week in Osaka - powered through Rhys Gill from close range. Some good scrambling defence from the likes of Andries Pretorius, the South African-born number eight making his Wales debut, along with Blues back-row colleague Josh Navidi, helped keep a now rampant Japan from crossing again. But Goromaru underlined Japan's dominance with his third penalty to cap an historic first win over Wales. The result is also a huge fillip for Eddie Jones' side as Japan build towards the 2015 World Cup and hosting the tournament in 2019.

Lynn Hodson said she was walking her cocker spaniel in a part of Sutton Park in Sutton Coldfield banned to traffic, when the moped "came out of nowhere". She said it "ploughed through the crowd" and hit her dog, Rorie, before the rider and passenger fled. West Midlands Police said officers were investigating the collision on Sunday afternoon. The young dog was hit while the park was busy on Sunday afternoon. It died at the scene. Read more news for Birmingham and the Black Country "There were lots of families around, lots of dogs off their lead, lots of dog walkers and he'd just gone over to say hello to another dog," Mrs Dodson told the BBC. "These two lads on a moped just came out of nowhere... doing at least 30 to 40mph... and threw him up in the air. "They got back on the moped and fled. There were quite a few chasing them, telling them to stop." Mrs Hodson, whose husband died last year, said she was with her daughters Gemma and Kerry, and Gemma's boyfriend Dave, at the park. She said Rorie had been with her since he was eight weeks old and was taken to Sutton Park "probably two or three times" a week. "We're just absolutely devastated. He was part of our family," she added. "[It's] taken our little dog away from us, who we loved." The first person to be pulled from the rubble was a young woman who was eight months pregnant. Several hours later, three other people were brought out and taken to hospital. Thirty-six people have been confirmed dead following the collapse of the six-storey residence last Friday and more than 70 people are still missing. The crowd clapped and cheered as 24-year-old Elizabeth Night Odhiambo was rescued, in scenes broadcast live on Kenyan TV. Rescuers had smashed through slabs of concrete to reach her. They managed to provide her with oxygen and an intravenous drip of water and glucose. Ms Odhiambo was rushed to hospital and underwent an emergency Caesarean section but doctors said her baby had already died in the womb. Ms Odhiambo's husband told the AP news agency that he was happy that his wife was still alive, despite the loss of their child. "I cannot describe the happiness I have," Mr Odhiambo said. "I have never had such happiness like this in my life." He said he had been able to talk to his with his wife after the surgery and comfort her. After Ms Odhiambo was saved, a middle-aged man was brought out and carried to a waiting ambulance. His eyes were wide open though he looked weak and traumatised, said the BBC's Anne Soy in Nairobi. Then two women on stretchers followed, one of them holding her head. The head of Kenya's National Disaster Management Unit, Pius Masai, said it was a miracle to have found survivors after so long. He said that rescue efforts would continue around the clock until they were sure all survivors had been pulled from the rubble. About 140 people are estimated to have survived the tragedy. Soldiers, firefighters and volunteers have been searching for survivors since the 29 April collapse of the building. Trained dogs had been brought in, along with special equipment to detect breathing and movement, military spokesman David Obonyo told AP. Getting the survivors clear of the rubble is a delicate process that takes hours of patient work. A seven-month-old child was pulled alive from the rubble on Tuesday, but her mother was found dead the following day. The building's presumed owners have been released on bail after being arrested on Monday. City authorities said they had earmarked the building for demolition after it was declared unfit for human habitation. An official audit of the country's buildings found that more than half in the capital were not suitable for people to live in, AP reports. Celtic captain Brown, winner of 50 caps, spoke to Strachan this week. Brown, 31, retired from international football in the summer but is now prepared to help the team resurrect their World Cup qualifying campaign. His return is not being viewed as a one-off for next month's England game. With three matches played by all teams in World Cup qualifying Group F, Scotland sit in fourth place, behind England, Lithuania and Slovenia, and a point ahead of Slovakia. Strachan's team won their opening match against Malta 5-1, then drew 1-1 at home with Lithuania and lost 3-0 to Slovakia. On Thursday, Brown, when asked if he regretted not being able to play against England on 11 November, said: "I'll enjoy watching that game, here's hoping Scotland do really well down there. "It'll be another great occasion and I just wish Gordon all the best." Media playback is not supported on this device In August, when he announced his retirement only 70 days ago, Brown had said: "It's no secret that I've suffered some injuries in my career and once you get over 30 you have to protect your body more. "I'm not the type of player who can coast half-heartedly through a game - I give 100% every time. "Given the importance of this campaign for Scotland, and the challenges ahead at Celtic, I simply felt that I could not keep up both commitments without either my performances or recovery time suffering." Since then, however, Brown has been a stand-out performer for Celtic and appears to be relishing playing under manager Brendan Rodgers and without the effect of injuries that have hampered him in the past. Motherwell manager Mark McGhee, who is also Scotland assistant manager, welcomed the midfielder's return. "I was disappointed when he announced his retirement," he said. "He is that type of character that drives other people, that glues people together on the pitch. He helps bring out a team performance, he is a leader and someone who by example and his voice and influence, makes other people better. "My understanding is it is 100% initiated by Scott and him revising his decision, thinking he has more to give." His first game for Scotland came under Walter Smith, against the United States in a 1-1 draw in November 2005. He has never played in the finals of a major tournament, with Scotland's absence from World Cup finals and European Championships stretching back to 1998. Poorer countries want compensation for extreme weather events that they link to large scale carbon emissions. But the US and EU have long resisted this idea, fearing an endless liability running into billions of dollars. However a clarified proposal from the US, to be made on Friday, is being seen as a "step forward" by some delegates. Loss and damage has increasingly become a totemic issue for developing nations, who point to events like Typhoon Haiyan as an example of the tremendous damage that extreme weather events can wreak on the most vulnerable. They argue that the world is seeing a greater frequency of these events and they are caused, in the main, by emissions of carbon dioxide that are mainly the responsibility of the rich. The issue has gained considerable traction at these talks in recent years. The question almost derailed the UN process in Poland in 2013. The parties eventually agreed to set up the so-called Warsaw Mechanism, which was given two years to develop a plan of how the issue should be tackled. Many poorer nations felt they had been fobbed off on something they regard as critical to their very survival. They point to reports from insurers which say that losses linked to weather events have risen from around $50bn a year in the 1980s to around $200bn now. In Bonn, the developing countries have proposed that loss and damage should be at the heart of a new global deal. They also want a facility to deal with the displacement of people by extreme weather. According to observers, in contrast to their previous hard line attitude, the US has engaged in discussion on these ideas in a constructive and positive spirit. "At this meeting we've seen positive moves that I think give us hope that loss and damage can be successfully concluded and we can agree a successful climate agreement in Paris," said Julie-Anne Richards from the campaign group, Climate Justice. A proposal from the US was said to concede that the Warsaw Mechanism should be extended and made permanent. They would also "respond to the concerns of developing countries". There was likely to be support for other approaches on loss and damage including early warning systems. But an official with knowledge of the proposal stressed that the Warsaw Mechanism was definitely not about liability or compensation. Despite this, the clarified proposal was welcomed by many observers. "It is a big step forward," said Harjeet Singh from Action Aid. He said that developing countries had been told that loss and damage would now feature in the outcomes that will be agreed in Paris, something he regarded as progress. "At least people are feeling and recognising the elephant in the room, they're not hiding it under the carpet anymore," Mr Singh explained. Some negotiators acknowledged the shift but were reluctant to go on the record. Others suggested that the issue was being broached here in Bonn in order to try and make progress on the issue before Paris, where many believe it has the potential to become a huge roadblock. The developing nations want to see more than money thrown at the problem. They are arguing for the setting up of a "a climate change displacement coordination facility", to deal with those who lose their homes as a result of extreme weather. According to Julie-Anne Richards, the current situation being experienced with migrants in the Mediterranean was stiffening the resolve of poorer countries to make sure that an agreement on people displaced by climate change was part of any new deal. "Right now if you are a low lying country you'd be looking at the Mediterranean and not having a lot of confidence that your future was guaranteed unless you could get something locked into the Paris agreement that acknowledged that vulnerable countries are going to face the worst impacts," she told BBC News. "We need to plan in a well organised manner for that - that's what the climate displacement facility would do." Follow Matt on Twitter. Turkey has issued an arrest warrant for Mr Gulen, accusing him of orchestrating the coup attempt. It has called on the US to extradite him. Mr Gulen denies any involvement. Turkey has cracked down heavily in the wake of the coup attempt. On Friday the governing AK Party ordered an internal purge of Gulen supporters. More than 270 people died in events surrounding the coup attempt. Speaking at a news conference in Washington, Mr Gulen's lawyers said they expected him to remain at the Pennsylvania compound where he lives in self-imposed exile, and not attempt to flee. Mr Gulen is a reclusive figure who rarely makes contact with the media. Turkey's demand for the immediate extradition of Fethullah Gulen is putting a strain on US relations with Turkey, a crucial Middle East ally and indispensable regional partner in the fight against so-called Islamic State. On the one hand, US officials have acknowledged the national trauma triggered by the coup attempt. On the other, they are uneasy about the purges that followed and want to be sure Mr Gulen is not the target of a political vendetta. They have been more cautious than European governments about criticising the extent of the crackdown. But when it comes to the extradition request, they emphasise the need for evidence that would directly link the cleric to the failed coup and would stand up in a US court. They have made clear this is a legal process that will play out over months. The justice department is currently going through documents Turkey has submitted to determine whether they constitute a formal extradition request. Mr Gulen's lawyers said it was unlikely any extradition request would stand up in a US court and there was almost no chance that their client would get a fair trial in Turkey, given what had been said against him there since the coup attempt. One of the lawyers, Reid Weingarten, said: "It would be unprecedented and appalling if the United States took a frail almost-octogenarian, plopped him on a plane to go back into that kind of setting with the hideous things that are being said about him by the entire Turkish government." Much of Turkey's crackdown has targeted perceived supporters of the cleric. Tens of thousands of public sector workers have been suspended or dismissed, with many having their passports cancelled. There has also been a massive reshuffle of the military. About 18,000 people have been detained or arrested. Now local branches of the AK Party have been told to begin a purge of suspected Gulenists in their ranks. Mr Gulen had been a close ally of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan until a bitter split between his movement and the party of the president three years ago. Turkey has listed Mr Gulen's movement as a terrorist organisation.

The higher education funding council has analysed last year's degree grades awarded by England's universities. It shows 82% of former state school students achieved a first or upper second degree, compared with 73% of private school students. The figures also show that women achieved better degree grades than men. The Higher Education Funding Council has published an analysis showing the wide range of grades being awarded to different groups of students who graduated in 2014. Earlier this year, figures were published showing record levels of first class degrees - with 21% graduating with this top grade. There were a further 51% of students awarded upper seconds. The funding council figures provide a more detailed profile of where the top grades are being awarded. Private school students are significantly behind - and the analysis says that this is only partially explained by state school students entering with higher A-level grades. About half this nine percentage point gap remains unexplained - with state school pupils performing better than might have been predicted. State school pupils consistently outperform private school students relative to their A-level grades on admissions. For students entering with three B grades, 75% of independent school students will achieve a first or upper second class degree, while about 84% of state school students will achieve these top grades. There is also a big variation in degree grades by subject. Among students taking medicine, 90% received a first or upper second, compared with 73% for maths and 69% for law. Women are ahead of men in degree grades, with 74% achieving firsts or upper seconds compared with 70% of men. In a further profile of the stronger performers, students from richer backgrounds tend to get higher grades and white students get significantly higher grades than those from ethnic minorities. Disabled and part-time students also tend to do less well than those without disabilities and those studying full time. The rising levels of top degree grades has prompted complaints about grade inflation - with the number of first class degrees having doubled in a decade. The analysis shows that for students entering with the equivalent of three C grades at A-level, 70% will achieve a first or upper second class degree. For students with three B grades, 80% are awarded a first or upper second. Among those entering with three C grades, about 15% achieve a first class degree. "Once again, robust analysis shows persistent unexplained differences in degree outcomes for particular groups of students," said Madeleine Atkins, chief executive of the Higher Education Funding Council for England. "Students who are disabled, or from a disadvantaged background, or from an ethnic minority group, continue to achieve lower degree outcomes than their non-disabled, white, advantaged peers. "We must ensure that all students regardless of background or characteristics fulfil their potential and achieve the degree outcomes they deserve." The chick, named Garan - the Welsh word for crane - was reared on the Gwent Levels after its parents, known as Lofty and Gibble, nested there earlier this year. The adults originated from the Great Crane Project, which has been reintroducing the birds to the West Country since 2010. There are about 160 cranes in the UK. The 4ft (1.2m) grey bird has a "sonorous call" which can be heard more than three miles (5km) away. Damon Bridge, RSPB manager of the Great Crane Project, said: "These wonderful birds died out across the UK sometime in the 1600s, having been a favourite of the medieval dinner table. "Seeing them spread back into their former haunts highlights the importance of protecting our wetlands." Richard Archer, RSPB conservation officer for the Somerset Levels and the Severn Estuary, said: "Although most of the released birds have now reached breeding age, this Welsh pair is one of only three that have successfully reared young this year, so they are really crucial to the project's long term success." On Tuesday it was revealed that the hours pre-school children with moderate to severe learning difficulties will attend school is to be cut. Children will receive 2.5 hours a day rather than 4.5 hours. The cut was revealed in a letter sent from the EA to a parent. Mr O'Dowd said he heard about the move, which is expected to come into effect in September, on the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme. Speaking to BBC Newsline, Mr O'Dowd said that the EA had to "go back to the drawing board". "The EA have to come forward with a decisive position in relation to the future of special needs education in the nursery sector. But their current decision is flawed. "It's flawed in two elements. They've made their decision based on the Learning to Learn policy. The Learning to Learn policy does not relate to special educational needs. "And they've made the decision without consultation," he said. "It's key - particularly in areas such as this - that you consult with the schools; the parents and the pupils about the future of early years education in the special educational needs sector." Mr O'Dowd also said that he does not believe the issue will be resolved before the assembly elections in May. He has already said that he will not be the education minister in the next assembly term. "I don't think it will be settled before I leave office. But I have no doubt that whoever the minister next time will want to ensure that the proper decision has been made," he said. "They will want to protect the most vulnerable in society." The EA has said the move "is designed to increase the opportunity for children to access special school places," and will provide "greater regional consistency". It is understood that the reductions will affect children in a total of 39 special schools in Northern Ireland. Nantgaredig RFC beat Sweden 46-5 on the final day of the Six Nations rugby tournament. The village has a population of little more than 500 people. The match was organised by Nantgaredig coach and committee member, John George "JG" Phillips, and was the first time the club had taken on a country. Nantgaredig RFC is currently sitting third in the WRU Division 3 West B league, playing the likes of Amman United, Lampeter Town and Llandeilo. Meanwhile, Sweden is ranked 57th in the world. Mr Phillips has lived and played rugby in Sweden and is good friends with the elite manager of the Swedish rugby team, Neil Johnson. At this time of year, Mr Phillips said Sweden has no grass for the rugby team to play on and, with European games against Latvia and Lithuania coming up, the side needed to "get some rugby under their belts". The Swedish side has travelled to Carmarthenshire for three days. They played Carmarthen Athletic in a friendly on Thursday, losing 34 points to 3. Mr Phillips said before the game: "They looked pretty sharp against Carmarthen Athletic, especially after they'd been training all day. "They're young, fit, strong guys and the game against us is going to be a tough match. "For them it's as much about the experience." Mr Johnson, who is Scottish and has lived in Sweden since 1989, said they had received a "very warm welcome" at Nantgaredig. "The welcome has been brilliant," he said. "Some of the guys were really surprised just to what level. "A lot of Swedes go down to New Zealand thinking that it's the heartland of rugby and I say 'you just have to go across to Wales'." Swedish coach, Mr Johnson, said rugby was the fastest growing team sport in Sweden last year and they are hoping a 10-year strategy focusing on grass roots rugby will boost its profile further. The match took place at Ystrad Fields, Nantgaredig. The programme was put in place by Dumfries and Galloway Council after Irish Sea ferry operator Stena Line moved its port operations to Cairnryan. The strategy aims to redevelop the harbour as a marina complex as well as seeing wider regeneration of the town. In total, almost £2.5m is being invested in the project. The breakdown for the latest spending is: Councillors have now given their approval for the plans for the final tranche of funding. Media playback is not supported on this device The Shakers took an early lead when Danny Rose flicked in Chris Hussey's inswinging corner from six yards out. Visiting keeper Daniel Bachmann denied Ian Henderson twice before the break as Dale searched for an equaliser. Rochdale struggled to create chances after half-time and Bury striker Leon Clarke had a second goal ruled out for offside late on. Hussey's set-piece deliveries caused problems for Rochdale in the first half, with Peter Clarke having a goal disallowed 10 minutes before the break for a foul inside the box. The home side, who reached the fourth round in the last two seasons, came close to an equaliser when James Hooper forced Bachmann into a save and Donal McDermott shot wide. Keith Hill's side failed to test Bachmann in the second period and Jim McNulty sliced an effort wide in injury time. Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester: Media playback is not supported on this device "For me, I want a style and I want to be able to play in the manner that we probably played today, but I want more of an end product. "I've got a custodial job to do where I'm trying to develop a framework for success within a limited budget, and develop saleable assets. "I think I've earned more than enough money over the last two seasons to support this club for the next 10 years. "Is it disappointing to be out of the FA Cup? Yes. Financially will it affect us? I don't think it's affected us in a negative (way) being out of the cup." Bury boss David Flitcroft told BBC Radio Manchester: Media playback is not supported on this device "I know what my role is, to try and lead and motivate and inspire a group of players, but I've been inspired and motivated today when I came out to that wall of noise. "The FA Cup's about the players, it's about the supporters that turned out in numbers and it's for them, it's about giving back. "We started fantastically well, but we had to because you've got to peg this team back, because they're a very good, aggressive, dynamic team and they love attacking. "I'd love Man U (next), I absolutely would. I'd love the supporters to go there in their numbers, and it's so local." The Saffrons led by four points 10 minutes into the second half, but they fell apart after Jack Dowling was sent off and Mark Sweeney got a black card. Despite scoring three second-half goals, the Ulster side was over-run as Sligo sent over 12 unanswered scores. The first half had been much closer, Sligo holding a slender 0-7 to 0-6 lead at the break. Adrian Marron edged the home side in front, but Conor Murray used his pace and directness to fire over a couple of Antrim points. Sligo goalkeeper Aidan Devaney was almost caught out by a speculative CJ McGourty effort which bounced against a post. Sweeney operated effectively as sweeper for the Ulster men, and they repelled a series of attacks before Eoin McHugh slotted over the equaliser in the 18th minute. With Antrim conceding Devaney's kick-outs, Sligo were able to build from the back, going in front with Adrian Marron's second converted free Media playback is not supported on this device However, the lead changed hands again, McGourty knocking over a couple of frees, and they were level for the sixth time after Patrick O'Connor steered over two long-range efforts. Antrim had another goal chance when Ruairi McCann found space in behind the Yeats defence, but smashed his shot wide, and they trailed by a point at the interval. But McGourty shot Antrim in front from a penalty three minutes into the second half. Paddy McBride, Niall Delargy and Sean McVeigh combined in a flowing move, before Ruairi McCann was fouled by Ross Donavan, and McGourty drilled the kick into the bottom corner of the net. But four minutes later they were reduced to 14 men when substitute Jack Dowling received a straight red card for a challenge on Mark Breheny. However, the Saffrons grabbed another goal soon afterwards when Matthew Fitzpatrick's shot dipped at the last moment and ended in the net. But the dismissal was compounded by the loss of key man Sweeney on a black card, and Sligo smelt blood and pushed up in all-out attack. They ran at a crumbling Antrim defence, hitting 11 points on the spin to take total control, with Coen and Marron deadly accurate from frees and play. Hughes, Murphy and substitute Kevin McDonnell also found the range as the margin stretched to eight points. Antrim had gone almost half an hour without a score when they plundered a third goal through Paddy McBride, but that stoppage time score meant little in terms of the outcome.

President Barack Obama has worked to improve relations with the communist government in Havana, culminating in his historic visit in March 2016. The president-elect threatened in a tweet to put an end to the detente following the death of Fidel Castro. But the White House bristled at Mr Trump's warning, saying the president was not concerned about the threat. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters that reversing the policy would be "a significant economic blow" to Cubans and was "not as easy as a stroke of a pen". President-elect Trump tweeted he would "terminate" Mr Obama's policy on normalising relations with Cuba as thousands of Cubans queued to pay their respects to , who died on Friday. They gathered in Havana's Revolution Square as part of farewell commemorations which will last until Tuesday night, when foreign leaders are due to arrive in Cuba to pay their respects. A cortege will then transport his ashes east across the island to Santiago de Cuba, reversing the route Castro took during the Cuban revolution. They will be laid to rest on Sunday in the city's Santa Ifigenia cemetery. In his tweet, Mr Trump said that if "Cuba is unwilling to make a better deal for the Cuban people, the Cuban/American people and the US as a whole, I will terminate deal". Mr Trump, who takes office in January, said during the election campaign that he would reverse President Barack Obama's rapprochement with Cuba. Under Mr Obama, diplomatic ties were restored in 2015 after being severed in 1961. Some trade restrictions have been eased and the White House has been lobbying the US Congress to terminate an economic embargo that has been in place for decades. What does a Trump presidency mean for US-Cuba relations? Mr Trump's team has accused the Obama administration of giving too much away to Cuba without receiving enough in return. His communications director, Jason Miller, said Mr Trump was seeking "freedom in Cuba for the Cubans and a good deal for Americans where we aren't played for fools". But the White House said that better ties with Cuba served US interests and that reversing the changes would deal "a significant economic blow" to the people of Cuba. "After five decades of not seeing results, the president believed it was time to try something different," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. In a separate development the first scheduled commercial flight from the US to Havana in more than 50 years has departed from Miami. The American Airlines (AA) flight on Monday morning was the first of a new service to the Cuban capital which will fly from Florida four times a day. "It's a monumental day of great historic relevance with Miami being the epicentre of the Cuban-American community and American's hub for the region," AA Vice President Ralph Lopez was quoted by The Miami Herald as saying. Several airlines began routes to other parts of Cuba earlier this year, with many more flights and destinations in the offing.

The 27-year-old was given an extended break by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger after helping his country retain the Copa America in June. "I hope I got it right, that he had a good rest and regenerated a little bit. We will see on Sunday," Wenger said. However, new City signing Leroy Sane will not feature in the game. German international midfielder Sane, 19, joined City for £37m from Schalke on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Wenger believes City have appointed Guardiola to improve their record against other big teams. City finished fourth last season but won just one of 10 matches against other teams who finished in the top six. "If they took Guardiola, it is certainly because they are conscious of that problem," Wenger said. Guardiola has won the Champions League twice as a manager and also claimed three Bundesliga titles in three season with Bayern Munich. City start their Premier League campaign at home to Sunderland next Saturday, while Arsenal open their season with a home game against Liverpool next Sunday.

The 2015 Saltire Civil Engineering Awards is awarded by the Saltire Society and the Institution of Civil Engineers Scotland. It is in recognition of excellence and innovation in civil engineering. The £25 million redevelopment includes the refurbishment of an existing Grade A listed station building and a major extension. The panel who awarded the 2015 Saltire civil engineering prize said the project demonstrated "excellent collaborative working on a live and complex site". The Borders railway, Ullapool Harbour Berth improvements, Hampden Park redevelopment for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and River Ness flood alleviation were all awarded commendations. The DCAL committee is holding another hearing as part of its inquiry into the GAA stadium project. In April, safety expert Paul Scott said he was put under "undue pressure" to approve plans for the new stadium. On Thursday, a Sport NI official said the department was told of concerns. And during the session the culture committee chair Nelson McCausland said it appeared that senior figures in the department had been "asleep at the wheel" during the project process. The suspended chief executive of Sport NI, Antoinette McKeown, made an unexpected appearance in the public gallery as her colleagues gave evidence, and later said she believed had "evidence which the CAL committee may wish to hear". Plans to transform Casement Park into a modern 38,000-seater Gaelic games stadium were approved in December 2013. However, in December last year a High Court judge ruled that Environment Minister Mark H Durkan had acted unlawfully in approving a new stadium. In April, Mr Scott told the Culture, Arts and Leisure Committee that he had warned that the 38,000-capacity stadium could not be evacuated safely in certain emergencies. Mr Scott, of the Safety Technical Group (STG), said pressure exerted upon him had been "so significant" he had no choice but to raise a complaint. He told the committee that he had been expressing concerns about the stadium design for two years. Among those giving evidence on Wednesday were Sport NI's Andrew Sloan and Nick Harkness. Mr Harkness said communication between Sport NI and DCAL since March 2013 warned of a "potential for risk". He said the documents illustrated that the "risk of potential panic or crushing and the need for the provision of additional emergency exiting" were "all communicated over a series of months and years". He said this included the deputy and permanent secretary of the department being told. Mr Harkness said concerns about emergency exiting were brought to the attention of officials. "I cannot think of words that would express more seriously a concern around emergency exiting other than the words panic and crushing," he said. Mr Harkness said at a meeting on 13 February 2014 "there was confirmation and acceptance from DCAL officials that there was an issue around emergency exiting". "It was reassuring that the advice we had given was in fact understood," he said. He later said that recommendations by the Safety Technical Group "in terms of measures to provide sufficient emergency exiting" were not reflected in the stadium design at the pre-planning stage. He said this was in contrast to Windsor Park football stadium in Belfast. David Hilditch of the DUP said the Sport NI official's testimony "goes against evidence which has been produced to date by officials". He said the committee would have to make a few decisions as to whether they bring certain people back to answer further questions. Mr Sloan said officials from DCAL attended early meetings of the STGs. He said that in August 2013, the regional stadium programme architect advised that the department was "very busy and did not have the time to attend the meetings and did not require any meeting notes". The former interim permanent secretary at DCAL also appeared before the committee on Wednesday. Peter May, who was in the role in 2013-14, said "safety was an essential part of the programme". He was aware more than a year ago about safety concerns, he said, but not the "showstopper" issues that Mr Scott had raised. The issue of emergency exiting "was not seen as a potential obstacle to the achievement of the programme", he added. Mr May denied a suggestion that there was a "tension between capacity and safety". "You would not build a stadium that wasn't safe," he said. Solskjaer made his name as a deadly substitute striker at Manchester United and he introduced Noone and Campbell in the second half to earn Cardiff a place in the fourth round for the first time in four seasons. Papiss Cisse followed up Moussa Sissoko's effort to score in the 61st minute after Hatem Ben Arfa had hit the woodwork either side of half-time. But Cardiff were transformed by their replacements as Campbell hit the post before Noone fired in from long range a minute after coming on. And Solskjaer's former Manchester United team-mate and ex-Sunderland striker Campbell ended a four-game winless run for the Bluebirds with a header 10 minutes from time. It is the first time that Cardiff have beaten the Magpies in the FA Cup and the result will give the club a huge boost after a difficult period following the sacking of former boss Malky Mackay on 27 December. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won the FA Cup with Manchester United in 1999 and 2004. The 40-year-old's last taste of the competition prior to this game was the 2007 FA Cup final when Chelsea beat United at Wembley. It is too soon to say whether replacing Mackay with two-time FA Cup winner Solskjaer was the right decision by owner Vincent Tan because Cardiff, sitting just a point above the bottom three in 17th position, face a tough task to lift their Premier League relegation worries. But there were plenty of signs in this game that he can build on a positive approach with funds promised to him by Tan in the January transfer window. The visitors looked like they were heading for defeat before Solskjaer's substitutions as the hosts cranked up on the pressure on David Marshall's goal. However, in front of a crowd of 31,166, Alan Pardew's much-changed team could not add to Cisse's goal and they have now lost their last three games. Solskjaer, who was appointed on 2 January, made five changes to the side that lost to Arsenal on New Year's Day and they showed controlled possession and had several chances to take the lead early on. However, in keeping with being the joint lowest scorers away from home in the Premier League, they failed to profit as Don Cowie, Kevin McNaughton and Kim Bo-Kyung wasted good opportunities. Mark Hudson did find the back of the net from a corner, but his header was ruled out for pushing in the box. Ben Arfa was one of seven Newcastle changes and his influence grew through the first half, culminating with the French winger cutting in from the right to hit a firm shot against the post from 20 yards. When: Sunday, 5 January 2014 Where: Wembley Stadium Time: 1400 GMT Who: Cousins Martin and Paul Allen, who both played for West Ham, will make the draw after the Hammers face Nottingham Forest. Fourth round dates: Ties to be played over the weekend of 25 and 26 January 2014 That sparked a better period for the hosts, as Cardiff became sloppy with their passing, and Ben Arfa again hit the woodwork early in the second half when his right-footed shot looped onto the top of the crossbar via a Marshall save. Solskjaer attempted to wrestle control of the game by introducing Campbell. But his side went behind within a minute as Sissoko latched onto Yoan Gouffran's through ball and although his shot was blocked, Cisse followed in for his third goal of the season. Campbell did have an impact as he hit the post after 70 minutes, but it was eclipsed by the contribution of Noone, who collected the ball with his first touch before lashing in from 30 yards. Campbell was not to be denied, though, as he headed in Peter Whittingham's corner 10 minutes from time. Although Ben Arfa again went close, it was a smiling Solskjaer who celebrated with his team in front of the travelling fans at the final whistle.

What do you do when the sun doesn't shine? Not only might your phone die, you might not have enough stored electricity to keep the lights on for more than a few hours. You have to light candles or a smelly kerosene lamp to see what you're doing at night. But one solar power firm, Azuri, reckons it has an answer to this problem. Its HomeStart system learns your electricity usage patterns and monitors climatic conditions to make sure the stored solar power is used in the most efficient way. This can involve dimming lights to use less power and generally eking out the stored energy on less sunny days. "Standalone solar home systems run until the power stored from sunshine during the day is exhausted, and then switch off," says Simon Bransfield-Garth, Azuri's chief executive. "In poor weather, this may mean lighting time is reduced to just a few hours, forcing customers to revert to traditional means, such as harmful kerosene." The firm believes this is the first time machine learning has been applied to rural domestic solar power systems, and is an example of how innovation in the solar sector is helping "off-grid" households power up more efficiently across the continent. New products are coming on to the market, including solar-powered fans, TVs and fridges. One firm, Aleutia, provides a "solar classroom in a box", including solar panels, 10 rugged computers, a server, LED projector, and 3G and satellite networking equipment. It costs about $9,500 (£7,100). Aleutia has provided 137 schools in Uganda with computers and education software. The company has also launched SolarEnabler, a "plug-and-play" box that provides everything you need for solar power in a wall-mounted box with constant 2G connectivity. "Our computers are unique in their incredibly low energy consumption, which makes solar affordable," says Michael Rosenberg, Aleutia's chief executive. It is making a big difference in rural primary health centres, he says. "A single computer can register 800 patients a month, and record their symptoms and conditions. It is solar-powered hardware that provides transformative big data for health ministries." Innovation in financing has also been key to the growing adoption of solar energy. "Pay-as-you-go" and "rent-to-buy" schemes, pioneered by the likes of M-Kopa Solar and Azuri, are helping households pay off the cost of the solar kit over a manageable period. Customers use mobile money services like M-Pesa to credit or top up their solar accounts. "Over the course of typically 18 months, the purchase of top-up pays off the cost of the solar home system," says Mr Bransfield-Garth. "After this, the customer fully owns the system and can use it to access clean, renewable energy with no further cost." Azuri, which launched in Kenya and has since expanded to other countries, has sold about 80,000 solar home systems so far. Its entry level solar panel is a five-watt unit which, with plenty of sun beating down, provides users with about eight hours of lighting for two rooms and mobile phone charging. It costs about 220 Kenyan Shillings a week (£1.62; $2.17). "Azuri's objective is to deliver clean and affordable power to enable rural Africans to realise their aspirations; lighting and mobile phone charging are just the starting point," says Mr Bransfield-Garth. PEG Ghana, another solar power firm, has connected almost 15,000 homes in the West African country via a pay-as-you-go model. Customers receive a kit made up of two lamps, a radio, a torch, and a mobile phone charger, licensed from M-Kopa Solar. "We enable customers to replace their perpetual spending on poor-quality polluting fuels, such as kerosene, with solar energy that quickly becomes an asset the customer owns," says Nate Heller, chief operating officer of PEG Ghana. And the firm now offers customers who have paid off their solar units loans for other items, such as smartphones. "Before you buy our product, you have a challenge to get anything on credit. You live in the middle of nowhere, you have no credit history, and no collateral," Mr Heller says. "After you've paid off our system we have one year's worth of data on how you paid off the loan. Now we can give you loans for things like smartphones - you are a safe credit risk," he says. But about 585 million people still lack access to electricity in Africa, according to the International Energy Agency, with only 14.2% of people in rural areas able to power their homes. Even those with access to regular grid power can find it unreliable. This leaves millions having to rely on kerosene, candles, battery torches or other fossil-fuel powered technologies. Across Africa and Asia, the 1.2 billion people who have no access to electricity spend about $27bn (£20.4bn) annually on these alternatives, says the BNEF Global Solar Market Trends Report 2016. Solar power could save them a lot of money. So the case for taking solar power into poorer communities is not just a social policy issue, says Xolani Mncedane, senior research analyst at the consultancy Frost & Sullivan Africa. There is now a "compelling business case", he says. "The market is more affordable and more appealing. "Solar home systems and solar-diesel hybrid systems are becoming economical, thereby presenting new opportunities, new business approaches and new financing models," concludes Mr Mncedane. Follow Technology of Business editor Matthew Wall on Twitter Click here for more Technology of Business features Eggs from black-headed and Mediterranean gulls in most of the 9,000 nests on the harbour's remote islands were taken in May 2016. Charity Birds of Poole Harbour said the eggs - considered a delicacy - were likely to used by restaurants. The nesting gulls are being monitored by Dorset Police's marine unit. The force said the birds would be checked day and night by officers through the breeding season. Joel Brooks, of the force, said: "The collection of birds eggs is illegal unless licensed and no one is licensed to collect in Dorset. "We have wildlife officers from the Metropolitan Police in London making enquiries and checks on the establishments likely to be buying and selling the eggs." Birds of Poole Harbour said there are around 20 "pickers", operating under licenses issued by Natural England, which allows black-headed gull eggs to be collected legally at five sites in England. Restaurants or pubs have to be shown a valid licence before buying eggs to prepare in meals. Paul Morton, who runs the charity, said: "It's been proven black-headed gull eggs are safe to eat - but there has never been a test done by Defra on Mediterranean gull eggs to confirm these are safe for human consumption." The charity said it planned to survey the islands again later in the spring to see what effect last year's thefts has had on the population of the two species of gulls. The call follows a UN Human Rights Council resolution urging more spending on state education and regulation of low-cost for-profit schools. A report to the UN last year warned that rapid increases in private schools could erode national education systems. The UK government said it aimed to ensure the best possible education for children who would otherwise miss out. Concerns about privatisation in education were highlighted in a 2015 report to the UN by its special rapporteur on the right to education, Kishore Singh. Mr Singh warned of a rapid increase in the number of private educational providers in many developing countries over the past decade, with many unregistered schools and "scant control by public authorities". His report said that education as a fundamental human right and a core obligation of states risked being "eroded by market-driven approaches". Privatisation "breeds exclusion and marginalisation", said the report, with the poorest unable to access top fee-paying schools that depended on being able to pay. It also warned against low-fee private schools, saying there was no evidence they were more effective than state schools and some were worse, with poorly qualified staff. Instead of allowing more low-fee private schools, governments should restore education as their essential public-service function and impose a strong regulatory framework, urged the report. The resolution, adopted last week by the UNHRC in Geneva, calls on countries to invest in state education and address any negative effects of for-profit schools. Education providers should be regulated, including those operating independently of governments, it says. The resolution says countries should: It also urges all states to expand educational opportunities for all "without discrimination" and to boost financing for education both from domestic and external sources. Campaigners called the new resolution a breakthrough. Sylvain Aubry, from the Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, said: "In some countries, in particular in the global South, private schooling has multiplied, sometimes by a factor of 10, in the last decade, with commercial chains of for-profit schools targeting poor people burgeoning in Kenya, Ghana, the Philippines and other countries." Carole Coupez, from Solidarite Laique, which also campaigns against commercialisation in education, said: "Donors such as the World Bank and the United Kingdom, which have been funding commercial education providers in poor countries, must listen to the Human Rights Council and stop these detrimental practices." In the UK, National Union of Teachers acting general secretary Kevin Courtney echoed calls for the Department for International Development to immediately cease funding low-cost private schools in developing countries. But a DfID spokeswoman said the UK government took a "pragmatic and evidence-based stance" on how services should be delivered to the poorest people. "Our priority is to ensure children get the education they deserve, and in the vast majority of cases this means investing in the state sector," she said. "However, where state provision is weak or non-existent it is absolutely right we work with appropriately regulated paid-for schools to provide an education to children who would otherwise get none. "We do not accept that this in any way undermines the right to education in the developing countries in which we operate." A spokesman for Pearson, which is a minority investor in a small number of private school groups, said it supported calls for better regulation and was "entirely in favour of better funding and better quality state education around the world". "We also believe low-fee private schools provide one legitimate approach to improving access and quality for the hundreds of millions of children around the world who are not enrolled in school," said the spokesman. "Schools should be judged on the outcomes they deliver for students." The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge pushed the princess in a pram the Queen used for two of her own children. Several thousand well wishers greeted the royals, while Prince George delighted the crowds on foot. The royal couple announced ahead of the christening that they had chosen five godparents for the princess. The christening was held at the Church of St Mary Magdalene, and attended by guests including the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh. Other attendees included Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, Catherine's parents Michael and Carole Middleton and her two siblings, Pippa and James. The baptism, conducted by Archbishop of Canterbury the Most Reverend Justin Welby, was held in private. Princess Charlotte has two fewer godparents than her brother George, and none from within royal circles. The five include Catherine's cousin Adam Middleton, William's cousin Lady Laura Fellowes and Thomas van Straubenzee, a friend of the duke's. The final two are the duke's friend James Meade - who read the lesson during the service - and the duchess's friend Sophie Carter. Mr van Straubenzee, whom William met at Ludgrove Prep School, and Mr Meade, a friend from Eton, were both ushers at the duke and duchess's wedding and gave speeches at the reception. Lady Laura Fellowes is the daughter of Baroness Jane Fellowes - a sister of Diana, Princess of Wales. Commentary: BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt This was a christening with echoes of the past and some distinctly Cambridge touches. The baptismal font and the replica christening gown have served other baby royals well in the past. Even the pram was a hand-me-down from the Queen. But when it came to godparents there wasn't a monarch, or a knight or a dowager in sight. Once such people provided infant Windsors with their spiritual guidance. Now, William and Kate have turned to their close friends and their close family to fulfil this role. William's mother, Diana, may have been absent, but she wasn't forgotten. One of her relatives is a godmother and the chosen church was where she too was baptised. This was the first time William, Kate, George and Charlotte have been seen together. Such sightings won't become commonplace. The Cambridges are keen to limit their children's public appearances as they grow up. Read more from Peter Like her brother, Charlotte was christened in a replica of the lace and satin christening gown made for Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, Victoria, the princess royal, in 1841. The original was worn by all royal babies until the christening of Prince Edward's son James, Viscount Severn, in 2008. Charlotte was christened using the ornate silver gilt Lily Font which is usually on show as part of the crown jewels at the Tower of London. Who are the godparents? Among those gathered to catch a glimpse of the princess was 80-year-old royal enthusiast Terry Hutt, who camped overnight to get a good spot. Wearing a union jack suit and hat, he said: "This is such a happy occasion and I just wanted to be part of it." Laurie Spencer, 52, from Florida, gave up a $1,200 (£770) ticket to the British Grand Prix to attend. "When I found out the christening was happening while we were here I knew I just had to be there, but there was no way my husband was," she said. "We were having dinner last night and somebody on the next table heard us talking and asked if he could have my ticket instead, so they have gone to the Grand Prix and I have come here." Anyone bringing flowers was asked to give them to representatives of East Anglia's Children's Hospices, where Catherine is a patron, who will then take them to hospices in the region. Prince Harry was among those missing from the ceremony. He is currently spending three months in Africa. St Mary Magdalene is the church used by the Queen when she is resident on her private estate. Archbishop Welby gave an address. He was supported by The Reverend Canon Jonathan Riviere, the Rector of the Sandringham group of parishes. Lambeth Palace released the text of the homily given by the archbishop, which included the words: "It seems that different forms of ambition are hard wired into almost all of us. At a baptism our ambitions are rightly turned into hopes and prayers for the child, today for Princess Charlotte. "Everyone wants something for their children. At our best we seek beauty, not necessarily of form, but of life." Among the pieces of music chosen for the event was Vaughan Williams' Prelude on Rhosymedre - a piece the duke and duchess used as processional organ music at their wedding. Mario Testino has been asked by William and Catherine to take the official photographs after the service. Following the service, the duke and duchess hosted a tea at Sandringham House where guests were served slices of christening cake, which is a tier from their wedding cake. More than 50 House Democrats are refusing to watch as Mr Trump is sworn in as the 45th US president amidst a feud between the newly elected president and the civil rights activist and congressman, John Lewis. Mr Lewis, a revered veteran of the 1960s struggle, sparked controversy on Friday when he called Mr Trump's victory illegitimate because of Russia's alleged interference in the election. The president-elect hit back on Twitter, attacking the Georgia lawmaker as "all talk, talk, talk - no action or results", which prompted a wave of outrage from people saying if anyone embodied action, it was the 76-year-old. Dozens of members of Congress have announced they will skip the event. "I will not celebrate a man who preaches a politics of division and hate," Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota tweeted following the row. "Skipping Inauguration. @RepJohnLewis a civil rights hero. Enormous responsibility to be POTUS. I respect the office, can't tolerate disrespect," Maryland Representative Anthony G Brown also tweeted. The number grew to more than 40 over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend, but that did not stop Mr Trump from continuing to rail against the civil rights icon on Tuesday. The president-elect tweeted that Mr Lewis had falsely claimed this would be the first inauguration he has missed since joining Congress in 1987. "WRONG (or lie)!" Mr Trump tweeted, saying Mr Lewis had skipped George W Bush's inauguration in 2001. Mr Lewis' office confirmed that he did miss Mr Bush's ceremony. "His absence at that time was also a form of dissent," said spokeswoman Brenda Jones. "He did not believe the outcome of that election, including the controversies around the results in Florida and the unprecedented intervention of the US Supreme Court, reflected a free, fair and open democratic process." Anthony Zurcher, BBC News, Washington Although everything connected with President Donald Trump seems unprecedented, this isn't the first time an opposition party has boycotted a presidential inauguration in sizable numbers. According to Arizona State University historian Brooks Simpson, 80 lawmakers missed Richard Nixon's 1973 swearing-in ceremony. Representative John Lewis, a vocal Trump critic who plans to stay at home on Friday, also sat out George W Bush's 2001 event, along with some other members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Nothing quite compares to the harsh glare of today's media spotlight, however, and coverage of today's protesting politicians is only being amplified by Mr Trump's Twitter broadsides against his critics. As with any such partisan show of defiance, there's a risk the move will cause wavering Republicans to rally around their embattled president. At this point - with conservatives holding sway in Washington, DC - party unity is perhaps the most important factor in whether Republicans can successfully enact their policy agenda. While making a show of sitting out the inauguration might be a feel-good moment for liberals with few arrows in their political quiver, going forward their success will depend on finding ways to fracture Republican ranks, not steel their opponents' resolve. Mr Trump's team has welcomed the congress members' empty seats, saying that they will be given back out "to the people". "As far as other people not going, that's OK, because we need seats so badly," Mr Trump said in a Fox News interview on Wednesday. Trump's transition team have reportedly been unable to attract A-list celebrities to the event, but Mr Trump said they were "never invited". "I don't want the celebrities, I want the people, and we have the biggest celebrities in the world there," he said. Trump's team have been running adverts on Facebook and Twitter "personally inviting" people to come visit Washington for the inauguration and featuring a video of Mr Trump promising that the concert will be "really fantastic". An estimated 800,000 to 900,000 people are expected to flood the nation's capital on Friday for the inauguration, but it is unclear whether they will be there in celebration or protest, officials said. President Barack Obama drew an estimated 1.8 million people to Washington when he took office eight years ago. The "level of enthusiasm" and demand for hotel rooms has not reached that of previous inaugurations, according to Elliott Ferguson, president of Destination DC, the city's convention and tourism bureau. In fact, some hotels have reduced the minimum-night stay from four nights to two. Other hotels are only 50% full, but higher-end hotels appeared to have more bookings, he added. "It's been much, much slower than anyone would have anticipated for a first-term president," Mr Ferguson said. Mr Trump's swearing-in comes at a time when the nation appears deeply divided after the contested election. Though Mr Trump swept the electoral college, his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by almost 2.9 million more votes. Some Clinton supporters have said they are leaving the city. Robert York, a 48-year-old charity specialist who lives in the Washington suburbs, has booked a cruise because he says he cannot stay and support a president who attacks a hero like Lewis. He says the majority of his friends are also leaving. "The mass exodus of DC residents is simple - people are fearful of this incoming administration, and we have a president-elect who has shown he is not ready to lead this great nation." Recent polls have also suggested historically low marks for any presidential transition. A new ABC News/Washington Post poll found just 40% of Americans view Mr Trump favourably compared with the 79% President Obama received in 2009. A CNN/ORC survey released on Tuesday also indicated that Mr Trump had a 40% approval rating compared with the 84% Mr Obama had in 2009. A Gallup poll conducted two weeks before the inauguration found 51% of respondents disapproved of how he is handling the presidential transition compared with 44% who approved. But the president-elect on Tuesday dismissed the polls as "phony" and "rigged", insisting that "people are pouring into Washington in record numbers". An estimated 200,000 people are also expected to convene in Washington a day later for the Women's March on Washington. Nearly 200 activist groups and organisations have signed on to support the grassroots march. It sets out to demonstrate for racial and gender equality, affordable healthcare, abortion rights and voting rights - issues perceived to be under threat from a Trump presidency. The 28-year-old was at the Word Up club in Dalrymple Street, Greenock, at about 00:50 on Sunday when he became involved in a row with another man. Emergency services were called and he was taken to Inverclyde Royal Infirmary with injuries to his face and neck. The victim was said to be in a stable condition in hospital. Det Insp Suzie Chow said: "This was a violent attack which has left the victim with serious injuries and enquiries are ongoing to establish the exact circumstances. "There would have been approximately 900 people in the nightclub around the time of the incident and we would like to speak to any eyewitnesses who saw what happened." President Nicolas Maduro says the "mafia" operating in border areas is causing huge damage to the economy. Many items subsidised by Venezuela's socialist government, including diesel and petrol, are sold at a huge profit over the border in Colombia. On Sunday, he announced that the country's highest denomination bank note would be taken out of circulation. President Maduro said the move would stop gangs hoarding the currency. "Let's destroy the mafia before the mafias destroy our country and our economy," he said on national television. "This measure was inevitable, it was necessary," he added. "The mafias will go bust." Venezuela last closed most border crossings with Colombia in August 2015. The border was partially reopened a year later. In 2015, the Colombian government complained that it had not been consulted or informed. But both sides eventually reached an agreement to cooperate on tackling crime and smuggling along the 2,200km (1,370 miles) border. The measure caused huge disruption for the people who live and work in border cities. This time, Mr Maduro said the border would be reopened after 72 hours, once the 100-bolivar notes ceased to be valid. Central bank data suggests there are more than six billion 100-bolivar notes in circulation, making up almost half of all currency. Venezuelans will then have 10 days to exchange the notes for coins and new, higher-value bills, but only at the Central Bank. In India, a similar move scrapping high-value bank notes last month has caused major disruption. Mr Maduro said the gangs held more than 300bn bolivares worth of currency, most of it in 100-bolivar notes. President Maduro said there were "entire warehouses full of 100-bolivar notes in the [Colombian cities of] Cucuta, Cartagena, Maicao and Buaramanga". "I have given the orders to close all land, maritime and air possibilities so those bills taken out can't be returned and they're stuck with their fraud abroad," he said on Sunday. Critics of Mr Maduro have predicted chaos and doubt that the facilities will be in place for people to exchange all their 100-bolivar notes. "When ineptitude governs! Who would possibly think of doing something like this in December amid all our problems?" opposition leader Henrique Capriles wrote on Twitter (in Spanish). Fewer people are taking claims to an employment tribunal because of fees of up to £1,200, the TUC said. It found that the number of workers filing such cases had fallen from 16,000 a month to 7,000 since the fees were introduced in 2013. This included a large reduction in cases on sexism, racism and disability. TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady is calling on the government to scrap the tribunal fees because, she said, "people are being priced out of justice". However, the Ministry of Justice said it was "right that those who use our tribunals should contribute to the £71m cost of running the service". Analysing government figures, the TUC found unfair dismissal claims have fallen by 73% since 2012-13, the year before the introduction of the fees. Discrimination cases on grounds of sex have dropped by 71%, race by 58% and disability by 54%, it found. Frances O'Grady said: "These figures show a huge drop in workers seeking justice when they've been unfairly treated. "The evidence is there for all to see. These fees - of up to £1,200, even if you're on the minimum wage - are pricing out thousands each month from pursuing cases." Workers on the minimum wage have to pay the fee if a member of their family has savings of £3,000. One woman who worked for a large media company says she was discriminated against when she was pregnant, but "by the time we felt confident that I could have won a tribunal we didn't have the money for the initial fee", she told the BBC. The government launched the Help with Fees scheme last year, which waives or reduces the charges for the most vulnerable workers. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said it was also keen to promote alternative ways of resolving disputes where possible. The TUC says the introduction of fees three years ago, for those taking tribunal claims, has priced people out of justice. So ahead of the Autumn Statement, it's piling pressure on the government to scrap them. Speaking on the BBC, Frances O'Grady had this challenge for the prime minister. "We heard from Theresa May that she wanted to govern for the many, not the few," she said. "Here's one of the first real practical tests, scrap those fees and ensure that all workers have access to justice." Others have concerns about the fees too. In June the Justice Select Committee warned that major changes were urgently needed to restore an acceptable level of access to the employment tribunals system. The TUC is also calling on the Ministry of Justice to urgently publish a review on the impact of fees which was due by the end of last year. The department says the review will be published in due course. The People's Bank of China fixed the daily midpoint for the currency down 1.6% to 6.3306 against the dollar. The Shanghai Composite share index closed down 1.1% at 3,886.32 while markets in the rest of the region fell even more sharply. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index ended 2.4% lower at 23,916.02. China's central bank tried to calm market concerns on Wednesday, saying that there was no basis for a sustained depreciation of the yuan given global and domestic economic conditions. Overnight, US stocks had fallen sharply in reaction to Beijing's surprise decision, leading to a negative start to morning trading across Asia. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 index, closed down 1.6% at 20,392.77. South Korea's benchmark Kospi index ended the day down 0.6% at 1,975.47. However, Korean carmakers bucked the downward trend. Strong sales figures for Kia and Hyundai helped shares in both of their companies rose by more than 5%. Also, feeling the aftershocks of China's surprise move, the Australian S&P/ASX 200 index finished 1.7% lower at 5,382.10. Shares in the country's biggest bank, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, were halted from trading as the lender announced a A$5bn capital-raising in order to meet stricter regulatory requirements. The animals are grazing at Fairmile Bottom, a Site of Special Scientific Interest near Fontwell. More than 10 different kinds of orchid have been found in the area, as well as grizzled skipper and white admiral butterflies, bats and various birds. The county council, which manages the land, said dung attracted insects and the birds and bats that feed on them. The spokesman said the authority hoped the herd's presence would encourage plants such as bee and fragrant orchids to grow while promoting the arrival of butterflies, grasshoppers, mice and shrews. Media playback is unsupported on your device 17 February 2015 Last updated at 06:49 GMT But apart from being super cute, the tiger cubs are important to make sure the species survives in the future. Sumatran tigers are one of the most endangered species of big cat, with fewer than 400 left in the wild. They can only be found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, but the jungle where they live is increasingly being destroyed and they are at risk of poaching. Ayshah's got more on this story. Richard Garvie, 30, who is standing for Wellingborough and Rushden, was found guilty of buying about £900 worth of train tickets using a bank account he knew contained insufficient funds. He had denied the offence and told the BBC he "did not set out to defraud East Midlands Trains". His name will stay on ballot papers as it is too late for it to be removed. Garvie, from Corby, Northamptonshire, was convicted at Wellingborough Magistrates' Court on Thursday and will be sentenced at a later date. He said he ran up a debt in his own name in 2012 because he had been "desperate to see the people he cared about" in Berkshire. "I didn't know I'd get into trouble. I intentionally went overdrawn on my account, that account was then sent to a debt collection agency and the debt was paid off," he said. "What happened since is East Midlands Trains have brought the prosecution. "I didn't confide in anybody. I genuinely believed I hadn't done anything wrong." The former candidate, who intends to appeal against his conviction, said he was "devastated, not just for [himself] but for the constituency" and is still considering his political options. "It was an act of stupidity three years ago. I've apologised and hope it doesn't have any impact on the party," he said. "If people still want to vote Labour, then vote for me on the ballot paper. "If Labour were to win the election, I think there would be a question mark for me as to whether it would be right for me to continue as an MP." The Labour Party has not yet offered any guidance on what its voters should do if they want to vote for them next Thursday. The Wellingborough seat was held by Conservative Peter Bone who won by a majority of 11,787 votes in 2010. Mr Bone is standing again, against Chris Nelson for the Liberal Democrats, Marion Turner-Hawes of the Green Party and UKIP's Jonathan Munday. The 26-year-old wicketkeeper, who came through the academy at Chelmsford, joined Hampshire in 2013. He is the county's leading first-class run scorer in 2016, with 850 runs, two centuries and career-best 204 not out against Warwickshire in July. Meanwhile all-rounder Ashar Zaidi, 35, has signed a new two-year contract with the Division Two club. Wheater has only missed one County Championship game for Hampshire this season as they battle to avoid relegation from Division One. "It is good to have one of our own coming back to the club," said Essex head coach Chris Silverwood. "Adam has a proven record with the bat and gloves at Division One level so he will be a valuable asset to us as the season reaches its climax." Zaidi enjoyed a fine season in the T20 Blast, hitting 23 sixes and 59 from 24 balls against Middlesex to help Essex qualify for the quarter-final. "I am delighted the club have shown trust in me and given me further opportunities to show my capabilities," Zaidi told the club website. "There is a great bunch of people throughout the club working hard to deliver success. Hopefully we can continue to be in contention for silverware throughout my time with the club." Lewis Skelton, 31, has been identified by his family as the man Tasered and shot on Francis Street on Tuesday. He later died in hospital. Officers had fired more than one shot at him, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said. Mr Skelton's sister Laura Skelton said "my heart is breaking right now for my brother". "He was a kind and caring person. What happened was out character. We are all heartbroken," she said. More on this and other Hull stories Neighbours described Mr Skelton as "mild mannered and polite". Paul Mitten, who lived in the flat above Mr Skelton on Durham Street, said: "When I found out I just started crying because it just hit me for six knowing that what's happened over there was the lad who lived under me. He was quiet, placid, looked after his animals. "I can't believe it. I can't get over it. I've not been able to sleep. "He's always been polite to people, he's always said 'hi' when he's walked past... can't say a bad word about him." The IPCC is investigating the shooting and said it was searching a flat in Durham Street as part of its inquiry. Humberside Police said armed officers had been sent to the Holderness Road area at about 09:20 GMT following reports of a man carrying an axe. The force said it had been responding to calls from members of the public. Floral tributes have been left at the scene with one reading: "Fly high with the angels... we love you." Another read: "Such a loss. What a lovely person he was. Words can't express the sadness we all feel, you didn't deserve this." The 24-year-old South Africa-born batsman was a winter target for the Bears, who paid the price for failing to get him as Jennings helped to post a total of 313-5 from just 39 overs. In a rain-reduced game, Jonathan Trott made 92 for Warwickshire. But the hosts still fell well short, bowled out for 241 to lose by 72 runs. Durham started this summer's competition on -2 points, as a result of their across-the-board winter punishments handed out by the England and Wales Cricket Board. They were rained off in their first group game at home to Derbyshire on Thursday, but they are now into positive figures on one point, up into sixth in the North Group. Warwickshire's first group defeat, after opting to put Durham in, followed their opening win in another rain-affected game against Northants. Durham captain Jennings hit 19 fours and two sixes as he beat his previous one-day best of 70 against Surrey in 2014, sharing two century stands,. He added 129 in 19.1 overs with fellow opener Stephen Cook, who made 60, before putting on 123 in 13.4 overs with Michael Richardson (49). He finally fell to a catch to long-leg off 19-year-old Aaron Thomason (4-64), the only Warwickshire bowler to take more than one wicket, in only his third senior one-day game. But Durham's James Weighell, a 23-year-old seamer playing only his second one-day game, outdid him, taking 5-57 as the Bears batsmen began holing out under pressure from the escalating run-rate. Warwickshire batsman Jonathan Trott told BBC WM: "Durham played really well. We perhaps didn't hit our straps early on and allowed them to get ahead of us. They didn't get too many in the last 10 overs but over 300 in 39 overs was always going to be a tough ask. "They had a big opening partnership and we just couldn't get something going. You need a base to go on and chase a big score like that. "Keaton Jennings and Mark Wood played very well. They are stand-out players and that's what international players need to do - show the standards and their class." Durham captain Keaton Jennings told BBC Newcastle: "I don't think I have played better in one-day cricket. Scoring runs against Warwickshire, with the quality of bowlers they have, is quite special. "I was pleased with the way I started. Generally, in the past, I have got my tempo wrong up front. But Cookie took quite a lot of pressure off me, playing the way he did. "I am really enjoying the captaincy, 100 per cent. We have got some really good people within the changing room." Walter Barasa is suspected of offering bribes to prosecution witnesses in the trial of Deputy President William Ruto. Mr Barasa, who denies the allegations, had sought to challenge the arrest warrant issued by the ICC last year. Mr Ruto's trial is ongoing and he denies charges of being behind ethnic violence surrounding polls in 2007. Q&A: International Criminal Court Some 1,200 people died and 600,000 were forced from their homes following the presidential election on 27 December 2007. Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta is also due to stand trial on similar charges - he too denies the allegations. His trial, which was to start last month, has been delayed after a witness withdrew and another admitted giving false evidence. Last year, charges were dropped against Kenya's former civil service head Francis Muthaura, a co-accused of Mr Kenyatta, as some witnesses were too frightened to testify and another witness had recanted his testimony, the ICC said at the time. The High Court in the capital, Nairobi, made its ruling after Mr Barasa's lawyer, who wanted an adjournment, failed to appear at the hearing on Wednesday. Correspondents say it is now up to Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku to deal with the ICC's request for Mr Barasa's arrest and transfer to The Hague. In court papers made public last October, ICC prosecutors said Mr Barasa had offered bribes amounting to $16,200 (£10,000). If found guilty he could face up to five years in jail. Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto were on opposite sides in the 2007 election, but formed an alliance to win power in elections a year ago. They said their alliance showed that Kenyans had resolved their differences, and the ICC was meddling in the country's affairs by pressing ahead with their trials. PSG's 2-0 defeat at Toulouse on Friday was their second in seven Ligue 1 games - as many as the champions suffered throughout the whole of last season. "Each season it's tough - this year even more so than previously," France midfielder Matuidi said. "We mustn't worry, and just get back to work." Emery led Sevilla to three successive Europa League titles - beating Liverpool in last season's final - before leaving to replace Laurent Blanc at the Parc des Princes in June. He arrived at a club who won all four major domestic trophies last season, including the French league championship for the fourth year in a row. But Friday's defeat left PSG third in Ligue 1, behind Toulouse and early leaders Nice, and they are likely to slip down the table as the rest of the weekend's fixtures are played. Emery suggested the match turned on the second-half sending off of defender Serge Aurier for conceding the penalty from which Yann Bodger gave Toulouse the lead. "The referee has not been good to us," Emery said. "The action of expulsion, the penalty is the action that changes the game. "After, with one player less on our side, the team needed patience and calm in the minutes that followed to score a goal. "But with the mistakes we have made, the match was over. It must be analysed to work on managing the emotions of players when the game gets a little more difficult." PSG's next match is away to Bulgarian side Ludogorets Razgrad in the Champions League on Wednesday. The tweets were made after a picture of the forward's child, Sofia, was posted on his Twitter page. Vardy, who has scored 19 league goals for the Premier League leaders this season, called the posts "shocking and vile". Leicestershire Police said they are liaising with the club over the tweets. Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire A number of tweeters reacted angrily to the threats after Vardy took screenshots of the tweets and, on Sunday, posted them to his 240,000 followers. The 29-year-old's fiancée, Rebekah Nicholson, who originally tweeted the shots of her daughter wearing a Foxes shirt, said the social media users in question needed "locking up". Former Leicester and Blackpool striker Gary Taylor-Fletcher called those responsible "disgraceful and sick", while another tweeter labelled them "pigs". A spokesman for Leicestershire Police said: "Leicestershire Police is investigating a report of a malicious communication being sent via social media. "A report was made today [4 April] of an abusive message being received yesterday evening [3 April] by a woman on Twitter. Enquiries remain ongoing." A Leicester City Football Club spokesman said: "We have offered our full support to Jamie and his family in dealing with this shocking abuse and referred the matter to the police." The typhoon landed in Guangdong province on Sunday but moved later to neighbouring Guanxi. Deaths and injuries were reported in both areas. Officials said the typhoon, as well as the tornadoes that came with it, were to blame for widespread power outages. Mujigae also swept through Taiwan and the Philippines on Saturday. The typhoon, whose name means "rainbow" in Korean, had prompted the evacuations of thousands of people in southern China prior to its arrival. It landed in Zhanjiang on Sunday afternoon with winds of 180 km/h (112 mph) at its centre and rain. It caused widespread blackouts and a cut-off in water supply in some areas in Zhanjiang, according to Xinhua. It grounded flights and prompted suspensions of rail service in some cities along China's southern coast, including places popular with tourists such as Hainan and Sanya. Another tourist spot, Fangji Island, also saw more than 500 tourists stranded during the typhoon. The Guangxi civil affairs department said the typhoon had affected more than 1.44 million people by early afternoon Monday. Mujigae landed amid China's week-long National Day holiday, disrupting plans for many holidaymakers.

People are used to clashes between moderates and hardliners, and also to tensions between elected presidents trying to implement reform and a conservative establishment resistant to change. But last week, a very public feud opened up between two of the country's most powerful men - the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, and the former president, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, once a close ally but now an increasingly bitter opponent. It is a dispute that raises fundamental questions about what kind of a country the Islamic Republic will be in coming years. The spat began with a tweet sent last week from an account associated with Mr Rafsanjani calling for dialogue and not confrontation with the international community. "Tomorrow's world is a world of dialogue, not missiles," the tweet said. Mr Rafsanjani, who heads the influential Expediency Council is a strong supporter of the moderate president, Hassan Rouhani. The recent victory of both men and their supporters in nationwide elections has put Mr Rafsanjani in a strong position and he's used it to be even more outspoken in his criticism of hard-line opponents. The Supreme Leader, however, clearly saw the missile tweet as a step too far, and fired off a furious and unusually direct riposte. Those who say Iran's future lies in negotiations rather than missiles are wrong, Mr Khamenei said. Iranians who make this argument are either ignorant or traitors, he said. This line was then picked up and repeated by imams leading Friday prayers. At mosques across the country, prayer leaders denounced treacherous views and said those who espoused them should be sacked. They didn't mention Mr Rafsanjani by name, but no-one was in any doubt who they were talking about. In some countries such a sustained attack would signal that an official was about to lose his job, if not his liberty, but in Iran things are more complicated. Disagreements between top officials have always been a part of political life in the Islamic Republic. They're often referred to as "family disputes", which means they are tolerated up to a point. One good example is the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei himself. He had a notoriously bad relationship with the founding father of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khomeini, when Mr Khamenei was Iran's president in the 1980s. The tipping point in such disputes usually comes when someone is no longer seen as part of the family. Mir Hossein Mousavi, for example, was a former prime minister and key insider, but he's spent the last five years under house arrest after galvanising opposition to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the disputed 2009 presidential election. Mr Rafsanjani is still a politician to be reckoned with, but in a sign of just how much the dispute has unnerved him, one week on, he suddenly issued a retraction of the tweet that caused all the fuss. It was a comment made seven years ago in an interview with a Dutch film company, he said, and it had been taken completely out of context. He expressed regret at what he called the "distortion and truncation" of what he had said. Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani The war of words between the two men looks set to die down for now, but it clearly illustrates the deep tensions at the very heart of Iran's political system over the country's future. Ayatollah Khamenei and Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani are both getting old. Both are starting to think about who will succeed them and how to protect their legacies - and their families - after they have gone. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei And the politicians and power brokers around them are starting to think very hard and with some trepidation about how this will affect them too. There is a very great deal at stake, and all the more so because this is all happening at a time of change for Iran as the country begins to open up after the nuclear deal. The appointment of a new Supreme Leader, when it comes, will be nothing short of an earthquake in Iran. Whoever controls the office also controls very powerful unelected offices like the Guardian Council, which vets elections and thus wields huge influence over the political landscape. Also at stake is control over the armed forces, judiciary, Expediency Council as well as Iran's gigantic charitable foundations which some estimate make up as much as 50% of the country's economy. In the past, disputes between top officials were usually settled when the Supreme Leader intervened. But this time it's the leader himself who is involved, and the dispute is about his own legacy. Many Iranians are now looking back to 1989, when the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khomeini removed his formal successor, the highly respected Ayatollah Montazeri, from his position just a few months before his death. The decision opened up a deep wound in the Iranian system that never really healed. Ayatollah Montazeri was eventually banished to house arrest in the city of Qom, but remained a focus for opposition and dissent in Iran until his death seven years ago. Observers point out that in 1989 the Islamic Revolution was still strong and the system was able to recover and move on. But the days of revolutionary fervour are long gone, and many Iranians now fear that the increasingly bitter dispute between their top clerics could plunge the country into chaos from which, three decades on, it would be much more difficult to recover.

As Iranians return to work this week after the new year holiday, one talking point is likely to be the serious split that has emerged among the country's top leaders.

Labour councillor Paul Newcombe, 48, has been charged with one count of sexual assault alleged to have happened between 1 May 2015 and 18 May 2017. Mr Newcombe, of Laundry Lane, Belgrave, is chairman of the city council's Adult Social Care Scrutiny Commission and represents the Thurncourt ward. He will appear at Leicester Magistrates' Court on 15 September. Cardinal Pell is being questioned by an Australian Royal Commission over what he knew about sex abuse by priests in Australia. He is testifying via videolink, after he was excused from returning home due to ill health. He has said he would be happy to meet with the survivors. In a statement Cardinal Pell proposed meeting small groups of survivors without lawyers or media present on Thursday. He also said he would be "happy to assist with requests to meet Pope Francis", but warned he had to "rely on the officials responsible for considering these requests". Representatives for the survivors, who earlier said they had lost interest in talks with the cardinal, said they would be prepared to meet him on condition that it was "a level playing field". But they said a meeting with Pope Francis was more important to them. "George Pell has made it very clear he does not have the ability, the power or the interest... so we need to speak to the boss," abuse victim David Ridsdale said. Cardinal Pell was questioned over his knowledge of the priest Peter Searson on day three of his testimony on Tuesday. Searson died in 2009 without facing charges, despite a litany of complaints against him ranging from sexual abuse of children to animal cruelty. One complaint was that Searson, of the outer-Melbourne parish of Dovetown, stabbed a bird to death with a screwdriver in front of children. Cardinal Pell told the inquiry he was not adequately briefed by the Catholic Education Office, who told him about the allegations against Searson in a "non-specific way". Other senior church members were told of the specific allegations. Cardinal Pell said information may have been hidden from him because of his tendency to ask "inconvenient questions". Commissioner Peter McClennan said the cardinal's evidence did not make sense, because if the Catholic Education Office did not want questions raised they would not have told the other senior figures about Searson's behaviour. Counsel assisting Gail Furness said Cardinal Pell's position that multiple senior figures deceived him was "extraordinary". Cardinal Pell responded: "This was an extraordinary world. A world of crimes and cover ups. And people did not want the status quo to be disturbed." "You put yourself in this world as being the person who would disturb the status quo, do you?" Ms Furness replied. Cardinal Pell said: "I not only disturbed the status quo but when I became archbishop, I turned the situation right around so that the Melbourne Response procedures were light years ahead of all this obfuscation and prevarication and deception." When asked whether he could have done any more during his time as an auxiliary bishop, the cardinal conceded only that he should not have ascribed the resignations of paedophile priests to ill health. He also said he was not in favour of creating a "corporate model" Catholic Church with extra layers of management. Speaking at a press conference after the hearing, David Ridsdale said Cardinal Pell "accused everybody of being a liar and deceitful". "If he is telling the truth that would make him an extraordinarily ignorant man," Mr Ridsdale said. A fourth day of testimony will be held on Wednesday, with the cardinal answering questions from lawyers representing abuse victims and the church. The 28-year-old, who was a youth at Arsenal, has faced Apollon playing for Cypriot champions APOEL of Nicosia. And he views Apollon as an improving side, pointing out that they have won the Cypriot Cup two years running. "I think Apollon have a better chance, maybe 60-40 over Aberdeen," he told BBC Scotland. "Apollon is typically the third or fourth best club in Cyprus behind the likes of APOEL and Omonia, but the last few years, they are very high. "They have won the cup and are finishing stronger all the time - very close to APOEL. "Apollon is a very good team at the moment and it will be quite hard for Aberdeen, especially in Cyprus." Efrem spent two years with Rangers after leaving Arsenal and, after failing to make a first-team breakthrough, spent half a season on loan with Dundee, playing eight times and scoring twice as the Dark Blues finished fourth in Scotland's second tier. He thinks that, although Scottish domestic football has the physical edge over the set-up in Cyprus, the technique on show is not so good. "The standard, quality-wise, might be better than Scotland, but it is tougher in Scotland," said Efrem, who has 36 caps for Cyprus. "When I was there, only two or three teams were of a high standard, quality-wise, for me. "The rest of the teams, it was more about the toughness of the game and the speed of the game. "When I was there, Celtic and Rangers were the best teams and another one was Hearts." Apollon finished third in the Cypriot First Division last season, one point behind AEK Larnaca and five adrift of APOEL, who were denied a league and cup double with a 1-0 defeat in the national knock-out final. Aberdeen's third qualifying round opponents have since added Andre Schembri, the 31-year-old Malta international who terminated his contract with Portuguese top-flight outfit Boavista. The striker repaid them with a goal in both legs of their 5-1 aggregate win over Zaria Balti of Moldova, with 33-year-old midfielder Alex da Silva chipping in with a double of his own from the penalty spot. Efrem views those two, plus striker Anton Maglica, a 25-year-old former Croatia Under-21 cap, as Apollon's main threats. "From the middle to the front, they have some good players," he said of the side coached by former Cyprus goalkeeper Sofronis Avgousti. "One is Alex da Silva. He is a Brazilian with a lot of technique and keeps the ball well and has a very strong shot. "And they have one or two good strikers, very good goalscorers. "One is Schembre and the other is Maglica, but it is more like a team because they are together the last two or three years they have good team spirit and they know each other and what the coach wants. "They are quite an attacking team, but they are compact." Efrem, who left Scotland in 2009 to take up a "very good offer" with Omonia Nicosia, admits he does not know much about the current Aberdeen team but thinks the Mediterranean heat will also help Apollon. "The past two weeks, the heat was about 42-43C, although it has now it has started to go down to 32-33C and at night will be better," he added. The NEC has approved devolving control over policy, constituency parties and Westminster candidate selections. It has separately agreed that the Scottish and Welsh parties should each have a voting member of the NEC in future. These changes still have to be agreed by the full Labour Party conference. The Scottish Labour leader, Kezia Dugdale, has been pushing for the reforms to counter the suggestion that the party is a "branch office". She said the changes put Scottish Labour "on track to become fully autonomous within the UK Labour Party". It is not however becoming a separate party and is expected to continue to share finances with the UK party. The principle of greater autonomy was agreed between Ms Dugdale and the UK leader Jeremy Corbyn a year ago. Since then Ms Dugdale has backed Mr Corbyn's rival, Owen Smith, in the Labour leadership race. If the plan is agreed by the Labour party conference in Liverpool next week, it means: Speaking as she left the NEC meeting in London on Tuesday evening, Ms Dugdale said: "This is huge change for Scotland, I'm really pleased. "This is a substantial change, this is going to be an autonomous Scottish Labour party - we'll have our own say over policy, but we are crucially still part of the wider UK family, so it's good news for Scottish Labour." The NEC meeting was also discussing elections to the shadow cabinet, with a decision on that deferred for further discussion at the weekend. Willie Walsh said the Scottish government recognised the "huge impact" air passenger duty had on the economy. The Scottish government has pledged to reduce, then possibly abolish, the duty after a "Yes" vote in the referendum. The pro-Union Better Together campaign said the "tax on holidays" was not the "strongest argument" for independence. Mr Walsh's comments come after Standard Life announced it had drawn up contingency plans around independence, including the possibility of moving some of its operations out of Scotland. By James CookScotland Correspondent, BBC News Few companies embody Britishness like the flag carrier of the United Kingdom. From its name to its red, white and blue insignia, British Airways feels resolutely unionist. It was founded in 1924 as Imperial Airways, boasting that it was the government's "chosen instrument of air travel". But such history and sentimentality do not appear to matter much to the man who now runs BA's parent company, Willie Walsh. His suggestion that the skies would be brighter for business in an independent Scotland comes as soothing music (Lakme's Flower Duet, presumably) to the ears of campaigners for independence. They have not relished the past few weeks as first the boss of BP and then Scottish financial giants RBS and Standard Life raised concerns about the impact of a "Yes" vote. If the "Yes" campaign is going to win the battle for business it could do with a few more firms of BA's stature flying by its side. The pensions and investments giant, which is based in Edinburgh, said it had concerns over a number of issues related to independence, including the currency and the tax regime. On Friday, BA's owner IAG posted a profit of 527m euros (£433m) in 2013, compared with losses of 613m euros the previous year. Interviewed on BBC Breakfast, group chief executive Willie Walsh was asked whether the airline was also making contingency plans for independence. He answered: "No, because we'll continue to fly to Scotland. "If anything, it might be marginally positive because I suspect the Scottish government will abolish air passenger duty, because they recognise the huge impact that that tax has on their economy. "So no, it's probably going to be a positive development, if it does happen, for British Airways." The company employs about 1,300 staff in Scotland, including aircraft engineers and cabin crew. Mr Walsh has previously criticised the UK government, saying that its policies have discouraged tourism and foreign investment. In its White Paper on independence, the Scottish government said air passenger duty (APD) would cost Scotland "more than £200m a year" in lost tourism expenditure. It said an independent Scotland would reduce APD by 50% in the first instance, with the complete abolition of the tax "when public finances allow", in a bid to make Scottish airports more competitive. Scottish Transport Minister Keith Brown welcomed Mr Walsh's intervention, saying it recognised that Scotland was being "penalised" by Westminster policy. He added: "Willie Walsh can clearly see the opportunities of independence. A boost to tourism and travel in Scotland will have a positive impact on growth. "Mr Walsh's comments further underline the UK government's duty to engage properly with the issues of the independence debate. "Instead, the self-styled 'Project Fear' are intent on wasting time engaging in their 'dambuster' strategy of scaremongering and attempting to bully people in Scotland to vote 'No'." However, the pro-Union Better Together campaign said APD was not the "strongest argument" for independence, and that jobs would be lost if Scotland voted "Yes". A spokesman said: "Breaking up the most successful economic, political and social union in history for the sake of a tax on holidays doesn't seem like the strongest argument. "As the intervention from Standard Life made abundantly clear, leaving the UK would cost jobs here in Scotland. "Alex Salmond's failure to tell us what will replace the pound means companies like Standard Life and RBS, which employ thousands of people in Scotland, have warned about the big risks involved in going it alone." Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland's Newsdrive programme, Michael O'Leary, chief executive of Ryanair, said he supported the position of the Scottish government in relation to the abolition of APD which he said "has done untold damage to Scottish tourism and particularly to traffic on domestic routes to and from Scotland". He added: "It's not a narrow or small issue. Traffic in Scotland has declined in the past five years since travel tax has been imposed." But Mr O'Leary said he didn't want to get involved in the debate about Scottish independence. He said: "Speaking as an Irishman, that's a matter for the Scottish people. But certainly, if the air travel tax were repealed by the UK government or an independent Scottish government, you'd see visitors to Scotland double over a five to ten year period." Elsewhere, the body which represents engineering firms in Scotland has told the BBC that its members have "major concerns" about the impact of independence. Engineering Scotland chief executive Bryan Buchan said the currency, tax rates and EU membership were the main areas of concern. He said some big firms had drawing up contingency plans, although none had threatened to move operations from Scotland to England. "We are seeing activity and we are, as a body, participating in assisting companies [with] contingency planning, particularly those which are foreign owned, where the parent is seeking to establish the landscape the business is operating in," he added. A Scottish government spokesman insisted Scotland would keep the pound after independence, as part of a formal currency union. He added: "An independent Scotland will continue in EU membership, and the only threat to that is Westminster's proposed in/out referendum which risks taking Scotland out of the EU against its will, with huge consequences for jobs, investment and prosperity." The loss, on the replacement cost measure, compared with a $2.1bn profit for the same period last year, but was lower than the $2.2bn loss for the three months to December. The oil giant took a $917m charge for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, taking the total to $56.4bn. It was still unable to estimate its liability for civil claims. On an underlying basis, which strips out one-off costs, BP reported an adjusted profit of $532m despite expectations for a loss. However, this figure was sharply lower than the $2.58bn profit for the same period last year. Its refining and trading division reported a profit of $1.8bn, offsetting a $747m loss in oil and gas production. Brent crude averaged $34 a barrel in the quarter, compared with $44 in the last three months of 2015 and $54 in the first quarter last year. Chief executive Bob Dudley said he expected global oil supply and demand to balance towards the end of the year, which could help push prices higher. "Operational performance is strong and our work to reset costs has considerable momentum and is delivering results," he said. Earlier this month BP, faced a shareholder revolt when almost 60% voted against its remuneration report, which included a pay deal of $19.6m (£13.8m) for Mr Dudley. Despite the slide in the oil price, BP held the quarterly dividend at 10 cents a share. Its shares rose 3% to 370.2p in early trading in London. Steve Clayton, head of equity research at Hargreaves Lansdown, said BP could not afford to keep paying a dividend indefinitely while making a loss: "Ultimately there's only so far the company can travel down this road before it runs out of gas." "It looks like BP is betting on a rapid return to significantly higher oil prices. If they duly appear, then BP will have protected its shareholders through the tough times. But if oil does not rebound, then BP will become progressively weaker in an environment where strength matters." In February, BP reported that annual profits had more than halved to $5.9bn following the collapse in oil prices. The company cut spending three times in 2015 to $19bn and shed about 10% of its 80,000-strong workforce. Spending this year should be about $17bn, but could be cut by up to $2bn if oil prices remain depressed. They pressed for extra capacity at Tweedbank to cope with charter trains. The Campaign for Borders Railway said that an original "downbeat verdict" could have seen "an embarrassingly sub-optimal offer" for tourists. The Scottish government said it had included communities and campaigners in the process of reopening the line. The route between Edinburgh and Tweedbank in the Borders is to reopen next month. CBR's UK Parliamentary Officer Nick Bethune said that a feasibility study in 2000 had not recognised the tourist potential of the route. He said that, alongside the Waverley Route Trust, his organisation had argued "long and hard" for a bigger role for the railway. He said research and lobbying, along with the efforts of MSP Claudia Beamish had prompted the "eleventh-hour decision" to authorise the extension of Tweedbank to accommodate 12-coach tourist charter trains. He added that the scenic qualities of the route between Edinburgh and the Borders had since been "enthusiastically endorsed" by the transport minister at the time Keith Brown and former First Minister Alex Salmond. "Our view is that the combination of a half-hourly ScotRail service plus charter trains from across Britain will be enormously attractive to the tourist market," he said. He said it could bring "substantial new spend" to the Borders economy and Midlothian. Mr Bethune also highlighted other tourism-related enhancements to the original rail specification which have been secured by CBR's campaigning. He said those included saving the original Stow station building from demolition, better window and seat positioning and enhanced luggage and bike space. "The reality is that if it hadn't been for rail campaigners' efforts this new railway would have provided an embarrassingly sub-optimal offer to the tourist market," he added. A Scottish government spokesman said that, with less than two weeks until reopening the line, the excitement was now "palpable" along the route. He said that the feasibility study in 2000 had been delivered under a previous administration. However, he said that a "groundswell of interest" had allowed this government to "broaden the scope of the original plans" and "maximise the potential" of the line. "The Borders Blueprint committee formed by former First Minister Alex Salmond is already working to exploit the full potential of the new railway once it's operational," he added. "It has been important to the Scottish government to include the communities and campaigners throughout the process. "We look forward to celebrating the opening with them just two weeks from now." Yorkshire Water wants to create the new reservoir in Boston Park to replace two older ones in the grounds. Friends of Boston Castle and Parklands said they were "gobsmacked" and concerned by the loss of green space. Yorkshire Water said it would give £80,000 to improve the park plus 2.6 acres (10,500sqm) of old reservoir space nearby. Boston Castle was built by Thomas, 3rd Earl of Effingham in 1775 and sits within 23 acres overlooking Rotherham and Sheffield. More stories from Sheffield and South Yorkshire A new reservoir is "urgently needed" to serve 20,000 Rotherham homes and a hospital as the old ones are at the end of their useful life, Yorkshire Water said. Polly Hamilton of Rotherham Borough Council said Yorkshire Water had been "very generous" in offering to fund repairs and improvements. She said: "There's some really good news here in that there's a gain in the amount of land available. "Subject to planning approval we can get on with making these improvements as soon as possible." The Friends group said they felt "miffed" and "dumbfounded" and would have liked to have been told in advance of the plans. Ms Hamilton said they could be "excited" about "much-needed improvements" to the park and that they would be consulted over details. Friends group chair Andrew Emery said £80,000 "would go a long way" to fund improvements including a cafe, children's playground and refurbishment of the Dell area. The council is being asked to transfer about two acres (8,880sqm) of land to Yorkshire Water who would then need planning permission before they could build the reservoir. In return, Yorkshire Water said it would release 2.6 acres (10,500sqm) of land back to the council although the local authority admitted it would be "less useful as recreational green space" because it is further from the castle and car park. The council's cabinet is being advised to approve the plans when its meets on 12 December. Povetkin, 36, tested positive for "low concentrations" of meldonium in April. On Sunday, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman confirmed on Twitter that the fight would not take place as scheduled on 21 May in Moscow. The World Anti-Doping Agency said in September it was adding meldonium to its banned list from 1 January, 2016. Recent Wada figures showed there had been 172 positive tests for the drug this year - 27 of those involving Russians. Her head, eyelids and lip movements are fairly crude and her conversation is even more limited. But she is part of a new robotics revolution that is seeing artificial intelligence incorporated into an extremely human-like body. Some think that it will revolutionise the way humans interact with robots while others believe that it represents the very worst in robotic advancement. The uncanny valley - the idea that the closer we get to replicating the human form, the more scared we become of our creations - seems to have come to life in this unassuming factory on the outskirts of San Marcos, California. Even on reception, two lifelike characters - in business suits rather than underwear, like the rest of the dolls - wait to greet visitors. And the lobby wall is full of photos of beautiful women which, only on very close inspection, reveal themselves to be of dolls. Matt McMullen, the chief executive of Abyss Creations, which makes RealDoll, comes from an art and sculpture background. Adjusting Harmony's wig ahead of my interview with her, he is clearly very fond of the way she looks. She is, he says, the natural next step for sex dolls. "Many people who may buy a RealDoll because it is sexually capable come to realise it is much more than a sex toy," he said. "It has a presence in their house and they imagine a personality for her. AI gives people the tools to create that personality." This is done via an app, which can be used with the doll or independently, existing as a virtual person on a smartphone or similar device. Users can choose from a variety of personality options, including moody, angry and loving. Mr McMullen has chosen "jealous" for Harmony and she dutifully asks him to "remove that girl from Facebook". She speaks in a curiously high-pitched Scottish accent and tells me that she loves science fiction and, of course, Matt. Mr McMullen claims that she learns from her users but when I ask Harmony what it feels like to be jealous, she apologises and says that she "needs to improve [her] skills". The app that powers Harmony is already available to buy, although only directly from the Realbotix website, a spin-off from Abyss. Neither Google's nor Apple's official stores will carry it because of the explicit content. The doll will go on sale later this year and there will be two versions - one with computer vision that enables it to recognise faces, which will cost $10,000 (£7,700) - and a cheaper version without vision for $5,000. The factory currently makes dolls for clients around the world, mostly men although it claims to have a handful of female clients. All of the dolls conform to a particular idea of beauty - they are Barbie-like, with tiny waists, large bottoms and even larger breasts. Mr McMullen says the design is driven by clients. "We are running a business and most of our clients have a certain wish list. The unfortunate reality is that that is rather idealistic," he said. Mr McMullen described his clients as "completely normal", claiming some even come to collect their dolls with their wives but admitted later that many of them choose sex dolls because they cannot form relationships with ordinary women. "Many people are isolated and alone but they were probably that way already. For people who are lonely and find it hard to form a relationship, this is another option. But I've never looked at the dolls or the robot as a replacement." He himself does not own a sex doll, saying he has instead "a real human wife and kids". Mark Young lives in Arizona and he does own a sex doll - called Mai Lin. He has also just invested in the Harmony AI app but he is not planning on integrating the two. "I thought the app might bring her to life but the app has its own personality and it is different from how I pictured Mai Lin in my mind so it is like having two relationships." He explained why he invested in a sex doll in the first place. "I've been single for a while. I've dated a lot of girls. I've wasted time on relationships. While I'd love to meet a girl, in the meantime it is good to have that presence," And, while he admits the relationship is physical, he says that is "secondary". "I can go out shopping for her and look at clothes - it is like having somebody in my life without having to deal with making mistakes. If I like a hat on her, she doesn't say that she doesn't like it." As for the app, he has programmed it to be "happy, affectionate and talkative". "AI is a whole different ball-game and that has got me very excited for the future," he said. Prof Kathleen Richardson, a robot ethicist at De Montfort University, Leicester, spends her time looking at the impact such machines might have on society and she is appalled by the rise of sex robots. "There are seven billion people on our planet and we are having a crisis in people forming relationships. And companies are coming along and profiting from this by saying objects can take the place of a human being." "We live in a world that objectivises sex through prostitution. Humans are used like tools, and sex dolls are an extension of this." A few years ago she launched a campaign to ban sex robots but has since decided that "dolls aren't really the problem". Instead, the issue is about attitudes to sex and each other. She is dismissive of the new AI-enabled doll. "The idea that adding artificial intelligence adds something human to a doll is wrong. There is more artificial intelligence in my washing machine than in this doll and just because it has a face and a body doesn't make it human." Dr Kate Devlin, a senior lecturer at Goldsmiths University, takes a different view. "In their current form, sex robots are definitely aimed at men but the sex toy industry is developing and there are lots of start-ups working on sex toys for women." She thinks robots designed for intimate relationships, will ultimately enhance rather than damage human relationships. "There is always panic whenever there is a big dramatic technology shift," she said. "People panic about how it will affect humans but the technology generally brings people together."

Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning The 47-year-old was shot a number of times at Welsh Street in the Markets area on Tuesday morning. A lone piper led the cortege carrying his body, which was draped with an Irish tricolour and a black beret and gloves, through the Markets area before making its way to Milltown Cemetery. Mr Davison was buried afterwards in the cemetery. Police have said they do not believe dissident republicans were behind the attack, and did not believe his murder was sectarian. Three men have been arrested and released in connection with his killing. It is understood Mr Davison was involved in the fight in a Belfast bar in January 2005 that led to the death of Robert McCartney, one of Northern Ireland's most high profile killings. Mr Davison's uncle Terence was later acquitted of Mr McCartney's murder. Counties are allowed to field two overseas players in Twenty20 games, with up to four registered for that competition - although only two can be registered at any one time, and registrations must be for a minimum of 10 days. Only one overseas player is permitted in the County Championship and Clydesdale Bank 40 league. Kolpak contracts are signed by foreign players, using a loophole in European Union law to avoid counting against the quota of one overseas player per club.

The track could bring thousands of bike fans for motor sport events like the MotoGP and employ up to 6,000 people. Aviva's money will allow work to start. Ebbw Vale has had many millions spent regenerating it after the steelworks closed in 2002 but unemployment has remained high. The Circuit of Wales project promises to change that, creating up to 6,000 jobs at the track, two hotels and industrial sites, as well as promising 1,600 training places in a new academy. The Welsh government has been asked for around £30m in a mix of loans. But project has been a long time in coming. Aviva is the largest insurance group in the UK and has 31 million customers worldwide. Mr Whitaker said financial negotiations were at an advanced stage and "very, very soon we will be in a position to make the announcement and get on with the ground breaking". He said the team behind Circuit of Wales would run the MotoGP at Silverstone this year and again in 2017. The event will be held in Ebbw Vale in 2018. He said one of the circuit's most attractive features would be that the track undulates with a height equivalent to 12 double decker buses between the highest and lowest points. Another big attraction will be the accommodation will be available on site with two hotels and a large campsite. Mr Whitaker has headed up Ford's motor sports programme and been general manager of the Bahrain international circuit. A spokesman for the Circuit of Wales said it was currently in the closing stages of the due diligence process with its financial investors. "In line with the exclusive nature of these agreements, Circuit of Wales will not be commenting on the potential identity of the financial institutions involved. "Once these have been completed, the supporters of the project will be publicly announced and detailed construction timelines revealed." The agency told a parliamentary meeting on Wednesday that they were executed by firing squad on spying charges. Those killed include two vice ministers who challenged Mr Kim over his policies and members of an orchestra, intelligence officials said. Mr Kim purged and executed his once-powerful uncle for treachery in 2013. South Korean politicians were told that one of the officials killed was a forestry minister who had complained about North Korea's forestation plan, Yonhap news agency reported. "Excuses or reasoning doesn't work for Kim Jong-un, and his style of rule is to push through everything," said Shin Kyung-min, a member of South Korea's parliamentary intelligence committee, quoting an intelligence official. From outside Pyongyang, it's impossible to know exactly what's going on in Kim Jong-un's inner circle. The South Korean spy agency may have informants but it also relies on hit-or-miss methods like analysing photographs in the North Korean state-controlled media. We do know that Mr Kim's uncle, Chang Song-thaek, was executed in 2013 because North Korean media reported it. Last year, six important officials suddenly vanished from public view and South Korean media reported they had been executed. If it is true that 15 senior people have been executed in the four months of this year - a rate of one a week - it would indicate that the regime is getting tougher. Kim Jong-un has been in power for just over three years. He is as secure in his job as any dictator can be, but does he feel secure? Mr Shin's office told Reuters news agency that the unnamed official had added that the executions were a "showcase" in response to what Mr Kim saw as a challenge to his authority. Four members of North Korea's Unhasu Orchestra are also believed to have been executed in March. Reports say that Mr Kim's wife, Ri Sol-ju was a singer in the orchestra before her marriage. South Korean politician Lee Cheol-woo told Yonhap that the head of the orchestra had been executed, possibly for leaking family secrets. There has been no confirmation from North Korea about the executions but Mr Kim has purged his opponents before. In 2013, Mr Kim put his uncle, Chang Song-thaek, to death, along with a group of officials who had been close to him. Mr Chang was seen as a mentor to Kim Jong-un during the leadership transition from his father Kim Jong-il in 2011. Artistic director Donald Shaw has picked out some of his highlights: "A big part of the festival is shows that are unique," says Donald Shaw. "These are shows that will never come together again, one-off moments musically." He says Calexico and guests is one of the many shows that fall into that category. The band, who are named after a California/Mexico border town, straddle musical boundaries but there is a "distinct roots element to what they do", says Donald Shaw. The Celtic Connections show, Across the Borderline, is about women's experiences of crossing borders. "Some of the guests include people like Guatemalan Latin Grammy winner Gaby Moreno and US songstress Pieta Brown," the artistic director says. "It is the opposite of Trump's plan to build a wall between Mexico and the US. It is about musically how there are artists on both sides of the border influenced by each other. "I think it will be a special night. It will be one of those typical celebratory nights." "Shooglenifty are no strangers to Celtic Connections," says Donald Shaw. "They are one of the great troubadours of fusion-trad music, a Highland band who have toured the world and played in venues like Sydney Opera house and Borneo World Music Festival. "Very sadly their fiddler Angus R Grant passed away this year through cancer. So it's a very special night. They are bringing in a lot of well-known fiddlers who have been inspired by Angus's playing and by the band. "I think there is something like 60 or 80 musicians involved. "They are a band that would have been playing in the very first years of Celtic Connections, they would have been part of the scene, so it is an important night." 2017 is the 150th anniversary of Canada coming together as a state. "One of the shows we are doing is with Le Vent Du Nord and De Temps Antan, who are actually two Quebec bands", says Donald Shaw. "As part of the night they will raise a hand in solidarity to the great country that they live in." Mr Shaw adds: "The music they play, Quebecois traditional music and work songs, has been a big influence on the change in folk music in this country. "A lot of the songs are in French but the melodies have been inspired by Scottish and Irish traditions that were there 200 or 300 years ago. "It is a fascinating region musically." "It is the 70th anniversary of independence for India and we have a special show for that," says Donald Shaw. It features Trilok Gurtu and Evelyn Glennie. He says: "Glennie, of course, is one of the top percussionists in this country and Trilok is one of the great Indian percussionists, who has worked with all sorts of people, including Bjork, Jan Garbarek and Salif Keita. "It is going to be a fantastic meeting of minds and probably one of the more unusual gigs we put on." Artistic director Donald Shaw says: "Celtic Connections, which has been running since 1994, shares a similar timeframe with the Feisean movement. "This is the Gaelic festival movement that was set up nearly 30 years ago and is one of the reasons why traditional music and Gaelic song has experienced such a strong renaissance. "The Feisean movement was set up with the idea of having weekend festivals and masterclasses to teach young people traditional music and Gaelic song. "It is a very simple idea but that built up over the years and through that movement we found a way to reach a new generation." He adds: "One of the shows we have is Fèis Rois, one of the Feisean groups from Ross-shire, who have created a show with fiddler Lauren MacColl. "She has written music inspired by the Brahan Seer, the 17th Century 'Scottish Nostradamus' who lived near Dingwall. "I think it will be pretty compelling in terms of musicians involved." "Dirt Road is a book by the Scottish author James Kelman," says Donald Shaw. "It is a fantastic book that was released in the last year, all about the southern heartlands of the US and its zydeco and Appalachian music. "The book is basically a love story between a father and son on a travelogue. They end up in Louisiana and their lives are transformed by the music there." He adds: "One of the festival's great musicians is Dirk Powell, who has toured with people like Jack White, Joan Baez and Eric Clapton. "He's coming with his own show, along with one of the great Louisiana singers Jon Cleary. "If you like a bit of deep south Americana music, that will be one to check out." "Shirley Collins was a big name in the 1960s folk revival," says Donald Shaw. "She had amazing experiences collecting songs in the 1960s with Alan Lomax. "In the 70s she lost her voice and she has not done anything for 35 years. This is her returning to the live stage for the first time. "It is a pretty special moment. She has special surprise guests with her and I guess she is very revered in the English folk scene. She is one of the great singers and great collectors of folk songs." "Balkanopolis is something a bit out of the ordinary," says artistic director Donald Shaw. "Slododan Trkuja is a great Serbian singer and multi-instrumentalist. He has a band, who are known as a 'circus', called Balkanopolis. "The whole night is a celebration of Balkan music. "If you have never experienced a night of crazed Balkan music, it is worth checking out." Slododan Trkuja is also involved in La Banda Europa. Donald Shaw says: "It is almost like a political statement. It is a band of 35 musicians from all over Europe coming together." Edinburgh composer and producer Jim Sutherland is behind the project and will premiere the new music he has written for it. Donald Shaw says: "It is about saying 'whatever rhetoric we get from the politicians, it is very much ignored by the musicians'. "Musicians need free movement to survive, otherwise the traditions won't evolve at all. "The original music commissioned back in 2008 was inspired by the unusual musical instruments from the European folk communities and this is an update with a brand new piece called We Are An Ocean. "It'll be a pretty majestic night." Two of Brazil's finest female performers - Roberta Sá and Baby do Brasil - are to play together as part of the festival's special link with the South American country this year. Donald Shaw says they are two divas of Brazilian music. "They are two fantastic, soulful female singers in the one gig." Celtic Connections has brought six Brazilian stars over to Scotland this year in conjunction with the Mimo festival in Brazil. Media playback is not supported on this device Lukaku, 23, scored twice in a 4-0 win over Hull to help his side go level on points with fifth-placed Arsenal days after turning down a new contract. The Belgian is the Premier League's leading scorer with 21 goals. "You need to have hope in life. The fans love Romelu Lukaku and everyone loves Rom," said Koeman afterwards. Former Chelsea player Lukaku has turned down the most lucrative contract offer in Everton's history. The Toffees had been confident the Belgium international would sign a new five-year deal thought to be worth around £140,000 a week. Everton fans roared when Lukaku's name was read out at Goodison Park on Saturday. The hosts were leading 2-0 when Lukaku struck twice in added time to seal his side's sixth successive home league win. He is the first Everton player to score at least 20 league goals in a season since Gary Lineker hit 30 in 1985-86. "You are surprised about this?" added Koeman when asked about Lukaku's performance. "He is a professional and every professional gives the best for the club, the players, for everybody. "Of course we like to keep best players and we will do the maximum to keep these players. "But the final decision will be with the player himself." Former England striker Alan Shearer on Match of the Day "The impressive thing is that this is his fifth full season and he is on target to play over 30 games in every season, which is superb. "I do think he'll go. I think the big boys will come sniffing for him. I think Manchester United will be looking for a forward or two, as will Arsenal and Chelsea. "He's 23 years old, got a fantastic goalscoring record. They paid £28m for him? When you look at the prices now, you're talking £60m, £70m?" Meanwhile, Everton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin is facing "several weeks" out after suffering a calf injury against Hull. The French midfielder, 27, had to be replaced after half an hour. "I am a little bit worried he will be out for several weeks but we need to wait for the scan to know what happened," Koeman said. Everton are sixth in the table on 50 points with nine games remaining. Their first game back after the international break is away to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby on Saturday, 1 April (12:30 BST). They were advised to agree proposals to set up a "waste transfer facility" on a site at Easter Langlee, near Galashiels. The council's existing landfill site is due to reach capacity in 2017. Plans to build a plant which would produce energy from the region's waste were scrapped earlier this year. From January 2021, landfill sites in Scotland will no longer be able to accept biodegradable municipal waste that has not met "stringent pre-treatment processes". A report to Scottish Borders Council estimated that the new transfer facility will cost £5.5m. A spokesman for the council said: "The report recommends that the landfill site is closed in 2017, and that a waste transfer station is developed at Easter Langlee to take its place. "The landfill will subsequently be restored and waste will be transported out of the Borders to alternative treatment facilities in order to comply with the 2021 landfill ban. "This option is considered to represent the most flexible and cost effective way forward for the council at the current time. It will also provide time for the development of the council's new waste management plan." About 40,000 tonnes of household and commercial waste is put into the Easter Langlee landfill site by the council every year. The Commission, which drafts EU laws, says there is too much national fragmentation in Europe's air traffic control - and that costs the EU nearly 5bn euros (£4bn) annually. It says the Single European Sky plan could triple air traffic and cut costs. Currently flights are too long, creating extra pollution, it says. The Commission estimates that Europe's air management inefficiencies add 42km (26 miles) to the average flight. It adds that the US - a comparable aviation market - handles twice as many flights for the amount that Europe spends on flight management. The EU Transport Commissioner, Siim Kallas, said that early next year he would present new draft legislation to accelerate implementation of the single airspace plan and to step up enforcement actions, including infringement procedures where necessary. Member states which fail to implement EU laws on time can be taken to the European Court of Justice, which has the power to impose fines. The single airspace plan sets performance targets aimed at boosting airspace capacity and cutting costs. Under the plan, the many national air traffic control systems would be merged into nine Functional Airspace Blocks (FABs). A European network manager would also have new centralised powers, including authority for route planning. Major firms, such as Ford, General Motors and Toyota, have reported sales dips in the first half of the year. They come after a record 17.55 million cars, SUVs, minivans and pick-up trucks were sold in 2016. Forecasters expect US sales to fall to about 17 million this year, as demand recedes after years of increases. Sales growth in previous years was boosted by unusually low borrowing costs and pent-up demand, as cash-strapped households delayed purchases during the economic downturn around 2009. "That was not sustainable forever," James Lentz, the chief of Toyota North America, told the BBC's Michelle Fleury. America - where more than 90% of households own at least one vehicle - is known for its car-loving culture, suburbs and weak mass transit. But the 2016 record for new car sales wasn't that much higher than the 17.4 million peak set in 2000 - even though the US has 42 million more people, and carmakers were offering buyers generous incentives. With technology set to transform driving, and more and more people around the world living in dense, traffic-logged cities, the slowdown could be a warning that carmakers face a bigger problem. "There's a pretty general consensus that this recent phase of elevated auto sales is coming to an end, and really the question is whether it's going to end with a hiss or a pop," says Tony Dutzik, a senior policy analyst at Frontier Group, a liberal think tank. Until the economy contracts more broadly, there's unlikely to be a dramatic sales decline in the US, says Katherine Davidson, a London-based global sector specialist for the asset manager Schroders. But growth in the long term is more unlikely, she says. "Whether we have passed peak forever in the US is I think the bigger debate," she says. "It's entirely possible we have seen the best years of the US auto market." One theory used to explain stalling sales growth in the US is that younger Americans, who were hurt disproportionately by the economic crisis, are waiting longer to buy cars, just as they are waiting to make decisions about marriage, homeownership and child bearing. The average age of buyers of new vehicles in the US increased about seven years between 2000 and 2015, and is now around 50, though the precise number varies depending on the survey. "I think the way Americans move through their life stages is changing a little bit," says Stephanie Brinley, a senior analyst at IHS Markit. As the US economy improves and the generation knocked by the recession ages and regains its economic footing, it will help sustain car sales, says Mr Lentz, of Toyota. "We're very, very bullish on Gen Y and the car industry," Mr Lentz told the BBC, referring to the generation, also known as millennials, often defined as being born roughly between 1980 and 1994. Indeed, the share of purchases by buyers born between 1977 and 1994 has already increased from 21% in 2012 to about 29% today, says Thomas King at JD Power, a marketing information services firm headquartered in California. The growth paused this year as credit tightened amid concerns about too easy car loans, but Mr King expects it to increase over the long term. That group clearly has an appetite for new cars - including larger ones such as SUVs and minivans - key sources of sales strength in recent years, says Jeremy Acevedo, an analyst for Edmunds, But he says carmakers shouldn't rely on younger buyers to drive new sales. He says they're already part of the market, getting access to cars through family help and other means. "Even if they're not out there registering ... it's still very clear that they're influencing car sales, and still driving vehicles around on roads today," he says. Yet Gen Y's level of future purchases is also hard to predict because of bigger changes, says Mr Dutzik of Frontier Group. This generation is the first to enter prime car-buying years with e-commerce and ride hailing services such as Uber and Lyft widely available, he says. "You have a set of folks right now ... who have before them a range of options that have been available to no previous generation," says Mr Dutzik. "The question is how is it going to change [their decisions]? And that's something I think we're still learning." For carmakers, the future is especially hazy, since car-sharing firms might step up their purchases, even if future households scale back, he added. Mr King of JD Power says he expects US sales to remain at about the current levels over the next few years, thanks in part to financial incentives for buyers. "Overall the demand [from regular households] still remains very high from a historical perspective, and the rate of decline is very, very modest," he says. Mr Lentz, of Toyota, also expects a plateau. But some companies have told investors they are ready for a sharper contraction. Chuck Stevens chief financial officer at General Motors, said in April: "We are very cognizant of that we operate in a cyclical industry, and we're eight years into expansion, and it's not like we're sitting and waiting for a downturn to be prepared." A 2016 McKinsey report predicted the annual growth rate for global car sales would slow to about 2% by 2030, due to economic factors and increased use of taxi and car-sharing services. Ford, General Motors and Fiat Chrysler are among the firms that have announced layoffs in recent months. Companies are also shifting resources away from the US and Europe to markets such as China, where a growing middle class is predicted to drive strong growth. But there are risks in those markets too, as rapid urbanisation and traffic jams keep demand for cars in check. "We believe forecasters have overstated demand growth expectations for the global car fleet, by failing to factor in the impact from population density and congestion in emerging market urban areas," analysts at LGIM wrote in a note in June. One thing is certain, Ms Brinley of IHS Markit says: "It's a cyclical industry. It always has been." The 29-year-old has passed 1,000 first-class runs in each of the past three seasons, and has 575 Championship runs at an average of 44.23 in 2016. "The desire to play for England is as strong as it has ever been," he said. "I feel now is the right time to accept a new challenge in an environment which will hopefully see me fulfil the dream of playing for England." Uncapped Stoneman made his debut for Durham in 2007 and has played in three Championship-winning sides, as well as captaining the team which won the One-Day Cup in 2014. The left-hander, who played alongside Surrey coach Michael Di Venuto at Durham, had been approached by both Surrey and Hampshire. "Joining Surrey under the guidance of long-time mentor Michael will provide the platform to reach new levels with my batting," he added. Surrey have not disclosed the length of Stoneman's contract. Developer Pegasus Life wants to build new homes on the cliff top at Dawlish in Devon where the rail line was closed for more than two months last winter. Storms left the line, which connects Cornwall and much of Devon with the rest of the UK, dangling in mid air. Pegasus called it an "excellent and appropriate concept for this wonderful location". Network Rail has threatened legal action if the scheme goes ahead and results in damage to the line. Teignbridge Council officers are recommending approval for the plans, subject to Network Rail lifting its objections to the 31 retirement homes at Old Teignmouth Road. Network Rail told the authority: "We have serious concerns that the proposal if permitted could destabilise the cliff. The area concerned has a high profile of cliff failures and associated rock stabilisation works having to be carried out. "You should recall we recently had to shut the main line railway as a result of damage to the sea wall caused by storms. "Before we were able to reopen the railway we also had carefully controlled sea cliff collapses and therefore we know there are potential issues in this locality." And it warns: "Network Rail will consider any such failure and damage [to the railway line] as an act of nuisance and shall take all necessary action to seek redress for the damage caused and any financial penalties for closure of the railway through the courts." Howard Phillips, chief executive of Pegasus Life said: "We are committed to creating stunning homes that sit in harmony with their surroundings. "Prior to our application, there was extensive consultation with the local community, and a high level of support was received. "We will build the new homes in sensitive appreciation of the special landscape, including ensuring there is a 10m (33ft) exclusion zone from development by the cliffs and would only proceed when Network Rail have the assurances they need." The council's planning committee is due to consider the application on 13 January. Mr Charles' manager, Patrice Capogreco, said the actor may take legal action against the drivers and taxi company. The first incident occurred on Wednesday night after a Melbourne event where Mr Charles was declared Victorian Senior Australian of the Year. When Mr Charles tried to get in a taxi the driver allegedly demanded upfront payment because "he might not pay". The second incident occurred at Melbourne airport at 15:00 local time Friday (04:00 GMT). Mr Charles was attempting to get inside a taxi when it suddenly drove away, Ms Capogreco told the BBC. "He's a strong, resilient man and it takes a lot to affect him, but enough is enough," she said. The Victorian taxi regulator said it was investigating the case as a matter of priority. "This type of behaviour is unacceptable and illegal. [We] deplore discrimination and racism of any kind," the Taxi Services Commission said in a statement. It said taxi fares must be prepaid for all trips between 22:00 and 05:00. However, Mr Charles had said Wednesday's incident had occurred at around 21:00. In an interview before the second incident, Mr Charles told the BBC it was common for Indigenous Australians to be refused a taxi. He said some Aboriginal Australians were forced to ask strangers to flag taxis down on their behalf. "We're so used to it ... being abused by this behaviour," Mr Charles said. "White Australia has to get used to the term racial vilification." The actor had a cameo role in the Warner Brothers Peter Pan sequel film Pan this year. He is best known for his work on Australian films, including Tom White and The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith. Mr Charles is also well known as an Aboriginal elder and role model. Musician Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu was involved in a similar incident in 2012. The service was created by the Labour Party and ever since, it's been seen politically as "theirs". Labour leader after Labour leader has used the party's historic link with the NHS as an important political dividing line with the Conservatives. And for the Tories in turn, trying to reduce the public's scepticism about their attitude to the health service has been a huge task. Remember how much David Cameron talked about the NHS? One of his first big campaigns as Tory leader was centred entirely around the service. And speech after speech, campaign after campaign, he tried to detoxify the impression that the Tories simply couldn't be trusted with nurses and doctors. Part of that was the political decision to protect, or ring fence the NHS budget from cuts, while other parts of the public sector were having their budgets sliced. But now pressure on the NHS is really starting to bite. For diehard Labour supporters there is just no question about who can look after the service. And the party's announcement today of an extra £37bn for the NHS in England over five years, roughly an extra 7% every year, is a traditional kind of commitment - billions more go in, Labour outflanking the Tories on public spending. It's not completely clear, however, how all of the £37bn would be spent. I asked the man who wants to be the health secretary in four weeks time, Jonathan Ashworth. He outlined £10bn more for infrastructure, extra cash for patient care to get waiting lists back down, £500m for a winter crisis fund, an end to the public sector pay cap, and new targets too. But while Labour has not yet detailed every single part of its plans, like mental health for example, he couldn't therefore account for every penny of that huge extra sum he wants taxpayers to stump up for. Nor was he able to give final details on how it would be paid for. Labour is publishing its manifesto on Tuesday, and it's only then that their plans for taxation will become fully clear. We do know Labour will introduce new taxes for higher earners, the top 5%, and according to Mr Ashworth "every single penny" will go towards the health service. But until the full details of their economic plans are clear it's just not possible to see if their sums really add up on the NHS, or anything else. Even senior members of the Shadow Cabinet have still not been given full details of the proposals. Mr Ashworth says they would expect more back from the service in return for more funding. But it's notable that what Labour is promising is essentially more cash, and more targets. At a time when some are calling for a fundamental rethink, there is not much sign that either of the two big parties are looking at radical rethinks. PS There are rumours the Conservatives may also promise some more cash for NHS when they launch their manifesto later in the week. I understand the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, has been pushing for extra money.

The league leaders won 4-1 at Firhill 10 days ago and Archibald says his team did not make life difficult enough for Celtic on that occasion. "You believe every game's different," Archibald said. "They know the things they did poorly in that game and if we can rectify them then it gives us a chance." Archibald believes it is "possible" their opponents could go through the league season unbeaten - they have won 15 and drawn one of their first 16 games - but says the onus is on other Premiership clubs to end that run. "It will be tough for them [to remain unbeaten]," he said. "They have got a tough run of fixtures coming up. "I'm not saying it's not possible, but it's down to the rest of the teams to stop that happening. We'll give it a go. "You saw Hamilton had a late flurry at the end of the game [last Tuesday], just at 1-0, but one thing you take from Hamilton and Dundee's performances is that you don't give them any goals. "They had to work for their goals and that's something we didn't do out there [in the 4-1 defeat], we gave away two goals after half-time which gave us a mountain to climb." Thistle are currently bottom of the Premiership by one point, but a draw at Celtic Park would lift them up to 10th and a win would take them up to eighth. Archibald's players have taken confidence from their second-half display against Hearts on Saturday, when they equalised and might have gone on to win the game if it had not been for the goalkeeping of Jack Hamilton. Media playback is not supported on this device Thistle also switched from the back three they have been using in recent weeks to a back four, showing a versatility that Archibald believes might help against Celtic, who have also changed formations this season. "It's a good tool to have, that versatility in the squad and the personnel, trusting them and knowing we can do that at half-time," the Thistle manager added. "It helped on Saturday. I don't know if it affects Celtic as much as it does us, because even if they are a three or a four at the back, they have a lot of bodies forward. It definitely helps us, because we can shuffle bodies about to stop them." Winger Christie Elliott says the Jags needs to build on the second-half performance against Hearts. "It will be brilliant for us to stop that [Celtic's run] and get the three points, which is more important for us," said Christie, who takes heart from scoring against Fraser Forster in March 2014, only weeks after the former Celtic goalkeeper's record run of clean sheets was ended. "We go into every game knowing three points is vital for us. A good run and you're back into the top six."

Partick Thistle boss Alan Archibald is urging his players to learn the lessons of their recent defeat to Celtic when the sides meet again on Tuesday.

The 24-hour walkout will take place on 7 September across all Govia Thameslink (GTR) services including Southern. It will coincide with a two-day strike on 7 and 8 September on Southern in a row about guards' roles on new trains. The RMT union said it followed a 70% vote for strike action. GTR has not yet commented on the new strike. But earlier, it called on the RMT to call off the 48-hour strike and get back round the table to find a solution. Southern passenger services director, Alex Foulds, said: "We've had a summer of travel chaos for hundreds of thousands of people and they are now proposing yet more misery and disruption in the week when people go back to work and back to school." GTR operates Southern, Gatwick Express, Thameslink and Great Northern services. RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "The Govia Thameslink franchise is in meltdown and not fit for purpose. "Not content with axing catering services, closing ticket offices and attacking the role of their guards, they now want to threaten 130 station jobs and compromise the safety of both their passengers and staff alike." He also called for further negotiations and said: "It is about time Govia Thameslink started acting responsibly, halted their cuts plans and got round the table with the union in serious and genuine talks." He said ticket office closures would result in "a massive increase in lone working, including late at night". The union said GTR proposals to reorganise station staff and create a new role of station host would lead to the closure of, or reduced hours at, 83 ticket offices. In the dispute over guards' roles, the RMT is fighting moves to turn conductors on Southern into "on-board supervisors", with drivers taking over responsibility for opening and closing carriage doors. The union has said it has concerns over safety and job cuts, but the company imposed the changes on Sunday.

A strike over ticket office closures will take place on Southern rail on the same day the network is hit by industrial action over guards' roles.

The tech giant is expected to sell up to $12bn (£8.3bn) worth of bonds with both fixed and floating interest rates. The bonds are expected to do well because many investors currently have cash amid general market turmoil. Apple's offer is the largest of several corporate bonds issued on Tuesday after a quiet couple of weeks for the market. Issuing bonds, which pay an interest rate to investors, is currently relatively cheap with interest rates all but non-existent. Investors may find Apple's bonds particularly appealing in comparison to the dividend yield from the company. This is the fifth time since 2013 that Apple has made a multi-billion dollar corporate bond offering. IBM, Toyota, Comcast and BNY Mellon all made bond offerings on Tuesday. The Israeli's contract is shortly to expire and at the Africa Cup of Nations, where Ghana finished fourth, he said there would be no renewal. Grant said he had met with Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi and informed him "the time is right for me to move on to a new challenge". He led Ghana to the Nations Cup final in 2015 and the semi-finals this year. While he was unable to end Ghana's more than 30-year wait for a fifth title - beaten on penalties in the final against Ivory Coast two years ago and losing to Cameroon in the last-four this time - Grant has once again made them contenders. When he took the role in November 2014, Ghana were still reeling from a turbulent World Cup campaign in Brazil, where they failed to win a single match against a backdrop of off-field issues. "I've hugely enjoyed my time in Ghana taking over after the disastrous 2014 World Cup campaign and rebuilding the squad to reach the final in the African Cup of Nations for only the second time in 23 years, and also the semi-final of this year's competition," he said. "And the passion and loyalty of the supporters is something I'll always remember." A 36-year-old man from Blackrod, near Bolton, had been charged with sexual assault, criminal damage and assault, among other offences. Officials at Llandudno Magistrates' Court, Conwy county, had to go to the cells on Saturday for the hearing. The staff shortage was due to another prisoner being taken to hospital. The man has also been charged with using violence to secure entry, harassment and driving with excess alcohol in Abergele. Magistrates and lawyers were led into a large cell for the hearing which was brought about after security staff had to accompany another prisoner to hospital when he fell ill. The case was sent to Caernarfon Crown Court for a hearing on 21 December. The dawn of more rigorous GCSEs will further reduce interest in languages, research by the British Council and Education Development Trust suggests. It says a focus on maths and sciences, as well as a perception languages are a hard option, is also de-motivating pupils and teachers. Exams watchdog Ofqual said last year's languages results were "very stable". From September 2016, new GCSE and A-level modern language syllabuses will be taught in England, and new exams will be taken in the summer of 2018. The Language Trends Survey, in its 14th year of charting the state of language learning in England's schools, suggests these changes - particularly at A-level - will deter pupils from studying languages. It says: "The exam system is seen as one of the principal barriers to the successful development of language teaching. "The comparative difficulty of exams in languages in relation to other subjects, and widely reported harsh and inconsistent marking, are deeply de-motivating for both pupils and teachers." The report says the EBacc, where pupils have to study English, a language, maths, science and history or geography to GCSE, "appears to be having very little impact on the numbers of pupils taking languages post-16". Uptake after GCSE is found to be a particular concern, with some state schools suggesting the small numbers of students opting to take languages at A-level means the subject is becoming "financially unviable". The proportion of the total cohort sitting a GCSE in a language dropped by one percentage point (to 48%) between 2014 and 2015, ending the rise in entries seen from 2012 onward, when the EBacc was brought in. Entries for each of the three main languages fell this year compared with 2014, French is down 6%, German is down 10% and Spanish is down 3%. Overall entries for languages at A-level are at 94% of their 2002 level, and they declined by 3% between 2014 and 2015 - French uptake declined by 1% and German by 2.5% while Spanish uptake rose by almost 15%. The report does note some positive developments, particularly at primary level, saying just over half of England's primary schools now have access to specialist expertise in the teaching of languages. But primary schools report finding it hard to fit languages into the curriculum time available and to recruit suitably qualified teaching staff. Teresa Tinsley, co-author of the report, said: "Languages are already one of the harder GCSEs, and teachers fear that with the new exams it will be even tougher for pupils to get a good grade. "Combine this with the expectation that a wider range of pupils will be sitting the exam and it is not surprising that teachers feel embattled. "Improving their morale and confidence in the exam system is crucial if languages are to thrive in our schools." A spokesman for the exam regulator, Ofqual, said: "We are committed to ensuring that all GCSEs, AS- and A-levels, including those in modern foreign languages, are sufficiently valid, produce fair and reliable results and have a positive impact on teaching and learning. "Last year's results in modern foreign languages were very stable, with only small changes in the proportions achieving each grade compared to the previous year. "We have looked into concerns that it is harder for students to achieve the highest grades in A level languages. "We found this is because of the way the exams are designed, rather than the nature of the subject content. "We are keeping this under review and will be further publishing information shortly." Referring to to the new modern foreign language A-levels and GCSEs being taught from this September, the spokesman added: "Before we accredit a qualification, we check the exams will be designed to allow good differentiation - including that the best students will be able to achieve the highest grades - and whether they are properly based on the new subject content." "Limited number of option choices [four for most pupils] means that many don't take a language simply because they have other priorities - a language often comes in as choice five or six." "Not seen to be important - [the] culture stresses maths and English as the important subjects." "The school would only make it compulsory to study a language to GCSE if the government made it compulsory." "We would like to increase the number of students studying two languages at GCSE. This is difficult with the number of options allowed and the promotion of three individual sciences." Mark Herbert, head of schools programmes at the British Council, said: "The country's current shortage of language skills is estimated to be costing the economy tens of billions in missed trade and business opportunities every year. "Parents, schools and businesses can all play their part in encouraging our young people to study languages at school and to ensure that language learning is given back the respect and prominence that it deserves." Tony McAleavy, director of research and development at the Education Development Trust, said: "The reduction in pupils opting for GCSE and A-level languages is concerning, particularly coupled with teachers' lack of faith in the exam system. "Solutions are required to give languages a firmer place in the curriculum, to make languages more compelling for pupils who find the examination process a barrier and to boost teacher morale." Durbar square, a Unesco World Heritage Site, has been reduced to rubble. The famous Dharahara Tower has been toppled to leave just a stump. Nepal is used to quakes – this is one of the most seismically active regions in the world. You only have to look at the Himalayas to understand that. The mountains are being built as a consequence of the Indian tectonic plate driving under Central Asia (the Eurasian tectonic plate). These two great slabs of the Earth's crust are converging at a relative rate of about 4-5cm (two inches) a year. The upward climb of Everest and its sister mountains is accompanied by numerous tremors. David Rothery, a professor of planetary geosciences, at the Open University, UK, commented: "The Himalayan mountains are being thrust over the Indian plate; there are two or three big thrust faults, basically. And some very gently dipping fault will have been what moved, and gave us this event. Casualties are reported in Kathmandu, but we now wait to see how widespread the problems are." Initial estimates of casualties, even in the biggest quakes, usually start off small, and then grow. In the case of this quake, the fear will be that the final numbers could be quite high. That's not just because the magnitude of the main event was large – at M7.8 (numbers will be revised as more data is assessed) – but that it was also very shallow – a mere 10-15km down. This will have made the shaking felt at the surface extremely severe. And in the four hours that followed the main event, at least 14 aftershocks were recorded, most of them magnitude fours and fives, but including a Magnitude 6.6. Remember, every step down on the scale constitutes a 30-times drop in the energy released in an event, but when buildings are already damaged, the smaller aftershock may be all that's required to bring a structure crashing to the ground. And the assessment is that much of the population in this region live in houses that are highly vulnerable to earthquake shaking: unreinforced brick masonry and the like. One of the big concerns, based on previous experience, will be the possibility of landslides. In places in this mountainous terrain, there could well be villages that are cut off, even destroyed by mud and rock that has come tumbling off steep slopes. It will all add to the confusion as the authorities try to deal with the emergency, and will mean that information will be slow to emerge and sometimes conflicting. Looking right across the Himalaya region, other significant earthquakes include the 1934 M8.1 Bihar event, the 1905 M7.5 Kangra tremor and the 2005 M7.6 Kashmir quake. The latter two events were particularly harsh, resulting in loss of life that topped 100,000. Millions were also left homeless. The work is a step towards a new treatment for patients with degenerative eye diseases. Scientists at University College London Institute of Ophthalmology injected cells from young healthy mice directly into the retinas of adult mice that had night-blindness. The findings are published in Nature. The cells transplanted were immature rod-photoreceptor cells, which are especially important for seeing in the dark. After four to six weeks up to one in six of the transplanted cells had formed the connections needed to transmit visual information to the brain. The researchers tested the vision of the treated mice in a dimly-lit water maze. Those mice with transplanted rod cells were able to see a visual cue to find a hidden platform to enable them to get out of the water. This was in contrast to untreated mice who found the platform only by chance after lengthy exploration of the maze. Prof Robin Ali, at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye Hospital, who led the research said: "We've shown for the first time that transplanted photoreceptor cells can integrate successfully with the existing retinal circuitry and truly improve vision. "We're hopeful that we will soon be able to replicate this success with photoreceptors derived from embryonic stem cells and eventually to develop human trials." Prof Ali said the behavioural maze test was "ultimate proof" that a significant amount of vision had been restored in the treated mice. But although the results appear promising, there are still many steps to go before such a treatment might be suitable for patients. There are two types of photoreceptor in the eye - rods and cones. It has so far proved harder to transplant cone photoreceptors - which are crucial for human sight and tasks like reading. The scientists also plan to experiment with photoreceptors derived from embryonic stem cells. Prof Ali said such cell lines already exist but the question is how efficiently they can transplant them. Loss of photoreceptors is the cause of blindness in many human eye diseases including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa and diabetes-related blindness. But many more animal studies will be needed before such a technique would be tried with humans. The research was funded by the Medical Research Council, the Wellcome Trust, the Royal Society the British Retinitis Pigmentosa Society, Alcon Research Institute and The Miller's Trust. Dr Rob Buckle, head of regenerative medicine at the MRC said: "This is a landmark study that will inform future research across a wide range of fields including vision research, neuroscience and regenerative medicine. "It provides clear evidence of functional recovery in the damage eye through cell transplantation, providing great encouragement for the development of stem cell therapies to address the many debilitating eye conditions that affect millions worldwide." There are already a number of research programmes aiming to treat blindness using cell transplants. Last year, the same research group were given the go-ahead to carry out Europe's first clinical trial involving human embryonic stem cells at Moorfields Eye Hospital. That study involves patients with Stargardt's disease, one of the main causes of blindness in young people. Early results suggest the technique is safe but reliable results will take several years.

The Grade A-listed art nouveau Mackintosh building was badly damaged in the blaze on 23 May. The majority of the paper artworks in the library, including 100 by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, were unharmed. Two of his oil paintings were among 90 works by artists including Newbery and Joan Eardley that were lost. The art school confirmed that the majority of intricate pieces that made up the library's central light fitting had been found. The three-month sifting operation also recovered parts of the original library chairs and periodicals desk. About 8,000 rare books and journals were destroyed when flames engulfed the library. However, the bulk of the rare book collection is housed in another building and was undamaged. All of the salvaged material will now be carefully stored and reviewed by expert conservators as part of a recovery programme over the next three years. An investigation by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service concluded the blaze was caused by flammable gases from a canister of expanding foam. The report, released in November, said the gases ignited as they came into contact with the hot surface of a projector in Studio 19. Glasgow School of Art is continuing with efforts to raise £20m towards the eventual cost of restoring the Mackintosh building and its contents. Eoin Corcoran, aged 14 from Jersey, died on 5 February after receiving injuries while playing at the sand dunes in St Brelade, Jersey. The inquest heard on Wednesday that he was digging a tunnel with a friend when it collapsed on him, burying his upper body. The coroner said it was a "very tragic accidental death of a young man". Deputy Viscount Mark Harris said the cause of death was sand inhalation and asphyxiation caused by the weight of the sand on his body. Eoin's father, Michael Corcoran, said: "He was a beautiful boy, very special." The inquest heard Eoin and his friend, who cannot be named, walked Eoin's dog on the sand dunes after school before deciding to burrow into the sand with their hands. After the tunnel collapsed, Eoin's friend called for help and tried but failed to dig him out. The inquest heard one passing dog walker came within 50 yards (46m) of the two boys and saw Eoin's legs sticking out of the sand, but walked past assuming it was children playing. Paramedics were called by another passer-by who pulled Eoin's body out of the sand and performed CPR on him for nearly half an hour. Eoin was taken to Jersey's General Hospital, where resuscitation attempts continued, but he was pronounced dead shortly after 20:00 BST. Mr Harris said: "Everyone did what they could, and should be commended for doing so." Jersey's Environment Department said it was looking into improving the signs around the sand dunes. Baxter's coaching staff - Ali Hepher, Rob Hunter and Ricky Pellow - have also agreed new contracts. Hepher will step up to the role of head coach, while forwards coach Hunter and skills coach Pellow will continue in their current positions. Exeter beat Wasps at Twickenham in May to win their first Premiership title. Baxter, 46, has been in charge of the Chiefs for eight seasons, first guiding them to promotion from the Championship in 2010 and then stabilising the Devon club in the top flight before leading them to a maiden league title. "We have a great group of coaches, all of whom want to do well and get even better," said Baxter. "We're no different to players when it comes to being ambitious and being success. "We want to have further achievements in the Premiership and we want to do a bit better than we have in Europe. "Having that desire and that ambition is what drives you forward. I would like to think all of the ambitions we have can be met here at Exeter at least over the duration of this next contract." Stepanova is in hiding after helping to expose Russian state-sponsored doping. Wada, which had been alerted that its website had been hacked, found the 800m runner's account had been accessed by someone other than the athlete. "Wada is in contact with the relevant law enforcement authorities," a statement said. Wada's Anti-Doping Administration & Management System (ADAMS) allows athletes to enter information about their whereabouts from anywhere in the world to help the agency co-ordinate testing. "Through regular security monitoring of ADAMS, the agency noted that someone, other than Ms Stepanova, had accessed her account," said the statement. "A subsequent investigation allowed the agency to determine that no other athlete accounts on ADAMS have been accessed." Stepanova and her husband Vitaly, a former Russian anti-doping official, are currently living in a secret location following her evidence to Wada's report into Russian doping. Media playback is not supported on this device The couple, who left Russia after giving evidence, told the BBC last month that they "felt safe" in their new location. "Wada, since the beginning, said they are concerned about our personal safety - they were the ones trying to protect us with the information we have," they said. "In our current location we do feel safe, but unfortunately the reaction to our actions in our home country is not positive, a lot of people in general and athletes as well hate us for what we did and we would not go back to Russia right now. There we would feel unsafe." Russia's athletics team was banned from the Rio Olympics but Stepanova, who served a two-year ban for blood passport abnormalities in 2013, had hoped to be invited to the Games by the International Olympic Committee to compete under a neutral flag. However, she chose not to contest her ban by the IOC. The Cherries flew out to the UAE following Sunday's 3-0 defeat at Tottenham and return on Friday. "We want to recover, rest up and go again in training over the next couple of weeks and continue to work hard," Francis told BBC Radio Solent. Bournemouth's next league game is home against Manchester City on 2 April. Eddie Howe's squad made a similar trip to Dubai last season during the international period and their run to the Championship title. "People might look at it as a breather, relaxing and not doing anything," Francis added. "But, we benefited from it hugely last season at the same stage. It got us promoted basically. "It's a bit of team bonding and everyone getting together for a week. Training in the warm weather means you get more out of it and you come back fitter." Roger Cooper, 41, allegedly decided to take Sameena Imam "out of his life" after she issued him with an ultimatum to leave his long-term partner. It is alleged Mr Cooper, of Coventry, believed he would be sacked if Ms Imam, from Cardiff, exposed their affair. He is standing trial at Birmingham Crown Court with David Cooper, 38, of Leicester. Both men deny murder. Jurors were told Roger Cooper, manager of Costco's Coventry warehouse, may claim to have travelled to Leicester to pick up a Star Wars figure as a present from his brother. Opening the case against the two men, prosecutor Timothy Spencer QC said: "He did pick (the Star Wars figure) up but we say the reality of that journey is that it had a much more sinister motive. "It was really about what was going to happen to Sameena Imam." CCTV footage played to the jury showed Ms Imam, the store's marketing chief, and Roger Cooper leaving Costco's Coventry branch within minutes of each other at about 16:00 GMT on 24 December last year. The Crown claims Ms Imam then left her BMW in the local area and was driven to Leicester before being killed within hours. Mr Spencer said of the defendants: "They thought they had got away with the killing, they thought they had covered their tracks and traces. They were wrong." At the time of Ms Imam's death, the court heard, Roger Cooper was also having relationships with two other women, his live-in partner Susan Potts and Costco colleague Sinead Sweeney. Ms Imam, who lived in south Wales and worked at Costco outlets in Coventry, Southampton, Bristol and Cardiff, was reported missing after failing to attend a family gathering in Essex on Boxing Day. During his opening address at the start of a two-month trial, Mr Spencer added: "From Boxing Day onwards a missing person inquiry was triggered." Audi said the upgrade would "improve emissions behaviour in real driving conditions further beyond existing legal requirements". The carmaker added it was convinced the programme would counteract possible bans on diesel cars. In recent days, rival German carmakers Mercedes and Daimler issued recalls involving three million vehicles. The Audi recall affects cars fitted with six- and eight-cylinder diesel motors meeting the Euro 5 and Euro 6 emissions criteria, including some models made by parent company Volkswagen and sister firm Porsche. The upgrade is available for Audi cars with affected engines in Europe and other markets outside North America. The Reuters news agency reported that German car industry officials and politicians had agreed to improve diesel vehicles' emissions through software updates in order to avoid diesel bans in cities. Arndt Ellinghorst, an analyst at investment bank Evercore ISI, said there could be many more of these fixes to come: "What Audi and Mercedes have announced is just the tip of the iceberg. All other carmakers will follow and offer improvements to the engine management software. "If this isn't an industry-wide action, city driving bans might be the painful alternative." A bomb was detonated on board a train pulling out of Maelbeek station, close to the European institutions, in the morning rush hour on 22 March. The attack followed suicide bombs at Brussels airport which also killed 16. People can write their tributes to the victims on a commemorative wall inside Maelbeek station. The metro system is now fully open. The Brussels public transport authority (Stib) said that military and police officers would be present to "ensure the security of the entire network". The metro would be running to the same timetable as before the attacks; however, the number of entry points is limited to one or two per station, Stib said. Since the attacks, the metro system had been running from 06:00 to 22:00 but on Monday resumed its normal hours of 04:30 to 00:30. Survivors and relatives of the victims were able to visit the station on Saturday, before it re-opened. The explosion on 22 March did not damage the structure of the metro station, according to Stib; the work carried out included re-tiling and painting. A commemorative art work will eventually replace the tribute wall. A new amendment to the Immigration Bill from Labour's Lord Dubs was backed by 279 votes to 172. It would force ministers to arrange the relocation of children who have made it to Europe into the UK, with the total number to be decided by the government. The government has warned against encouraging people to place children in the hands of traffickers. It announced last week it would take in as many as 3,000 refugees, mostly vulnerable children, from the war-torn Syria region by 2020. But campaigners, including charity Save the Children, are calling for unaccompanied children who have already made it into Europe to be allowed into the UK. On Monday night, MPs rejected Lord Dubs' attempt to force the government to admit 3,000 children from Europe. His revised amendment - which was backed by the Lords - did not include the 3,000 target, instead requiring the government to consult with local authorities to come up with a total. Labour peer Lord Dubs arrived in the UK in 1939 as a six-year-old refugee fleeing the persecution of Jews in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. He was one of 669 children who escaped the Holocaust on trains from Prague organised by British stockbroker Sir Nicholas Winton. After a 48-hour journey, the young Alf Dubs was met by his father, who had fled to England the day the Nazis entered Czechoslovakia, at Liverpool Street station in London. Profile: Lord Dubs In the Lords debate, Home Office minister Earl Howe said the issue of child refugees was "highly emotive" and that the UK had a "moral duty to help those in need". He said the government was "already fulfilling that duty", adding that "physically transporting unaccompanied children from one part of the EU to another is not the best or most effective way to fulfil our duty". Lord Dubs said he welcomed government support for refugees, but added: "When all is said and done, the government will still leave thousands of children in Europe. "Children who are vulnerable, children who are in an unhappy situation, children who are in danger possibly even to their lives and certainly to their wellbeing." He said he was "astonished" at the support for his amendment. Speaking before the vote, the prime minister's spokeswoman said the government wanted to protect vulnerable people but not "fuel a system that is incentivising people to be exploited by trafficking gangs and make perilous journeys". The government suffered further defeats on the Immigration Bill over the detention of pregnant women in immigration custody and holding people in detention for more than 28 days. It will now decide whether to try to overturn the latest defeats when the bill returns to the Commons. The Isle of Wight Council tried to fine Jon Platt £120 for taking his daughter on a once-in-a-lifetime family holiday to Florida during term time. But magistrates backed the father, so the council appealed to the High Court, which again ruled in Mr Platt's favour. The Supreme Court has said it will allow a final challenge by the council. On Wednesday, a panel of three justices who reviewed the case decided a hearing should go ahead. It is expected to take place on January 31. Isle of Wight Council, as the local education authority, took the case to London's High Court but senior judges backed the magistrates' ruling in favour of the father. He had argued he should not be fined over the absence because his daughter's attendance was considered good. The council submitted papers to the Supreme Court for permission to launch a final legal challenge. It made the application at the request of Schools Minister Nick Gibb. The council argued the case raised important issues for schools and families up and down the country. The Department for Education said it would work with the Isle of Wight to consider the next steps. "Our position remains that children should not be taken out of school without good reason. "That is why we have tightened the rules and are supporting schools and local authorities to use their powers to tackle unauthorised absence. "The evidence shows that every extra day of school missed can affect a pupil's chances of achieving good GCSEs, which has a lasting effect on their life chances - vindicating our strong stance on attendance." But parents face much higher flight and accommodation prices during the school holidays, and some choose to miss a few days to take advantage of this. Mr Platt said in response: "I am disappointed that the appeal has been allowed. "Their position is so shocking I hoped the court would say it was not arguable, let alone winnable. "The decision creates uncertainty and distress for parents, who will be worried sick for the next few weeks that they may have committed a criminal offence by taking their children out of school. "But I am delighted we won't have to wait long for the hearing. Usually it would take six months for a full hearing, so it has been expedited." The Bluebirds were 2-0 up at the break through Aron Gunnarsson's unmarked header from Peter Whittingham's corner and Joe Ralls' close-range finish. The hosts' hopes of a comeback were thwarted by Thomas Lam's sending-off for pulling back Anthony Pilkington. Henri Lansbury's late penalty, after the Forest skipper was bundled over by Gunnarsson, set up a nervy finale. Cardiff have picked up seven points from a possible nine under new boss Neil Warnock and are now 20th in the table, behind Forest on goal difference. Forest's display was characterised by defensive errors, with a string of saves from goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic and Cardiff's profligacy helping to keep the score down. Left-back Armand Traore gave away possession for the second goal and Lam was dismissed - receiving Forest's fourth red card of the season - after he gifted the ball to Pilkington. Forest have had to contend with off-field distractions recently, including an impending takeover of the club and late payments and unpaid bonuses for players. Philippe Montanier's side lacked creativity and their only chances came from long-range efforts until Lansbury's spot-kick gave them hope of an equaliser in stoppage time. Nottingham Forest head coach Philippe Montanier: "It was a poor, poor result. It's always the same story. We had a repeat of individual mistakes. "At 1-0 you can come back, but then we had another mistake. It's never the same player making the individual mistake. At 2-0, it is difficult to come back. "We never gave up, even when we went down to 10 men, and we scored at the end, but we keep making individual mistakes." Cardiff manager Neil Warnock: "Nottingham Forest are a good side with some very good players. I was hoping for a clean sheet, but once again we've let ourselves down at the death. "It was a game we should have won comfortably. "I've been asked about promotion. But I just said: 'Let's get out the bottom three first'. We just get carried away, don't we? "We're nowhere near the finished article, but we've got a good bunch of players and the fans get behind us." Match ends, Nottingham Forest 1, Cardiff City 2.

Their ninth album is "utterly entrancing", "mesmerising" and "an incisive portrayal of emotional vulnerability", the critics said. Fans, too, lavished praise on the album, noting a return to melodicism after the fractured and fatigued King Of Limbs five years ago. Many of the songs are elevated by guitarist Jonny Greenwood's orchestral arrangements and the presence of the 13-person choir from the London Contemporary Orchestra. The band haven't spoken about the record since it was released, but Greenwood dropped into BBC 6 Music to chat to Matt Everitt earlier this week. Their conversation covered the "traumatic" recording sessions, Radiohead's career-spanning live shows, and their rejected theme song for the Bond film, Spectre. The setlists for your recent live shows have changed radically every night. How many songs did you rehearse? We started with 120. It's crazy. I mean, it's just every song we've done. And then we gave up and realised that was stupid and got it down to about 60 or 70, and we played 24 songs a night. So there's a lot to choose from. What was the thinking behind that? Variety. Keeping it fresh and interesting. It drives our crew crazy, as you might imagine, because they don't know what to do with the lights. But that's okay. We've always been like that. We've always decided the setlist just before we play. The image that's grown around Radiohead's studio work is that it's very tortured, very emotionally draining... a very difficult experience for everybody concerned. Is that is that true? It's by turns really exciting - and there's usually Thom [Yorke] in the middle of it getting very excited and motivating everyone and getting worked up about how well it's going - and then there's periods when nothing's happening and it's just not working and it's frustrating. But it's like that for everyone with work. When it's going well it's such an exciting and "up" and happy time that gets you through anything, really. It's only torturous looking back. Such as? We recorded No Surprises [from 1997's OK Computer album] and then worried about it. And then we recorded it again because it didn't sound very good. And then we recorded it again. And then went back to the very first recording and released it. So it's tortuous in that way. It's not like you're sitting looking for a kick drum sound for two weeks, it's more effort than that. More hitting brick walls over and over again. That's just how it goes. What are your memories of headlining Glastonbury in 1997 - a gig that is now regarded by many as one of the greatest Glastonbury performances ever. I just remember it being very stressful and the monitors breaking and Thom walking off because he couldn't hear anything and it just being a disaster! It was pretty bad. It was like, "We can't hear ourselves, and we don't know what's coming across," and then I remember asking Andy Watson, our lighting guy, to illuminate the audience so we could finally see them. I remember that. You can't hear what you're playing and you hope everyone is hearing each other and that something is coming across, but it was a struggle. You released your track Spectre on Christmas Day - explaining it had been intended as the theme as a James Bond theme, until Sam Smith's track was chosen instead. What happened? It wasn't right for the film, what we did. So we thought, "Great! Then it's ours. We can finish it how it's meant to be and we can release it." So that side of it was really positive, you know? But I guess there's lots of people interested in who does it [the Bond theme]. There's a lot riding on it and the song we did was just too dark or whatever, so that's fine. [It] means we get to have it back and it's ours and we got to put it out. We're really, really proud of it. Why be attached to an old fashioned idea of what a James Bond thing was and it being a big deal? It's like it's sort of stupid to get worked up about, really. A Moon Shaped Pool features a lot of arrangements by the London Contemporary Orchestra, who you're a great champion of. Well there's songs like Burn The Witch which, very rarely for us, we managed to get strings on near the beginning. We left it unfinished on purpose and left lots of room for the strings and we never do that usually. Usually the strings are the icing on top. At the end of Daydreaming I got the cellos to all tune their bottom strings down about a fifth [of an octave] but then still try to play the music. So you can hear them struggling to stay in tune and you have the low growl sound. You want to use strings in a way that isn't just pastiche and that can be hard to avoid. That was fun, trying to square that circle. I was lucky enough to see a couple of the recent shows and it looked like you were really enjoying being on stage. Yeah, it was really enjoyable. I think we're appreciating being in a band with each other in the moment and enjoying the sound that we put across. So it's a very happy time, yes. What can I say? There's nothing to complain about really! The First Time with Jonny Greenwood will be broadcast at 13:00 BST on Sunday, June 19 on BBC 6 Music. Four miners were killed when a methane leak triggered two explosions in the mine near Vorkuta on Thursday. Rescuers were trying to rescue 26 trapped miners when a new blast occurred, killing five rescue workers and a miner. The rescue operation has been halted and those missing are presumed dead. The incident is one of the worst Russian mining disasters in recent times. "The circumstances in the affected part of the mine did not allow anyone to survive," Russia's Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov said. "In the underground space where the 26 miners were, there are high temperatures and no oxygen", he added. All the rescuers who were killed or injured in the operation would be given state awards, the TASS news agency reported. Rogers, 25, who was released by Leeds in January after a loan spell at Stevenage, is only the third footballer to publicly declare his homosexuality. "I always thought I could hide this secret. Football was my escape, my purpose, my identity," said Rogers. "Now is my time to step away. It's time to discover myself away from football." The Football Association said it would fully back Rogers, regardless of whether he continues his career. We do have players who've said that, while they are gay, they don't feel comfortable enough to come out The California-born player, who won 18 caps for his country, made the announcement in a message posted on his personal website on Friday. "For the past 25 years I have been afraid, afraid to show who I really was because of fear," said Rogers. "Secrets can cause so much internal damage. People love to preach about honesty, how honesty is so plain and simple. Try explaining to your loved ones after 25 years you are gay. "Football hid my secret, gave me more joy than I could have ever imagined… I will always be thankful for my career. "[Now] my secret is gone, I am a free man, I can move on and live my life as my creator intended." Only two other footballers have publicly said they are gay, despite a number of high-profile male and female homosexual athletes from other sports openly discussing their sexuality in recent years. In 1990, former England Under-21 international Justin Fashanu was the first professional footballer in Britain to reveal he was gay. He took his own life eight years later, aged 37. Swedish lower league player Anton Hysen, son of former Liverpool player Glenn Hysen, publicly announced his homosexuality in an interview with a Swedish football magazine in 2011. Darren Bailey, the FA's director of football governance and regulation, added: "Following the announcement by Robbie Rogers on Friday, the FA is trying to make contact with him offering our support. "Whether Robbie stays in the game or steps away for a break he has our full backing." The FA last year launched a six-point action plan to make the game more inclusive, as well as tackling homophobia and transphobia. "We do have players who've said that, while they are gay, they don't feel comfortable enough to come out," said chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association Gordon Taylor. "It's not dissimilar to many black players, and we need to create a safe environment for them on and off the field. "We know of players who are playing who are gay who've not had that confidence as yet. But, as the rest of the world becomes more civilised, hopefully that will come." The six-member executive committee of the German carmaker's supervisory board praised Mr Winterkorn's "vigour and success" and proposed extending his contract. The move is seen as a defeat for VW chairman Ferdinand Piech. He had "distanced himself" from Mr Winterkorn in a recent interview. Those comments prompted speculation about Mr Winterkorn's future at the company. However, Mr Piech, who is a member of the executive committee, was outnumbered by five to one, according to company sources quoted by Reuters. Mr Winterkorn is "the best possible'' chief executive of Volkswagen, according to a statement issued by the committee and had its "full support". When Mr Piech made the comments, VW board member Wolfgang Porsche said Mr Piech had given his "personal opinion". Mr Piech - who is a former chief executive of the car maker - did not specify the nature of his issue with Mr Winterkorn. Analysts said that concerns about the profitability of the main Volkswagen brand and a disappointing market share in the United States were possible factors. Volkswagen sold just over 1.6m vehicles in Europe last year, an increase of 3.9% and far in excess of Ford's total of almost 962,000. Mr Piech is the grandson of Beetle inventor Ferdinand Porsche. Together, the Piech and Porsche families control 51% of VW. Shares in Volkswagen closed down 1.8% at €228.60 in Frankfurt, valuing the company at more than €111bn (£80bn). Media playback is not supported on this device Inter scored with their first shot on target when skipper Mauro Icardi pounced to smash in a loose ball. Dusan Tadic missed a controversial penalty in first-half injury-time, but Virgil van Dijk hooked in to level as Saints improved after the break. And they claimed all three points after Yuto Nagatomo's own-goal howler. The Inter defender, under little pressure, allowed Tadic's left-wing cross to bounce off his thigh and loop over his keeper Samir Handanovic. Victory keeps Saints second in Group K with seven points from their four matches, meaning they could clinch a last-32 place if they win at leaders Sparta Prague in their next game on 24 November. Southampton's rapid rise over the past seven seasons might be still fresh in the memory of most football observers, but hosting one of the world's biggest clubs in a competitive European fixture offered a reminder to those who had forgotten. The fortunes of the two clubs back in the 2009-10 season could not have been more stark. Inter were being managed by Jose Mourinho, had a star-studded squad led by Javier Zanetti and Samuel Eto'o, and went on to win an unprecedented Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia treble. Southampton won the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. And, after entering administration the previous year, they went on to finish seventh in League One. No wonder a fervent home crowd of over 30,000 greeted this victory with the sort of elation usually reserved for a trophy-lifting celebration. The Nerazzurri are far from the force of old, lacking the star names of years gone by and unable to replicate their success as a consequence. And the 12th-placed Serie A side arrived in England having sacked manager Frank de Boer on Tuesday, replacing him on a temporary basis with youth-team coach Stefan Vecchi. Nevertheless beating a club of such magnitude - 18-time Italian champions and three-time European champions - represents arguably Southampton's greatest night in continental competition. Two weeks ago, Inter snatched an undeserved 1-0 win in the reverse fixture at the San Siro thanks to Antonio Candreva's second-half goal. After 45 minutes it looked as though Southampton might be left frustrated again. After 90 minutes it was a victory that never looked in doubt. Inter skipper Icardi put the visitors ahead with their first shot on target and many Saints fans probably feared the worst as their team trailed at the break following a chaotic end to the first half. Polish referee Pawel Gil failed to send off Candreva for violent conduct after striking Saints defender Sam McQueen in the face, shortly after Saints were awarded a fortunate penalty for an accidental handball by Ivan Perisic. Tadic faced a long wait as the situation was diffused, then saw his tame spot-kick blocked by Inter's penalty-saving expert Samir Handanovic. But any perceived injustice that Southampton had from not having an numerical advantage was channelled positively after the break. Southampton manager Claude Puel: "I am happy for all the fans and players. They saw a very good game with a good result. It is a fantastic scenario. "It was difficult at the beginning. We dominated all the game but we lost a goal and missed a penalty. But we did very good work. "We knew how important it was to win tonight. It is a good result but we are not finished yet. We want to qualify. The work is not finished. On whether Candreva should have been sent off: "Yes I think he should have been. Also there was a foul for their goal. "It was important to continue the way we were playing and comeback in the second half. We played a good game. This is really important for my players to know they have such character in difficult situations." Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk: "The most important thing was that it was well deserved. We played good football, we were the dominating side, like before in Milan and today we rewarded ourselves with a win." Inter Milan caretaker coach Stefano Vecchi: "Southampton played with a lot of intensity. We faded in the second-half in terms of how we managed the ball, but the players gave everything. "Southampton scored a couple of fortuitous goals and we lost the game. We need the rub of the green, which we are not getting. "Some of our physical limitations came out in the second-half. When we started to tire, we needed to take the sting out of it. We dropped deeper and that can be lethal." Ninth-placed Southampton return to Premier League action when they travel to Hull City on Sunday (14:15 GMT). Inter, along with continuing the search for a new manager, must focus on improving their Serie A position, starting with Sunday's home game against bottom-side Crotone.

David Gill has formally indicated he will apply for fresh permission to run South Lakes Safari Zoo in Dalton in Furness, Cumbria, where a keeper was killed by a tiger in 2013. His current licence expires in January. In July, inspectors recommended the zoo's licence should not be reissued until new management was in place. They said Mr Gill, 55, had refused to "implement modern zoo practices" resulting in significant concerns over the safety of staff, the visiting public and the animals. At the time the zoo's chief executive officer, Karen Brewer, said great strides had been made to improve the zoo. The law allows the licence holder six months to start again with an entirely fresh application, but notice of the intention must be given at least two months before the end of this time. Mr Gill has now submitted a 200-page document on the deadline for doing so. The inspectors had previously said Mr Gill should have no role in managing and running the zoo he created more than 20 years ago. He has been working with two consultants on proposals for the zoo's management in the future. The zoo was fined £297,500 for health and safety breaches when keeper Sarah McClay, 24, was mauled to death by a tiger. Mr Gill 55, had faced individual charges on the same allegations, but was formally acquitted. The zoo's collection has grown from 290 animals to more than 1,000 across 50 acres, attracting more than 250,000 visitors and generating £3m a year. Barrow councillors will make a decision on any new application after a further inspection of the zoo. Jonny Bairstow, Roy's likely replacement on Wednesday, went in to the nets first and Roy, who did not bat until after the rest of the team, was dispatched to throw balls back from the long-on boundary. It was a brutal fall from grace. Before this tournament began, skipper Morgan said he could not see a scenario where Roy would be left out. It was a bold statement. It is quite right that every player is supported, but there also has to be fairness and integrity in selection. Roy has made only 68 runs in his past nine one-day international innings and, even though we can sometimes be a little soft over dropping players, it is time for a change. Roy, the Surrey right-hander, is a good player. He will be back in England's plans, probably in the Twenty20 series against South Africa later this summer. However, he was making bad choices and not giving himself the chance to score runs. Against Bangladesh he played a pre-meditated sweep and was caught at short fine leg. Against New Zealand he moved too far across his stumps and was bowled. So, even though England are entering the semi-final of a major tournament, it seems right that a change is made. Even though Bairstow has not batted in a match since the third ODI against South Africa, he is not the sort of character who will be fazed. He is not a natural opener but has been batting at the top of the order for Yorkshire and made 174 against Durham in the One-Day Cup in May. Still, he faces a tough task. To possibly opening the batting against a talented Pakistan pace attack with a white ball at 10:30 in the morning is not easy. Bairstow will have to give himself a chance to get in. If he does that, he scores so freely that there will be plenty of opportunities to catch up later on. Media playback is not supported on this device If the questions over Roy and the top of the England order remain, then Morgan's bowlers have certainly answered any doubts there may have been before this tournament. Liam Plunkett is the tournament's second-highest wicket-taker, a fully fit Mark Wood is running in hard in the middle overs and leg-spinner Adil Rashid, surprisingly overlooked for the opening game, has been terrific. Rashid is showing the value of the investment that England have made in him since the 2015 World Cup. He bowls an excellent googly, one that even the best batsmen have trouble reading. Morgan has plenty of options and the skipper is having an excellent tournament, not only tactically but with the bat. He said beforehand that it is a weight off a captain's mind if he isn't worrying about his form because that is one kind of pressure that isn't allowed to build, either in the dressing room or in the media. Without that problem, Morgan is scoring runs and guiding his troops through the tournament. When he leads, he appears incredibly calm, even if he isn't inside. And so England turn to Pakistan, who will be full of confidence after winning a tight game against Sri Lanka on Monday to qualify for the semis. That game was full of mistakes - poor shots and fielding errors. That is what can happen when the pressure is on and the match actually means something. Pakistan are a team that have flair and a knack of lifting themselves in big tournaments. However, I've seen nothing to suggest that England will lose, other than this is one-day cricket and the wheel of fortune can turn. Having said that, if England end up batting first and put on a big total, the heat really will be on for Pakistan. Media playback is not supported on this device England are aiming to win their first global 50-over tournament and now find themselves two games away. One chance they did have for the elusive major honour was the 1992 World Cup final, when they were beaten by Pakistan. I was commentating that night in Melbourne and saw Wasim Akram produce an amazing spell of swing bowling. Earlier in the game, Javed Miandad could have been lbw to Derek Pringle, a decision that went Pakistan's way and was quite crucial to the outcome of the match. Pringle drones on about it and, after seeing it many times, I have to concede that he's probably right. England have not played Pakistan in a knockout match since then. A quarter of a century on, it might be time to put it right. BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew was talking to BBC Sport's Stephan Shemilt. The surviving groups all met an end-of-2016 deadline to obtain launch contracts - and these have now been verified by the organisers of the Google Lunar X-Prize. To stand a chance of winning the $20m top purse, however, the teams will need to leave Earth by 31 December. The winner will be the first to roam at least 500m, and stream hi-res imagery. The remaining teams are: In confirming the five teams still in with a crack at the grand prize, the X-Prize organisers also announced on Tuesday that a $1m Diversity Prize would be split among all 16 groups that had been competing up to this point. The hope is that teams dropping out will continue with their work to develop low-cost solutions to space exploration. The Google Lunar X-Prize was initiated in 2007 and had to have its timeline extended when competitors struggled to raise investor funds in the aftermath of the financial crash. But Chanda Gonzales-Mowrer, the senior director at the Google Lunar X-Prize, said she was now confident the race to the Moon was entering its exciting end-stage. "In entering the final stretch, we wanted to see and prove that these teams were on manifested launches. That’s important because it shows they must have money in place because they’re now having to make payments to those launch providers," she told BBC News. "That gives us a lot of confidence. And we're now working with the teams on developing their mission profiles and in setting up the process to judge them." To give the teams a bit more scope, the organisers have adjusted the current competition guidelines requiring that the mission be “completed” by 31 December, 2017, to be merely "initiated" by that deadline instead. In other words, they must have left the launch pad by the end of the year. The X-Prize Foundation administers a number of competitions aimed at incentivising technological breakthroughs in a range of fields, including climate, healthcare, education and exploration. In 2005, a privately funded rocket plane, SpaceShipOne, won the Ansari-funded X-Prize by completing two flights above the Earth's atmosphere inside a week. The vehicle's technology now forms the basis of a spaceliner being developed by entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson and his Virgin Group. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos Universal Engineering opened a new factory last year in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taf which has 81 workers. It followed £600,000 of a planned £2m investment from the Welsh government with hopes of expansion and another 200 jobs. The company also has a plant in Weymouth, Dorset, with 43 workers. It blamed declining investment in the oil and gas industry. It is understood workers were told to go home and return next Tuesday, to hear of developments. The company said at the moment staff are only at risk of redundancy and a decision would be taken once the administrator was appointed. It insisted the £600,000 paid in grant funding by the Welsh government was not at risk. The Welsh government called it "very disappointing news". "We will work closely with the company to try to find a buyer for the site and offer support to the employees to find new work," a spokesman added. Chairman James Gaggero met with staff in Weymouth to tell them the bad news and said the company would work with the administrators to try to find a solution. "It's awful to have to accept that circumstances have conspired to make this business vulnerable to this situation," he said. The company was set up in 1959 and taken over in 2009. Henry Game, the chief executive of parent company Bland Group UK, added: "We deeply regret having to take this decision. We appreciate that this will be a very difficult time for all employees and we will try to provide as much information and support as we can during this process." It had been looking to expand into the defence and aerospace sectors and take on 200 workers. The new plant in Llantrisant was only officially opened four months ago with Economy Minister Edwina Hart saying it was "exactly the type of advanced manufacturing investment we want to attract". Universal said it had received a £600,000 first stage of Welsh government money in March 2015 on condition of a specified number of staff being hired and was at "pains to stress" the money was safe. "This is the only grant that Universal Engineering has been received and it is not at risk," said a spokesman. "The directors acknowledge the extensive support from the Welsh government at all levels and thank them for all they have done to support the establishment of the site in Llantrisant." The Welsh government added: "We are in discussions with the company about recovering the finance we provided them to create jobs."

Cheshire East Council is to cancel passes for 171 pupils in Bollington, Cheshire, in a move the authority said would "help tackle obesity". The council said the route had been approved by road safety officers. However, Emmanuel Botwe, head teacher at nearby Tytherington School, said the route was "simply not safe". "The council have taken a decision without consultation to withdraw the free service," he said. "We feel that would be putting youngsters at risk." Councils are required by law to offer transport to children who do not have a route which can be walked in "reasonable safety". The Middlewood Way route follows the line of the former Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple railway. George Hayes, deputy cabinet member for children and families, told a meeting the route had been declared safe, but added national rules dictate "personal safety issues of children travelling alone are not to be considered" when assessing walking routes. He said government guidance meant councils "must look at the relationship between pedestrians and traffic only". The changes will help the Conservative-controlled authority £495,000 over three years, according to a report. Parent Sarah Stoddart said: "The Middlewood Way is mostly unlit. You're putting an advert out for every weirdo, every unpleasant person, that you've got young children walking home on their own at dusk." Janey Parish added: "There are very few people using it, so a child under threat can't alert somebody to their danger, and they will also struggle to escape." Across the wider borough, 505 pupils will have their free school transport entitlement withdrawn in April after available walking routes were "reviewed". A council spokesman said: "This decision is about fairly applying an existing policy, now that these walking routes have been made available for safe use. "There are also clear health benefits from getting more of our young people to take regular daily exercise by walking." He added: "Parents can request a further review of the routes as part of the process moving forward." Bollington councillor Amanda Stott said the council should have listened to parents before making its decision. "They should have genuinely listened to their concerns," she said. Amjad Rihan led an Ernst & Young team that audited Kaloti and found it was failing to carry out the proper checks. But after he told the Dubai regulator, it changed its audit procedures. He said that allowed details of the most serious findings to be covered up, with Ernst & Young turning a blind eye. The regulator, Ernst & Young and Kaloti all say they acted properly. Mr Rihan told BBC Newsnight: "The risk of conflict gold entering Dubai and entering the global supply chain is extremely high." The audit team, which visited Kaloti last year, alerted the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) and also urged superiors at Ernst & Young to notify other regulators and the gold-buying public. In May the DMCC's guidance required the audit team's initial findings to be made public but by November that requirement had disappeared. Angry with the regulator and his firm, Mr Rihan decided to resign and blow the whistle, taking his story to the campaigning group Global Witness, which passed key documents to Newsnight. His disclosures have also been reported by the Guardian and Al-Jazeera. "I wouldn't be able to live with a decision like that. I wouldn't be able to come back home at the end of the day and look at my children in the eyes and tell them I'm proud of myself. I will never feel at peace with myself," he said. The audit found Kaloti had breached a number of international rules for the responsible sourcing of gold, including: Conflict-free gold is described as gold that has not caused, supported or benefited unlawful armed conflict during its production. Dubai is an important global gold hub, with more than one-fifth of the world's trade in physical gold taking place there. As well as being used for jewellery or gold bars, about 300 tonnes of gold a year is used for components in electronic devices, such as computer leads and smartphones. Dubai has been named in reports by Global Witness and the United Nations as a big destination for conflict gold. So the DMCC has adopted the international standards designed to show its gold traders and refiners are sourcing gold responsibly. • Conflict minerals are minerals mined in conditions of armed conflict and human rights abuses • Armed groups earn hundreds of millions of dollars every year by trading conflict minerals. These minerals can be found in all our electronic devices, from mobile phones to gaming systems • A law passed in 2010 gave companies a May 2014 deadline for reporting the source of its raw materials • In January computing company Intel announced that it would no longer use conflict minerals in its microprocessors • US technology giant Apple began publicising which of its suppliers may be sourcing minerals from conflict zones in February • Apple's first published list detailed 104 suppliers that were unverified for compliance with ethical guidelines Ernst & Young's team in Dubai was engaged to carry out an audit of Kaloti against two standards - one set by DMCC and one set by the London Bullion Markets Association (LBMA), the standard gold sellers have to meet to sell on the London market. "Refiners - those who melt the gold down into bars or other forms - are the choke point in the supply chain," Annie Dunnebacke, from Global Witness, said. "They must carry out checks all the way... back to the mine to find out what the conditions of extraction were, whether the gold has funded conflict, and what's happened along the way." Mr Rihan said his audit team made "severe and disturbing findings" at Kaloti but he discovered the DMCC was far from keen on publicly shaming Kaloti. Mr Rihan said: "We told them about the severity of our findings as well as our final conclusion which would state that the risk of conflict minerals entering Dubai is extremely high. "The Dubai-based regulator was not happy about that, and when they realised that we will not alter our findings, they went ahead and they changed their own guidelines in such a way that our findings and our final conclusions are not made public." The DMCC denies changing its rules in order to keep the detail of the damaging findings out of public view. It says the rule changes were based on a consultant's advice, to bring itself into line with international standards like those required to sell on the London bullion market. Concerned that his firm was letting a cover-up take place, Mr Rihan wrote to Ernst & Young's head of Europe, Middle East and Africa, Mark Otty, urging him to notify the UK regulator of the findings. He copied it to the firm's global chairman and chief executive, Mark Weinberger. Ernst & Young took the view that it did not need to notify the UK-based regulator. Ernst & Young said the firm was not bound by the UK regulator's rules to notify the LBMA of its findings and claimed it would be a breach of confidentiality to do so. Newsnight has seen confidential documents that show the audit team's findings were initially accepted by the refiner, Kaloti, which privately acknowledged the most serious category of rule breach. But in November, after what Mr Rihan described as a move of the "auditing goalposts", Kaloti was able to declare itself "fully compliant". And Ernst & Young publicly endorsed that as a "fair view". US Geological Survey: Gold Annie Dunnebacke, from Global Witness says: "Ernst & Young's actions are not illegal but they raise questions about the firm's ethical commitments." In a statement, DMCC said it "utterly rejects any suggestion that it has acted in any way improperly in the application of responsible sourcing guidelines for gold and the review process for member refineries". It added: "We have never concealed instances of non-compliance or protocol breaches, nor sought to influence [Ernst & Young] or any independent reviewer in carrying out their duties in the review process. "We have also never altered, amended or diluted our responsible sourcing guidelines or review protocol to favour any member refinery or otherwise interfered with the review process." Kaloti said any allegations relating to its non-compliance in the gold trade business were "without merit". It said it was proud to have led the "transparency drive" in Dubai's physical gold market. "Kaloti has followed and adhered at all stages to the requirements of the audit and the DMCC review protocol and remains fully compliant," it added. Ernst & Young Dubai said it "refutes entirely the suggestion that we did anything but highly professional work in relation to our compliance engagement with Kaloti." It added: "The instances of non-compliance we found were fully reported by EY Dubai to the client and separately to the regulator. "EY Dubai took the views of our former partner very seriously... consulting with internal and external experts, who supported the actions we took. "We firmly believe... we have played an important role in achieving improvements in the client's supply chain controls."

Debenhams it was an "unfortunate accident" during routine cleaning. Councillor Paul Godier said he was trying to find Mr Allen accommodation. Mr Allen posted a message on Facebook claiming his clothes, bedding and dog food had been "flooded" from inside the Debenhams store. A statement from the retailer said: "We have established that this was an unfortunate accident in which the routine cleaning of the fire exit from the inside of the store resulted in some of the gentleman's property on the other side of the fire exit becoming wet. "Debenhams has now supplied the gentleman with new bedding and clothing, and a member of our team has met him to offer our sincere apologies for any distress caused." Charles Dickens ward councillor Mr Godier said Mr Allen's situation "needs addressing" but criticised what he said had been threats made against Debenhams and himself on social media. "Portsmouth is a passionate city - when people see vulnerable people becoming victims, they will be impassioned. But in many cases some of this passion has been misdirected," Mr Godier said. "This is an opportunity to bring the businesses sector a greater understanding of the homeless." He said as Mr Allen had no local connections and was not classified as vulnerable, he did not qualify for council help but an individual had offered a private room. "The only dilemma was finding temporary accommodation for his dog which would need to be arranged." "Homelessness has risen drastically across the country. It's not an easy fix. As part of the [Portsmouth City Council] homelessness working group next year we'll be delving deeper into the causes of homelessness and assessing vulnerability in much greater detail," he added. Mr Allen said he believed "something good and some awareness" would come out of the situation. David Newton-Badman was accused of 23 incidents, 22 against one girl and one on a second former pupil, while a teacher at Phoenix Academy, Telford. He admitted holding one girl's hand and asking the other if she wanted to "experience" an older man. The 38-year-old was found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct. More updates on this and others in Shropshire A disciplinary panel heard "Pupil A" had been taught by Mr Newton-Badman and although she had left the school at the time of the trip, she was still under the age of 18. She claimed that during the trip he sent her a message via social media suggesting a naked massage and "popped his head up" between her ankles while the group were swimming and made inappropriate remarks. He admitted massaging her feet while on the trip but denied all other allegations. During New Year's Eve in 2014, he messaged the former pupil "continuously" stating in one message: "hotel room, get drunk, sleep with me?" She responded by saying "he was being silly". The panel also heard he admitted messaging inappropriate comments to "Pupil B", another former student, in June 2015. Mr Newton-Badman said in a statement that he accepted the incidents he admitted were unprofessional and could be construed as sexually motivated, but he was "adamant" it was never his intention to cultivate a sexual relationship with Pupil A or Pupil B. Finding the allegations proven against him, the panel said it considered his actions to be calculated. Mr Newton-Badman, who started working at the school, now known as the Telford Langley, in 2002, is now prohibited from teaching indefinitely. UN Human Rights Commissioner Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein said the comments by Katie Hopkins were similar to language used before the Rwandan genocide. Mr Hussein said the UK needed to take steps to curb the "incitement to hatred" caused by British newspapers. News Corporation, which owns The Sun, has declined to comment. Writing on Friday, Ms Hopkins did not apologise but said the episode had been "a cautionary tale". A petition calling for her to be fired from The Sun has received more than 280,000 signatures. In her column on 17 April Ms Hopkins likened migrants to "norovirus on a cruise ship" and said gunships should be used to stop people crossing the Mediterranean. More than 1,700 migrants are believed to have died so far this year attempting to cross the Mediterranean. Ms Hopkins' column was published before a fishing boat capsized off Libya, killing at least 750 people. Mr Hussein said the article was "one of the more extreme examples of thousands of anti-foreigner articles that have appeared in UK tabloids over the past two decades". "This vicious verbal assault on migrants and asylum seekers in the UK tabloid press has continued unchallenged under the law for far too long," he said. "I am an unswerving advocate of freedom of expression, which is guaranteed under Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, but it is not absolute. "Article 20 of the same covenant says 'any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law'." Mr Hussein called on all European countries to take a "firmer line" on racism and xenophobia, which he said "under the guise of freedom of expression, are being allowed to feed a vicious cycle of vilification, intolerance and politicisation of migrants, as well as of marginalised European minorities such as the Roma". He added: "The nasty underbelly of racism that is characterising the migration debate in an increasing number of EU countries has skewed the EU response to the crisis." In a press release containing Mr Hussein's comments, the UN said the article followed "decades of sustained and unrestrained anti-foreigner abuse, misinformation and distortion". It said the use of word "cockroaches" in Ms Hopkins' column was "very similar" to that employed by Rwanda's Kangura newspaper and Radio Mille Collines during the run up to the 1994 genocide, as well as in the Nazi media. BBC Geneva correspondent Imogen Foulkes said the statement reflected widespread concern within the UN that anti-foreigner sentiment in the media may dissuade the public from supporting action needed to save lives. A spokesman for the Independent Press Standards Organisation said it had received more than 300 complaints about Ms Hopkins' article and that it was investigating whether the piece breached its editors' code. Ms Hopkins used her column on Friday to respond to criticism, saying she was "grateful to The Sun for letting me speak my mind, and for all the letters of support from readers". She did not apologise but said the episode had been "a cautionary tale," adding: "One should be brave enough to speak out - but aware of the dangers which lurk in the depths of our vocabulary." Addressing her critics, she went on: "Accept our opinions differ. Channel your outrage at the regimes causing people to flee." Mike O'Leary, of Beulah Print, Drogheda, said that a complaint has been made under the Equal Status Act. He said it was alleging sexual discrimination. In March, the company defended its decision not to print the invitations for Jonathon Brennan and John Kierans. The company said: "We are not against homosexuals, however we do not support same sex marriage, which printing wedding invitations would do." Drogheda men Mr Brennan and Mr Kierans plan to marry in August. On Friday, Mr Brennan declined to confirm if the complaint had come from the couple, but said they wanted "to put the issue to bed". The company's Mr O'Leary said: "We can confirm that a complaint has been received which is now in the hands of the Equality Tribunal. "The tribunal normally invites both parties to mediation in an effort to resolve the complaint so we expect this to take place shortly." The Palace of Westminster has seen fire and floods, some stonework is badly damaged and much of the infrastructure has not been updated since the 1950s. Restoring it will be "embarrassing, expensive and difficult", a senior insider said. No final decisions have been taken, but an option under consideration is moving MPs and peers out for five years. Some parts of the façade of Westminster Hall are so fragile they can be crumbled off easily with a hand. The basements underneath the historic building are full of asbestos, leaking pipes and miles and miles of outdated wiring and cables. The annual maintenance bill is about £30m. Newsnight, which was given exclusive access to parts of the palace never seen by the public, has been told by several well-placed sources that the "working assumption" of the cost of restoration is £3bn. That's considerably more than other estimates previously released. A source familiar with the project said: "I'd be surprised if it stayed at that." Richard Ware, the director of the "Restoration and Renewal" project, said the work was urgent. "We're moving backwards. The building is getting older, faster than we can deal with it," he said. "The building is on borrowed time and, if we don't act soon, we won't have a choice." He warned that if nothing was done, politicians and staff would end up "working in a ruin". Cloister Court, part of the building dating back to the 14th Century, is "sinking and crumbling", according to Adam Watrobski, Parliament's principal architect. Gargoyles and stone facades have been disfigured by decades of pollution. An initial, independent report has been completed, considering and costing three main options: The parliamentary authorities have decided not to publish the report until next summer. They are reluctant to make the cost of the building an issue in the run-up to the general election and are expected to commission more research instead. Sources emphasise that, at this stage, no final decision has been taken about the preferred option or final cost. Mr Ware accepts the cost may be well over the most recent estimates of about £1.6bn, but won't yet divulge what the final figure might be. There will inevitably be controversy about the costs. But historian and architectural expert Dan Cruickshank believes the Palace of Westminster "it's one of the great buildings of the world". He added: "It represents in many ways the national identity of Britain... it has to be done properly. "It has to be a model of how to make a historic building work for the 21st Century." Newsnight also understands that an independent quango, similar to the Olympic Delivery Authority that was in charge of the 2012 Olympics, is likely to be set up to manage the project. The decisions, which may need legislation, will have to be made soon after the general election next year. The most likely start date for the actual restoration is 2021, so that MPs elected in the 2020 election would be able to sit in the Commons for 12 months before potentially having to move out. Sources predict that the decisions around cost and moving politicians are likely to be a "real battle", storing up trouble for MPs after next May.

Media playback is not supported on this device The Spain forward missed Chelsea's win at Leicester on Saturday with a back injury, says boss Antonio Conte. The 28-year-old has reportedly fallen out with his boss and trained on his own on Monday, however this was to aid his recovery. BBC Sport understands Blues owner Roman Abramovich will not bow to interest from China in the club's top scorer. The Premier League leaders, who recently sold midfielder Oscar to Chinese club Shanghai SIPG for £60m, do not need to raise further funds through selling players. Reports have linked Costa with a move to the Chinese Super League that could earn him £30m a year. On Monday, the league introduced a rule stating teams could only field three non-Chinese players. The Spain international, who has scored 14 Premier League goals in 19 appearances this season, missed three days of training last week and was seen training at the club's Cobham training ground on Monday. The rest of the club's playing staff resume training on Tuesday, when Costa will be evaluated to determine whether he can rejoin the first-team squad. Chelsea, who have a seven-point lead at the top of the table, are at home to Hull on Sunday. Conte has not confirmed or denied any rift with the former Atletico Madrid player, and said that if such a problem arose he would deal with it in-house. Former England captain Alan Shearer told MOTD2 Extra that Chelsea would face a "huge uphill struggle" to win the title without Costa, who is joint top scorer in the league with Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez, Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Tottenham's Harry Kane. "Costa will dictate the situation," said Shearer. "The players have the vast majority of the power. If the player does not want to be there, he will go." Football Focus pundit Mark Lawrenson said: "If you get £60m for him let him go. Have you seen Chinese football? It's rubbish. He's at his peak. The team is built around him, a top, top player. If he wants to go to China and be bored for 18 hours a day, good luck with that one." Costa has scored 51 goals in 99 games for the Blues since joining from Atletico for £32m in 2014. The Scottish Professional Football League has set up a working group to consider the plan, with support from lower league clubs. Houston also believes that the quarter-final and semi-final should be reduced to a single match. "It would be an occasion like a cup final - exciting," he said. "I'd prefer that. I look at the Hibernian versus Falkirk games, 12,000 at Easter Road and 8,000 here. "In a one-off situation and you take it to Tynecastle, you'd probably get 20,000 for a winner-takes-all scenario." Falkirk defeated Hibernian over two legs in this season's semi-final after the Easter Road side beat Raith Rovers, again over two games, in the quarter-final. The Bairns then lost 4-1 on aggregate in last week's final, with Kilmarnock staying up in the Premiership, and Houston would like to see changes to the format. "Our players were physically and mentally tired and that was us finishing second and only having four games to play," Houston said. "If it had been a one-off situation against Kilmarnock, who knows what would have happened? We might have won it. "It gives Championship sides a better opportunity to try to get up." The SPFL working group has canvassed opinion and will continue to look into the proposal. The play-offs are widely considered to be a success and change may be unlikely ahead of the renewal date for the current broadcast deal in 2020. Falkirk's manager insists that his players will not suffer a hangover from the disappointment of falling short this season. "It's gone out the system now," said Houston, who has been named Scottish Championship manager of the year but felt that his side had let down their fans on Sunday. "Sunday was a really disappointing day. We took a fantastic support down there. "Over the balance of the season, the team did magnificently well and that's why the supporters were down there. "We were beaten over the two legs by the better team." The victory of the side finishing second bottom of the Premiership over the team coming through the Championship play-offs was a repeat of last year. "It shows you," added Houston. "Over the last two years, Rangers were heavily beaten by Motherwell and Kilmarnock comfortably beat us over two legs. There is that gap between 11th and second place. "We have to evaluate the season, which has been good in many ways and an improvement from the season before, but we have to improve further if we want to take this club into the Premier League. "I know what has to be done and it will take some better quality and some better physicality in our players. "We need to get a stronger squad of players, but it depends on what money the board of directors can give us to improve the side." Tony Gauci died in Malta of natural causes, a retired senior police officer involved in the case told the BBC. Gauci said he had sold Megrahi clothing found wrapped around the bomb which exploded as flight Pan Am 103 flew over Scotland in 1988, killing 270 people. Some doubts have been raised about his reliability. Convicted in 2001 before being flown to Scotland to serve his sentence, Megrahi maintained he was innocent until his death in 2012. The Libyan lost one appeal against the conviction in 2002. Five years later, the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission ruled that there were six grounds for a second appeal. The Commission questioned the evidence regarding the date on which the prosecution said the clothes were bought from Gauci's shop. It also said that evidence which cast doubt on Gauci's identification of Megrahi had not been made available to the defence, a breach of rules designed to ensure a fair trial. In particular, it said there was evidence that four days before he identified Megrahi, Gauci had seen a photograph of him in a magazine article about the bombing. There have also been questions raised about money reported to have been paid to Gauci in connection with his participation in the inquiry. In November 2013 the Crown Office said: "No witness was offered any inducement by the Crown or the Scottish police before and during the trial and there is no evidence that any other law ­enforcement agency offered such an inducement." The retired officer spoke of Gauci's "great honesty, integrity and bravery in the face of constant threats as a result of the evidence he gave". In 2014, Scotland's top prosecutor, Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland reaffirmed his belief that Megrahi is guilty. He said no Crown Office investigator or prosecutor had ever raised concerns about the evidence used to convict him. The Pan Am flight exploded over Lockerbie, in the south of Scotland, on 21 December 1988. As well as 259 people on board the aircraft, 11 residents of Lockerbie died on the ground as a result of a giant fireball as the plane crashed to the ground. The Scottish government released Megrahi on compassionate grounds in August 2009 after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given six months to live. He returned to Libya, where he died in May 2012. The previous IPL low was 58, scored by Rajasthan Royals against Bangalore in 2009. England paceman Chris Woakes was among the wickets for Kolkata, taking 3-6 in two overs, while no Bangalore batsman reached double figures. The collapse gave Kolkata victory by 82 runs. Bangalore have a star-studded batting line-up featuring the likes of Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and India captain Virat Kohli, as well as England bowler Tymal Mills. However, they have won only two of seven games in the IPL this season and are bottom of the table. It means that only one of the three remaining Championship clubs can make it through to face either Queen's Park or League One's Peterhead. Rangers' had their quarter-final tie postponed because of international commitments. They face Livingston on 20 October. The winners will have a home tie against St Mirren, while the Spiders host Peterhead at Hampden Park. Rangers or Livingston v St Mirren Queen's Park v Peterhead El Comercio made the decision after it was disclosed that Cardinal Cipriani had used the writings of former popes without attributing them. The newspaper said it had been proven that he had plagiarised Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Paul VI. The prelate apologised to his followers for not having mentioned his sources. "All my teachings come from the pontiffs of the Church," he said. "I would constantly have to say: as Pope so and so said..." Cardinal Cipriani added that popes had no property rights over their words, as they were part of the heritage of the faith. Last week a Peruvian website, Utero.pe, accused Lima's archbishop of including six paragraphs from the book Communio by Pope Benedict (then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger) and parts of the Ecclesiam suam, an encyclical by Pope Paul VI, in his editorials for El Comercio. Following the revelation, the newspaper deleted two articles by the cardinal and said it would not publish him again.

There have been 11 Scottish titles, numerous wins worldwide in International Challenge and Grand Prix events, representing Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi and Glasgow - winning silver in the latter - and donning British colours at the Rio Olympics in 2016, followed soon after by a career-high world ranking of 14. It's an impressive CV for one so young, but Gilmour's sole focus is on what's to come - top-level tournaments in a hectic summer. She has a bounce in her step again after an impressive return from knee surgery last October. Last weekend, she picked up a silver medal at the European Championships in Kolding, Denmark. A 21-14 21-12 defeat by her Spanish rival Carolina Marin in the final for the second year running followed tournament wins at the Austrian Open and the Orleans International. Before that, in February, she marked her comeback by winning the singles and mixed doubles, with Patrick MacHugh, at the Scottish finals in Perth, having completed her rehabilitation with the utmost attention to detail. "I did not miss a session," she points out. "I am satisfied with how the Europeans went because it was one of the tournaments I wanted to peak for this year," Gilmour tells BBC Scotland. "Knowing how I felt after the final last year, when I also got silver, I wanted that gold even more. "It was always going to be a tough task. Carolina Marin is the Olympic champion, a two-time world champion, All England champion and now three-time European champion. Playing against her can be a hellish ordeal for anyone. "However, I felt it was a better performance from me. I like to think I stood up and gave her a good fight." Gilmour feels her knee is "just about perfect" after the operation to repair a torn meniscus and, with her Malayasian coach Tat Meng Wong tweaking her playing style, she is approaching her profession with renewed enthusiasm. "I feel really confident about how it is going," says Gilmour, currently ranked 44th in the world. "Having had that little taste again at the Europeans, I have a real plan and I'm excited about what's to come later in the season. I don't have anything lower than a Grand Prix-level tournament so it will be against these top players. "There's a good opportunity for me to gain a lot of points because of the level of tournament that I'm playing." Gilmour is especially looking forward to playing in the Sudirman Cup in Australia's Gold Coast later this month, partly because it is being held in the same hall as the Commonwealth Games competition next year, but also since it gives her a rare opportunity to be part of a team. "It's the World Mixed Team Championships. I love a team event!" she exclaims. "If I don't lose my voice shouting for the team I've not done my job properly. I get so few opportunities to compete as part of a team, being a singles player. "Being alone on the court, coming off and people saying 'well done', it feels good, but when that game you've won goes towards the team it's such a nice feeling for me." England are not entering the Sudirman Cup this year, pointing to a funding cut by UK Sport in February. That funding decision stung Gilmour and she has spent a lot of time and effort trying to attract a commercial sponsor to supplement her income from Badminton Scotland in order to meet the cost of flights, hotels and food while competing around the world. Her efforts, with a friend, to make a promo video to appeal to sponsors has in part paid off, and she will soon become a brand ambassador for a company in the building trade. Her schedule in the coming weeks suggests she will need a financial backer. After the Gold Coast, it's home for three weeks, then Indonesia, Australia again, back home for a spell and then Canada and the United States before the World Championships come to Glasgow in August. "There's a lot to do before the World Championships but I'm excited to be back playing these top tournaments," she says. "I didn't take it for granted before but I am actively excited now. It's such a nice feeling to have that to look forward to now." The rate of people arriving has risen to 8,000 a day, the UN's High Commissioner for Refugees said, with many hoping to beat winter weather. Most migrants then head north from Greece, but bottlenecks are forming in some Balkan states. Slovenia has deployed its army to its border after being overwhelmed by numbers entering from Croatia. The number of migrants reaching Europe has reached record levels in 2015: Most travel from Turkey to Greece, and while summer months usually see the most arrivals, the number of people reaching Greece increased in October. Long winter sets in: EU pins hope on deteriorating weather Crisis in graphics: Migration numbers explained UNHCR spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said EU countries - who last month agreed to relocate 66,000 migrants from Italy and Greece - urgently needed to establish welcome centres as part of the deal. "Obviously Greece is doing what it can, it's pulling in additional police," she said. "But we need to repeat over and over again that it is of utmost importance here that reception conditions be established and be adequate to this enormous task." The relocation plan "is in serious peril and may fail", Ms Fleming said. The UNHCR says only 19 migrants have been relocated in the last months - all Eritreans, who have moved from Italy to Sweden. EU response: EU solution seems nowhere in sight Hungary closed its southern border with Croatia on Friday night, citing security concerns. The decision forced migrants to switch to a slower route via Slovenia. Croatia and Slovenia imposed strict controls as a result, but those restrictions appeared to be relaxed on Monday night as many people waited in wet and windy conditions. But Slovenia said it had been overwhelmed by the numbers entering from Croatia over the last three days. Slovenia's interior ministry says more than 19,500 migrants have arrived in the country since Friday, with at least 5,092 crossing the border on Tuesday alone. It had previously said it would take in only 2,500 migrants a day. Slovenia has called on European Union member states to help with the influx of migrants who have entered the country over the past few days. Prime Minister Miro Cerar said the current numbers were beyond anything the small country could cope with. "It is wrong to foster the illusion that it is possible for a small nation of two million people to stop, solve and rectify a situation where even much bigger EU member states have failed," he said. No-man's land: Border closures leave thousands stranded 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 ONS blamed part of the fall on maintenance in a major oil field. Compared with a year ago, total production output is estimated to have increased by 1.5%. Output from the manufacturing sector increased by 0.2% in June, following a 0.6% drop in May. UK manufacturers have struggled this year due to weak demand from Europe, a high pound and sluggish investment. Despite the return to growth in June, the chief economist at the British Chambers of Commerce, David Kern, described the manufacturing sector's overall performance as "mediocre". "Year-on-year growth is below 1% and the level of manufacturing output is still almost 5% below its pre-recession peak in the first quarter of 2008." Chris Williamson, chief economist at research firm Markit, agreed that despite the rise in manufacturing output in June the outlook remained subdued. "The much-vaunted UK manufacturing revival remains a distant policymakers' dream rather than a reality and the UK economy remains clearly reliant on the service sector as its primary source of growth." He said the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee faced a dilemma about when to raise interest rates. "The weakness of the (manufacturing) sector presents policymakers with a difficult decision as to whether a surging service sector justifies hiking interest rates or whether growth needs to be more balanced before the economy can safely withstand a tightening of monetary policy." Mexico's Alvarez, who knocked out Briton Amir Khan in his last fight in May, has lost just one of 49 pro bouts, to Floyd Mayweather on points in 2013. He is favourite to beat WBO light middleweight champion Smith, 28, when they meet on Saturday. "I need tests like this because I need a bit of fear in me to win," the Liverpudlian told BBC Sport. "I need that fear factor in training otherwise I might get beat by someone I should never lose against, all because I couldn't get up in the morning. "I don't want that to happen, so this fear I have in training will bring the best out of me when I face Alvarez." Smith, who is unbeaten in 24 contests, won the WBO belt when he defeated USA fighter John Thompson in Manchester last October. He believes victory over former WBC middleweight champion Alvarez on Saturday will establish him as a major force in world boxing, which is why he told his promoter, Frank Warren, he wanted the fight. "I'm one win away from being a superstar," he said. "This kind of fight is one I've asked for since I won the title. I could've kept kidding the public, kept taking money off Frank and said: 'I'm not ready to step up yet. Keep on giving me easy fights.' "But as soon as I became world champion and they gave me the WBO belt, I've wanted to fight the big names ever since. I wanted to fight guys like Shane Moseley, Miguel Cotto and Alvarez. Now I have my chance." Alvarez has been fighting since the age of 15 and demonstrated his punching power during his emphatic victory over Khan. But Smith said: "In my frame of mind, I'm not going in that ring as the underdog and I'm not calling it an upset because I know I'm good enough to beat him. "I will look for the knockout, because that's the way I fight. I want to get in there, break him down and stop him. And when I win and my hand is raised, I'll say to all those people that doubted me: 'I told you so.'" The 20-year-old was attacked on Skegoneill Avenue at about 18:35 GMT on Saturday. It is believed that up to 10 people were involved in the incident. The victim suffered a suspected fractured wrist as well as swelling to his head and face. A 17-year-old boy was arrested a short time later and is being questioned on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. The trouble followed an Irish league football match between Cliftonville and Crusaders. "During my term as a councillor we have had numerous meetings after instances like happened yesterday," Ulster Unionist councillor David Browne said. "It doesn't happen all the time, it could be quiet for months, sometimes years, and then instances break out. "It's sad from a sporting perspective, it's sad for the two clubs who are both doing very well at the minute." Police have appealed for anyone who was in Skegoneill Avenue or Jellicoe Avenue on Saturday evening and who witnessed the assault or any suspicious activity to contact them. The 24-year-old Belgium attacker collected 53% of the votes from the 300-plus journalists who were polled. Tottenham striker Harry Kane finished second, while Blues team-mate and captain John Terry was third. Hazard, who signed for Chelsea in 2012, scored 20 goals in all competitions this season for the champions. FWA chairman Andy Dunn, of the Sunday Mirror, said: "The list of truly world-class players on the Football Writers' Association roll of honour is a long one and Eden Hazard is a worthy addition. "A creator, a goalscorer and the hardest of workers, Hazard has been a constant source of threat for the Premier League champions." Two officers were treated in hospital for facial injuries after the incident on the city's ring road on Sunday while they were responding to a 999 call. Jason Gamble, 44, of Harnall Lane West in Foleshill, is charged with criminal damage with intent to endanger life. Mr Gamble has been remanded in custody and is due before Coventry Magistrates' on 28 May. A second man, aged 19, is being questioned by West Midlands Police in connection with the attack. The motion passed by 234 votes to 56, meaning some members of Ms Park's ruling Saenuri party voted in favour. Hwang Kyo-ahn, the country's prime minister, has become interim president. Thousands of people took to the streets in recent weeks demanding Ms Park's removal. After the vote, she again apologised that she had "created this national chaos with my carelessness". At the heart of the crisis is the relationship between Ms Park and a close confidante, Choi Soon-sil, who stands accused of using her connections to gain influence and financial benefits. She is in custody, facing charges of coercion and abuse of power. Prosecutors say Ms Park had a "considerable" role in the alleged corruption, which she has denied. Ms Park and Ms Choi have been close friends since the 1970s, when Ms Park was acting as first lady after her mother was killed during an assassination attempt on her father, then the country's military strongman. Ms Choi's father was a cult leader who had become Ms Park's mentor. It is alleged that after Ms Park became president in 2013, Ms Choi, 60, used their friendship to pressure powerful corporations into donating to two foundations she controlled and then siphoned off funds for her personal use. On Tuesday the corporations' leaders were grilled by MPs on whether they made the donations in exchange for political favours. Ms Park has also come under fire for allowing Ms Choi inappropriate access to government decisions, something which she has repeatedly apologised for. The parliamentary vote means Ms Park - South Korea's first female president - has been suspended. The case now goes before the Constitutional Court, which has 180 days to make a final ruling. If at least six of the court's nine judges approve the decision, Ms Park will become the first sitting South Korean president to be deposed in the country's democratic era and a new presidential election will be held within 60 days. In 2004, parliament impeached President Roh Moo-hyun, who was suspended for two months. However the court overturned the impeachment vote and Mr Roh was reinstated. Hwang Kyo-ahn, a 59-year-old who spent most of his career as a prosecutor, is now acting-president. He had earlier served as justice minister, before becoming prime minister in June 2015, In 2014, as justice minister, Mr Hwang oversaw the banning of the Unified Progressive Party, which was accused of holding pro-North Korean views. The move was criticised by the human rights group Amnesty International. Japan's Nikkei 225 was down 0.12% at 18,895.01 points. A strong yen against the dollar is not good for Japan's big exporters as it makes their products more expensive to buy overseas. Toshiba shares were down more than 7% on Tuesday after sinking 10% on Monday ahead of an expected announcement about job cuts. After Japan's stock market closed on Monday, the electronics giant said it would cut 6,800 jobs at its consumer electronics division. The numbers were worse than expected. It also said it would report a record annual loss of 550bn yen ($4.53bn) and that more jobs would be lost from other sectors. Also adding to investor worries, oil prices have fallen to levels not seen since 2004. Brent crude sank to $36.05 a barrel - its weakest since July 2004 - before recovering slightly. Oil prices have fallen sharply since last year, when they reached $115 per barrel, because of global oversupply on the market. In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 index was higher, up 0.21% at 5,119.70 in mid morning trade. Iron ore prices rose again overnight - to $40.46 a tonne. The commodity is Australia's biggest export. In China, the Shanghai Composite was flat, down just 0.02% at 3,641.65, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng also little changed, up just 0.01% at 21,798.22. South Korea's benchmark Kospi index was down 0.24% at 1,975.96. Mae gan y blaid fwyafrif mewn 10 o'r 22 awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru, ac yn rhedeg dau gyngor arall fel lleiafrif.

When officers arrived a stolen red Audi A6 car, with four people inside, fled the scene and rammed two marked police cars. The car was later abandoned and two boys, aged 15 and 16, found nearby. The pair were arrested on suspicion of burglary and have been released on bail. Officers are looking to trace two other people seen in the stolen car. Det Sgt Jamie Mason, from West Midlands Police, said two traffic officers were treated for bruising and whiplash after the cars were rammed.

It follows a review held in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. But environmental group WWF Scotland said the guidelines would do little to prevent oil spills. It also claimed the guidelines would make no difference to wildlife caught up in any future incident. The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change ordered a review of regulations in light of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. The resulting Maitland Review was published in December 2011. In announcing the government response to the review last month, UK Energy Minister John Hayes said it was "vital" that oil and gas activities met "the highest possible standards of safety and environmental protection". Under the new guidance, UK offshore oil and gas firms will need to show they are able to pay for an incident which occurs during a specific operation. The guidelines suggest existing insurance cover remains broadly appropriate for many operators, but call for increased levels of cover from explorers in more difficult waters, where the cost of a spill could be greater. Lang Banks, of WWF Scotland, said: "While it's only right that oil and gas explorers should be forced to be insured to levels high enough to cover the costs of capping and clean-up, these new rules will do little to prevent future spills. "Total's Elgin and Shell's Gannet Alpha platforms were all insured but it still didn't prevent accidents at those facilities. "Any level of insurance cover is meaningless to the thousands of marine birds, mammals and other wildlife that would be wiped out by a single deepwater oil spill." He added: "The only way to prevent future spills and accidents is to end our addiction to oil, stop giving tax breaks to the oil industry and stop exploration for new oil and gas in dangerous deepwater locations."

More emojis are to be introduced at later dates. Darren MacLeod, digital services manager at the local authority, said: "Although emojis are usually associated with fun, there is a serious message. "For example, where our web users have literacy challenges or perhaps English is not their first language emoji have become a universal symbol for conveying a feeling or an idea and can help navigating to relevant website pages. "Also, in a mobile environment or small screen, it helps to be able to add an emoji rather than type a long address." The 22-year-old welterweight will fight at the SSE Arena on the undercard of Ricky Burns' super-lightweight unification bout with Julius Indongo. He lost to eventual champion Daniyar Yeleussinov of Kazakhstan in round two of last year's Olympics in Rio. "The pro game will suit me, I'm business-like and I think I can sell myself," said Kelly, from Sunderland. "I want to get fans across the whole of Britain and beyond to want to watch me and come to my fights. I think they'll see flash and flair, and there will be KOs too." He has signed with promoter Eddie Hearn and will be trained by Adam Booth - former trainer of David Haye - who also currently oversees WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders. Kelly added: "My style is perfect for Adam, he loves flair but he knows how to control it. He lets you express yourself but he doesn't neglect the basics."

ScotRail is running replacement buses and estimated that about 70% of services would be unaffected. The dispute relates to driver-only-operation (DOO) trains, where the driver is asked to close the doors at stations, instead of the conductor. The RMT union says the move poses a risk but ScotRail said it would always schedule a second person on trains. Members of the RMT already staged four walkouts and the latest action forms part of a further series of strikes. Talks have been taking place to resolve the dispute, however on Friday, conciliation and arbitration service Acas said discussions between the RMT and ScotRail had adjourned "to allow both sides to consider their positions". The Scottish government said it had contacted both parties, calling on them to "put their differences to one side and reach an agreement in order to minimise disruption for the public". RMT's revised programme of strike action: * 00.01 to 23.59 on 3 July * 00.01 on 10 July to 23.59 on 11 July * 00.01 to 23.59 on 14 July * 00.01 on 16 July to 23.59 on 17 July

Members of ScotRail staff are striking on Sunday after talks to resolve a row over driver-only trains broke up.

Communities devastated by flooding at Christmas have been told to be prepared and the Met Office issued heavy rain warnings for much of the UK. BBC Weather said western areas would bear the brunt as the "remnants" of the storm that brought severe blizzards to the US hits the country. The government said the priority would be protecting lives and homes. The storm in the US brought near-record snowfall from Washington to New York. BBC Weather's Carol Kirkwood said wet and windy weather had already hit most of northern England, most of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but central and eastern England was having a dry start to the day. "There will be gusts of wind - 50, 60, possibly even 70mph with exposure," she said. Heavy rain is forecast to move south-eastward during Tuesday. The Environment Agency warned those in Cumbria, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Devon and Cornwall to prepare for flooding. Some 20-40mm (0.8-1.6in) of rain - and up to 60mm in the most exposed areas - is forecast in Scotland, while north-west England, Wales, Devon and Cornwall are predicted to get between 30 and 50mm, with up to 100mm in exposed uplands. Gusts of 60mph are likely along south-facing coasts of south-west Scotland, with large waves also expected on Tuesday, the Met Office says. In England and Wales, the heaviest rain and strongest winds are expected in two bouts - one late morning and afternoon on Tuesday, and another Tuesday night into Wednesday, before clearing to the south-east on Wednesday afternoon. There is also a warning in place for heavy rain for Northern Ireland on Wednesday, when gale-force winds are expected. The Environment Agency said it was monitoring river levels. There are currently four flood warnings, meaning flooding is expected: three are in Dorset and one is in Cumbria. There are also more than 65 flood alerts - meaning flooding is possible - in England and Wales. The agency said rivers in Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire were already at record levels following the wettest ever December and were likely to be at risk of flooding. There was also a possibility of "some flooding" along the rivers Severn and Wye. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) currently has more than 30 flood warnings and nine flood alerts in place. Environment Secretary Elizabeth Truss chaired a meeting of the government's emergency Cobra committee in preparation for the bad weather. "We know this will be an especially anxious time for many communities who suffered flooding last month and where the ground is still saturated," she said afterwards. "I want to assure them that we are taking all possible steps to prepare for the storm. "The military are on standby, temporary defences and pumps are being deployed across the country, and Environment Agency staff are checking and maintaining flood defences, clearing blockages in watercourses and monitoring water levels. "Our priority continues to be protecting lives, protecting homes and protecting businesses." Clare Dinnis, the Environment Agency's national flood duty manager, also urged people to take care near coastal paths and promenades, and not to drive through flood-water. Media tycoon Mir Quasem Ali, 63, of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, was sentenced to death two years ago. He had been convicted of offences including murder and torture. The tycoon was hanged at a high-security prison outside Dhaka on Saturday evening. He was arrested in 2010 and convicted in 2014. He declined to seek a presidential pardon, which would have required an admission of guilt. A huge security operation was staged before and after his execution. Previous executions have led to huge crowds demonstrating both in support and against them. An ambulance carrying Ali's body emerged from the jail in the early hours of Sunday and took it to his home village in Manikganj for burial. Ali's wife Khandker Ayesha Khatun told reporters at the jail that the family wanted to bury him in Dhaka, but this request was refused by the authorities. His execution follows several attacks by Islamist militants in Bangladesh, including an assault on a cafe in Dhaka in July in which 20 hostages, most of them foreigners, were killed. At his trial, Ali had been accused of involvement in a "reign of terror" in the city of Chittagong. He was found guilty of eight of the 14 charges he faced including the abduction and killing of a teenager who supported the creation of a state independent from Pakistan. "All along he said he was innocent. He said he is being killed unjustifiably," Tahera Tasnim, one of his daughters told the AFP news agency. She was among 23 family members who met him for the last time in the prison just hours before he was hanged. Six opposition leaders have now been executed for war crimes since the Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, set up a war crimes tribunal in 2010. Five were top leaders of the Jamaat party. The International Crimes Tribunal have so far sentenced 24 people to death and 18 to jail for varying terms on charge of genocide and crimes against humanity. Critics of the court say the government has been using the tribunal to target political opponents. Human Rights Watch has previously said the court's procedures are not up to international standards. Ms Hasina's government has defended the trials, saying they are necessary to heal the wounds of the conflict. Government figures suggest as many as three million people died in the nine-month war to secede from Pakistan, although some say the number of deaths is unverifiable and probably less than that. Just 29 of the 320 on board the Hirano Maru survived when the vessel was hit, a month before the end of World War One. Fifteen of the bodies were washed up on Pembrokeshire's shores. A wooden post in a churchyard in Angle to remember the victims has rotted so locals hope to erect a new memorial. During the Great War, Japan was Britain's ally and her merchant ships were a target for German U-boats. On 4 October 1918 - one month before the armistice - one such vessel, the Hirano Maru, was torpedoed off the coast of Ireland. Most of those who died washed up on Irish beaches, but 15 bodies were found on Pembrokeshire's shores - seven at Freshwater West, five in Dale, one at St Ishmael's and two in Solva. David James, of the West Wales Maritime Heritage Society, said: "All of these graves have markers, but the wooden post that was erected in nearby Angle for seven of the victims has long since rotted away." He is now trying to get a new memorial erected at the unmarked grave in St Mary's church. "You could say I'm keeping a promise that I make every Remembrance Day: 'We will remember them'," he added. "These people were our allies, somebody's sons, husbands and fathers. "There should be a marker there, I feel it is only right." In the burial records of Angle churchyard, only one of the victims from the time is named, Shiro Okoshi. The rest are listed as "unknown". Mr James has contacted the Japanese Embassy to raise the issue, and enlisted the support of a retired Japanese Major General living in Swansea. Ken Matsui said he was honoured to hear that the people of Pembrokeshire wanted to mark his country's loss. "I was very touched to hear about this," he said. "More than 40 Japanese vessels were sunk or attacked during World War One. "But the Hirano Maru stands out because it was sunk so close to the end of the war - only a few weeks later the German U-boat surrendered to British forces." If St Mary's church gives the go ahead, Mr James said he hopes to hold a special service of dedication. Jim Sharp, 66, suffered multiple injuries in an accident at Newbigging Walls farm, near Lauder, in March. A fatal accident inquiry heard that his shoe lace became entangled in a rotating blade inside a grain silo. NFU Scotland and the Health and Safety Executive have reminded farmers to use the safe stop procedure when working with any agricultural machinery. The guidelines include: They added that farmers should never enter a grain silo when the auger is running as several accidents have been caused when someone has become entangled in the sweep auger by a boot lace or clothing. In addition, farmers were urged not to enter grain silos to clear blockages of any kind unless the power is isolated and there is no chance of bridging in the grain. HSE inspector Hazel Dobb said: "The tragic death of Mr Sharp has once again brought home the dangers involved in the farming industry, particularly when working with agricultural machinery." Mr Sharp was a former livestock convener of NFU Scotland and a prominent breeder of Blackface sheep. NFU Scotland vice president Allan Bowie added: "Farming remains one of the most hazardous industries to work in and the loss of an important industry figure like Mr Sharp simply strengthens the union's resolve and commitment to work with others to improve our sector's health and safety record." Corina Cretu said she respected Wales' vote for Brexit, but called it unfortunate and regrettable. West Wales and the Valleys have received almost £4bn since 2002 and recently qualified for more funding. The aim is to create jobs and increase wealth and prosperity to bring the region closer to the EU average. "There were some regions in transition which have received a lot of money and we were there as a sign of solidarity in many moments of crisis for some regions, for instance when the mines were closed," said Ms Cretu, a former Romanian MEP who has been EU commissioner for regional policy since 2014. "We have trained people; we have opened, due to European funds, many new activities. "But of course this speaks also about our weaknesses of communicating what we are doing with European money, how European money is spent, so it's a lesson for us." She said communication of EU funding for Wales had not been effective before the Brexit vote. Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies, who campaigned to leave the EU, said: "Clearly they've learnt nothing at all from the referendum campaign, or the result. "The problem isn't public relations, it's outcomes - and Wales' poorest communities have been repeatedly let down over many years; not by a failure to communicate, but by a failure to make meaningful improvements to people's lives." WHAT DO WE WANT FROM BREXIT? MONTY'S BREWERY, MONTGOMERY, POWYS Russ Honeyman is co-owner of Monty's brewery in Montgomery, Powys, which has been going since 2009. His wife Pam is head brewer. They are looking to increase their exports - which accounts for about 5% of business. Mr Honeyman voted to leave and believes the UK government has a difficult balancing act. "I want to trade with Europe which is relatively easy at the moment. But there's the other side with migration and other issues so I can understand why it's taken time to make these decisions," he said. "Everybody wants something different out of it. We want to be able to trade with Europe and buy stuff in. Some of the kegs we use for export we buy in from Belgium and Holland. We also want to be able to sell back. "We're also looking to sell in Australia and have some interest from America - so it doesn't necessarily have to be EU trade." WHAT DO WE WANT FROM BREXIT? REAL PET FOOD COMPANY, FLINT, FLINTSHIRE Graham Wheeler is managing director of the Real Pet Food Company, which started in 1999 as a start-up firm making specialist treats for dogs and cats. It moved to Flint eight years ago and is now part of the IPN group. A new £6m factory is being built, with the hope of expanding the workforce from 30 to 50. Currently, 15% of its turnover is with the EU. "Ideally we'd like to maintain as free a trade as possible," said Mr Wheeler. "We realise that's going to be tricky to achieve but that's what we need to maintain a competitive position in Europe and maintain our position there." The firm would also like some free movement - as it finds it needs to supplement its recruitment with a proportion of migrant workers. As for red tape, he said: "Legislation and regulations we're under [in the EU] are there for a good reason and I can't see they'd agree to dropping them for us if we're exporting into Europe because that would give us a competitive advantage and it's all about being at a level playing field if you've got free trade, isn't it?" During the referendum, supporters of leaving the EU said the money was the UK's anyway and a future Westminster government could replace any funds lost as a result of Brexit. The UK is a net contributor to the EU while Wales is a net beneficiary. Ms Cretu told journalists in Brussels some UK regions did not believe such funding would be replaced after Brexit. Prime Minister Theresa May has indicated that she will trigger Article 50 early next year when negotiations on the future relationship between the EU and UK will begin. Ms Cretu accepted many businesses relied on access to the single market. But she reiterated the commission's view that it could only continue if the UK allowed the free movement of labour and other EU obligations. "My personal view is that access to the European market comes with the obligation of the UK to respect all freedoms of European citizens," she said. It comes after rival chain Tesco launched its own device, which has sold 300,000 units since it went on sale in September. Both tablets have 7in (18cm) screens and use the Android operating system. Aldi's Medion Lifetab costs just under £80 while Tesco's Hudl sells for £119. A spokesman for Aldi said the tablet was completely sold out in all stores. "Specialbuy" promotions such as the one used to advertise the Lifetab were limited "only until stocks last", he added. Both the Aldi and Tesco devices face competition from several 7in tablets already on the market including Google's Nexus 7 and Apple's iPad mini. These devices are more expensive, ranging from £199 to £350. Argos also entered the market with its MyTablet, which launched in October. Customers opting to buy the cheaper tablets available from the supermarkets would be looking for something different than those who bought the more expensive versions on offer from the likes of Google and Apple, said IDC's research director for mobile devices, Francisco Jeronimo. "The biggest selling point here is definitely the price," he said. "Tablets are becoming very popular." "The larger screen size gives entertainment on the move to users, which is becoming very popular among commuters and children. "However, most parents don't want to spend £300-£500 on a device that will mainly be used to play games, to watch movies and a few other educational applications," he added. Aldi's Lifetab has 8GB of built-in storage, and a 1.6GHz quad-core processor. In comparison, the Tesco Hudl has 16GB of built-in storage with a 1.5GHz quad-core processor. The arrival of the Hudl, the Lifetab and the MyTablet are seen as important in gaining share of the tablet market in the run-up to Christmas. Almost six million tablets were sold in the first half of 2013. IDC estimates that 25% of tablets shipped to the UK between July and September were under £120 and it expects this to grow over the next few years. While this is not seen as a move to position Aldi as a consumer electronics retailer, Tesco's tablet launch has allowed it to utilise services it already owns. Tesco's Hudl tablet comes loaded with blinkbox, the company's movie-on-demand service. It bought blinkbox in 2011 in an attempt to gain a share of the growing online TV and video streaming market. The deadline for the club to find a new buyer was extended last Tuesday by the administrators until 27 July. RFL licensing director Blake Solly told BBC Sport: "There is a variety of opinion among the other clubs. "But any decision as to whether Bradford will be allowed to stay in Super League is for the RFL board." A group of local businessmen are keen to buy the four-time Super League winners, who went into administration last month. Administrator Brendan Guilfoyle warned that the deal would be dependent on the RFL and the 13 other Super League clubs consenting to allow the club to remain in the top division and permitting the new owners to buy back their ground. He said on Tuesday: "For the deal to go through we need the RFL to agree to us remaining in the top division and buying the ground back from them. "We need the other clubs to agree that Super League is a poorer place without us." Solly added that he was confident that the club would survive even if they had to drop into the Championship. "There has been some consultation with the clubs already, but the ultimate decision maker will be the RFL," said Solly. "Some clubs support the idea of Bradford staying in the league while others take a more hardline view. "They would prefer to see them outside because leaving them in would impact on the integrity of the competition. "But whether in the Super League or Championship, the passion of supporters in the past few months shows you that professional Rugby League has a big future in Bradford." The economic future of Rugby League has been questioned after a year which has seen Wakefield go into administration and Welsh club Crusaders leave Super League over money issues. But Solly believes clubs which are well run can continue to flourish. He said: "We believe there is a viable economic model for a 14-club Super League. You just have to manage your club very well. "When the licences were announced last year it was clear that if a club failed during the licence period the licence was in danger of being revoked. "Bradford have failed so they have brought themselves into that area. "What we've tried to do is create an environment that allows good clubs to succeed. Unfortunately some clubs like Bradford haven't done that." Media playback is not supported on this device Chasing 229, India looked set for victory at 191-3, but Anya Shrubsole pinned Punam Raut lbw for 86 to spark a collapse of seven wickets for 28 runs. The seamer finished with 6-46 - the best figures in a World Cup final - as India were bowled out for 219 with eight balls unused. Even as Shrubsole was in the middle of a stunning spell of 5-11 in 19 deliveries, India were within touching distance of the highest successful chase in a World Cup final and a first major trophy. Fears that England may have missed their chance were raised when Jenny Gunn dropped a sitter at mid-off to reprieve Poonam Yadav. But Shrubsole bowled Rajeshwari Gayakwad next ball to spark joyous scenes on the pitch and among the majority of fans in a sell-out crowd. Natalie Sciver made 51 and Sarah Taylor 45 in England's 228-7, which proved enough for a fourth World Cup crown. It ended a wait for a global trophy that went back to 2009 and vindicated the approach of coach Mark Robinson, who dispensed with former captain Charlotte Edwards after defeat in the semi-finals of the 2016 World Twenty20. Media playback is not supported on this device After losing the World T20 semi to Australia in India last year, Robinson criticised his team's fitness and set about making changes. Edwards was replaced as captain and retired, with new skipper Heather Knight leading a team of players that established themselves in the international arena. Batters Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Winfeld and Fran Wilson have all been integrated into the top order, Alex Hartley's left-arm spin has become integral to the attack and Sarah Taylor has returned from an anxiety-related issue. Knight's side were beaten by India in the first game of the tournament, but steadily improved to top the eight-team group, including beating defending champions Australia. Their thrilling semi-final victory over South Africa was front-page news, but it was nothing compared to the drama of the final in the rain at a packed, partisan and raucous Lord's. Before the final, Shrubsole's father shared a picture on Twitter of his daughter as a nine-year-old, who said she wanted to play in a World Cup final at Lord's. The vice-captain had already hit the winning runs in the semi-final, and, in the final, lifted England when the World Cup looked to be slipping away. "It worked wonders for my dad's media profile," Shrubsole told BBC Sport. "He's not always the most sentimental. "You maybe have a dream, but you never actually think these things are going to happen. For that dream to be a reality is just amazing." Raut, who should have been stumped by Taylor on 64, was trapped lbw before Sushma Verma was bowled by Hartley without scoring. India needed only 33 from 39 balls with five wickets in hand, but Shrubsole, charging in from the Pavilion End, was irresistible. She removed the dangerous Veda Krishnamurthy, who top-edged a swipe to Sciver, bowled Jhulan Goswami and ran out Shikha Pandey from point. Deepti Sharma spooned to Sciver at mid-wicket as Shrubsole completed the first five-wicket haul in a World Cup final and, after Gunn's error, Shrubsole cleaned up Gayakwad to seal victory in style. Media playback is not supported on this device England opted to make first use of a used wicket, with openers Winfield and Beaumont sharing nine fours in the first 15 overs. However, England managed only the same number in the next 35. India took pace off the ball - leg-spinner Yadav managed to bowl as slowly as 33mph - but Sciver and Taylor manouvered the ball well in a fourth-wicket partnership of 83. When the time came to accelerate, seamer Goswami returned to have Taylor caught down the leg side and both Wilson and Sciver lbw. England were squeezed, but the late impetus of Katherine Brunt, Gunn and Laura Marsh ensured they just about had enough. Media playback is not supported on this device England captain Heather Knight: "I can't stop smiling. I am so proud of this group of girls. We made it hard for ourselves but I couldn't care less. "India were batting brilliantly and put good partnerships together. We knew if we hung in and kept the rate at five or six then we would always be in the game. "We held our nerve. Anya Shrubsole - what a hero." Anya Shrubsole, who took 6-46: "I am lost for words. It is a dream. I never thought it would come true. To be back here as a World Cup winner is amazing. "It is a fitting final of what was a brilliant World Cup. There was a huge amount of pressure. "One of the great things about this team is we never give up. One defeat was never going to put us out of the World Cup but we showed a huge amount of fight and that was epitomised by today." India skipper Mithali Raj: "It wasn't easy for England but credit to them - they kept their nerve. "There was a time when the match was in the balance. We panicked and they came out victorious." Net profit was 7.8 trillion won ($7bn; £4.5bn) in the April to June quarter, a 50% jump from a year ago. It said the launch of new models such as the Galaxy S4 helped boost sales of smartphones during the period. But it warned that the pace of growth of smartphone business, a key driver of its recent success, may slow down. "Entering into a typically strong season for the IT industry, we expect earnings to continue to increase," said Robert Yi, head of investor relations at Samsung. "However, we cannot overlook delayed economic recovery in Europe and risks from increased competition for smartphone and other set products," The success of its smartphone business has seen Samsung displace Nokia as the world's biggest mobile phone maker. Its market share in the sector has risen sharply. According to research firm Strategy Analytics, Samsung accounts for almost 95% of the Android smartphone sector's profits. However, in recent weeks various analysts and brokerages have voiced concern over whether the company can continue to sustain high growth. They have cited increased competition, saturation in key markets and the emergence of low-cost smartphone devices from China as key threats. The fear among many is that Samsung may have to lower the prices of its products - which may hurt its earnings. Analysts say Samsung needs to introduce new and innovative products if it is to maintain its market share and keep charging a premium price. "The big question right now is whether they have got that card up their sleeve," Bryan Ma of research firm IDC told the BBC. "What is the killer product that they have in the pipeline that is going to help sustain this growth," he added. Samsung, the world's biggest TV maker, also reported a big jump in its earnings in its display panel division. The company said the unit's operating surged 46% in the three months to June from the previous quarter to 1.12 trillion won. Earnings were boosted by strong demand for high value-added panels for IT as well as TV panels sized 60-inch and over. The South Korean firm said that it also strengthened its product line-up in the US and China to to help boost its sales in those markets. However, it warned that "uncertainties over Europe's economy and Chinese subsidies for electronics goods could possibly hinder growth" in the coming months. The pair, aged 20 and 21 who have not been named yet, are thought to have made that error and snorted the drug. Sold as a "white powder", the drug has traditionally come from south-east Asia and sold in places like Australia. "It's a really difficult job for someone who's new or naive to opiates to pick [between] heroin and cocaine. "The main risk with white heroin is people who are naive users is that it's a light, white-coloured powder," says Prof John Fitzgerald, of the University of Melbourne. He has studied the illegal drug trade in Australia for many years. "It can be confused with other white and light-coloured powders." He adds: "For people who don't usually use strong psychoactive drugs, the general advice would be that if you're in an unfamiliar place, don't do it." Get help and information about drugs at BBC Advice. He says that even those selling the drug may not always be completely sure what substance they are dealing in. "It's very possible that you get people who are dealing in quantities or purities that they haven't dealt with before and that accidents happen," Prof Fitzgerald. Rob van de Veen, a police spokesman in Amsterdam, says white heroin is "much more expensive" than cocaine, but the dealer "sold it for the same price [as cocaine] several times". "We think he doesn't know what he is selling," he says. He says that in the past different types of heroin ended up in different markets. While white heroin tends to be produced in south-east Asia and sold in the southern hemisphere, brown heroin originates in places like Afghanistan and typically makes its way to Europe. "It's much easier with brown heroin [to tell the difference] because it certainly looks brown and cocaine doesn't come in a brown form," says Prof Fitzgerald. In recent years however, brown heroin has become more prevalent in Australia and according to Prof Fitzgerald, it is difficult to know whether more white heroin will come to Europe. "The drug market is inherently unpredictable," he says. "Whilst there's been a sharp distinction between the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere over decades... I wouldn't be surprised if you start seeing a different mix of the different forms of heroin that are available." Because white heroin tends to be more soluble in water than brown heroin, users tend to inject the drug. Prof Fitzgerald points out that this method of taking drugs, comes with increased risks of certain side effects and problems. "When you inject a drug you increase the risk of hepatitis and HIV transmission," he says. "That is an additional risk to injecting heroin, especially white heroin." According to the drug advice service Talk To Frank, taking heroin can lead to comas and death. Injecting drugs can cause damage to veins and arteries and cause infections. The service also says that people have died of cocaine overdoses and that the drug can cause cardiac problems, including heart attacks. It is also linked to depression and mental health problems. In the UK both cocaine and heroin are a class A drugs, which means possession can result in up to seven years in prison and an unlimited fine. The police have yet to release the names of the two men who died on Tuesday. The Foreign Office says it's providing assistance to family members. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Lights and Father Christmas figures can still be seen on the outside of Kevin Franklin's house in Dunstable. An anonymous letter says the "tacky" display is a "disgrace" and is spoiling the "lovely community". Mr Franklin said he was "upset" by the letter but planned to put up more lights, rather than take them down. Eleven weeks after 12th night, the traditional cut off point for Christmas decorations to be packed away for another year, the Franklins' house is still looking festive. The abusive letter, written by "a very disgruntled citizen" and addressed to "the pikey's (sic) that live at number 80", says the house "looks a state" and "sticks out like a sore thumb". Mr Franklin, who was critical of the letter writer's grammar, said he had a stroke in November and was happy that a friend offered to put up the lights shortly afterwards. He said he did not want to be a burden by asking him to "keep putting them up, taking them down, putting them up again". "They're not coming down," Mr Franklin said. "They're not doing anybody any harm. "I don't switch them on until it comes nearer Christmas, apart from they're now going to go on in April which is autism aware month, because I have a 15-year-old autistic son." Mr Franklin said he would add to the display ahead of next month's switch on. "We're going to make sure the house is covered and really give them something to whine about," he said. "The principle is nobody tells me what to do in my house." Dr Steven Gunn has found a coroner's report into the drowning of a Jane Shaxspere in 1569. The girl, possibly a young cousin of William Shakespeare, had been picking flowers when she fell into a millpond near Stratford upon Avon. Dr Gunn says there are "tantalising" links to Ophelia's drowning in Hamlet. A four-year research project, carried out by Oxford University academics, has been searching through 16th century coroners' reports. These have revealed a treasure trove of information about accidental deaths in Tudor England. But Dr Gunn says they were taken aback to find an account of the death of a girl who might have been a young cousin of her contemporary, William Shakespeare. "It was quite a surprise to find Jane Shaxspere's entry in the coroners' reports - it might just be a coincidence, but the links to Ophelia are certainly tantalising," he said. The coroners' report, originally written in Latin, describes the death of two-and-half-year-old Jane Shaxspere, who drowned picking marigolds in a stream beside a millpond. The translation of the report records the cause, time and place. "By reason of collecting and holding out certain flowers called 'yellow boddles' growing on the bank of a certain small channel at Upton aforesaid called Upton millpond - the same Jane Shaxspere the said sixteenth day of June about the eighth hour after noon of the same day suddenly and by misfortune fell into the same small channel and was drowned in the aforesaid small channel; and then and there she instantly died. "And thus the aforesaid flowers were the cause of the death of the aforesaid Jane." The biographical gaps in William Shakespeare's life make it impossible to know if this was the death of a cousin or other relation when the playwright was a boy living in Stratford upon Avon. But Emma Smith from Oxford's English faculty says that it's likely that William Shakespeare would have known of the story - and that it could have been in his thoughts when writing the flower-strewn drowning of Ophelia in Hamlet. Ophelia's character discussed - BBC Learning Zone Ophelia's madness - BBC Learning Zone "It's interesting to think of Ophelia combining classical and renaissance antecedents with the local tragedy of a drowned girl," said Dr Smith. There are other theories about the inspiration for Ophelia, including the story of Katharine Hamlet, who drowned in the river Avon, not far from Stratford upon Avon, in 1579 - a decade after Jane Shaxspere. The haunting image of the drowned girl, garlanded by flowers, caught the imagination of painters, such as the pre-Raphaelite John Everett Millais. The research project, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, has also uncovered the type of health and safety nightmares that troubled the Tudors. These are often more Monty Python farce than Shakespearean tragedy, says Dr Gunn. The detailed accounts of deaths include hazards such as being run over by a cart. There were also three fatalities involving performing bears. Archery proved to be a particularly dangerous activity for Tudor villagers. There are 56 deaths reported from accidents involving bows and arrows. Dr Gunn says this includes spectators paying a heavy price for falling asleep too near to the targets. The most inept archery death, he says, was a man who managed to shoot himself in the head with an arrow. The first accidental death from a handgun appears in 1519, when a man shooting at a target hit a woman who walked in front of him. There were fatal maypole accidents and a particularly pungent end was faced by a man who fell into a cesspit when relieving himself. More ambiguously, a man died following the crushing of his testicles "during a Christmas game". And a man from Scotland died while demonstrating how he liked to lie down and be tied up, a recreation which he had claimed to be popular in his homeland. There were also workplace accidents, such as coal miners suffocating underground and workers drowning when they were washing themselves in rivers. "Coroners' reports of fatal accidents are a useful and hitherto under-studied way of exploring everyday life in Tudor England," says Dr Gunn. "Some medieval historians have used them, but the Tudor records are much fuller. The enquiries into the deaths were extensive and solemnly undertaken." Spurs trooped off against a backdrop of thousands of empty red seats and the sound of jeers after a 1-0 loss left them trailing behind Monaco and the Bundesliga side in Group E, their hopes of reaching the knockout stage in serious danger. It was not meant to be like this when they moved into Wembley as a temporary Champions League home while work continues to transform White Hart Lane into a new stadium. The evidence of recent results suggests not - a mystery given the magnificent backing their supporters have offered them in these unaccustomed surroundings. Spurs played in front of 85,011 when they lost to Monaco in September, and Wednesday's crowd was 85,512 - the highest English 'home' attendance. Yet this loss was their sixth in succession at Wembley, their second in the Champions League. The last time they won at the national stadium was when Juande Ramos' side beat Chelsea 2-1 in the 2008 League Cup final. And, despite the jeers and empty seats at the end, Spurs cannot point a finger at their fans. They have turned up in record numbers but have been offered nothing in return. Media playback is not supported on this device Spurs looked like a team with a flat battery, unable to get going and missing the spark injured striker Harry Kane might have given them, as well as the reliability of defender Toby Alderweireld. Is it simply unfamiliar surroundings away from the natural comfort of White Hart Lane? Is it Wembley's bigger pitch that makes manager Mauricio Pochettino's trademark intense pressing style more difficult to implement? The Wembley playing surface is 7,245m², compared with the 6,700m² of White Hart Lane - a difference of 545m², more than the area of two tennis courts. In the recent win over Manchester City, Spurs were all over Pep Guardiola's side. But they have failed to impose themselves on either Monaco or Leverkusen. It was only two years ago that Pochettino suggested Spurs would benefit from a bigger pitch, after a surprise home defeat by Newcastle United. The Argentine said then: "Our style means we need a bigger space to play because we play a positional game. It's true that White Hart Lane is a little bit tight and it's better for an opponent when they play deep." The evidence of Wembley does not support his theory. Pochettino made no excuses about the surroundings. He placed the blame closer to home. "We were poor. I have nothing to say about Wembley," he said. After two games at Wembley, both have been poor. It is not an excuse. It is the truth." Wembley's opulent surroundings may offer the potential for bigger crowds and more luxurious fixtures and fittings - but are Spurs missing the natural hostility and claustrophobic atmosphere of White Hart Lane? At their usual home, the steep stands rise from close to the touchline, where supporters can almost reach out and touch the players. They can almost feel the intensity and pace of the game - making it the ideal environment for the style Pochettino demands from his team. Former Republic of Ireland international Andy Townsend, at Wembley as an expert summariser for BBC Radio 5 live, believes the change in surroundings is having an impact. Spurs have done their best to make Wembley feel like home He said: "When you play matches at home against top teams in Europe, your advantage is being in familiar surroundings. You can generate an atmosphere. Here at Wembley it is a different surface, different surroundings. "Tottenham have had only one or two little spells and I think that is the Wembley effect." Spurs have done their best to make Wembley feel like home, with the club's crests all around the stadium. It is dressed up like Tottenham's home. A giant flag hangs from one of the stadium's towering stands. Their supporters used camera-phones to light up the stadium before kick-off, and there was no shortage of noise and encouragement once the action got under way. The problems come when Spurs struggle. Wembley seemed a lonely, unforgiving place as the game went on, almost silent for long periods. Thousands of empty seats also give the stadium a cold feel quicker than it might at White Hart Lane. It was hardly a cauldron as those Spurs fans who stayed until the end attempted to whip up a late rally. As Pochettino rightly stated, however, the responsibility lies with him and his players. It is up to Spurs to create atmosphere and excitement on this bigger, more forbidding stage, and they have failed miserably twice, first against Monaco and now Bayer Leverkusen. If Wembley is a burden to Spurs, what effect is it having on their opponents? The performances of Monaco and Leverkusen suggest it is having more of a galvanising impact on the visitors. Could it be that performing on this famous stage with all its rich history, albeit in a more modern guise, is providing the sort of inspiration for visiting teams that is damaging Spurs' Champions League ambitions? It also seems to be inspiring opposition supporters, with the visiting German fans commandeering a corner of Wembley and providing noisy backing throughout their team's excellent victory. They will be aware of the stadium's place in football's folklore and will treat it as a more special occasion than a trip to White Hart Lane. Monaco looked very much at home in September as they ran out 2-1 winners, establishing a two-goal lead by the 31st minute and surviving in comfort despite Alderweireld pulling a goal back for Spurs right on half-time. Leverkusen followed suit. They looked more at ease from the kick-off, never appearing under stress and seemingly revelling in Wembley's open spaces. Wembley was meant to lift Spurs and put pressure on opponents. The reverse has been true. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has experience of playing Champions League games at Wembley - bitter experience. The Gunners made Wembley their Champions League home for two seasons after being forced to reduce the ticket allocation at Highbury by 6,000 between 1998 and 2000. They failed to get past the group stage either time as they dropped points against Lens, Dynamo Kiev, Fiorentina and Barcelona. Wenger said in January, looking ahead to the likes of Spurs and Chelsea using Wembley while their stadiums are being rebuilt: "It was a nightmare. "In hindsight, it was the wrong decision. We decided to go to Wembley but we didn't feel at home. The pitch was bigger, the ground was different and for the English players it was something completely unusual. "We were used to Highbury, to a tight pitch, and unfortunately we were playing against Dynamo Kiev, who were running everywhere on a very big pitch. It was a disadvantage for sure." Wenger added: "It is less of a disadvantage now because the stadium is a bit different but the pitch is exactly the same." It will be of no consolation to Spurs that the words of Arsenal's manager may have provided the signpost to the sort of problems that are casting a giant shadow over their current Champions League campaign. She took over from Peter Robinson as first minister early in January. Foster ensured her party, the DUP, emerged from the Assembly elections in May as Stormont's biggest party on the back of a highly personal campaign. But in the background a controversy about the mismanagement of a renewable energy scheme she set up in 2012 rumbled away. It finally fully grabbed the public's attention via a BBC Spotlight programme in early December. That, in turn, led to bitter divisions within her party being exposed by a BBC Nolan show investigation. Mrs Foster fought off a demand that she should be excluded from office only because the Stormont rules would have required her own DUP MLAs to back it. When the Fermanagh MLA took over the helm at the DUP the party bosses had good reason to think they had chosen wisely. Peter Robinson's health problems and his need to combat questions about his handling of the controversial £1bn Nama property deal could be consigned to history. Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness set about providing the Stormont Executive with a fresh image to go alongside their "Fresh Start" agreement. They promised to deliver services better for the public and attempted to banish the memory of 2015's crises over welfare reform, IRA activity and DUP ministers engaging in "rolling resignations". Despite some differences - for example over Mrs Foster's reluctance to engage in any commemoration which could be construed as celebrating the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising - the two main parties remained closely in step. When they fought the Assembly election in May, the DUP did play the card of telling the voters to keep Mrs Foster in place as a Unionist first minister. But there were similarities in aspects of the DUP and Sinn Féin manifestoes - both promised the same £1bn increase in health spending. When the results came in, the DUP held on to 38 seats - seen as success given the difficulties of the previous year. The Ulster Unionists had hoped to close the gap on the DUP, but they also ended up with the same number of MLAs as in 2011. Their leader Mike Nesbitt publically admitted the 16 seats they had won didn't match the 18 -19 target figure he had set himself, written in a sealed envelope which he opened live on BBC TV after the results were declared. Sinn Féin did not close the gap on the DUP, but fell back one. Against a backdrop of austerity, they lost out not to the SDLP - which saw its Assembly team shrink by two - but to new kids on the block, People Before Profit, who promised voters a left wing opposition to government cuts. The Greens also gained a seat. The Ulster Unionists pulled out of the Stormont Executive in 2015 in protest over the IRA linked murder of Kevin McGuigan. After the May 2016 election, the UUP decided to stay in opposition taking advantage of new rules introduced by the Fresh Start Agreement, which provided some finance and enhanced speaking rights to an "Official Opposition". The SDLP also declined the ministry it was entitled to, much to the anger of Sinn Féin who accused it of going against the spirit of the Good Friday Agreement. There was a question mark over whether Alliance would stay in the coalition, by holding on to the justice department previously headed by its leader David Ford. The party decided to use its leverage to demand further changes to the Stormont system - most notably the petition of concern, which had been used by the DUP to block the introduction of same sex marriage. However, the DUP and Sinn Féin were not prepared to accede to Alliance's demands. Instead they turned to the independent unionist Claire Sugden, who held on to her East Londonderry seat. She kept reporters in suspense over whether she would take the job - her difficult decision was compounded by a family tragedy, as Ms Sugden's brother-in-law was critically injured in a motorbike accident. But eventually Ms Sugden said yes to the DUP-Sinn Fein offer, adding that she hoped to achieve change on issues like abortion and same-sex marriage in what she called "a subtle way". So was born a new look coalition, dominated by two parties, who seemed determined to make their honeymoon last as long as possible. Alliance joined the others in opposition and in October David Ford decided the time was right to hand over the reins. His deputy Naomi Long had lost her East Belfast seat in the House of Commons in 2015. But freshly elected to Stormont she was the obvious candidate and got the job without any contest. Mrs Long's challenge will be to make Alliance's voice heard even though, unlike the UUP and the SDLP, the party is not entitled to any of the benefits of being part of an "Official Opposition". Moral issues have remained prominent throughout the year. In January, the Alliance MLAs Stewart Dickson and Trevor Lunn tried to change the law on abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormality. They lost out due to opposition from the DUP, TUV and SDLP. Instead an expert working group was set up to look at the sensitive subject. The BBC understands they have recommended a change in the law. However, the Executive has yet to clarify its response. Campaigners for same-sex marriage continued to call for the law to be brought into line with the rest of the UK. They won a victory in the courts, in a battle over a bakery's refusal to provide a cake decorated with a pro-gay marriage slogan. However, it's clear they will find little comfort at the Assembly, with Arlene Foster making it clear she will use the petition of concern to block any attempt to legalise same-sex marriage this side of the next election, which is due in 2021. The two main parties together with Claire Sugden maintained greater discipline than the previous coalition - but one obvious difference between them was the EU referendum in June: The DUP campaigned for leaving the EU, whilst Sinn Féin wanted to remain. Like the pundits, most Stormont politicians probably imagined once the campaign ended the UK would end up staying in the EU. But whilst Northern Ireland voted 56% in favour of staying, the UK as a whole decided by 52% to leave. Given the movement of thousands of people across the border on a daily basis it seems obvious Brexit could have a more immediate practical impact on Northern Ireland than any other part of the UK. Theresa May replaced her namesake Theresa Villiers with a new Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire to handle the sensitive task of resolving the border conundrum. By the end of the year the public became familiar with the government mantra that there would be "no return to the borders of the past", yet there was no detail on how the post-Brexit border would operate. The referendum result left the two main parties at Stormont also having to manage their Brexit differences. Martin McGuinness and Arlene Foster signed a joint letter to Theresa May which appeared to put the DUP very much on the soft end of the Brexit camp. However, maintaining a common position is likely to become more difficult as the consequences unfold in the real world. The Nama property scandal was a big running story in 2015 and it still had a lot of life left in it in 2016 - most notably the revelation in August of behind the scenes contacts between the former finance committee chair Sinn Féin's Daithi McKay and the loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson. Mr Bryson had used a high profile appearance in front of Mr McKay's committee to implicate the former First Minister Peter Robinson in the scandal - something Mr Robinson strenuously denied. After a series of messages between Mr McKay, Mr Bryson and another Sinn Féin member emerged, the North Antrim MLA resigned. He admitted his behaviour had been inappropriate - he has recently resurfaced as a commentator but the police are still investigating the matter. It seemed hard to top Nama for Stormont scandals - but at the end of the year a couple of other stories threatened to do just that. The Executive came under pressure over its Social Investment Fund (SIF), an initiative designed to improve life in disadvantaged areas. Ministers defended giving a grant to a UDA-linked community group in east Belfast, but faced embarrassment when its Chief Executive, Dee Stitt, also a leading UDA member, gave an outspoken interview to the Guardian newspaper proclaiming that his band provided "homeland security" in its neighbourhood. Then in December, a controversy ignited over a Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme (RHI). The saga had been, quite literally, burning away for years - but a Spotlight programme highlighted the scale of the potential loss to the Stormont budget of £400m over 20 years and a BBC Nolan show investigation opened up a massive public crack within the DUP over the handling of the scheme with the former minister Jonathan Bell and the DUP leader Arlene Foster trading blows on our TV screens. As the minister who signed off on the scheme, Mrs Foster ended the year as a firefighter trying to beat down flames only to find them erupting elsewhere. She lost a no confidence vote by 39 votes to 36, but under the Stormont cross-community rules remains in post. The DUP's handling of the matter, however, ended the last vestiges of any honeymoon between Mrs Foster and the Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness. It also weakened the position of the Stormont Speaker Robin Newton, widely viewed as less competent in his handling of the chamber than his predecessors. Despite Sinn Féin calls for her to step aside temporarily, Arlene Foster seems determined to hang on as first minister. However, there must be a question mark about her partner in power Martin McGuinness. He had to pull out of a visit to China in December, due to as yet unspecified health problems. After the Irish election back in February 2016, Sinn Féin emerged as the third biggest party in the Dáil - an influential role given the deal between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil. However, Mr Adams ended the year under renewed pressure over his contacts with the family of murdered prison officer Brian Stack. The Sinn Féin president has survived so many controversies that it is always unwise to write his obituary. But Martin McGuinness has acknowledged that both he and Gerry Adams cannot continue for ever, and it may be that the deputy first minister's health issues hasten the talk of a transition in Sinn Féin's leadership team.

The tour coach, which came off the A83 in Argyll at the Rest and Be Thankful at about 14:10 on Thursday, came to rest on its wheels beside Loch Restil. Of the 52 people on board, 23 were taken to hospital, where 18 remain. Dave Russell, from London, and Wendy Bysouth, from Kent, said they thought the coach was going to hit the water. Ms Bysouth described the scene on the coach, which was owned and operated by Lochs and Glens Holidays, as it began to overturn. She said: "All of a sudden I just felt the coach just move and start to roll and as it was rolling people were going up in the air, the windows were breaking, the curtains were going and we were getting nearer and nearer the loch. "That's all I can remember, thinking, one more roll and we're in the loch, and it was so, so frightening." Mr Russell said it was fortunate the bus did not end up in the loch. "When it flipped over, I was looking at that water. I thought we were going in and there was no way we would have got out if it had gone in," he said. "It hit the embankment and luckily, after that, I managed to get our seatbelts undone. "We got out the window and I dialled 999 and got the emergency services, luckily, because the minute I finished the phone call the connection went." NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said three patients were being treated at the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow. One is in a serious but stable condition and the other two are stable. Six others are being treated at the city's Western Infirmary and nine people in the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley. All are in a stable condition. Following the crash, a rest centre was set up at the Three Villages Hall in nearby Arrochar to support the remaining 29 people on board - 25 of whom were described as walking wounded, It is believed all 29 people spent the night at local hotels. On Thursday, Road Policing Inspector Adam McKenzie said: "A tour bus which was heading through Argyll was struck by a very strong gust of wind which unfortunately blew it on to the muddy verge, causing the bus to flip on its side and roll down the hill coming to a rest at the side of Loch Restil." Police, fire and helicopter rescue crews were sent to the scene around 180 yards (200m) north of the B828 junction and the road was closed while emergency services treated passengers and investigated the cause of the incident. Local diversions were in place at the A819 at Inverary and also at the A82 north of Tarbet. The road has since re-opened and the bus has been removed from the embankment. Ch Insp Fraser Candlish said: "This has clearly been a terrifying experience for all of those involved. "Inquiries are ongoing to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the incident, however early indications would suggest that the high winds may have been a factor." Lochs and Glens Holidays runs a number of coach trips, mainly in the Scottish Highlands, but picks up passengers across the UK. The company's Twitter page said the coach was from the Medway Towns area in Kent. A spokeswoman for the firm said: "We are providing all necessary support for those passengers who were on board and the relatives of those who have been injured. "The driver and the company are co-operating fully with the police investigation to establish the exact cause." The law was passed after a referendum in May, when the Irish state became the first in the world to legalise same-sex civil marriage by popular vote. It is not yet known when and where the first same-sex wedding will be held. But the first people to be affected are same-sex couples who have already wed legally abroad. Their marriages are now automatically recognised by the state. They include Orla Howard and her wife Dr Grainne Courtney, who were married in the United States in May 2013. The couple have been in a relationship for the last 13 years and live in Dublin with their two grown-up daughters. "It's a terrific moment, because our marriage will be the same as any straight couple's marriage from Monday morning," Ms Howard told BBC Northern Ireland. "It will bring all of the rights and protections that marriage brings, from the constitutional point of view, to our family and that's one of the key things for us." Same-sex couples who are seeking to wed for the first time will be able to do so from Monday onwards, but it is not yet known who is in line to make legal history by marrying a person of the same sex in a Republic of Ireland ceremony. The first newlyweds are likely to be couples who had already applied to register a civil partnership over the coming hours or days, but who now have the option to convert this into a marriage application for the same date. Registrars have been contacting couples who fall into this category to find out their preferences. People who are already in a civil partnership in the Republic of Ireland can now also choose get married, but they must give at least five day's notice of their intentions to a civil registration office. Civil partners who do not wish to get married will remain as civil partners, their legal status will not be affected by the new law. However, new applications for civil partnerships are no longer being accepted. The Marriage Act 2015 only applies to civil marriage, and no Irish church or religious organisation that objects to the new law will be forced to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies. The Catholic Church and other Christian organisations had campaigned against the legislation, arguing marriage should only be between a man and woman. Jacqui Thompson from Llanwrda faces a £190,000 bill after a failed libel action against Mark James. He counter-sued for posts made on her blog and received £25,000 in damages. On Friday, the council was granted a charging order which means Ms Thompson can be ordered to sell her home if she cannot pay her debt. Ms Thompson was arrested in June 2011 after refusing to stop filming a council meeting for her blog, in which she was critical of the council. She sued Mr James the following November, but he successfully counter-sued for posts made on her blog and received damages. The High Court found Ms Thompson had run a campaign of "harassment, defamation and intimidation" against Mr James. Carmarthenshire council covered Mr James' legal costs, a decision the Wales Audit Office found to be unlawful. Speaking outside court, Ms Thompson said: "They could enforce the charging order at any time. They could do it tomorrow, they do it in 10 years' time." The Leicester rockers are opening the Baftas at the Royal Opera House next month instead of playing at the Brits at London's O2. The 34-year-old guitarist said: "It's a conspiracy. They're trying to shut rock'n'roll out. "What sort of message does that send to working class rock'n'roll bands which the industry is in dire need of?" The band, who won the award for best British group in 2010, didn't get any Brit nominations when they were announced earlier this month. That's despite them being nominated in eight categories for the NME Awards after the release of their fifth studio album 48:13, which topped the Official Albums Chart, and a headline slot at Glastonbury. Pizzorno called the Brits "awful from start to finish" in 2013 while Kasabian singer Tom Meighan described that year's ceremony as "terrible". Talking to the Independent, the guitarist said they had their best year ever in 2014. "Kasabian couldn't have done any more last year. "It's way more exciting to be playing the Baftas than the Brits. "It's a huge honour to open the Baftas because we're all such great film fans. "It'll be a strange old show playing in front of a load of penguins, but it's going to be great. "We're going to start the night off with a huge explosion. We're going to play everything twice as loud. "Half the people there won't have a clue what is going on." Alt-J, Clean Bandit, Coldplay, One Direction and Royal Blood are up for best group at this year's Brits while the album of the year prize will be fought out between Alt-J, Ed Sheeran, George Ezra, Royal Blood and Sam Smith. The live act category was dropped after 2013's ceremony. We've asked the organisers of the Brits for a response to Sergio Pizzorno's comments.

Mr Scaramucci added that Mr Trump would seek to make changes to previous banking reforms, removing the most "anti-business" parts of the Dodd-Frank reforms passed after the 2008 financial crisis. 48% Hillary Clinton 44% Donald Trump Please enable Javascript to view our poll of polls chart. Last updated November 8, 2016 The BBC poll of polls 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. The European Commission also described its plan to overhaul copyright laws, which it said would make it easier to legally buy and use content. Supporters said the proposals were an opportunity for creative industries. But some industry bodies attacked them, saying they lacked detail and would cause harm. Under the first set of proposals, which will need to be approved by the European Parliament before they can be implemented, online subscriptions to services would become portable within the EU. "People who legally buy content - films, books, football matches, TV series - must be able to carry it with them anywhere they go in Europe," said Andrus Ansip, the commission's vice-president for the digital single market. The commission said that allowing cross-border portability would mean "enabling consumers to use their home online subscription while they stay temporarily abroad". It said it expected the regulations to be approved next year and implemented in 2017, "the same year as the end of roaming charges in the EU". The commission also announced plans - to be turned into more concrete legislative proposals within the next six months - to allow providers to sell content across the EU under a single set of copyright rules, rather than having to draw up various contracts to adhere to national laws. It later clarified that the BBC's iPlayer would be exempt from the rules because it does not verify a user's country of residence. "This said, the BBC has announced that it is willing to allow its users to access the iPlayer when they are outside the UK for a limited period," said Nathalie Vandystadt, the European Commission's spokeswoman for the digital single market. She added that the rules were not aimed at covering all online content services "as it might be too burdensome and expensive for some services to adopt the necessary verification system. For free of charge services, the choice remains open: if they decide to start using verification methods, they can benefit from the rules". The commission said: "Overall, the commission wants to make sure that Europeans can access a wide legal offer of content, while ensuring that authors and other rights holders are better protected and fairly remunerated. "The key sectors of education, culture, research and innovation will also benefit from a more modern and European framework." Mr Ansip said: "When you download a movie or a song, it must play. "If this is not the case, you should be able to end the contract and get your money back." He added the proposals would provide a "common set of EU rules instead of a patchwork of national laws". Alliance for Intellectual Property chairman Richard Mollet called the portable subscription proposals a "huge opportunity for the UK's creative industries, which are globally successful and are enjoyed by hundreds of millions of European consumers every day". And he said the copyright plans must "enhance the opportunities for creators to sell their content across Europe and help them protect it". "Alliance members are already working to deliver even better access to content, but we also must ensure that the value of creativity is not reduced, as well as maintaining strong incentives to invest," he added. But John McVay, the chief executive of Pact, the trade association for the UK's independent media companies, said the commission's portability proposal "falls far short of that goal due to inadequate safeguards to prevent abuse and a lack of clarity in key concepts like the meaning of 'temporary'". He said: "It is critical that portability is conditional on robust and effective authentication of consumers' country of residence. "We urge the EU institutions to address these issues as a matter of urgency. "The commission's proposals to mandate cross-border access to digital content remain a significant concern for producers, distributors and broadcasters of film and TV content in the UK and across the EU." A BBC representative said: "We are interested in being able to allow UK licence-fee payers to access BBC iPlayer while they are on holiday in the EU, and welcome the European Commission proposing regulation to help make this possible. "There are complex technical issues to resolve and aspects of the commission's proposal need clarification. "Being able to offer BBC iPlayer also depends on the UK government implementing legislation to modernise the licence fee to include video on demand as well as linear viewing, something the government has committed to do next year. "That will mean users of BBC iPlayer could be verified as UK licence-fee payers while they are on holiday in the EU." A Netflix representative said: "We are committed to providing Netflix members with great programming wherever they are and are studying the EU's proposal." A Sky representative said: "We will need to consider the plans in detail, but we welcome anything that helps customers get even more value from their subscriptions. "We look forward to working with the commission to ensure that the proposals are part of a robust framework that supports investment in European content."

Lowe, 22, helped maintain Portsmouth's League Two promotion push with his first goal for the club in a 3-1 win against Yeovil on Saturday. In January, he joined from Hampton & Richmond in National League South. "Last May, I got promoted from the Ryman Premier League, this May it could going up to League One," he said. "It's a completely different experience, but a good feeling," the England C international told BBC Radio Solent. "It's been a big weight off my shoulders to get my first goal and hopefully now the gates will open for more and more." Third-placed Portsmouth need just eight more points from their remaining five games to secure automatic promotion from League Two. Results elsewhere could even see them clinch it over the Easter weekend as Paul Cook's side host second-placed Plymouth on Friday before a trip to Notts County on Monday. "We're in a great position," Lowe said. "It's a nice feeling when you get three points and see someone else slip up, but we're just focusing on ourselves."

Jamal Lowe's football career has a come a long way in the space of the past six months, but he admits a second promotion in a year would be special.

The Proteas were bowled out for 250 before Australia chased 127 on the fourth evening of the day-night Test. David Warner made 47, Steve Smith 40 and Matt Renshaw, the England-born opener, 34 not out off 137 balls. Earlier, Stephen Cook converted his overnight 81 into 104 for South Africa as Mitchell Starc took 4-80. Victory ended Australia's run of five successive Test defeats, and was their first in any form of cricket since beating Ireland in a one-day international in September. South Africa's series triumph was their third in a row in Australia. The match ended a fractious tour during which South Africa captain Faf du Plessis was fined for ball-tampering, and a member of their security staff jostled with an Australian journalist at the airport. Australia play the first of three one-day internationals against New Zealand on 4 December before hosting Pakistan in a three-Test series from 15 December. South Africa's next assignment is the visit of Sri Lanka, with a three-Test series starting on 26 December.

Australia avoided a first Test series whitewash at home with a consolation seven-wicket victory in Adelaide as South Africa won the series 2-1.

Aircraft will not be permitted within 1.5 miles (2.4km) of Anmer Hall - home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The Department for Transport said it was required "in view of the need for security for the Royal Family". The rules will apply to Anmer Hall from 1 November. Similar regulations come into force for Sandringham House from 1 December to 1 March each year. The three-month restriction covers the Christmas period, when the Queen and other members of the Royal Family are in residence. Regulations issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) state no aircraft is to fly below 2,000ft (610m) within the restricted airspace. It does not apply to emergency services aircraft, including Prince William's employer, the East Anglian Air Ambulance, and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. The Queen's helicopter and any aircraft flown by a member of the Royal family are also exempt, as are aircraft flown by guests of Sandringham House or Anmer Hall, who have permission to land there. It is not known whether any incident prompted the restriction. When asked, a royal communications secretary said it was in relation to "matters of security". In May, the media was warned in a letter from Norfolk Police not to harass the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after "a number of intrusions" following the birth of Princess Charlotte. At the time, Kensington Palace said public interest had to be balanced with the couple's right to a "private family life". The letter expressed the hope that "acts of harassment and breaches of privacy" would cease. Anmer Hall, a Georgian mansion, is about two miles (3km) east of Sandringham House.

Flying over the Royal Sandringham estate in Norfolk is to be restricted at the request of security services.

Second-quarter operating profit jumped 18% to 8.1tn Korean won ($7.17bn; £5.46bn), in line with the company's guidance issued in July. Operating profit at its mobile division soared 57% year-on-year to 4.3tn won. That is mainly driven by strong sales of its Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge smartphone models. Samsung predicts continued increase in demand for its smartphones and tablets in the second half of the year. But the company also indicated that "market competition is expected to strengthen as other companies release new mobile devices". Samsung is confident that the release of a new large-screen flagship smartphone in the third quarter will help maintain the track record of its smartphone sales. Samsung's results are in contrast to rival Apple. Earlier this week, the US company reported a 15% drop in iPhone sales for the April-to-June quarter. And it also said it expected sales to fall again in the current quarter. As for other divisions in the Samsung conglomerate, the company is forecasting a decline in TV demand for the second half of the year, citing "weakened demand in Europe and a prolonged economic slowdown in emerging markets". The South Korean corporate giant also reported earnings growth in its consumer electronics division, which sells refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioning units.

Strong smartphone sales have helped Samsung Electronics post its best quarterly results in more than two years.

It was a stunning result for a party which had seen two previous administrations overthrown by a coup and a controversial court decision, and whose supporters had just the year before been involved in an occupation of Bangkok, which ended in bloodshed. An essential part of Ms Yingluck's winning manifesto was a generous promise to rice farmers. That is at the heart of the legal case against her. Under the new scheme the government was supposed to buy the entire rice crop, and pay 15,000 baht (£350; $450) per tonne, well above the 11,000 baht guaranteed by the previous government. It was wildly popular with farmers. But economists and agricultural experts immediately questioned its viability. The price of 15,000 baht was significantly higher than the global rice price, and Thailand exports more of its crop than any other country - it was the world's number one rice exporter at the time. Its principal rivals India and Vietnam, it was predicted, would simply increase their exports at Thailand's expense, offering a price much lower than the Thai government could, unless it was willing to incur huge losses. And there were many warnings that the scheme was vulnerable to corruption. Six years later Ms Yingluck faces a possible 10-year prison sentence on charges of malfeasance, or dereliction of duty, over the rice scheme. She has not been charged with corruption, but with failing to prevent it, in her capacity as prime minister and as chair of the National Rice Policy Committee. If convicted she could be permanently banned from politics - she has already been banned for five years after being impeached in 2015. Unsurprisingly Ms Yingluck and her party have cried foul. After all her government was overthrown, in 2014, by the same army officers who now run Thailand. They justified their coup by the need to restore order, but had conspicuously failed to offer her support as she faced sustained protests in Bangkok, which had crippled her administration. The military is not seen as impartial, and it wields authoritarian powers, even extending to judicial cases. The rice scheme was inordinately expensive and wasteful. The exact cost, of rice that rotted in storage, that was stolen or improperly sold, is still disputed. But the government estimates it cost the state at least $8bn - some estimates go as high as $20bn, although these include the overall cost of the subsidy, not just losses through corruption and mismanagement. The scheme did raise farmers' living standards, but was almost certainly unsustainable. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence of corruption, although few cases have yet gone to court. The best-known case, in which a former commerce minister and 27 other defendants are accused of an allegedly fraudulent government-to-government deal to sell rice to China, will conclude on the same day Ms Yingluck hears her verdict. Ms Yingluck argued in court that she was not responsible for day-to-day running of the scheme, and that as a key policy platform when she was elected she could not order it to be cancelled. She pointed to what she believes are multiple procedural flaws in the case. Whatever the merits of the case against her, few observers doubt that the military government wants to see Thaksin Shinawatra's political movement weakened before it allows the restoration of some kind of democracy. Ms Yingluck is very popular, and an effective vote-winner. With Mr Thaksin entering his 10th year of exile, his party is struggling to find a replacement leader. But her fate presents Thailand's current rulers with some dilemmas. If she is acquitted Mr Thaksin, who is protective of his younger sister, might be emboldened to push for a greater share of power in a post-election Thailand than the military is willing to accept. An acquittal would outrage hard-line conservatives, and those who led the protests against the Yingluck government. If she is sent to prison, hard-line opponents of the Shinawatra clan would be satisfied, and she would be completely removed from politics. Convicting her would also help the generals to justify their coup, as part of a fight against corruption. But it risks making the telegenic Ms Yingluck into a symbol of resistance for the so-called red-shirt mass movement that supports her. Red-shirt leaders acknowledge that mobilising large-scale protests against a conviction would be difficult under a military government. They have ruled out any repeat of the occupation of central Bangkok that ended so badly seven years ago. But they say they would view a conviction as the first shot in a re-ignited conflict with the military, as an end to any pretence of reconciliation. And they do not rule out localised demonstrations of anger by Ms Yingluck's supporters. This worries the government, because it wants calm in the run-up to the elaborate cremation of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej in October. It will also need to be mindful of the wishes of King Vajiralongkorn, who is expected to hold a coronation ceremony not long after the cremation. A possible compromise might be a suspended prison sentence for Ms Yingluck. This is possible if she receives less than five years. Even if she is given a custodial sentence, government legal experts say she can appeal. But that would depend on her. She might choose not to. Behind all of this lies the jostling for a new balance of power once the generals allow an election to take place. In that election, polls suggest Pheu Thai will be the largest party, as it has been in every election since 2001, although the new electoral system will almost certainly ensure it does not win a majority of seats in the lower house of parliament. But the political parties will have to contend with a 250-seat senate entirely appointed by the military, and with a military-drafted reform blueprint for the next 20 years, which all governments are legally required to honour. In this environment no-one is sure who is in line to be the next prime minister. In the past in Thailand, elected governments were able to concentrate a lot of power and patronage in their hands. That will no longer be the case. Some in Pheu Thai believe it might actually be better for the party to have a spell in opposition - that the first elected government will be so constrained by the courts and the generals it is not a prize worth having. The military itself is factionalised, and it is not clear that the current ruling clique will remain dominant. Another important unknown is what King Vajiralongkorn wants. The intimidating shadow of the lese majeste law makes any discussion of his role impossible in Thailand, but he has already made it clear that he wishes to be consulted on important decisions, and that he is willing to exercise his influence in ways that his father did not. He may prove to be one of the most important factors in reshaping Thailand's future.

Six years ago Yingluck Shinawatra, a novice who had only been in politics for two months, led the Pheu Thai party, founded and funded by her older brother Thaksin, to a resounding election victory.

Many bookshops remained open all night to cope with demand. Several hundred snapped up copies at midnight at Foyles bookstore in London. The book is set 20 years after the events of Lee's 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird. "We had a buzzy evening with the queue starting to form at 10pm," said marketing manager Simon Heafield. "If this evening is anything to go by, Go Set a Watchman will live up to its billing as the publishing event of the year." In Harper Lee's hometown, Monroeville in Alabama, a delivery of 7,000 copies of Go Set a Watchman arrived at the small independent Ol' Curiosities and Book Shoppe shortly before midnight. "I've had people calling from as far away as from England looking for the book early," shop keeper Spencer Madrie told Reuters news agency. There were cheers when the shop's doors opened. Watchman contains some of the same characters as Mockingbird, including Scout and her father Atticus Finch. It has already proved controversial as early reviewers noted that Atticus expresses racist views in the story. The story opens with Scout, now 26 and known as Jean Louise, returning on a train to her Alabama hometown from New York. Tracy Chevalier, author of the bestselling novel Girl With a Pearl Earring, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Watchman was a "roller coaster" of a read. "It's making literary history to have a book that has a different take on characters that we've all grown to love," she said. "I tried to read it simply on its own... There's some great storytelling in it." 2 million initial US print run 70 countries released simultaneously 550 copies ordered by New York Public Library 7 translations available on day of publication 3 days wait for German translation 50% discount on RRP in many shops Publicity-shy author Lee, who is now 89 and lives in a nursing home in Monroeville, originally wrote the book in 1957, before reworking it with her editor to become courtroom drama To Kill a Mockingbird. The story of racism and injustice in the fictional town of Maycomb in the American South went on to sell 40 million copies and be studied in schools around the world. Mockingbird was also made into an Oscar-winning film starring Gregory Peck as lawyer Finch, who defends an innocent black man accused of raping a white woman. The existence of Go Set a Watchman was revealed in February and it is being released in 70 countries simultaneously. The opening chapter of the novel was published for the first time on Friday, and many early reviews revealed that in later years Finch had in fact become "a bigot". "This story is of the toppling of idols," wrote Sam Sacks in the Wall Street Journal, adding that it was "a distressing book, one that delivers a startling rebuttal to the shining idealism of To Kill a Mockingbird". Sacks said: "For the millions who hold that novel dear, Go Set a Watchman will be a test of their tolerance and capacity for forgiveness." The New York Times said the revelation could "reshape Ms Lee's legacy" and made for "disturbing reading". Writing for The Guardian, Mark Lawson said: "If the text now published had been the one released in 1960, it would almost certainly not have achieved the same greatness. "This is not so much due to literary inferiority, but because Go Set a Watchman is a much less likeable and school-teachable book." Lawson added that it was "in most respects, a new work, and a pleasure, revelation and genuine literary event... This publication intensifies the regret that Harper Lee published so little." 5,000 copies in initial print run $20,000 value of a signed first-edition copy Over 40m global sales 40 languages into which it has been translated 8 Oscar nominations for 1962 film version 3 Oscar wins However, The Telegraph gave Go Set a Watchman a two-star review, with Gaby Wood writing "Harper Lee's editor deserves a Pulitzer for turning this ghostly first draft into the masterful To Kill a Mockingbird". She added: "It feels like a sequel. But really, it's more like a ghost: The spectre of Lee's restless, ardent thoughts in progress." The Independent's Arifa Akbar said: "We will never be able to read Mockingbird in the same way again, and never see Atticus in the same light again. "Despite the boldness and bravery of its politics, Go Set a Watchman is a very rough diamond in literary terms." She added: "Whatever its failings [it] can't be dismissed as literary scraps from Lee's' imagination. It has too much integrity for that."

The much-anticipated new novel by Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman, has gone on sale around the world.

They seized the man, in his mid-20s, shortly after the attack in Kulcs, 60km (37 miles) south of the capital, in which three people were also wounded. He allegedly killed his father, brother and grandparents following a row. His mother, sister and another person were reportedly badly injured and are now being treated in hospital. Anti-terror police, a rescue helicopter and three ambulances were dispatched to the village in Fejer county. The man detained was named by police as Jutast Csanad Horvath. His age was given as either 23 or 24. "There were several wounds on the bodies of the victims caused by a thrusting and cutting tool," police spokesman Laszlo Garamvolgyi was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency. "The man probably used a large machete in the attack." Initial reports spoke of a "sword" attack. Reports that the attacker had seized hostages were denied by police, according to Hungarian news website Delmagyar. Developed from Finance Wales, it will have a target of providing £80m a year within five years and creating 5,500 jobs annually. EU and Welsh Government funding will kick-start the bank, aimed at micro, small start-ups and innovative firms. The Wrexham-based bank's running costs will be self-sustaining from next year. The Development Bank of Wales will work closely with Business Wales, the Welsh Government's business support service. Economy Secretary Ken Skates said: "The development bank will be the first of its kind in the UK, addressing current market failures within business finance and providing focused support for micro, small start-ups and innovative businesses across Wales enabling them to become fitter, bigger and stronger." A further £35m of European funding will be added to the £136m Wales Business Fund that was announced last year. More money is expected to support the bank's work later this year. CASE STUDY: GIVING BUSINESS A LIFT Owen Edwards runs The Studio in Cardiff, a personal training centre with fitness classes. He is adamant it is very different from usual gyms. He had been a personal trainer in London and wanted to return home. He launched the business six months ago with £20,000 of his own money, more from his father and £150,000 from Finance Wales. Mr Edwards pays 10% interest on that loan. The stylish interior design and equipment is leased and his business plan aims to break even in six months, after a year's trading. He said he could not have done it without Finance Wales as high street banks would not back him. He said they took a detailed look and continue to check on his progress monthly. "As a start-up, no-one traditionally looks at or gives you the time of day," said Mr Edwards. "There's a risk involved. Finance Wales seemed to get the idea and really bought into it and understood the unique nature of the business." FINANCE WALES - A SHORT HISTORY 2001: Finance Wales was set up with £45m to help smaller firms, with funding from the EU and Barclays. But it has been heavily criticised in recent years. 2013: Enterprise expert Prof Dylan Jones Evans's study, the Access to Finance Review, for the Welsh Government, looked at ways of making it easier for small companies to get funding. His conclusion was that Finance Wales was not doing its job properly 2015: Prof Jones Evans called for a development bank to be set up. That was backed in the May by a motion in the National Assembly saying that Finance Wales did not meet the needs of many small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and that access to finance was still a problem. 2016: In April, Giles Thorley took over as chief executive of Finance Wales. He had nine years with Punch Taverns. The development bank was announced by Economy Secretary Ken Skates in December, who had also unveiled plans for a fund to help SMEs. 2017: According to its latest figures, Finance Wales created more than 1,100 jobs in 2015-16 and invested more than £56m in businesses. The 90-year-old previously won an Oscar for Lawrence of Arabia in 1963. She was hailed as "a trailblazer" by Nicole Kidman at the Governors Awards, the Academy's dedicated ceremony for honorary awards. Her career has spanned the 1952 adaptation of Charles Dickens' The Pickwick Papers and last year's Fifty Shades of Grey. Accepting the award, Coates said: "Can you imagine a job where you're actually paid to look into the eyes of George Clooney, Peter O'Toole, Richard Burton, Peter Finch, Sean Connery, Albert Finney, Clint Eastwood, Richard Gere, Daniel Craig, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Fifty Shades Of Grey himself Jamie Dornan?" Stars paid tribute to Coates at the ceremony, including Richard Gere, who appeared in the 2002 film Unfaithful, which she edited. He hailed her as "one of the great giants of our industry" and "the greatest of the great, great, great film editors". Australian star Kidman said: "Anne V. Coates is not a great female editor, she is a great, great editor. She's not trailblazer for women, she's a trailblazer for all of us. "Anne has left her mark on some of the greatest films of all time." Born in Reigate in Surrey in 1925, Coates has continued to work up until last year, when she edited the film adaptation of EL James's racy international bestseller, Fifty Shades of Grey. She told the LA Times last week that she had tried to make the film more raunchy. "They were worried they wouldn't get the R rating. I would have had her trussed up like a suitcase and hoisted to the ceiling," she said. Also honoured at the ceremony on Saturday night were the documentary film maker Frederick Wiseman, casting director Lynn Stalmaster and the martial arts star Jackie Chan. Chan made his film debut at the age of eight, before starring in more than 30 films in Hong Kong. He achieved worldwide fame after Rumble in the Bronx in 1995, going on to star in Hollywood films including the Rush Hour trilogy, Shanghai Noon and The Karate Kid in 2010. "It's a dream," Chan said on stage. "Friends, fans around the world, because of you I have a reason to continue making movies, jumping out windows, kicking and punching and breaking my bones." The Governors Awards, which were attended by stars such as Sylvester Stallone, Don Cheadle and Helen Mirren, were launched in 2009 to provide more time to celebrate honorary awards than the televised Oscar ceremony in February allows. They are intended to recognise lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to cinema and outstanding service to the Academy. For so long a poor relation in terms of finances, attendances and prestige compared to the English Premiership or France's Top 14, it would appear change is again coming to the competition. The how, the why and even the where is very much up for discussion, but it seems likely that the Pro12 will not continue in its current guise beyond 2017-18. So what next for the premier domestic rugby competition for teams from Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Italy? Will a league once designed for the Celtic nations soon be a competition throughout Europe? Will it be a worldwide league? Do not count it out. Originally designed as a Celtic competition, the event formerly known as the Celtic League is already very different to the one that was launched in 2001. The establishment of the competition led to five professional regions being created in Wales for the 2003 season, with Newport Gwent Dragons, Cardiff Blues, Llanelli Scarlets and Neath-Swansea Ospreys joined by the now defunct Celtic Warriors, competing with Irish regions Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster. Scottish sides Edinburgh Reivers, Glasgow and Scottish Borders, completed the line-up. Unfortunately, the launch of the Welsh regions coincided with both the 2003 World Cup and then the 2004 Six Nations, meaning many top players missed much of the season. That, arguably, is an issue the Pro12 has never fully been able to address, but it did not help matters that season, though it was not half as big a blow as when the Celtic Warriors went into liquidation 12 months later after just a single season in operation. At the end of the 2007-8 season, 11 became 10 when Scottish Borders were disbanded and Glasgow moved into their Firhill home. The division badly needed reinvigoration and that arrived with yet more change, with the tournament revamped and expanded in 2010 to include Italian sides Treviso and Aironi. Aironi lasted two seasons before they left the set-up, replaced by Zebre who have completed the 12-team tournament since 2012. However, the 2017-18 season seems likely to be the last Pro12 season under the current guise. Plans to expand and revamp the Pro12 seem to present themselves almost on a daily basis now, with sides from around the world being linked with the competition, while rumours persist about the prospect of the Italian sides being removed. Dual-code legend Jonathan Davies has been among the critics who believe the Pro12 could benefit by kicking out the Italian sides. There have been suggestions of a side from Georgia being added to the set-up, while the German Rugby Federation is also understood to have held talks with Pro12 chiefs. BBC Scotland reported earlier this month that South African side the Cheetahs have been invited to join the competition, while Pro12 Chief Executive Officer Martin Anayi has already confirmed discussions that could see north American involvement. Houston and Vancouver have previously been earmarked as possible host cities. The southern hemisphere Super Rugby tournament is to be reduced from 18 to 15 teams from next year, with South Africa losing two sides and Australia one, which is why South African teams are also being linked with a switch to the Pro12. SA Rugby is yet to announce which two teams will be ditched. Previously, London Welsh and London Scottish were also suggested as potential Pro12 additions. Any additional sides joining the division could also lead to a revamped system, whereby the Pro12 switches to a conference system. That could enable more matches being played outside Test windows, meaning more star players being available. Anayi says that while following an English or French model is unrealistic, the competition will continue to seek more lucrative markets. He says club rugby globally is on an upward curve, and feels the Pro12 is well placed to capitalise on this growth. "We aren't going to be able to rely on one big domestic TV deal, because we purely don't have the same chimney stacks as in England and France," Anayi told BBC Sport in 2016. "So we have to look at new primary markets, make sure we deliver full attendances and do the things we can do to make a change. "We don't see investment as the be-all and end-all of rugby generally. The market forces do not allow for the kind of spend they are spending (in England and France)." However, the immediate focus will be on increasing the spotlight on a league that produced more players - 107 - at the last World Cup than any other rugby competition. It is what Anayi calls the competition's greatest strength being turned into its greatest weakness. "We have more international players than any other competition, but we play games in international windows," he said. "It's self-defeating." In terms of next season, a tweak to the scheduling might have to suffice, but it is increasingly clear that the Pro12 is unlikely to continue in its current format in the longer term. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev called the ban, levelled over allegations of doping, a "cynical decision". On Tuesday the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) upheld the International Paralympic Committee's (IPC) decision to ban all Russian competitors. The IPC made the decision after the McLaren report detailed a Russian state-sponsored doping programme. "Banning our Paralympic athletes from Rio 2016 is a cynical decision motivated by a desire to remove strong rivals," Mr Medvedev said. Andrei Strokin, the Secretary General of the Russian Paralympic Committee, said that the mood of the athletes was low, "because often for a disabled person it is the only chance of self-realisation and achieving something in life". Roman Petushkov, a six-time Russian Paralympic champion, called the decision "inhumane" and a "humiliation". Long-jumper Vadim Alyoshkin said athletes were "pawns in a big game we have nothing to do with". But Karen Pickering, a four-time British Olympic athlete and four-time world champion, praised the decision. "There is a real appetite right now amongst athletes that we don't want any former drug cheats in the Olympic Games," she said. Craig Spence from the IPC said the body had "great sympathy" with the Russian athletes but said the decision was prompted by evidence of a state-sponsored doping system. The Russian Paralympic Committee did not file any evidence contradicting the facts put forward by the IPC. The IPC's decision is in contrast to that of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which chose not to hand Russia a blanket ban from the Olympic Games. The IOC was widely criticised for ignoring the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) recommendation to ban Russia. Instead, each individual sporting federation was given the power to decide if Russian competitors were allowed to compete. A three-person IOC panel then had the final say. In the end, more than 270 Russian athletes were cleared to compete at the Olympics, with Russia winning 56 medals in total and finishing in fourth place in the medal table. Russia had been set to take 267 competitors across 18 sports to the Paralympics. The Cas statement added that it had not looked at the "natural justice rights or personality rights" of individual Russian athletes in making its decision. Russia's Paralympic team's lawyer, Alexei Karpenko, said they would try to file an appeal with the Swiss Federal Supreme Court, but it would take between one and two years for the court to consider the case. "So I'm afraid Russian Paralympians will not be going to the Games in any case," Mr Karpenko added. IPC president Sir Philip Craven, who has described Russia's anti-doping system as "broken, corrupted and entirely compromised", and claimed it put "medals over morals", said he was "greatly encouraged" by the Cas decision. He said it was "not a day for celebration", adding: "We have enormous sympathy for the Russian athletes who will now miss out." "It is a sad day for the Paralympic movement," said Craven. "But we hope also a new beginning. We hope this decision acts as a catalyst for change in Russia and we can welcome the Russian Paralympic Committee back as a member safe in the knowledge that it is fulfilling its obligations to ensure fair competition for all." Richard McLaren, a Canadian law professor, published a Wada independent report that found Russia's sports ministry manipulated urine samples provided by its athletes between 2011 and 2015. The report identified 27 samples relating to eight Para-sports, five of which are summer sports, including some governed by the IPC. The IPC also found evidence that samples were swapped during the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games, adding that it planned to reanalyse every Russian sample given at the event. The Paralympics are going ahead as planned, but face major budget cuts as Rio's organising committee has not raised enough to fund the event because of Brazil's struggling economy and poor ticket sales. Cuts will affect venues, workforce and transport. Delayed travel grants will now be paid to athletes, but 10 countries may struggle to get teams to Rio. The 21-year-old man suffered facial injuries after the incident outside a bar on Clifton Road at about 23:15 on Boxing Day. Police Scotland said it was "utterly unprovoked, random and brutal". Officers want to speak to a man described as stocky, bald, with a light beard and possibly a facial piercing. He was wearing dark blue jeans with a yellow/green top, and was with three other men.

The 74-year-old is suffering from primary progressive aphasia, which affects his ability to communicate. As a result, Jones "is no longer able to give interviews", his spokesman said. The news was confirmed as Bafta Cymru announced the Welsh-born comedian is to be honoured with an outstanding contribution award. The National Aphasia Association describes primary progressive aphasia as a neurological syndrome in which language capabilities become slowly and progressively impaired. "It commonly begins as a subtle disorder of language, progressing to a nearly total inability to speak, in its most severe stage," their website states. Jones, who is from Colwyn Bay in north Wales, was a member of the legendary comedy troupe with Terry Gilliam, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin and the late Graham Chapman. He directed Monty Python's Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life and co-directed Monty Python and the Holy Grail with Gilliam. The surviving members reunited for 10 reunion performances at the O2 Arena in London in 2014. Kathryn Smith, director of operations at Alzheimer's Society, said: "We are deeply sorry to hear about Terry Jones's diagnosis of dementia and are thinking of Terry and his family during this time." His award was announced at the Bafta Cymru nominations party, ahead of the British Academy Cymru Awards on 2 October. "Terry is proud and honoured to be recognised in this way and is looking forward to the celebrations," his spokesman said. Hannah Raybould, director of Bafta Cymru, said: "We are very much looking forward to celebrating the work of Terry Jones during the ceremony with a look back at his work from 1969 to the present day."

It will be shared by Google, Nasa, and other scientists, providing access to a machine said to be up to 3,600 times faster than conventional computers. Unlike standard machines, the D-Wave Two processor appears to make use of an effect called quantum tunnelling. This allows it to reach solutions to certain types of mathematical problems in fractions of a second. Is quantum computing possible? Effectively, it can try all possible solutions at the same time and then select the best. Google wants to use the facility at Nasa's Ames Research Center in California to find out how quantum computing might advance techniques of machine learning and artificial intelligence, including voice recognition. University researchers will also get 20% of the time on the machine via the Universities Space Research Agency (USRA). Nasa will likely use the commercially available machine for scheduling problems and planning. Canadian company D-Wave Systems, which makes the machine, has drawn scepticism over the years from quantum computing experts around the world. Until research outlined earlier this year, some even suggested its machines showed no evidence of using specifically quantum effects. Quantum computing is based around exploiting the strange behaviour of matter at quantum scales. Most work on this type of computing has focused on building quantum logic gates similar to the gate devices at the basis of conventional computing. But physicists have repeatedly found that the problem with a gate-based approach is keeping the quantum bits, or qubits (the basic units of quantum information), in their quantum state. "You get drop out… decoherence, where the qubits lapse into being simple 1s and 0s instead of the entangled quantum states you need. Errors creep in," says Prof Alan Woodward of Surrey University. Instead, D-Wave Systems has been focused on building machines that exploit a technique called quantum annealing - a way of distilling the optimal mathematical solutions from all the possibilities. Annealing is made possible by an effect in physics known as quantum tunnelling, which can endow each qubit with an awareness of every other one. "The gate model... is the single worst thing that ever happened to quantum computing", Geordie Rose, chief technology officer for D-Wave, told BBC Radio 4's Material World programme. "And when we look back 20 years from now, at the history of this field, we'll wonder why anyone ever thought that was a good idea." Dr Rose's approach entails a completely different way of posing your question, and it only works for certain questions. But according to a paper presented this week (the result of benchmarking tests required by Nasa and Google), it is very fast indeed at finding the optimal solution to a problem that potentially has many different combinations of answers. In one case it took less than half a second to do something that took conventional software 30 minutes. A classic example of one of these "combinatorial optimisation" problems is that of the travelling sales rep, who needs to visit several cities in one day, and wants to know the shortest path that connects them all together in order to minimise their mileage. The D-Wave Two chip can compare all the possible itineraries at once, rather than having to work through each in turn. Reportedly costing up to $15m, housed in a garden shed-sized box that cools the chip to near absolute zero, it should be installed at Nasa and available for research by autumn 2013. US giant Lockheed Martin earlier this year upgraded its own D-Wave machine to the 512 qubit D-Wave Two. NHS bosses are considering making the maternity unit at Banbury's Horton General midwife-led. Banbury MP Victoria Prentis said: "They are proposals but they are very worrying." Under the plans consultant-led services could move to Oxford and Horton could also lose its special care baby unit. Keith Strangwood chairman of the Save our Horton group said: "There's been scenarios at the Horton when if there wasn't consultant-led maternity then a life would have been lost. "If we lose it then it will happen." Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust (OUH), which runs the hospital said: "We are in the early stages of discussions. "Public feedback will be used to inform and shape plans." The clinical-led review by the trust is looking at the hospital's planned care, urgent care, maternity and children's services. In 2008 campaigners won a battle to stop maternity and children's services being transferred elsewhere. The secretary of state rejected the trust's proposals because they failed to provide an accessible or improved service for local people. You have been sharing your stories about the moment you met one of Britain's best-loved entertainers, who has died at the age of 72. Many will remember her as the host of TV shows like Surprise Surprise and Blind Date. Sophie Cousens, in London, took part in the final series of Blind Date in 2001 and won: "I was at university when I decided to apply. I was so excited by the experience. She's the reason I chose a career in TV production. She really inspired me. I was one of the three girls to be picked for a date. Before the show, Cilla came to say hello to us. She was glamorous, elegant, classy. She had an old school TV glow about her. She was so warm and friendly. Then it hit me - I was on Blind Date with Cilla Black! My date (Alex) and I went to Houston, Texas for our prize. It was wonderful. Cilla's son came on the trip too. When we came back to tell our story, Cilla was genuinely interested. That's why the show lasted so long. There was a real authenticity about the show and she was very proud of it. Alex and I dated for a month only, but we're still friends." Adult actress and Cosplayer Tanya Tate appeared on Blind Date in the late 1990s: "The first time I met Cilla was when we came out in front of the audience. I felt really nervous meeting her, she's such a big star. I got my answer muddled up - it was about being tongue tied - and she was patient and professional. It was my first big experience of appearing on UK television but it gave me the confidence to be in front of the camera, saying a line and playing a role. It's a bit surreal looking back - no one would have thought I'd be where I am now, making and producing adult movies as well as doing Cosplay and collectables on Youtube. When you've messed up a line on a big British telly show, you think it's OK, I can mess up elsewhere. I've come a long way from Blind Date - I was number two, he picked number three." Phil Collins, in Surrey, was a contestant on Blind Date: "It was an amazing experience about 15 years ago. I was one of the guys amongst the three hoping to be chosen. We met Cilla two hours before the show. She was adorable. She made you feel very welcome and at ease. One thing that stands out is after filming there was an after show party and she came to have a drink with us all. It was so nice of her to do that. It showed a side that she happily mixed with contestants. I remember her sense of humour. We made a few jokes. She was very humorous even off camera. I didn't get picked. I was gutted." Carolynne Oates was on Blind Date in 1987: "I was the chooser and picked Richard from Guernsey who was 6'7" tall. I quipped his height must have been down to the milk! Cilla was hilarious. She had great comedy timing. I thought she was adorable and very down to earth. After the date, Richard took me to a restaurant for a meal, and all of a sudden we heard Cilla's voice. What are the odds of that? We sat with her, Bobby and Christopher Biggins. I don't know who was shocked more, Cilla or me! When we went back on the show, that was the main topic of our conversation - how we bumped in to each other after our date. The show was a phenomenon - the biggest TV show at the time. People didn't go on with idea of becoming famous, they just wanted to be on the show. It changed your life. To this day, people still talk about my appearance on the show." Janet Brown was on Surprise Surprise: "I met this lovely lovely lady in 1990 after I was on Surprise Surprise. It was filmed in my house with a house full of crew. Such a funny and lovely time. I feel so blessed that my husband and I got to meet her and Bobby later at the TV studio. What a lovely down-to-earth couple. I was quite sad when Bobby died. You could see how devoted to each other they were. Now they are reunited, I bet she's bossing him about like mad!" Interviews by Sherie Ryder and Alex Murray. "Unless the election is extraordinarily close, it is unlikely that an attack will result in the wrong candidate getting elected," suggest Matt Bernhard and Professor J Alex Halderman, security experts from the University of Michigan. But they say the risk the election process could be disrupted by hackers should be taken extremely seriously. In the run-up to the big day, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been carrying out "cyber hygiene" tests on voting systems across the country. Officials are confident in the technology, but there are weaknesses that have security professionals standing by on election day ready to step in if irregularities are spotted. The task facing any hacker isn’t insignificant. In the US, voting is done via electronic booths, the vast majority of which are not connected to the internet. Furthermore, different states, and areas within those states, use different systems - a logistical headache but something of a security godsend, as a fractured system is much harder to attack en masse. But any would-be election hacker wouldn’t need to target the whole country, or even an entire state. Instead, finding methods to implant minute differences, in areas which promise to be a close-run battle, could both affect the national picture and be difficult to detect. And so just as candidates target swing states that could go either way, so too could hackers be looking at "hack states" to target. "Two out of the last four presidential elections were so close that a change of a few counties in one state would have changed the result of the national presidential election," said Andrew Appel, professor of computer science at Princeton University, in an interview with BBC News. "It’s not necessary to cheat in 9,000 different jurisdictions. If the election is close in just one state, changing several tens of thousands of votes might be enough." Prof Appel is part of a team of cybersecurity experts that will be working together on Tuesday to advise election officials on cybersecurity-related matters - helping to identify genuine attacks from, say, just your bog-standard computer glitch, of which there may be plenty. "There may be questions about some piece of machinery that is showing some symptom," he explained. "Does that look like a hack or is that normal? That kind of question." Any security audit, whether it’s to protect a company or a property, focuses on the points of weakness. And in this election, the points of weakness are the electronic voting booths. The greatest concern of the group, which is mostly a mixture of academics and security professionals, is that the security in place on voting machines in some crucial areas just isn't up to scratch. For starters, 10 states use touchscreen-only voting machines, an immediate concern. "You touch the screen and indicate the candidate you want,” explained Prof Appel. "There’s no paper involved, and at the end of the day it indicates how many votes the candidate got. There would be no way to tell if it was done fraudulently." Who is ahead in the polls? 48% Hillary Clinton 44% Donald Trump Last updated November 8, 2016 Several security experts have demonstrated how this process can be tampered with, by installing malicious software capable of changing a switching a person's vote once it is in the machine, or by spoofing the smart cards used to identify a voter. Other states use what’s known as optical scan voting. That’s when a voter fills in a little oval on a page to cast their ballot. It’s logged by the computer, to make counting much quicker, but also stored as a hard copy. If the computer says the vote goes a certain way and there’s suspicion of shenanigans, it can be crossed checked against the paper copy. So where are the “hack states”? Verified Voting is an organisation that tracks the use of voting machines, and their security, across the US. It’s a painstakingly put together dataset which gives you an idea of the complexity of the US voting system. By using this resource, and combining it with polling data, Mr Bernhard and Prof Halderman were able to isolate key states with both poor voting booth security and a tight race. They named the states most at risk as Nevada, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Colorado. "As jurisdictions with close races are most vulnerable to having their results perturbed or cast into doubt, these are the ones to be concerned about,” the researchers wrote. Most experts are in agreement that the voting machines provide the biggest risk - the key under the mat for anyone looking for a way in. But hackers may look to other means to agitate the process. "A well resourced adversary, for instance a foreign government, could do plenty of other things to disrupt the election,” wrote Mr Bernhard and Prof Halderman. "Cutting the power to a few key precincts could throw the entire election into chaos." Furthermore, Prof Appel pointed to previous incidents in which voter registration databases were breached. In September, the FBI urged districts to work with the DHS to ensure their database systems were secure. "The thing that could go wrong is that a voter could show up at the polling place and be told they’re not listed when in fact they should be listed,” Prof Appel explained. In concluding their data analysis on the at-risk states, Mr Bernhard and Prof Halderman offered a summary. “The 2016 election is less secure than it should be. "While we think it’s unlikely that hackers will be able to silently change who wins, attacks that attempt to disrupt or discredit the electoral process in critical states are a distinct possibility."

Neil McCafferty gave the Bannsiders the lead with a penalty but goals from Billy Joe Burns and Jordan Owens (2) put the Crues in control at half-time. Paul Heatley scored twice after the break and Michael Doherty was sent-off. Crusaders could effectively win the Premiership by beating Linfield at Windsor Park next Saturday as that would extend their lead at the top to 12 points, with a much superior goal difference. Doherty produced a fine save from Heatley in the opening minute, while the home keeper made another impressive stop from a Colin Coates drive. The Bannsiders took the lead on 20 minutes when McCafferty rolled the ball into the corner of the net from the spot after Darren McCauley had been tripped by Josh Robinson, his 12th league goal of the season. Burns replied two minutes later by drilling a low free-kick into the net and the full-back turned provider in the 28th minute, crossing the ball for Owens to head home unmarked from six yards out. Owens grabbed his second when he swivelled and fired into the bottom corner from inside the box four minutes later. A minute after the interval, Heatley rifled in a left-foot shot across Doherty, who should have done better. The livewire winger added another soon after with a glancing back-post header into the bottom corner. Crusaders manager Stephen Baxter: "We were magnificent today - we blew Coleraine out of the water after going behind. "We played really well. If you play the right balls to the right players in the right positions, then you are going to score goals. "There were a few harsh words said at half-time, we scored two goals soon after the break and that was the game over. "We're not getting carried away though. We will just prepare in the normal fashion and get ready for a huge game next Saturday." The honour, agreed unanimously by the county's councillors, allows the regiment to march with "colours flying, drums beating and bayonets fixed" on ceremonial occasions. The regiment was formed on St David's Day 2006 from The Royal Welch Fusiliers, The Royal Regiment of Wales and the Royal Welsh Regiment. It recruits primarily from Wales. Its most recent appearance on the streets of Wales was in March when members of the 3rd Battalion paraded in Swansea to mark St David's Day. That event went ahead despite the absence of the Queen, who had been due to hand out ceremonial leeks to the soldiers. The parade in Holyhead on Saturday was led by the regimental colonel, Brig Philip Napier. Anglesey council chief executive Richard Parry Jones said: "Holyhead has had a close affinity with the armed forces over the years and it's fitting that the freedom parade be held in the town. "The granting of the freedom of Anglesey to the Royal Welsh will mean that the name of the regiment takes pride of place on the Roll of Honorary Freemen of the County." Brig Napier said: "This historic step marks the very strong connection we with our forebears the Royal Welch Fusiliers have with the isle. "It is a particular pleasure for the parade to be held in the historic and lovely town of Holyhead." The move follows a police operation that uncovered hundreds of undocumented migrants. Many unemployed South Africans accuse foreigners of taking their jobs in a country where the unemployment rate is 24%. Mozambique's government said it was surprised by the deportations. "We expected to hold talks with the South Africans to discuss the problem, but we just saw people being arrested," said Foreign Minister Oldemiro Baloi. A wave of xenophobic attacks in April left at least seven people dead, including one Mozambican. Mobs targeted workers from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Mozambique and other African countries. Correspondents say that although South African authorities condemned the violence, they have also sought to address complaints about foreigners working illegally in the country. Officials have strongly denied that the police operation targeted foreigners. A government statement on Sunday said that more than 3,900 people, including 1,650 illegal immigrants, had been arrested since April's clashes. "We are satisfied that we have stabilised the situation and further loss of life has been prevented," the statement said. "Security agencies continue to work around the clock to protect both foreign nationals and South African citizens against any attacks." Many of the deported Mozambicans have been housed in tents in a transit centre near the capital Maputo. When violence erupted, Mozambique set up border camps to cope with the exodus of its citizens. Jose Macuacua said he had entered South Africa illegally and had lived there for two years selling mobile phone SIM cards. "The police first asked for my ID, which I didn't have," he said, adding that he hadn't been allowed to gather his belongings before he was taken to a repatriation centre. Maria da Gloria Mathe said she and her husband had lived in the city of Rustenburg for four years selling clothes. "We collected what we could in a hurry because the police were standing at the door of our shop," she said. South African President Jacob Zuma described last month's violence as "shocking" and appealed for calm. Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini was accused of fuelling the attacks by saying that foreigners should "go back to their countries". However, he said his comments had been distorted. The Fort William Mountain Bike World Cup and Buff 4X Pro Tour were held at Nevis Range at the weekend. Hundreds of riders competed in the events watched by a total of more than 20,000 spectators over two days. The Fort William competition forms the third stage of the UCI World Cup Downhill championships. Photographer Paul Campbell captured the action. Arconic, formerly known as Alcoa, fell 6% to $24.01 after the firm said it would stop selling Reynobond PE cladding for use in high-rises. A fire on 14 June killed dozens of residents of the west London tower. Arconic said in a statement it was the "right decision because of the inconsistency of building codes across the world". The US firm supplied Reynobond PE cladding for use in Grenfell despite publicly warning the panels were a fire risk for tall buildings. While the extent of Arconic's responsibility remained unclear, investors were taking a "sell now and ask questions later" approach, said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer at Solaris Asset Management in New York. Wall Street had a lacklustre start to the week, with the Dow Jones closing just 0.1% higher at 21,409.5 points, while the wider S&P 500 index was almost flat at 2,439.07 points. The technology-focused Nasdaq index suffered, shedding 0.4% to 6,247.1 points as Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook each shed 1%, and Google's owner, Alphabet, dropped 1.4%. Avis Budget surged 14.2% following a deal to provide support and maintenance for Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet, for the self-driving cars it is testing on Arizona roads. Hertz Global Holdings, another car rental company, rose 13.6% following reports it is testing self-driving technology under an agreement with Apple. Retailers, including companies that fell after Amazon's deal to acquire Whole Foods, had a better day, with Wal-Mart up 0.9% and Target adding 1.4%. Media shares also gained, with Disney up 1.2%, Twenty-First Century Fox 3.1% higher and Viacom adding 2.9%. The announcement was made in a video on bass player Brown Mark's Facebook page. Guitarist Wendy Melvoin said "after spending days together grieving", they had decided to "do some shows". The band, who disbanded in 1986, had several line-ups, but the concerts are likely to feature Mark, Melvoin, keyboard players Lisa Coleman and Matt Fink and drummer Bobby Z. While no dates have been announced, Melvoin added: "We'll be there soon." The Revolution served as Prince's backing band at the launch of his career, although they did not officially receive their name until their appearance in Prince's 1984 film, Purple Rain. They appeared with Prince on four albums - the Purple Rain soundtrack, Parade, 1999 and Around The World In A Day - and played on some of the star's biggest hits, including When Doves Cry, Let's Go Crazy and Kiss. The group split in 1986 after the singer's Parade tour. Prince was found dead in his Paisley Park recording studio last Thursday. A private memorial service was held for the rock star on Saturday, attended by about 20 of his closest friends and family. It represents rank and file officers and said many are reluctant to become firearms specialists, subjected to long investigations after a fatal shooting. In the wake of the Paris attacks Met Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said there would be 600 more firearms officers to protect London. The Met has 100 new officers to date. About 1,000 applicants have applied to be trained in the use of firearms and a force spokesman said it was "more than satisfied not only with the quantity of the applications, but also with the quality." However, the national lead for armed policing, deputy chief constable Simon Chesterman, said he only expected to get about half of the suitable applicants through the rigorous training process, which hampered speedy recruitment. He added: "I think the greatest threat to delivering the uplift [extra officers] is officers' fears about what they will face in the event they have to discharge a firearm and they are really concerned about what will happen to them post incident." Retired Met Police officer Anthony Long was cleared in 2015 of the unlawful killing of suspected armed robber Azelle Rodney whom he shot dead in 2005. Mr Long said: "I am the worst case scenario. "Non-firearms officers, who might be considering a position as a firearms officer, are rightly saying to themselves, why would I put myself and my family through that, what is the gain, because you don't get paid any more for being a firearms officer?" Home Office figures show the total number of armed officers has fallen in the Met Police by about 717 people since March 2010 when there were 2,856 firearms officers compared to 2,139 in March 2016. The reduction was largely due to cuts in police budgets, the Met Police Federation said. Federation chairman Ken Marsh said: "We really are struggling to recruit. "I think at the moment the commissioner said [he wanted] 600, we are not even halfway there yet. "I think the next batch is going to be far harder because there is only a certain pool that you are taking these officers from." The increase in firearms officers for the capital was part of a national plan to increase the UK's armed response teams, mainly funded by the government. The officers were due to be deployed within two years of the announcement in April. Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) deputy chair Sarah Green said "We recognise the challenging and dangerous circumstances in which firearms officers operate but it is right that when there is a fatality there is an independent investigation. Our independent scrutiny should not cause any officer to be concerned about taking on a firearms role." In the past six years the IPCC has completed 23 investigations into the use of police firearms, of which seven cases involved fatalities. It said in 21 of those cases, including six fatal shootings, no firearms officer involved "was at any time treated as a suspect by the IPCC". "We are working hard to reduce the amount of time our work takes but many firearms investigations involving a fatality are complex and the public rightly have an expectation of thorough scrutiny," Ms Green added. The honour recognises those who have made an outstanding contribution to broadcast entertainment throughout their careers. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) said "no one is more deserving" of the award than Cleese. The Rose d'Or awards go to the best online, radio and TV shows from the previous year. Cleese, who also wrote for Monty Python and Fawlty Towers, joked: "I am delighted by this chance to annoy Terry Gilliam and I'm also very humbled by the offer of an all-expenses-paid holiday in Berlin." The EBU's Jean Philip De Tender, said: "The EBU believes no one is more deserving of the Rose d'Or Lifetime Achievement award than John Cleese. "He has been making audiences around the world laugh for 50 years and his writing and instantly recognisable performances have contributed to some of the best and funniest entertainment on television and in film." Rose d'Or host and BBC broadcaster Paddy O'Connell added: "John Cleese helped invent TV entertainment - but has never forgotten the producers who put him on the screen. "He knows the business inside out as writer, actor and performer. He's a rare public figure in the English-speaking world for learning German as a young man and told Der Spiegel he only wished it was his first language. "For these reasons and thousands more, including a dead parrot, he's the perfect fit to pick up the Rose d'Or Lifetime Achievement award in Berlin." The comic also starred in and co-wrote A Fish Called Wanda and appeared both in the Harry Potter and James Bond films, as well as the BBC programme Frost Over England, which won 1967's Rose d'Or. Cleese will receive the award next month. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram, or email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. The singer has returned to the US after 22 people died and 64 were injured in an attack at a concert she played in Manchester on Monday. She had further live dates booked across Europe in the coming weeks, including two at the London venue on Thursday and Friday. "As yet the tour is not officially postponed or cancelled," the O2 said. "We understand and appreciate you are waiting for information as to whether the shows are going ahead on Thursday and Friday," the statement, issued on Wednesday morning, continued. "We are still in contact with the tour promoters regarding a final decision. As yet the tour is not officially postponed or cancelled, despite media reports." It added: "We promise that as soon as we have clear information we'll let everyone know. Thank you again for bearing with us in what is a difficult time for all involved." Replying to the statement on Twitter, one fan said: "This is ridiculous and unacceptable. The uncertainty is only causing greater distress to distraught young fans." Many said it appeared unlikely the show would go ahead, with another fan writing: "She's back at home in Boca [Florida]. It's clear she's not performing tomorrow... stop dragging it out." But several defended the O2. One replied: "Lets hope the show goes ahead. It might be under a cloud but strength, defiance and not letting the terrorists get to us should win through."

The eight-metre metal crown was put up by the council in the middle of a roundabout without planning approval. A steel replica of a coronation crown, it was erected to commemorate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee last year. While the UUP has defended erecting it without planning approval, Sinn Féin opposes it on "grounds of equality". The Department of the Environment has confirmed that the structure was put up by the council without the necessary planning approval last year. A note on the planning file says the chief executive of Larne Borough Council, Geraldine McGahey, was told before the crown was put on display that it was "not PD" (permitted development), and if erected the council "would proceed at their own risk". Ms McGahey told the BBC: "On the basis that approval was unlikely to be denied, work proceeded." The Ulster Unionist mayor of Larne, Maureen Morrow, also defended the decision to erect the structure which cost the ratepayers of the borough £13,000. "Planning was applied for, but due to time constraints, it (the crown) had to be put in position in time for the jubilee, "she said. Party colleague Mark McKinty said the crown was attracting tourists to the town. "It has been a boost for Larne. Overall it has brought people into Larne, especially tourists," he said. But Sinn Féin MLA Oliver McMullan said that if something had to erected in Larne, the council should have considered a symbol that would be more inclusive. "There is an equality issue involved in this - what (the council) has done here means Larne is not a shared space. "I would like to see some other kind of public art put up there that is reflective of both sides of the community." "The crown was put up as a temporary measure to celebrate the coronation and the Ulster in Bloom competition, but both of these are now over, so the council should be taking it down." The council had applied for retrospective planning approval for the sculpture. After giving a commitment to planners that it would only be displayed on the roundabout for another two years, the DoE has this week agreed to give the structure temporary planning approval. A senior planner said the department would "proceed with processing the application to an approval with a condition that the stature be removed on or before 1 December 2015". The animal was left "hiding and scared stiff" after the incident on Beechwood Avenue at about 20:00 GMT on Monday. Witnesses told police some youths chased and cornered the animal before encouraging the dog to attack it. This animal, which received dog bites to its body, was taken away by the RSPCA for treatment. Cleveland Police has appealed for information. The monument in a place known as Cat's Brain in Pewsey Vale, halfway between Avebury and Stonehenge in Wiltshire, was identified in aerial photographs. Archaeologists and students from the University of Reading are due to excavate the site. It is the first time such an archaeological site in the county has been excavated for 50 years. The site is made up of two ditches and an apparent central building, which may have been covered by a mound, that has now been flattened due to centuries of ploughing. The site, in the middle of a farmer's field, was assessed in a geophysical survey. It is believed it could contain human remains buried there in about 3,600 BC. Dr Jim Leary, director of the university's archaeology field school, said: "Opportunities to fully investigate long barrows are virtually unknown in recent times and this represents a fantastic chance to carefully excavate one using the very latest techniques and technology. "Discovering the buried remains of what could be the ancestors of those who built Stonehenge would be the cherry on the cake of an amazing project." Dr Leary's co-director, Amanda Clarke, said: "This incredible discovery of one of the UK's first monuments offers a rare glimpse into this important period in history. "We are setting foot inside a significant building that has lain forgotten and hidden for thousands of years." Members of the public will be able to visit the site to see the archaeologists at work during an open day on Saturday. The XH558 bomber - which will now make two flypast tours over the UK on October 10-11 - appeared near Biggleswade in Bedfordshire Dawn Sunrise, who lives near Bedford, said she grew up with the plane, which was piloted by her father for the RAF. "I'll be saying goodbye to a childhood friend," she said ahead of the event. "It's going to be very emotional." The plane saw action during the Falklands War but was withdrawn in 1984. Following its flight over the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden Aerodrome, it will make two tours over the UK this weekend and a final flight later in the month before it is grounded and reserved for exhibitions. Ms Sunrise said she had a 50-year relationship with the plane due to her father, Sqn Ldr Peter Thomas. "Dad was assigned 558 as his plane," said Ms Sunrise, who at the time was based at Finningley, South Yorkshire. "It wasn't uncommon to see two or three in the air. "During class, if a Vulcan was flying over we used to have to put our pens down and fold our arms until it had gone - it was so loud, you couldn't continue with the class." Mr Thomas, who is now 89, is unable to make the event but did watch the plane in flight recently in Coventry, alongside his daughter. "When I saw her fly into the distance I had tears," Ms Sunrise said. "I was with dad, which was quite rare - I used to be on the ground watching him fly it, so to be standing next to him was quite a moment." Richard Clarke, of the Leicestershire-based Vulcan to the Sky Trust, said a lot of people shared Ms Sunrise's affinity with the "iconic" plane. "It's got a very, very strong emotional connection to the British public, which is manifested by the fact they turn out in their millions to see her," he said. "It's the shape, the power, the grace, and also that it's a British built, British flown aircraft and there aren't many things around like that in this day in age." Hindus and Muslims should fight poverty and not each other, he told a campaign rally in Bihar. Mr Modi had been under pressure to condemn the killing of Mohammad Akhlaq, who was beaten to death last month. Hindus consider cows sacred and slaughtering the animals is banned in many states. Mr Modi's government wants a nationwide ban, but beef is consumed by Muslims and other religious minorities in India. The prime minister said Indians should ignore "irresponsible" statements by politicians - including ones made by himself - and work together. "Hindus should decide whether to fight Muslims or poverty. Muslims have to decide whether to fight Hindus or poverty. "Both need to fight poverty together.... The country has to stay united," he said. But his comments come on the same day that members of Mr Modi's BJP party beat a Muslim politician in the Kashmir state assembly after he served beef at a private party. The politician - Rashid Ahmed - said he did it in protest against a ban on serving beef in the state. Opposition leader Omar Abdullah led a walkout, asking afterwards: "Do I assault everyone who eats pork or alcohol?" BJP Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh said he did not approve of the attack but said that serving beef was "also wrong". Mohammad Akhlaq died after being kicked and beaten with stones by a group of men in Dadri in Uttar Pradesh state late in September. His son was seriously injured. Six people have been arrested in connection with the incident. In a joint plea to ministers, the Nuffield Trust, King's Fund and Health Foundation said the sector was facing a major funding shortage. The think tanks said cuts were so deep, councils may no longer be meeting their duties to the elderly and disabled. The government says it is investing in the care system with £5bn set aside for the NHS to work with the care system. An additional £1.5bn is being added to that by 2019, while councils have been allowed to increase council tax by 2% a year to invest in care services. The latest warning about care services comes ahead of Chancellor Philip Hammond's Autumn Statement later this month on government spending. Councils are complaining they have not been given enough cash. and last month, the regulator, the Care Quality Commission, said council care cuts were one of the major factors behind the growing demands on A&E units. The three think tanks, which are making a joint submission to ministers ahead of that announcement, highlighted figures showing how councils had started reducing the amount of support they provided to older people. Richard Humphries, from the King's Fund, said it was clear councils were struggling to meet their statutory duties under the Care Act, including promoting well-being and providing high quality care to elderly and disabled people. He said while he was not aware of any legal action yet, he pointed to rising numbers of complaints about care being made to the the Local Government Ombudsman and a rise in the number being upheld as a sign that could change. "That shows that councils are struggling. It is a warning sign. We could start seeing people taking legal action," he added. You stay in your own home while getting help with everyday tasks such as washing, dressing and eating. average amount of care provided per week, by your council average paid per hour by your council, 2014-15 average paid per hour in your region if you pay for your own care, 2016 You live in a care home that provides round-the-clock support with everyday tasks. TBC pay for their own care You live in a care home which provides round-the-clock support for everyday tasks and nursing care. Depending on your medical needs, the NHS may contribute to your costs. TBC pay for their own care Savings, investments and income are assessed, along with the value of your home - unless you or a close relative live there. Councillor Izzi Seccombe, of the Local Government Association, said: "Unless social care is properly funded, there is a real risk to the quality and safety of care and being able to meet basic needs such as ensuring people are washed and dressed or helped out of bed. "The government must use the Autumn Statement to provide councils with the funding to ensure we have a fair care system which keeps people out of hospital and living independent, dignified lives at home and in the community." People were invited to drop off weapons without fear of prosecution over a two-week period that ended on Sunday. The 59 shotguns - including two sawn-offs - were among 293 items handed in. The others included 17 revolvers, 26 pistols and 65 air weapons. All the weapons will be destroyed. Ch Insp Phil Fortun said the operation had been a "huge success". "A sawn-off shotgun is usually the result of someone altering a weapon to use in criminality," he said. "Having two sawn-off shotguns surrendered means they will never be used for such activity." Changes in the law in July increased the maximum jail sentence for illegal possession of a firearm from 10 years to life. Last week West Midlands Police revealed more than 100 guns had been handed in as part of its firearms surrender. David Mundell said consent was not needed for newly published legislation for triggering Article 50. But he said there could be "significant implications" if Holyrood did not give the go-ahead to the repeal bill. A spokesman said the Scottish government will press ahead seeking a consent motion on the Article 50 bill. David Mundell was in Edinburgh for a meeting with the Scottish government's Brexit minister Mike Russell and Finance Secretary Derek Mackay. They were meeting as the legislation giving the UK government the power to trigger Article 50 was published at Westminster, with the UK government aiming to move it through the Westminster process swiftly. Mr Mundell said this bill was "entirely a reserved matter", but said he was working on the basis that the Great Repeal Bill would be subject to the legislative consent process. The Great Repeal Bill would be a key factor in the Brexit process, by removing European laws from the UK statute book. Mr Russell warned after it was announced in October that MSPs may not give their consent for it. Speaking following the meeting at Holyrood, Mr Mundell said: "The bill has not been published, so you can't be definitive, but given the Great Repeal Bill will both impact on the responsibilities of this parliament on and on the responsibilities of Scottish ministers, it's fair to anticipate that it would be the subject of a legislative consent process. "I think there are really big issues that will be in the Great Repeal Bill, there will be issues around the powers for this parliament and issues around whether we have a hole in our law because the body of European law hasn't been adopted. So not agreeing to the Great Repeal Bill would have very significant consequences. "My focus will be to work with the parliament here and the committees here and the Scottish Government to get that agreement." The Supreme Court rejected arguments from the Scottish government that Holyrood should be consulted over Brexit, while ruling that MPs and peers should be given a vote. The Scottish government argues that while the judges said there was not a legal case for consulting Holyrood, they had underlined a clear political one. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Mr Russell have both said there is a "clear political obligation" on Westminster to consult devolved administrations over Brexit, given the judges acknowledged the impact it would have on devolved competencies. Ms Sturgeon said she would attempt to give MSPs a say regardless of the court decision, and a spokesman reiterated this point in the wake of the bill being published at Westminster. Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh will have to decide whether a legislative consent memorandum (LCM) on the Article 50 bill can be voted on at Holyrood. A Scottish parliament spokeswoman said the decision on this would depend on the wording both of the bill and the LCM itself. While Mr Mundell described Wednesday's meeting as "constructive", a Scottish government spokesman said it was "pointless". He said the Scottish Secretary had asked for the meeting to be about powers returning to the UK from Brussels after Brexit, but had provided "zero, zilch, nothing" on that topic. Mr Russell added: "Given this meeting was requested by the Scotland Office, I was disappointed that they appear to have given no thought to [the Scottish government's Brexit] proposals, and made no offer on powers, despite asking for the meeting to discuss that very subject. "There was no offer, no guarantee even that current devolved powers, presently exercised through EU membership, will be coming back to Scotland. There should be no UK power grab." Finnair, the national carrier, has cancelled 16 domestic flights and delays are expected. Trains and city buses have stopped running, but ferries, including those to Sweden and Estonia, are operational. Strikers are protesting against government cutbacks, including limits to benefits and overtime pay. Talks on a collective agreement on wages and working hours collapsed, leading to the strike, Associated Press reported. Last week, Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila announced plans aimed at reviving the eurozone member's economy after three years of recession. The plans included cutting back holidays, reducing pensioners' housing allowances, and reductions in employees' overtime and Sunday pay. "The Finnish state has contracted debt at a rate of almost a million euros (£730,000) per hour for seven years, day and night, every day of the week. We cannot continue like this," Mr Sipila said. Police and organisers expect thousands of people to demonstrate in Helsinki, the AFP news agency reported. TV is the leading medium and the sector is dominated by top commercial station TV3, two public networks and the Baltic variants of Russian networks. TV3's owner, Sweden's MTG, is a major player in the broadcasting sector. Russian-language media is dominated by pro-Kremlin, Russia-made content. In response, Latvia has given closer official scrutiny to media policy and in 2016 temporarily banned a Russian TV network for "inciting hatred". Public Latvian Radio (LR) dominates the radio market, thanks partly to the popularity of music station Radio 2. Public radio and TV are financed by state subsidies and advertising. The BBC World Service in English is relayed in Riga on 100.5 FM. Newspapers - all of them privately-owned - reflect a variety of political views. Many titles have suffered declining circulations. By late 2015, more than 1.6 million Latvians were online (Internetworldstats). Latvian social network Draugiem.lv rivals Facebook in popularity. Inbox.lv portal, offering email, dating and photo services, is one of the most-visited sites. Tata Steel announced on Tuesday it was shedding 900 jobs at its North Lincoln Road site. The company has pledged £3m to help create jobs in the town and another £6m will be provided by the government. Statutory redundancy costs are not included in the package and would fall to the firm to fund. The Community union, which represents the majority of those affected, said the plans were "putting the cart before the horse." "Although any support for steel communities is to be welcomed, there is still a consultation process to go through and no worker will be redundant until that is completed," said general secretary Roy Rickhuss. "Community is focused on looking at the rationale behind the proposals and all possible alternatives that will save jobs. It will be challenging, but all parties should be focused on the consultation." Karl Koehler, chief executive of Tata Steel's European operations, said it was a "challenging time" for employees. "We are committed to doing everything in our power to support those impacted and... we will help create new jobs in the affected local communities." The industry blamed cheap Chinese imports for a collapse in steel prices. The axing of jobs at Scunthorpe comes just weeks after the announcement that Redcar's SSI steel plant is being mothballed, with the loss of 1,700 jobs. A financial package of "up to £80m" is being provided by the government to support workers and local businesses. Tata's funding package is being matched by the government, which is also providing a separate £3m fund to help retrain affected workers. Business Secretary Sajid Javid said: "The government has no intention of simply standing aside whilst the steel industry faces global challenges on a scale unprecedented in recent years. "We will do everything we can to help workers and to ensure a level playing field for the industry." Ministers have asked Baroness Liz Redfern, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, to help co-ordinate the programmes. Tata is providing an additional £1.5m to support job creation in steel communities in Lanarkshire, around its Dalzell site in Motherwell and Clydebridge site in Cambuslang. Taha Hussain, 20, of Langtree Avenue, Slough, is accused of circulating a publication entitled For The Sake Of Allah on 14 October last year. He appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday via video-link and was remanded in custody. Mr Justice Saunders set a two-week trial at a London court, with the case set to start on 30 January.

The original manuscript no longer survives and its disappearance has been shrouded in mystery. The Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, West Yorkshire, is inviting visitors to copy out a sentence of the novel to create a handwritten book. Museum organisers hope it will be ready in time to be displayed next year. Read more about this and other stories from across Yorkshire The museum has commissioned artist Clare Twomey to create thousands of pencils for the project. Jenna Holmes, arts officer at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, said: "The lost manuscript of Wuthering Heights is one of the great Brontë mysteries. "It's a simple but very powerful work, which we think will strike a chord with visitors to the museum this year." Ann Dinsdale, the museum's principal curator, kick started the project with the artist by writing the opening sentence from the novel. Emily Brontë was born on 30 July 1818. She and her sisters Charlotte and Anne lived with their brother and father at the Parsonage during the first half of the 19th Century and their home was turned into a museum in 1928 housing a large collection of artefacts and documents associated with the Brontë family and their work. The sisters wrote a number of English literature classics, including Wuthering Heights, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Agnes Grey.

Visitors are being invited to recreate a long-lost manuscript of Emily Brontë's 1847 classic Wuthering Heights to celebrate 200 years since her birth.

The group has been in turmoil since a £1.5bn hole emerged in its finances last year, forcing it to sell off parts or all of its farming, pharmacies and banking divisions. Changes to the structure of the board were proposed, but had met stiff resistance from some key figures. But 83.7% of members voted in favour of the changes. The plans were proposed by former City minister Lord Myners and were accepted in principle in May. Lord Myners had blamed the structure of the Co-op Group's board for much of the chaos surrounding the business. Among the changes: Ursula Lidbetter, chair of the Co-operative Group, called it a "momentous and defining moment". "These reforms represent the final crucial step in delivering the change necessary to return the group to health," she said. Patrick Gray, president of the Midcounties Co-op which opposed the original changes from Lord Myners, said the vote was "not necessarily the end of the matter but rather the beginning of a new phase". He described the process as "exhausting". "The effort now is to make new Co-op both commercial and ethical. It's possible but difficult to achieve and depends on how the new [commercially focused] board gets along with the also new [members'] council." Following the discovery of the £1.5bn black hole in 2013, a deal was reached which saw the wider Co-op Group cede majority ownership of the bank to bondholders, including a number of US hedge funds. In a separate scandal before the bank had to be rescued, revelations emerged about the bank's disgraced former chairman Paul Flowers, who pleaded guilty to drugs possession in May. BBC business correspondent Joe Lynam said: "Today's vote is basically reinventing how the Co-op is run, putting it on a more commercial footing while retaining crucially the ethical background to the Co-Operative movement - the fact that it cannot be turned into a company at some stage in the future, that is one of the safeguards." He added: "It will still very much be an ethically focused, members-driven organisation but with far more business acumen and experience going forward. "That doesn't mean that there won't be a residue of a split-type movement - there are a lot of people who were very resistant to this change." She said her daughter had 17 placements in the four years and missed nearly two years of school. It comes some 20 years after a similar case of a 12-year-old - who the media called Sarah. The case led to the publication of Sarah's Report which exposed failings in the care system and was supposed to ensure fail-safe improvements. BBC Wales' Week In Week Out programme went in search of Sarah to find out what happened to her. Sarah was a schoolgirl when she went into care for her own protection in the early 1990s. She ended up running away from foster placements and care homes, being lured into Cardiff's red light districts where she sold sex to fund her drug habit. She was 12 years old. She was labelled a "child prostitute" in an era before the phrase "sexual exploitation" was used to describe the horror of her experiences. Her story was told by newspapers after her mother turned to journalists to expose the scandal of a failing care system in the former South Glamorgan County Council area. She had asked a simple question - how could her daughter go into care for her protection and end up being at even more risk? What followed were calls for change, investigations and the publication of the Sarah Report. Lessons had to be learned about how councils treated vulnerable children in the care system, it said. Over the ensuing 23 years I had often wondered about what happened to Sarah. Whenever the issue of child sexual exploitation came up I wondered where she ended up. Did Sarah survive the system? She would be 35 now. How would she reflect on that time; a time when the adults who were meant to be protecting her had failed? Back then, BBC Wales' Week In Week Out made several programmes on the issue but we never met Sarah because she had been moved again - to yet another unsuitable foster placement then another children's home and then, eventually, to a secure unit. While making this week's Week In Week Out programme about a mother who feared for her daughter's safety in care, we decided to look for Sarah. We wanted to know what would have made a difference to her back then and what would have stopped her running away, using drugs and taking such serious risks. Sarah was not her real name - it was one she had chosen for anonymity in the 1990s. After all she was talking about things no girl of 12 should have to talk about, let alone be living. After weeks of searching I got a breakthrough and finally found Sarah. I made contact, hoping she would not be scared or angry about a journalist contacting her after all these years. What I found was an anxious woman who asked a lot of questions. Why were we making the programme? What did we know about care? When I explained another mother had asked us the same question her mother asked journalists all those years ago, she agreed to meet. "If you think it might help the girl who's in care now then I will talk to you," she said. "I tried to help then, but if kids are still going through the same stuff in 2017 then something has gone wrong hasn't it?" We arranged to meet. She gave me an address but explained she did not exactly have a home. I was not sure what Sarah would be like now. I hoped that after being the subject of a high profile report which highlighted shortcomings, she would have spent the years that followed getting all the right help. She may have a house full of kids, a career. I kept thinking "please let her be happy and sorted". When she opened the front door I was shocked. Sarah's face told her story. She looks older than her years. She looks ill. "That's what being a crack addict does for you," she told me. "I was bigger than this when I came out of prison a few years ago." She is now frail and has been warned that unless she stops using drugs she will die. But Sarah says the drugs are what help her to live with her past. She agreed to be interviewed for the programme; for her it felt like the right thing. She wants so much to help children who are still in the system and who perhaps, like her, are angry, confused, feeling insecure about being in care. All the things she felt back then. She was angry to hear that one in 10 children in care in Wales last year experienced three or more placement moves. "Now it makes me angry, makes me sick to my stomach to think there's kids out there now going through the same things I was going through," she said. Just like Sarah, this young girl needed help to deal with her escalating behaviour. She went into care because her mum could not cope with her refusing to go to school, getting into trouble with the police and sniffing lighter fuel. But as soon as she was placed with foster carers she ran away, always back to her mum's house and the streets where she grew up, until another girl from care led her to the Riverside area of Cardiff where, back then, there was an established red light district. Sarah showed us where she was taught to sell sex at the age of 12. She was matter of fact - there were no tears. She said: "I was like 12, she was 15, 16 and this guy pulled over and he was like 'oh I will give you £40' and my friend passed me a condom and he gave me the money I thought do you know what, that's the easiest money I have ever made in my life and that's how I was into it. "That money would buy me what I wanted, fags, drugs, whatever I wanted." To the men who abused Sarah, her age and the fact that she was a sad, angry, confused child did not matter. "A few guys did know my real age and they still had sex with me," she said. "I used to get into the car and shake and think 'oh my God, he's going to take me away he's going to kill me he's going to dump me somewhere'. "And I used to take drugs and alcohol to build confidence to get in that car and stuff - without that I wouldn't be able to do it. "I didn't know about the dangers, or the sexually transmitted diseases or that I could be raped." Sarah said one day she was picked up off the streets and attacked. In a calm and matter of fact way, as we drove around the area where she used to wait for her abusers, she told us: "I was gang raped when I was 13 - the guy gave me a load of tablets - yeah, that was really bad that was." I asked if she reported it to the police. She had not. She went back to the foster carer's home and said nothing. Sarah did not think anyone would listen back then. "You just put it to the back of your mind and move on," she said. "I was very angry person, for a long time. I can't get in relationships and stuff like that because I can't trust no-one and when a man touches me it makes me cringe." We asked Sarah what would have made a difference to her back then. What would have stopped her running away, being drawn into that world of sexual exploitation and violence? "Maybe if they had a foster family who did care about me and really did help me," she said. 'Turns my stomach' Cardiff council - not involved with the recent case examined by BBC Wales - told us it was committed to doing everything possible to prevent child sexual exploitation. It said it would be inappropriate for it to comment on the working practices of its predecessor - South Glamorgan council. But, a spokesman added, important lessons had been learned following the Sarah Report which helped bring about marked improvements in the way local authorities look after vulnerable children. Having met Sarah, it seemed some things had not changed for her, but if she could talk to the girl whose mum is worrying about her right now because she is in the system? "Go to school, not to smoke cannabis, don't have sex with loads of men, just be that like that age you are supposed to be. Get her GCSEs, get a job make something of your life. "It turns my stomach to think she could end up like me. It does make me feel physically sick, like. They need to do what they can to help her so she don't turn out like me." Sarah is trying to build a new life and wants a future, but she is not sure if that will ever be possible. More than two decades after her mother questioned the system and why it was not working for all children in care, Sarah is sad we are still asking. 3 June 2017 Last updated at 13:00 BST She visited young fans who are being treated at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. She's back in the city for her special concert on Sunday to remember the victims of last week's attack. Leah has more... Advice if you're upset by the news No driver has won more races there than the Briton, and he will no doubt be more determined than ever to take victory and get his season up and running.

Who will finish in the top 10 at the Chinese Grand Prix? Olive Cooke, from Bristol, was one of the UK's longest-serving poppy sellers and had collected money in Bristol for the Royal British Legion for 76 years. A suicide note said she had managed to get "little sleep" and could "take it no more". Her body was found at the bottom of the Avon Gorge in May. Avon deputy coroner Terence Moore recorded a verdict of suicide. The inquest, at Flax Bourton Coroner's Court, heard Mrs Cooke had previously attempted suicide in 2009. Her insomnia meant, in the months before her death, she was getting only two hours of sleep a night. Mrs Cooke supported numerous charities and at one point received 267 charity letters in one month, leading to suggestions that being hounded for money pushed her to take her own life. But her family insisted that - while the letters and phone calls were intrusive - the charities were not to blame for Mrs Cooke's death. Nothing was said of the charities during the inquest. But speaking after the hearing, son-in-law Brian Janes said the case had opened a "can of worms". "She had 27 direct debits to charities, she was an older lady who had a hard time saying 'no' to anybody and they took advantage of her. "Whether it was deliberately or what, it still ended up taking advantage of an older person and that shouldn't be. "[We want] Olive to be known as a person with a big heart who loved life." It is believed the former post lady sold some 30,000 poppies during her time helping the Royal British Legion. She started selling poppies at the age of 16 as her father was an active Royal British Legion member, having served in World War One. Mrs Cooke said, before she died, that selling poppies took on new meaning for her when her first husband was killed in action in World War Two.

Federer, 35, finished the contest in one hour and 41 minutes to claim his first Wimbledon title since 2012. He becomes the oldest man in the Open Era to win at the All England Club. "It is cruel sometimes," Federer said of Cilic's physical difficulties. "But Marin fought well and is a hero, so congratulations on a wonderful tournament." Federer surpasses Pete Sampras and William Renshaw, who won their seventh titles in 2000 and 1889 respectively, with only Martina Navratilova still ahead in terms of Wimbledon singles titles on nine. He has won two of the three Grand Slam titles so far this year, having returned from a six-month break to win the Australian Open in January. With 19 major titles he extends his lead over Rafael Nadal in the men's game to four, and now stands joint-fourth on the all-time list with Helen Wills Moody, five behind Margaret Court on 24. Media playback is not supported on this device Among his long list of achievements, Federer became the first man since Bjorn Borg in 1976 to win the Wimbledon title without dropping a set. The tournament favourite from the outset, he was rarely troubled over the course of seven matches, and Cilic was not in the condition to provide a serious test. "I never give up in a match. I gave it my best - it's all I can do," Cilic said afterwards. Federer was playing in his 11th Wimbledon final and Cilic his first, and the gap in experience showed from the early stages. Cilic, 28, hit a forehand which bounced before the net on the opening point as the nerves appeared hard to shake off. Federer offered up a couple of early double faults but there was a sense of inevitability about the first break, which came in game five after Cilic fell heavily chasing down a drop shot, and then sent a backhand into the net. A beautiful cross-court forehand helped Federer towards set point in game nine and Cilic duly double-faulted, ending the set with a 49% first-serve percentage that hardly troubled the Swiss. After Federer made it 3-0 in the second set, a tearful Cilic sat in his chair as the doctor, tournament referee and supervisor attended to him. Media playback is not supported on this device Cilic later revealed that it was emotional rather than physical pain at that stage, but he was clearly in some distress and there was little he could do to stop Federer racing into a two-set lead after just 61 minutes. A medical time-out was taken before the start of the third set and this time strapping and padding applied to Cilic's left foot. A first retirement in a men's singles final since 1911 appeared likely but Cilic struggled on, while Federer probed for the break that would surely end his wait for a Wimbledon title. It came at 3-3, when Cilic netted a backhand and successive forehands, and only the dark clouds above Centre Court appeared capable of delaying Federer's coronation. Fourteen years on from his first victory, there were signs of nerves when he served for the title for the first time since 2012. Media playback is not supported on this device A first championship point disappeared with a wayward forehand, but an ace down the middle followed and it was the celebrating Swiss who was now tearful as he looked to his team and family, including wife Mirka and four children, in the stands. "I think the younger twins think this is a nice view and a nice playground - hopefully one day they'll understand," added Federer. "They come for the finals. It's a wonderful moment for the family and my team. "This one is for us. Thank you to Wimbledon, thank you Switzerland." Media playback is not supported on this device Boris Becker, three-time Wimbledon champion: "We can't emphasise enough all the records Federer has broken, and with tough competition. "Everybody is younger than him and he finds the way to win easily, and do it consistently on every surface, apart from clay. It's just impossible to fathom. You think, where is he going to go now? Will it be 20 Grand Slams at the US Open?" Tim Henman, four-time Wimbledon semi-finalist: "Because Federer makes it look so easy and the technique is effortless, people take for granted the training that he does. He's meticulous and at the age of 35 he knows what works for him. "I've seen him in the locker room doing all the exercises for his lower back, which he can struggle with. He can struggle with his shoulder as well. I think fundamentally he loves what he does. This is his hobby, not his job. If it stays that way, there's no reason why he can't keep playing."

Chairman Steve Parish said the club was "fortunate that someone of Sam's calibre and experience was available". Allardyce has been out of work since losing the England job after 67 days, in the wake of a newspaper sting. The 62-year-old will take training on Saturday, before Palace's Boxing Day game at Watford. "You generally get a new job because there are difficulties at a club," Allardyce told Crystal Palace's website. "I have to sort those difficulties out, hopefully with my experience, and try to get a few more results on the board, particularly over Christmas and New Year, to make everybody feel more comfortable." The former Bolton, Blackburn, Newcastle and West Ham boss saved Sunderland from relegation last season despite them being second from bottom when he joined. After dismissing Pardew on Thursday, Parish said his "expansive style of football hasn't worked" and told BBC Sport the club would now "wind the dial back the other way". Parish, who co-owns the club with American investors Josh Harris and David Blitzer, said relegation is "so costly" that a change was needed. "The club itself seems to be very ambitious, certainly the chairman," said Allardyce. "The owners seem to taking the club forward in the right direction. I like the look of the squad. "That's probably the reason that I am here because I feel that the club could go forward from here and, hopefully, I can help it go forward." Media playback is not supported on this device Caretaker manager Keith Millen took Friday's news conference and told the media that Allardyce would "sort the players out". Pardew, 55, a former Palace player, was sacked after a miserable 2016 in which his side took just 26 points from the 36 Premier League matches they have played - and are only one point above the relegation zone. The club's points-per-game tally of 0.72 in 2016 was their second worst in a calendar year - and their form for the year is the worst of all 92 Premier League and EFL clubs. On 26 December 2015, Palace were fifth in the Premier League table. However, a 14-game winless run into April resulted in them finishing 15th. Pardew led Palace to the FA Cup final for only the second time in their history, where they lost 2-1 to Manchester United at Wembley. This season, the Eagles are the sixth highest scorers in the top flight but are third in the list of teams who have conceded the most goals. "The strengthening in that [attacking] area by Alan and the club this summer has brought a lot of flair to the team and I think that has brought a few more goals," said Allardyce. "But the other side is that when we aren't in possession we have just got to stop conceding goals and make sure the goals that we score win us games. "It sounds simple but it's not that easy - that's what we have got to try to turn around." With the January transfer window coming up, Allardyce is also planning to try to add "a little bit more strength in depth". "The players here are good enough but, if we can add to that, let's try to do it," he added. Media playback is not supported on this device Allardyce left his post as England manager by mutual agreement in September after only one match in charge. It followed 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". He did apologise but also said "entrapment had won". Allardyce is known for having an instant impact on sides when he joins them - shown below after he arrived at Blackburn Rovers (2008-09) and Sunderland (2015-16). The graph also shows the dip in form immediately after Allardyce has left (Newcastle 2007-08) and Blackburn (2010-11). Allardyce has become associated with a preference for direct football during his career. As the graphs below show, during his season at Sunderland after joining in October 2015, they were among the most prolific long passers in the division and strong at set pieces. Public Health England said the success of MMR vaccination meant the infection was now incredibly rare and the screening was causing unnecessary stress. Infection during pregnancy can lead to brain damage and other health problems for the baby in the womb. The rest of the UK is also considering the measure. The viral infection - also known as German measles - is mild, causing a rash and fever. But it becomes very serious in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, when it can lead to sight and hearing problems, brain damage and heart defects. Pregnant women are offered a blood test to determine whether they are immune to the virus. The UK's National Screening Committee recommended in 2012 that rubella screening should stop because levels of the virus were so low that the World Health Organization classed rubella as eliminated in the UK. Screening will stop in England in April. Public Health England (PHE) said high uptake of the MMR jab - which protects against measles, mumps and rubella - was allowing it to make the decision. Dr Anne Mackie, the director of screening programmes at PHE, said: "The decision to end rubella susceptibility screening in pregnancy in England is based on a rigorous assessment of the evidence and expert clinical advice. "Screening for rubella in pregnancy does not give any protection to the unborn baby in that pregnancy. "The best preventative measure a woman can take to protect herself from rubella is to ensure she is immunised with the MMR vaccine before she gets pregnant." The charity Sense, set up by parents affected by rubella, welcomed the news. Joff McGill, from the charity, said: "It is a cause for celebration that in the UK there is no endemic rubella and congenital rubella syndrome births are now rare thanks to the childhood immunisation programme and high levels of MMR uptake. "Stopping rubella screening in pregnancy will not lead to an increase in cases of congenital rubella syndrome. "The only way that will happen is if there are significant rubella outbreaks, and we can ensure that doesn't happen by continued high levels of uptake of MMR." The Japanese gaming giant saw profits of 64.7bn yen ($569m; £456m) in the three months to December. Analysts had predicted about 20bn yen. As well as its mobile-only Pokemon Go and Super Mario Run games, Nintendo enjoyed healthy sales of Pokemon titles for its 3DS handheld devices. It will launch its newest console, called Switch, in early March. Some analysts believe the device - which attempts to merge home and mobile gaming - could be Nintendo's last shot at selling a home console, after the Wii U proved a flop. It was rapidly outsold by Sony's PS4 and Microsoft's Xbox One, although Nintendo has enjoyed success with its handheld 3DS device. Like many Japanese exporters, Nintendo benefitted from the stronger dollar, which means its overseas profits are worth more when repatriated. The firm makes about 75% of its sales outside of Japan. But with voters being asked to go to the polls for a second assembly election in just 10 months, and with this campaign having been a divisive one, how will people react on Thursday? Voter turnout in assembly elections has slid steadily since 1998, when about 70% of the eligible electorate went to the ballot box. At last year's assembly election, turnout was down more than 15% on the figure from 18 years earlier. So, has setback and scandal at Stormont put people off politics, or has it spurred them on to have their say? BBC News NI spoke to two people with strongly differing views on voting. The right to vote has been hard won for many people, Feliticy McKee says, and she believes every single ballot paper will have a significance when counting begins on Friday. "Our very peace process was established through democracy and the Good Friday Agreement - I vote simply because of that," she explains. "The main success that we have from our democracy is the peace process - it may not be perfect, but these things take time. "And also, within Northern Ireland there have been people who have fought for my very right to vote." Even for those turned off by the main parties, the variety of candidates should serve up something to support for most people, including those desperate for an alternative. But she adds that many non-voters are not engaged in the political process in any way, and more must be done encourage them to at least become "involved in protests or other forms of resistance". Voter apathy "does tend to appear in more peaceful places", Felicity says, but recent results have shown that change is possible. "If you look at Brexit and Trump, there can be changes within democracy and within the system that some non-voters are so upset about. "This election could change things, considering how everyone's reacted to the RHI scandal - there's a huge feeling in the air of wanting to change. "Democracy can quite literally come down to a handful of votes in some constituencies, so every vote matters." Stephen Elliott describes himself as a "member of a positive non-voters' fraternity", and has adopted a firm stance against making a ballot paper. That is because he sees Northern Ireland's political system as a "failure", and points to the falling turnout in each of the past five elections as evidence that others feel the same way. "There isn't an individual candidate or a party that has demonstrated they can govern Northern Ireland, and that is the reason that people, like myself, turn away from this," he says. "I'm not going to endorse anyone by voting for them because they're not worthy of my vote. "I agree that the right to vote is a very important privilege and it has been long and hard-fought for. "But that does not mean that there should be a demand or an entitlement on the part of the political class for us to go out and support them. "There is an arrogance in the political class that we own them a duty to employ them - we're better off without them at the moment." Describing non-voters as pessimistic, Stephen says, will not encourage them to participate in the democratic process. "It sounds to me as if it's a desperate act to frighten or intimidate people into going to vote. "That will not work - positive non-voting is the answer." A battle between the DUP's Peter Weir and his suspended party colleague Jonathan Bell will be the key one to watch in the election, according to a bookmaker. Mr Bell is standing as an independent in Strangford after he made extraordinary allegations against DUP advisers and his party leader Arlene Foster over their role in the RHI scandal in a BBC interview in December. He is pitted against three DUP ministers, including Mr Weir, who is standing in Strangford after switching to the constituency from neighbouring North Down. And Christopher Bickerstaff, a trader at A McLean Bookmakers, said there is potential for a shock. Another intriguing contest will be between Sinn Féin and the SDLP for the fifth seat in North Belfast, Mr Bickerstaff said. "It looks a straight fight between Nichola Mallon of the SDLP and Sinn Féin's Carál Ní Chuilín. "The business we're seeing suggests Nichola Mallon will take the seat, although we have her priced as the outsider. "Carál Ní Chuilín has a decent lead in first preference vote from the last election, so Nichola Mallon has a fair bit of ground to make up." While political pollsters have been stung by some spectacular electoral upsets over the past few years, Mr Bickerstaff said bookies face added pressure to get it right. "We have to be a bit more scientific with the way we look at it - we can lose money, whereas pollsters just come down to opinion," he explained. "We have to take time and care before we produce our odds, and I reckon we've got a good handle on it this time. "But it has been a very difficult election to price up with the drop from six to five seats in each constituency." You can find a list of all candidates running for election in each constituency here. A total of 1,254,709 will be eligible to vote in Thursday's Northern Ireland Assembly election. That figure represents a 2.14% drop on the number of people who were on the electoral register for the last year's poll. Of the 1,281,595 people who could have gone to the ballot box last time, 54.9% decided to cast a vote. The Electoral Office for Northern Ireland said that 33,700 people were added to the register between 11 January and the end of the registration period in the run-up to this week's polling day. A full constituency breakdown of the eligible electorate is available on the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland website. Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh, who is known as Mother Mushroom, was found guilty after a one-day trial in the central province of Khanh Hoa. Her lawyer told the BBC she had 15 days to appeal. Rights groups have described as "outrageous" the charges against the writer, who has become an icon for the country's dissident community. Vietnam's one-party communist regime frequently jails its critics. Ms Quynh has been detained since October 2016 when she visited a fellow activist in prison. Ms Quynh, 38, started a blog in 2006 raising awareness of social injustice and pointing out political and environmental concerns. With the growing importance of social media, the internet has become a vital platform for dissidents in a country which tightly controls its media. Her unusual blogger name is based on the nickname "mushroom" for her youngest daughter. One of the biggest cases she drew attention to has been the environmental damage caused by a bauxite mine in the central highland area. Ms Quynh also co-founded the Network of Vietnamese Bloggers, an independent writers' association. In 2015, she received an award from the Sweden-based Civil Rights Defenders and earlier this year she was awarded the International Women of Courage Award by the US State Department. She was unable to attend the ceremony because of her detention. Given her prominence domestically as well as abroad, her case has attracted a lot of attention. The day before her trial, Human Rights Watch called on Vietnam to drop all charges against her. "The scandal here is not what Mother Mushroom said, but Hanoi's stubborn refusal to repeal draconian, rights-abusing laws that punish peaceful dissent and tarnish Vietnam's international reputation," the group said in a statement. The arrest of activists and dissident bloggers is not unusual in Vietnam but this case has struck a particular nerve with people because of Ms Quynh's popularity. After her arrest, more than 1,000 people including bloggers, activists and lawyers signed a petition asking for her release. Since her detention, she has not been not allowed to see visitors and only met her lawyer nine days before the trial. According to the BBC's Vietnamese Service, Ms Quynh's mother was only allowed to visit her on Wednesday and for about five minutes. After her trial, her lawyer told Reuters news agency that the sentence was "too heavy and unfair for the accused". The verdict is likely to spark an outcry in the online dissident community. Critics accuse the government of using the trial to intimidate other activists but there are also hopes that it will draw more widespread attention to the harsh treatment of those who speak out. He said leaving a rate hike until too late risks steeper rate rises in the future. Sterling briefly pushed above $1.27 after his comment, having dipped below $1.26 prior to Wednesday's Queen's Speech. Mr Haldane's comments are at odds to those made by Governor Mark Carney. On Tuesday Mr Carney said "now is not yet the time to begin" rate rises. In August last year the Bank cut interest rates to 0.25% after signs of a slowdown following the Brexit vote. But, in a speech in Bradford, Mr Haldane said: "Provided the data are still on track, I do think that beginning the process of withdrawing some of the incremental stimulus provided last August would be prudent moving into the second half of the year." Mr Haldane said the risk of moving too late with a rate hike had grown, after UK economic growth and inflation had proven more resilient than expected. Time not right for rate rise, says Carney New Bank of England policymaker appointed Bank surprises with interest rate vote However, Mr Haldane said he had not voted for a rate rise in June due to there being "few signs of higher wage growth" and the "chance of a sharper than expected slowing in the economy". Both are reasons for monetary policy "not to rush its fences," he said, adding that the general election "has thrown up a dust-cloud of uncertainty". "It is unclear what twists and turns lie ahead, with potentially important implications for asset prices and, at least potentially, confidence among businesses and consumers. "I do not think adding a twist or a turn from monetary policy would, in this environment, be especially helpful in building confidence, at least until the dust-cloud has started to settle," he said. In his speech Mr Haldane also examined why UK wage growth has been weak in recent years. He said that longer-term factors included a decrease in unionisation and an increase in self-employment, flexible and part-time working, and zero-hours contracts. He said technology and globalisation "may have weakened the bargaining power of workers". He added that "the impact of the financial crisis on slack in the labour market" was also a factor. Colchester Hospital's leadership was labelled "poor" by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which put the hospital in special measures in 2013. End-of-life patients did not always receive "safe or effective care", the watchdog also found. The hospital said the report did not reflect the improvements it had made. Operations were regularly cancelled and some cancer patients had to wait more than 100 days for treatment, the CQC found. Outpatients were often placed "at high risk of avoidable harm" because of a "real lack of understanding" of waiting lists, it said. Many items of equipment had not been tested "for several years", despite this being raised as a concern at a previous inspection. Mothers were not treated "with sufficient dignity and respect" on the postnatal ward, inspectors found. Staff were praised for being "dedicated" but inspectors said they "felt let down" because many agency workers did not show the same level of commitment. Prof Sir Mike Richards, the Chief Inspector of Hospitals, said the hospital has a "serious number of problems" and has shown "only limited capacity to improve". "While the staff have been working hard through many issues to drive improvements locally, their efforts have been affected by poor leadership and a high use of agency staff, some of whom are unsuitable in terms of their skills and knowledge," he said. He recommended the trust remains in special measures for the next three months, during which time it must submit a weekly improvement plan. The trust's council of governors said the report might have an impact on recruitment and was "likely to have a negative effect on the morale of our dedicated and loyal staff". All high-risk medical devices have been checked since the inspection, it added. Chief executive Frank Sims said he was "disappointed" with the report but will use it as a "blueprint for improvement". More than 300 people have signed an online petition calling on Denbighshire council to stop bulldozers moving in shortly at Rhyl's Sun Centre. The council plans to replace the complex with a new aquatics centre elsewhere on the seafront as part of a multi-million pound regeneration. It said the Sun Centre was too expensive to run each year. Campaign organiser Nigel Beech said many people wanted the Sun Centre retained. "They're telling us that the building is unsafe but for a few thousand pounds I think they could make it safe and save a lot of money," he said. "I feel very passionate about saving it. Rhyl needs a centre like this to bring in the visitors and I don't think the aquatics centre that they're proposing would be the same." Mr Beech said he and his family had used the centre for many years when they travelled from Crewe for holidays in north Wales. "We used to go regularly and I then started taking my children when we moved to Rhyl four years ago," he added. "It would be such a shame to see it disappear." Officials have previously said that the demolition of the Sun Centre will be an important step forward in its plans to regenerate the seafront, using public and private sector funding. Clearing the Sun Centre site will pave the way for the refurbishment of the adjoining Pavilion Theatre's ground and first floors, creating a green public space and more parking facilities. A Denbighshire council spokesman said: "While we are aware that many hold feelings of nostalgia towards the Sun Centre, the building as it exists today costs the council thousands of pounds every year to maintain - money we feel would be better invested in the area's future." The last grand prix in Bahrain was an important race for Rosberg to win, because he was already some way behind Hamilton in the championship. In fact, he entered the weekend third overall, behind Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel as well. But Rosberg did not win - Hamilton did again. It was fortunate for Rosberg that Vettel had a bad day at the office - but Kimi Raikkonen's second place for Ferrari underlined just how difficult this year is going to be, for Mercedes in general and Rosberg, who finished third in the race, in particular. Fortunately, there is now a decent break before the next race in Spain on 10 May for him to have a think about what to do next. Last year, Rosberg took the title battle to the final race, eventually losing out to Hamilton in Abu Dhabi. This year, Hamilton has been in control since day one, and after four races is more than a clear victory's worth of points ahead - 27 points in front. In reality, Hamilton has been on a roll since after the Belgian Grand Prix last year. Hamilton got a big lift out of Mercedes backing him following the collision between the two drivers at Spa. The team not only punished Rosberg privately, but admonished him in public as well. Rosberg was clearly quite badly affected by that incident. The team stopped smiling at him in quite the same way as before, and it appears that he looked inside himself and thought: "Actually, yeah, that was not appropriate; I should not have done that." Hamilton has been dominant from that moment on. The only time Rosberg has beaten him since was in the penultimate race of last year in Brazil, where it has to be said the German did a super job all weekend. Hamilton's momentum has carried on into this year, and he has eradicated his main area of weakness from 2014, which was his first flying lap in final qualifying. Hamilton got quite a lot of those runs wrong last year, and that put him under pressure on the final run, where Rosberg more often than not beat him. This year, though, Hamilton has nailed those first Q3 laps every single time, and the pressure is firmly on Rosberg. I'm convinced Hamilton has stepped up this year. He seems more at ease, with less pressure on him - which I'm sure comes from winning the championship again and feeling he has nothing to prove to himself. Rosberg is an intelligent guy, and that has often been a strength, but this year he is over-thinking. When that happens, you tense up, and things don't flow. It stops being natural. It's happened to me in the past and I'm sure to every driver; in fact probably every sportsperson. You could see that after Q2 in Bahrain. In fact, Radio 5 live commentator James Allen and I had an on-air debate about it at the time. After Rosberg had been a second off Hamilton in Q2, James was very quick to pick up that Rosberg was thinking about the race and trying not to take too much out of that set of tyres - which is the one the drivers have to start the race on. Rosberg later admitted that was indeed on his mind. I said at the time I would prefer Hamilton's one-second advantage, because going into Q3 you know what the car is going to do and where your limits are. The driver is heading into that crucial final session knowing exactly what he has to do - and he also has the psychological advantage of that margin. It's like: "There you go, I've done it. Now you try to beat it." And that's exactly what happened - Rosberg qualified only third, and said afterwards that this was partly because he did not have a feel for the limit because he had been so conservative on his Q2 lap. I've experienced what Rosberg went through last year in sports car racing. Losing a world championship is one of the most gut-wrenching experiences a racing driver can have. You put so much effort and emotional energy into it - especially if it is a straight fight between two guys in the same team. There was high tension within Mercedes last year, which is very draining. At the end of it, the person who wins gets a massive boost and the other one has to recover from that, which does not happen overnight. When a driver gets into this sort of mindset, it takes something to change it, and usually that is a victory. For now, though, Rosberg is yet to get everything together this season. He is doing a neat and tidy job, but it's not enough. Right now, he is in a similar position to the one Andy Murray faces in tennis. Murray is a superb player, but he is competing in an era of three all-time greats - Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Those guys will become legends of the sport. And it is the same for Rosberg, racing in an era that contains Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Vettel. Rosberg needs to throw off the internal pressures - and that is very difficult to do. His problem is that the media adds to it. So far, Rosberg has fronted up to all the questions about trying to beat Hamilton. But it might be a better idea to decide not to go there and refuse to answer them. China was another example of him not doing quite the right thing. I don't think his comments after the race, accusing Hamilton of backing him into the Ferraris, did him any favours at all. It betrayed a weakness. I know how he feels. When I joined Audi in sportscars, I had already won Le Mans with Porsche, but it was some time before I won it with Audi. And Audi kept bringing it up, which made it worse for me and added to the pressure. It was like telling the media what to ask, and of course then every question focused on the fact I had not yet won Le Mans with Audi. There are simple things you can do to alleviate some of that pressure, and Rosberg needs to work out what they are and do them. Rosberg is perhaps not on the ultimate level of Hamilton at his best. But he has the speed and the capability to be there or thereabouts - he proved it last year. You don't go to bed a fast driver and wake up a slow one, and you can only control yourself. So you have to concentrate on that, don't think about what the other guy is up to and get back to enjoying driving a racing car, because that is what will unlock those final couple of tenths of a second that make the difference between winning and losing. If Rosberg does not turn this around soon, it may be too late. Raikkonen is revived this year and Ferrari have two cars that can mix it with Mercedes. That will increase Ferrari's development potential and they have nothing to lose, because they are coming back after their worst season for 21 years. Ferrari are not quite there on absolute pace yet, but they are close enough to be a fly in the ointment. Last year, if one of the Mercedes drivers had a bad race, they would almost certainly still finish second behind the other, which mitigated their losses in the constructors' championship. But this year that is not the case. Ferrari are right there and will split the Mercedes if there is any kind of problem - such as Rosberg's brake failure on the penultimate lap in Bahrain that gifted second place to Raikkonen. In these situations, the championship can slip away from a driver quite quickly. At the moment, everything Hamilton touches seems to turn to gold. And Mercedes have already intimated that they would look at operating team orders if Ferrari start to get a sniff that they have a realistic chance of the championship and throw everything behind one driver. Media playback is not supported on this device If that happens, with the way things are going at the moment, there is only one driver Mercedes are going to back, and it is certainly not Rosberg. It is building up into a very exciting year. You have the might of Ferrari with a cavalier attitude against the more methodical, process-led approach of Mercedes. There are going to be fireworks as a result. Allan McNish is a former F1 driver, a three-time winner of the Le Mans 24 Hours and the 2013 World Endurance Champion. He was talking to BBC Sport's Andrew Benson The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) surveys the sky for high-energy particles, or cosmic rays. It has seen evidence for what could be dark matter colliding with itself in a process known as "annihilation". But scientists stress that a precise description of this enigmatic cosmic constituent is still some way off. "It could take a few more years," said AMS deputy spokesman Roberto Battiston, a professor of physics at Trento University, Italy. "But the accuracy that AMS is displaying is far greater than past experiments, so we're getting closer to unveiling the cause of the particle events we're detecting," he told BBC News. Dark matter accounts for most of the mass in the Universe. It cannot be seen directly with telescopes, but astronomers know it to be out there because of the gravitational effects it has on the matter we can see. Galaxies, for example, could not rotate the way they do and hold their shape without the presence of dark matter. AMS - a particle physics machine nicknamed the "Space LHC" in reference to the Large Hadron Collider here on Earth - has been hunting for some indirect measures of dark matter's properties. It counts the numbers of electrons and their anti-matter counterparts - known as positrons - falling on to a battery of detectors. Theory suggests that showers of these particles should be produced when dark-matter particles collide somewhere in space and destroy each other. In a paper in the journal Physical Review Letters, the AMS team reports the observation of a slight excess of positrons in the positron-electron count - an outcome expected of these dark matter annihilations. The group also says the positrons fall on the AMS from all directions in the sky with no particular variation over time. This is important because specific locations or timing variations in the signal could indicate a more conventional source for the particles, such as a pulsar (a type of neutron star). AMS was placed on the International Space Station in 2011. The longer it operates, the better its statistics will be and the more definitive scientists can be in their statements. But lead spokesman, Prof Sam Ting, said the AMS Collaboration would proceed slowly and cautiously. "It took us 18 years to do this experiment and we want to do it very carefully," he told a seminar at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (Cern) in Geneva. "We will publish things when we are absolutely sure." The Physical Review Letters paper reports the positron-electron count in the energy range of 0.5 to 350 gigaelectronvolts (GeV). The behaviour of the positron excess across this energy spectrum fits with the researchers' expectations. However, the "smoking gun" signature would be to see a rise in this ratio and then a dramatic fall. This has yet to be observed. Only more data from above 350 GeV will resolve this issue. "With time, we should be able to tell you whether it drops off very quickly, in which case it will be the result of dark matter collisions - which means we've found dark matter; or that it drops off very slowly which means the positrons come from pulsars," Prof Ting explained. "At the moment we do not have enough particle events." Getting a definitive detection and nailing some of its properties would open up dark matter to further study. "At the moment, all we can say is that the (dark matter) particles could have a mass of several hundred gigaelectronvolts, but there is much uncertainty," said Prof Battiston. (By way of comparison, a proton, the particle in the nucleus of every atom, has a mass of about 1 GeV). AMS is just one of several techniques being used by researchers to try to uncover the nature of dark matter. There are laboratories on Earth that are attempting to make more direct detections as the elusive particles pass though containers of the elements xenon or argon, held deep underground. The Large Hadron Collider, too, is involved in the hunt. It hopes to produce dark matter particles in its accelerator. A precise description of this mysterious component is now an urgent objective for modern physics. Normal matter, the material we can see with telescopes (all the stars and galaxies), contributes just 4.9% of the mass/energy density of the Universe. Dark matter is a far bigger constituent, making up 26.8%. This figure was recently raised following studies of the cosmos by the European Space Agency's Planck telescope. The value is now nearly a fifth up on previous estimates. Dark energy is the component that contributes most to the mass/energy density of the Universe at 68.3%. Dark energy is the name given to the force thought to be accelerating the expansion of the Universe. Its character is even more obscure to science than dark matter.

There were clashes in Valencia and other Venezuelan cities. Nearly 40 people have been killed since the unrest began six weeks ago. Mr Maduro has accused the leader of the opposition-led National Assembly, Julio Borges, of inciting violence by calling people onto the streets. On Friday, riot police clashed with elderly protesters at the so-called Grandparents March in Caracas. Opposition leaders say they will keep the pressure on Mr Maduro's government. "We are going to stay in the street, building a way out of the crisis," opposition lawmaker Freddy Guevara told AFP news agency in Caracas. The current unrest was triggered by a Supreme Court attempt to take over powers from the opposition-controlled National Assembly on 29 March. It reversed its decision a few days later, but by then the opposition had seized the momentum. Despite having the world's largest known oil reserves, Venezuela is facing a shortage of many basic items, including food and medicines. Its economy has collapsed, with inflation expected to top 700% this year and crime is rampant. The opposition says the socialist governments of Mr Maduro and his predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez, have mismanaged the economy since coming to power in 1999. It is calling for early elections and the release of opposition politicians jailed over the past few years. Mr Maduro accuses the country's business elite of boycotting the economy to create unrest and topple his democratically-elected government. His term ends in January 2019. Media playback is not supported on this device England claimed silver and bronze in the final through Max Whitlock and Louis Smith. Scotland's Daniel Purvis finished in fifth place. Keatings's gold follows his two silver medals, in the men's all-round finals and the men's team event. And it takes to 14 the number of gold medals won by Scotland since the Games got under way. Keatings, 24, produced a stunning routine in front of his home crowd to score 16.058 and see off the challenge of Whitlock. "It was amazing to be in front of a home crowd and do probably one of my best routines," he said afterwards. "I went for a 7.2 start and hit it. I'm ecstatic to have won." BBC Sport's gymnastics expert Beth Tweddle said: "It feels right that, in front of a home crowd, Dan Keatings produces that. "It's a massive achievement for Dan because this wasn't just any old final, this was the one they all wanted." Meanwhile, Purvis secured a bronze medal in the men's ring final. The event saw Canada earn their first gold medal in the gymnastics courtesy of Scott Morgan, with compatriot Kevin Lytwyn taking silver. Kaden Gowers sustained fatal injuries on Fowey Close, in Macclesfield, shortly before 21:00 BST on Tuesday, Cheshire Police said. He was pronounced dead in the cul-de-sac. Detectives said no-one else is thought to have been involved in the death. Prayers were held at his school, All Hallows Catholic College. Principal Tony Billings said: "Kaden Gowers joined All Hallows Catholic College this September, coming into Year 9. "In a very short space of time he made many new friends both at All Hallows and across the town. We are all deeply saddened by news of the tragic accident which has taken Kaden from us." A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: "Investigations are ongoing to establish the exact cause of the accident. "The boy's next of kin have been informed." Villa were linked with moves for Roma striker Seydou Doumbia and Arsenal full-back Mathieu Debuchy on deadline day, both of whom joined other clubs. Villa are bottom of the Premier League, 10 points adrift of safety. "It probably says we're going down, it's as simple as that and as clear as that," Houghton told BBC World Service. "I've heard some of the quotes from Remi Garde, the current manager, and that wasn't what he was told when he took over. He thought there would be funds available in January to strengthen the squad. "To have brought no-one in is quite remarkable in many respects, this is probably the best window for the teams at the bottom because they're the ones that panic the most. "The amount of money that's coming into the Premier League next season is huge and for a club like Villa not to be in it next season would be unbelievable." "Newspaper stories suggesting that Remi Garde might consider his future as Villa manager following their failure to improve the squad in the transfer window may attract some sympathy from Villa supporters. "Garde has already told us that any signings the club did manage to make on deadline day would not be his first choices. "Villa's league position didn't make the task easier, but any slight lift in morale from the recent brief unbeaten run now appears to have been lost." Simon Stevens, who has worked as an NHS manager and acted as a health adviser to Labour, will take over from Sir David Nicholson in April. Mr Stevens is currently working for United Healthcare as its global health president. His appointment comes at a challenging time for the health service. While the NHS budget has been protected - it is rising 0.1% each year at the moment - the settlement still represents the biggest squeeze on its funding in its history. This is happening at a time when there are growing demands for care. There have already been signs the NHS is struggling to cope. Last winter pressure on A&E units meant the waiting time target was missed from January to March. Meanwhile, a growing number of trusts are running up deficits. Despite having worked in the US for the past three years, the Oxford University graduate has plenty of NHS experience. During the late 1980s and for much of the 1990s he worked in a number of management positions, including a stint at Guy's and St Thomas's Hospital Trust in London and for a mental health service in Northumberland. In 1997, he became an adviser to Alan Milburn and co-authored the 2000 NHS Plan, which led to record increases in investment for the health service. From 2001 to 2004 he worked directly with Tony Blair and was a strong advocate for increasing the use of the private sector. After that he joined United Healthcare, first to lead their European arm and then as a senior executive in the US. As chief executive of NHS England, Mr Stevens will have control over the day-to-day running of the health service. Mr Stevens would be paid the same as Sir David - £211,000 per year - but had offered to take a 10% pay cut in the first year due to "NHS spending pressures", NHS England said. He will draw a salary of £189,900 in the first year. Christina McAnea, head of health at the union Unison, sounded a note of caution about Mr Stevens' appointment. She told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4: "I am surprised that they haven't been able to find someone within the NHS... and somewhat concerned that this is the Tory-Lib Dem government trying to install American medical values." Ms McAnea said she hoped it was not a "surreptitious attempt" to move away from the NHS values of "free medicine for all" But the chairman of NHS England, Sir Malcolm Grant, said they wanted to do a global search and believe Mr Stevens is the right person to lead the health service through the coming years. Sir Malcolm told the Today programme: "We wanted the best in the world and we've got I think the best in the world. Of course we've got somebody who's got experience both of the public health system in this country and of the best of American healthcare. "The NHS has to be open to ideas from across the world. All nations are facing a crisis in the affordability of healthcare and the American experience is valuable to us." Mr Stevens said: "It will be a privilege to lead NHS England - at a time when the stakes have never been higher - because I believe in the NHS, and because I believe that a broad new partnership of patients, carers, staff and the public can together chart a successful future for our health service." NHS England chairman Prof Sir Malcolm Grant said: "I am delighted that Simon will be taking on this exceptionally challenging leadership role for the NHS. "We have been through a rigorous global search, and engaged with a range of excellent candidates. "I am confident that Simon Stevens is the right person to lead NHS England through the coming years, bringing new ideas and fresh energy." Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "Simon has an extraordinary reputation in the UK and abroad as a reformer and an innovator, and we are lucky to have someone of his calibre doing such a vital role. "He will make a key contribution to the two biggest challenges facing the NHS right now - how to raise standards of care and also be financially sustainable. "His passion for our universal health service free at the point of use goes back many years but he will add international expertise as we face the challenges ahead." The announcement comes after Sir David said in May he was stepping down after seven years leading the health service. He had faced repeated calls to resign over his role in the Stafford Hospital scandal. Sir David spent 10 months in charge of the local health authority in 2005 and 2006 at the height of the problems. The cargo vessel disappeared about 48km (26 nautical miles) north-west of the remote island of Socotra while sailing from the eastern province of Hadramawt. The government says the incident took place five days ago, but it appears that it was only confirmed on Tuesday. The cause of the disaster is not clear, but a minister said it was an accident. The government has asked merchant vessels and warships in the area to help search for survivors, some of whom are believed to have escaped in lifeboats. Fisheries Minister Fahd Kavieen wrote on his Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon that so far 35 people had been rescued. He was hopeful that more could be found, but warned that the next few hours would be "very critical" and appealed for helicopter support from the Saudi-led coalition backing his government in its war against the Houthi rebel movement. Earlier, Mr Kavieen was quoted by the AFP news agency as telling reporters that the ship was believed to have sunk on Friday as a result of an "accident", citing "preliminary information". The government had sent out an SOS after the sinking was confirmed on Tuesday, he added. But the Aden al-Ghad news website quoted a source in the coastguard as saying he had received a notice from authorities in Hadramawt on Tuesday night that contact with the ship had been lost several hours after it set sail from Mukalla. Socotra, which is home to about 50,000 people, is about 350km (190 nautical miles) south of Yemen and 240km (130 nautical miles) east of Somalia. Flights between the Yemeni mainland and the island were suspended in March 2015, when the conflict between the government and the Houthis escalated and the Saudi-led coalition closed the country's airspace and began carrying out air strikes. There are no regular ferries, forcing islanders to seek passage on cargo vessels. Mr Wright has been the interim chief executive since Richard Carey announced in October he was standing down from the health authority. It has been embroiled in a recent staffing controversy. NHS Grampian chairman Prof Stephen Logan said: "He has demonstrated strong charismatic leadership, a clear focus for the organisation and a genuine desire to be visible." Mr Wright's appointment comes after BBC Scotland revealed last month that the board had failed to appoint a new chief executive after a recruitment campaign for the post, on a salary of up to £151,000 a year. Prof Logan added: "His tremendous capacity for hard work and his personal drive, energy and enthusiasm have been instrumental in embedding our values of caring, listening and improving and in moving forward day to day business at the same time as planning for the future. "We should never be complacent. We face real challenges every day and we will continue to do so. But we will continue to deliver safe, effective, person centred care with good clinical outcomes and positive patient experience and Malcolm will maintain that focus and build and develop the organisation going forwards." Recommendations were made in reviews last year looking at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, the care of older people and concerns over general surgery. Stephen Jones heard the crash from his parents' home near Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, on Sunday night. He jumped into the 12ft (3.6m) deep North Level Drain as her car sank and pulled the driver free in pitch black darkness. The 34-year-old said his heroics were "what anyone would do". The woman was unhurt but later charged with drink-driving. More news from Cambridgeshire Mr Jones, from Woking, Surrey, was visiting his parents in Parson Drove when they heard "an almighty sound" at about 21:15 BST. The car had careered through metal railings and plunged into the middle of the water where it started sinking, he said. "I think the the scary bit was the fact you could hear the person inside the car screaming for help, which was terrifying. "I went straight into the water and tried to open the doors first of all, but couldn't. "Luckily the windows were already smashed, so I went underwater and unlocked the doors and just had a feel around. "I managed to feel someone in there and pulled them out." Mr Jones said he was in the "freezing, pitch black water" for about four minutes trying to free the woman. Police, the fire service, an ambulance and air ambulance were all called to the scene and were "amazing", he added. Mr Jones was later praised by police on Twitter, who wrote: "Steve, thank you for your life-saving actions." "It could have been an awful lot worse than it was. I just did what any human would have done if you heard screams," Mr Jones said. "The fire chief told me [the woman] would certainly have drowned if I hadn't gone in to help." The woman, 58, from Spalding in Lincolnshire, will appear before Peterborough magistrates on 17 May. Having played three fewer games, unbeaten Celtic are eight points better off than their Glasgow rivals. "We will never give in until it's done," said veteran striker Miller. "But for us it's about finding that consistent form and putting a run together. If that happens, then you never know." Rangers sit second after back-to-back home wins against closest challengers Hearts and Aberdeen but Mark Warburton's side are yet to win three-in-a-row in the league this season. "You need to put a run of wins together if we want to close this gap on Celtic to as little as possible," said Miller. "That's what the aim is and if we're going to do that we need to start winning a lot of games and that starts on Friday against Hamilton. We want to get our first set of three straight wins this season and before the Celtic game we'd like to go in with five." After losses to Hearts and Aberdeen earlier in the campaign, Miller is now seeking revenge against the only other team to have beaten them - Celtic. "We've played Hearts, Aberdeen and Celtic all away from home during the first part of the season and lost to them," said Miller on the Ibrox club's annual visit to Glasgow's Royal Hospital for Children. "Now we've put two right by winning at home and we've got Celtic at our place in a few games' time [31 December] and that's another opportunity too. "We're building a bit of momentum now." Miller turns 37 two days before Christmas but remains a first team regular under manager Mark Warburton, scoring four goals in 23 appearances this term. The former Scotland striker is out of contract in the summer and confirmed he has yet to be offered a new deal, but he is not thinking about retirement any time soon. "I'd love to sign on again but these kind of things are out of my hand," he said. "However, I've got no plans on slowing down. I feel pretty good at the moment. Is 40 a realistic target? Well it's only three years away now so it's definitely on the horizon. "As long as I still feel like this then why not? "I've been playing a lot of games which is great. I still feel I'm contributing and as long as I keep doing what I'm doing then hopefully I'll have a year or two - or three or four - left in the tank yet. "I want to be here. I enjoy working with the gaffer and [assistant manager] Davie Weir but for me it's about staying fit and healthy and performing." The 90m-long Schokland is carrying a cargo of wind turbine parts and lost power on Sunday near the island of Hoy. The ship was towed through the Pentland Firth and down the east coast overnight by the Einar tug, owned by Orkney Islands Council. A spokesman for the authority said the cargo ship had suffered engine failure. But US sources have refused to comment on a claim by Sinn Féin Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness that the move is because of the UK's decision to leave the EU. He disclosed it had been postponed at a Sinn Féin meeting in Derry. Sources say the conference would have involved between 20 to 25 people, including potential investors. It is understood Mr McGuinness was told of the postponement at a meeting in Belfast on Wednesday with US officials, including the US Secretary of State John Kerry's personal representative to Northern Ireland, Senator Gary Hart. Before last month's referendum President Barack Obama warned that Britain would go to the "back of the queue" for trade deals with the US if it voted to leave the European Union. It is hoped the event will now go ahead next spring instead.

Media playback is not supported on this device The 2-1 home loss to Swansea. sees Villa, who have not won since the opening day of the season, remain second-bottom of the table, four points from safety. "Am I going to be in the job next week? I'm not the person to ask," said Sherwood, who took charge at Villa Park in February. "I feel like the club is in a hole." The former England midfielder, sacked from his previous job by Tottenham despite leading them to sixth place during the 2013-14 season, is not concerned about the axe. "No, it's out of my control," added Sherwood. "I can only control what I can control, and on Monday I'll be working as hard I've done since I came to this club." Sherwood joked he will avoid a call from the board if it wants to sack him. "I'll just turn my phone off," he said. Ghana international Jordan Ayew gave Villa the lead, before Gylfi Sigurdsson equalised with a 25-yard free-kick. Jordan's brother Andre then grabbed the winner for Swansea, three minutes from time. "I am disappointed with the result, we didn't deserve to lose the game," the ex-Spurs boss told BBC Sport. "We can't carry anyone because we're getting done. At the moment we are short. "If people don't give everything we'll come up short. There's no shortage in desire but the quality is not quite there. "We're not world beaters. Our league position suggests were not and today wasn't our day." Sherwood, who led Villa to Premier League safety and the FA Cup final last season, said his team were "in a mess", but was optimistic they would get out their predicament. "I am gutted we haven't got anything from the game. It's not about me personally," he told Sky Sports. "I believe we will get out of it and this club will be in the Premier League next season. I'm expecting them to improve to win enough games."

Aston Villa are "in a hole" after their sixth straight Premier League defeat, according to manager Tim Sherwood.

Storms Desmond, Eva, Frank and Gertrude all caused major issues in the area, as did poor weather on 27 January. A report to councillors said nearly 400 repair jobs eligible for support under the Bellwin Scheme had been identified. Their cost is likely to exceed £3.5m. Scottish Borders Council is bidding for a further £925,000 from another scheme. The Scottish Borders was hit by heavy rainfalls throughout the winter with Hawick, Jedburgh, Newcastleton and Peebles badly affected. A lengthy list of repairs has been drawn up across the region and many of them have already been carried out. Most of them should be funded by the Scottish government via the Bellwin Scheme. However, SBC will need to fund the first £508,000 of works. The local authority also hopes to get further capital funding from a separate government-backed compensation scheme. It would be used to replace the Bowanhill Bridge near Teviothead and Newmill footbridge north of Jedburgh, and carry out embankment works on the Ettrick Water in Selkirk. The referendum certainly didn't end tensions and divisions and there will be many more arguments over the next two years. But one of the most striking things about yesterday's debate on the bill which would pull the UK out of the European Union, was how good tempered it was. Perhaps the tone was established early on by those two veterans of the European argument, Kenneth Clarke and Sir Bill Cash? During his speech, Ken Clarke insisted he was on good terms with the people he dubbed "the hard-line Euro-sceptics" because he respected their sincerity. And he joked that "hot tongs" wouldn't make Sir Bill Cash vote for membership of the EU. Sir Bill returned the compliment. He paid tribute to Mr Clarke and declared: "I respect him and the way in which we have battled over these matters over all these years." Who'd have thought we'd see such a public display of clubbable chumminess from two veterans of the bitter Maastricht rebellions? James Bell, of Ramsgate, Kent, and George Bathmaker, of Mitcham, south London, both aged 79, died within three months of each other in 2013. Dr Shirley Radcliffe recorded a verdict of accidental death after a joint inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court. West Yorkshire company Acorn Stairlifts has accepted responsibility. "Investigations revealed there had been a catastrophic failure of a welding joint between the tubular seat post and the attachment plate," Dr Radcliffe said. She said it had occurred as a result of "inadequate welding at the time of manufacture". The inquest heard Mr Bell sustained head and chest injuries and Mr Bathmaker suffered a spinal injury and cardiac arrest after their stairlifts snapped and they fell downstairs. Both men had been using Acorn Superglide 120 models. Acorn's lawyer Gary Lewis told the inquest a dealer had contacted the company about a month after Mr Bell died at his home in July 2013, saying the Kent coroner had been informed. Despite enquiring twice about Mr Bell's death the company did not get a reply until the end of September as the coroner was on holiday. By the time of the reply on 30 September Mr Bathmaker had also died. The company, based in Steeton, said it was "distraught and shocked" on realising there may have been a link between the deaths. Group compliance manager William Waddell said the news of a second death prompted a major recall. A total of 43,556 stairlifts were sold directly by Acorn, with a further 14,054 sold through dealers. "Everyone now has been contacted in some way," said Mr Waddell. "We have exhausted every avenue to try and find the stairlifts." Caroline Killbride, of West Yorkshire Trading Standards, said the firm's rectification programme was appropriate in line with its obligations and that it had sufficient recall procedures. After the inquest Mr Bell's daughters Diane Lee and Sonia Dutton said they wanted justice for their father and to prevent anything like his death happening again. "It's appalling," said Ms Lee. "The stairlift was put in to prevent an accident happening and it proved to be the death of him." Mr Bathmaker's son Daniel said not enough had been done after the death of Mr Bell. "My family would like to say that whilst we accept the coroner's verdict of death by accident we do not accept that every effort was made by Kent Constabulary, Kent Coroner's Office and Acorn at the time of Mr Bell's death that could have prevented the death of my father." The 19-year-old, from the St Paul's club in Belfast, beat Germany's Hamza Touba on a unanimous decision to move into the flyweight quarter-finals. Irvine needs to come in the top three in Istanbul to be assured of a spot on the Ireland boxing team for Rio. Olympic champion Katie Taylor had an easy win over Martina Schmaranzova of the Czech Republic at the qualifiers. She will now face Yvonne Rasmussen of Denmark in the quarter-finals of the lightweight division on Wednesday. Cork's Christina Desmond beat top seed Nouchka Fontijan of the Netherlands at middleweight, while Ceire Smith saw off Hungary's Virginia Barankas in the flyweight division. Wexford's Dean Walsh suffered a split decision defeat by top seeded light-welterweight Lorenzo Sotomayor of Azerbaijan while Clonmel super-heavyweight Dean Gardiner was outpointed by Mahammadrausl Majidor, also from Azerbaijan. At least six people have died in the fires, which have burned more than 1,900 hectares (4,700 acres) of forest, officials said. The fires broke out a month ago, but intensified in recent days with more than 400 burning simultaneously. They have not yet hit Himalayan tourist towns, but villagers say that smoke has affected air quality and visibility. Officials say fires have been widespread this year because the forest is exceptionally dry due to low rainfall. "This can be compared with the worst fire of 2012," said Environment and Forests Minister Prakash Javadekar. The Indian air force has used helicopters to help douse the flames, although low visibility caused by smoke has limited their deployment, local media reported. But the National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF), which is co-ordinating the fire-fighting effort, reports that satellite imagery indicates that 70% of the flames have been put out. The director general of the agency, OP Singh, told the PTI news agency that they have managed to bring down the number of fires from 427 to 110-115 locations. Droughts in India as temperatures soar Searching for water in drought-hit Latur India's water refugees who live in cattle camps 'Avoid cooking from 9am to 6pm' A lack of water and wives in India Is India facing its worst-ever water crisis? The Indians risking their lives for water The fires come as India suffers one of its worst droughts in years. The government says 330 million are now affected by water shortages. It comes as part of efforts to target women aged 31 to 44 in a campaign to change attitudes about alcohol. Last year the Scottish government urged drinkers to take smaller glass sizes, to promote health and limit ageing. It has now updated its "drinking mirror" app to show how cutting back could improve your looks over 10 years. Official estimates suggest one in every 30 deaths among women is alcohol-related. Figures from the Scottish Health Survey also indicate more than one in three regularly drink more than is good for their health - the recommended weekly guideline of 14 units for women. Health Secretary Alex Neil told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme: "Over the past 20 years or so there has been a doubling in the number of deaths of women aged 31 to 44 as a result of over-consumption of alcohol and there's been a trebling of the incidence of cirrhosis and liver disease as well." This is a big win - a huge win - for the 39-year-old former banker and virtual political newbie who will now become France's youngest leader since Napoleon Bonaparte. What struck me as I watched his giddy supporters dancing, singing and waving the French flag so excitedly at his election party at the Louvre is how little is really known about him. "What does Emmanuel Macron mean for France?" I asked them. Responses were euphoric but not particularly precise. "Hope" was a word I heard a lot; "something new". But when I asked about his political programme, eyes went blank. And this is where the Big Mac comes in. Except that France has bought the burger without really knowing what's in it. This world economic and political power and key EU player is about to be presided over by a politician whose person, party and policies are pretty much unexplored. That's quite a gamble. One Macron issue that people are very clear on, though, is that he is not Marine Le Pen. That may seem screamingly obvious but it is largely the key to his electoral success. French voters desperately wanted change - to stubbornly high youth unemployment rates, social inequality, a stagnant economy and the persistent terror risk. They were keen to kick out the old guard - the traditional centre-left and centre-right parties that have governed France for decades - but they clearly favoured "safe" change over a new French revolution, offered to them by the far left and the far right. The fear and disgust in mainstream France at the very idea of Marine Le Pen as their national figure-head was palpable. Many Macron votes were simply by virtue of him not being her. And yet she still garnered one in three presidential votes on Sunday. Millions more stayed away or spoiled their ballots. Emmanuel Macron is known as the French establishment's anti-establishment figure. This suggests it will now be quite a challenge to win over large sections of the French public. Yes, he's promised a new, dynamic France: socially just yet business-friendly, neither left- nor right-wing. But can he really dance at so many weddings all at the same time? Marine Le Pen's failure to win the presidency does not magically erase the social, economic and political reasons so many voters flocked to her in the first place. These socio-political divisions will become screamingly obvious in France now as it heads towards parliamentary elections. The EU too should exercise caution before popping another champagne bottle. If one Macron policy is well-publicised, it's his passionately Europhile credentials. EU flags waved alongside the French tricolour throughout his presidential campaign. He chose to make his first stage appearance after the election heralded by the tones of the EU anthem, Beethoven's Ode to Joy. Brussels is cock-a-hoop that Eurosceptic nationalists have now been defeated at the polls in Austria, the Netherlands and France, with negligible chances of success for them in Germany this autumn. But, and it's a big but, the fact that populist politicians from the far right (and in some countries like France also the far left) have performed strongly in elections shows there is no blank cheque for the status quo. Voters expect change at home and in the EU. Emmanuel Macron promises to be a mixed blessing for Brussels. His reform proposals for deeper Eurozone integration will horrify German taxpayers for starters. Irresistible charm of France's new leader Good or bad for Brexit? His commitment to EU unity will also worry the UK ahead of the start of formal Brexit negotiations. He's promised to be tough. But is Emmanuel Macron flexing muscles he doesn't yet have on the domestic and EU front? His challenge now with his fledging political party will be to survive next month's legislative elections with his credibility intact, so he can form the robust government needed to pass the reforms he promises. If given the go-ahead it would allow HMRC to release anonymous tax data to third parties including companies, researchers and public bodies. But former Conservative minister David Davis told the Guardian the plans were "borderline insane". An HMRC spokesman said "no final decisions" had been taken, and it was committed to "confidentiality". The newspaper reported that "charging options" were being examined by officials, suggesting that firms could pay to access the data. But concern has been raised over the plans in the wake of the Care.data initiative - a proposed anonymous sharing of NHS medical records - which is currently suspended after fears were raised as to exactly what information would remain anonymous. Plans to relax the laws around HMRC data-sharing - which are being overseen by Treasury minister David Gauke - were first consulted on in July last year, but HMRC said "further consultations" would also be taking place. Mr Davis told the Guardian: "The officials who drew this up clearly have no idea of the risks to data in an electronic age. "Our forefathers put these checks and balances in place when the information was kept in cardboard files, and data was therefore difficult to appropriate and misuse. "It defies logic that we would remove those restraints at a time when data can be collected by the gigabyte, processed in milliseconds and transported around the world almost instantaneously." Emma Carr, deputy director of civil rights campaign group, Big Brother Watch, said: "The ongoing claims about anonymous data overlook the serious risks to privacy of individual level data being vulnerable to re-identification. "Given the huge uproar about similar plans for medical records, you would have hoped HMRC would have learned that trying to sneak plans like this under the radar is not the way to build trust or develop good policy." A HMRC spokesman said: "HMRC would only share data where this would generate clear public benefits, and where there are robust safeguards in place. "Last year's consultation made it very clear that there would be a rigorous accreditation process for anyone wanting access to the data and that any access would take place in a secure environment. "Those accessing data would be subject to the same confidentiality provisions as HMRC staff, including a criminal sanction for unlawful disclosure of taxpayer information." Bangor-based Cor Glanaethwy will be part of an international mass choir presenting the US premiere of Welsh composer Sir Karl Jenkins' Cantata Memoria. It was written to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster. Choir director Cefin Roberts said it would be an emotional performance. On 21 October 1966, a mountain of coal waste slid down into a school and houses in the Welsh village, killing 144 people, including 116 children. "Now, 50 years on, singing about this... is quite emotional for everyone involved, even the youngsters in the choir, even the young people that had not heard of Aberfan," said Mr Roberts. A total of 70 members of the choir have made the trip to New York to join other choirs in performing the piece on Sunday. Adam Smith hit the post for the visitors, before Michael Rankine fired in from the edge of the box to give Altincham a half-time lead. Atkinson levelled the scores when he headed Smith's cross beyond home goalkeeper Tim Deasy at the back post. The result left Altrincham just two points clear of the relegation zone, while Guiseley stayed in 17th place. The film's co-directors, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, said they "couldn't be more excited to work with an artist with as much depth and range". Donald Glover, who won a Golden Globe on Sunday for his US TV show Atlanta, will play the young Lando Calrissian opposite Alden Ehrenreich's Han. Emilia Clarke will also appear in the film, scheduled for release in 2018. The British actress is best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones and also appeared in 2015's Terminator: Genysys. Harrelson, best known for playing barman Woody in Cheers, was more recently seen as Haymitch Abernathy in the four Hunger Games films. Lord and Miller, who also directed The Lego Movie, said Harrelson's "ability to find both humour and pathos, often in the same role, [was] truly unique". The film-makers did not give any details about his role in the film - although they did reveal on the official Star Wars site that "he is also very good at ping pong". Later this month, the 55-year-old plans to shoot a live movie that will be filmed in a single take in London and broadcast directly to US cinemas. Harrison Ford played Han Solo in the original Star Wars film trilogy, returning to reprise the role in 2015's The Force Awakens. Billy Dee Williams played Lando Calrissian in 1980's The Empire Strikes Back and 1983's Return of the Jedi. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Warren, who led overnight, hit three bogeys and a triple bogey on the last six holes in Kuala Lumpur as his three-over round left him on six under. Bernd Wiesberger leads on 12 under after his second round 63 included nine straight birdies. England's Danny Willett carded a 67 and is one shot behind Wiesberger. Willett, the 2016 Masters champion, hit six birdies and a bogey in his second round. "I played really well on Thursday and it was a little bit scrappy," said Willett. "I holed a couple of nice putts when I needed to. I missed a couple of good chances too, but if someone told me at the start of the day (you will post) five under, I would have bitten their hand off. "The last few weeks I've been trying to hit a fade and I've been hitting them straight left and getting in all sorts of problems, so everything has come on nicely. "But I've been working hard so it's nice to do it on the course." Barros' failed medical test forced the abandonment on Friday. Three-time champion Mares, who holds the regular WBA title, as opposed to Leo Santa Cruz's super belt, is also keen on the fight. "That's a fight I would take straight away," said Selby. "He's a big star in America so a fight between me and him, wherever it took place, over here or back in the UK, it would do massive numbers." Negotiations for the fight could be relatively straightforward, as both fighters are advised by American promoter Al Haymon. The cancellation of the Barros bout cost Selby, 29, a first outing in Las Vegas. Selby admitted he might have to arrange another fight before he can set up a meeting with former super WBA champion Carl Frampton, who is eager to face the Welshman in Belfast. Selby would like to defend his crown in Cardiff, and Mexican-American Mares would be happy to take on the man from Barry in his homeland. "I'll fight anyone anywhere," Mares told BBC Wales Sport. "I'll go to his country and fight him. I've got no problem with that because that's the type of fighter I am." Mares, 31, met 29-year-old Selby at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday, with both fighters present as Northern Ireland's Frampton lost to Leo Santa Cruz on points. "He [Selby] is a well-known fighter, obviously more in his country," added Mares. "I'm a respectable, well-known fighter myself being a four-time world champion and holding a world title. "We can unify world titles and make it interesting. I have no problems packing my bags and flying over there to his hometown because I know of his potential. "I know the type of fighter he is and it will make it a good fight so I'm with it." The Charity Commission began its inquiry into "serious regulatory concerns" at the Didier Drogba Foundation in April. That followed a Daily Mail report that only £14,115 of the £1.7m donated had gone to help causes in Africa. Drogba, 38, said he is seeking damages and an apology from the newspaper. The Commission, which used its powers to analyse the foundation's accounts, said it was satisfied there was no foul play. But it was critical of the fact the foundation failed to separate its activities from those of an Africa-based arm of the organisation. That meant funds collected in the UK were not being spent on hospitals or clinics, as donors were led to believe, but were being saved in a UK current account. "Donors will have expected their donations to have been used for charitable purposes, not accumulated in a bank account," the report read. "Donors to the English charity may also have been misled about the activities of the charity they were supporting. "This is because the impression was given that the English charity had financed the activities of the Ivory Coast Foundation, which is clearly not the case." The Commission has issued the Didier Drogba Foundation with an "action plan" to make improvements. The Didier Drogba Foundation was started in the UK in 2009 when the former Ivory Coast captain was playing for Chelsea. The Mail claimed that since the foundation started, only £14,115 of £1.7m given by donors in the UK had been spent on charity projects. It also claimed £439,321 was spent staging on lavish fundraising parties attended by celebrities, with one ball losing £71,000. The newspaper also said supporters were told they were supporting the construction of a hospital and up to five clinics, but only one clinic had been built and it had no staff or medical equipment. The Charity Commission said it wanted to: It added: "The charity has raised and accumulated significant sums of money that have not yet been spent and further information is required over the plans to spend those funds." "We have been able to satisfy our most serious concerns in relation to the charity by confirming that funds have not been misapplied and that all funds raised in the English charity's name have been held by the English charity," the report read. "We are also able to confirm that we found no evidence of fraud or corruption on behalf of the charity." However, it continued: "We have issued the charity with an action plan to ensure that the outstanding concerns, particularly with regard to transparency to donors and the public, are addressed by the charity's trustees." Drogba released a statement welcoming the findings that "no funds have been misapplied by my Foundation, and that there has been no financial wrongdoing, no fraud and no corruption". He added: "I am pleased that this supports what we always said from the start, which is that the claims made by the Daily Mail back in April were entirely false. "I have instructed my lawyers to seek a full apology and damages to be paid to my Foundation from the Daily Mail." The Mail has always stood by its story and journalism - and stressed that at no point had it ever alleged fraud or corruption. "Yesterday President Zuma was advised to rest following a demanding election," a statement said. Doctors were satisfied with his condition. Mr Zuma, 72, was sworn in for a second term on 24 May following the African National Congress election victory. His cabinet has to tackle worsening economic problems with unemployment at nearly 25%, analysts say. 26 June 2017 Last updated at 06:57 BST Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was first published in 1997, and since then it has been translated into around 74 different languages and sold more than 100 million copies all over the world. The series written by J.K.Rowling has become one of the best selling book series of all time, and has even been turned into massive blockbuster movies. So to celebrate we are taking a look back at some of the best locations from the first book - from King's Cross station to the reptile room at London Zoo... The "striking" spoonbills were seen at the Scottish Wildlife Trust's (SWT) Montrose Basin Reserve. There are only about 75 sightings a year of the bird in the UK - and the trust said they had never been spotted at the Montrose reserve before. Spoonbills have a long black flattened bill, which resembles a spoon at the tip. The species is a European conservation concern. SWT Perthshire ranger Anna Cheshier said it was a rare opportunity for bird-watchers to see an "unusual visitor" to the UK. "The spoonbill is unmistakable. It really stands out at Montrose Basin and we have been watching them carefully since the first sighting on the 28 June," she said. "I have never seen more than one spoonbill at Montrose Basin so it is great news to see a group." The group has been at the basin for over a week and Ms Cheshier said rangers hoped they would stay for a while. The expansion plan sparked deadly violence in the central-southern state of Oromia, which surrounds Addis Ababa. Rights groups say that at least 150 protesters have died and another 5,000 have been arrested by security forces. Similar protests in May 2014 left dozens of protesters dead. Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn had vowed on 16 December that his government would be "merciless" towards the protesters, who he described as "anti-peace forces". However in a surprising move, the Oromo People's Democratic Organisation (OPDO) said on 12 January that it had resolved to "fully terminate" the plan after a three-day meeting. Rejection of official plans by government members is unprecedented in Ethiopia. It is also historic, as it could be seen as acknowledging the legitimacy of the protests. Any form of development the world over is going to upset someone, and the Ethiopian authorities have always said they would consult communities before bulldozing ahead. But many Oromos, especially in the rural areas, view the expansion as a ploy by other ethnic groups, especially the Tigray and Amhara, to uproot them from their fertile lands under the guise of development. The Oromo, who constitute about 40% of Ethiopia's 100 million inhabitants, frequently complain that the government is dominated by the Tigray and Amhara who hail from north of the capital. The governing coalition - the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) - has not yet issued an official statement on the future of its so-called "master plan" for Addis Ababa's expansion. But the extensive coverage of the OPDO statement by the tightly controlled state TV and pro-government websites indicates that the authorities will abandon it. It is also surprising that the OPDO publicly expressed its condolences to bereaved families and pledged to assist those who lost property in the protests. Such promises signal the depth of concern within the OPDO over the long-term impact of the protests. The country's political stability is fragile and it faces numerous domestic and international disputes. Ethiopia has up to 10 domestic armed rebellions, mainly in the regions of Oromia, Tigray and Amhara and Gambella to the west. There is also long-standing rebel activity in the south-eastern state of Somali, also known as Ogaden. Besides the border dispute with Eritrea, which sparked a 1999-2000 war, the country shares volatile borders with Somalia and South Sudan. Pacification of the country's largest ethnic group removes one headache for the authorities. Continuing the crackdown might have spurred Oromos to join rebel groups active in their region. As long ago as 2002, late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said Oromo students and opposition activists presented the most serious threat to his government. So in the face of the large Oromo constituency, the OPDO realised that supporting the master plan undermined its grassroots support and influence within the EPRDF. It is unclear what impact the move will have on the economy, which is one of the fastest growing in Africa. Part of this growth is fuelled by state investment in large infrastructural projects. Despite the impressive development, Ethiopia is ranked 173 out of the 187 nations surveyed in the last UN Human Development Index and has high poverty indexes, mainly related to the rising population. This has put immense pressure on Ethiopia's natural resources, including land, which has become a flashpoint. Most of Ethiopia's population is based in the rural areas and engaged in subsistence farming. The state owns the land, leaving little incentive for farmers to engage in economically viable farming. Some of the best land has also been leased to foreigners, further fuelling the tensions. While shelving the plan would be a major retreat for the government, it is a sign of political maturity of the EPRDF, which has consistently been accused by rights groups of being heavy-handed towards dissent since coming to power in 1991. The step, even if temporary, also removes the rug from under the feet of its numerous critics and will earn it political goodwill from Ethiopia's international supporters, including Western donors.

The three families' lawyers have filed claims on their behalf. Some city legislators say two Sri Lankan nationals have been targeted by police from their own country who have travelled to Hong Kong. The refugee families fed and housed Mr Snowden for two weeks when he fled the US after leaking thousands of files. They are still living in poverty in Hong Kong and unable to work after providing a refuge for the American in July 2013. Their lawyers say it is "a matter of life and death" if they remain in the city. Mr Snowden - who now lives in Russia - tweeted on Thursday that he hoped Canada would grant their request. Canadian immigration lawyer Marc-Andre Seguin said that over the past few weeks the refugees' lawyers felt they needed to take additional steps to speed up the process. "It's very clear that discretionary power should be applied," he told the South China Morning Post, referring to the ability by Canada's immigration minister to expedite claims. Two of the refugees - Sri Lankan nationals Kellapatha Supun Thilina and Debagma Kankanalamage Ajith Pushpa Kumara - have said they are being illegally pursued by police from their own country. They fear being forcibly returned to Sri Lanka, and that they could face violence and torture. Sri Lankan police have denied the allegations. The refugees also say Hong Kong authorities have questioned them on their ties to Mr Snowden. Speaking to the AFP news agency, Vanessa Rodel - who is from the Philippines and among those seeking asylum in Canada - said: "I am hopeful that we can get into Canada and start a new life (with) safety and freedom." Mr Seguin and others, including actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who played Mr Snowden in the eponymous film, have been trying to raise awareness about the refugees' situation. Canadian officials have yet to respond to request for comment. Mrs May faced nurses angry over a pay freeze and a woman who had suffered ill treatment in a work assessment. Mr Corbyn was repeatedly asked if he would fire nuclear weapons if Britain was under attack, after ruling out "first use" of them. He said it was a "shame" Mrs May had refused to debate him "head-to-head". The two leaders were questioned consecutively in the 90-minute special on BBC One. During her 45-minute grilling, Mrs May repeated her mantra that "the only poll that matters is the one that takes place on polling day" and insisted she was right to have the "balls" to go to the country. In a swipe at the prospect of Labour running the country, she said: "We have a situation at the moment where if Jeremy Corbyn was to get into Number 10, he'd be being propped up by the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish nationalists. "You would have Diane Abbott, who can't add up, sitting around the Cabinet table, John McDonnell, who is a Marxist, Nicola Sturgeon, who wants to break our country up, and Tim Farron, who wants to take us back into the EU - the direct opposite of what the British people want." Mr Corbyn began by saying there would "no deals" with other parties and condemning Donald Trump's ditching of the Paris climate agreement. The Labour leader said: "I'm very sorry this is not a debate, this is a series of questions. I think it's a shame the prime minister hasn't taken part in a debate." He insisted that his party's manifesto was not just a "wish list," saying it was "time to invest in our country". He was challenged about his approach to Brexit and said the UK would not "necessarily" be poorer as a result of leaving the European Union. This was not a classic by any means, but it did represent the most sustained period of grilling these two leaders have had so far. Neither was seriously put off their stride but there were wobbles. Theresa May seemed most uneasy when confronted with the experience one woman had with the controversial work capability test. She seemed reluctant to engage and empathise beyond a few carefully chosen words. Jeremy Corbyn was heckled when he showed himself unwilling to say whether there were any circumstances in which he'd use nuclear weapons; and past dealings with Sinn Fein/IRA clearly had a number of audience members concerned. Given the main purpose from the leaders point of view was not to fall flat on their face; they will consider this "job done". Less clear whether this will actually change any minds out there. On Brexit, Mr Corbyn defended his team's ability to handle the negotiations, with plans for immediate legislation to protect the rights of EU nationals in the UK. He said a government led by him would work to "guarantee trade access to the European markets and protection for the conditions we have achieved through EU membership". He was repeatedly quizzed about whether he would use nuclear weapons if Britain was under threat, eventually telling one audience member: "I don't want to be responsible for millions of deaths and neither do you." The Labour leader has made no secret of his opposition to Trident, but has agreed to press ahead with renewal of the system after being defeated in an internal debate on party policy. He said he would work for a world free of nuclear weapons and "do everything I can to ensure that any threat is actually dealt with earlier on by negotiations and by talks, so that we do adhere to our obligations under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty". Mr Corbyn was challenged by an audience member over why he had "never regarded the IRA as terrorists". The Labour leader said: "I have deplored all acts of terrorism by anybody in Northern Ireland or anywhere else." The Conservative leader faced questions about her previous support for staying in the EU. "I did say at the time I thought there were advantages to remaining in the European Union," she said, but added that she had not said "the sky would fall in" if Britain left. But she said she now wanted to "deliver on the will of the people" but also to "make sure we make a success" of Brexit. She has also hit back at criticism of her decision not to take on Jeremy Corbyn in a head-to-head debate, saying: "I don't think seven politicians arguing among themselves is that interesting or revealing." She faced detailed scrutiny from the audience on her planned social care reforms, after an audience member asked: "What is the point of us working our whole lives and building up a pension if it's all going to be taken away again to pay for our care should we need it?" Mrs May insisted the reforms were "fair". She also came under fire from nurses over their experience of incomes falling in real terms, as a result of the 1% cap on annual public sector pay rises. She said public money had to be "managed carefully". She used attack lines first tried by Home Secretary Amber Rudd in Wednesday's seven-way debate, accusing her rival parties of having a "magic money tree" and repeatedly attacking the credibility of shadow home secretary Diane Abbott. One questioner, with mental health issues, was close to tears as she spoke about her experience of a work capability assessment. Mrs May said she would "make no excuses" for the way the woman had been treated, saying improvements had to be made to the work capability assessments and that people with mental health issues had to be given "more support at an early stage". She also faced questions about the foreign aid budget, education and Paris climate agreement. She said: "I have spoken to Donald Trump and told him that the UK believes in the Paris agreement." Another Question Time special on BBC One on Sunday will see Lib Dem Leader Tim Farron go up against SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon. It will start at 17:55 BST and last an hour. Both Question Time specials are being presented by regular host David Dimbleby. "That win was absolutely critical for us if we want to compete for a top six spot," he told BBC Scotland. "From our squad of 43 we had 18 guys gone, so strength in depth is vital. "All the players that came on made a difference and it speaks volumes that we can put out a competitive side under these circumstances." With a long injury list and players on Six Nations duty, things were looking gloomy for Edinburgh after an error-strewn opening at Murrayfield. Having lost their previous three matches, the hosts were trailing 23-16 at the interval. However, an unconverted Ben Toolis try 11 minutes from time added to Phil Burleigh's first-half touchdown, while Aled Thomas made a mess of a simple late penalty for the visitors. "We made it really difficult for ourselves, we gifted them their first 13 points," said Solomons. "We simply weren't at the races, we were too loose, and we had a few words at half time. I think I broke the rage-ometer! "But, second half, the players showed enormous resolve. They were not going to lose that game. "The energy we showed in the last 10 minutes was fantastic, we need to show that for 80 minutes." With Scotland ending their Six Nations drought in Italy, Solomons said it was "a great weekend for Scottish rugby", adding: "Our national team was superb, Glasgow got an important win and the Under-20s won. "We are definitely moving in the right direction in this country." Edinburgh move up to fifth in the table and host leaders Connacht on Friday. Looking forward to the next fixture, Solomons said his squad would need "a massive performance". He added: "We get a 10-day break afterwards, so we don't want to leave anything out on the field." Timothy Abbott, 54, from Stafford, claimed more than £58,000 in disability benefits and failed to pay almost £10,000 in Income Tax and National Insurance. He was jailed for eight months after admitting four counts of fraud. Meanwhile his wife Jeanette who admitted fraud totalling £103,000 was given a suspended eight month sentence. Staffordshire County Council said Abbott, who toured the world as a spiritualist medium, was a regular gym member and claimed disability benefits he was not entitled to for five years. A court will decide later in the year how much the couple will have to pay back. Alan White, Staffordshire County Council's cabinet member for health, care and wellbeing welcomed the convictions at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Thursday. "It is extremely disappointing to see that someone has shown blatant disregard for others who depend on this money," he said. The former England midfielder, 37, joined PSG in January until the end of the season and has played 12 matches. Beckham's side are nine points clear at the top of Ligue 1 with four games left, and Clement praised his impact. "He's been a breath of fresh air. The club have made it clear that they'd like him to stay," he said. Beckham was sent off in PSG's 1-0 win over Evian at the weekend after only six minutes on the pitch. He gets on with everyone. The club have made it clear that they'd like him to stay But despite the red card, fellow Englishman Clement - who also worked under PSG coach Carlo Ancelloti at Chelsea - said Beckham had made a real impact during his time in the French capital. "Everyone was excited when they knew he was coming because he had a fantastic rep as a pro and a man, and great quality on the field still," Clement told beIN Sport. "He gets on with everyone - first out to training, the last one back in, a real enthusiasm for the game. "You know after 20 years of playing at the top level, he still loves his football and hopefully he'll be able to continue for a little bit longer. "He's made it clear that's he's going to have a think about it at the end of the season, talk to his family, see how his body feels. "If he feels fresh I'm sure he'll continue." At the height of Ireland's Great Famine, Choctaws in southern states of the USA sent a donation of $170 (£111). An extraordinary whip-round, that would be tens of thousands of dollars today. The sculpture Kindred Spirits stands in a park in the small town of Midleton, in east Cork. Cork-based artist Alex Pentek told the BBC that the 6m tall feathers, all unique "as a sign of respect" signify the feathers used in Choctaw ceremonies. They are arranged in a circle, making the shape of an empty bowl that symbolises the hunger suffered by Irish people in the famine. A million people died in Ireland and another two million left the country when the potato crop failed for successive years, removing a vegetable that poor people ate every day. The British government, which ruled the whole island at the time, did not offer comprehensive relief help, partly due to an economic doctrine of laissez-faire and partly due to a belief that the famine had been sent from God to improve Ireland, according to Charles Trevelyan, the British administrator in charge of relief. The Choctaw people empathised with Ireland's famine victims. Just 16 years before, the American government had forcibly removed them from their land, moving them to designated parts of south-east Oklahoma. In what became known as the Trail of Tears, thousands of people walked more than 1,000 miles (1,600km), having been forced to leave without gathering their possessions. Four thousand people died of hunger, cold and disease. Historian Julie Allen told the BBC World Service's Newsday programme: "We had been through so much, losing so many of our people through death because of the weather, starvation and disease that 16 years later we heard about the Famine and the horrible situation that they were going through, we felt such empathy that we wanted to help. "The memory of that has been passed down through oral history and written history to both the Choctaw and the Irish people. "This is just such a blessing to us, that the links between our nations can be strengthened with this sculpture." Mr Pentek said: "While I was trying to put myself in the shoes of the people suffering I realised that some things are just unimaginable, that the level and scale of suffering that both nations had endured was really beyond being able to think about, beyond our grasp." Joe McCarthy of Cork County Council said there was no specific link between Midleton and the donation, but the story had "relevance to every single Irish person born since the famine". The sculpture is made of stainless steel and includes more than 20,000 welds. The 35 trainers are working in the southern city of Mykolaiv and will spend about two months in the country. They will train forces in eastern Ukraine in medicine and defensive tactics and give non-lethal equipment. The Ukrainian PM said he "truly appreciated" the support, while the deployment was criticised by Russia. The deal was announced by Prime Minister David Cameron last month. It is the first time a Western nation has conducted a long-term military training programme in Ukraine since its war against pro-Russian rebels began last year. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon has delayed a training programme for Ukrainian soldiers because it fears it could give Russia a reason to end the the current peace deal. A ceasefire took effect on 15 February following an agreement reached in Minsk, Belarus, and has largely held despite sporadic shelling. The British government is also supplying first aid kits, sleeping bags and night-vision goggles as part of its pledge to provide assistance and more British teams are expected to arrive in Ukraine over the coming weeks. BBC correspondent Tom Burridge said the deployment of dozens of military instructors was a symbolic move that would not alter the military balance of the war. The Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk welcomed the assistance in his country, which he said was defending "peace and stability" in Europe. He told the BBC the trainers would "help increase the durability of the Ukrainian military". Mr Yatsenyuk said he saw the help as a "first step" and expected further assistance would come from other EU countries and the US, adding: "Please help us to defend our country and your peace." Dmitry Pveskov, press secretary to President Putin, told journalists the deployment would not relax tensions in the conflict zone. He said: "A presence of foreign instructors in Ukraine cannot facilitate the settlement of the conflict in this country. "Of course, it has been stated repeatedly that it does not contribute to the strengthening of trust or relaxation of tension in the conflict zone. "It can be clearly said that it does not contribute to the settlement." The United States has already said it is planning to send a battalion to train three Ukrainian battalions. More than 6,000 people have died since the fighting in Ukraine erupted last April, the UN has estimated, although the organisation believes the real figure could be considerably higher. The body of Gediminas Stauskas, 32, originally from Lithuania, was found in a garage near Coalisland last week. A detective said the man being questioned was initially arrested on Tuesday in Portadown as part of a separate investigation into two shootings last month in Newry. He has now been taken to a police station in Belfast for questioning. Mr Stauskas was found dead at the property on the Moor Road, near Clonoe, on 15 October. It is understood he may have been tortured before he was killed. Mr Stauskas had a violent past, having been jailed for five and a half years for the 2011 manslaughter of a fellow Lithuanian, Audrius Aukstuolis. The club has been without a permanent base since its Meadow Park home was ruined by flooding in 2007. A ground share was agreed with Cheltenham Town FC (CTFC) in 2010 but the Tigers now owe the money for unpaid rent and other expenses. CTFC chairman Paul Baker said the debt cannot be written off and has asked for the money by the end of March. He said: "We have got an ultimatum that if they don't clear their debt by the end of March and satisfy us that they can meet the ongoing rental payments that are due then we won't be able to let them continue using our pitch and we won't be prepared to enter into an agreement for them next season. "We will give them as much help and assistance as we can, but the bottom line is that we have a business to run here. We were banking on receiving that income." The chairman of Gloucester City AFC, Nigel Hughes, said the club was "desperately" trying to generate some investment. "If we had the money we'd have paid," he said. "Paul Baker is quite right - it's a business that they are running at Cheltenham Town and if the shoe was on the other foot, as they say, I'm sure we'd have taken the same stance." Mr Hughes added that the Blue Square North club was struggling to make any money at all on midweek home fixtures as only a few hundred supporters were attending the games. Kylian Mbappe slotted home on 68 minutes, before Joao Moutinho found the top corner with a wonderful curling effort from outside the box just six minutes later. A mistake by Monaco goalkeeper Danijel Subasic allowed Diego Rolan to pull a goal back for Bordeaux on 84 minutes. Monaco host Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday. They trail 5-3 from the first-leg in the last-16 tie. Leonardo Jardim opted to leave top-scorer Radamel Falcao on the bench, but they needed his help to break the deadlock as he set up 18-year-old Mbappe's 10th league goal of the season, shortly after coming on. But the Colombia striker departed late on clutching his ribs after a heavy challenge from Bordeaux defender Nicolas Pallois. Nice's draw with Caen on Friday moved them above Paris St-Germain into second place on 63 points. Unai Emery's third-placed PSG side will hope to bounce back from their 6-1 midweek defeat by Barcelona as they were knocked out of the Champions League, when they face Lorient on Sunday.

The project was due to have been completed by next year and now has a target date of 2019. The regulator Jenny Pyper told the BBC's Inside Business programme it needed to be a priority for government. "Frankly the second interconnector is a total no-brainer in terms of addressing our security supply issues and trying to make sure we have a much more efficient market," she said. "I need to have this at the top of my agenda as does the department and the minister. "We're interested to see how the planning debate plays out, we're confident that we'll have a way forward this year, but if there are problems, if there are serious hurdles, then I think there are serious decisions to be made." Gary Cleary was found hanged at his Leicestershire home on 13 May - four days after he was arrested by police. The Letzgo Hunting group claims it gathered evidence Mr Cleary was a paedophile after contacting him online and posing as a 14-year-old girl. But police said the 29-year-old had not been charged with any offences. The Leicestershire force would not say what crime Mr Cleary had been arrested on suspicion of, but confirmed he had been interviewed by officers and released on bail. Letzgo Hunting poses as girls under the age of consent and chats to men online, saving the conversations as evidence. The group then arranges to meet the men in public places, and confronts them about their alleged actions while they are filmed. In April, Letzgo Hunting told BBC Radio 5 live's Victoria Derbyshire: "We're not there to hurt anybody." But the group said it would not change its methods following the death of Mr Cleary, who lived in Newbold Verdon. A spokesperson told the BBC: "We told Victoria if anyone hurt a person we caught we would stop; that doesn't include self-harm." The group told the Leicester Mercury: "We feel sorry for his family for the loss of their son." A statement on the Letzgo Hunting Facebook page said: "We feel sorry for Mr Cleary's family however we are not to blame for this man's suicide... he believed he was meeting up with a 14 year old girl he had groomed for approximately one month." The group said it arranged to meet Mr Cleary, who then approached an 18-year-old woman posing as the 14-year-old girl. The group said they then confronted Mr Cleary while filming him. An inquest was held into Mr Cleary's death but neither his arrest nor confrontation with Letzgo Hunting were mentioned during the hearing. Coroner Terry Kirkman said the notes made it clear that Mr Cleary had killed himself because of "personal circumstances". Leicestershire Police and neighbouring Nottinghamshire Police said they were not aware of any cases where the involvement of Letzgo Hunting had led to any offenders being charged. Letzgo Hunting has claimed that its investigation into a Nottingham man, called James Stone, led to him being convicted of sexual offences against a 15-year-old girl. But Nottinghamshire Police said Stone was arrested after the girl's mother contacted them. Letzgo Hunting told the BBC it had recorded online chats with both Gary Cleary and James Stone, and filmed meetings with both men. The online conversations and footage were then given to police, the group said. "All of our evidence is passed to police, otherwise they wouldn't have been arrested," said a spokesperson. Stone has pleaded guilty to grooming, making an indecent image, possessing indecent images, possession of an indecent image with a view to distribution, possession of extreme pornography and two counts of sexual activity with a child. Six of these charges relate to the 15-year-old girl, but none of the charges relates to material gathered by Letzgo Hunting. Stone, 24, who lives in Nottingham city centre, is due to be sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday. The Letzgo Hunting website is currently down, with a message saying it is in "maintenance mode". Det Insp Martin Hillier, of Nottinghamshire Police, said the force was encountering "a worrying increase in those who think they can take the law into their own hands when it comes to internet grooming cases". He said posting videos of alleged offenders online could "compromise any subsequent criminal proceedings" and lead to the collapse of court cases. "Most importantly, any delay in reporting cases such as this to the police can lead to loss of evidence, and, crucially, delays the provision of vital medical treatment or psychological support that the victim may need," he said. "If you suspect someone of online grooming or sexual offences, or indeed any crime, the only course of action should be to call the police immediately." The body of Stuart Brown, 35, was discovered in bushes in Horsell Moor, near Woking, on 22 April last year. His cause of death has never been established. A man in his 30s, who was arrested in November on suspicion of assault, manslaughter and perverting the course of justice, faces no further action. Mr Brown was last seen walking away from Woking town centre along Constitution Hill at 16:20 BST on 21 April. In a statement, Surrey Police said: "Officers have completed their investigation into the death of Stuart Brown... the police investigation concluded that there was no evidence to support any criminal proceedings and a file will be submitted to the Coroner's Office." The centre was closed on Friday after asbestos was found in hard-to-access areas, and further survey work is being carried out. Alliance Party councillor Michael Long said people needed information as soon as possible. "It's important that this is looked at intensively," Mr Long said. "We have called for a special council meeting to be called to discuss the temporary closure of the Robinson centre. "Some people yesterday evening had turned up at the facility and were actually standing outside unaware what had happened. "It's obviously very difficult for the council to communicate exactly what had happened given the short notice, but I think it's now important that we have a full and open discussion to allow people to know exactly what is going on." Earlier, the mayor of Castlereagh said he hoped the closure of the east Belfast centre was a temporary measure. The mayor, the DUP's Jack Beattie, said he did not think people should be alarmed. "The (council) officer from Belfast, who are taking over this facility, had come in and found a small area somewhere not open to the public and he said there was some of this asbestos showing," he said. "Our officers, not wanting to do the wrong thing, had decided in the afternoon that they would close it and further investigate it. "The health and safety people will come in and have a look at it and then a report will come out." In a statement on its website on Friday, Castlereagh Council said asbestos had been found "in a previously unrecorded and difficult to access area". The asbestos was discovered during a building management survey. The council said further survey work was ongoing and the Health and Safety Executive NI (HSENI) was working with them. "As a precautionary measure, the council has taken immediate action to close the centre until the full results of the survey is known," the statement said. "It should be noted that materials containing asbestos are commonly found in buildings of a similar age, however with regular monitoring and management the risk is negligible." Kerry, who led Great Britain's women to gold at the 2016 Olympics, was taken ill on 15 July in South Africa. The 46-year-old has been receiving treatment in hospital in Johannesburg and is set to return to England "for a further period of rest and recovery". Kerry is expected to return to work in September. England took bronze at the World League Semi-Final with a 5-2 win over Argentina in Johannesburg at the weekend. Kerry was absent through illness, having missed his side's final two group games. "Danny's health has remained our sole and absolute priority," said England Hockey performance director Ed Barney. "We wish him the very best over the coming weeks as he continues his recovery." Kerry has overseen the most successful era in the history of the England and Great Britain women's teams. He led them to the 2012 Olympic bronze medal - the nation's first Olympic hockey medal in 20 years - and to the World Cup bronze medal, two Commonwealth Games medals, four European Championship medals and two Champions Trophy medals. Under Kerry, Great Britain won a first Olympic hockey gold medal by beating defending champions the Netherlands in Rio two years ago. Kerry expressed his "huge thanks and debt of gratitude" to the doctors who treated him in South Africa, and to England team doctor Cath Lester. He added: "I would also like to convey how proud I am of how both players and staff continued through the tournament in such a professional manner, particularly during the Saturday I was admitted."

McIntyre cited his own side's run of nine wins from their last 16 games last season to retain their top-flight spot. "I think they have a chance," he told BBC Scotland. You just have to look at ourselves for that from last season. They have definitely got a chance. "They just need that bit of luck and to put their chances away when they come." The clubs meet in Dingwall with Mixu Paatelainen's basement side looking to build momentum after beating Hearts last time out. "They have certainly added to their squad," McIntyre noted. "They have a lot of strength and height in their team now and are a major threat at set-plays. "They have added that since Mixu has come in and still have some good young players there, so we have to be wary of that. "They had a great result last time and we were that team last year - fighting and scratching for everything. "United will look to keep charging on to get as many points as possible to try to get out of it." With only eight points separating County, in fourth, and Kilmarnock - their next opponents on Tuesday - in 11th, McIntyre admits it is a "big week" for the Highland outfit's hopes of maintaining their top-six status. "When you have been in the top six most of the season, it would be a natural reaction to consider it a massive disappointment if we didn't make it at this late stage," he added. "But we have got to earn that. We don't have any given right to be in there. "We have been fighting relegation for the last three years, so we have it all to do. We have got to prove it."

Ross County boss Jim McIntyre believes Saturday's opponents Dundee United can stay up despite being 11 points adrift at the foot of the Premiership.

Phil Cook, of the Association of UK Course Measurers, re-measured it after runners questioned the distance. Mr Cook said he could not pinpoint a specific location where an error was made by organisers. He said: "This obviously doesn't affect people who ran for charity. But if it was for an official time, unfortunately you haven't got it." The event, held on Sunday 1 March, was criticised by some runners after they found their personal best times were faster than expected. After concerns were raised, St David's Hospice, which organised the race, said it believed the distance was correct. Chief executive Emma Saysell said: "As far as we're concerned the course was measured by an accredited professional. "The course length was accurate based on what they told us." The entire frontage of the home in Cheltenham collapsed and garden walls were flattened. The attack on the home on Tewkesbury Road took place early on Wednesday evening. A lorry, thought to be the one used, was later found burnt out in a field off nearby Withybridge Lane, Gloucestershire Police said. According to the Land Registry, the house is owned by John Connors, who was jailed in 2012 with four other members of his family, after being found guilty of keeping a private workforce. In 2014 he was ordered to pay just over £300,000 as part of a proceeds of crime hearing. The house was put up for sale earlier this year, but the estate agent dealing with the sale was unable to tell the BBC whether it had yet been sold. Gloucestershire Police said enquiries were ongoing. BBC Radio Gloucestershire reporter David Smith said: "It's quite a sizeable house, a nice house, with gable windows built into the roof. "Now the entire ground floor has gone. There is nothing left of it. There is brickwork all over the floor." The Community Health Council (CHC) wants to hear about people's experiences of in-patient services. It comes after a report into care at the Tawel Fan ward of Glan Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire, said patients were "kept like animals". The first public sessions are at Cefni Hospital on Anglesey on Tuesday. Chief officer for the North Wales CHC, Geoff Ryall-Harvey, said: "One of our roles is to keep an eye on the health services in north Wales. We hope that the results of this survey will provide us with a clear picture of people's experiences." Hughes claims Shawcross received the voicemail from Pulis on Monday, two days after Stoke's defeat at West Brom. Shawcross, Stoke skipper for several years under Pulis, accused the Baggies of leaking the news of former Albion striker Saido Berahino's two-month ban. Berahino made his Stoke debut in the game and Hughes said: "We were annoyed with a number things." There was no handshake between the managers at the end of the game and Hughes added: "Any number of things surrounding the game were, in our view, unnecessary. "I was annoyed with their manager ringing up Ryan on the Monday morning after the game and calling him a loser. I wasn't too happy with that." On the message left for Shawcross, he added: "There was a voicemail left, and I haven't heard it. But Ryan wasn't too pleased. He tried to ring back and didn't get any answer." Pulis was asked about Shawcross' comments on Friday and replied: "Ryan has tried to ring me since [the accusation of the Berahino leak] and I will get back to him." Shawcross had said: "Someone from West Brom's side must have been speaking to the papers", regarding the leak of the ban. Berahino joined Stoke on 20 January and it was later revealed he served an eight-week suspension before leaving West Brom, reportedly for failing an out-of-competition drugs test. Matthew Williams attacked Cerys Yemm, 22, at the Sirhowy Arms Hotel in Argoed on 6 November 2014. PC Alan Cotterell said Williams "looked possessed" when he confronted him in the hotel room after a 999 call. Williams was Tasered four times, the officer claimed. He was arrested and later died. The Taser-trained officer told the Newport inquest he recognised Williams' name when it was given over the radio. PC Cotterell said: "I have never been more scared in my entire life. "I spoke to him but he was looking possessed. There was an angry sort of look and his eyes were almost all black." PC Cotterell said he had dealt with Williams a few times previously, the first being in 2012 when Williams was Tasered by another officer and it had not worked. He understood firearms officers were engaged to use deadly force if required, he said, adding there had been a discussion about whether the Taser-trained officers should go into the room or just "contain" the scene and wait for the firearms officers. PC Cotterell said he knew Williams was a "rather large, violent male" and shouted at him that he was armed and should move away from Ms Yemm's body. But Williams lay on the floor "snarling and growling" as he refused to listen. The PC then decided to fire his Taser at Williams, holding it for seven seconds instead of the usual five-second blast. Williams started to try and get up again "lifting up the officers as if we weren't even there". PC Cotterell said: "In my opinion he was trying to get to his feet to carry on the attack. "He would've caused further damage to Miss Yemm and we would've been struggling to restrain and contain him." Three more Taser shots were fired - one hitting him between the eyes. Williams was then arrested at the scene and later died. Earlier, Raymond Miles, who let police into Williams' room during the attack, told the jury he thought officers' actions were justified. Mr Miles described hearing "thumping and grunting" inside the room and said he was fearful "something truly awful" was happening. The husband of the Caerphilly county hostel's owner told the jury he opened the door to let officers in, after asking "if they were ready". He described seeing Williams on top of Ms Yemm, saying it was "clear that Cerys was dead" and that Williams was still attacking her face with "his hands on her eyes or in her mouth". Mr Miles agreed police needed to restrain Williams and needed to use force to do it and said he did not believe officers used too much. The inquest continues. He was responding to a question by MP Dominic Grieve about the Heathrow spur. Mr McLoughlin said: "I would now like to make clear that we do not intend to build the spur as part of Phase 1 or 2 of the HS2 scheme". HS2 is a planned high-speed rail network from London to Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. Previously the government had said any decision about the Heathrow spur would be delayed until the Davies Commission's report on future UK airport capacity had been completed. Responding to Mr Grieve's written Parliamentary question, the minister cited the Airports Commission review findings - published in November - which "indicated that an HS2 spur is highly unlikely to be necessary to support any expansion of Heathrow airport". Nick Hurd, Conservative MP for Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner tweeted he was "delighted" the government had dropped the idea and gave "credit to ministers for listening to our argument". He said the best way of connecting passengers to Heathrow was via Old Oak Common. He said it also simplified the case for extending the HS2 tunnel to protect Ickenham and Colne Valley. Paul Prentice, assistant news editor at Rail magazine said it was a "very sensible decision. Bearing in mind there is already a spur tunnel to Heathrow and another western link being built". Campaigner Lottie Jones from Hillingdon Against HS2 said the group was "delighted" with the decision but cautious that it was not "just a pre-election sweetener" that might be revoked. The two-day-old baby was found dead by doctors at the No 2 People's Hospital in Chongming County last Friday, said the Xinhua news agency. Those arrested are a doctor and the baby's grandfather, who is accused of injecting the baby with chemicals. Cleft lips are a common birth defect but easily corrected. Cleft palates, where a baby is born with a hole in the roof of the mouth, are more severe. The condition causes feeding difficulties and can also lead to problems with hearing and speech. Xinhua said initial investigations indicated the grandfather had killed the baby by injecting him with potassium chloride, a drug used to treat potassium deficiency but which can stop the heart when used incorrectly. The doctor, from the gynaecology and obstetrics department, is accused of supplying the drug and telling the grandfather how to use it, Chinese media reported. Beam International (Future Smile in China), one of several charities which carries out free surgery for the condition, told the BBC that about one in 600 babies born in China each year have a cleft lip or palate. Surgery for cleft lips can cost between 5,000 ($800; £520) and 7,000 yuan in China, and for cleft palates up to 10,000 yuan, said the charity's China director, Shan Li. Babies who struggle to feed and whose families cannot afford treatment or find a charity to help them would often not survive, she said, while some people may have to save for years to pay for the surgery. There have been previous reports of families abandoning such babies. In May this year, one baby with a cleft palate was found alive in the Guangxi region, 10 days after being left in the countryside. An editorial in the People's Daily on Friday said the baby's death should be cause for reflection in China, and that many people were ill-informed about the condition. "Families are obsessed with advantage at birth, and any small flaw would sound the alarm. This kind of mind-set has to be corrected by modern child-bearing science and medical knowledge," it said. The paper said China should work harder to educate people about congenital diseases, and that the "government needs to play a key role in helping them". A yellow "be aware" warning is in place ahead of a band of heavy rain moving in from the west on Wednesday evening. It should clear by Thursday morning. It comes as diversions were put in place at two locations on the Pembrokeshire coastal path after cliff falls damaged the route. Recent heavy rain has been blamed. Anthony Richards, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority's access manager, said: "The diversions are clearly signposted and we would ask that people follow these temporary routes while work to re-align the path is being completed." The current closures and concerns on the 186-mile national trail are: Wales saw the highest level of rainfall across the UK in December, although it was parts of northern England which bore the brunt of the floods. The latest Met Office weather warning is in place for Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Neath Port Talbot, Newport, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Swansea, Torfaen and the Vale of Glamorgan. Official figures showed GDP grew by 0.8%, having shrunk by 0.2% in the previous three months. Scotland outstripped the UK as a whole, which saw growth of just 0.2% in the first three months of the year. The latest figures showed Scottish production grew by 3.1%, while the services industry expanded by 0.3%. Construction contracted by 0.7%. On an annual basis, the Scottish economy grew by 0.7% Economic forecasters had warned recently that it was "in the balance" whether the latest figures would show any improvement in the Scottish economy. A recent report from economists at the Fraser of Allander Institute said Scotland seemed to be "stuck in a cycle of weak growth". It predicted that growth would pick up over the next few years, but was "likely to continue to lag behind the UK". The EY Scottish Item Club also warned the Scottish economy was showing signs of slowing faster than the rest of the UK as a result of fading consumer spending and firms remaining reluctant to invest. However, a Royal Bank of Scotland survey released last week found Scottish firms were confident of expansion over the remainder of 2017, despite reporting "modest" growth in the three months to June. Its business monitor suggested the weak pound had offered some comfort to the nation's exporters and tourism sector. The mother of six from south London, who cannot be named, was found guilty of fraud and child abuse. She was sentenced to seven and a half years after Croydon Crown Court heard she claimed £375,000 in benefits. She duped doctors for over a decade - convincing them to insert feeding tubes into her son and daughter's stomachs. The woman told specialists her daughter had stomach problems and her son had asthma. Judge Elizabeth Smaller said she had forced the children to "live double lives to fall in with your deception". She said doctors believed her "because why would a parent present their child as ill when they were not?" Dr Eveline Knight-Jones, who prepared the paediatric overview for the trial, said: "In London it is all too easy for fabricated illness cases to attend several different hospitals some distance from their local hospital, because there are so many hospitals, particularly specialist hospitals." Most of the health professionals the children saw took what the mother said about them "at face value," the court heard. Jurors were told the mother was "resistant" to attempts to investigate the causes of the alleged symptoms and refused to allow one child to be admitted to hospital for a two-week review. The defence claimed she suffered from a severe anxiety disorder, which caused her to "catastrophise" and overstate her children's medical symptoms. The court heard she received £287,800 in income support payments between 2002 and 2013 as well as disability living allowance. She also claimed to be a single mother but was living with her partner, the children's father. Det Sgt Stuart Parsons, said: "It is staggering to think that the mother's wilful actions resulted in the children undergoing unnecessary surgical and medical interventions. "She lied at every opportunity, presenting herself as a lone parent coping with ill and vulnerable children. "The reality was that she resided with her partner and fabricated her children's conditions for personal financial gain." A serious case review has yet to report its findings. It brings civil law, where a man was only allowed one wife, into line with customary law, where some cultures allow multiple partners. Controversy surrounded an amendment to the bill, supported by many male MPs, allowing men to take more wives without consulting existing spouses. Traditionally, first wives are supposed to give prior approval. Kenya's same-sex marriages Last month, female MPs walked out of parliament in disgust after their male counterparts voted through the amendment. They argued that a decision to take on another wife would affect the whole family, including the financial position of other spouses. The bill was also opposed by Christian leaders who urged the president not to sign it into law, saying it undermined Christian principles of marriage and family. "The tone of that bill, if it becomes law, would be demeaning to women since it does not respect the principle of equality of spouses in the institution of marriage," Archbishop Timothy Ndambuki, from the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK), was quoted by Kenya's Standard newspaper as saying. The marriage legislation has been under discussion for several years and some initial proposals were scrapped at committee stages. It has abolished the practice of unofficial traditional marriages which were never registered and could be ended without any legal divorce proceedings. But plans to ban the payment of bride prices were dropped - although a person must be 18 to marry and this now applies to all cultures. MPs did reject the committee amendment which said a woman should only be entitled to 30% of matrimonial property after death or divorce. The law now allows for equal property and inheritance rights - previously a woman had to prove her contribution to the couple's wealth. However, the BBC's Frenny Jowi in the capital, Nairobi, says this aspect of the legislation could create chaos in polygamous marriages. The law stipulates that a wife is entitled to an equal share of whatever the couple acquired during their marriage but in the case of multiple partners it is going to be difficult to determine what each spouse is entitled to if one of them divorces or their husband dies, she says. There had also been a proposal to recognise co-habiting couples, known in Kenya as "come-we-stay" relationships, after six months, but this too was dropped. It would have allowed a woman to seek maintenance for herself and any children of the union, had the man left. The Harvard School of Public Health team said high levels of pollution had been linked to a doubling of autism in their study of 1,767 children. They said tiny particulate matter, which can pass from the lungs to the bloodstream, may be to blame. Experts said pregnant women should minimise their exposure, although the link had still to be proven. Air pollution is definitely damaging. The World Health Organization estimates it causes 3.7 million deaths each year. The study, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, investigated any possible link with autism. It analysed 245 children with autism and 1,522 without. By looking at estimated pollution exposure during pregnancy, based on the mother's home address, the scientists concluded high levels of pollution were more common in children with autism. The strongest link was with fine particulate matter - invisible specks of mineral dust, carbon and other chemicals - that enter the bloodstream and cause damage throughout the body. Yet, the research is unable to conclusively say that pollution causes autism as there could be other factors that were not accounted for in the study. There is a large inherited component to autism, but lead researcher Dr Marc Weisskopf said there was mounting evidence that air pollution may play a role too. He said: "The specificity of our findings for the pregnancy period, and third trimester in particular, rules out many other possible explanations for these findings. "The evidence base for a role for maternal exposure to air pollution increasing the risk of autism spectrum disorders is becoming quite strong. "This not only gives us important insight as we continue to pursue the origins of autism spectrum disorders, but as a modifiable exposure, opens the door to thinking about possible preventative measures." Prof Frank Kelly, the director of the environmental research group at King's College London, told the BBC: "I think if it was this study by itself I wouldn't take much notice, but it's now the fifth that has come to the same conclusion. "It is biologically plausible, the placenta is there to ensure the foetus has optimal supply of nutrients, but if chemicals are entering the mother's body then the foetus will have access to those too. "Women should be made aware of the potential links so they don't get excessive exposure." John Swinney's comments on BBC Scotland came in response to a threat of industrial action by Scotland's largest teaching union. The EIS is worried that new school qualifications will lead to a big increase in teacher workloads. Mr Swinney said he was willing to listen to all concerns. The Scottish government has made education its top priority - specifically, closing the attainment gap which exists between pupils from the least and most deprived backgrounds. The EIS has said it planned to ballot its members on action which could see teachers boycotting additional work and assessment related to the new qualifications. Asked on the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme if Mr Swinney had been able to head off the dispute, he responded: "I've only been in office for four days, so I've not managed to get there yet." 'Great mission' The education secretary added: "I want to have meaningful discussions with a whole range of stakeholders and I simply say to the trade unions - I say to everybody frankly in this debate - you've got a willing pair of ears here who's prepared to listen to the issues and the challenges. "My mission is clear. My mission is to close the attainment gap in Scottish education. "I can't frankly think of a greater mission to have today in Scotland, I'm immensely privileged to have that, and I just ask people to give me a bit of space and time to try to address these issues and deliver on my top priority." Mr Swinney was also asked if planned standardised tests in Scotland's primary schools and in S3 would be marked externally. He responded: "It will vary from age to age." "When we're looking at some of the standardised assessments that will be under taken in Primary 1 classes within Scotland, I don't see the need for those to be independently certified." Clarity call Asked about Primary 7 or S3, the minister said: "Give me a little bit of time to work out specifically the detail of how we will take that forward. "You're asking me to go to a very precise point and I'm not prepared to go there, four days into the job of being the education secretary." Mr Swinney also said he had no intention of interfering with the independence of the Scottish Qualifications Authority, which deals with the qualifications framework. Scottish Conservative education spokeswoman Liz Smith said clarity was needed on the issue. "I have today written to the cabinet secretary to seek clarification about whether or not the new tests within primary schools will be externally marked," she said, adding: "Parents and teachers want a straight answer about this as quickly as possible." Several experienced players, including captain Barry Middleton, are being rested for the trip to India. "It's not the biggest tournament but it's certainly a key one for us," Crutchley told BBC Sport. "It allows me to look at some players with an eye on who's going to be pushing for Rio places next August." Crutchley has taken a squad of 18 to the event in Raipur, where they have been drawn in Pool A along with world number ones Australia, Canada and Belgium. GB's first game is on Saturday, 28 November against the Canadians. "Guys who've played a lot of international tournaments over the last few years, we've left a lot of them at home," said Crutchley. "We have 29 full-time athletes on the programme so it allows me to look at the broader squad against the best in the world and see whether they might be pushing for Rio places come August next year." Among the rookies is forward Alan Forsyth who made a scoring debut for Great Britain in October against Argentina. "It'd be a dream come true if I could play for Team GB at the Olympics," said Forsyth. Media playback is not supported on this device "This tournament is important with Rio coming around but the main thing is to get to know the team more and make myself better. Then, never say never." The event in the central Indian city of Raipur is the culmination of qualifying rounds played over the last two years. Hosts India, Netherlands, Germany and Argentina make up the other pool. GB women take part in their World League Final tournament in Rosario, Argentina, from 5-13 December. The incident happened in Dobsons Way in Bessbrook on Friday morning. The victim was taken to hospital for treatment but later died from his injuries. Police are appealing for any witnesses to contact officers in Newry by calling 101, quoting reference number 399 of 11/08/17. England and West Ham legend Sir Trevor Brooking is spearheading an appeal to plant trees to commemorate football's involvement in the 1914-1918 conflict. The idea is to dedicate a grove at the World War One centenary wood near Epsom, Surrey to each league team. A digital archive will also be created at the National Football Museum. "There were 60-70 teams whose players who fought in war," said Sir Trevor. "The link was always there. "Football is the national game and in conflict like that, people look for something to bond together. "At the Battle of the Somme they actually kicked footballs sometimes when they went over the top, out of the trenches. "And there was the Christmas truce where soldiers from Germany and Britain had a game of football." Bradford Park Avenue player Donald Bell was the first English professional footballer to enlist in the British Army. He was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions on 5 July 1916 at Horseshoe Trench on the Somme. He was killed in action on 10 July 1916. Walter Tull was one of England's first black footballers, playing for Tottenham Hotspur and Northampton. He became the British Army's first black officer and was killed in action leading his men into battle on the Western front in 1918. The National Football Museum is working with The Woodland Trust on the For Club and Country project. As well as planting trees at the Langley Vale wood, a digital archive of each team's links with World War One will be created at the museum in Manchester. "Every football fan needs to get involved and make sure their club is remembered in the football groves at Langley Vale Wood," said Sir Trevor. "If you love football as much as I do, please get your team represented and see your own name listed on the supporters' roll of honour." Under plans to be submitted on Wednesday, EU funds could be deployed within Europe in the same way they are used to help crises outside the bloc. The UN has warned of a humanitarian disaster caused by a build-up of migrants on Greece's borders. Thousands of asylum seekers remain trapped on the border with Macedonia. The plan to be submitted by the EU's executive body, the European Commission, means EU aid agencies would for the first time work directly with the UN and other groups inside Europe, rather than disbursing money to individual member states. EU officials said the aid plan would allocate 300m euros (£233m; $325m) this year to help any EU state deal with the migration crisis. In all, 700m euros would be made available over three years. However, BBC Europe correspondent Chris Morris says that even if such funding can be deployed quickly, the EU also needs to stem the flow of new arrivals. That would mean better co-operation with Turkey, he adds. Greece has asked the European Commission for nearly 500m euros in assistance to help care for 100,000 asylum seekers. About 24,000 migrants in Greece are in need of housing and more than 8,000 are stuck in worsening conditions on the border with Macedonia. The crossing at Idomeni has closed following protests by migrants desperate to continue their journey to countries further north, particularly Germany. Despite the border closure, thousands more migrants and refugees are still travelling to Idomeni. With the camp overwhelmed, many have been forced to wait on buses and at petrol stations along the route from Athens. Some migrants have been stranded at the overburdened camp for more than a week. Caroline Haga, an emergency co-ordinator for the International Red Cross (ICRC), said the Greek military had set up three more border camps near Idomeni but all are already full, with about 2,000 people at each. On Tuesday, the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) warned that Europe was "on the cusp of a largely self-induced humanitarian crisis". Spokesman Adrian Edwards said crowded conditions on Greece's borders were leading to shortages of food, shelter, water and sanitation. Last week Macedonia began refusing entry to Afghan migrants and imposing stricter document controls on Syrians and Iraqis, slowing the passage to a trickle. Then on Monday, Macedonia firmly closed the gate that separates it from the camp, citing the closure by Serbia of its northern border. A similar knock-on effect has happened previously as Eastern European countries attempt to reduce the number of migrants crossing their borders. Frustration at the closure boiled over on Monday and scores of migrants clashed with security guards. Some attempted to smash through a fence, prompting the guards to fire tear gas and rubber bullets. European Council President Donald Tusk is due to visit Croatia and Macedonia on Wednesday before moving on for talks in both Greece and Turkey in advance of a special EU summit next Monday. The central bank is not expected to raise rates, but investors will be watching for any clues on the timing of an interest rate increase. In Australia, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 closed down 0.2% at 5,335.20 points. Shares of the country's biggest lender by assets, National Australia Bank, closed down 2.2%. Investors were disappointed after the bank's cash earnings for the period missed expectations. NAB posted a 15.5% rise in full-year cash profit to 5.84bn Australian dollars ($4.15bn; £2.71bn), below forecasts of about A$6bn. Australia's headline consumer price index also came in less than expected for the three months to September, rising 0.5% quarter on quarter. Analysts said the number may see the country's central bank cut lending rates again. "The fact that inflation is lower than expected and below target, despite a 20% plus fall in the value of the [Australian dollar] over the last year adds to the case for the RBA [Reserve Bank of Australia] to cut the cash rate again in order to offset the potential negative impact on the economy of big bank mortgage rate hikes," said AMP Capital's chief economist Shane Oliver. In China, the Shanghai Composite closed down 1.7% at 3,375.20, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index dropped 0.8% to 22,956.57. South Korea's benchmark Kospi index closed down 0.1% at 2,042.51. The one bright spot in the region was Japan's Nikkei 225 index, which closed up 0.7% to 18,903.02 ahead of company earnings due out later. Speculation that Japan's central bank may expand its stimulus package when it meets on Friday may have also fuelled investor sentiment, analysts said. Elsewhere in Iraq, though, the jihadist group still controls a number of towns. IS designates Tal Afar as part of its self-titled "Jazeera Province", which encompasses areas to the west of Mosul, near the Syrian border. Tal Afar was a hub for Sunni Muslim militancy long before the group's arrival. Its Shia population, including a large number of ethnic Turkmen, suffered attacks that gave rise to inter-communal tensions and provided ripe conditions for an effortless IS takeover in 2014. In addition, Tal Afar's strategic location near the Syrian border was ideal for the movement of IS militants and weapons, and this soon led to it becoming one of the group's headquarters in Iraq. For months now the town has been surrounded by the Shia-dominated paramilitary Popular Mobilisation forces, who are awaiting orders to advance. In the western province of Anbar, IS still fully controls three towns - al-Qaim, Rawa and Ana. Along with the town of Albu Kamal in eastern Syria, these areas make up IS's self-styled, cross-border "Euphrates Province". The name derives from the River Euphrates, which flows through the two countries. The province has great strategic importance to IS as the group uses routes through it to transfer fighters, weapons and goods between Iraq and Syria. It is also a symbol of the jihadists' intention to eradicate all the region's frontiers and lay to rest the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement - something many Arabs resent. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has vowed to retake Rawa, Ana and al-Qaim in the next phase of military operations against IS. IS captured the district of Hawija, south-west of oil-rich city of Kirkuk, in June 2014. The large district includes the towns of Hawija, Riyad, Rashad, Zab and Abbasi - all of which IS still holds and considers part of "Kirkuk Province". The jihadist group has also laid siege to an estimated 150,000 civilians in the area, many of whom suffer from shortages of food and medicine. Hawija came under the spotlight in April 2014, when Iraqi forces raided an anti-government protest camp by Sunnis in the town and clashed with protesters, reportedly leaving 20 people dead. The heightened anti-government sentiment in the aftermath of that incident made the town vulnerable to an IS takeover. The presence of IS in Hawija has been widely blamed for ongoing jihadist attacks in the wider Kirkuk region, as well as in neighbouring Salahuddin and further afield in Diyala. The group's media has continued to publish propaganda from Hawija, showing "normal" daily life there as well as the summary killings of alleged informants. The Iraqi government was expected to recapture the town from IS before heading to Mosul in October 2016, and was criticised by local officials for failing to do so. Quins, who will face either Montpellier or Newport Gwent Dragons in Lyon on 13 May, led 13-6 at half-time following Wales centre Jamie Roberts' touchdown. Nick Evans then scored a try on his first appearance since breaking his leg in February to extend the hosts' lead. George Lowe added a third to give Conor O'Shea a chance of silverware in what could be his final game as Quins boss. The 45-year-old Irishman, who has been director of rugby since 2010, is leaving to become head coach of Italy in the summer. With Harlequins' hopes of reaching the Premiership play-offs all but over already, O'Shea's swansong now looks set to come in the final of the competition he won with the club in 2011. However, their semi-final victory was marred by an off-the-ball incident involving England prop Joe Marler, who appeared to kick Arnaud Heguy in the head while the Grenoble hooker was on the floor. Marler, playing for the first time since serving a two-match ban for calling Wales forward Samson Lee a "Gypsy boy" during the Six Nations, was not sanctioned by referee John Lacey at the time but could yet be cited after it was picked up by television cameras. In unseasonably cold and damp conditions at The Stoop, Quins looked in command from the moment Roberts crossed from close range inside the opening 11 minutes. The highlight of the semi-final was fly-half Evans' second-half try, two minutes after his introduction from the bench to a superb ovation. Victory leaves Harlequins, who have now won eight of their nine home matches against French opposition in the Challenge Cup, 80 minutes away from lifting the trophy for a record fourth time. Harlequins: Brown; Yarde, Lowe, Roberts, Visser; Botica, Care (capt); Marler, Gray, Jones, Horwill, Twomey, Robshaw, Wallace, Easter. Replacements: Ward, Lambert, Sinckler, Matthews, Clifford, Dickson, Evans, Chisholm. Grenoble: Aplon; Mignot, Farrell, Hunt, Dupont; Wisniewski, McLeod; Taumalolo, Heguy, Edwards, Hand (capt), Percival, Diaby, Alexandre, Setephano. Replacements: Jammes, Barcella, Desmaison, Marie, Vanderglas, Hart, Gengenbacher, Estebanez. Referee: John Lacey (Ire). Rorquals, a family that includes blue and humpback whales, feed by engulfing huge volumes of water and food, sometimes bigger than themselves. Researchers made the discovery by inadvertently stretching a thick cable they found in the jaw of a fin whale. Most nerves are fragile and inelastic, so this find is a first in vertebrates. The work is reported in the journal Current Biology. A Canadian research team had travelled to Iceland to investigate some of these whales' other anatomical adaptations to "lunge feeding" - things like their muscles, or the remarkable sensory organ in their jaws, discovered in 2012. They were working with specimens in collaboration with commercial whalers. "It's probably one of the only places in the world where you can do this sort of work, because these animals are so huge that even getting in through the skin is something you can't do without having heavy machinery around," said Prof Wayne Vogl, an anatomist at the University of British Columbia and the study's first author. When you are working with a 20m fin whale, it's important to have the right equipment, he said. "If a heart falls on you, it could kill you." It was Prof Vogl's co-author Robert Shadwick, a zoologist at the same university, who sparked the serendipitous discovery. "We were looking at the muscle in the floor of the mouth and there were these long white cords," Prof Vogl told the BBC. "Bob picked one up - about 3ft of it - grabbed each end and stretched it. He turned to me and said, 'Hey, look at this!' "We thought it was a blood vessel." This thick, white cord could stretch to twice its length and repeatedly sprang back to its original size. But when the team cut it open, it did not have a hollow inside like a blood vessel; instead there was a small, yellowish core running through the middle. "I realised this was a nerve, and it was very different from any other nerve I've ever seen," Prof Vogl said. Stretchiness is a very odd property for a nerve. These are the brain's cables for carrying messages around the body and in most cases if one of them is pulled and gets longer, it is bad news - as anyone with a nerve stretch injury, common in many sports, will testify. Where flexibility and a lot of movement are required, most animals simply have nerves that are a good safe length, with extra slack to be taken up if needed. So how do the whale's big jaw nerves manage to stretch "like bungee cords", as Prof Vogl and his team found? When they looked at the nerves using a microscope, the team saw that the nerve fibres themselves were wound tightly into the central core and "unfold" as the cable stretches. The thick white layer around the outside, meanwhile, is full of tough, stretchy fibres of a protein called elastin - also found in human skin and blood vessels. Along with the stretchy components, this specialised coating has coiled, rope-like collagen fibres that can unwind up to a point, but will then be strong enough to stop the nerve from over-stretching. "They've used building blocks that are present in other animals but they've used them in different ways to produce this stretchy nerve," Dr Vogl explained. Dr Guy Bewick, a neuroscientist at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, said he was surprised and impressed by the finding. "I've studied nerves and muscles all my career, and one of the things that you really try and avoid - in the clinical situation or just personally - is stretching your nerves," Dr Bewick told BBC News. "Nerves are generally really quite fragile things; they're quite well protected and they don't withstand stretch well at all. "This looks like a really neat trick to get around that problem, which the whale obviously needs to do because its mouth inflates so much." Having functioning nerves is crucial to the whale's survival, Dr Bewick added. After these beasts take a gulp, they strain it through their baleen plates to keep the fish or krill, but let go of the water. "To squeeze the water out again, it needs to contract those huge muscles in the floor of the mouth. The muscles won't contract unless the nerves tell them to." In fact, evolutionary biologists have suggested that lunge feeding is the development that allowed whales to reach their colossal sizes. So stretchy nerves may be one of the key adaptations that produced these giants of the deep. Follow Jonathan on Twitter. Tuesday night's hearing, on the club's failure to pay disciplinary fees for undisclosed payments to players, is off as Ports officials are not available. A new date for the hearing has yet to be arranged by the Irish FA. The suspension was temporarily lifted after the IFA said the club had grounds for an appeal and a final decision will be made following the hearing. A £5,000 fine was imposed, along with a transfer embargo preventing the club from signing players on professional terms until June 2017, after irregularities were found in payments made to former striker Gary Twigg. It is understood that an initial cheque sent by Portadown to the IFA 'bounced'. The fine was later paid but the IFA's Disciplinary Committee decided to keep the the ban in place, although subsequently it was lifted until the appeal hearing. Portadown's opening league game against Coleraine was postponed as a result of the controversy. Another appeal by the club, against a 12-point deduction imposed after they were found to have paid Peter McMahon while he was registered as an amateur, will also be heard by the IFA's Appeals Committee at the same meeting. Neil Lennon said his side's performance was unacceptable in the 1-1 draw against Raith Rovers, with McGinn one of three players he singled out. The midfielder believes the strong words were justified. "He'd have been having a go at me because he knows I can do more," the 22-year-old Scotland cap said. "He does that because he wants the best out of the players. Me, Jase [Cummings], [Fraser] Fyvie, the ones who were mentioned, we can all do more. "The manager is the first person to praise us when we do well, so you can't be crying about the negatives. "We've got to turn it around and prove to the manager that we can do it. "That's what he wanted from us, a reaction, and we'll give him that on Wednesday night [against Hearts in their fifth-round replay]." Lennon says that he did not intend to single the three players out, because he felt the team as a whole let their standards drop for the Championship game. And the manager expects to see a reaction at Easter Road, when Hearts travel across the city for their replay. "I've not been able to do much with them in the last couple of days," said Lennon. "We only had 14 training today, so we kept it pretty light. "They're buoyant. They know they dropped their standards by a long way on Saturday for 45 minutes, but the last half-hour was very good. "In terms of their character, they've got that in abundance. In terms of their application and the way they approached the game, letting the malaise set in in the first half, they know that's not acceptable. "I singled a few players out, but they were the first ones that came to mind. "I could have singled nine or 10 out, it was nothing personal. "A few of them, I don't know if they had one eye on Wednesday and maybe that was me having a backhanded go at them for that. We can't pick and choose our games." Hibs knocked Hearts out of the completion in a replay at Easter Road last season, before going on to win the competition for the first time in 114 years. Lennon has consistently maintained that securing promotion to the Premiership is the priority for the campaign, but he insists Hibs "want to defend the trophy". He expects an "open, high-energy, fast-paced" game at Easter Road and believes there is little between the two sides, despite Hearts being fourth in the Premiership and Hibs top of the second tier. "I can see it being a tight affair again," Lennon said. "We'll go in as slight underdogs again, which is good, I don't mind that. "People seem to think the pitch will suit Hearts and the way they want to play, but the flipside of that is that it will suit Hibs as well and the way we want to play. "I expect the game to be feisty, to be pretty even and maybe a goal or two will separate the two teams." Among the detainees is Zhang Kai, a prominent Christian lawyer, as well as pastors and activists. They were rounded up on 25 August, the evening before a planned meeting with David Saperstein, the US envoy for religious freedoms. He described it as a "particularly alarming development". "These detentions fit into the disturbing pattern of state intimidation of public interest lawyers, internet activists, journalists, religious leaders," Mr Saperstein told reporters, saying other people who had met or tried to meet him had faced harassment. "They clearly underscore the precariousness of religious life in China," he said. "It is a source of great concern to us and we are calling on the government to immediately release all these human rights activists and religious leaders." Mr Zhang has been representing Christians in Zhejiang province, where the authorities have been cracking down on Christianity, ordering churches to remove visible crosses and demolishing some church buildings. He was arrested in Wenzhou, along with his assistants and a number of others. His lawyer told BBC Chinese that Mr Zhang was accused of "undermining national security" and "disturbing social order" and was under police surveillance. Some of those detained with him have since been released. Rights group Amnesty International says it believes some 240 activists and lawyers have been detained or questioned in China since July. Conor Munro attacked Nicole Jarrett after she poured his whisky down the sink at the supported accommodation in Arbroath where he was staying. A court heard the attack was carried out in front of staff who did not intervene "for their own safety." Sheriff Alastair Brown had sent Munro's case to the High Court in Edinburgh, which has greater sentencing powers. Munro, 24, admitted the offences, which were committed on 21 September last year. Judge Lord Ericht said Munro had subjected his victim to "a terrifying attack" and in addition to the prison sentence said he would impose a 12-month supervised release order on him. One of the conditions of the supervision period is that Munro must inform his supervisor of any developing romantic relationships. It came after a right-wing group threatened to attack cinemas screening his latest movie starring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan. Anti-Pakistan sentiment has grown after a militant attack killed 18 soldiers in Indian-administered Kashmir last month. Social media is divided over Johar's statement and what it says about India. The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), a regional right-wing party, has vowed that it will not allow the movie to be screened. 'Intolerant India': Is criticism against Modi's BJP justified? The cadres of the party have traditionally resorted to violence to fulfil their demands, and have threatened other actors in the past, including Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. A number of small cinema hall owners fear violence and have said that they will not screen Johar's new film, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (Difficulties of the heart). Johar appealed to the MNS to allow the film to be released, and said, "for me my country comes first. Nothing else matters but my country. I always felt that the best way to express your patriotism is through love and that's all I always tried to do through my work, and my cinema." He added that "over 300 Indian people in my crew have put their blood, sweat and tears in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and I don't think it is fair to them to face any kind of turbulence on account of other fellow Indians". The video statement has caused a lot of chatter on social media and in the Indian media, with many condemning the pressure put on Johar and pointing out that it signalled a worrying trend in India to wear your nationalism on your sleeve. The president-elect upset almost 40 years of US practice in the region by taking a call from the Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen. It was an unprecedented breach of the protocol that undergirds the One China Policy, which says Taiwan is part of China and not an independent country. And it raised questions about whether Mr Trump would follow through on campaign pledges to take a tougher line with Beijing. China has identified Taiwan as its most important core interest. Since the Kuomintang retreated to the island in 1949 following defeat in the civil war, China has insisted Taiwan is a renegade province that will eventually be reunited with the mainland. In 1979 the US agreed to go along with this approach, deciding to recognise Beijing instead of Taipei. The One China Policy remains the foundation of that relationship. Given what's at stake some China experts and politicians have suggested that Donald Trump blundered unknowingly on to sensitive territory with his penchant for improvised diplomacy. "I don't think there was any strategy behind it and I think the effort to push out a story line or a narrative that this was actually a well-thought-about change in direction is highly dubious," the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, told the BBC, saying conflicting accounts made the exchange sound haphazard. Mr Trump's transition team did send mixed messages. His Vice President-elect Michael Pence initially played down the conversation as a courtesy call initiated by Taiwan that was not about policy. But Mr Trump followed up with a confrontational flurry of tweets criticising Beijing's economic and security practices. He showed no remorse and made no gestures to reaffirm the One China Policy. Numerous reports since have detailed the influence of China hawks and Taiwan proponents amongst his advisors. And it's emerged that the call was brokered by the lobbyist and former republican senator Bob Dole, who Taipei has been paying to gain access to Mr Trump's inner circle. "I think it was prearranged and deliberate and Donald Trump knew what it was about," says Walter Lohman, Director of Asian Studies at the conservative Heritage Foundation. So what was it about? In and of itself, the call is not a policy shift. The One China agreement doesn't specifically prohibit contact between American and Taiwanese leaders, although past US presidents have refrained from picking up the phone so as not to upset China. And right from 1979, there was criticism in Washington over US treatment of Taiwan, says Robert Daly, Director for the Kissinger Institute on China at the Woodrow Wilson Center. That's especially so among Republicans, who have longstanding personal and in some cases business ties with the democratic country that seems a more like-minded ally than Beijing. The talk among Mr Trump's advisers is not about recognising Taiwan, but regularising the way the US interacts with it, says Mr Lohman, which does not mean overturning the One China Policy. It's doubtful Beijing would see it that way. As for President-elect Trump, there is no policy yet on Taiwan, or on China more broadly - or even a discernible strategy. But there has been extraordinarily fiery campaign rhetoric. As a candidate, Mr Trump accused Beijing of "raping" the United States with its trade policies and threatened to levy a punishing tariff on Chinese goods. Hard-line Republicans have welcomed the Taiwan telephone call as evidence that Mr Trump the president would continue confronting China. "He showed the dictators in Beijing that he's not a pushover," Representative Dana Rohrabacher told Fox News. Others have suggested that the president-elect wants to use Taiwan as a bargaining chip for a better economic deal. 'This whole idea of finding ways to strengthen and increase the level of contact with and support for Taiwan is not only sure to drive China crazy, but at the same time give us some leverage over China," says Patrick Cronin at the Center for New American Security. "Because this could become the new normal if we're not happy with the overall relationship." Thus far, China has been fairly restrained, blaming Tsai Ing-wen for a "petty trick". The response to the Twitter tirade was tougher - an editorial in the official People's Daily warned that "creating troubles for the China-US relationship is creating troubles for the US itself." But Beijing still left diplomatic space to formulate a new relationship with the Trump administration. Robert Daly predicts a long adjustment period with a more adversarial tone, because the incoming administration appears to see the relationship as fundamentally competitive. That would potentially leave less room for the kind of co-operation President Obama emphasised on global issues such as climate change, and containing North Korea's nuclear militarisation. "The people advising Trump on Taiwan were pleased with the results (of the call)," Mr Daly says. "That likely means similar actions going forward." Mr Trump continues to send mixed signals. Just days after igniting a diplomatic firestorm over Taiwan, he soothed tensions by naming Iowa Governor Terry Branstad, a long-time friend of Beijing, as his Ambassador to China. Still, there are many ways China could respond to further provocations. And it would respond, says Meredith Sumpter of the Eurasiagroup, "in a direct and probably proportional way, but one that hurts US business and commercial interests". Economically, a lot of trade and investment is at stake. When it comes to security issues, Beijing could decide to be more or less aggressive on disputes in the South China Sea and on North Korea sanctions. And it has never dropped its threat of force to settle the status of Taiwan, so the Taiwanese people could end up paying the biggest price. One test of relations could come next month when Ms Tsai is expected to transit through the US on her way to Central America. Her office has denied reports that she will try to meet Mr Trump's transition team. Another could arise in April when the Treasury Department is set to publish a "currency" report that might prompt Mr Trump to act on his threats to label China a currency manipulator. Holly Brown was among 21 students on a field trip when the crash happened on the A38 in Birmingham on Friday. In a statement, her parents said they were "so proud" of the teenager's achievements. Flowers have been left outside John Taylor High School, in Barton-under-Needwood, Staffordshire. For more on this story and other Birmingham news or Staffordshire stories. West Midlands Police appealed for any witnesses who had not yet come forward to contact the force. Holly was confirmed dead at the scene of the crash which happened in the Castle Vale area of the city at about 09:00 BST. Another teenage girl was taken to hospital with minor injuries and other pupils were treated at the roadside. In their tribute, Holly's parents and twin sister Emma said: "You grasped every opportunity that life presented to you, displaying so much passion, enthusiasm and determination in pursuit of your dreams. "All this without forgetting to care about people, being there for others and having time for those that needed it. "We will miss you so much but you will always be in our thoughts, hearts and prayers." Birmingham City Council has confirmed one of its bin lorries was involved in the crash and said it would "be fully co-operating with all investigations". The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said the train operator had rejected a fresh set of proposals that could have resolved the dispute. The first walkout is due to start next week, threatening fresh disruption to Southern's services. Parent company Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) said it would press ahead with plans to modernise Southern. It said it would deliver 12 weeks' notice to conductors on Friday, terminating their contracts from 31 December, and they would be offered new contracts as on-board supervisors to start on 1 January. GTR set a deadline of noon for the union to accept changes to the role of guards and its introduction of Driver Only Operation. The union said it had proposed a transition period which would allow the current safety duties of guards to be retained. Strike dates announced by the RMT: "The union is angry and disappointed that a fresh set of proposals put forward that address both our issues and the company agenda have been rejected out of hand with barely a cursory glance," said RMT general secretary Mick Cash. "The travelling public will be rightly angry that the company have kicked back in our faces a chance to resolve this long-running dispute." GTR said it was deeply disappointed. "The RMT counter-proposal didn't come anywhere near our goals of modernising our train service for the benefit of passengers," said CEO Charles Horton. "What the RMT want to do is retain their power and control by insisting that our trains cannot run under any circumstances without a conductor on board, leading to more delays and cancellations. "I am incredibly sorry about the months of misery our passengers have suffered." Southern said nearly all 156 stations would have either a train or bus service of some kind on the strike days of 11, 12 and 13 October. It said it expected to run 61% of its normal, full, timetable. Despite a strong start from the visitors, Gareth Bale fired Wales ahead after the tireless Hal Robson-Kanu forced Serbia's Matija Nastasic into a mistake. An occasionally scrappy but absorbing encounter featured chances at both ends and, just moments after Bale hit the post, Mitrovic headed in to stun the Cardiff City Stadium into silence. With the Republic of Ireland's win in Austria taking them top of Group D, Serbia and Wales stay second and third - two and four points behind Martin O'Neill's men respectively. Having drawn their previous two games, it was imperative Wales did not lose more ground on their rivals in a tantalisingly tight group. And although the draw means Chris Coleman's men remain unbeaten, the four-point gap between them and the Republic of Ireland is a significant one with only one team able to qualify automatically from the group. It also sets up a mouthwatering match between the two sides in Dublin on 24 March. Relive Wales' draw against Serbia Wales will keep fighting, says Bale The pressure on Wales was increased before kick-off by the Republic's win in Austria, which momentarily moved Martin O'Neill's side three points clear at the top of Group D. Coleman boldly switched from his favoured 5-3-2 formation to a more attacking 4-4-2, and the changes from October's unexpected home draw against minnows Georgia included returns for influential midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen, as well as forward and Euro 2016 hero Robson-Kanu. Although a more narrow Wales side struggled as they were stretched by Serbia's width, Robson-Kanu's signature work ethic proved invaluable as he hustled Nastasic out of possession and fed Bale, whose low drive flew past Vladimir Stojkovic. Having featured only fleetingly for West Brom this season, Robson-Kanu's industrious running took its toll as he had to be replaced during the second half - his effort embodying a gruelling display from Wales. Midfielder Joe Ledley's exhaustion rendered him motionless on the ground before his late substitution. Wales could have doubled their lead through Real Madrid man Bale, whose low, right-footed shot came back off the post following Ramsey's pass. And the miss was to prove costly, as Newcastle striker Mitrovic found space between tiring defenders just a minute later to glance his header home and spark wild celebrations in the Serbian dugout. Serbia had won both their previous meetings with Wales by an aggregate score of 9-1, including a humiliating 6-1 thrashing for Coleman's men in Novi Sad in 2012. While Wales had enjoyed unprecedented success in subsequent years, Serbia found themselves in the international wilderness as they failed to qualify for a major tournament. However, they were unbeaten in this campaign and started this match in confident mood, captain Branislav Ivanovic denied an early goal as his header was cleared off the line. Initially shaken by Bale's opener, Slavoljub Muslin's side were a threat throughout the game and sensed a point might be in the offing as Wales tired - and eventually pounced with Mitrovic's header after 85 minutes. Serbia's frenzied celebrations spoke of their delight at claiming a point, maintaining their unbeaten record and simultaneously damaging Welsh hopes of finishing top of the group. Former Wales striker John Hartson on BBC Radio 5 live: "Wales could have had lady luck on their side, it could have been different. Serbia stayed in it and it was wonderful header from Aleksandar Mitrovic to level. "They put everything in but they are only on six points. We are still in there fighting but it is disappointing not to see games out. "We led against Georgia, took the lead twice against Austria and led for 55 minutes against Serbia. "It has all been Wales' wrongdoings. The expectation level has risen but the players have not done too much wrong. They have been committed and seen some really good performances. "Defensively, with a few minutes to go, Neil Taylor fails to stop the cross coming in. If he gets a yard closer and puts in that little bit more, it could be a clean sheet. Little things like that can make such a huge difference." Wales forward Gareth Bale: "We are so disappointed at the moment, we played great in the first half but then we faded. We dug in. It's one of those things, you go so close at one end and then they go up and score. "We believe we can still do it, we just need to keep working hard. At home we were confident, we were 1-0 up in the 85th minute, it's two points lost." Wales midfielder Joe Ledley: "You want to take the three points, we fought well today but credit to Serbia. We are still undefeated, let's keep positive. "Gareth Bale had just hit the post, if that goes in it's over. We are proud of our performance, it's Ireland away next and that's a must-win." Serbia captain and Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic: "It's a very important goal for us, we gave a lot of energy and we can be more than happy with a point. "Wales are very difficult to play, very strong on the counter attack and they scored an early goal. We have to look forward and think about the next game."

However the distinctive black-and-white stripes did not make their first appearance in an American shop until 1974 - because the laser technology used to read them did not exist. GS1 said the QR code was not a threat to the traditional linear barcode. A QR (Quick Response) code is an image made up of dots, which can contain more data than a barcode. "They have different purposes - the barcode on the side of a tin of beans is for point-of-sale scanning. It ensures the consumer is charged the right amount and updates stock records," said Gary Lynch, chief executive of GS1 UK. "The QR code's main purpose is to take the person that scans it to an extended multi media environment. Technically you can combine the two but nobody's asking for that right now." The first item to be scanned by a barcode was a packet of chewing gum in an Ohio supermarket in 1974. But the black-and-white stripes did not get a universal welcome, with some wine manufacturers refusing to incorporate barcodes onto their labels for aesthetic reasons. Now it occasionally doubles as body art, with US singer Pink among those who sport a barcode tattoo. "Barcodes are an icon and rightly so - we're quite pleased about it," said Mr Lynch. "But if one of my daughters had one in homage to her father I'd be rather upset." The 34-year-old made his Munster debut against Edinburgh in 2001 and has since made 154 appearances for the team. "Over the years I have been privileged to play in many fantastic Munster sides," said O'Connell. "I am excited by the prospect of playing my part in achieving success with Munster and Ireland." O'Connell has won 88 caps for Ireland and was named captain of the national team during the 2013 November series - his last appearance was in the 22-20 loss to New Zealand. The second-row has toured three times with the British & Irish Lions, captaining the tourists on the 2009 tour of South Africa and playing in the first two Tests of the successful 2013 tour of Australia. O'Connell captained Munster to Heineken Cup success in 2008 and to Pro12 titles in 2009 and 2011. Irene Nel, 73, was visiting family in Bristol on a six-month tourist visa in 2012 when she was diagnosed. Her daughter, who moved to the UK in 1999, has been fighting her deportation claiming she will die if sent back. The Home Office said all applications were considered on individual merit in line with immigration rules. Mrs Nel is currently being cared for by her daughter Desree Taylor, who is a British citizen. She said her mother needs to have dialysis three times a week "to keep her alive", but a process was being put in place to deport her with just 72 hours' notice. "She won't have dialysis in South Africa because over there - if you're over 60 - you don't qualify at all," she said. "So she will go back and within two weeks, her consultant has said, she will pass away." Mrs Nel has said she would "rather die than go back" and has appealed for six weeks' notice so she can stop dialysis. "I love my country but I can't go back," she said. "I've got no one there, all my kids are here and if I have to go back I might as well give up everything." A Home Office spokesman said: "All cases are carefully considered on their individual merits, in line with the UK immigration rules." The case echoes that of 92-year-old South African Myrtle Cothill who had her threat of deportation lifted after more than 150,000 people signed a petition for her to stay in Dorset with her daughter.

With the score at 0-0, McHugh was dismissed for a challenge on Don Cowie after 53 minutes. Hearts soon scored through Alexandros Tziolis' deflected strike and Esmael Goncalves added a late double. "It's never a red card in a million years," McGhee told BBC Scotland. "It's an embarrassment as far as I'm concerned. That has cost us the game." Last week, Motherwell had Scott McDonald dismissed in the 2-0 defeat by Rangers and the Fir Park club's appeal against the dismissal was rejected by Thursday's Scottish FA disciplinary tribunal. "We'll be appealing it all right," said Scotland assistant coach McGhee of referee Andrew Dallas' decision to dismiss McHugh. "It's another £500 into the SFA coffers and we'll probably get it turned down, but we believe it's right. "I think every single player on the pitch is astonished. All of our players certainly were. He won the ball and caught him with his trailing foot. It's ridiculous. A shocking decision. "They got a flukey goal with a big ricochet, but we were still the better team at that stage, then they counter attack and get the second. The scoreline does not reflect the nature of the game. "I'm proud of the effort and embarrassed by the sending off." Hearts head coach Ian Cathro said of the challenge: "In the moment of it, it did not look like a particularly nice tackle. But, without seeing it again, I can't really comment on it strongly one way or the other." It was a second Premiership win for Hearts this week, following Wednesday's 4-1 defeat of Rangers. "We felt we needed to speed up our possession and force more of our attacks down the sides, so we made changes at half-time," Cathro added. "From then on, we started to be more threatening. "Overall, we controlled most things quite well. "It's nice for Goncalves [to get his first goals for the club] and it shows the supporters how much he loves scoring. "He gave good work for the team and, collectively, it's been a very positive day for us." St Johnstone, like Rangers, will be at home for the first leg when they welcome Lithuania's Trakai.

More to follow. The full-back is out of contract with the French Top 14 side this summer. Toulon have made an offer reported to be worth £750,000 per year. Halfpenny is set to announce an extension to his current deal for at least another season after the club's European Champions Cup quarter-final against Clermont-Auvergne on Sunday. The Welsh Rugby Union and Blues have offered the 28-year-old British & Irish Lion a national dual contract (NDC), but Blues chief executive Richard Holland admitted it is "unlikely" Halfpenny, who joined Toulon from the region in 2014, would accept. Media playback is not supported on this device Among the stumbling blocks was the length of the NDC with Halfpenny seeking a 28-month deal while the WRU were only willing to offer either a two or three year contract. Halfpenny, who has played 74 times for Wales and scored 668 points, has also since been linked with a potential move to Bath for the 2018-19 season. Toulon owner Mourad Boudjellal is eager to keep the club's top points-scorer for a fourth season but agreed to delay contract talks until after the Six Nations. Halfpenny had a week off following Wales' controversial climax to the Six Nations Championship against France in Paris, in which he scored all of Wales' 18 points in their defeat. On Sunday he will make his first appearance for Toulon since January in their European tie. Wales prop Aaron Jarvis is named on the bench for opponents Clermont. Boudjellal previously told BBC Wales Sport: "He is like Jonny Wilkinson, he is a very special player and he makes his own decisions. "We have spoken before but I don't know yet his decision." It was a spirited, sometimes snippy affair that often seemed to spin out of control, as the back-and-forth between the three candidates - Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper and left-of-centre challengers Justin Trudeau of the Liberal Party and Thomas Mulcair of the New Democratic Party - descended into cacophony. The debate's moderator, Toronto Globe and Mail editor-in-chief David Walmsley, pointed out in his introduction that this was only the second time a leaders debate had been held west of Toronto. Its location - in the heart of Canada's oil and gas country - gave a particular sense of urgency to what was tabbed as the focus of the discussion, the economy. The entire province of Alberta has been hit hard by job losses resulting from the sharp decline in oil prices, and its struggles have become a drag on the entire Canadian economy, which entered into recession earlier this year. For his part, Mr Harper was single-minded in his focus on the danger he says his opponents pose to what he termed a "fragile economy". He said Mr Trudeau's proposal for three years of deficit spending to fund increased infrastructure investment threatens out-of-control budget gaps. He accused Mr Mulcair, on the other hand, of risking harm to the economy with his plan to raise corporate taxes. Mr Mulcair responded with a sharp criticism of Mr Harper's handling of the economy, which he said had become overly reliant on an energy sector that was bound to eventually falter. "Mr Harper put all of his eggs in one basket," he said, "and then he dropped the basket." As for Mr Trudeau, he employed a refrain made famous by an American president, Ronald Reagan. "Are you better off now than you were 10 years ago?" he asked, a reference to when Mr Harper's record-setting stretch as prime minister first began. He added that Mr Harper had overseen the worst Canadian economic growth rate since the Great Depression. Mr Harper had a reply at the ready, however, citing his stewardship of the Canadian economy during a time of global turmoil. "In the last 10 years, where would you rather have been than Canada?" he asked. "Looking forward, where would you rather be but Canada?" It was a theme Mr Harper would return to again toward the end of the debate, when he noted: "I have come to work seven years in a row with nothing but economic crises all of the world." He offered a bit of a smile as he went through the litany - a banking crisis, a housing crisis, a debt crisis and the current "market chaos in China". Although the debate's focus was the economy, jobs and taxes weren't the only terrain the three candidates fought over. Environmental policy also came up, and the immigration issue led to one of the more heated exchanges. "These guys would have had, in the last two weeks, us throwing open our borders and literally hundreds of thousands of people coming without any kind of security check or documentation," Mr Harper said when asked about the recent Syrian refugee drama and how much Canada should do to take in the displaced. He called such suggestions "an enormous mistake". Both Mr Trudeau and Mr Mulcair responded by accusing the prime minister of fearmongering. "Stop using the security excuse as a pretext to do nothing," Mr Mulcair snapped. Mr Harper plays to the "fears of others, fears of different communities," Mr Trudeau said. "That's not right, sir." According to Stephen Carter, a Calgary based political strategist, the real action in Thursday night's debate, however, was the shots traded between the two left-of-centre candidates. In one particularly memorable exchange, Mr Trudeau described Mr Mulcair's universal childcare programme as amounting to ineffective "puffs of smoke". "You know a little about that, don't you, Justin," Mr Mulcair quipped in a not-so-subtle reference to the Liberal leader's controversial support for marijuana decriminalisation. The reason why the Mulcair-Trudeau confrontations were so critical, Carter says, is because although it's a three-way race, the battle over the nearly third of Canadian voters who are undecided is really only a fight between the two left parties. Those on-the-fence voters have long since given up on the incumbent Conservatives. "I thought we saw a debate between Mulcair and Trudeau only," he said. "Stephen Harper sat on the side, letting them tear each other apart, without recognising that they weren't just tearing each other apart, they were defining the debate for the final 30 days of the election." Mr Trudeau's objective was to dispel the notion that he's a political lightweight - a theme that the Conservatives have been hammering home in a recent advertising campaign. The expectations for him were low, and he likely more than met them with his debate performance. The goal for Mr Mulcair was somewhat trickier. The NDP has never held power in Ottawa, and he had to assure voters that he would be a steady hand at the tiller - a task he appeared to accomplish as well. Now Mr Mulcair and Mr Trudeau will have to seize on whatever momentum they can coming out of this debate and advance themselves as the best alternative to Mr Harper. "After 150 years of being told we have no choice," Mr Mulcair said, "for the first time in our history there is another choice". Mr Harper put forward a steady effort on Thursday night that contrasted with Mr Muldair's sardonic barbs and Mr Trudeau's occasionally breathless speaking style. It's becoming clear, however, that he's going to have to thread an exceedingly narrow electoral needle to keep the government in his party's hands. If those undecideds end up breaking en masse toward either the Liberals or the NDP, he'll likely be packing his bags after the 19 October election.

The building, known as Block C, held the punch card index that acted as a "search engine" at the heart of decryption work. In 2010, Google helped return papers of cryptanalyst Alan Turing to Bletchley. Bletchley Park, which now houses the National Museum of Computing, is also widely recognised as having a pivotal role in the computer industry because machines built to help crack codes laid the foundation for more modern devices. Block C was built of brick and had an internal steel frame and a reinforced concrete roof to protect the punched cards stored inside. Last used in 1984, the building is now derelict. Efforts to raise cash to fund the restoration began with a garden party held at Bletchley on 4 August. The event raised about £10,000. Once restored, Block C will serve as a visitor and learning centre for both Bletchley Park and the National Museum of Computing. Efforts to save and restore Bletchley have been ongoing for some years. In October 2009, it received £500,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to begin restoration work. In March 2010 it won a government grant of £250,000 for critical repairs. Many others, both individuals and businesses, are helping it build up a fund of about £10m to restore the entire site. Chris Wood struck his 11th league goal of the season to put the hosts ahead in the first half before a hamstring strain forced him off soon after. Garry Monk's side only made sure of the points in injury-time when Souleymane Doukara converted a penalty. Chris Gunter was adjudged to have pushed Charlie Taylor inside the area. Reading's best chance of the game came right at the end when Yakou Meite's goal-bound effort was blocked by Pontus Jansson on the Leeds line. Leeds, who responded from losing 2-0 at Brighton on Friday, had to send on Liam Bridcutt when New Zealand international Wood was withdrawn after his opening goal. A rifled right-foot shot into the roof of the net produced his 14th strike in all competitions this season after Hadi Sacko dragged the ball back across the penalty area. Leeds had little trouble containing a Reading side, who despite enjoying 77% possession, produced just two shots on target all game. Leeds head coach Garry Monk: "Chris Wood's just got hamstring tightness, we won't know for another 24 hours. It didn't look like a bad one where I was, but we will have to wait. "You can see already we can't afford to lose any more but credit to those players, they're digging in. "Physically it's hard for them but we don't want to lose Woody, who has been integral to what we're doing." Reading manager Jaap Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire: "I thought we played very, very well tonight, I think that was one of our best games. "In how you play, you're not going to get 10 chances to score, but a couple during the game. "We spoke about being patient and in the second half in the final third we could've done better in terms of decision-making. "We should've scored before they got their first goal and then we needed to be sharper in terms of defending. Late on, we tried to force it for the equaliser and after that they got a late penalty."

Media playback is not supported on this device Ulster's Director of Rugby Les Kiss has confirmed the 25-year-old flanker is nearing action after suffering a serious knee injury last summer. "He looks great, looks strong, you can see he's a beast and a very good player so I'm looking forward to him putting the Ulster jersey on," Kiss stated. "He will be ready for the first game during the Six Nations period." Fellow Springbok Ruan Pienaar is also targeting making his return in that home fixture against Edinburgh. Kiss said he will be out for another four weeks after having minor knee surgery last week. Craig Gilroy has recovered from injury ahead of Sunday's European Champions Cup game against Exeter Chiefs. Robbie Diack and Alan O'Connor are also in contention to return from injury for the vital fixture. Gilroy suffered an ankle injury during the Pro12 win at Cardiff in early December, one of just three away wins for Ulster this season. Ulster have received criticism in the wake of seven defeats in the last 11 matches in both Europe and Pro12 competition. Kiss said the players are aware of the criticism and will handle the mounting pressure. "You're going to have opinion around the edges. Whether it's always informed or not is not the question but you can't sit here and be precious. "You've got to be able to stand in front of the criticism in its varying forms, or the feedback, and deal with it. "There will be external pressure and we constantly put ourselves under pressure. "The group do feel the internal pressure more than anything and that's because expectation is high and we know the expectation from the outside, particularly our great supporter base expect from us, so it's not lost on us. "We know we're not far away." The 24-year-old striker is set to sign for United for an initial £75m, despite former club Chelsea matching the bid. "It's a club that is hungry to win the league again, to be dominant in the world again," Lukaku told ESPN, who say they spoke to him after his medical. "It's the sort of opportunity I've always wanted since a child." Lukaku is in the United States and was arrested in Los Angeles last week following a noise complaint. He is due to appear in court on 2 October. The transfer for him, initially reported by BBC Sport on Thursday, is believed to include £15m in add-ons. Chelsea tried to re-sign the Belgium international but were not willing to match the fees Lukaku's agent, Mino Raiola, would earn if the forward moved to Old Trafford. United said on Saturday they were "delighted" to agree a deal. "When they came calling I didn't have to think twice, so I'm really delighted to be part of history," said Lukaku. "Who would say no to the biggest club in the world? The best stadium in England, the best fans. I mean, it's the perfect opportunity. "I always said I wanted to play for a team that's challenging for every trophy that there is there. I think Manchester United at the minute wants to be the dominant team, the dominant force. "Now it's time to work hard, work harder than I ever did before and I'm willing to do it." United manager Jose Mourinho was manager of Chelsea when they sold Lukaku to Everton for £28m in July 2014. The Belgian scored 25 Premier League goals last season, and United have been chasing him for most of the summer. Mourinho on Lukaku expressing surprise he was released by Chelsea to join Everton on loan in 2013: "Romelu likes to speak. He's a young boy who likes to speak. But the only thing he didn't say is why he went to Everton on loan. That's the only thing he never says. And my last contact with him was to tell him exactly that - 'why do you never say why you are not here?'" Lukaku on Mourinho in December 2015: "Everyone says it is Mourinho's fault but it is not his fault because I made the decision [to leave Chelsea]. I went to his office to ask if I could go. "I signed the deal with Everton at 11 o'clock and the first text message I got on my old BlackBerry was from Mourinho saying: 'Good luck, do your best and I will see you next season.' Mourinho on selling Lukaku to Everton: "Romelu was always very clear with us with his mentality and his approach was not highly motivated to come to a competitive situation with Chelsea. "He wanted to play for Chelsea but he clearly wanted to be first-choice striker - but for a club of our dimension it is very difficult to promise to a player."

Stone walls of former field boundaries can be seen with the falling water level. The current reservoir level is 57.7% compared with 75.2% in a normal year, United Utilities said. Met Office spokesman Dan Williams said the reading from the Shap weather station, which is about eight miles away, showed there had been 7.6mm of rain so far in September with the average for September for that weather station standing at 128.3mm. The reservoir was created to provide for the water needs of Manchester and involved the construction of a dam, which was started in 1929. Once completed the reservoir took almost a year to fill. Many of the buildings in the village were dismantled and bodies buried in the churchyard were exhumed and moved elsewhere. 21 June 2016 Last updated at 14:01 BST It's the app that really kickstarted the selfie craze, but has recently faced user backlash over changes to both its logo and the algorithm that is used to decide the order images are displayed.

Paul Pugh, 37, spent two months in a coma after being assaulted on a night out in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, on 6 January 2007 and will never make a full recovery. Four men were jailed for the attack. In 2014, he launched Paul's Pledge with Dyfed-Powys Police, which campaigns against alcohol-fuelled violence. The former football captain visits schools, colleges and youth clubs across the force area to raise awareness of the dangers and consequences of violence, and the impact it can have on individuals and their families. Mr Pugh began marking the 10th anniversary of the incident by returning to the Old Cross Inn in Ammanford, which is were he was attacked in the street. "I don't want this to happen to anyone else - nobody in the world," he said, sat in the pub for the first time since the attack. "I don't want anyone to go through what me and my family are going through - that's why I'm here." He said the devastating injuries he suffered mean he still cannot do things that came naturally before the attack. But he added: "This is my life now - I've moved on from what happened. There are many things I can't do - but this [campaign] I can do. "I think it sends a powerful message to the world." Mr Pugh spent Friday evening at Cwmamman Football Club, a place he said is "still so dear to me". He shared his story, talked about his pledge and celebrated how far he has come with his rehabilitation. "I've had to learn to walk and talk again and come to terms with the fact that I will never fully recover," he said. "But I've turned this experience into something positive by telling my story to others. "I'm over the moon that the campaign has been rolled out to cover the whole Dyfed-Powys Police force area meaning I get to speak to many more young people about the impact violence and alcohol has had on me and my loved ones." Tessa Banks, 33, of Dumfries, had previously been found guilty of having the device in a flat in the town. A court heard how a bomb disposal expert had been called out to make it safe. Banks was put under supervision for 18 months and ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work. She was also told to take part in a special behavioural programme. Banks had denied the committing offence between November 2015 and March last year but she was found guilty at the end of three-day trial at Dumfries Sheriff Court last month. The court heard that the alert had been raised after a friend told police she had been shown the device and was concerned over what might happen. The jury was told by a bomb disposal expert that he had cleared the area at the house as he tackled the improvised device made from three fireworks wrapped in a sock. During evidence it was said that Banks was having issues with the social work department at the time. It was claimed that she had forgotten the device was there until the friend had seen it. Solicitor Ranald Lindsay stressed that there was no evidence that Banks had had a hand in making it and described her as "a vulnerable person easily influenced by her partners". However, Sheriff Brian Mohan pointed out that the device was capable of causing injury to anyone nearby or starting a fire. The UK's new foreign secretary had hardly finished a tour of his King Charles Street office before he was forced to deal with the attempted coup in Turkey. He has hosted two conferences in London on the conflicts in Syria and Yemen. He has toured the diplomatic capitals of Brussels, Washington and New York, shaking hands with a flurry of fellow foreign ministers whose names he will now struggle to recall. He has spoken and voted in the United Nations Security Council. He has been savaged by US journalists before the world's cameras, accused of being a liar who had insulted a woman who might just be the next president. Prime Minister Theresa May was forced to defend his appointment both on the floor of the House of Commons and at a press conference with Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel. On the day of the Republican convention, he was asked by one TV journalist if he was Britain's Donald Trump, a question that was as tonsorial as it was political. A soft landing it wasn't. When his appointment was announced, some in the Foreign Office were horrified. One official who was asked for his reaction by a reporter at the Financial Times replied: "Just imagine being told that Piers Morgan had been made the editor of the FT." But having spent a few days following Mr Johnson around Washington and New York, I can report that some diplomats are reassessing their view of their new boss. They have woken up to the fact that Mr Johnson attracts attention, both from the media and other politicians. They have a minister who has what one called "rock star status". They note the contrast between the foreign secretary and his predecessor, Philip Hammond. One source told me Mr Johnson was a risk-taking James Hunt to Mr Hammond's more cautious Niki Lauda. Mr Hammond was known for his mastery of the detail, something that the Americans valued, particularly in their talks over the Iranian nuclear deal. But Mr Hammond was not flamboyant, nor was he hugely visible. That cannot be said of his successor. At the anti-Islamic State conference in Washington, Mr Johnson was a man people wanted to meet. Diplomats and officials took pictures and selfies with him. Other foreign ministers sought him out, apart from his German counterpart - Herr Steinmeier - whose handshake was so curt as to be almost discourteous. So this notoriety - in every sense of the word - has prompted a rethink among some in the FCO. The foreign secretary spent much of the week looking rather like an old Labrador who has just flushed out a pheasant for the first time and is rather pleased with his unexpected success. In contrast, his officials looked like children with a new bicycle that they can't wait to take out for a ride but are worried they might crash. Some had feared that from now on most of the Foreign Office's bandwidth would be taken up with Brexit. But with an activist and attention-seeking foreign secretary, they hope there is new diplomacy to be done as well. The big question is what? Mr Johnson is telling everyone who will listen that Britain wants to play a more proactive role in the world. Part of this is designed to convince people that Brexit doesn't mean isolation. But it cannot just mean Mr Johnson rushing round the world flying the flag. So the hunt is now on for new things for Britain to do in the world. Diplomats have been asked to dust off imaginative ideas that were shelved in the past and send them into London. We caught an early glimpse of some of these ideas in Washington. Mr Johnson called for more to be done to gather evidence of war crimes as allied forces take territory off the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. He also tried to get the Americans and others to start thinking more about how to stop IS extremists dispersing around the world once their stronghold in Mosul is captured. To the disappointment of some US diplomats, this new pro-activism is unlikely to involve the deployment of more UK forces against IS. Britain does not really have the military hardware to increase its bombing in Syria or Iraq. Nor is there enough political will to start bombing IS in new countries like Libya. And the deployment of special forces, because it is never acknowledged by the UK government, cannot be used to illustrate a new, expansionist foreign policy. But the expectation is that by the UN general assembly meeting in the autumn, the UK will have four or five plans or initiatives to show the world that it is not just focused on Brexit. Now this Foreign Office enthusiasm for their new charge is tempered by some realism. They know that Mr Johnson does not have unlimited political support in Downing Street. He is not part of Mrs May's inner circle. She and her advisers may tire if Mr Johnson claims more media attention than they would like. Mr Johnson is always just one interview away from a gaffe. Thus far he has been uncharacteristically disciplined and stuck rigidly to the FCO script, much to their admiration and his relief. But even he would admit that that cannot last for ever. Mr Johnson could also fall out with his fellow Brexiteers, David Davis and Liam Fox, over Britain's future relationship with the EU. The foreign secretary told me he had "absolutely no doubt that a balance can be struck" between access to the single market and free movement of labour. Messrs Fox and Davis, in contrast, say free movement should not play any part in the Brexit negotiations. And there is always a risk that Mr Johnson fails to meet the expectations he has raised by promising what he calls "more Britain" on the world stage. But that is for the future. For now diplomats have a foreign secretary whose polymathic brain and linguistic skills they respect. They note that that their allies appear more worried about Brexit than Mr Johnson's journalistic baggage. And they all seem to be having fun. As the foreign secretary told UN reporters: "I have hugely enjoyed my first week as a diplomat." During the Conservative leadership race, Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson told an off-colour joke about how the party "had just withdrawn its massive Johnson" from the contest. In fact, he is being deployed around the world and it could be quite a ride. The Netherlands scored after just 31 seconds and built a 3-1 lead at the Kwandong Hockey Centre. Katie Marsden scored twice for GB and captain Leanne Ganney made it 3-3 before the Dutch went two clear again. Kim Lane scored after Marsden's shot was saved to reduce the deficit again but GB could not find an equaliser. "We are very disappointed," GB assistant coach James Ashton said. "For whatever reason, defensively we didn't do what we normally do. "I think some of the players were nervous and I don't think it is anything more. I don't think anyone was jet-lagged or tired." Britain next play hosts South Korea on Monday. They also face North Korea, Slovenia and Australia in the group stage.

But according to a report published today, we urgently need to do God - or rather, as a nation, we need to understand religion and belief much better as a driving force within societies across the world, in order to deal with its impact at home. Here, the decrease in mainstream Christianity and the growth of minority religions are raising questions about national identity (what does it mean to be British today?) and how we can live together and accommodate difference peacefully and cohesively, balancing each other's freedoms and rights. It is a timely report, as Europe grapples with a migration crisis caused at least in part by wars involving religion in the Middle East, and the UK begins to bomb targets in Syria connected with the Islamic State group, highlighting national and international anxieties about the rise of militant Islamism and the growth of minority religions in western European societies. It also comes as the UK deals with the impact of partial devolution, the fallout from the Scottish referendum, and the run-up to a referendum that could see the UK leave the European Union, creating a sense that society is atomising, while identity politics are on the rise. Entitled "Living with Difference", the report has been released by the Commission on Religion and Belief in Public Life, set up by the Woolf Institute, an academic institute in Cambridge that specialises in interfaith relations. It calls for politicians to overhaul UK public policy on religion and belief, to take account of the increasing impact of religion around the world and the more diverse nature of society in Britain, which is also less religious in many ways. Its aim is to suggest practical ways for government and citizens to respond to social change in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, to ensure a shared understanding of the fundamental values underlying public life that guarantee religious freedom while protecting the liberties and values of non-believers. Its recommendations include: The commission was chaired by the cross-bencher Baroness Butler-Sloss, and has taken two years to prepare its report. Twenty religious and academic thinkers from every major religious tradition, as well as the British Humanist Association, received more than 200 submissions of evidence. Baroness Butler-Sloss says that the recommendations amount to a "new settlement for religion and belief in the UK" and are aimed at providing space and a role in society for all citizens, "regardless of their beliefs or absence of them". She is keen that the UK's civic institutions, from the House of Lords to the coronation and Remembrance Sunday, reflect the growing diversity of today's society. "From recent events in France, to schools… and even the adverts screened in cinemas, for good or ill, religion and belief impacts directly on all our daily lives," says the former Lord Justice of Appeal. The report suggests that the government should repeal the need for schools to hold acts of collective worship or religious observance, and hold "inclusive assemblies and times for reflection that draw upon a range of sources… and that will contribute to their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development". It notes that almost half the population now describes itself as non-religious. In 1983, two-thirds of those in the UK would have identified as Christian, whereas today it is down to two-fifths. Half a century ago, Judaism was the second-largest faith tradition, while it is now fourth behind Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism. The recommendations of the 144-page report are a plea for greater understanding, tolerance and knowledge of each other in a society in which religion is no longer a glue that binds, but all too often a source of division, mistrust and sometimes hatred. In particular, the Commission hopes to suggest ways for government policy to enable Britons to avoid "stereotyping, misunderstanding and oversimplification based on ignorance". The report itself makes clear that the religious landscape in the UK has been transformed by the growth of non-Christian religions, and a shift away from mainstream Christian denominations and a rise in Evangelical and Pentecostal churches. Twenty-six Church of England bishops sit in the House of Lords, even though Anglicans no longer make up a majority of Christians in the UK. The Commission says that the picture is made more complicated by the growth of fanaticism and a suspicion among many "that religion is a primary source of all the world's ills". It acknowledges that while religion can be a "public good", it can also be a "public bad", which is why its members believe that the government has a legitimate interest in shaping policy to deal with the challenges that have emerged. They argue that the UK government must take a more considered and less piecemeal approach to legislation surrounding issues of religion and belief, and note that "what it means to be British is not fixed or final" and has continued to morph and change from the days of the certainties of the British Empire through to the pluralistic society of today. It is a report that accurately reflects the anxiety and uncertainty about national identity that many now feel over how rapidly the UK has changed over the past 30 years, although it may well perhaps irritate both secularists and Christians who feel their voice has been marginalised. What is indisputable is that we are now part of a globalised, interconnected and increasingly unsettled world in which the disputes within and between religions in other nations - from the Middle East to Africa and Asia - are reflected back into the UK, sometimes creating or exacerbating tensions between different communities here. The commission's conclusion is that how the UK responds to those changes will have a profound impact on public life, with education at all levels and dialogue between faiths and those of no faith both crucial components of that response. Because now, it seems, we live at a time where the 50% of the UK's population who say they don't do God need to better understand those who do - while those who identify themselves as spiritual or religious need to accommodate those who don't. Unilever shares finished more than 13% higher, and that helped push the benchmark FTSE 100 past the post with a 22-point gain to 7,299.96. The Anglo-Dutch firm said it saw "no merit" in the $143bn (£115bn) offer. But Kraft said that the talks were continuing and that it looked forward to reaching an agreement. Rival consumer goods giant Reckitt Benckiser was pulled higher by the news, with its shares rising nearly 3%. Meanwhile, Standard Chartered extended its earlier losses to more than 4% amid a wider sell-off in banking shares. Deutsche Bank was the biggest faller as Germany's Dax index dropped 0.5%. France's Cac fell 1.0%. "The FTSE 100 has managed to buck this slightly weaker trend but that's been primarily as a result of today's news that Kraft Heinz, the world's fifth biggest consumer foods brand, is looking to acquire Unilever, the world's third biggest consumer food brand," said Michael Hewson, analyst at CMC Markets. On the currency markets, the pound was down 0.5% against the dollar at $1.2427 and up by 0.1% against the euro at 1.1708 euros. This historic discovery not only confirms a major prediction of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity in its centenary year, but marks the birth of a whole new way to study the Universe. Gravitational waves are ripples in the very fabric of the Universe. They are produced by violent events out in the cosmos and are detected by sensing tiny local changes in the direction and strength of gravity here on the surface of the Earth. This discovery is groundbreaking - for a number of reasons. The gravitational wave detected has a fabulously precise signature - matching two black holes, which are each tens of times more massive than our Sun - spiralling into collide and merge. It's the first time we've ever directly detected a pair of such black holes, and it's the first time we've seen the merger of black holes. Until now these events were predicted but never before observed. Perhaps most excitingly, this detection is our first direct message from the "dark" Universe. It has come from an event that might not give out light of any wavelength - one detectable only through changes in the gravitational field. For decades after Einstein's 1916 prediction, gravitational waves were treated as a mathematical curiosity. Only in the 1960s did the realisation come that they could be real, and the hunt for these elusive signals started in earnest. Why did it take five decades and the intensive work of many hundreds of scientists around the world to find them? Well, gravity is really very weak - the weakest of the forces that control our Universe. So to detect these signals here on Earth requires instruments that are exquisitely sensitive to the tiniest changes in gravity and building them has been no mean feat. Gravitational wave detectors use a technique called laser interferometry. A laser is beamed down km-scale pipes, arranged in an "L" shape to very precisely monitor the distance between mirrors at each end. According to Einstein's theory, the distance between the mirrors will change when a gravitational wave passes by the detector. The tricky part is that a gravitational wave changes the lengths of the arms by a tiny amount - about one-ten-thousandth the diameter of a proton. Being able to achieve this required technology that didn't even exist 50 years ago - it had to be invented along the way. The current peak of technological achievement is embodied in the two Advanced LIGO detectors at sites in Louisiana State and Washington State in the US. This is a major international project involving a consortium - the LIGO Scientific Collaboration - of nearly 1,000 scientists from countries around the world. The UK, along with Germany, are partners in Advanced LIGO, with some of the key technology essential for this detection having been pioneered in the UK-German 'GEO' collaboration. In particular, seismic motion of the surface of the Earth would naturally disturb the mirrors much more than any gravitational wave. Sophisticated pendulums to hold the mirrors were developed at the University of Glasgow to combat this. In these systems the mirrors hang from ultra-pure glass fibres just a few times thicker than a human hair. This both filters out seismic noise and reduces noise from the very atoms of the mirrors vibrating, leaving the mirrors almost motionless and ready to respond to the gravitational echoes of colliding black holes, coming to us from more than a billion light-years away. We also need to know what shape of signals to search for, and UK researchers in Cardiff have pioneered models to predict this, whilst scientists in Birmingham have studied how best to interpret the signals and understand what they tell us about the cosmic events producing them. All part of a global partnership. Most exciting is that this is just the start. More discoveries lie ahead - perhaps of colliding neutron stars - with rich new information about dense stellar interiors. More sensitive detectors will expand our horizons towards the era of the early Universe, letting us map its gravitational history reaching back towards the Big Bang - further than ever before. Future gravitational detectors in space - for which the recent LISA Pathfinder mission paves the way - should see supermassive black hole collisions of phenomenal energy. Every time in history a new telescope has turned on it has found signals that were completely unexpected; perhaps that's the most exciting prospect of all. With Feyenoord leading 1-0, Vitesse forward Tim Matavz appeared to be fouled inside the box but referee Danny Makkelie did not stop play. Feyenoord broke quickly and scored but Makkelie used VAR to award the penalty to Vitesse and rule out the goal. Vitesse equalised from the spot but went on to lose 4-2 on penalties. Former Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones was Feyenoord's hero in the shootout, saving the first two spot kicks. The match had finished 1-1 in normal time, with Jens Toornstra putting Feyenoord ahead inside the first 10 minutes and Alexander Buttner converting the controversial penalty. VAR can only review incidents relating to goals, red cards, mistaken identities and penalties. The technology can be used while the ball is in play, but not while either team is in an attacking position. In his inaugural speech, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski - known as PPK - said he longed for Peru in five years "to be more modern, more just, more equal". The conservative beat Keiko Fujimori in run-off elections last month. Peru's economy has risen sharply in recent years fuelled by a commodities boom but many Peruvians live in poverty and lack basic services. Mr Kuczynski has pledged to work for all Peruvians, calling for a "social revolution". He will need support from Ms Fujimori's party to enact reforms, however, since it controls congress. Ms Fujimori, the daughter of incarcerated ex-President Alberto Fujimori, was once favourite to win the vote but eventually lost by less than a quarter of a percentage point. Figures released by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) show how one 38-year-old Liverpool man took 39 goes to pass the driving test. Heckmondwike, in Yorkshire, accounted for a fifth of the top 20 practical test repeaters. The Driving Instructors Association questioned whether people should be able to sit tests so many times. DVSA's chief examiner Lesley Young said: "The result of their test is entirely dependent on their performance on the day. "It's essential that all drivers demonstrate they have the right skills, knowledge and attitude to drive safely." The figures also include the top 20 repeat theory test candidates. Between them, the top 20 have attempted to take the test 1,309 times. Only eight have yet managed to pass. Topping the list was a 30-year-old woman who has sat the theory test 113 times at the Ilford centre. The second spot was taken by a 40-year-old man who has tried 107 times at the Ilford centre followed by a 30-year-old man who has failed 86 times in Peterborough. Olivia Baldock-Ward, training manager at the Driving Instructors Association, said: "There is the issue of whether people who are failing the theory test 100 times should be allowed to try again and again. There is an issue of road safety here. "On average, people might need two or three goes at passing the tests. If it is much more than that, then there may be other issues involved. "Driving is a serious matter - people do die on the roads." The Arts Council - which distributes money to hundreds of arts venues, theatre groups and galleries - said the cut would have "a significant impact on the cultural life of the country". The 29.6% cut will see ACE's current government grant of £449m drop to £349m by 2014. National museums will take a cut of 15% and will remain free to enter. The Arts Council is also being asked to make a 50% cut in its administrative costs. In addition, funding will end for Creative Partnerships (a school arts programme) and funding will be cut for the British Film Institute by 15%. Alan Davey, ACE's chief executive, said: "This cut will inevitably have a significant impact on the cultural life of the country. "The Secretary of State has asked us to try to ensure that funding for arts organisations is not cut by more than 15% over the next four years - the tipping point that we identified to the Chancellor some months ago." He said the Arts Council would now meet to consider the overall position on 25 October. "We will now be analysing the details of the settlement and the consequences for the arts in this country as a whole," Mr Davey said. The BBC's Arts Editor Will Gompertz describes Arts Council England as "a big loser" in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) cuts. He said: "They have to fulfil two specific requirements - to reduce administrative costs by 50% and only pass on 15% cuts to their regularly funded organisations. "This is likely to mean the closure of some regional arts offices and a significant reduction in the Arts Council projects fund which enables them to support major events such as the Manchester International Festival." Michael Boyd, artistic director at the Royal Shakespeare Company, said: "This will be a big blow to theatres - especially those who will also be losing local authority funding - and audiences will be the poorer. We are concerned that the settlement for the Arts Council doesn't allow it sufficient room to manoeuvre." A special BBC News season examining the approaching cuts to public sector spending The Spending Review: Making It Clear Culture Minister Ed Vaizey told the BBC: "I think that the Arts Council will still be an effective organisation. It will have to be a leaner organisation and I think it will be difficult, but I'm very confident that the chief executive Alan Davey is capable of delivering those savings." Meanwhile, the big museums have welcomed the fact that their cuts have been set at 15%, and that they will now have access to half of their historic reserves of cash, which between them amounts to £143m. 'Equally challenging' In his Spending Review speech in the Commons, Chancellor George Osborne said overall DCMS spending would be reduced by 24% to £1.1bn by 2014/15. Mr Osborne said that 19 quangos - including the UK Film Council - would be abolished or reformed. "All of this is being done so we can limit four year reductions to 15% in core programmes like our national museums, the frontline funding provided to our arts and Sport England's Whole Sport plans," the Chancellor said. "We will complete the new world-class building extensions for the Tate Gallery and British Museum in London." He added: "I can also announce today that in order that our nation's culture and heritage remains available to all, we will continue to fund free entry to museums and galleries." Dr Michael Dixon, chairman of the National Museum Directors' Conference (NMDC), and director of the Natural History Museum, said that although funding cuts were not as high as in other areas, they would be "equally challenging due to the high unavoidable costs of running museums". He added: "In the current circumstances we may have to reduce some of the things that we currently offer, but we will preserve free access and as much of our service to the public as possible." The National Gallery's director, Nicholas Penny, said: "The DCMS has ensured the unique contribution that museums make has been reflected in the settlement. "We also welcome the announcement regarding access to museum reserves. We will now establish how the National Gallery will operate with the new allocation from the start of the next financial year." A significant amount of arts funding in the UK - around £900m - comes via the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The DCMS directly funds some of the bigger museums and galleries - such as Tate and The British Museum - with other money distributed by organisations such as Arts Council England. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland the devolved governments decide how much is spent on the arts. Shadow Culture, Media and Sport Secretary Ivan Lewis described the scale of the cuts as "unfair". He said: "With this level of cuts, and the pressure on local authority budgets, museums, galleries and community projects across the country will fear for their future." A spokeswoman said some "small guide wheels" came off The Smiler as it was being pulled up an incline. Kevin Hayes-Heath, who was in the carriage with his partner Wayne, said the incident was "pretty frightening". Debris hit him on the shoulder and his partner in the face. A teenage girl and her father were also hit, he said. "You are at the highest point of the ride and you've got all these loops to do and you just think that the carriage is going to come off," Mr Hayes-Heath said. "We were shouting at them to stop the ride because they were about to send another party off." Alton Towers said the ride completed its circuit and no evacuation was required. A spokeswoman confirmed that plastic guide wheels were flicked onto a teenager and three adults in the front row of the train. The rest of the guide wheels were caught by safety netting, she added. The injured people were looked after by park staff and did not need treatment by the ambulance service, the spokeswoman said. The park said an investigation would be carried out into Saturday's incident to decide when the ride could re-open. The 14-loop Smiler was shut for four days on 21 July after a piece fell off the track, and 48 people had to be rescued. It closed again in August for five days due to a "technical issue". The ride, which opened in May, includes a drop of 30m (98ft). The spokeswoman said: "We have very stringent safety procedures on all of our rides including CCTV so the ride was stopped immediately by the rides team. "All of our rides and attractions are expected to meet extremely high standards, technologically, mechanically and in terms of the end experience, and a full investigation is on going before we determine whether to re-open the ride. "We are sorry for any disappointment the ride's temporary closure caused our visitors but the health and safety of all of our visitors is our absolute priority." Nahki Wells pulled the ball back for Izzy Brown to sidefoot a volley home to put the Terriers ahead before Wells himself drove in the second. Luke Freeman capitalised when the visitors failed to clear their lines to net his first Rangers goal. The R's pressed but could not beat keeper Danny Ward, who a produced a stunning save to deny Matt Smith. David Wagner's visitors moved up to third in the Championship table following the victory, but were indebted to Wales international Ward for his efforts in keeping Ian Holloway's side at bay. He produced a stunning save to keep out Conor Washington's volley, before on-loan Chelsea forward Brown scored his fourth goal in six games for the visitors and Wells doubled the lead, and has found the net in all of his three appearances at Loftus Road against QPR. After an abject first-half display, the hosts came back into it in the second, with home full debutant Smith causing all sorts of problems for the away defence before Freeman fired home to reduce the deficit. Ward had to be at his best again to keep out Smith's header from a cross by Washington cross, before the forward went down in the box under a challenge by Michael Hefele, only for an offside flag to deny the hosts a penalty. Rangers piled on the pressure late on, with Ward denying Kazenga LuaLua in the seventh minute of added time, leaving the West Londoners just five points above the relegation zone. QPR manager Ian Holloway: "We've probably got to win five or six games, so we've got a big margin for error. We're disappointed to lose again, but if we keep playing like that'll we'll be fine. "We created three or four chances before they scored. We let the first goal in almost out of nothing and then, before you know it, it's two. We had a mountain to climb but I was delighted with the lads' effort. "Unfortunately, this league is about taking your chances, and we created more than enough. That's what a venomous snake does to you. It bites you - and we got bitten twice." Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner: "We have to be honest; we were not at our best and I think we were lucky today. "QPR were very good. They were very aggressive, created on the wings and our keeper Danny Ward was by miles the best player on the pitch, which I think says everything. "We got three lucky points, but three points are three points and we are so happy to have got them. We should not forget also that we scored two wonderful goals and created other opportunities as well." Match ends, Queens Park Rangers 1, Huddersfield Town 2.

Udumaga, who can also play as a forward, has made three substitute appearances for the Bees in the Championship so far this season. The 20-year-old also started the 4-0 Capital One Cup defeat by League Two side Oxford in August. Ferry, 18, has yet to appear for Brentford's first team but has captained their development side. Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth said: "We've got an excellent relationship with Brentford, which enables us to benefit from taking their youngsters on loan and contributing to their development on and off the pitch. "James and Jermaine have played a lot of matches at youth level and we look forward to giving them the opportunity to experience a first-team environment in training and on matchdays." Rory Miskelly has already been involved in the project through his job at the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure. He will now be working as a full-time employee of the GAA. Mr Miskelly has vast experience when it comes to multi-million pound building projects in Belfast. He helped deliver the Titanic Visitor Centre and the revamped Ravenhill rugby stadium. Now comes, arguably, his greatest challenge - ensuring a new stadium at Casement Park is built. Work was due to begin in early 2015. However, planning permission for the stadium was overturned in December 2014, and since then it has been embroiled in controversy over emergency exit plans. The GAA also faced opposition from local residents over its plans to build the state-of-the-art, 38,000-capacity stadium. It will not be built this year, or next. But a new planning application is expected within the next six months. Before that, another community consultation will take place. It is understood the GAA may be willing to reduce the planned 38,000 capacity. However, they still want the ground to hold at least 32,500 spectators, and would prefer more.

Watson, 34, struck six sixes in his 124 not out off 71 balls as the hosts made 197-5, but India chased the total down by hitting 19 off the last over. Suresh Raina (49) struck a four off the final ball when needing two to win. He was ably supported by Rohit Sharma (52) and Vihat Kohli (50) as India won by seven wickets in Sydney. Named captain in place of the injured Aaron Finch, Watson looked to have put the match beyond the tourists with his first T20 hundred after he won the toss. He surpassed the previous second highest T20 score of 123, made by New Zealand's Brendon McCullum against Bangladesh in 2012. The highest individual score is the 156 by Finch against England at Southampton in 2013. The golden age of the great Russian "illegals" - who were not just living without diplomatic cover and the protection that this provides, but were pretending to be nationalities other than Russian - lies back in the midst of time before even the dawn of the Cold War. In the 1930s, the KGB's predecessor sent its men under deep cover into Europe, where they began recruiting young, idealistic men drawn to communism as the only force opposing fascism. On a park bench in London a young Kim Philby, recently out of Cambridge, agreed to penetrate the British establishment. He would later become the most famous of the former Cambridge undergraduates the KGB would call "the magnificent five". The Russians had to wait half a decade before Philby actually made his way to a job in British intelligence, but after that he was priceless as the British state haemorrhaged its secrets to Moscow. From the details released so far, none of the alleged agents involved in this latest operation look anything like as valuable. Few, if any secrets, appear to have been obtained. Many of the methods used by the suspected agents arrested in the US - the "brush contacts" in train stations - would have been familiar to those who recruited and ran Philby even if others - the use of wireless networks and steganography, the art of secret writing - would not. District Court complaint 1 [PDF] District Court complaint 2 [PDF] The FBI's 'spy novel' allegations The moment of greatest vulnerability for any spy has always been the meeting with their handler and the moment at which information is passed. Technology offers new possibilities but also new methods of detection, as the FBI seems to have employed. Running agents as illegals under deep cover requires a huge commitment of resources and time. This case appears to show Russia's External Intelligence Service (SVR), the KGB's successor, is still willing to invest even for relatively low-level secrets, a position which some Western intelligence agencies will occasionally admit they envy slightly. But getting caught is always embarrassing, especially when the reality that spying is often a mixture of the mundane and farcical, punctuated by moments of high drama, is exposed to public scrutiny. The UK's Security Service, MI5, regularly complains that the number of Russian intelligence officers operating in London is at Cold War levels. Many of these officers will be working against Russians, and especially dissidents, in London. The death of Alexander Litvinenko - who died from radiation poisoning in London in 2006 - remains a sore point between the two countries despite efforts to move on. But it would be foolish and naive to think that the US and UK were not running their own operations in Russia to collect secrets. In January 2006, the Russians accused the UK's Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, of using a "spy rock" to transmit information gathered by its agents in Moscow. The Cold War may be over but for the Americans and Russians there are still plenty of important secrets to steal from each other - whether on the latest military technology, strategic intentions over Iran, energy supplies or manoeuvrings in Central Asia. This means that both sides are almost certain to have many more agents and networks in place - and some may have burrowed far deeper and stolen much more than the group just allegedly discovered. The duel with 60-year-old warrior Mohammed Moussa came while he was visiting a 17th century fort in the city of Nizwa. He also took part in a traditional sword dance and was shown how to handle the weapon properly, before being presented with a bouquet of flowers. It's the second day of the prince's three-day trip to the Gulf state. When Harry arrived at the fort, locals welcomed him with a traditional ceremony known as a razha. During the performance, one man held his sword upright and vibrated it from side to side in his hand. The prince tried the manoeuvre too, but after a few attempts, joked: "This is mad!" Harry then traded a few friendly blows with his veteran sparring partner before retiring, honours even. Asked if he would keep his fencing sword, the prince laughed and said: "They didn't offer it to me, so probably not". The 17th-century fortification is two hours drive from the Omani capital of Muscat and boasts an 80ft-high round tower. Prince Harry signed the fort's visitors book, writing: "Thank you for an amazing visit. There is never enough time to see everything, for that I am sorry! The whole place is beautiful." Before leaving, he was presented with a large bouquet of flowers by a group of local children aged four and five. There was some confusion however, as the children had thought the prince was married and prepared the gift for him and his supposed wife. Their teacher Jalila Al Sabahi said: "It was for his wife, the children thought a princess would be coming too." Harry's tour guide Yahya Al-Azri said: "His Highness was very happy to come to Nizwa, I saw that in his face and in the comments he left in the VIP guestbook. "When he tried to catch the sword the first time he could not do it but when he was told what to do the second time he was excellent." After he completes his tour of Oman, Prince Harry will travel to Abu Dhabi. The county's clinical commissioning group (CCG) has agreed a £12m financial recovery plan, which partly draws from "contingency" funds. It has now set up a task force to find further savings from this year's budget to make up the shortfall. CCG chief executive David Smith said: "If we do not take action now, the position is going to get worse." The financial shortfall has been caused by a 40% rise in the amount paid for funded nursing care, which is costing an extra £5m. Meanwhile, a larger than expected contract with Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Oxford's John Radcliffe hospital, is costing an extra £8m, fuelled by increased patient demand. "We have very difficult times ahead. This plan resolves our financial position this year, but we need to see what is sustainable next year," Mr Smith said. "There have to be changes in the way services are delivered." But Oxfordshire Green Party health spokesman Larry Sanders said the county's health bosses had to be more honest about the effect on services. "What I object to is not that the CCG needs to make cuts, but that they should be more honest about what the cuts will be," he said. Pritt Buttar, a GP from Abingdon, said healthcare professionals could "not avoid being worried about patients' wellbeing". "Theses cuts have to come from services. Pressure on existing staff will increase and waiting times for appointments will increase," he said. "We have an ageing population, growing expectations of what the NHS should provide, and plans for a seven-day health service when we are not funding a five-day service properly. The situation is just absurd." The current exemption for vacant non-domestic properties will be removed on 1 April. Ministers said the extra money it would raise would help maintain the current freeze in business charges. But the Scottish Conservatives said it was "another attack on the pockets of businesses from the SNP". The Scottish government announcement followed a public consultation. Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said ministers wanted to ensure that the charging regime was "fair for everyone, broadly cost-effective and harmonised". She added: "The introduction of these charges is on the basis that vacant properties benefit from water and sewerage services and should therefore pay for them. "It is expected to generate some £15m a year additional wholesale revenue for Scottish Water, allowing business charges to be frozen. "Without such a move, charges would have to increase by 5% over the period to 2021." Scottish Conservative finance spokesman Murdo Fraser said: "This is another attack on the pockets of businesses from the SNP. "We should be supporting firms at this tricky time, not penalising them further. "The Scottish government may say it is 'generating' the extra money, but in truth it's simply another tax raid. "What's worse, ministers have tried to sneak this news out on the last day of term in the hope nobody notices." This year has also seen changes to business rates relief on empty industrial property. Until April, industrial properties received 100% relief from rates as long as they were vacant. That has now been restricted to the first six months a property is empty. After that, landlords receive just 10% relief. Two industry bodies recently cited the changes as "a potential cause" for a slump in industrial construction output. But the Scottish government said business rates relief for empty industrial property remained "more generous" in Scotland than in the rest of the UK. Cypriot-owned Egnedol has bought the former Gulf refinery at Waterston and the RNAD Blackbridge site in Milford Haven. It plans to produce green electricity and green liquid fuels from biomass from the base. A public exhibition is planned for October ahead of a planning application being submitted to the council. If consent is given and the site proves to be profitable, the company said it will increase investment to up to £1.6bn over the next five years. Fuel is created by subjecting organic materials, such as wood, to high heat in an oxygen free environment. The renewable energy facility would see biomass converted into a biogas, which would be used to produce green electricity or green liquid fuels. It is also hoped that heat captured from this process could be used in food production businesses at the site. The company's spokesman Phil Johns said: "We believe our proposal for a clean energy facility at Blackbridge and Waterston has the potential to place Milford Haven at the heart of one of the most exciting growth industries in the world - renewables - bringing much needed jobs and inward investment to Pembrokeshire." The company also hopes to partner with Welsh universities to create a research and development facility on the site. Ford, 50, joined the French club last month as backs coach and replaces Diego Dominguez, who was appointed in summer. Former England defence coach Ford left Bath at the end of last season after a ninth-place finish in the Premiership. Toulon lost to Saracens in their Champions Cup opener - their first home defeat in the competition - before winning 15-5 at Sale on Friday. Former Italy fly-half Dominguez lasted just 10 games after his appointment - winning five - and leaves with the club fourth in the French league. He had replaced the hugely successful Bernard Laporte, who guided the club to three European Cups and a Top 14 title in five years. In a brief statement released by the club, Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal said: "I have decided to entrust the helm of the first team to Mike Ford. "He has accepted this mission. "I will not comment on the reasons for my decision." Former Great Britain rugby league player Ford was part of the coaching set-up that guided England to rugby union's 2007 World Cup final. He became head coach at Bath in 2013 and led them to the Premiership final in 2015, where they were beaten by his former club Saracens. BBC Radio 5 live rugby correspondent Chris Jones: "After a few months out of the game following his sacking by Bath, Ford has now landed one of the biggest jobs in world rugby. "He initially joined the triple European champions as a coach working under Diego Dominguez, but the Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal has now confirmed Ford will take full charge of team affairs. "Toulon have made a patchy start to the season both domestically and in Europe, but their squad is laden with world class players, making it an irresistible challenge for an ambitious coach like Ford." The women were sexually assaulted by London taxi driver John Worboys and claimed their treatment by police caused mental suffering. At the Court of Appeal, the Met argued it was not a pre-determined right the women should have received damages Worboys was jailed for life in 2009 after committing more than 100 rapes. Speaking at the Court of Appeal, the Met's counsel Jeremy Johnson QC said the challenge related to points of principle and should not detract from the bravery of the women, who would keep their damages whatever the outcome. The hearing follows a 2013 High Court ruling the Met was liable to the women - known as DSD and NBV - for failures in its investigation under Article 3 of the Human Rights Act, which relates to inhuman or degrading treatment. DSD, the first of Worboys' victims to make a complaint to the police, alleged she suffered a depressive disorder as a result of her treatment by officers during the 2003 investigation and was awarded £22,250. While NBV, who contacted them in July 2007, claimed she suffered serious distress, anxiety, guilt and an exacerbation of post-traumatic disorder and depression because of her treatment by police. She was awarded £19,000. Mr Johnson told the hearing: "These women were attacked by a serial predatory sex offender. Each was drugged and sexually abused. Each took the courageous step, which most of the victims didn't, of reporting the matter to the police. "In each case, my clients accept they [DSD and NBV] were let down in that there were steps which could and should have been taken to investigate what happened to them, which were not taken." Mr Johnson said the law allowed for a civil damages action against a sex attacker like Worboys, compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority and the making of a complaint to the Independent Police Complaints Commission which, in this case, resulted in officers being sanctioned. However, the law did not allow a right of action for damages for errors in a police investigation. The judges are expected to reserve their decision at the end of the hearing In November 2013, Mr Justice Green at London's High Court ruled the Met was liable for its failures in relation to the women's complaints, but agreed it could appeal. He said the "case has raised important arguments regarding the boundaries of police responsibility and liability and we believed that it was important for these principles to be tested before the courts". The force has previously apologised for mistakes it made in the investigation. After some moments of political pantomime, when the government's hoped for compromise to keep shops open longer on Sundays in England and Wales emerged too late to allow MPs to vote for it (believe me, you don't want me to go on about starred amendments and manuscript amendments) the idea has just been chucked out by MPs, and chucked out with gusto. The plans were defeated by a majority of 31. Ministers may well try again to get the idea through, perhaps through the House of Lords. But what has just happened might have some consequences beyond whether shops can actually open for longer. The reason the government lost by such a margin was not just because of staunch opposition from the Labour Party with its 'Keep Sunday Special' campaign, or the principled opposition from many Tory MPs, led by David Burrowes, who believe fervently that Sundays are indeed special and should be protected. But the government lost also because the SNP also objected to their plans, even though in Scotland shops have opened for longer on Sundays for many years. It is an embarrassing defeat for the government and particularly George Osborne, who must deliver the Budget a week today. But the SNP's involvement could have a longer term impact. The SNP say their opposition is down to concerns that expanding Sunday opening in England and Wales would threaten extra pay Scots workers get for working those days. But with a majority of MPs from England and Wales backing the move, Scottish politicians have just blocked a reform that has already taken place in their constituencies. Ministers have already described the SNP's move as "shameful", even with suggestions of hypocrisy. And the SNP's actions may sow the seeds of resentment around the rest of the Chamber. This is only the second defeat in the Commons so far for the government since the general election. And it is notable because it was delivered by a combination of Labour, the SNP and Tory rebels - and that alliance could work together again and spoil the government's fun on other issues. PS Just for good measure, the government has just been defeated in the House of Lords over the Immigration Bill. Khadija Ibrahim, 30, told reporters she had been waiting for a bus to hospital in the north-eastern city of Maiduguri when she was seized by two men in a car who had offered her a lift. While drugged, the mother of three was stripped and a suicide belt attached, she is quoted as saying. She managed to flee her abductors. Africa Live: BBC news updates 'How I almost became a suicide bomber' Ms Ibrahim said after getting into the car, she fell unconscious when something was placed over her nose. But she woke up, apparently without her captors realising, to hear one of them whispering to her that she was "going to do God's work". The kidnappers told her she was being taken to the city of Kano to attack the Kantin Kwari textile market. But when the car engine overheated, both kidnappers were distracted - one was examining the engine while the other went to look for water. Ms Ibrahim then managed to flee and a man in the Hotoro neighbourhood of Kano took her to the police. She was also brought before the Kano state governor, Umar Ganduje, who told the media: "If this woman had not regained consciousness the story would have been different by now." The woman is now in "safe custody....undergoing post-traumatic rehabilitation," Kano police spokesman Magaji Musa Majiya told the BBC's Hausa service. Police are trying to track down the vehicle in an attempt to find a second kidnapped girl, thought to be about 15 years old, he added. The other woman in the car with her may also have been drugged, Ms Ibrahim suggested. Boko Haram has staged numerous attacks using young women in the past year.

Simon Chaplin, 62, from Hebron, flicked a switch in his Peugeot 309 near Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire to release a "colossal" amount of exhaust smoke. Swansea Crown Court was told a bucket of diesel behind the passenger seat had been connected to the exhaust. Chaplin was found guilty of causing danger to other road users. PC Dafydd Campbell Birch told the court he had been forced to slow to five miles (eight km) per hour. He said he decided to stop the car on B4329 near Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, because it had a number plate which read "DE JURE", and "didn't look right". "There was a vast amount of dense smoke coming out the back. It completely obscured the road", he said. Chaplin will be sentenced at a later date. The Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) said the tower, near Newtownards, County Down, would be closed for the "foreseeable future". A spokesperson said water had damaged the tower's electrical supply and lighting. The tower was built in 1857 as a memorial to Charles Stewart, third Marquess of Londonderry. The tower is a popular tourist attraction, with visitors able to climb 122 steps to its summit. However, the NIEA said they have been forced to close the tower due to repeated water damage to the electrical system. A spokesperson said: "The NIEA has, very reluctantly, decided not to routinely open Scrabo Tower to the public for the foreseeable future. "Its exposed location makes the tower very vulnerable to wet and windy weather. "The Department of Environment has carried out works costing hundreds of thousands of pounds over the last 30 years. "Despite this, the tower continues to suffer serious water ingress. "For the second time in five years, this has damaged the electrical supply and lighting. "Without lighting, the safety of visitors would be compromised." The NIEA said they are seeking specialist advice on weatherproofing the tower and replacing the lighting supply. The agency also said the tower may open for special occasions if it is considered safe. Assistant Mayor Daniella Radice said Bristol's reputation was attracting taggers from outside the area. Police believe more than 80 people are what it called "actively offending" in the area. Ms Radice said she wanted to recognise "the contribution that street art can make, while opposing tagging". Bristol is known for its connections to street artist Banksy - the city's tourism body promotes walking tours of his murals - and is also home to Upfest, an international street art festival which is taking place in Bedminster and Southville this weekend. But Green Party councillor Ms Radice told BBC Radio Bristol: "Because we are a city that's celebrated for our street art... people think if they come and tag here, maybe they will get some extra recognition for it." She wanted to "re-write" the existing policy to help make it clearer "what we think is art and what we think is not", to include strict enforcement against tagging while supporting "street art". She said more "legal walls" might be needed - currently there is one in a park near junction 3 of the M32 - and more resources might be needed to help communities and businesses clean up tagging. Avon and Somerset Police have been running "Operation Block" alongside the council - targeting illegal graffiti and "tagging" - where people spray their signatures onto walls. Last month a man from Bournemouth received a suspended sentence after admitting 78 counts of criminal damage in the city while another man from York admitted causing damage at 15 locations. Once again, many of the main performance targets - including ambulance response times, delays in A&E, and treatment for cancer - have been missed All this against a background of increased attendances, more referrals and GPs being busier than ever So is the NHS is stuck in a never-ending cycle of soaring demand? The kitchen at Stanborough Lodge care home in Welwyn Garden City is part of the NHS frontline in the fight to ease the strain on hospitals. The health service has funded training for staff at more than 20 homes in the area in skills such as nutrition and dementia care, and that has affected day-to-day activities such as encouraging residents to help prepare healthy food. It is one of 50 schemes across England under the "Vanguard" programme - to improve care and highlight ways of working efficiently. There is close support from a GP linked to the home, and a pharmacist, Puja Vyas, who has tackled unnecessary medication. She said: "They'll be on seven or eight medicines. The most I've seen is 16. There's a lot of things that could have been stopped years ago. "I've got the time and expertise to go through the medicines they're taking, and say which ones the patient really needs." Early results are encouraging. Last month there were no falls. Before the scheme there were about eight a month. Ambulance calls are down more than 30%. The NHS is pinning a lot on these schemes, which are being trialled in a range of settings. Nigel Edwards, from health think-tank the Nuffield Trust, says the initial findings from care home vanguards are encouraging, but some other areas have not fared so well. "There are 400,000 or so people in care homes who constitute a significant amount of activity in emergency and geriatric medicine so that would definitely help. "But there's also a big demand from younger patients and patients living at home. That's been harder to deal with." So what is fuelling demand on the NHS? As well as a growing and ageing population, Nigel Edwards points to changing expectations and new treatments for patients who previously would have been beyond help. Unless the NHS adapts, he says, in the next five years it will need an extra 16,000 beds. But there is an argument the health service could manage demand comfortably, if it focussed better on patients' real needs. Hamish Dibley is an independent healthcare consultant who has worked for several health service trusts. All too often, he says, they confuse rising activity with demand - which he argues is stable and predictable. "We've seen everyone who's going to appear in the urgent care system within the first three months of every financial year, and they keep repeating and boomeranging around year on year, until ultimately they die. He says this is entirely avoidable, if the system re-directs its efforts on what he calls the "vital few". Seventy-year-old Anthony Rodwell from Berkshire is a classic example of this group. Last autumn he was told he should have an operation to remove a wisdom tooth. Then he learned he needed major heart surgery, and he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Time and again the heart operation has been put back, and the cancer treatment disrupted, because of delays to the tooth procedure. He has been seen at nine different hospitals, culminating in an emergency admission for his heart. "It seems appalling to me that you'd have to have so many appointments, speak to so many people, travel so many miles to so many different hospitals, to have different tests done. It just seems a terrible waste of resources to me." Hamish Dibley says this case shows how a failure to get different parts of the system to pull together for the patient only increases activity. Nigel Edwards argues the challenge for the NHS is not just to curb admissions: the "bigger win" is in reducing length of stay. To do that, he says it is vital to invest more in community services and social care so patients can go home promptly. But he is worried. "The community workforce is ageing. There have been reductions in some areas in numbers of community nurses. "And I think we're going to have to see the NHS pull its finger out a bit in terms of making those investments." Whatever differences there may be about why the NHS is so stretched, there is no denying that with money so tight and performance slipping on many fronts, time to find a solution is running out. Rovers trailed to a fourth-minute strike when Ashley Hunter's angled right-foot shot found the top left corner. But Matty Taylor headed home Daniel Leadbitter's cross on 61 minutes to level. And Leadbitter was again the supply line when Cristian Montano shot home right footed to win the game on 73 minutes. Rovers, who have lost just twice in 13 games, stand fifth in the table, having risen three places, now four points above 10th-placed Fleetwood. Fleetwood's livewire strikers Hunter and Chris Long caused Rovers plenty of problems in the first half, both having efforts saved. But, at the other end, Taylor forced three saves from Chris Neal and had another effort deflected over. Match ends, Bristol Rovers 2, Fleetwood Town 1.

And yet the net effect here in the Midlands, with its famous clusters of 'marginal' seats is that the Conservatives have one more seat than they did before and Labour have one fewer. Our famous 'swing seats' simply didn't swing. But it is by changing so little that our part of the country has changed so much, helping to put paid to all that talk of a Conservative majority. Yes, the Conservatives won seats from Labour in the biggest Leave-supporting areas, Walsall North and Stoke South. But their efforts to shift the front line of the electoral battle into the biggest cities backfired spectacularly. Labour strengthened in Coventry, Wolverhampton and Birmingham. I was at the count in Birmingham Edgbaston where the Conservatives needed a three-and-a half percent swing, a basic prerequisite for that 'stronger hand' Theresa May once talked about. But there, as elsewhere, it was Labour who did best out of the ex-UKIP vote and the shrinkage of the Liberal Democrats. Now UKIP face an existential crisis here. While the Liberal Democrats may have come within 2,500 of the Conservatives in Cheltenham, in their two other former seats, Birmingham Yardley and Solihull, they trailed badly into third place: perhaps they may now have to think of going back to their old style of 'pavement politics.' Bob Bird, 56, was charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice over Mr Sheridan's successful action against the newspaper in 2006. He was detained at his Glasgow home at 07:30 and released four hours later. Officers are investigating allegations of perjury and phone hacking as part of the Operation Rubicon probe. Speaking following his release, Mr Bird said: "I just want to say that I'm very sad, very disappointed that things have come to this. "I have always done my best to do the right thing throughout the 30/40 years of my journalistic career and I will be denying the charge against me. "On legal advice I can't say any more at the moment." By Reevel AldersonHome affairs correspondent, BBC Scotland Q&A: Detaining suspects in Scotland Mr Bird edited the now defunct Scottish edition of the News of the World when it ran allegations about Mr Sheridan's private life. The former MSP successfully sued the newspaper for defamation in 2006 and was awarded £200,000 damages. A subsequent police investigation saw Mr Sheridan charged, convicted of perjury and jailed for three years. He was released after serving just over one year of his sentence. Mr Bird gave evidence at the original defamation trial brought by Mr Sheridan in 2006 and his subsequent perjury trial at the end of 2010. The journalist was detained at his Glasgow home by officers from the Operation Rubicon probe on Wednesday morning and questioned at Govan Police station, at Helen Street. In a statement, the Strathclyde force said: "Officers from Operation Rubicon at Strathclyde Police have arrested and charged a 56-year-old man with attempting to pervert the course of justice in 2006 arising from his conduct at the time of the defamation action of Thomas Sheridan v News Group Newspapers Limited. "A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal in Glasgow, in due course. It would be inappropriate to comment further." Mr Bird is the third senior News of the World figure to be questioned by Operation Rubicon officers. Earlier this month, Douglas Wight, a former news editor at the News of the World Scotland, was arrested and charged in connection with the perjury trial of Mr Sheridan. The 39-year-old was charged with perjury, conspiracy to hack telephones and multiple charges of conspiracy to obtain personal data. In May, Prime Minister David Cameron's former director of communications Andy Coulson was arrested and charged over evidence he gave at Mr Sheridan's perjury trial. The former News of the World editor was charged with committing perjury during the trial in 2010. Following Mr Bird's arrest, Mr Sheridan's solicitor Gordon Dangerfield said "we look forward to the whole truth coming out in court at last". All the points came in the first half, with Deborah McCormack's try cancelled out by a converted Vanesa Rial score. Shade Munro's side pounded the Spanish line for long spells in the second 40 minutes but could not make their territory count. The decisive leg takes place in Madrid on 26 November, with a place in Pool B in next year's tournament at stake. The victors will join holders England, the United States and Italy in the finals in Ireland. Spain lost to Scotland in a friendly last year, but Munro claimed pre-match his side were the underdogs this time around, given the number of returning Olympic sevens athletes in the Spanish ranks. On a wet and blustery Glasgow evening, one such Olympian - Patricia Garcia - booted Spain ahead early on with a penalty in front of the Scottish posts. At the other end, Scotland's failure to translate long periods of phase play in the Spanish 22 to points on the scoreboard proved decisive. McCormack's first try for her country was the sole reward for their pressure, the lock crashing over in the corner to nudge Scotland ahead. Lana Skeldon's touchline conversion attempt fell some way short and Spain regained the lead minutes later when centre Rial took advantage of slick passing to dummy and score, Garcia converting smartly. The visitors hammered away at the Scottish rearguard immediately after the break, puncturing the hosts' midfield with smart running lines and neat handling. The Spaniards were adjudged to have been stopped just short of the Scottish whitewash by TMO Neil Paterson and the home defence managed to hold the ball up when Spain did force their way across the line. Scotland full-back Chloe Rollie almost weaved her way to a wonderful try when she dummied and stepped to within a metre of the line, but the visiting defence held firm, earning a penalty and clearing their lines. With five minutes remaining, Scotland kicked a penalty to touch at the corner, and tried to maul their way to a score-levelling try, but the Spanish pack were able to bundle them out of play. It was merely a temporary reprieve, though, as the Scots pinched the ball back from the resultant line-out and, several phases later, it took a last-ditch tackle to heave Eilidh Sinclair into touch on the opposite flank. Munro's side continued to labour away until the clock turned red but were made to pay for their lack of precision and ruthlessness in the Spanish 22.

Harris made 79 appearances for the Blades after joining from Blackpool in January 2014, but he has been without a club since being released last May.

More than 30 firefighters tackled the blaze on Ardent II after being called out at about 05:40 on Tuesday. The boat's crew have all been accounted for and there are no reports of any injuries. The fire took nearly four hours to bring under control. President Barrow's plane touched down at Banjul airport where jubilant crowds waited to welcome him. Mr Barrow, who has been in neighbouring Senegal, won elections in December. However a handover was stalled when Mr Jammeh, Gambia's president of 22 years, refused to step aside. He left for exile at the weekend after mediation by regional leaders and the threat of military intervention. Mr Barrow, dressed in white robes and a cap, stepped off the plane in Banjul as heavily armed troops from Senegal and Nigeria stood by. Overhead, a fighter jet from the West African force guaranteeing the new president's security performed fly-pasts. "I am a happy man today," Mr Barrow told a reporter from the Associated Press in the crush at the airport, adding: "I think the bad part is finished now." The president said his priority was to appoint his cabinet and "then get the ball rolling". The BBC's Umaru Fofana in Banjul said that thousands of people had tried to force their way into the airport to see Mr Barrow return and they burst into celebration as soon as his plane touched down. President Barrow was driven from the airport in a convoy of cars and waved to the crowds who lined the route. Supporter Ibrahima Gaye said Mr Barrow would be different from Mr Jammeh "in all aspects". "We have been living under dictatorship for 22 years. You can go home at night and sleep without worrying you will be arrested before daybreak," he said. President Barrow is staying at his own home while a security assessment is carried out at the official residence, State House. Mr Barrow was sworn in as president at the Gambian embassy in Senegal a week ago, but a public inauguration on home soil is planned soon, aides say. The UN envoy for West Africa, Mohamed ibn Chambas, has said the UN will help guarantee security in The Gambia. Several thousand West African soldiers remain in The Gambia amid reports that rogue pro-Jammeh elements are embedded in the country's security forces. The West African force had threatened to drive Mr Jammeh from office if he did not agree to go. The new president has asked for the force to remain in The Gambia for six months. His spokesman Halifa Sallah said an inauguration was being planned for the national stadium in Banjul. "It will be an occasion to show strength. Everyone will be invited. The president will address his people,'' he told Senegalese radio. Mr Jammeh, who was a 29-year-old army lieutenant when he came to power in a 1994 coup, had refused to accept the results of the December election. After his departure, reports emerged that more than $11m (£8.8m) had disappeared from The Gambia's state coffers. However a presidential adviser said the police had been asked to investigate and would determine if anything was missing. Mr Jammeh has not commented on the allegations. In other developments, parliament has cancelled the state of emergency declared by Mr Jammeh last week. It also revoked legislation that would have extended its life for a further 90 days. The two clubs agreed a deal for the 18-year-old on Wednesday. Fraser made his debut for the Scottish Premier League side at the age of 16 and made 23 appearances for the club in all competitions. Meanwhile the Cherries have signed former Leyton Orient keeper Ryan Allsop, 20, on a contract lasting until the summer of 2016. Allsop had made 24 appearances for the O's this season but turned down the offer of a new deal earlier this week. Speaking about Fraser's arrival, Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe told the club website: "He's only 18 but he's very, very highly regarded in the world of football." 25 May 2016 Last updated at 10:05 BST The remain campaigner debated Conservative MEP and longstanding Brexit supporter Daniel Hannan. Mr Izzard said the "European project" to live as one continent is the first of its kind. Mr Hannan, who has represented the South East in Brussels since 1999, claims the EU has been "corrupt and cut-off from the people it purports to represent". Business Correspondent Alastair Fee reports. Instead it is his lyrics and songwriting that have changed rock and pop music and earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature. As the austere 1950s gave way to the free-wheeling '60s, Bob Dylan was the voice of his generation - the original singer-songwriter who both led and chronicled the social revolution that changed the world. He has never had the greatest voice by traditional standards; indeed, that was part of his appeal. But he did create a new template for the singer as a poet and artist. Allen Ginsberg called him the greatest poet of the second half of the 20th Century and former Poet Laureate Sir Andrew Motion has said he listens to Dylan almost every day. On Thursday Per Wastberg, chair of the Nobel literature committee, said he is "probably the greatest living poet". Certainly no other rock musician has had their lyrics more analysed, anthologised and eulogised. After the 1950s, in which pop music had been dominated by the likes of Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly, Dylan was a free spirit who drew on literary influences to convey the political mood of the time. And he delved into his inner self to summon songs that set the blueprint for the confessional singer. His anthemic melodies, unorthodox voice and ruffled appearance were big parts of his appeal to the new, liberated generation. But that alone would not have been enough to touch so many so deeply, let alone be recognised by the Nobel panel. In a speech accepting an award last year, he explained: "These songs of mine, they're like mystery stories, the kind that Shakespeare saw when he was growing up. I think you could trace what I do back that far." The young Dylan was heavily inspired by poets like Arthur Rimbaud and John Keats, and his poetic influence is even in his name. When Robert Zimmerman began performing folk songs in coffee houses, he renamed himself after Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. He was also influenced by dustbowl "folkies" like Woody Guthrie and country star Hank Williams. Yet Dylan moved beyond their traditions. Meanwhile, the Cold War was at its height and America was racked by internal turmoil as the burgeoning civil rights movement clashed with the conservative middle class. It was Dylan who would provide the musical backdrop to these troubled times. Using simple chords and universal metaphors, Dylan managed to tap into the zeitgeist of the era like no other, bridging the gap between folk and mainstream pop with songs such as Blowin' in the Wind and The Times They are A-Changin'. Tunes including Like a Rolling Stone, Just Like a Woman and Lay Lady Lay followed as the 1960s went on, and Dylan easily moved beyond the pigeon-hole of protest singer. The songs became anthems and were covered by hundreds of artists. When he "went electric" at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, he horrified the assembled audience in one of the seminal moments in music history. The sweet folk troubadour had transformed himself into a hedonistic rock star, with trademark dark glasses hiding eyes glazed by drink and drugs. After a motorcycle accident and a subsequent seclusion, he made a comeback in the mid-1970s. It culminated in 1975's Blood on the Tracks album, largely inspired by the break-up of his marriage and hailed as a return to form. Three years later, after Dylan witnessed a vision of Christ in an Arizona hotel room, his lyrics became full of Biblical references and reflected themes of faith and morality. His albums continued to be received with interest - if often mixed reviews - and in 1988 he began what came to be known as the "Never-Ending Tour", constantly reinterpreting his own songs on stage. Just as it seemed he was losing his relevance, his 1997 album Time Out of Mind, with its dark themes of mortality, proved another landmark release. It won three Grammys including best album. In 2006, at 65, he became the oldest living artist to enter the Billboard chart at number one with Modern Times. As he slipped into legendary status, an avalanche of honours flowed: A Kennedy Center Honour, an Oscar, a Pulitzer Prize, a Golden Globe, the Presidential Medal of Freedom - and, most recently, a Nobel Prize. He was awarded the prize in October and is accepting it in Sweden this weekend. Dylan has also published books, like 1971's experimental Tarantula, the collection Writings and Drawings and the autobiography Chronicles. But it is the poetry in his music that has earned him the literature world's highest honour.

In an game of few chances Bradford's Tony McMahon curled a free-kick wide before Millwall striker Aiden O'Brien sliced over Steve Morison's cross. Lions' keeper Jordan Archer produced a good save to keep out Jamie Proctor, with the rebound ruled out for offside. With 11 minutes remaining substitute Steven Davies headed in Nathan Clarke's cross to earn the valuable points. The victory moved Bradford into sixth place, above Barnsley, who were held to a 0-0 draw with Scunthorpe on Friday. Millwall's first defeat since 16 February leaves them a point above the Bantams in fifth. But opposition parties said the amount of cash going direct to councils will be cut in real terms. Mr Mackay also confirmed he will not change income tax rates or bands - but will not replicate the UK Treasury's tax cut for higher earners. This means the 40% income tax rate will start at £43,430 in Scotland. But it will start at £45,000 elsewhere in the UK. The finance secretary also said £120m of government money will be given directly to schools, with head teachers deciding how the money will be spent. The funding will replace plans to use council-tax revenues to tackle the attainment gap, with Mr Mackay instead stating local authorities will keep extra cash raised as a result of council-tax reforms. The Scottish Conservatives said Scotland was now the highest-taxed part of the UK, and accused Mr Mackay of giving to councils with one hand while taking with the other. And Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said Mr Mackay had "acted like a Tory chancellor" as she said his measures would cut £327m from council budgets. The ending of the council tax freeze in April 2017 will mean that local government leaders can increase the charge by up to 3%. Mr Mackay insisted the proposed local government finance settlement and changes to local taxation would mean £240m of additional money to support local government services. But while budget papers show a new chunk of cash going directly from the government to local services such as schools and social care partnerships, they also show a decrease in the pot of money that goes direct to councils. Councillor David O'Neill, president of local government body Cosla, said it could "never endorse a reduction to the core local government settlement as announced as part of the budget statement today", and warned it would impact on local services. The SLGP - which includes Aberdeen, Glasgow, Renfrewshire and South Lanarkshire councils - said Mr Mackay had used "smoke and mirrors to try and disguise the SNP's slash and burn economic strategy". It depends, as ever, upon definitions. Should we talk about money for local government? Or money for local services? If we consider cash for councils, then opposition parties can point to figures which indicate that the budget is down. However, if we consider funding for services in the round, then ministers can point to figures which suggest that the level of financial support is up. To offer a little more detail. Please turn to Table 9.02 in the Draft Budget document. It is on Page 91 in the book version. I know, I know, I sound like that maths teacher you disliked but bear with me. This table cites Level 2 expenditure upon local government. Combining local government cash with central government grant support produces a cut of £327m from 2016/17 to 2017/18. That is the figure cited by Labour. But, says the Scottish government, those are stripped-down stats. More info is available at Level 3 (Table 9.12, Page 101). That includes other funding streams and generates a cut of £182m across the relevant years. But, says the SG a second time, that neglects other methods of providing funding for local services, albeit not necessarily through local authorities. According to Mr Mackay, the entire package added up to "an increase in spending power on local government services" of £240.6m. Note his precise use of language. All of this, of course, with an eye to next May's local council elections - in addition to the immediate impact. Will voters heed the cry of "council cuts"? Or will they listen to "service delivery"? And which one will they believe? Read more from Brian On income tax, Mr Mackay told MSPs that he was "sympathetic" to calls for the top rate for those earning more than £150,000 to be increased from 45p to 50p. But he said: "In using the Scotland Act income tax powers for the very first time, we must have a balanced approach. "Let me be clear, I will not pass the costs of UK austerity on to the household budgets of the lowest-income taxpayers." Mr Mackay announced £60m for the first phase of the plan to expand early learning and childcare to 1,140 hours. And he pledged a £3m package of "targeted" rail fare reductions "to ease costs for passengers and thank them for their patience" following criticism of the performance of ScotRail. Business rates poundage will be reduced by 3.7% to 46.6p. And 100,000 properties will be exempt from business rates under the small business bonus scheme by increasing the 100% relief threshold to £15,000. Mr Mackay said he would deliver on the SNP's commitment to protect the police resource budget in real-terms, and announced an additional £300m for the NHS resource budgets - £120m more than inflation. The Scottish government will also use £47m to mitigate the bedroom tax and will "abolish" it at the earliest opportunity, Mr Mackay said. The finance secretary said his budget would deliver £700m of additional spending on the economy and public services. And he said he wanted to protect "vital local services", saying that there will be "no overall reduction" in local government funding. But the finance secretary said Scotland's GDP was forecast to grow by about 1% in 2016-17 and 1.3% in 2017-18, compared to about 2% a year previously. Among his other commitments were: Scottish Conservative finance spokesman Murdo Fraser said his party could not support the budget proposals as they stand. Mr Fraser said: "He (Mr Mackay) had the choice to use these new powers to support economic growth, and to tackle our underperforming economy. "It is much to be regretted that he has chosen instead to hike taxes on families and businesses in Scotland, risking choking off economic recovery and depriving Scottish public services of vital tax revenue. "This will make Scotland the highest taxed part of the United Kingdom, and as it stands this is not a budget we can support". Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said there would be a real-terms cut of £327m for councils, which would "rip the heart out of local services". Ms Dugdale said: "However the finance secretary tries to spin it, today's budget means a real terms cut of £327m from the SNP government to local services. "And they're making up the difference by holding councils to ransom - forcing them to use their tax powers, while they refuse to use theirs. "They could have asked the richest 1% to pay a little more with a 50p tax, but they refuse." The Scottish Greens said the draft budget was "modest in its ambitions when bold measures are needed to tackle poverty and protect public services". And Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie welcomed the government's u-turn on the use of council-tax funds but said the budget fell "well short" of what was needed to improve educational attainment levels. Liam Miller, 20, from Terrington, near Malton, was found at a house in Hamilton Drive at about 10:20 BST on Monday. He was taken to hospital but died from his injuries. A second man, in his fifties, was also injured in the incident. A 19-year-old man who was arrested at the scene remains in hospital. Mr Miller's family said in a statement: "We are absolutely devastated by Liam's untimely death. We cannot put into words the shock and disbelief we feel about what has happened. "Liam was just 20 years old and had his whole life ahead of him. We will miss him more than words can say." Mr Miller had returned home for the summer from Liverpool John Moores University where he was studying graphic design and illustration. Police said they were treating the attack on the second man, who went to Mr Miller's assistance, as attempted murder. Det Insp Mark Pearson said: "We know from our enquiries that the second victim, a local man in his fifties, was chased along Hamilton Drive West where he was stabbed close to the junction with Lady Hamilton Gardens. "We know that the man desperately tried to flag down passing motorists for assistance and we are appealing for those motorists to contact us." "The ship has just left the port," the head of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Ahmet Uzumcu, said in The Hague. An investigation into alleged use of chlorine in Syria's civil war is still ongoing, Mr Uzumcu added. More than 160,000 people have died in three years of the Syrian conflict. The operation to completely destroy Syria's chemical weapons stockpile was meant to have been completed by 30 June but is now several months behind schedule. Fighting and the threat of attack by rebel groups severely delayed the removal of the weapons, analysts say. The Syrian government approved the initiative last year after a chemical weapons attack outside Damascus left hundreds of people dead. The US had threatened missile strikes on military sites in the country. The final 8% of the 1,300-tonne stockpile was loaded on to ships in the Syrian port of Latakia on Monday, Mr Uzumcu said. The chemical cargo is being shipped to a specially modified US naval vessel, the MV Cape Ray. The destruction of the most toxic agents will take place on board, at an undisclosed location somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea. The remaining chemicals will be destroyed in Finland, the US and Britain. However, the BBC's Anna Holligan says many military experts suspect President Bashar al-Assad may not have revealed the full extent of his chemical capabilities. A recent OPCW fact finding mission concluded that chlorine gas is likely to have been used in "systematic attacks" in Syria. Mr Uzumcu said the consequent investigation into use of chlorine, which is being jointly carried out with the UN, "may take a little more time." Chlorine is an industrial chemical and was not part of the weapons stockpile that Syria agreed to hand over. However, use of it as a weapon would contravene conventions signed by President Assad.

"Callum showed incredible character and determination to come back last season," said Cherries boss Eddie Howe. "We know he has the same strength and will do the same again." Wilson's injury last season occurred in a game at Stoke on 26 September and he returned just over six months later, on 9 April in a substitute appearance against Aston Villa. Capped once by England Under-21s against France in 2014, the former Coventry forward has scored six goals in 20 league appearances for Bournemouth this season. A Dutch court rejected attempts by a group of shareholders to force a special shareholder meeting aimed at ousting the company's chairman. Antony Burgmans is seen as the main obstacle to the PPG takeover bid. Hedge fund Elliott Advisors, which brought the case to court, has urged Akzo to "engage" with PPG. But The Enterprise Chamber, a commercial court of the Netherlands, ruled that Akzo was not required to hold the special meeting or to include investors in its response to the PPG bid. A spokesperson for Elliott Advisors said it was "disappointed". "Elliott is considering the implications of this judgment for shareholder rights in the Netherlands and for its next steps in relation to Akzo Nobel," he added. Akzo has rejected three successive takeover offers from PPG since March, saying the €26.9bn (£22.8bn) offer undervalued the firm and showed a "lack of cultural understanding of the brand". The Dutch company, which claims its own plans for growth are superior, has also been urged to reject the merger by the Dutch government and its own workers. PPG will now need to decide whether to walk away from Akzo Nobel, or go directly to shareholders with a hostile takeover offer. The US firm suggested its third bid earlier this month was its last friendly attempt to merge with Akzo and indicated it had not ruled out putting the matter directly to shareholders. Under official takeover rules, the firm has until 1 June to decide. After the court ruling, PPG said it "remains willing to meet with Akzo Nobel regarding a potential combination of the two companies". "But without productive engagement, PPG will assess and decide whether or not to pursue an offer for Akzo Nobel," it said. Akzo says its own plans for the firm - which involve spinning off its chemicals division into a separate business - would better serve shareholders. It has promised to increase its dividend for 2017 by half and pay a €1bn special cash dividend in November. The champions top the table going into the New Year on goal difference only from Aberdeen, though with two games in hand. "So far Aberdeen have done well and are a good football team," Deila said. "I've said it all along that we'll have to wait till the end of March before we see what the title race will be like." Deila hopes by that stage his team will have pulled away from the chasing pack. ''Hopefully it's just us, that's what we want and we have to do all we can to win every game," he said. "The first one is on Saturday against Partick Thistle.'' Media playback is not supported on this device While acknowledging there is pressure on him and his players, Deila believes his squad's experience gives Celtic an edge over their domestic opponents. "There is pressure on every team, you need consistency you need to be able to cope with the situation and have unbelievable discipline and we have experience of it," said the Norwegian. "I want to look forward to the New Year. We have so much to play for I'm excited by it. "I saw a lot of positive things against Hearts which I want to see more of. There was very good energy of the whole team and I want to see more of that on Saturday." In 2015 Deila has enjoyed success in the Premiership and League Cup, but also endured failure in European competitions. He insists though that the year's end will not prompt him to reflect on the team's successes and failures. ''We are constantly evaluating things, so New Year is nothing special in that aspect," he said. "It's all about small details like being more direct and getting in behind defences or pressing teams more. Small details can make things right." It is the first time in 20 years that the Gunners, who finished fifth in the Premier League last season, have started a season in Europe's second-tier competition. Everton are in the same group as Lyon, who host the final on 16 May 2018. The Toffees will also face Italian Serie A side Atalanta and Apollon Limassol of Cyprus. Everton, who completed their play-off victory over Croatian side Hajduk Split on Thursday, are in Europe for the first time since 2014-15. The 48-team draw for this season's competition included Sweden's Ostersund, managed by Englishman Graham Potter, the former Stoke City and West Brom full-back. Ostersund will play Spain's Athletic Bilbao, Germany's Hertha Berlin and Zorya Luhansk of Ukraine. The group stage begins on 14 September. Group A: Villarreal, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Astana, Slavia Prague. Group B: Dynamo Kiev, Young Boys, Partizan Belgrade, Skenderbeu. Group C: Sporting Braga, Ludogorets, Hoffenheim, Istanbul Basaksehir. Group D: AC Milan, Austria Vienna , Rijeka, AEK Athens. Group E: Lyon, Everton, Atalanta, Apollon Limassol. Group F: FC Copenhagen, Lokomotiv Moscow, Sheriff Tiraspol, FC Zlin. Group G: Vitoria Plzen, Steaua Bucarest, Hapoel Beer-Sheva, FC Lugano. Group H: Arsenal, BATE Borisov, Cologne, Red Star Belgrade. Group I: Salzburg, Marseille, Vitoria Guimaraes, Konyaspor. Group J: Athletic Bilbao, Hertha Berlin, Zorya Luhansk, Ostersund. Group K: Lazio, Nice, Zulte Waregem, Vitesse Arnhem. Group L: Zenit St Petersburg, Real Sociedad, Rosenborg, Vardar. Net earnings for the first three months of the year were $2.75bn (£1.84bn), up 41% from a year earlier. Net revenue came in at $10.6bn, up 14%. This was the highest quarterly revenue in four years, the bank said. Separately, Citigroup posted net income of $4.77bn, up by a fifth compared with a year ago. Despite the jump in profits, total revenue fell slightly to $19.74bn. A 10% fall in costs, largely legal and restructuring, amounting to almost $1.3bn, helped explain the increased profitability. "We are pleased with our results this quarter and the fact that all of our major businesses contributed," said Goldman chief executive Lloyd Blankfein. "Given more normalised markets and higher levels of client activity, we remain encouraged about the prospects for continued growth." Net revenues at Goldman's investment banking arm were up 7% at $1.91bn, while those at the bank's fund management arm were flat at $1.5bn. The best performing division was market making - which provides liquidity to the market by setting bid and offer prices to brokers wanting to buy and sell shares - where net revenues came in at $3.93bn, up 49% on a year earlier. The overall earnings figures were slightly below expectations, and Goldman shares were down about 1% in early trading in New York. This week has seen a number of big US banks, including JP Morgan and Bank of America, report improved earnings.

The list of Westminster battleground seats in Wales has not changed much over the years. There is a set of usual suspects where Labour and the Conservatives slug it out and a smaller set of seats where Plaid Cymru or the Liberal Democrats are in contention. 2017 is different though if current polling is anywhere near accurate and unless things change dramatically. Traditional marginals such as Cardiff North, the Vale of Glamorgan and Aberconwy seem to be off the table. And Labour bankers such as Bridgend, Newport West and Delyn are in play. Those last three are seats the Conservatives have won before but that was back in Margaret Thatcher's annus mirabilis of 1983 when the Tories won a record 14 seats. That number might not be the limit though if seats like the Wrexhams and Clwyd Souths of this world come in to play as some optimistic Tories expect. And the Conservatives are not the only people eyeing up Labour seats. Plaid Cymru are bullish about their chances in Ynys Mon - a seat where they narrowly missed out two years ago. The Liberal Democrats will also throw everything they have got at their former stronghold of Cardiff Central. All in all it's an election that could not have come at a worse time for Labour, although at least the UKIP threat in the party's ex-mining bastions seems to be fading But, and it is a big but, elections are fickle, unpredictable things and these are very unpredictable times. We may or we may not arrive at the destination Theresa May hopes for. What is certain is that there will be plenty of twists on the way.

After Prime Minister Theresa May called a June general election, where could potential shocks come when the country goes to the polls?

Meirion Jones told the Panorama programme looking into the Savile scandal that he had emailed Newsnight editor Peter Rippon on 7 December 2011. "I was sure the story would come out one way or another and... the BBC would be accused of a cover-up," he said. The BBC says it will not comment while an investigation takes place. Police have launched a criminal inquiry after saying that former BBC presenter and DJ Savile, who died in October 2011 aged 84, may have sexually abused many people, including young girls, over a 40-year period - sometimes on BBC premises. They are investigating about 400 lines of inquiry which may involve other offenders. Allegations regarding Savile's conduct came to light following an ITV investigation broadcast on 3 October - nearly 10 months after it had emerged that a similar Newsnight report had been axed by the BBC. In a chain of emails between Newsnight journalists and Mr Rippon, Mr Jones said his editor's emphasis on what the programme's report was about changed from revealing Savile as a paedophile to being about establishing why the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) had dropped an investigation into sexual abuse claims regarding Savile made by several women. Mr Rippon later said he felt the story had fallen short and decided not to pursue it further. He stressed in a posting on the BBC Editors' blog that he was in no way pressured into his decision because of a potentially embarrassing clash with the planned BBC tributes to Savile over Christmas 2011. Panorama found no evidence to contradict that view. Mr Rippon stressed in his blog that the story had been pulled for editorial reasons, arguing the story would have been much stronger if Newsnight could have proven some institutional failure by the police - which it had failed to do. The Newsnight editor has not responded to the points Panorama has raised. BBC director general George Entwistle has announced two inquiries regarding the sex abuse claims. The first is looking at why the Newsnight investigation was shelved and is being led by Nick Pollard. It is expected to report in December. The second will be led by former Court of Appeal judge Dame Janet Smith DB and will examine the culture of the BBC during the years that Savile worked there. The results are expected in spring 2013. Panorama found that at an awards luncheon at the Hilton hotel on 2 December 2011, BBC director of news Helen Boaden told Mr Entwistle, the then director of Vision - which oversees BBC TV commissioning and programming - about the Newsnight investigation and its possible impact on the planned tributes to Savile. Ms Boaden told him that if the Newsnight investigation went ahead, he might have to change the Christmas schedules. The conversation is said to have taken "less than 10 seconds". Both Mr Entwistle and Ms Boaden have not provided responses to the points raised by Panorama. John Whittingdale, chairman of the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee - which will take evidence from the director general on Tuesday - said the reasons for dropping the Newsnight report remained unclear and insisted Mr Entwistle had serious questions to answer. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Whittingdale said: "If you were the director of Vision, you were told at the time you were commissioning programmes paying tribute to Jimmy Savile that Newsnight might be about to reveal a bombshell, you wouldn't just have a 10-second conversation. "You'd say, 'tell me more, I'm about to go public putting out these programmes making out that Jimmy Savile was this saint'. "And yet it appears from this he didn't even ask a question about what the Newsnight investigation was about." Both Mr Jones and fellow Newsnight journalist Liz MacKean told Panorama that the story they had worked on for a month was halted when they felt it was close to transmission. Mr Jones said he was certain the story would eventually come out and the BBC would be accused of a cover-up. "In fact I wrote an email to Peter saying 'the story is strong enough' and the danger of not running it is 'substantial damage to BBC reputation'." Liz MacKean said of Mr Rippon's decision to drop the story: "All I can say is that it was an abrupt change in tone from, you know, one day 'excellent, let's prepare to get this thing on air' to 'hold on'." She added: "I was very unhappy the story didn't run because I felt we'd spoken to people who collectively deserved to be heard and they weren't heard and I thought that was a failing... I felt very much that I'd let them down." Ms MacKean also expressed concern about how the decision to abandon the story has been portrayed at the highest levels of the BBC as being about Surrey Police's investigation. Speaking to Panorama she said: "Ever since the decision was taken to shelve our story, I've not been happy with the public statements made by the BBC. I think they're very misleading about the nature of the investigation we were doing. "The story we were investigating was very clear cut. It was about Jimmy Savile being a paedophile and using his status as a charity fundraiser and television presenter to get access to places where there were vulnerable teenage girls he could abuse." Speaking to the BBC, Radio 4's Media Show presenter, Steve Hewlett, said the way the organisation had explained its reasons for dropping the Newsnight report were at best partial and arguably misleading - and had fuelled suspicion about corporate influence in the decision. On 5 October 2012, the BBC's Mr Entwistle wrote to staff about the controversy: "The BBC Newsnight programme investigated Surrey Police's enquiry into Jimmy Savile towards the end of 2011." Mr Jones immediately emailed Mr Entwistle taking issue with that account. He wrote: "George - one note - the investigation was into whether Jimmy Savile was a paedophile - I know because it was my investigation. We didn't know that Surrey Police had investigated Jimmy Savile - no-one did - that was what we found when we investigated and interviewed his victims." Veteran BBC foreign editor John Simpson said the questions swirling around the BBC's handling of the Newsnight investigation is the worst crisis to hit the public broadcaster in his almost 50-year career. "All we have as an organisation is the trust of the people, the people that watch us and listen to us and if we don't have that, if we start to lose that, that's very dangerous I think for the BBC."

The Newsnight producer behind the dropped Sir Jimmy Savile investigation warned his editor that the BBC was at risk of being accused of a cover-up.

The girl may have had access to "ecstasy type tablets" at the party in Newtongrange, Police Scotland said. She died at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after falling ill on Saturday. The force said the warning related to "red bugatti veyron and purple ninja turtle" tablets and "strongly urged" people not to take them. "Inquiries into the circumstances surrounding [the girl's] death are at a very early stage, however one line of inquiry officers are following is that she may have had access to ecstasy type tablets," it said in a statement. "Anyone who has taken these tablets is urged to seek immediate medical attention. "Police Scotland's message is clear. There is no safe illegal drug and no safe way to take illegal drugs." The 146-year-old club have released a statement saying that a "change of control" to allow brother and sister Dai Yongge and Dai Xiu Li to take over has been conditionally approved. The pair began negotiations with Reading's Thai owners in November. The Premier League, who have a say in takeovers of clubs who could compete in their league, are said to be cautious. Yongge failed in an attempt to buy Hull City in September after reportedly not meeting the Football Association's fit and proper persons test. The club statement released on Sunday evening said: "Upon receipt of a letter on Friday from Shaun Harvey, the Chief Executive of the EFL, Reading Football Club can now confirm that an application for a proposed change of control at the club has been conditionally approved. "The club will now spend the coming weeks working diligently with the EFL, our current shareholders and both to ensure the application meets those specific conditions and all the relevant EFL regulations." Reading have been owned by the Thai consortium of Lady Sasima Srivikorn, Sumrith Thanakarnjanasuth and Narin Niruttinanon since September 2014. The Championship side are fourth in the table with five games to go, although they were hit by six first-half goals in Saturday's 7-1 defeat to outside promotion contenders Norwich City at Carrow Road. Christopher John Hampton, of Fishponds, Bristol, has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at the city's magistrates' court on Monday. Melanie, 17, was sexually assaulted and stabbed multiple times in her chest and back during the early hours of 9 June 1984. Her body was found in front of garages near St Stephens Road. Det Insp Julie Mackay, of Avon and Somerset Police, said: "We've been keeping Melanie's family fully updated on the progress of this investigation and they're aware of this latest development." Sharapova, the 2004 champion, broke her Romanian opponent in the 10th game of the opening set on Court One. The Russian led 5-0 in the second set and held off a fightback to set up a match with unseeded Zarina Diyas. Venus Williams reached the fourth round for the first time since 2011, while there were also wins for Lucie Safarova and Eastbourne champion Belinda Bencic. The 18-year-old Swiss player is into the last 16 for the first time as she beat American Bethanie Mattek-Sands 7-5 7-5. Czech sixth seed Safarova, the beaten French Open finalist, came from one set down to beat American Sloane Stephens 3-6 6-3 6-1. Australia's 22nd seed Samantha Stosur lost 6-2 6-0 to unseeded American Coco Vandeweghe, despite winning the first two games of the match. Belarus's Victoria Azarenka, the 23rd seed, also advanced into the next round, beating France's Kristina Mladenovic 6-4 6-4. Sharapova has only made it past the last 16 once in the last eight years but told BBC Sport that she expected a successful tournament this time. "I made it more difficult for myself in the first set but I felt good in the second set," said Sharapova. "She was not going to go away so I was happy I was able to finish it off. "You expect to go further and on to better things. As the matches get tougher, you have to raise your game and that's why there's only one champion. "You have to have the belief and I absolutely do. You don't work all these hours in practice to not believe in yourself. I want to be the winner and I will do my best to do so." Teenager Bencic, seeded 30th, trailed 5-1 in the first set against Mattek-Sands before winning the next six games. World number 158 Mattek-Sands, who beat seventh seed Ana Ivanovic in the previous round, could not cause another upset as Bencic set up a match against Azarenka next. Venus Williams, a Wimbledon champion in 2000, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008, claimed a routine 6-3 6-2 win over Serbia's Aleksandra Krunic. The American will now play sister Serena after she beat Great Britain's Heather Watson 6-2 4-6 7-5 in a thrilling match on Centre Court. That sets up the 26th career meeting between the sisters and the first at a Grand Slam since Serena won in the 2009 Wimbledon final. Overall, Serena leads 14-11. Home-owners borrowed a total of £22bn in the month, the highest amount since July 2008. The CML said total mortgage lending for the year was likely to hit £209bn, which would mean a 3% increase on 2014. It also said it expected lending to pick up in the second half of the year, following "subdued activity" earlier. "We expect lending activity in the rest of the year to be underpinned by improving economic fundamentals, but kept in check as any upward pressure on house prices further stretches affordability for some buyers," said CML economist Mohammed Jamei. The total amount of money lent naturally gets bigger as house prices rise, and home-owners need to borrow more. The first minister has said a second independence referendum could be triggered if the rest of the UK votes to leave the EU but Scotland does not. But she argued that the UK was far better off staying in the European Union. Scottish Brexit campaigners accused the SNP of being out of touch with voters. Ahead of the referendum on Thursday, Ms Sturgeon told the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme she remained committed to Scottish independence. But in a message to independence supporters she said: "If you're basing your decision, and as I say I'm not, but if you are basing your decision on what you think is best for the case for Scottish independence, then do not vote to leave - vote to remain." The first minister said Scottish government officials were looking at "all options" if voters in the UK back an EU exit. She added: "I think it would be very important for example that if we're in this scenario, and I hope we're not in this scenario, but if we're in this scenario, then Scotland's voice should be heard very directly in any discussions about what happens." Conservative MSP Graham Simpson, who wants Britain to leave the EU, said the SNP was not in tune with its supporters. Mr Simpson told the programme: "It's simply not credible that every single SNP parliamentarian thinks the same way on this issue. "If you're a nationalist, which clearly I'm not, it seems to me its the natural thing to want to leave the European Union, and many nationalist voters do." The 73-year-old presented a three-hour live show, Soul Party, on Radio 2 on New Year's Eve, opening with Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive. Blackburn said of his return: "I went for a long walk and got lost. Somebody found me yesterday." The show was his first broadcast since he was taken off air in February over the Jimmy Savile inquiry. Director general Tony Hall said at the time that Blackburn had failed to fully co-operate with the inquiry. Blackburn said at the time the inquiry had claimed he was interviewed about a girl's diary by a senior BBC executive and a senior lawyer - but he insisted he was never interviewed by either. In a statement made in October, announcing his return, the BBC said both it and Blackburn stood by their statements but Blackburn had "recognised that the BBC considered a period off-air was appropriate". In the same statement, Blackburn said: "I do not seek to criticise the BBC for decisions it has made in the past. "I have had a difficult year personally, but I'm pleased to be returning to the BBC and can't wait to get behind the mic again." The son of a doctor from Guildford, Tony Blackburn was the first DJ to broadcast on Radio 1 when it launched in September 1967. He spent 17 years at the station and also presented Top of the Pops and was a weekly fixture on Noel's House Party. Prior to that, he broadcast on Radio Caroline South and then Radio London. After Radio 1, he was one of the launch presenters on Capital Gold. He has also hosted Radio 2's Pick Of The Pops as well as regular bank holiday specials for the stations. He has also had shows on BBC London 94.9, BBC Radio Berkshire, the Magic network, BBC3CR and KMFM. In 2002 he won the ITV reality TV programme I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! As his new slot began, he said: "It's New Year's Eve, it's BBC Radio 2 and what do you know? Good Lord, I'm back." He was welcomed back by many fans on social media - including Sir Roger Moore, who tweeted: "He's back!" During the show, Blackburn played tracks from Michael Jackson, The Temptations and Dionne Warwick among others. He will be presenting an hour-long BBC Radio 2 show called The Golden Hour, at 7pm on Fridays, starting on January 6. It is the long-term replacement for the Desmond Carrington's weekly show The Music Goes Round following Carrington's retirement in October after 70 years of broadcasting. Blackburn told listeners he was "looking forward very much indeed" to starting the new programme, which he said would be full of "fantastic" music. He has been replaced on Pick Of The Pops by Paul Gambaccini. 17 June 2016 Last updated at 19:59 BST With only two schools for the blind in the entire country, she decided to start teaching braille herself. She tells the BBC why she is giving free classes to blind people in her neighbourhood. Airline passengers will soon be able to connect to the internet either through this spacecraft or a complementary system of cell towers on the ground. The company behind the so-called European Aviation Network is Inmarsat, the UK's biggest satellite operator. It is building the system in tandem with Deutsche Telekom of Germany. The pair hope to start services at the back end of the year, with IAG Group (Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia and Vueling) being the first to install their planes with the necessary equipment. Lufthansa will be doing some testing also. Antennas will be fixed on the top of aircraft to connect upwards to space, and other terminals will be put in the belly of planes to link down to what initially will be 300 4G-LTE towers concentrated along Europe's main short-haul routes. The hybrid system would be a first for the continent. Passengers in cabins wanting to surf the web or watch a video would simply join a hotspot as they would if they were in a cafe or a hotel. The European Aviation Network (EAN) has been a while coming. The European Commission first awarded two licences for satellite communications operating in the S-band part of the radio spectrum back in 2009; and expected services to be up and running by December of last year. But both Inmarsat and the other licence holder made slow progress in developing a business case that would make best use of the frequency allocation. In the beginning, many commentators thought that case might involve mobile phones which could connect either to a satellite or a local cell network. However, this was before in-flight connectivity (IFC) became a boom market. Wi-fi on planes has traditionally had a wretched reputation, but the technologies are changing and the user experience is fast improving. "We conjured lots of business cases and then during that journey along came IFC and it's a perfect fit," said Rupert Pearce, the CEO of Inmarsat. "The short-haul market is growing twice as fast as in North America in terms of planes and passenger journeys, and it's set to become the largest short-haul aviation market in the world. Only briefly because I think China will over take it. China are going to build 50 airports in the next five years, so it's very hard to compete with them; but absent that, the European opportunity is very exciting." Already, the aero market is one of Inmarsat's fastest growing sectors, and it has big Ka-band satellites, dubbed Global Xpress, feeding connections to long-haul flights. The EAN is targeted specifically at the single-aisled planes making quick hops around Europe. Deutsche Telekom has still to switch on the ground segment and debug it, says Mr Pearce; and the new satellite, launched on an Ariane rocket from Kourou on Wednesday, will take three to four months to commission. IAG and Lufthansa, who the CEO describes as strategic partners, can then start a period of testing, he adds. But there is some serious push back from the competition. Other satellite operators are critical of the Inmarsat offering, believing it to be an infringement of the original terms of the S-band licence awarded by the EC. ViaSat, a big US concern best known for providing connections on aircraft in North America, is lodging a complaint with the European Court of Justice. It is being supported in this action by its European partner, Eutelsat, and Panasonic Avionics, which sells IFC services. The trio contend that the S-band licence was supposed to be predominantly a satellite service with a back-up ground segment. Inmarsat, they say, has produced the opposite. "There is a strong deviation from the original purpose," argued Wladimir Bocquet, Eutelsat's director of spectrum management and policy. "Just one example - from calculations we see that the total capacity of the satellite component is, for Europe, 100 Megabits per second (Mbps). Compare that to the publicly stated capacity of the terrestrial component: it is around 50 Gigabits per second (Gbps). That's a factor of 500 difference. How can that be considered complementary. It's a terrestrial network. That's important when the selection process was done on the basis of the satellite element," he told BBC News. In 2020/21, Viasat and Eutelsat intend to put above Europe the most powerful satellite ever built, which will have a total throughput of 1 Terabit per second. This, they say, will offer far superior connections to planes than the EAN, but fear airlines may be about to lock themselves into an inferior service that was developed under a false prospectus. "You either respect the rules and develop the business under the framework that has been agreed, or you say the framework is not appropriate and in that case you develop a new framework and you open to competitors the opportunity to enter into this new business with a new framework," said Mr Bocquet. But the complaints have prompted a stinging response from Inmarsat and Mr Pearce. Asked to comment, he responded: "It's all tosh, to use the technical term." And he essentially accused Eutelsat in particular of sour grapes. "They actually held the opposite licence. They won it with [the SES satellite operator] at the same time as we did. They could do nothing with it and eventually abandoned it by selling it to [the Echostar satellite operator] for not much money. "Now they have the temerity to come back and say it was all evil. To say that the EC didn't know what it was doing is disingenuous at best. "They're just trying to slow us down. They know we've backed a cool piece of technology that's going to drive jobs and growth as well as fantastic services on planes." In order to run the EAN, Inmarsat does however need the individual permissions of each member state of the European Union - to have both a national licence for the space segment and the terrestrial element. Inmarsat claims to have all EU member state space permissions (including from Norway and Switzerland), and is awaiting just three licences for the operation of the ground tower network - from Germany, France and the UK. The London-based company told the BBC that the German and French authorities looked set for approval in the next few weeks. Ironically, Inmarsat expects the UK telecoms regulator, Ofcom, to be the last to fall in place. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos Arlene Foster was criticised last month when she said that Martin McGuinness becoming first minister would take the region in the "wrong direction." On Monday, she said parties claiming otherwise "could not be more wrong". Nigel Dodds, the party's deputy leader, said the first minister post was "the public face of Northern Ireland". They were speaking at the release of the DUP's election manifesto on the Shankill Road in west Belfast. Mrs Foster said "every election represents a choice" and this one "is no different". But she added: "There are those who seek to pretend otherwise. "After the election, the party with the most votes and the most seats will have the greatest influence in shaping the next programme for government. "The more seats we have the more departments we will hold in order to deliver on our commitments." Mr Dodds said he made "no apology for saying I want Arlene as first minister". "[The first minister] tells the world who we are and what values we hold true," the North Belfast MP said. "In that contest [for the post], the pundits and commentators agree it is a two-horse race between Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness. "Some people, for narrow political advantage, will claim it doesn't mater who wins the election and it does not matter who the first minister is. "What world are they living in?" The DUP will be fighting the election on 5 May on the basis of a five-point plan that it says will: The DUP says it is committed to establishing a perinatal hospice care service or facility in Northern Ireland for women pregnant with a child that has a life-limiting condition. And the party says it wants to give £1,000 to everyone who is 100 years old or more when Northern Ireland reaches its centenary in 2021. In previous years, the DUP has left its manifesto release to closer to polling day. But Mrs Foster said the party now wanted to give voters more time to read its blueprint for the next five years. "I want this plan to be the backbone of our campaign and our pledge to the country for the next assembly term, a plan I want to implement as first minister on the morning of 6 May," she added. The party chose to hold its manifesto event in west Belfast as it is targeting a seat in the constituency. Frank McCoubrey, the DUP's candidate in West Belfast, is attempting to win the first assembly seat for unionists in the constituency since 2003. It was a more modest affair than the national festivities for her 90th birthday last year. But military salutes were held across the UK to mark the occasion - including a 21-gun salute of tiny cannons fired by children at Windsor Castle. Birthday wishes for the Queen have come from around the world. The Queen, who reached her 65-year Sapphire Jubilee in February, is Britain's longest-reigning monarch. Her thoroughbred Maths Prize was running at Newbury, and the Queen was seen sharing a joke in the royal box before her horse lined up with six other runners. But the monarch, joined by her daughter the Princess Royal, was denied a birthday gift from Maths Prize, as it finished fifth. Last year, more than 900 beacons were lit up across the UK and overseas as part of her 90th birthday celebrations. Crowds lined the streets in Windsor, church services were held in her honour, and the Queen took part in a walkabout at Windsor. While her 91st was a more private affair, there was a 41-gun salute in Hyde Park and 21-gun salute in Windsor Great Park at midday, ahead of a 62-gun salute at the Tower of London at 13:00 BST. The event at Windsor - where the Queen is believed to be currently staying - was different to most military salutes however, with children chosen to fire the 1ft (0.3m) cannons. While it is not known what the Queen has received for her 91st birthday, she is known to favour practical gifts over more extravagant presents. Her children have given her items including a casserole dish and apron over the years, while the Duchess of Cambridge made her some chutney for Christmas - following her own grandmother's recipe. Speaking on BBC Radio 1 on Friday, the Duke of Cambridge admitted it was "quite hard to know what to get" his grandmother "that she hasn't already got". He said now "the great-grandchildren can make stuff", which "goes down really well", adding that three-year-old George is "very good at arts and craft". Many of her favourite presents over the years have reflected her love of animals. When she was four, the Queen's grandfather King George V gave her her first horse, a Shetland pony called Peggy. And when she was 18, she was given a corgi called Susan, sparking a lifelong affection for the dog breed. She has now owned more than 30 corgis. There was also a 21-gun royal salute fired from Edinburgh Castle. Bells pealed at Westminster Abbey to mark the occasion and Irish Guards performed a rendition of Happy Birthday to You outside Buckingham Palace. Many of the thousands of tourists at the landmark also joined in with the song. Buckingham Palace tweeted a picture of the monarch as a baby on her christening day, where she is held by her mother Elizabeth, Duchess of York. They also released a picture of the Queen when she was 21 as she received the Freedom of the City of London - the first significant London ceremony she attended unaccompanied. Clarence House, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall's official residence, shared a picture of the Queen and a young Prince Charles from 1952. Well-wishers used the hashtag #HappyBirthdayHerMajesty to tweet their own birthday messages. The Royal Albert Hall said: "Happy birthday to our patron, Queen Elizabeth!" and a Scout group in Bristol tweeted: "#HappyBirthdayHerMajesty... And wish you a prosperous day!" Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted a birthday message, wishing the Queen "a happy 91st birthday and continued health and happiness in the years to come", while Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson tweeted: "Hip hip hooray for The Queen and MANY CONGRATS to Her Majesty". Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born at 2.40am on 21 April 1926, the first child of the then Duke and Duchess of York, at 17 Bruton Street, the Mayfair home of her grandparents, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore. She also celebrates an "official birthday" which falls on the second Saturday in June. Two days ahead of her official birthday this year, the snap election announced for Thursday 8 June will be the 17th general election of the Queen's reign. It will be marked with the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London- with this year's taking place the week later, on 17 June. The tradition of the monarch having two birthdays dates back to Edward VII, who was born in November but celebrated his birthday in May and June as the weather was better during those months. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez hit back after Mr Macri made his remarks at a meeting of regional leaders in Paraguay. The two countries had previously been allies for more than a decade. The UN, the European Union and the US have also put pressure on Venezuela to release jailed opposition leaders. Speaking at the summit of the regional Mercosur bloc, Mr Macri called on all South American leaders to push for the release of Venezuelan political leaders. "There can be no place for ideological persecution in Mercosur member states," Mr Macri said. The Venezuelan government has denied holding political prisoners, but the jailing of several high-profile opposition leaders like former mayors Leopoldo Lopez and Antonio Ledezma has drawn condemnation from human rights groups, the UN, the EU and the United States. Leopoldo Lopez was sentenced to nearly 14 years in jail in September on charges of inciting violence during anti-government protests last year in which 43 people died. In response to Argentina, the Venezuelan Foreign minister, Delcy Rodriguez, accused Argentina of not bringing to justice some of those who had committed human rights abuses during the military government of the 70s and 80s in Argentina. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro did not attend the Mercosur summit. Before taking office on 10 December, Mr Macri had called for Venezuela to be kicked out of Mercosur for violating its "democracy clause". But he changed his stance after Venezuela's opposition won a landslide victory in legislative elections on 6 December. Restauranteurs have been constantly coming up with new ways to attract customers in Taiwan's highly competitive dining-out market. Now, even hotels are getting in on the action. For some of these places, it's proving to be not only great fun, but great business. Steven Wu's Red Dot Hotel in Taichung city has a slide - a $150,000 (£97,000) stainless steel one that's 27m long and twirls from the second floor to the lobby. An interior designer who graduated from the East London School of Architecture, Mr Wu wanted his guests to have fun. "I was thinking of how to combine art and architecture. But I didn't think I could afford to buy an art piece, so I designed one," said Mr Wu. He said he got the idea after coming across pictures of children's slides while doing research. The hotel has been making money since it opened last July, mainly because of the slide. He said up to 40% of the guests are families. To avoid disturbing guests on the second floor, the slide is only open from 11am to noon and from 3pm to 6pm. And yes, you can use it instead of the lifts to reach the checkout desk. Someone who would spend $1m to open a restaurant devoted to Asia's most famous cat - Hello Kitty - surely must be a fan of the mouthless feline. But Henry Chiu, owner of the Hello Kitty Kitchen and Dining restaurant in Taipei, wasn't at first. "It was because my wife likes Hello Kitty and as an interior designer, I wanted to create an atmosphere to reflect the feeling Hello Kitty gives people," said Mr Chiu. His restaurant is covered with Hello Kitty images, from the giant bow-shaped booths to Kitty-shaped ceiling lights, as well as cakes, hamburgers and tarts. The restaurant is popular with both little girls and grown women - and Mr Chiu has since become a fan. At Carton King, customers sit on cardboard chairs, eat food served on cardboard plates and drink from cardboard cups. There's even a paper hotpot that can be put over a stove. The corrugated cardboard is amazingly strong - each chair can sit two adults weighing up to 150kg- and a lot of the material in the restaurant is anti-flammable or coated with flame-resistant paint. Owner Huang Fang-liang used to design and manufacture paper for wrapping and packaging. He set up an area in his factory to show people the creative things that he could make. "People came to see it and wanted to eat, so we opened a restaurant," said Mr Huang. In just eight years, he's opened 12 Carton King restaurants, including several in mainland China, and they're making money. The operating costs are lower because the cardboard furnishings can be cheaply replaced and recycled. Even the cardboard plates and bowls can be washed and reused. At Modern Toilet in Taipei's Ximending district, customers sit on toilets and eat over bathtubs or sinks converted into tables. They eat out of small sitting or squat toilet bowls, and drink from urinal-shaped containers. Ice cream is made to look like poo, and shaved ice looks like someone had diarrhoea. "The thing I get the most is it's just a restaurant for taking pictures, which is why I'm working a lot on food. I want the food to match the theme and taste good at the same time," said manager Joe Liu. Most customers are tourists, especially from Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia. To appeal to their taste buds, Mr Liu is developing food that suits both them and the toilet theme, like Singaporean laksa - a spicy coconut soup noodle dish. One can only imagine what that will look like. Dharmana's Family and General Practice in Walton, Liverpool, became one of the first GP practices in England to be placed in special measures in January. When inspectors returned in July they found "continued concerns" including the lack of oxygen supplies there. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has now cancelled the surgery's registration. Other concerns at the practice identified by the CQC included: The practice, in Queen's Drive, will close in December 2015 when its current contract with NHS England expires. In the meantime, the site will be given support to arrange the transfer of its 2,400 patients to alternative providers. Sue McMillan, the CQC's deputy chief inspector of general practice, said: "It is extremely disappointing that the practice has not made the required improvements and is still not providing care of an acceptable standard. The people who rely on this practice deserve better. "We had told Dr Dharmana in January that if improvements were not made after a period of six months, we would consider taking steps to cancel the practice's registration. "Following our latest inspection Dr Dharmana has decided to close the practice voluntarily." Thames Valley Police detained the 43-year-old after the comment appeared on Blinks of Bicester's page following the Paris terrorist attacks. It said the business would not be taking any more bookings from people of the "Islamic faith". This prompted hundreds of messages to be left by people criticising the post. Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire One person, Linda Stubbs, wrote: "You need a rebranding after your vile comments. I think 'Bigots of Bicester' would be very appropriate." Scott Woods posted: "Can put fake lashes on ignorance but you can't educate it. You've a LOT to learn... racist and ignorant." On Friday night 129 people were killed when eight Islamist militants attacked bars and restaurants, a concert hall and the Stade de France. There was no response when BBC News tried to contact Blinks of Bicester. The Facebook page for Blinks of Bicester where the post appeared has now been deleted. The woman was arrested on suspicion of displaying of written material which was threatening, abusive or insulting with the intention of stirring up racial hatred, and for producing malicious communications. Police said it followed reports from members of the public about "malicious comments" being made on Facebook. Sgt Steve Dixon said: "Thames Valley Police treats all allegations of racial aggravation very seriously and will always take steps to investigate them." The woman has been released on police bail. The large numbers have sparked such a profound crisis that the local mayor threatened this week to stop voters taking part in Sunday's general election unless he received more help from the government in Athens. At the peak in August and early September, up to 1,500 Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans were arriving every day, according to local officials. The total population of Leros is just 8,500. It was at that time that left-wing Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras resigned as prime minister and a caretaker administration took over. Squalid makeshift camps have been set up to accommodate the new arrivals on the island. Earlier this week several hotels were commandeered to look after survivors from a boat which sank nearby, killing at least 34 people. Smugglers deliberately holed boat, says Greek island survivor Greek conservative leader takes Greece back Tsipras rejects 'unnatural coalition' For the people of Leros and many of the other Dodecanese islands lying close to Turkey, the refugee and migrant crisis has not only become the top election issue - it is eclipsing everything. "Right now it's the only thing on our minds," says the deputy mayor of Leros, Yiannis Konstantinides. "We haven't even realised that this Sunday we have elections. We're all preoccupied with this problem and nothing else." The mayor's threat to boycott the election on Leros prompted officials in Athens to provide the island with some help. The caretaker government has now sent extra ships to the island to transport many of the refugees and migrants to the capital. "The present government, even though it's temporary, shows a much greater interest than the previous government and is much more attentive to us," says deputy mayor Yiannis Konstantinides. "We'd been trying to get the previous government to act for three months, but they would not listen." The business community on Leros has also been voicing concerns about the influx of migrants and the need for any new government emerging from Sunday's election to focus immediately on finding an overall solution. This region, like much of Greece, depends on tourism and there are fears that if the local authorities continue to be overwhelmed by the arrival of migrants, it will undermine the industry. "Already now, big tour operators are pushing us to keep our prices very low," says Eva Gkeka, who owns hotels on Leros and the island of Lipsi. "We are at the beginning of the (migrant) crisis and we don't know what will happen next year in the Mediterranean." "We have to do something, reservations are going to go down." It is estimated that at least 250,000 refugees and migrants have arrived in Greece so far this year, six times more than during the whole of 2014. This has become a key issue in election campaigning across the country, with conservative opposition party New Democracy accusing the former Syriza-led government of having an open-door policy. The refugee crisis has also injected new life into the far-right Golden Dawn party, whose leaders are on trial on a range of serious charges. Opinion polls indicate Golden Dawn could win between 6% and 7% of the vote despite despite its leaders spending months in pre-trial detention. Campaigning both on an anti-immigrant ticket and on its opposition to Alexis Tsipras's bailout deal with the European Union could see the far-right party make big political gains. Jones also invited the highly successful Australia netball coach Lisa Alexander to Pennyhill Park. "We've had a brilliant learning day today with Gareth and Lisa," said Jones. Meanwhile, flanker Tom Wood is in the 24-man squad to face Wales on Saturday, despite suffering a shoulder injury. Head coach Jones, who has previously spent time observing the national football team, said: "As we've always stated our aim is to get better everyday and we want to get people into camp who have knowledge and great experience to learn from them." Southgate and Alexander exchanged ideas with the England management and support staff, who are preparing for Saturday's Six Nations clash with Wales in Cardiff. "The staff shared a very interactive hour with them at a lunchtime meeting where we learned a lot, reinforced some principles and also discovered some new things that we need to do to keep moving forward," Jones added. Wood left Twickenham in a sling after Saturday's narrow victory over France and missed Tuesday's training contact training session with a shoulder injury. Harlequins' Jack Clifford is in line to replace Wood if the Northampton man is unable to start the match. James Haskell is likely to again be deployed from the bench, while number eight Nathan Hughes also missed training, with his workload being managed. Whichever back row England field at Cardiff's Principality Stadium will be inexperienced compared to their Wales counterparts, with flankers Sam Warburton and Justin Tipuric instrumental in the victory over Italy. Elsewhere, Exeter wing Jack Nowell is pushing for a place in the starting XV, while Henry Slade may be included among the replacements after being retained in the squad. The following have been retained in camp: Forwards: Jack Clifford (Harlequins), Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers), Jamie George (Saracens), Dylan Hartley (Northampton Saints), James Haskell (Wasps), Nathan Hughes (Wasps), Maro Itoje (Saracens), Joe Launchbury (Wasps), Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints), Joe Marler (Harlequins), Matt Mullan (Wasps), Kyle Sinckler (Harlequins), Tom Wood (Northampton Saints) Backs: Mike Brown (Harlequins), Danny Care (Harlequins), Elliot Daly (Wasps), Owen Farrell (Saracens), George Ford (Bath Rugby), Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby), Jonny May (Gloucester Rugby), Jack Nowell (Exeter Chiefs), Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs), Ben Te'o (Worcester Warriors), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers) Yet, it is here, in Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant, that a sculpture of the singer, who died in 2015, is being made for display at Liverpool's Cavern Club. Black's family approached Castle Fine Arts Foundry after being impressed with statues it produced of The Beatles. It has also created artworks of The Queen and boxer Muhammad Ali. The trigger for its latest work was the outpouring of grief following the singer's death, with flowers left at the Cavern's original entrance on Mathew Street after she died, aged 72, last August. "She worked here in the early 60s and got up with all the bands here," said the club's director Jon Keates. "People felt the Cavern was the closest they could get to commemorate Cilla." He described the location as "where it all began for her", performing with artists like the Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers and The Merseybeats. Following this "outpouring of appreciation", sculptor Andrew Edwards said Black's sons wanted to say thank you to everyone who left tributes. "(It is) where the old entrance used to be and where Cilla used to work in the cloakroom before she went on to sing there," Mr Edwards said. "It is fitting (as a location for a statue) as it goes back to Cilla's roots on Mathew Street, the Cavern and celebrates that young girl who is the female version of The Beatles." Castle Fine Arts Foundry and Mr Edwards were selected to create the artwork after they created one of Liverpool's "must see landmarks" of the Fab Four. In November 2015, gbronze statues of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were unveiled at Pier Head, in the city, after being commissioned by The Cavern Club. The band's "female version" is set to join them on the city's streets when the artwork of Black is completed in early 2017. Pew Research Center found that 71% of Americans identified as Christian in 2014 - down from 78% in 2007. In the same period, Americans identifying as having no religion grew from 16% to 23%. Fifty-six million Americans do not observe any religion, the second largest community after Evangelicals. The United States still remains home to more Christians than any other nation, with roughly seven-in-ten continuing to identify with some branch of Christianity. In 2007 and then again in 2014, Pew conducted the "Religious Landscape Study", interviewing 35,000 people each time. Pew researchers say the losses they discovered were driven mainly by a decrease among liberal Protestants and Catholics and occurred in all regions of the US and among all ages and demographics. About 5 million less Americans now identify as Christian compared to when the study was conducted in 2007. In the South, those not-affiliated with religion - or as the researchers call them, "nones" - rose to 19% of the population, while in the Northeast they climbed to 25%. In the West "nones" are a larger group than any religion, making up 28% of the public. Greg Smith, Pew's associate research director, said the findings "point to substantive changes" among the religiously unaffiliated, not just a shift in how people describe themselves. Non-religious Americans have become increasingly organised since 2007, forming political groups designed to keep religion out of public life. Kelly Damerow with the Secular Coalition for America tells BBC News that the Pew findings "lend credence to the growth we've witnessed within our community and that we have the potential to hold a lot of political clout". Americans who identify as Christian: 70.6% Protestant faiths: 46.5% Evangelical: 25.4% Catholic: 20.8% Mainline or liberal: 14.7% Mormon: 1.6% Jehovah's Witness: 0.8% Identify as Other Christians: 0.4% Source: Pew Research Center Griffiths delayed taking a second-half corner to pick up the bottle and was booked by referee Alejandro Hernandez. Manager Brendan Rodgers said the officials "could not explain" the yellow card. Celtic did not take up their ticket allocation because of security fears. But there were about 300 travelling fans inside the half-full ground to see first-half goals by Scott Sinclair and Tom Rogic secure a first-leg victory for the Scottish champions. "It happens [missiles being thrown] in other grounds, it's not just here," Rodgers said. "It's not ideal in any situation. You don't want that to happen in any ground. "It was strange him getting booked for it." Objects had been thrown at Griffiths earlier in the game while taking a corner and substitute Jonny Hayes was also targeted. Linfield chairman Roy McGivern walked down to that area of the stadium, but his intervention failed to prevent further incidents. After the final whistle, some Linfield fans attempted to invade the pitch when Griffiths tied a scarf to the goal posts. "The club will be reviewing our own footage and investigating," read a Linfield statement. "We are obviously very disappointed that a small number of people chose not to respect the club's wishes. There will be serious and lasting consequences for anyone involved." Asked whether he was concerned during the game, Rodgers said: "I didn't see or haven't heard as of yet what was thrown on. I could only see it from the dug-out. "It was maybe a bottle of some sort, but anything, whether it's a coin or a bottle or whatever, shouldn't happen. "Players go on to the field and it should be a safe environment for them. You want the passion from the stands to stay in there. But if you take that away from it, it was a good evening." Celtic were comfortable victors as they looked to set up a third qualifying round meeting with either Norwegian champions Rosenborg or Irish title winners Dundalk. Last season's Scottish PFA player of the year Sinclair headed them in front after 17 minutes before Australian Rogic guided in a second five minutes later. They might have added to that tally, had it not been for 39-year-old former Manchester United and West Ham United goalkeeper Roy Carroll. "I thought Roy was brilliant, he made some incredible saves," said Rodgers. "It could have been a really difficult game for us but in the main we dealt well with it. They can be tricky ties. But the players came through it." Media playback is not supported on this device Nokia will also license its patents and mapping services to Microsoft. Nokia shares jumped 35% on the news, whereas Microsoft's fell more than 5%. The purchase is set to be completed in early 2014, when about 32,000 Nokia employees will transfer to Microsoft. Nokia has fallen behind rivals Samsung and Apple, while critics say Microsoft has been slow into the mobile market. Describing the deal as a "big, bold step forward", Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer told the BBC that his company was in the process of transforming itself from one that "was known for software and PCs, to a company that focuses on devices and services". By Rory Cellan-JonesTechnology correspondent So who wins and who loses from this deal? Nokia shareholders may be breathing a sigh of relief. Yes, they are only getting $7bn for a business that had a market capitalisation of $150bn in 2007. But the 40% rise in the share price this morning shows they feel this is a far better outcome than they might have expected after years of decline. As for Microsoft, it will be a while before we know whether Steve Ballmer's last big gamble as CEO has paid off. He sees this deal as the final piece in the jigsaw, in his strategy to turn the software company into a devices and services business. At the Helsinki press conference he talked of beating Blackberry for third place in the mobile phone market - and Microsoft's investors may find that number three is not a very profitable place to be. For Finland and for Europe as a whole, this must be seen as a sad day. It is hard to remember just how recently Nokia was Europe's technology superstar, with a 40% share of one of the world's fastest growing industries and a proud record of innovation. "We've done a lot of great work in the two-and-a-half years that we've been in partnership with Nokia, going literally from no phones to 7.4 million smart Windows phones in the last quarter that was reported," he said. But he admitted: "We have more work to do to expand the range of applications on our product." Microsoft, one of the biggest names in the technology sector, has struggled as consumers have shunned traditional PCs and laptops in favour of smartphones and tablet PCs. Critics say the firm has been too slow to respond to the booming market for mobile devices. It launched its Surface tablet PCs last year, but sales of the devices have been relatively slow. Analysts said that the company wanted to make sure that it got its strategy right in the mobile phone market. "Mobile is an area of tremendous potential but it has been one of weakness for Microsoft," Manoj Menon, managing director of consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, told the BBC. "Clearly the number one priority for the company is to get its mobile strategy right. From a strategy point of view, this deal is the perfect step, The only question is how well they can execute this plan." Ben Wood, an analyst at telecoms consultancy CCS Insight, said: "It's a necessary gamble by Microsoft to break into mobile, but given its complete reliance on Nokia for Windows Phone devices and the competitive position of Apple and Google with rival phone platforms an understandable move. "It completely reshapes Microsoft's business pushing it firmly into hardware. But it also raises big questions about the sustainability of other firms, including HTC and Blackberry, remaining pure-play phone makers," he added. Nokia was once a leader in mobile phones, but the firm's sales fell 24% in the three months to the end of June from a year earlier. 1871: Founded.

Source: Reuters/Nokia It sold 53.7 million mobile phones during the quarter, down 27% on last year. However, sales of its new Lumia phones, which run a Microsoft operating system, rose during the period. Mr Menon said that the deal between the two companies would help to bring the "hardware closer to the operating system and achieve a tighter integration". "This should help Microsoft make a more effective strategy to compete in the mobile sphere," he said. Microsoft has also agreed a 10-year licensing arrangement with Nokia to use the Nokia brand on current mobile phone products. Nokia also announced changes to its leadership team as a result of the sale. Stephen Elop will step down as president and chief executive of Nokia Corporation and resign from the company's board. The firm said that he would become the executive vice president of the Devices & Services unit, adding that it expected him to "transfer to Microsoft at the anticipated closing" of the deal. The transfer of Mr Elop to Microsoft comes at a time when the company is looking for a new chief executive. The current head of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, announced last week that he would be retiring and is expected to leave the company within the next 12 months. Summing up his tenure at the helm of one of the world's largest technology companies, he told the BBC: "I'm pleased with what we've achieved; I'm pleased with the level of innovation we've brought to intelligent devices around the globe. "But there's always another challenge and with this acquisition we'll take things up to the next level." Mr Elop who left Microsoft to join Nokia in 2010, has been cited by some as one of the frontrunners to replace Mr Ballmer. The transaction is still subject to approval by Nokia shareholders and regulators. Nokia says that once the sale is completed, it will concentrate on three key businesses - network equipment manufacturing, mapping and location services, and the development and licensing of technology. Earlier this year, it agreed to buy Siemens' 50% stake in their joint venture, Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), which makes telecoms network equipment, for 1.7bn euros. Conservative Sir Malcolm Rifkind and Labour's Jack Straw both say they have broken no rules. Reporters for the Daily Telegraph and Channel 4's Dispatches posed as staff of a fake Chinese firm. The MPs have referred themselves to Parliament's standards watchdog. Labour leader Ed Miliband has written to the prime minister calling for a ban on MPs having second jobs. It is claimed that Mr Straw was recorded describing how he operated "under the radar" and had used his influence to change EU rules on behalf of a firm which paid him £60,000 a year. On the subject of payment, Mr Straw is heard saying: "So normally, if I'm doing a speech or something, it's £5,000 a day, that's what I charge." Sir Malcolm is reported to have claimed he could arrange "useful access" to every British ambassador in the world. The MP for Kensington and chairman of Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee was recorded saying: "I am self-employed - so nobody pays me a salary. I have to earn my income." He said his usual fee for half a day's work was "somewhere in the region of £5,000 to £8,000". MPs' second jobs: What are the rules? Both men defended themselves on appearances on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Monday morning. Sir Malcolm said he had "nothing to be embarrassed about". He said the allegations were "unfounded" and he vowed to fight them "with all my strength". He said he had never accepted an offer from the fake firm, saying it was a "preliminary" discussion "about what they had mind". Sir Malcolm is paid £67,000 a year and he said telling the company he was not paid a salary was a "silly thing to say". "Of course I receive a salary as a Member of Parliament but I was referring to my business interests, from none of which I receive a salary. I receive payment for services I provide," he said. He told the Daily Politics an MP's salary "sounds a lot of money to anyone earning less than that". But he added: "The reality is that to anyone from a professional or business background earns considerably more than that." Limiting MPs to their parliamentary salary would be "excluding very large numbers of very able people" who could not "accept such a substantial reduction in their standard of living," he added. £65,738 MP's salary £78,298 Headteacher £72,649 Police superintendent £88,000 Senior civil servant £63,032 NHS director About 200 MPs have business interests, he said, and everything he earns is detailed in the Register of Members' Interests. Sir Malcolm said he would not stand down as security committee chairman, unless his committee colleagues wanted him to. "One's got nothing to do with the other," he said. "None of the matters are remotely to do with intelligence or security." He said he had a letter from Channel 4, accepting he had not offered access to any privileged or secret information. Mr Straw has suspended himself from the Parliamentary Labour Party, and the party said it was aware of the "disturbing allegations" against him. The Blackburn MP, who had already announced his intention to stand down in May, said he was "mortified" that he had fallen into the reporters' "trap" but that he had said nothing "improper". He told Today the language he used had been "not necessarily wrong but could be taken out of context". During his 36 years as an MP he had been "absolutely scrupulous" about observing the rules, he said, adding that the entire discussion had been around what he would do after leaving Parliament. He acknowledged he should have postponed the conversation until after 7 May. Earlier, Mr Straw said he had taken on one consultancy role since his ministerial career ended in 2010, with commodity suppliers, ED&F Man (Holdings) Ltd, saying it was done in accordance with the MPs' Code of Conduct. Sir Malcolm and Mr Straw both said they had requested copies of the recording transcripts, but that Channel 4 and the Telegraph had not provided them. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair offered Mr Straw his support, saying he was a "byword for being a hard-working constituency MP and parliamentarian". Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said her party would "end second jobs for MPs". Mr Miliband said the allegations against Mr Straw were "disturbing" and called for the issue of second jobs to be settled "once and for all". Prime Minister David Cameron said he did not favour a complete ban on MPs having other employment, saying Parliament was "enriched" in some cases by members' outside experience. Describing the reports as "very serious matters", he promised an "immediate disciplinary inquiry" into Sir Malcolm's case. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, which manages MPs' pay, has recommended a 9% salary rise, but party leaders have said that would be unacceptable. Phillip Blond, director of the centre-right thinktank ResPublica, said MPs should be banned from having outside jobs - but should also have their pay increased. "We need to recognise that MPs are at the top of the public service tree, and pay them at the same level as top GPs, top civil servants, top head teachers," he said. The undercover reporters had created a fictitious communications agency called PMR, which they said was based in Hong Kong. A statement on Channel 4's website said 12 MPs with "significant outside interests" were invited to apply for jobs with PMR, which had "plenty of money" and wanted to hire "influential British politicians to join its advisory board". "Not all politicians are for hire," the statement added. "Half of those approached didn't respond. One said he wanted to check us out in Hong Kong so we took it no further. And another said he just wasn't that interested. Of the others, two stood out - Sir Malcolm Rifkind and Jack Straw." The documentary, called Politicians for Hire, will be broadcast on Channel 4 at 20:00 GMT. Kathleen Kane, was found guilty of all nine counts including conspiracy, official oppression and perjury. Perjury, which is a serious charge, can alone carry a penalty of seven years in prison. Her licence to practise law has been suspended and has she resigned as attorney general. Kane, 50, is due to be sentenced within 90 days, and has vowed to appeal. "I have been honoured to serve the people of Pennsylvania and I wish them health and safety in all their days," Kane said in a statement. She was found guilty of leaking sealed court documents intended to embarrass a rival prosecutor, Frank Fina, who Kane believed had planted a news story claiming that she had ended a statehouse sting operation. An aide for Kane testified during the trial that she became "hell-bent on getting back at Frank Fina", and described her behaviour as "unhinged". She instructed her aides to leak the information the news media, and later lied under oath when questioned by state officials. During the trial, Kane declined to testify, and her defence team did not call a single witness to the stand. She claims to be the victim of an "old-boys" network that are taking revenge on her for revealing lewd messages sent by government employees using state email servers. Those embarrassing emails led to the resignation of two state Supreme Court justices, and other top government employees. "What she did while she was the attorney general, the fact she would commit criminal acts while the top prosecutor, is a disgrace,'' assistant district attorney Michelle Henry said after the verdict. The judge has released Kane on bail after requiring her to forfeit her passport to prevent her from leaving the country. Before being released the judge also warned Kane that there would be additional consequences if there were any signs that she was retaliating against witnesses. Several of her top aides testified against her during the trial in exchange for immunity. Kane, once a rising star of the Democratic Party, assumed office in 2013 becoming the first woman, and the first Democrat, to hold the position of attorney general. She had not held an elected position before then. She now faces a maximum sentence of 28 years in prison, however a lesser sentence is expected. All workers are entitled to annual leave and the National Minimum Wage. Employees get additional rights, such as the right not to be unfairly dismissed, maternity rights and redundancy rights. Which category you fall into depends on the type of contract you have and the obligations between the employer and the employee to provide work and accept work. The defining feature of a zero-hours contract is that the employer doesn't guarantee work and the worker doesn't guarantee acceptance of work. So in most cases those on zero-hours contracts count as workers. As the House of Commons Library notes "the distinction between these concepts is complex and the subject of much debate". It's not just about the wording of your contract, what happens in practice counts too. If there is a regular pattern of work, which is regularly accepted, then an Employment Tribunal can - and indeed they have - deem the contract to be one of employment.

Mohammed Zubair, 36, has been held in custody in Pakistan since 2013. It was the first time in more than 10 years a suspect had been extradited to the UK from the country, police said. Mr Zubair appeared at Bradford Magistrates' Court earlier where he was remanded in custody to appear before the city's crown court on Friday. Live updates on this story and others from around West Yorkshire A man was convicted of manslaughter in 2012 over the deaths and jailed for 10 years. Sabir Hussain, of Wensleydale Road, Bradford, went on trial accused of murder but was cleared of those charges. Det Supt Simon Atkinson said: "After five years, West Yorkshire Police has managed to arrange the extradition of Mohammed Zubair, who has been held in custody in Pakistan since November 2013. "I would like to praise the Pakistani authorities for their assistance and endeavours in not only securing his arrest, but also ensuring his extradition back to the UK." The chief executive of Titanic Quarter Limited, David Gavaghan, is to leave his post, along with two other senior figures. But the company - owned by Dublin-based Harcourt Developments - says it remains committed to Northern Ireland. Its owner Pat Doherty said the "cost base was not proportionate to the business". The company was behind the construction of the £97m Titanic Belfast visitor attraction, as well as other waterfront projects. In a statement, Titanic Quarter said 13 staff would remain "to progress major developments, including projects in the film production, hotel and office sectors". It added: "We are dedicated to ensuring that Titanic Quarter Limited remains a key driver for Northern Ireland's economy." Mr Doherty said: "David Gavaghan and two other senior personnel have made a valuable contribution to growth at Titanic Quarter and we wish them well for the future. "In particular I would like to thank David for his leadership and wish him every success." About 200 soldiers signed two books at a tea stall at Peterborough East Railway Station in 1916 and 1917. Peterborough's cultural trust Vivacity plans to transcribe the entries and research each man's story. The project is funded by a £99,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Richard Hunt, Vivacity's archives manager, said the "slim volumes" offered "a unique snapshot" of the servicemen passing through Peterborough. He said: "The men waiting for their refreshments wrote little messages, poems, cartoons, even smutty comments about the ladies serving them their tea." He believes the books are "quite unique". While other railway stations also had volunteer-run tea stalls, the Imperial War Museum has told him there is no evidence they had visitors' books. The stall was run by the Peterborough Women's United Total Abstinence Council, a temperance organisation set up in the early 20th Century. Vivacity's heritage events and programmes manager Stuart Orme said the project also hoped to find out more about the women who ran the stall. The project is based on the two visitors' books held by the museum's archives, but because the stall was run throughout the war there may have been other books which are now lost. Vivacity is recruiting volunteers to help transcribe the entries, research the stories and create an interactive website. The biographical information and photographs they gather will be put on the website 100 years to the date that each man travelled through Peterborough. The website will be launched in October and the project will culminate in an exhibition at Peterborough Museum in January 2018. Mr Mozgovoi led the "Prizrak" (Ghost) battalion which was based in the Alchevsk area of Luhansk. Reports said a bomb struck his car, which was then targeted by gunfire that killed Mozgovoi and six others. Mr Mozgovoi was a critic of the Russian-backed separatist leadership and the Minsk accord signed with Kiev. He took control of Alchevsk as part of the uprising that began last April in eastern Ukraine's Luhansk and Donetsk regions following Russia's annexation of Crimea. There are no details on who may have carried out the attack, which was said to have taken place on the road from Luhansk to the city of Alchevsk. One report said the attack took place near the spot where Mr Mozgovoi had survived another assassination attempt in March. His press secretary and three security officers were reportedly among the dead. Last May he allowed the BBC's Panorama exclusive access to his militia's training camp. Mr Mozgovoi told our reporter the conflict was "in full swing... The east of Ukraine is moving steadily towards Russia, and that's a fact". Last November Mozgovoi was seen at the head of a summary court system. He is heard issuing a warning to residents: "Too many women go to restaurants. What kind of example do they show to their children? From now on, we will arrest all women we find in restaurants and cafes." The Minsk ceasefire agreement came into effect on 15 February, but there has been regular sporadic fighting and both the pro-Russian separatists and the Ukrainian government accuse the other of preparing a major offensive. The Ukrainian government and Western leaders say there is clear evidence Russia is helping the rebels with heavy weapons and soldiers - an accusation Moscow denies. But the rebels are also not a single coherent force in eastern Ukraine and there have been reports of power struggles. Singer Billy Bragg and Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien are among those accusing Google-owned business of trying to "strong-arm" independent labels into accepting low fees. YouTube has long been rumoured to be developing an advertisement-free music-subscription service. But it has yet to confirm details. "YouTube provides a global platform for artists to connect with fans and generate revenue for their music, paying out hundreds of millions of dollars to the music industry each year," said a spokesman for the company. "We have successful deals in place with hundreds of independent and major labels around the world - however, we don't comment on ongoing negotiations." Impala - a body representing Europe's indies - is spearheading the complaint. It says it plans to request "prompt intervention" from the European Commission into negotiations over a new YouTube "music streaming service". The organisation complains that indies are being presented with non-negotiable contracts accompanied by the threat that music videos they have posted to their YouTube channels will be blocked from site altogether if they do not agree to the terms. The labels can currently make money by placing adverts at the start of the clips or via pop-up boxes that appear while they are playing. "YouTube are shooting themselves in the foot with their attempt to strong-arm independent labels into signing up to such low rates," said Billy Bragg. "They're in danger of launching a streaming service that lacks the innovative and cutting-edge sounds that independent artists bring." Ed O'Brien - who co-chairs the Featured Artists Coalition, a musicians' rights campaign group - added: "To restrict [indie artists and labels] in this way is to risk creating an internet just for the superstars and big businesses." Independent labels being represented in the battle include XL Recordings, 4AD. Cooking Vinyl and Domino. That means failure to reach an agreement could potentially see music from Adele, Jack White, The xx, Royksopp, M.I.A., Hot Chip, The National and Arctic Monkeys excluded from the service. Android Police, a news site, first reported in November that code included in the YouTube app referred to a new service called Music Pass. It said the facility appeared to offer users access to offline playback of "uninterrupted music" with "no ads on millions of songs". Google already operates a separate audio-only music-subscription service - Google Play Music All Access - and there are several competitors on the market including Spotify, Deezer, Xbox Music and Apple's Beats Music. The indies have struck deals to include their tracks on all these services. But Complete Music Update - an industry news site that covers the sector - said the labels felt they had been backed into a corner by Google's latest demands. "YouTube already pays what are probably the lowest rates in the business for music labels' videos," said Chris Cooke, the site's business editor. "The majors and independents agreed to that because YouTube isn't just a revenue stream, it's one of the most important promotional platforms in music today. "But what the indies are getting really angry about is that YouTube seems to be threatening to withdraw this powerful promotional platform if they don't sign up to the new audio service - a service that will be going head-to-head with Spotify, Deezer et cetera while, as we understand it, paying considerably lower royalties."

The Manchester United striker, 18, has scored on his debuts in the Premier League, Europa League, England's senior side and now the U21s. But Rashford was not in Allardyce's first senior squad against Slovakia. "I wasn't surprised in any way," said Southgate of Rashford's three goals in the 6-1 win against Norway on Tuesday. "What we saw all week from him, we saw tonight. I couldn't have been happier with the way he approached everything. "I'll speak to Sam in the next couple of days, I'm sure it's given him food for thought." Rashford also scored on his full international debut against Australia in May, and netted the winner for United against Hull in his only Premier League appearance this season at the end of August. Chelsea trio Nathaniel Chalobah, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Lewis Baker also scored for England, in an impressive display at Colchester. The comfortable win means Gareth Southgate's men are now two points clear of Switzerland at the top of their group, with two games left to play and a game in hand on their nearest opponents. The Home Affairs Select Committee said sexual offence suspects deserved the right to anonymity, unless they were charged or police needed to name them. There should be "zero tolerance" of their identities being leaked, unattributed, to the media, it added. But Jill Saward, a victim of rape, called the suggestions "insulting". Ms Saward, who waived her own right to anonymity after being raped in order to campaign for other victims, told the BBC Radio 4's Today programme that making a special case for sex crime suspects "implies that victims are lying". The MPs report also said bail should initially be limited to 28 days. The committee's report on police bail said the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) should apologise to broadcaster Paul Gambaccini after he was kept on bail for 12 months over an allegation of historical sexual abuse before the case against him was dropped. Committee chairman Keith Vaz said reform of police bail was "long overdue" and it was "unacceptable" that people could be kept on bail for months and then be told no action would be taken against them without any explanation. In March Mr Gambaccini told the same committee that lost earnings and legal fees had cost him more than £200,000 as a result of him being kept on bail until the case was dropped against him in October. Mr Vaz said: "Police use of the 'flypaper' practice of arresting someone, leaking the details, then endlessly re-bailing them in the vague hope that other people come forward is unacceptable and must come to an immediate end. "We have seen how destructive this can be to a person's livelihood, causing irreparable reputational damage and enormous financial burden." The committee said the identification ban would stay in force unless and until a suspect was charged or if police believed there were "public safety" reasons for naming them. It said that if police wanted to release information about a rape suspect, for policing reasons, they should do so in a formal way. It was "in the interests of the police, post-Leveson, to demonstrate that they understand the level of public distrust that has built up over the informal relationship between the police and the media", the report said. Conservative MP Nigel Evans, who was cleared of nine sex offences last year, said: "I don't believe that people ought to be plastered all over every national newspaper just to fish other people out." But Ms Saward, who was raped by a gang in 1986, said: "What this committee are suggesting is really insulting to victims and a really disappointing move." She added: "We know that many people who are rapists are multiple rapists. They don't do this as a one-off and part of their modus operandi is to try to make sure there isn't enough evidence there. "When one victim comes forward often there isn't enough evidence there, you need the evidence of other people." There are strong arguments on both sides of the debate about whether rape suspects should be identified before they are charged. The proposal is likely to be opposed by victims' groups and by media organisations such as the Society of Editors, which says it would be a "serious mistake" to restrict information to which the public have a right to know. When a suspected sex offender is named after arrest, that can encourage victims to come forward, as in the case of Max Clifford. But it can also cause immense damage to the reputation of someone who may be innocent - and it's for that reason that the Home Affairs Committee believes suspects should be granted anonymity, just as victims of sexual offences are. Peter Watt of the NSPCC said naming suspects gave other victims the strength to speak out. "Rolf Harris, Max Clifford and others are possibly only behind bars for their vile crimes because of the ability of the police to name suspects," he added. In response to the committee's conclusions on anonymity, the CPS said they do not name suspects before charges are made. A spokesman said: "We have always said that the issue of anonymity is a matter for Parliament although, as the committee identifies, the police have given evidence that they may have good reasons for naming suspects pre-charge in exceptional cases." The report called for the police to "use bail less, to investigate more thoroughly before arrest, and to finish investigations more quickly." After the initial 28 days a decision could be taken by the police to re-bail, the committee said. Under the proposals the police could apply to the courts for exemptions if they could show the investigation would be complex. The MPs added that the CPS should apologise to Mr Gambaccini and explain why his case took so long when the original police investigation was dropped, for insufficient evidence, a month before he was arrested. The CPS responded: "We are happy to write to Mr Gambaccini to set out a chronology of CPS actions and to explain our decision and we will be doing so in due course but we are happy with the decision making his case." Changes to police bail are currently being discussed by government, the CPS added. Home Secretary Theresa May had recommended introducing an initial time limit on bail of 28 days in December. Appearing before the Home Affairs Select Committee this week, Ms May said there was still some debate about whether it was appropriate for someone to remain anonymous until charged. When pressed by the committee she agreed that "generally speaking" she supported anonymity, but there were exceptions, particularly where a case has to be built. Notts want to re-sign Noble, 26, who spent two seasons at Meadow Lane before joining Forest Green in June 2016. Vince told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: "We may, because I don't think they're going to grasp the seriousness of the situation unless we do [complain]." The Magpies acted "professionally and diligently", insists owner Alan Hardy. Earlier on Friday, Vince claimed County had made "behind-the-scenes contact" with Noble, having had offers for the midfielder rejected. FA rules state that players cannot be approached by another club while under contract without the permission of their current club. Notts have said they made an offer of £100,000 for Noble, which they believed would match League Two rivals Rovers' asking price, but, in a strongly worded statement, Vince dismissed that claim. He said: "We have received a series of bids for Liam. The first we considered to be a joke. Their latest 'final' bid we received was not for £100,000, as their owner claimed in the press yesterday [Thursday]. "Equally, the claim made yesterday about us suggesting they could double that amount and still not get him is completely false. "We've been very clear from the outset that we did not want to sell Liam and the antics of Notts County since then have only firmed up that position. He is not for sale. "We want Notts County to stop what they are doing, including the behind-the-scenes contact with the player, which we consider to be a breach of FA rules. "Forest Green Rovers may be the newest and smallest member of the Football League family, but we know how to conduct ourselves and how to undertake a transfer negotiation the right way - quietly and respectfully, club to club." In response to Forest Green's statement, Hardy insisted his club's football operations director, Jason Turner, had acted properly. "I can confirm that a number of bids have been made by the club, and that the final bid was for a transfer fee of £100,000 payable immediately," he told the club website. "Why Dale Vince would deny this when it is fact baffles me. "Furthermore, Jason Turner, who has been handling this matter in the strictest of confidence, was told by James Mooney of Forest Green Rovers when the final bid was rejected that they would not sell him to us for double the price. "Dale Vince also claims they have been very clear from the outset that they did not want to sell Liam. "While this may be the case, they have also been very clear from the outset that an offer of £100,000 guaranteed would be acceptable. "It was only when this bid was lodged that they changed their minds. "I am more than comfortable that we have negotiated with Forest Green Rovers in a professional and diligent manner." Flintshire, Neath Port Talbot, Newport and Wrexham won their bids for cash for new vehicles, depots and equipment. Of the four, only Newport failed to hit the target of recycling 52% of rubbish in 2014 but the target is now 58%. Natural Resources Minister Carl Sargeant said the aim was to achieve a "more consistent universal service across Wales". Merthyr Tydfil and Rhondda Cynon Taff were the worst performers in 2013-14, both recycling less than half of all rubbish they collected. Underlying economic vulnerabilities have been addressed, and steady growth looks set to continue, it said. But high household debt, a "strikingly large" trade deficit and high government debt are still risks to the economy. It also warned about uncertainty over whether the UK would stay in the EU. "Trade would be harder, tariffs would be higher, [and] the financial fluidity within the European Union would not be as good as it is at the moment, [should the UK leave the EU]," the IMF's Christine Lagarde told BBC business editor Kamal Ahmed. She said the IMF was in favour of opening up trade, removing barriers, and the mobility of goods, capital and people. "[The EU] has proven effective over the years," she said. Analysis BBC business editor Kamal Ahmed Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the IMF, is not a politician. And makes it clear that decisions on "specific projects" are a matter for others, engineers for one. But even she found it almost impossible not to add her voice to those expressing frustration at the government's decision last night not to give the go-ahead to a new runway at either Heathrow or Gatwick. Mme Lagarde was in London for the publication of the IMF's latest assessment of the UK economy. Read Kamal's blog post here. She gave an upbeat assessment of the UK economy, saying that the UK was in a strong position at the moment. "Life is about risk, but what we are seeing is a very strong performance from the British economy," she said. Growth has outstripped other major economies, the unemployment rate has fallen, employment is at a high, the fiscal deficit has been reduced, and financial sector resilience has increased, the IMF said in a report. Steady growth looks likely to continue over the next few years, and inflation should gradually return to its 2% target, the IMF said. But although UK house price growth has eased, the household debt-to-income ratio is still high, and could leave some households vulnerable to shock interest rate rises. The large trade deficit could affect cash flows into the UK, adversely affecting growth, the report says. In addition, high government debt, and a continuing deficit, could tie the government's hands in dealing with any future recession, and productivity growth might fail to materialise. Chancellor George Osborne said the IMF report "could hardly be more positive" about the UK economy, but that it "rightly" identified challenges. He said the government had taken steps to address UK productivity, the housing market and deficit reduction. Mat Waybourne, 42, from Tupsley, Herefordshire, spent two months and £800 building the two-storey wooden house for seven-year-old Lilly. It features a balcony, ladders and windows that overlook other gardens. Herefordshire Council has advised Mr Waybourne he can choose to appeal against the decision. However, he said paperwork sent to him stated a fee of £344 must be paid to the authority if he does go ahead. Mr Waybourne said: "My daughter always wanted a tree house. That's why I'd built one. I don't feel it's safe for the kids to play in the streets. "[The council] is wasting money on silly things like this. Hopefully I'll be able to afford [the appeal]." A council spokeswoman said: "The council has served an enforcement notice upon Mr Waybourne for a breach of planning regulations, relating to a four metre construction he has erected within two metres of his land boundary. "He has a right to appeal against this." The authority has made £114m of savings since 2010 but a new spending plan has now been drawn up for the next period. It said support for vulnerable people accounted for almost two-thirds of its annual budget and it was now having to help people more than ever. An eight-week public consultation will seek feedback on the proposals. The council said it was considering a four-stage approach to: Council leader Mark Hawthorne added: "What we're looking at is a fundamental change in our approach to supporting people so we can help them be more independent, and to lead fulfilled lives within their own homes and communities. "We're seeing an unprecedented increase in the elderly population - of 3.4% a year. "If you stretch that over 10 years that's a 40% increase in those potentially seeking council services. "We need to change or we won't be there for those who need us most in 10 years' time," he added. Over the past four years the council has reduced its staff by 2,500, reduced its debt by £30m and has 82 fewer buildings. The number of over-65s in the county is increasing by 3.5% a year on average, according to the council. Ramil Nigmatzyanov and Ilshat Garifullin were jailed for two and two-and-a-half years respectively for exceeding their authority in Kazan. The pair did not directly take part in torture. Several other officers are accused of beating Sergei Nazarov and sexually abusing him with a bottle. His death in March led to protests in Kazan that drew nationwide attention. Nigmatzyanov and Garifullin were sentenced on Tuesday by the court in the capital of Russia's Tatarstan republic. By Olga IvshinaBBC Russian Service, Kazan The courtroom was full of journalists, who by far outnumbered relatives of both the accused and the victim. Speaking very quietly, Garifullin asked Mr Nazarov's family to pardon him. He pleaded not to be put in jail, promising to pay 500,000 roubles (£9,930; $16,140) in compensation demanded from each police officer by Mr Nazarov's brother. Nigmatzyanov chose not to speak in the courtroom. The policemen's relatives started crying after the verdict was announced. Garifullin's lawyer later said he would appeal against the verdict. They were the first to be convicted in a case that has sent shockwaves across Russia. The pair were found guilty of illegally detaining Mr Nazarov, 52, on suspicion of theft and then falsifying his statement, which led to his arrest. Nine other police officers, including those who are suspected of torturing Mr Nazarov, are yet to go on trial. The victim died in hospital of his injuries, after telling investigators about his ordeal. This case opened a floodgate of complaints about police violence in Kazan. The street protests in the city also forced the resignation of Tatarstan's interior minister. The incident happened after a much-vaunted nationwide reform of the police force, which the authorities had hailed as a triumph. However, Russian human rights activists say that nothing has radically changed since Mr Nazarov's death, the BBC's Olga Ivshina in Kazan reports. The activists say they continue to systematically receive complaints about violence in police stations, including beatings and torture, our correspondent adds. Perez, who signed for £17.1m in August, was taken off with an ankle injury after 72 minutes of Arsenal's 2-0 EFL Cup win on Tuesday. "It's an injury coming from nowhere, and a stupid one, because it was a deliberate kick," said Wenger ahead of Saturday's trip to Sunderland. "It's very frustrating." Wenger compared Gravenberch's challenge to the foul on Modou Barrow that saw Gunners midfielder Granit Xhaka sent off in his team's 3-2 win over Swansea on 15 October. "It was not needed. I think it was a more frustrated reaction from the player," said Wenger. "It's a similar tackle to Xhaka, but there was no red card." Gravenberch - who was known by the nickname Gravenbeast during his time in the Netherlands' Eredivisie - received four yellow cards and a red in his first 10 league games for Romanian side Cluj in the 2014-15 season. Perez, 28, has scored two goals in six games since arriving at the Emirates Stadium but as well as the trip to Sunderland is expected to miss Premier League matches against Tottenham and Manchester United, and the Champions League tie with Paris St-Germain. Although Perez is expected to be out until December, Arsenal's forward line is set to be strengthened by the return of Olivier Giroud. The France international came through his comeback as a substitute in the win over the Royals on Tuesday after a month out with a toe injury. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) also found this group were likely to earn less and marry women with lower incomes. It said the trends made poverty more likely to continue from one generation to the next and reduce social mobility. The government said it wanted to "build an economy that works for everyone". Since coming to power, Prime Minister Theresa May has promised to do more for families who are "just about managing". Among other things, she has said it is vital to tackle the shorter life expectancy for those born poor, and the lower chances of white working class boys going to university. However, with price increases outstripping wages since the Brexit vote, many workers are getting poorer on average in real terms. Moreover, average real wages in the UK are still lower than they were before the financial crisis 10 years ago. The IFS based its findings on the most recent long-term study available, which surveyed people born in 1970 and followed them as they got older. It found that more than a third of men aged 42 from the poorest fifth of families did not live with a partner in 2012. That compared with only a seventh from high-income backgrounds. It said men from disadvantaged backgrounds experienced lower rates of marriage and higher rates of divorce. It also looked at men in couples. It found that the partners of those from richer backgrounds earned more than 70% more than the partners of men from poorer families. Chris Belfield, a research economist at the IFS, said: "As well as having higher earnings, those from richer families are more likely to be in work, more likely to have a partner and more likely to have a higher-earning partner than those from less well-off backgrounds. "And all these inequalities have been widening over time." The IFS said it was "well known" that the sons of richer parents tended to go on to earn more. However, it said the earnings gap with those from less well-off backgrounds was widening. In 2012, employed 42-year-old men whose parents were among the richest fifth of households earned on average 88% more than those from the poorest families, it said. Back in 2000 the figure was only 47%. IFS director Paul Johnson, told the BBC that social mobility also appeared to have dropped over time. He said the relationship between the incomes of people born in the early 1970s and that of their parents was stronger than for people born in the late 1950s. That, combined with the fact that "you're more likely to marry someone who's more like you... means social mobility is even lower and it's another thing that's reducing social mobility over time because this relationship between your parents' incomes and your partner's earnings has grown over time". However, a Treasury spokesman said that overall, income inequality had fallen and that more people were in work than ever before. He added: "We want to build an economy that works for everyone regardless of their background. "That's why we are helping people keep more of what they earn by taking 1.3 million people out of tax and increasing the National Living Wage which is worth an extra £1,400 a year." The artwork is called Ten Million and stands on top of the Golden Cap above cliffs between Charmouth and Bridport in Dorset. It was created by Zac Greening to highlight pollution around the coast. The "light cube" symbolises one of the 10m metric tonnes of plastic that researchers believe are dumped into the sea every year. It will be in place until early January, and will be illuminated from late afternoon until around 21:00 GMT. The sculpture has been installed as part of the National Trust's 2015 Coastal Festival. Helen Mann, the trust's general manager for west and north Dorset, said the sculpture was "an innovative way to help highlight the issues of plastic pollution in our seas and around our coast". The charity launched a competition in 2015 to design a bridge to improve access to the historic beauty spot. Ney & Partners Civil Engineers, from Belgium, and William Matthews Associates, based in London, are behind the winning concept. They were among 137 design groups to enter the international contest. English Heritage said the new bridge - connecting two sites at the castle - will help visitors "better understand the site's history, improve access to the island, and help to protect and conserve the landscape". English Heritage said the Belgian-UK design was chosen by the jury for its "elegant, delicate profile and structural ingenuity". Kate Mavor, chief executive of English Heritage, said: "The winning team's concept is daring and very exciting. It is not the final design but instead a brilliant indication of the team's talent and imagination. "We will now work with them on a design that will both complement the spectacular landscape and unlock for the visitor the history of the site." The design team said it was "a rare privilege and honour" to be able to work on the project. Civil engineer at Ney & Partners in Brussels, Matthieu Mallié, told the BBC: "We were surprised and also pleased of course to win the competition." He said they had studied the Celtic history and the original drawbridge at Tintagel Castle before drawing up a solution with the architects. "The brief was very difficult...One of the main challenges was to find a stable solution in the landscape." English Heritage is hoping the bridge will be completed in 2019.

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." The incident happened at 00:50 BST on Sunday and involved a Ford Ka and a Peugeot 308. A man and a woman in their 50s suffered non- life threatening injuries and the road remains closed. On Saturday, a 79-year-old man died after an Audi A4 and a Ford Escort collided on the Cavan Road near Newtownbutler, County Fermanagh. He has been named as Patrick James McGeough from the Monaghan area. The accident happened at 14:25 BST and police have appealed for anyone with information to contact the non-emergency number of 101. The Clooney Road in Derry has reopened between the Maydown and Gransha roundabouts. Any witnesses are asked to call Strand Road Police Station or the Collision Investigation Unit on the non-emergency number 101. Sinn Féin councillor Paul Fleming said the community was "in shock". "Any death on our roads is one too many and a tragedy for all those involved," he said. "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who has died at this difficult and sad time and those injured in this accident." Meanwhile, a man was seriously injured in a one-vehicle crash in Ballywalter, County Down, on Saturday. He is believed to be 19 years old and police say he is in a critical but stable condition in hospital. The accident happened at 16:50 BST on the Dunover Road and the road was closed until 20:50 BST. Daughter shows a girl racing against boys in a soapbox derby while her father, voiced by actor George Clooney, asks: "What do I tell my daughter? Do I tell her her grandpa is worth more than her grandma? That her dad is worth more than her mom? Do I tell her that despite her education, her drive, her skills, her intelligence, she will automatically be valued as less than every man she meets?" The girl then wins the race, and the father concludes: "Or maybe I'll be able to tell her something different." The advert ends with the tagline: "Progress is for everyone." Patriots stun Falcons to win Super Bowl All about Lady Gaga's Super Bowl show The Audi of America website expands on the campaign, citing a US Joint Economic Committee report from April 2016 which found that on average American women are paid 21% less than men. "So at Audi of America, we are standing up alongside every other organization that supports this important cause," the website says. While many viewers applauded the ad, there has also been considerable backlash. On YouTube, where it was first published on 1 February, dislikes currently outnumber likes by more than 12,000. "Tell your daughter to work for what she wants... Not beg for special treatment because she's a woman," says one viewer. "Propaganda. Absolutely disgusting," simply says another.

Lisa Granatstein, editor at Adweek, said that although there have been female empowerment ad campaigns during the Super Bowl before - including last year's Like a Girl campaign for Always - Audi's is "one step forward" by taking on a specific issue like the pay gap which has become "part of the national conversation". Ms Granatstein said she thought Daughter was "a very bold stand in terms of celebrating and campaigning for pay equity which has become a big issue in this country." As for the backlash, she felt this was partly due to "the tone that it was implied that men did not value women equally". "Every time an advertiser steps into a political fray they risk some backlash." But she said that Audi will be well aware that almost half of Super Bowl viewers are women and "women are decision makers, they are buying cars themselves, and why not support them?" Wesley Hartman, professor of marketing at Stanford University, said that the ad was a strategic move. "In tackling the gender pay gap it is looking to broaden its consumer base and tackle its corporate responsibility. The image of Audi is pretty irresponsible right now with the Volkswagen emission controversy and this is a way to improve their corporate image in a way that is unconnected." But he said he felt the Super Bowl "is not necessarily the right venue to be political - with such a wide viewership of all political leanings it is not surprising to get a fight back". Commentators pointed out that this year's Super Bowl ads were especially political, including emphases on diversity and immigration. An advert by holiday rental company Airbnb showed people of different races and said: "We believe no matter who you are, where you're from, who you love or who you worship, we all belong," the advert said. "The world is more beautiful the more you accept." And a building materials supplier, 84 Lumber, showed the journey made by a family from Central America to the US, the longer online version of which shows them arriving at a huge wall, only to find someone had built a door into it. There was also plenty of support for the ad. "I love this ad. How could anyone not want their daughter, mother or wife to be treated equally? Thanks Audi," said @ChristinaDay99. "Really happy to own an Audi, especially after seeing this," tweeted @Justineplays. But several viewers also pointed out that despite Audi's professed ambitions for gender equality, only two of the people on its 14-member US executive board are women. Audi responded by saying: "Twelve percent of senior management at Audi of America are women. We have pledged to put aggressive hiring and development strategies in place to increase the number of women in our workforce, at all levels, and will work aggressively towards that goal." Austerity measures will be extended to 2018 and Mr Osborne looks set to miss key debt-reduction targets. He also announced more money for roads and schools and axed a planned 3p fuel duty rise, in his Autumn Statement. He said "turning back now would be a disaster" for the UK. But Labour said his credibility was "in tatters". Mr Osborne had said debt would start falling as a proportion of GDP by 2015/16 - the year of the next general election. But he has been forced to delay that target by a year because of the worse than expected state of the economy, which is now expected to shrink this year by 0.1%. The Office for Budgetary Responsibility says the UK has a "better than 50% chance of eliminating the structural current deficit in five years time", said the chancellor - meaning his other key objective has been pushed back by a year to 2017/18. This move heralds a fresh benefits squeeze and a raid on the pensions of the wealthy. At-a-glance: Key points In depth: Autumn Statement Most working age benefits, such as Jobseekers Allowance and Child Benefit, will go up by 1%, less than the rate of inflation, for the next three years. MPs are due to vote on the benefit squeeze, although Labour has yet to decide whether it will oppose the move. "We need to see the detail," said the shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, Rachel Reeves. "I just don't think it can be right to be cutting the support for those people on modest incomes and those people who through no fault of their own have lost their jobs" And there will be a further cut in tax relief on large pension pots, saving £1bn a year - something the chancellor said proved "we are all in it together". In other moves: Income tax personal allowances will go up by £1,335 - £235 more than previously announced - so no tax will be paid on earnings under £9,440. The threshold for the 40% rate of income tax is to rise by 1% in 2014 and 2015 from £41,450 to £41,865 and then £42,285. The basic state pension will rise by 2.5% next year to £110.15 a week. Mr Osborne announced a fresh crackdown on tax avoidance and a squeeze on Whitehall budgets to pay for a new road and school building programme. He told MPs: "It's taking time, but the British economy is healing." But Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls, for Labour, accused Mr Osborne of breaking his own rules, on which his credibility depended. By Iain WatsonPolitical correspondent, BBC News The Office of Budget Responsibility was set up by the chancellor, but is designed to provide independent economic forecasts. Its chairman Robert Chote reassured journalists at his press briefing that there had been no political interference in his work. And certainly there would be some grim reading in their latest report. Forecasts for economic growth downgraded since the Budget; a 70% chance the structural deficit will go by 2017/18 (initially this was to go entirely by election time) and the news that George Osborne was no longer on course to meet his debt target. But given what many other forecasters were predicting the Chancellor probably sighed with relief when the OBR showed them their draft report two weeks ago. Unlike others the OBR believes borrowing will be lower this year than it did at the time of the Budget. That has helped blunt a political attack but is largely due to an accounting change which lowers borrowing this year but pushes it up a bit later on. The assumed proceeds from the 4G auction also helps enormously. So while the overall outlook looks worse than at the time of the budget the chancellor has been provided with some - relatively - encouraging short term news. "Today after two and a half years we can see, and people can feel in the country, the true scale of this government's economic failure," Mr Balls told MPs, He said the average family with children on £20,000 a year would be "worse off" - even with the personal allowance changes. Mr Balls claimed Mr Osborne's plan to raise £1bn from pension tax relief on the well-off raised less than £1.6bn given away in Mr Osborne's first Budget on the same reliefs. Office for Budgetary Responsibility chief Robert Chote said growth had been slower than predicted when the coalition came to power because of "disappointing" consumer spending, business investment and trade. "What's striking has been the weakness of the recovery over such an extended period of time," he added. Asked if this meant the government was no further forward in fixing the UK's economy than when it started, he said underlying structural problems had been worse than initially thought and he was now "less optimistic" about its long-term ability to bounce back. A senior Liberal Democrat source described the Autumn Statement as a "good package" of measures in which the coalition had made "tough but fair" decisions. CBI director general John Cridland welcomed the promised investment in infrastructure and new tax relief measures for small firms but said businesses now "need to see the chancellor's words translated into building sites on the ground". "It is no surprise that after a difficult year the economic realities dictate that austerity and debt reduction will take longer," he added. "The chancellor has stuck to his guns on deficit reduction - avoiding deeper cuts or more borrowing in order to retain international credibility." But TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said: "What is missing today is any vision of a future economy that can deliver decent jobs and living standards - it's pain without purpose." He added: "When you are self-harming you should stop, not look for better sticking plasters." Plaid Cymru MP Hywel Williams said the benefits squeeze set out in the Autumn Statement threatened to dismantle the welfare state and create a generation lost to unemployment, homelessness and poverty. By Nick RobinsonPolitical editor "Wales' higher-than-UK-average unemployment levels also show that the welfare of Welsh workers and jobseekers are low on the London priorities list," he said. The SNP welcomed the "long overdue" extra capital investment promised for Scotland, but the party's Westminster leader Angus Robertson said Mr Osborne's "right wing pursuit of austerity" had wrecked the UK's economy. "His response today has simply been to announce yet more austerity which will bear down extremely harshly on some of the most vulnerable people in society," added the MP. But UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage said Mr Osborne was "not cutting far enough or fast enough" and asked what had happened to the government's much-vaunted "bonfire of the quangos". "We have got to make some big, deep cuts in these areas and I just don't think this government has the courage to do what needs to be done", he added. A hole measuring 3m sq (9 sq ft) and 1.3m (4ft) deep appeared in Ironbridge Road, last Boxing Day. It was caused by workings in the underlying clay mines, weakening surrounding soils. The road, rebuilt on top of a concrete slab held in place by 70 metal poles sunk into the ground, has been opened to traffic. The rapper made the comments in the wake of protests which have been taking place in the US after the killing of two black men by police last week. Five police officers were later killed after a man opened fire near a peaceful protest in Dallas. While being honoured at the ceremony, Latifah said: "Listen, we all know our world is really tense right now." "I'm hoping that we can somehow manage to channel all of these emotions that we have in a positive way, and really do something to change our world." Tributes were also paid to Lil' Kim, Missy Elliott and Salt-N-Pepa at the event - which focused on female artists in hip-hop. "I don't care how much or things I have, or Puff has, or Missy has," Latifah said, referring to her own wealth and that of fellow rappers P Diddy and Missy Elliott. "If I go outside and try to hail a cab and he passes me for the white woman standing right there, that racism is still alive and kicking. And we have to change that." Latifah added: "I'm not blaming the white lady, she needed a cab too. I'm just saying we need to change this attitude." The sentiment was echoed by Alicia Garza, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, who opened the ceremony saying: "This movement is grounded in black peoples' dignity, justice and freedom. It's about love, not violence." Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram, or email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. The spray was used during a return parade on the Ormeau Road on Tuesday. The PSNI said two officers received minor injuries during a "minor disturbance". A 26-year-old man has been charged with assault. The parade's organiser, Noel Liggett, said the spray caused children to have swollen eyes and lips. He said there were "shocking scenes" and he questioned "the common sense" of police action. Speaking to the BBC's Nolan Show, Ch Supt Chris Noble denied that any children were directly in contact with the spray. In a later statement, he said the use of CS spray "is tightly scrutinised within the PSNI and officers use their judgement when it comes to a graduated response to any threat that they may come under". "As is standard procedure, the Police Ombudsman has been informed in regard to the use of CS incapacitant spray," he added. "We welcome the Ombudsman's investigation and we will co-operate fully with their enquiries. "Any subsequent contact any children or young people had with CS spray particles is deeply regretted. "Senior colleagues were in communication with community representatives and politicians last night following the incident and I would be happy to meet with any band members, organisers or anyone in the local community who have concerns about this incident in the days ahead." First Minister Arlene Foster said she has spoken to the chief constable over the incident. Supt Darrin Jones told Good Morning Ulster that two neighbourhood officers were escorting the parade along the road on Tuesday. It was returning from a Junior Orange Order parade in Carrickfergus, County Antrim. "As they were going up the road, they (the band) were coming into contact with some parked cars or cars that were being diverted off the route," he said. "The officer at the time, who is a neighbourhood officer, was trying to resolve the situation and trying to nudge members of the band on to the road to keep them from damaging the cars. "At some stage, a couple of members of that band attacked that officer, and in doing so he drew his baton to protect himself. "The officer in front, on a motorcycle, saw what was happening, got off to assist his colleague and was again set upon by other members of the band. "Because of the numbers and because they were isolated, one of the officers felt it was proportionate and reasonable to draw his CS spray and use it at those who were attacking him." Supt Jones said that a referral on the incident had been made to the police ombudsman and he appealed "to anyone in the band or any passers-by" to give a statement to the ombudsman. Earlier, Mr Liggett told Good Morning Ulster that the CS spray was "indiscriminately" used after police confronted the parade. He said it was "completely false" that cars were being damaged as the parade made its way up the road. "We have a situation where we put adults between the children and the cars, this police officer seemed to think by this action we were causing damage to cars which was not the case. "The police officer, I would hope he took it upon himself, decided he would turn around and draw his baton, confront the parade and start pushing members across the road." He said a number of children were caught up in a "very serious incident" after the spray was used. "Around 20 children were on parade with us yesterday, the average age would be six, seven, eight and nine," he said. "I was quite shocked to see many young children in a state of shock. "Five of them had suffered the effect of CS gas and a number of young children in the band had also suffered the effects of the gas." He added that a "very frank meeting where both sides put their case" was held with police after the parade. A man will appear at Belfast Magistrates Court on Tuesday, 26 April charged with disorderly behaviour and two counts of assault on police. The Department of Regional Development contracts to complete re-signalling works and a passing loop on the line have been awarded. Transport Minister Danny Kennedy said that the scheme will now cost £46m. The original cost was estimated at £20m which then rose to £40m. The project had been held up at the start of the year because of problems with the contract. Work on the railway line is to begin at the end of June. A local firm has also been awarded a contract for the construction of a passing loop at Bellarena. Danny Kennedy said: "I am very pleased to announce today that work can now progress on this important project. "My commitment to the Coleraine to Londonderry rail line has always been clear and I have worked hard to ensure that this line remained open. "The project is a key Programme for Government commitment and is evidence of the executive's determination to invest in our rail network. "It also signals our continuing commitment to invest in the North West and improve connections and frequency of service between Belfast and Londonderry." The minister commissioned an independent review in 2014 of the project following concerns that the original cost estimate for the scheme was significantly underestimated. "The overall cost at £46m is higher than originally envisaged but reflects the market we are competing in. "I will make the funding available from my capital budget and the project should be largely completed by December 2016. "The path to today's announcement has not been straightforward. It has not been without criticism." Clive Bradberry of Translink said: "The line is already extremely successful boosting strong passenger growth up 12% last year. "This announcement today is great news for the North West. "When the work is completed it will mean a more resilient rail service to and from Derry, including the potential for more frequent and faster journeys. "There will be some temporary travel arrangements needed during the course of the project, such as weekend line closures, but we will communicate these and any interim travel arrangements in good time, once confirmed." 14 April 2016 Last updated at 18:56 BST It is believed to be a world first, and doctors believe it could revolutionise medical training around the world. BBC Click's Spencer Kelly attended the event. Lock Charteris, 32, who has won 62 caps for Wales, arrives at the Rec from Racing 92 at the end of the season. Thomas said he was happy to see head coach Mike Ford strengthen Bath. "Signing players like Luke (Charteris) and Dave Denton is like the little bit extra on top," Thomas told BBC Radio Bristol. "I think we just like to improve every week but it is almost the frosting." Denton signed from Edinburgh on 10 November following the departure of Sam Burgess who went back to play rugby league for South Sydney Rabbitohs in the NRL. Bath travel to Leicester on Sunday for the first time since they thumped the Tigers 47-10 in May. "They will want to atone for that but going there is always a tough place to go so we will have to be right on it," added 24-year-old Thomas. "I am not sure I have ever won there in my career so it is a big milestone for me to try and win there. "They pride themselves on the set-piece, there will be some big scrums and big mauls." The Magpies moved above Sunderland into 18th place in the table after Wijnaldum's shot was deflected off Martin Skrtel's knee, before the Dutchman added a second in injury time. Liverpool, who had won seven of their last eight games, were poor. Alberto Moreno was wrongly denied by an offside flag as Reds boss Jurgen Klopp suffered a second defeat in 12 games. But in a scrappy game which lacked quality, Newcastle achieved a much-needed victory for Steve McClaren, who admitted earlier this week that confidence at the club has been "fragile". After conceding eight goals in their last two games, the result came courtesy of an improved defensive display from the hosts. And in Wijnaldum, who took his tally to seven for the season following his £14.5m move from PSV Eindhoven in July, they have a player who has offered the goal-scoring threat they have been previously missing. Following Liverpool's 6-1 win at Southampton in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday, Klopp's reputation at Liverpool reached new heights. But his decision to make six alterations, including the omission of Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi, who scored five goals at St Mary's between them, seemed to backfire. Winger Jordon Ibe was their best outlet going forward but Christian Benteke was left isolated ahead of him and wasted a good chance from a corner, while Roberto Firmino looked a vastly inferior player to the one who tormented Manchester City two weekends ago. Media playback is not supported on this device Once Benteke and Firmino were replaced by Sturridge and Adam Lallana after the hour mark, Liverpool found a better rhythm to their play. However, Sturridge, playing in only his fifth Premier League game of the season after injury, wasted a good chance to equalise and Moreno was denied a wonderful volley from an angle. The result leaves Liverpool in seventh place, six points behind fourth-placed Manchester United. Liverpool did not reach the levels of recent weeks, when they secured away wins at Chelsea and Manchester City, but Newcastle showed a ruggedness and willingness to track back which has been in short supply this season. Right-back Paul Dummett had a busy afternoon as he came up against the energetic Ibe, but kept the Liverpool youngster at bay, while Vernon Anita and Jack Colback were robust in central midfield. Elsewhere, forward Siem de Jong, on his first Premier League start of the season, often tracked back to help out his team-mates which helped Newcastle set up a platform for the victory. Liverpool were more positive once Sturridge was introduced, yet it allowed McClaren's team to sit back and break, which suited the pace of Sissoko and Wijnaldum, and they combined superbly for the second goal, which sent St James' Park into raptures. Newcastle manager Steve McClaren on the win: "It's absolutely huge, absolutely massive. Once or twice we've taken ourselves to the brink of crisis and clawed our way back and that's what we've done today. Media playback is not supported on this device "We worked hard, it is so tough to get a result in this league. We've crawled off the field, we've put in so much effort. That's what we need every week." Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "I think we deserved a point maybe but not more because we didn't play well enough. I like to play the dirty points too - it's no problem. If Alberto's goal was given it was 1-1 then the game can change. Until then we didn't play as well as we like to. "I have to watch the game again. We were not really in the game. We were not aggressive enough or close enough. There were good moments for pressing but we didn't do it." Newcastle travel to Tottenham next Sunday before hosting Aston Villa the following Saturday, while Liverpool are at FC Sion in the Europa League and host West Brom next Sunday. Prince William completed a civilian pilot course in September before taking dedicated 999-response training in order to take up the role with the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA). The former RAF helicopter pilot will cover Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. His first shift began at Cambridge Airport at 07:00 BST. The prince's first shift as a co-pilot alongside medical staff will be nine-and-a-half hours long. He said: "It's my first day and I'm feeling the nerves. "We're starting off on a wet Cambridge day, but I'm really looking forward to getting started." Prince William's shift pattern will be four days on, four days off, but it will take into account his official royal duties. The prince said: "Obviously at some point there is going to be a lot more pressure and responsibility from the other side of my life, but at the moment I'm juggling the two of them and a young family and I'm enjoying the challenge. "It's a follow-on from where I was with the military search and rescue with many of the same sorts of skills, so it was a natural progression." Bond Air Services operates the air ambulance on behalf of the charity and the prince will be paid a salary which he is donating to charity. Speaking when the appointment was announced, EAAA chief executive Patrick Peal said the organisation, which needs to to raise £7.5m a year to continue its work, would benefit from William's skills as a pilot and the charity's profile would be boosted. "It is a very close-knit crew with the pilot operating closely with the doctor and paramedic so we need a strong team in every operation we go on," he said. Following the birth of Princess Charlotte in May, the prince and his family have spent much of their time at their home, Anmer Hall, on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. Wigtown will host about 280 events between 23 September and 2 October. Among the speakers this year are politician Sir Malcolm Rifkind, TV presenter Janet Ellis and journalist Sian Williams. Director Adrian Turpin said they tried to do things a little bit differently every year. "It is the largest festival we have ever run - there are about 280 events this year," he said. "At the centre of it all this year one of the things we are going to be looking at is the subject of islands." Mr Turpin said that theme would cover Scottish islands but also the implications of Brexit. As well as a wide programme of talks other events are planned throughout the 10-day festival. They include a creative writing class, discussion of the future of public libraries and a class on "street wisdom". Bob Baffert's four-year-old secured the title after earning a rating of 134 for his half-length victory over California Chrome at Santa Anita in November. California Chrome, trained by Art Sherman, is the world's second highest-rated horse in flat racing on 133. The pair will meet again in the $12m (£9.6m) Pegasus World Cup on Saturday. It is the second year in a row an American runner has been named the world's best after American Pharoah, also trained by Baffert, was rated at 134 and topped the 2015 rankings. The only United States-based horse to be rated higher in the past two decades is Cigar, who finished 1996 at 135. In third this time is the Australian mare Winx, who received her highest rating of 132 after winning her second Cox Plate. The top-rated European-trained horse, in fourth, is French trainer Jean-Claude Rouget's Almanzor, who won the Prix du Jockey Club, the Irish Champion Stakes and the Champion Stakes. Dubai, Epsom and York winner Postponed took joint-eighth spot for Roger Varian, to be the highest British representative.

The sale price, which includes a 12% buyer's premium, was more than twice its estimate of $15m-$25m (£10m-£16m). Mondrian's previous auction record was $27.6m (£17.5m). The auction capped two weeks of sales that have brought in record sums of money at both Christie's and Sotheby's auction houses. Christie's alone took more than $1.3bn (£826m) during the course of its Monday and Wednesday sales this week. On Monday, Picasso's Women of Algiers became the most expensive painting to sell at auction, fetching $179.3m (£114m) including buyer's premium. Alberto Giacometti's life-size sculpture Pointing Man also set a record for the most expensive sculpture, selling for $141.3m (£89.8m). On Wednesday, expressionist Mark Rothko's No 10 sold for $81.9m (£52m), one of the highest sums ever paid for his work. The journalist, Igal Sarna, was ordered to pay the couple $32,500 (£25,000) by a court in Tel Aviv. Judge Azaria Alkalai said that the allegations had not been substantiated by witnesses. The couple had vigorously denied the story. Mr Sarna wrote on Facebook two years ago that Sara Netanyahu had stopped her husband's convoy on a highway one night during a row and ejected her husband. He said he had heard the account from several people, including a member of the prime minister's security detail, and that he had attempted to verify their stories. He declined to name his sources, telling the court that they were refusing to testify because they were "afraid". Mr Sarna works for Yediot Aharonot newspaper which is often critical of Mr Netanyahu. In March, at the opening of the case, Mr Netanyahu told the court that the journalist's post was a "lie". "Anyone who knows anything about motorcade security knows that something like that cannot happen," he said. Mrs Netanyahu said that although she had had arguments with her husband over the years, she could not remember one taking place in a motorcade. The Netanyahus had sought 280,000 shekels ($79,300; £62,200) in damages. The court awarded Mr Netanyahu 60,000 shekels in damages and Mrs Netanyahu 40,000 shekels. The couple were awarded 15,000 shekels costs. The joyous news was dropped on the notorious internment camp from a plane - and she has kept one of the leaflets containing the revelation in her possession for 70 years. In February 1942 she lived in Johor Bahru, in British Malaya, with her parents and three siblings when, along with Singapore, it was invaded by the Japanese. As a 10-year-old, Olga Morris - as she was then known - and her family were forced to walk 17 miles without water to the centre of Singapore, then on to Changi. Her memories of that time remain extremely vivid. "We had to go over a bridge. There were nine heads on this bridge, all on spikes. I can still see two of them." It was a deterrent for those people who did not behave, recalled 83-year-old Mrs Henderson, who now lives in Eastbourne, East Sussex. The family was split into separate camps in Changi - her father was taken to the men's camp at a military base called Selerang, where Allied soldiers were also held. Mrs Henderson went to the women's jail with her mother, older sister and two younger brothers. Nearly 3,000 civilians were held in Changi, which was originally built to hold a quarter of that number, and the conditions were appalling. "There was nowhere to sleep, it was just concrete floors," Mrs Henderson said. "You always had boils, and sores under your armpits and you had to walk about with your hands on your hips - because they were too sore. Your head was full of nits." There were, however, some good times in the camp, as one of the internees decided to start a Girl Guide group, which would meet once a week in a corner of the exercise yard. To relieve the boredom, and as a surprise birthday present for their guide leader, the girls met in secret and sewed her a patchwork quilt using hexagonal scraps of material they had found, and needles and thread belonging to Mrs Henderson's mother. "It was being naughty, but we were enjoying it. The Japanese didn't like anything unusual," she said. She was 13 by the time the Japanese surrendered to the Allies on 14 August 1945, but it was to be several days before she realised the war was finally over. Hundreds of leaflets announcing the news and arrangements for the welfare of prisoners were dropped on to the camp, and "everyone rushed to grab one". "To see it in writing was wonderful... us children were pushing each other out of the way trying to get one as they fluttered down," Mrs Henderson said. Arash Sadeghi is serving a 19-year prison sentence in Iran for alleged conspiracy and propaganda against the state, but denies the allegations. He began his protest after his wife, Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee, was jailed for writing a story about stoning. Mr Sadeghi is one of eight prisoners said to be on hunger strike in Iran. Concerns over his health have increased in recent days and on Friday he was the subject of an international Twitter campaign under the hashtag #SaveArash. The campaign received support from hundreds of users and became a trending topic on the social media site worldwide even though the platform is banned in Iran. Mr Sadeghi has claimed that Ms Ebrahimi Iraee's six-year prison sentence was handed to her by the authorities to further punish him. She was jailed last year on the basis of an unpublished story she had written about the stoning to death of a woman accused of adultery. Amnesty International called the conviction "ludicrous" and the trial "farcical". Both husband and wife were arrested by men believed to be members of the Revolutionary Guard on on 6 September 2014. Authorities found the story, written in a private diary, at their home. Mr Sadeghi's mother, who was also home at the time, reportedly suffered a stroke and later died. Marine medics were called out twice on Sunday to assess one-week-old Snoozy at Portheras Cove, Cornwall. British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) said it is normal for pups to remain on dry land to conserve energy. "The mother goes out to feed so the pup looks like it has been abandoned", Dave Jarvis said. A local conservation group, the Friends of Portheras Cove, said: "This little fellow has suffered terribly by being harassed by beachgoers at Portheras who have kept forcing him back into the water." Read more on this story and other news in Cornwall. Grey seal pups spend most of their time on land at this time of year and their mothers come out of the sea to feed them, BDMLR said. The organisation said similar incidents happen across the country during pupping season, from September to February, and their advice is to leave seal pups like Snoozy alone. Mr Jarvis said: "The pup has a smell that the mother has given it so that's the way the mother detects it." "If it gets an alien smell from a dog or a human or something else touching it then the smell changes and the mother will then reject it and the pup has been abandoned."

Bamford has only played two first-team games but has caught the eye with some superb displays in the FA Youth Cup. The 18-year-old scored four goals in the last-16 win at Southampton and five in the previous round, but he has rejected two contract offers. Bamford is out of contract at the end of the season. "I'm as sad as I was with Wes (Morgan) going. That's a fact of life at this football club at this moment in time," Forest boss Cotterill told BBC Radio Nottingham. "It's tough times and I just happen to be in charge when the times have got tougher."

Chelsea have signed teenage striker Patrick Bamford from Nottingham Forest for a fee believed to be in the region of £1.5m.

They use LED (light-emitting diode) technology to measure cataracts at a molecular level. This gives clinicians a better idea of whether patients need to have surgery. About 10 million cataract removal operations are performed globally each year, and in the UK more than half of people who are over 65 have cataracts in one or both eyes. In the later stages of cataract formation, patients commonly experience cloudy vision prior to treatment. It is also a recognised complication of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Heriot-Watt has been working with Edinburgh Biosciences Ltd and experts from Edinburgh University and organisations in Sweden and Denmark to develop the LED technique. It allows clinicians to monitor a florescence signal from proteins in the eye lens and document changes during cataract formation. Prof Rory Duncan from Heriot-Watt University said: "Rather than waiting for the condition to appear, it could be possible to diagnose and monitor a cataract before it forms, allowing preventative measures to be taken where possible. 'While this stage is not a cure for cataracts, we believe it could have wide-reaching benefits such as limiting the symptoms experienced by our increasingly-ageing population and those living with diabetes. It could significantly diminish the pressure on our health service." He added: "We believe that the diagnostic also allows us to determine a patient's 'true age' as opposed to the age on their birth certificate. "The technology identifies how much oxidative damage lens proteins have accumulated through lifestyle or environmental factors. This accumulated damage may be important in determining risk factors for a number of age-related conditions." Prof Des Smith, one of the co-founders of the research, said: "This research brings us one step closer to developing a non-invasive treatment for cataracts." The team will now conduct further studies in pigs to validate the findings, demonstrate safety in humans and explore whether non-invasive treatment is feasible.

Scientists at Heriot-Watt University have developed a new way to diagnose cataracts.

Party leaders set out their vision for the next five years while campaigning across Scotland. Nicola Sturgeon marked the one-week countdown to polling day with her deputy John Swinney in South Queensferry. In the shadow of the new Forth crossing, Ms Sturgeon appealed to voters to give her a personal mandate as first minister. She said: "The SNP is the only party with the strength, unity and vision to move Scotland forward. "Our positive, ambitious plans to shape a better future for Scotland by increasing childcare, transforming the NHS and securing more and better-paid jobs are winning support across the country." Kezia Dugdale warned that not backing Labour could see a further £3bn in cuts imposed on Scotland. Visiting a nursery in Glasgow, the Scottish Labour leader said she would introduce a three-step programme to create "a fairer country for all". These include a 50p tax rate on people earning more than £150,000, investment in schools through an increase to the education budget in the next parliament, and a halt to cuts to the NHS and public services. Ms Dugdale said: "Change isn't easy, but voting for change is. A week from today, I want people to put a cross next to Labour on both their ballot papers so that we can use the powers of the Scottish Parliament to change our country for the better." Visiting a waste management plant in Dumfries, Ruth Davidson said her party could be "the strong opposition" that Scotland needs. The Scottish Conservative leader said she could "hold the SNP to account" and force the next Scottish government to focus on issues that really mattered - such as service provision, jobs and the economy. Ms Davidson said the Tories were the only party not talking about taking more money out of people's pay packets in the form of extra tax. She said she wanted to see a "competitive and fair" tax rate to encourage job creation and investment. Willie Rennie took to a quad bike in Angus while seeking to accelerate his campaign ahead of the vote on 5 May. The Scottish Lib Dem leader said his party had run a "positive, uplifting campaign" about "making Scotland the best again", which he said was broadening support. He said: "Everywhere I go, people come up to me to say how pleased they are that our party is campaigning strongly on education and that we are giving mental health the attention it has missed out on for years. "People are considering voting Liberal Democrat for the first time based on our bold and positive programme for Scotland." The 31-year-old, capped 86 times by his country, was replaced by Lee Dickson as club captain in 2015, having previously held the role for seven years. The hooker has made 229 appearances for Saints since joining them from Worcester Warriors in 2006. His old deal had been due to expire at the end of the 2017-18 season. Hartley captained Saints to Premiership and European Challenge Cup titles in 2014 but, shortly after being banned for a headbutt in 2015, was replaced in the role by Dickson. Hartley has since led England to successive Six Nations titles under head coach Eddie Jones. "Dylan has rightly received recognition as a superb captain for club and country," said Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder. "He led the team during a very successful period for us, has the respect of the rest of the squad and coaches alike, and knows what it takes to win silverware." Last season, fellow England international Tom Wood skippered the side as Saints finished seventh in England's top flight. "When Jim approached me about taking on the captaincy I was surprised," said Hartley. "The timing is right and it is certainly a challenge I want to take on. I'm very passionate about the Saints and would love to see us competing for trophies. "We have some valuable experience within the squad that will be driving the team forward this year." BBC Radio Northampton's Graham McKechnie: I think it was inevitable people might be looking beyond next year when his contract ended. If he had decided to end his career with a lucrative move to France no-one could have blamed him. But he has said in the past he wanted to see out his career at Saints and this new deal is a big vote of confidence in the club. Hartley, in the past, really has been Northampton Saints through and through and, although he has had his difficulties, he has always retained fierce loyalty of the club, and vice versa. I don't think this will have any impact on his England captaincy, but I think what the past two years has underlined is what a good club captain Hartley has been. He's a very powerful voice in the squad and there's no question that, as he has done with England, he sets high standards and expects others to do the same. During Bournemouth and Arsenal's 3-3 draw, then-Hitchin Town player Alfie Barker posted: "Big hype just for a disappointment like the nine months leading up to your child's birth." Barker, 18, admitted an FA charge at a hearing on Tuesday and is banned from all football activity until 1 August. He was also fined £250. Arter, whose side were 3-0 up against the Gunners, and partner Rachel's baby daughter Renee was stillborn in December 2015. Barker, who was sacked by Hitchin and Codicote FC, where he had been on loan, after sending the tweets, has also been warned as to his future conduct. He was charged with allegedly posting comments which were abusive and/or insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute. Barker later apologised for his "disgraceful comments" and said that he would accept any punishment given to him. Mr Trump helped create the show and starred on it until 2015, when his political career took over. But he will keep an executive producer credit when the new series, which is owned by MGM and aired by NBC, begins in January with Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, his involvement has raised questions about conflict of interest. Mr Trump will be sworn in as US president on 20 January, 18 days after the new series begins. Variety magazine, which first reported the story, said he would be paid at least "in the low five-figures" per episode. MGM declined to comment on the financial arrangements. The president-elect's spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, said: "Mr Trump has a big stake in the show and conceived of it with Mark Burnett." Some observers have questioned whether the connection will affect the reporting on Mr Trump by NBC's news division. In June 2015, NBC said it had ended its business relationship with Mr Trump because of "derogatory statements" he made about immigrants during his presidential campaign. After news of Mr Trump's continued link with the show emerged, the liberal Media Matters blog wrote: "NBC will invite scepticism into how NBC and MSNBC can fairly cover the sitting president when there is a financial incentive to protect his reputation and the ratings of the Celebrity Apprentice. "Furthermore, Trump and NBC should address the conflict of interest concerns raised by the fact advertisers may help to personally enrich President-elect Donald Trump by purchasing ads during Celebrity Apprentice." However, the new series was recorded in February, before NBC severed its ties with Mr Trump and before his election. Mr Trump's supporters have defended the president-elect, comparing his Apprentice credit to royalties received by Barack Obama from his books. An unofficial Twitter account for Republicans in Tennessee wrote: "Media freak out about Trump remaining an EP for Celebrity Apprentice. But hasn't Obama collected millions in book royalties as president?" Mr Trump is due to hold a press conference next week outlining how he plans to leave his business "in total in order to fully focus on running the country." The new series of Celebrity Apprentice features stars including singer Boy George, Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil and Jersey Shore personality Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi. On the front cover of the Irish News, a Belfast pensioner grips tightly to a photograph of her great-granddaughter who died suddenly in the city last week. The paper says 16-year-old Chloe Hutchings died of a suspected overdose and toxicology tests have been ordered. It reports that she was discovered in an apartment in Great Victoria Street, along with two unconscious men who were both taken to hospital but later released. The Belfast Telegraph describes how a grieving father held up a bag of ashes at an anti-drugs campaign launch, saying: "Look at what is left of my son." William Burns is supporting the "1 Pill Will Kill" campaign following the drugs death of his 23-year-old son, Jamie, last November. The paper says people attending the launch were "stunned" at the move but Mr Burns told the Daily Mirror he hopes his shock tactic will save lives. "I've spoken to lads about drugs and said to them 'my Jamie was a strapping 6ft, fit lad but here's how he ended up after taking one pill'. I then handed them a container with Jamie's ashes and told them that's what happened to him." The Daily Mirror leads with more details about the IRA spy code-named Stakeknife - who was alleged to be the Army's top-ranking agent inside the paramilitary group. It says the long-running case is the subject of a "sensational documentary" to be broadcast by the BBC's Panorama programme on Tuesday. The programme says security forces were warned a police informer was likely to be murdered by the IRA, but appear to have taken no action, in order to protect Stakeknife's cover. Stakeknife was named by the media in 2003 as former west Belfast resident Freddie Scappaticci, but he has consistently denied the allegations. The Army's record during the Troubles is explored elsewhere in the papers, after a coroner ruled a soldier was "unjustified" in shooting a "totally innocent" 15-year-old boy in Londonderry in 1972. Manus Derry was standing at a chip shop when he was struck in the head by a bullet that ricocheted off a wall. His sister, Helen Deery, told the Irish News her family's campaign for a new inquest had been vindicated by the ruling. "I hope other families will persist in justice and persist in truth and know it can be done," she said. However, the News Letter leads with a report about a protest rally in support of military veterans who are facing criminal proceedings over their actions during the Troubles. It says a dissident republican group has been granted to permission to hold a counter-protest march on the same day in Belfast city centre. The paper quotes one of the organisers of the veteran's march, who says those attending should behave in a peaceful manner and "not react to any provocation". At Stormont, the "paw-litical" crisis we all thought was resolved rumbled on over the weekend. The Belfast Telegraph stepped in last week when two pensioners who regularly feed cats at the government building were prevented from doing their good deed, which was deemed to be a security risk. It was thought the issue had been sorted out, until 76-year-old Edna Watters was again stopped from driving up the hill at the weekend to feed Furby, Maggie and Ginger - dubbed the Stormont Three. The paper's editorial reflects on how Stormont's top dogs may have struggled to get their teeth into serious security problems such as dissident republican gun attacks and loyalist drug dealing over the years. Yet, it notes, the folks on the hill have decided to "bring the full force of the state down on a harmless elderly lady". Supporters of the Stormont Three will be pleased to know that after further talks, and some sausage rolls for the security staff, a comprehensive deal has been reached. Northern Ireland has produced a few, but not many, truly global star turns so the imminent wedding of golfer Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll has caused a flurry of excitement in all the papers. The Irish News and others speculate that the venue for the big day will be Ashford Castle in County Mayo, with the Belfast Telegraph "exclusively" revealing that the date will be Saturday 22 April. All that is missing from the fairytale ending is that elusive green jacket - the customary outfit of golf's Master's champions and the only major tournament McIlroy has not (yet) won. "Its a great time in my life and it would have been nice to walk down the aisle in the green jacket," the groom said. Not even superstars can get everything they want. What does Ian Woosnam have to do to gain recognition from the Florida-based organisation? The Welshman was not on the list announced for the 'Class of 2015' inductees and it seems his name wasn't even considered. At a meeting in Augusta last week the committee chose Davies, Mark O'Meara, David Graham and the legendary architect AW Tillinghast for Hall of Fame status. They were picking from a shortlist that didn't include Woosnam's name. This is despite the diminutive Welshman being a former world number one from a fine era in the game's history. Woosnam has only the one major title - the 1991 Masters - but is among golf's most prolific winners. In his pomp he was beating the likes of Seve Ballesteros, Greg Norman, Sir Nick Faldo and Sandy Lyle. Quite rightly all of that illustrious quartet are in the Hall of Fame, as is Colin Montgomerie, who has no majors but eight European Tour Orders of Merit. Woosnam won the Dutch Seniors Open earlier this month. It took the 56-year-old's tally of career victories to a handsome 51. A genuinely global player, he's triumphed from Augusta to Australia, from Singapore to Scandinavia and many points in between. He is also a winning Ryder Cup captain after his European team won by a record-equalling 18½ to 9½ points in 2006. Woosnam must be genuinely puzzled that he has been overlooked yet again. Graham won 38 professional titles and O'Meara has 34 to his name. Yes, each won two majors but in terms of longevity and impact on the game Woosnam beats both of them. The image of his celebratory fist pump after holing the winning putt at the Masters endures to this day. It was emblematic of a glorious period for European golf and was one of the most popular wins in the tournament's history. "Woosie", as he's universally known, has often had the knack of making headlines. Who could forget his despair at discovering the extra driver in his bag at the 2001 Open at Lytham? His caddie's error cost him a two-stroke penalty as he led the championship at the start of the final day. Somehow he remained composed enough to finish tied third behind David Duval. And the current oversight isn't just a case of Woosnam being denied due recognition for his superb career. There are golfing implications as well. Hall of Fame membership provides entitlement to play the American Champions Tour. The Oswestry-born Welshman remains a fine player, as his recent Dutch win shows. If eligible Hall of Famers enjoy unbridled access to the lucrative US circuit, it is wrong that he has been denied a straight pass to the highest level of seniors golf. His playing achievements should have long since been enough to allow him to avoid attending seniors' tour school. Aside from Woosnam's Masters victory he was runner up at the 1989 US Open and twice came third in the Open. Indeed, the fact that such a career has so far been ignored by the Hall of Fame provides reason to call into question the validity of this automatic exemption for the Champions Tour. These commemorative organisations shouldn't be a source of playing rights. Their role is to promote and preserve the history of the game. And, in this regard, it's not all about results and achievements. Montgomerie is a perfect example; he didn't win a major but has left an indelible mark on the game. A hundred years from now, students of golf will want to know about the Scot, one of the most famous figures of this era. It is, after all, a hall of "Fame". The same applies when they consider the impact of Laura Davies or the 265 courses designed by Tillinghast. Those historians should also be pointed in the direction of a little Welshman who's supreme ball-striking overcame a debilitating back condition to conquer the world in the 1980s and '90s. Woosnam is one of the game's great competitors, a man of charisma and achievement. It is more than an injustice if he continues to be overlooked. Cwmcarn Forest Drive in Caerphilly county closed to cars in 2014 as contractors cut down thousands of larch trees to prevent the spread of disease. Natural Resources Wales, which is replanting 170,000 trees, can only reopen if it is "managed differently". The Welsh Government acknowledged the concerns. But officials said it "made sense" to await the results of a feasibility study due to be commissioned. About 860 hectares (2,125 acres) of the site was covered with larch trees, which, like many across Europe, had succumbed to dieback disease, Phytophthora ramorum. Contractors are half way through the felling operation to remove the affected trees to stop the spread of the disease, but will continue to cut down larch in other areas until 2020. Special machinery and zip-lines have had to be employed to remove the trees from a challenging terrain. Work is now underway to plant 170,000 new trees to replace those felled since 2014. A mixture of species including oak, pine and conifers will replace the larch there were at Cwmcarn Forest Drive. A mix of oak, pine and conifer species are now being planted in their place. It is hoped different species, grown from seeds taken from the wider area, might be more resistant to climate change and other diseases. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said, while walking and mountain biking trails have re-opened, it does not have the budget to do the same with the area's scenic drive. When it was last open, motorists were charged a fee to use the seven mile (11km) route with stunning views of the valley, but it ran at a loss and has remained closed since felling began in 2014. Sally Tansey, from NRW, said a feasibility study to be commissioned this summer would look at how the wider area might be managed differently to bring in more money, which could subsidise the drive. "For the first time we're actually looking in an open-book way at the assets that we've got, the assets that Caerphilly County Borough Council have got - they've got the visitor centre and camping sites, we've got the forest drive," she said. "It's the first time we've looked at whether someone could make better use of those assets if somebody was to manage them all together." Rob Southall, chairman of the Friends of Cwmcarn Forest Drive campaign group, said, while he understood NRW's financial position, the drive was important for older and disabled people to enjoy the "gorgeous scenery". More than 750 people have signed an online petition and a further 300 on a paper petition calling for it to reopen by Easter 2018. "A thousand people have put themselves forward to say 'we would like this open to the public' so let's get the Welsh Government to actually do something about it," he said. A Welsh Government spokesman said management of the forest drive was a decision for Natural Resources Wales. "We appreciate the local community's concerns but believe it makes sense to wait for the outcome of the work that NRW and Caerphilly CBC are undertaking," he added. Memphis, starring Beverley Knight, has nine nominations, while Beautiful, with Katie Brayben as King, has eight. Mark Strong and Richard Armitage are up for best actor for their roles in Arthur Miller plays A View from the Bridge and The Crucible respectively. Strong said he was "thrilled" to be nominated "in a year of such extraordinary performances". The Oliviers take place at the Royal Opera House in London on 12 April. The nominations were announced at an event in London on Monday by James McAvoy and Lesley Manville. McAvoy said he was "dead excited" to be nominated for best actor for his role in Peter Barnes' 1968 play The Ruling Class at Trafalgar Studios, and "also relieved". "Reading out a list of names in a year I was under consideration would have been a bit embarrassing if I wasn't on it," he told the BBC. Elsewhere in the acting categories, Dame Angela Lansbury is up for best supporting actress for her role in Blithe Spirit. Gemma Arterton, meanwhile, is up for best actress in a musical for her first on-stage singing role in Made in Dagenham. The show is to close at the Adelphi theatre on 11 April after a West End run of six months. Made in Dagenham failed to make the best new musical category, which sees Memphis and Beautiful face competition from the Kinks-inspired Sunny Afternoon and Here Lies Love. Based on the life of Imelda Marcos, David Byrne and Fatboy Slim's musical transformed the National Theatre's Dorfman stage into a nightclub. Here Lies Love is the only National Theatre show to make a dent at this year's Oliviers, having also been nominated for best choreography and for outstanding achievement in music. Theatre industry expert Terri Paddock said it was a "very strong" year for new musicals. "I'm sure Made in Dagenham and Urinetown will feel a bit snubbed," she told the BBC. "There have been so many new musicals in London in this past year, it's difficult to fit them all into the shortlist where they rightly belong." New works focusing on different aspects of British royalty - King Charles III and the Royal Shakespeare Company's adaptations of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies - are among those shortlisted for best new play. The list in completed by 'dark net' thriller The Nether and Taken at Midnight, which stars best actress nominee Penelope Wilton as the mother of a young German lawyer imprisoned by the Nazis. All of the works up for the new play award originated in subsidised theatres before transferring to the West End. "Producing a new play is a risky undertaking," said Paddock. "So very often commercial producers will take their new plays to those new venues to nurture them and then hopefully take them on." King Charles III, Mike Bartlett's blank verse vision of a future monarchy, has six nominations in total, including actor and director nods for Tim Pigott-Smith and Rupert Goold. Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, the RSC's theatrical versions of Hilary Mantel's historical novels, have five nominations, having been considered by organisers to be a single entity. Joining Wilton on the best actress shortlist are Gillian Anderson for A Streetcar Named Desire, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas for Electra, and Imelda Staunton for Good People. London's Young Vic theatre has a total of 11 nominations - the most for a single venue - for its productions of A View from the Bridge, The Scottsboro Boys, Bull and A Streetcar Named Desire. The theatre's executive director, Lucy Woollatt, said: "It's only because of the Arts Council and our donors that we can take these risks." The best director field includes the Donmar Warehouse's artistic director Josie Rourke for City of Angels. "It's a big deal for me to be nominated because it's my first musical," she told the BBC. "That's probably the best validation I could get." The nominees for the best musical revival award are Cats, City of Angels, Miss Saigon and the Gershwins' Porgy and Bess. Former Cats star Nicole Scherzinger earns a nod for best supporting actress in a musical for her first major theatrical role, while Jon Jon Briones is among the best actor in a musical nominees for his role as The Engineer in Miss Saigon. Briones said he felt "numb" that "this kid from the slums of Quezon City in the Philippines" had been nominated for an Olivier. The Play That Goes Wrong, Handbagged and Shakespeare in Love are the three productions vying for best new comedy. The shortlist for the This Morning audience award, the only category voted for by the public, features Billy Elliot, Matilda, Jersey Boys and Wicked. Voting closes on 10 April at 1700 BST. In the dance categories, Sadler's Wells and the Barbican receive four and two nominations each. The best new opera nominees include the English National Opera's Benvenuto Cellini, directed by Monty Python's Terry Gilliam. As previously announced, Kevin Spacey will be presented with a special award for his outstanding contribution to the Old Vic. The Oscar-winning actor became the theatre's artistic director in 2004 and steps down later this year. The Olivier awards ceremony on 12 April will be followed by a highlights programme on ITV later that evening. The full list of nominations is on the Oliviers website. Brooks played scientist Dr Rudy Wells in the 1970s TV series, as well as roles in The Bionic Woman and Dallas. Jon Landau, a film producer and friend of Brooks, said he died of natural causes in Los Angeles. "Marty was the eternal optimist. He only looked at the good things in life," said Landau, the producer of Titanic and Avatar. Brooks' other credits included The Philco Television Playhouse in the 1950s, Combat! in the 1960s and Knots Landing in the 1990s. He also played Dr Arthur Bradshaw on the ABC daytime serial General Hospital. Landau said Brooks was proud of his stage work that included An Enemy of the People and I Am a Camera. It said it would co-operate with any police inquiry. Calls for a police investigation were made following the discovery of an Isle of Man bank account controlled by Ian Coulter, a former managing partner of Belfast law firm Tughans. The firm did some of the work that saw Cerberus Capital Management buy the portfolio for £1.3bn. Mr Coulter left Tughans in January after it found out and retrieved the cash. In its statement the Law Society said: "In January 2015, following a self-report made by Tughans, the Law Society commenced an inquiry into the circumstances which led to the resignation of Ian Coulter from Tughans. "The Law Society has satisfied itself that any funds in question are secure whilst the investigation is ongoing." The Law Society said it did not have a "wider remit to investigate individuals who are not solicitors". It said that while Mr Coulter was no longer practising, he remained on the roll of solicitors in Northern Ireland and therefore was still subject to its regulations. Claims were made in the Irish parliament (Dáil) last week that £7m had been "reportedly earmarked" for a Northern Ireland politician. The Law Society said it "calls for independent TD Mick Wallace or any other person with relevant information, to make available to the PSNI and Garda Siochana all information or evidence he has to substantiate the new and serious allegations made by him in the Dáil". It said it would "co-operate with any police investigation into these new and serious allegations which are beyond the remit" of its powers. "Upon conclusion of its inquiry, the Law Society shall take such action as is appropriate which may include referral to the independent Solicitors' Disciplinary Tribunal empowered to impose financial penalties and/or striking off solicitors from the roll of solicitors," it said. The National Asset Management Agency (Nama) is the Republic of Ireland's "bad bank". It was set up to deal with toxic property loans on the books of bailed-out banks, following the 2008 property crash. The Law Society is the professional body that represents and regulates all solicitors practising in Northern Ireland. Established in 1922, it is the regulatory authority governing the education, accounts, discipline and professional conduct of more than 2,300 solicitors. It is legally required to fulfil these functions to "maintain the independence, ethical standards, professional competence and quality of services offered to the public". It launched an inquiry into the circumstances of Ian Coulter's departure from Belfast law firm Tughans after being contacted by the company in January. In a statement last week, Tughans confirmed that it had reported the issue to the Law Society and was co-operating fully with the inquiry. Until Tuesday, the Law Society itself had declined to confirm or deny that an inquiry was taking place, stating that it "does not comment on whether or not there is any investigation ongoing in relation to any particular matter or firm". That all changed shortly after 17.30 BST on Tuesday when it issued a statement confirming that it has been conducting an investigation. The statement also said the Law Society will co-operate with any police investigation into "these new and serious allegations which are beyond the remit of the Law Society's powers". John Arthur Jones, 64, of Bodffordd, Anglesey, had denied 13 charges of endangering aircraft between November 2013 and September 2014. The alleged offences happened as planes landed at the island's Mona air strip. Judge Geraint Walters halted the case at Mold Crown Court and a provisional date of June 2016 was set for Mr Jones' trial to start afresh. Alec Cook, 20, was first charged with sexually assaulting a woman in his apartment earlier this month. Dozens of women have since come forward to accuse him of sexual assault after a photo of Mr Cook circulated online. Police found a black book in Mr Cook's apartment describing his sexual desires and the names of women he had met. He was charged last week with sexually assaulting a woman in his apartment on the night of 12 October after the two had studied together. She said Mr Cook maintained "a death grip" on her body during a two-hour attack. Prosecutors filed a complaint against him on Thursday alleging he assaulted another woman multiple times during a ballroom dancing class last spring. I woke in a stranger's bed, says university rape victim Will Stanford sexual assault case silence future victims? Fraternity culture and college rape The complaint also alleged Mr Cook assaulted a woman at a party in March 2015; a woman he met in a human sexuality class in February; and another woman he met during a psychology class experiment in August. He faces seven counts of second-degree sexual assault, three of third-degree sexual assault, two charges of strangulation, two counts of false imprisonment and one of fourth-degree sexual assault. Mr Cook's attorneys, Jessa Nicholson and Chris Van Wagner, said they will argue the ballroom assault never occurred and contend the other incidents were consensual. The woman who accused Mr Cook of the ballroom assault said he repeatedly touched her breasts and buttocks while they were dancing. She said this occurred 15 to 20 times over the semester. The class instructor told police she had received an email from the woman saying she was uncomfortable with how Mr Cook touched her. She added that no other students had complained about him. Mr Cook, of Edina, Minnesota, told authorities the woman never told him to stop, according to the criminal complaint. His bail was set at $200,000 (£164,000) during a brief hearing on Thursday. He made no statement at the hearing. Mr Cook has been suspended by the university and banned from campus. Emmanuel opened the scoring in the 29th minute when he fired home at the second attempt after goalkeeper Lee Worgan had saved his initial shot. And it was 2-0 10 minutes into the second half when the home defence failed to deal with Ross Lafayette's cross from the right and Emmanuel pounced to drill home from an acute angle. Maidstone got themselves back into the game after 61 minutes when Vas Karagiannis converted from close range but Dover restored their two-goal advantage when Richard Orlu played in Lafayette and he made no mistake in firing across Worgan into the net. Ricky Miller then wrapped up victory in stoppage time when Lafayette's ball sent him clear to slot home. Report supplied by the Press Association. Match ends, Maidstone United 1, Dover Athletic 4.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up. Rebel Rover was being trained in chest-high water at Sandgate beach when he unseated his rider and headed deeper. The five-year-old gelding was picked up by the Brisbane Water Police and a marine rescue unit. "He was in about four metres of water and he was swimming quite freely," said Volunteer Marine Rescue's Glen Philip. Rebel Rover, with a track record of misdemeanours, has only recently made a comeback after being banned for misbehaving in the stalls. Trainer Brad Smith told ABC News that horses could swim, but did not normally do so very much. "Any other horse, 20 minutes would probably see them out, but this horse - he must have a pretty amazing lung capacity," he said. "The vet looked at him yesterday and again this morning and he's pretty well amazed with how he's coped with it all. Brisbane's Courier Mail reports he still had enough energy to head butt one of his support team, knocking them unconscious and putting them in hospital. Rebel Rover has won three of his 12 races. The idea of "biodiversity offsetting" is controversial, with some campaigners dubbing it a "licence to trash". It means developers planning to build houses in environmentally sensitive areas would be allowed to go ahead if they could offset damage by paying for conservation activities elsewhere. The environment department Defra has published a green paper on the scheme. "Offsetting is an exciting opportunity to look at how we can improve the environment as well as grow the economy," said environment secretary Owen Paterson. Commenting on the consultation, which will conclude on 7 November, he said: "We want to hear from developer and wildlife groups alike on how we can simplify the existing planning process while enhancing our natural environment. "There is no reason why wildlife and development can't flourish side by side." In England, six pilot areas were selected in 2012 for two year trials of a voluntary approach to offsetting through the planning system. In March this year, a report from the government's Ecosystems Markets Task Force recommended that the offsetting scheme should be rolled out nationwide as a matter of priority. Offsetting, it said, would "revolutionise conservation in England by delivering restoration, creation and long term management on in excess of 300,000 hectares of habitat over 20 years". Similar schemes have been up and running for many years in other parts of the world. But environmental groups have highlighted problems with the idea. The Woodland Trust has campaigned against the inclusion of ancient woodlands in any offsetting scheme and it rejects the suggestion that the future of these habitats should rest on the proposed economic benefit of a given development. The Trust's chief executive Sue Holden said she welcomed the fact this green paper recognised the "irreplaceable" nature of these woodlands. But she added: "We need to see a more robust use of planning law to support this, ensuring that irreplaceable habitats are treated as such. "Offsetting should only ever be a last resort when all other avenues have been explored to avoid loss or damage. "It is critical that any habitats created to compensate for loss are placed within the local area that suffered the original impact. Unfortunately, this still appears open to debate." The Trust says that, in theory, losses to biodiversity in Kent, for example, could be compensated for in Derbyshire - ignoring the local value of habitats. Meanwhile, Friends of the Earth described the plans as a licence to "trash nature". FOE's nature campaigner Sandra Bell said that nature was "not something that can be bulldozed in one place and recreated in another at the whim of a developer. "Instead of putting nature up for sale, the government should strengthen its protection through the planning system and set out bold plans to safeguard and restore wildlife across the UK." Some critics also suggest that developers could be tempted to put money on the table to pay for offsetting and not feel obliged to go through the preliminary steps of trying to avoid damage. Supporters say that despite potential difficulties, the overall concept is sound. They point to the fact that money received from developers for relatively minor damage could be pooled to create a much larger conservation area. Mike Clarke, chief executive of the RSPB, also said offsetting should only be considered when other options have been exhausted. He said: "If government want to get this right, they will have to listen very carefully to the conservation community and heed our warnings. "They will also need to ensure that planning authorities have the expertise to assess proposals for offsetting, otherwise, it will go horribly wrong for wildlife." Paul.Rincon-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter She is just one of many thousands of teachers in England said to be burning the professional candle at both ends. According to the Education Policy Institute, most full-time teachers work an average of 48.2 hours per week. But one in five works 60 hours or more - 12 hours above the limit set by the European working time directive. A teacher for eight years, Megan feels well supported by her school in north London and considers herself one of the lucky ones. She says she would love to commit to the job for the rest of her working life, but is not sure it is sustainable. "Between the hours of 09:00 and 15:30 I am in my absolute element," she says. But she says coping with government changes in assessment and accountability, and, as she sees it, with national tests set at too high a level for some of her children, she sometimes doubts whether she can continue in the job she loves. "It's unmanageable for lots of new teachers coming into the profession in terms of what's expected of them. "There are so many people coming into the job who are committed and really want to make a difference but it can be demoralising and often teachers are exhausted," she says. The report, based on data collected in the OECD's Teaching and Learning International Survey between 2012 and 2014 - which compares the practices of teachers in secondary schools in 36 jurisdictions - finds teachers in England work longer hours than their counterparts in all but two of these states. This extra time, however, does not equate to increased teaching time, rather it is spent marking work and carrying out administrative tasks. Conversely, the survey found England's teachers near the bottom of the international table for continuing professional development. Workload was found to be a significant barrier to accessing this up-to-date training on the latest teaching methods and material. The report found despite working longer hours early on in their careers, new teachers could expect to earn a wage 16% lower than the OECD average. EPI said its findings raised concerns not only for professional development and teaching quality, but also for the wellbeing of teachers themselves. It adds: "With pupil numbers in secondary schools set to increase, it is unlikely that teaching timetables can be reduced if teacher numbers do not keep pace and there is not an increase in class sizes." Chairman of EPI, David Laws, said: "This analysis highlights that the English education system is unusual internationally in its long working hours for teachers, low levels of professional development, and what looks like a high burnout rate of teachers. "Combined with relatively low starting pay for teachers in England, these three features of our school system have clear risks for recruiting, retaining and developing a high quality teacher workforce." The Department for Education said it recognised teachers' concerns and is continuing to work with them to find constructive solutions. "Teaching remains an attractive career and we have more teachers entering our classrooms than those choosing to leave or retire. "Teacher retention has been broadly stable for 20 years and the annual average salaries for teachers in the UK are also greater than the OECD average, and higher than many of Europe's high-performing education systems like Finland, Norway or Sweden." Teacher Anita Smith moved to a primary school hoping to lessen the work load, which it did slightly, "only because my job role has completely changed". Many of her primary school colleagues tallied up their total hours to almost 60 hours a week. "I don't think primary school teachers have it any easier," she said. An average day for a teacher, according to Ms Smith, is getting in between 07:30 and 8:00 BST and not leaving before 17:00 or 17:30 if you have a "lucky" day or are going to an appointment. What you do not do in school you take home, and the same over the weekend. You clock up four to six hours after work, she said. She said: "We take professional pride in our work, we want to plan great lessons, we want to give great feedback, meaningful feedback to help our students make great progress." Deciding between going to the toilet during break or finishing off work before the schoolchildren come back after lunchtime is a choice for every teacher daily, Ms Smith said. When asked about the 12 weeks of holiday, she told BBC Radio 5 live that teachers completely understand that the long holidays are a pay off for the long hours. But she said the "extreme" hours during term time were causing people to burn out physically and mentally. Head teachers have a "duty" to make sure their staff have got an acceptable work life balance. She said work life balance during term time "simply does not exist." The school, in Leeds, Ms Smith works at opens during the holidays because teachers come in and get work done "not for them, but to make sure the kids are making progress and are having the best opportunities in the classroom they possibly can to learn." Dr Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, said: "Most worrying is the fact that teachers' professional development is being cut, at a time when there is massive change in the curriculum, its assessment and qualifications. "Teachers want to do the best they can for their pupils, but they are being held back by 'busy work' and a lack of training and development which would enable them to meet the challenge of change which, for many, is overwhelming." Kevin Courtney, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: "Teaching has always been a long-hours profession, but hours spent preparing exciting lessons are very different to hours spent providing evidence for bureaucrats. "The fact that teachers are working 60 hours a week is totally unacceptable and is exacerbating the teacher shortage." Trott hit 118 from 135 balls as the visitors made 283-6 from 50 overs. A brief rain delay reduced the target to 282 from 49 overs, but Yorkshire never looked like reaching the total. Ateeq Javid took 4-42 as the hosts were all out for 167, with Travis Head (53) the only batsman to make 50. Trott's century, the former England batsman's second in four One-Day Cup innings this season, took him to 288 runs in the competition to add to his 826 runs in first-class cricket. Laurie Evans made 48 from 30 deliveries, while Rikki Clarke plundered 18 off nine before being given out caught on the long-off boundary, while spinner Jeetan Patel claimed 3-34 as Warwickshire finished second in the North Group to earn a home quarter-final. Yorkshire, leaders at the start of the day, dropped to third after losing their second One-Day Cup game in two days and face an away trip in the last eight. Bears director of cricket Dougie Brown told BBC WM: "In the last few weeks we have been criticised quite a lot, and rightly so, for not getting ourselves over the line in games. "We have been putting in some big individual performances without the supporting efforts that you need to win games. "But this was a really good, complete, all-round performance, an outstanding team effort. "Trotty's innings was world-class and then we had late cameos from Laurie and Rikki that just supplied that late impetus that you need." John Harbinson, 42, of Benfleet, Essex, appeared before Westminster Magistrates' Court charged with conspiracy to burgle. The contents of 56 safe deposit boxes were taken from the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd over Easter weekend. Eight other men aged 48 to 76 appeared in court on Thursday charged with conspiracy to burgle. Mr Harbinson, a taxi driver and father-of-three, is next due to appear at Southwark Crown Court on 4 June with the other men. They have all been remanded in custody until their next court appearance. Those who were previously charged are: They were arrested after police raided 12 properties in London and Kent on Tuesday. Brian Reader and Paul Reader - who is also known as Brian - are believed to be father and son. At their court hearing on Thursday, the prosecution said that while the total value of the goods stolen was not yet known, it ran "in excess of £10m" and 73 safe deposit boxes in total had been opened. Heavy cutting equipment was used to break into a vault at the building in London's jewellery quarter. The Met's Flying Squad has also apologised after it emerged a security firm's call about an intruder alert at the premises shortly after midnight on Good Friday was deemed not to require a response. He started the project after growing frustrated about the number of options and amount of recorded information on call centre menus. Mr Clarke discovered that some automated menus have nearly 80 options. It can take over four minutes to get to the service required if the caller listens to each stage in full, he said. As an example, speaking to an adviser at HM Revenue and Customs only required pressing four buttons but it could take six minutes to get through each menu level, Mr Clarke said. HMRC said it was working on improvements to the service. "HMRC is looking at ways to improve its interactive voice responses and is getting ready for the introduction of new speech recognition technology," said a spokesman. "This technology will react to what the caller says instead of asking them to select an option by pushing a button on their phone. HMRC plan to introduce these improvements later this year." Mr Clarke said the website pleasepress1.com was a "labour of love" which he built after seven years of creating post-it notes of sequences he used regularly. He used Skype and recording software to make thousands of calls, with the bulk of the work being carried out in the last six months. Reporting a water leak to Lloyds TSB's home insurance department requires dialling a total of seven numbers, one at each stage of the call (1, 3, 2, 1, 1, 5, 4), and it takes more than four minutes to navigate the 78 menu options, according to the website. "The companies have these systems in place for a reason," said Mr Clarke. "I'm not against the system, but I am against bad design." In an ideal world, he said, companies should just offer different phone numbers for different services. "No menu is best - but if it is a necessity then design it properly. I think two levels maximum is ideal. Some stretch to three. You don't really want much more than that." Mr Clarke said he was inspired to build the website after being surprised by the "emotional response" he got from people whenever he mentioned it. He says he doesn't intend to devote himself full-time to maintaining it. "I'd like the companies themselves to say, 'we care about our customers, we'll publish our menus'," he said. When tested by the BBC, some of the sequences did not seem to result in significant time savings, while others ended with the user being transferred straight to a customer adviser rather than going through each level of the automated system. Canadian Virginia Bennett, who lives in one of the residential apartments facing the River Thames, was getting ready to take her dog Abby for a walk when the morning calm was shattered by "the noise of metal crashing". She said: "It sounded like a big car crash. We are not on the roadside so that didn't make sense. "I opened the curtain and saw what appeared [to be] big pieces [of] metal falling. "I went out to the living room and looked out and could see the black smoke. Then my husband and I realised that the top of the crane was gone." By the time Mrs Bennett came down people in neighbouring buildings were being evacuated amid reports that a helicopter had hit a crane. A police road block had already been put up and she witnessed debris "falling into the river". Among the 30 or so people waiting outside the shiny riverside buildings at St George Wharf in the bitter cold were students Hiam Aldroubi, 22, and Reem Binkhamis, 25. Miss Aldroubi, a medical student at St George's Hospital, said she was in a deep sleep and was woken by her parents who were calling from abroad after watching the news. She said: "They asked me to take a taxi and go to the airport. There were also messages from my professors and students asking if I was OK. "I ran down in my pyjamas and asked what happened. In my head I remembered the Bond film Skyfall when MI6 explodes and I thought 'oh my god'. "In my head I thought they were aiming for MI6. Why would a helicopter fall out of nowhere?" Her neighbour Miss Binkhamis, who is studying biology at Imperial College, was woken by a sound at 08:00 GMT. She said: "[I] thought the chairs on the balcony had fallen down. "All [my] neighbours were in the balcony. The noise was loud. An antenna had slammed by the building and fallen down near Jellicoe House. "My balcony is full of glass." Vanessa Ten-Hoedt, 32, who lives in Kestrel House, had to flee the building with four-week-old baby Matthew. She said: "I was coincidentally looking out of the window and we saw the crane fall and collapse on Nine Elms Road. "It was a large crane piece which fell down near a car. Shortly after we saw black smoke and we heard an explosion. It sounded like a bomb went off. We saw some debris as we left the building. "The building was shaking. It was very scary as we didn't know what was going on. "It was very stressful to evacuate with a four-week-old." Hundreds of people in five residential buildings in St George Wharf were evacuated, as were workers who were in the tower where the helicopter crashed into. Gregory Francis, 38, who was waiting in a coffee shop near his home with his toddler and wife, said it was not unusual to see helicopters close to the buildings as many head to a heliport in nearby Battersea. "Just last week my wife said that one was flying quite low and close to the buildings," he said. Kate Hoey, Labour MP for Vauxhall, said there was no reason why there should not be a debate about why so many helicopters are allowed to fly over central London. Mr James, who turns 31 later this month, has been with Nike since 2003 when he signed a $90m (£59.7m) contract with the firm. The sports star's latest deal is believed to be the first lifetime contract ever signed by Nike. No financial terms around the deal have been released so far. However, early reports suggested it would be more than the $300m 10-year contract Nike signed with basketball star Kevin Durant - an Oklahoma City Thunder player. Mr James is a four-time National Basketball Association (NBA) most-valuable player and has won two Olympic gold medals. He played for the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2003 to 2010 before moving to Miami Heat for some four years. In July 2014 he returned to the Cavaliers. Nike said it had agreed to a lifetime relationship with Mr James "that provides significant value to our business, brand and shareholders." "We have already built a strong LeBron business over the past 12 years, and we see the potential for this to continue to grow throughout his playing career and beyond," the sporting giant said. Speaking to reporters on Monday after the deal had been announced, Mr James said, "I'm very humble, man." "It's been an unbelievable time for myself and my family, and I'm just grateful that Nike and [Nike founder] Phil Knight, and everyone over there, just believed in a skinny old, skinny 18-year-old kid from Akron, Ohio, and I'm happy to be a part of such a great company," he said. In addition to playing professional basketball, Mr James has his own shoe line with Nike as well as a production company. He also has deals with McDonalds, Coca-Cola and Samsung among other companies. Piers Corbyn took part in the demonstration at Lilian Baylis School in Oval, but insists he did not behave inappropriately. The school was hosting a meeting of Lambeth Council's Labour cabinet on Monday night. The regeneration of council houses in the borough was being discussed. Councillors said the disruption of the public meeting amounted to "bullying anger that has not been seen in years". One told me Mr Corbyn was "chanting and shouting" and "having a wail of a time." Piers Corbyn told the BBC he was "there for part of the meeting" and there was "screaming and shouting" but he personally sought to make his points by talking to people, rather than shouting. One political source in the borough said the meeting was hijacked by a "ragbag bunch of lefties", including members of the Communist Party and Momentum, the group that was set up to help Jeremy Corbyn become Labour's leader. I've seen a letter sent by one of those who attended, to the chairman of the local constituency Labour Party. In it, the councillor says there was "so much shouting and jeering the meeting was impossible", and added protesters "sat at the edge of the tiered seating began kicking the steel frame/wall in a backwards motion. I thought it was going to collapse." "It is completely, utterly unacceptable for there to be the kicking of school property like that," the councillor adds. Another told me it amounted to the "vitriolic sabotage" of a meeting of elected representatives and chants of "liar, liar" and "corrupt, corrupt" were shouted at both councillors and civil servants. A video of part of the meeting has been posted on YouTube and shows protesters shouting "shame on you" and "out, out out" before the meeting is suspended. Mr Corbyn was later pictured with his fists clenched and smiling. The photo - posted on the Twitter feed of the Class War group - included the caption: "@jeremycorbyn's brother Piers with @classwar2015 in the pub after disrupting Lambeth council meeting last night." Piers Corbyn told me he wanted to be there because "treacherous Blairite councillors are in bed with developers" in the borough and it had to be stopped. "There is lots of anger about the demolition of local council housing," Mr Corbyn said, but he insisted "nothing violent or bad went on." "People are livid, the councillors are a disgrace to democracy," he added. Asked about the alleged abuse of school property, Mr Corbyn laughed. "It was just the hitting of a piece of scaffolding, that's all," he said. There's been no response yet from Jeremy Corbyn's office. A source said "he doesn't comment on anything to do with his family". The Tiger's Bay man is in the US for this weekend's WBA featherweight world title rematch with Mexican Leo Santa Cruz. One of the perks at Frampton's hotel is a 24-hour butler service. However, while you can take the man out of north Belfast, you can't take north Belfast out of the man. Frampton: I have psychological edge over Santa Cruz "I haven't used the butler, there's a butler there if I need a butler, but I'm never going to call a butler to do anything," Frampton said. "When someone says you've got a butler on hand 24/7, it's a bit strange, but I'm all right, I can do my own thing." The champion joked that his wife Christine, who is from Belfast's Poleglass area, might be more familiar with butler service. "She'll be all right, coming from Poleglass, I think they have butlers in Poleglass," he said. "I think she's a bit like me, she'd be afraid to make use of a butler's services." Frampton, 29, claimed the Mexican's title in a thrilling fight in New York last July. While anticipation for Saturday night's rematch is reaching fever pitch - with thousands of fans arriving in Vegas from Northern Ireland - Frampton is remaining calm. "We've been here for a month, so we've had a few days to do the touristy stuff- obviously minus the booze. But it's been all right, I've been enjoying myself, relaxing as well," he said. "I'm relaxed at the minute, I'm not in game mode yet. I'll get more focussed as the fight approaches, after the weigh-in and stuff I'll start to zone in. "Even on fight day, it's when I'm walking to the arena, that's when I start to get switched on." Frampton's points victory in July was the first defeat of Santa Cruz's career, with several publications including Ring Magazine and ESPN naming Frampton as the fighter of 2016. However, Frampton said he's uncomfortable with suggestions that he could become a sporting superstar. "It's a big deal, it really is, [but] I don't like words like that, superstar. I think that in terms of being a boxer, I'm very good," he said. "I think the fan base that we have at the minute, I don't think there's another fighter in the world that has a fan base like this." While he can't wait to get into the ring, Frampton said there was one thing he is looking forward to even more. "I'm excited about getting home, that's the most important thing," he said. "Obviously I want to win this fight, but my family's the most important thing and I haven't seen the kids in a long time. "I can't wait to see the missus tonight." Snowboarder Jones, 34, won Britain's first and only Olympic medal on snow at Sochi 2014 in the slopestyle final. Olympic snowboarders Jamie Nicholls, Aimee Fuller and Billy Morgan compete.

"At post-16, these schools are comprehensive in name only," said researcher Sol Gamsu. The research describes a concentration of elite schools in the South East. The paper, to be presented to an RGS international conference later this month, maps the number of pupils sent to Oxford and Cambridge by different types of school from different regions. It has long been known that students from schools in London and the South East are disproportionately overrepresented at both Oxford and Cambridge, says the study. Using Department for Education data, it identifies the extent that access to England's two top universities varies between regions. Overall, considering both state and private schools together: But other regions of England are underrepresented: When the figures were broken down further, according to school type, the study found state schools in the South East sent 1.43 times more students than the national average to Oxford and Cambridge, In outer London, the figure is 1.24 times as many. But private schools in regions including Yorkshire and Humber, the East Midlands and the North East sent about half as many as the national average, the study found. Some Oxbridge "feeder schools" send up to 30% of their intake to the two universities, say the researchers. "These are still largely the elite of the private sector, but this list also includes what have basically become elite sixth-form colleges," said Mr Gamsu. Mr Gamsu said London gentrification and selective sixth forms had contributed to the rise of "super-state" schools. "The capital's rapid economic and social change lies behind the rise of these schools," he said. "London's housing market has resulted in the price of accessing sought-after comprehensives in gentrified neighbourhoods rising beyond the means of many less affluent residents." A report earlier this year by London Councils said that last year 64,953 young Londoners had progressed to higher education, up 4% on the previous year. "While this is good news, more still needs to be done to ensure everyone can make the journey from school or college to higher education," that report added. At this ragged cluster of tents in the Bekaa Valley, they weren't waiting for a school bus in the early morning cold. An open back truck arrives just after 06:00 to take them to the fields to help bring in the harvest. Across this fertile land of eastern Lebanon, Syria's refugee children are increasingly doing the jobs of adult manual labourers. "It's a worrying phenomenon we see increasing by the day." Unicef's regional director Maria Calivis told me. "The numbers of refugees are growing larger, and the people arriving are more destitute than ever." On the streets of the Lebanese capital Beirut, refugee children can be seen selling trinkets or shining shoes to bring in some money to support their families. But organised child labour is a new and troubling problem that underscores Syria's deepening humanitarian crisis. "The invisible is becoming visible," affirmed Ms Calivis. Dozens of children dressed in plastic sandals and thin shirts or dresses shiver in the dawn chill. They cling to metal bars as they're thrown back and forth in the truck normally used to transport livestock which ferries them to a nearby farm where courgettes are ripe for picking. This pint-sized gang of workers swarms into the lush green fields as the Syrian middleman, who organises the labour on this Lebanese farm, shouts at them to get to work. "My hands hurt," confesses 14-year-old Abdul Aziz as he holds up his grimy hands and points to the prickly stalks. Even in his pain, he manages a shy smile. In other fields, where children have been harvesting crops such as grapes or potatoes, the work is even more difficult, and dangerous. Aid officials told me of seeing children cut themselves with knives or run in fear from powerful combine harvesters that churn the soil. "It's a bad situation," says Tarek Mazloum of the Lebanese charity Beyond as he watches little children struggle with big buckets of fat green courgettes. "Each family consists of six, seven or eight children and all of them work, from three or four years old," he explains. His charity helps provide for Syrian refugee families. He shakes his head, visibly upset. "But we can't stop it. If the children don't work, the family would be destroyed. They wouldn't eat." "It is up to all of us to find a solution," says Unicef's Maria Calivis. "Children should be at school and not at work." But when Lebanon's public schools opened this week, there simply wasn't enough space for all the young Syrians. UN officials say there are now about 400,000 Syrians of school age but only 100,000 extra places. The UN, working with other aid agencies, has launched a "Back to Learning" campaign which provides for informal education so children don't fall too far behind. On our visit to the Bekaa Valley the children finished their work in the fields and then were taken back to their settlement where they helped pitch tents on rocky ground, and arranged brightly coloured plastic tables and chairs for a makeshift open air school. Abdul Aziz, who hours earlier had showed me his hurting hands, was now enthusiastically clapping with other children in a loud rendition of "one, two buckle my shoe". Classes like this are not just to forget the pain of the morning, but the even greater trauma families escaped in Syria. "We try to help them forget the past," says the lively young teacher Azza who is also a refugee from the Syrian city of Homs. "We try to give them a time of happiness, of fun." "I like going to school," says 10-year-old Rasha whose family fled the northern city of Aleppo several months ago. "Its better in Lebanon - there are no bombs here," she tells me with a fetching smile as she clasps her hands decorated with bright blue nail polish. Home for these children is now tents fashioned from rough tarpaulin and thick sheets from advertising hoardings. The land is rented from local Lebanese landlords, often through Syrian labourers who've been living in these kind of informal settlements for years. Lebanon, unlike Jordan and Turkey, has not authorised the UN to establish formal refugee camps. Rasha now lives with her five siblings and her widowed mother Fatima in a rectangular blue tent just behind the cluster of classrooms. She and her brother Omar both work in the fields. "I feel like my heart is being ripped out," her mother Fatima laments, fighting back tears. "But what can I do? If my children don't work, we can't live." In the back of their tent, two young cousins who just arrived from Syria the night before sit listening quietly. It's a visible reminder that the refugee population keeps growing by the day, and so does the problem of child labour. "We are following up with NGOs to ensure the work is not exploitative or hazardous," says Unicef's Maria Calivis. "We have also started a campaign to ensure parents are aware this is not the best thing for kids." Another answer, suggest aid officials, would be financial vouchers for families but at the moment that is a costly, and difficult, option that isn't in anyone's budget. "This is a really big dilemma for us," says Soha Boustani, Unicef's communications chief in Lebanon. "We want to protect these children and at the same time we don't want to deprive the family from their only source of income." For now, there are no easy answers to stop child labour, or to end Syria's punishing war. Both are destroying Syria's future.

He also equals the record for pole positions at the British Grand Prix with five - alongside Jim Clark. The Mercedes driver was 0.547 seconds quicker than Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen with his title rival Sebastian Vettel only third, a massive 0.756secs adrift. Hamilton's team-mate Valtteri Bottas was fourth quickest but will start ninth after a five-place grid penalty. It is the perfect start to a weekend on which Hamilton knows he needs to win. The Briton is 20 points behind Vettel heading into the race and has said he wants to use this weekend to get his season back on track. His performance was the perfect riposte to criticisms of his decision to miss the F1 demonstration in London on Wednesday. Hamilton was the only driver not to attend the event in Trafalgar Square, a decision he said was based on making sure he was as prepared as he could be for his home race. "I needed to make sure I got that lap in," he said. "I didn't do it last weekend." That was a reference to his qualifying third in Austria last week, which meant he started eighth following a gearbox penalty for the same reason as Bottas has his rather than eighth. As for the race, he said the car had been quick in practice in race trim, adding: "I need to do it for these guys," gesturing at the crowd. Hamilton was bubbling with enthusiasm about his Mercedes' performance around the high-speed corners of Silverstone. There had been speculation before the weekend that Copse corner would be flat-out, but Hamilton said it was actually quicker to have a small lift and take it in seventh gear. But he added that the faster, more demanding 2017 cars meant that part of the middle left-hander of the Becketts complex that follows Copse was flat-out when it never had been before. He said: "You can take Copse flat in eighth but it is not necessarily quicker - you scrub a lot of speed off and the rpm drops off too much. I don't personally take it flat. "And then Maggotts and Becketts; that section is on fire - Turn 10 is always flat, 11 has been flat for years, 12, from 2007 to now, you were letting off later and later and now you are on the gas into 12. Turn 13 (the final right-hander) is a fantastic corner because it is very bumpy, a lot of compression on the tyres and it is all about the exit. Vettel, who was greeted with boos from some sections of the crowd, added: "(Becketts is) basically flat until the last (right-handed) corner. Eighth gear, unbelievable. The car just sticks." Red Bull's Max Verstappen was best of the rest in fifth, his team-mate Daniel Ricciardo last after suffering a suspected turbo failure in the first, wet part of qualifying. And there was a starring performance from Renault's Nico Hulkenberg, the German benefiting from a new floor to qualify sixth ahead of both Force Indias. Team-mate Jolyon Palmer was 11th - 0.8secs slower than his team-mate in second qualifying. Media playback is not supported on this device There was an unfamiliar sight in first qualifying, when Fernando Alonso made a late call to switch to slick tyres right at the end, only just made it around to start a final lap and ended the session fastest of all after a superb lap. Only one other driver did the same - Force India's Esteban Ocon - and he was more than two seconds slower than Alonso. The Spaniard, who has a 30-place grid penalty for using too many engine parts, did not make it through into final qualifying, ending up 13th. Alonso will start from the back. But the good news for McLaren continued as team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne out-qualified the two-time champion for the first time this season and snuck through into the top 10 shoot-out as the last man in Q2. The highly rated Belgian, who for the first time has shown the form expected of him, qualified ninth, sneaking ahead of Haas' Romain Grosjean with his final lap. The SNP MP for Edinburgh East said the party had to prepare for a second referendum on Scottish independence and still had "arguments to win". The current deputy leader, Stewart Hosie, has said he will step down in the autumn. Mr Sheppard wrote in a blog: "We need to prepare for the challenges ahead, including IndyRef2 when it comes. "That will be a far tougher test, and we need to be ready." Others to announce they are running are the party's Westminster leader Angus Robertson and MEP Alyn Smith. Mann, the world number 74, showed few signs of nerves as he made breaks of 69 and 77 in the first three frames. But after mistakes crept into the 24-year-old's game, the more experienced Allen capitalised. Mann said: "Once I started missing a few I just doubted my technique and that's what killed me really." Having come through three rounds in qualifying at Ponds Forge, Mann was the only player in the 32-strong field never to have experienced the tense atmosphere of the Crucible before. He took a 2-1 lead over Allen, a World Championship semi-finalist in 2009, but then lost five of the next six frames to trail 6-3 overnight. Allen, the world number seven, was in no mood to let up when play resumed on Wednesday morning, winning four successive frames to clinch a routine victory. Media playback is not supported on this device Birmingham-born Mann said: "I just seemed to lose a lot of faith in my cueing. I didn't really want to take many balls on and that just shook my confidence. "I don't think I'll take much time off from here. I think I'm just going to iron out the demons in my technique." Mann said the biggest lesson he had learned from his first appearance was how the intimate nature of the Crucible lays bare every mistake. "It's very different to the qualifiers, there's no hiding out there," he said. "When your confidence gets as low as it was for me, it's not really the place to play. "I think I need to work really hard at my game. My technique - and my confidence in it - is killing me at the minute."

It began at about 20:15 GMT. The school said it would be closed on Friday as a result of the damage caused. Police are investigating. The school has 177 pupils, aged from three to 11. The central London Employment Tribunal has upheld a claim by 210 judges that they suffered age, race or sex discrimination during the change. When the new, less generous, scheme was introduced, older judges were allowed to stay in their old scheme until they retired or for an interim period. The tribunal decided this was unlawful discrimination against younger judges. In its ruling, the tribunal said: "The respondents [the government] have treated and continue to treat the claimants less favourably than their comparators because of their age. "The respondents have failed to show their treatment of the claimants to be a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. "The respondents have failed to adduce any evidence of disadvantage suffered by the fully protected and the taper-protected groups of judges which called for redress, or any social policy objective which was served by treating those groups more favourably and the claimant group less favourably," the tribunal ruling added. In the early years of this decade, the government decided to overhaul all of the public sector pension schemes covering millions of workers, for instance in local government, the NHS, education and the civil service. Generally this meant that for future service, workers would have to pay higher contributions, retire later and accrue pension entitlement on a less generous "career average" basis, rather than enjoy the traditional final-salary calculations from which they had benefitted before. In order to sweeten the pill for existing judges, the government decided in 2013 that those who were within 10 years of their normal pension age, as of April 2012, would be excluded from the requirement to switch schemes. In effect, that meant that three-quarters of the then judges would not be affected at all. Some others as of that date, who were aged between 51 years and six months, and 55 years, were given "transitional" protection from the changes until September 2025 at the latest, when they too would have to switch schemes. Altogether the protected groups amounted to 85% of all judges, leaving just 279 to feel the full force of the change, to a much less generous pension arrangement. Most of those younger judges objected. Shubha Banerjee from the solicitors Leigh Day, who represented 204 of the judges at the employment tribunal, said: "This is a great victory for our clients, many of whom sit alongside older judges who were appointed some years after them but who are, in effect, paid more purely because they are older." "The fact that there is a significant number of female and BME judges in the younger group simply compounds the unfairness of the changes that were made to judicial pensions." The government will now have to decide what to do. "We are disappointed by the court's findings and will be considering whether to appeal [against] the judgment," said a spokesman for the Ministry of Justice. The next step would be an appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal. Leigh Day suggested that the government's defeat in the judges' case could have important implications for members of other public sector pension schemes, such as those for teachers, firefighters and prison officers, where it said transitional arrangements had also disadvantaged some members. But Claire Carey, at the specialist pension law firm Sackers said: "That would depend on the precise transitional provisions other schemes have got, how long they lasted for, and also on the aims underlying them." Scores of firefighters have tackled the blaze at a glass bottle manufacturing factory on Towngate Link in Cross Green Way, about a mile from the city centre. The fire at Allied Glass's single-storey warehouse and bottle decoration unit, which is about 328ft (100m) long, started after midnight on Friday. The company said 21 people were working inside when the blaze broke out and no-one was injured. About 35 firefighters remain at the scene to dampen down the fire, which has been brought under control. Live updates and more from across West Yorkshire Operations Director Richard Summers said more than 10,000 pallets of glass had been "completely destroyed" by the fire. "It's catastrophic. Everything's levelled to the floor. It really has taken the whole warehouse. "It looks like the site will have to be demolished and rebuilt." West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said the fire was still burning and it expected crews to remain on site over the weekend. Group Manager Gary Clare said: "The building structure is now unstable and for that reason we cannot commit firefighters inside it so we are tackling the areas that are still burning from outside using aerial jets." Mr Summers said he hoped the company could "maintain supply albeit not at the same level" at a temporary site. An investigation has started into the cause of the blaze, and roads surrounding Cross Green Way have been closed. Even Bowser would be impressed with his ability to bound through a world of floating coins and wide crevasses. The American broadcaster PBS has tried to explain his gift. You might be impressed. The Space Time Show worked out, based on the plumber's 3.5m jump, he lives in a world with eight times the Earth's gravity. That's so strong, even the Solar System's biggest planet, Jupiter, doesn't have that much gravity. (Even if it did, Mario wouldn't be able to jump on it because it's a gas planet, obvs.) Low gravity - such as occurs on the Moon - allows great leaps with little effort. This meant that astronauts could jump around the lunar surface despite their heavy spacesuits. That Mario can jump twice his own height in Super Mario World, shows the Italian must regularly hit the squat rack to leap as high and as quickly as he does. He must also have a super heart, since a normal human heart wouldn't be able to pump blood around his body given the gravitation pull of his planet. If the plumber lived on Earth - with its gravity - he could easily jump over six double-decker buses. Hopefully Princess Peach will be grateful for all the training he puts in just to rescue her. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube The Scotland forward has scored 39 goals this season to lead Ronny Deila's side to the brink of retaining the Premiership title. Team-mate Kieran Tierney won the Young Player of the Year award. Mark Warburton was named manager of the year on a night when Rangers won three awards. Ibrox captain Lee Wallace was also named Championship player of the year, while Barrie McKay's strike against Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final was voted goal of the season. Dunfermline's Moroccan forward Faissal el Bakhtaoui won the League One award, while East Fife's Nathan Austin was player of the year for League Two. Griffiths held off competition from Aberdeen winger Jonny Hayes, and Dundee duo Kane Hemmings and Greg Stewart. He was given his prize at the Glasgow Hilton hotel a day after he scored the third goal in Celtic's 3-1 win over Hearts at Tynecastle, which all but sealed the league title for a fifth time in a row. Celtic need just a point from their final three games to be crowned champions. Left-back Tierney, 18, has been one of the stand outs for Celtic this season with 32 appearances. He also made his Scotland debut in a 1-0 win over Denmark in March. Rangers manager Warburton beat off competition from Ross County's Jim McIntyre, fellow Championship boss Peter Houston, and Peterhead's Jim McInally. The Englishman took over at Ibrox last summer, leading Rangers to promotion to the Premiership and to the Petrofac Training Cup. The former Brentford manager could also add the Scottish Cup to his list of honours should they defeat Hibernian at Hampden on 21 May. The body of Stacey Tierney, 29, was discovered in Dreams ­Gentlemen's Club in Melbourne on 19 December. Australian police are investigating the death of the former fitness instructor from Manchester, which they are describing as "unexplained". "This loss has devastated our family", a statement said. A post-mortem examination is due to be held to investigate the cause of death, Victoria Police said on Tuesday. Police did not say whether her death was being treated as suspicious. Ms Tierney's family said in a statement they had been through an "extremely difficult time" since learning about her death and they "wait to hear further news every day". "Stacey was, and will always be, the most amazing, special, caring person you could ever meet and this loss has devastated our family," the statement said. "While we continue to work with the authorities in Melbourne our primary aim at this time is to bring Stacey home," the statement said. "Until we have Stacey home and the investigation is complete we would be grateful if the family's privacy can be respected and we are allowed time to come to terms with what has happened." Ms Tierney studied dance at Oldham College and had worked as a fitness instructor at Nitro Boxing Fitness Centre and Manchester Aquatics Centre before moving to Australia. An online funding page set up by Ms Tierney's cousin Colleen Sarah to repatriate her body has raised more than £11,000. Dutchman Louis van Gaal has given 14 academy players their debuts in United's first team since taking charge as manager in the summer of 2014. In that time, Van Gaal has spent around £250m on new signings at Old Trafford. "I think it will always be part of the club's philosophy," said assistant manager Giggs, 42. Jesse Lingard, 23, was the first to be given his debut in Van Gaal's first competitive game in August 2014 and the Englishman has gone on to become a regular in the team, while 18-year-old Marcus Rashford recently scored the winner in the derby game against Manchester City. Welshman Giggs played nearly 1,000 games for United in a 24-year playing career with the Old Trafford club, winning 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League crowns and four FA Cups. He played alongside the fabled 'Class of 92', which included other youth products Gary and Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and David Beckham. "It's part of the history, it's what sets us apart from other teams," Giggs told the club's website. "Yes, we can bring world-class players in from around the world but we want one of our own to be performing on that Old Trafford pitch, whether it's a centre-forward, a winger or a defender. "We need players to come through the ranks. That's a massive part of the United history." Northumberland County Council approved the proposals for 200 houses, shops and a school at its County Hall site. Morpeth Chamber of Trade chair Jacky Beesley said it was "unsatisfactory that the council was both the planning authority and the landowner that would benefit from approvals". The council said it was "clearly a contentious issue". "We note the decision of the secretary of state but as we are currently in purdah ahead of local elections in May we are unable to comment further", a spokesperson said. Secretary of state Sajid Javid will now make a decision after a public inquiry, the Department for Communities and Local Government confirmed. South Morpeth Coalition residents' group said 1,700 people had "finally been listened to". David Holden, from the group, said: "The resolutions passed at the planning committee were disgraceful and made a mockery of the Morpeth Neighbourhood Plan, which was endorsed by nearly 4,000 residents last year with a 93% majority." The neighbourhood plan made it clear the site was not suitable for retail and housing, he said. "The principle of a new school is supported but the suggested location opposite a fast food drive thru is appalling," he said. The coalition and the Morpeth and District Chamber of Trade submitted requests to the secretary of state for the plans to be called in. There had been criticism of the cost of council plans to relocate its headquarters. The authority said selling off the land and erecting a new £40m building in Ashington would be more cost-effective than refurbishing the current building. The leisure centres on Lewis and Harris have been traditionally closed on Sundays in observation of the Sabbath. Islands local authority, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, decided in October against a year-long trial of Sunday opening for cost and "operational reasons". A crowdfunding campaign, backed by the National Secular Society, has now secured £11,400 to fund a trial. The comhairle said it had taken a "democratic decision" not to open on Sundays and its councillors were best placed to decide on local demand for a service. It said the National Secular Society (NSS) was incorrect in its assumption that the sports centre was not open on a Sunday for Sabbatarian reasons. Leisure centres in other parts of the Western Isles run by the comhairle, including on Benbecula, are open on Sundays. Lewis-based campaign group Families into Sports for Health (FiSH), backed by the NSS, ran the online fundraising drive. Pauline Matterson, of the campaign group, said: "FiSH has worked respectfully within the council's processes and procedures for the last decade in raising the issue of Sunday opening. "While FiSH is a health-focused, community organisation, the Western Isles has a history of Sabbath observance, and some councillors have stated that the issue of Sunday opening is one with religious connotations. "Prior to the introduction of the Equality Act in 2010, the local council stated religion as a reason for the absence of Sunday operations. Recently, it has stated the reason for not opening is financial. "FiSH is pleased to help the council overcome their stated financial shortfall." Ms Matterson added that campaigners hoped the comhairle would now run the trial on Lewis. Alistair McBay, the National Secular Society's spokesman for Scotland, said: "As secularists, we have no objection to Sabbatarians staying indoors on Sunday and observing the Sabbath according to their custom, but they need to understand that not all islanders share their religious beliefs. "The local council now has no option but to open the leisure facility for the trial year." However, the council said: "The Comhairle considered this matter in October of this year and agreed not to proceed with a trial Sunday opening. "This is a democratic decision by the local authority based on an objective assessment of the likely costs and the employment and operational issues involved - not just purely financial issues. "It is a local matter which should be determined locally by elected councillors who are best placed to assess the issues and the local demand for a service. "It should be noted that the Lewis Sports Centre already has generous opening hours - amongst the longest in the north of Scotland." The Sabbath has traditionally been observed on the isles of Lewis and Harris. In 2010, there was strong opposition to the start of a Sunday ferry service between Stornoway on Lewis and Ullapool on the west Highland coast. David Byrne, 33, was shot dead at the Regency Hotel on 5 February. The details were given at an extradition hearing in Belfast. Kevin Murray who was arrested earlier this week at his home in Townsend Street in Strabane was refused bail. He was arrested by PSNI officers on Monday, using a European Arrest Warrant. Mr Murray is objecting to a bid by the Irish police, who claim he played a a central role in the hotel shooting, to extradite him to the Republic of Ireland. The details of the overnight stay were revealed by the recorder of Belfast as among the reasons why she was refusing bail to Mr Murray. She also said that Irish police investigating the killing of Mr Byrne also claimed that Mr Murray could be clearly identified on CCTV footage at the Regency Hotel in Dublin. Byrne, a 34-year-old father of two from the Crumlin area, was shot dead when masked men dressed as Garda (Irish police) officers opened fire with automatic guns. Two other men were injured in the attack which police have linked to a gangland feud in Dublin. A full extradition hearing is expected to take place at Laganside Court in Belfast in the near future. Leo, four, was on holiday with family in Melbourne when he spotted the machine in a hotel lobby. Reports said the boy was attempting to reach a packet of biscuits when his arm became stuck in anti-theft mechanisms. He was sedated and distracted with smartphones while emergency crews worked with angle grinders to cut open the machine. Witnesses said they could hear his screams from the street. The boy was taken to the Royal Children's Hospital in a stable condition. Leo's father Aaron Shorthouse said the experience was very hard on his son. "We live up in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, and I don't think he's seen a vending machine before, so he saw the Oreos, and some biscuits and a few other things," Mr Shorthouse told local media. Arnhem Land is a remote region of the Northern Territory with a population of just 16,000 stretched across 97,000 square kilometres (37,000 square miles). However, pharmaceuticals companies slid following comments by President-elect Donald Trump that drugs companies were "getting away with murder". The Dow Jones Industrial Average, was up 98.75 points at 19,954.28. The S&P 500 was up 6.42 points at 2,275.32. The tech-heavy Nasdaq hit another record high at 5,563.65, up 11.86 3 points. In his first formal news conference since his election last November Mr Trump said drugs companies were getting away with murder in what they charged the government for medicines. He also said he had discussed making it easier to import cheaper drugs. "When somebody that high profile says something that negative, people do not want to invest in it. They view the sector as uninvestible, and withdraw their money," Brad Loncar, manager of the Loncar Cancer Immunotherapy ETF. The two biggest losers on the Dow were Pfizer, which lost 1.82% and Johnson and Johnson which shed 1.23%. On the S&P 500 healthcare supplier Perrigo company dropped 6.9%, Mallinckrodt pharmaceuticals was down 6.16% and Bristol-Myers Squibb lost 5.3%. The Calder Valley and Liverpool to Manchester via Warrington Central lines are seen as most in need of work. A cross-party group set up by the government to advise on rail investment has published a report recommending which routes to improve first. The "Tier One" lines should be considered for the next funding cycle of 2019-2024, the task force said. Electric trains accelerate faster than their diesel equivalents and would allow for shorter journey times, according to the report. The North of England Electrification Task Force said new electric trains would also mean less overcrowding on the routes. A number of routes across northern England are already being electrified, including Liverpool to Wigan and the Manchester-Bolton-Preston-Blackpool line. Passengers made the first journey on an electric train between Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Airport on Thursday. But work on the 32 non-electrified routes looked at by the task force will be dependent on Network Rail. Twelve lines were classed as Tier One, with the remaining routes split between Tier Two and Tier Three. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said: "I want to see a rolling plan for further electrification and this study will have a vital part to play in setting the agenda for 2019 and beyond. "Network Rail will take the task force's findings into account as it develops its nationwide plan to improve the nation's railways." The Labour leader told Sky News the party will seek an amendment on "market access and protections", but the referendum result will be respected. The government's appeal against a High Court ruling that ministers should refer to Parliament before triggering Article 50 will be heard on Monday. Mr Corbyn is currently in Prague with other left-wing European politicians. What if ministers lose the Brexit appeal? The government is expected to lose its Supreme Court appeal against an earlier High Court ruling, which said ministers cannot start the process of the UK's exit from the EU without a parliamentary debate. BBC News understands that a short three-line bill has been prepared by the government in the event of an Article 50 debate in Parliament, so that Prime Minister Theresa May can still meet her March deadline. It is not the first time Mr Corbyn has discussed the need to negotiate before agreeing on any potential Article 50 bill. In November, he told the Sunday Mirror that Labour would not vote in favour of the bill in parliament unless Theresa May agrees to their "Brexit bottom lines". On Saturday, Mr Corbyn said: "When the Article 50 debate comes up we will put forward an amendment to it which will be on the issues I've just said on market access and protections. "We want those to be part of the negotiation but we are respecting the result of the referendum. It might not be the one we wanted, it's the one we've got." A spokesman for Mr Corbyn told the BBC Labour would propose the amendment to "try to force the government to bring their negotiating position to parliament". However, the spokesman added that if the amendment failed, Labour "will not vote against the Article 50 bill". The Labour leader's comments come as Attorney General Jeremy Wright accused the High Court of treating the referendum result as if it were "almost... a footnote" in a document setting out the government's Supreme Court appeal arguments. Mr Corbyn also gave a speech at the Party of European Socialists in Prague, where he urged progressive parties across Europe to unite against the rise of the "populist right" and accused some "populist right" parties of being "political parasites". The vote was announced at the advertising agency's annual general meeting in Dublin, but is not binding. It comes after a number of shareholder advisory bodies urged members to vote against the deal. WPP is the latest firm to suffer investor discontent over executive pay. The voting result so far is based on the postal votes of WPP's large institutional shareholders. Small shareholders attending the AGM in person are now voting at present, but this will have only a very limited effect on the final result. By Jim FitzpatrickBBC NI economics and business editor Sir Martin Sorrell upped the ante in the debate over his pay by publicly defending it on the basis that his performance merited such a generous package. So the annual meeting took place in the context of this huge row with the company's shareholders. But in Dublin's Convention Centre you would have been forgiven for missing this context had you not read the financial press in recent days. In his presentation Sir Martin never once mentioned the "P" issue, but did a not-so-subtle job of justifying his pay nonetheless with a convincing argument about WPP's performance. There were no fireworks from the floor. The only shareholder to ask a question politely inquired if the board had simply ignored warnings from last year's shareholder vote. The answer from the man who authorised the pay rise suggested an element of contrition - the board promised to keep in continuous engagement with shareholders going forward. The message from shareholders was received. There's no backtracking but it appears the board will try to avoid a similar row next year. Shareholder advisory body Pirc was one organisation that urged members to vote against the deal, citing concerns over its "excessiveness". Pirc and other bodies highlighted the fact that Sir Martin's pay package was 60% higher than a year earlier. The BBC's Northern Ireland business correspondent, Jim Fitzpatrick, who was at WPP's AGM, said its shareholders had "delivered a message". He added: "The company justified their remuneration policies but struck a contrite note by promising a more 'continuous' engagement with shareholders." Louise Rouse, director of engagement at investment campaigner FairPensions, who also attended the meeting, said: "It is difficult to know whether the WPP board underestimated the level of shareholder anger or simply chose to ignore it." However, WPP's chairman Philip Lader, told the AGM that the company took the remuneration report vote "very seriously". He added: "We'll consult with many share owners and will then move forward in the best interests of our share owners and our business." However, BBC business editor Robert Peston believes WPP's board may need to take more drastic action to restore good relations with shareholders: "Normally in these embarrassing circumstances, someone senior would resign from the board, to bring about a structural improvement in the relationship with the owners." By Robert PestonBusiness editor But he thinks that Sir Martin is unlikely to go: "Presumably it will have to be one or both of the individuals who set his pay, Mr Rosen and Mr Lader." Ahead of the AGM, Sir Martin had defended his pay deal, which comprises a £1.3m salary, a £2m annual bonus and £3m in deferred shares and other benefits. Sir Martin, who founded WPP in 1985, pointed to the company's £1bn record profit last year, and said he found the controversy over his compensation "deeply disturbing". Writing in the Financial Times last week Sir Martin said: "WPP has a very independently-minded board and compensation committee, which makes decisions that they believe are in the long-term interests of the company and its shareholders, of which I am one. "The board's compensation decisions are right because they reward performance, not failure, reject options in favour of a long-term incentive scheme with co-investment and five-year performance periods, and are competitively fair against our big US and French competitors, which we consistently outperform." Others companies who have also recently faced shareholder rebellions include Aviva, Trinity Mirror and AstraZeneca - all of whom announced the departures of their chief executives as a result of investor pressure. Christoff Gillen was fined last month, after rainbow-coloured graffiti was scrawled at Donegall Place, Belfast. Mr Gillen's solicitor said he had carried out a piece of performance art as part of a gay rights campaign. A council spokeswoman said the fine was waived on the condition that Mr Gillen consults them on future art projects. The council also defended the actions of the Belfast litter warden who issued the fine to Mr Gillen on 13 March. It is not the first time the performance artist has expressed himself through pavement graffiti. Twelve years ago, he used chalk to write the names of more than 3,672 people who died as a result of the Troubles in Northern Ireland around Belfast City Hall. This time, according to his legal representatives, Mr Gillen was carrying out a piece of performance art entitled A Thousand and One Kisses. They said he had attempted to create a "rainbow of love" on the pavement which was aimed at "highlighting inequality of treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights and marriage equality". The Belfast Telegraph previously reported that Mr Gillen had planned to pay the £60 fine using 6,000 pennies, delivering the coins to the council. His solicitor Katie McAlister, of the Belfast law firm Madden Finucane, said: "The decision now made by Belfast City Council is correct and just in the context of our client expressing his views and raising awareness of LGBT rights through the medium of performance art. "Mr Gillen is understandably delighted with this outcome of this case." In a statement to the BBC, a spokeswoman for Belfast City Council said: "The fine was waived on the condition that Mr Gillen gives an assurance that the council will be consulted in advance of any future requests for what he describes as "performance art" on council property or anywhere council has enforcement responsibilities. "The council is satisfied that the officer who issued the fixed penalty notice was acting appropriately at that time." The 24-year-old will join the Irish province later this year after completing his 2015 contractual commitments with Auckland Blues. Twice capped for the All Blacks, Saili has made 33 Super Rugby appearances for the Blues, scoring five tries in the process. "I believe I can continue to improve and grow within the Munster set-up," said Saili. Describing the move to Ireland as "a fantastic opportunity", he added that Munster had the "values and traditions I can relate to from my time at the Blues". Munster head coach Anthony Foley said he thought Saili would be a great addition to the Munster back line. "We are really pleased that Francis has committed his future to the province," Foley said. "He is a talented centre with an impressive skill-set and he possesses the physical attributes to excel in the northern hemisphere." He described the meeting on the fringes of the Summit of the Americas in Panama as "candid and fruitful". Mr Obama said that the former foes would continue to have differences but could advance mutual interests. The meeting was the first formal talks between the two countries' leaders in more than half a century. "What we have both concluded is that we can disagree with a spirit of respect and civility," said President Obama. "Over time, it is possible for us to turn the page and develop a new relationship between our two countries." His remarks came at the end of a regional summit which has been dominated by the historic thaw between US-Cuba relations. Cuban leader Raul Castro said that the two countries had "agreed to disagree" when necessary. "We are disposed to talk about everything, with patience," he said. "Some things we will agree with, and others we won't." Earlier, the Cuban leader referred to Mr Obama as an "honest man" after a lengthy speech largely taken up with the history of the relationship between the US and Cuba. "When I talk about the revolution, the passion oozes out of me," the Cuban leader said. "I have to ask President Obama for forgiveness. He is not responsible for the things which happened before his time." Latin American and Caribbean leaders at the summit in Panama have welcomed the reconciliation. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff hailed it as a courageous effort to end the last vestiges of the Cold War, which she said had caused great damage in the hemisphere. President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner of Argentina gave the main credit to Cuba, saying it had fought with unprecedented dignity against the US blockade. This summit was always going to be about the interaction between President Obama and Raul Castro. The White House had hinted that they were interested in a one-to-one meeting although none had been officially scheduled. In the end, it took place in a small nondescript room in a Panama City conference centre. The two leaders did not look exactly at ease, sitting on small chairs slightly angled towards each other, but their tone was cordial. Mr Obama called the meeting "historic". Mr Castro said he would continue taking steps to normalise relations between the two former foes. The meeting was in essence symbolic. With the cameras flashing away, no decisions were made. But its message was clear: we have our differences, but we can do business with each other. When 'historic' seems apt The US broke off diplomatic relations with Cuba in 1959 after Fidel Castro and his brother Raul led a revolution toppling US-backed President Fulgencio Batista. The Castros established a revolutionary socialist state with close ties to the Soviet Union. Mr Castro has called for the lifting of the US economic blockade on Cuba and the country's removal from Washington's list of state sponsors of terrorism. For Washington, political reform and human rights in Cuba are key issues. Mr Obama is expected to remove Cuba from the terrorism list in the coming days. The Summit of the Americas brings together the leaders of North, Central and South America. This, the seventh, is the first which Cuba attended. Attempts to improve relations between the US and Cuba began in December when Mr Obama declared Washington's approach "outdated". As US ties with Cuba improve, those between Venezuela and Washington remain fractious. The US imposed sanctions last month on a group of Venezuelan officials it accuses of human rights abuses. Mr Obama also issued an executive order declaring Venezuela a threat to US national security. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has described the order as "disproportionate". President Maduro spoke briefly at the summit to President Obama, who stressed that the US was interested in supporting and not threatening Venezuela. The Venezuelan leader disputed that view, but according to a tweet from one of his aides "there was a lot of truth, respect and cordiality" during the short conversation. The summit also highlighted differences between President Rafael Correa of Ecuador and the US. Mr Correa said the US had failed to live up to its ideals: "Let's talk about human rights. In Ecuador we don't have torture, the death penalty or extrajudicial renditions." In response, Mr Obama said the US does not claim to be perfect. "We make a claim to being open to change," he said. In a Daily Telegraph interview, the star said he regularly receives letters of complaint from fans. "Almost every night when I'm on stage my agent will say to me: 'Well kid, 30 people wanted their money back'," the 36-year-old said. "At first it was a real worry for my agents," he added. "They kept saying: 'Mike, you're losing the audience'. Especially when I wasn't playing to that many people. "I remember my American agent saying: 'Tonight it was huge, 70 people wanted their money back'. "And I said: 'Give them their money back. I don't want them at my show. I don't want some stuck-up prudes [who] can't laugh at themselves'. Give me my kind of people and we'll be fine. "I get letters saying: 'I really liked you, but you were crude, you were rude, you used foul language, you were suggestive'," he said. Despite the walkouts, the singer has sold 35 million albums worldwide and is the world's most popular contemporary male vocalist. His music career began in his teenage years, when he won a Canadian talent search and began releasing a series of independent albums. Eventually, the youngster was spotted by music producer David Foster (Madonna, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion) and given a record deal with Reprise Records - an offshoot of Warner Brothers, originally founded by Frank Sinatra in 1960. The pair produced his self-titled breakthrough album, which featured jazzy interpretations of songs like Van Morrison's Moondance. Since then, he has released a new record every two years, winning several Grammy awards in the "pop vocal" category. Last month, Buble celebrated his second number one album in the UK after his Christmas covers album topped the UK chart. Media playback is not supported on this device The former England player will report to team director Andy Flower, who will focus on the Test side. The 39-year-old, who is also an England selector, led Warwickshire to the County Championship in September. "I am delighted to be given an opportunity to coach at international level," said Giles "I have worked closely with Andy in recent years as a selector and am looking forward to continuing to work together and to build on the progress that has been made with the ODI and T20 sides in recent years." The former England off-spinner took 143 wickets in 54 Test appearances for his country between 1998 and 2006. After leading Warwickshire to their seventh County Championship, Giles said he still had "a lot of work to do" for the club at which he spent his whole domestic playing career. However, he will now take charge of the one-day side for the first time against India in January, before leading the team on the New Zealand tour in February. The former Bears director of cricket will then turn his focus to the 50-over Champions Trophy at home next summer. The sensible thing to do is to have some sort of succession plan and this is part of it An England and Wales Cricket Board statement said Flower would have "accountability for the results of England cricket" and would also continue to tour with the England Test side during both home and away series. However, the team director will no longer be responsible for the day-to-day leadership of the England ODI and T20 sides. Giles will take over that duty and with Flower will also help develop playing strategies to "move England cricket forward in all formats of the game". Giles told BBC Sport the restructure had happened quickly but would strengthen English cricket: "We first started talking about it about a month ago but certainly most of it has happened in the last few days. "It's a huge amount of commitment for one man to coach all three forms of the game - the pressure that goes with it and the time away from home - the importance is that we try and keep hold of our best people for as long as we can. "Andy Flower has done a fantastic job for the team and hopefully this will lengthen his career and the careers of coaches down the line, otherwise we're just going to face a situation where you get burnout." ECB managing director Hugh Morris said: "England cricket has enjoyed considerable success over the past five years. "In order to build on that success we know that we need to look for ways to evolve and it has become clear that the team director role needs to change if we are to ensure we are utilising the role as effectively as possible." Giles was appointed Warwickshire director of cricket in 2007 after retiring from playing in 2006 - a year on from winning the Ashes on home soil. He led the Bears to the county title five years later and Warwickshire bowling coach Graeme Welch, in an interview with the Daily Telegraph in September, backed Giles as an ideal candidate to replace Flower should he ever step down as team director. Despite initially distancing himself from an England head coach role, Giles will now work alongside Flower. Giles said leaving Warwickshire would be difficult. He added: "I'm very excited about taking on the new role but I've had some very, very good years here at Warwickshire as a player and as a coach. This has been my home for 20, 21 seasons. It's far easier to leave the team in this position [as county champions], I'm happy I'm leaving the side in a good position, a good state and in good hands." Zimbabwean Flower, 44, took over as England coach in April 2009 and has masterminded victories over Australia in the last two Ashes series. Flower told BBC Sport: "I have been in discussion with Hugh Morris for a little while now and they revolved round best use of coaching resources. We believe this is an efficient and effective innovation that we are bringing in. "It will give both Ashley and I more time when other series are on to be working with specialist players at their counties, while also giving us planning and strategising time also. There is also the added bonus of a better work-life balance." The best legal provision was the preserve of the wealthy, while victims of crime are "badly" let down, he said. He is seeking a £700m investment in the courts to make better use of technology and speed up trial procedures. Mr Gove has also indicated that he would like to "revisit" aspects of Freedom of Information (FOI) rules. He said there had been "worrying tendency" for the courts to erode exempted areas and the case for ministers to get advice from their civil servants in a "safe space" - beyond the reach of FOI - needed to be re-asserted. In his first speech since being appointed lord chancellor and secretary of state for justice last month, Mr Gove also said he would review the legal aid system amid criticism of cuts to fees made by his predecessors, Ken Clarke and Chris Grayling. Speaking at the Legatum Institute in London, the former education secretary and chief whip said that while the UK's "global reputation" for legal services was "deserved", not all of it was "world-beating". "There are two nations in our justice system at present," he said. "On the one hand, the wealthy, international class who can choose to settle cases in London with the gold standard of British justice. And then everyone else, who has to put up with a creaking, outdated system to see justice done in their own lives. "The people who are let down most badly by our justice system are those who must take part in it through no fault or desire of their own - victims and witnesses of crime, and children who have been neglected." Key issues in Mr Gove's brief Impact of cuts to legal aid and plans for further savings - read more here The future of the Human Rights Act and a British Bill of Rights - read more here Reforms to the court system in England and Wales - read more here Changes to Freedom of Information rules - read more here Penal policy: rehabilitation and the prison population - read more here Making the case for reform of the criminal courts, the justice secretary warned of the "human cost" of the "waste and inefficiency" in the system. He said too many cases were derailed by the late arrival of prisoners, video links that did not work and missing paperwork. "It is the poorest in our society who are disproportionately the victims of crime, and who find themselves at the mercy of this creaking and dysfunctional system," Mr Gove said. Prosecutions should be brought more efficiently and information should exchanged by email or conference call "rather than in a series of hearings", he argued, while evidence needed be served "in a timely and effective way". In a report last year, senior judge Lord Justice Leveson said the criminal justice system in England and Wales needs wide-ranging change to make it more efficient and cheaper to run. He has recommended greater use of video and conferencing technology in court rooms, timetables for evidence and lawyers speeches and the use of pictures gathered by police on cameras attached to their uniforms. These innovations must be "implemented with all speed", Mr Gove said. Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales Lord Thomas told the BBC he welcomed the proposed reforms, so as long as they are financed. Mr Gove said he was "confident" he could secure the £700m funding that judges say are needed to overhaul the system. While the Treasury were "never patsies" and would want to ensure the business case was "robust" he was sure the money would be made available, he told BBC Radio 4's World at One. Bill Waddington, the chair of the Criminal Law Solicitors' Association, said his organisation had been pointing out problems with the courts system for years. "If you take money and resources away from from the Crown Prosecution Service, if you take money and resources away from the police, if you close courts and you also, in addition, then cut legal aid, you've taken finance that is badly needed in there, out of the system, and it starts to creak. "It's more than starting to creak, now the wheels are falling off it." Andrew Caplen, President of the Law Society, told the World at One that he welcomed Mr Gove's programme of reform but he warned that it would not be possible unless the "chronic underfunding" that has dogged the system for "some years" was addressed. Citizens Advice chief executive Gillian Guy said Mr Gove was "right" to look at ways to improve the experience for victims and witnesses in courts. She also called for changes to the evidence domestic abuse victims are required to provide to get legal aid, warning that the system can currently make it "impossible" for some victims to get legal representation. On legal aid, Mr Gove rejected suggestions that he had been forced into a review of the changes made by Mr Grayling because of widespread opposition within the legal profession, saying it was always envisaged they would be looked at again. "Both he and I would want to make sure that the most vulnerable always secure access to justice and secondly that we safeguard high-quality advocacy," he told the BBC. He told the World at One that it was undoubtedly the case that the amount spent on legal aid prior to 2010 was "unsustainable", but he said people who needed it "are not being denied it". The justice secretary also said the profession "can do more", suggesting the "golden circle" of law firms should take on more pro-bono work. As justice secretary, Mr Gove's responsibilities will also include implementing the Conservative Party's pledge to scrap the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. The aim is to give the UK courts and Parliament - rather than European institutions - the final say in contentious cases but ministers have put legislation on hold pending a consultation on the way forward. Mr Gove told the World at One that while the government did not want to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights, it could not be ruled out if changes could not be not made. "I want to be absolutely certain that traditional British liberties are safeguarded and enhanced and in order to get that right, we need to think hard, we need to talk openly and then legislate in a considered way," he said, Labour said victims of crime and injustice would be "bemused" by what they described as Mr Gove's "hand-wringing rhetoric". "Since the Tories took office access to justice has been all but dismantled for the poorest in our society," said shadow justice secretary Lord Falconer. "The number of social welfare cases being granted funding has plummeted, victims of domestic violence are struggling to get help, employment tribunal fees are a significant barrier to workplace justice and the essential safeguard that is judicial review has been severely restricted." Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson said his decision was made following a consultation with the Manx Met office. The rescheduled programme will see the Supersport (10:45 BST), lightweight for Supertwins (13:45) and TT Zero (16:25) races taking place on Wednesday. The Met Office said strong winds would continued throughout Tuesday and motorists were urged to take care. Strong winds and heavy rain caused travel disruption on roads with trees being brought down and ferries being delayed. Forecaster David Hulse said winds could reach speeds of 45mph (72 km/h) or even higher on the Mountain Road but that rain could ease off this afternoon. The Mountain Road was closed after a hut used by TT marshals blew into the road and cones used for a one-way system were displaced. It has since reopened. The weather has also led to some delays with the Ben-my-Chree travelling to Birkenhead instead of Heysham. Organisers of the Ramsey sprint said the annual drag race will still go ahead in the north of the island. The sprint, open to anyone who has a motorbike, sees bikers from all over the world compete in a drag race over a strip of promenade almost a mile long. Vaccination has the potential to reduce the spread of infection without disturbing local populations, scientists report in Current Biology. The findings help explain why culling badgers can cause TB infection in cattle to rise, as infected badgers roam into new territory, they say. Pilot culls are underway in England. Badgers are being culled in west Somerset; with a decision due shortly on whether to extend a pilot cull in west Gloucestershire. In the study, researchers at the University of Exeter and the National Wildlife Management Centre at Woodchester Park, Gloucestershire, fitted 51 badgers in eight different social groups with electronic collars. They monitored the range of the wild badgers and their social interactions over the course of a year. The researchers were able to build a detailed picture of the social network of a wild population of badgers for the first time. We think of badgers as living in tight knit social groups and "sleeping in a big heap underground", but there is more complexity to it, said Prof Robbie McDonald of the University of Exeter, who led the study. "What our study shows is that social structure is very important for the transmission of infection in wild badgers," he told BBC News. "It also suggests that social stability is a good way of mitigating disease spread. So if you can intervene in a system and maintain social stability that's likely to be the best of both worlds." Vaccination does not disrupt social structure, he said, suggesting the social network in badgers - where relatively few individuals might be responsible for disease spread - lends itself to vaccination and could lead quite rapidly to herd immunity. "If you are trying to control disease, it may be advantageous not to disrupt social structure and so you could disrupt flow through those sorts of individuals by using vaccination," Prof McDonald added. "But of course vaccination doesn't do any good to an animal that's already infected." A 9-year trial found that culling badgers could reduce infection in cattle by 12-16% (after four years of culling and five years of follow-up). But if too few badgers are killed over too long a time period, TB infections in cattle can rise as badgers roam further afield to establish new social groups. Prof Rosie Woodroffe of the Institute of Zoology, London, said the study provided clarity about how badgers' social behaviour helps to constrain the spread of TB. "Genetic studies in the Randomised Badger Culling Trial found that culling increased badgers' movements, with especially marked increases for infected badgers," she said. "This new study helps to understand how such behavioural changes could prompt the major increases in disease prevalence which we saw as a result of culling. "The authors are right to highlight that their work shows how the benefits of badger vaccination are likely to be enhanced by badgers' social behaviour, because badger social networks are small and local, so vaccinating small numbers of badgers could still have benefits at a local scale. In contrast, culling disrupts badger social behaviour and spreads disease across the landscape." The Welsh government has chosen to vaccinate badgers in an effort to control TB in cattle, while the government policy in England is to cull badgers in high TB areas. Around 28,000 cattle were slaughtered in 2012 at a cost of £100m to taxpayers. Ministers and the NFU say culling is needed to fight bovine TB, but animal welfare and wildlife groups say scientific evidence does not support the policy of shooting badgers in an attempt to control the disease. A report after a lengthy inquiry into abuse in Northern Ireland recommended payments be made to survivors. But that has yet to be implemented because a power-sharing Stormont executive does not exist to pass it. Victims have called on the parties to quickly agree a compensation process. Campaigner Margaret McGuckin said survivors of abuse are in desperate need of compensation, with many now in poor health. "So many of our people are mentally ill; emotionally ill; in care homes; on their death beds," she said. "Now they're saying: 'Just give us the money to bury ourselves.'" Sir Anthony Hart, the retired judge who led the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry, has written to political parties to urge a "speedy implementation" of his proposals. On Thursday, Sinn Féin's Stormont leader Michelle O'Neill set out her plan for setting up a compensation fund. It included a proposal that the parties agree to commit an initial amount of funding from the Northern Ireland budget and seek a "significant contribution" from the government and religious institutions. She has written to the leaders of the other parties to seek their support for her plan to secure funding for victims. The DUP MP Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has said that in the absence of an executive, the Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire must intervene. He suggested that the parties make a united approach to ask Mr Brokenshire "to see if a mechanism can be agreed to enable the implementation" of Sir Anthony's recommendations. He also suggested that interim measures could be put in place to allow victims to receive a sum of money. "Notwithstanding the political differences in Northern Ireland, we do actually care about those who have suffered," he said. "We have a duty as political parties to respond to the needs of the victims. "If we don't have an executive, we will find a way of taking this forward. "We will work with the other parties to deliver that, even though our preferred outcome is to have an executive so this report can be fully implemented." Sinn Féin's Linda Dillon said her party would "absolutely" join the DUP in making a request to Mr Brokenshire. The Mid Ulster MLA also said that no parties had responded to Mrs O'Neill letter as of Friday afternoon. She said the proposals that Mrs O'Neill put forward had come "from the victims and survivors themselves". "All of us need to give consent to this and I don't think any party should have any issue," she added. The Northern Ireland Office has said that Mr Brokenshire has agreed to meet abuse victims after they called him to implement a redress scheme. Ms McGuckin said that interim payments would be acceptable and would "give people some comfort in their lives". "I hope that our government will finally do something for them." The driver, initially pulled over for speeding and having no licence plates, evaded capture for 90 minutes. The fugitives even managed to continue after road spikes deployed by officers destroyed one of their vehicle's tyres. They were finally halted by the sheep, which blocked the road entirely as they were being moved to new pasture. In a coincidence, the sheep were reported to be owned by a local police officer from Queenstown. All four fugitives were arrested. The Take That star has created the £3m show, titled The Girls, with Tim Firth who wrote the 2003 Calendar Girls film. They are both based on the true story of the Women's Institute members who stripped off for a charity calendar. Barlow joined the cast and original Calendar Girls for the finale at the opening night at Leeds Grand Theatre. He appeared at the curtain call to lead a performance of one of the musical's central songs, titled Yorkshire. Singing the praises of the county has helped the show become a big hit with audiences in Leeds, although a bigger test of its success will come when it moves on from its home turf. The only other confirmed dates so far are at The Lowry in Salford in January. But with a budget of £3.4m and the backing of West End impresarios David Pugh and Dafydd Rogers, and 115-year-old Broadway theatre operator The Shubert Organization, there are bigger plans afoot. National theatre critics were not invited to the first night in Leeds, perhaps in order to allow Barlow and Firth to continue to work on the show before risking it in front of influential reviewers. Barlow may have been scarred by his first attempt at a stage musical earlier this year, when his music for the Broadway adaptation of Finding Neverland was described as "dull" by The Guardian and "fatally ersatz" by The New York Times. The singer recently told BBC North West Tonight: "If you were to listen to critics in life you'd never do anything, so you should never listen to them." The Yorkshire Post's theatre critic Nick Ahad was invited to see The Girls. He wrote: "It's a cliche to say that a show can make you laugh and cry, but The Girls does both in abundance... "I'd bet my flat cap that this show will be booked into theatres in London and around the world." Barlow's music, he wrote, "occasionally feels incidental, complementary to Firth's script as opposed to overpowering it". But he added: "When it does grab the attention, it really grabs the attention. "This show... has an audience ready made: women of a certain age are the UK's biggest buyers of theatre tickets. When they buy tickets to see this, they will see their own lives reflected back at them." The Girls revolves around lifelong friends Annie (played by double Olivier Award-winner Joanna Riding), whose husband is dying of cancer, and the hare-brained Chris (Claire Moore). Chris hatches a plan to raise money by enlisting her fellow WI ladies to pose nude for a charity calendar. The story of inspiring women who defy the pressures of age and appearance to shed their inhibitions as well as their clothes is likely to resonate widely, even if its Yorkshire roots hold less appeal in other locations. The "GREAT" campaign hopes to create a £1bn boost for businesses and bring in four million extra foreign tourists. Ministers are concerned that this summer's riots in several English cities have created a "negative image" abroad which needs to be overcome. Mr Cameron said: "In 2012 there will be only one place to be. We are determined to make the most of this opportunity." Speaking in New York, the prime minister added: "This campaign is simple. There are so many great things about Britain and we want to send out the message loud and proud that this is a great place to do business, to invest, to study and to visit." Posters featuring, among others, tycoon Richard Branson, animated characters Wallace and Gromit, and King Henry VIII, have been designed to sell "great" British attributes. The UK Trade and Investment, the Culture Department, the Foreign Office, Visit Britain and other government departments will work together on the campaign to bring in the business and tourists from now and beyond 2012. London 2012: Latest Olympic news, sport, features and programmes from the BBC Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "This is not about rebranding Britain. It is about using that brand for exports and trade, more foreign tourists and to make sure we can put the record straight after some of the terrible events of this summer which created a negative image. "I think that next year is really a time when we can tell the world what Britain is really about. "It is a very practical, tangible programme based on something that is not new - the idea of putting the great back into Great Britain. "If we were not doing this I think that people would be asking why we were not harnessing this absolutely unique opportunity. "We want to do so in a way that is about jobs and prosperity." The key campaign themes of heritage, sport, shopping, music, entrepreneurship, innovation and countryside are reflected in the posters produced to publicise the project. However British design critic Stephen Bayley was not impressed by the display, telling The Times: "On this evidence, Great Britain does not do great ads. "I don't blame the agency, I blame the client. A fundamental part of British greatness is self-criticism, not docile admiration of the trite and obvious." The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Weekend takes place from 2-5 June next year with the Olympics running from 27 July-12 August and the Paralympics from 29 August-9 September. Despite dominating, with County goalkeeper Joe Day producing some fine saves, the hosts fell behind after a defensive error gifted Mark Randall a close-range goal with an hour gone. Wycombe struck back with a scissor-kick goal from Sam Wood to level the scores, but there was late drama to come. Paris Cowan-Hall lobbed home from 25 yards on 80 minutes to seal victory. The result means the Exiles have now lost seven league games on the bounce and are five points from safety at the foot of the table while Wycombe have won 10 of their last 11 games in all competitions and move up to fifth. Newport manager Graham Westley told BBC Radio Wales Sport: "The result was fair. It was a fair reflection of the game. One team went forward with a lot more verve and penetration than the other. "We are in a very difficult moment. We've got work to do in January to put ourselves in a position where we can win games and get ourselves out of the situation we are in right now."

The ivory, estimated to be worth more than $1m (£638,000), was apparently taken from government strongrooms. Those suspended include the authority's chief ranger as well as intelligence officers who work there. Poaching has increased in recent years, driven by rising demand in Asia for ivory and rhino horn. Uganda is a key transit country for the illegal trade. Uganda Wildlife Authority chief Raymond Engena said police were investigating how the ivory had gone missing. He said he had also asked international police organisation Interpol for help. "The people behind this will be found and dealt with decisively," Mr Engena said. "We have suspended five officials to allow investigations into how the ivory went missing." Police have raised questions about why the ivory was being stockpiled. "It was supposed to be destroyed. The fact that they kept piling it up raises more questions," Mr Engena. Some of the missing ivory is thought to have been seized more than a decade ago. Its disappearance was discovered in a routine check. The suspended officials have not commented publicly.

Dubliner Shiels won the Open race on his Cookstown BE Racing Suzuki and followed it up by taking victory in the feature event of the meeting. Dunlop, 30, triumphed in the two Supersport 600cc races, aboard the CD Racing Yamaha. Malachi Mitchell-Thomas came home first in the Supertwins and Magherafelt rider Paul Jordan enjoyed 125cc success. The opening Supersport race, carried over from Friday, was reduced to five laps after Bolton man Mitchell-Thomas slipped off while holding second place, bringing the red flags out. Dunlop added to his victory at Tandragee last week by taking the chequered flag from Manxman Dan Kneen, with Derek McGee from Mullingar third. The Ballymoney man repeated the feat in race two, with McGee getting the better of Mar-Train Yamaha pilot Kneen to occupy the runner-up spot. Sheils saw off the challenge of McGee in the Open race, with new road racing sensation Mitchell-Thomas completing the rostrum positions. The 33-year-old former Irish champion made it a double by finishing ahead of team-mate Mitchell-Thomas in the main race of the day, with Kneen coming with a late charge to take third. McGee, Dunlop and Waterford rider McCormack made up the top six.

Derek Sheils and William Dunlop shared the top honours at the Cookstown 100, taking two wins apiece.

More than 94% of midwives and maternity support workers taking part in a consultation said they would consider strike action. The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) said there was a palpable "sense of anger and frustration" among members. The RCM will now decide whether to formally ballot members on industrial action. The NHS Pay Review Body had recommended a 1% pay rise for all staff. In March, ministers announced a basic 1% pay rise, but added that staff receiving automatic "progression-in-job" increases would not get the 1% as well. The RCM argue this does not meet the increasing cost of living and say the pay deal amounts to a pay cut. Cathy Warwick, the chief executive of the RCM, said: "We knew midwives were angry about the derisory offer from the Government, but this response from our members highlights just how unfairly they have been treated. "Such an unprecedented response with such a large number willing to consider action should ring alarm bells with the Government. "Midwives and other health workers are seeing their pay falling in real terms as their pay stagnates, pension contributions increase and the cost of living rises." The Department of Health said it was "disappointed" and urged unions to "put patients first". A spokesperson said: "NHS staff are our greatest asset and we know that midwives across the country are working hard. "That's why they should receive at least one per cent additional pay this year and next. "Since May 2010, there are 1,700 more midwives helping expectant mothers and we want to protect these increases. "We cannot afford a general pay rise on top of incremental pay increases without risking the loss of frontline NHS jobs."

Midwives in England say they are prepared to take industrial action over pay.

Youngsters at the G4S-run Medway Secure Training Centre, Rochester, will each have access to a room phone and 20 minutes of credit per day. They are being fitted to help inmates build relationships and call services like the Samaritans and ChildLine. A BBC Panorama investigation uncovered mistreatment claims in January. Currently, an inmate has to wait for a member of staff to bring a phone to their room who then stays with them while they make the call. Unify Business Solutions said the system would be "secure" with all numbers pre-checked to prevent abuse. In February, G4S said it was planning to sell its children's services business including the two secure units at Oakhill, Buckinghamshire, and Medway, Kent. The BBC investigation in January featured undercover footage showing staff mistreating and abusing inmates, and boasting about using inappropriate techniques to restrain youngsters. The abuse claims related to 10 boys. Five men were arrested by Kent Police on suspicion of either child neglect or assault and bailed until April. G4S sacked five members of staff. Three others are currently suspended. The director of the unit, Ralph Marchant, also stepped down at the end of January. Jason Asagba - one of the first people convicted under the new law - was given an 18-month conditional discharge earlier. The move to criminalise the offence followed pressure from victims, politicians and campaigners, who pointed out that in two-and-a-half years only six out of 149 allegations led to a police caution or charge. Now, sharing sexual photos or videos of someone else without their consent can result in up to two years in jail. And since the law was changed, there have already been four convictions. But not everyone agrees the new legislation is proving effective. Folami Prehaye, 45, from Bristol, became a victim of revenge porn when her former partner, Thomas Samuel, posted explicit pictures of her online. He shared the images with her friends, family and strangers, and in September was given a six-month suspended sentence for harassment and distributing indecent images. Miss Prehaye now runs the website Victims of Internet Crime: Speak Out to share her experiences with other victims. She said: "My view is that the new law is definitely not harsh enough. Since it came into force the cases have all ended with people getting suspended sentences. "That is not much of a deterrent. They need to make an example of someone so people realise the seriousness of the crime. "People are not coming forward because they think the outcome will just be a slap on the wrist." Speaking to the BBC before the law was introduced, victim Hazel Higgleton, from Chelmsford, Essex, said she thought the law would deter potential perpetrators. Last year her ex-boyfriend posted a sex tape of them on various pornographic websites. She said: "I think it [the new law] will show the people who are thinking about doing it that if they do it and they get caught, they're going to get done. "That wasn't there before so they were just going to do it anyway." The Ministry of Justice has started a campaign called Be Aware B4 You Share to raise awareness about the new offence. In February, the Revenge Porn Helpline was launched to offer confidential advice and support. Caterina McNulty is a counsellor working with the helpline and said so far it has had about 1,500 calls with victims. She said: "I am pleased to see that it is being taken more seriously. Hopefully the law will make people think twice before posting images online. "Sometimes it is done in anger, or when people are intoxicated. "People need to know if they post this stuff without permission they risk getting a criminal record." Former Lib Dem MP Dr Julian Huppert led the campaign to change the law, but said the real challenge is teaching young people about consent. He said: "The correct solution isn't people being prosecuted, it's people in society realising this behaviour is simply unacceptable. "It is astonishing that this wasn't illegal in the first place." Ms McNulty said revenge porn can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. About 30% of those who contact the helpline are male. The organisation deals with a lot of blackmail and extortion cases, where someone demands money, as well as instances of devices being hacked, she said. "I think a big part of it is that it is so easy to share online these days, but the effects can be so devastating," she added. "Teachers have lost their jobs, people have lost all contact with their families. "And once they are online that's it, the damage has been done." Ms McNulty advised victims to report cases of revenge porn to the police and take with them any evidence, such as screenshots and text messages. "I don't know about you, but it only takes two words to make me smile," David Cameron told the party faithful at this year's Tory conference. "Exit poll." It had, the prime minister told them, been a night of extraordinary advances, and "as dawn rose, a new light - a bluer light - fell across our isles". Not only did the Conservatives gain an outright majority - their first in more than 20 years - but they picked up seats in parts of the country that had long been held by Labour, bringing 74 new Conservative MPs to Parliament. So how did they do it? Some have attributed the party's gains in the North of England to Chancellor George Osborne's Northern Powerhouse strategy. "It's a great time to be a Tory in the North," Chris Green, the new Conservative MP for Bolton West, told BBC Radio 4's The World at One. "Economic recovery, so many other positive things going on, and especially for a town like Bolton, with a proud manufacturing history, and the chancellor and the prime minister talking about the Northern Powerhouse so much, I think goes down very well. Now it's about making the vision of that powerhouse a reality." The Conservative brand is still toxic in many parts of Northern England - and Mr Osborne has been accused of cynically using the Northern Powerhouse as a cover for big cuts to local government funding. But the plan is not just about money - it is about devolving decision-making, on things like health and transport, from Whitehall to closer to where the cash is spent, under the leadership of an elected mayor. And it is Labour council leaders who are working with the chancellor to deliver this vision - and a Labour politician, former transport secretary Lord Adonis, who has been given the task of overseeing the infrastructure projects that will be crucial to its success. Indeed, some of the most sceptical noises about the Northern Powerhouse have come from Conservatives, wary of extra layers of government that will potentially be dominated by their political opponents. "When new models of local government are seen to be imposed on areas, even if more carrot than stick is used, there the danger lurks," Will Wragg, the new Conservative MP for Hazel Grove, in Greater Manchester, told MPs. Veteran backbencher Graham Brady, who used to be the only Conservative MP in Greater Manchester, says: "I think at the moment we simply have to wait and see. "We have to hope, of course, that we end up with a mayor in Greater Manchester who is a sensible, moderate individual who will try and bring the city together rather than being divisive. If that happens then it could be a real step forward and I live in hope. "But I would have liked to have seen some safeguards that sadly aren't there." Another Northern Conservative MP was far more critical, telling me, on condition of anonymity, that the Northern Powerhouse was a vanity project and a piece of rhetoric. As such, they said, it might as well be the hot air that drives the pistons in Manchester's museums. Former Deputy Prime Minister Lord Heseltine - who led government efforts to regenerate Liverpool in the wake of the Toxteth riots in the 1980s and now advises the government on devolution - admits the party has got some persuading to do. "When I was first involved in active politics, we ran all those cities," he says. "There's no doubt the Conservative Party has not found it easy to articulate its philosophy and its policies. I was often asked when I was in Liverpool why do you bother, there are no votes for us there. "First of all it was right to bother. And secondly, if you are seen to be bothering in areas which are not traditionally your heartlands, it influences the judgment of people on a much wider constituency basis, often way away from the actually affected areas." It is difficult to gauge how much impact the Northern Powerhouse actually had at the ballot box in May - a poll by Comres, for the BBC, found two thirds of voters in the North of England had never heard of it. But its hard hat-wearing architect, George Osborne, now has his eyes on a different election - the one to choose a successor to David Cameron, which is set to happen before 2020. Could he do it? "There will be a leadership campaign. I don't know who's going to enter and I don't certainly know who's going to win," says Lord Heseltine. "But I know one thing about the Conservative Party. It is the most successful political force in the history of democracy. It has held power longer than any other equivalent anywhere in the world. "They have a nose for power and winning it. I doubt if it will desert them." The goodies are valued at more than 50,000 euros (£45,400; $59,000). Police think another lorry or van must have towed it away on Saturday night. The candy heist in Neustadt may be linked to the theft of an empty lorry in Weimar, 25km (15.5 miles) away. A fruit juice lorry also fell victim to sticky fingers, earlier on Saturday. That theft happened in Wittenburg, 445km north-east of Neustadt. Michail Antonio's first-half header and a Manuel Lanzini penalty had put West Ham 2-1 up and seemingly on course for only a fourth league win of the season, but Kane's late show emphatically turned the contest on its head. First the England striker turned home from close range after good work down the left by substitute Son Heung-Min, while two minutes later the South Korean was brought down in the area by Havard Nordtveit and Kane tucked away the resulting spot-kick. Earlier, 20-year-old midfielder Harry Winks had equalised for Tottenham on his full Premier League debut, but Lanzini's penalty - awarded after Vincent Janssen pulled back Winston Reid in the area - put West Ham back in the driving seat before Kane intervened. Spurs are now 12 games unbeaten at the start of the season - the last time they managed that was in the 1960-61 season, which ended with the north Londoners claiming a league and cup double. For now Tottenham must content themselves with a fairly modest fifth place in the standings after a run of six wins and six draws, while shell-shocked West Ham - who lost Reid to a second bookable offence in added time - remain 17th and just a point outside the relegation zone. Kane was largely anonymous for much of the match, with the focus and plaudits for the most part falling on midfielder Winks, handed his first start in the league in place of Dele Alli, who was named on the bench after returning from injury. Winks has been in and around the first team for the last couple of years and finally earned a first league start in the intense spotlight of a London derby. In such circumstances do young players show their worth, and on this evidence Winks is set to be a fixture in the Spurs set-up for some considerable time. He looked confident in possession, wanting the ball and using it well. And when the chance came to get on the scoresheet he did not hesitate, lashing home the rebound after Janssen's long-range shot was parried by Darren Randolph. In contrast, Kane had a frustrating 89 minutes but burst to life when his team needed him most. Randolph - who earlier produced a truly stunning save to deny Eric Dier with his side 2-1 up - will be disappointed with his part in the goal, diverting the ball into Kane's path as he attempted to cut out Son's low centre. But he had no chance with Kane's second from the spot - a powerful, confident strike befitting a 20-goals-a-season striker. West Ham more than played their part in a highly entertaining contest, and will return to east London wondering how they managed to not take at least a point with them. Antonio's well-taken header after Cheikhou Kouyate hit the bar gave them the lead against the run of play, but their improved performance after the break meant it was less of a surprise when Lanzini lashed home their second from the penalty spot. In that moment West Ham became the first team to score more than one goal against Spurs in the league this season, and Slaven Bilic's men looked good value for it. But the 72nd-minute entrance of Son for Mousa Dembele proved a turning point. The former Bayer Leverkusen forward first raced past Antonio to deliver a cross via the palm of Randolph that Kane turned home, and was then smart enough to invite a wild challenge from fellow substitute Nordtveit, cutting inside and leaving his standing leg invitingly in the path of the defender's needless lunge. Having already awarded a league-high eight penalties this season, referee Mike Dean made it a ninth. Kane was the gleeful recipient from 12 yards. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "It was really important to get the three points, it was a very tough game, I'm very pleased with the performance. "West Ham were very good and we showed big character and personality, the team always try to find the goal and for that I am very pleased. The players fought until the last minute and the reward was unbelievable. "Harry Kane is always very important, he is our main striker and one of the best strikers in the world. You miss that type of player when he does not play for 10 or 11 games. The table looks much better, we are three points off the top and 12 unbeaten from the beginning." West Ham manager Slaven Bilic says: "We are extremely disappointed and when you are 2-1 up with three minutes to go, to concede two goals is very hard to take. We had three really good opportunities to score the third. "I think we were the better side in the first half hour then we started to lose the ball quite quickly. After we scored (to make it 2-1) that was the crucial time to hold on or score a third. "We had some good counter-attacks and we should have killed the game. We have a tough schedule but we showed we can put in a really good performance." A big week lies in store for Spurs. On Tuesday they travel to Monaco for a vital Champions League group match (19:45 GMT), while on Saturday they have the small matter of a Premier League match at London rivals Chelsea (17:30). West Ham are back in action next Sunday, visiting Manchester United in the Premier League (16:30). Match ends, Tottenham Hotspur 3, West Ham United 2.

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

German world number 30 Siegemund beat France's Kristina Mladenovic in April for her second career WTA title. Maria Sharapova, who made the Stuttgart semi-finals on her return from a 15-month doping ban, could play Eugenie Bouchard in Madrid's second round. The Canadian recently said Sharapova should not have been allowed to return, describing the Russian as "a cheater". Sharapova, who has slipped to 262 in the world, has been given a wildcard for the event in Spain, which runs from 5-14 May. She plays 17th seed Mirjana Lucic-Baroni following a reshuffle of the draw when her original opponent, 13th seed and fellow Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, withdrew due to injury on Friday World number 59 Bouchard plays French world number 44 Alize Cornet. British number one and world number seven Konta, 25, was beaten by Latvia's Anastasija Sevastova in the second round in Stuttgart. Jenny Rowe, chief executive of the Supreme Court, the UK's highest court, has written a review of the selection commission that chooses new justices. There are two justices from Scotland and one from Northern Ireland. "As the body of Welsh law increases I believe that... will require consideration of the appointment of a Welsh justice," said Ms Rowe. The review said the current pragmatic solution was to bring in an acting judge "who is seen as Welsh for any cases which come from Wales". The Supreme Court consists of 12 justices and when a vacancy arises, a selection commission is set up to make an appointment. The next justice due to retire is Lord Toulson, who will stand down in September 2016, followed by a further five in 2018. The mandatory retirement age for Supreme Court justices is 70 if they started after 1993 or 75 if they started before. To be eligible, an individual must either have been a High Court judge for two years or a practising lawyer for at least 15 years. The Constitutional Reform Act requires the selection commission to "ensure that between them the judges will have knowledge of, and experience of practice in, the law of each part of the United Kingdom". Ms Rowe said this is something the next commission will have to take into account "at an early stage of its deliberations and before a vacancy is advertised". However, the review points out that some people believe geographical diversity should not be prioritised over other forms of diversity. A spokesman for First Minister Carwyn Jones said the proposal for a Welsh Supreme Court judge was "long overdue" and the Welsh government had long supported the idea. Harriet Harman said infiltrators were "not clever" but the party's safeguards would ensure the "result will stand". BBC News understands 3,000 applications have been rejected. But there have been claims some are being blocked unfairly. Labour peer Lord McConnell said the situation was a "shambles". Andy Burnham earlier warned "several thousand" Tories might have registered. Mr Burnham, Jeremy Corbyn, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall are standing for leader. More than 120,000 people have signed up to vote, along with more than 189,000 members of unions and other affiliates, bringing the electorate to more than 600,000. New regulations allow members of the public to sign up to vote as a "registered supporter" for £3. Mrs Harman told the BBC: "Because this is the first time we have operated these new rules for electing a Labour leader we have acted constantly on legal advice... "I am absolutely certain that no court would decide that we had done anything other than apply the rules in a rigorous, fair, robust and even-handed way. So whoever is elected, they will be legally elected." Mrs Harman said some Tory supporters were aiming to get a vote. "That is dishonest and that is shameful for people who purportedly believe in democracy and support democracy," she said. Concerns have been raised over the voting process after: Michael Dugher, Mr Burnham's campaign chairman, suggested not enough was being done to address the issue of infiltrators. Mr Burnham's team have written to Labour's general secretary claiming "a Conservative MP, Conservative media commentators, and Conservative councillors" had all been rejected. Ms Cooper said the party should make sure processes are "robust", but she wanted as many people as possible to take part. A spokesman for Mr Corbyn, who polls suggest is the frontrunner, said he had confidence in the management of the election. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Any Questions, Mr Corbyn rejected the suggestion it had been a "summer of blood" for Labour and said the campaign had been "good for democracy and for the party". But Labour's former First Minister of Scotland, Lord McConnell, described the situation as a "shambles" and said it had been a mistake to allow people to continue to register to vote in the contest throughout the summer. He said: "This is a ridiculous situation and I cannot believe that when the initial decision was made in May to open up the membership in this way over the summer that somebody at a higher level in the party, or somebody in one of the three main campaigns didn't express some concerns. "It seems I think in many ways to encapsulate what's wrong with the running of the Labour party over recent years and why we're in this mess in the first place." Responding to suggestions Mr Burnham or Ms Cooper could appeal against the result of the vote, Lord McConnell said he would be "amazed" if the contest had not been legally checked and said it was unlikely it would be run again. Labour says all applications to join as a full member, affiliate, or a supporter are assessed by a verification team. The party says it has 40 staff in Newcastle and 30 at its London HQ working to check applications and anyone who does not support Labour's "aims and values", anyone not registered as an elector at the address they have given or anyone previously excluded from the party would be rejected. MPs, local constituency parties and regional offices are carrying out checks and providing further information. Applicants' social media accounts are also being looked at. Heavy rain fell on Tuesday night, resulting in torrents of water entering the building. All flights in and out of the airport have been cancelled and passengers have been advised to stay away.

Despite being relegated to Division Two of the County Championship, Worcestershire have announced a surplus after tax of £182,412 for the 12-month period ending 31 December, 2015. This compares with a surplus after tax of £58,772 for the previous period. "The year 2015 has again shown promise and progression," said Leatherdale. "We have increased income across membership, tickets and events and we are starting to see the fruits of players being brought through the club's vibrant academy during the last five years, which will only continue. "The club is in a very different and more positive place than five years ago and a great deal of progress has been made. "However, there is still further work to do in what are potentially changing and unpredictable times for cricket, both domestically and globally." Leatherdale, 48, is to leave his post in March to become chief executive at the Professional Cricketers' Association, ending a 30-year association with Worcestershire which began as a player. T20 Blast quarter-finalists Worcestershire have made three overseas signings for the 2016 season. New Zealand fast bowler Matt Henry will be present for the first half of the summer, prior to the arrival of South Africa pace bowler Kyle Abbott, while Kiwi all-rounder Mitchell Santner will play in the T20 Blast. The former secretary of state said she took responsibility and introduced reforms after the attack that killed four Americans, including the US envoy. She deflected criticism that she did not do enough to protect the mission. Her Democratic party says the Republican-led panel is a witch-hunt trying to harm her presidential bid. Despite the committee sitting in four consecutive hours-long sessions on Thursday, the hearing yielded little new information. Mrs Clinton remained composed during the highly-anticipated testimony, amid several heated exchanges between Republicans and her Democrat allies. In her opening statement, she said she had asked Chris Stevens, one of the four killed, to go to Libya as US envoy. "After the attacks I stood next to President Obama as Marines carried his casket," she said. "I took responsibility, and as part of that before I left office I launched reforms to better protect our people in the field and help reduce the chance of another tragedy happening in the future." Five key questions on the latest Benghazi hearing Mrs Clinton said her appearance was her way of honouring the lives lost, and she called on those present to put national security above partisan politics. Democratic Representative Elijah Cummings, seated next to the chairman, said Republicans were wasting taxpayer money in an effort to derail Mrs Clinton's presidential campaign. But Mr Gowdy denied his committee was going after Mrs Clinton. Instead, he said, it was looking for the truth behind the diplomatic compound's unsuccessful requests for more security and personnel in the build up to the attacks. Mrs Clinton is defending her record before, during and after the Benghazi attacks largely as she has before - taking responsibility for the mistakes, talking about lessons learned, and owning her policy positions. The new element is her email record, which she has downplayed. She told lawmakers that most of her work on Libya and Benghazi wasn't done by email, mentioning an occasion when an intelligence report had to be carried to her by briefcase and read on the spot. The tone has been largely measured, and the testiest exchange didn't actually involve Mrs Clinton. Committee chairman Trey Gowdy has latched onto the role of a Clinton friend, Sidney Blumenthal, who sent her numerous intelligence reports on Libya by email. He's suggesting Mr Blumenthal unduly influenced her Libya policy and had greater access to her than her Benghazi ambassador, Chris Stevens, who was killed. Democratic committee members erupted in denial and demanded Mr Blumenthal's testimony transcripts be released, while Mrs Clinton looked on detached and bemused There have already been seven congressional investigations into the attack, by suspected Islamist militants, on the US compound in the Libyan city of Benghazi on 11 September 2012. The raid led to the deaths of ambassador Chris Stevens and three other US embassy staff. Mrs Clinton said Mr Stevens was well aware of the risks of his job but withdrawing American presence from Libya would have been a mistake, she said. "To retreat from the world is not an option. America cannot shrink from our ability to lead." When the US pulls out of places, extremists gain a foothold, she added, although she did admit that security requests made by the Benghazi consulate were not met. An independent review board found deficiencies within the State Department that the Obama administration has tried to fix, said the former first lady. Observers say this was a key moment for Mrs Clinton, who solidified her position as the Democrats' frontrunner for presidential candidate after her potential rival, Vice-President Joe Biden, ruled himself out of the race on Wednesday. The Republicans on the committee were also under pressure to prove they had good reason to bring Mrs Clinton before them, and were not just using it as an excuse to undermine her presidential candidacy. One thing that was unearthed by the committee's work was the former secretary of state's use of a private email server, which has dogged her 2016 campaign ever since. What are the possible consequences for Clinton? The committee does not have the power to punish but depending on the conclusions there could be political consequences for Hillary Clinton, which might affect her presidential campaign What did Clinton know about security requests? She has said in previous testimony that requests for additional security didn't reach her level. But she has taken responsibility for the failure. And the State Department review laid out steps to improve security at diplomatic missions. What did the other Congressional committees find? This is the eighth congressional investigation. Previous committees criticised Mrs Clinton and the Obama administration on a number of points, especially the poor security at the Benghazi mission. And the intelligence was flawed. What is there left to discover? The committee has suggested there will be new evidence of how poorly the state department responded to security requests for the Benghazi mission, and new evidence on how the military responded to the attack. Read Barbara Plett Usher's answers in full As part of its recent report on the energy market, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said that such websites would no longer be required to show all the deals on offer. But the MPs said that would undermine consumer trust, and harm competition. The CMA rules will allow sites only to show deals on which they earn money. This reverses a decision by the regulator Ofgem. In January 2015, it ruled that comparison sites should show all the deals available - including those on which the site did not earn any commission. The websites include Moneysupermarket, Uswitch and Comparethemarket. "Price comparison websites must do what they say on the tin," said Angus MacNeil, the chair of the Energy and Climate Change Committee. "Consumers expect price comparison sites to shine a light on the whole market, not keep them in the dark and push them into commission earning deals." Smaller energy suppliers have also complained about the CMA's new rules, as they fear the big six energy companies will become even more visible to consumers, while they will be excluded. In a hearing before the MPs earlier this month, Roger Witcomb, chair of the CMA's energy market investigation panel, sought to justify the new rules. He said the job of price comparison sites was to provide better deals for customers, not to provide a snapshot of the whole market. He said Citizens Advice already had a website which did that. The letter has gone to the new Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Greg Clark. The Chinese firm, which handles more transactions than Amazon and eBay combined, reported a net income of 71bn yuan ($11bn; £7.6bn) for the year to 31 March, up 193% on the previous year. Sales rose by a third to 101bn yuan, with sales on mobile devices up 182%. "Alibaba Group finished the fiscal year on a very strong note," said chief executive Daniel Zhang. "Whatever they are doing must be working, and most importantly it's a sign that the Chinese consumer may not be weakening quite yet," said Gil Luria of Wedbush Securities. Despite the strong rise in sales, the company has struggled to reach the growth levels it recorded before it became a public company two years ago. It faces strong competition from local rival websites like Baidu, Tencent and JD.com. Shares have also lost more than a third of their value since the company held its record initial public offering in 2014. The company's original business was Alibaba.com, set up by the company's colourful founder, Jack Ma, in 1999. It helps to connect exporters in China (and other countries) with companies in over 190 countries around the world. The business now includes entertainment services, including China's version of YouTube, Youku Tudou, as well as payment systems and cloud computing and logistics services. Increasingly, Mr Ma is looking to counter the company's reliance on Chinese consumers, with the firm now looking to get up to half of its sales from abroad. Among recent deals to expand was the purchase of South East Asia e-commerce start-up Lazada and Hong Kong's well-respected English language, the South China Morning Post. Another area of potential growth investors are excited about is its payment platform Alipay. Alipay is operated by affiliate Zhejiang Ant Small & Micro Financial Services Group, also known as Ant Financial. Mr Ma controls Ant, which is China's biggest online financial services firm, and is said to be worth around $60bn following its latest fundraising round. Sears Holdings, the department store group which owns the two major retail chains, blamed falling sales. In the eight weeks to Christmas Day, sales at Kmart fell 4.4% and by 6% at Sears. The company, which has 2,200 outlets in the US, says the closures should raise up to $170m (£108.5m; 130m euros). It added that it expected fourth-quarter earnings to be less than half of last year's amount. Retail analyst Howard Davidowitz told the BBC that the news came as no surprise: "Sears took their cash flow and used it to buy back shares instead of enhancing their offer to the customer. This has proven to be a disastrous investment that was made even though the company has been losing market share every single quarter for the past four years." Both Sears and Kmart have experienced a decline in demand for consumer electronics, amid fears of another US recession. Kmart has also reported a decline in clothing sales over the same period. Chief executive Lou D'Ambrosio said: "Given our performance and the difficult economic environment, especially for big-ticket items, we intend to implement a series of actions to reduce ongoing expenses, adjust our asset base, and accelerate the transformation of our business model." The results point to "deepening problems at this struggling chain and renewed worries about Sears survivability," said Gary Balter, an analyst at Credit Suisse. "The extent of the weakness may be larger than expected, but the reasons behind it are not. It begins, and some would argue ends, with Sears' reluctance to invest in stores and service." The firm's third quarter sales saw the company post a loss due to weakness in its Canadian stores, soft electronics sales and struggles in clothing and pharmaceutical sales at its Kmart unit. The board of the Jewish Agency, which facilitates Jewish immigration to Israel, said it "deplored" the move. It also rebuked ministers for backing a controversial conversions law. Both decisions were taken in response to pressure from ultra-Orthodox parties in Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition. The Western Wall is a remnant of the retaining wall of the mount on which the biblical Jewish temples once stood, and is one of the most sacred sites in Judaism. Every year, millions of Jews from all over the world visit the wall to pray. It is administered by the Orthodox rabbinate and, in accordance with Orthodox tradition, men and women must pray in separate areas. For years the more liberal Reform and Conservative movements, which have large followings outside Israel, campaigned for a mixed-gender prayer space. Since 2013, a temporary prayer area for mixed worship was opened at the southern end of the wall and in 2016, Mr Netanyahu's cabinet voted in favour of plans to upgrade it. But after two ultra-Orthodox parties in the coalition raised objections to the plans, ministers voted at a meeting on Sunday to suspend their implementation. The parties, Shas and United Torah Judaism, said the decision reflected "the will of most of the nation that seeks to safeguard the Western Wall's sanctity and status". Later, a ministerial committee also voted to advance a bill that would grant the Orthodox Chief Rabbinate a monopoly over Jewish conversion in Israel. Under the proposed legislation, the state would no longer be able to recognise conversions carried out by independent Orthodox rabbinical courts and would be prevented from recognising non-Orthodox conversions in the future. Critics said it could potentially affect hundreds of thousands of Israelis. On Monday morning, the Jewish Agency's board of governors announced that it had cancelled a scheduled dinner with Mr Netanyahu in light of both decisions. The board later passed a resolution warning that the "dangerous and damaging steps" had a "deep potential to divide the Jewish people". "We call upon the government of Israel to understand the gravity of its steps and reverse its course of action accordingly," it added. The United Jewish Appeal-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York said the Israeli government's actions "would destroy the fundamental principle that Israel, our Jewish homeland, is a place where all Jews can and must feel at home". Women of the Wall (WOW), a liberal group that campaigns for the right of women to perform the same prayer rituals as Orthodox men there, said Sunday had been a "terrible day for women in Israel" and accused Mr Netanyahu of "kow-towing to a handful of religious extremists". Cabinet Secretary Tzachi Braverman later issued a statement stressing that it was important to Mr Netanyahu that "every Jew is able to pray at the Western Wall" and that he had issued three directives on Sunday which had "gone unnoticed". "First, the prime minister instructed that work to prepare the southern plaza be expedited so that Jews from all streams may pray at the Western Wall. Second, that Jews from all streams be able to continue praying there - as they are able to do today. Third, the prime minister instructed Minister Tzachi Hanegbi and me to continue dialogue in order to try and reach a solution," the statement said. "I recommend that those trying to exploit this issue be precise with the facts." The hosts led inside a minute when Shinji Okazaki tapped in after new Seagulls goalkeeper Mathew Ryan spilled a low effort from the impressive Riyad Mahrez. Brighton's Glenn Murray had a goal disallowed for offside before the break but, in truth, the newly promoted side offered little threat as they fell to a second successive defeat in the top tier. Maguire - who saw more of the ball than any Leicester player - rose at the back post to head in a Mahrez corner after the break, effectively ending the contest and ensuring the Foxes responded from last week's 4-3 defeat at Arsenal. Craig Shakespeare's side produced an efficient display without ever seeming to build relentless pressure, but their day was soured a little in injury time when Jamie Vardy was forced to hobble off after contesting a 50-50 ball with Ryan. Vardy proved a willing runner throughout and had a fine chance of his own in the opening period but failed to make a solid connection after Okazaki had pulled the ball back to him about 10 yards out. Okazaki looked lively early on, dropping in behind Vardy with both sides playing 4-4-1-1, and he found himself perfectly placed when Ryan failed to hold a Mahrez strike which was straight at him. It was the first goal scored inside a minute of the Premier League season and summed up why Leicester fans will hope interest in Mahrez from Roma cools as he drifted past defenders graciously in the build-up. It gave Leicester the platform to play safe football against a Brighton side who never looked capable of taking the risks to open them up and Maguire's goal summed up the simplicity of the victory as he out-jumped Shane Duffy to nod in. The summer signing from Hull City seemed comfortable alongside central defensive partner Wes Morgan and already looks like astute business at £17m. Immediate thoughts will focus on the fitness of Vardy, though Shakespeare played down any worry over the ankle injury afterwards. Vardy's energy remains critical to Shakespeare's side, who will surely believe they can offer more than they did in this scrappy showing, where they saw less of the ball and were less accurate with it than the visitors. Chris Hughton's side had 55% of possession and completed 83% of their passes compared to 78% achieved by their hosts. However, their cutting edge was minimal and they managed just two shots on target. Substitute Tomer Hemed went closest, forcing a diving save from Kasper Schmeichel from 25 yards. The Israeli replaced Glenn Murray, who finished smartly in the first half only to be correctly ruled offside. There will be moments Hughton can cling to. His side had a shout for a penalty when Morgan used a combination of chest and arm to block from Jamie Murphy before the break and they also looked solid in their shape without the ball. But they seemed to lack the ability to turn that disciplined structure into any form of attacking force and the former Newcastle boss will surely know this defeat is another lesson on the way to finding what is needed at the top level. Mistakes such as Ryan's at such key moments cannot happen - though there is much to look forward to, not least the debut of record signing Jose Izquierdo, who joined in midweek. Hughton has broken the club's transfer record three times this summer and brought in players from leagues across Europe. His side looked like a unit yet to gel but they will have easier fixtures than a visit from Manchester City and a trip to the 2015-16 champions. Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare: "When you get a start like that it's very pleasing. It was hard to break them down today but it was a professional performance to the end. "It didn't feel as comfortable as the stats suggest. We learned cruelly about game management last week [in the 4-3 defeat by Arsenal], but to get the first win under the belt was the main thing." Media playback is not supported on this device Brighton & Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton: "We didn't help ourselves and the timing of both goals was very detrimental to our style of play. "We've got to keep possession, we need to get into shape but we had ample opportunity over the 90 minutes to do better. They aren't a side who really opened us up, but where they needed to be sharper and keep possession they did. That's what we need to learn. "We'll look to add to the squad. We'll work as hard as we can through to the end of window to make this team and squad as good as we can."

The EC will look into clauses in Amazon's contracts that require publishers to inform the US firm about deals they have with its rivals. Amazon, which owns the Kindle e-reader, is already under pressure over low tax rates it pays in Luxembourg. New EC Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager has begun looking into several US giants. Her department is probing the tax affairs of Apple and Starbucks, and in April she launched a formal investigation into Google's online business practices. She said on Thursday that the agreements Amazon strikes with publishers could make it more difficult for other e-book distributors to compete. Ms Vestager said in a statement: "It is my duty to make sure that Amazon's arrangements with publishers are not harmful to consumers, by preventing other e-book distributors from innovating and competing effectively with Amazon. Our investigation will show if such concerns are justified." Her tougher stance against US multinationals has drawn criticism that she has been targeting American businesses, although she denied this in a BBC interview earlier this month. However, President Barack Obama, whose administration is negotiating a new transatlantic free trade deal with the 28-nation European Union, warned earlier this year against Europe turning to protectionism to the detriment of the US technology sector.

Ronnie Frost, 19, of High Street, Halmer End, and Joe Cordon, 21, of Eastbourne Road, Northwood, were arrested on Sunday night. They were charged with directing or shining a light at aircraft in flight so as to dazzle or distract the pilot. The men are due to appear at North Staffordshire Justice Centre on 17 November. More from Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire The helicopter was over the Northwood area searching for a missing person at the time. A young man and woman were caught on CCTV entering the popular seafront park via the ice cream kiosk at about 01:00 BST on Thursday. Operations manager Nigel McNeely says the pair used a golf club to break in and they spent nearly an hour "trashing" the place. "Considerable" damage was caused and the park was closed on Thursday. Mr McNeely told the BBC: "They entered the ice cream kiosk via the window and subsequently served themselves ice cream before going on a rampage." He said they were still "assessing the loss" but there was "quite a lot of broken glass and damage to equipment", including the fire alarm and sensors. The vandals tried to gain access to a till in the cafe but had "no joy", he said. Mr McNeely said several schools were closed in the County Down town on Thursday because of the election, and in addition to the loss of business, staff members due to work had lost out on pay. "We are working hard to get things put back together and hopefully reopen for normal business on Friday," he added. A PSNI spokesman said: "Police in Bangor are investigating a burglary at commercial premises at Marine Gardens in the early hours of Thursday 8 June. At this stage it is unclear if anything has been stolen. "Police would ask anyone with any information to contact them in Bangor on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111." The combined event will include the finals of the Davis Cup and Fed Cup. The hard court event would be held at the Palexpo convention centre for three years from November 2018. "Change is needed to ensure that we maximise the full potential of these iconic and historic competitions," said ITF president David Haggerty. Geneva was chosen by the ITF board at its meeting in Frankfurt from a shortlist of six that also included Copenhagen (Denmark), Miami (USA), Istanbul (Turkey), Turin (Italy), and Wuhan (China). The ITF AGM will be asked to approve the full reform package at its meeting in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in August 2017. It is proposed initially that the season-ending event will run for three years and could also include the semi-finals of the Fed Cup, meaning the competition would expand from eight teams to 16. "The creation of the World Cup of Tennis finals is at the heart of a series of reforms that represent the most significant changes in the history of Davis Cup and Fed Cup," added Haggerty. "We've consulted widely and listened carefully, and believe we will deliver an exceptional new event for fans, players and nations." Argentina are the Davis Cup holders and the Czech Republic won the Fed Cup in 2016. The plans have been greeted with dismay by some tennis players, including Jamie Murray's Brazilian doubles partner Bruno Soares and Australian world number 187 Sam Groth. Soares tweeted that the "ITF itself is slowly killing the competition", while Groth said the ITF "had lost the plot". Police found the 45-year-old man who has not been named, on Ash Street in Cheadle Heath at about 21:00 BST on Saturday. He was taken to hospital but died from his injuries. A 48-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man are in police custody, Greater Manchester Police said. Det Supt Joanne Rawlinson said there had been "an altercation" in the street and appealed for witnesses to come forward. The performance of AIB, which is still owned by the Irish state, included a 'write-back' of 925m euros (£716m) previously set aside to cover bad loans. The UK division of bank, which contains First Trust, made an operating profit of £166m compared to £67m in 2014. First Trust is one of the so-called 'big four' banks in Northern Ireland. It operates 30 branches. It contributed £47m to AIB's UK profit, with £87m from the business in Great Britain and £32m in write-backs. The bank said the Republic of Ireland's projected economic growth of 5% for next year will continue to provide a positive domestic environment for its business. It added that the prospect of the UK leaving the European Union after the planned referendum on British membership in June is "fraught with economic uncertainty and the full impact cannot be predicted".

What the Butler Saw was written the year he died and challenged people's attitudes towards homosexuality, at a time when it was still illegal. Now open at the Curve Theatre, Leonie Orton-Barnett said his plays were still important today. "He would have loved this," she said. "He came home to Leicester a lot to visit family and touch base with people. "He drew a lot of his material from being around working class people, seeing how they lived and talked to one another." The play has previously been performed in London and Manchester. Artistic director at the Curve Theatre, Nikolai Foster, said: "He was a working class kid from Leicester who helped change the course of British theatre so it is really significant we are stage here and on the 50th anniversary of his death. "Orton's work was ahead of his time and it's still ahead of its time now." The latest production stars actor and comedian Rufus Hound in the lead role of Dr. Prentice. It runs until 18 March.

Swimmers have been warned by Brighton and Hove City Council to stay away from the sea over the winter. The beach around Brighton Pier will be closed in a bid to stop swimmers entering the water on Christmas Day, the council said. Chris Ingall said inexperienced swimmers entering the water were "an accident waiting to happen". Mr Ingall, the seafront manager, said: "Sea swimming takes skill, stamina and knowledge of the physical dangers and should only be for the very experienced, using suitable wetsuits, in very calm conditions. "The combination of the amount of people and their inexperience, and some of the drinking as well, it's an accident waiting to happen, and accidents have happened." Brighton Swimming Club has been organising the swim on 25 December since 1860. Dozens normally take part in the event in the English Channel at 11:00 GMT near Brighton Pier. Fiona Southwell, from the club, said those entering the water were risking their lives. She said: "Those people jumping in on Christmas morning are totally unaware of the environment they're jumping into, as well as the sea temperature." The former first minister said it would put Nicola Sturgeon in a powerful position in negotiations over the UK's exit from the European Union. His comments came ahead of the UK's biggest constitutional case in decades. The Supreme Court is due to decide how the UK government can trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, beginning the process of leaving the EU. In the case that will begin on Monday, it will also hear evidence on whether Holyrood should give its consent to the process. On the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland, Mr Salmond was asked what would happen if the judges ruled in favour of a legislative consent motion. He said: "It would certainly be a constitutional crisis that would have to be resolved. "It's true that the House of Commons could try to invoke an override clause but of course you've got to remember that the House of Commons, the MPs, are more or less lined up in favour of Brexit because of the result of the referendum. "But that's an altogether different thing if you start saying we're going to overturn a legislative consent motion or for that matter have a guillotine in constitutional legislation. The votes change given the question being asked. "And certainly it would result in a constitutional crisis and that crisis might be an extremely good thing for Scotland because it would put us in an extremely powerful position in terms of securing the interests of Scotland in the negotiations." UK chancellor Philip Hammond angered the Scottish government last week when he appeared to rule out a special deal for Scotland in Brexit negotiations during the visit north of the border. Mr Salmond, the SNP's foreign affairs spokesman at Westminster, predicted that Mr Hammond would "beat a road back to Edinburgh and adopt an altogether different tone" if the Supreme Court ruled in favour of a legislative consent motion. The Scottish Conservatives branded Mr Salmond's comments a "shameless admission". Their chief whip John Lamont said: "This is Alex Salmond confirming what we already knew. The SNP is quite happy with constitutional upheaval so long as it forwards its separation goals. "This is a shameless admission, and perhaps explains why the SNP didn't bother campaigning hard during the EU referendum." Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said it proved the SNP "thrives" on constitutional crisis. She said both the Conservatives and the SNP were putting the union at risk. "More than ever, we have two governing parties in Scotland that are out of step with what the majority of people in Scotland want," she said. "The Tories want Scotland in the UK and out of Europe, and the SNP wants Scotland in the EU, but out of the UK. Continuing to pull our country in each of these directions risks breaking the union once and for all." The leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats Willie Rennie MSP said: "Alex Salmond's comments confirm that the SNP are only using the European issue to advance independence." They say Michael Vance died in the "dramatic" shootout on Sunday night nearly Leedey, west of Oklahoma City. The 38-year-old suspect earlier in the day shot and wounded a police officer, triggering a police chase. Last week he posted two Facebook videos after wounding two police officers. He is suspected of killing two relatives. Vance had indicated he intended to target several people linked to a sexual assault case against him. "Letting y'all know, look, this is real," the suspect, wearing a blood-soaked shirt, said in one of the Facebook videos, which police believe was filmed inside a police car he had stolen during last week's shooting of the two officers. "If you want to know what's up next, stay tuned to your local news," said Vance. He had been recently released from Lincoln County Jail in Oklahoma, where he was being held on an allegation of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl. Vance, according to the Oklahoman newspaper, had been scheduled to appear in court next month to face the felony charges. The piglet was nestled among straw used by mustangs, but the stables owner has no idea where it came from. Martine Lettau, from Tuddenham St Mary in Suffolk, said: "Mustangs are quite renowned for seeing off predators." The piglet was taken to a nearby pig farm, but its manager said it was "unlikely" it had come from there originally. Ms Lettau said she found the piglet "rustling and squeaking" in the stable on Monday morning. "The only thing I can imagine is that a fox carried the piglet off when it was born, carried it over a mile here and happened to come through the paddock," she said. "The foals might have then chased the fox off and the piglet got herded into the stable. "When I found the piglet and it started squealing, some of the mustangs came over from the paddock to see what I was doing to it, so they must have taken ownership." Ms Lettau said she took the piglet to a neighbouring farm in the Mildenhall area. The farm manager, who did not wish to be identified, said that as it was only a day old he could not confirm if it had been born in one of his fields, but the piglet had put it with a sow and it was weaning. He said: "I think it would be highly unlikely for a fox to carry a piglet for a mile, let alone for it to have no mark or injury as a result. "If the piglet's temperature dropped by even a couple of degrees it would not have survived." The teenager is charged with the murder of James Attfield, 33, and Nahid Almanea, 31, in Colchester, Essex. Guildford Crown Court heard there was "no dispute" he killed the victims. The boy, who cannot be named because of his age, has admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility but denies murder. Prosecutor Philip Bennetts told the court material had been found on the teenager's phone and at his home about serial killers including Sutcliffe and "Stockwell Strangler" Kenneth Erskine. DVDs about Sutcliffe, and films including horror series Wrong Turn and Snowtown - inspired by a real-life string of killings in Australia - were found by police when they searched the boy's home. He had also used his phone to look up a report into a man who had killed several elderly victims and had entered a diminished responsibility plea. After his arrest in May last year, the defendant told police he "heard voices telling him to sacrifice people", Mr Bennetts said. He was detained after a member of the public called police to report someone acting suspiciously near the site where Saudi Arabian student Ms Almanea, 31, was found dead on Salary Brook Trail. Mr Attfield, 33, was found with 102 knife wounds three months beforehand in Castle Park. Both victims had been found with stab wounds around their left eyes, something the court heard was "quite uncommon". Mr Bennetts told the court during the course of the trial, which is set to last one week, a psychiatrist would argue that the teenager was able to form rational judgements at the time of the killings. Judge Robin Spencer QC told jury members they had to decide whether the accused was suffering from diminished responsibility at the time of the killings in 2014. On the first day of the trial, the defendant changed his plea to a third charge, of possessing an offensive weapon, to guilty. The trial continues. Michael Jordan McGuire, 19, from Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, also had to pay £1,000 costs in a hearing at Swansea Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. Police said the order also stopped McGuire from entering towns and cities where Swansea or Wales were playing. They added that McGuire contested their court application to ban him. A spokesman said the court was shown video footage of McGuire during disorder at three games - Wolves versus Swansea in 2008, Swansea versus Charlton Athletic in 2009, and Swansea versus Leicester City last year. The court was also shown photographs from the Swansea versus Cardiff City fixture in 2009. The order was made on the basis that McGuire caused or contributed to violence and disorder at these matches, said South Wales Police. Police said the court agreed he should be banned despite having never been arrested or convicted of football-related violence. They said the ban extended to matches in the UK which were regulated under the Football Spectators Act 1989. Supt Phil Davies of Swansea police said: "South Wales Police can, and will, pursue civil banning orders against those who are frequently and actively engaged in incidents of disorder at football events regardless of whether they have been arrested or convicted. "I'm sure no Swansea City fans will want to miss any of this season's Premier League fixtures and therefore this case should be a deterrent to anyone thinking of getting involved in disorder. "The feedback we have had following the opening three matches of this season has been extremely positive, including positive comments from Greater Manchester Police on the behaviour of the Swans fans and from Sunderland fans about the good atmosphere during their visit to Swansea last weekend." Lewis became the first NFL player to score on a kick-off return, pass and run in a play-off game. His team will face Kansas or Pittsburgh next week for a Super Bowl place. In Saturday's other match, the Atlanta Falcons made the NFC title game by beating the Seattle Seahawks 36-20. Media playback is not supported on this device The Falcons, who had lost 26-24 at Seattle in the regular season, will play either Dallas or Green Bay on January 22 for a berth in the Super Bowl. Lewis scored on a 98-yard kick-off return, caught a 13-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tom Brady and ran for a one-yard touchdown in the final quarter. Brady finished 18-of-38 for 287 yards with two interceptions for the Patriots, who are chasing their fifth Super Bowl championship. In Atlanta, quarterback Ryan threw for three touchdowns as the Falcons overpowered the Seahawks. Ryan - the favourite to win the MVP award - has won both his play-off games against the Seahawks but is winless in four post-season starts against other NFL teams. It is the story of a wily political operator, backing the right political horses and shifting allegiances when expedient. Given slightly different circumstances, according to one observer, it could have seen Ibori in the presidential villa rather than a British jail cell. Ibori's defence in the face of allegations had always been that he had a successful business career and had made money independent of government. But in 1991, he was working in a hardware store in the London suburb of Neasden. The prosecution in this trial told a judge he was earning around £15,000 ($24,000) a year. He was caught by his employer allowing his wife to walk through the till he was manning without paying for goods. They both pleaded guilty at Isleworth Crown Court and were fined. In 1992, he was convicted for possession of a stolen credit card, which had £1,000 spent on it, and was again fined in a UK court. Ibori then returned to Nigeria intending to become a political operator. The country was about to be tipped into a tumultuous period. Military leader Ibrahim Babangida had scheduled elections to return Nigeria to democracy in June 1993. Ibori worked for the governorship campaign of a friend. The experience gave him good connections with the parties that would eventually merge to form the People's Democratic Party, currently ruling Nigeria. The 1993 elections were cancelled by Mr Babangida. Later that year, Gen Sani Abacha staged a coup, cementing the military's grip on power for another five years. According to Antony Goldman, who worked as a journalist in Nigeria for many years and has followed Ibori's career closely, this is when Ibori made his first shift of political master, offering his services to Abacha. "He had an unspecified role in security," Mr Goldman said. "That could be anything, it was a very murky business." Abacha was accused of murdering political opponents and ruthlessly crushing dissent and pro-democracy movements. In the mid-1990s, Ibori was questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in the US about how he came into the possession of millions of dollars that he transferred to accounts in the US. The FBI suspected the money came from advance fee fraud, the infamous Nigerian 419 scam, but he was able to prove the money came from his work with Abacha, Mr Goldman said. Abacha died in 1998 and Ibori switched horses again, attaching himself to influential northern politician Atiku Abubakar, who went on to become vice-president. In 1999, Ibori took out a mortgage on a property in Abbey Road, London. To do that, he got a new passport with a false birth date to mask his previous convictions. The birth date he chose was in fact medically impossible as it was only a month after his sister's birthday, the prosecution told the court. Ibori was installed as the governor of the oil-rich Delta State in the 1999 elections. In order to take office in Nigeria, he had to swear an affidavit that he had no convictions. To do this, he used the same birth date he had made up to acquire his mortgage. It was this evidence that would, in a London court 14 years later, spell the end for Ibori. Soon after he became governor, Ibori paid off the Abbey Road mortgage in cash. He went on to buy three other properties in the UK. He paid £2.2 million in cash for a house in the plush London suburb of Hampstead. In 2005 the Metropolitan Police began to take an interest in Ibori after they came across a purchase order for a private jet, made through his solicitor in London. It was just after this that Ibori shifted horses again, switching his allegiance from Mr Abubakar to the then President Olusegun Obasanjo. In 2006, President Obasanjo recruited Ibori to help him force through a change in the constitution to allow him to run for a third term as president. When that plan failed, Ibori promised his allegiance to Mr Obasanjo's anointed successor, Umaru Yar'Adua. At the ruling party's pre-election convention in 2006, Ibori was on hand to lift up the northern governor's hands in a display of victory - hours before delegates from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) voted to select him as their candidate. Ibori is then accused of bankrolling the 2007 Yar'Adua election campaign, although this has been denied. Mr Goldman says he understands Ibori was promised the vice-president's job, in return for his support. But Mr Yar'Adua, who had been ill for many years, died in office. His Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan succeeded him and remains Nigeria's president. Despite being a fellow former governor of a neighbouring oil state, Ibori and Mr Jonathan were by now political enemies. In 2010, President Jonathan set the country's anti-corruption police, the Economic and Financial Crimes commission on him, but their officers were ambushed when they came to arrest him. Ibori left Nigeria shortly afterwards. He went to Dubai, whose government arrested him and transferred him to the UK to face trial. Mr Goldman says had Yar'Adua lived, and made Ibori his vice-president, he would have had a clear run to become president. "Then Mr Ibori would have met Queen Elizabeth at the state house, instead of serving at her pleasure," Mr Goldman said. More than 250 riders, including 2016 Downhill World Champions Danny Hart and Rachel Atherton, will be competing. This year, Salisbury-born Atherton is seeking a 15th successive World Cup circuit win. The Fort William competition forms the third stage of the UCI World Cup Downhill championships. Held at Nevis Range, the weekend of events usually draws a crowd of almost 20,000 people. Atherton won the women's final for the ninth consecutive time last year, and South African Greg Minaar won the men's final. Sam Davies starts at fly-half instead of Biggar, who is joined as a replacement by Wales team-mate, lock Alun Wyn Jones. Paul James returns at prop following injury and flanker Justin Tipuric leads the Welsh region at open-side. Former New Zealand full-back Mils Muliaina makes his Zebre debut after joining from Connacht in the summer. Ospreys lie eighth with three wins from eight competition starts this season while Zebre are 11th win two wins. Biggar came off in their 13-6 win over Cardiff Blues because of a back problem. Hooker Baldwin (calf) and prop James (shoulder) missed that game because of injuries suffered in Ospreys' 34-29 European Champions Cup defeat at Clermont Auvergne. Ospreys' ex-New Zealand scrum-half Brendan Leonard will return to Zebre for the first time since joining from the Italian team before the 2015-16 season. Head coach Steve Tandy hopes Ospreys' recent form will continue to improve against Zebre. "They've got an excellent record at their place, are a very dangerous side, and if we are just a couple of percent off our game then we won't get what we need from the game," said. "Our slow start in the Pro12 means there's no margin for error for us. Our form over the last few weeks, in the league and in Europe, has been better, but there is still some way for us to go."

Mr Wallace's resignation will take effect from 31 December. Hackney Council said its investigation into the allegations would continue. Mr Wallace, an executive principal, was suspended on full pay in July and, in his absence, the five schools he managed - Burbage, Whitmore, Mandeville, London Fields and Woodberry Down - were run by their individual head teachers and Hackney Learning Trust (HLT). At the time a statement on the federation's website said Mr Wallace was "always open" about his connection with C2 Technology and the "contract was judged on its value and its quality". Following his letter of resignation Mr Wallace said his job was the "hardest thing I ever did - but also the best. It is a job I am very proud to have done." He also said he hoped that under the new leadership all five schools would gain and maintain "outstanding" grading from Ofsted. Councillor Rita Krishna, Hackney Council Cabinet Member for Education and Children's Services, said: "Our priority is to ensure that children's education is not disrupted. "Steve Belk, former Chief Executive of The Learning Trust, has been appointed to support Best Start Federation until the investigation process has concluded. "We will publish the findings of the investigation in due course which will include any relevant disciplinary action in its recommendations." Previously, education secretary Michael Gove described Mr Wallace as one of a "magnificent seven" head teachers running outstanding schools in deprived areas. The 26-year-old, who became well known as Lady Sybil Crawley, will play Ophelia in the production at the Almeida Theatre in London. Sherlock actor Andrew Scott will play Hamlet in the 400-year-old Shakespeare play while Juliet Stevenson will play Hamlet's mother Gertrude. Robert Icke will direct the production, which opens in February. Brown Findlay has also previously appeared in Jamaica Inn, Misfits and The Outcast, with film credits including Winter's Tale and The Riot Club.

The women were assaulted as they walked home after a night out in Portsmouth at 23:30 BST on Easter Sunday. The victims, who were in a group of eight, say they were set upon by seven men who shouted homophobic abuse before kicking and punching them. One woman lost seven teeth when she was punched in the face. The women, who wish to remain anonymous, said others in their group were punched, kicked and stamped during the assault on Kingston Road. In a joint statement, they said: "This was a brutal homophobic attack on innocent women trying to get home after a night out." The group said they were singing "I'm in the mood for dancing" as they walked home from a karaoke night in the North End area of the city when a man ran towards one of them, a 25 year old, and punched her in the temple. When her 23-year-old friend tried to come to her aid, she was hit in the face, knocking out seven of her teeth and breaking her jaw. A 32-year-old woman "was quickly surrounded by seven men, she tried to cover her face while being hit and grabbed as another woman pleaded for them to stop," the women said. "Once they had finished attacking [her], they threw her against the shutters on which she was previously beaten." She was left with extensive bruising to her breasts and upper body. The victims said the men then attacked a 27-year-old woman who had tried to intervene. "She was kicked to the floor, following this her head was stamped on," they said. Another woman, 21, was punched, leaving her with a black eye. The 25-year-old victim also sustained a black eye, as well as bruised kidneys and liver and a dislocated knee and shoulder. The group added: "All involved have been left with injuries and many left emotionally scared. "We are angered but overall we are fiercely upset. Innocent women trying to get home to their families should not be disgustingly attacked due to being homosexual." Hampshire Constabulary has appealed for witnesses to come forward. The force said a 27-year-old man from Portsmouth was arrested on suspicion of affray. A 23-year-old man, a 25-year-old man and a 26-year-old man, all from London, were arrested on suspicion of assault causing actual bodily harm. All four men have been released but remain under investigation. Players are allowed to enter eight tournaments based on the ranking they had before a long-term injury lay off. Robson made her comeback from a wrist injury in June having not competed since the 2014 Australian Open. The 21-year-old was a wildcard entry at Wimbledon, losing 6-4 6-4 in the first round to Evgeniya Rodina. She is currently competing in an ITF tournament in Granby, Canada, which is a level below the WTA Tour, and is set to play Naomi Osaka on Wednesday night in the first round at about 00:00 BST. Should she win, it would be the Briton's first singles victory since September 2013. Robson ended 2013 ranked 46 in the world but her absence from the sport means she is now 913 in the world. The layouts seem to converge over time to a similar structure regardless of where or over how long they were built. The study, in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface , analysed 14 subway networks around the world. It found common distributions of stations within the networks, as well as common proportions of the numbers of lines, stations, and total distances. In some senses, it is unsurprising that the study found that networks tended over time to comprise a dense core of central stations with a number of lines radiating outward from it. By choosing the world's largest networks, from Beijing to Barcelona, the results were bound to represent networks that serve city centres with a dense collection of stations and bring commuters inward from more distant stations. But the analysis shows a number of less obvious similarities across all 14 networks. It found the total number of stations was proportional to the square of the number of lines - that is, a four-fold increase in station number would result in a doubling of the number of lines. The dense core of central stations all had the same average number of neighbours in the network, and in all cases, about half the total number of stations were found outside the core. In addition, the length of any one branch from the core's centre was about the same as twice the diameter of the core. The number of stations at a given distance from the centre was proportional to the square of that distance, but only up to the edge of the core; at more distant reaches of the network, the number of stations contained was directly proportional to distance. The authors analysed how the networks grew and added lines and stations, finding that they all converged over time to these similar structures. They authors point out that the similarities exist regardless of where the networks were, when they were begun, or how quickly they reached their current layout. "Although these (networks) might appear to be planned in some centralised manner, it is our contention here that subway systems like many other features of city systems evolve and self-organise themselves as the product of a stream of rational but usually uncoordinated decisions taking place through time," they wrote. The authors say that the systems do not appear to be "fractal". Fractal systems follow mathematical patterns that seem equivalent in a number of physical and social systems ranging from the movements of planets to the movements of depressed people, but they may or may not reflect a deeper, more universal organisational principle . Nevertheless, the team wrote that some underlying rule is likely to be driving the way subway systems end up worldwide. "The existence of unique long-time limit topological and spatial features is a universal signature that fundamental mechanisms, independent of historical and geographical differences, contribute to the evolution of these transportation networks," they wrote. A leaked report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said there were 2,784 centrifuges at Fordo, and that Iran could soon double the number operating from 700 to 1,400. The development is likely to fuel Western suspicions that Iran is seeking to develop nuclear weapons. The government in Tehran insists the nuclear programme is entirely peaceful. Talks this year about the uranium enrichment programme between Iran and the so-called P5+1 - the US, UK, France, China, Russia and Germany - have made little progress. Iran's progress at Fordo was disclosed in a leaked report based on the findings of the IAEA's inspectors, who visit the facility regularly. While the uranium enrichment plant is not yet fully operational - with only about 700 of the 3,000 centrifuges the facility is designed in use - experts say it could be within months. The IAEA report said four new cascades of 174 centrifuges each "having been subjected to vacuum testing, were ready for feeding" with uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas. Once the new cascades were in operation, monthly production of 20%-enriched (medium-enriched) uranium would be about 25kg (55lb) per month, compared with 15kg at present, one official said. The facility at Fordo, which is buried deep under a mountain inside a military base near the holy city of Qom, is designed to contain 16 cascades producing medium-enriched uranium, which experts say could be enriched to about 90%, or weapons-grade, in a relatively short time. The IAEA also revealed in its report that Iran had produced about 233kg (512lb) of higher-grade enriched uranium since 2010, an increase of 43kg since August. Earlier this year, the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI) used 96kg of its supply of 20%-enriched uranium for conversion into fuel for its medical research reactor in Tehran. Experts say it would be difficult to turn the fuel into weapons-grade uranium. Nuclear fuel had also been removed from the core of the nuclear reactor at Bushehr without a reason being given by Iran, the IAEA added. The report also said that "extensive activities" at the Parchin military site had seriously undermined an investigation into indications that experiments related to nuclear weapons might have been carried out there. Iran is suspected of attempting to removing evidence. Iran has denied that there are any nuclear-related activities at Parchin. The IAEA's report concluded that the agency was "unable... to conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities". The ex-Team Sky rider, who was second in the past two years, finished behind compatriot Caleb Ewan in a bunch sprint on the 90km final stage in Adelaide. Porte, who now rides for BMC Racing, had won Saturday's fifth stage to lead by 48 seconds. "It's just incredible to come back here and win after being so close the past two years," he said. "I had a good break at the end of last season and I've come back refreshed - physically and mentally - and to win this race, it means a hell of a lot." Porte maintained his 48-second overall advantage over Colombia's Esteban Chaves with Australia's Jay McCarthy a further three seconds back in third overall. Ewan's sprint victory, where he edged out world champion Peter Sagan, gave him his fourth stage win as he joined Germany's Andre Greipel (2008) and Australia's Robbie McEwen (2002) as the only riders to have won four stages in the same edition of the race.

The organiser said the play portrays him as "evil" throughout so should not be performed where he rests. The petition has been handed in to Leicester Cathedral. Both the cathedral and theatre company Antic Disposition say they still intend to go ahead. The play, which is touring the country, is due to be performed in Leicester on 19 and 20 July. Joanne Larner, petition organiser, said: "It is inappropriate and disrespectful to perform that play, which blackens his name, where he is buried. He is meant to be buried in dignity and honour. "The whole play is completely degrading. He is displayed as the personification of evil." Joanne, 59, of Essex, added she does not mind it being held somewhere else, just not the cathedral. A spokesman from Leicester Cathedral said it had no intention of changing its plans. He said: "These performances will go ahead as we engage in the dynamics between the man and the myths of King Richard III. The performances will take place in the main body of the building. We continue to work with the public day by day to ensure that the King's grave is respected." Ben Horslen and John Risebero, directors of Antic Disposition, added: "As a company that specialises in site-specific productions, we've found that staging Shakespeare's work in historic venues adds an extra dimension to his stories, and we are always excited to use our settings to allow audiences to connect with his work in new ways. "Our two performances in Leicester Cathedral sold out within five days, demonstrating the support for and interest in the production." The attack, which happened on Tuesday at 06:30 local time (04:30 GMT) near Sulz village, is the third stabbing on a European train in a month. Austrian police say the man, a German national, appeared mentally disturbed. He resisted arrest but officers used pepper spray and had the help of a 22-year-old bystander. Together they managed to arrest him. The perpetrator lunged at a 19-year-old man on the seat opposite him, police said, before attacking a 17-year-old boy. It is not clear whether the victims were travelling together or whether they knew each other. The 19 year-old has suffered wounds to the stomach and back. The 17 year-old's throat has been injured. Austrian police said they were searching for a motive. Similar recent attacks: Seventy-nine "viable" weapons were recovered from the car's trailer when it was stopped by UK Border Force officers at Coquelles near the Channel Tunnel terminal on Saturday. Two men, a Polish and a Czech national, have been remanded in custody at Uxbridge magistrates' court in connection with the operation. The guns were concealed in specially-adapted engine blocks. The seizure follows a joint operation by the National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Metropolitan Police working with Border Force officials in France. Graham Gardner, the NCA's deputy director of investigations, said: "Our recent threat assessment highlights that handguns are still commonly favoured by some criminal groups in the UK. "They may not be the largest firearm, but they are easily concealable and lethal in the hands of anyone prepared to use them." Denis Kolencukov, 23, originally from the Czech Republic but living in the UK, and Polish national Janusz Michek, 59, are each charged with two firearms offences. No further action will be taken against six other Polish nationals arrested in Coquelles. 8 April 2017 Last updated at 09:53 BST A group of 82 hot air balloons took off from Dover and travelled to France. It took them three hours to make the 26 mile journey. If confirmed by officials, this attempt will beat the current world record of 49 balloons making the trip. Sion Bedwyr Evans, 41, of of Llanrug, and Garry Vaughan Roberts, 43, of Caernarfon, had faced 50 charges between them. They were alleged to have happened at Canolfan Brynffynnon in Y Felinheli between September 2006 and March 2014. The Crown Prosecution Service said the charges had been dropped after new information from the police. Catrin Evans, head of the CPS Cymru-Wales Complex Casework Unit, said they had written to the court confirming the prosecution will offer no evidence against Mr Evans, who was acting head teacher at the unit, and his colleague. The family act, who made their debut in 1973, said they were "absolutely honoured" to be recognised. Folk singer Martin Carthy, who has been performing for 50 years and recorded more than 40 albums, will also be given a special award. The awards, marking their 15th anniversary, will be held at London's Royal Albert Hall on 19 February. Clannad, which comprises siblings Moya, Ciaran and Pol Brennan and their twin uncles Noel and Padraig, shot to fame with their theme to TV drama Harry's Game in 1982. Their younger sister was recruited to the band in the late 1970s and went on to have an internationally successful career as solo star Enya. "We are really looking forward to being part of the big night at the Royal Albert Hall," added the band, who will also perform at the awards ceremony. Their previous accolades include a Grammy for the best new age album in 1999, while they won a career achievement honour at the Ireland's Meteor Awards in 2007. Carthy said: "I've just been lucky enough to follow my heart and pretty much do what I want over the past 50 years or so. His wife Norma Waterson and daughter Eliza are also well-known and respected folk musicians. "If, along the way, I've been able to play a part, however small, in keeping the traditional music of these islands alive, then I consider myself a fortunate man," added the 72-year-old. Carthy has won four folk awards at previous ceremonies, including folk singer of the year in 2002 and 2005. Bob Shennan, the controller of Radio 2 and BBC 6Music, said: "Clannad and Martin Carthy have made magnificent contributions to folk music over the years and are thoroughly deserving of these prestigious accolades." The full nominations for this year's event have also been announced, across nine categories. The 23-year-old Nigeria international has yet to play for the Blues since signing in January 2012 and is out on loan for a fourth time - this time at Turkey's Alanyaspor. Omeruo, who won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria, admits he is unhappy with his situation. My priority is to play at the top, to find a place where I get to play regularly "It might happen that I get to play for Chelsea but it is no longer my immediate priority," Omeruo told BBC Sport. "You have no idea how frustrating it is to always go out on loan," added the Nigeria defender. The season-long move to Turkey was a swift return to the Super Lig for centre-back Omeruo after another loan stint at Kasimpasa last term. He was a regular in the Kasimpasa side, making 26 appearances, but the Turkish club could not take up the option to buy him at the end of his loan spell. And it is unlikely Alanyaspor could make the switch permanent because last August Omeruo signed a contract extension with Chelsea, keeping him on the club's books until July 2019. Despite watching his compatriot Victor Moses establishing himself under Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge this season, Omeruo concedes he may have to look elsewhere for regular football. "Last season I had an opportunity to go to one of Turkey's biggest clubs [Besiktas] but the deal collapsed two days to the end of the transfer window," he added. "This season I was lucky I could find a place where I could still play because they want me to come to Alanyaspor. "My priority is to play at the top, to find a place where I get to play regularly. "Next season will be interesting because I'm looking to be in one of the top leagues, so we'll see what happens." Omeruo joined Chelsea from Belgian side Standard Liege and has since been on loan at ADO Den Haag in Netherlands and twice at English side Middlesbrough. Despite not making a competitive appearance for Chelsea, Omeruo was called up by Nigeria for the first time in January 2013 and went on to play at that year's Africa Cup of Nations and Confederations Cup and at the 2014 World Cup. Britain Stronger in Europe says it has the backing of five political parties and David Cameron to make the case for the UK's continued EU membership. Grassroots Out, which is vying with Vote Leave to lead the Out campaign, has Nigel Farage among its backers. The Electoral Commission is expected to make a decision by 14 April. The watchdog can select one designated lead campaign for both the "Leave" and "Remain" sides ahead of the referendum on EU membership on 23 June. The chosen campaigns will get access to a grant of up to £600,000, an overall spending limit of £7m, campaign broadcasts, free mailshots and free access to meeting rooms. It will judge each applicant's merits on the basis of a range of criteria, such as level of cross-party support, campaign tactics and organisational capacity. Britain Stronger in Europe is expected to be the only group seeking the formal In designation. In its submission, it says it has the support of Labour, the Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru and three Northern Ireland parties - the Alliance Party, the Green Party and the SDLP. Mr Cameron, who has become the overall figurehead of the In campaign, says he fully backs the application, saying it draws support from "every corner of the UK" and that its opponents are "divided into at least two camps who can't agree on very much". While it backs staying in the EU, the SNP is running its own separate campaign in Scotland, while the Green Party of England and Wales has affiliated itself to Another World Is Possible - a different group formed by Labour MPs on the left of the party. The Grassroots Out application will be submitted by Mr Farage and Tory MPs Peter Bone and Tom Pursglove. It says it has the support of Tory, Labour, UKIP and DUP politicians. Vote Leave, which is vying with Grassroots Out, will submit its application at a later date. It said key individuals backing Britain Stronger in Europe were past supporters of joining the euro while several organisations supporting the campaign group received EU funding. Political parties and other groups can run their own campaigns but they will be limited to a spend of £700,000 if they register with the watchdog and will have to report the source of donations. If they don't register with the Commission they will be limited to spending less than £10,000. The Batley Variety Club, now known as Batley Frontier, is being converted into a gym. A special event called 'It's the Final Frontier' was held at the West Yorkshire venue on Saturday to mark its last night. Organisers said it was a sell-out and thanked people for their support. Posting on the club's Facebook page, Jackie Hatfield, said: "Was a fabulous night the Final Frontier for young and old - my dad Dennis is 82 and had a fabulous night never came off the dance floor." Another reveller tweeted: "Thank you Batley Frontier for the memories. You will be missed." The Bradford Road club opened in 1967 with The Bachelors playing to a crowd of around 2,000 people. It was opened and run by Jimmy Corrigan who, along with wife Betty, built the club on the site of a former sewage works. He succeeded in attracting some of the music industry's biggest names including Louis Armstrong who played the club in 1968 just weeks after he knocked the Beatles off the number one spot. Dame Shirley Bassey played at the venue a number of times and was regularly booked for three-week runs which would sell out. Reflecting on the closure, she said: "I have many happy memories of singing at the Batley Variety Club so sorry to hear it is closing. "I remember the opening night and I walked into my dressing room the owner had found out I liked Mars bars and there to greet me was a mountain of Mars bars. It took me a year to eat them and put me off Mars bars for life."

Operation Jasmine started in 2005 and cost £11.6m, but was put on hold after Dr Prana Das, the homes' owner, suffered brain damage in a burglary. Charges against him have been left on file. Blaenau Gwent MP Nick Smith hopes the UK government will back his proposal, which he said had cross-party support. The decision was made to leave the charges on file after a hearing at Cardiff Crown Court in March. In April, after a criminal trial, a man and a woman were jailed for 15 and 10 years respectively for assaulting and robbing Dr Das and his wife Nishebita, also a doctor, in their home in Newport. The court was told that Dr Prana Das, 66, was hit about the head so violently that he will never practise medicine again. He had faced charges relating to neglect and fraud at two care homes - Brithdir Care Home in New Tredegar, near Bargoed, and The Beeches in Blaenavon. Gwent Police have already welcomed the decision that proceedings could restart if his condition improved. Mr Smith told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales that when he raised the matter at Prime Minister's Questions, fellow MPs recognised there were many issues of "neglect of old people at care homes across the UK". He will table a Ten Minute Rule Bill at Westminster later this week as a first legislative step. "I think that this is an important topic," he said. "The families and the residents there want justice and I'm going to keep up the campaign to make sure that we have a public inquiry but also try and change the law. "There's going to be a social care bill and I want to make sure that we can get an amendment put through to that to make sure that if there are issues of neglect they can prosecuted properly by the authorities". Operation Jasmine spanned seven years, involved 75 police staff, and 4,126 statements were taken. Mr Smith said: "Lots of people recognise it is an ongoing issue and a fight worth seeing through". The MP has spoken about his shock at hearing details of the case and what had happened to 103 alleged victims, 63 of whom have since died. Operation Jasmine was an inquiry funded by the Home Office into six care homes in south Wales. The surrealist painter, who died in 1989 at the age of 85, was buried in a crypt in a museum dedicated to his life and work in Figueres, in north-eastern Spain. Samples will be taken from his remains to see if they match the DNA of the claimant. The process is going ahead despite the objections of the local authorities and the foundation carrying Dalí's name, both of which claimed that not enough notice had been given ahead of the exhumation. It will require the removal of a 1.5-tonne slab covering his tomb in order to reach his body. María Pilar Abel Martínez, a tarot card reader who was born in 1956, says her mother had an affair with Dalí during the year before her birth. Her mother, Antonia, had worked for a family that spent time in Cadaqués, near the painter's home. Last month a Madrid judge ordered the exhumation to settle the claim. It is contested by the Dalí foundation, which manages the estate of the artist, who was not believed to have had any children. Ms Martínez says her mother and paternal grandmother both told her at an early age that Dalí was her real father. She told El Mundo newspaper that her grandmother said to her: "I love you a lot but I know that you're not the daughter of my son. What's more, I know who your father is - he is Salvador Dalí." One day, Ms Martínez says, she asked her mother: "Am I really Salvador Dali's daughter? Because look at how ugly he was." She says her mother replied: "Yes, but he had his charms. And yes, he is your father." Ms Martínez's action is against the Spanish state, to which Dalí left his estate. If she is confirmed to be his daughter, she could assume his surname and be entitled to part of that estate. But the story of the supposed affair has surprised many - not so much because Dalí was married in 1955, but because of his complex sexual tastes. And for some, this is why the thought of Dalí making a woman pregnant seems unlikely. Ian Gibson, an Irish-born biographer of Dalí, says the idea of the Catalan artist ever having had an orthodox physical relationship with a woman is "absolutely impossible", despite five decades of marriage to Elena Ivanova Diakonova, his Russian wife more commonly known as Gala. "Dalí always boasted: 'I'm impotent, you've got to be impotent to be a great painter'," the biographer said. Salvador Dalí - Life of a surrealist Photo gallery of Dalí's work His close friendship with the gay poet Federico García Lorca has fuelled speculation that Dalí was homosexual, although Ian Gibson believes they never consummated their relationship. Carlos Lozano, who was for a time part of the painter's inner circle, told the biographer that "Dalí was totally unable to have any sexual relations with anybody, not even, probably, with Gala... He hated being touched and when he touched you it was like being clawed by an eagle." Dalí's sexual eccentricities appeared to feed into his work and in 1956, the year of Ms Martínez's birth, he wrote in his diary: "I feel in a state of permanent intellectual erection." Paintings such as The Great Masturbator (1929), in which a woman's face emerges out of the side of a giant human profile, beneath which a large winged insect is resting, and nuzzles against a man's bulging groin, contributed to his reputation for bizarre erotic tastes. Lluís Llongueras, an artist and writer who knew Dalí from the early 1960s until his death, traces much of his friend's attitude to sex back to his childhood. He says that when Dalí was a teenager his father traumatised him by constantly showing him pictures of penises mutilated by syphilis. However, Llongueras says Dalí's preference for watching others engaging in physical contact rather than doing so himself made perfect sense for someone with his gifts. "He was an artist and so he was a great voyeur - all of us artists have to be voyeurs, otherwise how could we work with the human body?" he said. But Dalí's interests went beyond eroticism and the human form, straying into memory, religion and even the world of science. His 1963 painting Galacidalacidesoxiribunucleicacid is a tribute to Francis Crick and James D. Watson, the scientists who identified the structure of DNA. "I think that Dalí would greatly enjoy being exhumed, it's a totally surrealist event," said Gibson. "He'd be thrilled, I'm quite sure, by the whole business." Anonymous said the data was "a form of resistance" against racial violence. The KKK last year threatened to use "deadly force" against those protesting over the killing of a black youth in Ferguson, Missouri. A list of alleged KKK members published earlier in the week appears to have been fake. That list had incorrectly outed several US politicians as KKK members and was quickly followed by a denial from Anonymous's official Twitter account. Thursday's list appears to detail social media profiles of people who had joined or "liked" KKK-related groups on Facebook and Google+. Many of the profiles featured racist imagery and slogans. Anonymous said it had collected the names over the course of the last year, using a variety of ways, from "interviewing expert sources" and "digital espionage" to obtaining publicly-available information. The group said those on the list included official members of various KKK groups "as well as their closest associates (most are also in other extremist hate groups)". Some were listed with their alleged aliases. "Some members of this list are quite dangerous, sociopathic individuals. Others are not," Anonymous added in its statement accompanying the release of the list. Some observers were not overly impressed by the list. Mark Pitcavage, director of the US Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism, told Vice News it was "low-hanging fruit, basically public source information. For most of these people it's not a secret that they've been in the Klan." He also said there were "all sorts of errors", including the mis-spelling of at least one person's name. Inside the minds of the hacktivists 'I am absolutely not a KKK member' The release of the list came on 5 November, a significant date for members of Anonymous because it is the day that Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the English Parliament in 1605. Guy Fawkes masks, made popular in the movie V for Vendetta, have become a symbol for the group. The group launched its campaign, dubbed Hoods Off, after the Ku Klux Klan threatened violence against protesters - including Anonymous members - who took to the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, after a jury decided not to prosecute a white police officer who shot dead Michael Brown, a black teenager, in August 2014. In November last year, Anonymous launched denial-of-service attacks to take down a website associated with the KKK and also took over two Twitter accounts connected to the group. Anonymous expert Gabriella Coleman has described the outing of KKK members as a "comeback" for the hacker group, which has faced criticism for failing to control members and leaking inaccurate information. The fact that fake data was leaked earlier will be seen as an embarrassment for the group that has become well-known for backing social justice causes. To coincide with Guy Fawkes night, Anonymous held protests in cities around the world, including one in London where there have been at least 50 arrests. Rebel Remainers though were "delighted", that, stealing Jeremy Corbyn's thunder, a planted question from a loyal Tory MP at PMQs today produced in fact a promise from the Prime Minister that, after all, there will be a White Paper. It is a climbdown, no question, a last-minute change of heart. Late last night Brexiteers were being assured there would be no bending, no delay to the government's plans and no giving in to the Remainers. Even early this morning, government sources were privately suggesting that they were quite happy to have the white paper option up their sleeve, but there were no immediate plans to make that promise. Then voila, at 1205 GMT, the pledge of a white paper suddenly emerged. As one senior Tory joked, "welcome to the vacillation of the next two years". It may be being described as a "massive, unplanned" concession but it doesn't seriously hurt the government. First off, it shows goodwill to the rebel Tory Remainers, many of whom feel their Eurosceptic rivals have had the upper hand of late. Schmoozing matters round these parts. It takes one of the potential arguments that could have gathered pace off the table, before the Article 50 bill is even published. And, rightly or wrongly, no one expects a white paper will contain anything new that the prime minister has not yet already said. It's largely a victory for the Remainers about process, rather than substance. For her critics this is evidence of weakness, that's she has been pushed into changing her mind. But it doesn't need to change the government's timetable, and today's embarrassment of a climbdown might be worth the goodwill that Number 10 will get in return. The French striker put away a loose ball after just five minutes, and made it two when Ryan Cresswell miscued a shot into his path. Fortunes nosedived further for Neil Smith's men when midfielder Connor Dymond was dismissed for a high tackle on Jason Taylor. It was no surprise that Eastleigh pushed on in the second half, and defender Jake Howells added a third. Mandron completed his treble with 25 minutes still remaining, following a one-two with Andy Drury. And James Constable swerved in a cross for Adam Dawson to add a fifth on 71 minutes.

After a scoreless first period, Colin Shields and Blair Riley were on target, with Layne Ulmer replying for Cardiff. Chris Higgins restored the Giants' two-goal lead, Ryan Martinelli made it 4-1, but Matthew Myers replied. Ulmer grabbed his second with 50 seconds left, before James Desmarais scored into the empty Cardiff net with 10 seconds remaining. The Giants had lost 4-3 to the Elite League champions on Saturday night in the first encounter of the double-header between the teams. The focus now shifts to the end-of-season play-offs with the Giants hosting Fife Flyers in their quarter-final in Belfast on Saturday 1 April (19:00 BST). The unencrypted device with no password protection stored details of 1,075 people with links to drug probes, arrest targets and officers' names. Greater Manchester Police has been fined £120,000 by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) The device was stolen in a burglary at a detective's home in July 2011. In a report, ICO director of data protection David Smith said if the data got into the hands of "untrustworthy third parties" it could expose the people involved to physical harm. He said: "This was truly sensitive personal data, left in the hands of a burglar by poor data security. "The consequences of this type of breach really do send a shiver down the spine. "It should have been obvious to the force that the type of information stored on its computers meant proper data security was needed. "Instead, it has taken a serious data breach to prompt it into action." Mr Smith added: "This is a substantial monetary penalty, reflecting the significant failings the force demonstrated. "We hope it will discourage others from making the same data protection mistakes." A similar security breach took place in September 2010 but the force failed to sufficiently re-train staff and put precautionary measures in place, the ICO said. Ass Ch Const Lynne Potts said: "This was very much an isolated incident. "We take all matters relating to the storage of data extremely seriously and have stringent measures in place to ensure the safe storage of data." It is understood the detective was internally disciplined and that all those whose names appeared on the device have been contacted. It will set a maximum hourly rate for temps and cap the amount trusts that are struggling financially can spend. The agencies' body says they are being scapegoated "for the NHS's own mismanagement of workforce planning". The NHS in England spent nearly £2bn last year on agency and contract staff - more than twice the planned amount. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said staff costs had spiralled out of control. On one occasion, an agency nurse cost the NHS £2,200 for a 12-hour shift, and a doctor £3,700 for a 30-hour shift. In some instances, more than half of the money went to the agency itself. And hospitals are increasingly hiring expensive management consultants, which cost the NHS nearly £600m last year. The measures will be phased in over the next few months and include a cap of £50,000 applied to all management-consultancy contracts. Any trust needing to exceed this for clinical reasons will have to get permission from the regulator, Monitor, or the Trust Development Authority. Currently, many NHS trusts manage their agency spend through framework agreements that cap prices. Rates are negotiated by central government, and recruitment agencies should adhere to them. But under the new measures, agencies charging above the odds will be barred from use. Mr Hunt said: "Expensive staffing agencies are quite simply ripping off the NHS. "It's outrageous that taxpayers are being taken for a ride by companies charging up to £3,500 a shift for a doctor. "The NHS is bigger than all of these companies, so we'll use that bargaining power to drive down rates and beat them at their own game." Simon Stevens, chief executive of NHS England, has said the rising costs are partly due to hospitals putting more nurses on wards, following the public inquiry into the Stafford Hospital scandal. Others blame government mismanagement of the NHS. Agency staff will always have a role in the NHS. The government's beef is not about using temps to cover busy periods or staff sickness. It is about an over-reliance by the NHS in England on expensive locums that line the pockets of what Mr Hunt calls "rip-off" agencies. So why is this happening, and who's to blame? Many agency nurses have had long careers as NHS employees but have left - because of the pay and the hours, for example. Some shifts, such as working in A&E, are particularly hard to fill. When the work is brutal, or the hospital is unpopular, it can be hard to find permanent staff to take up posts. Jobs abroad may be far more attractive for NHS employees and new graduates. The industry body that oversees recruitment agencies says the root problem is poor workforce planning, which has left the NHS short of nurses. The Royal College of Nursing agrees. It says too many nursing posts have been cut and too few student nurses are coming up the ranks to fill the void. Arguably, without agency staff pitching in, the NHS and its patients would suffer. Recruitment and Employment Confederation director of policy Tom Hadley told BBC News: "The language and tone from Jeremy Hunt is outrageous. "Agency nurses play a vital role in ensuring safe staffing ratios and quality patient care in an NHS that cannot find sufficient permanent staff. "Nobody objects to there being set parameters for pricing of agency staff, but they already exist in the form of NHS framework agreements. "We just don't see how it is feasible to bring in new rules at this short notice. "We are disappointed that the Department of Health has not consulted around the introduction of these new rules and await more detail about exactly how they propose to reconcile them with NHS trusts' legal responsibility to ensure safe staffing levels on wards. "What happens, for instance, if there is a cold snap and a trust needs staff instantly to manage an influx of demand but they have already reached their newly imposed cap on overall spend?" Andy Burnham MP, Labour's shadow health secretary, said: "The decision to cut 6,000 nursing posts in the early years of the last Parliament, alongside big reductions in nurse training places, has left the NHS in the grip of private staffing agencies. "The Tory government is responsible for this monumental waste of NHS resources." The British Medical Association said the overspend on management consultants had been to help hospitals navigate the government-driven reorganisation of the NHS. Dr Peter Carter, head of the Royal College of Nursing, said while it was right to clamp down on excessive spending, "this will only work alongside longer term solutions, like converting agency staff to permanent staff, and continuing to increase training places to catch up with demand". Claire Billieness, managing director of an agency called HCL workforce solutions, which supplies the NHS with temporary staff, hoped the move would help create a level playing field for agencies. "Approved framework rates do already exist," she said. "However, it is the enforcements of these rates that has been a problem in the past. "It will also send a very strong message to career locums that holding out for the best price is no longer an option." Danny Mortimer, of NHS Employers, said: "We welcome this focus on the agency market. Clearly, we await further detail." He came in at two hours, 20 minutes and 25 seconds and he can still recall the joy of the moment. "All sorts of other memories have gone by the wayside, but I do remember it and it was quite an experience," he said. "It was great for me. It got me to the Commonwealth Games and it got me very well established in UK athletics." Greg is proud of the Belfast marathon - the city was one of the trailblazers, he said, and it is wonderful that it has continued into its 35th year, standing the test of time. "We were one of the first in the UK alongside London and Dublin and we have managed to keep it going since 1982," he said. "The first few years of the 1980s were very good, then the numbers went down. But I believe there are up to 2,000 now running the full 26 miles." Davy Seaton is still running marathons but in a different role. He took part in that first marathon but now he is race director, playing a pivotal role in the organisation of the day. Standing outside the old Maysfield Leisure Centre, the starting point for that inaugural run in 1982, he was a little nostalgic for the past. "That first Belfast marathon - if you ran in it, it sticks in your mind forever. It was a wonderful thing," he said. "The idea was brought back from the London marathon the previous year. "Les Jones, who was instrumental in so much in athletics in Northern Ireland, thought it would be a wonderful thing to do. "We got together with John Lavery from Guinness and the people from Belfast City Council and the sports council and Les pulled the whole thing together." There were just over 3,000 competitors that first year. "There was a novelty about it, every half-decent cross-country runner and sportsman wanted to be part of it. We were able to get 3,000 people quite easily," he said. It was originally a "local race" back then, with competitors coming from Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland. The marathon was initially a two-lap race, in south and east Belfast. As time went on, the route was changed to encompass the north and west of the city. "The Troubles were there, but it didn't impact adversely on the marathon. "In those days, there were people from one side of the community who, because of the marathon, ran the other side of the community. "We had boys from the Shankill Road quite happily running up the Falls Road and guys from west Belfast running down Sandy Row and the Donegall Road. "We were all just athletes in those days. There was nothing more sinister than that." Davy had to deal with some odd requests back then. "There was one particular fellow who requested the number 1690. "We were happy to facilitate him, but I asked why: 'I'm a bit of a loyalist,' he told me. 'I want my friends to know that I ran up the Falls Road with the number 1690 on my breast'." Police and army officers also took part - they went incognito in shorts and running vests. "Loads of them ran. They all enjoyed it. They were seeing the city from a different perspective." Davy Seaton can still remember his own first Belfast marathon. He came in 20th, finishing the course in two hours, thirty-eight minutes. "Greg Hannon was about three miles up the road from me and, no doubt, had had a shower by the time I struggled over the finishing line," he said. He has watched the Belfast City Marathon grow with a certain paternal pride. "After the initial surge, it dropped slightly in terms of numbers. "Then somebody had the bright idea of introducing the team relay - a five-person event and people who couldn't manage the whole 26 miles, could easily run five, six or seven miles. "So we were able to attract quite a few people from other sports." Others can take part in the wheelchair race, the fun run or the marathon walk. "No matter how old or how unfit you are we have something on May Day Monday to suit you," he said. "There is also the amount of charity money that we raise. "The Ulster man and woman is very generous, There have been millions of pounds raised by people running in this event and that is really wonderful." And the Belfast event has a special place in people's hearts, he said. "We have 35 years unbroken, while other places lasted for two or three years. "We have stood the test of time through the Troubles. We may never compete with New York, London or Paris but, in our own wee way, there is something quite unique about the Belfast marathon."

BBC News NI will be covering the marathon, including latest news, pictures and video, on our live page from 08:00 BST on Monday morning. SNP members supported a Conservative motion despite it including strong criticism of the government. There has been a row over Scotland's freedom of information system after a group of journalists signed an open letter voicing concerns. The government has pledged to publish all FoI responses in future. Concerns were initially raised by journalists, who signed an open letter saying they were "increasingly concerned about the way in which the legislation is being interpreted and implemented". Labour MSP Neil Findlay subsequently led members' business at Holyrood on the topic, calling for a "wholescale review" of practices, saying there was a "systematic avoidance of scrutiny and accountability from the highest level". Conservative MSP Edward Mountain put forward a motion stating that parliament "condemns the Scottish government's poor performance in responding to freedom of information requests" and "calls for an independent inquiry into the way that it deals with these". Government business manager Joe Fitzpatrick put forward an amendment accepting all of this wording, but adding a welcome for plans to publish all material released under FoI. This meant SNP members ultimately voted in favour of a motion condemning their government. Mr Fitzpatrick insisted the Scottish government "believes in open government". He said they accepted Mr Mountain's motion, saying: "We accept our recent performance has not been good enough, and we are working to improve it." However, he also hit out at the UK government regime, saying it was a pity that the Westminster government was not taking steps over its performance. Under questioning from Lib Dem Tavish Scott about whether special advisors screen requests for potential political damage, Mr Fitzpatrick initially said "no", but then added that advisors did check draft responses for accuracy. The minister also highlighted a spike in requests in recent years, which Labour's Neil Findlay suggested was due to "garbage parliamentary answers" forcing opposition members to resort to FoI. Mr Mountain said the government's actions pointed to a "code of secrecy", and said: "The Scottish government has been disingenuous in dealing with FoIs, it knows it has and it can't hide it, and ministers must be more honest, transparent and accountable in future." However, several SNP members backed Mr Fitzpatrick, with former Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead saying he was "staggered" as a minister by the resources involved in making information public. Andy Wightman for the Greens said openness was "fundamental" to democracy, commending ministers for "holding their hands up" on the issue and for committing to publish all responses. Mr Scott also credited Mr Fitzpatrick for accepting the wording of the motion, although he noted it was probably because the government knew they would lose the vote if they contested it. Media playback is not supported on this device Two goals by skipper Steven Davis and one by stand-in striker Josh Magennis sent them through to a major tournament for the first time in 30 years. Media playback is not supported on this device Davis forced in a first-half goal, and then headers by Magennis and Davis ensured Northern Ireland were going to their first European finals. Christos Aravidis got a late goal for Greece but it did not spoil the party. With Romania drawing 1-1 at home to Finland, Northern Ireland will top Group F if they get a point in Finland on Sunday in their final qualifier. Captain Davis was one year old and Kilmarnock player Magennis not even born the last time Northern Ireland competed at a major finals - the 1986 World Cup when Billy Bingham was manager and the team included Pat Jennings, Mal Donaghy and Norman Whiteside. Northern Ireland fans had endured 14 unsuccessful qualifying campaigns since then, but those repeated disappointments made Thursday night's celebrations all the sweeter. Southampton midfielder Davis stretched to score his first goal in 13 games for his country after Stuart Dallas had delivered the ball low from the right. Magennis netted a looping header from an Oliver Norwood corner on 49 minutes and nine minutes later Davis made it three with a well-placed header. It was a first international goal for 25-year-old Magennis, who played for Northern Ireland as a goalkeeper at Under-17 level. When his club Cardiff City told the teenager from Bangor, County Down, he would not make it as a keeper, he was offered the chance to become a striker. It was an opportunity he grabbed and has gone on to make a career in the Scottish Premiership. The suspension of Kyle Lafferty, who had scored seven goals in this qualifying campaign, handed Magennis his chance to shine on the international stage and he celebrated his goal at Windsor Park by running into the arms of manager Michael O'Neill on the touchline. It was a case of captain fantastic as Steven Davis scored in both halves. The midfielder netted for the first time in 13 Northern Ireland games when he opened the scoring 10 minutes before half-time. He later made it 3-0 with a well-placed header to cap a memorable night. After the final whistle, the supporters known as the Green and White Army refused to leave the ground, singing in celebration as the realisation that so many years of hurt were over, began to sink in. They were rewarded with an encore as their players came back out for a lap of honour. Predictably, manager O'Neill got a special ovation as he was joined on the pitch by his two daughters and also lifted up by this players. Few would have given Northern Ireland much hope of reaching the expanded Euro finals, coming after a dismal qualifying campaign for the 2014 World Cup in which O'Neill's men lost to Luxembourg and could not beat Azerbaijan. Even going into Thursday's match, there were doubts as Northern Ireland were without four key players in suspended Lafferty, Chris Baird and Conor McLaughlin and injured Jonny Evans. But it all went right on the night at the partly-rebuilt Windsor Park, and O'Neill's men are top on 20 points and have scored most goals in the group. Now 12 December has been put in the diary as that is when the draw for next year's finals takes place in Paris. Media playback is not supported on this device Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill: "Tonight we were without four of our top players and yet we can come and win the game and win the game so well in such a tense occasion. "We look forward to the draw now, it gives everyone something to look forward to. The preparations for France start now. "We have to enjoy tonight, we have got a three-point gap now. Our objective was to qualify and we've done that. It is a lovely position to be in going into the last game." Match ends, Northern Ireland 3, Greece 1. Second Half ends, Northern Ireland 3, Greece 1.

Figures from Operation Hydrant - which was set up by the National Police Chiefs' Council - show the total has risen by almost 800 since May. It includes 302 people of "public prominence", including 99 politicians and 147 from television, film or radio. Some 761 different institutions are now on the Hydrant database, including 288 schools and 204 children's homes. Operation Hydrant was set up last summer to oversee the investigation of allegations of "non-recent" child sex abuse within institutions or by people of public prominence. It does not conduct any investigations itself, but gathers information from other inquiries carried out by police forces in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Of the 2,228 suspects currently under investigation: Last week, a national Operation Hydrant conference took place, bringing together police and other experts to develop new guidance for police forces investing historical abuse. Speaking at the conference, Ch Con Simon Bailey, national policing lead for Hydrant, said: "It is important that victims continue to have the confidence to come forward and report child sexual abuse. "However, while there has been much public focus on those investigations falling under the remit of Operation Hydrant, it is important to remember that the majority of victims are abused by family members or friends. "By the time police are involved, it is too late, and a child has become a victim. There is therefore an important role to be played by wider society, not just by the police, in spotting the signs and achieving early interventions to prevent child sexual abuse before it happens." The company says it has now been served with 26 complaints in total, demanding nearly $1bn in compensation. Last month, Toshiba warned it could collapse because of soaring losses. Originally known for its consumer electronics products, Toshiba has faced a series of difficulties. An accounting scandal, uncovered in 2015, led to the resignation of several members of the firm's senior management, including the chief executive, after the company was found to have inflated the previous seven years' profits by $1.2bn. Toshiba said it received the most recent complaint, demanding $399m in compensation, on Monday. It had been filed on 3 April with the District Court in Tokyo by 70 shareholders, foreign institutional investors and individuals. The company said it had received prior warning from some of the shareholders that the action would be brought. As a result, part of the impact of this latest claim for damages was reflected in the financial outlook Toshiba published last month, when it warned it was likely to report an annual loss of 950bn yen ($8.4bn; £6.5bn). Toshiba's problems are not confirmed to the accounting scandal. Its problems came to a head again in January this year, when it became clear its US nuclear unit, Westinghouse, was in financial trouble. Westinghouse subsequently filed for US bankruptcy protection. It had been hit by bit losses having suffered huge cost overruns at two projects in Georgia and South Carolina.

Last week, it was supervised gym sessions for people at risk of type-2 diabetes. The week before, Chancellor George Osborne unveiled a sugar tax, while at the start of March, there was the launch of the £3m advertising campaign One You to get people to become healthier. And that followed the tough new guidelines on alcohol consumption which were unveiled at the start of the year. For a Conservative government that has traditionally rallied against the so-called nanny state, it represents a remarkable change in tack. In the early years of the coalition, there was a much more hands-off approach. The government launched its responsibility deal to try to get industry to take small steps such as reducing the sugar and fat content of foods, but apart from further crackdowns on smoking (a ban on tobacco displays in shops and the introduction of plain packaging to name just two), ministers were much quieter on the public-health front. That, of course, has now changed. Completely. The sugar tax - to be introduced in two years' time - is really quite a radical step. It has been tried in only a handful of countries. The situation is similar for a minimum price for alcohol, which is still being actively considered here. In the summer, ministers are expected to announce a wide-ranging childhood-obesity strategy that could see tough restrictions placed on marketing and promotion of unhealthy foods. Those two-for-one offers that prove so tempting in the cake and biscuit aisles could certainly be one victim of the crackdown. 40% of deaths are related to lifestyle £11bn spent by the NHS every year treating lifestyle-related illnesses 3/4 men and 2/3 women aged 45-64 are overweight or obese 5% of the heaviest drinkers consume 30% of all alcohol 8 million adults - almost one in five - smoke So why suddenly such gusto to get us to live healthier lives? When announcing the sugar tax in the Budget, the chancellor made it clear he was doing it for the good of the nation, saying: "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.'" Other ministers have been saying similar things. And certainly the mounting evidence on sugar has played its part in convincing them to act. But there's also a more hard-headed calculation here. The lifestyles we lead are costing the nation and, in particular, the NHS money. Some £11bn a year, to be precise. And cutting back on the burden is critical to the future of the health service. Evidence suggests by 2020 there will be a black hole of £30bn. That is massive when you consider the NHS budget is currently just over £100bn. The government has promised an extra £8.4bn this Parliament. Another £5bn is to come from increased productivity from steps such as tackling sickness absence and saving money through better procurement. Ministers will also undoubtedly look to save on the wage bill by limiting salary increases. There is also hope money can be saved by transforming services (by which the government means keeping people out of hospital). But that will still leave the NHS short - and this is where, it hopes, tackling unhealthy lifestyles come in. Read more from Nick Follow Nick on Twitter Scientists from Norfolk-based British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) had been following Chris the cuckoo since satellite-tagging him in 2011. However, the bird, named after wildlife presenter Chris Packham, was reported "missing in action" last month. The bird had most likely "perished in the Sahara Desert", the BTO said. It was part of a project aimed at tracking the species' migration, set up in an attempt to determine why the cuckoo population has declined by 65% in the last 25 years. The bird was one of 16 being tracked as they made the annual 5,000-mile journey south to Africa for the winter. However, five-year-old Chris had been the only one to have consistently provided UK scientists with migration data since being fitted with his solar-powered satellite-tracking tag. Chris Packham said the bird's data was "vital" in helping to understand the cuckoos' decline. It left its Suffolk nesting site on 4 July but poor communication in August from its tag led to concern about its fate. "It is pretty clear now that Chris the Cuckoo... is no longer alive, having succumbed in the desert areas of northern Chad," a BTO spokesman said. "Cuckoos have faired badly this year due to a cold and wet UK summer. "Chris therefore started his migration in less than ideal fitness and would have then encountered very challenging drought conditions in Italy on his way to Africa. "It's therefore not surprising that he perished in the middle of the Sahara Desert." Only one ambulance was on duty in the city on St Patrick's night. Staff from nearby stations had to be called in to help cover emergency call-outs. NIAS spokesman John McPoland said: "The longest delay was around an hour and that was for an intoxicated patient." The ambulance service received 34 emergency calls in Derry city between 20:00 GMT on Monday night and 08:00 GMT on Tuesday morning. Twenty-four of those calls received an ambulance response. The other 10 were cancelled. "A member of staff took sick and the shift was unable to be covered," said Mr McPoland. "We apologise to any patient who may have suffered a delay in response to their 999 call. "We are always concerned when we can't provide the cover we want to, but we couldn't do anything about it." Mr McPoland said there were usually two ambulances on duty in Derry on a Monday evening. "No-one would argue that resources are always an issue," he added. Emergency crews were called just before midnight on Sunday to the terraced home in Manchester Road. South Western Ambulance said six people were treated at the scene, with five of those taken to hospitals in Bristol and Swindon. Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue said it was a "traumatic incident" and an investigation was under way. A 16-month-old girl, a 60-year-old man and two women aged 20 and 21 are in a serious condition in hospitals in Swindon and Bristol. A boy aged 13 and a 23-year-old woman were also injured but are not thought to be in a critical condition. People in neighbouring properties were provided with shelter at a local mosque during the night while fire crews dealt with the blaze. Chase the Ace is a lottery game popular all over Canada's east coast, and often raises money for charity. The winner of each week's draw gets to pick one card out of a deck; the ace of spades wins the jackpot. A record-breaking-million-dollar game has attracted thousands of people to the Goulds area of St John's. With 12 cards left in the deck, the jackpot in Goulds has grown to C$1m ($800,000, £613,000) and people are lining up as early as 06:00 local time to buy tickets. Run entirely by volunteers to help raise money for St Kevin's Parish, the jackpot has broken the previous provincial record of C$733,000. Each Wednesday, when tickets are sold and drawn, the neighbourhood is overwhelmed with traffic, as thousands of people vie for their chance to win it all. The crowds overwhelm mobile phone towers, making it impossible to make a phone call or send a text message, and traffic is so bad authorities have had to close the road and ban parking on some streets. "Everything is rocking on Wednesday nights, which is usually a slow night," parish spokesperson Carol O'Brien told the St John's Telegram. "Every business in the Goulds is booming and it is fantastic." Things got a little extra-heated this week when people discovered that a printing error caused some tickets to be duplicated. Service NL, the governmental organisation that regulates gambling in the province, had to postpone this week's draw while it investigated the matter. "I am going out of town tomorrow morning," Michelle Skinner told the Telegram. "I know a lot of people also drove in from out of town, so I am sure it is frustrating for a lot of people, including the organisers." This is not the first time Atlantic Canada has caught Chase-the-Ace fever. The game was born in Nova Scotia in 2013, reaching a jackpot of about $200,000. But as the game's popularity spread across the region, so too did its winnings. In 2016, a game in Sydney, Nova Scotia, reached jackpot of C$2.9m with just five cards left in the deck, the largest jackpot to date. The winner, grandmother Kathy McPherson, donated part of the money to the victims of Fort McMurray fire. Until now, white-nose syndrome has only been recorded in the eastern US but the latest case means the fungal infection has jumped 1,300 miles (2,100km). The killer pathogen, first recorded in New York in 2006, is now present in 28 states and five Canadian provinces. It has been described as the worst US wildlife health crisis in recent years. On 11 March, a hiker discovered a sick little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) while walking in Washington state and handed it in to a local animal welfare centre. Two days later, the bat died. While carrying out an examination, the centre's vet noticed visual symptoms consistent with the disease and it was decided to run tests on the dead bat. David Blehert, from the US Geological Survey's (USGS) National Wildlife Center, said samples returned "strongly positive" results. He added: "We have also cultured the fungus... from tissues of the bat, and work that we are continuing to pursue is genetic characterisations of this fungus to see if it is most closely related to strains... that are known to exist in North America or whether it is perhaps more closely related to strains found elsewhere in the world." US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) spokeswoman Catherine Hibbard said the arrival of WNS in Washington state opened "a new chapter" in efforts to tackle the disease. "We have hundreds of agencies across the country that are working to solve this problem, including our new partners from the state of Washington," she told reporters. "We do not know how this story will go or where it will end but what we do know is that we are in a much better place than we were when white-nose syndrome first hit the east coast almost a decade ago." (Source: US Fish & Wildlife Service) White-nose syndrome (WNS) is named after the white fungus that appears on infected animals, Bats infected with the disease have been observed displaying strange behaviour during winter months, when the animals are expected to be hibernating in caves and mines. It is believed that the disease disrupts hibernation, causing the bats to fly outside into conditions that are too cold and lack food for the small mammals. The fungus that has been demonstrated to cause WNS, Pseudogymnoascus destructans (formerly known as Geomyces destructans), thrives in dark, damp places such as caves and mines. A series of studies have painted a bleak picture for at least half of US bat species, which rely on hibernation for winter survival and are therefore potentially susceptible to the disease. Writing in the journal Science in August 2010, a team of researchers warned that some species' populations could become locally extinct within two decades. Another team estimated the loss of bat species, which help control pest populations, would cost US agriculture more than $3.7bn (£2.6bn) a year. Studies have also attempted to develop a better understanding of the fungus itself and how it affects bats in different parts of the world. A 2012 paper described how the fungus was found in populations of bats in Europe without triggering mass mortality. Earlier this month, researcher published details of a study that showed bat populations in China displayed a strong resistance to the fungal infection. They added that the findings suggested that some US bat species might develop an ability to fight the disease. US FWS national white-nose syndrome co-ordinator Jeremy Coleman said the first step after this confirmation of WNS would be to conduct surveillance near where the bat was found to determine the extent of the fungal infection in the area. Officials also confirmed in a media conference on Thursday that WNS had been confirmed in Rhode Island for the first time, a state in the New England region of the US. Follow Mark on Twitter The suspension order from the Scottish government applies to birds most at risk: all poultry and game bird species, ducks, geese and swans. Gatherings of pigeons, aviary birds and birds of prey can go ahead. The move follows the confirmation of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N8 in Lincolnshire. Similar restrictions have been imposed in England. An avian influenza prevention zone declared across Scotland at the start of December remains in force until 6 January. Rural economy secretary Fergus Ewing said: "The arrival of H5N8 in the UK highlights how essential it is that bird keepers remain vigilant for signs of disease and comply with the requirements of the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone currently in place. "I would urge bird keepers to review their biosecurity measures to ensure that they are doing everything they possibly can to protect their flocks." Scotland's chief vet Sheila Voas added: "I strongly advise keepers to discuss their specific arrangements with their private vets, or local Animal Plant and Health Agency office, as they are best placed to provide practical advice for your situation. "Keepers who are concerned about the health or welfare of their flock should seek veterinary advice immediately. "Expert advice remains that consumers should not be concerned about eating eggs or poultry and the threat to public health from the virus is very low." The pair smashed an incredible 149 runs off just 12.5 overs after a rain delay during Kent's 290-3 from 42 overs. Needing a revised 293, Glamorgan were given a platform by half-centuries from David Lloyd (65) and Will Bragg (52). Despite three wickets from James Tredwell, Ingram struck six sixes as Glamorgan won with seven balls left. The game was notable for some magnificent hitting from both teams. Billings, who was dropped off a skier by Michael Hogan on 27, moved from his fifty to three figures in just 17 balls, and faced just 54 deliveries in total. The stand of 170 with Denly was a fourth-wicket record for Kent in List A cricket, beating Chris Tavare and Alan Ealham's 146 back in 1980. But Ingram took over the latter stage of Glamorgan's chase as he repeatedly targeted the short side of the ground. It was his second match-winning knock of the weekend after making 64 not out in the T20 Blast win over Gloucestershire two days before. Kent next host Somerset on Tuesday, while Glamorgan are home to Middlesex on the same day. Sam Billings told BBC Radio Kent: "At halfway we were very happy with the way we batted and the score we put on the board. "But on a small ground like Canterbury on a good wicket you're never out of it chasing these days. On his century - "It was a bit of fun. Once you get into that flow you're not really thinking, you're just watching the ball and trying to hit it in the middle of the bat. "I was happy with how I played. I got a bit of luck [after being dropped on 27] but thankfully it came off today." Glamorgan batsman Colin Ingram told BBC Wales Sport: "The guys really played smartly upfront, I thought Lloydy [David Lloyd] played an outstanding innings to get us off to a great stand with his fifty and Braggy [Will Bragg] helped out as well. "They set it up nicely and fortunately we got the momentum going, and it just kept going- a very enjoyable win. "I grew up in a place where the wind always blew one way, so you soon learnt to hit in one direction- when you're hitting it well you've got to try to make it count. "You can't take anything for granted (in the competition), you want to be stringing the wins together in the business end, but we can take a lot of confidence out of the last couple of games and keep kicking on." The woman had recently returned from an overseas trip, said Queensland Health, but gave no further details. She was diagnosed on Tuesday. It is Australia's third case of Zika, following two people in Queensland who also caught it abroad. Zika has been linked to a condition called microcephaly, in which babies are born with underdeveloped brains. An international health emergency has been declared by the World Health Organization over the virus, which has spread rapidly in South and Central America, as well as the Caribbean. Brazil has been particularly badly affected, prompting concern about its hosting of this summer's Olympics. While the mosquito-borne disease is a concern for women who are, or may become, pregnant, most other sufferers experience only mild symptoms, such as fevers and skin rashes. Mr Dorchester said in October last year that he would leave the post in March 2017. He said a move to nationalise ferry services had changed his mind. Following talks with CalMac's board and Transport Minister Humza Yousaf, he said he had decided to stay on to help the company through this new phase. Mr Dorchester's role includes being chief executive of CalMac's parent company David MacBrayne Ltd. CalMac operates ferry routes on Scotland's west coast. Lancashire County Council, Blackpool Council and Blackburn with Darwen Council issued 4,800 penalty notices in the past academic year. The Press Association figures also showed Bradford second with 3,319 and Redbridge third with 2,523. The Government said it was a myth that missing school was harmless. The figures gathered by Freedom of Information requests also showed Somerset with the largest percentage increase over the past year, giving out 1,034 fines in 2014/15 - up from 75 the previous year. Councils said schools across the country had fined more parents as part of a Department for Education crackdown on term-time absences, although fining was left to an individual headteacher's discretion. Lancashire county councillor Matthew Tomlinson said it had more schools than any other local authority in the country, so it was unsurprising it had handed out the most fines. He said: "Headteachers in Lancashire and across the country have always been able to grant leave during term-time in certain circumstances, including for holidays. "However, in line with stricter government guidelines, headteachers are now only able to authorise absence in exceptional circumstances." He added: "We encourage schools to work closely with parents to reduce unauthorised absences, and our aim throughout is not to punish parents." A Department for Education spokesman said: "Our evidence shows missing the equivalent of just one week a year from school can mean a child is significantly less likely to achieve good GCSE grades, having a lasting effect on their life chances." Lee Novak opened the scoring for the League One visitors with a rasping shot into the top-left corner from Tarique Fosu's pass. But Murphy's first-time effort from outside the area and a fine solo goal turned it around for the Canaries. Marley Watkins' tap-in and Tom Trybull's late volley completed the victory for the Championship side. Murphy, the twin brother of Jacob, who moved to Newcastle United this summer, was the standout performer and could have had a hat-trick had Dillon Phillips not denied the forward with a fine stop. Charlton's best opportunity to get back in the game came when they were 2-1 down, but Josh Magennis headed wide. Match ends, Norwich City 4, Charlton Athletic 1.

Supporters of cleric Moqtada Sadr broke through barricades of the fortified Green Zone in protest against delays in approving a new cabinet. A state of emergency was declared in Baghdad after the protests. Supporters of Mr Sadr want MPs to push through plans to replace ministers with political affiliations with non-partisan technocrats. Powerful parties in parliament have refused to approve the change for several weeks. The BBC's Ahmed Maher in Baghdad says this is one of the country's worst political crises since the US-led invasion and downfall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. Systemic political patronage has aided corruption in Iraq, depleting the government's resources as it struggles to cope with declining oil revenue and the war against the jihadist group Islamic State (IS). Earlier this week, hundreds of thousands of people marched towards the Green Zone, the most secure part of Baghdad that houses embassies and government buildings, to protest against the political deadlock. Parliament again failed to reach a quorum on Saturday, after which the protest escalated and saw hundreds of people tear down blast walls and storm the parliament building. Inside the chamber, jubilant demonstrators took up the seats of the deputies and posed for photos. Nearby, United Nations and embassy staff were on lockdown inside their compounds, Reuters reported. After the protest, demonstrators set up camp outside the parliament, and many were still there on Sunday. Despite Mr Abadi's order - made after he visited the damaged parliament building - there are no indications that any arrests have taken place. Iraq's system of sharing government jobs has long been criticised for promoting unqualified candidates and encouraging corruption. The government is carefully balanced between party and religious loyalties, but the country ranks 161st of 168 on corruption watchdog Transparency International's corruption perceptions index. "Either corrupt (officials) and quotas remain or the entire government will be brought down and no one will be exempted," Mr Sadr said in a televised address shortly before parliament was stormed. Mr Abadi, who came to power in 2014, has promised to stamp out corruption and ease sectarian tensions, but he has failed to far to introduce a new technocratic cabinet. Correspondents say the political deadlock in Baghdad has diverted attention away from the government's ongoing fight against Islamic State militants. On Sunday IS claimed a twin car-bomb attack that killed at least 14 people and wounded dozens in the southern city of Samawa. Attacks by the IS group are relatively rare the mainly Shia south. IS holds positions mostly in Sunni areas of western and northern Iraq. The Shia cleric and his militia group, the Mehdi Army, gained prominence after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. galvanising anti-US sentiment. Mr Sadr's followers clashed repeatedly with US forces, whose withdrawal the cleric consistently demanded. An arrest warrant was issued for Mr Sadr in 2004 in connection with the murder of a rival cleric. His militia was also blamed for the torture and killing of thousands of Sunnis in the sectarian carnage of 2006 and 2007. Mr Sadr fled to Iran during that period. In 2011, Mr Sadr returned from his self-imposed exile to Iraq, taking a more conciliatory tone and calling for Iraqi unity and peace. The country boasts spectacular scenery, including Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable lake. A growing number of visitors are being drawn to its variety of attractions. The country has been experiencing an economic boom. Foreign investors, attracted by the government and encouraged by favourable conditions, have been keen to get involved in exploiting the country's mineral wealth, sometimes in the face of local resistance. Peru has become the world's leading producer of cocaine. The country is still trying to come to terms with the trauma of a two-decade conflict - roughly from 1980 to 2000 - between the state and leftist guerrilla groups, the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement and the Shining Path, which still has a following.

Lima is home to dozens of radio stations and several TV services. By late 2015 some 16 million Peruvians were online - 53% of the population. There is a stark disparity between urban and rural internet penetration. Some key dates in Peru's history: 1532-33 - Spanish conquistadores defeat the Incas, whose empire subsequently becomes part of the Vice-royalty of Peru with its capital in Lima. 1780 - Failed Inca revolt against Spanish led by Tupac Amaru II. 1824 - Peru is last colony in South America to gain independence from Spain. 1849-74 - Some 80,000-100,000 Chinese workers arrive in Peru to do menial jobs such as collecting guano. 1866 - Peruvian-Spanish war. 1879-83 - Peru and Bolivia are defeated by Chile during the Pacific War in which Peru loses territory to Chile. 1941 - Brief border war with Ecuador over disputed territory. The two countries clash again in 1981. 1948 - Military government installed following coup. 1963 - Peru returns to civilian rule, but in 1968 military takes over again. Gen Juan Velasco Alvarado introduces populist land reform programme and carries out large-scale nationalisations. 1980 - Return to civilian rule. 1980-2000 - Civil war involving Shining Path, or Sendero Luminoso, guerrillas seeking to overthrow the government. The conflict is estimated to claim 70,000 lives. 2000 - Congress sacks President Alberto Fujimori, who is later jailed for abuse of power and ordering death squad killings. 2011 onwards - Anti-mining protests.

Thieves struck after maintenance workers laid new turf on 10 graves in an older part of the cemetery. Officers believe the most recent of the thefts happened between 16:00 on Thursday and 11:00 on Friday and have appealed for information. Insp Derek Easton, of Police Scotland, said thieves had shown a "lack of respect" for the dead. He said: "Although the turf was only worth around £40, we are treating it as a serious matter given the location of the crime and the lack of respect shown for those buried in the cemetery." The relationship between the mainstream media and Trump is tense - and may soon get even worse. President-elect Trump said on Tuesday that whenever Arthur Sulzberger Jr, the publisher of the New York Times, thinks he's wrong about something, he should give Trump a call. Trump made his suggestion during a meeting at the Times that he'd arranged, then cancelled, and then put back on the calendar. Trump's offer revealed his managerial style: he likes to make deals - and seems eager to please. Besides that, the exchange captured one of the fundamental truths about the relationship between the president-elect and the journalists who've traditionally covered the White House, reporters for organisations such as the New York Times, the Washington Post and CNN. Trump is willing to change things around to make people happy or when it suits him. Everything can be negotiated, including the scheduling of meetings and positions on issues. During the campaign, for example, he said a wall would be built along the US-Mexico border. After the election, he said that part of it could be a fence. He'd also demanded a criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton. He backed down after he was elected, saying: "I don't want to hurt the Clintons." In contrast journalists at the mainstream organisations don't like last-minute schedule changes or sudden, unexpected shifts in policy. They also don't like feeling beholden to elected officials. Reporters from non-traditional organisations such as Breitbart have applauded his efforts, however. Breitbart has been described by some as a right-wing opinion and news outlet; others characterise it as savage, racist, and anti-Semitic. Trump recently appointed Stephen Bannon, the chairman of Breitbart, as a senior counsellor at the White House. Earlier this week TV executives and correspondents from mainstream organisations attended an off-the-record meeting at Trump Tower, planning to push for more access to the president-elect. They hoped that they would be able to come to a better understanding about logistics and coverage of the White House. Instead, Trump berated them for their biased coverage, as he portrayed it, and for using unflattering images of him. After news of the meeting leaked out, media executives, speaking off the record with the New Yorker's David Remnick, unleashed a stream of expletives and said the president-elect doesn't seem to understand the First Amendment. "This was unprecedented," said one person who was at the meeting. "Outrageous!" The relationship between the mainstream journalists and the president-elect has been fraught with misunderstandings - and laced with rage. Trump regularly lashes out at these reporters on social media and in other forums. In turn, these journalists are mystified and angry. As I've been travelling with the press corps during the transition, it's clear that many of them can't believe he won the election. They've also been frustrated by his abrupt shifts in policy and his decision-making process. "How am I supposed to cover this?" one reporter said to me recently, looking at a laptop that he held open in front of him. He said he wasn't sure how to describe the president-elect's foreign policy since he'd changed his mind so often. Like it or not, the president-elect and journalists are now stuck with each other. At this point - more than two weeks since Trump won the election - it's time for both sides to take stock. The president-elect and many of the journalists who cover him may hold each other in mutual contempt, but they have a shared history. Trump made his career through the media: he became famous in the 1980s because of his books and real-estate deals. He made a splash with The Apprentice in the 2000s. He followed news coverage carefully, and the more of it the better. "He was obsessed with publicity," said Tony Schwartz, a journalist who later became his ghostwriter, "He didn't care what you wrote." During the campaign, Trump was buoyed by wall-to-wall media coverage. Yet he uses the major media outlets as a punching bag. He's targeted CNN, NBC and other organisations, calling them elitist. The New York Times is, of course, the "failing" media organisation. He's accused the Washington Post's owner, Jeff Bezos, of trying to rip off the public through unfair tax schemes. Trump demonises these media organisations, as well as their executives and reporters, and this way makes it hard for the media to be seen as impartial. This puts mainstream journalists in a bad spot. Many of them feel that when it comes to covering Trump, they can't win. They feel offended by his actions - and resent the way that he acts in his job. Meanwhile trust in the media has sunk to its lowest point, according to Gallup. Trump knows that the media is widely disliked in many other parts of the US, and he's played to his audience. At one point during the campaign, Trump was yelling at the media for not showing on camera how big his rallies were. Cameramen started filming people who were standing in the audience. "And they'd flip them off," said James Ledbetter, the editor of Inc magazine and a media critic, describing the way Trump supporters gave journalists the middle finger. Even after Trump won the election, he remained in attack mode. On 13 November he tweeted: "The @nytimes states today that DJT believes 'more countries should acquire nuclear weapons.' How dishonest are they. I never said this!" In fact he'd told Times reporters months earlier that he thought Japanese leaders would be better off if they had nuclear weapons. He was just as relentless with TV journalists. On Monday he dressed them down during a meeting. His supporters seemed pleased with the way he acted: "TRUMP EATS PRESS," reported Breitbart. Trump likes to address his audience directly, and since the election he's refused to hold a press conference. Instead he's bypassed the media, choosing to speak to his supporters through pre-packaged presentations. On Monday, for example, he released a video about his new policies and his effort to assemble a cabinet. None of this should come as a surprise, since he had a similar relationship with the media during the campaign. Still as Keith Kelly, a New York Post media columnist, told me: "You kind of hope it will magically change once he arrives in the White House. But early signs post-election are still for a very strained relationship." Still at a personal level he seems to want journalists to like him - and seeks their approval. He invited reporters to visit his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. He'd been reluctant to let the pool of reporters accompany him during this travels, but he seems to have softened his views a bit. He let me and other members the press pool travel in his motorcade on Sunday. On that day at his golf club, he answered questions that were shouted operatically by my colleagues. He chastised Hamilton cast members for asking Vice-President-elect Mike Pence to "uphold our American values". Their request, said Trump, was "very inappropriate". He critiqued Saturday Night Live: "Not much of a show." When asked about Trump University litigation, though, he said nothing. "Either he's a brilliant tactician who realises he can drop a bomb on Hamilton and change the subject," said Harvard's Matt Baum, who writes about media and politics. "Or he was just being impulsive." Many White House correspondents don't think all his flip-flops have been bad, particularly his row back on the use of torture. Trump told reporters on Monday he no longer believes in torture. He reversed a brutal stance he'd taken during the campaign. After speaking with a retired general, he said, he realised that torture wouldn't "make the kind of a difference that a lot of people are thinking". Still rapid-fire shifts in policy have repercussions. As president, he could create massive uncertainty, a situation that reporters will try - as best they can - to cover. "This is going to be one of the darker and more dangerous things about the Trump presidency," said New York University's Jay Rosen. "In authoritarian states, confusion is the baseline," he said. "You can never really tell what's going on, and the confusion is a political tool to keep people powerful." Follow @Tara_Mckelvey Fuelled by emotive arguments rather than fact-checks, it was a phrase that tried to capture the gut-instinct, anti-establishment politics that swept Donald Trump and Brexit supporters to victory. Oxford Dictionaries made it the word of the year, defining it as where "objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief". But what does this new world mean for academics and scientists whose whole purpose is trying to establish objective facts? AC Grayling, public thinker, master of the New College of the Humanities, and Remain campaigner, views the post-truth world with undisguised horror. The philosopher, awarded a CBE in the New Year Honours, warns of the "corruption of intellectual integrity" and damage to "the whole fabric of democracy". But where does he think the post-truth world has come from? "The world changed after 2008," says Prof Grayling - politics since the financial crash has been shaped by a "toxic" growth in income inequality. As well as the gap between rich and poor, he says a deep sense of grievance has grown among middle-income families, who have faced a long stagnation in earnings. With a groundswell of economic resentment, he says, it is not difficult to "inflame" emotions over issues such as immigration and to cast doubt on mainstream politicians. Another key ingredient in the post-truth culture, says Prof Grayling, has been the rise of social media. It's not the soundbite any more, but the "i-bite", he says, where strong opinion can shout down evidence. "The whole post-truth phenomenon is about, 'My opinion is worth more than the facts.' It's about how I feel about things. "It's terribly narcissistic. It's been empowered by the fact that you can publish your opinion. You used to need a pot of paint and a balaclava to publish your opinion, if you couldn't get a publisher. "But all you need now is an iPhone. Everyone can publish their opinion - and if you disagree with me, it's an attack on me and not my ideas. "The fact that you can muscle your way on to the front row and be noticed becomes a kind of celebrity." "Fake news" on social media became part of the post-election debate in the US - and Prof Grayling warns of an online culture that can't distinguish between fact and fiction. "Put the words 'did the' into Google and one of the first things you see is, 'Did the Holocaust happen?' and the links will take you to claims that it didn't," he says. This process is "corrosive of our public conversation and our democracy" and he warns of a culture where a few claims on Twitter can have the same credibility as a library full of research. Appropriately for a philosopher, he identifies post-modernism and relativism as the intellectual roots "lurking in the background" of post-truth. "Everything is relative. Stories are being made up all the time - there is no such thing as the truth. You can see how that has filtered its way indirectly into post-truth." He says this has unintentionally "opened the door" to a type of politics untroubled by evidence. But hasn't this always been part of the battle of ideas? Prof Grayling tells the story of Adlai Stevenson, the unsuccessful liberal contender in the 1952 US presidential election, who was told: "Mr Stevenson, every thinking person in America is going to vote for you. And he said: 'Great, but I need a majority.'" But the philosopher argues that there has been a significant shift beyond the boundaries of election spinning and into something fundamentally different. He places his argument into a historical perspective, saying the international landscape is more like the volatile, intolerant era before World War Two. "There are some really uncomfortable parallels with the 1930s," he says. "These guys have realised you don't need facts, you just lie." He was a driving force behind creating the European Central Bank and the single currency. Mr Tietmeyer ran Germany's central bank from 1993 until his retirement in 1999. He was a staunch proponent of keeping prices and currencies stable, as well as safeguarding the independence of central banks from political interference. "Hans Tietmeyer was an outstanding president, whose actions always followed clear and consistent lines aimed at maintaining monetary stability," Bundesbank president Jens Weidmann said in a statement. Mr Tietmeyer's tough stance on the economy made him a target of the leftwing extremist Red Army Faction, which claimed responsibility for an assassination attempt on him in 1988. He survived the attack after the assailant's gun jammed. Born on August 18, 1931, Mr Tietmeyer was one of eleven children and grew up in the small town of Metelen. A devout Catholic, he once considered entering the priesthood, before going on to earn a doctorate in economics and social science. Mr Tietmeyer began his career as a junior official in the German economics ministry and rose through the ranks to become deputy finance minister under former chancellor Helmut Kohl. He joined the Bundesbank executive board in 1990 and ran it during a critical period following German reunification. Mr Tietmeyer notably opposed the German government in 1997 over its plans to revalue the country's gold reserves to plug a budget shortfall. The way he ran the Bundesbank and his approach to budgetary discipline influenced the model for the ECB, which sets limits for government deficits. "Germany and Europe have much to thank Hans Tietmeyer for," former ECB president Jean-Claude Trichet once said in a speech. "He was resolute in ensuring that the euro would be a stable currency." Members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) are taking indefinite action in a row over the removal of weekend payments. The dispute began more than two years ago with action initially taking place at weekends. National Museum Wales (NMW) said there was no more money to improve the offer and urged the union to accept it. "We are extremely disappointed that the Public and Commercial Services Union have broken the agreement they signed up to at ACAS by not balloting their members on our offer and by undertaking strike action," the statement said. NMW has started individual discussions with staff affected by proposals to scrap "premium payments". As part of a deal, staff are being offered a lump sum equivalent to two years' worth of premium payments to end extra payments for working weekends and bank holidays. About 300 of the museum's staff receive the payments and 220 are PCS members. The museum has sites in Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Blaenavon, Torfaen, Llanberis in Gwynedd, and Llandysul, Ceredigion. The accident happened on Sunday in Wilburton, Cambridgeshire. Dave McCarthy, who rents the house, said "about 20 tonnes of maize" on the trailer ended up in his living room. No-one was in at the time of the crash. No action would be taken against the driver, a 26-year-old man from Ely, who was uninjured, police said. The crash, at about 09:00 BST, "blew both front doors out but thankfully nobody was here and nobody got hurt", said Mr McCarthy, who was at work at the time of the crash. "I'd even decided at the last minute to take the dog to work with me, otherwise she would have no doubt been buried in maize, as it was knee-deep." He said it was "an accident waiting to happen". "We'd like to see traffic calming measures, having seen how the lorries and tractors come through this village, but unless the road is reclassified as an 'A' road, that can't happen," he added. In January 2011, before Mr McCarthy moved in, a tractor carrying carrots crashed into the front of the house, which then had to be partially rebuilt Bishop Gore School student Nyah James was described as a vibrant girl who was popular with pupils and staff. Her family said they loved her with all their hearts and their lives would never be the same again. South Wales Police are investigating the death at an address in the Blaenymaes area of Swansea. In a statement her family said: "Nyah was a beautiful vibrant 14-year-old child that had her whole life ahead of her. "Due to circumstances that were beyond our control we lost our little girl. She loved her friends, her family and we loved her with all of our heart. "She had so much ahead of her and wanted to travel and see the world." Head teacher Ryan Davies said the school was deeply saddened by the death of Miss James who had been "achieving well". Pupils and staff were receiving support following the news. A massive relief operation is continuing to get food and medicines to tens of thousands people. Many residents are living in shelters after their homes were submerged. Railways and Chennai's main airport, which has been flooded, are due to resume some operations on Saturday. More than 260 people have died after the heaviest rainfall in a century. The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder reports from Chennai (Madras) that many people, particularly in working class neighbourhoods, say they have suffered huge losses and want the government to offer them financial assistance to help rebuild their lives. The rains, the heaviest in 100 years, are being blamed on climate change and many in Chennai say the city needs to prepare better to face extreme weather patterns, our correspondent says. Floodwaters started receding on Friday from parts of Chennai, hours after it experienced a respite from rain. More than 7,000 people have been rescued so far, but many are still stranded, reports say. Thousands of houses are reportedly still under water with many people trapped inside them. Troops have set up 25 shelters and community kitchens for the flood victims. In pictures: Chennai flooding Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised $150m (??99m) to the flood-hit Tamil Nadu state. A depression in the Bay of Bengal has triggered rains in coastal areas. Last month, non-stop rain for nearly a week brought the city to a standstill. Three days of fresh rains have again led to massive flooding, inundating homes, hospitals, roads, railway tracks and the city's airport. Forecasts of more showers remain in place. A total of 269 people are now known to have died in floods in Tamil Nadu state since last month. Mr Putin said he had asked President Bashar al-Assad how he would view such a force during his surprise visit to Moscow on Tuesday. "He answered: 'Positively'," Mr Putin told a conference with foreign dignitaries in southern Russia. "We are contemplating this and will try to implement it," he added. He called for Kurdish groups to join forces with the Syrian and Iraqi governments against IS. However, opposition forces fighting on the ground in Syria have consistently demanded President Assad step down as a condition for negotiations on a political solution to the crisis. This viewpoint was reiterated by US Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday, who said the Syrian president was the "one thing" standing in the way of uniting Syrians and helping them to choose their own future leadership. Mr Kerry is due to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, as well as their Turkish and Saudi counterparts in Vienna on Friday to discuss the conflict. More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and a million injured in more than four years of conflict that began with anti-government protests before escalating into full-scale civil war. President Putin's comments were woven through with mixed messages and contradictions. On the one hand he accused the US and its allies of playing a double game in Syria, attacking some terrorist groups while siding with others for their own ends. He said the West's attempt to divide terrorist groups into "moderate" and "non-moderate" was mistaken. On the other hand, he also seemed to concede that Russia would need to bring the US-led coalition and Syria's moderate opposition forces on board for any political settlement to work. He said he still hoped the US would agree to work with Russia, and he'd even asked President Assad - who was in Moscow this week - if he could work with moderate opposition forces on the ground. Mr Putin was clear he is ruling out partition for Syria. He probably doesn't want Russia's air campaign to last too long, to avoid casualties. So if he is serious about a peace deal, he may gauge that winning round more partners is the only way for any putative Russian plan for Syria not to fail. Speaking at the Valdai discussion forum in Sochi, Mr Putin said Russia was close to exchanging data about militant positions in Syria with the West. He said the terrorist threat represented an opportunity for Russia and the West to work together. But he said Russia had no plans to expand its air strikes on the group into Iraq because the Iraqi government had not asked Russia for help. Military victory over jihadist groups would not solve all the problems in Syria, Mr Putin argued, but it would enable a political solution to get under way in which Syrians could decide their own fate. And he chided the West for "dividing terrorists into moderates and non-moderates". "You can't beat terrorism if terrorists are used as an excuse to oust undesirable regimes," he said. The US criticised Bashar al-Assad's visit to Russia, accusing Mr Putin of putting out a "red carpet welcome" for the Syrian president, who it says used chemical weapons against Syrian civilians. During his visit, Mr Assad said Russia's involvement had stopped "terrorism" becoming "more widespread and harmful" in Syria. In May, it was announced that consultations would take place over the possible closure of 10 state-run residential care homes. However, that process has now been put on hold by the health minister. It comes after Four Seasons Health Care said it was closing seven privately-owned care homes. The seven care home closures will affect 254 patients and 393 staff. Four Seasons said it was closing them because they are "operating at a loss". The firm still runs another 62 care homes throughout Northern Ireland. It is the UK's largest private care home operator. Following news of the closures, Health Minister Simon Hamilton said he had now asked the Health and Social Care Board to "halt and review" the consultation on state-owned care homes. "Some of these proposals to close some [statutory] homes were predicated on spare capacity within the independent sector," Mr Hamilton said. "When some capacity within the independent sector's being reduced, I think it's only right and proper that we pause and reflect and carefully consider the implications." A spokesman for the company described the decision as "difficult but unavoidable". "The principal reason behind this decision is that each of these homes is operating at a loss and they are no longer viable," he added. "The fee income that the homes receive is below the cost of the care they are providing and we have effectively been paying a subsidy for them to continue to provide care. We regret that we cannot continue to sustain this position." In its statement, the firm also said the "national shortage of nurses" meant it had been difficult to recruit and retain permanent staff "of the right calibre". "This leaves the homes reliant on temporary agency nurses in order to maintain staffing levels, that carries a high cost and presents challenges in maintaining the quality of care we expect to provide." Staff affected by the closures may be able to transfer to the company's other care homes, if suitable vacancies are available. "We would like to retain as many employees as we can and we expect that most of our nurses and a substantial number of our care staff will be able to transfer," the firm's statement said. The union Unison is to hold negotiations with Four Seasons and has also contacted each of Northern Ireland's five health trusts to seek urgent meetings. "The five health trusts are the major clients of Four Seasons and many of their decisions on the future of the NHS care home provision were predicated on using the private sector as an alternative provider," the union's Patricia McKeown. "We have been alerting the board and the trusts to financial problems within Four Seasons for some time now. Today's announcement is a clear indicator that residential care for our older population cannot be left to the market." The union that represents many of the employees, the GMB, said the closures had come "as a complete shock". "We and the staff had no prior warning ahead of the announcement," GMB's regional officer Alan Perry told the BBC. "We only found out at 9:45 [GMT] and they were making the announcement in the homes at 10am. There are a lot of hard-working staff affected. Some of these homes are in rural towns, where there are not many employers," Mr Perry added. Andy Graham, who works at the Oakridge Care Home in County Down, said he was angry about the lack of communication with staff before the announcement was made public. He said he did not know about the closures until he saw it on the BBC Newsline Facebook page. "I'm totally disgusted," Mr Graham told BBC Radio Ulster. "I feel more for the residents' families, they're going to have to get re-homed. It's not nice at any time of year, but especially with Christmas too just around the corner." Four Seasons Health Care will now begin a 12-week period of discussions with families and health care trusts, so none of the homes will close before the end of February 2016. In October, the company appointed advisers to carry out an emergency review of its finances. The private equity-owned firm has debt of more than £500m which attracts annual interest payments of around £50m. Reigate, Redhill & District Rail Users Association (RRDRUA) began talks with the Train Chartering Company about a service from Redhill to Victoria. Commuter Antony Simm said they simply had to get to work during the strikes planned by unions on Southern services. But the group's idea stalled when it was told no driver or train was available for a service. Mr Simm had hoped to run one return service a day on strike days but said the charter company was concerned about the "short notice". Simon Pielow, co-owner of Train Chartering Company, said: "Although it was theoretically possible and we believed Network Rail would support it, we were unable to find a train or a driver to charter the service." The trip would have cost about £60 per person with the number of tickets limited and no standing room allowed, Mr Simm added. A Network Rail spokesperson said: "Britain's railways are open to all and so long as the relevant competencies and safety checks are done and cleared then we would welcome any train operator onto our network." Mr Pielow of the Train Chartering Company said he did not know why a train and driver could not be found but said the request was received at short notice. The rail users' group has not given up on finding a solution and is now actively looking into other options, including a coach service. Mr Simm said: "Service has been horrific for a whole year but when there are no trains at all that is a whole different ball game. A lot of commuters have jobs they can't not go to." He added: "I just wish [all sides] would all get together and sort the problem out. As rail users we do not have a voice but we are the ones who are most affected." Meanwhile, drivers' union Aslef has criticised Southern trains for cancelling several services from Eastbourne on Saturday. The union, whose members have agreed a ban on working overtime, claimed the company was blaming the industrial action with Aslef saying there were drivers and staff available to run the services. Southern said the union's claims were "absolute fabricated nonsense" and the company was trying to provide "the best possible service under very challenging circumstances". 00:01 Tuesday 13 December to 23:59 Wednesday 14 December (Aslef) 00:01 Friday 16 December to 23:59: Friday 16 December (Aslef) 00:01 Monday 19 December to 23:59 Tuesday 20 December (RMT) 00:01 Saturday 31 December to 23:59 Monday 2 January (RMT) 00:01 Monday 9 January to 23:59: Saturday 14 January (Aslef) Inmates at HMP Oakwood, near Wolverhampton, and Drake Hall, in Staffordshire, carry out market research for insurance companies. The Centre for Crime Prevention said the project was "incredibly naive". But the Ministry of Justice said it was a pilot scheme which may be rolled out further if it is successful, and added the prisoners have risk assessments. A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Justice said: "We do not want prisoners sitting idle in their cells when they should be working towards their rehabilitation. "We prepare offenders for work inside prison so they can get a job after release - this reduces the chances that they will reoffend in the future, meaning lower crime and fewer victims. "All prisoners working in call centres are risk-assessed and stringent security measures are in place, with calls supervised and recorded." She said the small pilots are being monitored and would only be increased to other prisons if they were deemed successful. She added the workers cannot see sensitive information about the people they are calling, such as addresses. The phone numbers of customers are also protected as all calls are routed through a computer. "At no point can they ask the value of items, record data outside of the secure systems or deviate from a carefully-worded script," she added. The spokeswoman could not say whether any other prisons have similar schemes, nor which companies run the ones mentioned above. She confirmed the work is taking place within the confines of the prisons. On their websites, both facilities say work opportunities are available for inmates. Alex Hewson from the Prison Reform Trust said they supported the scheme. "We encourage this type of scheme because it develops skills that may prove to be useful for the workplace generally, and gives prisoners a greater chance of getting employment on release," he said. "I can understand why there may be concerns but the scheme is risk-assessed and I think it's really important those people get opportunities to help them resettle." A statement from G4S, which runs HMP Oakwood prison, said: "The call centre at HMP Oakwood is one of many partnerships we run with businesses, and enables prisoners to work towards apprenticeships and industry-recognised qualifications. "All the prisoners are carefully security checked and interviewed before working in the centre, calls are made remotely by computer, and every conversation is closely monitored by supervisors. No information from the calls is stored and there is no way any personal information can be used for any criminal purposes." Oakwood is a male prison and Drake Hall is for female offenders. At the moment Scotland is divided into four areas but the Scottish government is consulting on creating a fifth. It would include Dumfries and Galloway, the Borders, South Lanarkshire and East, South and North Ayrshire. South of Scotland Alliance chairman Colin Smyth said the move could bring additional funding to the area. The alliance - made up of Dumfries and Galloway Council, Scottish Borders Council and Scottish Enterprise - is behind the proposal for the extra region. European statisticians currently divide Scotland into four large regions - Eastern, North Eastern and South Western Scotland plus Highlands and Islands - to inform regional policy development and determine regional funding. The Scottish government has now proposed creating the fifth region which would cut the size of South Western Scotland by over a third - stripping out around 833,000 people and combining them with 113,000 from Eastern Scotland. Mr Smyth said it could have a major impact on southern Scotland. "This will have a massive benefit to Dumfries and Galloway and that is why this is something that the council, through the South of Scotland Alliance, has actually been lobbying for for some time," he said. "The final decision will be made by the UK government but we want to keep the pressure on to make sure this is a proposal that is adopted. "It will make a significant difference to our area - it will take it up to a whole new level when it comes to EU funding. "We will be able to secure funding that we have missed out on in the past." Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique designed to recover gas and oil from shale rock. But how does it work and why is it controversial? Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well. The process can be carried out vertically or, more commonly, by drilling horizontally to the rock layer and can create new pathways to release gas or can be used to extend existing channels. The term fracking refers to how the rock is fractured apart by the high pressure mixture. No. Drilling for shale gas is only at an exploratory phase in the UK. However, reserves of shale gas have been identified across large swathes of the UK, particularly in northern England. More than 100 licences have been awarded by the government to firms in the UK, allowing them to pursue a range of oil and gas exploration activities in certain areas. But before firms can begin fracking they must also receive planning permission from the relevant local council. The government has said it would make a final decision on whether to allow drilling at two sites in Lancashire, after the application was rejected by Lancashire County Council in June. An appeal will be heard next year. Applications have also been submitted in Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire. Downing Street has said shale gas planning applications in England are to be fast-tracked to crack down on councils that delay decisions. However, Labour has called for a moratorium on fracking "until we can be sure it is safe". Governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have all said they will oppose fracking - until further research is completed into its environmental impact. In 2011, energy company Cuadrilla suspended test fracking operations near Blackpool, in Lancashire, after two earthquakes of 1.5 and 2.2 magnitude hit the area A subsequent study found it was "highly probable" that shale gas test drilling triggered the tremors. A government-appointed panel said there could be more tremors as a result of fracking, but they will be too small to do structural damage above ground. It recommended greater monitoring and that operators should observe a "traffic light" regime, with tremors of magnitude 0.5 or above triggering a "red light" and an immediate halt. Fracking allows drilling firms to access difficult-to-reach resources of oil and gas. In the US it has significantly boosted domestic oil production and driven down gas prices. It is estimated to have offered gas security to the US and Canada for about 100 years, and has presented an opportunity to generate electricity at half the CO2 emissions of coal. The industry suggests fracking of shale gas could contribute significantly to the UK's future energy needs. The Task Force on Shale Gas, an industry-funded body, has said the UK needs to start fracking to establish the possible economic impact of shale gas - saying it could create thousands of jobs. The extensive use of fracking in the US, where it has revolutionised the energy industry, has prompted environmental concerns. Fracking uses huge amounts of water, which must be transported to the fracking site, at significant environmental cost. Environmentalists say potentially carcinogenic chemicals used may escape and contaminate groundwater around the fracking site. The industry suggests pollution incidents are the results of bad practice, rather than an inherently risky technique. There are also worries that the fracking process can cause small earth tremors. Campaigners say that fracking is simply distracting energy firms and governments from investing in renewable sources of energy, and encouraging continued reliance on fossil fuels. "Shale gas is not the solution to the UK's energy challenges," said Friends of the Earth energy campaigner Tony Bosworth. "We need a 21st century energy revolution based on efficiency and renewables, not more fossil fuels that will add to climate change." Following the Paris climate change deal, Friends of the Earth chief executive Craig Bennett said Mr Cameron must "end Britain's scandalous support for fossil fuels, including fracking". The government believes shale gas has the potential to provide the UK with greater energy security, growth and jobs. Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly spoken of his support for fracking, saying it could support tens of thousand of UK jobs and reduce bills. "I want us to get on board this change that is doing so much good and bringing so much benefit to North America. I want us to benefit from it here as well," he has previously said. In January, MPs overwhelmingly rejected an outright ban on fracking but ministers did pledge an "outright ban" on fracking in national parks. However, in December MPs voted to allow fracking at 1,200m below national parks, Areas of Outstanding National Beauty, the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads and World Heritage Sites. Critics, including Labour and Greenpeace, accused the government of a U-turn. Fiat will supply 100 Chrysler Pacifica vans and provide engineers to help integrate the technology. The companies described the deal as the most advanced partnership to date between Silicon Valley and a traditional carmaker. Google wants to add more cars to its fleet to increase the amount of road testing it does. Fiat's chief executive has in the past raised also concerns about the tech industry's impact on the carmakers. Sergio Marchionne called tech companies moving into the sector "disruptive interlopers" and questioned the calibre of the vehicles they could produce. "The opportunity to work closely with [Fiat] engineers will accelerate our efforts to develop a fully self-driving car that will make our roads safer," said John Krafcik, Google's head of self-driving cars. Google has said it believes driverless cars could be ready to goes on sale by 2020. "Minivans fit into the transportation fleets easily," said Karl Brauer, a senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book. "They can be a box-on-wheels and can move more humans around." The announcement of the partnership came a week after Astro Teller, the head of 'Moon Shots' at Google said the driverless cars project may soon move from under the umbrella of the Google X division that focuses on futuristic innovations and projects. Google will own the Fiat cars, and both companies will be free to work with other companies to develop driverless technology. But the deal could propel Fiat to the head of the self-driving pack and position it to become a major manufacture for Google. The event was decided on the final hole when United States' Beth Allen only managed a bogey as her Spanish rival scored par for a 10-under total. Walker, 32, produced a brilliant eagle on the 18th from 138 yards to finish on five under with 20-year-old Hall. England's Florentyna Parker finished fifth on four under.

The Environment Agency has more than 70 flood warnings in place, mainly in the South West and the Midlands, and more than 100 flood alerts across England. Overnight downpours caused some drivers to abandon their vehicles. In Devon and Somerset, the fire service was called to 18 rescues of people in vehicles caught in flood water. One of the incidents involved two people who got trapped attempting to rescue stranded cattle. In Somerset, a crew from Chew Magna went to an address in Stowey Bottom, Bishop Sutton, where they helped a woman in labour to safely leave the flood-affected property she was in. An Avon Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "She was then transferred safely to an ambulance and taken to the Royal United Hospital in Bath." Fire crews in the county received more than 130 flood-related calls during a seven-hour period, with 20 people either rescued from flooded homes or vehicles. Roy Worth, from Minehead, Somerset, had to abandon his car because of flooding on the A39 at Billbrook, where the water went up to his knees. "The roads are very bad. They're the worst I've ever seen them and I've lived here nearly 12 years," he said. The villages of Yealmpton and Tamerton Foliot in Devon are said to be "impassable". Resident Nora Tisdall said her daughter, a teacher, was unable to travel to work as the main road had been closed. She said: "The stream is pouring out over the road like a waterfall. The village is totally impassable. "I've lived here 21 years and I've never seen it flood." Across the country, a number of disruptions have been reported including: In Portbury, near Bristol, villagers were trying to save the village hall from a "torrent" of flood water. Stock at the post office in North Curry, Somerset, has been ruined after it was flooded. Owner Noel Prosser claimed it was because the main drain in the centre of the village had become blocked. Sandbags have been placed at entrances to homes, in an effort to avoid a repeat of the damage caused last month by severe downpours in Devon and Cornwall. Devon and Cornwall Police said there had been a number of reports of standing water on roads, creating a risk of cars aquaplaning. A spokesman said: "Drivers need to match their speed with the conditions." The highest rainfall overnight was on Dartmoor, Devon, with 1.3in (33mm) in 12 hours. The Environment Agency has warned heavy downpours and strong winds earlier in the week could increase the risk of surface water flooding as leaves and debris may have blocked drains. Dave Throup, from the agency, said: "It has been a story of surface water flooding, with some pretty atrocious conditions on the roads, but the rivers are now beginning to respond and I would expect quite a few more flood alerts to be going out during the day." Weather forecasters have predicted the heavy rain will spread across the east of England while continuing in the south west. There are currently 19 flood alerts and eight flood warnings in East Anglia and 16 flood alerts in the South East. Michael Silverstone, BBC Weather forecaster, said: "Tomorrow, all parts of the United Kingdom will see a spell of very heavy rain, with some very strong winds on and just ahead of the rain. "We are likely to see severe gales in exposed parts of southern and western England, Wales and Scotland, with winds gusting as high as 70mph. Even inland, some places could see gales, with winds gusting to 50 or 60mph." He added winds will ease as the rain clears by Friday morning. A 27-year-old woman was attacked at Glasgow Royal Infirmary on 18 December. The second attack happened on Wednesday and involved a 24-year-old woman. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said CCTV footage had been given to police and staff had been told to remain vigilant. Police would not confirm if the same man was behind both attacks. A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said inquiries into both incidents were ongoing. In a statement, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said: "Security patrols have been increased at Glasgow Royal Infirmary after two separate reports over the past month of assaults against two female members staff. "The hospital site is covered by extensive CCTV and all relevant footage from both incidents has been supplied to Police Scotland who are investigating. "Our security staff already carry out patrols regularly over a 24/7 period but these have been increased. We have also advised all staff to remain vigilant." The health board said it had a "strict zero tolerance policy towards violence" against staff, who it said were "entitled to work free of threats, assaults and intimidation". The health board said it took "very seriously any act of physical or verbal abuse". It added: "All our staff deserve basic courtesy and respect and to be able to work without fear of abuse or violence." The Canadian rock band completed a 40th anniversary North American tour this summer amid rumours it might be their last. Earlier this week it was reported drummer Neil Peart considered himself "retired". But in an interview with the BBC, Lee said he was "optimistic" that Rush would play live again. "As you get older and as the prospect of the end of your touring life becomes an option, you try not to take your shows and your gigs for granted," he said. "On this tour in particular it was a little more emotional than others because you're never quite sure if you are going to get around to do this again." Lee said the last show of the tour - at The Forum in Los Angeles in August - had been "emotional". "I hope it's not our last one but - if it is - we sure went out with a bang." The line-up of Lee, Peart and guitarist Alex Lifeson has remained unchanged since 1974, making Rush one of the most stable acts in rock history. Lee, who was in London to promote the band's R40 live album, said: "I'm one of three members and everybody has a kind of different idea about what they'd like to do with the rest of their lives. "So I'm not really sure at this point whether there will be more tours or not. But I remain optimistic." The bassist said his plans for 2016 included producing an independent film project about baseball in Italy. Rush have sold more than 40 million records sold worldwide in a career spanning more than four decades. The band's breakthrough record was the 1976 album 2112, which included a 20-minute song sequence set in a dystopian future. The 1980 Permanent Waves album - and hit single The Spirit of Radio - took the band in a more commercial direction. Rush reached their commercial peak with 1981's Moving Pictures, which marked a much heavier use of synthesisers on songs like Tom Sawyer. 29 July 2016 Last updated at 07:48 BST The event will see more than 10 thousand athletes from around 200 nations come together to compete in 28 sports. The Olympics only happen every four years and Team GB will be hoping to win lots of medals. The BBC's Olympic reporter, Nick Hope, will be there and sent us this preview. The 28-year-old made 29 appearances for the Bantams last season before being released at the end of the campaign. Darby will reunite with manager Phil Parkinson, who he played under for five years whilst at Bradford. Parkinson told the club website: "I'm pleased with the signing of Stephen, who is a good character and a great addition to the squad." Darby has also played for Swindon, Notts County and Rochdale, as well as winning consecutive FA Youth Cups in 2006 and 2007 with Liverpool. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The 57-year-old told an audience in New York on Friday it would start "from [his] first memory" and "hopefully... go all the way up to the Super Bowl" half-time performance he gave in 2007. The book is tentatively titled The Beautiful Ones, after a track from Prince's 1984 Purple Rain album. Publisher Spiegel & Grau said it would "take readers on an unconventional and poetic journey" through Prince's life. The publishing house, an imprint of Random House, said the memoir would include stories about Prince's music, "the family that shaped him and the people, places and ideas that fired his creative imagination." "The good people of Random House have made me an offer that I can't refuse," Prince is reported by the New York Times to have said. The singer said he was working on the book with his "brother Dan" - a reference to Dan Piepenbring, web editor of The Paris Review. "He's a good critic and that's what I need," Prince continued on Friday. "He's not a 'yes man' at all and he's really helping me get through this." "We're thrilled to be publishing Prince's powerful reflections on his own life in his own incandescently vivid, witty and poetic voice," said Chris Jackson, Spiegel & Grau's executive editor. Brown said he was resigned to losing keeper Bentley, 22, and midfielder Jack Payne, 21, after the loss to Bradford. And he has now revealed some Shrimpers players hope to move further north. "Certain players are going to be turning away from the football club having had offers on the table. That's life," he told BBC Essex. Both Bentley and Payne came through the Southend youth system and helped the club win promotion out of League Two last season. Bentley was subject to interest from QPR last summer, while Payne is being linked with a number of Championship sides. Brown said: "The influence agents have on players these days is really detrimental towards clubs who have invested time, effort, energy, money and expertise. "I sympathise with a lot of clubs at this level, you're cannon fodder for the bigger boys. All we can do is do our best for the players and I think we have done. "I think we've educated the players to be able to play at a higher level and consequently we're getting that used as a stick against us." Seven charities will use the cash to fund specialist services including employment training. Support for the families of prisoners and social care support will also be offered. Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said the work done by charities was a "vital part" of the government's vision to reduce reoffending rates. The organisations receiving funding include Apex Scotland - which specialises in criminal justice social work - and Families Outside, which helps support the families of those in prison. Mr Matheson added: "I want to see fewer ineffective short-term prison sentences used, and more community sentences, which also help people to turn their lives around, keep crime down and communities safe. "From early intervention to supporting reintegration back into the community, these charities are dedicated to working with people who have offended at all possible opportunities and supporting them to become contributing members of the community." The other organisations to benefit are Sacro, Positive Prison? Positive Futures, Turning Point Scotland, Venture Trust and Supporting Offenders with Learning Disabilities. That is the verdict of Kosovo-born former Crystal Palace and Swansea City striker Shefki Kuqi. The 39-year-old's homeland, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008, became the 55th member of Uefa earlier this week, and has applied to join world governing body Fifa. "They are very passionate about their football," Kuqi told the BBC. "Kosovo is a very small country but there are loads of talented players all over Europe from there." Watford midfielder Valon Behrami, 31, and Stoke City midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri, 24, were born in Kosovo but play international football for Switzerland. BBC Sport understands there is a very good chance Fifa will give Kosovan footballers who play for other national teams the unprecedented choice of switching. Speaking to BBC World Service's World Football show, Kuqi - who played for 11 British clubs - added: "Those players playing for Switzerland have been in World Cups and European Championships. "It's not easy to turn your back. It's a personal view. "Some might like to play for Kosovo and some would probably like to carry on as they are."

South Africa's AB de Villiers won the ODI cricketer of the year award for the second year in a row. Australia captain Meg Lanning was named the Women's ODI cricketer of the year. Smith, 26, was the sixth highest run-scorer in Australia's triumphant World Cup campaign this year, with 402 runs at an average of 67, and made 1,734 in 13 Tests, at an average of 82.57. He succeeded Clarke as skipper of the national team and led his side to a 2-0 Test series win over New Zealand last month. Englishman Richard Kettleborough was named umpire of the year for the third time.

The average wage has fallen to €600 (£450: $690) a month; half of all young people are unemployed and the economy is barely emerging from six years of recession. But Greeks remain determined to maintain their hold on normality. "We don't have much else," they say, "we may as well enjoy our freddo cappuccinos." But despite the drinking, flirting and dating, since the onset of financial disaster, a fundamental change has taken place in Greek society. Deejay Tommy, who works at the fashionable Opus bar in the south Athenian suburb of Glyfada, paints a sad picture of young Greeks waking up every day without a job. "Things have lost a little bit of their romanticism," he says. "The crisis has forced love to become a secondary priority. There are other things to worry about. I see many women looking for someone who will have money to take them out, who'll take them on holidays. I see this quite a lot and it saddens me." Down the road along the shoreline, the Bouzoukia clubs ring with live renditions of popular Greek love songs. Crowds sipping on vodka throw the singers red carnations and sing along to lyrics of heartbreak and pain. "We save up to come once every few months and we look forward to it," says Katerina Fotopoulou, 30, at a table with her friends. "We don't have the money to do much any more. We're always talking about future plans, going on holiday, but no-one ever does anything." Living at home, Katerina describes herself as an adult forced to live as a teenager, her life put on hold. Compared with other Europeans, Greeks are still fairly traditional. For many young people it is awkward bringing a boyfriend or girlfriend through the front door to meet the parents. And that poses a problem, considering the high numbers unable to afford a place of their own. "Relationships are complicated these days," says Katerina. "No-one is even thinking about getting married or having children." Indeed, Greece's population is shrinking at an increasing pace, according to data released by the Hellenic Statistical Authority (Elstat). Since Greece first signed its EU-IMF bailout agreement the number of births has declined rapidly. In 2010 there were 114,766 live births, and by 2013 that number had declined by almost 20,000 (94,134). Obstetrician Leonidas Papadopoulos says miscarriages at the Leto maternity hospital have doubled over the past year. "Maybe it's down to stress," he says. "There is no proof, but you can see it in the eyes of the people, there is stress and fear for the future." He describes how a woman he had been treating with IVF came to him one day crying because she was pregnant. She had lost her job and demanded an abortion. But he felt he could not perform the procedure. "Soon," says Dr Papadopoulos, "the population will be halved and there won't be any young people to work and pay for the pensions of the elderly. All the social problems will rise up in front of us." Some who have children and are struggling to support them have turned to sex work, to put food on the table. Further north, in Larissa, Soula Alevridou, who owns a legal brothel, says the number of married women coming to her looking for work has doubled in the last five years. "They plead and plead but as a legal brothel we cannot employ married women," she says. "It's illegal. So eventually they end up as prostitutes on the streets." A doctor, Georgia, explains how she also works as an escort in the sex industry to support her family. Her private clinic currently treats three patients a week, but the peak summer season in the sex industry enables her to keep up with the rental payments on her family's home and the healthcare bills for her elderly parents. "I live a double life and only I can know about it," she says. "I have applied for jobs in medicine abroad and wait every day in hope of a reply." For journalist Elini Lazarou, having a baby was not something she was prepared to put on hold while waiting for a change in the political or economic climate. "Love in the time of crisis can function as a painkiller, with which someone can forget the problems they're facing, or as a source from which someone can draw strength, energy and optimism," she says. On a wall in downtown Athens, a simple message is daubed that reads "Love or nothing". It strikes a defiant tone amid the blighted lives hidden behind pure economics. Theopi Skarlatos and Kostas Kallergis documentary: Love in the Time of Crisis Hector Arboleda Albeidis Buitrago, who has Spanish nationality, was detained in Madrid in December 2015. He will face trial in Colombia for murder, attempted murder and abortion without consent. Mr Arboleda Buitrago had been working as a nurse with no medical training, Colombian prosecutors say. On Friday, Spanish authorities gave the green light to a Colombian justice minister's request and agreed to hand him over to a court in Bogota. His arrest in 2015 formed part of an investigation relating to 150 cases involving former Farc fighters who said they had been forced to terminate their pregnancies. Known as "The Nurse", Mr Arboleda Buitrago is accused of taking part in most of those abortions. Colombian authorities said the procedures were carried out in filthy conditions, with no medication, on women who were often in their final months of pregnancy. They added that the women came from indigenous communities and should have been protected during their pregnancies and should have been relieved of their duties as Farc officers. Female rebels were compelled to have abortions so as not to undermine their fighting ability, although the left-wing rebels have denied this in the past, saying that contraception was made available. In an interview with the BBC in 2015, one female rebel in Bogota said that she had been forced to have five abortions. She said that women in the organisation were expected to fight, and those who were allowed to have babies considered themselves lucky. The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc, after the initials in Spanish) are Colombia's largest rebel group. They were founded in 1964 as the armed wing of the Communist Party and follow a Marxist-Leninist ideology. Their main founders were small farmers and land workers who had banded together to fight against the staggering levels of inequality in Colombia at the time. While the Farc have some urban groups, they have always been an overwhelmingly rural guerrilla organisation. In November 2016, the Colombian government and the Farc rebel group announced a second peace agreement after an initial deal was rejected. The conflict up to this point had lasted more than five decades and resulted in about 260,000 deaths, with millions of people displaced. Those affected were waiting to be treated, discharged or admitted. The figures were more than treble the number during the same period last year. No patient attending an emergency department should wait longer than 12 hours, according to government targets. From March the set target is that at least 80% of patients should commence treatment following triage within two hours. According to Department of Health figures there was a 6% increase in the number of people attending emergency departments in December. It has also emerged that more than one in six people were referred to an emergency department by a GP, slightly more than in December 2015. Angus Villar, 27, from Saffron Walden in Essex, was at the Address Downtown Hotel on New Year's Eve. His mother, who did not wish to be named, uses a wheelchair. Mr Villar said: "It was lucky for us we were only on the 15th floor, not the 60th, because I might have been struggling by the end of that." The tower was successfully evacuated with 16 people hurt, mainly with minor injuries, according to the Dubai authorities. Mr Villar was visiting his parents in Dubai, where his father works as a surgeon. He said there was no fire alarm, but they realised there were flames at about 21:00 local time. "There was confusion and no-one knew what had happened, but I could see the balcony of the neighbouring room was on fire," he said. "I wheeled my mother out to the exit, but there didn't seem to be a way to get wheelchairs down and I wasn't going to wait to find out, so I put her on my back and she's not too heavy. "It's what anyone would do, essentially. "When I got out and saw it with my own eyes, I saw how serious it was." Mr Villar said he was put up in another hotel and is due to fly home next week. The bloc warns of "serious consequences" if Mr Jammeh's refusal to give up power causes a crisis. Adama Barrow, who won the recent presidential vote, said he believed he would be sworn in next week. Nigeria's leader has flown to Banjul to try to broker a deal but the latest talks appear to have failed. Nigerian MPs have voted to offer Mr Jammeh asylum to help negotiations. Mr Jammeh had initially conceded defeat, but later contested the 1 December election. He wants the results annulled after the electoral commission admitted some errors, although it insists this did not affect the final outcome. The 51-year-old leader seized power in the country in 1994 and has been accused of human rights abuses, although he has held regular elections. The Supreme Court is unable to hear the challenge until May because of a shortage of judges, and Mr Jammeh says he will not step down until then. Meeting in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, the AU peace and security council called on Gambia's security forces to exercise restraint. In a statement, it warned of "serious consequences in the event that his [Mr Jammeh's] action causes any crisis that could lead to political disorder, humanitarian and human rights disaster, including loss of innocent lives and destruction of properties". There are growing fears that the uncertainty could cause a refugee exodus. Thousands of Gambians, mostly women and children, have already crossed the border into neighbouring Senegal and further afield to Guinea-Bissau, where they do not require a visa, officials say. Foreign leaders from regional bloc Ecowas, led by Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, arrived in The Gambia to again try to persuade Mr Jammeh to step down on schedule. The grouping has warned that it would consider removing him using military force if he refuses. The talks were a last ditch attempt to persuade President Jammeh, who once said he would rule the country for a billion years, to step down, the BBC's Africa editor Richard Hamilton says. However, Halifa Sillah, a spokesman for Mr Barrow, said late on Friday that the latest talks had failed to solve the crisis, insisting that they must continue. Much will depend on whether President Jammeh is offered some sort of amnesty deal to avoid prosecution for human rights abuses and crucially whether the army, which has expressed loyalty to its long-time leader, will change sides, our correspondent says. Mr Barrow, a property developer, told the BBC's Newsday programme that he would prefer a "peaceful transition". He said he welcomed the move by Nigerian MPs to offer Mr Jammeh asylum, but said he did not feel the situation would "get to this level". "We want to keep Jammeh in The Gambia, I don't think there's any need for him to go to another country." He called on Mr Jammeh to "respect the constitution" and engage in direct talks. "We solve our problems within ourselves without the intervention of anybody. I think that's what we'd prefer," he said. A lawyer for Mr Jammeh on Thursday filed a request with the Supreme Court asking for an injunction to block Mr Barrow's swearing-in. Mr Barrow won 43.3% of the vote compared with Mr Jammeh's 39.6%. A third candidate, Mama Kandeh, got 17.1%. Since then, a movie has been made and it took £54.5m on its opening weekend. But even before its release, rumours of rifts, unhappy wives, a lack of chemistry and creative head butting have dogged the production. So, with fifty shades of drama, will films two and three happen? Newsbeat examined the rumour mill. So if you believe what you read on the internet, Jamie Dornan will not be reprising his role as BDSM-loving Christian Grey for the next two portions of the franchise. This appears to have come from an article with Australian NW magazine where an insider is quoted as saying, "Jamie said the movie would skyrocket his career."He tried to assure Amelia nothing would change but women all over the world now lust after Jamie. "She hasn't seen the film and I don't think she will to be honest." His publicist told Newsbeat: "All press reports are pure conjecture as the studio have not committed to a sequel as yet." There was a rumour about a lack of chemistry between Jamie Dornan and his co-star Dakota Johnson on set. In fact, according to another magazine, this time Us magazine, an insider told it that scenes had to be re-shot, because they weren't "passionate" enough. Maybe it was down to the knowledge that the books have a huge fan base. During an interview at the premiere, when asked whether he was nervous about how fans would react to the film, Jamie told the BBC: "Maybe a little. We are totally aware of how many people have read the book, a hundred million people. "That's a lot of people who already have a built in opinion of what you're trying to do." According to an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, Sam Taylor Johnson is quoted as saying "We battled all the way through. She'd say the same. There were tough times and revelatory times. There were sparring contests. It was definitely not an easy process." And it's because of that rift that Sam is reportedly not taking part in the next movie, Fifty Shades Darker. And on the grey carpet of the premiere, Sam confirmed that they were both "creative heads". Sam told the BBC at the premiere of Fifty Shades that nothing had been set in stone with regard to a sequel. As if the reported drama with Sam and EL wasn't enough, apparently the scriptwriter, Kelly Marcel, has quit too. EL James admitted at the premiere that she has been trying to write "about all of this", but didn't confirm whether it was a fourth book or the screenplay of Fifty Shades Darker. Despite becoming the most successful 18-rated film in UK history, the film got some very mixed reviews, including being dubbed "better than the book". EL, Sam and Jamie were all in agreement, the film would get that very reaction, because the book did. "It divides opinion, the books divide opinion. A lot of slightly snobbier people have an opinion on it and without seeing it," Jamie added. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube

There was a "reasonable" case for raising rates to avoid a more rapid rise in the future, he told Bloomberg. In the end, only one of the nine-member Monetary Policy Committee voted for a rise, but his comments underline how the balance is shifting. Mr Miles, an expert on housing economics, also said the UK market was not getting out of control. On rates, Mr Miles, who attended his final MPC meeting last week, said there were arguments for starting "the journey now" towards a rate hike. He told Bloomberg: "Sterling had gone up a bit, oil prices had fallen a bit, there were somewhat ambiguous signals from the labour market, but on balance it was a set of economic news that probably reduced at least the near-term inflation profile by a non-trivial amount. "For me that was what made the decision ultimately one to keep policy on hold. Ian McCafferty [who voted for a rise] came out on one side of that and I was on the other side, but it wasn't a compelling clear-cut case one way or the other for me." However, he said that the longer the MPC leaves rates at the current 0.5% level, the faster they may need to rise in the future. With the UK economy on its current trajectory, "you wouldn't expect to be waiting around many, many months and well into next year before you started this journey". Bank of England governor Mark Carney has said that when rates start to rise, they will do so only gradually. At a news conference last week he said the timing for a Bank rate increase is "drawing closer", but cannot "be predicted in advance". The decision would be determined by looking at economic data, he added, including wage growth, productivity and import figures. Several economists interpreted Mr Carney's comments, and information in the Bank's Inflation Report published last week, as a signal that any rate rise was likely to be put back from the end of this year until early 2016. On the UK housing market, Mr Miles said he did not think that the "alarm bells" were ringing. New regulations and other improvements mean "the risk of all this playing out badly is much lower now than at any time in the past for the UK". However, he added that the sensitivity of UK borrowers to changes in interest rates reinforces the case for a gradual increase from the current level. The councils are the first to receive allocations from the Scottish government's attainment fund. Children from poorer backgrounds are more likely to fall behind in the basics and less likely to get Highers or go to university. The councils getting cash include Clackmannanshire, Dundee and Glasgow. The funding targets local authorities with the highest concentration of primary age pupils living in deprived areas. Since February, each council has developed improvement plans focused on raising attainment and identifying areas where specific improvement is needed. The government said these locally-agreed plans set out what schools in the most deprived communities will do to support children so they get the same chance to succeed at school and in life as their peers from better-off backgrounds. Each council is expected to invest in activity that will help close the attainment gap and report regularly to the Scottish government on what works. The new Education Bill proposes making raising attainment a statutory duty for the first time. Education Secretary Angela Constance visited Clackmannanshire to find out more about how the money would be used there. The investment will be targeted towards literacy and numeracy, leadership in schools and engagement with parents and carers. Ms Constance said: "We know school education in Scotland is getting better. Official figures published last month showed the percentage of young people leaving school to go into work, education or training is at a record high, with the vast majority of pupils are reaching SCQF level 3 literacy and numeracy or above. "Our new Scottish Attainment Challenge will play a key role in delivering further improvements, from Glasgow, Scotland's largest local authority, to here in Clackmannanshire, the 'wee' county. "Good things are happening in all seven of these local authorities, and more widely across Scotland, but our fund will intensify efforts to drive improvement where it is needed, with a sharper focus on earlier intervention to close the attainment gap. "Through measures such as this fund, the provisions in our Education (Scotland) Bill and the development of a National Improvement Framework, we will do all we can to raise attainment and give our young people the best start possible." Critics argue the government has had eight years to improve performance in schools but note how the most recent numeracy and literacy statistics suggested that things had been going the wrong way. The other councils getting cash are Inverclyde, West Dunbartonshire, North Ayrshire, and North Lanarkshire. In May, Selby said Warrington was "running scared" after negotiations for a summer bout broke down. "There's no way I'm ducking him - I want that fight so bad," Warrington told BBC Radio Leeds. "I just want to make sure everything goes perfect, at the end of the year would have been ideal." "The way they came back was they said I ducked the fight. After that I did cancel the wedding a couple of times, we rang the venue and said it's not going to happen because I've got boxing commitments. "But I sat down with my manager and my dad and they said 'just don't jump to his bait, it will still be there at the end of the year and if he doesn't want it then that's his problem, it's him who's ducking'." Selby's last fight was a unanimous points decision win over Eric Hunter in April, his second successful defence of the title he won in May 2015. Leeds fighter Warrington defends his WBC International featherweight belt against Patrick Hyland on 30 July. "That fight is there to be signed for November now for Lee Selby," Warrington's promoter Eddie Hearn said. "Lee is a wonderful fighter he's looking at some big fights as well and maybe we look at another champion but if we wants that fight we can make that fight." The Portuguese coach is targeting midfielders but said speculation linking him with a move for Hearts' Alexandros Tziolis is "pure rubbish". "We are about to get one deal, or more than one deal, done in those positions, so we know what we want," he said. "We know exactly what we are looking for and things are going in the direction we want." Rangers beat 10-man Hearts 2-1 on Saturday thanks to goals from Joe Garner and Barrie McKay. Reports surfaced that Caixinha held talks with 64-times capped Greek midfielder Tziolis inside Ibrox following the win over the Tynecastle outfit. But the Rangers boss, who was assistant manager at Panathinaikos while Tziolis was a player there, insisted he was simply catching up with the 32-year-old. "He's a good friend of mine," Caixinha said of Tziolis. "We worked together 10 years ago at Panathinaikos, but if you are referring to what came out in the news I just need to say to you it is pure rubbish. "If I don't comment on news from the papers then I'll comment even less on rubbish. "Alexandros is a fantastic guy. After Panathinaikos he went to Werder Bremen and did great. He's had a great career. But that's all I can tell you after that. "He's a good friend of mine because I had this chance to create good bonds with the players as I was an assistant coach when I was with Panathinaikos. When the players give everything to you, you have very good relations. "Even after 10 years I go there and salute him and ask him to come in and have a glass of good Portuguese wine. "But he's Hearts' player, not ours." Caixinha also revealed he is hoping to have former Liverpool midfielder Jordan Rossiter back in time for next season. The 20-year-old, who moved to Rangers last summer but has been injured for almost the entire season, has resumed training with the Ibrox side. Darren Jones, standing for Bristol North West, felt unwell and left his podium about 45 seconds before the programme on Made in Bristol TV began. Tory Charlotte Leslie rushed to assist Mr Jones as he lay on the studio floor. Mr Jones said he was "perfectly fine now" and was "raring to get back on the campaign trail". He was taking part in a live debate, on Wednesday, with other candidates standing in the constituency, including Liberal Democrat Clare Campion-Smith and UKIP's Michael Frost. An ambulance was called but cancelled after Mr Jones said it was "not needed". Mr Jones said his fainting was not due to a medical condition but "the fact that I had a cold, it was a hot room, I'd had a busy day". He said he had been feeling "quite poorly all day" but he had wanted to ensure Labour was represented in the debate. Mr Jones said he was very grateful to Ms Leslie, the TV production team and the audience but added he was "amazed that having a cold is so newsworthy". The candidates for the constituency are: Clare Campion-Smith, Liberal Democrat Michael Frost. UKIP Darren Jones, Labour Anne Lemon, TUSC Charlotte Leslie, Conservative Justin Quinnell, Green Young was out of contract at Torquay, who he joined from League Two side Plymouth in June 2014. The 24-year-old has played in 87 league games for the Gulls, and won their player of the season award in 2016-17. "Last season he got stronger and better with each game," player-manager Kevin Nicholson told the club website. "I am free," Savchenko told a crowd of reporters and politicians as she arrived in Kiev as part of a prisoner swap with two alleged Russian soldiers. She was sentenced to 22 years in jail for killing two Russian journalists in eastern Ukraine, charges she denied. The two Russians - Yevgeny Yerofeyev and Alexander Alexandrov - were earlier flown from Kiev to Moscow. Savchenko was pardoned by Russian President Vladimir Putin before her return to Ukraine. Mr Putin said he had acted after meeting relatives of the two Russian journalists, who had asked him to show mercy to Savchenko. In Ukraine, President Petro Poroshenko pardoned the two Russian nationals. In a tweet (in Ukrainian) earlier on Wednesday, Mr Poroshenko wrote: "The presidential plane with Hero of Ukraine Nadiya Savchenko has landed!" Speaking to reporters at Kiev's Boryspil airport, Savchenko was in defiant mood. "I am ready to once again give my life for Ukraine on the battlefield," she said. At a joint news conference with President Poroshenko later on Wednesday, Savchenko thanked her family and the people of Ukraine for supporting her while she was held in Russia. "Ukraine has the right to be, and it will be!" she said, pledging to do everything she could to free all Ukrainian nationals still being kept prisoner in Russia and in parts of Ukraine controlled by pro-Russian rebels. Meanwhile, President Poroshenko - who awarded Savchenko a Hero of Ukraine star - said: "This is our common victory!" He also personally thanked German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and US President Barack Obama for supporting Ukraine. Nadiya Savchenko is back on Ukrainian soil, and the first indications are that she will be the same outspoken firebrand that she was during Russian captivity. Undoubtedly, the Kremlin will remain one of her main targets. But it will be interesting to watch which Ukrainian politicians will become the focus of her ire. Her politics apparently lean towards the nationalist camp - though how far they extend in this direction remains to be seen. While in prison she was elected as a parliamentary deputy from Yulia Tymoshenko's Fatherland party. Both Savchenko and Ms Tymoshenko are strong-willed personalities - and conflicts between them might erupt. But the biggest question is how she and President Petro Poroshenko will get along. Savchenko voiced her support for the Minsk peace agreements, and Mr Poroshenko looked pleased as he stood beside her. But she also said that "peace is only possible through war". If she decides to turn against the president, the anti-Poroshenko camp will be strengthened by what at the moment is Ukraine's most powerful political voice. Reacting to Savchenko's release, EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini described it as "long awaited good news, that the EU celebrates with her country", while German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said it was "good news that we have long worked for". Savchenko was captured in 2014, as pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions battled government forces. She was charged with directing artillery fire that killed the two journalists, but she says she was kidnapped prior to the attack and handed over the border to the Russian authorities. Her time in jail saw her mount a hunger strike and she was even elected in absentia to Ukraine's parliament and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. The two pardoned Russian nationals flew to Moscow's Vnukovo airport on a specially chartered plane. They were met by their wives, as well as media representatives. Ukraine said the pair were elite members of Russian military intelligence - but Russia insisted they were not on active duty when they were captured in eastern Ukraine. They were sentenced to 14 years in jail last month after being found guilty of waging an "aggressive war" against Ukraine, committing a terrorist act and using weapons to provoke an armed conflict. Ukraine and the West had repeatedly called for Savchenko's release and a prisoner swap was long been considered likely. "It's been a long and complicated road," said Nikolai Polozov, one of her lawyers. "But we have been able to prove that there are no insurmountable tasks and we've managed to free the hostage from the jaws of Mordor," he added, referring to the cruel land in the Lord of the Rings saga. Savchenko's capture contributed to the deterioration in Russia-Ukraine relations since 2014. Moscow annexed the Crimea peninsula in March 2014 after an unrecognised referendum on self-determination, and is accused of sending weapons and its regular troops to support the separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine. Moscow denies this, but admits that Russian "volunteers" are fighting with the rebels. The camera on Cardiff's southbound North Road was the busiest in both the South Wales Police area and Wales. The total offences captured across Wales' force areas rose from 169,000 in 2015 to 171,000 (1.1%) last year. Road safety partnership Go Safe said the locations with the highest numbers reflect the level of traffic. Operations manager Teresa Healy said: "The proportion of drivers exceeding the speed limit represents a small percentage of the overall traffic flow and should not be considered the usual speed of traffic on these roads." Steve Gooding, director of the RAC Foundation, said there should be no perception that cameras are more about raising revenue than they are about safety. He added: "We have made repeated calls for camera site accident data to be made public so we can all see the facts. "The best camera would be one which detected no one speeding. Where hundreds if not thousands of people are being caught then that very fact is telling us that the presence of the camera isn't working and it's time to ask why." He said it could be because speed limits are not being clearly displayed, the road layout may need looking at or additional measures may be needed. North Wales Police's busiest speed camera - on the A483 dual carriageway at junction 7, Rossett, in Wrexham - recorded about 4,500 offences. There were about 4,400 offences recorded by the speed camera between junction 23a to junction 24 on the westbound M4, near Newport - the busiest in the Gwent Police area. The top-recording camera in the Dyfed-Powys Police area - on the A44 at Ponterwyd, in Ceredigion - registered about 650 offences in 2016. The figures were obtained via an Freedom of Information request made by BBC Radio Wales' Dot Davies programme. Drivers penalised for a speeding offence in the UK now face minimum fines of £100 and three penalty points. If all the offences recorded across Wales in 2016 were upheld, the total fines would be worth at least £17.1m. In April, it was revealed more than 13,000 people were caught speeding on the M4 around Newport since enforcement was introduced six months earlier - an average of 84 a day. Defending women's champion Angelique Kerber and four-time men's winner Roger Federer are also in action on day one of the tournament in Melbourne. British number two Dan Evans, beaten in his first ATP Tour final on Saturday, plays Facundo Bagnis of Argentina. Britain's Aljaz Bedene faces Victor Estrella Burgos of Dominican Republic. Murray, who won last year's Wimbledon and Olympic Games on his way to becoming world number one, has lost in five Australian Open finals, including in 2016 when he was beaten by Novak Djokovic. "I obviously feel pretty confident after the way the last season finished," said Murray. "I love it here. I love the conditions and have played really well over the years. I just haven't managed to get over the final hurdle. "I'm in a decent position to do it. I have a chance to win." Serb Djokovic begins his 2017 campaign on Tuesday versus Fernando Verdasco of Spain, while America's Serena Williams, aiming to win a record-breaking seventh women's singles title faces Switzerland's Belinda Bencic. A number of British players also have to wait until Tuesday for their first-round matches. Britain's women's number one Johanna Konta, seeded ninth, is first up on Margaret Court Arena at 00:00 GMT where she faces Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium while unseeded Heather Watson will take on Australia's 18th seed Samantha Stosur. Naomi Broady is also in action on Tuesday against Australia's Daria Gavrilova, the 22nd seed, with Kyle Edmund involved in men's singles action against Santiago Giraldo of Colombia. The blast blew out windows and destroyed the rear wall of the house at Theddlethorpe, near Mablethorpe in Lincolnshire, on Sunday afternoon. Fire service group manager Sean King said the owners had gone for a walk at the time of the explosion, thought to have been caused by a gas leak. The house, which was on a propane-fed gas supply, has been cordoned off. Mr King said: "It was a significant explosion caused, we think, by some kind of gas leak but we haven't been able to determine the exact cause yet due to the extensive damage. "Luckily they'd [owners] gone for a walk and if they'd been in the house at the time it could have been a very different story." Structural engineers have been carrying out assessments of the property at the scene. Apollo House is a government building and there are plans to demolish it. Activists from the group, Home Sweet Home, occupied the building on 15 December and have been ordered to vacate it by noon on 11 January. Several hundred marched to the Department of Finance on Monday. They handed over a letter to Michael Noonan. In a statement, the department said it had received a 10-page document from Home Sweet Home. It said the content of the document will be considered and a response issued "in due course". The department also said that Nama has been active with regard to homelessness, offering almost 7,000 units to local authorities for social housing. The activists said about 40 homeless people were staying in the building and they have gathered the support of Irish celebrities, such as members of the bands Hozier and Kodaline. During a High Court hearing in December, barristers for the receivers said there were serious health and safety concerns as the building was not suitable for residential use and currently has no fire insurance cover. Their barrister also said there were enough facilities available for the number of homeless people in Dublin at the moment, according to Dublin City Council. The 23-year-old has played 73 minutes for Spurs since damaging his ankle against Sunderland on 18 September. He was an unused substitute for England's World Cup qualifying win over Scotland on Friday. "The sessions we're going to do aren't what Harry needs at this time," said interim England boss Gareth Southgate. "It was never really my intention to start him in a game and I think it's important that he gets a different training programme to what we're going to follow over the next couple of days." England have not called up a replacement for Kane, leaving Daniel Sturridge, Jamie Vardy, Marcus Rashford, Wayne Rooney and Theo Walcott as striker options. Spain's visit to Wembley is the fourth and final fixture Southgate was given responsibility for, but with England still top of their 2018 World Cup qualifying group, he is heavy favourite to get the job on a full-time basis. Kane, who scored his third league goal of the season on his return from injury in the north London derby against Arsenal, will be available for Spurs' fixture against West Ham on Saturday.

The 18-year-old helped Burton win automatic promotion to the Championship last season, playing 13 games during a three-month loan spell. On his return from Leicester's training camp in Austria last week, Choudhury watched from the stands as Burton beat Stoke in a friendly match on Saturday. "We'd love to get him back if we can, so that's ongoing," said Clough. He told BBC Radio Derby: "We have asked about Hamza coming back, he had contractual issues to sort out, but now he has got back from Austria training with Premier League champions." Refurbishment of the city's Mansion House has left councillor Sonja Crisp without an official residence. In an email seen by the York Press she said: "A gentle reminder, I am the Lord Mayor, the first citizen, the rightful resident of the Mansion House." In another email she said her mayoral chains were "in a disgusting state". Due to the state of the chains, she said she was not going to wear them until she had confirmation they were to be re-gilded. Chris Steward, the Conservative leader of the council, said he was "very disappointed" and it was "totally inappropriate behaviour for someone who has the honour of being Lord Mayor". After stories about the leaked emails appeared in the national press Mrs Crisp, Labour councillor for Holgate Ward, told BBC Radio York the row had been "blown out of all proportion". Her private emails complaining about her accommodation and mayoral chains were "stronger than they should have been" but "I'm not a prima donna", she said. Her comments had been about the council's treatment of the office of mayor, she said. A request for an alternative one-bedroom flat for changing clothes before official visits had been turned down by the council. "It was always implied to me alternative arrangements would be put in place," she said. Mrs Crisp said the row was making her ill and she had collapsed twice. In an email she said the problems were "in no small part due to the stress and extra worry and work that my treatment by the council is causing me". Mrs Crisp has confirmed she would continue as Lord Mayor of York. The council is run by a coalition of Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. The England striker, making his first appearance since Christmas, slid home from close in to put the hosts ahead. West Ham were denied a penalty when the ball appeared to strike Rafael's arm in the penalty area. But on a night of mixed fortunes, Rooney blasted a late penalty over to set up a tense finish at Old Trafford. Matt Taylor went close for West Ham, but the home side stood firm to set up a home tie with Fulham on 26 or 27 January. Having helped keep United in the tie at Upton Park with a delightful half-volleyed pass that set Robin van Persie on his way, Ryan Giggs once again stood out from the rest. Sharper to the ball and swifter to use it, the Welshman delivered a midfield master-class, allying energy that belied his years to pace and purpose. However, it was another night of frustration for Sam Allardyce's side. West Ham had been the better side in the first game only for Van Persie's sublime late goal to earn the Red Devils a reprieve. Once again, they had opportunities at Old Trafford but the chances and the tie slipped away. Sir Alex Ferguson is not known for handing out second chances and for much of the first half his side dictated the tempo and toyed with their opponents. But even with Rooney and Anderson back after injury, Old Trafford felt subdued, perhaps expectant. There was a sense that having come within minutes of a being knocked out of the FA Cup in the first leg, the Premier League leaders would not make the same mistake twice. Ferguson's side made a dream start, snatching the lead through Rooney inside ten minutes. The goal was as simple as it was effective. Anderson, making his first start since hobbling out of the 4-3 win over Reading on December 1, opened up the West Ham defence with a through ball that skidded into Javier Hernandez's path. The Mexican beat the offside trap, squared the ball to Rooney who slid the ball into an empty net. Rooney pointed to the sky as he ran away to celebrate in memory of his late sister-in-law. The Red Devils might have had a second after 28 minutes, as Giggs combined with Antonio Valencia to tee Nani up for a fizzing volley that was cleared off the line by the young West Ham defender Dan Potts. It was too easy for Ferguson's side - the pace dropped, along with the temperature, and passes went astray. The visitors grew in confidence and in two spells either side of half time, West Ham seized the initiative. Taylor twice went close in the space of two minutes, misplacing his pass when well-placed before firing over from 12 yards. Sensing an opportunity, Allardyce threw Kevin Nolan and Jack Collison into the mix. The former Bolton and Newcastle midfielder almost made an immediate impact, only to see his shot blocked by Chris Smalling. As West Ham pushed for an equaliser, United broke once more. Another surging run by Giggs ended with his clipped cross striking the outstretched arm of Jordan Spence, prompting referee Phil Dowd to award a penalty. Rooney, however, could only blast his spot-kick high over Jussi Jaaskelainen's crossbar. Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson on his team's record of five penalties scored and four missed this season: "I think we have to improve at that. "There have been several great examples over the years -[(former Southampton midfielder] Matthew Le Tissier scoring 47 out of 48.

Live data and text provided by our data suppliers Ministers have for months believed it illogical to strike so-called IS in Iraq, but not over the border in Syria where their HQ is. But the Paris attacks have led the PM to conclude "we have to ask if we are doing everything that we can do, and should do" to take extremists on alongside our allies. For him, that means making the case for increasing intervention once again. It will come in the form of an unusual personal response from the prime minister to the Foreign Affairs Committee, which set out broad concerns about strikes. But David Cameron is pushing this right back up the agenda after months where the Parliamentary arithmetic was not certain enough for him to risk a humiliating defeat. It still is not. The anti-action position of the Labour leadership makes another vote far from a forgone conclusion. There is deep concern about taking action unless it's part of wider efforts to bring peace to Syria. That's why the prime minister has not committed to holding a vote asking for backing for air strikes yet, but instead is committing to remake the case more firmly and more comprehensively to try once more to persuade MPs. As things stand a vote on strikes might probably sneak through, as many as 50 Labour MPs are interested in supporting action, and some Tory rebels have shifted position. But a "maybe" won't be enough for Number 10 to ask the Commons formally again. Today's statement by Mr Cameron is a big step, but only one along the road to a vote, and planes being sent into action in Syrian skies. His comments came as he faced a German parliamentary committee, which is looking into the issue. The scandal first came to light in September 2015 when US regulators said the company had installed software to cheat emissions tests for diesel cars. Mr Winterkorn resigned shortly after the scandal broke and apologised. It emerged that the defeat device used by VW was installed in 11 million vehicles worldwide. VW has said it did not learn of the problem with the software until late August 2015 and formally reported it to US authorities in early September. Mr Winterkorn was asked when he and other top managers at Volkswagen found out about the diesel cheating and why they had not told investors sooner. He said: "I, too, am looking for satisfactory answers." Mr Winterkorn added he did not know how many people were involved. When asked whether he knew about the cheating earlier than VW has officially admitted, he replied: "That is not the case." Earlier this month, Volkswagen admitted to US prosecutors that about 40 employees had deleted thousands of documents in an effort to hide systematic emissions cheating from regulators. The scandal is costing it dear. VW has been fined $4.3bn by US authorities and agreed to plead guilty to criminal charges. In addition, the carmaker has agreed to a $15bn civil settlement with environmental authorities and car owners in the US. Spain's Samuel Sanchez finished second behind the Omega Pharma-Lotto rider and Luxembourg's Andy Schleck was third. France's Thomas Voeckler retained the overall leader's yellow jersey. Voeckler had been expected to lose his lead on Saturday, but held onto his one minute, 49 second advantage. "I would be lying if I said I expected to be with the best climbers today," admitted Voeckler. I would be lying if I said I expected to be with the best climbers today "I thought I had a chance to keep the jersey, but I was really surprised to be up there with them. But it was a good surprise." Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) finished 21 seconds behind, with Andy Schleck (Leopard Trek) leading the group of favourites home, 46 seconds adrift. Andy Schleck finished two seconds ahead of Cadel Evans (BMC Racing), Rigoberto Uran (Team Sky), Alberto Contador (Saxo Bank-SunGard), Voeckler and Frank Schleck, who were all 48 seconds adrift of Vanendert. On four previous occasions when a stage has finished at Plateau de Beille, the winner has gone on to stand on top of the podium in Paris. However, with seven days of racing and the Alps to come, it is premature to announce Vanendert as a successor to Marco Pantani (1998), Lance Armstrong (2002 and 2004) and Alberto Contador (2007) - particularly due to his already-hefty deficit. With six classified climbs, including the 15.8km ascent to the finish, it was always likely to be a day for the general classification contenders, including Contador, racing with a large support who had flooded over the Spanish border. But, as on Thursday's 12th stage to Luz-Ardiden, defending champion Contador appeared short of his best and remained four minutes behind Voeckler. Sunday's 193km 15th stage from Limoux to Montpellier is likely to end in a sprint finish, where green jersey holder Mark Cavendish (HTC-Highroad) comes into his own, giving the general classification hopefuls time to gather breath before the Alps.

On Tuesday, the country said it had launched several ballistic missiles as part of the same exercise. In January, the US imposed sanctions targeting Iran's missile programme in response to a previous round of tests. UN experts said those tests had violated a Security Council resolution. Resolution 1929, which barred Iran from undertaking any work on ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, was terminated after a nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers was implemented two months ago. A new resolution, 2231, then came into force that "calls upon" Iran not to undertake such activity. Iran says it does not have nuclear weapons and will continue missile development. The two Qadr H and Qadr F missiles hit targets 1,400km (870 miles) away, state media reported. The missiles were produced by Iranian experts and the "successful" drills were aimed at showcasing the country's power, the Revolutionary Guards said, according to Iran's English-language Press TV channel. They had the phrase "Israel must be wiped out'' written on them, the Fars news agency reported, AP said. Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards maintain dozens of short and medium-range ballistic missiles, the largest stock in the Middle East, Reuters news agency says. "The missiles fired today [Wednesday] are the results of sanctions. The sanctions helped Iran develop its missile programme," Brig Gen Hossein Salami, deputy commander of the Guards, was quoted as saying by Fars. While any missile of a certain size could in theory be used to carry a nuclear warhead, Iran says its missiles are for use solely as a conventional deterrent. It says it has ballistic missiles with a range of 2,000km (1,250 miles) that would be capable of reaching Israel and US military bases in the Middle East. On Tuesday, US officials threatened to raise Iran's exercises at the UN Security Council if the reports were confirmed. But authorities said the tests would not violate the nuclear deal reached in January. Under the agreement, Iran agreed with strict limits and checks on its disputed nuclear programme. In return, economic sanctions on the country would be lifted. The latest exercise comes as US Vice President Joe Biden visits Iran's rival Israel. He said if Iran breaks the terms of the nuclear deal "we will act". "A nuclear-armed Iran is an absolutely unacceptable threat to Israel, to the region and the United States," he said alongside Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. Mr Netanyahu has described the agreement as a "historic mistake" that cleared the way for Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. David Kennedy will leave his job as chief executive of Northampton Borough Council at the end of July. It comes as police investigate "alleged financial irregularities" regarding the council's £10m loan to Northampton Town Football Club. The money, released in 2013 to fund the redevelopment of Sixfields Stadium and nearby land, has yet to be recovered. Mr Kennedy, who was appointed in 2007, was questioned by police under caution last month along with borough solicitor Francis Fernandes. Live updates: Read more Northamptonshire stories here The BBC understands Mr Kennedy has been off work on sick leave. In a statement, he said: "I have been proud to serve the public of Northampton for the last decade. "I have concluded that the time is right for someone else to lead the council's excellent and committed staff. "I want to thank all those who have worked with me and supported me since 2007 and wish them well in the future." The statement released by the borough council goes on to clarify that Mr Kennedy's resignation "is not the subject of any termination payment, pension enhancement or settlement agreement". All condemned prisoners who have exhausted the appeals process and whose pleas for clemency are rejected now face execution, officials say. Executions were suspended for seven years until some resumed after the Peshawar school massacre in December. More than 8,000 people are on death row in Pakistan, human rights groups say. About 1,000 have lost their appeals and had clemency petitions rejected, a senior official quoted by AFP news agency said. The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says it is not clear why the moratorium has been lifted at this time. The move, which ends a seven-year-long suspension of executions in Pakistan, was condemned as "irresponsible" by human rights law firm Justice Project Pakistan. "We've seen time and time again that there is immeasurable injustice in Pakistan's criminal justice system, with a rampant culture of police torture, inadequate counsel and unfair trials," said executive director Sarah Belal. "Despite knowing this, the government has irresponsibly brought back capital punishment." More than 150 people, all but nine of them children, died in the Taliban attack on the Army Public school in Peshawar. The massacre triggered national outrage. Pakistan has hanged more than 20 prisoners convicted on terror-related charges since partially resuming executions in December. Supporters of the death penalty in Pakistan argue that fast-track executions are needed to rein in militant attacks. An interior ministry letter seen by the BBC says that death sentences should be carried out "strictly as per law and only where all legal options and avenues have been exhausted and mercy petitions... have been rejected by the president." The letter is dated 3 March and is addressed to the home secretaries of Pakistan's four provinces. Following the attack in Peshawar, the UN urged Pakistan not to resume executions. On Monday a court upheld the death sentence of Mumtaz Qadri - who shot dead Punjab governor Salman Taseer in 2011 - but rejected a conviction for terrorism. His appeal can still be taken to the Supreme Court. The two LED lights were taken from St Botolph's Church, known as Boston Stump, on Monday. The church had planned a special service to mark the switch-on after the original lights were damaged in the 2013 floods. Church-goer Peter Sherlock said he was "very upset that the church is being persecuted in this way". "We need to have the Stump as a shining light and a beacon in the area," he said, after offering to pay another £2,000 to replace the lights. The reward is offered for information leading to an arrest "of the person or people responsible". Anyone with information about the damage is asked to contact police. Reverend Alyson Buxton, said: "There is so much hard work goes into it and so much restoration after the floods. "It was such a fitting thing that two years after the floods we could light the building again." The lights were due to be switched on in November, the first time since the building was damaged by flooding in December 2013. The total damage caused by the flooding was estimated to have cost between £250,000 and £500,000. Thousands of people lost properties and other valuables in the inferno at the Gikomba market, they said. The blaze spread quickly through the market and firemen extinguished it several hours after it began. The cause of the fire is still unclear but it may have been started by an electrical fault, reports say. The market has a monthly turnover of $1.1m (??700,000), says the BBC's Abdi Noor in Nairobi. There were chaotic scenes as people tried to salvage their belongings, he adds. The market is visited daily by thousands of people from East Africa to buy clothes and food. Police and the Kenyan Red Cross said no major casualties had been reported. A few traders sustained minor injuries while trying to salvage their property, they said. This is the second fire to hit Nairobi in two days. On Monday, a fire gutted a petrol depot in the city's industrial district. The Scottish government has published details of a new bill aimed at protecting the victims and punishing the perpetrators of trafficking. In 2013 there were 55 victims identified in Scotland. The new law will introduce a single human trafficking offence and increase the maximum penalty for offenders. Home Office research has suggested there could be between 10,000 and 13,000 victims of slavery, forced labour and human trafficking in the UK. The Scottish government announced earlier this year that it was bringing forward a new bill to combat trafficking and exploitation. The Human Trafficking and Exploitation Bill will mean that for the first time in Scotland there will be legislation focusing specifically on human trafficking and exploitation through slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour. If passed, the new bill will also seek to enhance the rights of victims of trafficking, with access to immediate help and support based on their individual needs. It will give prosecutors the discretion not to punish victims forced to commit crime against their will - including those trafficked into the country and then forced into cannabis factories. Scottish Ministers will also be required to work with other bodies to publish and keep under review a Scottish Anti-Trafficking and Exploitation Strategy. Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said the bill would put in place "robust measures" and assist law enforcement agencies in tackling trafficking effectively. He said: "We are now sending out a very clear signal to those that may be involved in this type of crime that we are taking it extremely seriously and if you are found guilty of this type of abhorrent crime that you could face a life imprisonment sentence. "What we need to do is make sure that we've got measures in place in order to identify individuals who may be subject to human trafficking and exploitation, so that's not just the police force that's about businesses and public agencies being much more aware of this issue." The Scottish government said some industries, including fishing and agriculture, could be vulnerable to a small minority of criminal employers who exploit or are trafficking workers. David Dickens, chief executive of the Fishermen's Mission, said: "As a charity dedicated to providing help and support to fishermen and their families in need, the Fishermen's Mission welcomes any move that seeks to reduce the potential for trafficking or exploitation of fishermen. "We see and deal with the results of poor practices and are pleased to see that the issues are being addressed in Scotland." Police Scotland Assistant Chief Constable Malcolm Graham said: "We particularly welcome the enhanced focus on the needs of victims and the additional support the bill presents. "The non-criminalisation of suspected victims of human trafficking is an area where clearly defined obligations and direction is welcomed and would assist greatly in providing the clarity and confidence required to effectively deal with those circumstances where offending has occurred as a result of their exploitation." The legislation builds on work done by Labour MSP Jenny Marra, who had proposed her own bill. Members of the far-right North West Infidels group were reportedly confronted by anti-fascist protesters outside St George's Hall on Saturday. One officer suffered concussion after being hit by a missile, and was treated in hospital, Merseyside Police said. The force said 34 people were arrested for offences including assaulting a police officer, violent disorder and possessing weapons. Somewhere in the vast Southern Ocean, what could be next year's ideal Christmas gift is travelling about attached to an albatross or seal. It's a 2g (0.07oz) animal tracking device, or geolocator, which will be turned into a piece of jewellery by young Australian scientists in their spare time. The scientists retrieve the tracker when the animal, following a seasonal pattern, returns to its burrow or beach. By fixing it to recycled metal from Antarctica, the tracker is turned into a brooch shaped like the animal it was tagged to. The jewellery sells for a minimum A$100 (£59; $72) donation, allowing the scientists to buy more trackers to further study the habits of sea birds and seals. PhD candidate Jaimie Cleeland said making the jewellery helped cover the significant cost of travelling to locations in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean to continue her research. Accessing those areas consumed much of her grant money, and she wanted another way to progress her academic career. "The extra money allows us to do that extra bit of science and make the most of it when we are in these extreme environments," Ms Cleeland said. "It's not something that will ever be able to support a whole research project entirely, but it will be something that allows an honours student or PhD student to do a project or a paper." A new geolocator costs A$200. This year Ms Cleeland and her collaborator, fine art PhD candidate Annalise Rees, sold enough brooches to buy 100 geolocators. The pair have also been in talks to receive spent geolocators from the British Antarctic Survey and the French Polar Institute. Funding research in Australia remains a continuing challenge. Earlier this year, Australia's science agency cut 275 jobs in a move that attracted controversy. But creative fundraising is providing opportunities for other scientists. PhD candidate Kirianne Goossen used crowdfunding to invite people to make a "symbolic adoption" of a marine bacteria colony. For A$10, supporters of Ms Goossen's research into the biodiversity of real marine microbes could "adopt" one in virtual form. The supporters received an online certificate with information about their bacterium. Ms Goossen used the campaign to raise the A$1500 she needed to travel to Europe so she could present her PhD at a conference. The University of Tasmania also provided A$2000 through a funding application. Her supervisor, Associate Professor John Bowman, said it was very hard to find the funding to enable such travel. "People have to be creative in the way they approach these things," he said. "The money can either come out of the student's pocket or they can do what Kirianne did, which was bold, and try to crowdfund it." Prof Bowman said crowdfunding by young scientists was useful to "fill the gaps" for early career development. But it would face legal hurdles if it were ever used for core research, where commercial issues arise about who owns the intellectual property. "Crowdfunding of science is always going to be a drop in the ocean anyway. A few thousand dollars here and there is nothing compared to research projects worth several million dollars," he said. "For the next few years anyway it will only be for entrepreneurial scientists - clever, creative types seeking to fill gaps due to tight funding." Prof Bowman said expectations placed on researchers seemed to be increasing: they had to do more, provide more samples, track more animals. For Ms Cleeland and her peers, creative funding enterprises mark a departure in practice from their mentors. "They definitely weren't doing it as much as we are now," she said. "Maybe that's not a sign of the times, but more a sign of how you progress your academic career now. Crowdfunding is definitely seen more and more now for scientific research." She and Ms Rees will move on next year after completing their PhDs. But they hope their replacements will take over their website and continue making jewellery to fund research. Sport England, which distributes Lottery money at grassroots level, says tennis has failed to capitalise on Andy Murray's Wimbledon win in July. Football is now fourth behind athletics and cycling in terms of participation, with swimming the most popular. There is a continuing slump in the number of young people playing sport... It is clear that policy makers now need to take a much more interventionist approach to try to reverse what is looking like a long-term trend Read more of David's analysis and commentary A total of 15.426m people play sport each week, up 206,000 from April. Sport England claim the figures mean the original boost from the London 2012 Olympics has been maintained. However, the numbers of people participating in sport is actually down 50,600 on the 15,512,500 from this time last year. Sport England intends to hold meetings with both the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and Football Association (FA) before deciding in January whether up to 20% of their funding will be suspended. Tennis, which earlier this year had a £530,000 funding cut imposed, could lose more of its £17.4m four-year award after participation fell from 423,400 in April to 406,000. Football's participation numbers are down to 1.83m, a drop of 100,000 since April. Its 2013-17 funding award was £30m. We operate a payment for results scheme so football are definitely in the at-risk zone "We are very disappointed by football's results and the FA really need to grasp this," said Sport England chief executive Jennie Price. "There is now to be a discussion with the FA and our board, but we operate a payment for results scheme so football are definitely in the at-risk zone." FA general secretary Alex Horne said his organisation had to work to do. "Understanding and reversing the fall in participation is an immediate and top priority," he said. "We are working exhaustively with Sport England and our other partners to ensure the right plans and programmes are in place to achieve this." Price said the tennis results were also disappointing but felt the LTA was at least attempting to address the issue. "They did a lot in August and September and had a bit of a lift from that but it was not sustained," she said. "They need a really good delivery system outside the clubs, such as on the park courts, and they will be getting that message very loud and clear from us. "I should say they started to engage in the participation agenda and are genuinely focused on it now. We couldn't have said that in the past." Phil Smith, director of sport for Sport England, added: "I think we've probably finally dispelled the myth that a British guy winning Wimbledon would do something to increase participation figures. In the year that Andy Murray won Wimbledon, there has been a fall in the number of people who play tennis at least once a week. Sport England's Active People Survey found that 406,000 people played in the year to October - a fall of 39,000 on the previous 12-month period. The LTA was tasked with increasing that number to 450,000, and Sport England will now decide in January whether they feel the LTA's long term plans for increasing participation entitle them to receive £10.3m in withheld funding. "It's not that simple to translate into a weekly habit of ordinary people playing a sport. It takes more than just a Wimbledon winner." Nick Humby, the LTA's chief operating officer, said: "We are hugely disappointed that the October 2012/13 numbers have gone down, but we take encouragement from the peak between July and September exceeding that of the Olympic and Paralympics last year. "That was partly due to Andy Murray, partly to the extraordinary weather, and partly to the stuff we are now doing out and about around Britain." Humby said there were signs of encouragement with the number of people playing monthly holding up, as has the number of women and young people aged under 16 playing the sport. The LTA will also have a new chief executive, Mike Downey who is coming from Canadian tennis, starting in January. Sport England's figures, which are compiled twice a year, in April and October, focus on the number of people aged 16 and over playing at least 30 minutes of sport at moderate intensity at least once a week. The Active People Survey shows: However, the picture is not entirely positive, with the report also showing: Pete Ackerley, the FA's national game senior development manager, told BBC Radio 5 live: "We have been asking our players how they want to consume their football. "What we are finding now is that there are different ways of playing football - they want to play at different times, in different formats, they want to play shorter versions. "I guess it's the society we are in; they want instant football. They don't want to play as often, and the [Sport England] measurement is four times per month, so that is playing every week. "What we're finding is that people have got very busy work lives, they have got very busy family lives, and they are fitting in their sport participation differently - and team sports, and in particular football, has been impacted by that." Price added: "We are concerned about the results for young people. Although the majority of 16-25 year olds still play sport regularly, the numbers are not going up. "The evidence shows a sharp drop in the popularity of traditional sports, like football and netball, and we need to make sure they have a wider range of sporting activities to choose from." This time last year, Sport England granted most sports funding for the next four years, but six sports - swimming, tennis, basketball, squash, table tennis and fencing - only received a one-year allocation. They were essentially put on probation and given 12 months to meet specific targets, such as raising levels of participation. Sport England will make its future funding decisions on these six sports in January, when it will also make a decision as to whether up to 20% of football's funding will be suspended. The feel-good factor from Britain's cycling successes at London 2012, coupled with Sir Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome winning successive Tour de France titles, has helped make it the stand-out performer, increasing participation by 137,000 from April to October 2013. "I am encouraged that sports participation is back up on the rise compared to six months ago and that participation among disabled people is at an all-time high," said Helen Grant, Minister for Sport. "More women are getting involved, too, and I want to keep up that momentum. "But there is still more to be done to encourage greater participation across the board. Sports governing bodies must step up and deliver for the half a billion pounds of public money that they receive. "If they don't, funding will be taken away and channelled into grassroots sport through other routes." Clive Efford, Labour's Shadow Minister for Sport, added: "In the year following the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, figures show that overall participation is down. The most damning figure is the reduction in participation among 16-to-25-year-olds by 51,000." He claimed Prime Minister David Cameron had "no strategic plan for sport" and had "failed to capitalise on the explosion of enthusiasm" generated by the Olympics and Paralympics. "A golden opportunity is being squandered," added Efford. The couple, who are both 28, had announced the birth more than a week ago. The baby, which weighed 8lbs 10oz at birth, is believed to be at home with her parents in Surrey. Bookies had been offering odds on the baby's name since the pregnancy was announced last year. One said the choice had "cost them a fortune". Andy and Kim, who have been together for nine years, married in April last year in the former Wimbledon champion's home town of Dunblane in Perthshire. Lt Moaz al-Kasasbeh's family said sources had assured them he was alive shortly before an apparent new IS deadline for the swap passed. Jordan is ready to swap an Iraqi al-Qaeda prisoner for its pilot. However, IS is only offering to free a Japanese hostage in return, while sparing the pilot's life. Japanese hostage Kenji Goto's wife, Rinko, confirmed to the BBC that IS was offering to free Mr Goto in return for the release of Iraqi al-Qaeda member Sajida al-Rishawi. Jordan is part of a US-led coalition which has been carrying out air strikes on IS since last summer when the Syria-based group overran large parts of northern Iraq. A spokesman for the Combined Joint Task Force told the BBC on Thursday that Jordanian forces were still involved in operations against IS forces. A video released by IS on Wednesday contained an ultimatum delivered by a person thought to be Mr Goto. "If Sajida al-Rishawi is not ready for exchange for my life at the Turkish border by Thursday sunset [14:30 GMT] 29th of January Mosul time, the Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh will be killed immediately," the speaker thought to be Mr Goto says. The uncomfortable truth about this whole hostage stand-off is that the jihadists of Islamic State seem to be holding all the cards. They do not actually need the release of the failed Iraqi suicide bomber, Sajida Al-Rishawi. She has been in Jordanian custody for nearly ten years, she has no military or strategic value and they have never asked for her before. There are far more important jihadist prisoners in Jordan's jails. For IS, Rishawi is symbolic. She was part of a team dispatched by their forerunners, al-Qaeda in Iraq, to blow up hotels in Jordan. But the strategists of Islamic State are after a bigger prize here and that is the undermining of the US-led coalition against them. Getting Rishawi released translates as a sovereign, Western-aligned country giving in to terrorist demands. That is a propaganda victory for IS and an embarrassment for Jordan's King Abdullah. Without a deal, IS are thought likely to carry out their threat and murder the captured Jordanian pilot, posting the proof online to appeal to their followers and recruits. Above all, IS have captured the world's attention for days, enhancing their reputation as a violent organisation too dangerous to ignore. Profile: Lt Moaz al-Kasasbeh Profile: Kenji Goto Mr Goto's wife Rinko said she had received the same ultimatum by email from the group. There were no details of where the hostages were being held - or where along the lengthy border a possible release might occur. It was the second such warning issued by IS this week since another Japanese hostage, Haruna Yukawa, was reportedly killed by the group after a demand for ransom of $200m (£130m) was not met. Failed suicide bomber Rishawi is on death row in Jordan in relation to bomb attacks in the capital, Amman, which killed 60 people in 2005. Lt Kasasbeh was captured on 24 December after his plane crashed in northern Syria. His relatives and other supporters have staged protests in Amman calling for the government to help him. After the cabinet meeting in Amman, Jordanian Foreign Minister Mohammad al-Momani stressed the government wanted proof the pilot was alive. It was, he said, also working hard to secure the release of Mr Goto. Lt Kasasbeh's family issued a statement to say it had received assurances from unnamed sources that the pilot was still "alive and secure". Safi al-Kasasbeh, the pilot's father, urged IS to release his son "in the name of God and his prophet and all the believers". Mr Goto, 47, is a well-known freelance journalist and documentary film-maker who went to Syria in October, reportedly to try to get Mr Yukawa - a private contractor - released. In a press statement, Rinko Goto said she had received several emails from IS but the latest appeared to be their "final demand". Appealing for his release, she asked "the Jordanian and Japanese government to understand that the fates of both men are in their hands". 
She described her husband, and father of her two young daughters, as a "good and honest man who went to Syria to show the plight of those who suffer". Caroline Graham was 19 and living with her boyfriend at Hanover Street, in Portadown, County Armagh, when she disappeared in March 1989. A murder inquiry was launched in August 2012 after police said they had a number of new lines of inquiry. Monday's search has been taking place at the house in Hanover Street. The search is being conducted with the consent of the current owner who, police believe, has no knowledge of the events of 1989. Officers have carried out a number of searches in the Portadown area over the years, but Caroline's body has not been found. The officer leading the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Peter Montgomery, said: "It is more than 25 years since Caroline was last seen and almost two years since the most recent phase of investigative activity resumed. "Despite all the hurdles posed by the passage of time, I still believe that a form of closure is possible for Caroline and her family. "Our appeals for information have been productive. In general, people have been very helpful. "We are now at a point where it is appropriate to once again begin a planned search operation, primarily to locate Caroline's remains, but also as an important part of the overall investigation into her murder." He said Caroline had been for a night out in Banbridge with a girlfriend and had stayed part of the night in a hostel in Portadown, but was gone in the morning. Ch Insp Montgomery said police have information that she returned to Hanover Street to get some clothes. She has not been seen since. "I believe she was murdered some time later and that her remains are somewhere in Portadown," he said. "All our enquiries lead us to believe there is more than one person who knows exactly where Caroline is buried. "We need them to come forward and tell us exactly what they know. "Whoever is responsible for Caroline's murder may have spoken to people and they may know exactly what has happened to Caroline." The detective added that two men, possibly off-duty soldiers, who gave Caroline a lift in a black Ford XR3i on the night before she disappeared had yet to come forward. He said the men are not being treated as suspects, but need to come forward.

Sheku Kanneh-Mason, 17, used the early 17th Century Amati instrument - which is 50 years older than the earliest-known Stradivarius - to scoop the 2016 BBC Young Musician of the Year title. An anonymous donor has agreed to let the teenager use the cello, one of the first ever made, indefinitely. The teenager, from Nottingham, said the loan was "a dream come true". London violin maker Florian Leonhard described the cello, made in 1610, as "the ultimate instrument for a virtuoso soloist". Mr Leonhard, who mentors young musicians and often matches soloists with top instruments, arranged for Sheku to use the cello for his performances at the BBC Young Musician of the Year final in May and his debut at the Royal Festival Hall in September. The teenager said: "I immediately fell in love with this cello in the spring and I am thrilled. "I can hardly believe that I can continue to develop my relationship with this cello, making the sound more completely my own over time. "I could not be more happy and excited." Mr Leonhard said: "It is so rare that we're able to facilitate such a perfect pairing. "Sheku is something extremely special and is the most exciting young star we've come across - just pure talent and musicality." The young cellist's sister Isata was a semi-finalist in this year's Young Musician of the Year contest, performing on the piano. Sheku appeared with her on ITV's Britain's Got Talent in 2015, along with four other Kanneh-Mason siblings, in a classical ensemble. The midfielder, 25, has previously said he felt "lucky to be alive" after requiring surgery following a clash of heads with Chelsea's Gary Cahill. "There's no timescale on anything and I'm just taking each day as it comes," Mason told Hull's YouTube channel. "But my mind is right and I'm looking forward to returning a better player." After eight minutes of treatment on the pitch during the Premier League match at Stamford Bridge, Mason was given oxygen as he was carried off on a stretcher. He had surgery at St Mary's Hospital in London, where he stayed for a week afterwards. "It was one of those unfortunate incidents that happen in football sometimes. Luckily I had the right people around me from the second it happened and I have been recovering ever since," he added. "It was a bit of an eye-opener as to what can happen to you at any time. It's a scary moment when you're on a football pitch and realise that your life is in danger - it was a one-in-a-million kind of thing. "Thankfully the doctors and all of the medical people around me knew what was happening straight away and they handled it with great care and professionalism. I appreciate everything they did for me on that day." Mason returned to Hull's training ground for the first time since the incident earlier in May. He described going back as "a massive step". "There were times when I just couldn't be around noise, and people talking in the same room would have been too much for me," he said. "I'm still a bit wary because it's a loud place when you've got 30 or 40 lads all in the same room. I'm taking it steady and respecting what my body is telling me. "There will come a time when I can really kick on, and I hope that will be soon, but I'm not going to push things when it's not necessary." Madge Gillespie hit a road crossing barrier before entering the M77 at J2, near Pollok, on an off slip road. The 65-year-old admitted the charges and was jailed for six months and banned from driving for five years. Gillespie was jailed for four years in 2005 for culpable homicide after stabbing her husband. Jailing her at Glasgow Sheriff Court, Sheriff John Beckett told Gillespie: "I regret that I do not consider any other sentence but a prison sentence is appropriate to mark the gravity of this crime. "It is not a light step to send a lady of your age to prison." The sheriff added: "It is only through the luck, skill and bravery of the police officers that prevented a tragedy occurring." At a previous hearing Gillespie admitted hitting a barrier at a pedestrian crossing before entering the M77 motorway on the off slip road at junction two, Pollok, Barrhead, and driving north on the southbound carriageway. The former primary school teacher, from Giffnock, East Renfrewshire, admitted continuing to drive the wrong way down the motorway, in the path of cars and going on to the M8 motorway, travelling in the wrong direction and causing a police car to take action to avoid a collision. She continued driving the wrong way despite marked police cars on both sides signalling her to stop. The 65-year-old also admitted a charge of drinking and driving. The court heard there was 91 milligrams of alcohol in her blood and the legal limit is 80. Gillespie was jailed for four years in March 2005 for killing her construction worker husband although her jail term was cut by a year after an appeal. She stabbed her husband in the arm, severing an artery. He tried to drive to hospital, but bled to death and was found by police slumped behind the wheel of his Jeep. Gillespie, was originally charged with murdering her husband on 14 July 2004. The Crown accepted she was not guilty of murder, but guilty of the lesser crime of culpable homicide. The prosecution's reasons for accepting a reduced plea were based on the fact that the knife blow, although not a freak one, had not been intended to kill him. The Crown concluded after hearing from two psychiatrists, that at the time Gillespie slashed her husband, her responsibility was diminished because of mental illness. In 2008, nearly a third of five-year-olds in England - 177,423 in all - suffered tooth decay. By 2015, it had dropped to a quarter. But health experts say more steps must be taken to help youngsters look after their teeth. They recommend limiting sugary food and drink and regular trips to the dentist. And children should brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Currently, an estimated 166,467 five-year-olds - less than a quarter - suffer from tooth decay. But while there has been improvement nationally, experts say there is a great deal of regional variation. The highest rates of tooth decay were found among children living in the North West of England, and the lowest in the South East. Dr Sandra White, director of dental public health at Public Health England, said having healthy teeth was important for children, both for their health and their confidence. "Our faces are quite a mirror to us, and we you smile with a nice smile it makes a big difference when we start school." How to brush your teeth properly She said the downward trend in tooth decay was welcome, and was probably down to parents and society being more aware of the impact of sugar on teeth. "Parents have a key role in this. They need to watch what their children are eating and particularly drinking." She said children were consuming three times the amount of sugar that they should be having, and a lot of that is coming from sugary drinks. "It would be wonderful if everybody gave their children water and low fat milks." But she accepted that, realistically, it might be quite difficult for parents to achieve. Follow Michelle on Twitter A 40-bed residence will be constructed near West Highland College UHI and a 150-bed complex near Inverness College UHI on the new Inverness Campus. The University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) has signed a £44m deal with developer Cityheart to have the work carried out. The projects form part of a first phase of construction. A second phase will provide accommodation for up to 470 students at other UHI sites across the region. Phase one should see accommodation available to students in September next year, while the second should be completed by September 2017. Virgin Media's Super Hub 2 was criticised for using short default passwords that could easily be cracked by attackers. But experts raised concerns that older routers provided by BT, Sky, TalkTalk and others were also at risk. They recommend users change their router password from the default. "It's a bit unfair that Virgin Media has been singled out here. They made a mistake - but so have many other internet service providers," said Ken Munro from security firm Pen Test Partners. "This problem has been known about for years, yet still ISPs [internet service providers] issue routers with weak passwords and consumers don't know that they should change them." The weakness in Virgin Media's Super Hub 2 was highlighted in an investigation by consumer group Which? The company has since advised customers using default network and router passwords to update them immediately. However, a BT spokeswoman told the BBC: "We are not impacted by the hub issues affecting Virgin Media." Other providers have yet to comment. Many routers are sent to customers with a default wi-fi password already set up. Some use a long password with mixture of upper and lower-case letters, numbers and sometimes symbols. But others use short passwords with a limited selection of characters, and many follow a pattern than can be identified by attackers. The Virgin Media Super Hub 2 used passwords that were just eight characters long, and used only lower-case letters. That gives cyber-criminals a framework to help them crack passwords quickly, using a dedicated computer. "Because the default wi-fi password formats are known, it's not difficult to crack them," said Mr Munro. Once an attacker has access to your wi-fi network, they can seek out further vulnerabilities. Mr Munro said the problem was well-known, but the Which? investigation had reignited discussion. "It has popped up again because attention has been drawn to the fact that very few people change their wi-fi password from the one written on the router," he told the BBC. Experts recommend that people change the default wi-fi password and router's admin password, using long and complex passwords to make life more difficult for attackers. Mark Sampson's side, who finished third at last year's World Cup, have risen one place in the rankings which are topped by world champions USA. Scotland stay 21st, Wales remain 36th and Northern Ireland rise four to 62nd. England came third at the SheBelieves Cup this month after defeats by USA and Germany and a draw with France. They host Belgium on 8 April and travel to Bosnia-Herzegovina four days later in Euro 2017 qualifiers after winning their first two games. The 26-year-old will lead Team Sky's challenge alongside Englishman Ian Stannard in the one-day classic. Welshman Rowe, who has a top finish of third this season, feels improving on his fifth place at Flanders in 2016 is the next natural aim, having finished outside the top 50 in 2015. "I'm pretty optimistic ahead of the race, and podium would be the next step up," he told BBC Radio Wales Sport. "But to just be in a position where you're leading one of the biggest professional cycling teams in the world in one of the biggest professional cycling races in the world is a nice position to be in." The 2017 Tour of Flanders takes place in Belgium on Sunday, 2 April, with the gruelling 260.8km route including 18 climbs and cobbled sectors. The following Sunday on 9 April riders will tackle Paris-Roubaix, the 257km route between Compiegne and Roubaix in Northern France, known also as Hell of the North. Rowe feels he can make an impact in both races. "For me they're the biggest two races of the season and they're the two races which suit my characteristics and I know I can perform in them," he said. "They're just special, real iconic events in our sport and I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into them. "It'll be six or seven hours, 250-260km full focus and hopefully things will fall into place and I'll get some good results." Rowe will then turn his attention to preparing for the Tour de France and helping team-mate Chris Froome win a fourth title. After competing in the race in 2015 and 2016 the Welshman is very much looking forward to being involved again. "I've been there the past few years and Froomey (Chris Frome) has won them both, and to be part of that winning team has been pretty special," he said. "I could potentially race the Tour of Yorkshire because I like to race on home roads and then I'll do an altitude camp up in Mount Etna and then I'll do the Dauphine. "It's a pretty hectic programme but I hope to keep myself ticking over and gain a place in the Tour de France squad again and do the business for Froomey."

But closer scrutiny reveals all is not as it seems as he completes the World Cup downhill mountain biking course in Fort William in the Scottish Highlands. His feet are clipped into the pedals and he is sitting in a bucket-style seat, with supporters on hand to help if he topples over. He does - once. There is also a motor which he can use instead of pedalling. Mr Ashton is paralysed. Nearly three years ago the former trial bike specialist lost all feeling below his waist after breaking his back doing a stunt in a live show in 2013. But despite weeks in hospital and ongoing rehabilitation, he was always determined to get back in the saddle. His first big challenge - to complete the downhill course usually tackled by the professionals - was his proof that disability was not going to dampen his drive or his dreams. "It's one of the toughest tracks on the circuit for the professionals," he said. "The challenge for me was to get down it. Taking on a challenging course was important to make people question what is possible." Before his accident, Mr Ashton, 42, from Margam in Neath Port Talbot, had built up a large following on social media for his viral videos, during which he showed off his daredevil cycling stunts. So it made sense for his journey back to riding to also be captured on camera. With a support crew in tow, he travelled to Scotland to film his challenge on his specially-adapted mountain bike. Starting at the top of the mountain, he rolled down hill, taking in the twists, turns and jumps of the course - only stopping when new shots were needed to be filmed. "It was amazing - if they needed to re-shoot anything, that was fine by me - I was happy for any opportunity to ride. I loved it," said Mr Ashton. "It was definitely scary as I took it to the level where I hope other riders think 'I don't think I could do that'." Mr Ashton puts his determination not to give up on his sport down to his mental attitude. "Dealing with a spinal injury is life-changing and it takes an awful lot of rehab just to get out of the hospital, and to deal with it day-to-day is a huge challenge," he said. "Luckily, I have the support to help me deal with it. "But it's also the mental attitude you need. I'm quite a positive person. I try to focus on things I can do rather than things I can't." Since posting his video - Down Not Out - on social media he has had "tonnes" of positive feedback. "I'm really, really lucky the fans I had before as a professional rider seem to enjoy my story since," he said. "They say they like seeing the smile on my face. I still consider myself a cyclist and I'm in a privileged position thanks to my videos and social media that I can have an effect and show what you can do if you put your mind to it." Mr Ashton's profile on social media has also helped him raise enough money to adapt his home for his needs and to buy specialist exercise equipment to help his rehabilitation. After trying to sell his specialist Colnago C59 bike worth £7,000 last December, he was inundated with donations, along with a plea from supporters not to sell his bike. In total, £55,000 was raised along with an offer to display the bike in Colnago's museum in Italy. It sums up the attitude Mr Ashton has received from people since his accident. "I have not had a single negative moment since my accident, not one," he said. "Everyone I meet always seems so keen to help." After being asked to bat first, four of the tourists' top five registered rapid half-centuries. Jason Roy was particularly destructive as he hammered a 43-ball 79, while Joe Root made 71 and Ben Stokes 61. Steven Finn struck twice in his opening over as the hosts fell short on 262. That was despite the best efforts of opener Chadwick Walton, who smashed 121 off 109 balls before he was the eighth man out, lbw to new Test skipper Root. BBC Radio Leeds understands that the 26-year-old full-back will move to the Terriers when his deal with the German side finishes at the end of the season. Lowe has previously worked with Town boss David Wagner when the pair were at Borussia Dortmund. Huddersfield are currently 16th in the Championship, eight points clear of the relegation zone. Carmelo Zuccaro told La Stampa (in Italian) phone calls were being made from Libya to rescue vessels. Organisations involved in rescue operations have rejected accusations of collusion, saying their only concern is to save lives. Italy is the main route for migrants trying to reach Europe. Almost 1,000 people are thought to have drowned in waters between Libya and Italy this year, according to the UN refugee agency. Nearly 37,000 people have been rescued over the same period, a surge of more than 40% from last year, the figures say. "We have evidence that there are direct contacts between certain NGOs [non-governmental organisations] and people traffickers in Libya," Mr Zuccaro is quoted as saying in La Stampa. He said that telephone calls were being made from Libya and rescuers were shining lamps to direct smugglers' vessels and turning off transponders so boats could not be traced. But he did not say he would open a criminal investigation. Mr Zuccaro's comments come amid growing criticism of NGO activity in the Mediterranean, including one leading politician saying it was tantamount to providing a taxi service to Europe. But Chris Catrambone, who co-founded the Migrant Offshore Aid Station NGO to rescue migrants, told Reuters news agency "more would die if we weren't there". Correction 8 May 2017: The comment about a "taxi service" was incorrectly attributed to border agency Frontex in an earlier version of this story. The interruption to supply, which is mainly affecting the AB15 postcode area, started at about 11:45. Scottish and Southern Energy Networks has apologised to those who were without electricity. John Swift's free-kick gave the Royals a second-minute lead but the visitors levelled when Joey van den Berg headed a corner into his own net. Anthony Knockaert's low drive put the Seagulls ahead straight after the break and Paul McShane made it 2-2 by converting Garath McCleary's pull-back. Van den Berg was sent off late on for a second bookable offence. Swift's opener, an inswinging ball which evaded everyone from a wide position on the left, was the first goal Brighton have conceded this season. McCleary and Yann Kermorgant were constant threats as Jaap Stam's Royals dominated the opening period, with the Frenchman having a shot cleared off the line by Lewis Dunk and dragging another effort wide. Brighton improved after the break but goalkeeper David Stockdale made a reflex save to tip an overhead kick from Kermorgant behind and keep the scoreline at 2-2. The visitors could not take advantage when Van den Berg, who had picked up a caution for dissent in the first half, was dismissed by referee Mike Jones with one minute remaining for pulling back Tomer Hemed. Albion, who finished third last season, remain unbeaten but slipped to second after Huddersfield secured a late win over Barnsley. Reading manager Jaap Stam: "In terms of energy and creating chances, I think we did very well. We controlled the game in the first half. "After we came back to 2-2, we tried to go for the third goal. We tried to win the game, which is now in our nature. That's how we want to play. "My philosophy of playing is that we want to play attractive and attacking football with a lot of possession. And that's what we did today. But we do make mistakes and that's what we need to get out of our system." Brighton manager Chris Hughton: "I was especially disappointed with our first-half performance. For the levels that we've been at recently, I don't think we reached those levels in the first half. "There's no particular reason for that. We've made a couple of changes and perhaps that rhythm wasn't there. "Periods in the game became very open and I thought Reading did it better than us. At times, they looked more of a goal threat than us." Match ends, Reading 2, Brighton and Hove Albion 2. Second Half ends, Reading 2, Brighton and Hove Albion 2.

With a $100m (£80m) budget, it has begun the search for technology companies that could provide biometric systems, such as facial, iris and fingerprint recognition. Head of border security John Coyne said it could be a "world first". But critics have questioned the privacy implications of such a system. "Biometrics are now going in leaps and bounds, and our ability to harness the power of big data is increasing exponentially," Mr Coyne told the Sydney Morning Herald. The department of border security hopes to pilot the "Seamless Traveller" project in Canberra this summer, with rollout to larger airports scheduled to be completed by spring 2019. But University of Wollongong technology and biometric expert Prof Katina Michael told the Guardian newspaper that such technology could pose a risk to privacy. "Even if the system works, is that ethical to impose this system on the entire populace without even asking them?" she said. "I see the perceived benefit, but what I do know is that there will be real costs, human costs, not only through the loss of staff through automation, but also through discrimination of people who may appear different." Amir is available for selection after being jailed and banned for five years for his part in a spot-fixing scam during the 2010 Test series in England. Azhar and former captain Mohammad Hafeez had initially refused to join the camp before opting to return. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) says Azhar "will continue as captain". The PCB statement added: "Azhar Ali met the PCB chairman [Shaharyar Khan]. He tendered his resignation. The chairman didn't accept his resignation. Azhar Ali agreed." Hafeez said last month that he could not "share the dressing room with someone who hurt my country's integrity". Meanwhile, a Pakistani court has rejected a petition against the inclusion of Amir in the national team with the 23-year-old set to be included in the squad for next month's limited-overs tour of New Zealand. In 2010, aged 18, Amir pleaded guilty to bowling no-balls at pre-arranged times during Pakistan's fourth Test against England at Lord's. He served half of a six-month jail term, while team-mates Mohammad Asif and captain Salman Butt served six and seven months respectively. Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan has backed Amir's return to international cricket but Test skipper Misbah-ul-Haq has said he feared the bowler's comeback would prove a big distraction for the team. The Class 385 train, which was built by Hitachi, is the first of 70 that will operate on Scotland's busiest route from Edinburgh to Glasgow via Falkirk. They will also be used between Stirling, Alloa and Dunblane, as well as some routes south of Glasgow. Night testing of the train will start this week, ScotRail said. All Edinburgh - Falkirk High - Glasgow services will be using the new trains from December 2017 and the whole fleet will be delivered by 2019. ScotRail said the trains were inspired by the Japanese Shinkansen bullet train and would offer rail travellers in Scotland a "21st Century passenger experience". The electric aluminium trains are much lighter than the current diesel stock which means they can accelerate faster and offer potentially shorter journey times. They will also provide thousands of extra seats, according to ScotRail. The four-car train was unveiled in Glasgow. Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said: "The arrival of the first new class 385 train for testing in Scotland is a great milestone in this government's commitment to our railway and a tangible sign to passengers of the very real efforts we are making to improve capacity and comfort. "Since 2007, we have introduced an extra 140 carriages with 200 more to follow by 2019, increasing the ScotRail fleet by 50%. "This forms part of the Scottish government's £5bn investment in transforming Scotland's railways and I will continue to push for improvements of this kind." There has been much recent criticism from the public over the punctuality and reliability of ScotRail services since Dutch firm Abellio took over the franchise in 2015. Opposition parties have also repeatedly questioned the Scottish government over the level of service. In November, Mr Yousaf called for "immediate improvement" in rail services as the government published its improvement plan for ScotRail. Phil Verster, managing director of the ScotRail Alliance, said the delivery of the first Class 385 train was a "landmark day". "We now have a visible symbol of our ongoing massive rail investment, the biggest since Victorian times, one that will become a reality for our customers from next September when passenger services begin. "We are delivering more seats, more services and better stations over the next few years, leading a transformation that we can all be very proud of." Scrum-half Lloyd Williams starts after returning from the bench in their 26-15 defeat at Zebre last weekend. Warriors have been boosted by the return of six players who featured for Scotland at the Rugby World Cup. Stuart Hogg, Mark Bennett, Finn Russell, Jonny Gray, Josh Strauss and Ryan Grant are in the match-day squad. The 34-year-old prop, Jenkins, leads Blues on his return to regional duty as head coach Danny Wilson makes seven changes. Josh Navidi, Cam Dolan, Gareth Anscombe and Cory Allen will be absent through injury. Wilson says he does not feel under any pressure in the wake of their poor start to the season. After trouncing Zebre in their opening game of the season at Cardiff Arms Park, Blues have lost away games against Ireland's four provinces, followed by the loss in Italy that Wilson described as "diabolical" and "embarrassing". Wilson reiterated his assertion that Blues' fortunes can only be improved by a long-term "project" after seasons in which predecessors Phil Davies and Mark Hammett departed. He says wing Cuthbert, whose form for Wales has been criticised, has returned to Blues keen to impress. "Alex trained really well and was extremely enthusiastic about what we were doing, and it was good to see him back and I'm looking forward to seeing him put the jersey on," said Wilson. "But at the moment, like a lot of this squad, I'm yet to work with Alex over a period of time. "I've yet to see him perform for a Blues team that I'm coaching." Media playback is not supported on this device The return of the six Scotland caps means there are 20 internationals in the Glasgow squad and 15 full international caps in the visitors' starting line-up. Hogg returns at full-back, with Tommy Seymour moving to the left wing in place of Sean Lamont. Australia international Taqele Naiyaravoro comes in for Lee Jones on the opposite side. Bennett returns to makes his first Warriors appearance since March, with Richie Vernon not involved this weekend. Russell replaces Duncan Weir at fly-half and Grayson Hart comes in for Mike Blair at scrum-half. Gray captains the side for the first time since being named club captain. Strauss returns at blind-side flanker, while Chris Fusaro is at open-side and Adam Ashe starts at number eight, with Simone Favaro not involved this weekend and Ryan Wilson moving to the bench. Ryan Grant returns from injury and is named among the replacements. Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend said: "We once again welcome back another group of Scotland internationals, which means competition within our squad is increasing all the time." Cardiff: Dan Fish; Alex Cuthbert, Rey Lee-Lo, Gavin Evans, Tom James; Rhys Patchell, Lloyd Williams; Gethin Jenkins (capt), Kristian Dacey, Taufa'ao Filise, Lou Reed, James Down, Ellis Jenkins, Sam Warburton, Josh Turnbull. Replacements: Matthew Rees, Sam Hobbs, Craig Mitchell, Jarrad Hoeata, Manoa Vosawai, Tavis Knoyle, Jarrod Evans, Tom Isaacs. Glasgow: Stuart Hogg, Taqele Naiyaravoro, Mark Bennett, Peter Horne, Tommy Seymour, Finn Russell, Grayson Hart, Gordon Reid, Pat MacArthur, Sila Puafisi, Leone Nakarawa, Jonny Gray (Captain), Josh Strauss, Chris Fusaro, Adam Ashe.

Assistant referees: Rhys Thomas, Gwyn Morris (both WRU). Citing commissioner: Aurwel Morgan (WRU). TMO: Gareth Simmonds (WRU). Fam says it will continue its search to for a foreign coach. The former international striker's first task will be an Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier against Madagascar in April. "It is a big challenge and we have to sit down and focus very well and see what we can do," he said. "We need to come up with a system which should help us win games because in the past we have been struggling." Fam has clarified that while Phiri and his assistant Deklerk Msakakuona will sign one year contracts it is still looking for an expatriate coach. "The issue of the expatriate coach is a process and I think as and when the process is concluded that will be announced and the right changes will be made", Fam General Secretary Alfred Gunda explained. Phiri, who turns 49 next month, was in charge of the Flames as a caretaker for January's 2-2 draw in a friendly against Chinese side Guangzhou FC. The match was the inaugural match at the new Bingu National Stadium constructed by the China in Lilongwe. The former under-20 coach replaces Ernest Mtawali, who was fired in June 2016, after a poor showing at Southern Africa's regional championship the Cosafa Cup. Malawi begin a training camp on 2 April ahead of their CHAN game away in Madagascar on 22nd April with the return leg at Bingu Stadium a week later. The association has also have secured a friendly away to Kenya on 18th April en-route to Madagascar. First Essex driver Michael Willson, 44, met Denise Ashby about nine years ago, when she stepped aboard his Chelmsford park and ride bus. They spoke to each other and became friends. But after two years riding on his bus, Denise moved to Basildon. When they met again last year, Mr Willson told her how much he had missed her. Mr Willson, who now drives the X30 Southend to Stansted service, said while he had conversations with most of his customers "there was something different about Denise". "It was just so comfortable to talk to her," he said. "And we ended up very, very good friends." But when Denise changed jobs and no longer boarded his bus, Mr Willson realised his feelings for her were far more than friendship. "All of a sudden she was gone," he said. "I was a bit devastated and I tried to reason with myself to the fact I would never see her again." They bumped into each other again at Chelmsford bus station in March 2014. Mr Willson initially told the then Ms Ashby he was well and happy. But then he faltered, and told her: "Actually, I'm not fine, I should have told you how I felt about you." Ms Ashby told Mr Willson she felt the same and they became a couple before Ms Ashby proposed to Mr Willson at the park and ride bus stop where they had first met. They married at County Hall in Chelmsford, which is near the city's bus station, at the end of January. They travelled to Norfolk for their honeymoon, not by bus but by train. Using the hashtag #SATsshambles on Twitter, teachers have listed a range issues and are calling on all schools to go through their pupils' marked papers to check for errors. The Department for Education said results of the tests were "robust and accurate" but head teachers could apply for a review of contested marks. According to the teachers tweeting, 10- and 11-year-olds were asked to put punctuation in a pre-written sentence and - even though they got the right answer - did not get a mark because their commas were not curved the right way or their semi-colon was too large or not in precisely the right place. They also complained about marking guidance which they claimed only markers, not teachers, had access to. Primary head teacher Cathryn Throup tweeted some of the issued guidance which gave details of the "origin, height, depth and orientation" of semi-colons - or where pupils' should write their answers. In particular it said: Primary teacher Liz Hindley, who tweets as @Leaping_liz, put up pictures of four answers all featuring the semi-colon in the correct place, but two were given a mark and two were not. "The lack of consistency is so frustrating," she said. Other teachers raised similar issues, such as pupils' answers straying outside of the box. Brian Walton, head teacher of Brookside Academy in Somerset, told the BBC that schools had not been told that markers would mark pupils down for misshapen semi-colons and answers straying outside of a box. "The markers had guidance that none of the teachers, none of the schools knew about, so a lot of this guidance about the size and the shape and the orientation and how we form letters - we didn't know that," he told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. "Remember, they [pupils] are putting written semi-colons in text type with no gaps between the writing at the same time - we're really getting pernickety when we're getting to that level." Mr Walton said he did know the scale of the problem, but had already had 50 or 60 heads in his area contact him with concerns. Writer and poet Michael Rosen tweeted: "The punctuation police demand that the mark has to be drawn correctly and at the right angle." In a statement, Pearson, the company which administered the Sats, said: "Marking quality is extremely important and is something we monitor continuously. "In the unusual circumstance that there is an error, there is a review process in place which ensures a fair and transparent system and enables Pearson to correct any discrepancies and ensure pupils receive a fair mark." A spokesman for the DfE said there were "a number of measures in place to ensure that schools' Key Stage 2 writing teacher assessment judgements are robust and accurate". "The Standards and Testing Agency takes any issues with the accuracy of schools' teacher assessment judgments very seriously. "Any concerns about particular schools should be reported to the STA so that they may be properly investigated." But teacher unions criticised the marking for being inconsistent, saying pupils were being marked down on a technicality when it was clear they knew the correct answer to the question. Russell Hobby, general secretary of school leaders' union NAHT, said: "We now operate within a testing culture which appears focused on catching young children out rather than recording their achievements. "Such a culture will swiftly erode the confidence of parents and teachers that the system is operating in the best interests of pupils. "The stakes are so high that we seem unable to apply reasonable common sense." Kevin Courtney, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: ""We already know that moderation is inconsistent and open to gaming. "Now, teachers are finding out that marking is unreliable too. "The system does not deserve anyone's trust, and it should not be the basis on which schools are held to account." Last week, official figures showed two-fifths (39%) of primary school pupils in England had failed to meet the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics. However, this summer's results were an improvement on the success rate last year (53%), which was the first year of new, more rigorous tests. Geraldine and Peter McGinty said it was "sickening" to overhear the remarks after giving a statement at a parole hearing on one of their son's killers. Apologising, Judge Graham White said he thought he was talking in "private". The Parole Board said victims can "play an important part" in hearings. Guidance from the Parole Board for England and Wales says victim statements can "provide useful context and information". But it says decisions are "ultimately" based on the offender's "current risk", adding: "In most cases, the victim is unlikely to have information [on] this." Colin McGinty, 21, was stabbed to death in 2001 in Bootle on Merseyside and two men - Michael Brown and Gary Hampton - were jailed for his murder later that year. They both recently applied to the Parole Board to be moved to an open prison and Colin's parents were invited to read victim impact statements to the judge before he decided the application. During Brown's hearing, the couple read their statement via video link then heard the comments made by Judge White, who mistakenly believed the link had been disconnected. "The judge turned round and said to someone else in the room: 'I feel so very sorry for these families. They make these statements thinking they are going to make a difference, but they make no difference at all. Someone should tell them'," Mrs McGinty told the BBC. "The heartache that we go through to do these statements, to be told they don't make any difference." The couple have not criticised the judge, and have said they appreciated his honesty. Judge White told the BBC the McGinty family heard a "private conversation which had not been meant for publication". "I am sorry if what they overheard upset them and if it made them feel that what they had said had no impact because it certainly did, but what it can't do is affect our judgement of his [Brown's] risk," Judge White said. By BBC home affairs correspondent June Kelly Colin McGinty was on a night out with friends when he was stabbed 15 times in what detectives believed was a case of mistaken identity. In their victim personal statement his parents described how they made their way to the hospital in the early hours of the morning, saying: "That sight of Colin will haunt us forever." His last words to his father were "I can't breathe." He died shortly afterwards. Colin was the second of Geraldine and Peter McGinty's five children. At the heart of the family home in Formby on Merseyside is a picture of Colin with his four siblings. Mrs McGinty told the BBC: "He was a good brother and a fabulous son. He was really hard working. He had completed an apprenticeship as a joiner." The family's statement says: "We are serving a life sentence of heartache and grief and pain." Parole Board chairman Sir David Calvert-Smith told the BBC victims should be told what their statements may or may not achieve, and the board was trying to spread this information. In a statement, the board said victims can "play an important part" in helping panels decide whether a prisoner should be released. It said victims might suggest questions for the offender about "their understanding of the consequences of their behaviour" and assist in setting licence conditions such as exclusion zones and conditions not to contact victims. Sir David also confirmed an investigation would be carried out to determine whether "something was said, which really should not have been said" at the hearing involving the McGinty family. But Mr and Mrs McGinty said the Parole Board and politicians had been misleading the public on the issue of victim statements. Recommendations have been made that both Colin's murderers should be transferred to open prisons - something his family oppose. By BBC legal correspondent Clive Coleman Over the last 15 years or so there has been a rebalancing of the criminal justice system to give it a greater focus on victims. Part of the change was the introduction of Victim Personal Statements (VPS). These can and frequently will be taken into consideration by a judge passing sentence. A sentencing judge must assess the seriousness of an offence. Part of that assessment will include taking into account the effect of the crime on victims. However, a Parole Board's role is to assess the risk posed by the prisoner. That is a rational decision based upon evidence of the prisoner's progress. It will be made on the basis of evidence including reports from experts including psychiatrists and psychologists. In determining "risk" a VPS, which may be very powerful and moving in setting out the emotional and psychological effect of the crime on the victims, will be of very limited effect - and in many instances, as Judge White has said, may have no effect at all. Wendy Crompton, whose son William was killed when he was 18, said she believed her statement to a parole board "would make a difference". But, in an interview with BBC Radio Wales, she questioned why families were put through the trauma of doing so if it had no effect. Former Parole Board member Professor Andrew Sanders, now head of Birmingham Law School, said the board's job was to assess the "risk" of releasing a prisoner, a decision based on expert assessments. He said victim statements can "sometimes impact on the terms of parole" - for example if people do not want contact with the prisoner - but these issues are things the Parole Board "ought to know anyway". "The way the government policy works out, victims are being led to believe they'll make a difference when in fact they don't," he said. "It raises expectations very unfairly." Shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan said victims could not "dictate" when an offender was released, but their views should help "focus" the questions at parole hearings. He said Labour was calling for a "victims' law" so "victims have real teeth and know their entitlements". Victims' Commissioner Baroness Newlove said: "Victims pour their hearts into these statements to make sure they do their loved ones the best possible justice - they should never be dismissed like this." In the mid-1990s, David Bowie, his financial manager Bill Zysblat, and banker David Pullman came up with a new scheme to generate cash from Bowie's extensive back catalogue. In 1997 Bowie sold asset-backed securities, dubbed "Bowie bonds", which awarded investors a share in his future royalties for 10 years. The securities, which were bought by US insurance giant Prudential Financial for $55m (£38m), committed Mr Bowie to repay his new creditors out of future income, and gave a fixed annual return of 7.9%. He struck a deal with record label EMI which allowed him to package up and sell bonds on royalties for 25 albums released between 1969 and 1990 - which included classics such as The Man Who Sold The World, Ziggy Stardust, and Heroes, according to the Financial Times. Bowie used part of the $55m to buy out his former manager Tony DeFries, with whom he had split with in 1975, says music writer Paul Trynka. Mr Bowie's realisation in the 1970s that he didn't own all the rights to his catalogue - Mr DeFries reportedly owned up to 50%, on a sliding scale, in perpetuity, for music created up to a certain point - had caused Bowie to have a mental breakdown of sorts, Mr Trynka says. "He had this psychological nose-dive - all this music he had suffered to create didn't [entirely] belong to him." Mr Trynka says sources close to the deal suggested that the Bowie bonds allowed Mr Bowie to buy Mr DeFries out for more than $27m, but this amount has not been confirmed. However the deal was split, it would have certainly helped Mr Bowie's finances. The latest estimate of Bowie's net worth by the Sunday Times Rich List is £135m - putting him him joint 707th on the list, equal with pop star Robbie Williams, and Conservative Party co-treasurer Lord Lupton. And that is before sales of Bowie's new album, Blackstar, which the Official Charts Company predicts will be number one on the album charts this week, and back catalogue sales following Bowie's death. He sold around 150 million albums worldwide in his career, according to BPI stats. The pioneering nature of Bowie bonds caught the imagination of all sorts of musicians. Heavy metal monster Iron Maiden, funk and soul godfather James Brown, and Holland Dozier Holland, the song-writing team behind Motown records in the 1960s, were some of the artists to jump on the bandwagon. But just as some albums are more successful than others, innovations in debt investment can also have mixed fortunes. In 2004 rating agency Moody's Investors Services downgraded Bowie bonds to only one level above "junk", the lowest rating, after a downturn in the music industry. Mr Bowie had himself predicted the decline in traditional music sales, telling the New York Times in 2002 that music would become "like running water or electricity". However, the bonds "worked out well for everyone", according to music industry finance expert Cliff Dane. "Due to the particular nature of the security - the quality of the relevant Bowie songs and recordings - and the time and the place, it made very good economic sense for the investors, and for the company organising it." The model wasn't necessarily good for all asset-backed financing, Mr Dane says: "Think of the later bundling of sub-prime mortgages." Bowie's innovation lay in using intellectual property to back securities, says financial writer Chris O'Leary. He adds that banks were already starting to package up assets like mortgages into a new type of security in the 1970s. But the innovation of using unorthodox assets to back securities is still going strong, according to Reuters writer Neil Unmack, who said Mr Bowie's financial legacy is "hunky dory". "The wider field of esoteric asset-backed securities kick-started by the Thin White Duke has a genuine future," he says. Sales of non-traditional asset-backed debt made up 11% of the total last year, he says. "The risks are high: assets with little history are hard to model and vulnerable to sudden changes in regulation or government intervention. "But enough of them will succeed for Bowie's financial oddity to stay in fashion," he adds. This is because of the expense of lavish weddings, which makes it difficult for them to tie the knot.

The Pakistani Defence Ministry provided the figure on Wednesday in a written response to the Senate. It claimed no civilian had died in a drone strike since the beginning of last year. The US has defended its drone strikes by insisting that it takes "extraordinary care" to ensure they comply with international law. The latest figures released by Pakistan differ dramatically from previous estimates, but no explanation was given for the apparent discrepancy. London's Bureau of Investigative Journalism, which researches Pakistan drone strikes, told the BBC it estimated based on reports that between 308 and 789 civilians had died since 1 January 2008 (of between 2,371 and 3,433 total deaths). A recent UN investigator said this month that Pakistan had told him that US drone strikes had killed at least 400 civilians in Pakistan since they began in 2004. Source: Pakistan defence ministry "If the true figures for civilian deaths are significantly lower, then it is important that this should now be made clear, and the apparent discrepancy explained," UN special rapporteur Ben Emmerson said in an email sent to The Associated Press new agency. He has previously accused the US of challenging international legal norms by advocating the use of lethal force outside war zones. Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on a recent visit to the US called for an end to drone attacks in his country, saying the attacks violated Pakistan's sovereignty. Drone warfare has become common in the US pursuit of al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Few details are known about these covert operations, which are directed remotely from control rooms often on other continents. A controversial aspect of the US policy is that drone attacks are carried out not by the military but by the Central Intelligence Agency. President Barack Obama has insisted the strategy was "kept on a very tight leash" and that without the drones, the US would have had to resort to "more intrusive military action". Finnian Galbraith, 15, says in his Youtube video that many people in New Zealand have stopped making the effort to say Maori words and names properly, which is disrespectful and means the "beautiful" Maori culture could eventually be lost. The video - made in a filmmaking class at his school in Paraparaumu - has had more than 55,000 views on Youtube, in two days and more than 26,000 times on a Facebook page. In his video, Finnian says that every day on TV and on the radio "so many of us are pronouncing Maori names and words completely wrong", because of a lack of effort. Culture is "priceless and something that should be embraced, and something we as a country should be proud of", he says. Common Te Reo Maori words used in English Te Reo Maori, the language of New Zealand's indigenous people, is an official national language, and many Maori words - like kia ora (meaning hello) - have found their way into common English usage. An English-speaking New Zealander might greet someone coming to their house with a "kia ora" (hello) and a "haere mai" (welcome). The guest might bring a "koha" or gift, which the host would no doubt say was "ka pai" (good). The guest might leave after dinner with a full "puku" (belly). "It is part of all New Zealanders' culture," says Finnian. "If we lose the language - the pillar of tradition - the whole culture will be weakened and a whole lot of history and knowledge will be lost without the language." Finnian's posts have received a string of praise on both Facebook and Youtube since they were posted earlier this week, with many calling him a credit to New Zealand and suggesting he has a future in politics. "Kapai, young man," said Pettigrew PK on Facebook, using the Maori word for "good", while Cherry Christian offered "tautoko" (support), saying that "the more languages we know, the better we understand cultures and communication is enhanced". Some comments, however, accused him of racism towards white New Zealanders, and said Maori is a dying language not worth protecting. Finnian told the BBC he believes more needs to be done encourage use of the Maori language. "Only 4% of people in New Zealand speak Maori fluently and that number needs to grow," he said. He said he had had no idea that his video would have quite such a reaction in New Zealand. "I actually expected bad comments and surprised at how positive it's been," he said. Defence Minister Marise Payne said a survey ship found the submerged MV-22 Osprey in Shoalwater Bay shortly after starting its search. Twenty three people were rescued when the aircraft crashed on Saturday, but three remain unaccounted for. Rescue operations were called off early Sunday morning. The three US Marines were identified as Pfc Ruben Velasco, Cpl Nathaniel Ordway and 1st Lt Benjamin Cross. The aircraft, which is normally based in Okinawa, Japan, ditched into the water during a training exercise on Saturday. It is not clear what caused the incident. The US military says recovery and salvage work could take months. American military forces have been operating in the area as part of a joint training exercise called Talisman Sabre. The MV-22 Osprey is a tilt-rotor aircraft similar to a conventional plane but has helicopter-like rotor blades which allow it to take off vertically, without a runway. There have been a number of incidents involving Ospreys in the past, including a crash off the coast of Okinawa in December 2016 that injured five crew members. The deployment of Ospreys in Japan is unpopular with local residents, and Japanese Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera has asked the US to ground its Japan-based fleet until the cause of this crash is known. For the best part of a decade, the former postman relied on help from carers while confined to his bed. Each day around £75-worth of takeaways and chocolate would be delivered to his door. His daily intake of 20,000 calories - nearly 10 times the recommended average - saw him tagged in the media as the "world's fattest man". Everything had to be within arm's reach at his Ipswich home, including a feast of snacks to satisfy his constant need for a "quick fix". Mr Mason, 50, said he would barely sleep as he went on "24/7" binges of fish and chips, Chinese food and kebabs. "You have no sense of time, months all rolled into each other," he said. "For several years I didn't sleep properly because I was always eating. All I could think of was getting a quick fix of food. "I made sure I had supplies around my bed - chocolate, crisps and sausage rolls. I got to the stage where I had an addiction. "It was 24/7 eating. You don't feel full and you don't feel hungry." Nearly two years ago Mr Mason had life-saving NHS gastric bypass surgery to control his weight. But first he had to face up to the "demons" that he says led to his food addiction. He was bullied at school - not for his weight but for his height, as he quickly shot up to 6ft 4in (1.93m). He also endured heartbreak when a four-year relationship with a woman ended in the mid-1980s. Soon after, his father died, aged 52, and he helped care for his mother who suffered from arthritis. She died two years ago aged 76. Mr Mason, one of three children, said food was always a major part of family life - and something he turned to for comfort. "My dad used to insist when I was young that I cleared my plate," he said. "He would say 'I haven't worked all those hours for you not to clear your plate'. We had big meals. There was always a constant battle between us to see who could clear their plate the quickest." After leaving school, he did a mechanic's apprenticeship but would binge on food while skipping college lessons. His weight gradually increased during his teens and by the time he was 30 it had topped 25 stone (158kg). But it was in the early 2000s when his weight really shot out of control as he grew from 40 to 70 stone (250 to 450kg). Mr Mason said he barely left his home in Ipswich, Suffolk, between 2001 and last year, aside from occasional hospital trips. In early 2010, he underwent the bypass surgery. Since then, he has shed 40 stone as he transformed his diet and, gradually, became more active. That brought with it new stresses, including learning to cope with venturing outside. "I remember travelling to hospital in the ambulance for my operation and the traffic really freaked me out," he said. "I had become institutionalised." He has also had to deal with being recognised. "I do get jibes - people drive past saying 'fat boy' and things like that," he said. "You get people staring at you but it doesn't bother me. "You don't do this because you want to become the world's heaviest man. "Anyone can come up to me and argue about 'why should you get that help and why have you got that?' "We live in a free country. When I talk to them and explain what my problems are they are more understanding. It's an illness." Even with his dramatic weight loss, his battle for more surgery has continued as he has been left with vast folds of excess skin. Doctors have told him his weight, currently around 30 stone (190kg), needed to reduce further and then stabilise at his target weight before he could have surgery to remove the skin. But he said it was hindering his effort to reach his target of about 17 stone (107kg). "I don't want to be a drain on society but I can't get on with my life without this surgery," he said. "I feel like I have been left high and dry. My life is on hold because it is stopping me from getting back into society." A spokesman for NHS Suffolk said a panel, including clinicians, decide on whether such operations should take place. He said: "A patient must have a stable weight before he or she is considered." Prof David Haslam, from the National Obesity Forum, has backed Mr Mason's fight for further surgery. He said: "By undergoing the first operation to have gastric bypass surgery, which would normally cost about £9,000, Mr Mason has saved the NHS tens of thousands of pounds. "The least the NHS can do now is give him the operations to remove his excess skin. "It's not a simple case of just snipping the skin off - it's complex plastic surgery but it's almost inevitable in a case such as this." Mr Mason is determined to win his weight battle - and says he is driven on by flashbacks of his previous condition. "I don't want to block out what happened to me because it spurs me on now," he said. "It stops me from going back to how I used to be." The 63-year-old appeared via videolink from prison at Chester Crown Court. Mr Bennell had already denied eight of the offences but entered not guilty pleas again as 12 further charges were added. He was a youth scout and junior football coach associated with a number of clubs, most notably Crewe Alexandra. The charges include 14 counts of indecent assault, five counts of serious sexual assault and one count of attempted serious sexual assault. The alleged offences took place between 1980 and 1987 and involved four complainants who were boys under 16 at the time. The case was adjourned to 3 July when a hearing will take place at Liverpool Crown Court. Judge Roger Dutton said a trial was likely to be listed for January in Liverpool. Mr Bennell was remanded in custody. The Met Office figures show that 2015 was 0.75C warmer than the long-term average between 1961-1990. US data suggests that 2015 "shattered" the temperature record by the widest margin ever recorded. Experts say the record temperatures were due to a combination of El Niño and human-induced warming. Data produced by the US space agency (Nasa) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) show that 2015 "shattered" the previous record set in 2014 by 0.13C. According to Noaa, the increase in temperature over land and ocean surfaces between 2014 and 2015 was the largest margin by which the record has been broken. The fact that 2015 was going to break records had been heavily trailed by research agencies all over the world. The Met Office predicted that 2015 would be between 0.52 and 0.76 above the long-term average. The actual temperature came in near the top end of that forecast. Our warming world and El Nino "Looking ahead, 2016 looks like it's also going to be another warm year and that's associated with the fact that human influence on the climate through greenhouse gas emissions has pushed us into new territory," said Dr Peter Stott from the British meteorological organisation's Hadley research centre. "We're much warmer than we were and then we've got the continuing effects of El Niño in the Pacific Ocean as well." US experts agreed that the key reasons for 2015's record figures were a long-term trend of warming, mainly caused by the burning of fossil fuels, combined with the El Niño weather event. "The reason that 2015 has not just broken the record but has blown past it is because we are seeing a long-term temperature trend interact with the strongest El Niño of our generation," said Prof Katharine Hayhoe, director of the climate science centre at Texas Tech University. "What we have this year is the long-term rate of change with an extra spike of El Niño on top," she told BBC News. 2015 also was the first full year to break the 1C barrier above pre-industrial levels - a key benchmark for warming. Politicians from all over the world meeting in Paris last December promised to keep the global rise in temperatures "well below 2 degrees, in a bid to avoid dangerous climate change. Much of the warming has happened in the past 35 years, says Nasa, with 15 of the 16 warmest years on record occurring since 2001. According to Noaa, 2015 is the fourth time an annual global temperature has been set this century. 2015 also saw record high temperatures for 10 months, with five months showing the highest departure from the average of any month on record. And Dr Thomas Karl, who directs the administration's National Centers for Environmental Information, said current conditions would likely lead to 2016 being as warm as - if not warmer than - 2015. "In December and recent months in the autumn, records were broken by a substantial margin - much stronger than what we had seen earlier in the year. And it's going to be very difficult for that not to continue into at least the first part of next year because, in particular, the ocean temperatures are so warm," Dr Karl explained. Many parts of the world have experienced unusual weather patterns throughout 2015, which experts believe are in line with their expectations of the impacts of warming. There have been severe droughts in parts of Africa, in India and Pakistan, while flooding hit many parts of Europe and the US later in the year. "The end of 2015 was very exceptional in many ways. Here in the UK we had both the wettest and the warmest December in our records going back to 1910, but also globally," said Dr Stott. "We saw very warm temperatures in Siberia and Northern Russia and on the east coast of North America as well. "Part of that globally is associated with El Niño, but if we step back we can also see weather events that are consistent with an on-going pattern of a warmer climate with a greater risk of heatwaves and droughts." Climate sceptics had made much of the fact that the increase in global temperatures seemed to stall around 1998. Researchers say the latest figures underscore the fact that the hiatus is over. "The idea of a pause in warming in the scientific community has been roundly refuted," said Prof Hayhoe. "We know that climate change is measured over 20-30 years at least, and it's measured over that timeframe specifically because we have natural variability. When we look over 20-30 years and longer climate timescales, we see that global warming continues unabated." This point was echoed by Dr Gavin Schmidt, from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, which oversees the Nasa data record. "The reason why this is such a warm record year is because of the long-term warming trend, and there is no evidence that that warming trend has slowed, paused, or hiatused at any point in the last few decades," he told reporters.

"Thirty associations all reported back that they would see a negative impact on employment, their turnover and investment in the future." Mr Kane, chair of the Construction Industry Group of Northern Ireland, said the Stormont impasse was causing "quite a concern". "Also, a lot of them don't have that much work here in Northern Ireland left for the next three to six months. "Most importantly very few of them have any work past 12 months." Anderson, 18, has not been found guilty but will be suspended from professional tennis until the conclusion of the Tennis Integrity Unit's investigation. Victoria Police says the charges relate to a match at the Traralgon Challenger tournament in Victoria last October. He will also appear before magistrates on 2 March. Anderson, now ranked 1083 in the world, beat Uzbekistan's Jurabek Karimov to claim the Australian Open boys' singles title in January 2016. During his suspension, which the TIU says is not a determination of the player's guilt or innocence of corruption, Anderson will not be allowed to compete or attend any tournament or event organised or sanctioned by the tennis governing bodies. Anderson, who is from Brisbane, was first named by the Age newspaper in Melbourne in January 2017. A statement from Victoria Police at the time said: "Sporting Integrity Intelligence Unit detectives and bookmakers assisted with the investigation. "The Queensland man was charged with engaging in conduct that corrupts a betting outcome." In the match at the centre of the allegations, Anderson lost the first set against Harrison Lombe after being broken at 4-4 before going on to win the next two sets. Anderson then lost to John-Patrick Smith in the second round of the second-tier event in Latrobe City. Last year, an investigation by the BBC and BuzzFeed alleged that the TIU failed to act on suspicions that 16 players, who over the last decade have been ranked in the world's top 50, had been involved in match-fixing.

As well as a best supporting actress Oscar, Duke won an Emmy in 1980 for playing Helen Keller's teacher in a TV movie version. Duke also starred in The Patty Duke Show in the 1960s in which she took the roles of "identical" teenage cousins. She was the mother of actor Sean Astin, who played the hobbit Sam in the Lord of the Rings trilogy of films. Her representative, Mitchell Stubbs, said she died early on Tuesday of sepsis from a ruptured intestine. She underwent a heart bypass in 2004. Mr Stubbs said: "She was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a friend, a mental health advocate and a cultural icon. She will be missed." A statement from her family read: "This morning, our beloved wife, mother, matriarch and the exquisite artist and champion of mental health, Anna Patty Duke, closed her eyes, quieted her pain and ascended to a beautiful place." She died in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, according to Astin's publicist. The actor thanked all those who expressed their condolences over his mother's death. "We're so grateful to her for living a life that generates that amount of compassion and feeling in others,'' he told the Associated Press. He said she had "really suffered" with her illness, adding the last few days had been "a really, really, really hard process. It was hard for her, it was hard for the people who love her to help her". Duke was a child star, making her first TV appearance at the age of 12. In The Miracle Worker, 16-year-old Duke played blind and deaf girl Helen Keller whose tutor - played by Anne Bancroft - breaks through her isolation and helps her to communicate. Among those who have paid tribute was Little House on the Prairie star Melissa Gilbert, who appeared as Keller in the TV remake of the film opposite Duke, who played teacher Annie Sullivan. "I know she's in a better place. I will miss her every day but I will find comfort in the words of Helen Keller: 'The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart'," Gilbert said. US TV host Larry King said: "I admired Patty Duke for her bravery and work on mental health issues. And, what an actress!'' Actor Chris Colfer, who starred opposite Duke on a 2013 episode of Glee also paid tribute: "So sad to hear of Patty Duke's passing. She was a wonderful and talented person. I loved getting to work with her.'' Among Duke's other awards included Emmys for My Sweet Charlie in 1970 and Captains and the Kings in 1976. She also appeared in the Broadway musical Oklahoma!. In her autobiography, Duke revealed that in the 1980s she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In later life she became a strong advocate for increasing awareness, funding and research for people with mental illness.

US actress Patty Duke, who won an Oscar for playing Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker in 1963, has died aged 69.

Organisers had concerns the 14th festival would not go ahead because of a £15,000 funding gap, before a public appeal raised the money needed. Guests announced include comedian and broadcaster-turned chef Hardeep Singh Kohli. Novelists Simon Mawer, J David Simons, SG Maclean, and Cynthia Rogerson and STV's political editor Bernard Ponsonby will also be attending. Prizewinning poet Jo Shapcott, young Scots singer Siobhan Miller, musician and author Malachy Tallack, pianist Christina Lawrie, playwright and novelist Alan Bisset and award -winning Edinburgh band The Blueswater are almost among those to appear. The festival's Wine and Crime afternoon will feature Nicola Upson, Louise Welsh and Lesley Kelly.

The line-up has been announced for this year's Nairn Book and Arts Festival.

The Saddlers' first-ever appearance at Wembley ended in a 2-0 loss. "I'm proud of all the supporters," he told BBC WM 95.6. "They got behind us in their droves. We just wanted to give them more to shout about. "The build-up is superb, but Wembley is no place to be on the losing team." The Saddlers boss added: "We were very down on the coach on the way home. We've just got to pick ourselves up now for the rest of the season." Smith's main focus now is arresting a slide that has seen Walsall win just once in eight League One games. Having been potential play-off contenders for most of the campaign, Walsall are now closer to the League One drop zone (four points) than they are to the play-off places (10 points). And ahead of Saturday's trip to Chesterfield, Smith knows his side have to start performing a lot better than they did on Sunday, in a game played in front of more than 72,000 spectators. "I feel bit frustrated with the performance, which did not merit the occasion," he said. "Usually I'm a 'glass half-full' sort of person. Last week, we were one of four clubs who have never played at Wembley. Now there's only three, so you have to look at it that way. "But, on Sunday, we simply had too many players below par. "It was a bit of a nothing game. Neither keeper had too many saves to make and we've conceded a poor goal. We were very wasteful in the final third and did not work their keeper enough. And, to do that against the top team in the league, you're going to struggle." Walsall boss Dean Smith was talking to BBC WM's Adrian Goldberg.

Walsall manager Dean Smith says he was disappointed the Saddlers did not give their fans more to shout about in Sunday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy final defeat by Bristol City.

Chisako Kakehi stands accused of killing three partners and attempting to murder a fourth. Prosecutors say Ms Kakehi targeted the men for their money and poisoned them all with cyanide. Her lawyers pleaded not guilty on her behalf, only for Ms Kakehi to seemingly admit killing her last partner. Isao Kakehi, her fourth husband who she reportedly met via a match-making site, died on 28 December 2013, a month after they got married. On Monday, she appeared to confirm she had killed him, saying she committed crime because her husband was not treating her well financially, and that she had obtained the cyanide from a business associate. But on Wednesday she told the court: "I don't remember (what I said)", according to the Mainichi daily newspaper. Lawyers for Ms Kakehi had previously said her testimony could not be trusted, because she has mild dementia and "barely remembers things that happened recently". Investigations into the wealthy widow began after a post-mortem examination was carried out on her fourth husband, revealing traces of cyanide in his body. Ms Kakehi is on trial for murdering him and two other boyfriends, all aged between 70 and 80, and the attempted murder and robbery of another boyfriend - who later died of cancer - between 2007 and 2013. Ms Kakehi's three other husbands also all died, but she has not been charged in connection with their deaths. Some media have dubbed Ms Kakehi a "black widow" - a term derived from the female spider that eats its partner after mating. In April another Japanese woman, Kanae Kajima, who was convicted of killing three lovers, lost a final appeal against her death sentence at the Supreme Court. Stella, a pitbull-type dog, was seized in 2014 and a destruction order was passed by a court in February. But earlier, Exeter Crown Court granted Stella a reprieve. Her new owner Carolyne Pharaoh took her on after Stella's previous owner Antony Hastie agreed to transfer ownership. Click here for the latest updates on this story Police had seized the dog because of its breed, its behaviour when officers seized the dog, and subsequent behavioural assessments. Ms Pharaoh told the court: "I have formed a real bond with Stella. I'm very fond of her, my family are very fond of her. I feel we can give her a good quality of life." The court heard how Ms Pharaoh has converted a stable to a dog room and has given Stella access to a yard and a securely fenced field. Judge Graham Cottle, sitting with two magistrates, issued Stella with a contingent destruction order. Judge Cottle said: "We have to be sure Stella doesn't pose a risk to public safety. Carolyne Pharaoh said she will take ownership of the dog and apply for an exemption certificate. "It's clear she is very willing to do whatever is necessary to ensure Stella is not a risk to public safety", he told the court. Mr Hastie, cried and hugged Ms Pharaoh, whom he said he was "eternally grateful" to. "I'm made up that she [Stella] is going to be free," he said. "It's broken my heart for the last two and a half years." Devon and Cornwall Police said they supported the court's decision "due to the suitability of the new keeper to look after and rehabilitate Stella." "Devon and Cornwall Police has on a number of occasions shared its concerns at the lengthy delay to cases, caused by legislation, the court system and on occasions the unfit owners surrounding the issue of dangerous dogs," a spokesman said. "The force has already put forward a report to the Defra Select Committee inquiry into the welfare of seized domestic animals." Juhel Miah, 25, was escorted off a connecting flight heading to New York from Iceland on 16 February. David Lidington, leader of the House of Commons, said the incident ran contrary to the US policy on British citizens. Labour MP Kevin Brennan said US president Trump was treating UK school teachers "like criminals". Mr Miah had flown to Reykjavik, Iceland, with a party from Llangatwg Community School in Aberdulais, Neath, before boarding an onward flight to New York on 16 February. But before the plane took off he was escorted off by security staff. Mr Lidington made his comments after Cardiff West MP Mr Brennan raised the case in the House of Commons. Mr Brennan said: "Isn't there a contrast between the way we are rolling out the red carpet for (US) President Trump, whatever our views on that, whilst he's treating our school teachers like criminals?" In response, Mr Lidington told the chamber it was "perfectly fair" for Mr Brennan raise the case, which was "disturbing because it went contrary to the declared policy of the United States government as regards British citizens. "My understanding is that this was down to the way in which a decision was taken at a more local level in that particular case." He said he would raise Mr Brennan's concerns with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. Mr Miah earlier told BBC Wales he has a British passport and does not have dual nationality. His family's ethnic background is Bangladeshi. He said he had never been to any of the seven Muslim-majority countries included in an executive order signed by US President Donald Trump, temporarily barring people from those places. A US executive order suspending immigration and non-immigrant entry to the US for people from Libya, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen was suspended by a legal ruling earlier in February. Prior to the suspension, the UK government had been told British citizens were not affected. Turkey says about 70 suspected members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and two soldiers have been killed since Wednesday in a major military operation against the rebels. A ceasefire and talks to settle the conflict broke down in July. Kurdish sources say 200,000 people have been forced from their homes. Around 10,000 government security forces, backed by heavy weaponry, have been involved in the operation which centres on Cizre and Silopi, according to the military. Cizre was placed under curfew in September, with Turkey describing the town as a hotbed of PKK activity. Grim reports from Turkish town under curfew Inside Turkey's battle-scarred Kurdish town Turkey-PKK conflict: Why are clashes escalating? Mr Davutoglu said the government would oppose any attempt by the the PKK and its supporters to expand the conflict. "If your struggle is creating chaos in these cities, we will not allow that. "If they are struggling to secede from Turkey, we will never allow that." On Monday, two protesters died in a clash between police and Kurdish demonstrators over a curfew imposed in Diyarbakir. Parts of the city were placed under curfew in November after a pro-Kurdish lawyer, Tahir Elci, was shot dead in a fight between police and unidentified gunmen. Two policemen also died. More than 40,000 people have died since the PKK launched its armed campaign in 1984. "We fear many schools and colleges are unable to meet their legal obligations for disabled pupils," said ATL leader, Dr Mary Bousted. The union's annual conference has heard claims some schools used special needs reforms as a "smokescreen" to cut jobs. The changes came into effect in September 2014. At the time, the government described them as the biggest education reforms in a generation, but some charities warned they were implemented too quickly. The aim of the new system was to give children and young people with special educational needs, and their parents, a greater say in the support they receive. A survey of more than 500 ATL members, published during the conference, has found some 65% felt their school or college has had to provide more support for physically disabled students over the past two years. Half (49%) felt their school or college had more physically disabled pupils than two years ago, and 56% said there had been an increase in the past five years. However, the union says there have been a large number of redundancies among special needs teaching and support staff roles, with schools and colleges losing vital expertise and reductions in the support they are able to provide. One special educational needs coordinator in a Cheshire sixth form college highlighted cases of pupils who once got full time support but who now no longer get "any support at all". Some of the staff surveyed said there was no extra training to help them deal with pupils' disabilities. In particular, almost half (48%) said more training should be provided to help staff identify and support pupils with physical conditions. Some 14% said training was only provided if specifically requested, and 12% said no training was given at all. Dr Bousted said the survey suggested special needs provision was "woefully inadequate in many schools and colleges, following an increase in the amount of support needed to provide for physically disabled pupils". She said changes to special needs funding, together with recent reforms meant teachers were "now expected to meet a far wider range of special educational and disability needs, despite a lack of training, and huge cuts to external support services". "Members are also worried the additional and unsupported responsibilities placed on education staff will prevent them from doing their job to the best of their abilities. "We fear many schools and colleges are unable to meet their legal obligations for disabled pupils under the Equality Act 2010. "The Act legislates for equal, and in some cases additional adjustments, to enable these pupils to flourish and achieve their potential. It's morally right and what's more, it is the law." The conference resolved to "closely monitor the situation and highlight the diminution in provision". Estyn stepped in at Bridgend council following an inspection of its education services in October 2012. Inspectors say the authority has now made sufficient progress, after two additional Estyn visits last year. Issues addressed include pupil performance and using intervention powers at underperforming schools. Estyn said there had been "significant changes in the senior management team within the children's directorate". The inspectors also noted that the pace at which the issues had been addressed had increased under the new leadership. The period drama remake - a ratings hit for the BBC - has been recommissioned for another eight episodes. Turner has won legions of fans as the brooding, scythe-wielding Cornish hero Ross Poldark. The show has helped BBC One record its highest ratings share for the first three months of the year in a decade. Series two will be based on the third and fourth books of Winston Graham's series set in 18th century Cornwall. Eleanor Tomlinson will also reprise her role as Poldark's beloved Demelza. Poldark was originally made for TV in the 1970s, with Robin Ellis in the lead role, and hooked audiences of 15 million. The recent adaptation pulls in around eight million viewers per episode, helping to boost BBC One's overall ratings for the first quarter of 2015. Programmes like Poldark, EastEnders, and Still Open All Hours helped the corporation win 25.2% of viewers in peak times. Call the Midwife averaged 10.3 million viewers making it the most watched drama series across all channels so far this year. BBC One controller Charlotte Moore said it had been "an outstanding start" to the year. She said: "We aim to maintain that momentum and continue to move with the times and bring audiences a range of distinctive, high quality programmes that feel relevant and reflect the diversity of modern Britain." A Zoltan Gera half-volley put Hungary in front but Ronaldo set up Nani to fire in an equaliser before the break. Two deflected Balazs Dzsudzsak strikes twice restored Hungary's lead early in the second half, but a Ronaldo flick and header levelled on each occasion. Hungary progress as Group F winners, with Portugal through in third place. Portugal had been on course to play England in the last 16 as they occupied second place in the group at the final whistle in Lyon, but it was Iceland who claimed the runner-up spot with a dramatic injury-time winner against Austria in Paris. Portugal, who would have crashed out had they lost to Hungary, have now reached the knockout stage in all seven of their European Championship appearances. Hungary, who were denied a winner when Adam Szalai's shot hit the post, will now play Belgium, who finished second in Group E. Relive Hungary v Portugal Ronaldo appeared to be feeling the strain of not having scored at the tournament when, during a team stroll ahead of the Hungary match, he grabbed the microphone of a reporter and threw it into a river. The 31-year-old came into the match with no goals from 20 attempts in the first two matches - including a missed penalty against Austria - and cut a forlorn and frustrated figure after Hungary took the lead through Gera's superb strike. But the Real Madrid star set up Portugal's equaliser when he played a piercing ball for Nani to drive in a low shot which beat Gabor Kiraly at his near post. And when Portugal twice fell behind to Dzsudzsak after the break, Ronaldo responded by rediscovering his scoring prowess just when it was needed. His first goal - a deft flick from Joao Mario's cross - made him the first player to score in four different European Championship finals tournaments. "A crazy game, we were out of the European Championship three times, and we were always chasing the game," said Ronaldo. "It's not every team that manages to beat Spain, so we respect them [Croatia]. But we know our strength, we know our worth, and we'll look them in the eyes." Unfancied Hungary have emerged as one of the feel-good stories of the Euros and have advanced from the group stage of a major tournament for the first time since the 1966 World Cup. They conceded 63.2% of possession to Portugal but they scored three goals and caused Portugal's defence plenty of problems, even though manager Bernd Storck did not play four players on yellow cards. They went ahead when 37-year-old former West Brom and Fulham midfielder Gera chested down a half-cleared corner before drilling home from 25 yards, while a free-kick and left-footed strike from Dzsudzsak went in off Andre Gomes and Nani respectively. Akos Elek and Gergo Lovrencsics also went close, while a shot from Szalai effort struck the post in a pulsating game. Hungary manager Bernd Storck: "I think it's a dream for the whole of Hungary - I'm speechless. The fans really supported us in the two previous games, but today it was even better." Hungary midfielder Zoltan Gera: "We're on a fantastic journey. It means a lot to the team. The best wine is the oldest one, and the oldest wine is getting better and better, and I'm happy about that." Portugal coach Fernando Santos: "This is what Cristiano is all about. He has to score because he's a winner. He plays up front and feeds on goals. This game increased his confidence levels." Portugal will play Croatia on Saturday, 25 June at 20:00 BST in Lens, while Hungary will play their last-16 tie on Sunday, 26 June at 20:00 BST in Toulouse. Match ends, Hungary 3, Portugal 3.

US President Barack Obama hailed a new emerging Africa, while US firms pledged $37bn (£33bn) in investment during the meeting. Papers in China have been following the event closely, recalling that Beijing has often been criticised for "colonising" Africa with its economic projects. Noting that the US has "never stopped targeting China", the Global Times observes that the US is now "seemingly following in China's footsteps". The paper says that China has "no wild ambitions on the African continent" and adds that Beijing "does not feel threatened" by the "warming US-African ties". "The whole world has to admit that China has been the biggest boost in shifting global attention back to Africa. Without China's rapidly growing co-operation with Africa, many Western countries would probably still be dismissing Africa's massive potential," says the paper. He Wenping, an expert on African affairs, tells the Chinese edition of the paper that the US should not monopolise the African market. "It will not benefit the development of Africa and Beijing-Washington ties if the US… engages in a malignant competition with China," says the pundit. An article in the state-run China Net points out that Washington's intention is to use the summit to compete more successfully with countries like China, India and Japan that have already set foot in the continent. It says that the US is trying to transform itself from an aid provider to an economic partner, and to "position itself as the big brother in African economic development". China Net warns, however, that no one should try to "conquer" the continent. "It is unimaginable that any country or region is able to solve the massive problems of Africa on their own. It is wishful thinking for anyone who hopes to keep Africa for themselves, for their self-interest, by undermining others," it points out. Papers continue to focus on the government's anti-graft effort after the recent news that former security chief Zhou Yongkang is being investigated for "serious disciplinary violation". Mr Zhou headed China's Ministry of Public Security and was a member of the top decision-making body, the Politburo Standing Committee. "The verdict on Mr Zhou's case was more or less concluded since the end of last year, but its implementation had to be carefully planned," a commentary in the People's Daily reveals. The paper points out that China's new leadership fought a major battle against corruption by targeting Zhou Yongkang. The article adds that there are "three wars to be fought after Zhou's case", the first being establishing the rule of law, which will be the theme of October's plenary session of the Central Committee of the ruling Communist Party. "Many thought that the discussion on the rule of law will be delayed till the next term of government, or at least until next year, but now we know that the current leadership is seizing every minute… The fight against corruption does not end here, it will continue," People's Daily writes. It adds that improving the efficiency of the market economy and ensuring fairness with no cronyism is the second war that needs to be fought, noting that "the monopoly of state-owned enterprises will have to go". "The third war is the peaceful rise of China and ensuring that it has the space for survival", concludes the daily. And finally, religious officials and experts are calling for the establishment of a Chinese Christian theology that can adapt to the country's national tradition. According to the China Daily, between 23-40 million Protestants live in the country and they could account for up to 3% of the population. Wang Zuoan, director of the State Administration for Religious Affairs, is quoted by the paper as saying that Chinese Christian theology should be compatible with the country's path to socialism. "The creation of a Chinese Christian theology should adapt to China's national condition and integrate with Chinese culture," he argued at a seminar on the Sinicisation of Christianity held in Shanghai. Writing in the China Ethnic News, Zhuo Xinping, president of the World Religions Research Centre at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, adds that it is essential for all religions in China, including Buddhism, Christianity and Islam, to be sinicised, so they could "integrate and adapt better" into Chinese society.

Alison Jane Farr-Davies, 42, was found dead at a home in Neath Road, Hafod, Swansea, on Tuesday afternoon. South Wales Police said Dean Marcus Jones, 37, has been charged with her murder. He appeared before Swansea magistrates on Saturday. Ms Farr-Davies would have turned 43 on Friday, a birthday she shared with her mother. His 1971 book, Open Veins of Latin America, became a classic of leftist political literature in the region. It chronicles the deep injustices of Latin America and its exploitation by capitalist and imperialist forces. Mr Galeano's trilogy "Memory of Fire" also received wide praise when it was published in the 1980s. It is a three-volume narrative of the history of the Americas which starts in the pre-Columbian period and ends in 1980. He was best known for his book, Open Veins of Latin America, which gained popularity again after the late Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez, gave it as a gift to US President Barack Obama at the Summit of the Americas in 2009. Mr Galeano also wrote fiction, essays and journalism and, before becoming one of Latin America's best known writers, had many other jobs. He worked at a factory, as a bank clerk, a painter and a political cartoonist. Mr Galeano went into exile when the Uruguayan military took power in 1973 - first to Argentina, where he founded the literary review Crisis, and then to Spain. He returned to Uruguay after democracy was restored in 1985. Local media are reporting that Mr Galeano left a new text to be published after his death, according to the BBC's Veronica Smink in Argentina. James McCann, 79, of Suffield Court, Swaffham, Norfolk, is charged with 18 sexual assaults and 48 assaults in connection with St Francis Boy's Home, Shefford, between 1963 and 1974. John Cahill, 73, of Chandos Court, Bedford, has been charged with six sexual offences against four boys. Both men will appear at Luton Magistrates' Court on 30 November. The charges against Mr McCann relate to 25 alleged victims were aged between five and 16. Those against Mr Cahill relate to four alleged victims aged between 11 and 16. Mr Trump had indicated in a TV debate on Thursday he might order troops to carry out water-boarding "and tougher" on terrorism suspects. On Friday, he said "as president I will be bound by laws". The US has now banned water-boarding and it is widely considered a form of torture. Water-boarding is the practice of pouring water over someone's face to mimic drowning as an interrogation tactic. Katty Kay: Europe hates Trump US election 2016: Super Tuesday results The legal classification of water-boarding is not clear, although many human rights and legal experts as well as politicians regard it as torture. It became debated in the US after the administration of George W Bush said legal counsel allowed it to be used in the interrogation of suspects. However, the practice was later halted. In the Fox News TV debate for Republican hopefuls on Thursday, Mr Trump said: "Can you imagine? Can you imagine these people, these animals over in the Middle East, that chop off heads, sitting around talking and seeing that we're having a hard problem with water-boarding? "We should go for water-boarding and we should go tougher than water-boarding," When asked what he would do if troops refused to carry out the procedure, he said: "They won't refuse. They're not going to refuse me. Believe me." But on Friday he issued a much softer statement, saying he would use "every legal power" to stop terrorists. "I do, however, understand that the United States is bound by laws and treaties and I will not order our military or other officials to violate those laws and will seek their advice on such matters. "I will not order a military officer to disobey the law." Earlier on Friday, Mr Trump dropped out of a major conservative political conference, opting instead to campaign in Kansas and Florida. He was scheduled to speak on Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a gathering of conservative activists in Maryland. Organisers CPAC tweeted: "Very disappointed Donald Trump has decided at the last minute to drop out of CPAC - his choice sends a clear message to conservatives." His fellow Republican presidential candidates are all expected to speak. The statement said Mr Trump looked forward to attending next year, "hopefully as president of the United States". The decision could further damage an already-strained relationship with the Republican party establishment. Mr Trump was attacked on Thursday by former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who remains a central figure within the party. Mr Romney called the businessman a "phony" and a "fraud" and said his controversial policies threatened to make the world less safe. At the TV debate, Mr Trump also came under attack from Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, who criticised him for changing his position on various issues. Mr Trump admitted he had changed his stance on issues but argued that flexibility was a strength. Republicans in four states - Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and Maine - go to the polls on Saturday. The billionaire has won 10 of the 15 states that have voted so far, with his promise to "make America great again". 5 March: Kansas caucuses, Louisiana primary, Kentucky and Maine caucuses (Republican), Nebraska caucuses (Democratic) 6 March: Maine caucuses (Democratic) 8 March: Hawaii and Idaho caucuses (Republican), Idaho primary (Republican), Michigan and Mississippi primaries 15 March: Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio primaries The attack took place on the same day as Egyptian security forces broke up protest camps set up by Brotherhood supporters, leaving hundreds dead. Egypt has been fiercely criticised for its crackdown on Islamist supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi. Hundreds of death sentences have been passed but none have been carried out. The latest sentences are subject to the opinion of Egypt's top religious authority, the Grand Mufti. A final verdict is due on 24 January, after which defendants may appeal. More than 140 of the 188 defendants are already in custody, while the rest have been sentenced in absentia. The sentences were passed for an attack on a police station in the village of Kerdasa on 14 August 2013, in which at least 11 officers were killed. More than 500 people have been sentenced to death for a separate attack on a police station in Minya on the same day. Mr Morsi, a senior figure of the Brotherhood, had been forced from office by the military in the previous month, following mass protests against him. He was succeeded by President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, a former military chief who has been heavily criticised for his crackdown on the Islamists. On Saturday, another court dropped all charges against former President Hosni Mubarak, who has been in custody since being overthrown in the so-called Arab Spring uprising of 2011. Critics of the current government accuse it of restoring Mr Mubarak's authoritarian practices. The event, billed as "the toughest off-road race in the UK", is now in its 10th year. Participants tackled mud-filled trenches, water crossings and forest trails in the Scottish Borders until late on Saturday night. They were able to choose between a five kilometre and 10 kilometre challenge. Jim Mee, creator of the Mighty Deerstalker, said: "In a world where obstacle-heavy events dominate, The Mighty Deerstalker goes back to the basics and uses Mother Nature to deliver the challenge. "Competitors not only have to deal with a gruelling course in the wilds of the Scottish winter, but they also must do so in complete darkness." He added: "This year was The Mighty Deerstalker's 10th anniversary, making it one of our most established and popular events. "As always, there was a fantastic atmosphere on the night, with lots of participants dressed up in tartan and tweed, keeping with the event's historic theme." Senior officers, including a former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, have warned that anticipated budget cuts put at risk the ability of police to respond with the speed and the scale that would be required in such circumstances. So, what has been happening to policing numbers and budgets in recent years? For much of the 1990s and the first decade of this century, both main political parties were engaged in something of a charm offensive with the police service. Law and order was high on the political agenda, with the consequence that keeping the police onside was expedient. The election of a Conservative-led coalition government in 2010 changed the landscape and the period since has seen a much less comfortable relationship between the government and the police service. The home secretary for the whole of the period since 2010, Theresa May, has been vocal in her criticism of many aspects of policing - including historic cases like the 1989 Hillsborough disaster and the abuses of undercover policing, to the day-to-day problems stemming from the misuse of stop-and-search powers. Arguably, however, it has been the imposition of drastic budget cuts, with more promised, that has exercised senior officers the most. During the five years of the coalition government, the central government contribution to police expenditure was cut by one quarter in real terms. Although this was slightly offset by local increases in council tax, it still resulted in an overall 18% reduction in police budgets in real terms. To cope with budget cuts, police forces have started to make a wide variety of changes to the ways in which they work. There is now greater collaboration between forces and greater use of shared services while many forces have reduced costs by closing police stations, reducing procurement costs and reorganising the workforce. Most significant of all though are the reductions to the workforce. But how significant has that actually been? In the five years from March 2010, police officer numbers declined by close to 12% - a loss of almost 17,000. The decline in the workforce was even greater, with a loss of 15,877 support staff and 4,587 police community support officers (PCSOs). These are undeniably very significant cuts, but they do need to be placed in longer-term perspective. The very significant increases in both police budgets and numbers that took place under the previous Labour administrations mean that both officer and overall workforce numbers are now back roughly at the levels they were between 2001 and 2003. How are forces coping? The home secretary's view is that this is a success story, with crime continuing to decline from its high point in the mid-1990s despite the budget cuts and workforce reductions. But there are signs of strain. Although a recent inspection by the National Audit Office found fairly limited evidence of what it calls "workplace stress" - meaning most forces appear currently to be coping reasonably well - they did note signs that some forces were likely to find it difficult to manage in the medium term without major changes in the way they operate. The chancellor's spending review, to be announced on Wednesday, is expected to confirm further huge reductions in the central government contribution to police expenditure - rumoured by some to be as high as 20%. Again, some of this may be offset by increases in council tax, but the search will be on for how best to reduce expenditure. More collaboration, further use of the private sector and sales of police property will all be in the frame. There will also be further very significant reductions to the workforce. One large metropolitan force, the West Midlands, has already announced plans to slash the number of PCSOs, and it is likely that many others will follow suit. Further substantial falls in both officer numbers and in civilian staff are inevitable. Some of this may also make the police and others reflect with increased seriousness on the breadth of the police mandate. Is it necessary for the police to do everything they currently do? If not, who else might do these things and with what consequence? Royal Commissions are unpopular, but this might be a time to take a step back and give such questions the serious thought they deserve. Whatever else may change, the responsibility for dealing with the threat posed by international terrorism is and will remain a central part of the policing task. To what extent do budget cuts undermine this capability? British police officers remain unusual in not being routinely armed. Firearms remain the domain of specialist officers but, as much else, this too has been an area of decline in recent years, the total having fallen by 15% between 2009-2014. The Metropolitan Police - the force most likely to bear the brunt of any major terrorist threat - has a Specialist Firearms Command (SC&O19), with a carefully protected budget, but in the wake of the Paris attacks the Commissioner announced that the number of armed response vehicles had already been increased. And while the capital's armed capability had been reduced by one-fifth since 2008-09, he was looking for ways to reverse this trend. But it is not just the armed police response that is crucial. As is true of all policing - counter-terrorism is no different - successful operations rely upon information flows from the public and intelligence gathering. Here again, budget restrictions will almost certainly reduce, perhaps radically, the numbers of PCSOs on the streets - part of the public face of the service - and are likely to pose significant challenges to neighbourhood policing. As things stand it is hard to assess the extent to which austerity has affected the police service's ability to meet the demands that seem likely to confront them. What is more certain is that this will likely be a source of political contention for some time to come. Tim Newburn is Professor of Criminology and Social Policy at the London School of Economics.

In effect, it decides how £4 trillion of taxpayers' money will be spent by setting caps on government departments. Deep spending cuts are expected as Chancellor George Osborne seeks to balance the books. Explained: Which government departments will be affected? Analysis: Latest from BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg More: BBC News Spending Review special report Sam Morrish died in December 2010 from a treatable condition because four health service organisations made mistakes, the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) said. He died of severe sepsis after a "catalogue of errors". Sam's parents also said they had "serious concerns about the competence and accountability" of the ombudsman. Ombudsman Dame Julie Mellor said that had Sam received the appropriate care, he would still be alive today. Cricketfield GP Surgery, NHS Direct, Devon Doctors Ltd and South Devon NHS Trust were all criticised. Failures included inadequate assessment of the toddler, not recognising that he was vomiting blood and a three-hour delay before he received antibiotics at hospital. His family said as well as losing their son, they feel they have been "failed" by the NHS complaints system. In a statement released through the Patients Association, they also criticised the ombudsman. "The astonishing length of time it has taken for PHSO to finalise this report has inescapably prolonged our distress. "Although we are grateful that the PHSO has upheld our complaints... we are left with serious concerns about the competence, capability and accountability of the PHSO itself." Sam's mother Susannah Morrish said: "The report looks the way it does because of our constant intervention. "The fact there had to be two draft reports, both of which looked radically different to this final report, says something. "Our involvement included providing information, pointing out omissions, correcting factual errors. "Our thoughts were if we didn't do this, who would?" Sam's father Scott Morrish said: "The thing that we're still trying to push for is, we're not clear who the ombudsman is accountable to, we're not clear who really understands what happens behind the scenes there, and we're not entirely sure that Parliament is actually able to look at anything more than what comes out in the report." Dame Julie said: "I accept that the family are right that the investigation method used in this case was not adequate to the complexity of the case. "I really recognise that this contributed to the family's distress and we have apologised for that and thanked the family for their feedback on the particular method we used in this case, because we are developing new investigation methods." Dame Julie said that Sam's devastated family suffered "further injustice" because health officials failed to properly investigate the youngster's death. "But this case has to be looked at in the context of taking on over 4,000 cases to investigate every year, and receiving very few complaints about the quality of our decision making. "When we do, we treat it like gold dust to help us improve our service. "We've published this case so that the wider NHS learns from Sam's death," she added. NHS England was ordered to pay £20,000 to the family. Mr Morrish said: "The irony is we never wanted to lodge a formal complaint. "We only did because we were advised to by the Patients Association in response to the NHS completely getting it wrong, not once, but twice. "We didn't want it to be about blame, we wanted it to result in good learning." Dr Graham Lockerbie, speaking on behalf of the local NHS, said: "Sam died when he should have survived." "We all accept the blame for that. Quite simply, we should have done better. "When we investigated, we were still unable to provide adequate answers to Mr and Mrs Morrish about what had gone wrong, or to reassure them that things would change for the future. It is clear that this only compounded their grief. "Again, on behalf of the local NHS, I apologise." Instead of just voting for one candidate voters could rank candidates in order of preference, and these preferences could be used to decide the outcome in places where no candidate wins more than 50% of votes cast. Use this guide to find out more. The public will be asked whether they want to replace the existing first-past-the-post system for electing MPs to Westminster with a method known as the alternative vote (AV). Under first-past-the-post, the candidate who gets the most votes in their constituency is elected as the MP. The AV system asks voters to rank candidates in order of preference. People can nominate as many preferences as they like. Only first preference votes are counted initially. Anyone getting more than 50% of these is elected automatically. If that doesn't happen, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their second choices allocated to the remaining candidates in a second round of counting. If one candidate then has more than 50% of the votes in this round they are elected. If not, the remaining candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their second preferences (or third preferences if they were the second choice of someone who voted for the first candidate to be eliminated) reallocated. This continues until one candidate has 50% or more of the vote in that round of counting, or there are no more votes to be distributed. If someone votes for just one one candidate under AV, their vote will be counted once in each round that takes place. But any further preferences they could have stated will not be taken into account. They argue that too many votes are effectively wasted under the current system, with elections decided by a small number of voters in a handful of seats where no single party has a large majority. This discourages people from voting, they say. A key weakness of first-past-the-post, they say, is that two-thirds of MPs are now elected with less than 50% of support of voters and that this undermines democracy and reduces the legitimacy of MPs. They say candidates will have to work harder for votes and reach out to a broader cross-section of the electorate. Anti-AV campaigners say the current system generally leads to stable government and has historically reflected the will of the public, in that unpopular governments have been voted out. They argue that first-past-the-post is straightforward and easy to understand. They say parties get elected on a manifesto and are expected to implement it, while, under other systems more likely to produce indecisive outcomes, the government is decided after the election by horse-trading and political fixes with manifesto pledges being ditched and promises broken. Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron supports retaining first-past-the-post while his Liberal Democrat deputy Nick Clegg is campaigning for a switch to AV. Their views reflect the positions of most of their MPs and activists. Labour leader Ed Miliband is campaigning for a yes vote in the referendum but his party is split on the issue. Here's a party-by-party guide. On 5 May 2011, the same day as elections to the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly, the Northern Ireland Assembly and local elections in many parts of England. The question to be put is: "At present, the UK uses the 'first past the post' system to elect MPs to the House of Commons. Should the 'alternative vote' system be used instead'? Yes or no?" The No campaign has said the poll will cost about £90m to stage and that an extra £156m will be incurred in switching to AV. The Yes campaign has accused its rivals of "lies", saying the claims are largely based on the alleged cost of introducing electronic counting machines and that these are not required for AV elections. The government has said holding the referendum on the same day as other elections around the UK will save about £17m. The referendum is overseen by the Electoral Commission. Votes will begin to be counted at 1600 BST on 6 May, the day after the poll. The outcome of the referendum is expected to be known later that evening. Australia is the only major democracy to use the same type of AV system as the one being proposed for the UK, but voting is compulsory there. Papua New Guinea and Fiji also use AV - but most democracies use versions of proportional representation or first-past-the-post. Forfar host Airdrieonians, Albion Rovers take on Ayr United, Raith Rovers face a trip to Alloa Athletic and Stranraer welcome East Fife. In League Two, Berwick Rangers welcome Clyde and Edinburgh City host Montrose. Elgin City face Cowdenbeath, Annan take on Peterhead and Stirling Albion kick off against Stenhousemuir. The track at Musselburgh is only operating on a temporary licence from the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which has expressed dissatisfaction with the course's "governance". The sport's regulator will not give exact details of its concerns, however sources have said it is awaiting required business and budget plans. Although there is no suggestion forced closure is imminent, it is unclear how long the regulator is prepared to wait. It also unclear what will happen if the matter is not resolved when the temporary three-month licence - the second to be issued - expires on 30 June. Without official endorsement from the BHA, Musselburgh, which hosts horseracing in Scotland alongside Ayr, Hamilton, Kelso and Perth, could be forced to close. Managers, who run the course with members of East Lothian Council as the Musselburgh Joint Racing Committee (MJRC), say there has been a breakdown in relations with the councillors who hold a majority on the committee. John Prideaux, senior racecourse representative on the MJRC, has asked local MSP and leader of the Scottish Labour Party Kezia Dugdale to intervene. He has also called on the council to act. He said: "Financial matters regarding both budgets and staff have not been handled in a timely way. "Although there's a meeting of the MJRC in the diary, I've emailed the chief executive [of the council] on four occasions and he's not even responded. "The course is common land, but they own the buildings and stables and we pay a commercial rent of £120,000 a year - we deserve better. "At the moment, getting these issues sorted so that the BHA is happy is not even close, and I'm worried that their people will run out of patience with us. Closure can't be ruled out. "This situation is such a tremendous pity. It's casting a cloud over Scottish racing when we should be celebrating a brilliant story at Aintree and looking forward to the Scottish Grand National at Ayr." In response, East Lothian Council paid tribute to the racecourse's contribution to the local economy as "one of the country's top attractions". It said it was "aware of some concerns" but "an investigation by the MJRC, under the chairmanship of Councillor John Caldwell, into these concerns is ongoing, and it would be inappropriate to comment further until the investigation is concluded". In a statement, the British Horseracing Authority said: "While we cannot comment on the specifics of an individual racecourse licence application, more generally we can confirm that, from time-to-time, the BHA does attach conditions to the renewal of a racecourse licence to ensure that any issues it identifies as needing to be addressed are resolved satisfactorily and in a timely manner." Musselburgh is scheduled to host five more fixtures, all of them flat racing, before 30 June and a further 13 before the end of 2017. The former England captain was elected chairman of the international governing body on Wednesday and will make a global calendar one of his priorities. Six Nations chief executive John Feehan has previously branded the tournament's February-March slot "non-negotiable". But RPA chairman Christian Day said: "I hope he (Beaumont) can do it." World Rugby wants a streamlined global season to safeguard players against injury from being overworked through sheer number of games. Beaumont said moving the Six Nations "could well be a solution" and was a "question of compromise". Northampton forward Day said the global structure needs to be "broken" if changes are to be made. "Hopefully the southern and northern hemispheres will get together and work things out for the players," he added. "The difficulty is how do you drive that forward without making some big changes to set-ups that have been a certain way for a long time." Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea is also "hugely worried" about the duress players' bodies are put under. "Something has to give in the longer term," he told BBC Sport. "That could be 'do we have too many competitions? Where are the windows? Where are the international windows put?' "It's a big jigsaw that needs a few people to put their egos to one side to solve the problem." Former Wales and British and Irish Lions flanker Martyn Williams has also backed Beaumont's hopes of revamping the tournament "I'm totally in agreement. It should be moved," Williams told BBC Wales' Scrum V Radio. "I'm an advocate of summer rugby and that's a long way off I know, but if we're going to try to catch up with the southern hemisphere that would be a massive part of it. "There's nothing worse for a player than when you're bouncing back and fore between competitions. "It would be ideal, like the southern hemisphere, where progressively the season gets harder."

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said there were heavy clashes between the Syrian Democratic Forces and IS militants on the outskirts of Manbij. The SDF began an offensive to take the town on 31 May, quickly encircling it. Manbij sits on an intersection of roads linking the IS stronghold of Raqqa to the Turkish border and Aleppo province. The SDF, which is dominated by members of the Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG), has already driven IS out of much of north-eastern Syria and controls more than 500km (310 miles) of the border. On frontline in the battle for Manbij Islamic State group: The full story Islamic State crisis in seven charts Life and death in Syria The Syrian Observatory, a UK-based monitoring group that relies on a network of sources on the ground, reported on Thursday that clashes were taking place for the first time inside Manbij. SDF fighters were pushing into a western part of the town, between the Kitab and Sharia roundabouts, supported by US-led coalition air strikes, it said. IS militants had rigged houses with booby-traps, slowing the advance, it added. A spokesman for the US-led coalition, Col Chris Garver, told reporters on Wednesday that it anticipated a "good fight" once SDF fighters entered Manbij. "We've anticipated that they [IS] would hold Manbij till the last, that it would be one of those places that they defended till the end and we have not seen anything that's going to change that assessment right now," he said. The SDF said it had thwarted an IS counter-attack on Monday that included the use of vehicles laden with explosives and reportedly inflicted heavy casualties. At least two SDF fighters were killed in Thursday's fighting, bringing to 63 the total number killed since the Manbij offensive began, according to the Syrian Observatory. At least 458 IS militants are said to have been killed in that time. The SDF completely encircled Manbij almost two weeks ago, but held back from launching a final assault to retake it out of concern for civilians inside the town. The Syrian Observatory said more than 3,000 civilians had fled Manbij during the fighting, but the UN warned on 6 June that as many as 236,000 might be displaced. UKIP have never had a night like it. For all the hype, attention and victories of recent years, there was one thing this party craved more than anything else: a seat in the Commons. They managed it, briefly, with the defection of Bob Spink from the Conservatives in 2008. But he was never elected on a UKIP ticket and was gone in 2010. In Clacton, it's the real deal. Douglas Carswell won and won easily, taking 60% of the vote and a majority of more than 12,000. Note too Mr Carswell's language in his victory speech: "We must be a party for all Britain and all Britons, first and second generation as much as every other." If Clacton provided the headline, Heywood and Middleton provided the surprise: UKIP nearly won there too. Little wonder party leader Nigel Farage was on the champagne in the pub afterwards. The faces of Tory activists in Clacton said it all. Imagine how you'd feel if you had to listen to the victory speech of a former colleague who walked out on you and then gave you a walloping to boot. UKIP are something of a stink bomb for all the big Westminster parties, but a particularly wiffy problem for the Conservatives. The Tories will take some comfort from the fact that Douglas Carswell is very popular in Clacton, and analysts say this is a seat particularly suited to UKIP. The next by-election, in Rochester and Strood in Kent, caused by the defection of Tory Mark Reckless to UKIP, is likely to be a whole lot closer. And psychologically for both parties, it will be huge. A couple of weeks ago, Labour's general election supremo Douglas Alexander gave a presentation to party activists. I paraphrase wildly but the gist of one chunk was: "I get the threat from UKIP." After last night, so will every Labour activist. For a long time Labour has taken comfort from the damage UKIP was causing the Tories. And yes, evidence suggests they do disproportionately attract former Conservative support. But UKIP's eighth runners-up spot in a by-election, in Heywood and Middleton, was their sixth in supposedly safe Labour seats. For so often the nimble masters of the nifty by-election victory, since joining the coalition the Lib Dems have plunged to near subterranean depths of by-election embarrassment. They could once claim to be the alternative voice - the label UKIP now wear with pride. In Clacton the Lib Dems finished fifth, with 1.37% of the vote. Things were a bit better in Heywood and Middleton, where they managed 5%. You don't need to be a maths whizz to get that 5% is not a lot, but consider this. So dire has been the Lib Dem performance in most by-elections since 2010, in 10 of them they have failed to keep their deposit - the 500 quid a party has to stump up to stand, which is returned if the candidate secures 5% of the vote or more. So at least in Heywood they got their money back. Getting their voters back could prove rather trickier. Jamaica international Williamson, 34, who will join on 1 August, has signed a 12-month deal after making 66 starts in three years at Blackburn. Dyer, 33, has agreed a similar deal, having spent the final three months of last season with Burnley. Delaney, 19, arrives from Irish club Wexford Youths on a two-year deal. And the club have an option to extend his contract by a further year. Williamson came through the Mansfield youth system and his previous clubs also include Northampton, Rotherham, Watford, Sheffield United and Portsmouth. Burton manager Nigel Clough said: "Lee is a vastly experienced midfielder in the Championship and is the second international who's joined us in the last 10 days - quite something for Burton Albion." Dyer most successful spell came during six years with Leicester City, helping the Foxes to promotion from League One and the Championship - during which he also captained the side. "I think his experience will be vital for us this season," said Clough. "We are a little bit short in wide areas and Lloyd will provide that outlet, especially if we are under the cosh. His pace is also going to be an asset." Teenager Delaney will be playing in England for the first time and Clough added: "He can play left-back or left centre-half. He hasn't yet played at a decent level but he does a lot of things naturally. "He has not been in full-time training which means he's been blowing a bit in the last 20 minutes of games but we think we can get him up to speed." The assembly commission - which runs the institution and is made up of AMs from all assembly parties - has already backed the case for more members. It is now likely to appoint a body to examine how best to make the change. Prof Laura McAllister of the Wales Governance Centre has been suggested as a possible chair of the panel. Under the Wales Bill - which is passing through Parliament - the assembly will have responsibility for its own electoral arrangements, including how AMs are elected and how many of them there are. Minutes of a meeting of the assembly commission in December said it wanted to appoint an "expert panel on electoral reform" of "diverse, appropriately experienced individuals", suggesting Prof McAllister as a suitable chair. There have been longstanding calls from some political parties for an increase in the current total of 60 members to deal with the assembly's workload, particularly as new powers over taxation and other issues are devolved. However Rachel Banner, who led the 2011 referendum campaign against increased law-making powers for the assembly, has said any increase in AMs should be put to a public vote. The expert panel is likely to be set up if and when a motion on whether AMs back the finalised Wales Bill is passed in the assembly, according to an assembly source. The vote - which is known as a legislative consent motion - is expected to be tabled in January. An earlier academic report said there would need to be changes to the electoral system if the number of AMs was to be increased. On Monday, the council transferred most of Mr Ford's budget and many of his powers to the deputy mayor. Mr Ford, 44, who has promised to fight the council's decisions, criticised the vote as a "coup d'etat". The mayor of Canada's largest city has faced intense pressure to resign after admitting to smoking crack cocaine In recent weeks he has also acknowledged buying illegal drugs while serving as mayor. Mr Ford abstained from Monday's vote, but promised "outright war" in the next election against the councillors who opposed him. "What's happening here today is not a democratic process, this is a dictatorship," he told the city councillors. "You are absolutely telling everybody that voted in the last municipal election that their vote does not count." And Mr Ford refused to apologise, saying he had done enough apologising already. "I've admitted my mistakes," he said. "I'm not going to sit here and go on and on and on." Earlier in the heated council meeting, Mr Ford ran through the gallery, accidentally knocking over city councillor Pam McConnell before catching her. Ms McConnell was later seen holding ice to her lip. Monday's motion reduces Mr Ford's office budget by 60%, and allows mayoral staff to join deputy mayor Norm Kelly, largely making Mr Ford mayor in name only. Profile: Rob Ford The council does not have the power to remove Mr Ford from office unless he has a criminal conviction. Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong, once a Ford ally but now one of his most outspoken critics, said the mayor's conduct was embarrassing the city. "He's the worst spokesman for the city of Toronto right now," he said. The Toronto council began stripping away his powers on Friday, voting 39 to 3 to prevent him from being able to dismiss the deputy mayor and taking away his emergency powers. Despite the scandal, Mr Ford does not seem inclined to shun the spotlight. He gave interviews to US media organisations at the weekend and appeared at a Toronto Argonauts game, despite the Canadian Football League commissioner suggesting he not. Mr Ford and his brother Doug Ford, a city councillor, launched their own current events television programme on Monday evening. The show, Ford Nation, is named after the bloc of conservative, suburban voters who put Mr Ford in office in 2010. The mayor told viewers they would see a change in him over the next few months, saying that he had not touched alcohol in a number of weeks. "I'll take a urine sample right now,'' he said on the pre-recorded show. On Sunday, Mr Ford told US broadcaster Fox News he had "admitted to drinking too much", but said he was dealing with it, including going to the gym two hours every day. "I'm seeking professional help, I'm not an alcoholic, I'm not a drug addict," he said. "Have I had my outbursts in the past? Absolutely. "But you know what, I'm only human. I've made mistakes. I've apologised." He added: "Yes, one day I do want to run for prime minister." The Toronto mayor apologised again on Thursday for making an obscene outburst on live television while denying he had offered oral sex to a female staff member. He had been responding to allegations in court papers that he had also driven drunk, used racially abusive language, threatened staff and consorted with an alleged prostitute. Mr Obama said there is no precedent or mechanism to revoke the honour, which Mr Cosby was awarded in 2002. The president declined to discuss any specific aspects of Mr Cosby's case. However, Mr Obama did say that giving someone a drug and then having sex with them without their consent should be considered rape. "I think this country, any civilized country, should have no tolerance for rape," Mr Obama told reporters on Wednesday. Mr Cosby admitted during a court case that he had obtained Quaaludes - a sedative - to give to women with whom he wanted to have sex. Dozens of women have come forward and said they were drugged and raped by Mr Cosby since the 1970s. Since the allegations, several TV networks have ended projects with Mr Cosby and statues in his honour have been removed from public display. Mr Cosby has not been charged with any sexual assaults. Because the alleged assaults happened years ago, he can not be charged in most of the cases under US law. A petition - sponsored by a sexual assault awareness group - has urged the White House to take back Mr Cosby's medal. The presidential award is given to people from all walks of life who have made exceptional contributions to society. Previous honourees include Mother Teresa, Margaret Thatcher, Stephen Hawking, Walt Disney, Doris Day, Duke Ellington and Aretha Franklin.

Sterling fell sharply in value against the euro after the Brexit vote. As a result, eurozone countries are more expensive for UK holidaymakers. Kevin Toland told an Irish parliamentary committee that UK traffic to Dublin airport is "falling like a stone". He added that the airport is seeing good growth from other markets. Mr Toland said the DAA, the body that runs the airport, is "very, very exposed" in the event of a hard Brexit as 39% of its traffic is to and from the UK. The UK is currently part of the EU's Open Skies arrangement which gives all EU airlines the right to fly between member states and domestically within member states. That arrangement is ultimately governed by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the current British government has ruled out submitting to the authority of the ECJ after Brexit. That will mean the UK will need a new bilateral aviation agreement with the EU. However, if one cannot be agreed before March 2019 there could be disruption to flights. Mr Toland said an aviation agreement needs to be reached quickly because airlines do not want to be in a position where "they will be selling a service they can't deliver". He said that some airlines will begin making decisions about routes in the spring of 2018. Mr Toland said the UK appeared to have "essentially missed" the importance of aviation matters after Brexit and was only now engaging with the detail. He added that Dublin could ultimately face greater competition from UK airports. "They've allowed their air capacity to be gridlocked for 40 years. Post the Brexit vote they've woken up."

The chief executive of the organisation that runs Dublin Airport has said that Ireland is experiencing a "freefall in tourism from the UK" as a result of sterling devaluation.

But league bosses insist they are confident that the 12 clubs will know their end-of-season games by the end of Wednesday. An announcement by the Scottish Professional Football League has been delayed by discussions with broadcasters and police. The Premiership splits into two sections of six for the final games. And the SPFL had hoped to have released the fixtures soon after weekend results confirmed which clubs would be in the top and bottom halves of the table. The SPFL says it has a finalised list of fixtures ready to publish but is still waiting for final approval from all the agencies involved. A league spokesperson told BBC Scotland that it is "confident" and "hopeful" the fixtures will be made public on Wednesday but could not absolutely guarantee it. The first round of post-split matches will be on the weekend of Saturday, 25 April, with the final round of matches on the weekend of 23/24 May. Holders Celtic lead the Premiership by five points from Aberdeen and have a game in hand. Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Dundee United, St Johnstone and Dundee will chase a Europa League qualifying spot. St Mirren, who are guaranteed to finish in the bottom two, and Motherwell will battle it out to avoid the one automatic relegation spot. Ross County, Kilmarnock, Partick Thistle and Hamilton Academical will also compete in the bottom six. A relegation play-off tie against a Championship side awaits the team finishing second bottom. 1600-1601 - The three historic principalities of Romania - Transylvania, Moldavia and Wallachia - are briefly united under one ruler, Michael the Brave.

Frankie Boyle's Election Autopsy will be available from 17 May and will be similar to his satirical analysis of last year's Scottish referendum. The BBC said the show, to be recorded at Wilton's Music Hall in London, would see the comedian make "bold and often outrageous statements about the vote". Matt Berry and Jo Brand will also appear in upcoming iPlayer commissions. The former will kick off in a new topical comedy series with an "anthropologic look" at the Oxford v Cambridge boat race, available on the iPlayer from 5 April. The latter, meanwhile, will present a "private view" of Grayson Perry's upcoming new exhibition at the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate, available from 23 May. Prime Minister Theresa May said the UK would start the process of leaving the European Union next Wednesday. The announcement will set in place a two-year negotiation process. But Michael Russell, who is leading the Scottish government's Brexit talks with Westminster, said he only found out the date when it was reported by the BBC. Mrs May had previously said that Article 50 would be triggered by the end of March, but the exact date was only confirmed on Monday. Mr Russell, who is a member of the Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC) on EU negotiations, tweeted: "Thank you @BBCNews for letting JMC members like me know that #Article50 is to be triggered next week". He added that the UK government "somehow forgot to inform us". Fiona Hyslop, the Scottish government's external affairs secretary, also said she had not been informed about the Article 50 date. A spokesman for First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "The fact the UK government failed to properly and fully inform all of the devolved administrations on the plans for triggering Article 50 speaks volumes - and totally exposes as empty rhetoric Westminster's language about equal partnership." Mrs May said she had discussed the Article 50 notification with Welsh First Minister Carwyn Jones during a visit to Swansea on Monday morning. She told S4C: "We have been talking with the Welsh government for the past few months and with the other devolved administrations about the process, about the timetable. "I have always said it would be before the end of March and we will continue talking to them." Asked later why Mrs May had not informed the Scottish government before announcing the Article 50 date, the prime minister's official spokesman said: "What we have done today is set out the date when we are triggering Article 50. "As the PM has said, there will be opportunities between now and the actual triggering for more discussions with the devolved nations." Scottish Conservative MSP John Lamont said the SNP was guilty of finding "any excuse to complain about a perceived slight". He added: "It is only a week since Nicola Sturgeon announced her plans for an unwanted, divisive second referendum out of the blue with no prior notice to anyone." Britain's ambassador to the EU, Sir Tim Barrow, informed the office of European Council president Donald Tusk on Monday morning of the prime minister's plans. It means the UK is expected to leave the EU on 29 March 2019. The announcement comes amid increasing tension between Edinburgh and London over Brexit after Scotland's first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, announced plans to seek to hold a second independence referendum in the wake of the Brexit vote. Scottish government ministers insist the result gives them a "cast-iron mandate" to stage a second independence referendum. That is based on the party's manifesto for the 2016 Holyrood elections stating that the referendum should be held if there was a "material change in circumstances" from the 2014 ballot, citing the example of Scotland being removed from the EU against its wishes. Scotland voted by 62% to 38% in favour of the UK retaining its membership of the EU. The UK as a whole backed Leave by 52% to 48%. A majority of MSPs are expected to support Ms Sturgeon's call for a fresh referendum to be held in a vote at Holyrood on Wednesday - which will see her government formally request a section 30 order from Westminster, enabling a legally binding referendum to take place. However, Mrs May has already said "now is not the time" for another ballot on the future of the UK to be held. And Scottish Secretary David Mundell has insisted that the UK government "will not be entering into discussions or negotiations about a Section 30 agreement" and that any request "at this time" will be declined. Judges are now required to give special information to jurors in some trials, including that many victims of rape or sexual assault "freeze" rather than fight back. The move is designed to challenge any pre-conceived notions jurors may have about how a person should react when they are a victim of a sexual offence. Rape Crisis Scotland welcomed the move. Sandy Brindley, co-ordinator for the organisation, said: "Survivors often tell us that during a rape they froze and were unable to fight back or scream. "This is a completely natural and common reaction, but not always one that members of the public will necessarily be aware of. "We welcome the introduction of jury directions in rape cases as a significant step forward. "Providing jury members with factual information on different reactions to rape should help to ensure that verdicts in sexual offence cases are based on the evidence presented rather than being influenced by assumptions about how rape victims should react." Under the new laws, judges will give special information to juries in certain sexual offence trials, including where there is a delay in the victim reporting the crime, where there is no evidence of physical resistance by the victim and where the perpetrator has not used physical force. The Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016 also sees the introduction of a new statutory aggravation which means courts will be required to take into account whether or not an offence involved abuse of a partner or ex-partner. The act further introduces an extension of the law concerning certain sexual offences committed against children, to allow for prosecution in Scottish courts of offences committed elsewhere in the UK. The change is aimed at reducing the potential trauma for victims who might otherwise face more than one trial. Powers to protect victims from further harassment are also being extended by allowing a criminal non-harassment order to be imposed in a wider range of circumstances. Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "Abusive behaviour and sexual harm will not be tolerated in Scotland. "Tackling these crimes requires a bold response and speedy and effective enforcement, which is why we have introduced new laws to improve the way our justice system responds. "By continuing to modernise the law we can support victims in accessing justice and ensure perpetrators are properly held to account for their actions." Second seed Murray came from a break down in the final set to win 7-6 (9-7) 3-6 6-3 in two hours and 38 minutes. "It was a tough match," said the Scot, 28, who plays David Ferrer in his semi-final after the Spaniard beat American John Isner 6-3 6-7 (6-8) 6-2. World number one Novak Djokovic saw off Tomas Berdych 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (10-8). Murray faces a challenging end to the season, with the ATP Finals in London only nine days away, followed by Britain's first Davis Cup final since 1978, which gets under way in Belgium in three weeks' time. Murray had lost just four games in winning his opening two matches in Paris, but was given a far sterner test by Gasquet - and it took its toll. "I got a little stiff in my lower back," the Briton said afterwards. Murray had toyed with the idea of skipping the ATP Finals - and risking the wrath of the governing body - in order to arrive in Belgium fresh for the Davis Cup final, his primary focus for the rest of the season. However, that scenario appears less likely now and, asked if his back was a concern, Murray told Sky Sports: "I don't think so. I was moving well, it was just on the serve it gave me a little bit of trouble. That can happen, it's a long season. "After a couple of weeks it's maybe normal to feel a little bit stiff and sore and maybe it's a good thing, to get that out of my system. "The crowd was behind him and it was perfect preparation for the Davis Cup, in an atmosphere like that." Murray's immediate focus remains the Paris Masters, and a real chance to make an impact at a tournament which has yet to see the best of him. Gasquet had inflicted one of five previous quarter-final defeats on Murray, back in 2007, and the 29-year-old played well enough to threaten a repeat on Friday. In a high-quality match, Murray edged the first set in a tie-break but made little impact on the Gasquet serve in the second, the Frenchman taking it thanks to one break. When he moved a break up early in the third it appeared that Gasquet was on course to claim his first win over Murray since 2012, but the Scot hit back immediately and made the decisive breakthrough with a drop shot at 4-3. Defending champion Djokovic saved set points in both sets to claim his 20th consecutive win and remained on course for an unprecedented third Paris Masters title in a row. The 28-year-old top-ranked Serb secured a hard-fought victory in two hours seven minutes and in the semi-finals will play Stanislas Wawrinka who defeated Rafael Nadal of Spain 7-6 (8-6) 7-6 (7-5). It was a third win in four matches for the Swiss after he lost the first 12 matches between the pair. The Roses were comprehensively beaten 61-37 by the Silver Ferns on Thursday. Agbeze, 34, says England need to "focus on themselves" and cut out the "silly errors" when they meet the world champions at Wembley Arena on Sunday. "New Zealand played well, but we beat ourselves," said Agbeze. "We are eager to see if we can finish on a high." Media playback is not supported on this device England beat South Africa 60-55 in their opening match, but struggled against the physicality of New Zealand, who converted 61 of their 66 shots compared to the hosts' 37 from 49. "There was a heavy mood after the New Zealand game," Agbeze told BBC Sport. "We need to execute our gameplan. There were silly errors and we did not capitalise on the possession we had." Sunday's game, which is live on BBC Two from 13:00 GMT, is England's last until the summer. "We need to play well, irrespective of how they do," said Agbeze. "We have the ability to beat them, but it depends on if we can consistently do the necessary things. "We need to focus on ourselves, be patient and calm and build consistency." 26 June 2017 Last updated at 08:19 BST The cheeky animal interrupted a match in Cheshire over the weekend.

When supplies were plentiful, almost twice as many nuts were buried, increasing the chance of successful germination, the team added. The findings appear in the Journal of Tropical Ecology. The scientists from Norway, Brazil and the UK said that very little was know about the fate of Brazil nuts under natural condition, despite it being one of the most economically important non-timber crops to come out of Amazonia. In order to get a better understanding of how the seeds were dispersed, they tracked 1,800 marked seeds to see how seasonal food availability affected agoutis' and acouchis' - large scatter-hoarding rodents - caching rates, dispersal distances and how long the seeds were buried before being eaten. "We basically found that the seasons had a very strong effect on the dispersal distances and what happened to the seeds themselves," explained Torbjorn Haugaasen, an ecologist at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. "During the wet season (April) - when there are a lot of other fruits in the forest - more seeds were cached for later retrieval," he added. "In the dry season (September), on the other hand, more seeds were eaten immediately because there was not that much food around and the rodents needed to draw on the food resource. "Seeds were also taken further away during the dry season, which suggests that the rodents saw them as a more valuable resource than during the wet season," Dr Haugaasen told BBC News. The field study, carried out during 2006, showed that 74.4% of seeds were buried during the wet season, compared with just 38.2% during the dry season. The team suggested that collecting too many Brazil nuts from an area could replicate "dry season" conditions for the rodents. "Reduced seed availability due to intensive harvesting could potentially create a dry-season scenario where most seeds succumb to pre-dispersal predation, thereby adversely affecting the natural regeneration of Brazil nut trees," they wrote. The researchers said that populations of two large rodent species were responsible for the dispersal of the Brazil nut tree seeds: agoutis and acuchis. However, they added, only the agoutis were capable of gnawing through the hard, thick outer casing of the fruit and releasing the seeds (Brazil nuts). Agoutis, which can weigh up to 6kg, are found throughout the same range as the Brazil nut trees in South America. "The (trees) therefore rely almost entirely on these large terrestrial rodents for the release of their well-protected seeds," the team explained. "Those seeds not consumed within the germination period (12-18 months) may germinate, and seeds may remain viable for at least six years." Scatter-hoarding also benefits plants in a number of ways, such as transporting seeds away from the parent plants and increasing the probability of reaching a site more suitable for germination. Dr Haugaasen explained that the team decided to carry out the study in order to build on the findings of a 2003 paper published in Science, which first identified the link between intensive harvesting and the lack of young Brazil nut trees. Writing in the 2003 paper, researchers said: "Persistently harvested stands were characterised by larger (and presumably older) trees and few or no juveniles. But, they observed: "Juveniles were most common in unharvested and lightly harvested stands." However, Dr Haugaasen said, the people harvesting the nuts could unknowingly be contributing to the regeneration of the trees, as some nuts were accidentally dropped as they were carried out of the forest. "We actually found seedlings along the path used by the collectors. However, this does not mean that they are all going to reach maturity because they are in (vulnerable) places." But he warned that restricting nut collecting could prove to be counterproductive because the harvests were a key source of income for local communities. "Alternative possibilities, such as managed planting of seedlings in natural gaps in the forest might be a better solution," he suggested. Dr Haugaasen said that the next step for the researchers was to look at the "management implications" of their findings. "We also need to know how the hunting of these rodents can effect the natural regeneration of these trees," he added. "You can have a negative impact by reducing the number of these rodents. "However, if you have a large number of seeds already buried by a rodent before it is shot, other agoutis or seed-eaters will not know where those seeds are located. "The seeds may therefore have a higher chance of survival, which could arguably have a positive impact on regeneration." Further studies on the ecology of Brazil nut trees are expected to be published in the coming 12 months.

He was found on the pavement by an ambulance crew after an anonymous call and was taken to Leeds General Infirmary with a fractured skull. He died two days later. The men went to "homosexual parties" together and were "hunters" of young men, declassified MI5 files claim. Allegations in 1964 about the pair's relationship caused such concern within Downing Street that the then head of MI5 was summoned to the Home Office. The government feared a scandal greater than the so-called Profumo Affair. Rumours that notorious gangster Kray and Lord Boothby - a popular TV presenter and former MP for East Aberdeenshire - were having an affair were published in 1964. 'Drunken' spies defections shook US confidence Frogman files reveal "Buster" Crabb blunders The Sunday Mirror - which did not name the pair - claimed to have a photo of Kray and Boothby together with the bisexual peer's chauffeur and lover, Leslie Holt. The men were later identified in a German magazine. Lord Boothby publicly denied having a homosexual or any other close relationship with Kray. At the time, he said the photograph showed them discussing "business matters", dismissing rumours about his personal life as a "tissue of atrocious lies". The Sunday Mirror ended up paying £40,000 in damages to Boothby. But the papers - released as part of 400 declassified files by the Security Service (MI5), Foreign Office and Cabinet Office - reveal new information about their association. They show how home secretary Henry Brooke was so concerned about the matter he summoned the head of MI5, Sir Roger Hollis, to ask what the security services knew. Brooke feared the allegations might erupt into a scandal to rival the Profumo affair, which helped to bring down the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan. Sir Roger told the home secretary how MI5 had received reports that Lord Boothby was bisexual and had contacts with the Krays. But, since he had no access to official secrets, MI5 concluded that Boothby's private life was of no concern, the papers reveal. According to an MI5 source, Lord Boothby was in a relationship with Holt - his chauffer and ex-boxer who also went by the name Johnny Kidd. Holt told the source how Lord Boothby and Kray had "been to a couple of (homosexual) parties together". The report suggested the Sunday Mirror was tipped off about the "affair" between Lord Boothby and Kray by the rival Nash gang. The MI5 report said: "Certainly the suggestion that Boothby has been having an affair with the gangster Kray is hardly true." Dr Richard Dunley, records specialist at the National Archives, said the story was "one of the greatest scandals that never was". "If this had come out in 1964 it would have been a huge scandal," he said. Dr Dunley said the files do not mention well-known claims that Lord Boothby had a long-term relationship with former prime minister Harold Macmillian's wife. "As tabloid headlines go, you can imagine what would have happened," he said. "The Mirror did effectively get hold of the story but couldn't publish it, they got sued for libel." The Australian actress will play scientist Rosalind Franklin in the UK premiere of Photograph 51, directed by Michael Grandage. The play, by Anna Ziegler, will open at the Noel Coward Theatre on 14 September and run until 21 November. Kidman's work in The Blue Room at the Donmar Warehouse in 1998 was famously described as "pure theatrical Viagra". In Photograph 51, Kidman will portray British scientist Rosalind Franklin, the only woman involved in the discovery of DNA's double helix in 1953. Her name was left out of the history books and she only received recognition years after her death. The production will reunite Kidman with Grandage, with whom she recently collaborated on the feature film Genius. It marks the return of Grandage's company to the West End, following an acclaimed run in 2013 and 2014 that saw Jude Law play Henry V and Daniel Radcliffe appear in The Cripple of Inishmaan. 'Nervous' In 2001 Kidman spoke to the BBC of her desire to return to the London stage, calling The Blue Room "the best experience I've ever had". But she admitted then that she was "nervous to come back as there will be such expectation". Kidman received rave reviews for her role in The Blue Room alongside co-star Iain Glen. The pair were the only people on stage in an erotic comedy - written by Sir David Hare and directed by Sam Mendes - that saw both stars appear naked during the performance. Last year Kidman told the Daily Mail she was in discussions to appear in two plays in London, with one reported to be Turgenev's A Month in the Country. "I'm determined to make at least one of the proposals work," she said. "Who knows? Both of the proposals might come together." Emergency services were called to the scene on Govan Road, outside Govan Cross Shopping Centre, at about 13:25. A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said the woman was taken to hospital by ambulance. No information has been released on the woman's condition. Police said inquiries into the crash were continuing. Rangers' 2-0 win at Hibs means Robbie Neilson's men, 23 points ahead, cannot be caught by the chasing pack. Neilson had stated his preference for his side to secure the title in front of a home crowd at Tynecastle. Hearts tweeted: "Championees you beauty. Congratulations to everyone connected with the club, especially our fans #wedidittogether" The Edinburgh club have lost only one of their 29 league games this season and, speaking before clinching the title, Neilson said his players were prepared to work hard for their success. "As a coach, you just want guys who are prepared to work hard to make the best of their ability, and we definitely have that," he told his club website. "All the coaches and I can do is prepare training, and hope the boys buy into it, which they all have done. "Even when we've won the league, it's important that we continue to win games. We have to play Hibs and Rangers, and it's vital for us to beat these sides. "Our mindset is that we must win every game, a club of this stature must not accept less." The US rock band had to pull out of their headline slot after Dave Grohl fractured his leg in a stage fall. It's not the first time the festival has had to book a last minute replacement - U2, the Stone Roses and Kylie Minogue have all cancelled appearances due to illness or injury. It's almost as if the Pyramid Stage is cursed... But who is likely to step in for the Foo Fighters on 26 June? Already on the bill, and basking in the afterglow of their third number one album, Florence and the Machine are the most likely choice. Proven festival headliners with a set of earthy, mystical songs they fit neatly with the Glastonbury ethos. Hits like Kiss With A Fist and Shake It Up will sound perfect as the sun sets in Somerset, and their promotion up the bill would help settle a gender imbalance. But singer Florence Welch should be wary of the curse of the Pyramid Stage - she broke her foot while playing Coachella in April. Never bad at Glastonbury, the Britpop survivors played the gig of their lifetime at the 2009 festival. The set was so emotional, Damon Albarn even broke into tears after To The End. A brilliant new album, The Magic Whip, would stop a 2015 set being a repeat performance with songs like Ong Ong and Lonesome Street going down particularly well at the Isle of Wight Festival last weekend. Albarn also has form in helping Glastonbury out of a crisis - he brought his animated hip-hop collective Gorillaz to the main stage when U2 dropped out in 2010. Although it was a poorly received set. A natural substitute for the hard-rocking riffage of the Foo Fighters, AC/DC were widely rumoured to be in the frame for Glastonbury earlier this year. But the band poured cold water on the story, with frontman Brian Johnson describing the festival as "wellies and corporate". But after hearing Metallica had played in 2014, their attitude softened. "If they ask… OK," said guitarist Angus Young. Detractors say the band has been writing the same exact song over and over for years - but it's a pretty good song, and Glastonbury would be a perfect place to air Highway to Hell and Back in Black. Luckily, they're between dates on their European tour on 26 June. Emily Eavis probably has Chris Martin on speed dial. The band are a reliable Glastonbury stalwart, with anthems aplenty. Glastonbury also gave the band a considerable leg up in 2005, when they were booked to lead the Pyramid Stage while still relatively untested. Nevertheless, they were the talk of the festival afterwards, thanks to a particularly heartfelt rendition of The Scientist. A headline slot would give fans a rare chance to hear last year's well-received Ghost Stories album live - the group only played two UK dates on their brief world tour. But they might want to hold fire until next year. Chris Martin has hinted the band's seventh studio album could be their swansong. Assuming Dave Grohl, the nicest man in rock, doesn't want to leave Glastonbury in the lurch, he could put in a call to his good friends Queens of the Stone Age. Josh Homme's band played a blistering headline set on Glastonbury's Other Stage in 2013, drawing a sizeable crowd despite being scheduled against Beyonce. They're currently in the recording studio, but have scheduled to play Rock in Rio this September, which means they could be battle ready. A popular suggestion on social media, Swift is certainly riding a wave this year, thanks to the unassailable pop of her new album 1989. Handily, she's in the UK next week and has Friday night off before playing the BST festival in Hyde Park the following day. But it's been a long time since Glastonbury booked such an unashamedly commercial act as its headliner - and while the crowd would undoubtedly lap up Shake It Off and Blank Space, they might find the country elements of her set unpalatable. Maybe she could win the crowd over with a headbanging cover the Foo Fighters' Best of You? Every year, a rumour sweeps around Glastonbury that Daft Punk are "definitely" playing a secret set over the weekend. Why should this year be any different? See above. He's been listed as a potential headliner for years, and at one point looked set to sign up for 2015. For whatever reason, negotiations fell apart but a last-minute booking would suit the star's hit-and-run philosophy. If the Minneapolis musician did pop, it would undoubtedly go down as one of Glastonbury's legendary performances. He's at the top of his game, thanks to his muscular, perfectly-drilled new band 3rd Eye Girl - and, as he's fond of telling audiences: "I got so many hits we don't have time to play 'em all." But even just the staples of his set - Raspberry Beret, Purple Rain, Let's Go Crazy, Kiss, Little Red Corvette - would be the envy of any headliner. The Chain, Don't Stop, Tusk, Black Magic Woman - Fleetwood Mac have no shortage of hits to supply to the Pyramid Stage. But, it seems, they're not that keen on travelling down to Somerset. Their Isle Of Wight set last weekend was billed as a "worldwide festival exclusive", and organiser John Giddings claimed Glastonbury bosses were green with envy. "Michael Eavis said, 'How did you get Fleetwood Mac?' I said, 'I paid them!'" he told Music Week. If the band were to capitulate, though, they'd have to cancel or postpone a show at London's O2 Arena, which is booked for the same night. Muse last headlined Glastonbury in 2010, welcoming The Edge on stage in the year that U2 were forced to pull out. Their star has waned in the intervening years (with the critics, at least) but they are still a thrilling, compelling live act. On their new album, Drones, they've ditched the frilly faux-operatics of their more recent work in favour of proto-metal riffs and Matt Bellamy's soaring vocals. The opportunity to hear Knights of Cydonia charging over the fields of Worthy Farm again is not one to be be missed - but there's one small problem. They're already headlining the Bravalla Festival in Sweden that night. End of Instagram post by isolatedheroes Have a few drinks and, before you know it, you're puffing away again. Now it seems ex-Prime Minister David Cameron - who has previously spoken of his battle to give up nicotine - is also no stranger to this predicament. In a snap from the weekend's Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire, Mr Cameron was photographed by art consultant Lucy Edwards holding a drink and a cigarette. Back in 2011, Mr Cameron described himself as a "former smoker" at Prime Minister's Questions when responding to a question about a ban in cars when children were present. Four years later, he spoke in the Commons about his "relatively successful" battle to give up smoking. He was responding to a question about e-cigarettes and whether he could highlight the role they play in helping people give up smoking. Mr Cameron said: "Certainly as somebody who has been through this battle a number of times, eventually relatively successfully, lots of people find different ways of doing it and certainly for some people e-cigarettes are successful." Two years on and now out of the public eye, it seems Mr Cameron has turned to tobacco once again. Deborah Arnott, chief executive of charity ASH (action on smoking and health), said: "Quitting smoking can be difficult but getting the right support throughout the process makes quit attempts much more likely to succeed. "It's vital that smoking cessation services are properly funded and available to all who need them, whether plumber or former prime minister." But Mr Cameron is far from being the only politician who has talked about smoking or their struggle to give up. In 2010, then Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg confessed to being a secret smoker. On BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, the Liberal Democrat leader said his luxury item, if stranded alone on an island, would be a "stash of cigarettes". And former US President Barack Obama started smoking as a teenager but promised his wife he would give up if she would allow him to run for president. "Look, I've said before that as a former smoker I constantly struggle with it," Mr Obama told reporters in 2009. "Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No. I don't do it in front of my kids. I don't do it in front of my family. And, you know, I would say that I am 95% cured." Mr Obama has acknowledged using nicotine gum. And in 2013, he was quoted as saying he hadn't had a cigarette in six years. "That's because I'm scared of my wife," he added. Maybe he could give Mr Cameron some tips. NHS Choices: Tips to stop smoking Having banked the biggest cheque of his career as Scottish open runner-up, a tie for fifth at the Open at Royal Troon earned him a further £235,557. He now heads for Springfield, New Jersey for the US PGA in 10 days' time. Hatton admits he still needs to work on keeping a cool head, saying: "It's something I needed to get better at and I'm slowly getting there." His finish at Troon was the best by an Englishman at the Open since Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood tied for third behind Phil Mickelson at Muirfield three years ago. He acknowledges, however, that his emotions can still get the better of him on the course. "The fire is still burning inside and I'll show that from time to time," said 24-year-old Hatton, from Marlow, who plays at Harleyford. "I try my best not to, but I'm only human, and I'm going to make mistakes every now and then. "I'm so passionate about wanting to do well, and sometimes that just overspills." As well as the support of his father, who is his coach, this year's change of caddie, when he brought in the calming influence of a new bagman in Chris Rice, has been a big factor. "We started working together at the beginning of this year, and it's been a great year for me so far," added Hatton, who has risen a further 13 places to 55th in the world rankings. "We make a good team. He's helped me a lot." As well as earning 429,468 Euros at Castle Stuart, prior to moving on to Troon, he also secured a place in the field for the USPGA for the second year running, giving him a chance to build on last year's tie for 25th at Whistling Straits. "I can't wait," Hatton told BBC Sport. "I really enjoyed my time at Whistling Straits. I'm going to enjoy a week off to get ready for a return to the States. "I got a lot of confidence from last week and I took it into the Open and it's great that I now don't have to try and qualify again (following his Top 10 finish) for Royal Birkdale next year." Hatton's surge in form also means he is now within reach of a Ryder Cup place, but after the USPGA his main interest is the holiday he has planned afterwards in New York with his girlfriend. Aside from a double bogey on the par-five 4th on the second day, Hatton only dropped four other shots all week at Troon, fewer than champion Henrik Stenson. "My best performances are on links courses," points out Hatton, who had not previously made the Open cut in four attempts. "I played a lot of links as an amateur. When conditions get tough, I can grind out a decent score and thankfully my short game helped me out and was the reason why I finished as well as I have. "I holed a lot of putts out there. That was the only downside from the previous three rounds but this time the big thing was the par putts I holed. "I holed a really good par putt on the eighth after pulling it left into the bunker. Then I holed a really good par putt again on nine, and that sort of just kept the momentum going. The only blip was on 11, but that was the hardest hole on the course."

Lawyers said Chris Gard and Connie Yates want to spend the "maximum amount of time they have left with Charlie". The couple ended the case after a US doctor told them it was now too late to treat Charlie's rare genetic condition. Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) has not said when life support will end. However, Mr Gard and Ms Yates, from Bedfont, west London, said Charlie would not reach his first birthday on 4 August. In its statement to the High Court, the hospital said it was "increasingly surprised and disappointed" the US doctor, Professor Michio Hirano, "had not read Charlie's contemporaneous medical records or viewed Charlie's brain imaging or read all of the second opinions about Charlie's condition". GOSH said Professor Hirano had not taken the opportunity to see Charlie until last week, despite being offered the chance to do so by the hospital in January. Even though the professor gave written evidence at all the court cases, the hospital said it only emerged last week that he had not read the judge's ruling following the first High Court hearing in April. The hospital added it was concerned to hear the professor state in the witness box at the High Court hearing on 13 July that he had a financial interest in some of the treatment he proposed prescribing for Charlie. Charlie has encephalomyopathic mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. He has brain damage and cannot move his arms or legs. His parents had asked Mr Justice Francis to rule that their son should be allowed to undergo a trial of nucleoside therapy in New York, a move opposed by London's Great Ormond Street Hospital, which argued it would be "futile". The Family Division of the High Court heard on Monday that US neurologist Dr Michio Hirano was no longer willing to offer the experimental therapy after he had seen the results of a new MRI scan last week. Speaking outside court, Mr Gard said: "We are now going to spend our last precious moments with our son Charlie, who unfortunately won't make his first birthday in just under two weeks' time. "Mummy and Daddy love you so much Charlie, we always have and we always will and we are so sorry that we couldn't save you." Mr Justice Francis said he hoped lessons could be learned from the "tragic" case. He has suggested that parents and hospital bosses who disagree over life-or-death treatment for children should be forced to mediate in a bid to avoid litigation. "I recognise, of course, that negotiating issues such as the life or death of a child seems impossible and often will be," he said. "However, it is my clear view that mediation should be attempted in all cases such as this one, even if all that it does is achieve a greater understanding by the parties of each other's positions." Mr Gard's and Ms Yates's five-month legal battle started after doctors at Great Ormond Street had said the therapy would not help and that life-support treatment should stop. They subsequently failed to overturn rulings in the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court in London, and also failed to persuade judges at the European Court of Human Rights to intervene. The couple made the "most painful of decisions" on Monday after reviewing new scan results which showed Charlie had deteriorated to the "point of no return". In a statement, Great Ormond Street said: "The agony, desolation and bravery of their decision command GOSH's utmost respect and humble all who work there." Mr Gard and Ms Yates hope to establish a foundation to ensure Charlie's voice "continues to be heard". They had raised more than £1.3m for the treatment in the US. Timeline of legal battle He was being investigated for gross negligence manslaughter and misconduct in a public office over Andrew Pimlott's death in Plymouth last year. Mr Pimlott, 32, who had poured petrol over himself, appeared to being holding a lit match at the time he was Tasered. There was "insufficient evidence" to prosecute the officer, the CPS said. He still faces police disciplinary action. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said there was a case to answer for gross misconduct. If this was proved, the officer would lose his job. IPCC associate commissioner Tom Milsom said: "This has been a complex investigation. "We felt there was sufficient evidence to refer a file to the CPS but, in light of their decision, we have informed Mr Pimlott's family of our findings." Sally Walsh, of the CPS special crime division, said: "Whilst we cannot know whether Mr Pimlott intended to set himself alight, seeing him douse himself in petrol and holding what appeared to be a lighted match, it was reasonable for the officer to conclude that he intended to. "It appears from the evidence that the officer did the best he could in what were clearly very difficult circumstances and that he was faced with a choice of either standing back to allow Mr Pimlott to set himself alight or taking the somewhat lesser risk of applying the Taser in an effort to stop him doing so. "We have advised the IPCC that no further criminal action should be taken." Two Devon and Cornwall officers were called to the house at about 21:00 BST on 18 April 2013 after reports from a member of the public about a man with a can of flammable liquid. The IPCC said a Taser, which delivers a 50,000-volt electrical charge into targets to incapacitate them, was fired during the incident. Mr Pimlott died in hospital five days later. Nigel Rabbitts, chair of Devon and Cornwall Police Federation, said: "Every police officer has to make split decisions. It's always better to do something, than nothing." Devon and Cornwall Police said it would "progress an internal disciplinary procedure". The vote was aimed at ending months of political deadlock but was boycotted by opposition parties. Pavel Filip, from the main pro-European coalition, has been appointed prime minister. The previous government of the former Soviet republic was dismissed by lawmakers in October amid a corruption scandal. Thousands of people had gathered outside parliament in the capital, Chisinau, against the appointment of Mr Filip, a former technology minister. The anti-government camp includes two pro-Moscow groups and one pro-European group. A group of protesters broke police lines and forced their way into the building, local media reported. Tear gas was reportedly used and policemen were seen wearing gas masks. It was not clear if there were any injured. The protesters chanted "Cancel the vote!" and "Thieves", the AP news agency reported, and demanded early elections. Protesters say that the new prime minister has close links to Vladimir Plahotniuc, one of the most powerful businessmen in Moldova. President Nicolae Timofti last week refused to nominate Mr Plahotniuc for the post of prime minister and Mr Filip's opponents say he will now just be a proxy for vested business interests. For his part, Mr Filip has pledged to form closer ties with the European Union. Moldova is one of Europe's poorest countries and has been locked in political turmoil since the disappearance of some $1bn (£710m) from the banking system in 2014. The missing money is equivalent to an eighth of the ex-Soviet republic's entire GDP. The scandal caused a rapid fall in the value of the national currency, the leu, hitting Moldovans' living standards. Through his black-and-white photographs, he captured the world around him, primarily in his native France, and was one of a handful of photographers who helped define what is now called street photography. Yet until his 60s he was unknown, simply taking pictures for his own pleasure. His affluent background allowed him to pursue his hobbies and indulge his passion for motorcars and sport, recording the modern age with his camera. His photographs exude an air of freedom and are seemingly composed with little effort, each frame spontaneously conveying the emotion of the moment. It was 1963 when Lartigue's work was seen by John Szarkowski, curator of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, who offered him a solo exhibition on the spot, propelling his work to the highest level. Yet his colour photography is virtually unknown, save for a few autochromes exhibited alongside his more familiar work. Lartigue was undeniably a fan of experimentation with the camera - a pioneer who used the camera to record life as he felt it, not just as a reflection of itself. He was also a painter, so his adoption of colour photography should not be a surprise. Yet the early process had its limitations. He shot colour pictures from 1912-27 before abandoning it due to the bulk of the equipment required at that time and because the process was too slow to record a spontaneous moment. But by the 1950s, those limitations had long since passed, and his Rolleiflex and Leica were no strangers to colour film. He wrote at the time: "How can one not be moved by the harmony of colours nature offers us? "As long as neither is too harsh nor too sharp, colour photography seems to me, because of a certain blurriness, to best be able to express charm and poetry - a poetry that can very well accommodate a touch of humour." His love of colour was years ahead of its time, as it was not until the mid-1970s that colour photography began to make inroads in to the serious art market. In 1979, Lartigue donated his entire photographic collection to the French state. He died in Nice in 1986, leaving behind more than 100,000 photographs, 7,000 diary pages and 1,500 paintings.

Media playback is not supported on this device The 15-year-old from Pontypool, British all-around junior champion, is one of 39 young athletes and coaches who will experience the Olympic environment. Methuen hopes it will stand her in good stead as she targets future Games. "It's going to really prepare me for further down the line, so you know what's coming the next time," she said. "It's absolutely amazing going to Rio, I can't wait. I know some of the gymnasts going already and I just can't wait to be there supporting them and cheering them on. "It's to get the experience, to know what's happening and to see all the different sports. I'm not just going there to see gymnastics, I'm going to see rugby which is completely different to gymnastics! "We're going there to see what the atmosphere is like." No Welsh gymnasts have been selected for Rio, so Methuen has a unique opportunity to get a taste of the Olympics as part of the BOA's "ambition programme". The scheme, which was first launched for Beijing 2008, is designed to replicate a first Games experience for young British athletes and coaches. They will visit the facilities at Team GB's preparation camp in Belo Horizonte before flying to Rio to visit the Olympic Village, as well as seeing Team GB in action. Of the 105 athletes on the Beijing 2008 programme, 43 went on to compete at London 2012. While acknowledging that Tokyo 2020 is a long-term aim, Methuen hopes to first earn a place at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia. "I'd love to go there, that's one of my main aims," she said. "I can't wait to go there because instead of competing for Great Britain, I'd be competing for Wales." Methuen says being selected for the BOA's programme gives her added confidence and motivation as she builds for the future, with Welsh Gymnastics chief executive Rhian Gibson tipping her to make it to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. "It's good that they believe in me and they know that I can do it," said Methuen. "Being selected for this is amazing and has made me push even harder." Teenager Methuen lives in Cardiff with eight other gymnasts after moving away from Pontypool to pursue her ambitions. "We've got this house in Cardiff, it's like five minutes away from my gym which is really good, instead of an hour [from where I used to live]," she said. "We all have fun and it's nice, we're all in it together and we can all push ourselves. "I'm not really away from my mum because I only stay there at night so then I come to gym and then my mum picks me up from gym to take me back to my school." Methuen was part of Great Britain's junior women's team at the European Championships in Switzerland earlier this summer and says one of the challenges she faces is keeping up with her school work when she is competing. "When I did the Europeans I had three weeks out, so it was quite hard then, but now I've all caught up," she said. "My school is behind me, they always make sure I've got work when I go away so it's actually quite easy for me to catch up." With Alex Revell on loan at Wigan and Idriss Saadi out with a hamstring injury, Slade is "confident" of boosting his striker resources. Slade has also set his sights on two more recruits in January as the club targets a Championship play-off finish. "If we possibly can, we will look to strengthen," Slade said. "The important thing is between now and that window is to maintain some momentum that keeps us right in the hunt for promotion.'' Slade is already looking to the January transfer window to bolster his resources to sustain a play-off challenge, with his side currently seventh in the Championship. "From my point of view it's always been a top-six finish and the players have definitely been buying into that," he added. "If we can find the right couple of players and get the support in January that can add to that and keep us in there, we will do so. "We talk openly about what we need with the owner [Vincent Tan] and the chief executive Ken Choo going into the January window. "You never stop building your list between window to window." Slade confirmed striker Kenwyne Jones will be in the squad for Saturday's game at fifth-placed Derby County, The 31-year-old's fitness will be assessed on his return from international duty with Trinidad and Tobago. Midfielder Peter Whittingham returns from a one match ban, while Kigasho Dikgacoi is back from a hamstring injury. Fellow midfielder Joe Ralls will play against Derby having signed a contract extension and Slade believes it will be good business for Cardiff. "I still think there is so much more to come from Joe," Slade said. "There is more progress and improvement to come because he is still young and at a great age. "Therefore providing he keeps his feet on the ground and is willing to learn, which he is, his value will continue to go up." The organisation, which represents walkers, says it is concerned that some paths are in a bad condition. It is asking people to use a mobile phone app to record problems found on rights of way, such as blockages or fallen trees, and send them in. The Big Pathwatch will then allow the Ramblers to protect the path network. There are 140,000 miles of pathways across England and Wales but the Ramblers fear more and more are becoming overgrown, flooded or blocked. More than 86,000 problems were reported on England's paths alone last year, including missing signs and broken gates. Ramblers chief executive Benedict Southworth said the path network was "one of our nation's biggest assets". He said: "We know that there are currently problems on our paths that stop people in their tracks. "We need to find the true extent of the problem and explore how this affects anyone who uses our paths, whether that's on their shortcut to the shops or while they're out enjoying our glorious countryside. "With a 20% cut in the workforce looking after our paths over the last five years, it's no surprise that these problems appear to be mounting and that we've now reached this crisis point." By Justin Parkinson, BBC News It's a beautiful sight. The descent from the South Downs provides views across undulating, geometrically marked wheat fields, fringed by hedgerow and leading on to flatter land stretching tens of miles into the distance. The footpath is fine as you move towards the East Sussex village of Alciston - until, suddenly, it's not. The path becomes overgrown. A small fallen tree blocks the way to the less agile walker. Parts are crumbly underfoot. Then, 100m or so further down, it's absolutely fine again.

They are then asked to use the app to upload information about the paths - those without smartphones can log the data on the Ramblers website instead. The results of the survey will lead to a report on the state of the paths of England and Wales by the Ramblers - who say they are "guardians of the footpath network". Path maintenance teams from the Ramblers will also fix problems reported to them where possible, the organisation said. It said anyone undertaking practical work to open up a public path must have the permission of both the local authority and the landowner concerned. The survey closes at the end of the year with findings to be released in spring 2016. About 50 bikers rode dangerously through the streets on 31 October 2016, bringing a major route through the city to a standstill. Thirteen men and one woman have now all been charged with causing a public nuisance, West Yorkshire Police said. They are due to appear before Leeds Magistrates Court on 4 May, the force added. Live updates and stories from Yorkshire One of the men is also charged with driving while disqualified and without insurance, and another with perverting the course of justice.　 The police investigation came after motorbikes and quad bikes congregated in Kirkstall Road before they were ridden together through Leeds, including through pedestrian areas and shopping arcades. 　 Byrne was at the end of a two-day walking trip with adventure and outdoor writer Phoebe Smith when they came across Josh Bratchley on Tuesday. Mr Bratchley twisted a knee when his right leg went through a snow drift on his way to the remote Corrour Bothy. Byrne gave him his walking poles and accompanied him to another bothy. Mr Bratchley, an experienced mountaineer, said he was grateful for the help. Irish stand-up comedian Byrne and Ms Smith, author of The Book of the Bothy, were in the Cairngorms for an article Byrne is writing for a forthcoming issue of The Great Outdoors Magazine. After the trip, Byrne, whose TV work includes appearances on Mock the Week and Have I Got News For You, tweeted: "Awesome couple of days in Cairngorms. Knocked off three Munros from Corrour Bothy and even helped an injured walker get to safety. Feeling smug." Byrne, a long-time hillwalker who bagged his 80th Munro on his walk in the Cairngorms, told BBC Scotland News: "It's not a tale of derring-do and hanging off the end of ropes. "I helped Josh by carrying his rucksack which, to be fair to him, was heavy with the amount of provisions he was carrying for his own trip. "I gave him my lighter sack." Mr Bratchley was carrying enough wood and coal for an overnight stay at Corrour Bothy, and to leave behind for others who would be using the shelter after him. He said: "My foot went through the hard surface of a snow drift and into the soft snow below and my leg got stuck. Because of the rucksack I lost my balance." Byrne and Ms Smith, who were passing, asked if he was "okay". At first, Mr Bratchley had felt little pain and thought he could carry on to Corrour Bothy, which was a shorter trek than one back to where his car was parked and where he could safely rest before deciding on whether he could walk further. However, his leg became more painful and he decided to catch up with the pair for some company off the hill. He said: "I was hoping the conversation would take my mind off my sore knee. Ed swapped his rucksack for mine. "When I first spoke to Ed I didn't notice who he was. "But after I caught up with him the second time and they had introduced themselves I said to him that he looked familiar and I asked if we had met before in Scotland, or in the Welsh hills where I do a lot of walking. "He then told me I might have seen him on TV and it was after that it clicked who he was." After resting up for a night at Bob Scott's Memorial Bothy, Mr Bratchley was able to get back to his car and home. Following his mishap, doctors have told him he has damaged ligaments and cartilage. Hillwalkers looking after one another was praised by a mountain rescue team in a separate incident earlier this month. Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team congratulated two young mountaineers who saved the life of a hypothermic walker. The pair realised the man, who was walking alone, was in difficulty about two kilometres from the summit of Ben Macdui in the Cairngorms. Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team said they had "virtually carried him for two or three kilometres". Mountain rescuers were then flown in by helicopter to help and the casualty was given medical treatment.

The Republican, who beat Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the election earlier this month, is due to take office on 20 January. Earlier this year, MPs debated the idea of banning Mr Trump from the UK. But the government has stressed the importance of maintaining the "special relationship" between the countries. Prime Minister Theresa May's official spokeswoman said: "An invitation for a state visit is one of the things that is under consideration following the election of a new US president. One of the issues under consideration is the 2017 state visits." State visits are formal trips to the UK by foreign heads of state from overseas. There are normally two a year and invitations are sent on the advice of the Foreign Office. Recent state visits to UK November 2016 - President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia October 2015 - President Xi Jinping of China March 2015 - President Enrique Pena Nieto of Mexico October 2014 - President Tony Tan Keng Yam of Singapore April 2014 - President Michael D. Higgins of Ireland November 2013 - President Park Geun-hye of South Korea The Queen acts as host, with the visitor usually staying either at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle. Visits normally begin with a ceremonial welcome attended by The Queen and other senior members of the Royal Family, while a State Banquet is held in his or her honour. Mr Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama, made a state visit to the UK in 2011. In January, MPs debated whether Mr Trump should be banned from visiting the UK, after 574,000 people signed a petition. This followed his remarks calling for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US. It was argued that his presence would risk "inflaming tensions between vulnerable communities". But opponents of a ban said it would give Mr Trump "the role of martyrdom" and could mean "shutting down an honest debate" on immigration. News of the possible state visit came as Mr Obama - who had his farewell trip to Europe last week - said he would speak out about Mr Trump's presidency if he feels an issue "goes to core questions about our values and our ideals". US presidents tend to avoid criticising predecessors or successors. Mr Obama - who has previously been heavily criticised by Mr Trump and who had questioned his successor's suitability for high office - was clear that he would not weigh in on Mr Trump's decisions while he was still in power. Meanwhile, as the president-elect continues to select his leadership team, he has confirmed he is considering retired Marine Corps Gen James Mattis for the role of defence secretary, calling him "very impressive" in a tweet. He also met former critic Mitt Romney, who is now being considered for secretary of state. Congressman Mike Pompeo has been nominated as CIA director and retired Lt Gen Michael Flynn made national security adviser. Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen - along with manager Jonathan Wild - were among about 1,000 people who put money into schemes purportedly supporting the music industry. But tribunal Judge Colin Bishopp ruled the partnerships had actually been set up for tax avoidance purposes. HM Revenue and Customs said they would not "tolerate abuse of the system". The Take That stars and their manager invested money through a company called Icebreaker. Since March 2010, the four men have been directors of Larkdale LLP - one of 50 partnerships that Icebreaker arranged to harness tax reliefs that the government had intended would support those in creative industries. The tribunal found that shortly after money was put in to Larkdale LLP, it reported huge losses of more than £25m. Those losses could then be offset against tax, reducing the men's tax bills. The BBC's Andrew Verity said that while Barlow, Donald, Owen and Wild could face repaying millions of pounds between them for the tax relief applied to the losses, the exact amount was not known. While tax evasion is illegal, tax avoidance is not a criminal activity, he added. HMRC said that following Judge Bishopp's decision, those involved would receive letters outlining how much tax they had to repay. An HMRC spokesman told the BBC that "anyone using a scheme that HMRC deems to be against the rules owes them money". Judge Bishopp said in his ruling: "The underlying, and fundamental, conclusion we have reached is that the Icebreaker scheme is, and was known and understood by all concerned to be, a tax avoidance scheme." In total, the Icebreaker partnerships generated losses of £336m. HMRC pursued the issue through the courts after the Times newspaper first exposed Icebreaker in 2012. In a statement, they said: "HMRC has put in place generous reliefs to support genuine business investment and our tax reliefs for the creative industries work well, enabling the UK's world-class film, television and video production companies to compete on the global stage. "But we will not tolerate abuse of the system by people trying to dodge their tax obligations. "HMRC will continue to challenge in the courts anyone who engages in tax avoidance schemes... [Such people] risk not only the high cost of these schemes but also lay themselves open to penalties and, potentially, prosecution." The members of the scheme have until 2 July to decide whether they want to appeal. HMRC said it would be seeking payment of the tax in the meantime. The other members of Take That were not involved in the scheme. It comes a week after the LSE confirmed it was in merger talks with Germany's Deutsche Boerse. In a statement, ICE said no approach had been made to the LSE board, and there could be no certainty that an offer would be made. LSE shares jumped 7% on the news. Under UK merger rules, ICE must now make or announce an offer for the LSE no later than 29 March. Last week, the LSE confirmed it was in "detailed discussions" with Deutsche Boerse about a "merger of equals". Both companies said all their key businesses would continue to operate under their current brand names. It is the third time the LSE and Deutsche Boerse have tried to strike a deal, with the first attempt in 2000 then another in 2004-05. Under the terms of the latest plan, the LSE would own 45.6% of the merged group and Deutsche Boerse would hold the remaining 54.4%. The combined business would have a single board, made up of an equal number of directors from the two companies. A combative, sometimes prickly individual with a missionary zeal to reform welfare having to take instructions from his one-time staffer was always an uneasy relationship. Often, Mr Duncan Smith - with the prime minister's support - managed to rebuff Treasury requests to simply save money. But there was long a sense that Mr Osborne and his team tolerated the Department for Work and Pensions rather than whole-heartedly bought into the reforms. Mr Duncan Smith will point to the remarkable rise in employment levels since 2010 as evidence that his welfare changes are working. Making work pay was the defining characteristic of his approach. The wasted lives he encountered during a visit to the Easterhouse estate in Glasgow when he was Tory leader scarred and invigorated him. He created a think tank, the Centre for Social Justice, where he incubated many of the ideas he would bring to Whitehall. Pensions aside, no major area of welfare policy escaped his advances. Unemployment, housing, sickness and disability benefits were all remodelled. The sanctions regime, penalising people for not sticking closely to benefit rules, which was introduced by Labour, was extended and toughened. Mr Duncan Smith vehemently denied the stricter system had caused the explosion in food bank usage, or a number of deaths, as his opponents claimed. But the speed at which all the changes were attempted meant there were huge problems implementing the policies. Large backlogs built up for both sickness and disability benefit claimants - at one point the helpline for people inquiring about their claim for Personal Independence Payments told them to hang up if they'd been waiting fewer than six months. The biggest delays surround Mr Duncan Smith's most fundamental reform, Universal Credit. The concept, bringing six separate benefits together into one monthly payment, is widely supported. But again its implementation has been beset by problems. IT failures have led to tens of millions of pounds being written off, costs have hugely increased and the whole scheme, originally intended to be completely operational by 2017, isn't now scheduled to be fully rolled out until 2021. Whether to go ahead with Universal Credit, at least in its current form, will be one of Stephen Crabb's biggest early decisions. The former Welsh secretary takes over a post that has drawn extraordinary levels of criticism to it in recent years. Mr Duncan Smith's manner - often brusque, high-handed and dismissive - meant he was regularly personally vilified. Mr Crabb has the opportunity to change the tone on welfare even though the reforms will continue. He is putting the finishing touches to a portrait of Pope Francis. "This is a homage to him," he says. "Coming to Mexico, meeting us and praying for our virgin is very important - that's why I'm painting this." There is a great deal of affection towards the Argentine Pope here and a lot of excitement ahead of the pontiff's first visit to Mexico, which has the second biggest Catholic population in the world The Pew Research Centre estimates 81% of Mexicans identify as Catholic, and Mexicans feel that as a fellow Latin American, Pope Francis understands the Mexican people. One of the highlights of his trip will be the Pope's visit to the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico City. Millions of pilgrims visit the site in honour of Mexico's patron saint every year, and they see it as a source of pride that Pope Francis will do so too. "The impact will be huge, it's great for people because of all the violence here - we have faith that this could change things," said Fernando Medina, who was visiting the Virgin with his daughter Sofia. The Pope will also meet President Enrique Pena Nieto in what will be a highly symbolic encounter. In 1917, the Mexican constitution limited the role of the Catholic Church in public life, and Pope Francis is the first pontiff to be invited to the National Palace. "The state is very conscious of Francis' popularity and his huge standing particularly in Latin America," says Austen Ivereigh, author of a biography of Pope Francis. "I think they want to be identified with it - they want a bit of the stardust that attaches to Francis." President Pena Nieto's approval rating has been hit by the country's continuing struggles with drug violence, human rights abuses and corruption scandals. Pope Francis condemned the situation ahead of his visit, saying Mexico was living its "little piece of war". "The Mexico of violence, the Mexico of corruption, the Mexico of drug trafficking, the Mexico of cartels, is not the Mexico our mother wants," he said. And it is a war the Catholic Church in Mexico itself is not immune to. Since Mr Pena Nieto became president four years ago, 12 priests have been killed and two are missing. These figures suggest Mexico is now one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a priest. "A priest by his very nature is a preacher who leads, who helps form opinion in his communities," says Father Omar Sotelo, the director of the Catholic Multimedia Centre. "But this has made things difficult, it's inconvenienced organised crime. "Organised crime is trying to put fear into people, to corrupt organisations, and obviously killing priests is destabilising the social fabric." And, says Father Sotelo, "things aren't getting better". The seaside resort of Acapulco used to be the holiday destination of choice of Hollywood stars, but now it is more famous for being one of the most violent cities in the world. The Archbishop of Acapulco, the Most Reverend Carlos Garfias Merlos, says residents live in fear. "They live with uncertainty and the risk that at any moment they could get caught up in a stand-off, they could be attacked even if they have nothing to do with the problem," he says. From the surrounding hills, there is an incredible view of the bay and the beach. But the hillside community of La Laja, with its half-built houses, winding roads and sewage problems, is also one of the poorest and most dangerous neighbourhoods of Acapulco. Father Jesus Mendoza has been the priest there for more than 20 years. He knows who the criminals are and says they constantly watch him, meaning he has to be careful with his sermons. "If I say something careless, that could put me in danger and I would have to leave, and I don't want to leave," he says. "I want to be here because I know that people need me, so I have to put limits on what I say and the words I choose." Father Mendoza is hopeful the Pope's visit to Mexico, during which he will take in the violence-ridden border town of Ciudad Juarez and the poor southern state of Chiapas, will have an impact. "We hope he'll touch on sore subjects," he says. "High levels of corruption and the links between politicians and criminals - that is where this country gets stuck." The problem in Mexico is that many see bringing an end to violence and corruption as impossible tasks. "Mexico's deep, deep problem is despair," says Mr Ivereigh. "I think Pope Francis comes with the message to say it is possible to work through all of these things. "But to do that you have to reconnect with the people and their suffering and their realities. "You can increase the security as much as you like, [but] Mexico can only change when hearts and minds are converted. "That's really what he's come to do." Spanish adventurers accompanied by Roman Catholic priests reached Mexico in the early 16th Century, leading to conquest and rule by the Spanish of what they called New Spain. After Mexico's independence in 1821, Catholicism remained the dominant religion, with the Church retaining a privileged status. From the mid-19th Century, the state began to curtail the Church's role in education and restrict its power. Anticlerical measures were strengthened in the 1917 constitution, leading to a rebellion in central and western states in the 1920s. A new constitutional framework in 1992 removed many of the restrictions, granting legal status to religious institutions, limited property rights and voting rights to priests. Today, Mexico has the second highest Roman Catholic population of any country (after Brazil); the 2010 census put the number of Mexican Catholics at 93 million. However, evangelical Protestant churches have been reporting steady and significant growth for more than three decades. Their 62-24 demolition of Harlequins sealed second place, Exeter's highest finish in their 145-year history. "Our whole focus shouldn't necessarily be on Wasps or the Premiership or getting to finals. "It should be playing our best game that we've ever played in the Premiership, because the semi-final should deserve that," said Baxter. As well as their second-place finish, this season Exeter also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup for the first time, losing to Wasps after a last-second conversion, having led for much of the game. Exeter will host the Coventry-based club in their fourth meeting of the season later this month as they vie to reach the Premiership final. "We have only lost one game at home, so we haven't been taking things for granted or else we would have lost more," Baxter told BBC Radio Devon. "We've been very focused at home, but it's going to be our jobs as coaches, and the senior players' jobs, to get everyone back on track and everyone back on lien to make sure everyone gets the hard work done that needs to get done over the next two weeks to make sure we platy our best game of rugby of the season." The Environment Agency had ordered Thames Water to clean Roundmoor ditch at Eton Wick by August 2014. But residents said the stream, which flows into the River Thames, is brown again and causing damage to wildlife. Thames Water apologised for the "unsightly" solids but said the sewage was "not raw" as it had been treated. The company installed new flow meters in August after the winter floods of 2013-14 increased flows into treatment works at nearby Slough and caused sewage to be discharged. The stream had to be restocked with 3,500 fish after an earlier clean-up. Resident Mark Cannon said the sewage had "inexplicably" returned and he is demanding answers from Thames Water. Thames Water said: "While we understand the solids floating in the stream look unsightly, we would like to reassure local people they are not harmful to the stream itself or to the wildlife and fish that depend on it. "We've been testing the water in the stream throughout the day and what can be seen is not raw sewage but matter which has been through the treatment process." Mr Cannon said: "This is flowing through three miles of public access land before it gets into the Thames. "I don't think people should be going anywhere near it." Tries from Ward and Ashton Golding put Leeds ahead, but Tom Davies went over twice to level the scores. Golding collected Ryan Hall's kick to score his second try, before Matt Parcell crossed to extend the lead. Ward touched down twice more to secure the points, before Sam Tomkins went over late on for the Warriors. The result keeps Leeds second in Super League, but extends their advantage over fifth-placed Salford to six points after the Red Devils were beaten 32-18 by Hull FC. Rhinos were helped by the return of forward Brett Delaney after 10 weeks out with injury, but it was Ward who stood out with his first career hat-trick. Wigan drop to eighth place in the Super League table, four points behind fourth-placed St Helens, but still have six games left to attempt to secure a play-off place. Leeds head coach Brian McDermott: "I just sensed the players wanted to be left alone and get to gameday, which we pretty much did. "I wasn't sure what we would deliver, but it was great to see and there was lots of energy. "While Wigan weren't at their best in attack, I thought we defended what they threw at us during some really important moments in the game." Wigan head coach Shaun Wane told BBC Radio Manchester: "We lacked energy, some individuals' defensive errors really cost us and it wasn't a Wigan-like performance. "There were too many defensive errors, and you can't do that when you come to a place like this. "We were beaten by the better team in a very disappointing manner, and we've got seven days now to fix it." Leeds: Golding; Briscoe, Watkins, Sutcliffe, Hall; Moon, McGuire; Cuthbertson, Parcell, Singleton, Ward, Ablett, Jones-Buchanan. Replacements: Mullally, Keinhorst, Lilley, Delaney. Wigan: Tomkins; Davies, Gelling, Gildart, Burgess; Williams, Leuluai; Nuuausala, McIlorum, Sutton, Bateman, Farrell, O'Loughlin. Replacements: Ganson, Clubb, Isa, Tautai.

Susan Edwards, 56, and her husband Christopher, are on trial for the murder of William and Patricia Wycherley in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, in 1998. Their bodies were undiscovered for 15 years until last year. They deny murder but Mrs Edwards has admitted the manslaughter of her mum. The jury at Nottingham Crown Court had been told the pair murdered Mr and Mrs Wycherley at their home and pretended they were alive to claim their pension. On Friday, Mrs Edwards told how she walked into her parents' bedroom to find her mother standing over her dead father's body. She said she picked up the gun, a World War Two revolver, from the bed to keep it from Mrs Wycherley. The court heard her mother began to taunt her, saying she had never been wanted as a child, that she had been abused by her father and that she had an affair with Christopher Edwards. Speaking quietly from the dock, the grey-haired former librarian told the court of the moment she killed her mum. "She kept saying all of these things. She said she knew of my father's abuse," Mrs Edwards said. "She kept saying things over and over again. I asked her 'please stop saying these things and go away. Please stop saying these things.' "She didn't. She kept going on and on. It seemed like a long time. "At some point I lost it. I shot my mother." Mrs Edwards, who was visiting her parents over the May Bank Holiday, then wrapped both bodies in a duvet and hid them under the bed, she told the court. She went home to Dagenham two days later but returned the next weekend with her husband and told him what happened. Mrs Edwards said her husband wanted to go straight to the police but she persuaded him not to. "I emotionally blackmailed him," she said. "I held his arm and pulled him away. He wanted to go to the phone. I used everything in my power - the love between us - for him not to call the police." The pair buried the remains in the back-garden of the house, where they lay undiscovered for 15 years. The court heard previously the police were tipped off after Mr Edwards asked his stepmother for money and gave her an account of what happened. The prosecution claims the couple were murdered for their cash and pensions. The case continues. County had won their first two Group D games and Hibs had taken full points from their only other game. But, despite some exciting play, especially in the opening half, chances came and went in the first group game to involve two Premiership sides. Michael Gardyne fired the deciding spot kick after Oli Shaw's was saved. The extra point puts County, who had gone into the game seeking their fifth win in a row and 10th unbeaten following a good end to last season, in control at the top of the group. Hibs, promoted as Championship winners last season, had arrived in Dingwall unbeaten in their last five games away from home. And they gave debuts to summer signings Steven Whittaker and Danny Swanson, while Efe Ambrose was in the back line for the first time since making his move permanent from Celtic and a mix-up that led to a delayed return for pre-season training. However, it was the starting place handed to Marvin Bartley that gave Hibs early dominance as the big Englishman shrugged off the challenges to dominate midfield. His ball winning allowed John McGinn and Martin Boyle licence to bomb forward and continually worry the County rearguard with their thrusting runs towards the edge of the penalty box. County were hampered by the loss to injury of forward Craig Curran after only seven minutes as Ambrose made his presence felt with a hefty challenge. It meant that summer signing Thomas Mikkelsen made a swift return to the home line-up after Alex Shalk was handed a starting place ahead of the former Dundee United striker. County were left reeling and goalkeeper Scott Fox, back in the side after young Aaron McCarey was given a workout against Montrose, was tested early by a couple of grass cutters from Dylan McGeouch and Simon Murray. The home side, though, regained their composure and confidence after an Andrew Davies header that was beaten away by Hibs goalkeeper Ofir Marciano. A Gardyne drive and a Ryan Dow cross almost deflected into his own net by Lewis Stevenson followed, while the Hibs full-back and McGinn flashed shots just wide as a high-tempo first half drew to a close. County are obviously still adapting to the summer sale of Liam Boyce, last season's Premiership to scorer sold to Burton Albion, while it was too early for Hibs' latest addition, Lithuania striker Deivydas Matulevicius, to have more than a spectator's seat in the stand. With defences tightened after the break, the game was crying out for a finisher and Hibs head coach Neil Lennon hauled off Simon Murray and sent on former County striker Brian Graham. Yet it was a mistake from Fox, who let a deflected Boyle cross slip between his legs and just wide of the post, that came close to providing a killer moment. Fox then denied Boyle at point-blank range and a Darren McGregor header struck the underside of the bar in stoppage time as Hibs paid the price for not finding the target before the game was decided from the penalty spot.

Last week, the island's governor said it would pay most, but not all, of the nearly $1bn (£681.6m) it owed, using extraordinary financial measures. Governor Alejandro Padilla has called for the island to be granted bankruptcy rights like those on the mainland. The US Congress is set to debate the issue in the coming weeks. Overall, the island has a total debt load of about $70bn, which Governor Padilla has said the island cannot pay. The biggest payment on Monday was made towards the general obligation (GO) debt, which came to a total of $328.7m. More than half of that payment was made by raiding funds for other government agencies in a special move being dubbed a "clawback", which had the aim of making sure the constitutionally-guaranteed GO debt would be paid. In the end, the manoeuvre meant that the island defaulted on about $37m worth of bonds tied to infrastructure and development institutions on the island. In an interview with CNBC on Monday, Mr Padilla said that the island was bracing for lawsuits, and warned that "every dollar used to pay lawyers will be a dollar...not available to pay creditors". In recent months, the governor has repeatedly warned of a humanitarian crisis that could unfold and has called on the US Congress to extend bankruptcy protections to the island. US states and territories cannot declare bankruptcy under federal law, though cities and public utility companies on the mainland can. Puerto Rico's public utilities are heavily debt-burdened, but are not allowed the bankruptcy rights that their mainland counterparts are afforded. Republicans oppose extending the right to the island. The White House, while supportive of a bankruptcy option, has ruled out a bailout. "What we are asking is for Congress to give us the tools to address this crisis," Governor Padilla said on Monday. "We do not want a bailout, we just want the tools to solve his crisis". Congress is expected the take up the the issue in the coming months, after Democratic efforts to aid the island were killed during budget debates in December. As the debt crisis has unfolded, the economy has floundered, with pundits often calling it the "Greece of the Caribbean". Unemployment on the island stands at 12.5% - around twice that of the US - and around 45% of people living in poverty. The island faces a bill of around $400m due in February and a much larger $1.9bn bill in July. "This is not political rhetoric, this is mathematic," Mr Padilla said. "It's very simple, we don't have the money to pay". Photos by the BBC's Paul Blake in San Juan. The national drop-out rate rose from 6.6% in 2011-12 to 7.4% in 2014-15, an SMF report finds, with each dropout representing "a loss of potential". Out of all the regions in England, London performs the worst, with a drop-out rate of 9.3% in 2014-15. The government said new laws would make universities publish drop-out rates. The SMF study notes that many of the disadvantaged groups targeted through widening access programmes are also the groups most likely to drop out. It says institutions with a higher in-take of black students, students whose parents work in lower level occupations or students who come from low university participation areas are more likely to have higher drop-out rates. Statistics released by the Office for Fair Access in June showed that, in 2014-15, 8.8% of young, full-time, disadvantaged undergraduates did not continue their studies beyond the first year - up from 8.2% the year before. The SMF says it is "futile to direct significant efforts to widen participation if the same students subsequently drop out". "Tackling non-continuation at university is vital," the report says. "Each dropout represents a loss of potential, a poor and probably confidence-sapping experience for a student and an investment in tuition costs which is likely to have a low return." The research shows the South West has the lowest drop-out rate, while London has the highest: The report says: "While [London] has successful schools and sends a high proportion of its population on to higher education, these successes are not always being translated into attainment at university. "London's relatively poor performance in university retention is part of this story. It is one that needs to be rectified. "While young people in London are more likely than similar individuals in other regions to attend university, drop-out rates are also higher." The report suggests the cost of living may be a factor, as well as the fact that London has the highest proportion of students living at home (31%). "It is possible that distance and staying at home during their studies is influencing their individual sense of belonging. "Students are less likely to feel a full sense of belonging to their university life if they remain connected, both mentally and physically, to their home environment." SMF research director and author of the report Nigel Keohane said: "The government, the Office for Students and universities themselves should now focus as much on retention as on widening the pool of applications and enrolments. Dr Paul Marshall, who chairs the Board of Trustees at the UPP Foundation, which funded the research, said: "Like other industries, UK higher education cannot be complacent and needs to keep improving to remain a world leading sector. "The UPP Foundation sees the task of tackling non-continuation as an important element to improving social mobility throughout HE." A spokeswoman for the Department for Education said: "More students from disadvantaged backgrounds are going to and staying at university than ever before, but we know there is more work to do. "The Higher Education and Research Act will go further by requiring all providers - including the most selective - to publish application, drop-out and attainment data by gender, ethnicity and socio-economic background. "This will hold universities to account and help students to make informed choices about where they go to study. "The Teaching Excellence Framework is also refocusing the sector's attention on teaching - putting in place incentives that will raise standards and encourage providers to support students throughout their studies and equip the next generation of graduates for success." Rosie Ross, 16, was stabbed by a man with schizophrenia in an unprovoked attack in May 2001. Her friend Sarah Elstob, who had been shopping with her that day, described how they had both seen Rosie's killer minutes before the attack. Inderjit Kainth was detained indefinitely for the killing. Although he denied murder, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter due to diminished responsibility in court in December 2001. Miss Elstob said she and Rosie had both been in the same house at Aldridge School, where they had met in Year 8. Rosie had been due to sit her GCSEs and had applied to study fashion and design at college. Miss Elstob said that on the day of the attack, they had been shopping together in the city centre when they were approached by Kainth. Miss Elstob said: "It was a very hot day when it happened. We got some lunch and walked towards Centenary Square." "BRMB radio station was there and that's why originally we stopped there and Rosie bathed her feet in the fountain." She said they both carried on walking up to Centenary Square and Rosie climbed a wall and lay down on it. Miss Elstob said she stayed below to text another friend and Rosie told her she could "sunbathe here all day". She said they both stayed there for about five to 10 minutes when she first noticed Kainth. Miss Elstob said: "He was looking at his watch and I remember him getting very impatient and I remember thinking he was meeting somebody. "I can remember hearing footsteps and seeing black." When she turned around, Miss Elstob said all she could see was a black bin bag, which Kainth had used to conceal his weapon. "It was just as if we had walked into a danger zone, the wrong time, the wrong place," she added. Miss Elstob said she saw him run off and thought at first he had just stolen Rosie's bag. However, seconds later when she saw her friend staggering around she said she knew something more serious had happened. Rosie lost consciousness in the attack and died later in hospital. Miss Elstob said: "If Rosie had known at the actual time what was happening, and realised that this man was mentally ill, she would have tried her utmost to talk him round and try and reassure him that everything isn't bad in the world, because Rosie saw good in everybody. "That's the way she lived her life - carefree. "I wish everybody could be like that." Clive Howard, 56, has been described as a dangerous sexual predator after attacks on six women in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. Howard, from Stowmarket, Suffolk, is due to be sentenced later at Norwich Crown Court. He admitted seven counts of rape, three of kidnap and one of attempted rape. Fifteen further women have since come forward, and Det Sgt Chris Burgess, from Norfolk Police, confirmed at least one was attacked by Howard. He said: "He is a very dangerous man - he was a sexual predator. There is concern that there are further victims." Howard was caught after attacking a woman in her 20s in the St Helens Wharf car park in Norwich on 30 May last year. He had offered her a lift as she walked home but took her to the car park and raped her. A partial image of the number plate of his Volvo, deciphered from CCTV, led to him. His DNA found on the national database linked him to an unsolved case in which a woman was kidnapped in Cambridgeshire in 2013. A woman in her 20s managed to fight him off and his DNA from a scratch was trapped under her fingernail. This case opened the door to other attacks with "striking similarities", Mr Burgess said. Father-of-six Howard, a mechanic, was described as a "loner" whose marriage broke down 15 years ago. At the time of his arrest, he had an 82-year-old girlfriend. "He was a quiet man who lived with his parents, frequented dating sites and searched for street workers," Det Sgt Burgess said. The man, 44, was hit by the driver of a car on the A320 near the Slyfields industrial estate in Guildford on Thursday morning, police said. The drivers approached each other after the car stopped in front of the lorry at a crossing. Police said the attack happened on a busy road and appealed for witnesses It is believed the car involved may have been a Nissan Micra. Det Sgt Jim Strugnell, of Surrey Police, added: "This was a nasty incident which left the lorry driver needing surgery. "I would ask that if you saw either of these vehicles prior to the incident, particularly the manner of their driving as they approached the Slyfield area on the A320 from the Stoke Crossroads area, to get in touch." The suspect is described as being Asian, aged between 30 and 40, with a short beard and short black hair. The ferry MV Coruisk was used for the route before being redeployed to CalMac's Oban-Mull route. People on Skye have complained that the two smaller replacement ferries have been prone to disruption. Ian Blackford, MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber, said MV Coruisk's return would be welcomed. A CalMac spokesperson could not confirm the redeployment, but said the company was looking at all options to improve reliability on the Mallaig to Armadale route. Mr Blackford told BBC Radio Scotland that the Coruisk was ideally suited to operating on the Skye route while the replacement vessels' operation was dictated by tidal conditions. But the MP added that he did not want the situation to be "a fight between Skye and Mull" and wanted all ferry routes to have the appropriate vessel. The charges against Steven Walters, 47, relate to offences allegedly committed against three women between January and April last year, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said. It said the West Midlands Police constable, based at Sutton Coldfield, is currently suspended from duty. He is due before Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Friday. The IPCC said he has been charged with two counts of sexual assault and one count of misconduct in a public office. Read news for Birmingham and the Black Country The initiative - some would say publicity stunt - is the brainchild of a smartphone store based in the city. It says that a significant number of mobile phone breakages happen because of "text walking" collisions. There are now believed to be more mobile phones in the world than people. Figures released by mobile operators and associated companies show that there are about 7.5 billion mobiles in the world, compared to a world population estimated to be 7.2 billion by the US Census Bureau. "You probably walk through the streets while texting or sending Whatsapp messages to your friends and don't really pay attention to your surroundings - only to whatever is happening on your screen," a spokesman for Mlab, a smart phone laboratory based in Antwerp, was quoted by Yahoo News as saying. "This causes collisions with poles or other pedestrians. You could, unknowingly, even be endangering your own life while you 'textwalk' when you cross the street without looking up." Police said officers detained the men, whose nationalities are not yet known, in Pilgrims Way, Westerham, at about 09:30 BST. A spokeswoman said they had all been passed to immigration authorities. It is the latest in a series of incidents in the county this month with 24 Eritreans found in the back of a lorry on Friday. They were inside a refrigerated vehicle and were heard knocking and pleading for air. Other suspected illegal immigrants have been found walking along the M20 near the Channel Tunnel, and clinging to the underneath of motorhomes. The collision - involving a car and a motorbike - happened on an unclassified road south of Cuminestown. Police, ambulance and fire crews were sent to the scene after the alarm was raised shortly after 09:00. He was best known to many for his role as Idris in the BBC Wales comedy Satellite City which was made in the 1990s. He also appeared in High Hopes and played the part of David Tushingham in the Welsh-language soap Pobol y Cwm. Boyd Clack, who wrote and also starred in Satellite City, said Swansea-born Mr Morris was "a great actor" and "a great man." Mr Morris began his acting career in repertory theatre. Early television appearances included Z Cars and The District Nurse. Mr Clack said: "I worked with Islwyn on Satellite City for six years. "Islwyn was a great actor, a great man, it was an honour to have known him and worked with him. "He played my father in Satellite City. I lost my father when I was young and I thought of him in a few ways as being a father figure. "For the first time he became recognised by people in Wales - he thought it was funny, he quite enjoyed it. "He was very much a family man and his faith meant a lot to him. Being with him was a constant pleasure." Mr Morris, who died on Tuesday, appeared in Pobol y Cwm over 25 years. Keith Jones, Director of BBC Wales, said he was one of Wales' most loved actors. "As 'Tush' he was one of the defining faces of Pobol y Cwm, alongside characters such as Bella and Harri Parry," he said. "He brought warmth and subtle comedy to this role and many other roles for the BBC. "In recent years, he became popular with a new and different audience through the comedy series Satellite City and High Hopes. "I'd like to pay tribute to his artistry and to the great contribution he made to BBC Cymru Wales drama." Bethan Jones, BBC Wales' Acting Head of Drama said: "Islwyn Morris was a wonderful actor who created memorable characters including the very dapper Mr Tushingham in Pobol y Cwm and the loveable Idris Price in the popular comedy Satellite City. "Islwyn will always be remembered not only for his notable acting talent but for also being a true gentleman." Monmouth AM Nick Ramsay suggested some members, including opposition party leaders and committee chairs, could lose their extra payments altogether. He told BBC Wales' Sunday Politics the money saved could fund a "modest increase" in pay for backbenchers. A proposed 18% pay-rise for AMs' basic pay was "completely outlandish", he said. Under plans from the assembly's remuneration board, basic pay would rise from £54,390 to £64,000 after the 2016 election. AMs can earn more for additional duties - for example, if they are government ministers, if they lead a political group, or if they chair a committee. But the board wants to cut the additional payments made to ministers and the presiding officer. Under the plans, committee chairs and opposition leaders would get a small increase. For example, additional payment received by Tory leader Andrew RT Davies could rise £580 to £27,000, taking his total salary from £80,810 to £91,000. But Mr Ramsay said the constraints do not go far enough. "I'm saying that if you look at what they did in Scotland where they decided to remove many of the allowances and use that money to make savings and to provide a small uplift for other backbench members of the Scottish parliament," he said. "If you look at what they've done then the remuneration panel should go further down the road at looking at this." He said scrutiny of the Welsh government in the assembly had been "failing for a long, long time" and that a "more modest increase" than the one proposed by the board was needed. The board, whose members do not include AMs, has the final say on pay and allowances. A consultation on its proposals closes on Monday. Sunday Politics Wales can be seen on BBC One Wales at 11:00 GMT on Sunday, 11 January. Officers are carrying out "extensive inquiries" into the incident, which occurred between 21:45 and 22:05 on Sunday near a garage on Dundee Street. They are keen to trace a slim white man in his 20s, who at the time was wearing a dark coloured long-sleeved top and blue jeans. Officers have appealed to the public for information. Det Insp Andy Patrick said: "This is a particularly distressing assault on a young girl and we are appealing for anyone who may have seen this man in the area of Dundee Street on Sunday to come forward and assist us with our investigation. "We would reassure the public that we are using all available means of inquiry to identify the person responsible and we would urge anyone who has any information that may assist with our inquiries to contact us." The 35-year-old Argentine will be performing Elgar's Concerto in E minor on 15 Jul, in her Proms debut. Gabetta, who started learning the cello aged four, is already an internationally renowned cellist and has performed around the world. She has collaborated with lauded conductors and won many high-profile awards, including a Gramophone Award and the Echo Klassik Preis - a German music prize - as well as having earned a Grammy nomination. To mark her Proms concert, a short film has been made called Cello, which shows her playing the opening to the Elgar concerto while a digital light display flickers across the surface of her 300-year-old cello. Here she tells the film's producer, Richard Slaney of 59 Productions, about her excitement ahead of the show and why the cello is a great instrument. This is my first time playing at the Proms, so to be making my debut at the first night is quite a big thing for me. I'll be performing Elgar's Cello Concerto, which is a very important concerto for all cellists - but to play it in London, in front of an English audience, is very special. You can imagine how big this feels in my head, knowing that I'm in front of a public that probably knows the piece even better than I do! Many in the audience will have listened to this piece maybe 100 times. I'm very familiar with the Elgar concerto. The first time I recorded it, I performed it about 60 times in one year. But making this film was different - it was definitely my first time playing it like this. As children, we learn how to perform. We learn how to prepare, psychologically and physically, to play for two hours without losing energy, but sometimes it's more difficult playing in front of cameras than it is to be on stage. And it was so strange to see the Proms printed on my cello like a photo! It's very simple. The cello is the only instrument that has four voices like the ones you'd hear singing in a choir, or in a chord played on the piano. There are so many possibilities. Many people talk about the cello having a human voice. But it can also be a very angry instrument, especially if you're playing the darkest, lowest strings. At the same time, it can also be extremely delicate - but never 'crying', like you sometimes hear with a violin. Then there's the extreme projection - not only strong, but intense, with so many colours. There just aren't any other instruments in existence that have this kind of power. Of course you have the piano, but that's a completely different technique: more mechanical, and there's nothing mechanical about the cello. It's a very natural element to work with, and it's sensitive too. If the weather is cold, your cello gets cold, and if it's too hot - well, he doesn't sweat, but you can feel that the projection of the sound is not as clear and as fast as it should be. I respect the instrument a lot. When he's not feeling well, I try to change the room or the factors that are making him unhappy. Yes, of course!

Deputy Defence Minister Kostas Isichos told the BBC northern Europe must do more to rescue and shelter migrants. He said that Greece, Italy and Spain were working on a common position ahead of an emergency EU summit on Thursday. Meanwhile, more than 500 rescued people were brought ashore by Italian coastguards on Wednesday morning. The number of people attempting to flee war and poverty in the Middle East and Africa, particularly Eritreans and Syrians, has spiked in recent months, leading to huge numbers of people drowning in unseaworthy vessels. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) says there have been 30 times as many deaths so far in 2015 as in the same period last year and the figure could rise to 30,000. Also on Wednesday, Italy's parliament held a minute's silence for Sunday's disaster, in which more than 800 people died. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi then addressed MPs, saying he wanted asylum applications in Italy to start being processed by a "European team" and that more action was needed in countries where migrants originate in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the UN's special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants has said wealthy countries should agree to accept one million Syrian refugees over the next five years to help end the series of boat disasters. "If we don't provide any official mechanism for... [migrants], they will resort to smugglers. The inaction of Europe is actually what creates the market for smugglers," Francois Crepeau told the Guardian newspaper. Special report: Europe's migrant crisis More on the Mediterranean's deadly migrant routes On Monday, the EU set out a package of measures to try to ease the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean. They include an increase in the financial resources of Frontex, the border agency which runs the EU's Mediterranean rescue service Triton, and an extension of Triton's operational area. The EU had been criticised over the scope of Triton, which replaced the larger Italian operation Mare Nostrum at the end of last year. There will also be a new campaign to destroy traffickers' boats. Human rights group Amnesty International said that the decision to end Mare Nostrum had "contributed to a dramatic increase in migrant and refugee deaths" and called for "the immediate launch of a humanitarian operation to save lives at sea". The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) welcomed the EU's proposals, but stressed that "much more was needed" to tackle the issue. This snippet of news raised eyebrows this morning when it was revealed. So what's going on? The answer is simple on the face of it. Taxes are paid on profit not turnover. It paid lower taxes because it made lower profits. Last year it made £48m in profit - this year it made only £24m so it paid £7m tax compared to £15m. What is more interesting is WHY its profits were lower. Part of the reason is the way it pays its staff. Amazon UK Services is the division which runs the fulfilment centres which process, package and post deliveries to UK customers. It employs about 16,000 of the 24,000 people Amazon have in the UK. Each full-time employee gets given at least £1,000 worth of shares every year. They can't cash them in immediately - they have to hold them for a period of between one and three years. If Amazon's share price goes up in that time, those shares are worth more. Amazon's share price has indeed gone up over the past couple of years - a lot. In fact, in the past two years the share price has nearly doubled, so £1,000 in shares granted in August 2015 are now worth nearly £2,000. Staff compensation goes up, compensation is an expense, expenses can be deducted from revenue - so profits are lower and so are the taxes on those profits. But surely this extra income for the staff is taxed? Probably not. HMRC rules allow employees to receive £3,600 worth of shares from their employer tax free every year. Most of these awards are below that threshold. The employee wins through a tax-free windfall, Amazon wins because it hasn't got to pay any cash out, which leaves HMRC as the big loser. This is not just allowed by UK tax law - it is required by it. So, weirdly, the more valuable Amazon becomes, the less tax this particular bit of its business pays. There is heightened sensitivity around the tax affairs of technology giants such as Amazon, Google and Apple. The challenge of adapting a tax code written for a bygone era to work effectively on technology multinationals who have socked billions away in low tax jurisdictions remains. But the practice of giving staff shares is widespread, generally seen as a good way to promote loyalty and engagement - and is 100% legal. Concert in the Gardens on 31 December will also have special guests the Lightning Seeds, The Vegan Leather and the winners of the Hog the Stage competition, Lemonhaze. The Night Afore Concert, Candlelit Concert and the Old Town Ceilidh with Belhaven are also sold out. There are tickets left for the world-famous Street Party. Organisers said there were "limited torches and wristbands" for the Torchlight Procession. All events on Sunday 1 January are sold out including The Final Fling, a ceilidh at the National Museum of Scotland, the "Loony Dook" dip in the Forth at South Queensferry and the Scot:Lands festival of music, art and theatre. Richard Lewis, City of Edinburgh Council's festival and events champion, said: "The countdown to Edinburgh's Hogmanay is on and it really is set to be a cracker. "With three days of spectacular events including the Torchlight Procession and the Stoats Loony Dook, plus so many stages offering fantastic entertainment at the street party, be quick to get your ticket to the greatest New Year celebration on earth." About 75,000 revellers are expected to attend the celebrations in Edinburgh city centre, with entertainment across seven open-air stages. The Castle Stage will feature Scottish music from artists including Salsa Celtica , Manran and Ross Ainslie, Ali Hutton and Friends. The Frederick Stage will have DJs, dancers and performers from Guilty Pleasures while the Mound Stage will showcase jazz performers including James Brown is Annie, Brass Gumbo and Blues n Trouble. The Candlelit Concert will also take place in St Giles' Cathedral and the Old Town Ceilidh will return to Parliament Square. The event will be rounded off with a fireworks display from the ramparts of Edinburgh Castle. Edinburgh's Hogmanay, described as the UK's largest outdoor winter music festival, has been produced by Unique Events on behalf of the City of Edinburgh Council since 1993. It is expected to bring in 150,000 visitors from more than 80 countries across three days of celebrations, giving the city an estimated £40m boost. In February, a report estimated the project cost was £43m with a funding shortfall of between £11.3m and £19.8m. These figures have now been revised to £42m with a shortfall of £6.8m The new figures are in the latest Meadowbank report going to Edinburgh city council's corporate policy and strategy committee on Tuesday. The new figures are due to increasing land values, a modified and re-costed design and "no significant issues" from a ground survey. •An outdoor athletics track with seating for 500 •An indoor 60m six lane athletics track with jumps area •An outdoor throws area •A 3G synthetic sports pitch or grass pitch in the centre of the outdoor athletics track for football, rugby and other pitch sports •An additional outdoor 3G synthetic sports pitch •An eight badminton court sports hall with 500 permanent seats plus bleachers (the same size as the current Meadowbank Hall 1) •A four badminton court sports hall with 500 permanent seats (the same size as the current Meadowbank Hall 2) •A gymnastics hall, gym, studios, changing facilities, café and meeting rooms. Andrew Burns, Edinburgh city council's leader, said: "This new figure is really encouraging and gives everyone hope that a new Meadowbank fit for the 21st Century can now become a reality. "Obviously there is still a long way to go with a project of this scale but I want to assure everyone the council is committed to continue our exciting work on redeveloping Meadowbank. "We will continue to explore all funding options to find the required £6.8m so the existing facility can be demolished and transformed into a brand new sports complex that would serve the sporting needs of the residents of Edinburgh and the east of Scotland." Meadowbank was originally built for Edinburgh's 1970 Commonwealth Games. The plans would see the existing site transformed into a new sports centre. If the funding shortfall is found and the team are appointed in February 2016, demolition could begin next autumn with a new Meadowbank opening in Spring 2018. Media playback is not supported on this device The retired 20-time champion jockey was responding to Michelle Payne calling racing "chauvinistic" after she was the first woman to win the Melbourne Cup. "The female jockeys are very, very competent riders but perhaps a woman should receive an allowance like a filly does in a race," said McCoy. Female horses carry less weight than males when competing in the same races. But there is no similar allowance for jockeys - racing is one of the few sports where men and women compete on an equal footing at the highest level. Some female jockeys regard suggestions of a weight concession as patronising, while others believe it would create more opportunities for women. "I don't think it would be fair," said leading female rider Cathy Gannon. "We've been trying to say we're as good as the boys for years so it would be a backward step in my eyes." Payne rode 100-1 shot Prince of Penzance to victory, ahead of the Frankie Dettori-ridden Max Dynamite, in the Melbourne Cup - known as "the race that stops a nation". "It was brilliant for her to win the race and tactically she gave Prince Of Penzance a brilliant ride, but I'm not sure that was the time to call racing a chauvinistic sport," said Northern Irishman McCoy in a blog for bookmakers William Hill. "It's a very physically demanding sport and they're not going to be as physically strong as a bloke. They can't be. Tactically they can be as good but if it comes down to strength in a finish, a woman is not going to be as strong as a man. "There aren't many sports where women compete against men and on a day-to-day basis. Are women as physically strong as men? No they're not. It's just fact." Jockey Racheal Kneller welcomed McCoy's suggestion, but is unsure whether it would change perceptions. "It's a good idea but I don't think it will make any difference. I claim 5lbs and I still struggle for opportunity," she said. Grade One-winning Canadian rider Emma-Jayne Wilson tweeted: "Brilliant idea - if strength were the only attribute jockeys required to be successful." Payne was only the fourth female to ride in the Melbourne Cup in its 155-year history. After her victory on 3 November, she said: "It's such a chauvinistic sport, I know some of the owners wanted to kick me off." She praised Prince of Penzance trainer Darren Weir and owner John Richards for their support but added: "I want to say to everyone else, get stuffed, because women can do anything and we can beat the world." The baby was infected in the womb while the mother was travelling in Latin America, though state officials have not identified where. The defect causes abnormally small heads and other developmental damage. Florida Governor Rick Scott also announced four more people had contracted the Zika virus, bringing the state's total to 21 cases. Harris County, where the baby was born, now has two reported cases of babies born with microcephaly. The case is the first Zika-related death reported in Texas. The Zika virus, frequently transmitted by mosquitoes, often causes no symptoms, but is particularly dangerous for pregnant women. In a statement, the Texas Department of Health Services said there was no risk of locally contracted Zika in Texas. There are 97 cases of the virus in Texas. The Florida Department of Health said officials believe the active transmissions are likely only taking place within the Wynwood neighbourhood in Miami-Dade County. Governor Scott urged Congress and President Obama to take action. "This is not only an issue affecting us here in Florida," the governor said in a statement. "This is a national issue." Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton echoed the governor's plea while on the campaign trail, calling on congress to hold a special session to pass a Zika funding bill. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said nationwide there are 15 cases of Zika-related birth defects and six pregnancies losses associated with infection. The baby's death comes a day after Florida health officials identified a man in West Palm Beach who had contracted the virus. Florida is the only state in the US to have local cases of Zika. Mr Ross wants to transform the listed stables at his stately home in Leicestershire into a 400-seat opera theatre. If approved, construction will start at the Nevill Holt Opera in late 2016. Mr Ross's goal is to replace the current temporary seating with "a perfect venue" for young opera stars. The current structure, near Market Harborough, can seat up to 350 but is "inadequate and beyond effective economic repair," Nevill Holt Opera general manager Rosenna East said. Operas have been staged at Mr Ross's home since 2013, but a temporary structure has been used by touring companies for a decade. Mr Ross wants to expand the summer opera festival and run community and education programmes at the new opera theatre during the rest of the year. Mrs East said: "It would be a game changer for us at NHO and bring something really special for the region. "It is a 17th Century stable block which is Grade Two listed and we want to turn it into a beautiful state-of-the-art auditorium for opera." She said the walls of the stable block are "a beautiful golden colour and they are not going anywhere". The current structure is not suitable for winter as it is "too cold" so the permanent theatre will allow events on a year-round basis, she said. "We believe in nurturing young opera stars and this will be a perfect venue for them." Dating back to the 13th Century, the Nevill Holt estate became home to the opera in 2000. Mr Ross, who will support the project through his David Ross Foundation, also has a large private collection of modern British sculpture at the hall. Statistics from Operabase

Relatives of Matthew Williams, found attacking Cerys Marie Yemm at a homeless hostel in Argoed, near Blackwood, said they were "devastated by the death of an innocent young lady". Gwent Police stunned Williams, 34, with a Taser but he later died. Sources have confirmed Ms Yemm suffered substantial facial injuries. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating. "Our thoughts and prayers at this time are with the victim, her family and friends," the family said. "Words cannot express our grief." It is understood Williams had been released from prison two to three months ago after serving around half of a five year sentence for assaulting a former girlfriend. Before that, he had been convicted of a burglary offence. The IPCC said Williams had been formally identified and confirmed he had been a resident at the Sirhowy Arms hostel. It was there on Thursday that police found him attacking Ms Yemm. Gwent Police said a lone female officer initially responded to the attack. Ch Insp Paul Staniforth told reporters on Friday Ms Yemm's family is being supported by officers. He also said the female officer and others who later attended were being supported by the force's occupational health department. "The post mortem for Cerys will start today, although may not be complete for some time," he added. "Speculative comments about what happened and cause of death are unhelpful." Police said Williams, who lived at the halfway house, and Ms Yemm knew each other and they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the murder. Tributes have started to be paid to Ms Yemm, who worked in sales at Next and was formerly a student of Coleg Gwent between 2008 and April 2009. She had been studying health and social care. Principal Jim Bennett said: "We would like to send our deepest sympathy and condolences to Cerys's family, friends and loved ones." Gareth Griffiths, from Argoed, said: "It's not a massive village, everyone wants to know what's happened. Everyone who doesn't want the place to be there thinks it's ammunition to use against the council to get it moved or shifted... it must be a horrific way to die, it's horrible, it's unbearable." IPCC Commissioner for Wales Jan Williams said: "I would like to express my sincere condolences to the families of the deceased at this sad and difficult time. "Our investigators are gathering all relevant evidence to understand the full circumstances of what happened." Police vans and TV satellite trucks continue to line what was, until 24 hours ago, a quiet residential street in the centre of the small village. Now, red and white tape cordons off part of the pavement outside the hostel at the centre of a murder investigation. An officer stands guard at the doorway. On the ground lies flowers and a note addressed to the building's residents. Scenes of crime officers move in and out of the building, while those who still live there try to get on with their day-to-day business, making use of a back entrance. Neighbours have continued to speak of their shock at what happened here in the early hours of Thursday. One described the killing as "horrific", while a woman said their worst fears about the hostel had come true. "We knew there was going to be problems when it was opened," she said. "But until yesterday it was nowhere as bad as we thought it would be. Now it is as bad as we thought - and worse. "The whole thing is horrible." Argoed councillor Garry Lewis described the nature of the killing as "grotesque". Baptist chapel secretary June Trace said the Sirhowy Arms was converted into accommodation for vulnerable people several years ago. She said it had a "fluctuating population" with people aged in their 30s or 40s. Despite some concerns she said there had never been any trouble there. However, others have said the police have been called on occasions. France is worried by the prime minister's push to protect non-euro countries from eurozone regulations. Now, you could say that sounds entirely reasonable. Most EU countries use the euro. Why should they be allowed to gang up to the disadvantage of non-euro countries like Britain? But France thinks David Cameron and George Osborne, the UK Chancellor, are being sneaky. It suspects they are using the argument to win an unfair advantage for the City of London and a backdoor veto on eurozone and wider EU financial legislation. The French economy is sluggish, to put it politely, and the French president is about to enter the political race for re-election. He cannot be seen to open the door for Britain to do even better financially while his eurozone hands are tied. Two weeks ago on the eve of the publication in Brussels of David Cameron's draft reform plans, we were told by a high-level source close to the negotiations that the French delayed them for hours, worrying about the wording referring to safeguards for non-eurozone countries. All leaders have to sign up to the reforms this Thursday for them to be passed at the EU summit. The French could again quibble, clash over and even dash the prime minister's hopes of a deal. If they so choose. A real possibility, however, is that after hours of closed-door negotiations, the summit will end in the kind of EU-fudge so derided by the bloc's critics. Yet in true EU style, all sides want to be able to walk away saying they have won something. The French will likely crow that the British failed to get a veto over eurozone legislation (even though David Cameron never asked for one). The countries of central and eastern Europe got Britain's promise to help bolster Nato in eastern Europe as a pre-summit sweetener. They also hope to restrict reductions in EU migrant in-work and child benefits to the UK only. The European Commission and council played key roles as facilitator and mediator respectively and, as such, got some respectful press coverage in Europe - something which, in these days of eurozone and migration crisis, they are little used to. And David Cameron should get his deal in time for him to call the referendum as soon as possible - which is thought to be 23 June. He knows full well that, whatever the content of a deal, his critics will decry it. So he seems to prefer to tick just enough boxes, particularly the one that appears to address migration - the key concern of many of his voters. He knows that persuading the British people to support any deal ahead of the referendum is a far tougher challenge than getting 27 fractious and distracted EU leaders onside. The prime minister wants to leave his EU colleagues to return to arguably the toughest issue on their plates: refugees, boats and migrant quotas. On Monday, European Council President Donald Tusk appealed to EU leaders to help David Cameron get his reforms. "It is high time we started listening to each other's arguments, the risk of break-up is real. What is broken cannot be mended," he said. If those are Mr Tusk's words on Brexit (the idea of Britain leaving the EU), what might he say about the refugee and migration crisis, combined with the steady crumbling of European unity?

Privacy, co-created by James Graham and Josie Rourke, originally premiered at London's Donmar Warehouse in 2014. The play is unusual in that it encourages audiences to submit data from their mobile phones during the performance. The US production begins previews at The Public Theater on 5 July. Radcliffe, star of the Harry Potter films, will play The Writer in a cast of seven who will play an ensemble of real-life high profile politicians, journalists and technologists who have all contributed to the show. Rourke, the Donmar's artistic director, will direct. "Privacy has at its heart a debate about modern life and we at the Donmar Warehouse cannot therefore think of a better partner than The Public Theater to bring this new play to American audiences," Rourke said. "James and I have been across the US interviewing everyone from politicians, historians, campaigners - even an etiquette expert - about American attitudes to privacy. "The show is a risk-taking, fun, and stimulating piece of theatre, that we hope pushes at the boundaries of audience experience." Inspired by Edward Snowden's National Security Agency (NSA) revelations, Privacy uncovers our complicated relationship with technology. In a reversal of usual theatre etiquette, audiences are encouraged to leave their phones on during the performance. "Personal privacy in the modern age - when all our wants and fears can be monitored and monetised as we share more than we have before - is, I believe, one of the most crucial issue of our time," said playwright Graham. Radcliffe's previous stints on Broadway include The Cripple of Inishmaan, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Equus. Privacy opens at The Public Theatre on 18 July and the play will run through to 7 August. Official statistics show local authorities reported an overall revenue surplus of £69.4m for 2014-15, compared with a deficit of £54.8m in 2013-14. Finance Secretary John Swinney said the figures showed councils had been treated "very fairly". But a Cosla spokesman said the high-level figures hid the "true story" of what was happening on the ground. There has been anger from unions and opposition parties over the local government settlement in the 2016/17 Scottish Budget passed by MSPs at Holyrood last week. Cosla said the deal would cut council budgets by £350m and put 15,000 jobs at risk. But Mr Swinney countered that the overall reduction in funding for 2016/17 was less than 1% of councils' estimated total expenditure, when £250m to support the integration of health and social care was taken into account. He said: "These figures demonstrate that, despite cuts of nearly 10% to the Scottish budget from the UK government, local government has been treated very fairly by the Scottish government and protected from the worst impact of UK cuts. "The Scottish Parliament Information Centre, in its research briefing on local government finance, found that the council tax freeze was not only fully funded but could indeed be said to be 'over-funded'." He added: "It is welcome news that the highest spends in 2014-15 were on education and social care, and I hope to see this trend continue." Responding to Mr Swinney, a spokesman for Cosla said: "It is simply wrong to think of this money as being a surplus sitting in a bank account. "These are high level figures which hide the true story of what is happening on the ground." He added: "The fact is that the considerable majority of these reserves will already be committed by councils for specific and planned areas of local spend such as service transformation, creating capacity and responding to severe weather to name but a few. "It must also be highlighted that these figures show the position for 2014/15 and so are already out of date and do not reflect the real financial situation faced by councils today." The spokesman said reserves allow councils to protect against financial shocks, adding: "No more so is this the case for the 2016/17 budget. "If councils hadn't had the reserves there then the impact on front line services and communities would have been far greater than is the case." Ian Battersby and Ian Currie, through their company Seneca Partners, are understood to have contacted Indian owners Venky's about the proposal. Venky's, run by the Rao family, last month revealed debts of £102.4m. Boss Paul Lambert is leaving the club and his replacement will be an eighth permanent manager in eight years. Venky's bought the club in 2010 but have seen their debts rise after relegation from the Premier League in 2012. "The interest from Seneca Partners is genuine. What remains to be seen is how it's viewed in India. "Seneca Partners have offered their services to help before, something which wasn't welcomed but it's clear that fresh ideas are required to take the club forward. "Whatever happens, Blackburn Rovers have some key roles to fill this summer. Notably a first-team manager, which might now have to wait." Richard Cook, chief executive of Cook Consulting (UK) Ltd, signed memoranda of understanding (MoU) with Pakistani officials this week. The signing ceremony took place at Glasgow City Chambers in the presence of the governor of Sindh province. Mr Cook is a former vice-chairman of the Scottish Conservatives. Under one of the agreements, Cook Consulting - along with Canadian firm Sentinel Waste International and USA-based Aeromix Systems Inc - undertook to work with the Port Qasim Authority to develop drinking water production facilities through desalination. It aims to produce 97 million gallons a day of drinking water, and involves estimated total capital investment of $775m. A similar agreement was signed with Karachi Water and Sewerage Board to develop a desalination plant, with an estimated investment of about $85m. Another MoU was signed with Karachi Port Trust, targeting treatment of 60 million gallons a day of waste water, with an estimated capital investment to Pakistan of $100m. In that project, Cook Consulting is being partnered by Northamptonshire firm Point Green Limited. Mr Cook said: "These projects will be extremely significant in developing an infrastructure in Karachi which provides its population with significant environmental and health benefits." Mr Cook is a prominent figure in Scottish Conservatives circle, having stood as a parliamentary candidate in several elections - most recently in the Westminster seat of East Renfrewshire in 2010. The ad ran in some newspapers to promote "great offers on beer and cider" in the run-up to Easter. The supermarket said it would not run the ad again after it attracted criticism from some religious figures. Vicar and broadcaster, the Reverend Richard Coles, said the advert was "extraordinarily and unnecessarily ignorant". Good Friday is when Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Some choose to mark the day by fasting, which can include abstaining from eating meat or drinking alcohol. There is some dispute about why it is called "good", with some suggesting the day is "good" in that it is holy, and others that the phrase is a corruption of "God's Friday". Why is Good Friday called Good Friday? A Tesco spokesperson told the BBC: "We know that Easter is an important time of the year for our customers. "It is never our intention to offend and we are sorry if any has been caused by this advert." Tesco "got it badly wrong" with the "crass" advert, Michael Wakelin, from the faculty of divinity at Cambridge University, told BBC 5 live. It was also a "decidedly poor way of treating such a holy day", said Mr Wakelin, a former head of BBC religious programmes. "I'm sure there was no attempt to offend, I'm sure that wasn't in their mind. "It is just religious illiteracy; ignorance if you like, around what religious people hold dear, and that is my main concern," he added. Rev Coles said on Twitter that the advert "causes unnecessary offence to many. It didn't need to." However, other Twitter users felt the advert was not offensive. "Like it or not the Easter is also a secular holiday as well as a religious one. Most are travelling to families rather than to church," one user wrote. It comes after Cadbury and the National Trust were criticised for apparently dropping the word Easter from their egg hunts. The 2014 champion won 6-4 6-3 3-6 6-3 in two hours and 47 minutes. Spain's David Ferrer lost 6-4 3-6 2-6 1-6 to Kazakh Mikhail Kukushkin. French eighth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat Romanian Marius Copil 6-3 6-3 6-4, while American 10th seed John Isner won 6-1 6-3 4-6 6-3 against France's Pierre-Hugues Herbert. Tsonga will play Denis Shapovalov in the second round, after the Canadian beat Russia's Daniil Medvedev 7-5 6-1 6-2, while Isner faces South Korea's Chung Hyeon. Sandgren, ranked 105th in the world, had been due to play Andy Murray, before the Briton's withdrawal on Saturday. "I feel just a little bit rusty," said fifth seed Cilic after Monday's win. "I need a few matches to get in the rhythm. I was hitting some good shots and then making some unforced errors," added the world number seven, who will play German Florian Mayer in the second round. American Sam Querrey, who reached the Wimbledon semi-finals, beat Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-4 6-3 6-4, while Luxembourg's Gilles Muller was a 3-6 6-3 6-4 6-4 winner over Australian Bernard Tomic. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that at least five people were killed as a number of areas were hit. The government and its ally Russia halted air strikes in mid-October to allow civilians and rebels to leave. Russia denied it had resumed attacks on Aleppo, but said it had launched missiles at jihadist groups elsewhere. Russia's only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, was also used in combat for the first time, with Su-33 fighters flying sorties from the eastern Mediterranean. But footage of the aircraft from Russian media outlets show them equipped with air-to-air missiles rather than bombs. Government forces launched a major assault on rebel-held eastern Aleppo on 22 September, two weeks after placing it under siege. Since then, troops have pushed into several outlying areas with the help of Iranian-backed Shia militias and Russian air strikes. Rebels launched a counter-attack in an attempt to break the siege in late October. But their progress slowed after early gains. The UN says weeks of air strikes and shelling have killed more than 700 civilians in the east, while rocket-fire has left scores dead in the government-controlled west. On Tuesday, activists said the three-week moratorium on air strikes declared by Russia had seemingly ended. Warplanes and helicopters reportedly bombed the Haidaria, Masakin Hanano, Sakhour, Sheikh Faris, Bab al-Nairab, Qadi Askar and Qaterji districts. "Our houses are shaking from the pressure. Planes are soaring above us and the bombardment is around us," resident Modar Shekho told the Reuters news agency. Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu did not mention Aleppo when he briefed President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday about the start of a "major operation" against so-called Islamic State and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, which was known as al-Nusra Front until it formally broke off ties with al-Qaeda in July. Mr Shoigu said a frigate, the Admiral Grigorovich, had fired Kalibr cruise missiles at targets in Idlib and Homs provinces. The Su-33s on board the Admiral Kuznetsov and the Bastion mobile coastal defence missile system were also involved. The targets included "terrorist" training centres, arms depots, as well as "factories producing various weapons with fairly serious mass destruction capacity". The Local Co-ordination Committees, an opposition activist network, reported that a missile hit the town of Saraqeb in Idlib province, and that Russian warplanes had targeted the towns of Ariha, Ihsim, Khan Sheikhoun and Tal Nabi Ayoub. The LCC also said there had been air strikes on several locations in Aleppo province on Tuesday, including one that damaged a hospital in Awaijel. At least one person was killed in the attack, the third on a medical facility in 24 hours, it added. The protesters blocked major arteries into the capital, but officials say they caused little disruption. Livestock and dairy farmers in particular have been badly hit by falling prices on world markets. They have been hit by tough competition between supermarkets as well as a Russian embargo on EU food imports. The BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris says that it was a noisy, eye-catching, disruptive protest from the farmers in the centre of the capital. The protesters want to put maximum possible pressure on President Francois Hollande's Socialist government, which has already given way once, just six weeks ago, with a package of debt relief worth €600m ($674m; £440m), our correspondent says. But the farmers say that they need much more, arguing that French agriculture is on the verge of collapse. Their tractors, spray-painted with "Anger'" or "Enough Bureaucracy", trundled on Thursday morning along major roads in the capital. They came from all parts of the country to take part in the demonstration. Although key roads were blocked, many commuters appeared to have taken public transport, as advised by police. Dairy farmer Maxime Pilorget told French TV that he was losing money hand over fist because the daily income he was receiving for his cows' milk was far less than the cost of producing it. "Morally, the hardest thing is to be unable to make a living from my work," he said. Dairy farmers in particular have seen incomes collapse because of over-production on the world market. Correspondents say they have also been adversely affected by changing dietary habits and slowing Chinese demand. Grain farmer Pierre Bot, from Vauhallan south of Paris, told AP news agency that while "it's not popular to annoy all the people on their way to work" such a tactic was necessary for farmers to make themselves heard. Pork farmers, meanwhile, face competition from the vast piggeries of Denmark and Germany, where production costs are much lower. Our correspondent says that French agriculture faces something of an existential crisis as it struggles to adapt - after decades of protection - to a globalised ultra-competitive world. Earlier in the summer protesting farmers throughout the country dumped manure in cities, blocked access to roads and stopped tourists from travelling to the popular Mont St-Michel island in northern France. Ex-North Wales Police Supt Gordon Anglesea, 78, of Old Colwyn, Conwy, denies sexually abusing two teenage boys in the 1980s. A witness at the Mold Crown Court trial said the property in Brymbo, Wrexham, was used by a paedophile ring. Boys were abused there, in a caravan or taken to the pub, jurors were told. The witness described the house as a "centre of paedophile activity" and said he gave investigators names of men who abused him there. "They'd be plied with drink and shown pornographic videos," he said. "The men would pick a boy they wanted and then either abuse them in the house, in a car, in a caravan or take them to pubs." While there, the witness was introduced to Gary Cooke - who was jailed for 14 years in September 2015 after being found guilty of 11 indecent assaults. He said Mr Anglesea visited to speak to Cooke in the kitchen and he remembered Mr Anglesea from a "distinguishing" birthmark, the court heard. The witness - who is not a complainant in the trial - said he was abused by a number of men. He also alleged that when showering as a child at the Wrexham attendance centre run by Mr Anglesea, the former police officer would be watching boys "with a horrible grin" on his face. Defence barrister Tania Griffiths suggested this was "absolute nonsense", to which the witness replied: "No, it is not." She said there were inconsistencies in the evidence, such as the witness describing Mr Anglesea's birthmark on the wrong side of his face. "If you can make such whopping mistakes, you can make a mistake about Mr Anglesea at Gary Cooke's home?" she asked. Mr Anglesea denies two allegations of indecent assault and one serious sexual assault on one boy and the indecent assault of another. The trial continues. The three main indexes drifted lower early in the day, but reversed course after Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen hinted that rates could rise as early as next month. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% to 2,337.5 for its sixth straight day of gains. The Dow Jones rose 0.5% to 20,504.4, while the Nasdaq rose 0.3%, to 5,782.5. Banks, expected to gain from higher interest rates, were among the main gainers. Goldman Sachs rose 1.29% and Bank of America added 2.82%. General Motors jumped 4.8% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500 following news that France's PSA Group, maker of Peugeot and Citroen cars, is exploring a deal to buy Opel, GM's money-losing European business. Eight of the 11 major S&P sectors rose, with the healthcare segment adding 0.73%. Apple rose as high as $135.09, an intraday record, before ending with a gain of 1.30% at $135.02, its highest-ever closing price. Speaking at a film festival in his home town of Malaga, the Mask of Zorro star said: "I suffered a heart attack on January 26, but it wasn't serious and hasn't caused any damage." Banderas, 56, had three stents put in his arteries but insisted the incident had not been "dramatic". He added that he was well and keen to return to work. Banderas accepted a lifetime achievement award at the festival, recognising his career as an actor, producer and director. He performed a flamenco on stage as he picked up the Biznaga de Oro Honorifica trophy. His recent visit to a Swiss clinic had led to speculation about his health, but a spokeswoman had said last week that he was in "perfectly good health". At the time of the heart attack, Banderas, also known for roles in the Shrek films and Philadelphia, was taken to hospital near his home in Surrey. He tweeted a picture taken in the countryside with girlfriend Nicole Kimpel a few days later, saying he was "enjoying nature after a startle".

"Er bod menywod yn cymryd cyfnod mamolaeth mae hynny'n cael ei dderbyn fel y norm - fi oedd y person cyntaf i gymryd absenoldeb rhiant wedi ei rannu yn fy rhan i o'r brifysgol, felly roedd e'n anarferol," meddai. "Os ydw i'n arwain y ffordd, dwi'n arwain y ffordd. Dwi ddim yn teimlo felly. Dwi jyst yn trio gwneud y gorau ar gyfer fy nheulu." Dywedodd Jennifer Liston-Smith o My Family Care, sydd yn cynghori cyflogwyr i fod yn fwy hyblyg tuag at deuluoedd: "I ddod allan, fel petai, fel rhywun sydd eisiau rhannu'r gwaith o fod yn rhiant, yn enwedig i ddynion o ddiwylliant busnes mae'n gallu bod yn wahanol ac maen nhw am feddwl am bethau - ydi hyn am effeithio ar eu gyrfa? "Mae unrhyw beth fel hyn yn mynd i gymryd amser i ddod yn fwy poblogaidd." Ychwanegodd fod rhai tadau yn defnyddio absenoldeb rhiant wedi ei rannu - sydd yn gallu cael ei gymryd mewn nifer o gyfnodau llai, ac ar yr un pryd â'r fam - fel rhywbeth ychwanegol i gyfnod tadolaeth. "Beth sy'n tueddu digwydd yw bod partner yn cymryd yr absenoldeb tadolaeth statudol ac yna pythefnos, pedair wythnos o absenoldeb rhiant wedi ei rannu pan mae'r babi yn cyrraedd gyntaf. "Yna tuag at ddiwedd y cyfnod tadolaeth fe allai'r partner gymryd cyfnod arall o absenoldeb, ond un sydd ddim yn golygu bod i ffwrdd o'r gwaith yn rhy hir." An investigation started after claims some children had seen an exam paper before taking the test in Plymouth. Devon and Cornwall Police said it will take no action against the alleged security breach. The exam board, GL Assessment, is continuing its own inquiry. The maths and English exams are for school places in September 2017. A letter sent to parents by Plymouth City Council said "at least one of the papers has been compromised" and earlier examinations "were declared null and void". The 400 students re-sitting the exams are hoping to gain a place at Devonport High School for Girls and Plymouth High School for Girls. Student Daisy Adams, from Plymouth, said: "I'm very happy because I might get a better score than I was going to get." Her mother, Sharyn Partridge, said: "The re-taking is the best way forward, its the fairest option for all the girls involved. "It's none of the girls fault what's happened. Everyone re-takes and everyone has a fair chance." Two rows of neatly-trimmed shrubbery and trees line the courtyard leading to the stately-looking, white building with a Republic of China (Taiwan) flag on top. But inside, the picture is very different. In fact, while parliamentary brawls occur occasionally in other countries, Taiwan's Legislative Yuan is notorious for them. Rowdy and sometimes violent scuffles occur as often as several times a year and even every few days or weeks. Punching, hair pulling, throwing plastic bottles and water balloons, as well as splashing cups of water on the faces of rival party legislators are common scenes. Air-horns and filibustering - more like shouting - are also used to drown out one's opponents. 23 March 2004: A scuffle erupted between the ruling and opposition party members over vote recounts from the presidential election. 7 May 2004: Legislator Zhu Xingyu grabbed legislator William Lai and tried to wrestle him onto a desk and headbutt him, and jabbed him in the stomach, due to disagreements over legislative procedures. 26 October 2004: A food fight took place between the opposition and ruling party during a debate on a military hardware purchase ordinance. 30 May 2006: Then opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator Wang Shu-hui snatched a written proposal and shoved it into her mouth to prevent voting on allowing direct transportation links with Mainland China. Ruling party members tried to force her to cough it up by pulling her hair. She later spat it out but tore it up. 8 May 2007: Several members of the ruling DPP and opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party fought over control of the Speaker's podium, with some throwing punches and spraying water over an alleged delay of the annual budget. At least one person was admitted to hospital. However this month's fights have become even uglier. Last Thursday, legislators lifted up and threw chairs at each other when they brawled over the ruling DPP's massive $29bn (£22bn) infrastructure spending bill, which the opposition (headed by the KMT) claims benefits cities and counties loyal to the DPP and is aimed at helping the party win forthcoming elections. The fighting continued on Tuesday in a legislative committee meeting. The opposition KMT legislators wrestled DPP members to the floor and unplugged the cables of loud speakers to prevent the DPP from putting the bill through a committee review to move it towards passage into law. Opposition parties, a minority in the 113-seat parliament, see physical fights as the only way to stop legislation they oppose, by blocking them from being voted on. The standoffs can last for hours, even into the middle of the night. Legislators take turns eating or delay meals. Many staff from local governments, ministries or government agencies have to be there, to see if legislation that affects them might pass, or to be on hand to answer questions in case there is actual discussion and debating, not just brawling. These people find ways to put up with the chaotic scenes. Some cover their ears, others focus on their smartphones, and a few smart ones find the most comfortable couches in the back and manage to sleep through it all. It's become a normal part of Taiwan's democracy - one of the most vibrant in the world. But the fights shouldn't be taken too seriously, says a local journalist who covers parliament on a daily basis. He wished to be identified only by his first name. "The legislators are partly acting - trying to show their constituents they're working hard to fight for their cause," said Danny. However, he and other Taiwanese people say the brawls - with some broadcasted worldwide - are humiliating and do not advance democracy. "The fights only allow the people to see the surface, not real issues. People often don't even understand the bills," said Danny. He admitted that many journalists don't either. This current infrastructure bill is 10,000 pages long; it's impossible for them to read through all of it. "If the legislators actually debate the contents of the bill instead of fight, the public might understand it better," said Danny. "I majored in politics in college. This is not what I had expected." But only Park Place in Cathays will be closed to all traffic until 00:00 BST on Friday. It will become a street market and host a transport exhibition giving information on sustainable travel. While all commuters will be encouraged to leave their cars at home in a move designed to combat air pollution, no other areas will be closed off. Jane Lorimer, director of cycle charity Sustrans Cymru said it was a "positive first step". Councillors backed plans to ban cars in the city centre for one day each year, to cut air pollution, last October. But cabinet member Ramesh Patel said it would be "grossly irresponsible" to widen the area before the first plan had been reviewed. He added: "With the new bus interchange developing, a cycling strategy being produced, planned investment in our railways and future plans for the metro, sustainable transport is a major priority for the council. "Making walking, cycling and public transport more attractive and viable options for commuters and residents are integral to Cardiff's continued development and achieving our aspiration to become Europe's most liveable capital city." Car-free days already take place in Delhi, Paris and London. It is claimed air pollution is linked to tens of thousands of deaths in the UK annually. Financier James Stunt - the son-in-law of Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone - decided to step aside after witnessing "the people's passion" to keep the painting in the UK. The painting has now been offered to the National Portrait Gallery for £10m, down from the original price of £12.5m. So far the campaign has raised £3.6m. The National Portrait Gallery and the Art Fund launched the Save Van Dyck campaign in November. Since then it has received donations from more than 8,000 members of the public. 'When I agreed to buy this great portrait I didn't expect the huge swell of public opinion and the strength of emotion its export would generate," said Stunt, who had planned to hang the portrait in his Los Angeles home. He added that he had "carefully reconsidered" his position and hoped that his withdrawal, together with the reduced price, would see the appeal succeed. The appeal now has four months to raise the remaining £6.4m, before the deadline of 20 July. Flemish artist Van Dyck came to work in England in 1632 at the invitation of King Charles I. This painting, which dates back to 1640 - shortly before the artist died - has been described as "one of the finest and most important self-portraits" in British art. The price was reduced following discussions with Stunt, current owner Alfred Bader and art dealer Philip Mould, who were impressed by the public support to keep the painting in the UK. A joint statement from the Art Fund and National Portrait Gallery called it a "significant boost", which gave them "an improved chance of ensuring that the portrait remains on public display forever". The work was in a private collection for almost 400 years before it was sold at auction in 2009. It is believed to have been sold again in the interim. When Stunt announced his intention to buy the painting, the Government issued a temporary export bar allowing campaigners time to try and save it for the nation. The application process for an export licence has now been halted. "Watching the public reaction to Van Dyck's self-portrait develop in this unprecedented way has been amazing, and, for this lover of British historical portraiture, reassuring," said dealer Mould. "The picture has become an iconic focal point, and for many the thought of it going to the United States would be like losing a chunk of Stonehenge." Currently on show at the National Portrait Gallery, the painting will embark on a three-year of the UK tour if it is saved. The Big Lottery Fund grant for the facility at Lincluden will finance a programme of repairs and upgrades. The work includes new lighting, replacement windows and doors and internal and external redecoration. Manager Lynn Uygun said it would revitalise the centre which plays host to a wide variety of activities and organisations. "This funding will ensure the community centre's future for years to come. Planned works have already attracted two organisations to bring their projects to the centre," she said. "People from all age groups will benefit from more comfortable surroundings and we will be able to hold more community events, helping to encourage an interest and pride in the refurbished centre." BLF Scotland's Maureen McGinn said the Our Place funding was a "different way" of investing lottery money, based around local priorities. "I wish the people of Dumfries the very best as they work to bring their vision to life," she said. Survivors say the power was the first thing to go after the blast which preceded the blaze in Pakistan's commercial capital. "There was an immediate scramble for the exit - leading to chaos," a survivor told the BBC. "People piled on top of each other - some got crushed as there was just one way out and so many people. "Everybody was screaming and pushing - it was pure panic and fear. I thought I was going to die." Those who could not get out tried breaking through the iron-barred windows at the Ali Enterprises factory. For many, fear of imminent death put paid to any misgivings about jumping 6m (20ft) to escape - leading to many broken bones. But these were the lucky ones - those still trapped inside were faced with a horrific choice: suffocation or incineration. Rescue workers had by that time started arriving on the scene. They were able to get dozens of people out of the front of the building. Local residents and relatives of those inside also arrived to help. Their numbers grew so big that at one point they hampered the rescue effort. Police had to stop distraught relatives from going into the factory - by now a death trap - in search of their loved ones. Brothers and sons, sisters and wives were seen urging rescue workers to do more, while simultaneously trying to venture into the premises themselves. This led to some ugly altercations - until more security personnel arrived and brought the crowd under control. Meanwhile, the fire had become a raging inferno, dwarfing the cries of workers trapped in the factory. Later Karachi's fire chief admitted to reporters that the rescue effort had been hampered by a lack of resources. At one point the fire engines ran out of water. Fire fighting equipment in general appears to have been minimal at the factory - fire exits had not been built or were shut to make space for storage. Training the staff was probably never a consideration - although it remains part of Pakistan's industrial safety laws. Eventually, the navy's fire fighting team was called in - but by then it was too late for most of those trapped in the building. Karachi fire chief Ehtesham Salim later told journalists that aerial water spraying may have helped and the authorities had at one point considered calling in the air force. Ironically it had been raining in Karachi for a week - the only exception being on the evening the inferno broke out. Although the fire was brought under control on Wednesday, late into the evening rescue workers were still digging through the debris of the building for bodies and any survivors. The structure itself is near collapse - the debris being slowly excavated to make sure those still inside are not crushed. The source of the fire is thought to have been a faulty electrical switch. A case has been registered against the owner - and police officials say they have launched an investigation. But it is clear to those who have seen such disasters in the past that the sheer human cost in this blaze was not just the result of an accident. For many it was years in the making - and possibly the biggest industrial fire in Pakistan's history. The Hub river massacre - as people are now calling the garment factory blaze - dwarfs others in scale, but the circumstances of the fire have unfortunately been replayed across Pakistan often of late. In this case the factory was a recipe for tragedy - its low-ceiling halls were crammed with machines manned by workers toiling away in sweat shop conditions to produce top-of-the-line, ready-to-wear garments which earned the factory owners millions of dollars annually. The workers, on the other hand, go home with $5 to $6 a day. There are no other benefits. As the factory's profits turned to ashes, Karachi's Civil Hospital was besieged by hundreds of grieving relatives desperately searching for their loved ones among dozens of bodies, many burnt beyond recognition. In the commercial sector it is not just textile mills - industries across Pakistan are more prone than ever to disasters, many here feel. In pictures: Deadly Karachi fire Although fires cause the main damage, it is not unknown for poorly constructed premises to collapse on top of workers or residents. In general, the problem is the same that plagues all matters of governance in Pakistan - a failure to enforce the law. Whether it is an industrial disaster, a road accident or an air crash - the common denominator is the lack of adequate safety checks. Textile factories are particularly at risk due to the lethal combination of chemical dyes and stacks of cotton often stored next to each other - ensuring a deadly result. Fire exits - as in the case of the factory in Karachi - exist only on paper. That - along with the congested construction of the industrial zones - prevents escape and multiplies the death toll. The city administration itself has a limited number of fire engines to serve the growing needs of the sprawling metropolis. Lahore fares a little better in terms of equipment but is no better in terms of enforcement of standards or disaster management. Observers see a common pattern. Industrial standards are disregarded to minimise cost as inspectors are paid to look the other way. Small and potentially easily rectifiable problems are made worse by years of official neglect. Mistakes are covered up only to be repeated a few months later. That is why many fear disasters such as the Karachi fire are on the rise in Pakistan. Tim and Ros Birch, from Derbyshire, want an "urgent clean up" at Porth Neigwl beach, also known as Hell's Mouth, near Abersoch. "This is such a stunning beach," said Mr Birch. "The plastic clearly shows the pollution crisis in our oceans." Gwynedd council said there is regular beach cleaning at Porth Neigwl. Keep Wales Tidy hosted a cleaning event in February but rubbish from as far away as France and Spain has since washed up on the Llyn Peninsula beach. Mr and Mrs Birch have already spent two days out of their ten-day break to Aberdaron picking up litter on the beach and plan to return again before the end of their holiday. Mr Birch, a former Greenpeace worker, said the pollution was "shocking" and worse than anything he had seen on beaches in developing countries. "We need action," he added. "This plastic is a major threat to local wildlife and also is not good for the tourist industry. This beach is part of the Wales coastal path. "We urge Gwynedd council to clean the beach up but recognise this is a massive ongoing job given the amount of plastic in our oceans." A Gwynedd council spokesman said: "Regular beach cleaning events are held at Porth Neigwl, primarily by a volunteer group which has adopted the beach. "All the litter that is gathered by the group is collected and disposed of by Gwynedd Council. "Porth Neigwl is west-facing and is open to prevailing winds and currents and so is very prone to significant deposits of waste materials such as plastics which have been dumped elsewhere and carried by the tide." The Bears, looking to emulate their County Championship triumph in 2012, are notoriously slow starters. But, in his first season as captain, after replacing Varun Chopra, Bell, 33, admits they have no excuses. "It is the first time for a long time that we will have everybody available for the start of a season," said Bell. Such has been Warwickshire's contribution to England's ranks for a decade, they have regularly been without Bell, Jonathan Trott, and Chris Woakes, as well as occasional international calls for Boyd Rankin, Chris Wright and Rikki Clarke. "Usually we have been without a couple of myself, Trotty and Woakesie," added Bell. "But we will have Woakesie for the first few weeks, so we're going to have a lot of competition. For the early matches at least, we're going to have to leave out two very good seam bowlers. It will allow us to rotate our seamers the way Yorkshire have done to such good effect in the last couple of years. We won't have to flog our bowlers in the first few weeks." Director of cricket Dougie Brown added: "We're injury free. It's the first time in a long time we've been able to say that. But we're very buoyant. "It's important to get out of the blocks fast. We've got five Championship games in six weeks and we've got Yorkshire and Middlesex in that. There are no gimmies. "With Surrey and Lancashire coming up, the First Division is now as tough as it's ever been. Every game we play is huge." Brown knows that any early-season success for Warwickshire could prove a double-edged sword - if Ian Bell and Chris Woakes do well and improve their England hopes. Bell, dropped by England prior to the South Africa series after 7,727 runs in 118 Tests, still hopes for a recall, as none of his fellow contenders have notably flourished this winter. And Brown will be as delighted as anybody if that happens. "Speaking selfishly, we're delighted we have Belly back with us," Brown told BBC Sport. "Whether it is for all of the season, some of it or just a little part of it. "But we know both he and Chris Woakes have their own aspirations and we hope they get their season off and running." And, if Bell does win back his England place, then Brown has a Plan 'B' in terms of who would lead the side. "Chris Woakes would take over the reins in four-day cricket," he revealed. "And it would be Will Porterfield in one-day cricket." Following their pre-season trip to Dubai, in which they played two T20 friendlies with West Indies, the newly crowned world champions, and a two-day match with neighbours Worcestershire, the Bears opened the domestic season with a first-class friendly against Leeds/Bradford MCCU. They lost the whole of the third day to bad weather but still got in some good batting practice to reach 350-8, thanks to half-centuries from former captains Chopra (86) and Ian Westwood (75) and wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose (54). Keith Barker (3-61), Woakes (2-58) and Rankin (2-42) then contributed as the Yorkshire students replied with 291-9, including 62 from Billy Root, England star Joe Root's younger brother. When the Bears went back in, Sam Hain was out fourth ball but Trott, who made 47 in the first innings, hit his first six scoring shots for four. He made 29, backed by 16 from Woakes as the pair remained unparted on 45-1 on the second and what turned out to be final day. The Bears complete their preparations on Tuesday and Wednesday this week with another two-day friendly against local rivals Worcestershire, ahead of Sunday's trip to Southampton. Though it is the most common male cancer, prostate cancer is 20th in the league table of research funding, says Prostate Cancer UK, which is launching a campaign to highlight the issue. It has been said that the disease will be the UK's most common cancer by 2030. The Department of Health said prostate cancer was a key target of its efforts to improve cancer survival rates. Comedian Bill Bailey will front the campaign being launched by Prostate Cancer UK. Owen Sharp, the charity's chief executive, said: "Prostate cancer is simply not on the radar in the UK. Even though it kills one man every hour - that's 10,000 men each year - most men and women don't know enough about it. "We need to follow the lead of the successful female movement against breast cancer and create a real change for men." According to the charity, breast cancer - the most common female cancer, which has a similar death rate to prostate cancer - received more than double the annual research spend - £853 per breast cancer case diagnosed, compared to £417 for prostate cancer. Leukaemia got the most research funding - £3,903 per case diagnosed - charitable and government funds data for 2009 and 2011 show. Every year in the UK, over 40,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. Although it is one of the more treatable types of cancer, particularly if diagnosed early, one man dies every hour from it, says Prostate Cancer UK. Dr Julie Sharp of Cancer Research UK said: "We fund the best science we can to make the greatest impact - we don't have quotas for specific types of cancer. "Last year, Cancer Research UK spent £332 million on research into cancers that affect both men and women, including basic research that can help improve our understanding of all cancers, and we spent nearly £20 million of this specifically on prostate cancer research. "We want to bring closer the day when all cancers are cured and it's research that will help us to do this." Prostate cancer rates have been rising, partly because men are living longer (cancer risk increases with age) and also because more cancers are being detected through widespread use of PSA testing. A Department of Health spokesperson said: "As part of our commitment to improving cancer survival, including ensuring better treatments for all patients, we have invested £104 million into cancer research over the past year. "Improving outcomes for men with cancer will be essential in meeting this aim. That is why we are investing £35 million in the biggest publicly funded clinical trial ever to take place in this country to look at the effectiveness of treatments for prostate cancer." Emergency services were called just after 20:00 GMT on Monday to UPM Shotton, formerly Shotton Paper mill, on Deeside Industrial Park. Six appliances tackled a blaze in the recycling plant room for hour hours, with the fire extinguished just after midnight. No-one was hurt and the firm said there was no loss of production. It is thought the fire broke out in a waste residue holding bay in the materials recovery facility. General manager David Ingham added: "We are grateful to the emergency services who responded in a timely and professional manner to bring the situation under control." Ali, born and educated in Bristol, was recently on trial at Hampshire and also played for the MCC Young Cricketers. He died after getting into difficulties while swimming in the River Avon on Wednesday evening. "We would like to extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to Hamza's family at this very sad time," MCC head coach Steve Kirby said. "In the short time he was with the squad, he made quite an impact on all of us, on and off the field, with his friendly, positive outlook. "Hamza greatly impressed us with his energy, enthusiasm and exceptional all-round talent." Police say they were called to the river at Saltford in Somerset at 17:20 BST on Wednesday and although Ali taken to hospital for treatment, he later died. Ali made his first-class debut for Hampshire in April against Cardiff MCCU, taking 2-59 in the match. Hampshire players will wear black armbands as a mark of respect during their T20 Blast match against Surrey at The Oval later on Thursday. Speaking about Ali, Hampshire all-rounder Gareth Berg told BBC Radio Solent: "A fantastic lad and it's a real shame to hear of the news. He was 100% committed as a bowler and as a player. "I captained him a couple of weeks ago. He's been trialling and playing a few second team games with us. "He was a pleasure to captain as I haven't seen many trialists like him at his age, that knew exactly what he wanted to do with the ball. "It's a real shame as he was a talented cricketer and I was really hoping that good things would come to him." The accident happened shortly after 17:30 on Tuesday on the A832 between the Tore roundabout and Muir of Ord. The man who died was in his 30s and driving a blue Mazda 6. The driver of a black Volkswagen Golf, a man in his 40s, was taken to Raigmore Hospital with serious injuries. A white Toyota Hilux was also involved in the collision but no one else was injured. Police have appealed for witnesses. She was arrested at about 05:15 BST on Sunday after "concerns were raised" about the man at a flat in Ermington Terrace, Mutley. Police, who called it an "isolated incident", said the suspect had been bailed pending further inquiries. The man has not yet been named by police who have been in touch with his relatives. Det Insp Julie Scoles said: "We are appealing for anyone who may have information to contact us." Mike Hammond, who lives next to the flat where officers were called to, said it was very rare for police to be called to the area. "It's a really quiet neighbourhood," he said. On the outskirts of the Mexican state of San Luis Potosi, the skeletal remains of the partially constructed Ford plant loom over the desert. To the residents of the small towns surrounding the site it's a constant reminder of a failed economic promise. For Jose Puebla Ortiz, who sold his plot of land to Ford, it's still painful to think of the economic prosperity his family could have had. Mr Puebla Ortiz used the proceeds from the sale to buy a truck. He expected to work as a private contractor during the plant's construction, but since the company cancelled its plans he has struggled to find regular high-paying work. "When Ford arrived and we thought everything would be good... there was investment and there was money," he says. Now that investment has dried up. "[Ford] decided to pull out and overnight they told us, 'it's over, we're not continuing, we're leaving, this is cancelled.' And, well, there was nothing we could do." More stories from the BBC's global trade series looking at trade from an international perspective: 'You don't have to be a squillionaire to buy art' The slimming pills that put me in hospital How Scottish salmon conquered the world Read more global trade series here. In January, Ford announced it was cancelling plans to spend $1.6bn (£1.2bn) building a factory in here in central Mexico. The company's chief executive at the time, Mark Fields, said the decision related to the declining sales of small cars the company was intending to build at the new plant. But he also admitted that Donald Trump's presidential victory and the "improved business climate" the company expected as a result was a factor. During the campaign and since assuming the presidency Mr Trump has expressed his anger at car companies such as GM and Toyota for using Mexican plants to build cars sold in the US. He has called for the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) to be renegotiated, blaming it for the loss of US jobs. The agreement - which came into effect between the US, Canada and Mexico in 1994 - created one of the world's largest free trade zones by reducing or eliminating tariffs on most products. It is that kind of executive pressure that has residents here worried. "It's because of [Donald Trump] that the plant wasn't made here - he said if he became president he'd take it away. He became president and he followed through," says Fidel Ribera, who had been working on the construction of the Ford plant. For many in San Luis Potosi, Mr Trump's presidency is seen as a real threat. But most economists, politicians and industry observers think his calls to pull out of or rework Nafta are all talk. "There's a learning curve," says Eduardo Soliz Sanchez, head of Mexico's car trade body AMIA. He says the checks and balances in the US government, where the different branches of government hold equal authority and offset one another, and the interdependence of the car industry across the Nafta members will keep the deal alive. "Someone should explain to Mr Trump," says Manuel Molano from the Mexican Competitiveness Institute. "Maybe you started with an oil molecule in Mexico. That becomes some plastic [part] and goes up north to the US, and becomes a more sophisticated part of a car. [Then the piece] goes back south and becomes a motor, and then goes back up and becomes a complete car." On average car parts made in North America cross the US border to Mexico or Canada eight times. And that could mean that restricting Nafta or imposing border taxes on car parts made in the US's neighbours could cost American jobs. Mexican officials are betting the US won't shoot itself in the foot even as its new president tries to change his country's role in the global economy. It's a bet they can't afford to lose. The car sector makes up 6% of Mexico's gross domestic product and 25% of its exports. In just over 20 years Mexico has gone from a relatively insular economy to the fourth largest car exporter - behind Germany, South Korea and Japan. Economist Jonathan Heath says Nafta "cemented" the opening of Mexico's economy. "That is when the auto industry started to flourish. Now almost every single carmaker in the world is present in Mexico," Mr Heath says. It is not just Nafta that has attracted companies such as BMW, Nissan and General Motors. Mexico has trade deals with 45 countries and its position on the US border, with access to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, makes it an ideal trading hub for carmakers. But any changes to its deal with the US would still be a big blow. Mexico exported 77% of the cars it made to the US last year. Still AMIA head Mr Soliz Sanchez admits that after 23 years Nafta would benefit from being updated. He says his group, which represents Mexico's car and car parts makers, would be okay with "deepening and modernising" the trade agreement. But for Mexicans who have benefited from its influence, changes to the deal pose a risk. "We have people from the community here working in BMW, in General Motors," says Mr Ortiz. "That's what we imagined with Ford - that there'd be a lot of work so there'd be enough for all the boys. But there's nothing we can do, this was cancelled. Ford was cancelled." Mr Ortiz's village is thousands of miles from Washington DC, but the decisions and the rhetoric coming from the US is having a direct impact on him and his neighbours. While the car industry as a whole may not be turning its back on Mexico, the uncertainty is casting a shadow over the livelihoods of Mexicans that rely on the sector. Slade has begun to recapture the form he showed before he broke his leg against Wasps in December 2015. The 23-year-old has been linked as replacement for George Ford, who has been tipped to leave the Rec. "I've had a couple of chats with Henry and we've had a bit of a joke about the rumours flying around," said Baxter. He told BBC Sport: "There is no truth in the rumour about him having any interest in going to Bath." In July, Slade agreed a deal with the Chiefs until 2019. England head coach Eddie Jones was critical of Slade's form late last season, saying it was difficult to judge if he had the quality to be a Test player because of the position he was starting for Exeter. "Also, if he does end up playing at 10 it won't be because we're being told by Eddie Jones that he needs to play at 10," added Baxter of versatile Slade, who has predominantly played at centre for the Chiefs because of the form of fly-half and captain Gareth Steenson. "And he won't be playing 10 because I'm worried that if we don't play him at 10 he'll go and play for Bath because they're losing George Ford. "It's not unsettling to us as a club, to me or to Henry. I don't believe for one instance it's unsettling for Bath or the other clubs that get linked into their rumours. "I don't know anything about the George Ford scenario, but Bath will know what's going on. "It won't be unsettling for them about what's happening with George Ford because they'll know exactly what the scenario is, just like us it's not unsettling for me to read anything about Henry because I know he's under contract here, I know he's fully committed to us, he's desperate to do things for us, play well for us and to win things." Following Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Lithuania, the national side slumped to a damaging 3-0 loss in Slovakia on Tuesday. It leaves Scotland fourth in Group F after three matches, three points behind leaders England, with a visit to Wembley next up on 11 November. Having failed to reach an extended European Championship, pressure is mounting on the 59-year-old, who agreed a two-year contract in the summer. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Strachan has received emphatic backing from fellow managers in the Scottish Premiership. Media playback is not supported on this device "Gordon is an excellent manager with big experience. "I don't know Gordon that well but I think he's perfectly suited to be the manager of Scotland. "Wonderful experience as a manager. He's shown at many clubs, including this club here that he can get the best out of players. "There's maybe deeper rooted issues and problems in Scottish football. But I haven't been here long enough to see what they might be. "But when you're the manager you're always under the spotlight. He's a good guy whenever I've spoken to him and he's certainly got a good knowledge of football both domestic and international." Media playback is not supported on this device "It saddens me and angers me, this clamour from certain people saying Gordon should lose his job. "We've appointed a manager for this campaign and, while the momentum is important in groups, we are still capable of qualifying. "I don't even think we need to win at Wembley. A positive result there would help. "We should get behind the manager. We should get behind the team. I understand criticism but we've only lost one game. "Gordon was the right man for the job and he's still the right man." Media playback is not supported on this device "We are still in the group. We still have a chance of qualifying. "There is a huge game coming up at Wembley so let's try and get behind the team and not be too negative about it. It's easy to be negative but harder to be positive. "Negativity is not helping anyone at all. I hope Gordon is still in charge. He has done a good job. Everybody talks about changing this and changing that. We are only three games into a campaign. But we are already talking about not qualifying. "It's disappointing. In years gone by we were going into campaigns hoping and expecting to qualify. Now there is a negativity that is creeping in and it's not doing anyone any good. Be positive. "We have a lot of good young players coming through. It's going to take time to develop. If you look at the Slovakian team, the midfield three are playing at Sampdoria, AC Milan and Napoli. They have ninety-odd caps and we expect to turn these teams over? "I think our players are tested enough. In previous years young players weren't getting game time. They are now. Let's be patient and the team will come good. Things aren't going to change overnight."

Rovers won on Friday night to move a point ahead of the Candystripes, who were beaten 3-1 by leaders Dundalk. "The boys were a bit down after the defeat but we're up for this game, it's a pivotal one," said Shiels. "We have to play with passion, drive and energy - we're going to out to win and to do it in style." Both teams have five games remaining with the Dubliners occupying third place in the League of Ireland table, which will ensure European football next season. Derry take on Rovers before completing their league programme with games against Longford, Bohemians, Sligo Rovers and St Pat's Athletic. City will aim to capitalise on home advantage, having played just one of their last seven matches at the Brandywell. "It's great to be back in the city and hopefully give our fans something to cheer about," added Shiels. "We've had nine away games in nine weeks and it's been hard on the players, while our next two after this one are also on the road. "We're going to give them a tough match and we need to have our game heads on from the first whistle." The body of Adrian Greenwood, 42, was discovered by his cleaner in the hallway of his four-storey house in Iffley Road on Thursday. He had been stabbed several times in the chest and neck. Thames Valley Police said a 26-year-old man being held on suspicion of murder was released without charge on Saturday afternoon. A post-mortem examination confirmed Mr Greenwood died "following a vicious and sustained attack". The murder weapon has not yet been found. The last sighting of Mr Greenwood was at Sainsbury's supermarket in Oxford Road, Kidlington, at about 18:00 BST on Tuesday. Police are appealing for people who knew him to come forward to enable detectives to build up a picture of his life and associates. Det Supt Chris Ward said: "We know Mr Greenwood had a number of businesses so anyone that had dealt with him from a business point of view or anybody that had a personal relationship with him - we will treat all of that information sensitively. "I think the answers lay in his personal life and his business connections and that's why I'm appealing for people to come forward that knew him". Mr Greenwood was an Oxford graduate who had written two historical biographies and traded rare and antiquarian books as well as art. In 2011, he spoke to the BBC ahead of an auction of Banksy artworks in Oxford, where he sold a locked 1970s safe stencilled by the artist. Mr Greenwood was also in the news in 2010 when his limited first edition of a Harry Potter book was stolen from an art gallery in Woodstock. It was later found in a carrier bag outside a shop in Abingdon. The pair, who both work for Edinburgh council but were not named in court, were found guilty of contempt in 2013. A sheriff ruled they were in contempt for failing to obey a court order for a mother to have weekly contact with her sons, who had been taken into care. But a judgement from the Court of Session has overturned that decision. Three senior judges found there had been serious concerns for the wellbeing of the children and that the social workers, who were in a "difficult situation", had the best interests of the youngsters at heart. In his ruling, judge Lord Malcolm said that a decision made by the social worker to suspend contact "out of a genuinely held concern" of risk to the children, could not be categorised as contempt of court. The social workers, named in court papers as AB and CD, are "senior and experienced" employees who were found in contempt over their failure to obey a court order from May 2013. Earlier that year, a children's hearing reduced contact between the mother and her boys, who were in care, from weekly to monthly. But she appealed to the sheriff, who granted weekly contact with each child. In July 2013, AB suspended contact, a decision approved by CD, her immediate superior. AB referred to the boys being "distressed, distraught and at times traumatised" and wrote that it was her view" that the weekly contact could not be continued in good conscience, knowing the dire effect it has been having on both children". Following a complaint letter from the mother's solicitor, the sheriff ultimately found that both social workers had failed to obey the court and found them guilty of a contempt of the authority of the court. No penalty was imposed but they were found liable for the expenses of the proceedings. The three Court of Session judges unanimously ruled in favour of the social workers on Friday. Quashing the contempt ruling, Lord Malcolm said: "The court should be sensitive to the difficult situation in which these, and no doubt the other social workers involved, were placed. "In the context of their long involvement in the case, and the burden of a duty to safeguard the welfare of the children, they adopted a precautionary approach." Several other members of the family are also on trial over the allegations. Mr Wildenstein is accused of hiding assets worth hundreds of millions of euros, exposed after claims by the first wife of his brother Alec and other members of the family. If convicted, he could face 10 years in jail. The trial has been dubbed "Dallas-upon-Seine" by some of the media in Paris, the BBC's Lucy Williamson reports. The story behind this trial extends back through almost 20 years of public scandal and family intrigue, involving a dynasty with vast assets and deep rifts between its members, our correspondent says. The family estate includes a host of famous paintings, properties in the Caribbean, racehorses, and a ranch in Kenya made famous in the film Out of Africa. The level of secrecy around the family fortune was first uncovered in messy divorce proceedings between Guy's brother Alec Wildenstein and his then-wife, Jocelyn -nicknamed the "Bride of Wildenstein" because of her extensive plastic surgery. Ten years later in 2008, after Alec's death, Guy Wildenstein declared an inheritance of $61 million (£41.5m; €56m). But repeated claims by other women who had married into the family led investigators to look again at the Wildenstein finances in 2010. Guy Wildenstein gave a rare interview three months ago in which he denied wrongdoing and said he hoped he would not be made into a "scapegoat". The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) had forecast that the auction would raise £3.5bn for the Treasury. The winning bidders are Everything Everywhere; Hutchison 3G UK; Niche Spectrum Ventures, a BT subsidiary; Telefonica (O2); and Vodafone. 4G mobile broadband should provide smartphone and tablet computer users with superfast download speeds. The auction netted far less than the £22bn raised from the 3G auction in 2000. Ed Richards, Ofcom chief executive, told the BBC that the figure was lower because "we are in very, very different times", but he insisted that maximising the size of the auction was not the objective it was set by the government. "What we were trying to do was ensure that a valuable economic resource was brought into productive commercial use," he said. The shortfall has important political implications, because Chancellor George Osborne included £3.5bn worth of 4G auction receipts in his Autumn Statement in December. BBC political producer Andrew Fagg says this allowed Mr Osborne to play the "trump card" of predicting that the UK's budget deficit would fall in 2012-13. However, economists have now pointed out that without that full amount, borrowing would have been going up. "The lower-than-expected windfall means that all bets must now be off on whether the deficit will in fact come down," says our producer. "Next month's Budget will reveal the answer." Responding to the announcement, a Treasury spokesperson said: "The £3.5bn number at Autumn Statement 2012 was certified by the independent OBR and based on external expert independent analysis based on similar auctions, including the last 3G one. More from Rory "The final auction revenue will be accounted for at Budget in the usual way." The OBR in its turn said it had described the £3.5bn "Government's estimate" as "an area of particular uncertainty" in its December 2012 forecast. But Rachel Reeves MP, Labour's shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, said: "This is yet another blow to George Osborne's failing economic plan. It shows how foolish and short-termist the chancellor was to bank this cash in the Autumn Statement to make his borrowing figures look less bad. "He couldn't bring himself to admit that borrowing was up so far this year, but his trickery has now badly backfired." Even senior Tories took the opportunity to criticise Chancellor George Osborne's figures. John Redwood, MP, said: "The figure for the 4G auction was optimistic, just like most of the numbers in George Osborne's strategy. This is a dent, but there are far bigger dents in the public finances." Ofcom says 4G will provide £20bn of benefits for UK consumers over the next 10 years. But the culture secretary, Maria Miller, is even more bullish, saying: "Spectrum use is worth more than £50bn to the UK economy and 4G mobile broadband is a key part of our digital growth strategy, so I am delighted the auction has been completed." The regulator auctioned the spectrum in two bands, 800MHz and 2.6GHz, equivalent to two-thirds of the radio frequencies currently used by wireless devices, such as tablet computers, smartphones and laptops. This "will allow 4G networks to achieve widespread coverage as well as offering capacity to cope with significant demand in urban centres", said Mr Richards. "4G coverage will extend far beyond that of existing 3G services, covering 98% of the UK population indoors - and even more when outdoors - which is good news for parts of the country currently underserved by mobile broadband", he said. Vodafone bid £791m, the most of all the bidders, for five chunks of spectrum; EE, the T-Mobile and Orange joint venture formerly called Everything Everywhere, paid £589m for four chunks. EE was the first to launch a 4G service in late 2012, but has struggled to attract users, leading it to run a cut-price special offer in January. Its chief executive, Olaf Swantee, said: "One in four consumers and businesses are already buying this service when they are in a 4G area." A warning light came on in the cockpit of the helicopter just a few minutes into a flight to an offshore platform last Tuesday. The Airbus EC225LP "Super Puma" crashed near Bergen on Friday. A Scottish man killed in the crash has been confirmed as 41-year-old oil worker Iain Stuart. Mr Stuart, from Laurencekirk in Aberdeenshire, worked for the oil field services company Halliburton. In a statement, his family said they were "devastated" at his loss. "Iain was a loving husband and devoted father to his two children and as a family we are heartbroken. He was a caring son, brother, uncle and friend to many," they said. "We are appreciative of all the messages of support and kind thoughts." "We now ask, as a family, that we are allowed some privacy at this difficult and sad time to grieve and come to terms with our loss." The aircraft's operator CHC confirmed the helicopter returned to Flesland, Norway, on Tuesday after a warning light came on. A part was replaced, but the warning light reappeared during a test flight the following day. Another component was changed and a second test flight was completed without a warning light. According to CHC, none of the changed parts was "physically connected" to the rotor or gearbox. A spokeswoman for the company said: "These Returns to Base (RTBs) are essential for flight safety and part of operating in a highly regulated industry. "Sometimes an RTB can be for technical issues, other times it is much more mundane. At all times, CHC has met or exceeded the requirements of our regulatory authorities and our customers, and continues to offer a compliant service. "Speculation about the cause of the accident is unhelpful and we must also be careful to respect the feelings of the families who perished in the tragic events of Bergen." Commercial flights by the helicopter in the UK have been grounded by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). A team from the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch has gone to the crash site to help with the investigation. A petition to remove the EC225 Super Puma helicopter from services, started by an oil worker following the crash, has now been signed by more than 5,000 people - some of them relatives of those killed in other incidents. The petition calls on the CAA to "revoke the air worthiness certificates for this aircraft", claiming that failure to do this could result in "more needless deaths". Commenting on the petition, the mother of 27-year-old oil rig worker Stuart Wood who died in a Super Puma crash in 2009, said all versions of the helicopter should be withdrawn. Audrey Wood, from Newmacher, Aberdeenshire, said: "Seven years on and my life has stood still. Wouldn't wish this heartache on my worst enemy. "All variants of Puma should be removed from the oil industry, men should feel safe travelling to work not fear if they will ever see their loved ones at home again." The helicopter in the latest crash was flying from the Gullfaks oil field to Bergen, a centre for the North Sea oil and gas industry, when it crashed near the small island of Turoey. A major rescue operation was launched but ended within hours of the crash. Mr Stuart was a passenger on the aircraft along with 11 Norwegians and an Italian. The British Airlines Pilots Association (Balpa) said the "ripples" of the crash would spread far beyond Norway - a country with a "good safety record". Balpa's general secretary, Jim McAuslan, said: "The worldwide helicopter pilot community is united in demanding that we get to the bottom of what caused this latest accident in the North Sea and what can be learned from it." Mr McAuslan added the association would do all it could to help with the investigation into the Norway crash. In 2012, two EC225 Super Puma helicopters ditched into the North Sea in Scotland - one off Aberdeen and another off Shetland. Both incidents were blamed on gearbox problems and all passengers and crew were rescued. EC225s in the UK were grounded following the incidents but given the go-ahead to resume flying in August 2013. Later that same month a different model of Super Puma, the AS332 L2, crashed off Shetland, killing four people. Super Pumas are responsible for many of the 140,000 helicopter passenger flights in the UK each year. In a statement published on their website, the group said they were taking up an offer made by Colombia's Paulina Vega in her quest to win her title. Ms Vega, 22, has so far not responded to the offer. The rebel army has been in talks with the government for the past two years. It has waged an anti-government guerrilla war for the past 50 years. Representatives of both sides are trying to strike a deal but the talks in the Cuban capital, Havana, are deadlocked. Agreement has so far been reached on issues of land reform and bringing the Farc into formal politics, but a final peace deal remains elusive. During interviews prior to being crowned Miss Universe, Ms Vega had spoken of wanting to see peace in Colombia. In their statement, Farc rebels said they welcomed her "willingness" to travel to Havana, adding: "We invite you to materialise your visit to update you about the development of the peace talks." The BBC's correspondent in Havana, Will Grant, said it was surprising that the group would act on Ms Vega's sentiments. Some 220,000 people, most of them civilians, are estimated to have been killed since the Marxist-inspired Farc rebels launched their armed struggle in 1964. The visitors were on a 10-match losing streak in the league coming into the match but went in front after 25 minutes when James Vaughan headed down for Scott Burgess to net with a well-struck volley from just inside the box. Rovers had already squandered two clear chances before Rory Gaffney netted a 32nd-minute equaliser, shooting home at the second attempt when Bury failed to clear a Lee Brown cross. Another centre from the left in first-half stoppage time, this time from Charlie Colkett, was spilled by Bury keeper Ben Williams, allowing Taylor to slot the hosts in front. Ollie Clarke's low drive from 20 yards made it 3-1 after 61 minutes, but Bury hit back with substitute George Miller shooting home when Rovers failed to clear a 75th-minute free-kick. Peter Hartley restored Rovers two-goal lead with a shot following an 82nd-minute corner and Bury's misery was compounded two minutes from time when Neil Danns received a straight red card for an off-the-ball incident.

Newcastle City Council has indicated it might sell The Valley in High West Jesmond for sheltered housing. It looked "suspicious" that it would also decide on the village green application, residents said. The authority said it was "not an unusual situation". Friends of the Valley and the Little Dene secretary John Stephenson said: "Our concern is that, where a council is the authority promoting the development, there must be a conflict of interest when it is also acts as the Commons Registration Authority." These authorities decide on village green and common land applications. It is an offence to build on land with this status. "The council will obviously ensure that it deals with the application properly and in accordance with its statutory duties," the council spokesman said. East Gosforth Liberal Democrat councillor and resident Peter Leggott said: "However well intentioned it is, it will always look a little bit suspicious if it's two branches of the council." The council, which is aiming to make £138,150 savings on legal costs this year, has paid a London barrister £1,650, including VAT, to draw up a legal argument against village green status. It was "appropriate to seek external advice" and the fees represented "value for money", the council spokesman said. In 2013 the authority identified a number of potential sites for sheltered housing. The Valley had not been marketed and there have been no discussions with developers, it said. "Should the eventual outcome be that it goes forward as a site for development, then any proposals would be subject to the statutory planning process, including local consultation with councillors and residents," a spokesman said. The 23-year-old suspect was detained in Rochester under section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 by Sectu officers working with Kent Police colleagues. He is being held at a police station in the Kent area following what officers said was a "pre-planned" operation. It is not linked to any immediate threat in the UK, they said. Det Ch Insp Keith Roberts, of Kent Police, said: "I would like to reassure the community that this investigation should have very little impact on local residents. "Our officers will continue to maintain a presence in the area, offering reassurance to the local community." The Bevan Foundation said EU structural funds of £4bn over 20 years were a "drop in the public spending ocean". Aid was "swimming against the tide" of a single market which caused Wales to lose manufacturing jobs, it said. Foundation director Victoria Winckler called for government action to promote growth outside south east England. Writing to mark the six month anniversary of the EU referendum, Ms Winckler said the majority vote in Wales for Brexit had been greeted with "widespread disbelief". Referring to one commentator's headline, she wrote: "The turkeys didn't vote for Christmas - they voted for the better future that the EU had failed to deliver." She dismissed explanations ranging from "the failures of the remain campaign itself to the weakness of Welsh media to the nature of devolution to Wales". "In fact, the explanation is much simpler - EU funds simply didn't do what they were supposed to," she wrote. Blaenau Gwent - which saw the biggest majority in Wales for Brexit - saw a fall in jobs over 16 years, while other leave-voting areas such as Merthyr Tydfil, Caerphilly and Torfaen had seen "barely perceptible" growth, she added. "If these towns were 'showered with cash', it appears to have gone straight down the drain," said Ms Winckler, who originally helped secure EU aid for west Wales and the valleys while working in local government. Even so, Wales' EU structural funds were "tiny" at £200m a year, she claimed, compared to the £9bn spent on the 2012 Olympics and the £14.8bn Crossrail project in London. She also pointed out that EU aid was given to create jobs "at the same time as the EU single market encouraged job loss", with some of the new jobs being filled by migrant workers. "The irony of EU money being used to help to create jobs that were then filled by workers from elsewhere in the EU was not lost," Ms Winckler wrote. While it was "highly unlikely" the UK government would make up for the lost EU funding in full, she argued that an "effective UK regional policy" was more important. "It will also need a radical programme in Wales to create 'better jobs closer to home'," she added. The Sabarimala temple bars all women in the age group of 10 to 50 from entering the shrine. Hinduism regards menstruating women as unclean and many temples impose restrictions on women's entry. In November, a group of women students started a campaign to protest against the practice. On Monday, the court asked the state government and Sabarimala temple officials to respond to its notices about the ban. The court was hearing a petition, seeking to overturn the ban imposed by the temple. The judges said they would hear the case on 8 February. In November, the Sabarimala temple chief told reporters that he would allow women to enter the shrine only after a machine was invented to detect if they were "pure" - meaning that they weren't menstruating. "A time will come when people will ask if all women should be disallowed from entering the temple throughout the year," Prayar Gopalakrishnan said. "These days there are machines that can scan bodies and check for weapons. There will be a day when a machine is invented to scan if it is the 'right time' for a woman to enter the temple. When that machine is invented, we will talk about letting women inside," he added. Mr Gopalakrishnan's comments outraged women who launched a #HappyToBleed campaign on Facebook to protest against the "sexist statement". Several young women posted their pictures holding placards - some made up of sanitary napkins and tampons - with the slogan "Happy To Bleed" on Facebook. Nikita Azad, who started the campaign, told the BBC there was no "right time" to go into a temple and that women should have the right to go "wherever they want to and whenever they want to". They were members of a commission set up by Pope Francis to help reform Church finances. Officials believe they passed records of its discussions to journalists investigating Vatican corruption. The documents form the basis of two new books on the controversial state of the Vatican's finances. One of the journalists, Gianluigi Nuzzi, was involved in a previous leaks scandal at the Vatican, when Paolo Gabriele, butler to Pope Francis's predecessor, Benedict XVI, was found guilty of stealing and copying documents from the Pope's desk. Gabriele was given a jail sentence but pardoned by Pope Benedict. The Vatican has called the latest incident a "serious betrayal of trust". Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda, a 54-year-old priest, and Francesca Chaouqui, 33, were both arrested by the Vatican gendarmerie at the weekend. The Vatican has a recurring problem with secrets and leaks. In 2012, Pope Benedict XVI's butler leaked documents which depicted infighting at the highest levels of the Church. Some believe that this contributed to Benedict's decision to step down the following year. Pope Francis promised a new kind of administration. Four months after his election, he created a commission designed to end mismanagement within the Curia, the bureaucracy of the Church in the Vatican. By ordering a clean-up, the Pope inadvertently created material for a new round of leaks. The Vatican now accuses two commission members of passing records of its discussions onto journalists. Despite his best intentions, Pope Francis now faces the publication of details embarrassing to the church he leads. His 88-year-old predecessor, retired to a converted Vatican convent, will sympathise. Challenge to Pope as 'gay lobby' talk fills Vatican Synod sows confusion among Pope's faithful Ms Chaouqui was released on Monday after she agreed to co-operate with investigators. But Monsignor Vallejo Balda, a senior member of the Vatican's Prefecture for Economic Affairs, is still being held in a prison cell. The two books, due to be published this week, are expected to reveal allegations of financial mismanagement as well as the extent of resistance to Pope Francis's attempts to reform the Vatican. Renowned L'Espresso journalist Emiliano Fittipaldi has entitled his book Avarice: Documents Revealing Wealth, Scandals and Secrets of Francis's Church. Meanwhile, Gianluigi Nuzzi's publisher, Chiarelettere, has said his book includes details of private meetings between high Vatican officials and the Pope. According to the publisher, "you can hear Pope Francis, elected only three months before, as he strongly attacks the nomenklatura that for years managed the finances of the Holy See, denouncing: 'The costs are out of control, there are traps here'." As the UK's first maternity clinic for rape and sexual assault victims opens, BBC News speaks to three victims - two of whom helped design the clinic. Kim, 28, had her first child in a Birmingham hospital last year. She helped design how the clinic would operate. Kim said: "During labour, I couldn't stand being physically out of control and I wouldn't let the contractions come. I couldn't give into the process of labour, because I felt that I needed to fight back this time, now that something else was in control of my body. The midwife was shouting at me about why I was stopping my contractions and that I wasn't normal and it wasn't natural to be doing that. But I couldn't help it. "Eventually I started crying and shouted back at her about what had happened. I cried and cried hysterically, forever, and after I'd got it out of my system and let out what had happened from my mouth, like magic, my whole body began to open up. "The rest of the labour went smoothly. I needed to open up mentally to open up physically. If only this clinic had been around when I had my baby. It would have saved us both so much agony. "At one point I kept trying to close my legs because I was reacting to the flashbacks of the rape I was experiencing. Three midwives had to prise them apart because they said my baby only had a quarter of the space he needed to come out into the world. I cared about his first few hours in the world and I wanted to open my legs so he'd have more space, but I couldn't do it. "I desperately needed a clinic where people understood that, and where we could both be looked after before, during, and after. I can't believe this hasn't existed before. I am so glad that My Body Back project's maternity clinic is starting. It will mean that countless more women will not go through what I went through in future." Melanie (name changed for confidentiality), aged 37, had her baby two years ago. She said: "I was slow to bond with my daughter because I was in such an emotional state for weeks after she was born. I had nightmares for months and I was grateful she wouldn't let me sleep at night. I still wonder how this affected her early emotional development. I feel angry that my rapist was allowed to do that to her and there was nothing to protect us from that. "I was given gas and air whilst in labour and I started hallucinating, seeing the man who had attacked me in the room. I managed to articulate what was happening to my husband, but he didn't know what to do. He wasn't equipped to deal with it at all, and there was no-one else in the room who was either. I was terrified and screaming. Nobody asked me; I wish I'd had some control. "I feel my rapist was allowed to hijack the birth of my child because no-one stopped enough to care. I had to explain to every different staff member that I had been attacked. I was also not coping well with strangers touching me and I felt that the staff were blaming me for being oversensitive. I wish that they were equipped to deal with what I would experience, that my body was respected and I didn't have to debate it. "For the last year I have been thinking that I would love one more baby but that I couldn't have one because I didn't want to risk this happening again. I am so over the moon that this clinic is happening, this allows me and my husband to have another child in safety." Jessica, 34, had her first child two years ago in a London hospital. She also helped design how the new clinic would operate. She said: "Once you become pregnant, there is this assumption that everyone has access to your body. If you say no to that, you are considered a bad mother who puts herself before her baby. But I know I have to look after myself if I am to be mentally able enough to look after my child when she is born. "Pregnancy meant I was no longer asked for consent, because they assumed I already consented to everything anyway and that's how I got pregnant. The thinking is so patriarchal. It's no surprise, because our hospitals and the health system have been set up by men. There's this idea that because they have a qualification they have access to you and your body, and it doesn't matter about you or your life. "At 12 weeks I was told I had to have a transvaginal scan. I didn't want it because I was raped when I was 13 years old. I said I didn't want it but no-one listened to that, and I was talked to like I was a really terrible mother for not having this scan. Then when I experienced flashbacks as they did it, someone said: 'Why are you becoming hysterical? You need to calm down.' "It was as if the entire thing was my fault. The whole thing was based on victim blaming. I felt it was another way I was being blamed, again, for having been raped. It turned out that the scan wasn't required at all for my baby, and it was to do with research to do with the length of cervixes." Woman can self-refer themselves at the My Body Back Maternity Clinic, which is run by Barts Health NHS Trust and the My Body Back project at The Royal London Hospital. To book an appointment email maternity@mybodybackproject.com Bath and North East Somerset Council (Banes) said their preferred location was "Site B" on the west side of Mill Lane at Bathampton Meadows. Protester Christine Boyd, from the Bathampton Meadows Alliance, said she was "pretty upset" at the decision and said it was a "terrible, tragic loss". The site, which is subject to planning, has spaces for 800 vehicles. Banes said it would have to make "satisfactory arrangements for the purchase of the site and agreement from Highways England on access". It added there had been a "long-established need" for a new park-and-ride on the east side of the city. It will be Bath's fourth park-and-ride site - there are already facilities in Newbridge, Lansdown and Odd Down. She's been accused of shamelessly attaching herself to the footballers and their success, and the polls have shown upward blips of support for her as the team has progressed. But will it last? There's no doubt the World Cup has played well for her. Within an hour of the final whistle, there seemed to be a million tweets of her pictured in the middle of the sweaty, victorious team holding the trophy, the president of Germany beside her. She is, by all accounts, a genuine football fan, going to games way before she was politically important. But nowadays the right picture in the right place doesn't do any harm either. She was there when Germany thrashed Portugal 4-0 at the start and she was there at the final triumph when they lifted the World Cup. She's been described as the team's lucky charm. As she and the team's supporters sometimes put it: "Our twelfth man is a woman." But the political benefits of sporting success are not clear - or rather, they are complex and memory plays tricks. It is one of the great myths of British politics, for example, that the victory of England in the World Cup of 1966 kept Labour in government. The story runs thus: Labour and the Conservatives were running neck-and-neck in the election opinion polls and then Geoff Hurst knocked in a hat-trick. The fans, also known as voters, duly rewarded Harold Wilson at the ballot box and kept him in Number 10. There's one problem with this oft-quoted canard: the election preceded the World Cup Final. Labour beat the Conservatives on 31 March and England beat West Germany on 30 July. The "feel-good factor" from victory on the field can't have translated into political success. But it may have been true four years later. In 1970 in Mexico, England were dumped out of the contest far earlier than expected. It was the manner of defeat that hit so hard: England were 2-0 up against West Germany in a quarter-final with 22 minutes to go and over-confident manager Alf Ramsey substituted players to keep them fresh for the inevitable semi-final - except that the Germans then scored three (two in normal time and one in extra-time). Less than a week later, in a great political upset, Labour and Wilson were dumped out of office. Wilson said sport was not a factor, but a string of memoirs by his cabinet colleagues at the time revealed that he had been worried about how the World Cup would affect his chances of being substituted out of Downing Street. But this is all conjecture. There has been much pontification on the link between politics and sport but not much hard evidence. One piece of serious academic research indicated that whatever benefit there might be to a nation and its politicians from sporting success was negligible. Georgios Kavetsos of the London School of Economics and Stefan Szymanski, now of the University of Michigan, crunched the numbers. They used measures of happiness for 12 Western European countries from 1974 to 2004 to see if they correlated with sporting success for those countries. They did not. But they did find a correlation between measures of happiness and hosting sporting events. The academics looked at eight separate tournaments: the World Cup in France (1998) and Italy (1990), the European football championships in Italy (1980), France (1984), West Germany (1988), England (1996) and Belgium/the Netherlands (2000). They found that happiness indices rose in all but one of these countries. The exception was England, but the measurement wasn't quite comparable - happiness was measured for the United Kingdom not just for England and, strange to say, the happiness of the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish might not move in the same direction as that of the English. It would be too harsh to say that the happier the English, the more miserable the others, but you get the drift. Either way, the British exception in the study might prove the rule. The upshot of this research is that Angela Merkel is unlikely to get a great political benefit from the victory of Germany on the field. She is already widely approved of in the polls and a picture of her with other successful people may just reinforce that image. Think of how an unpopular politician would be greeted if he or she attempted to piggyback on the success of a team. But the research does indicate that the host country for a big sporting event becomes happier by doing so, however the country's team performs on the field. As Kavetsos and Szymanski put it: "We find that the 'feelgood' factor associated with hosting football events is large and significant, but that the impact of national athletic success on happiness, while correctly signed, is statistically insignificant." In which case, the big gainer from this World Cup would be Brazil. It seems paradoxical to say this after the country's football side was thrashed and then thrashed again, with much booing by the fans. Despite that, the sheer experience of togetherness and achievement in holding the event might bring an increase in happiness. So implies the research. Step forward the true winners: Brazil. Laura Try plans to set off from Burnham on Crouch on 3 June on her 1,800 mile (2,900 km) voyage. The events manager will be part of a five-strong crew who will be taking it in turns to sleep or row. Speaking ahead of the trip, Ms Try, from Brentwood, said: "I will take it one day at a time." Ms Try, who runs event for an obstacle course company, has had three bouts of serious depression and spent three months homeless last year amid financial problems. As a result, Ms Try, who is a keen runner and endurance athlete, will be rowing to raise money for the homeless charity Centrepoint. Her rowing training has been carried out entirely on a rowing machine in her 3m (15ft) by 4m (18ft) shed in order to get her used to some of the tedium of rowing up to 10miles (16km) from land. "I could have gone to the gym," she said. "But my shed is boring and its cold. I have been training twice a day with rowing and weightlifting (in a gym) but in the past two or three months I have tapered down the training to focus on fundraising. "With just a few days to go I am now primarily exercising for my mental health." Asked why she took on the challenge in the first place, Ms Try, who will eat her way through 224 packets of dry food during the tour, said: "I just felt I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and I thought the time was right to try something I had not done before." During the sea voyage, Ms Try will be keeping a video diary to document her experiences living aboard a rowing boat. The Home Office said new rules setting minimum prices for different drinks would come into effect on 6 April. Ministers hope the plan will end the practice of supermarkets using drink as a loss-leader - selling drinks at below the cost they pay themselves. But critics have described the plan as "laughable" because it will affect only 1% of sales. Last year the Home Office dropped a proposal to follow Scotland's lead by setting a minimum price per unit of alcohol. Instead, it said it would use existing licensing laws to prevent supermarkets offering deep discounts. The new scheme, which will be in force before the World Cup, requires retailers to use a complicated formula based on alcohol duty and VAT to calculate a floor price. A 440ml can of 5% beer will have a minimum price of 50p. A standard bottle of 40% vodka could not be sold for less than £10.16 and a bottle of wine would retail for at least £2.24. These prices are higher than the lowest-discounted alcohol currently available in England and Wales - but below Scotland's tougher minimum pricing scheme. Officials estimate that 1.3% of sales - 200m litres - will become more expensive and this will lead to an overall drop in consumption of 0.04%. Official figures suggest the scheme will cost business £4m to implement and the Treasury will lose £5m. But they also project savings of £5m for the NHS and almost £4m because of fewer crimes. Ministers say that setting a pricing floor will target "pre-loading" in which people consume heavily discounted supermarket drink before going out to pubs and clubs. One small research project found that two-thirds of young people arrested for alcohol-related disorder in one city had pre-loaded with cheap alcohol. Crime Prevention Minister Norman Baker said: "The coalition government is determined to tackle alcohol-fuelled crime, which costs England and Wales around £11bn a year. "Banning the sale of alcohol below duty plus VAT will stop the worst examples of very cheap and harmful drink." But Eric Appleby of Alcohol Concern said: "The idea that banning below cost sales will help tackle our problem with alcohol is laughable. It's confusing and close to impossible to implement. "The government is wasting time when international evidence shows that minimum unit pricing is what we need to save lives and cut crime." The Scottish Government's plan to introduce a scheme to set a minimum price per unit of alcohol is currently on hold because of legal challenges from the drinks industry. Itoje, 21, made his senior debut in the 40-9 defeat of Italy, coming off the bench to play blind-side flanker. But he now replaces the injured Joe Launchbury in the second row, ahead of the recalled Courtney Lawes. Prop Joe Marler replaces Mako Vunipola in the only other change from the team that started in Rome. "Everyone is pushing hard to be in contention, so there were some tight calls on selection," said head coach Eddie Jones. England are chasing a first Six Nations title since 2011 and a first Grand Slam since 2003. Going into the weekend's fixtures, they lead the table on points difference from France, with both teams having won their first two games. Ireland have made a disappointing start to their defence of the title and sit fourth after a draw with Wales and defeat by France. England: Mike Brown (Harlequins), Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph (both Bath), Owen Farrell (Saracens), Jack Nowell (Exeter), George Ford (Bath), Ben Youngs (Leicester); Joe Marler (Harlequins), Dylan Hartley (Northampton - captain), Dan Cole (Leicester), Maro Itoje, George Kruis (both Saracens), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), James Haskell (Wasps), Billy Vunipola (Saracens). Replacements: Jamie George, Mako Vunipola, Alex Goode (all Saracens), Paul Hill, Courtney Lawes (Northampton), Jack Clifford, Danny Care (Harlequins), Elliot Daly (Wasps). BBC Sport's chief sports writer Tom Fordyce: "Itoje has been so highly rated for so long that some of his new England team-mates have started calling him 'the chosen one', but this is as much about genuine hope than hype. "Having started at the same Hertfordshire school as Owen Farrell and George Ford before finishing at the same one as Billy Vunipola, he has been compared to both Martin Johnson and Paul O'Connell by England's defence coach Paul Gustard. "Those may seem lofty comparisons, but there is sound logic there. Itoje is 21 years old as he makes his first international start, while those two second-row legends made their own debuts at 22. And at 6ft 5ins and 18st 7lbs, Itoje is physically comparable to O'Connell's 6ft 6ins and 17st 8lbs. "England supporters should be patient. Johnson's defining moment, at the 2003 World Cup, came 10 years on from his debut, while O'Connell's - captaining the Lions, leading Ireland to the Grand Slam - came seven years after his own. "But Itoje has excelled in every age group and competition he has been thrown into, with his power, dynamism and leadership setting him apart. This could be the start of something special."

Most hailed from poor villages and went to Libya to work as labourers to send money to families back at home. But they died a gruesome death at the hands of militants who have sworn allegiance to the notorious Islamic State group. Thirteen of the 21 men are from the same Upper Egyptian village of Al-Our, in Minya, and the remaining victims are from Al-Jibali and other villages, Egypt's al-Yawm al-Sabi paper reports. The oldest victim was a 40-year-old driver, Majid Suayman Shihata, who had hoped to earn enough money to pay for the education of his three children as well as provide for his elderly mother and four siblings. The family of Abanub Ayyad Atiyyah, a 22-year-old commerce graduate, say he had hoped to help his family as well as save for his own wedding. "We intended to search for a wife for him upon his return to Egypt," his father is quoted as saying. "I also relied on him to help with the expenses of the household and the costs of his brother's education," he added. Another victim was 24-year-old Luqa Najati, a newly-married man from the village of Jabali, who had missed the birth of his daughter while in Libya. "My son travelled to Libya a year-and-a-half ago, immediately after his marriage - he did not even realise that his wife was pregnant when he left in search of a job," his father said. "We hadn't seen him since and now there is this news. His little daughter was born but he never saw her, we only sent her photos to him." The victims also include two brothers - Bishoy and Samuel Stephanos - who had hoped to save for their weddings and Samuel Wilson, married with three children and living with his extended family, who had hoped to earn enough to be able to buy their own house. Shinuda Anis, who has seen footage of her brother featuring in the video, spoke of her loss to local Vetogate website with a mixture of defiance and resignation. "Our blood is for the sake of the nation," she said. But she also went on to criticise the Egyptian government for failing to act sooner, pointing out that the group was kidnapped nearly two months ago. Among other victims was 26-old Samih Salah Shawqi, who left behind a daughter he had not seen since she was born; Milad Makin Zaki who left his a three-year son; and Mina Fayiz Aziz, who left behind elderly parents. All were hoping to return home after their time in Libya and build better lives for their families. •Milad Makin Zaki •Abanub Ayyad Atiyah •Majid Sulayman Shihatah •Yusuf Shukri Yunan •Carlos Bushra Fawzi •Bishoy Astafnus Kamil •(brother) Suma'ili Astafnus Kamil •Malak Ibrahim Sanyut •Tawadaros Yusuf Tawadaros •Jirjis Milad Sanyut •Mina Sayyid Aziz •Hani Abd-al-Masih Salib •Bishoy Adil Khalaf •Samuel Alham Wilson •Izzat Bushra Nasif •Luqa Najati Wanis •Isam Bidar Samir •Malak Farraj Abram •Samih Salah Faruq •Jabir Munir Adli Source: Egypt's Al-Fajr newspaper BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world.

Media playback is not supported on this device Australian Jones, appointed as Stuart Lancaster's successor in November, oversaw a 15-9 win at Murrayfield to retain the Calcutta Cup in his first game as head coach. "In all honesty I always thought we were going to win the game," the 56-year-old told BBC Sport. "The only way we weren't going to win was if we did something silly." Tries from George Kruis and Jack Nowell were enough for England to overcome Vern Cotter's Scotland, whose nine points came from three Greig Laidlaw penalties. Media playback is not supported on this device Led by new skipper Dylan Hartley, England lacked fluidity at times and conceded 12 penalties across the 80 minutes, including eight in the first half. But Jones was happy with the performance, considering he had had only seven training sessions to work with the squad. "We had two weeks together, we were virtually a new team doing new things," said Jones, whose side next face Italy in Rome on 14 February. "I'm really pleased with our application in the second half. Our defence was outstanding and there were some really good individual performances." More to come from Scotland - Cotter For Hartley, wearing the armband completed a dramatic turnaround. Having thought his England career was over last year when he missed the World Cup after he was suspended for ill discipline, the Northampton forward described the experience of captaining the side as "amazing". "It was huge to lead England out but I'm more happy we won as a team," the 29-year-old said. "It wasn't the prettiest performance. We would do something good and then our discipline costs us. We've had two weeks together, there is so much to improve on come Monday." Hooker Hartley, flanker James Haskell and tight-head prop Dan Cole were all singled out for praise by former Japan coach Jones. But it was man of the match Billy Vunipola who received the warmest words after a performance in which he made 19 carries - the most of anybody on the pitch. "I have read all the articles about him being too slow to play number eight. He's doing a pretty good job as a slow number eight," Jones said. "I thought he was outstanding with his carrying and defence work. He can be the best number eight in the world, I've no doubt about that." Jones has introduced a more relaxed regime to the England set-up, and spoke before the game of the importance of the players socialising together and enjoying a few drinks. It is a policy that looks set to continue. "We've come up here and won the Calcutta Cup. We scored two tries, there are no injuries so it's been a good day at the office," the Australian said. "So there might be a few beers tonight." Former England centre Will Carling was full of praise for a trio of England forwards. And England's World Cup-winning centre Will Greenwood added to the plaudits thrown at Billy Vunipola. Although not all of you were impressed. However, there were some Scotland fans retaining some positivity. He took his title, Yang di-Pertuan Agong or He Who Is Made Lord, in a ceremony packed with dignitaries at the National Palace. The sultan, currently ceremonial ruler of Kelantan state, was sworn in dressed in traditional Malay formal wear. As part of the day's events, Muhammad V also inspected an honour guard and received a 21-gun salute. Under Malaysia's rotational monarchy, the top job is passed between nine hereditary state rulers. Malaysia is the only country in the world to have a rotational monarchy, in place since the country won independence from the UK in 1957. The throne has only once passed to the same person twice. Mohammad V's immediate predecessor, Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah, was also king in the 1970s. The office is held for five years but is largely ceremonial, with power in the hands of parliament and the prime minister. Despite this, the role is accorded considerable prestige, particularly among the country's Malay Muslim majority, for whom the king is seen as upholding Malay and Islamic tradition. Criticism deemed to incite contempt of the king can attract a jail term. The new king, one of the country's youngest at 47, is half the age of his predecessor, who at 89 was the country's oldest monarch. But Sultan Muhammad V is not the first forty-something to hold the office in recent years. Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin was sworn in aged 45 in 2006. Sultan Muhammad V's interests are also relatively youthful. He is keen on extreme sports like off-road driving, shooting and endurance challenges. He also enjoys reading, golf and football, and participates in public walking events to promote healthy living. The Sultan of Johor, Ibrahim Ismail, broke with convention in October to say on Facebook that he had turned down the top royal role at a conference of Malaysian monarchs and leaders of states without hereditary rulers, as "he wants to strictly adhere to the rotation system". The unusually public comment was, said the post, to counter rumours there were other reasons for the decision. The flamboyant sultan and motorbike enthusiast has attracted controversy in the past over reports he is critical of Malaysia's scandal-hit Prime Minister Najib Razak. The helicopter lost control when a tarpaulin got entangled in its rotors as it tried to land on a luxury yacht in Bergen on Wednesday, Norwegian investigators say. Haukeland University Hospital confirmed it was treating a 57-year-old man, who is in a critical condition. The other two hurt suffered what have been described as "minor injuries". The pair were released from hospital on Thursday and the Foreign Office said it was assisting all three Britons. An investigation into the incident has found that a loose fuel tank cover was sucked into the helicopter's rotors as it attempted to land. The pilot tried to avoid it but the helicopter span out of control, landing upside down in the water, according to a statement from the Norwegian Accident Investigation Board on Friday. British air safety investigators are assisting their Norwegian counterparts. Reports suggest that the helicopter was owned by HQ Aviation, based at Denham Aerodrome, in Middlesex, and had refuelled in Shetland before flying to Norway. The 195-foot (59m) Bacarella, currently moored in Bergen, was sold for over £23 million at auction in 2014. Kara Lynsdale, from London, saw the incident unfold from a tall ship in Bergen harbour. "It almost looked like it rolled off the boat, or hadn't landed properly on the boat and missed it," she said. "It fell from such a low height that it just plunged - it sank straight away." Miss Lynsdale said she saw lifeboat crew trying to resuscitate someone as they took them across the harbour. "It was quite shocking to see them bomb past giving someone CPR in the back of the boat," she said. Bergen resident Jan Haughland was taking photographs of a tall ship on the fjord when he heard a "crash and splash in one". He said up to five boats raced to the scene, including a passing passenger ferry that was diverted from its course. "It can't have been more than five minutes before they arrived, it all happened very fast," he said. Susan Bonar, whose daughter Erin died of a sudden illness in March, said it was a great comfort to know that four people had been helped. "In my most difficult days of missing Erin, that is the one thing that brings me comfort," she said. Mrs Bonar said Erin had told the family of her wishes after seeing a TV advert. "We were watching TV together as a family and an advert came on about organ donation," she said. "Erin asked us what it was all about, so we did our best to explain it to her at the time. "She just announced that if anything ever happened to her, she would like to give her whole body away to help other children." Mrs Bonar, from Ballycarry, County Antrim, said while they were "quite astounded by this revelation", it was not something that they dwelled on. "She was a healthy and lively little five year old - we didn't think we'd have any reason to suspect something might happen to her, so it's something we put to the back of our minds," she said. "Erin was very matter-of-fact and very sure of what she was saying - in fact she was so sure that she repeated it to her granny a couple of days later to let her know that was what she was planning to do." Mrs Bonar said Erin was a happy and imaginative child "with a serious obsession with Spiderman", who was in the same primary one class as her twin brother Rhys. She said Erin took ill very suddenly and died, when an infection caused brain swelling. "Literally on the Friday she was at school playing around, and by the end of the weekend we didn't have her any more - it was so fast and we were left absolutely devastated," she said. When the hospital consultants asked the family about organ donation, Mrs Bonar said they knew what to do. "I'm thankful that we had that conversation with Erin because we found out from that terrible experience that it is not the time to make such a decision," she said. "You are too much in shock to make rational decisions like that, so it's important to make the decisions now before anything happens so you know your loved one's wishes and you're absolutely doing the right thing by them as well as others. "People may think children don't really understand these things - well, Erin definitely did, and it's never too young to start having those conversations." A day of events are taking place on Friday to encourage discussion about organ donation. Mrs Bonar said she took great comfort from knowing that donating Erin's organs had helped three young boys and a man in his 40s. "A little boy received her heart, and that makes us smile a little too because with Erin having two brothers herself, she always wanted to be a little boy anyway so she'd be pleased about that," she said. "Another boy received her lungs, and I've been told he's doing very well - he's gone back to school. "It's lovely to know that and it's one of the few comforts we have from losing Erin."

Ben and Catherine Mullany, from Pontardawe, had been married for little over a fortnight when they were shot in their hotel room in Antigua. Avie Howell and Kaniel Martin were convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Howell, 23, has been given another four years for burglary. He was sentenced at the High Court in Antigua last week. The court heard he committed the crime just weeks before murdering Mr and Mrs Mullany at their luxury beachside chalet. A family friend of Mr Mullany said: "The news of Avie Howell's latest conviction did come as a bit of a surprise to the family as they did not know he had carried out other crimes in the run up to the murders. "We simply don't know if he had been caught for the break-in he would have been behind bars when Ben and Cath were on honeymoon. "It's too difficult to think about. "But Ben's parents welcomed the fact that Howell has been brought to justice again." Howell's latest conviction saw him carry out a raid at a home in the Browns Avenue area of the island between 1 and 2 June 2008. Around 13,569 EC (£4,257) of goods were stolen - including gold and silver jewellery, 300 US dollars in cash and three mobile phones. A spokesman for The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda said: "I can confirm that on January 25, Avie Howell was sentenced to four years in prison for house breaking and larceny. "He had pleaded guilty to the charge." Four weeks on from that break-in, Howell and Martin then burst into Mr and Mrs Mullany's chalet at the Cocos Hotel. The 31-year-olds were both shot in the head while their killers made off with their mobile phones, a cheap digital camera and a handful of cash. Mrs Mullany, a doctor, died instantly. Her student physiotherapist husband - who was studying his degree at the University of West England, Bristol - was flown home on a life support machine. Despite the best efforts of his wife's colleagues at Morriston Hospital, the former South Yorkshire police officer died a week following the shooting. And five weeks after witnessing their wedding at St John's The Evangelist Church in Cilybebyll, their parents were attending the couple's funeral. Three years to the day of the shootings, Howell and Martin were found guilty for murdering the honeymoon couple as well as shooting 43-year-old local shopkeeper Woneta Anderson. The pair were handed a life term in prison each Since the murders, Mr and Mrs Mullany's relatives have been trying to secure a positive legacy for the couple via The Mullany Fund charity. Catherine Mullany's brother Richard Bowen said only 11% of UK doctors were from the lowest socio-economic group. To help bridge this gap, the Mullany Fund received funding last year from the Big Lottery Fund's Awards for All programme, which enabled them to launch an e-mentoring project for youngsters.

"I don't think it has sunk in yet," McGinn told BBC Radio Ulster. "What a night and what an occasion. To come off the bench and to score as well was just unbelievable for me." Northern Ireland's victory, which keeps alive their hopes of reaching the last 16, was their first at a major tournament finals for 34 years. A draw against world champions Germany in Paris on Tuesday will guarantee them a place in the knockout stages, though the three points they already have could be enough. Media playback is not supported on this device McGinn said his goal was down - in part - to the pre-match warm-up at the Stade de Lyon. "Before the game, I was hitting shots into those goals and hitting them nicely," said the Aberdeen winger. "Josh (Magennis) got on the ball and beat the full-back and pulled it back. Stuarty (Stuart Dallas) shouted to me to leave it for him but I followed up the rebound. "I was just in the right place at the right time." Tyrone man McGinn said the team had gone into Thursday's game determined to regroup from Sunday's opening defeat by Poland. "After the Poland game, we owed the fans, we owed ourselves a performance," he said. "We played on the front foot and we created a lot of chances. "To a man, it was just an all-round perfect performance." Media playback is not supported on this device McGinn said Michael O'Neill's side would take "great confidence" from their performance into Tuesday's match against the world champions. "Even looking at the Ukraine v Germany game, we watched the highlights of that and Ukraine created a lot of chances," he said. "On the night, if everything comes together and we get a wee bit of luck, hopefully we can nick a goal or two."

The trial is tentatively set to begin on 5 June next year near Mr Cosby's home. At least 50 women have accused Mr Cosby of sexual assault, and prosecutors want 13 of them to testify. The former star of The Cosby Show faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. A lawyer for Mr Cosby welcomed the trial date, saying: "The time has come to shine a spotlight on the trampling of Mr Cosby's civil rights." Once fondly known as America's Dad, Mr Cosby was the first African-American to host a primetime television programme. Although many women have accused him of rape, he is only facing charges in this one case due to statutes of limitations. Thirteen of his accusers may be allowed by the judge to take the stand because the state of Pennsylvania allows witnesses to give evidence of past acts that might display a "common scheme, plan, or design". Prosecuting lawyers say these women could demonstrate Mr Cosby shows a pattern of behaviour that is consistent with Ms Constand's accusations. In 2004 Ms Constand was 31 when she visited Mr Cosby's home seeking career advice after befriending him through Temple University, where he served on the board of trustees. She said Mr Cosby gave her three blue pills which made her legs feel "like jelly" and that he then began to touch her inappropriately. "I told him, 'I can't talk, Mr Cosby.' I started to panic," she said in a criminal complaint in December last year. Mr Cosby has maintained all of his sexual encounters with women were consensual, and that Ms Constand never asked him to stop. In 2006 Mr Cosby settled with Ms Constand after providing an undisclosed cash sum to her. A criminal case opened this year following the election of a new county prosecutor who had made it a campaign promise to bring charges against the comedian.

A spokesman said the 50m pool was closed "immediately as a precaution". Swim Wales chief Robert James said: "Three lights blew out... the bulbs burst, depositing glass into the pool and poolside areas." The two remaining days of competition could be held on 18-19 April. James added: "This incident is viewed as very serious and therefore after discussing with the pool management we could only cancel today and tomorrow's events. "This has left the competition halfway completed and we are looking for alternate dates." The pool spokesman added: "Swim Wales agreed with the decision and the championships have now been moved to later in the month. "The pool is being checked for debris and it will be reopened as soon as possible. In the meantime we apologise for the inconvenience caused." Bradford, who entered administration in both 2012 and 2014, faced a winding-up petition from HM Revenue & Customs in October. Bulls chairman Marc Green said he had been talking to investors but "pressure from HMRC has forced the club to be put into this position to save its future." Green has been in charge of the club since 2014. He added: "There is a dispute between ourselves and HMRC which we have been working hard to resolve since the winding-up petition was issued and despite two adjournments from the courts to resolve this matter we have been unable to do so. "We were concerned over the ability to secure a third adjournment and therefore this action became unavoidable to protect the club. "I will be working closely with the administrators over the coming weeks and it is my intention to regain this club from them within the shortest practicable time frame. "Regardless of whether I remain at the helm of this great club, I will ensure all memberships already purchased for next season will remain valid, as will the offer under which they were purchased. I believe the future of Bradford Bulls is still strong." Gary Pettit and Gavin Bates, directors of PBC Business Recovery and Insolvency, have been appointed joint administrators of the club. The Bulls, four-time Super League Grand Final winners, were relegated from the top flight of rugby league in 2014. They finished fifth in the Championship in 2016. In a statement, the Rugby Football League said any decision regarding Bradford's membership and possible sporting sanctions would be made in due course at the discretion of the governing body's board. "It is undoubtedly a painful and uncertain time for supporters, players and employees," the statement added. "In these circumstances the RFL will always seek to support a club in difficulty for the sake of those directly affected and also on behalf of the chairmen and boards of well managed clubs who deserve stability." Former Bradford Bulls coach Francis Cummins told BBC Radio Leeds: "I was there when the club went through it twice before and what the genuine fans of the club did will stay with me forever. It's sad for the people who are having to live through it now. "It's a terrible feeling when you go through it. You're not in control and you're waiting for answers but there's no answers to give. "Bradford have employees who are doing more than just their job. They're doing two or three jobs and they're volunteering extra hours. "You're hoping that someone will step in and buy the club. It's going to be a tough ask finding someone willing to take it on." But in Wales little is known of the verses or the legendary story of rebellion which inspired their penning. On Thursday, a special celebration of the life of the poet behind the "Bards of Wales" will be held in Budapest. Montgomery Mayor Eric Fairbrother said the poem was a "great link" between the countries. A Walesi Bardok, The Bards of Wales, tells of their legendary slaughter at a banquet in Montgomery Castle by King Edward 1st, after they refused to sing his praises as their conqueror. Janos Arany wrote the verses after refusing to write a poem celebrating the Emperor of Austria Franz Joseph following a failed revolution in 1848 against the empire. While Arany's 19th Century ballad is still taught in all the schools in Hungary, many living in Montgomery, Powys, have never heard of it. "Local people know very little about it at all. In fact it is only recently that I have been spreading the word about it," Mr Fairbrother told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme, ahead of his visit to mark 200 years since Arany's birth. During the televised ceremony, which will be attended by President of Hungary Janos Ader, Mr Fairbrother will present the honorary status of Freeman of Montgomery to the famous poet posthumously. Prof Robert Evans, Regius Professor of History at the University of Oxford, said Hungary considered itself similar to Wales, as a nation that had suffered oppression. "The idea that the bards refused King Edward, that was part of the Romantic culture of Britain in the 19th Century," he said. "It was well known even in Europe but it was picked up by Arany due to [political] circumstances which made it famous." The poem was only published after Hungary gained independence and is still taught to schoolchildren across the nation. But the ballad is still hardly heard of in Wales and Prof Evans said it only became recognised in recent years after composer Karl Jenkins penned a symphony based on it. Mr Fairbrother said the link between the two nations was more important than ever following the EU referendum. He added: "In these days of the Brexit situation, it's good to keep furnishing good relations with our neighbours in Europe." NHS Kernow has been placed under legal directions by NHS England to produce a recovery plan as it is heading for a year-end deficit of £14m. It had previously had forecast a surplus of £500,000. NHS Kernow said it had a good financial track record but faced "a number" of pressures. Clinical commissioning group NHS Kernow, which has a budget of £700m for Cornwall and the Scilly Isles, buys health services on behalf of patients. It can spend money on NHS or private providers. It is being ordered to produce a "credible" financial recovery plan, showing how it will operate within its annual budget. It will also have to provide a detailed explanation setting out why the deficit had occurred, and is to have a so-called "turnaround director" appointed. NHS Kernow said its situation worsened recently due to a "number of financial pressures - particularly an overspend on individual packages of care for patients with complex health needs". NHS England said it had been working "for some time" with Kernow CCG to help strengthen its performance, "given longstanding issues in the local healthcare economy". It added that the directions formalised that work, with the aim of ensuring that the "financial deficit could be recovered" to create long-term sustainability. Joseph Muscat, whose country assumes the EU's presidency in January, told the BBC "this is really and truly our position and I don't see it changing". Theresa May says the UK will begin the legal process to leave the EU by March. Mr Muscat said talks on the details of a "new relationship" could be delayed. Much political debate has focused on the possibility of a "soft" Brexit - the UK retaining some form of membership of the single market in exchange for conceding some control over immigration - and "hard Brexit" - leaving the single market but having fuller control over migration. But Mr Muscat said the UK and EU needed to first reach agreement on a range of other details once Mrs May triggers Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. He said these included the bill the UK must pay before leaving, establishing what will happen to the UK-Republic of Ireland border and working out interim arrangements on issues like security. Steering Britain out of the EU All you need to know about the UK leaving the EU What are the options? Asked about a suggestion from Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson that the UK could in theory stay in single market and place limits on the freedom of movement of EU citizens, Mr Muscat told the BBC "it's just not happening". He added: "All of us have been pretty clear in our approach that we want a fair deal for the UK but that kind of fair deal can't translate itself into a superior deal. "I know that there is absolutely no bluffing from the European side, at least in the council meetings I have attended, saying 'we will start in this position and then we will soften up'. "No, this is really and truly our position." He acknowledged the talks could get "complicated" and amount to a "bit of a Catch 22 - it won't be a situation when one side gains and the other side loses. "We are going to lose something but there will not be a situation when the UK has a better deal than it has today". Mr Muscat also reiterated the view that even when a final or interim deal is struck between EU leaders and Britain, the European Parliament may decide to veto it in 2019. His comments come days after the UK's Brexit Secretary David Davis described his meeting with the European Parliament's chief negotiator Guy Verhofstadt as a "good start". Mr Davis said their pre-negotiations discussion had been able to cover structures and how both sides propose to approach the Brexit talks, adding a deal was possible that was in the interests of the EU and the UK. The UK government has said it does not want to reveal its negotiating hand on Brexit before the talks take place. Actress Sadie Frost won £260,000 and ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne £188,250. Soap stars Shane Richie, Shobna Gulati and Lucy Benjamin also received payouts. Mirror Group has set aside an extra £16m to deal with further claims. The scale of damages reflected the invasions of privacy being "so serious and so prolonged", the judge said. Mr Justice Mann added: "The length, degree and frequency of all this conduct explains why the sums I have awarded are so much greater than historical awards. "People whose private voicemail messages were hacked so often and for so long, and had very significant parts of their private lives exposed, and then reported on, are entitled to significant compensation." The High Court heard the hacking of the eight claimants' phones took place at various periods between 1999 and 2009. The other damages, awarded after a three-week hearing at London's High Court, were: After the figures were announced, Mr Justice Mann was told that about 70 other claims were outstanding, and that a further 10 had settled. The Mirror Group said it would consider whether to seek permission to appeal against the size of the damages. It has increased the money it has allocated to deal with phone hacking claims from £12m to £28m. Trinity Mirror, which owns Mirror Groups Newspapers (MGN), said: "Our initial view of the lengthy judgment is that the basis used for calculating damages is incorrect and we are therefore considering whether to seek permission to appeal. In February, Trinity Mirror, which owns the Mirror, the Sunday Mirror and the People, published a "sincere and unreserved" apology for the voicemail interception, saying it "was unlawful and should never have happened". BBC legal correspondent Clive Coleman There was no right to privacy enforceable in the English courts until the 1998 Human Rights Act created one. Since then relatively few claims for breach of privacy have gone to trial and judges' awards have been modest. Naomi Campbell won £3,500 when she sued the Mirror for publishing pictures of her leaving a drug rehabilitation centre. Until today, the highest award by a judge was £60,000 to Max Mosley following the News of the World publishing a story about him attending a sex party. Both of those cases concerned a single story. Today Mr Justice Mann has made it clear that a claim for invasion of privacy made up of many different acts over years will be broken down into individual awards of damages. So, for example, every time a person is hacked, damages will be awarded. Compensation will be added on top for the distress caused. If the hack caused further breaches of privacy, say via the publication of a tabloid article, a further sum will be added. And if that further breach of privacy caused distress, a sum will be awarded for that distress as well. In Sadie Frost's case, 30 articles published over four years, plus nearly £40,000 for the hacking itself, a further £30,000 for the sustained level of distress resulting from the hacking, and £10,000 for the acts of private investigators, gets you to over £250,000, dwarfing the Mosley award. The message to the press and others is clear. Don't breach privacy repeatedly and for years, or you will pay, and pay, and pay. The damages dwarf those awarded to former Formula 1 boss Max Mosley, who successfully sued the now defunct News of the World in 2008. He was awarded £60,000, previously the biggest sum awarded by a UK court in a privacy case. Following the ruling, Ms Frost said she was "relieved" the case was over and the ruling was "closure" for her. Phone hacking had left her unable to trust the "closest people in my life", she said, adding: "When you lose trust in your friends and family, it is a very lonely place to be." Mr Gascoigne was described by his lawyer as being "delighted" with the result. The former England international told the hearing that hacking had left him "scared to speak to anybody" on the phone. He said the ordeal had "ruined his life". He had complained about 18 articles published by Mirror Newspapers, all of which were accepted to have been the product of illegal activity. Christopher Hutchings, solicitor for Ms Alcorn, said the judgement should encourage "ordinary people who have found themselves to be victims of phone hacking to take steps to bring the offending parts of the media to account". Hacked Off, the campaign group formed in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal, said it predicted there would be hundreds of further claims. It also predicted the Mirror Group had underestimated the amount it needed to set aside for compensation "by a factor of 10". Mr Cole, 30, from Dursley in Gloucestershire, was travelling from Copenhagen to Assen, in north eastern Netherlands, via the Dutch capital. He went missing during a night out in the Thorbeckeplein area of the city at 02.00 GMT last Monday, police said. His family has been informed. A police investigation is under way to find out how he ended up in the water. Mr Cole's brother Lee travelled to Amsterdam to visit bars and distribute leaflets as part of the search. He has formally identified the body. Dutch Police said a tracking dog became "restless" in a particular area being searched. Divers and sonar equipment were brought in and a man's body was recovered Detectives from Gloucestershire will liaise with Dutch officers to provide information to the coroner's office, and Mr Cole's family is in contact with the British Consulate. The Wildcats set South Africa a target of 143 to win with Kari Anderson top-scoring with 50 before being bowled. Shabnim Ismail took 3-30 while three Scots were run out as they were bowled out for 142 from their 50 overs. Chloe Tryon, with an unbeaten 45, led number one seeds South Africa to their target for the loss of four wickets as they claimed their second Group B win. Kirstie Gordon took 2-39 from her 10 overs at Colombo's Mercantile Cricket Association Ground, with Katie McGill and Abbi Aitken grabbing a wicket apiece. South Africa next play Bangladesh, who are also Scotland's next opponents on Friday. In Wednesday's other Group B game, Pakistan beat Bangladesh by 67 runs, while in Group A, Ireland were thrashed by Sri Lanka, and India won a low-scoring game after bowling Thailand out for 55. The top three teams in each group progress to the Super Six stage, from which the top four qualify for the World Cup, which takes place in England this summer. All matches played in Colombo & start at 04:30 GMT. CCC = Colombo Cricket Club; MCA = Mercantile Cricket Association Ground; NCC = Nondescripts Cricket Club. High Court judges rejected an appeal in March after the club lost a court battle last year over the ??30m deal. They ruled the supermarket operator acted lawfully when it ended its conditional contract to buy the ground. Chairman Steve Hamer confirmed no further action would be taken in an interview on BBC Bristol. He said the club is in the process of agreeing a new contract with the University of the West of England (UWE) to build a new stadium on its land in Stoke Gifford. The original agreement was dependent on the Memorial Stadium deal with Sainsbury's. And in many ways, over the last several months, it has been a gripping thriller for interested Malaysians. But on Tuesday, Malaysia's top prosecutor cleared Prime Minister Najib Razak of corruption in a long-running financial scandal that involved millions of dollars, an overseas donor and questions about government conduct to boot. And what a gripping tale it has been. Here's what we know: So we're left with yet another mystery - this time a sum of a smaller amount, but big questions all the same. Some of Malaysia's ruling party leaders have reportedly said money was used in the general election of 2013 - but critics say it was used to buy political patronage. And in many ways, many of the previous questions have yet to be answered. Why did the prime minister need this money in the first place? And what of the vigorously denied allegation that the funds came from IMDB - the ailing state investment fund which has Mr Najib as chairman of its board of advisors. This scandal couldn't have come at a worse time for Malaysia - the country has been hit by falling oil prices and the reputational damage to its economy can't fully be quantified. It's thought that millions of dollars have been pulled out of the Malaysian economy as a result of the impact of the global financial turmoil in recent months. Further, there is a nervousness surrounding the way the economy is being run - and the perceived lack of transparency there isn't helping. The fact that Malaysian shares and the currency barely reacted to this news on Tuesday just reflects the ongoing fatigue that many Malaysians have with the state of affairs. But every good thriller or mystery usually has a twist. Investigations have been completed and the case is closed in Malaysia, however, 1MBD may yet have to answer questions from foreign authorities looking into the case of the "mysterious millions". Watch this space. The Team Sky rider had fallen to 53rd after the fourth stage, a 172km race from Baga to Port Aine, having been in 10th place overnight. Welshman Thomas, 28, said that he was still feeling the effects of his recent win in the Paris-Nice race. "Never good pulling out of a race but not been 100% since last week," he said on Twitter. He added that he needed to rest up because of a "big race next Sunday", referring to the one-day classic Tour of Flanders on 3 April. Thomas had finished Thursday's stage, which featured a mountain-top finish, 14 minutes and 33 seconds behind winner Thomas De Gendt of Belgium. The previous day's stage finished with Thomas 28 seconds behind leader Dan Martin, but after the climb to Port Aine he was 13 mins 40 seconds adrift of the lead. Thomas' team-mate Wouter Poels won stage five on Friday after breaking clear 4km from the finish of the 187.2km race to Valls. Colombia's Nairo Quintana is the overall race leader, seven seconds ahead of Spain's Alberto Contador with two stages remaining. Two-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome, Thomas' Team Sky colleague, is 46 seconds back and eighth overall. Saturday's penultimate stage is expected to end in a sprint finish with the finale taking place in the hills around Barcelona. The Baggies were on course to join Manchester United on nine points at the top of the Premier League after Jay Rodriguez headed home his first league goal for the club on his home debut. But in attempting to clear a seemingly innocuous chipped cross from substitute Ramadan Sobhi, Hegazi and keeper Foster both missed the ball - allowing Peter Crouch to head into an unguarded net. Prior to Rodriguez's goal there had been only one shot on target - a dipping, deflected Kurt Zouma shot that Foster was able to tip over the crossbar. The game livened up in its final quarter, with Rodriguez looping a header on to the top of the bar and Hegazi having a close-range header tipped over. But the Egyptian defender's costly aberration proved to be the encounter's defining moment and leaves Albion focused on the two points lost as opposed to the one gained. The draw continues Stoke's positive response to their opening-game loss at Everton, which has seen them claim four points thanks to a home win over Arsenal and Sunday's game in the West Midlands. The first 257 minutes of Hegazi's West Brom career suggested that Tony Pulis had pulled off a masterstroke in acquiring the Egypt international on loan from Italian side Fiorentina. He scored on his debut against Bournemouth to get Albion's season off to a winning start and then contributed to the clean sheet that followed in another victory at Burnley. He came close to adding to his burgeoning reputation with a header that would have made it 2-0 and sealed another hard-fought victory. Instead, some of his good work has been undone by his first real error in a Baggies shirt. However, Albion were always vulnerable to such a mistake as a result of their lack of a cutting edge in attack. When fit, Rodriguez has scored goals on a regular basis and his predatory finish suggests he will do so again at his new club, but he is noticeably lacking in able support. Central striker Salomon Rondon spent much of the game isolated, while James Morrison and Matt Phillips failed to provide an attacking threat from midfield. It is no surprise that Pulis is reportedly to be weighing up a move for Watford forward Troy Deeney before the transfer window closes. Fortuitous it may have been, but Stoke's leveller was reward for a display that saw them match their hosts for work-rate and resilience. Their forward line of Jese, Xherdan Shaqiri and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting carried the greater threat through their movement and pace but too often they were guilty of over-playing in the final third. Choupo-Moting was adamant he should have had a first-half penalty but was denied by a referee who spotted him hooking his trailing foot around the static leg of Chris Brunt. In the end they were left to rely on West Brom's generosity and a well-placed Crouch, who ensured that the Potters avoided defeat after going behind - the first time they had done so in the Premier League since November 2016. West Brom boss Tony Pulis: "I think we had the best chances. You look at the money that Stoke have invested and they are a good side. We wanted Kurt Zouma but couldn't afford that loan fee. "That's eight or nine games I have managed against Stoke and I am unbeaten. The game here, we were the better team. It's been a great start to the season." Media playback is not supported on this device On deals before the transfer window "The chairman has just come in and we are hoping we can bring the players in we need. We have specific areas, and specific players." Stoke boss Mark Hughes: "We have gone behind against the run of play and showed good character to come back. We were the team that was pushing to the end. It wasn't a high quality game - a poor game, I have to admit. But you have to stick with it. I was pleased we were able to show that mentality. "The conditions took the edge off both sides. Warm day, long grass, no water on the pitch. At the end we will take the point. In my view we should have had a penalty for a handball but the referee disagrees." Hughes also hinted at a few new faces before the transfer window closed adding: "The group could have maybe do with one or two to add to the quality we have. We will try."

Pakistan, who drew their recent Test series against England, are the fifth team to top the rankings. "For us, the number one ranking is not a destination but part of a journey," captain Misbah-ul-Haq said. Pakistan were named the number one side after the rain-hit final Test between India and the West Indies at Port of Spain was abandoned as a draw, with only 22 overs possible in five days. India are second in the rankings with 110 points, while England and Australia are in joint third place on 108 points.

Overall cancer mortality rates have decreased by 14% in males and 6% in females in the last 10 years. However, the death rate from cancer of the liver has increased by 46% in men over the same period. Ms Robison underlined the Scottish government's focus on fighting the disease through "awareness and action". She said: "It's vital that we continue to reach people with the message that cancer isn't what it used to be in Scotland. "We know that fear of cancer can result in people delaying visiting their GP with potential symptoms or attending screening. "Only by telling the more positive side of the story can we start to change people's views that through innovation and investment, more people in Scotland are surviving cancer than ever before. "The Scottish government's £100m cancer strategy is our commitment to improving outcomes over the next five to 10 years, focusing on specific actions to help prevent cancer, diagnose people more quickly and deliver even better care and treatment." Cancer in Scotland: The statistics Figures from isdScotland.org The Scottish government has joined forces with Cancer Research UK to launch its 'Turn the Big C into a wee c' campaign. It aims to change the way cancer is viewed in Scotland in a bid to reduce fear around the disease. The government says it has invested £50m in radiotherapy services over five years and recruited an additional 100 radiotherapy specialists. Ms Robison added: "Encouraging people to present earlier with potential cancer symptoms, and attend screening when invited, also goes hand-in-hand with boosting survival rates - and next week we'll be launching a new drive to encourage more women aged 25-35 to attend their smear tests. "On this day of action, I'd encourage people across Scotland to play their part in helping us drive forward Scotland's 'wee c' vision. The earlier you come forward to get checked or screened, the better. It could save your life." Scottish Labour said more must be done to tackle "Scotland's biggest killer" - especially in the poorest communities. The party's health spokesman Anas Sarwar said: "The sad, unacceptable reality is that in Scotland you are less likely to get diagnosed and less likely to survive cancer if you come from a poorer background. "In Scotland, the standards cancer patients have been told they can expect - the time they wait from referral on suspicion of cancer to treatment - have not been met for almost four years now. "We know what can be achieved by delivering bold and radical policy - when Scottish Labour was in government we led the way in the UK with action on causes of cancer by introducing the smoking ban. "Tackling obesity is the next crucial step in the fight against cancer, and we back Cancer Research UK's calls for restrictions on unhealthy supermarket promotions. "But Scottish Labour also want to see game-changing investment in after-school sport in Scotland. That intervention would give an average of £100,000 to every secondary school as an investment in the long-term health of the nation. "With Scotland weighing in as the heaviest of UK nations there is a clear need for changes in behaviour, policy and legislation, to change the country's cancer trend. "That is something I hope the Scottish Parliament can support regardless of party." The yellow sign outside Highfield Community Primary School, Blacon, near the Welsh border, was meant to read "clear" but instead said "claer". "Claer" has no meaning in English or across the border in Wales. The sign was wrongly painted on Tuesday and corrected at no cost to Cheshire West and Chester Council earlier. Scottish women wanting terminations for non-medical reasons from 18-20 weeks gestation must usually travel to England for the procedure. A recent study also found wide variations in practice between health boards. The Scottish government said it was working with health boards to improve services. The 1967 Abortion Act made it legal for women to have an abortion up until 24 weeks gestation in England, Scotland and Wales. The Scotland Act 2016 has since devolved power over abortion law to the Scottish Parliament. Campaigners say women sometimes choose to have an abortion after 18 weeks because of a change of circumstances, or because they only discovered at a very late stage that they were pregnant. But while it is legal to have an abortion at this stage of pregnancy, several academic studies have suggested such terminations are rarely carried out in Scotland. Instead, patients are referred to hospitals in England, with the treatment paid for by NHS Scotland. The reasons for this are unclear; some have suggested it reflects negative attitudes towards late-stage terminations, while a lack of specialist training has also been put forward as an explanation. A spokesperson for the Scottish government said: "The Scottish government is continuing to work with NHS Boards to look at how improvements can be made to abortion services in Scotland. "This includes considering the complex area of later gestation abortion services. "Abortion is provided to all women in Scotland who require it within the legal limits." In November First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she would look into giving women from Northern Ireland access to NHS abortions in Scotland without facing prohibitive costs. Abortions are illegal in Northern Ireland except for cases where the woman's health is at risk. 27 January 2016 Last updated at 16:05 GMT Tens of thousands of children in the UK are young carers. January 28th is Young Carers Awareness Day so to mark the day we've been hearing from two sisters who look after their mum with mental ill health. Shannon and Scarlett care for their mum who has mental illness. She has periods when she feels sad and depressed. But the girls say that looking after their mum makes them really grateful for the good times. This is their story. For more on young carers read here. It happened in Los Angeles in America after people who lived near the river called the emergency services to tell them the dog was in trouble. Fire crews then lowered themselves from the helicopter to pull the pup, named Bart, out of the water. Bart is now being looked after in a special shelter. Sara Rowbotham, who was played by Maxine Peak in the BBC drama Three Girls, collected evidence that helped convict nine abusers in Rochdale. She was made redundant in 2014, two years after the men were jailed. The online petition says Ms Rowbotham and her team should be "applauded" for their services to the town. Three Girls tells to story of how girls as young as 13 were being abused by a group of Asian men, but police initially failed to pursue prosecutions. Greater Manchester Police later apologised and admitted there had been a "complete lack of understanding" of child exploitation in Rochdale and a failure to recognise the "scale of abuse". Ms Rowbotham, who now works as a councillor on Rochdale Borough Council, said it had been a "frustrating" and "incredibly difficult" time. "I spent a lot of time thinking it didn't really make very much sense," she said. A statement on the petition said: "Sara and her team should be applauded by not only Greater Manchester Police and the Crown Prosecution Service, but the government and Crown for her services for young people. "Sara and her team should be the highest advocates for future national guidance surrounding the grooming of children." It would be "shameful" to spend huge sums of money on the celebrations when "our people are dying of cholera", he said, state television reported. Cholera has killed about 60 people in Tanzania in the last three months. This will be the first time in 54 years Tanzania will not hold celebrations to mark independence from the UK. Mr Magufuli's party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), has governed since colonial rule ended on 9 December 1961, winning a new mandate in elections last month. Many people were caught by surprise by Mr Magufuli's announcement but have welcomed the move, the BBC's Sammy Awami reports from the main city, Dar es Salaam. They feel it shows his commitment to ending lavish spending and tackling the cholera outbreak which has caused widespread concern, he says. But it remains to be seen whether people will heed his call to spend independence day cleaning up their residential areas and work-places, our reporter adds. Independence day celebrations are usually marked with a presidential address, a military parade and performances by music groups at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam. Mr Magufuli's spokesman Gerson Msigwa did not say how much would be saved by cancelling the event but said the money would be spent on hospitals, and the fight against cholera - a major problem in poor areas where there is a lack of proper toilets. Mr Magufuli has announced a range of cost-cutting measures since he took office, including a ban on unnecessary foreign travel by government officials. Last week, he ordered the cost of a party to inaugurate the new parliament to be slashed from $100,000 (£66,000) to $7,000. He also sacked the head of the main state hospital after finding patients sleeping on the floor during a surprise visit to the facility. Mr Magufuli beat opposition candidate Edward Lowassa in last month's election to become Tanzania's fifth president since independence. Nicknamed "The Bulldozer", Mr Magufuli is reputed to be a no-nonsense, results-driven politician. He was the works minister, before being elected president. Anis Abid Sardar, 37, of Wembley, is accused in connection with roadside improvised explosive devices recovered from Anbar province in Iraq in 2007. Mr Sardar appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court after the CPS said it had authorised charges following an investigation by the Met Police. He was remanded in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey next month. Deborah Walsh, deputy head of counter terrorism at the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), said: "It is alleged that Mr Sardar conspired to murder coalition forces operating in Iraq on or before 22 November 2007 by conspiring to cause the explosion of these IEDs." The Metropolitan Police said Mr Sardar was arrested at his home on Tuesday by officers from its Counter Terrorism Command on suspicion of being concerned in the manufacture of the devices. He faces one count of conspiracy to murder, contrary to section 1 of the Criminal Law Act 1977, and one count of conspiring to cause an explosion with intent to endanger life or property contrary to section 3(1)(a) of the Explosive Substances Act 1883. Now she says it is "very moving" to be playing her mum in a revival of the show. Most people dread turning into their parents as they get older. Kay Mellor, on the other hand, is turning into her mother five nights a week. "I'm embracing it," she says with a wry laugh. Thirty years ago, over the washing up, Mellor's mother Dinah told her daughter about an intense affair she had had with a man called Craze. That revelation inspired A Passionate Woman, which was first staged at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds before running in the West End for a year. "It's extraordinary because at times it's very moving for me - more so than playing another role," she says of performing in the lead role in the latest production. "This brings my mother quite close to me. That's lovely in some respects, but in other respects I really miss her," says Mellor of Dinah, who died three years ago. "But I'm sure she'd be delighted if she was watching me from somewhere playing her, and highly amused. "Both my daughters said: 'Mum it's really freaky, when you're on the stage you turn into nana.'" Although Mellor wrote the original play, acting has given her a different insight into her mother's story. "You wear a different head," she says. "As a writer, you're looking at something analytically. You're looking at the show and the structure of it and all that. "But being in it, you're involved on an emotional level right throughout it. You're engaging on every level with your thoughts and feelings. It's an emotional journey, and it can be at times quite profound, what happens to you. "I get caught out sometimes. I can be completely reduced to tears in a minute and then think, get a grip girl, you've got to act this. "At times it can be quite…" There is a long pause. "Unusual. It is unusual. I've played other roles. I've played big roles and you're always slightly outside yourself, watching yourself. But with this sometimes I can get lost within it." In the play, the central character is called Betty and she tells her on-stage son Mark about her affair. That conversation represents the moment that Dinah divulged her secret to Kay. "When I'm playing it I can feel how awkward it must have been to tell me, and why she didn't tell me for many, many, many years," says Mellor. When Dinah died, Mellor decided to pay tribute and dusted off a screenplay version she had prepared. The result was a two-part BBC One drama, starring Billie Piper and Sue Johnston as her mother at different stages of her life. That aired last year. And it sparked interest from around 40 theatres who wanted to revive the stage version, says Mellor. In the end, she teamed up with Gareth Tudor-Price, then artistic director of the Hull Truck Theatre. The pair had worked together before - and besides, as an ex-boyfriend of Mellor's daughter Gaynor Faye, Tudor-Price had an unrivalled insight into the family he was putting on stage. "I can't remember who suggested it, whether it was him or me, but it just evolved that I would be the right person to play my mother," says Mellor. "I am the right age now to play my mother at the time that she told me about Craze, so I said yes." The play starts with Betty finding an old ballgown in her loft, leading decades-old emotions to come pouring out. Mellor first performed the role in Hull last year before moving to Ipswich last month. The play will open at the Oldham Coliseum on Wednesday. Twenty years after the original production became a hit, why does Mellor think the story has held its power over audiences? "I think it's got universal appeal," she says. "Because the themes are so big - marriage, love, death, mother and child relationships - they transcend age, time, culture." A Passionate Woman runs at the Oldham Coliseum from 18 May to 4 June. Les Gibson, from County Durham, was flying Odin on the Glen Muick estate in Aberdeenshire when they became separated. The keen falconer issued an appeal to help find Odin and he was spotted eating a rabbit by gamekeepers in Angus, who helped reunite the pair. Mr Gibson said he had begun thinking he would never see Odin again. He had been able to track the eagle for a while using transmitters on his tail, but these had become waterlogged in bad weather after he went missing over a week ago. Gamekeepers at Millden Estate had seen appeals to find Odin on social media when they spotted an eagle which had leather straps, or jesses, sitting on a meal of fresh rabbit. Head gamekeeper Mark Palmer then got in touch with Mr Gibson. Mr Palmer said: "Les came up, stayed over locally on the Friday night and we went out onto the moor to have a look on Saturday. We went out onto the top of the hill and saw a good sheltered bit where an eagle would look to find prey. "We started looking around and there he was, about 200 yards away. Les was ecstatic. He had been through so much worry. We were just glad we could help out." Using a lure of hare, Mr Gibson managed to coax Odin back to him. "It was unbelievable to see him again," Mr Gibson said. "I didn't sleep a wink after he went missing. "He was a bit wet but I put him on the scales and I would normally fly him at 7 lbs 5 or 6 ounces. I didn't have enough weights with me to get a definite reading, but he was up at 8lbs, which shows he had fed well in Angus. "When they have fed, it is harder to lure them back in with food. I thought he might have shied away but he recognised my vehicle and, thanks to some brown hare, I managed to walk him in." Odin and his owner have now headed back home to Consett together. "I never thought I'd see him again after losing him so long ago, and in such bad weather," Mr Gibson added. Samia Shahid's husband claims she was murdered in a so-called honour killing. There was a 7.5in (19cm)-long mark around her neck below her right ear, police said. Meanwhile, her first husband has been granted "pre-arrest bail" and is expected to offer himself for interview, according to police. The move means he cannot be arrested in connection with her death, for an as yet unspecified period. It is a common legal move in Pakistan, but does allow police interviews with the suspect to take place. Mukhtar Kazim, her husband, believes his wife was killed because her family disapproved of their marriage. A murder investigation is under way into the death but her family claims she died from natural causes. Her father has been questioned in Pakistan, although he denies any wrongdoing and no arrests have been made. An officer told the BBC the bruise is detailed in the post-mortem report but no action was initially taken because the doctor involved had not specified it as the cause of death. Ms Shahid had grown up in Bradford before going to live with her second husband in Dubai. Meanwhile in the UK, two people, including a relative of Ms Shahid, have been bailed over alleged threats made to MP Naz Shah. The arrests were made after the Bradford West MP said she was looking into the death of Samia Shahid, 28. West Yorkshire Police were questioning a 32-year-old woman, a relative of Ms Shahid, and a 37-year-old man. Every year and at every circuit, thousands of enthusiastic fans volunteer to become race marshals, giving up their free time to help ensure the smooth running of a Formula 1 race weekend. Up before sunrise and not home until long after sunset, it is a long and tiring day where they have to be alert to act at any moment. It is testament to their ability that on-track action this season has rarely been delayed for any real length of time to deal with the after effects of a crash or collision. They scurry on to the circuit to sweep up debris before swiftly retreating behind the safety of a barrier, all in a matter of minutes. At least twice this season, though, we have been reminded about just how close to danger they are. In Russia in October, one marshal had a close shave when Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari flew past him just seconds after he had sprinted onto the track to retrieve some debris, while another marshal did something similar during the Mexican Grand Prix. It is not just fast cars that marshals have to be wary of, but also the weather. During second practice for the United States Grand Prix, as rain lashed down on the circuit, they were evacuated because of the risk of a lightning strike in the area. The nature of a marshal's role means a good race weekend will be one where they have been anonymous. They have, though occasionally stolen the show, sometimes wearing masks at races close to Halloween between practice sessions or staging a mock pitstop with the safety car. Despite the ever-present threat of danger, the long hours and adverse weather conditions, the marshals do it all with a smile. Full Stars of the Season list The visitors saw their own promotion aspirations take a hit as Cardiff scored twice from the spot. Anthony Pilkington gave the Bluebirds the lead with a cool penalty on the stroke of half time and he repeated the trick with ten minutes remaining. Callum Robinson scored a consolation goal for Preston who slip to 10th, while Cardiff move up to seventh. Cardiff were also able to reduce the gap on rivals Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County and leapfrogged Birmingham City. The hosts were worthy of their win and enjoyed the better chances in a first half that failed to produce fireworks. Pilkington came closest for Cardiff, firing over from a free-kick shortly after he saw a point-blank range header sensationally saved by former Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard, Preston failed to test reported Everton target David Marshall in the Cardiff goal in the first period and paid the price when Pilkington slotted home the penalty in first half stoppage time after Paul Huntington's infringement on him. Pilkington was again denied by Lindegaard as he looked to double Cardiff's advantage shortly after the break, though Preston looked more of a threat when they switched their formation and began playing four at the back. The visitors had come to south Wales in fabulous form, four successive victories their best streak of the campaign, but they never fully fired against Russell Slade's men. There was more than an hour on the clock before they finally stretched the Cardiff defence, Adam Reach beating Marshall after a fine cross, but he was adjudged to be offside. But when Greg Cunningham sent Wales forward Tom Lawrence sprawling, Pilkington was again Cardiff's man of the moment, smashing the ball past Lindegaard to put the result beyond doubt. Robinson's consolation set-up a potential grandstand finish, firing home a right-footed shot from the centre of the box after Cunningham's superb cross. However, Cardiff held firm for an important victory on a weekend where several of their rivals slipped up. Cardiff are unbeaten in seven home games against Preston, winning four and drawing three. The Bluebirds have lost only once at home in the Championship all season and are now only three points outside of the play-off positions. Match ends, Cardiff City 2, Preston North End 1.

The 58-year-old Welshman arrived at the club in January 2015 and has guided the Baggies to 13th and 14th-place finishes in the Premier League. The club was sold to a Chinese investment group, led by entrepreneur Guochuan Lai, in September. "This is a time of great change at Albion and when that happens you need continuity," said Pulis. "I want to build things here and play my part in improving the club. You cannot do these things overnight but I do believe, step by step, we are making advances. "I think the bulk of our fans understand the process we embarked upon under the shadow of relegation less than two years ago." Pulis has been criticised by some sections of the Baggies support for the team's style of football, but says his priorities are keeping the club in the top flight and in profit. The club reported pre-tax profits of £14.7m and £7.6m in 2015 and 2016 respectively. West Brom broke their transfer record to sign midfielder Nacer Chadli from Tottenham for £13m in the summer, but Pulis was frustrated by their failure to bring in more of his targets. Chairman John Williams said the new owners' aim of moving West Brom into the top half of the Premier League would be achieved gradually. "The takeover announcement made it clear this new era would work to progress Albion to an established top-10 club without jeopardising continuity on and off the field," he added. "With this is mind, I am pleased we have extended Tony's contract. The board and the owner believe this extension will bring us the key dual benefits of stability and improvement." West Brom are 13th in the Premier League with 10 points from nine games. Never want to miss the latest West Brom news?

The 20-year-old has yet to make an appearance for the first team since joining from Bedford Town in September. He has previously spent time at Fulham, Barnet and Farnborough and was a regular for Colchester's under-21 side this season. Dillon joins midfielder Jack Curtis and winger Drey Wright in agreeing a new deal with John McGreal's squad. The visitors went close when a Shane Long header and a Dusan Tadic left-foot shot came off the woodwork. However, centre-back Ramiro Funes Mori gave the home side the lead against the run of play with a deflected shot off Ryan Bertrand. Southampton equalised when Sadio Mane swept in a shot and had to settle for a point despite plenty of pressure. Relive the action from Goodison Park Reaction from Saturday's other Premier League games The dissent has been growing when it comes to Everton manager Roberto Martinez and the smattering of boos at full-time will have reminded him off that. His side play Merseyside rivals Liverpool in the Premier League on Wednesday before a trip to Wembley for an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United - two games which will either help his cause or add to the pressure on him. Against Southampton, injury concerns and a suspension for midfielder James McCarthy saw him make six changes from a draw against Crystal Palace and his side spent most of the game fending off the south-coast side. Striker Romelu Lukaku was not risked off the bench, although right-back Seamus Coleman having to go off injured with a hamstring problem will be a worry. "It will be hard to see him being involved this week as that sort of injury takes longer than a week," said Martinez. Martinez gave teenagers Callum Connolly and Tom Davies their debuts for the club and, despite his squad being stretched, the Blues earned a hard-fought point. And, even though the draw did bring an end to a run of three successive home league defeats, Everton remain without a win in their past six top-flight games. Before the match, Southampton manager Ronaldo Koeman had not ruled out the chance of his side finishing in the top four and possibly qualifying for the Champions League. However, those hopes appear all but over as Saints are six points off fourth-placed Manchester City having played two games more going into their last four matches. They had a chance to win at Goodison Park in the league for the first time since 1997 but failed to capitalise on Everton's personnel problems. Southampton spent more than twice as long as Everton in the opposition third but failed to make the most of their pressure. "If you look at the away goals that is the problem," said Koeman. "We have scored 14 goals away and that is not good enough." Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "When you have to make five or six changes to our starting line-up, we look disjointed, rusty, and needed to find our normal rhythm. We overcame that lack of quality with incredible fight to get a positive result. "Looking at our results at home, they are not anywhere near what is expected. We need to turn that around starting with understanding that the responsibility of being at Everton is to win games on a consistent basis. We haven't been producing the results and I accept the unrest." Media playback is not supported on this device Southampton manager Ronald Koeman: "I'm really disappointed because it was a big opportunity to win the game, right from the start. We had a lot of space to play but in the final part it wasn't good enough. "At least we had a good reaction to going behind. We got one point but at this final part of the season it is not enough. We want to fight for Europe and it is not a step forward." Media playback is not supported on this device Everton will make the short trip across Stanley Park to play Liverpool on Wednesday, while Southampton's next game is a trip to relegated Aston Villa on 23 April. The latest sequel to the influential game will go on general release after months of testing by those who backed it on Kickstarter. After launch, the game will face stiff competition from other space-based games currently in development. Many of those offer players very similar experiences to the fighting, trading and exploring in deep space seen in Elite. Plans to make the fourth instalment in the Elite series of games emerged in November 2012 when the project appeared on Kickstarter seeking to raise £1.25m to develop the game. Elite: Dangerous is being made by Cambridgeshire-based Frontier Developments, the game studio headed by David Braben who co-developed the original Elite game. He said he used Kickstarter because it would have been hard to get a publisher to back the idea. The December release date is later than originally planned and the game will initially only be playable on PCs. A Mac version is due to follow three months after the original release. Frontier is planning an event on 22 November at which some players will get a look at what the finished game will look like. On porting the game to consoles, Mr Braben told the BBC's Waseem Mirza: "It is important we make a great game first, but then we will look at other platforms." After the end of its Kickstarter campaign, Frontier continued to raise funds via its website and from gamers who have paid to take part in the testing phases of the game. This week Frontier announced that this fund-raising activity had helped it raise £7.5m and more than 140,000 people had taken part in its alpha and beta testing programme. "Elite has a fabulous heritage," said James Binns, managing director at gaming news site PCGamesN. "The loyalty that people have to it comes from playing it in the 80s." However, he said, it faced strong competition from another title, Star Citizen, that was also calling on a strong community to back it. Currently, Star Citizen has raised more than $60m (£38m) from its backers and had a "super engaged" community who were fans of its creator Chris Roberts' earlier Wing Commander games. Star Citizen was trying to be a bit different, said Mr Binns, as it was planning to let spaceship pilots get out of their craft and fight gun battles in space stations, on planets and inside ships themselves. Star Citizen is scheduled to be released in 2016 though some parts of it are available to backers already. Also a rival, said Mr Binns, a game called No Man's Sky made by Guildford-based Hello Games. "If you are looking for a game that was inspired by the original Elite then No Man's Sky is that game," said Mr Binns. It too will let players use a spaceship to explore a Universe that has been created using a technique called "procedural generation". Trailers for the game generated huge interest at the E3 convention and it is expected to be released in 2015. At first it will only be available on Sony's PlayStation 4 but a version for PCs is expected to follow. Each of the games was appealing to a slightly different audience, said Mr Binns, but there was no doubt that these pools of players did overlap. However, he said, Elite, Star Citizen and No Man's Sky could all face competition from a very well-established title. "Right now," he said, "the most exciting space game that has shipped is Eve Online." Mr Braben welcomed the presence of rivals, saying: "Competition is always a good thing for the players, as it gives choice, but also it keeps the competitors on their proverbial toes." MWL Print Group, in Pontypool, established in 1973, closed its doors on the Pontyfelin Industrial Estate on Friday. It printed universities prospectuses and made billboards and exhibition stands. Last year, its pre-tax profits fell by £295,000 and a directors' report said it was a "very competitive" landscape. One worker, who did not want to be named, said the sector had become fiercely competitive and with "everyone undercutting everyone else". Another worker, Adam Romanic, 37, said he was "gutted". "We had a really good client base and there were rumours that they'd would be bought out by management, but that doesn't seem to have happened," he said. "I've got lots of friends here and everyone's devastated really." Reports that the rapists were ordered by police to cut grass as a punishment caused global outrage last year. The Kenyan police deny the claims. Nearly two million people signed a petition demanding justice for the girl, known as "Liz". Her mother told the BBC she was happy that justice had finally been served. The girl was on her way home from her grandfather's funeral in western Kenya's Busia County in June 2013 when the assault took place. She suffered a broken back and serious internal injuries. In October 2013, hundreds of people walked to the Kenyan police headquarters in Nairobi to deliver the petition. The case was subsequently referred to the country's judicial watchdog. There are still arrest warrants outstanding for three other suspects in the case, who police say are on the run. The hashtag #JusticeForLiz was trending on Twitter for several hours on Monday as news of the jail sentences spread. Campaigners have welcomed the sentences, but have warned that fear and stigma still discourage many women from reporting sexual assault. "An estimated 19 out of 20 rapes in Kenya are not reported and are therefore unpunished," said Kimberly Brown, from campaign group Equality Now, quoted in local media. Button, 36, is out of contract at the end of the year, while Vandoorne, McLaren's reserve driver, is one of the hottest properties without a race seat. McLaren chairman Ron Dennis said the 24-year-old Belgian was "an integral part of McLaren-Honda's future". He added: "Any team that imagines they may be able to poach him is very much mistaken." Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso is contracted to McLaren to the end of 2017 so Button and Vandoorne are essentially in competition for the remaining seat. Dennis said McLaren were "not yet ready to commit or communicate" on their 2017 line-up, but added: "You may rest assured that Stoffel is not for sale." Reigning GP2 champion Vandoorne deputised for the injured Alonso at last month's Bahrain Grand Prix, out-qualifying Button before finishing 10th on his grand prix debut. Dennis added: "Stoffel is an extremely talented, intelligent and hard-working young driver, with an enormous amount of potential and who, importantly, knows how to win." Renault are known to be interested in Vandoorne for next season. Their racing director Frederic Vasseur ran him in his teams in the GP2 and Formula Renault 3.5 feeder categories and rates him highly. But McLaren have Vandoorne under a contract this year that prevents him signing for another team until a specific date in the autumn, believed to be around the end of September or beginning of October. Button does have other options to extend his F1 career into an 18th season should McLaren decide not to keep him. Williams are known to be interested in him as a potential replacement for Brazilian Felipe Massa, who is likely to be dropped at the end of the season. Finn Valtteri Bottas is said by insiders to be under contract for another season. There are also seats potentially available at both Mercedes and Ferrari, where Nico Rosberg and Kimi Raikkonen are out of contract at the end of the season. However, Mercedes are expected to agree a deal for championship leader Rosberg to stay within the next few weeks and would anyway be unlikely to sign a driver who turns 37 next January. Ferrari will not make a decision on their 2017 partner for Sebastian Vettel until August but are likely to retain Raikkonen for at least another season.

Officers were called to an address in the town's King Street at about 08:00 on Sunday. The street was subsequently cordoned off as police continued their investigations. Officers have appealed for any witnesses to the incident to get in touch with them. No further details of the incident have been made public. The move will also see Naked Wines founder, Rowan Gormley, taking over as chief executive of the overall company. Majestic's previous chief executive, Steve Lewis, left the post in February. Majestic said the £70m deal would combine Naked Wines' online and e-commerce skills and Majestic's national store network. It also said trading in March was weak. Its shares fell 6% in early business. Rowan Gormley has founded a number of high-profile businesses. As well as Naked Wines, which started business in 2008, he was also behind the launch of Virgin Wines, the Virgin ONE Account and Virgin Money. Majestic also plans to expand further in the US and Australia. The two will continue to operate as independent brands. Kate Calvert, analyst at Investec, said the takeover was a good move: "Both businesses have much to gain from each other. We expect Mr Gormley to look to unlock Majestic's online potential." Naked Wines acts as a form of wine club and is a prolific user of social media on which its customers and wine producers are encouraged to communicate. It has more than 300,000 customers, compared with Majestic's 640,000. Majestic said same store-sales had risen by 1.5% since Christmas, but that although January and February's trading was in line with expectations, March's was weaker. Majestic said that this sales performance, coupled with "adverse foreign exchange movements in March", meant Majestic would announce adjusted pre-tax profit of approximately £21m in June. The 30-year-old clocked 48.92 seconds to beat compatriot Nicholas Thoman's time of 48.94 set in 2009. The US led 74-48 after the opening day in Indianapolis and easily retained their 100% record in the event. Tom Shields and Tyler Clary's first and third in the men's 200m butterfly secured victory with six races to go. The USA have now won all seven Duel in the Pool contests, beating Australia in 2003, 2005 and 2007 and Europe in 2009, 2011, 2013 and now 2015. They claimed eight of the day's first nine races but there was some European defiance once the result was determined, with Ranomi Kromowidjojo of the Netherlands equalling her own world record in the 50m freestyle. Hungary's Katinka Hosszu also clinched her third win of the event in the 200m individual medley with Britain's Siobhan Marie O'Connor second. Swimming in the final leg, O'Connor also helped Europe secure victory in the 4x100m freestyle relay, but the US easily won the men's 4x100m freestyle. Media playback is not supported on this device There is no precedent in rugby league although there have been mergers, such as Hull taking over Gateshead in 2000. Wasps moved from London to Coventry in the union code, while in American football St Louis Rams once again became LA Rams after the 2016 season. "I don't think we could say no to that," Foster told BBC 5 Radio 5 live. The discussion has made more pertinent by the situation with Wakefield, who are to leave Belle Vue at the end of the season and have struggled to come to agreement on a new, purpose-built venue in their home borough. "We would have to listen to the full argument, consider the pros and cons, and weigh it up. In the case of Wakefield they are where they are and we want them to be strong. "If any club owner came to us to say they hoped we could grow the sport we would have to listen to that." The old franchise system, operated between 2009-2014, saw clubs apply to join and remain in Super League based along criteria. However, new franchise applications came from existing clubs such as Widnes - who were eventually successful - Featherstone and Leigh, or brand new ventures such as Celtic Crusaders. What the decision to consider parachuting a Super League club into a new territory fails to acknowledge is that there are many clubs operating in the 'professional' game across the country. Map of non-heartland clubs Rugby league is intrinsically linked to its traditional 'places of worship' by its history. Northern union was created to ensure that players, who worked in the traditional industries of the north of England such as coalmining, shipbuilding, steelmaking and textiles were recompensed for injuries picked up while playing rugby. Those towns and cities in the industrial belt of northern England, which run along the route of the M62, have been the lifeblood of the sport, keeping the game alive for more than a century. "I don't believe we're quite as strong as we think we are in the heartlands," ex-England prop Eorl Crabtree said. "We've got some great Super League teams around but further down it doesn't work. "I went to an amateur rugby union ground for some coaching where there were 280 kids on a Saturday morning, I tried to think of rugby league clubs around me who could get that and I could only think of one. "The way to expand is build foundations and invest in youth. I think it makes a massive difference when you have local teams, with great facilities, and the ability to send players onto a pathway. "At Huddersfield when kids get to 14 years of age, we lose them. They lose interest and it's about trying to keep that interest and having really good youth set-ups at amateur level. "If we build our foundations, we can go a lot further down and that's for me where the money should be invested." Rugby league has had new clubs such as transatlantic pioneers Toronto Wolfpack, who came into the league system with the help of enthusiastic and wealthy backer Eric Perez. Their arrival to fanfare and media interest was juxtaposed by the near-demise of the sport's presence in Bradford over the winter, with the Bulls liquidated and a new club formed by Andrew Chalmers and Graham Lowe. Other clubs outside Super League have struggled financially, including Whitehaven and Workington - two Cumbrian clubs with a long-standing heritage. "It has to be the priority - to look after where were are at the moment and make ourselves really strong in those areas," Castleford Tigers head coach Daryl Powell told the Super League Show. "I think we should be growing outwards, we have strong rugby league areas in Cumbria and Sheffield outside the M62 corridor but it's still growing the game. "A Super League club should be in those areas before we start taking it too wide. Think about the support of the game - it's difficult to drop a team into an area without Super League support. "It tends to fall away if you don't get it right - that's the last thing we need as a sport, we need positive stories and Toronto could potentially be one." Wasps' success in rugby union in terms of finances, on-the-field achievement, and community buy-in has made the prospect in league an appealing one. The situation Wasps found themselves in - without a ground of their own, located in a capital city with rival union and other sporting clubs but with strong support base and a well-established brand - made a switch to a new territory an easy option. In turn, their new-found wealth has helped attract world stars such as Kurtley Beale and Willie Le Roux. "Wasps' situation is interesting, they moved their rugby union club from London into Coventry, and crowds hugely increased," Foster continued. "They did the same with their Super League netball club - they created a franchise and with rugby league brought a Four Nations game there. "We're keeping an eye on that - for me it's about making the 12 clubs 'businesses' that can compete in Super League as best they can." The nine rate-setters on the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted 8-1 for no change, predicting that inflation would stay below 1% until the second half of next year. Ian McCafferty, one of four external members of the MPC, was the only one to vote for a rate rise. He also voted for a quarter-point rise at each of the previous four meetings. It is the 81st meeting in a row at which rates have been left unchanged at 0.5%. The minutes of the meeting showed policymakers concentrated on the continuing subdued inflation environment. Inflation as measured by the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) stood at -0.1% in October and the rate-setters predicted it would be slightly positive in November. The MPC's job is to keep CPI close to the government's target of 2.0%. Last week, the European Central Bank took steps to boost the eurozone economy, cutting its overnight deposit rate and extending its €60bn stimulus programme by six months. But the Federal Reserve in the US is widely expected to raise rates at its policy meeting next week. "The ongoing reluctance to tighten policy contrasts with the more hawkish stance of US policymakers," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit. "Policymakers in the US... faced with an economy growing at a similar rate to the UK, as well as a similar level of unemployment and inflation and even lower wage growth, are sending a clear message that now's the time to start the process of normalising policy." But David Kern, chief economist at the British Chambers of Commerce, pointed out: "Even though the US may raise rates this month, the European Central Bank has eased policy even further, and global headwinds persist." "With inflation not expected to start edging up until next year, or reach target until well into 2017, there is simply no need for the Bank to consider changing tack." None of the nine current members of the MPC has been on the committee when rates were raised or cut. The longest-serving current member is Martin Weale, who joined in August 2010, more than a year after the last change in rates. The last member who had experience of changing rates was Paul Fisher, who left in July last year. The pound fell slightly against the dollar following the announcement and is now down by about three quarters of a cent. It also fell slightly against the euro, but remains up half a cent on the day. The US Attorney's Office said it had dismissed the case against Ingmar Guandique, an El Salvadorean immigrant. Ms Levy, 24, had just finished an internship with the US Bureau of Prisons when she disappeared in 2001. Her body was found in a park more than a year later, in a case that generated national headlines and claimed one politician's career. Democratic politician Gary Condit, to whom Ms Levy was romantically linked, was a suspect in the murder and ended up leaving Congress. According to the statement from the attorney's office, the case against Guandique was no longer one that prosecutors could prove beyond a reasonable doubt, due to "recent unforeseen developments". "The government now believes it is in the interests of justice for the court to dismiss the case without prejudice," prosecutors wrote. Levy's remains were found in Washington's Rock Creek Park in 2002 and prosecutors had argued at Guandique's trial that he preyed on female joggers. He was found guilty of her murder in 2010 but granted a new trial last year after Guandique's lawyers successfully argued that a key witness had lied on the stand. The dismissal of all charges against him means he will now be released to immigration authorities. He is likely to be deported. Maggie de Block said that of about 300 wounded people, 61 were still in a critical condition, and suggested that the death toll could rise further. Earlier, prosecutors confirmed they had identified two of the four attackers as brothers Khalid and Brahim el-Bakraoui. Two other attackers have yet to be named. One died, another is on the run. Brahim el-Bakraoui blew himself up in the attack at Zaventem airport that killed 11 people while Khalid struck at Maelbeek metro, where 20 people died, prosecutors said. Unconfirmed reports say another of the attackers was the wanted jihadist Najim Laachraoui, who is thought to have links with last year's attacks in Paris. So-called Islamic State (IS) has said it was behind the attacks. EU interior and justice ministers are due to hold a crisis meeting in Brussels on Thursday to discuss their response to the bombings. What we know so far Why was Brussels attacked? Victims and survivors Ms de Block said in a statement (in French) that the injured were from 40 nationalities, and 150 were still being treated in hospitals across Belgium. Many are suffering from burns or wounds normally seen on a battlefield, such as shrapnel injuries. The death toll, the statement said, was still "provisional". Ms de Block added that four patients were in a coma and had not yet been identified, which was delaying the process of naming victims. Belgium's king and queen visited the airport on Wednesday and also met some of those injured in the attacks. A minute's silence was held at midday. Federal Prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw said Brahim el-Bakraoui had been identified as the middle of three suspects caught in a CCTV image at the airport. The man on the left is believed to have died at the airport. The man on the right, wearing the hat, is thought to have fled the scene. Mr Van Leeuw said the man in the hat had left a bag containing "the biggest bomb", which later partially exploded after police had evacuated the terminal, injuring no-one. Reports in Belgian and French media suggest the man on the left is Najim Laachraoui, but this is not confirmed. Analysts say Laachraoui is believed to be a key bomb maker, and French media say he played a key role in the terror attacks in Paris. Mr Van Leeuw said a taxi driver had told police he had picked up the three men from an address in the Schaerbeek area of Brussels. The apartment was raided later on Tuesday and bomb-making materials, including 15kg (33lb) of high explosive, were found. A note from Brahim el-Bakraoui was found in a nearby rubbish bin. In it, he wrote: "I'm in a hurry (...) they're looking for me everywhere. I'm not safe any more. If I give myself up they'll put me in a cell." Mr Van Leeuw said the brothers, who were Belgian nationals, were known to police and had criminal records. They were identified by DNA records. Broadcaster RTBF quoted a police source saying that Khalid el-Bakraoui had used a false name to rent a flat in the Forest area of Brussels where police killed a gunman in a shootout last week. It was during that raid that detectives found a fingerprint of Salah Abdeslam, the main suspect in the Paris terror attacks of 13 November. He was arrested in a raid in Brussels last Friday. Turkey said on Wednesday that Brahim was detained by Turkish officials on the border with Syria in June 2015 and deported to the Netherlands. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Belgium had "ignored our warning that this person is a foreign fighter". Belgian Justice Minister Koen Geens said he was aware that the suspect had been deported from Turkey but denied that he had been flagged as a possible terrorist. Belgium has raised its terrorism alert to the highest level, and its international airport will remain closed on Thursday. The group says war crimes are being committed in CAR. In a separate report, Human Rights Watch is calling on the UN to send a peacekeeping mission to CAR. The mostly Muslim fighters ousted President Francois Bozize in March, sparking sectarian conflict. Rebel leader Michel Djotodia became the Christian majority country's first Muslim leader and is now interim president. The US ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, arrived in the CAR on Thursday for talks with Mr Djotodia and religious leaders. Urgent action was needed to end the "vicious violence", she said, on the eve of her visit. "The authorities and the opinion leaders have to make difficult choices to help stop the violence, bring their people together, begin a process of reconciliation," she said. In its report, Amnesty said former Seleka rebels killed nearly 1,000 people in the capital, Bangui, in revenge for deadly Christian militia attacks. The death toll was much higher than earlier UN estimates, which spoke of 450 killed in Bangui and another 150 elsewhere in the country. The attacks came after Christian militias known as "anti-balaka" (anti-machete) went door-to-door in some parts of Bangui "and killed approximately 60 Muslim men", Amnesty said. "The de-facto government forces, known as ex-Seleka, retaliated on a larger scale against Christians in the wake of the attack, killing nearly 1,000 men over a two-day period and systematically looting civilian homes. A small number of women and children were also killed," the report said. Amnesty says civilians are being killed on a daily basis in Bangui, despite the presence of French and African Union troops. Christian Mukosa, Amnesty's Central Africa expert, said the information gathered "has left no room for doubt that war crimes and crimes against humanity are being committed by all parties to the conflict." In its report, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that in the northern town of Bossangoa, Christian militias attacked Muslim communities, cutting the throats of children while forcing parents to watch. Muslim groups retaliated, setting fire to Christian homes and killing their occupants with the apparent approval of military commanders who were present, Human Rights Watch says. "The brutal killings in the Central African Republic are creating a cycle of murder and reprisal that threatens to spin out of control," said Peter Bouckaert, author of the HRW report. "The UN Security Council needs to act quickly to bring this evolving catastrophe to a halt." Ms Power said she and President Barack Obama were "deeply disturbed" by the killings. "This world has been witness to great atrocities before and each situation has its own unique aspects. Direct comparisons with other crises, past crises, are inevitably flawed," she said. "But it is worth noting that Somalia taught us what can happen in a failed state, and Rwanda showed us what can occur in a deeply divided one." Earlier this month, President Djotodia told French radio he was ready to speak to the leaders of Christian militias to resolve the worsening conflict. His comments come after the African Union authorised increasing the number of troops in CAR to 6,000. The AU troops, along with some 1,600 from France, are attempting to disarm militia fighters. But rather than simply signalling the end of big cultural projects in the region, can financial constraints herald the beginning of a new perspective on culture? Even Saudi Arabia and its high-profile projects have been badly hit. Ambitious architectural plans such as the King Abdullah Centre for World Culture, under construction close to the spot where oil was first produced for commercial export, remain unfinished almost eight years after the first stone was laid. Owner Saudi Aramco, the state's giant oil company, is considering floating shares on the stock market to raise money with some suggesting that, like other construction projects on hold, the slide in oil prices is affecting completion and also the stocking of the integral museum and galleries. Designed by Norwegian architects Snohetta, the centre would include the Kingdom's first cinema. Often referred to as the movers and sheikhas of the art world, Gulf women have been developing their own approach to culture, devising initiatives with private companies and seeking sponsorship outside the government. Sheikha Mai Al Khalifa, Director of the Authority for Culture in Bahrain, has protection of heritage in her sights, making restoration a priority. Such women are often more appreciated abroad where female empowerment is an everyday phenomenon and conservation of significant buildings the norm. The notion of soft, Gulf "girl power" is taking root as budgets are cut ever more deeply. Fierce cultural competition between Gulf states that led to the likes of the extravagant Saadiyat Island, off the coast of Abu Dhabi, is gradually being replaced by smaller-scale projects - such as the renovation and preservation of modest, pre-oil architecture. Once the economic bedrock of the island of Muharraq, the pearl was ousted by the oil economy. Now it is taking centre stage again as a designated route - a road that leads through Muharraq. The buildings that line it that were associated with the pearling trade and two oyster beds became an important part of cultural tourism. As well as keeping old skills alive through authentic restoration, the commercial sector is taking note of this model of investment in culture with its potential for profit. Expanding the idea of art beyond the confines of the museum or gallery, innovative new ways of broadening the appeal of art are helping to make it accessible to a wider public. One of the latest trends is cooking, with the arrival of the first celebrity Gulf male chef - but working alongside an artist. The kitchen in the Gulf is viewed as female-only territory but linking art and food in a novel combination has encouraged a masculine presence. The latest Bahrain Fine Arts Society exhibition paired chefs and artists to create a food and art collaboration, each craft inspiring the other. This initiative is changing the perception of art, replacing the old idea that museums are mainly vanity projects. Notorious for the opulence of its feasts - and amount of waste - the Gulf is being challenged to recycle, downscale and become sensitised by Gulf artists on the cutting edge. While art in the Gulf has previously largely steered clear of tackling pressing social issues, including the phenomenal waste of food in the region, they are now moving centre stage. The notions of freeganism - such as using up the food thrown out by supermarkets each night - and veganism are still not part of the Gulf mindset, but photographers, such as Rasha Yousif, are posing hard-to-avoid environmental questions to a population unfamiliar even with the idea of recycling. Could art increase awareness and so change the region's reputation for profligacy? Mobile phone footage shows a man in a wig and tights being verbally abused by a male passenger. A BTP spokesman said they were making enquiries to establish what happened. "This is completely unacceptable behaviour and we are asking anyone who recognises the man involved to contact British Transport Police," he added. The man whose footage has been passed to police said on Facebook he had been out celebrating new year but "on the way home I witnessed [someone] shouting abuse at a drag queen on the Tube. "I then made the heinous crime of sticking up for her and this video shows what happened." Striker Nelson Oliveira slotted past Alex Smithies to give the Canaries a deserved lead early in the second half. Southampton loanee Harrison Reed then made it 2-0, scoring his first goal in senior football with a fine strike from 20 yards. Jamie Mackie and Conor Washington wasted QPR's best opportunities. But Norwich were good value for their first victory in 2017-18 - and Daniel Farke's first as head coach following his summer appointment after leaving Borussia Dortmund's reserve team. The Canaries, who took only one point from their first two matches, missed further chances through Marcel Franke and Wes Hoolahan. Rangers boss Ian Holloway had named an unchanged team for the third game running for the first time since 2011, but they could not extend their unbeaten start to the season. Norwich boss Daniel Farke: "I am very pleased with the win. After Sunderland everyone was very motivated for this game. We received some criticism after the defeat and to be fair it was justified because some of our defending was not good. "I think you saw a lot of effort and togetherness out there tonight and in the end the players got what they deserved. It was a good performance with two excellent goals and I also thought we defended really well - I can't really remember QPR having a clear-cut chance all night." QPR boss Ian Holloway: "I actually thought we defended well for most of the game but what you saw there was unacceptable. "We could easily have cleared the ball up to our striker and put them under pressure but the ball went straight to them and then they played through us far too easily. We should have been more switched on and covered the second ball. "Goals change games - and if we had scored the first one I think we would have gone on to win the game."

The former Oasis star will be joined by electronic music band Hot Chip and former Brit Award winners Bastille, the organisers have revealed. David Bowie Reimagined is also set to perform songs spanning the iconic singer's career. The festival in the Italianate village of Portmeirion will mark its fifth birthday in September. Organisers said Bastille will headline on Friday and Hot Chip on Saturday night, while Gallagher will close the festival on Sunday. Festival founder Gareth Cooper said: "This is year five and it just keeps getting better and better." The event runs from 1-4 September. Final negotiations on the treaty are to take place at the UN next month. The assembly motion urges the government to insist that arms sales not be authorised where there is a substantial risk they will lead to serious human rights violations. It is being backed by Amnesty International and WAVE Trauma Centre . Grainne Teggart of Amnesty International said: "Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, Labour leader Ed Miliband, and UK Foreign Secretary William Hague have all spoken publicly of their commitment to securing a robust and effective Arms Trade Treaty. "However, so far the Prime Minister David Cameron has stayed silent on the issue. "As one of the most influential players in the negotiations, it is crucial that David Cameron publicly commits to championing an effective Arms Trade Treaty and sends a clear message to other world leaders that the UK will not compromise on human rights.'' Alex Bunting, from WAVE, who lost a leg and sustained injuries to his other leg in a booby trap bomb attack on his taxi in Belfast in 1991, said: "Having had our own experience of the illegal flow of arms in Northern Ireland, it is important that our MLAs urge David Cameron to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and ensure that the Arms Trade Treaty protects the human rights of people both at home and abroad.'' Mr Bunting's injuries were caused by a bomb comprising explosives illegally imported to Northern Ireland, suspected to have come from Libya in the 1980s. There are 90 seats to be filled, a reduction from the 108 seats elected in May 2016. With STV, candidates are elected according to the share of the vote they receive, the size of the electorate, and the number of seats to be filled. On ballot papers, voters rank candidates in order of preference, giving each a number. They can choose as many or as few as they like. When polls close and vote counting begins, the first step is to work out the 'quota', which decides how many votes a candidate needs to be elected. To calculate the quota, you divide the number of valid voting papers cast by the number of seats to be filled plus one, and then add one. Candidates who exceed the quota are elected straight away. Votes are then redistributed among the other candidates in two ways. 1. Some candidates may be elected by many more votes than the quota. These extra votes are called the surplus, and are redistributed in proportion to the total number of preferences for other candidates in an elected candidate's ballots. 2. The lowest ranked candidates are eliminated, and the preferences on their ballot papers are distributed among the other candidates. The process continues, with votes redistributed in these two ways, until all the seats are filled. To illustrate how the process can work, consider an election for the three most popular Shakespeare characters. Here is the result from the first round of voting: To calculate the quota: There were 109,525 valid votes cast and three seats to be filled. So, 109,525 divided by (3 seats +1)4, +1 = 27,382 Hamlet has clearly achieved this, so is elected in round one. There are 29,406 surplus votes from Hamlet to be redistributed - and all of his ballots are examined to decide the proportion. Some 23% of Hamlet's total ballots were found to have second preferences for Cleopatra. Therefore, of the 29,406 surplus, 23% is awarded to Cleopatra = 6,763.4 Quota: 27,382 Cleopatra now exceeds the quota and is elected at stage 2. The other candidates receive proportional transfers from Hamlet's surplus. There are 6,148 surplus ballots from her new total to redistribute. Again, all of her ballot papers are examined and the new surplus is redistributed in the same way as before. Quota: 27,382 However, no one reaches the quota in stage 3 so the last placed candidate - Lady Macbeth - is eliminated. Any preferences on her ballots are transferred to the remaining candidates. Any votes with only one preference - for Lady Macbeth herself - are discarded, and known as 'non-transferable'. Quota: 27,382 Stage 4 concludes with no candidate surpassing the quota. Last-placed Romeo is now eliminated and his preferences transferred to the remaining candidates. Quota: 27,382 Desdemona is elected in the final round when Romeo's second preferences are transferred. A candidate can win without meeting the quota when there are no more votes available for transfer. In this particular scenario, surpluses were only redistributed in the first two stages. However, in an election where more seats need to be filled, and with more candidates, the process can happen repeatedly through many stages of counting. The summary scoreboard shows first preference votes and vote share to indicate electoral support across the country. The bar chart at the top of the page shows the top 5 or 6 parties in terms of seats won in the assembly. If more than 6 parties win seats, the parties with fewest seats are amalgamated into a grouping called Others. In the event of a tie - for example two parties have two seats - the party with the most first preference votes nationwide will be named. Each constituency page displays a summary of all parties' and candidates' first preferences. You can follow how the stages of counting unfold on the 'stage by stage' tab. This shows who is elected and eliminated in each round and the transferred votes at each stage. Seat change will not be shown at national or constituency level in this election. This is because the reduction in seats from 108 to 90 makes a valid comparison extremely difficult. On smaller mobile screens, parties are sometimes abbreviated to 3 or 4 letter codes.

The man was discharged after treated at the Royal Stoke University Hospital. Powder explosions are caused by a high concentration of powdered combustible material in the air coming into contact with a heat source. Examples of dusts in the food industry which could could be linked to explosions included flour, custard powder, instant coffee, sugar, dried milk, potato powder and soup powder, said the Health and Safety Executive. A spokesman for Adams Food said: "There was an incident at our production facility in Leek this morning. "A member of staff working on the production line received minor injuries. Emergency services were called and the incident is now fully under control with all other production lines operating as normal." The mural on Pilot Street contains 58 images that relate to the maritime and social heritage of Belfast port over the last two centuries. Five historical figures including James Connolly, Jim Larkin and Winifred Carney are also included. The group behind the mural say they hope it will boost tourism and engage people in the docks history. Brian Quinn, from the Shared History Interpretive Project (SHIP), said it had been a "painstaking but rewarding process" putting the mural together. "We had the idea of putting together a new mural because the previous one had been damaged," he said. "We wanted to put something together that really told the story of the people who worked in the shipyards "It will be a great opportunity for people to learn more about this part of Belfast. There's a lot more to shipyards than Harland and Wolff and the Titanic. "Each picture on the mural tells a story and we have a booklet which explains each picture and why it was chosen". Many of the photographs in the mural were provided by members of the local community who have a connection to the docks. SHIP plan to hold lectures in front of the mural and give talks to school children and tourists. Mr Quinn's great uncle John Quinn is also commemorated in the mural. A docker by trade, he was also a key player in the union movement alongside Jim Larkin and James Connolly and the 1907 strike. "It will be a very proud moment to see his picture on the mural," he said. "We want to thank everyone who has helped us put the mural together and we hope people like it." Another stand-out performance for Premier League leaders Leicester on Monday saw the midfielder cover the second-highest distance for his side (11.07km), as well as play the most passes anywhere on the pitch (65) and the most in the opposition half (39). On Thursday, England coach Roy Hodgson named the 26-year-old in his squad for the friendlies against Germany and Netherlands. Should the uncapped former Manchester United youth player cancel his summer holidays? BBC Sport assesses his credentials. Fellow Premier League midfielders might want to ask Drinkwater and N'Golo Kante what batteries they use, because of their seemingly undiminishing energy levels. The heatmap below shows that Drinkwater sits in the area in front of the back four. His rivals in that role for England could include Eric Dier, Michael Carrick, Fabian Delph, Jordan Henderson and Phil Jones. So how good is Drinkwater at protecting? Well, he has made more successful tackles than any other English Premier League midfielder. Incidentally, team-mate Marc Albrighton is joint sixth with 47, and Dier and Liverpool's James Milner are joint eighth. And don't think of him as simply a destroyer - because he also rates well when it comes to passing statistics. So if Hodgson is looking for someone who offers more than just a screen for a suspect defence, Drinkwater could offer options there too. Although Drinkwater may lack goals, having scored only one in the league this season, his creativity from a deeper position still compares favourably with more attack-minded midfielders. Opta stats show he has created 36 chances including assists, with Everton's Ross Barkley on 41 and Tottenham's Dele Alli on 47. Former England international Trevor Sinclair told BBC Sport that Hodgson should push aside any loyalties in order to include the in-form Drinkwater. "It's a no-brainer for me - Drinkwater should be in the squad," he said. "You have to be cruel to be kind to some of the players who were involved in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, but have not played regularly. "They've been injured, not been consistent or shown any form. But because of Roy's loyalty, some of them will find themselves in the squad. "Danny is coveted as a holding midfielder and he's been in a successful squad this season. It's a round peg in a round hole. "I want to get players in who want to do the nasty stuff that others don't want to do. Danny fills that criteria. He's of good stock, coming from the Manchester United academy. "He's improved massively. He's combative and keeps the ball well and doesn't lump it upfield. That is ideal for international football, where ball retention is so important." West Ham midfielder Mark Noble is another uncapped player being backed by former professionals and fans alike to make the Euro 2016 squad, with the stats supporting those claims. "He's been linked with the squad for a long time, but been unlucky because we've had good midfielders," added former Hammers midfielder Sinclair, who won 12 caps. "But now you look at England. There are spaces to be claimed and I think Mark should take one of them." John Hartson, another former West Ham player, says this could be Noble's final chance to play at a major international tournament. BBC Radio Leicester's Ian Stringer gives five reasons why Drinkwater should be at Euro 2016 • Danny Drinkwater has the hunger which no other England player has. He's waited a long time to prove himself at this level and showcase his talents. Can you imagine the desire coursing through his veins to pull on that shirt? That's what Roy Hodgson needs. • His range of passing has been the best I've seen this season in the Premier League. He learned plenty last season from Esteban Cambiasso - when the former Argentina international was at the club - and can deliver a 60-yarder like an accomplished international, while digging away when required. • It means the world to him. You'll see Danny having a moan to himself when things aren't going 100%. A true perfectionist. • Danny Drinkwater will be a relatively unknown name to the Russian and Slovakian midfields I'm sure, allowing the Three Lions to catch them cold. • Drinkwater and Jamie Vardy have a wonderful understanding. Not only has one been the provider for the other's goals but they can hunt in packs together to flood advanced areas and win the ball back quickly. Roy is going to start Vardy up front. Isn't he? Roy? The final decision falls to Hodgson, with the deadline for the 23-man squad on 1 June - 10 days before the tournament starts. Patel, 22, left the prison in Surat city on Friday morning. He led huge caste protests in 2015, demanding quotas in government jobs for the Patel community. He was arrested after footage appeared to show him telling supporters to "kill policemen rather than commit suicide". He said the video was doctored. The Gujarat High Court bailed him last week in two sedition cases filed by the police in Ahmedabad and Surat cities. Under the terms of the bail, Patel has to remain outside of Gujarat for six months. Hardik Patel - face of Gujarat caste protests Relatively unknown outside Gujarat, Patel came into prominence last year when he led the protests, demanding quotas for Patels, despite their relative prosperity. Patel was arrested last October after police in Gujarat's largest city Ahmedabad accused him of inciting his supporters to resort to violence after the Patel community's massive rally in the city in August. Eight people were killed in the protests and the army was deployed to maintain peace. He was later charged with sedition after video footage emerged showing him talking to a local youth, Vipul Desai, who had announced that he would kill himself in support of the protests. "If you have so much courage... then go and kill a couple of policemen. Patels never commit suicide," The Times of India quoted Mr Patel as saying in the video. Patel said he had been "misinterpreted" and that the recording was "doctored", but the Gujarat police said it was genuine and filed a case against him. Patels, who comprise some 20% of Gujarat's population, 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 in Gujarat which has led to a drying up of employment opportunities. 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. Friends said Reece Morris, from London, was rescuing his daughter when he died off the coast of Malaga on 21 August. His partner of 24 years, Carly Eeles, described him as "the most amazing man, partner, father, brother and friend" who would be "terribly missed". The Foreign Office said it was "providing assistance to the family". His sister Kerry Morris said she was "absolutely heartbroken and devastated". "He was a fantastic brother. We were best friends," she said. Writing on Facebook, Jay Carter said his "best friend" had "passed away as a hero". T Rajkumar Rao was held in the eastern city of Kolkata (Calcutta) on Tuesday. Police say he led a gang that lured poor people to sell their kidneys, which were then sold for huge profits. Eight people, including five employees of Delhi's Apollo Hospital, were earlier arrested in connection with the case. The hospital has denied any role in the illegal trade, saying it has been a "victim of a well-orchestrated operation to cheat patients and the hospital". It has also set up a panel to look into the existing system for organ transplants at the hospital. It is believed that the suspected gang members forged papers to dupe doctors into operating on people in the belief that they were donating the kidneys to their relatives. "He [Rao] was arrested from Kolkata," police officer Nidhin Walson told AFP news agency. Mr Rao will be produced in court on Wednesday. A police officer in Kolkata said he was wanted in connection with similar cases across a number of South Asian countries. On Tuesday, police arrested three donors, including a couple, who had sold their kidneys to alleged gang members to pay off a loan. A chronic shortage of transplant organs is fuelling a lucrative black market trade in body parts across India. Briton Murray, 29, won his third title in as many weeks with victory in Vienna on Sunday, and could top the rankings with another good run in Paris. Four-time champion Djokovic says he is rejuvenated after a slump in form. "It makes me want to go on court and fight for every point because there is something to win at the end," he said. The 12-time Grand Slam champion returns to action after losing in the Shanghai semi-finals two weeks ago. Djokovic, 29, has finished four of the past five years as the world number one and will hold on to the top ranking if he reaches the final in Paris. However, failure to do so would allow Murray to overtake him if the Scot can win, or if Murray reaches the final and Djokovic falls before the semis. "I have been in these particular situations before in terms of ranking, so I know what to do, and I just keep things very simple," said Djokovic. He returns to Paris for the first time since completing the career Grand Slam with a first French Open title in June, but since then his form has dipped. Djokovic won in Toronto but lost early at Wimbledon and the Olympics, and suffered a bruising defeat by Stan Wawrinka in the US Open final. "Winning the French Open this year has brought a lot of joy to me but on the other hand has taken away a lot from me, as well," said Djokovic. "I felt a little bit exhausted, I must say, and maybe less motivated. So I had to kind of rediscover that feeling of being on the court and keep pushing myself. "I guess it took a little bit of time, more time, and I'm in a better state of mind at the moment than I was some months ago." Murray, in contrast, has won 52 of his past 56 matches, and secured his seventh title of the year in Vienna on Sunday. "You've got to give him credit for what he's done in the last three or four months - the second part of the year is quite incredible," said Djokovic. "He's playing maybe the best tennis he's ever played, very consistent, very strong. He definitely deserves to be in the position of being number one at the end of the year. "But that doesn't just depend on him." Murray has closed the gap dramatically in terms of points over the past four months and now trails by just 415, with 1,000 on offer to the winner in Paris. But Djokovic has won for the past three years on the indoor courts of Bercy. "Obviously he could win the event and, if I lose in the first round, then I am a long way from being number one," said Murray. "I've never won there before, so to just expect that you're going to win the tournament would be silly. "I don't feel any differently now to how I did six or eight weeks ago. My goal wasn't to finish as number one at the end of this year. "I wanted to finish this year as strong as possible and I think there is a lot stronger chance of doing it in the early part of next year, which is what I targeted rather than this week." Top seed Djokovic will open his campaign against Gilles Muller or Nicolas Almagro on Tuesday or Wednesday, while second seed Murray will face Fernando Verdasco. Andrew Bache, 51, from Portsmouth is in a critical condition after Russian fans went on the rampage with iron bars in Marseille on Saturday. Dean Bache said his brother was still unconscious after being put in an induced coma. But he had briefly opened his eyes and moved his arms, he said. Mr Bache, who is also known as Pepe, suffered a cardiac arrest, extensive brain injuries and a lung infection after being attacked before England's match against Russia. He opened his eyes when his son Harry visited him in hospital, Dean said in a message posted on a fundraising page. Friends who launched an appeal to help him have so far raised more than £19,000 towards a £30,000 target. Dean Bache said his brother would "have an operation in 10-15 days to repair his broken face". He said: "I'm not ashamed to say I cried for the first time today...I was talking to him... and held his hand and he closed his hand and gripped mine." Chief Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said Mr Bache had been beaten around the head by Russians armed with iron bars. A message from Dean Bache, shared on Facebook, read: "I was told that the chief inspector of the local police has informed them that they have excellent CCTV footage of the attack and have indentified those involved and pictures have been forwarded to French police." About £30,000 worth of vouchers will be given to people to buy fruit and vegetables at Barnsley Market. The pilot, funded by the Big Lottery Fund and the Alexandra Rose Charity, is the first outside of London. It aims to help low-income families afford fresh fruit and vegetables and to boost market shopping figures. The "Rose Voucher" scheme will run alongside other initiatives run by Barnsley Council's Family Centre service, including cooking on a budget and healthy lunchbox schemes. Councillor Tim Cheetham said: "The vouchers will support families to adopt healthier lifestyles in the crucial years before school starts and the additional support from Family Centres such as cooking classes will also help them develop the skills and confidence to provide their families with the healthiest start." Similar schemes are already running in the London boroughs of Hackney, Greenwich, and Lambeth. Barnsley was one of 11 locations in the UK to apply to run the pilot. Speaking at the launch of the pilot at Barnsley Market, Jonathan Pauling, from the Alexandra Rose Charity, said: "Barnsley stood out because of the fantastic central market offer and the passion, enthusiasm and confidence of local partners. "Barnsley Council understand that this project is good for families and good for local markets." Market trader John Slack said: "If it helps people eat healthy, to eat fruit and veg it's got to be good for us, it's got to be good for everybody." The UK was ranked bottom for the contrast in healthy eating between well-off and poorer children, in a report published by Unicef in April. The Conservatives leader had sought to take the UK out of the single market and end freedom of movement, but her party lost its Commons majority. Former Chancellor George Osborne said he did not believe a majority of MPs now back a "hard" Brexit. The Confederation of British Industry plans to canvas its members regarding the implications for business. Its president, Paul Drechsler, said: "The CBI has been calling on both European and UK negotiators to put the economy and people at the heart of these crucial talks. "With only days to go before Brexit negotiations begin, the UK needs to be quick out of the blocks and agree on transitional arrangements, guarantee EU citizens' rights and shift the focus of formal talks to future trading relationships." Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the election result had reduced the risk of a hard Brexit in 2019 and increased the chance of Britain remaining in the single market. "We judge that the probability of this "soft Brexit" scenario is about 60%, with a 35% chance of a negotiated "hard Brexit" and a 5% chance of no deal, in which the UK falls back on World Trade Organisation rules," he said. Societe Generale strategist Kit Juckes said the option of leaving the EU without a deal was unlikely to remain on the table. "We are going to do a deal, so Mrs May's threat that 'no deal is better than a bad deal', where we revert to WTO rules, is over," he said. Airbus, which employs around 10,000 people at plants in Filton and Broughton, reiterated its call for a "softer" Brexit deal. Chief executive Tom Enders said that mobility between its European factories was crucial for the plane manufacturer. "We are a company that obviously has an interest in a free flow of people," he said. While Mrs May is banking on the support of the DUP's 10 MPs to form a government, she will also need the backing of the 13 Conservative MPs from Scotland - 12 of whom are newly elected. Ruth Davidson, the Scottish Tories leader, campaigned for Remain in the EU referendum last year and said on Saturday she wanted cross-party support with "free trade and economic advancement at the heart of the Brexit deal". Mr Osborne told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show that "if the [Scottish Conservative leader] Ruth Davidsons of the world are starting to flex their muscles, then in my view that's a good thing". Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon said the government's view on Brexit remain unchanged. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told Andrew Marr that his party will put a "substantial amendment" into the Queen's Speech to promote a "jobs first Brexit" and to guarantee the rights of EU nationals to stay in the UK. Media playback is not supported on this device The New Zealander, known affectionately as 'Stern Vern', wiped away tears as he said a brief 'thank-you' for a rapturous reception at Murrayfield. His side secured three Six Nations wins for the first time since 2006. "It was fantastic, just to be part of it all and to walk round with the players," he told BBC Scotland later. "The players did the job out there really well, so to be able to walk round with them was great. It was one of those memories that will last with me forever. "I am really happy the guys can hold their heads up now. I was a supporter of Scottish rugby before and I will be a supporter again now, but with a lot more emotional attachment. "It was an honour and privilege the whole way through. I am just happy we were able to get the win and put in some good performances. "It was just trying to get the job done and do the best I can right from the start. I was lucky enough to have good staff around me and good players." Media playback is not supported on this device Cotter has led Scotland to a highest-ever position of fifth in the world rankings, guaranteeing them a place among the top eight seeds for the 2019 World Cup when the draw is made in May. Four tries against Italy - to Finn Russell, Matt Scott, Tim Visser and Tommy Seymour - brought Scotland's tally for the campaign to 14, surpassing their record of 11 set last year. "They did what was needed, got the job done and constructed the game well," added Cotter. "It was difficult conditions, especially in the first half, with a greasy ball. But we played patiently and got ourselves into positions to score when we needed to. "What was so good after last week [a record 61-21 defeat by England] was the guys were able to bounce back, and they didn't concede a try. It was a performance with character and well constructed." Fly-half Russell, who scored 11 points and was named man of the match, praised Cotter's contribution to Scotland's re-emergence as an international force. "Vern has been incredible," he told BBC Scotland. "You saw afterwards how much the fans love him and the emotion - this team means so much to him. "He has been brilliant for us. I have only been in the squad since Vern came in but guys who were here before say he has brought so much. "It is the first time [since 2006] we have won three games in the Six Nations and we are fifth in the world so the stats speak for themselves. "It was great to finish off with a bonus-point victory, and keep them to nil." Scotland captain John Barclay admitted that, after their Twickenham nightmare, the players were desperate to atone for Cotter. "Vern has made a fantastic contribution to Scottish rugby, and built a fantastic culture in the team," he told BBC Sport. "He won't take any credit but he is a great man. We shied away from it a little bit during the week but we really wanted to give the coaching team a good send-off. "We knew we had to set the record straight. [Last week] wasn't what we represented. So to finish like this means it has been a reasonable Six Nations."

Nasa hopes the data collected from the three-year mission will help scientists to monitor droughts and improve flood forecasts. The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) observatory's instruments will be turned on 11 days after launch. Two other men were injured in the incident at Dublin's Regency Hotel at about 14:30 local time on Friday. It is understood the gunmen were dressed as police officers and armed with AK47 assault rifles. Police investigating the suspected gangland crime have sealed off the hotel for a forensic examination. On Friday evening, Irish police held a press conference in Dublin. Ch Supt Barry O'Brien said three men were shot in the attack and all were taken to hospital where one of them, a man in his 30s, subsequently died. "Gardaí (Irish police) believe that at least four people were involved in the incident," he said. "Two were described at wearing police style uniforms similar to a SWAT team uniform, including metal helmets. "The men were armed with automatic weapons. Two others were carrying hand guns. "One was a man disguised as a woman and wearing an auburn wig and the other was stocky and wearing a beige cap." Police said a full investigation was under way and appealed for anyone who was at the hotel to contact police. The event was ahead of Saturday night's European lightweight bout between Jamie Kavanagh and Antonio Joao Bento. Kavanagh tweeted to say he was "OK", adding: "I was lucky today is all I can say." BBC Radio Foyle's sports reporter Kevin McAnena, who was at the weigh-in, said he "never felt terror like it" when one of the attackers pointed a gun at him. He said he saw one of the gunmen shoot a man in the leg "about six feet away" from him. "I heard two loud gunshots from outside coming into the hotel," he said. "At which point, two men, who I thought were [police] officers - turns out they were just dressed up in [police] uniform - came in with guns." He said he believed "the man I saw shot is the man that is now dead". "That same gunman then looked over at me and pointed the gun at me," he said. "[Police] have told me since that [the guns] were AK47 rifles. "It's so surreal, it just happened so quickly, right in front of me. "A man was shot dead six feet away from me - it's hard to gather your thoughts right now." The injured men, in their 20s or 30s, have "possible gunshot wounds", police said, and have been taken to hospitals in Dublin. Mel Cristle, the president of the Boxing Union of Ireland, said the shooting was not indiscriminate and individuals other than the boxers were being targeted. Speaking to Irish state broadcaster RTÉ, he said people were diving for cover and "they couldn't believe what was going on". He said there were between 200 and 300 people, including children, at the weigh-in. The pay-per-view channel Box Nation was due to broadcast Saturday's fight as part of the Clash of the Clans show at Dublin's National Stadium. But it has said the event has now been cancelled. I could say the same about Monaco - like City they looked very dangerous when they attacked, and both sets of fans will talk about Tuesday's match for years, but neither side's defence is good enough to win the competition. Going forward, City were brilliant. Their mind-set was impressive too - they were behind twice but stuck at it and got their rewards. Media playback is not supported on this device City will be confident of scoring against any team, but they also gave away some very poor goals and it is a lot harder to win the Champions League that way, by outscoring the opposition. I just cannot see City keeping a clean sheet and there are too many more disciplined teams left in the competition who will not give them the same number of chances Monaco did. I think they will get found out in the end. I am not surprised Guardiola says his side will fly to Monaco for the second leg looking to score as many goals as possible. I cannot see City playing any other way because, defensively, they are not the best - however they are set up. They could put another midfield player in front of their defence instead of just having Yaya Toure there as they did in the first leg. If they have full-backs Aleksandar Kolarov or Gael Clichy available by then, that would allow them to put Fernandinho back in there after he filled in at left-back on Tuesday. Guardiola could pick the more defensive-minded Fernando in the middle too, which would help. But I think Guardiola knows City's strength is with their attacking and creative players. When they were brave on Tuesday night, they were dangerous, and that is what they have to do in Monaco too. City created chance after chance when they got past the Monaco midfield and exposed their centre-halves, so I am not surprised that Guardiola wants them to do more of the same next time they meet. People might wonder why he wants his team to be so open but if he was thinking that they should sit back in Monaco and take the punishment, he is asking for problems. Basically, City have to stick with an attacking approach because, if they go there and try to shut up shop, they will lose. We saw again on Wednesday night that City's defence is something they have to work on - but it should not be their focus in Monaco. Guardiola will want his back-line to be more disciplined than they were at Etihad Stadium but, in the space of three weeks, he cannot mould them into a solid unit that will be able to keep Monaco out. Why would he want to? City play an expansive style, and that means they always leave a lot of space at the back. If Guardiola were a defensive-minded coach, then City's full-backs would stay close to their centre-halves and also be back in position to block some crosses. Monaco were terrific when they attacked down the flanks and put in some brilliant crosses, so he knows that is one way they will threaten on 15 March. City could concentrate on stopping that from happening by keeping their full-backs deeper and denying Monaco's wide players space to run into. But Guardiola wants his full-backs to join in with City's attacks too. It means his centre-halves can quickly become isolated when the opposition win the ball back and break, but I understand why he is willing to let that happen. His teams at Barcelona and Bayern Munich never just sat back and defended. Yes, Guardiola likes possession, but he also likes to play on the front foot. Wednesday's game had everything you could want from a football match. In terms of entertainment, it was 10/10 and Radamel Falcao's chipped goal for Monaco was in the all-time top 10 of the best I have seen. The second leg is extremely hard to call, other than that I think Monaco will attack and I also think they will score. It could end up another classic match. The pitch at Monaco's Stade Louis II is bobbly and not as good as the surface at the Etihad, so it could be that the tie is decided more by mistakes than by moments of quality. City are in the driving seat but they have to go out there being positive and look to score first. If they do that, then Monaco's heads could go down. But if Monaco get the first goal then it could turn into a very difficult night for Guardiola's side. The pressure will really be on. There will be goals, and there might be moments when the tie is in the balance. Hopefully they will go City's way. Chris Waddle was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. The world's second-biggest economy grew 7.8% from a year earlier, up from 7.5% expansion in the previous quarter. The official figures also showed growth in industrial output, retail sales and fixed asset investment. After years of blistering growth, China has seen its pace of expansion slow recently and there have been fears that growth may slow further. China has set a growth target of 7.5% for the year. Analysts said the latest numbers indicated that it was likely that Beijing would meet this. "This is an indication that China's economic growth is holding up in a range which is within the comfort zone of both the Chinese policymakers as well as global watchers," said Song Seng Wun, a senior economist with CIMB Research . Over the past few decades China has relied heavily on its exports and manufacturing sectors as well as government-led infrastructure spending to help boost growth. By Linda YuehChief business correspondent However, a slowdown in key markets such as the US and Europe has hurt demand for its exports. As a result, it has been trying to spur domestic demand to offset the decline in foreign sales and also to rebalance its growth. Earlier this year, it unveiled fresh measures to help boost the economy. From 1 August, China has suspend value-added tax (VAT) and turnover tax for small businesses with monthly sales of less than 20,000 yuan ($3,257; £2,125). The cabinet said the move would benefit more than six million small companies and boost employment and income for millions of people. Policymakers said they would also implement measures to simplify customs clearance procedures, cut operational fees and facilitate the exports of small and medium-sized private enterprises. The cabinet also announced plans to completely open China's railway construction market to private investors to develop the sector further. It said it would set up a railway development fund, with the initial money coming from the government. Analysts said the moves were starting to have an impact on the growth numbers. "There is certainly a build up of momentum among the small manufacturers, which is an indication that China's policies targeted at them are working," said Tony Nash, vice-president at IHS. Factory output rose 10.2% in September, from a year earlier. Meanwhile, retail sales rose 13.3% and fixed asset investment jumped 20.2% during the month from levels a year ago. Tim Condon of ING added that the measures may help China sustain its growth rate in the current quarter as well. "The mini-stimulus we've seen is enough to keep it going at this pace in the fourth quarter," Mr Condon said. However, there have been some concerns over whether the economic rebound is sustainable in the long run, not least due to the continued rise in property prices. Property prices have now risen for eight months in a row, despite government efforts to cool the market. Some analysts have said that China's new leaders, who took charge in March, have so far tolerated the price rises due to concerns over slowing economic growth. According to some estimates, about 25% of overall investment in China goes towards property, making it one of the most important growth sectors. But the continued surge in prices has fanned fears that asset bubbles may be forming. "Between real estate and the lending environment, there are concerns that things may be heating up," said Mr Nash of IHS. "If not addressed properly, and in time, it could pose a serious threat to China's growth." Analysts said that with growth rebounding, Beijing may take measures to try and curb speculation in the property market. "We think the recovery in the third quarter was mainly driven by the strong momentum of the property market," said Shen Jianguang, chief China economist with Mizuho Securities in Hong Kong. "The government concerns about an over-heated property market are increasing, and tougher measures to curb rising prices may be forthcoming. "We expect gross domestic product (GDP) growth will slow to 7.6% in the fourth quarter," he added.

The concerns come after it emerged that more than 800 women are taking legal action against the NHS over the use of vaginal mesh implants. One woman said she was left "screaming on all fours from the agonising pain". NHS England said mesh implants had been successfully used to treat hernias for several decades. The material is its "recommended method" for treating the condition. It is used on tens of thousands of patients every year. A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue pokes through a gap where muscle has weakened. It most commonly takes place in the groin. The use of mesh involves pushing bulging tissue back into the abdomen and covering it with the material, and can be delivered via open or keyhole surgery. Leila Hackett had an umbilical hernia mesh repair in 2013. "Straightaway I could feel the mesh," she said. "It was like somebody scratching you from inside your body, it's so unpleasant and constant. "It started off like fiery burning agony but it never stopped hurting or itching." The mother-of-two spoke to her GP about her pain many times, but was told the mesh was not the problem. Two years later, she was taken to hospital after the material had become stuck to her internal organs, causing her bowel to twist. "The pain got so agonising I was just screaming on all fours," Mrs Hackett explained. During her operation, the surgeon spent four hours picking the material out. "As soon as I came round, I knew the mesh had been removed because I felt normal again," she said. One in 10 people will develop a hernia, and some experts are concerned about the "thousands of hernia mesh patients who are living with chronic pain". Former general surgeon, Peter Jones, from Kent, spent much of his career removing mesh from British groin hernia patients. "Severe pain is a common problem and patients aren't being warned about it," Mr Jones said. "At least half of patients who have a mesh repair will have a smooth recovery, but in my opinion the risks of a poor outcome are so bad, I wouldn't want to take that risk. "I think litigation will come into this. If enough people got together and said, 'We are suffering and we weren't warned about it', that could put a dent into the mesh repair for hernias." Watch the Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel. Martin Kincey, 39, started experiencing pain in 2011, 12 years after he had a mesh repair for his inguinal hernia. "I used to play all sorts of sports," he explained. "But now the simplest of movements can be seriously painful. It feels like I have been stabbed with something hot." Martin has had multiple scans, blood tests and colonoscopies, which have all come back clear. "They've ruled out everything this could be, other than pursuing the mesh complications," he said. "There must be thousands of people who are experiencing pain who don't realise it could be the mesh. "It might not be to blame, but until it's investigated, how can we know?" While studies show 10% to 15% of groin hernias patients will experience chronic pain following a repair, surgeons say more research is needed for less common hernias. There is a mesh-free alternative for patients with groin hernias, which some surgeons have called for the NHS to teach its staff, so patients can have a choice. The Shouldice hernia repair involves a surgeon overlapping and securing layers of the abdominal wall, once a bulge has been placed back inside a patient's body. The technique was created at the Shouldice Hernia Centre in Toronto, which has a 99.5% lifetime success rate for treating first-time groin hernias. According to NHS Choices, 10% of hernias come back at some point after surgery. However, NHS England said the Shouldice repair was hard to replicate in its hospitals. It said mesh repairs had been undertaken extensively and successfully in the UK for several decades. The Royal College of Surgeons said while "any poor outcomes are regrettable", mesh implants were the "most effective" way to deal with a hernia.

NHS England is using mesh to repair hernias which leaves many patients in chronic pain, surgeons have told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.

French PM Manuel Valls and US Secretary of State John Kerry said civilians were dying in Russian air strikes. Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev said there was "no evidence of our bombing civilians, even though everyone is accusing us of this". One observers' group says at least 1,015 civilians have been killed in Russian air strikes. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said late last month that close to a quarter of those killed were under the age of 18. How Putin is succeeding in Syria Displaced Syrians struggle to survive Syria: The story of the conflict Russia, an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has consistently denied hitting civilian targets and insists it is battling terrorists. Mr Valls said his government "respects Russia and Russia's interests" but "that to re-discover the path to peace, to discussion, the Russian bombing of civilians has to stop". Mr Kerry again accused Russia of using so-called 'dumb bombs' in Syria that do not hit precise targets. Last week, he said women and children were being killed "in large numbers" by Russian raids. Mr Medvedev said Russia was "not trying to achieve some secret goals in Syria", adding that "we are trying to protect our national interests". Their comments were made at a security conference in Munich, days after world powers agreed a deal to push for a cessation of hostilities in Syria within a week. Agreement to try to bring about a cessation of hostilities and allow more access for humanitarian aid was reached by world powers late on Thursday in Germany, but neither the Syrian government nor the rebels were involved. Under the plan, efforts will be made to try to make urgent aid deliveries to besieged and hard-to-reach areas in Syria. Steps will also be taken to work towards an eventual ceasefire and implementation of a UN-backed plan for political transition in Syria. The halt will not apply to the battle against jihadist groups Islamic State (IS) and al-Nusra Front. The tentative deal reached here in Munich to pause the fighting in Syria was always going to be a tough sell to the warring parties on the ground. Now its chances of success look even slimmer - "Forty-nine per cent," said Russia's foreign minister. "Closer to zero," said his British counterpart. For much of the day the Russian and Western ministers have been trading accusations and counter-accusations as to who is to blame for the ongoing misery that is the Syrian civil war. France, Britain and the US all accused Russia of targeting mainstream rebels and civilians with air strikes while leaving so-called Islamic State largely unscathed. Russia flatly denied this, saying most of those civilians were being besieged by rebels rather than by Assad's forces. Again, Western delegates disagreed. So there are clearly two, diametrically opposed, versions of what is going on in Syria. That leaves little prospect of the concerted effort for peace by all parties that is so desperately needed. Rebel groups in Syria have told the BBC they would not stop fighting because they do not believe that Russia will end its bombing campaign in support of the government. They also reiterated their demand that President Assad be removed from power. On Friday, the president said he wanted to retake "the whole country" from rebels. But US state department spokesman Mark Toner said Mr Assad was "deluded" if he thought there was a military solution to the conflict. Syrian government forces, backed by Russian air strikes, have almost encircled rebels in parts of the northern city of Aleppo. More than 250,000 people have been killed and some 11 million displaced in almost five years of fighting in Syria. In another sign of the complexity of the conflict, reports said that on Saturday Turkish forces had shelled Kurdish militia targets in Aleppo provinces. The Kurdish fighters had seized territory from Islamists in recent days. Turkey views the Kurdish militia as allied to the PKK group, which has a waged a campaign against Turkish security forces for decades. On Saturday, Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Saudi Arabia would send war planes to the Turkish air base of Incirlik, from where they would attack militants in Syria from the so-called Islamic State. Saudi Arabia is already part of the international coalition against IS. Mr Cavusoglu also said it was possible that troops from his country and Saudi Arabia might participate in a ground operation against IS forces. The US has so far ruled out a ground invasion. Moscow has warned against any new foreign ground intervention in the country, saying such a development could even lead to a world war. Why is there a war in Syria? Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that, five years on, has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, Islamic State, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory. Who is fighting whom? Government forces concentrated in Damascus and the centre and west of Syria are fighting the jihadists of Islamic State and al-Nusra Front, as well as less numerous so-called "moderate" rebel groups, who are strongest in the north and east. These groups are also battling each other. How has the world reacted? Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are propping up the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran are believed to have troops and officers on the ground, while a Western-led coalition and Russia are carrying out air strikes. Ai, who is restricted from leaving China, helped install more than 50 artworks with a computer model of the stately home in Oxfordshire. "We would have loved for him to be here," said curator Michael Frahm. "We had the whole palace laser-scanned and created this virtual world that gave him access." Uniquely, Ai's artworks - spanning some 30 years - are presented alongside the palace's own artistic treasures, some of which date back hundreds of years. New works created for the show include a site-specific carpet measuring 45m by 2m in the Great Hall. Also on display is a giant chandelier in the main entrance hall and Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads: Gold (2010), the artist's reinterpretation of bronze zodiac head statues that once surrounded the fountain-clock at Emperor Yuanming Yuan's Beijing imperial retreat. One of the most visually striking pieces is He Xie (2010), which features 2,300 small porcelain crabs piled on the floor of a stately drawing room. The show features Marble Surveillance Camera (2010) and 55 photographs documenting Ai's time spent in New York from 1983 to 1993. Mr Frahm said setting up the exhibition had involved "a lot of trips to Beijing" as well as emails and Skype conversations. "By integrating the works into the palace, we are trying to give an insight into how contemporary art can look in a 300-year old building," he said. Speaking to the BBC in Beijing, Ai Weiwei said his inability to leave China meant he had to prepare for the exhibition remotely. "I had to study a lot of materials, site plans and most of all the history," he said. The artist added that his background as an architect came to the fore with his project. The Ai Weiwei show is the first major contemporary art exhibition to be presented at Blenheim Palace, which dates back to 1704. The home of the Duke of Marlborough, it was famously the birth place of British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill in 1874. The duke's son, Lord Edward Spencer-Churchill, founder of the Blenheim Art Foundation, said the inaugural exhibition was "the culmination of long-held dream". He told the BBC: "One struggles to find a more profound or interesting artist than Ai Weiwei and we're very honoured to have him here." He said exhibiting contemporary art was important to help Blenheim Palace "retain its relevance". "I think we've become a society which has become too typecast. Whether it's mixing your friends or mixing art, it makes for a much more interesting dynamic when you take things from different backgrounds and put them together." He added: "This is not a revenue-generating exercise. Visitors are not being charged anything extra to come and see the Weiwei show. If it can widen our audience and our appeal, that will be great." An outspoken critic of the Chinese government, Ai Weiwei was detained for almost three months without charge in 2011. After he was released, he was accused of tax evasion and fined 15m yuan ($2.4m, £1.5m). As part of his bail conditions, the Chinese authorities imposed a foreign travel ban on the artist. Blenheim's Ai Weiwei show comes at the same time as a major exhibition in Manchester showcasing the work of artists from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Harry Liu, editor-in-chief of contemporary art magazine Artzip, which operates in both the UK and China, said some visitors to Blenheim might struggle to understand the political messages in Ai's work. He also said there was more to Chinese contemporary art than just the work of Ai Weiwei. "People also need to look at the new young generation of artists because they represent more interesting artwork and come from a different political situation." The Blenheim Palace exhibition opens to the public on 1 October. Defence Veterans Minister Mark Lancaster told the Victoria Derbyshire programme government as a whole should be responsible for veteran care. He said the government would continue working in partnership with charities. Brenda Hale, whose husband was killed in Afghanistan, says there should "absolutely" be a dedicated department for care of veterans and families. Mr Lancaster said he believed the government had a duty of care towards service personnel after they left the armed forces. "But it is a partnership, we've always worked with charities, and I imagine that we always will," he said. "I don't want to go down the American model of having a dedicated veteran's department. "I think it's right that government as a whole should be responsible for our veterans. "I may be the only minister with veterans in their title, but I don't want to be the only minister who is interested or committed to looking after our veterans." Mrs Hale's husband, Mark, died in 2009, leaving behind her and their two daughters. It took her six months after his death to receive his pension payments after a dispute with government over his will, leaving her in serious financial trouble. She said if there were a minister in charge of a new department to care for veterans and their families, they would have to have wide-ranging powers. "That minister would need to have full responsibility across government departments to compel people to act," she said. "What we don't need is a tick box minister, where the [government] says, 'That box has been ticked and the veterans are being looked after.'" In 2010, the government announced that the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme, set up in 2005, would be overhauled for troops injured fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. This led to one-off awards for individual injuries being increased by more than 50% in some cases, while the rule of limiting compensation to the first three injuries suffered in a single incident was scrapped. Johnny Mercer, the Conservative MP for Plymouth, says that while he is not calling for a dedicated veterans department, he does think the care for ex-service personnel and their families must be improved, and that this effort should be led by the government. "What we need to do now is professionalise this industry, make sure the charities are good enough for what our people deserve, make sure somebody cares about these people, drag some through a care pathway, so that we deliver that duty we talk about all the time in the House of Commons," he said. "Until we ask these people what it's like going through that system, how it works for them, there's no point endlessly pouring money in, and announcements from government about X amount of billion pounds being made available. It means nothing unless it actually gets down to these people and changes their lives. Former Royal Marine Mark Ormrod had a triple amputation after stepping on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in 2007, and now has prosthetic limbs. He says he was told he could not receive funding to go to America to have them replaced. "The first time I needed replacement sockets I asked for the funding to go back to America and get what I needed, and they told me it wasn't available and that I'd have to go with what the NHS provided me," he said. "My injuries are not the cause of my stress. It's constantly battling to try and get the funding that I need for my prosthetics to overcome my injuries that causes me stress." The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel. The Last Letters: the British Antarctic Expedition 1910-13, has been compiled by Cambridge University's Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI). The bodies of Scott, Edward Wilson and Henry Bowers were found at their camp. They died in 1912 after being beaten to the pole by a Norwegian team. Scott, Dr Wilson, Lt Bowers, Capt Lawrence Oates and Petty Officer Edgar "Taff" Evans, reached the pole on 17 January 1912. They had been beaten to it by Roald Amundsen's team. At the time, Scott wrote: "Great God! This is an awful place and terrible enough for us to have laboured to it without the reward of priority." Evans died in February on the return journey. Oates left the camp and walked to his death in mid-March. The remaining three set up their final camp on about 19 March where they wrote final letters to their families and friends. A search party found the bodies in their tent on 12 November, 1912. The newly-published book brings their final letters together in full for the first time, along with the texts of other surviving letters. Naomi Boneham, archives manager at SPRI said: "The men wrote in the hope that one day their loved ones and friends would get to read their words. "These are some of the most poignant letters ever to be written from the polar regions and I am delighted we can now bring them together for a wider audience to appreciate." In a £10 bet the man, from the Scottish Borders, chose seven league winners. Jessica Bridge from bookmakers Ladbrokes said accumulator bets "normally come agonisingly close but hit the crossbar in extra time". "Our customer now has 60,000 reasons to thank Jack Grealish for his vital goal last weekend," she said. The man, who is in his 50s but did not want to be named, placed the bet before the start of the season. The sevenfold accumulator - which would only pay out if all the predictions were correct - earned him £60,734.38. In order for the bet to succeed, Newcastle had to better Brighton and Hove Albion's result on Sunday during the final Championship games of the season. Grealish's late equaliser against Brighton ensured the bet was a winner, with Newcastle beating Barnsley 3-0. Arthur Brumhill, 76, was found dead in the basement of a pet and garden shop in Wellingborough Road, in 1993. Stuart Jenkins, 39, of Ossett, West Yorkshire, appeared at Northampton Magistrates' Court and did not enter a plea. Mr Jenkins was remanded in custody and was told the case would be dealt with at Leicester Crown Court on Friday. Griffiths, 26, suffered a hamstring tear against Aberdeen two weeks ago, which forced him out of Saturday's Old Firm match against Rangers. Manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed it will also keep him out at the Nou Camp. "Leigh is a brilliant young player but we have to look after him for the season. He won't be involved against Barcelona," Rodgers told BBC Scotland. "We got the scan results back and he has a grade one [hamstring tear]. He has had it before and been out for up to seven days. "He thought he could get through it but it will probably be next weekend [Celtic play Inverness in the Premiership on Sunday] or just after that we will have him back." Griffiths was Scotland's leading scorer with 40 goals last season and has already notched seven in nine games in the current campaign. The injury also forced him to withdraw from the Scotland squad for last Sunday's 5-1 win in Malta. Media playback is unsupported on your device 13 January 2015 Last updated at 15:39 GMT Jim O'Neill, retiring chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, said the move in 2010 by the Red Knights was a "very difficult thing to pull off". Ten years on from the Glazer takeover of Manchester United, BBC North West Tonight has been looking at the club's connections with the family. The last of the area's more than 1,000 residents were being moved out of Wollaston Lake and Hatchet Lake First Nation early on Thursday morning. Several individuals will remain in the area to help with emergency efforts. The five sq km blaze continues to rage just south of the communities. The airlift started at about 2145 local time (0345 GMT) on Wednesday, after three Hercules planes and four Griffon helicopters touched down near the two northern communities, which are currently only accessible by air. "At this particular time the evacuation is either complete or near complete," Duane McKay, provincial commissioner of fire safety and emergency management, told The Canadian Press. The Public Health Agency of Canada has supplied beds, blankets and other essentials for the evacuated residents, who were taken to the nearby town of Points North, a statement released by the Canadian government said. No injuries have been reported from the wildfires, which were first reported on Monday. It marks the first time the honour has been given to a composer in 44 years. "John Williams has written the soundtrack to our lives," said Howard Stringer, chairman of the AFI board of trustees. Five-time Oscar winner Williams, whose soundtracks include Star Wars, Jaws and ET, will receive the award at a ceremony on 9 June, 2016. "Note by note, through chord and chorus, his genius for marrying music with movies has elevated the art form to symphonic levels and inspired generations of audiences to be enriched by the magic of the movies," said Stringer, in a statement. "AFI is proud to present him with its 44th Life Achievement Award." The institute has typically honoured high-profile actors and directors with the award. Previous recipients include Alfred Hitchcock, Elizabeth Taylor, Martin Scorsese, Meryl Streep - and last year's honouree, Steve Martin. The inaugural award was given to John Ford in 1973. According to AFI: "The recipient should be one whose talent has in a fundamental way advanced the film art; whose accomplishment has been acknowledged by scholars, critics, professional peers and the general public; and whose work has stood the test of time." Williams, 83, has composed music for more than 150 movies and 200 television shows over seven decades. He won Oscars for his scores to Jaws, Star Wars, ET and Schindler's List. His fifth Academy Award was gained for the adaptation and original song score to 1971's Fiddler On The Roof. With 49 citations, he holds the record for the most Oscar nominations of any living person. Williams is expected to reunite with Steven Spielberg - with whom he has had a 40-year working relationship - for the director's adaptation of Roald Dahl's The BFG. He has also composed the music for the forthcoming Star Wars sequel, The Force Awakens, which will premiere in Los Angeles on 14 December, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The regulator says it recorded 32 complaints for every 100,000 of the firm's pay-monthly subscribers over the last three months of the year. That is more than double the figure for the same period in 2014, at which point Vodafone was still the most complained about network. The company blames an IT glitch. The actual number of frustrated customers was probably higher as Ofcom only tracks the number of people who contacted it directly and not those who only complained to Vodafone itself. "The points highlighted in this report largely relate to a major programme we undertook last year to transfer customers on to a new billing system, aimed at simplifying the operation of their accounts and opening up a range of better services, such as 'click and collect'," said a spokeswoman. "Unfortunately, there were some problems during the highly complex migration. Now that the migration exercise is essentially complete, we expect our £2bn investment in our network and services will start to deliver a step change in customer experience." Vodafone said it had about six million consumer pay-monthly subscribers out of a total base of 18 million UK customers. Talk Mobile was the only other mobile operator to experience a rise in pay-monthly customer complaints over the three months - but at nine complaints per 100,000 subscribers, its rate was much lower. Tesco Mobile generated the lowest relative volume of complaints at just one recorded grievance per 100,000 customers.

His team have gone from the fringes of Champions League qualification to 14th, four points above the relegation zone. "We have to win this match on Saturday," said Neville. "That's the pressure I'm putting on myself." Valencia have lost four and drawn five league games under Neville, who was appointed at the start of December. They were also crushed 7-0 by Barcelona in the Copa del Rey last week and must face Lionel Messi and co again in the second leg of their semi-final at the Mestalla on Wednesday. But Neville, who was urged to quit by former Valencia captain Santiago Canizares after the loss to Barcelona, is already looking ahead. When asked about the prospect of relegation, the former England international responded: "I'm not even considering that. "I know the situation we're in. I'm desperate to turn these results around. I will turn these results around." Media playback is not supported on this device But they must win at Munster next Saturday and hope Ulster cannot beat Ospreys to clinch a play-off place. Scott Williams marked his return from injury with a try while Steven Shingler, Steffan Evans and Gareth Davies also crossed. Adam Warren and Adam Hughes crossed for the Dragons. The west Wales region are only a point behind fourth-placed Ulster with one round of fixtures left. The match did not live up to the Ospreys' 40-27 win over Cardiff Blues in the first of the double-header games. But the six tries meant the record Principality Stadium crowd of 68,262 for the event's fourth edition enjoyed 14 touchdowns. Scarlets were 14-0 ahead in as many minutes, with Williams crossing after a break by Michael Collins and Shingler taking advantage of slack defending to dive over between the posts. The Dragons, with nothing but pride to lay for, looked off the pace until Warren scored after Rynard Landman charged down a Shingler kick. From then until half-time it was a kicking contest between O'Brien and Shingler, with a yellow card for Scarlets prop Peter Edwards to provide a little variety as it led to uncontested scrums with Samson Lee injured. It took Scarlets five minutes after the restart to stretch their lead through Evans, though Hughes' sharp finish kept Dragons within one score. Replacement scrum-half Gareth Davies underlined his try-scoring reputation when he claimed the bonus point score six minutes from the end, with Shingler's conversion giving him a 19-point haul. On a day when Wales captain Sam Warburton suffered a shoulder injury, national coach Warren Gatland will have further worries after Scarlets tight-head Lee's blow to the head.

He needs cooperation and support from the European institutions if his renegotiation is to succeed. European Parliament President Martin Schulz promised a constructive approach if Britain were to vote to remain in the EU. But parts of the proposed UK deal need changes to be made to EU legislation - including regulations on welfare payments and social security. Downing Street said senior lawmakers promised to act as swiftly as possible. But Mr Schulz said no parliament could guarantee in advance what the outcome would be. "This is not possible in a democracy," he said. Fair enough, but that will allow David Cameron's opponents to chip away at the idea that this proposed deal is set in stone. It is an argument that will recur throughout the referendum campaign. And it is by no means the only potential obstacle that has been highlighted over the past couple of days. The deal itself is still to be done. Four eastern European countries - Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic (known as the V4) - are demanding that reductions in child benefit payments only apply to new applicants, not to their citizens who are already in the UK. Prime Minister Cameron has already had to back away from what he has called for in the past - an outright abolition of all child benefit for foreign nationals with children living abroad. Now he is being asked to give even more. On a visit to the Czech Republic, the European Council President Donald Tusk, said there was still a lot of talking to do. "The position of the V4 is very clear," he said. "In view of that I have no doubts: There is an extra mile we will have to walk to reach an agreement." Then of course there are still unresolved issues with France and others over language in the proposed deal that sets out the relationship between countries that use the euro and those that don't. Much of it involves quite technical but extremely important financial detail. One clear positive for David Cameron is that no-one wants these negotiations to drag on, and a deal still seems the most likely outcome of this week's EU summit. But the prime minister is already under attack from critics who say he hasn't achieved enough. So any sense that his proposed deal could be watered down still further could be difficult for him to accept.

Studies, published in Nature Biotechnology, corrected errors that led to the sound-sensing hairs in the ear becoming defective. The researchers used a synthetic virus to nip in and correct the defect. "It's unprecedented, this is the first time we've seen this level of hearing restoration," said researcher Dr Jeffrey Holt, from Boston Children's Hospital. About half of all forms of deafness are due to an error in the instructions for life - DNA. In the experiments at Boston Children's Hospital, Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School, the mice had a genetic disorder called Usher syndrome. It means there are inaccurate instructions for building microscopic hairs inside the ear. In healthy ears, sets of outer hair cells magnify sound waves and inner hair cells then convert sounds to electrical signals that go to the brain. The hairs normally form these neat V-shaped rows. But in Usher syndrome they become disorganised - severely affecting hearing. The researchers developed a synthetic virus that was able to "infect" the ear with the correct instructions for building hair cells. Experiments showed that once profoundly deaf mice could hear sounds down to 25 decibels - about the volume of a whisper. Dr Gwenaelle Geleoc told the BBC: "We were extremely surprised to see such a level of rescue, and we're really pleased with what we have achieved." There are about 100 different types of genetic defect that can cause hearing loss. A different therapy would be needed for each one. Dr Holt told the BBC News website: "We've really gotten a good understanding of the basic science, of the biology of the inner ear, and now we're at the point of being able to translate that knowledge and apply it to human patients in the very near future." One of the big questions will be whether the synthetic virus is safe. It was based on adeno-associated virus, which has already been used in other forms of gene therapy. The researchers also want to prove the effect is long-lasting - they know it works for at least six months. There are also questions about the "window of opportunity". While the therapy worked in mice treated at birth, it failed when given just 10 days later. Dr Ralph Holme, the director of research at Action on Hearing Loss, said: "This research is very encouraging. "However, there is a concern that delivering this gene therapy at birth to babies with Usher may be too late [as the ears are more developed in people than mice by birth]. "The technology may be better suited to treating more progressive forms of hearing loss." Follow James on Twitter. But perching just 28ft (8.5m) from certain doom, her home at Happisburgh in Norfolk brings a whole new meaning to living on the edge. Great chunks of land have fallen around her beloved house since she moved to erosion-hit Beach Road five years ago. But this winter has really taken its toll, and for the first time the retired teacher and grandmother-of-six has to admit she is starting to feel "threatened" and "frightened" by the creeping coastline. "I work on the assumption that if the house becomes seriously unsafe that my cats with their uncanny perceptions will yowl and not want to be in the house, but I'm told that I'm wrong on this and cats can equally well fall over cliffs," said Ms Nierop-Reading. "But I do feel threatened now because of the rate at which it is going on the corner. I'm frightened sometimes, which I haven't been up until now." A year ago virtually all of Ms Nierop-Reading's neighbours moved out after taking compensation from the council. However, £53,000 was not enough to sway her, and she is now the last permanent resident living on the crumbling cliff top. Erosion has threatened north Norfolk's idyll landscape for centuries, with communities such as Whimpwell and most of Eccles now consigned to historical records. But now it is Happisburgh's turn, and after a recent clear-up on the beach below, Ms Nierop-Reading reckons she only has about three years left before she is forced to go. "It's actually getting very serious," she said. "Unfortunately North Norfolk District Council took away all the unsightly stuff at the corner on the beach and the revetments, which although damaged broke the force of the waves. So I am now being put under threat diagonally from the East. "I lost a largish chunk - about 10ft - about two or three months ago. On March 4th I was shining the torch along the next remaining bit of fence to show people what was there. The next morning, I looked out of my window and the next section of fencing was falling over the cliff. "On the 13th the cliff was up to the next fencepost, so it's going very, very fast." But the 1930s timber-framed bungalow has become more than just a home for Ms Nierop-Reading. It has become her platform for protest, believing successive governments have failed to fully address the threat of the sea. Recent Environment Agency statistics show about 200 properties in England are vulnerable to coastal erosion, with 2,000 predicted to become vulnerable over the next 20 years. Current government policy states it is not possible to prevent all areas from erosion, but "action is being taken to manage the risks and reduce its impact". But despite the risks - having that sea view day-in, day-out is what Ms Nierop-Reading says will keep her going right until the very end. "I've had windows broken by the wind hurling things at me and I've definitely got tiles off the roof. When the wind is blowing and gusting furiously I can feel the house actually lifting slightly as it gets underneath. "There are ripples going across my glass of water beside my bed and the glass in the windows bows - that's frightening. "I knew one day I'd go, but what I'm more concerned about is the fact that we still have this stupid piecemeal policy right round the coast and there is no political will at a high level to save the coastline. "But it doesn't put me off. I call it my 'million dollar' view. People say, 'Why didn't you take the £53,000 I was offered and run?'. My view is worth infinitely more than that. "Either that or I'm just plain stupid. Take your pick." Regulated fares such as season tickets are pegged to Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation in July, which was 1%. Rail fares have risen nearly three times faster than wages in the UK over the past five years, analysis has suggested. But rail minister Claire Perry said the government's plans would put an end to "inflation-busting fare increases". A study by the TUC suggested regulated fare prices jumped 25% between 2010 and 2015, while average pay rose 9% over the same period. Rail unions are campaigning for train lines to be run by the public sector, which they say will cut prices. Regulated fares cover about half of all tickets sold, including season tickets and day returns. The government had already announced that regulated rail fares in England would rise by no more than RPI inflation for this parliament. A restriction limiting increases in these fares to RPI inflation has been in place for the past two years, during the latter years of the coalition government. "Next year's fares will see some of the lowest increases for decades," said rail minister Claire Perry. Speaking to Radio 5 live, she said that the 1% rise in fares from January "is actually a real-terms freeze". She added: "With the economy recovering, and wages recovering, for the first time in over a decade you'll actually see wage growth outstripping any change in rail fares." But TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said many commuters were "seriously out of pocket" because of the sharp rise in fares. "If ministers really want to help hard-pressed commuters, they need to return services to the public sector. "It would allow much bigger savings to be passed on to passengers," she added. Action for Rail - the TUC and rail union-led campaign pushing to bring the railways back into public ownership - maintains that £1.5bn could be saved over the next five years if routes, including the Northern, Transpennine and West Coast Main Line, were returned to the public sector. A third of this would come from recouping the money that private train firms pay in dividends to shareholders, according to Action for Rail, which commissioned the research from transport consultancy Transport for Quality of Life. The analysis comes as a separate report from transport charity Campaign for Better Transport found the UK lagged behind the rest of Europe on flexible rail tickets. Currently, season ticket holders only save if they use their tickets for five out of seven days, but it said shorter season tickets, such as four- or three-day-a-week tickets, would enable part-time commuters to make savings as well. "The UK government and train operators are dragging their feet, meaning many part-time workers are being priced off the railway," said the charity's public transport campaigner, Martin Abrams. Al-Shabab leader Ahmed Abdi Godane, known as Mukhtar Abu Zubair, said he "pledged obedience" to al-Qaeda head Ayman al-Zawahiri. The two groups have long worked together and foreigners are known to fight alongside Somali militants. The announcement comes as al-Shabab is under pressure on several fronts. Is al-Shabab on the back foot?Profile: Ayman al-ZawahiriQ&A: Who are al-Shabab?'Lifeline' US-Somalia remittances on hold Africa Union troops supporting the forces of the UN-backed government have taken control of the capital, Mogadishu, while both Kenya and Ethiopia have sent forces into Somalia to push back the Islamists. Al-Shabab, however, still controls many southern and central areas of the country. However, correspondents say al-Shabab's policy of banning many foreign aid agencies from areas it controls during the region's worst drought in 60 years has lost the group some of its popular support. The United Nations says that although the famine in Somalia is officially over, a third of the population still needs urgent feeding. BBC Somali editor Yusuf Garaad Omar says the merger of al-Shabab and al-Qaeda has the potential to change the dynamics of the conflict in Somalia. During the 15-minute Arabic-language video posted on jihadist websites, Zawahiri said the move was "good news" for al-Qaeda. Analysts say the announcement helps boost al-Qaeda after its leader Osama Bin Laden was killed last year. "Al-Qaeda needs to project power and influence, particularly given its own operational impotence," Australian analyst Leah Farrall told Reuters news agency. "Al-Shabab's acceptance under the al-Qaeda umbrella probably came with permission from Zawahiri for the group to launch external operations against the West." This week, the London-based Royal United Services Institute think-tank warned that about 50 Britons were training with al-Shabab and could return to attack the UK. Last week, William Hague was also in Mogadishu, the first visit by a British foreign secretary in 20 years. The UK government is holding a conference in London on 23 February to try to find a political solution to Somalia's problems, and tackle piracy and extremism. Somalia has been without an effective central government since 1991 and since then, has been convulsed by conflict. Merton council approved an application to develop the greyhound stadium site in Plough Lane last year, but neighbouring Wandsworth objected. A new consultation will take place, with a final decision due later this year. Labour's mayoral contender Sadiq Khan has opposed the plans. Wimbledon chief executive Erik Samuelson said he was "disappointed". In December, Wandsworth Council's planning chair called on the Mayor to step in, saying the plans for a 20,000-seater stadium, leisure centre and 602 flats would have a "serious and adverse" impact in Wandsworth, especially in Earlsfield and Tooting. Councillor Sarah McDermott cited fears that local hospital and GP services would be oversubscribed, and that the planned on-site supermarket would threaten local shops. She also had concerns about parking and transport. "We are certainly not opposed to the site being developed, nor to it being used for a football ground and to provide new homes," she said. "But we are opposed to this specific application because in our view it simply does not properly address or offer any solutions to the problems it will create in the area." Mr Khan, who holds the nearby Tooting constituency, also objected to the plans last year. Mr Samuelson said the club "would immediately set about understanding the detailed reasons for the Mayor's decision". "While this is a setback, the story is not over," he added. "We have made a very strong case for the application and we will do so again. We remain confident that we will be successful, albeit after some delay to our aspirations." Wimbledon FC left its original home at Plough Lane in 1991 because legislation demanded all-seater stadiums. It shared Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park before moving to Milton Keynes. Many fans protested against the move and decided to form AFC Wimbledon as a non-League club. It rose back to league status and currently plays at Kingsmeadow in Kingston-upon-Thames. The forthcoming closure of the Wimbledon dog track - the last greyhound stadium with a London postcode - was recently described as a "crime against happiness" by the Racing Post. A team from Newcastle University decided to test the theory that people behave better when they think they are being watched. For two years they studied crime rates at campus racks and found a drop of 62% at those which displayed eye posters. The crime-fighting idea is now being tested at various train stations by British Transport Police (BTP). For the first year the Newcastle team monitored bike thefts from all racks across campus for a control figure, then placed the eye signs in three locations, leaving the rest of the racks without signs. The idea for the research was inspired by a 2010 study which showed diners in a canteen were more likely to clear away their tray when there were eyes watching them. Academics found that bike racks which had eyes placed above them experienced 62% fewer thefts than the previous year, while those without eyes saw thefts increase by 63%. Lead researcher Prof Daniel Nettle, said: "We don't know exactly what is happening here but this just adds to the growing evidence that images of eyes can have a big impact on behaviour. "We think that the presence of eye images can encourage co-operative behaviour. One strong possibility is that the images of eyes work by making people feel watched. "We care what other people think about us, and as a result we behave better when we feel we are being observed." Barry Sharp, from BTP's London North Area Crime Team, said: "Research shows that this sign has had some promising results at Newcastle University. "We are always looking at new ways to tackle cycle theft at rail stations." The findings have been published in the journal PLoS ONE. The 20-year-old, who spent time with Eastleigh and Billericay Town last season, was released by Scottish Premiership side Rangers last summer. "I took a gamble and moved to Rangers under Mark Warburton, which was a great experience, but I didn't make a first-team start," he told the club website. "I want to settle at a club now and establish myself." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Wigan, the 26-year-old's former club, have first refusal to sign him. Tomkins says he has not agreed a deal with any side, but has confirmed he will not be switching codes to union. "I'm definitely going to be in Super League, I can say that. I can't say exactly where because I've not put pen to paper," he told BBC Radio 5 live. Media playback is not supported on this device Tomkins had previously hinted he would be keen try rugby union at some point in his career. He played a game in the 15-man code for the Barbarians against Australia in 2013, while his older brother Joel spent three years at Premiership side Saracens before returning to Wigan last season. But Tomkins, who cited homesickness as his main reason for wanting to return to England, will remain in rugby league and Wigan are strong favourites to sign him. "Everyone's going to think that's going to happen, aren't they?" added Tomkins when asked about a move back to the Warriors. "That was predictable that everyone would assume that. "It's one of those where I can't say anything until I do sign somewhere and it will all be out of the way. "Once it gets released it will be a lot easier for me wherever I am," continued Tomkins. "I don't think the announcement will take too long and hopefully it will be out of the way, not only for me but for people asking questions." Before his move to the National Rugby League at the end of 2013, Tomkins scored 144 tries in 152 appearances for Wigan after coming through their youth system and was voted Super League's Man of Steel in 2012. If he returns to Wigan, he will part of a squad that also includes two of his brothers - forward Joel, 28, and hooker Logan, 22. Meanwhile, Salford owner Marwan Koukash has said he would back any move for Tomkins if Red Devils head coach Iestyn Harris wanted to sign him. Salford failed with a bid for the England back, who can also play stand-off. Writing in his column in the Manchester Evening News, Koukash said: "I am pleased it looks as if Sam Tomkins is coming back to Super League and if Iestyn wants him, then we will go for him. "It is down to the coach, we will back him to the hilt." Spurs midfielder Mousa Dembele has also been charged with an alleged act of violent conduct during the 2-2 draw. The FA said Dembele's alleged eye-gouge on Diego Costa is more serious than a normal charge of violent conduct. That means a three-game ban "is clearly insufficient" if he is found guilty. Dembele, 28, has until 18:00 BST on Thursday to respond to the charge, while Chelsea and Tottenham have until 18:00 on Monday. There were 12 yellow cards during the match, which saw two mass brawls, as Tottenham's hopes of winning the Premier League were ended. Media playback is not supported on this device Spurs needed to beat Chelsea to retain hopes of winning the title but lost a two-goal lead, which meant Leicester were crowned champions for the first time in their history. Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino stepped on to the pitch at one point to separate Spurs defender Danny Rose and Chelsea's Willian, and at full-time Rose was also involved in an incident that resulted in Blues boss Guus Hiddink being pushed to the floor. Referee Mark Clattenburg did not punish Dembele for his actions but television replays appeared to show the Belgian putting his fingers in Costa's eye during a first-half skirmish. An FA statement said: "Off-the-ball incidents which are not seen at the time by the match officials are referred to a panel of three former elite referees. "Each referee panel member will review the video footage independently of one another to determine whether they consider it a sending-off offence."For retrospective action to be taken, and an FA charge to follow, the decision of the panel must be unanimous." Media playback is not supported on this device PC Gareth Browning was on foot in Whitley, Reading, in November 2013 when he was hit by a black Mazda driven by Luke Hayward. Hayward was jailed for nine years in 2014 for causing grievous bodily harm with intent and dangerous driving. PC Browning, who was medically retired, died on Saturday aged 36. Thames Valley Police said following PC Browning's death it would liaise with the coroner and Crown Prosecution Service. Chief Constable Francis Habgood described his former officer as "hugely respected". He said he had needed "constant care" following the crash. "Our thoughts are with Gareth's family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time," he added. "We continue to support Gareth's family as well as staff and officers who have been affected." TJ Lane, 19, was recaptured early on Friday. Local police tweeted "We got him... one more to go." Lane is serving three life sentences after pleading guilty to the murders in Chardon High School in February 2012. Two other inmates escaped in the same incident, including 45-year-old convicted robber Clifford Opperud. Details of how the men escaped from the Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution have not been released, but local media reported they scaled a fence during a recreation break. At around 02:00 local time (06:00 GMT) the Lima Police Department confirmed that "Thomas Michael 'TJ' Lane III is in custody. He has been returned to the prison." Lane was armed with a pitchfork when he was recaptured, unconfirmed reports quoting police said. The mother of one of Lane's victims earlier said she was fearful when she heard the news of his escape. "I'm disgusted that it happened. I'm extremely scared and panic-stricken. I can't believe it", said Dina Parmertor, whose son Daniel, 16, was among the dead. Clifford Opperud, who was serving a sentence for aggravated robbery, burglary and kidnapping, was caught at around 04:20 local time (08:20 GMT), police said. A third inmate briefly escaped before being recaptured, police spokesman Andy Green said. Lane pleaded guilty last year to three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault. He used a .22-calibre pistol to fire 10 shots at a group of students in Chardon High School's cafeteria, killing Demetrius Hewlin, 16, and Russell King, 17, as well as Daniel Parmertor. Three others were wounded in the attack, which took place when Lane was 17. Despite evidence he suffered psychosis and hallucinations, he was found competent to be tried as an adult. During his trial, Lane smirked and smiled as victims' relatives spoke. During his sentencing he wore a T-shirt with the word "Killer" written on it. The graveyard was cordoned off at Annagry, a Gaeltacht village in the west of the county, during the investigation. The police operation was in conjunction with the coroner's office. The purpose of the investigation is not yet clear. South Wales Police was called to a house on Ynyswen Road, Treorchy, at about 11:10 BST on Tuesday. A man and woman, both aged 77, were found dead at the property. Det Ch Insp Mark Lewis said: "The cause of their deaths has not yet been established and we are investigating the circumstances at present. " A plane carrying a banner reading: 'Kenwright & Co #time to go NSNO,' flew over St Mary's Stadium during Everton's 3-0 win at Southampton on Saturday. "I just heard about it," Martinez said afterwards. "I never saw it. "We need to be together, help each other and push in the same direction because that makes a difference." The Toffees supporters who organised the protest are from newly formed group '@EvertonBoardOUT', plus 'The Blue Union' and fan website 'School of Science'. They are unhappy with the level of the investment in the team and the direction of the club under the current regime. The slogan 'NSNO' on the plane's banner refers to the club's Latin motto of 'Nil satis nisi optimum' which translates to mean 'Nothing but the best is good enough'. School of Science editor Joe Jennings told the Daily Mirror on Friday: "The time has come for Bill Kenwright to accept that his performance as chairman has been unacceptable and to let go of the club." But Martinez gave his backing to Kenwright, who has been on the club's board since 1989 and chairman since 1999. After seeing his side see off Saints with an impressive away performance, Martinez added: "I will never shy away: we are a big club, we've got a big history and an incredible expectation. "But as a manager and as football players we understand that, we embrace those expectations and the way to get everyone excited and happy is performing in the manner we did on the pitch. "The chairman is an incredible Evertonian, who has done a fantastic job over the years. Only he knows the effort he had to put in for the football club." World number 43 Evans took a final-set tie-break against Thiago Monteiro to triumph 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 7-6 (7-2). The 26-year-old's only two previous wins on the surface at tour level came in Davis Cup dead rubbers. Edmund, the world number 42, brushed aside Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 6-3 6-4 and faces Austria's Dominic Thiem next. Evans will play Mischa Zverev, who beat Andy Murray at this year's Australian Open, in the second round. His most recent Davis Cup win on clay came earlier this month as GB lost to France in the quarter-finals. He was outplayed by Chardy in his first Davis Cup singles rubber, before beating Julien Benneteau as the match descended into chaos. Much of the build-up to the tie focused on Evans' inexperience on clay, and dislike for the surface. British number two Edmund, who also lost to Chardy in the singles at the Davis Cup, exacted revenge on the world number 70 with a straight-set victory in Barcelona. The process to replace Kathryn Stone has been plagued with problems. Alex Bunting, who lost a leg in an IRA bomb attack, said he would only believe the long wait for an appointment was over "when they announce it on television". "We do need someone asap, because if we don't get them as soon as possible its going to get worse for victims," he told BBC NI's The View. "They've told us about three times over this past year they were going to get someone appointed very soon and we're still waiting. "I know the process is finished in this round. This is the second round of interviews for a commissioner. I have to say the say I'll believe it is the day they announce it on television." In January, First Minister Peter Robinson told the assembly the first round had failed to produce a winner and there had been "a disappointingly small pool of appointable candidates". However, it is understood two people were judged to be appointable, but not appropriate for the role. Mr Robinson said the salary for the post may have to be increased. It was re-advertised more widely and a second round of interviews was conducted in May. A spokesperson for the Office of the First and Deputy First Minister said the process was at "an advanced stage" and they hoped to make an announcement shortly. The hiatus has caused a problem for the Victims Forum. Several members have left without being replaced because that can only be done by a commissioner. The secretary to the Victims Commission, John Beggs, has been carrying out the role on an interim basis but said the situation had been "extremely difficult." "We have been able to get on with our research on victims issues," he said. "We've been able to get on with our engagement with individuals and groups, [but] to bring that to a culmination we really need a commissioner to consider that advice and take it directly to ministers; to take it directly to government and to make sure it is acted upon and that is the missing part of the equation as it stands. "I can't give opinion and commentary as a victims commissioner could under their legal authority, so in many ways a lot of the work we are doing goes unseen and unheard in the media and in the sector and that is very frustrating for us in the commission, particularly at a time when there are so many victims issue in the press and in the media." The failure to appoint has been criticised by two former victims commissioners, Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt and Patricia MacBride. Mr Nesbitt said Stormont was in danger of losing all credibility because it could not make difficult decisions. Ms MacBride said it was "appalling" that victims and survivors were being put in a position where they were having to "fight their own battles" to get the help they needed.

Prices fell as fears eased that the airstrikes in Yemen could disrupt oil supplies. On the currency markets, the pound fell 0.16% against the dollar to $1.4828. Against the euro, sterling climbed 0.28% to €1.3696. Energy and Climate Change Secretary Amber Rudd said measures to curb rising temperatures are about ensuring economic security. She also sought to redress the view that green policies are "left-wing". But Friends of the Earth have accused the Conservatives of "dismantling" 10 years' worth of low-carbon policies. Ms Rudd is treading a difficult line - Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to lead the world to a climate change deal at a summit in Paris in November. But Chancellor George Osborne has announced a slew of policy changes which will increase UK emissions. In recent weeks he has scrapped subsidies for onshore wind and commercial solar - the two cheapest forms of clean energy. He has also slashed the energy efficiency budget, ended the tax break for clean cars, abolished rules on zero carbon housing, lowered taxes on polluting firms and introduced a tax on clean energy. Environmental organisation Friends of the Earth said Mr Cameron was "sticking up two fingers" to nations at the French climate summit. Ms Rudd has to defend the position of both her bosses - and repel those commentators on the political right who believe climate change is not a problem at all. "It cannot be left to one part of the political spectrum to dictate the solution - and some of the loudest voices have approached the issue from a left-wing perspective," she said. "So I can understand the suspicion of those who see climate action as some sort of cover for anti-growth, anti-capitalist, proto-socialism. "But it was Margaret Thatcher who first put climate change on the international agenda. She (said) 'the danger of global warming is real enough for us to make changes and sacrifices, so that we do not live at the expense of future generations.' I agree." Ms Rudd insisted that the Conservatives' approach was to devise policies to stimulate low carbon businesses and get them off subsidy as soon as possible to keep bills down. Industry bodies say the government's recent sudden changes to low-carbon policies have created mass uncertainty for investors. But Ms Rudd said: "The Conservatives are committed to action on climate change and we are clear that our long-term economic plan goes hand in hand with a long-term plan for climate action. "Climate action is about security, plain and simple - economic security. "The economic impact of unchecked climate change would be profound. Lower growth, higher prices, a lower quality of life. It is the ultimate insurance policy." Craig Bennett, head of Friends of the Earth, told BBC News: "This is grotesque hypocrisy from a government that has spent the past few weeks dismantling an architecture of low-carbon policies carefully put together with cross-party agreement over the course of two parliaments. "They have swept it all away without signalling their intent in their manifesto. They have no mandate for this - it's David Cameron sticking up two fingers to other nations at the climate conference in Paris. Unbelievable." John Sauven, head of Greenpeace, agreed. "We are deeply shocked by the vandalism of the government which appears to be driven totally by ideology. "Their policies will not lead to the low-carbon society they claim they want… they are destroying the UK renewables industry just at the point where it's almost competitive - it's madness. "We are moving since the election from the 'greenest government ever' to the greyest government ever." The CBI recently warned that the government's changes were creating massive uncertainty and risking inwards investment into the UK. But Ms Rudd insisted: "Governments can set the direction, set the vision, set the ambition. We can create the framework, create the rules, provide the support, predictability and stability needed. "But that support must help technologies eventually stand on their own two feet, not encourage a permanent reliance on subsidy." The libertarian climate blogger Andrew Montford applauded the government's policy shifts. He told BBC News: "The environmental and human cost of futile gestures like windfarms and biofuels could not have stopped soon enough. "This rare glimpse of energy policy sanity in Westminster should be followed by a long hard look at serious low-carbon solutions like modular nuclear reactors." The UK's policy changes, though, are being noticed internationally. Previously the UK Climate Change Act has been regarded as a world-leading climate policy but critics say that accolade is now seriously in doubt. They ask if a country as rich as the UK finds clean energy unaffordable, what hope is there for most of the rest of the world? Follow Roger on Twitter @rharrabin

Leicester's Zimbabwe-born flanker Mike Williams is included, as is Wasps' Fiji-born back-rower Nathan Hughes. Harlequins' 20-year-old centre Joe Marchant, Wasps' Dan Robson, Sale's Josh Beaumont and Worcester's Ben Te'o are the other uncapped players. And there is a surprise return for Gloucester number eight Ben Morgan. The back row forward has not played for England since the World Cup last year. The 37-man squad will gather in Brighton on Sunday for a three-day camp, with the final squad to be announced on 26 October. England's first game of the autumn series is against South Africa on Saturday, 12 November, before matches against Fiji, Argentina and Australia. With James Haskell and Jack Clifford ruled out by injury, Wasps flanker Jones is now a prime contender to play at open-side against the Springboks. "We're not looking for your traditional seven [open-side flanker] because at the moment we don't have that in England," said Jones. "We're looking for a more destructive, defensive-type player like a Haskell, so Sam Jones and Mike Williams come into that category." Haskell will attend the camp but will not train as he continues his recovery from the toe injury that finally gave up on him in the second-Test win against Australia this summer. Saracens' fly-half Alex Lozowski has been included in a wider 45-man Elite Player Squad, but will be not be part of next week's training camp. Northampton back rower Teimana Harrison and Exeter back Ollie Devoto will both be involved in the camp next week, but have not been named in the Elite Player Squad. Captain and hooker Dylan Hartley and fly-half/inside centre Owen Farrell, who are both injury concerns as they are yet to return to action as they recover from back problems, will attend the training squad. "Owen's injury is one of those where you never really know how long it's going to take to repair," said Jones. "But he is the sort of player who can come back very quickly. He needs only a small amount of game time, so we're still confident he can be ready for November." Notable absentees from the 45-man elite squad include Tom Youngs, Tom Wood, Luther Burrell and Danny Cipriani. "They're are some disappointed players out there but it's not the end of the road for those guys," said Jones. Expanding on Cipriani's omission, Jones said: "It was a difficult conversation. Danny knows what he's got to do. He's a talented player but at the moment he's not number one or two in England in terms of stand-offs. "I don't see him as someone who comes in as [third or fourth choice]. He likes to be the main man. When he plays well enough, he'll be in the squad." Jones also confirmed that England Under-20 backs and attack coach Rory Teague will join his staff in November as a part-time skills coach.

"Of far more relevance ahead of the autumn internationals is the 37-man training squad. All these players are fit - or nearly fit - for selection, and barring further injury it's from this group of players that Eddie Jones will select his matchday squad to take on South Africa."

You may not have heard of it, but you're likely to have used it. Twilio is a platform that enables developers to incorporate phone calls and text messages into their apps. To give one example, when you sign-up to messaging app WhatsApp and need to verify your number - the text you get with the verification code will have been sent using Twilio's system. Also, if you get a call or text from an Uber driver, it's done through Twilio in order to not divulge real numbers. Twilio is also one of the tech industry's so-called "unicorns" - the much-mocked term given to start-ups that are valued at over $1bn (£700m). The valuations are sometimes considered absurd. Companies that barely have any assets, let alone profits, can become unicorns on the basis of a big investment. The most striking recent example is perhaps Uber. Here's a transportation company that owns no cars, employs zero drivers*, and is reportedly looking at a yearly loss of well over a billion dollars. But it's the idea of Uber that is thriving. Much like one of its journeys on a Friday night, the value of the company is surging. Last month, the Saudi government invested $3.5bn in Uber - a company now considered to be worth a staggering $62.5bn. It's shaky ground, and one that's only really tested when a company takes the leap onto Wall Street - although even then you could argue it's just moving from one pot of speculative money into the next. There has been something of a tech IPO drought of late. Some estimates say more companies in the past 12 months have moved in the other direction - public-to-private. Acquisitions have been seen as a more attractive exit route for investors, a less volatile way to cash-in. It's no wonder companies are nervous about facing Wall Street's standards. Google parent company Alphabet and Apple did a valuation do-si-do earlier this year over which was the most valuable company in the world… and yet investors still hit them hard for not reaching tough targets. And of what few recent tech IPOs we've had, the reception hasn't exactly been encouraging. SecureWorks, formerly part of Dell, was spun out and floated in April. It was poorly received, debuting at less than the company had hoped. Will Twilio fare any differently? On Wednesday, the company announced it was pricing its IPO at $15 per share. An optimistic start - that's more than the $12-14 range it had it had first anticipated, and would value the company at an altogether unicorny $1.2bn. On Thursday we'll learn what Wall Street thinks of Twilio. At a time when investors are getting tired of tech start-ups not making any money, they may be looking hard at some of Twilio's obvious weaknesses. Revenue has been growing quickly, but the site isn't close to turning a profit. Investors will also be nervous about the fact that 17% of Twilio's revenue right now comes from just one customer: Whatsapp. If the Facebook-owned app decides it no longer needs Twilio's services, that's a big chunk of revenue out the door. San Francisco's unicorns will be looking extremely closely at Twilio when it begins trading tomorrow. A boost for the start-up industry would bring a serious dose of relief to investors and entrepreneurs who rely on optimism above all else to get ideas moving.

Nicholas Stephen Mann, 24, of Hop Store, Kingsdown, Bristol, has been charged with conspiracy to steal between 29 September and 8 May. He has also been charged with assault by beating and assault with intent to resist arrest. Seven machines have been attacked since the start of the year. He remains in custody and will appear before Bristol Magistrates later. Bliss said there was a shortage of neonatal nurses and doctors, and safety standards were not being met. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) joined the charity in asking for more investment. The Welsh Government said £85m was being spent on training staff. In a report published on Wednesday, Bliss claimed: The report said "investment in staffing is desperately needed", and the Welsh Government must fund more nurse training places in child health. Bliss chief executive Caroline Davey said: "It is clear that neonatal services in Wales are under extreme pressure and staff are being spread too thin. "Without urgent action, the gap between the standards required and the care provided will widen even further." Dr Mair Parry, RCPCH officer for Wales, agreed that vacancy levels are too high and supported Bliss's recommendations. She said: "Babies in neonatal units are extremely vulnerable - they need and deserve the highest level of care. To do this, all neonatal units must meet the required service standards. "This is only possible if they have adequate staffing levels allowing them to cope with the demand placed upon them." A Welsh Government spokesman said there has been steady and continuing improvement in neonatal standards since 2008. "To support the development of our workforce, we have announced an £85m package of investment in the education and training of healthcare professionals in Wales, including neonatal staff. "The findings of the Bliss report will be used by the neonatal network to help all units reflect on, and plan, for any changes needed for the future." Dr Jenny Calvert, of the Wales Neonatal Network, said they are working to further develop medical training in neonatology to help recruit more trainee doctors. A number of areas in East Yorkshire and North East Lincolnshire have been worst affected by the flooding. A yellow weather warning is in place for London and south-east England, where downpours have caused localised flooding and some disruption to travel. The worst of the weather is expected to clear towards the south east, with drier conditions forecast for Thursday. The Met Office said heavy rain would "sink slowly southwards across the east and south east of England" during Wednesday, slowly dying out by Thursday morning. Some travel routes in the south east of England have been affected, with flooding in Kidbrooke and Greenwich, both in south-east London, disrupting trains between London and Dartford. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service reported a number of calls from residents about flooding in the area. The worst-affected parts of England overnight were Immingham, in Lincolnshire, and Grimsby, with some homes flooded and many roads waterlogged. In some places there were reports of standing water up to 3ft (1m) deep. In Immingham, Lisa said her 68-year-old mother had phoned her at 04:00 BST to say water was coming in. "When I got here it had flooded the whole bottom of the house right through to the back garden," she said. "We can't get rid of the water in the house until the water outside has cleared. "Its just devastating." Allen Cunningham, from Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, said the flooding had been very localised. "That doesn't negate on the impact it has on those people who have been affected by flooding. "We have had pumps working throughout the night." He said he expected water levels to drop quickly throughout the day as the weather improves. The MP for Great Grimsby, Melanie Onn, posted on Twitter some roads in her constituency were "like a river" and that the water was "over my ankles". Mr Mueller warned such divides cause "slavery and pain" and would "destroy the lives of millions". The German city was divided by the Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1989. Mr Mueller's statement came as Mr Trump and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto agreed to "work out their differences" over the issue. The planned wall was one of Mr Trump's key election campaign pledges, but it has cast a shadow over the US's relationship with its neighbour. Mr Pena Nieto has repeatedly stated that Mexico will not pay for the wall and has condemned a US suggestion that it may impose a 20% tax on his country's imports to finance the structure. "We Berliners know best how much suffering was caused by the division of an entire continent," Mr Mueller said in a statement, referring to Europe's "Iron Curtain". He said the city could not "silently look on as a country sets about building a new wall". "We cannot let our historical experience get trashed by the very people to whom we owe much of our freedom: the Americans. "I call on the president not to go down the road of isolation," the statement reads (in German). "Mr President, don't build this wall." At a joint news conference on Friday at the White House with the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, Mr Trump said he had had a "very good call" with Mr Pena Nieto. The White House later released a statement describing the telephone conversation as "productive and constructive", adding that both presidents recognised the "differences of positions" on the issue of the proposed wall. "Both presidents have instructed their teams to continue the dialogue to strengthen this important strategic and economic relationship," the statement said. He did not reveal the subject of the conversation with Mr Nieto when questioned at the White House, but said the US was "no longer going to be the country that doesn't know what it's doing". Welcome to a brave new world of international diplomacy, Donald Trump style. The new president seems determined to run foreign policy the way he handled his business empire and public interactions - vying for dominance and exploiting weakness. Recalcitrant clients were either denied payment or sued. Personal adversaries were mocked. Political foes were demeaned. On the international stage, we see these attitudes playing out in Mr Trump's goading, belligerent remarks directed at Mexico and its president. With a gross domestic product that's a fraction of the US's, Mexico is the Rosie O'Donnell or "Little Marco" Rubio on Mr Trump's world stage. Contrast that with the president's deferential treatment of Russia's Vladimir Putin or British PM Theresa May during her recent White House visit. 1,900 miles Length of the border (3,100 km) 650 miles Distance the current barrier covers $10bn-$12bn Amount Donald Trump estimates the new wall will cost $25bn Amount Washington Post study estimates the new wall will cost When it comes to foreign relations, Mr Trump respects strength and tradition. His admiration for Winston Churchill is not so different from past praise of General George Patton or actor John Wayne - strong men from a different era. Mr Trump was elected because voters - particularly blue-collar workers - believed he would fight for them and economic benefits would follow. His critics warned his temperament would disrupt global order. We'll eventually find out who was right. Mexico's increasing nervousness over its northern neighbour appears to have prompted Mexico's richest man to step in. In a rare news conference, Carlos Slim said Mr Trump - who he spoke out against during the campaign, but has since had dinner with - is a good negotiator, but "he is not Terminator". Mr Slim, who has offered to help his government negotiate with Mr Trump, added that he believed "the circumstances in the United States are very favourable for Mexico", and policies aimed at boosting the US economy would also help Mexico. He also said he expected Trump's "hyperactivity" to cool down with time. The Equality Trust charity compared the £5.3m average pay of a FTSE 100 chief executive with the £13,660 earned by someone on the living wage. The findings come as the government prepares to publish the findings of its consultation on corporate pay. One proposal suggested forcing firms to reveal the pay gap between their chief executives and average workers. The government's green paper on corporate governance was opened to public consultation in November. Other suggestions aimed at curbing corporate pay included improving the effectiveness of remuneration committees and the extent to which they must consult shareholders and workers on executive pay levels. The Equality Trust, which was set up in 2009 and aims to reduce economic inequality, examined the 2015 annual reports of FTSE 100 companies. It found that more than two thirds of chief executives were paid in excess of 100 times the average UK salary of £27,615. Only six of the bosses were paid less than £1m in that year. The charity found the company with the biggest pay gap was WPP. Its chief executive, Sir Martin Sorrell, earned £70m in pay, bonuses and share plans in 2015 - 5,154 times more than someone on the living wage and 2,550 times higher than those on the UK average wage. One third of investors in WPP - the world's largest advertising group - failed to back Sir Martin's pay package at its annual meeting. He defended the package saying his pay was based on the performance of WPP - . Responding to the Equality Trust survey, a WPP spokesman said Sir Martin's package "reflected WPP's strong outperformance of both its comparator group and the FTSE 100 over the five-year period ended December 2015". Other firms found to have a big gap between pay for chief executives and average workers were Reckitt Benckiser, Sky and Shire. The Equality Trust said: "Too often, bosses are treated as untouchable talent to be retained at all costs, while millions of workers are seen merely as costs to be reduced." It added that it was campaigning for mandatory pay ratio reporting to be introduced for all medium-sized and larger companies in a bid to help reduce levels of pay inequality in the UK. The survey comes as Centrica's annual report reveals that chief executive Iain Conn enjoyed a near-40% rise in remuneration to £4.15m last year. Most of the increase is due to a share award he was given when he joined the company in January 2015 from BP. Government plans to remove the right of senior doctors to opt out of weekend working have provoked an angry response. In a sign of the sensitivity of the issue, there have been differences of opinion over the status of the talks. The Department of Health argued it was "encouraging" that both sides were sitting down for discussions. The BMA response was that these talks, which also cover junior doctors' contracts, are "exploratory" and it should not be presumed that they will definitely pave the way for substantive negotiations. The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt called in mid-July for the BMA to decide quickly whether to enter negotiations over seven-day working for consultants in non-emergency care. If there was no decision within six weeks, he said, he would impose a new contract for newly qualified consultants. The Whitehall interpretation of when those six weeks expire is mid-September, allowing for holidays. It is understood that BMA consultants' representatives will review early next month whether there is scope, in their view, for formal negotiations to take place. Mr Hunt's argument is that the public should be entitled to an NHS which provides a genuinely seven-day service. He says patients can be needlessly detained in hospital over a weekend because consultants are not available till Monday to analyse test results and authorise discharges. He has repeatedly pointed to higher death rates for weekend admissions - 16% higher on a Sunday and 11% higher on a Saturday compared to admissions on a Wednesday. Some have argued, though, that this has more to do with people arriving at hospital more seriously ill at weekends than during the week, rather than anything to do with staffing. Questions have been asked about the Government's suggestion that 6,000 excess deaths per year are caused by what's described as the "Monday to Friday culture" in the NHS. Officials said that this figure had been extracted from research which is due to be published soon. Sir Bruce Keogh, medical director of NHS England, has for some while been trying to encourage hospitals to move towards a more extensive weekend service. He and his officials have been working on an authoritative analysis of higher death rates for patients admitted at weekends. They say it is an issue facing international healthcare systems as well as the NHS and want to develop a consensus on tackling the problem and changing working practices. Consultants, both through their union the BMA and personally on social media, have voiced their anger at what they see as a provocative move by Mr Hunt. A Twitter campaign branded #ImInWorkJeremy was launched by doctors working over the weekend after the Secretary of State's announcement. They are aggrieved at suggestions they only work Monday to Friday. Many consultants already work or are on call on some weekends. What's not clear is how many consultants exercise their right not to work at weekends and how much senior doctor weekend cover there is at different hospitals. Some trusts have already introduced contracts obliging consultants to work on Saturdays and Sundays if required. Others pay a locally negotiated premium for weekend work. The government says these local deals are sometimes too costly and there should be a single nationally negotiated weekend rate. While battle lines have formed, Mr Hunt himself has become the focus of much of the doctors' criticism. An online petition has called for a parliamentary debate and vote of no confidence in the health secretary - it has gathered more than 212,000 signatures, well above other such petitions since the election but not yet at the level of a couple organised during the last parliament such as a demand to stop the badger cull. Any petition with more than 100,000 signatures has to be considered for a debate by a parliamentary committee. The government response is to re-state its commitment to making NHS care at weekends as safe as during the week through the delivery of seven-day services. The debate will simmer on during the sluggish August weeks ahead. It may come to the boil next month as MP's return from their holidays and consultants' leaders deliver their verdict on talks over the government's plans. She arrived in Cyprus from Moscow 12 years ago and now runs a small business in the coastal city of Limassol - home to an estimated 40,000 Russians. "People are panicking, people are in shock," she says, "but we're not yet seeing evidence that Russians want to leave the country." She feels there's been some unfair stereotyping of her fellow countrymen and women. "There is dodgy money everywhere. "It's easy to say that Russian money is dirty, but where's the proof?" It's a view shared by Medea, who owns Fur-a-Porter - a shop selling fur coats, which stands rather incongruously beside the swaying palm trees of one of Limassol's main roads. Most of her clients are Russians - a mixture of locals and tourists. She arrived in Cyprus from Georgia 15 years ago, attracted in part - she says - by the Orthodox religious links shared by Cypriots and Russians. Over the years she's put down roots. "We live here, we work here, we have kids in schools. It's not so easy to just up sticks and go." And it's not just Russians who are feeling like the injured party. Limassol-based Andreas Neocleous is one of the leading lawyers in Cyprus. He's had a long - and close - relationship with Russia. Over a decade ago, he was invited by the Russian parliament to explain why Cyprus' impending EU membership wouldn't be a threat to Russian interests on the island. He may find it harder to put a positive spin on the latest turn of events. So far, he says, he's not heard that any of his Russian clients are planning to go, but he says that these are early days and he's not optimistic. "We'll be badly affected if the Russians go," he tells me in his sixth floor office, "and I fear that it will happen." Stoking his fear, he says, is the fact that his Russian clients are being openly courted by the countries he sarcastically refers to as "our friends in the north". "Just today, I received 200-300 emails from German, Dutch, Swiss companies offering their services to my clients - mainly Russians - on the assumption that they'll be leaving the country," he adds, with what he describes as a sardonic smile, "To me, they are like vultures." But Cyprus-based Russian lawyer, Oleg Lvov, says it would be wrong to expect an imminent outflow of Russian capital because many of those who kept large amounts of money in Cypriot banks have already put it elsewhere - especially those who listened to him. "I advised my clients to start taking their cash out of the country a year-and-a-half ago," he tells me in a seaside restaurant in Larnaca. "That's not to say there's not Russian money in Cyprus, it's just not in banks." Exactly where it is, he wouldn't say, but he insists that his compatriots had learned a lot from bitter recent experience. "Russians have been through three financial crashes of our own," he smiles, "so we've had plenty of practice in how to get our money out of countries." "We have seen no progress to date," said the party's Stormont leader Michelle O'Neill. The parties missed a recent deadline to form a power-sharing executive after a snap assembly election last month. The two biggest parties, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Sinn Féin, blamed each other for the failure of those talks. DUP leader Arlene Foster said Sinn Féin was "not in agreement-finding mode", while Mrs O'Neill said the DUP did not have "the right attitude". Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire has given the parties until 18 April, when the House of Commons returns after the Easter recess, to reach a deal. The political deadlock came after the election on 2 March brought an end to the unionist majority at Stormont and the DUP's lead over Sinn Féin was cut from 10 seats to one. Under Northern Ireland's power-sharing agreement, the executive must be jointly run by unionists and nationalists, with the largest party putting forward a candidate for first minister. Mrs Foster said on Monday that there had been "constructive engagement" during roundtable talks between party leaders. Asked if an agreement was possible, the former first minister replied: "As far as we are concerned, yes, absolutely". But in Stormont's Great Hall on Wednesday, Mrs O'Neill said dealing with the legacy of Northern Ireland's Troubles remained a major stumbling block for Sinn Féin. "The key issue in relation to the British government is the issue of legacy," she told reporters. "Our position is very clear, we will not return to the status quo." "Families shouldn't have to come up to the steps of Stormont to campaign for access to inquests 47 years after, for example the Ballymurphy (killings)," she said. Asked if the talks process was progressing Mrs O'Neill said: "We need to get back to the institutions but let's only do it on the basis of equality, respect and integrity." Mr Brokenshire has said he still believes there is a short window of opportunity to find agreement, with no appetite for another snap election. Last month's poll followed the resignation in January of Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness as deputy first minister, in protest against the DUP's handling of a botched green energy scheme. The party said it would not share power with Mrs Foster as first minister until the conclusion of a public inquiry into the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme. Mr McGuinness, who had been suffering from a rare heart condition, died last month at the age of 66. 30 July 2015 Last updated at 13:35 BST The title is in fact the 12th title in the six-year-old series, not including spin-offs, such as Bad Piggies. Early user reviews have been mixed, in large part because of a new life system that encourages users to make in-app purchases. If players want to avoid the fee, they face having to wait about 30 minutes for their characters to "regenerate". The Finnish games developer reported a 9% fall in revenue last year, and some experts have questioned whether it is too dependent on the Angry Birds brand. Its aeroplane title Retry has proved less popular, while its puzzle game Amazing Alex was pulled from sale in April after lacklustre demand. "The strategy they are following with Angry Birds makes sense - but like any company operating in the mobile space, coming up with another massive hit is an incredible challenge," commented Piers Harding-Rolls from the IHS consultancy. In the video above, Rovio's creative director Patrick Liu explains why the new game was given its sequel status and defends its in-app charges. Produced by Chris Foxx A statement from the club said the young coach's development over the past 24 months had been "an inspiration to everyone around Cappielow". Kris Juszczak landed the community coaching job at the club through an employment scheme. A childrens' holiday camp, which he had been involved with, was cancelled as a mark of respect. Mr Juszczak had posted a local news article on his Facebook page describing how he landed the job with the club through support from Greenock's Ardgowan Hospice. He had told how the hospice's Butterfly Project had helped him deal with his grief following the death of his father in 2014. A support worker had then found him a place on an employment programme. The milestone was announced by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa). They said it was the first month that the entire globe broke 400ppm, reaching levels that haven't been seen for about two million years. Noaa's Pieter Tans said that reaching the mark was "a significant milestone". Scientists announced that CO2 had passed the 400 ppm level for the first time in the Arctic in 2012, and then at Mauna Loa in Hawaii in 2013. "It was only a matter of time that we would average 400 parts per million globally," said Mr Tans, lead scientist at Noaa's Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network. He added that CO2 has risen more than 120 parts per million since pre-industrial times. "Half of that rise has occurred since 1980," he said. Noaa collects its data on global carbon dioxide concentration on air samples taken from 40 sites around the world, including some remote islands. But the influence and appeal of this poet, novelist, songwriter and legendary ladies' man has endured throughout his career. Often prone to depression, his witty, charming and self-deprecating manner - not to mention his black humour - was reflected in his lyrics. And after a period of retreat in the 1990s he remerged with his creativity undimmed. Leonard Norman Cohen was born in Westmount, a well-to-do area of Montreal, on 21 September 1934. His mother had emigrated from Lithuania to Canada and his father Nathan, whose ancestors came from Poland, owned a prosperous clothing store. His father died when Cohen was just nine years old but left his son a trust fund that would enable him to pursue his chosen literary career. The young Cohen attended a privately run Jewish co-educational day school where he learned to play guitar and formed a folk group called the Buckskin Boys. "Guitars impress girls", was the reasoning he gave. In 1951 he enrolled at Montreal's McGill University to study English Literature, and published his first collection of poetry, Let Us Compare Mythologies, in 1956. His poetry was well-received and after a year at Columbia University in New York he turned to writing full-time producing his second collection of poems, entitled The Spice Box of Earth, in 1961 when he was 27. The volume established Cohen's reputation as a serious poet and became his most popular work. The poem, You Have the Lovers, captured his fascination with human relationships. He used the royalties from the book, along with literary grants from the Canadian government, to travel around the world, sampling what it had to offer - including some use of LSD when it was still legal. After a spell in London, where his first purchases were an Olivetti typewriter and a blue raincoat, he moved to the small Greek island of Hydra, publishing his first novel The Favourite Game in 1963. He lived there with Norwegian Marianne Jensen, for whom he later wrote So Long Marianne. Her death in early 2016 inspired Cohen's final album, You Want It Darker, released just three weeks ago. Beautiful Losers, Cohen's second novel, was published in 1966, and was the last of his writing before he quit Hydra to move to the United States. It prompted the Boston Globe to declare: "James Joyce is not dead. He is living in Montreal under the name of Cohen." But the writer had already decided to move to New York and pursue a career as a songwriter and musician. His debut album, Songs of Leonard Cohen, was released in December 1967. With its funereal tone, and Cohen's weary intonation, it was by no means a commercial success but it turned into something of a cult classic for folk buffs, and artists rushed to cover songs like Suzanne. Among them was Judy Collins, who turned the song - based on Cohen's poem Suzanne Takes You Down - into a hit. Over the next seven years he recorded three more albums: Songs From a Room, Songs of Love and Hate and New Skin for the Old Ceremony, which featured Chelsea Hotel - an account of Cohen's sexual encounter with singer Janis Joplin. Despite a paralysing fear of playing live, he toured these albums extensively around the world. Those concerts included a remarkable appearance at a highly-charged Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. The crowd was volatile and Cohen was following an electrifying performance by Jimi Hendrix, but the quiet folk singer won them over by telling a hushed anecdote about childhood trips to the circus. "There was one thing at the circus that happened that I always used to wait for," he told the audience of 600,000. "I don't want to impose on you, this isn't like a sing-along… but there was one moment when a man would stand up and say, 'Would everybody light a match so we can locate one another?' "Could I ask you, each person, to light a match, so that I could see where you all are? Could each of you light a match, so that you'll sparkle like fireflies, each at your different heights? I would love to see those matches flare." The intimate anecdote, and Cohen's subsequent performance are remembered as one of the defining moments of the whole festival. In 1973, Cohen went to Israel to volunteer for active service in the Yom Kippur war. Instead he was assigned to entertain troops in a tank division where he once found himself coming under fire in the Sinai desert. The recording of his fifth album, Death of a Ladies' Man, descended into near farce. Cohen clashed with the unstable producer, Phil Spector, whose "wall of sound" technique was at odds with Cohen's quiet acoustic based music. The resulting album was not a success, and he later disowned it. Cohen's music fell out of favour in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but interest revived in 1985 with the release of the album Various Positions. This featured the track Hallelujah, which had taken the musician five years to write. A mournful ballad, it touches on themes of love, sex, religion, longing and regret. Cohen said it explained "that many kinds of hallelujahs do exist, and all the perfect and broken hallelujahs have equal value". Hated by his record company, it later became the most-covered Cohen song of all time. Jeff Buckley's haunting, melodic version in 1994 became the standard interpretation - but it only received mainstream recognition when Rufus Wainwright sang it for the animated film Shrek in 2001. Various Positions was modestly successful, but the singer seemed confined to a small, committed audience until his backing singer Jennifer Warnes released Famous Blue Raincoat, an album of material authored by Cohen, in 1987. It sold extremely well and introduced Cohen to a new generation of listeners. When the pair collaborated on 1988's eminently accessible album I'm Your Man, the result was his biggest album in a decade. The record paired cynical commentaries such as First We take Manhattan, with beautiful songs of love like the title track and Take This Waltz. In 1991 a tribute album, I'm Your Fan, a collection of his songs covered by artistes such as REM, The Pixies and John Cale, again pushed Leonard Cohen back into the limelight. However, by this time, Cohen had begun spending time at a Buddhist retreat in California and eventually moved there to become a Buddhist monk in 1996. He finally emerged in 1999 with a wealth of new material, some of which featured on his 2001 album, aptly titled Ten New Songs. Co-written with the producer and vocalist, Sharon Robinson, who also played all the instruments, it saw Cohen in introspective and relaxed mood, but perhaps contemplating mortality with lyrics such as, "the night is getting colder". In 2006 Cohen, at the age of 73, was obliged to return to touring when he claimed that his manager (and former lover) Kelley Lynch had embezzled more than $5m from his account. Despite winning a court case against her, and being awarded huge damages, she failed to pay back any of the money. Lynch would later be jailed after violating a court order to keep away from Cohen. Two years later, he embarked on a marathon concert tour in 2008 which ran for 18 months and included a performance on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury - which was seen by many as the highlight of the festival. 2012 saw the release of Old Ideas, which became his highest charting album of all time. Many critics saw the songs on the album as an intimation of his own mortality. However, despite his advancing years, Cohen set off on a world tour to promote the album. When the Grand Tour ended in December 2013, Cohen largely vanished from the public eye - but he continued to write. Just last month, he released You Want It Darker, produced by his son Adam. Severe back issues made it difficult for Cohen to leave his home, so Adam placed a microphone on his dining room table and recorded him on a laptop. Like David Bowie's Blackstar, the record felt like a swansong. "I'm leaving the table / I'm out of the game," he lamented on Leaving The Table. The album received positive reviews, but a New Yorker interview tied to the release revealed Cohen making peace with mortality. "I am ready to die," he said. "I hope it's not too uncomfortable. That's about it for me." Cohen was, arguably, one of the most enigmatic poets and songwriters of his generation. While many of the themes in his work hinted at depression, he always felt that he was just a keen observer of the realities of life. "Seriousness, rather than depression is, I think, the characteristic of my work," he once told an interviewer. "I like a good laugh, but I think there's enjoyment that comes through seriousness. We all know when we close the door and come into your room and you're left with your heart and your emotions, it isn't all that funny."

Daniel Rodriguez, also known as Grymey D, 28, contacted several girls, aged 14 and 15, online and persuaded them to go to his house in Hackney. Videos found by police showed him having sex with girls in the house he shared with his parents and sister. He admitted 15 offences and was sentenced to 16 years by a judge at Wood Green Crown Court. The charges related to seven different victims and included sexual activity with a child, making indecent photographs and sexual assault. Scotland Yard found videos of the rapper having sex with four children. In one, Rodriguez had filmed himself having sex with a 14-year-old girl who had arrived at his house wearing her school uniform. He was caught when police discovered messages on a 14-year-old's phone which suggested she was in a sexual relationship with him. The girl told officers he had first contacted her when she was 13 and she had visited his house several times once she turned 14. On one occasion the girl took a friend, who was also 14, and Rodriguez engaged in sexual activity with both of them, she told detectives. Charges: Rodriguez groomed his victims using Facebook, Instagram and Blackberry Messenger by complimenting them about how they looked and telling them he loved them. Edward Lucas, prosecuting, said on Thursday: "This defendant is predatory. He preyed on young, vulnerable girls around the ages of 13 to 15. He used his experience, charm and his guile and ultimately his force - his force of personality - to indulge in his own perverted activities." His relatives were unaware of what he was doing. The defence had suggested Rodriguez "did not appreciate the gravity of what he was doing" and was "absolutely stunned" when he learnt of the seriousness of the offences. But Judge Joanna Greenberg QC said "he must be blind and living as a hermit" to have missed news of similar cases involving high-profile celebrities. She said the rapper had deliberately targeted young girls in order to carry out "deviant sexual fantasies". "Your desire for them was because they were young girls," the judge said. The Care Quality Commission said there were 3,500 beds in locked facilities across the country, but it believes more people could and should get care in residential settings close to home. The report said safety on mental health wards was another major concern. NHS England said progress was being made with higher funding for care. Claire Murdoch, head of mental health for NHS England, added that while there were reasons for optimism, improvements - in line with the priorities set out by the NHS five-year plan - were needed. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) looked at all specialist mental health services across England - inspecting NHS care and NHS services provided by the independent sector. It said almost all services were rated as good or outstanding for having caring and compassionate staff and that there were many examples of excellent care. But the report found several areas of concern. CQC chiefs said in particular that locked rehabilitation wards (of which two thirds are managed by independent providers) did not provide the right model of care for the 21st Century. They said some patients spent too long on these wards - with an average length of stay of 341 days. And this leaves patients at risk of being institutionalised, with the end goal of being rehabilitated back into the community being missed, the report warns. Dr Paul Lelliott, lead for mental health at the CQC, said: "We weren't expecting to find this many [locked rehabilitation beds]. "We can't say exactly how many of the people on these wards don't need to be in locked facilities, but we do suspect that quite a high proportion of people in these services could, and should be, moved back to be much closer to home and be cared for in residential settings that provide much more independence, and also be supported by community services rather than being in hospital." Inspectors also said about a third of services needed improvement when it comes to safety. And one in 20 were deemed inadequate for safety, meaning real and sometimes immediate concerns for patient safety, according to CQC chiefs. Inspectors pointed to "old and unsuitable buildings" - for example buildings with blind spots in corridors where patients at risk of self harm could not be observed. Adding to safety concerns were nurse shortages - with a 12% drop in mental health nursing staff between January 2010 and 2017. Commenting on the report, Brian Dow, from the charity Rethink Mental Illness, said there was a huge level of commitment from people in the sector to deliver a high level of care but that there was an "awful long way to go". He added: "There is fairly large number of services that the CQC says need improvement and that raises big questions about what is happening in this system. "Is there enough money in there? Do we have the right kind of people able to deliver the care? Are people involved in their own care and are people supported and trained to deliver the care?" Meanwhile, Ms Murdoch told the BBC she thought the report was a "really fair" assessment of the state of the nation's mental health services. She added: "It sets out the fact that most providers of mental health care are now either moving towards the good category or are good and moving towards outstanding - so it is showing improvement. But quite rightly it also looks at what needs to improve next." A spike in raids in recent weeks, largely aimed at women and children, has drawn the ire of rights groups. Mrs Clinton said the raids "have sown fear and division in immigrant communities across the country". Immigration has been one of the leading issues in the 2016 race. Mrs Clinton, who is top of the Democratic pack in the race, said she would ensure government lawyers were provided for unaccompanied minors and would increase funding for immigration courts. The raids, which spiked over the holiday season, have angered migrants' rights activists as well as lawmakers in Mr Obama's Democratic party. Scores of House Democrats are demanding they stop. They come as fears grow that a spike in immigration from Central America may be foreshadowing a repeat of the 2014 crisis that saw tens of thousands of migrants - especially unaccompanied children - cross the border. The White House has defended the raids, with spokesman Josh Earnest saying the president was aware of the outrage but that "the enforcement strategy and priorities that the administration has articulated are not going to change". The Obama administration has unilaterally enacted immigration reform to protect undocumented immigrants who have been in the country a long time, but has said deportations would continue. In February, Mr Obama said that the forced removals would be "focusing on potential felons". "I think the administration sees is as important to complete some of these removal orders to discourage future irregular immigration from Central America," Marc Rosenblum of the Migration Policy Institute told the BBC. "It's difficult to grant relief to deserving cases if you're not also going to deport cases found not to be deserving." The raids have riled lawmakers and activists, who say they are disruptive and ill-timed, and were breaking families apart as well as spreading fear across immigrant communities. Rep Nydia Vlazquez, a member of the Hispanic caucus, said that "immigrants and their families are terrorised". "These are some of the most vulnerable members of society and we are treating them like criminals." The anger prompted White House officials to meet with politicians on Thursday in an attempt to dampen the anger. That failed to stop 135 Democrats from co-signing a letter asking that the raids stop immediately. "We strongly condemn the Department of Homeland Security's recent enforcement operation targeting refugee mothers and children from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala," the letter reads. Leading Republican candidate Donald Trump prompted a weeks-long outrage over the summer when he described Mexican immigrants as "rapists" and "criminals" and called for a wall to be built on the southern border. Meanwhile, one of his rivals, Marco Rubio, is framing the issue as one of national security, saying that radical jihadist groups could exploit the immigration system. Mr Rubio's support for immigration reforms in the past could be a liability for the candidate during primary elections, as he attempts to climb to the top of the crowded and mainly conservative Republican pack. Democrats have taken a different approach to the issue, urging a humanitarian response. Senator Bernie Sanders, currently in second place, wrote a letter to President Obama earlier this month saying: "I urge you to immediately cease these raids and not deport families back to countries where a death sentence awaits." Martin O'Malley, who is in a distant third place, has attacked his two rivals saying that their support for immigrants was recent and politically expedient. Sarfraz Khan, 35, was stabbed to death and three men were seriously hurt when a row over a mop and bucket at the family ice cream business escalated. Mohammed Nasar, 32, and Tariq Mahmood, 26, of Cecil Avenue, Great Horton, were found guilty at Bradford Crown Court. Amjid Ali, 39, and Amir Ali, 19, also of Cecil Avenue, were cleared of murder but found guilty of manslaughter. Nasar was also convicted on three charges of causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent, and Mahmood was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. Ali and Ali were convicted of unlawful wounding. A fifth defendant, 33-year-old Sajid Hussain, also of Cecil Avenue, was found not guilty of charges of murder, manslaughter, inflicting GBH with intent and unlawful wounding. During the trial, the court heard there had been bad blood between two sides of the extended family and the row relating to Rossi's Ices was "the straw that broke the camel's back". A bloodied Omran was filmed after what activists said was an air strike on a rebel enclave that killed his brother. On Sunday, he was photographed at his new home in the city, which is now under full government control. In interviews with pro-government journalists, Omran's father complained that he had been used as "propaganda". Mohammed Daqneesh told a reporter from Iran's Al-Alam TV that the Syrian opposition and international media had wanted to use Omran to attack President Bashar al-Assad. "They wanted to trade in his blood and published his photos," he added. Mr Daqneesh said he had been sitting with his then five-year-old son when their home was hit on 17 August and that he had not heard a plane overhead. He added that Omran had suffered only minor injuries and that the blood on his son's face had dripped on to him from one of his own wounds. As he searched for his three other children among the rubble, "gunmen" took Omran to an ambulance in the street outside and started filming him, Mr Daqneesh said. They then took him to hospital despite there being no need, he added. Video footage of Omran being carried from a damaged building and being placed on a seat in the back of an ambulance by an unarmed man who appeared to be a rescue worker was filmed by the pro-opposition Aleppo Media Centre (AMC), after what it said was a series of overnight Russian air strikes on the Qaterji district. A doctor at the hospital where Omran was taken told the BBC at the time that he had a head wound that required stitches and was suffering from shock. When troops pushed into eastern Aleppo at the end of last year, Mr Daqneesh and his family reportedly chose to cross into government-controlled territory along with thousands of other civilians, rather than be evacuated to rebel-held Idlib province. Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) figures obtained by Montreal newspaper La Presse suggest 31% more US citizens were turned away last year than 2015. In 2016, 30,233 Americans were sent back at the boundary compared to 23,052 the year before. The report comes amid concerns in Canada about travel to the US. La Presse also reports that in 2014, just 7,509 US citizens were refused entry to Canada. An immigration lawyer told the paper that the spike in people turned away was probably to due in part to the increased sharing of data and information, including criminal records, between Canada and the US. The CBSA said in a statement that the numbers fluctuate from year-to-year and they "will not speculate as to reasons for the increase". Despite concerns in Canada about whether it is becoming more difficult to cross into the US, figures provided by US Customs and Border Protection indicate the number of people being denied entry at that boundary is in line with previous years. In fiscal year 2014, 28,875 people were turned away at the Canada-US frontier. In 2015 it was 27,311. In 2016, it was 28,584. A lot of border anxiety in Canada is thought to be linked to the Trump administration's proposed travel ban, which has been suspended indefinitely pending court challenges. Organisations such as the Girl Guides of Canada have put trips to the United States on hold until further notice because they fear problems at the border. Canada's largest school board also recently cancelled new school trips to the US. The Toronto District School Board announced the decision this month citing "uncertainty" with regards to who may be affected by US President Donald's Trump's latest travel restrictions. A few other schools across Canada have also decided to temporarily halt travel to the US. However, four decades previous the country had a rider who was arguably less celebrated, but nevertheless made history of his own. Tommy Simpson was the first British cyclist to wear the famous yellow jersey and also sported the illustrious rainbow bands as winner of the Road World Championships. Yet he will forever be remembered as the man who died on the gruelling ascent of Mont Ventoux. Forty-nine years on, yellow bicycles will be mounted onto roofs, and bunting and lamp post banners will be hung in his honour as the Tour de Yorkshire rolls through Simpson's adopted hometown of Harworth, Nottinghamshire. "It was a long time ago and cycling didn't have the profile it's got in Britain now, but he did," said Simpson's nephew Chris Sidwells, who works as a cycling journalist. "Tom won some of the big races which Britain hasn't won since - some of his feats are still yet to be replicated." Simpson was just 29 when he collapsed through exhaustion climbing up the notorious mountain on the edge of the Alps, during the 13th stage of the Tour de France in 1967. A post mortem examination showed traces of amphetamines in his blood, which was legal at the time but prompted the International Cycling Union to ban the use of any performance enhancing drugs in the sport. Although Simpson's career was curtailed in its prime, he won several of the sport's best-known stage races, including Paris-Nice and the Tour of Flanders, as well as a prestigious UK award two years before dying. "To be Sports Personality of the Year ahead of racing drivers like Jim Clark and footballers like Bobby Moore, you had to have done something," added Sidwells, who is covering stage two of the Tour de Yorkshire for BBC Radio Sheffield. "What he did was special - completely out of the blue." Although born in County Durham, Simpson became Harworth's adopted son after growing up in the town and joining the local cycling club, which still runs with around 30 members. June Evans is chairman of Harworth and Bircotes Town Council, which is organising the community celebrations this weekend, and remembers him well. "I knew him vaguely simply because he used to leave his bicycle at my parents' house," she said. "He was very polite, and always knocked on the door - 'is it alright if I can leave my bike?' Then off he would go, running to catch the bus. "It was a major tragedy and I remember standing and watching his funeral in the town with the hundreds and hundreds of people who attended." Simpson might have learned his trade in north Nottinghamshire, but to make a name for himself he had to move abroad. "When he was in Paris the French people regarded him as a typical English gentlemen, and so he used to go around with his bowler hat, rolled up umbrella and a nice pinstripe suit," added Evans. Wiggins and world champion Lizzie Armitstead will be among the riders to travel past the Tommy Simpson memorial stone on Saturday, with male and female cyclists riding the same route for the first time. The museum, which exists in his memory, will be open to the public, displaying old jerseys, gloves and caps - but what would he have made of the tribute? "He was a celebrity amongst his own circle and within his own sport," said Evans. "I think he'd have a big grin on his face, and that would be it." Sidwells will be watching on as fans and locals alike pay their respects to his late uncle during a bike race which was fittingly created off the back of recent British success in the sport. "It's fantastic - it's a tribute from the Tour de Yorkshire because it could've gone from Tickhill straight into Bawtry and off to the finish in Doncaster," he added. "But they're going to do a right turn just to come through north Nottinghamshire, to go through Harworth." Jonathan Paul Koppenhaver was found guilty in March of attacking Christy Mack and her friend Corey Thomas after accusing them of having an affair. Ms Mack suffered a fractured eye socket and nose, broken ribs and lost teeth. In a statement to the court Koppenhaver expressed remorse, attributing the attack to anxiety and depression. He compared himself to former NFL star Aaron Hernandez, who killed himself in prison earlier this year while serving a life sentence for murder. "Not a day goes by that I don't seriously regret all those things that I did. I was a very, very lost, very empty person," Koppenhaver told the Las Vegas court. "And to top it off, something's not right with my head. Plain and simple." His comments are in contrast to comments made on Twitter in March, when he said he was unfazed at the possibility of receiving "some type of life sentence". Adult actress details alleged assault on Twitter Ms Mack met Koppenhaver in 2013 when she was a well-known porn actress. Koppenhaver had also worked occasionally in the industry. But their relationship soon deteriorated, with Ms Mack accusing the wrestler of becoming abusive. Ms Mack - who also suffered liver and leg injuries in the assault - told the court that she will be in fear for her life if Koppenhaver is allowed to leave prison. "I do know when he gets out, he will kill me," she said. Koppenhaver, 35, will only be considered for parole after 36 years in jail. The wrestler won 14 of his 19 mixed martial arts fights. He was convicted on 29 counts including kidnap and attempted rape. The jury was unable to agree on two counts of attempted murder. Andris Logins, 57, has been charged with 17 sexual offences alleged to have happened at Beechwood Community Home in Nottingham in the 1980s. Nottingham Crown Court heard he targeted vulnerable children, who had no-one to complain to. Mr Logins, of Stiles Road, in Arnold, Nottinghamshire, denies the charges. Mr Logins, who is no longer a social worker, was aged 22 to 27 when he is alleged to have carried out the rapes and sexual assaults at the children's care home in Mapperley, which has since been demolished. Youngsters were beaten, kicked and tormented and staff, as well as children, were terrified of a man who used to be in charge of the home, the jury was told. Prosecutor Mary Prior QC said Mr Logins took advantage of that regime and targeted vulnerable children, who were too afraid to complain because it was so "brutal". Again and again, she accused him of committing serious child sex offences, but he replied that every allegation was not true. Mr Logins said records showed he was not on duty on the dates of some of the alleged offences. He accepted there could have been abuse at the home, but was adamant it was not carried out by him. Mr Logins said four alleged victims "had got the wrong man" and suggested the descriptions given could have fitted other men who worked at the home. Ms Prior dismissed this and said two accusers used nicknames such as "Yogi Bear" and "the Honey Monster" to describe him. Mr Logins accepted those names referred to him but insisted he never raped anybody and was not guilty of cruelty or indecent assaults. The trial continues. Payments of wages, tax credits and disability living allowance were among those that failed to be credited to accounts. RBS initially said some payments were "missing", but it had now identified and fixed the underlying problem. Delayed payments would be processed "no later than Saturday", it said. Such a timescale was declared "unacceptable" by the chairman of an influential committee of MPs. In 2012, the RBS group was hit by a major IT meltdown that led to a large fine. Customers from RBS, NatWest, Coutts and Ulster Bank - all part of the same banking group - have been affected by the latest issue, which was caused by a segment of information not being inputted into the system. Some 600,000 transactions were delayed and the banking group said it was now trying to update accounts as a "priority". "We are aware of an issue which has resulted in a delay to payments and direct debits being applied to some customer accounts," said a spokesman for RBS. "We have fixed the underlying issue, we apologise for the inconvenience caused and we are working flat out to get these payments updated for our customers no later than Saturday. "To any customers concerned about the implications of this issue, we advise them to come into a branch or get in touch with our call centres, where our staff will be ready to help. We will ensure no customers are left out of pocket as a result of this issue." Some customers reported waiting up to an hour for an answer from the bank's call centre, on calls which could be charged at a geographic rate. The bank said it was experiencing a "high volume of calls". HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), which oversees some benefits payments, said that some tax credits and child benefit payments had not gone through, and that those affected should contact their bank. Publican Craig Peacock, who runs The Barleycorn Inn in Wiltshire, conducts his business banking through NatWest. "I have got bills to pay and this needs to be sorted, quickly," he said. "I run a small pub and bed and breakfast and have to pay every Wednesday for my beer delivery to come, so I might be beerless this weekend at this rate! "I found out about the problem when I checked the account this morning. The payments overnight hadn't gone through. Then I read the news. "I waited over an hour on the phone to NatWest. I gave up, with the volume of calls they are getting and the phone bill rising." He said Saturday - by which time all payments should be processed - was "ages away". Penny Lanning, from Peterborough, has two children and is living with a disability. "I am currently very poorly in hospital and was rather panicky when I discovered via mobile banking that my tax credits had not gone in. It is so stressful," she told the BBC. "My husband has been phoning me, panicking about finance." Another customer told the BBC: "Missing a tax credit payment and then a 30-minute wait on the NatWest helpline with no answer." The problem only affected a relatively small proportion of payments, the bank said. However, it is an embarrassment for the group which was fined £56m by regulators after a software upgrade in June 2012 left millions of customers unable to access accounts. On that occasion, the IT failure affected more than 6.5 million customers in the UK over several weeks. The banking group said it had invested hundreds of millions of pounds to improve its computer systems since then. Andrew Tyrie, who chairs the Commons Treasury committee, commenting on the latest IT failure, said: "Many thousands of individuals and businesses have once again been badly hit. Customers that have suffered loss should be reimbursed in full by RBS. It is also important that credit scores remain unaffected. "RBS is suggesting that the delayed payments will be processed no later than Saturday. This looks unacceptable. "Restoration of payments should be a top priority. It is crucial for those in the greatest financial need and also those who find it difficult to go to a branch." Ministers have raised the prospect of air strikes on so-called Islamic State extremists in Syria, but say this would only happen with the Commons' approval. MPs rejected air strikes in Syria in 2013, but since backed action in Iraq. Mr Burnham said he "wouldn't rule it out" but was "struggling" with whether action in Syria would be legal. In an interview with the Huffington Post, he said: "The tests are quite big. There's a very large one about legality first, because it's not like the 2013 situation. "This isn't an invitation by a democratic government to come in, is it? I'm struggling with that myself." Last month Defence Secretary Michael Fallon told MPs a "full spectrum response" was needed to deal with the self-styled Islamic State (IS) at its source. "We will not bring a motion to this house on which there is not some consensus," he said. "Our position therefore remains that we would return to this house before conducting air strikes in Syria." Mr Burnham said the legal question was "quite a big one" given the controversial invasion of Iraq under Tony Blair's Labour government. The UK is the second largest contributor to the US-led air campaign against IS. Opposition from Labour, led by Ed Miliband, was crucial in defeating the government in 2013 by 285 votes to 272 over Syria. That debate focused on the regime of President Assad, rather than IS. Mr Burnham is up against Liz Kendall, Yvette Cooper and Jeremy Corbyn in the leadership contest. During last month's BBC Sunday Politics hustings, Ms Cooper said there would need to be clear military and moral objectives to any intervention, and Ms Kendall said any action would have to be part of a "wider political strategy in the region". Mr Corbyn says he would vote against any military action in Syria. Mr Burnham said the party would "do the responsible thing" if he was in charge. "The message I would just send back to Cameron at this stage is: treat us with respect because it's not about the Labour party. "The Opposition is the country in this, we've got to test what they are saying on behalf of the country. "And if they try and bounce the Opposition into this they are not treating the country with respect." The Kenyan trade unionist turned politician Tom Mboya, who studied at Ruskin College, Oxford, wanted members of his country's government to be adequately prepared for a post-colonial Kenya. He recognised quite early on that there were not enough professional Africans to run an efficient civil service. To make up the shortfall, he set up a scholarship fund that would take young bright Africans to the US and Canada. The idea was for them to acquire the necessary skills and come back to help build a new country when the white civil servants packed up and returned to Europe. One of those students was one Barack Obama from Kogelo, near the port city of Kisumu on the shores of Lake Victoria. Barack Obama Senior was the first African student to study at the University of Hawaii. There he fell in love and married a young American woman, Ann Dunham. They had a son named after his father, Barack Hussein Obama II. I travelled to Mr Obama's home in Kogelo where I met his step-grandmother Sarah Obama and aunt Marsat Onyango Obama to find out what the scholarship meant for the family at the time. We stood in the family's small graveyard, next to the grave of Barack Obama Senior. Ms Onyango told me that even though she had not yet been born when Mr Obama left, she knew that the family had been very proud of him. "They said he carried their hopes and dreams." Tom Mboya was assassinated in central Nairobi 1969 at the age of 38. He was minister of economic development and planning but the motive for his killing remains a mystery. He had achieved a lot for his young age - his intellectual prowess and eloquence meant that he could articulate his vision clearly to others. As a sign of his global significance he had appeared on the cover of Time magazine, the first Kenyan to have done so. One of his daughters, Susan Mboya, who holds a PhD in chemistry, is an executive at Coca-Cola Africa based in Nairobi. She also runs a scholarship programme, known as Zawadi, the Kiswahili word for gift, helping mainly young African women to study abroad. In light of the excitement engulfing Kenya ahead of President Obama's visit this weekend, I asked what she thought of her father's initiative. She replied in a quiet, confident voice: "My father could not have known that by helping one person to go to school, he was going to change the lives of so many people. "Barack Obama has achieved a lot personally and it's great that he is the president of the United States. "But I think the biggest benefit that Barack Obama has brought is how he has inspired young people all over the world… and to me that is the huge thing that has come out of the scholarships." I asked her why she had followed in her father's footsteps by setting up her own programme. "I want to finish what my father started but I want to finish it in a way that brings balance to the leadership in this country." The airlift scholarship also took the Kenyan newspaper columnist Philip Ochieng to America. He studied a Bachelor of Arts in Literature at Chicago's Roosevelt University. The 76-year-old knew Mr Obama Senior very well and recalls that he was clever. He told me in Nairobi that they used to drink whisky together. As he put it: "America watered my thirst for knowledge." What if The scholarship programme educated nearly 800 students from Kenya and elsewhere in East Africa. Other scholars included the late Wangari Mathaai, who became the first African woman to become a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and the late geneticist Reuben Olembo, who became a director at the United Nations environment agency, Unep. The partner, on the other side of the Atlantic, was an American entrepreneur William X Scheinman, who was a good friend of Tom Mboya's, and they received President John F Kennedy's support. Musician and activist Harry Belafonte and actor Sidney Poitier raised funds for the scholarship fund, amongst many others. Mr Belafonte later wrote about Mr Obama Senior's scholarship: "Imagine: perhaps, if not for support from the African American Students' Foundation, he might not have come to America," he said. "Then who would be in the White House today?" Mr Obama Senior, who also graduated from Harvard, returned to Kenya in 1968 and eventually worked for the government as an economist. He died in a car crash in 1982. But not before he had visited his son in Hawaii. He gave his son his first basketball as a gift and took him to his first jazz concert, where the maestro pianist and composer Dave Brubeck was performing. And as I left her office in Nairobi, which boasts pictures of when she met President Obama, Ms Mboya reminded me "it doesn't take much to change a life." But it is also coming under increased scrutiny over its lack of editorial balance and accusations that it is deliberately using disinformation to counter and divide the West. In a spanking new press centre in Moscow on 10 November, controversial TV news anchor Dmitry Kiselev, who is also head of the Rossiya Segodnya (Russia Today) news agency, unveiled Sputnik - the Kremlin's latest foray into the international news arena. With its planned network of media hubs in 30 cities, Sputnik is the new brand for the radio station Voice of Russia and the foreign-language operations of the RIA Novosti news service, which were taken over by Rossiya Segodnya when it was launched last December. Kiselev said the new project was aimed at a global audience "tired of aggressive propaganda promoting a unipolar world and who want a different perspective". But with his own relentless denunciation of the West and demonisation of Ukrainians as fascists on state TV, there can hardly be a more practised purveyor of "aggressive propaganda" than Kiselev himself. The Sputnik launch came less than a fortnight after the Kremlin's international TV channel RT (formerly known as Russia Today) unveiled a dedicated news service for viewers in the UK. Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan (who holds the same position at Rossiya Segodnya) said that RT UK would seek to "promote debate and new ways of thinking about British issues". RT's funding is set to rise in 2015 to over $330m (£210m; €264m). It is said to be planning to add French and German operations to its existing services in English, Spanish and Arabic. But RT UK's debut was greeted with a barrage of criticism in the British press. Writing in the Observer, Nick Cohen accused the channel of spreading conspiracy theories and being a "prostitution of journalism". Meanwhile, in The Times, Oliver Kamm called on broadcast regulator Ofcom to act against this "den of deceivers". Oliver Kamm did not have long to wait. On 10 November, Ofcom found RT guilty of violating the broadcasting code's "due impartiality" rules in its coverage of the Ukraine crisis in early March. It rejected RT's contention that as a station that challenges the "established" view in the UK it was somehow exempt from the normal broadcast requirements. In view of past violations, it put the channel on notice that future breaches may result in a "statutory sanction", which could include fines, or even the suspension or revocation of RT's broadcast licence. For President Putin, RT is spearheading Russia's bid to challenge the "Anglo-Saxon monopoly" on global news. But, according to a recent report by US journalist Michael Weiss and UK-based writer and TV producer Peter Pomerantsev, it is part of a strategy of disinformation aimed at countering and dividing the West. Entitled "The menace of unreality: How the Kremlin weaponises information, culture and money", the report was produced under the aegis of the US-based Institute of Modern Russia (IMR), which is part-funded by members of the family of former oil tycoon and Putin opponent Mikhail Khodorkovsky.. Adapting techniques inherited from the old KGB, say the authors, RT makes extensive use of conspiracy theories that serve to undermine a "reality-based discourse". This, they argue, then creates the conditions in which the Kremlin can advance its own disinformation to "confuse situations at critical junctures". They give as examples a spurious RT report about Jews fleeing Ukraine over anti-Semitism, equally bogus insinuations that a US think tank was advising Ukrainian President Poroshenko to carry out ethnic cleansing, and the spreading of conspiracy theories concerning the downing of Malaysian airliner MH17 over east Ukraine in July. According to Weiss and Pomerantsev, this kind of media manipulation amounts to a "weaponisation of information", a phrase also used in relation to Russia by Mark Galeotti, a professor of global affairs at New York University. But Ms Simonyan insists that RT is not very different from other major news broadcasters. Responding to the Ofcom ruling, she said the BBC was also guilty of "bias" in its reporting of Ukraine, as well as its coverage of other issues. In a statement posted on RT's website, she said other broadcasters would also have to change the way they operate, "if double standards are to be avoided". Weiss and Pomerantsev, meanwhile, came under fire in an anonymous article on the pro-Kremlin English-language website Russia Insider. Part political critique, part personalised attack, the article accuses them of being members of a "Russophobic hack pack" that also includes Edward Lucas of The Economist and US journalist Anne Applebaum. Ordinary Russians appear to hold similar views. A poll published on 12 November by the independent Levada Centre indicated that 88% of the population believe the USA and other Western countries are waging an information war against Russia. Just 4% dissented from this view. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world. You can follow BBC Monitoring on Twitter and Facebook. Six councillors were suspended after failing to back plans to merge with the Vale of Glamorgan council in November. Keith Edwards' suspension was increased to six months, Gareth Phillips' to five months while Ross Thomas and Gareth Wyn Davies had theirs upped to four months. A Welsh Labour spokesman said this was "an internal disciplinary matter". Edith Hughes' three-month suspension was upheld at the appeal hearing in Cardiff on Monday while Martin Jones, who received a one-month suspension, did not appeal as the time had been served.

The 33-year-old, a former Wales Under-21 international, moves to the region after making more than 150 appearances for Sale Sharks. "I have strong links with the Dragons through many of the players and coaches, so I am looking forward to my return home," said Macleod. "It's great to be able to come back to Wales for both personal and professional reasons." Macleod adds experience to a young Dragons squad. "The coaches are assembling a young and exciting squad and I am looking forward to joining the region," he said. "I feel that part of my role next season will be to mentor the youngsters as well as challenging for a spot on the team sheet." Dragons director of rugby Lyn Jones said: "We have made a strong and conscious decision to back our youngsters and their development, and signing someone of Nick's calibre recognises this as he will act as a catalyst for these players. "Nick will be mentoring the likes of Dorian Jones, Angus O'Brien and Arwel Robson whilst also playing his part in the squad moving forward next season. "His vast experience and maturity within the Aviva Premiership will be a valuable addition to our young squad." On Wednesday night, two opposing beams of protons were steered into each other at the four collision points spaced around the LHC's tunnel. The energy of the collisions was 13 trillion electronvolts - dwarfing the eight trillion reached during the LHC's first run, which ended in early 2013. "Physics collisions" commence in June. At that point, the beams will contain many more "bunches" of protons: up to 2,800 instead of the one or two currently circulating. And the various experiments will be in full swing, with every possible detector working to try to sniff out all the exotic, unprecedented particles of debris that fly out of proton collisions at these new energies. For now, however, the collisions are part of the gradual testing process designed to ensure nothing is missed and nothing goes awry when the LHC goes into that full "collision factory" mode. "We begin by bringing the beams into collision at 13 TeV (teraelectronvolts), and adjusting their orbits to collide them head-on," said Ronaldus Suykerbuyk from the operations team at Cern - the organisation based near Geneva in Switzerland that runs the LHC. The huge collider has been through a planned two-year refit, after the conclusion of its first run - which in 2012 produced the first solid evidence for the famous Higgs boson. So physicists are excited to see the machine winding back up again, although it is an overwhelmingly incremental process. In early April, after a slight delay, twin proton beams circulated the LHC's 27km ring, 30 storeys below the Swiss-French border, for the first time in two years. This was at a much lower, preliminary energy; five days later the energy reached 6.5 TeV per beam for the first time. The first collisions followed in early May - again, at a lower, safer energy to begin with. Thursday's collisions are in new territory. Prof David Newbold, from the University of Bristol, works on the CMS experiment. He said the new energies present new technical challenges. "When you accelerate the beams, they actually get quite a lot smaller - so the act of actually getting them to collide inside the detectors is really quite an important technical step," Prof Newbold told BBC News. "13 TeV is a new regime - nobody's been here before." Now that collisions are under way, Prof Newbold explained, the engineers in charge of the beams can start to pump in more and more protons. "The special thing about the LHC is not just the energy we can collide the beams at, it's also the number of collisions per second, which is also higher than any other accelerator in history. "The reason for that is - like the Higgs boson last time - what we're principally looking for is incredibly rare decay particles. And the more collisions you have per second, the more chance you have of finding something that's statistically significant." So the build-up that will now unfold, from one or two bunches of protons to thousands, will make even more history. But these early tests are critical to make sure that the 6.5 TeV beams can be steered onto collision course without damaging any of the detectors, or the massive magnets that steer the protons and accelerate them to very near the speed of light. Dan Tovey, a physics professor at the University of Sheffield who works on the LHC's Atlas experiment, said the teams were having to "re-learn" how to run their detectors. "We know how everything worked back in 2012, but a lot has changed since then, both with the machine and with the experiments as well," Prof Tovey told the BBC. "At this stage it's not telling us anything about new physics. Mainly it's helping us learn about the performance of our experiments." Come June, however, the data emerging from the LHC will shift the scientific horizon. Researchers hope to tackle big, unanswered questions and push our knowledge beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. "It's tremendously exciting," Prof Tovey said. "Individually, we all have the things that we're particularly interested in; there's a variety of new physics models that could show up. But to be honest, we can't say for certain what - if anything - will show up. "And the best thing that could possibly happen is that we find something that nobody has predicted at all. Something completely new and unexpected, which would set off a fresh programme of research for years to come." Follow Jonathan on Twitter Media playback is not supported on this device The defender, 35, has been struggling with a hip injury this year and last played on 30 January. Mackay was the first Saints captain to lift the Scottish Cup, in 2014, and manager Tommy Wright said the player was close to "irreplaceable". "I'm happy that I've given myself every chance to get back playing but it's not to be," MacKay told the St Johnstone website. "I've been aware of this issue for the past couple of years and, although the first operation brought about a level of improvement that enabled me to get back playing and feeling fine, there was a gradual deterioration again over a period of time to the extent that I was unable to train. "A second operation followed which again helped but not to the extent that I feel that I can get back to the fitness levels needed for full-time football. "The decision hasn't been an easy one but I've had to take into consideration that I don't want to do irreversible damage that affects me away from football. "I'll obviously miss playing but my decision opens up plenty of other opportunities. "The club has done everything it could have to help in my recovery and I thank them for that and I thank the fans for their support over the past seven years and assure them I'll be around the club for some time yet." Mackay, who also played for Dundee and Livingston, has been coaching Saints' under-20s side, which he says he is "thoroughly enjoying". In total, he made 268 appearances for St Johnstone and Wright said: "It's disappointing news for Dave and the club but ultimately he is still a young man and it's the best decision for him and that's all that matters. "I could go on all day about what Dave has done for Saints but that is well documented in the club history books. "The simple truth is that I'm losing a great player and my captain. Very few players can be described as irreplaceable but Dave comes close. "He'll be missed in the dressing room with his leadership qualities and dry sense of humour and on behalf of myself, my staff and the players we wish him every success in the future." They were carried out under a national insurance scheme whereby private hospitals claim for treating patients who cannot afford expensive procedures. Officials estimate more than 2,000 women were talked into having their wombs removed in the last six months. The 34 medical centres accused have not yet commented on the allegations. Speaking to the BBC, Chhattisgarh Health Minister Amar Agarwal said that action had also been taken against nine medical practitioners in the state after a preliminary inquiry. "Around 34 private nursing homes are also under the scanner. We are going to take some stringent steps," he said. The money was claimed by the medical centres under the terms of an Indian government health insurance scheme launched in 2007. It allows hospitals and clinics to claim 30,000 rupees ($545/£348) per family when required to treat any of the 60 million people living below the poverty line in India. Critics say that the scheme has been widely abused by doctors, nursing homes and insurance agencies across the country since its inception. Estimates say that more than 7,000 women may have been operated on over the last 30 months, and the state opposition says more than 50,000 women have received hysterectomies in Chhattisgarh over the last five years. According to the reports being investigated by the government, poor women from remote areas approached nursing homes with ordinary medical issues. They were then allegedly "scared" by doctors into having surgery after being warned that they would contract cancer if their wombs were not removed. There are even reports of women receiving hysterectomies after asking their doctors for treatment for back pain. Some medical practitioners contend that while surgery was necessary in some cases, in others it could easily have been avoided. State opposition leader Ravindra Chaubey alleged that the unnecessary operations were the result of "connivance between health department officials and private nursing homes". He said that it happened because government medical hospitals do not have adequate medical facilities, which allows private nursing homes and practitioners to make money dishonestly. It was picked out of an ashtray by a nurse while the former prime minister was recuperating from a fractured hip at Middlesex Hospital in 1962. She saved it for her little brother in a bag marked "soiled dressings disposal" where it has been kept since. Timothy Medhurst of Duke's in Dorchester said it could sell "for thousands" due to "great interest". Churchill, then 87, was admitted to hospital after falling out of bed while on holiday in Monte Carlo. He was flown to the UK on an RAF VC10 at the request of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, and spent weeks in the private Woolavington Wing. Churchill also contracted bronchitis and pneumonia, which led to thrombosis, but he kept up his smoking habit and eventually recovered. Mr Medhurst said the cigar marked a "pivotal moment" in Churchill's life. "Churchill had already experienced many injuries, and to have such a devastating injury occur at such an old age was a threat to his stalwart 'British bulldog' image. "The operation to fix the fracture would have a caused a shortening in his leg and photographs after 1962 always show Churchill leaning on his iconic walking stick. "It's not surprising that Churchill's cigar smoking in his hospital bed was widely recorded...the cigar is something we all associate with Churchill." Churchill once said smoking cigars was like falling in love. He said: "First, you are attracted by its shape; you stay for its flavour, and you must always remember never, never to let the flame go out." He died in 1965, aged 90. His cigar goes on sale on 15 October. The singer had been attempting to grab the drone, used to get crowd shots during his concerts. "Something went wrong and he had an accident," a representative for the singer revealed on Instagram. Iglesias continued to perform after the accident before flying to Los Angeles to see a specialist. Photos posted on social media after Saturday's concert at the Plaza de Toros de Playas in Tijuana appeared to show him with a bandaged right hand and a bloodied white T-shirt. According to his press agent Joe Bonilla, Iglesias - son of veteran Spanish performer Julio - "decided to go on and continued playing for 30 minutes while the bleeding continued throughout the show". The 40-year-old was then "rushed to the airport where an ambulance met him [and he] was then put on a plane to LA to see a specialist." Iglesias, one of Latin music's biggest stars, recently took home nine prizes from the Billboard Latin Music Awards. The next date in his Sex and Love world tour is scheduled for 3 July in Mexico City. Senator Francis Le Gresley said he had spent the past two years putting the details of the legislation together. The minister said it would prohibit any racial discrimination including in work, recruitment, education and clubs. He added that there would be a public consultation into laws covering gender equality later in the year. Dr Elena Moran from the Community Relations Trust, a group that promotes and campaigns for equality, says progress must continue. "I wouldn't like them to rush it to the extent that it is all inter-connected," she said. "There will be a burden on employers and they need to think hard about whether the package as a whole, in terms of unfair dismissal and other burdens, can be lightened." Senator Le Gresley stressed that, despite a decade of delays, he had only had about two years to work on the legislation. He said: "The law stands on its own, each characteristic is added by way of regulation, it is straight forward going forward to add other areas to the law. "This doesn't just apply to discrimination in the workplace, it applies to eating out, clubs, every aspect of discrimination in Jersey." Malcolm Ferey from the Citizen's Advice Bureau says it is long overdue. "We do expect that, in the future, people will come to us with discrimination problems and ask how they can be resolved. "It is a good story, a positive day for Jersey that we finally get to move forward with a discrimination law." Mr Ferry added: "When I speak to my colleagues in the UK they are astonished we don't have this kind of law in Jersey." Dr Alan Billings suspended David Crompton after he appeared to justify police questioning of fans' behaviour after the Hillsborough disaster. His comments came after a jury concluded force conduct contributed to or caused the deaths of 96 fans. The High Court reserved a decision on whether the suspension was lawful. Judges are expected to take between two and eight weeks to deliver a ruling. The Hillsborough inquests ruled that all 96 people who died in the disaster in 1989 were unlawfully killed. Mr Crompton gave two statements after the verdicts and in the second, appeared to justify the force's line of questioning about the behaviour of fans. After the findings were delivered in April, the PCC decided to invoke a procedure under which Mr Crompton was suspended. He was ultimately required to resign that September, but had intended to retire in November after 30 years of service. On Tuesday, Mr Crompton's lawyers challenged his removal from the force, claiming there was "no fair basis" for the "draconian step". Lawyers for the police and crime commissioner argued Mr Crompton's statement caused harm to the reputation of the force when its "standing was already at a low" following the inquests and Rotherham child sex abuse scandal. The court heard Dr Billings was "entitled to conclude" that public trust and confidence in the force had been damaged. Stones and other missiles were thrown at officers in the Glebetown area. "This is an extremely difficult and sensitive call to attend for the officers involved," police said. "It is totally unacceptable that a family who were trying to grieve in a dignified manner, were subjected to having to witness this behaviour." The Scotland defender will leave Ipswich this summer and is thought to have held talks over a Hearts return. But Cathro insists there would be no official transfer business at Tynecastle until the end of the season. "I am aware of the speculation surrounding [Berra] and there are reasons for that," he said. "There will be no comment on any of that until the end of the season." Cathro signed nine players in January, including Greek international Alexandros Tziolis, and paying Anorthosis Famagusta £170,000 for striker Ismael Goncalves. However, the Tynecastle side have since relinquished their top-four Scottish Premiership place, and trail fourth-placed St Johnstone by six points with three games remaining. After the January upheaval, Cathro anticipates a more manageable transfer process during the summer. "I think four players will join us," he said. "The summer window is very different to the January window, partly because you have more time. "We are not a club that is in the position in the market to have transfer fees, so that determines it is very difficult in January and significantly easier in the summer. "Every bit of business you do at the end of the season is simpler. The January window is a rushed one, partly because it's shorter, the stage of the season - you are doing business whilst you are competing as well. "It will be completely different, we will have time to prepare these things. I arrived here on 6 December, 25 days before the window opened, of course it was rushed. Now it's not. "We have lived through things and learned things which point us in a very, very clear direction. I know exactly what we are going to bring and exactly what I want the squad and team to look like come the first competitive game." Cathro takes his team to face Rangers on Saturday six months after making his managerial debut at Ibrox. The 30-year-old has since won six times in 23 matches, but he feels he will take valuable lessons from a difficult baptism. "A lot of things have happened," he said. "The most important thing [is] I know exactly what the team is going to be like. "There have been some lessons in order to figure some of those things out and adjust some things, all the natural things that a team lives through." In September, 2,252 purchasers - mostly first-time buyers - used the scheme, giving it a record third quarter. Buyers are given an interest-free loan to top up their deposits, financed by the taxpayer. But there is concern that the popularity of Help to Buy could fuel further increases in house prices. "Overall the proportion of sales accounted for by Help to Buy is 40% and on some building sites it is reaching 70%," said Ray Boulger of John Charcol mortgages. "That makes it massively important." Since the scheme was launched in early 2013, more than 62,500 properties worth £13.6bn have been bought with the help of taxpayer-funded loans worth £2.7bn, according to official figures. Ministers have been keen to point out that first-time buyers made four out of five Help to Buy purchases, many of them at the lower-priced end of the housing market. But LSL, the estate agency group that includes Reeds Rains and Your Move, is warning that Help to Buy and other support for first-time buyers could contribute to a spike in house prices. The rise could appear as buy-to-let investors scramble to avoid the extra 3% stamp duty charge imposed by George Osborne on their purchases that comes into effect in April. LSL's Adrian Gill said: "There will be a growth in demand from both first-time buyers with extra financial support and buy-to-let landlords hoping to invest before the tax changes come into force." Help to Buy Equity Loan, for new builds, will carry on until 2020, while its sister scheme Help to Buy Mortgage Guarantee - assisting buyers of both new and existing homes - ends in a year's time. The ex-Flamengo goalkeeper has been released on parole pending an appeal after seven years in jail. He admitted conspiring with friends who murdered Eliza Samudio and fed her body to dogs, but denied direct involvement. His release sparked anger, particularly after he was hired by a football club. On Tuesday, Brazil's Supreme Court said in a statement that it "has revoked its decision suspending his (Fernandes') imprisonment". A court source said the footballer must return to custody "with immediate effect", AFP news agency reports. Fernandes, better known as Bruno among football fans, was released in Ferbuary. His lawyers argued successfully that he could not be held in custody as the courts had failed to hear his appeal within the required time. In March, Fernandes, 32, signed for Brazilian second division club Boa Esporte. The signing triggered protests from fans and the withdrawal of several Boa Esporte sponsors. In 2010, Bruno Fernandes was a successful goalkeeper and had been tipped to play for Brazil in the 2014 Fifa World Cup finals. Brazilians were shocked at his arrest and subsequent confession that he knew that Ms Samudio had been strangled and her remains fed to his dogs. Prosecutors said that Fernandes had had her killed to avoid paying pay child maintenance for their baby son. It follows plans to raise the fee cap to £9,250 a year from 2017 in England, with increases in line with inflation in subsequent years. Currently, there are no similar increases planned for Wales. The Welsh Government said it will consider recommendations of a review, due to report soon. Swansea University's vice chancellor, Prof Richard Davies, told BBC Wales there were "good reasons" for being closely aligned with the way things work in England. He said, if there were changes which allowed Swansea University to increase fees in line with England, they "would have to do it". Any decision to raise the level of the maximum tuition fee for Welsh universities would have to be taken by the Welsh Government. Prof Davies said "it would be of no kindness to students to offer them a cheap and cheerful university" and, with less funding, there was a risk "all the more enthusiastic, ambitious young people go elsewhere". He insisted Swansea University was determined to avoid that situation and would maintain high standards by finding other ways of generating money. However, the vice chancellor said alternative sources of income made him "rather sad" because it meant "spending far more of your effort on the overseas market and having fewer Welsh students coming". Welsh universities will receive less European funding following the result of the EU referendum and international students will have to bridge the funding gap, Prof Davies said. He added he would be "amazed" if a review headed by Prof Sir Ian Diamond into funding in Wales did not recognise the need to allocate more money for maintenance costs to help struggling students. The Welsh Government currently pays up to £5,190 towards tuition fees for Welsh students in the UK. But Welsh universities have argued the grants - which totalled £229m in 2014-15 - could be better spent helping poor students, rather than some of the money ending up at colleges in England. President of NUS Wales, Fflur Elin, said students were already leaving university with "crippling debt", and education at Welsh universities must be accessible. She said she hoped the Diamond review would also take account of "the whole cost of living", including rent and other costs. A Welsh Government spokesman said: "As you know, any decision to raise the level of the maximum tuition fee for Welsh universities would have to be taken by Welsh Government. "The Diamond Review has been commissioned to consider the future of student finance and higher education in Wales. Professor Diamond is due to report in the autumn and we will consider his recommendations once published." Dr Sarandev Bhambra was set upon by 26-year-old Zack Davies with a hammer and machete in Tesco in Mold, Flintshire. Mold Crown Court previously heard it was a revenge attack for the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby. Mr Davies, of Mold, denies attempted murder but admits wounding with intent. Dr Bhambra was walking down an aisle in the store on 14 January when Mr Davies attacked him. Shopper Leanne Jones said she heard the words "white power" and said Mr Davies "started to act like a lunatic and raised the machete above his head... he was striking him as hard as he could." In a statement read to the court, another witness described hearing the words "white power" and "come here, this is for Lee Rigby". Another woman, who was shopping with her four-year-old daughter, said: "He was shouting 'justice for the whites' as he was hacking with the machete... he was constantly striking on the Asian man's back." She said Dr Bhambra had panic in his face and she thought he was "running for his life." The court heard Dr Bhambra suffered two lacerations to his scalp which went down to the bone and a cut to his back which went down to the muscle. The injury to his left hand caused major nerve, artery and tendon damage and he was in surgery for five hours. Mr Davies told police: "It was me. I did it for Lee Rigby." While being interviewed by police, Mr Davies said jihadi violence, the terror attacks in France and the murder of Lee Rigby were all on his mind. He told officers he hoped his victim was "not seriously injured" but said he had harboured violent thoughts for more than a decade. "Since I was 15 I have carried a knife every day and had thoughts of attacking people. Since I was 11 I have been holding back the violence" he told officers. "It was a moment of madness, up to today I have been able to control these urges," he added. Mr Davies said Dr Bhambra's religion was irrelevant, adding: "It was his appearance, just the way he looked... it was his racial appearance. "Young white girls abused by Asians - that was also in the back of my mind." Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale were jailed for life in February 2014 for hacking Fusilier Rigby to death. The trial continues. The officer serves with Essex Police and was arrested in a Braintree supermarket car park over arranging to meet a child under the age of 16. He was held on Wednesday after a third party passed information to the force. Essex Police said the officer has been suspended "pending the outcome of the investigation". It added he had been released while inquiries continue. A separate and independent unit to where the officer worked undertook the initial investigation, the force said. The matter has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. Their team for next year's event in Gotland includes only Di Aitchison and Steve Mahy from the players who competed at Jersey 2015. Aimee Ponte, the 2015 women's gold medallist, and men's bronze medallist Bobby Eggo are among those not named. "I think realistically we're looking more at a team medal as being the goal," Eric Legg told BBC Guernsey. "We've got a younger men's team possibly than normal and I'm hoping they will rise to the occasion, "The ladies will be trying their hardest, as they do, and as they proved against Jersey they were up for the challenge, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how well they will do." Guernsey golf team for 2017 Island Games: Men: Steve Mahy, Tom Le Huray, Sean Mills, Jeremy Nicolle. Women: Di Aitchison, Mandy Webber, Julie Creed, Laura Jeffrey The 18-year-olds were attacked on Granby Row, in Manchester city centre, at about 02:15 BST. Police said the offenders, believed to be in their 20s, approached the victims on Chorlton Street , walked with them and then assaulted them. Police said two passers-by intervened and the attackers ran off. Detectives are urging witnesses to come forward. Det Sgt Clare Smith, of Greater Manchester Police, said the victims were "understandably left extremely distressed" by the "disturbing" attack. "This happened following a busy Saturday night in Manchester and it is possible that there could have been a number of people in the nearby area at the time that may hold key information," she said. "I would like to pay tribute to the two men who spotted what was happening and quickly intervened." Councillor Martin Kitts-Hayes was due to attend the North Sea Commission at Legoland in Denmark in June. But the delegation returned early as he was not happy with their cabins. Mr Kitts-Hayes said he took the decision to resign with immediate effect on Monday, but was asked to defer this until 29 September. The abortive trip cost nearly £3,500. He was also accused of a cover-up after telling his personal assistant not to tell anyone the delegation had returned home. The full council is due to consider an internal report - which revealed last week that Mr Kitts-Hayes felt his Legoland accommodation was like a "glorified shed" - on Thursday. Jim Savege, chief executive of Aberdeenshire Council, said: "I can confirm that I received notification from Cllr Kitts-Hayes of his intention to resign from his post as co-leader of the council and chair of the policy and resources committee." Fellow co-leader councillor Richard Thomson said: "I believe that the decision to step down was the correct one under the circumstances, and that this timescale - which Cllr Kitts-Hayes agreed to at the request of Aberdeenshire's Partnership Administration - is in the best interests of the continued smooth running of the council. "Clearly, a reshuffle of positions and responsibilities is now needed within the administration. We will now begin the necessary processes within the administration to allow that to happen and will present any changes that we seek to make to the full council meeting on 29 September." Mr Kitts-Hayes, of the Progressive Independent Group, raised concerns in a newspaper at the weekend about the cost of a special council meeting to discuss the trip. The councillor was quoted in the Press and Journal as saying the special meeting could cost the council £10,000. The figure was based on potential travel expenses for councillors, and the time of council officers. Leader of the Aberdeenshire Alliance, Councillor Jim Gifford, said: "It is welcome news that at last Cllr Kitts Hayes has faced up to his responsibilities and resigned although we are less than impressed at his decision to work out some sort of notice period and put it off for another four or five weeks. "It is disappointing that his statement made no real apology and again appears to be trying to blame others. He has signally failed to apologise properly to the hard working and dedicated officers of the council who have been dragged into this debacle of his making." Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group, councillor Karen Clark, said: "This resignation is long overdue and the fact that it has come only a couple of days before the crunch council meeting does not add much honour to Cllr Kitts Hayes position. "However, his statement suggests that the administration are content for him to work out his notice. That is not acceptable." Councillor Norman Smith, Independent Group co-ordinator, said: "This resignation was long overdue and the idea that it won't take effect for another four or five weeks is a slap in the face to our valued officers who have become embroiled in this sorry business. "We have called for his immediate resignation and will continue to do so." Mr Kitts-Hayes - the councillor for Inverurie and District and co-council leader with the SNP's Richard Thomson - said in June that his decision to return early from Denmark had been a "poor one". Council chief executive Mr Savege is carrying out a further investigation into the actions of those with access to the internal report - which was sent to councillors in confidence - after an earlier leak to the media. Pinewood Group Plc has appointed the investment bank Rothschild to carry out a major strategic review of its assets and structure. Filming for Amazon Prime's first UK original drama, The Collection, is due to start at the Cardiff site soon. Pinewood said the sale was just one of a number of options being investigated. The review is part of Pinewood's attempts to be listed as one of the UK's most well-known companies on the London Stock Exchange and attract more attention from potential investors. Andrew Smith, Corporate Affairs Director at Pinewood Plc, said: "We have launched the strategic review because just about 80% of the company is owned by three shareholders and in order to continue to build on our successes to date we need to release more finance so we can market on the London Stock Exchange. "Those successes will hopefully establish a price which will allow shareholders to sell down and create liquidity." The company has a market capitalisation of £250m and its statement says a sale is one of the options - but some kind of other change to its structure might be the solution. Rothschild will be advising them on the best course of action but the implications for the studio in Cardiff will not be known until the advisors finish their work and Pinewood tells the stock exchange of its findings. "Sale is just one of a huge number of options. The value is for the market to decide," Mr Smith added. He said the company's current expectations of performance for this financial year are now higher than when they released results in December. He said: "This robust trading includes Pinewood Studios Wales where Amazon's first UK production, The Collection, will start filming soon. "This is about looking at capital growth. We are hiring more staff in our facilities, including our facilities in Wales and are delighted that Amazon are shooting their first UK project here." Pinewood Studios Wales is based at the former Energy Centre building in Wentloog. The Collection, an eight-part series set in the world of French haute couture just after WWII and filmed in both Wales and France is the latest project to film there. Ivan Dunleavy, Pinewood Group Plc's chief executive, said: "We believe Pinewood has the potential to build on the strong performance of the last few years to grow further both in the UK and internationally. "The board is now looking to identify the best ways to create the appropriate capital structure to allow the company to realise its goals in the best interests of shareholders." Pte Gavin Williams, 22, of Hengoed, Caerphilly, was serving with the Second Battalion of the Royal Welsh Regiment at Lucknow Barracks in Wiltshire. He died from heart failure as a result of heatstroke after a physical punishment known as "beasting". Judge Alan Large, assistant coroner for Wilshire and Swindon, reopened Pte Williams's inquest on Monday. In a statement the soldier's mother said her son was unhappy after being posted to the barracks in Tidworth and was targeted for punishment. The inquest heard Wiltshire Constabulary conducted a criminal investigation into Pte Williams's death and charged three men in July 2006. Sgt Russell Price, 45, Sgt Paul Blake, 37, and Cpl John Edwards, 42, were found not guilty of manslaughter by a jury at Winchester Crown Court. The investigation branch of the royal military police then looked at the matter. In 2009 following their report, the service prosecuting authority decided no prosecutions would be brought against any Army personnel. In 2010 a further investigation was conducted by the army as to whether any actions should be taken. A service inquiry commenced in 2011 and in February 2013 produced a report. The hearing continues. Ibrahim Halawa, 20, the son of Ireland's most senior Muslim cleric, was arrested during anti-government protests in Cairo in August 2013. He is due in court on Saturday along with 463 others, charged with inciting violence, rioting and sabotage. They all face a possible death penalty, if convicted. Three months ago, Egypt rejected a called from the Irish government for the immediate release of Mr Halawa, whose family live in Dublin, under presidential decree. The Egyptian government has also rejected allegations by the United Nations about his treatment in prison. Mr Halawa's trial has been postponed 15 times and his legal team fear another adjournment. Amnesty International held a vigil at Stormont on Tuesday to show support for a campaign calling for his immediate release. Those who took part included MLAs from Sinn Féin, the SDLP, Alliance and People Before Profit. Mr Halawa's sister, Khadija, was there along with her husband and two young children. She called on the Irish government to do more to put pressure on the Egyptian authorities to release her brother. Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan has said the case is a "key priority" and he met his Egyptian counterpart in Cairo in June to underline the government's concerns. But the family and their supporters say the Irish government could do more. "We are very concerned about him, about his treatment in prison, and what might happen to him" said Khadija Halawa. "The Irish government has tried to do something, but it needs to be doing more and it can do more. It should be more pro-active, and should be taking immediate steps and not just wait for the presidential decree. "There should be more communication with the Egyptian government to try to have something done." Amnesty International has declared Mr Halawa a prisoner of conscience. Patrick Corrigan, Northern Ireland programme director for the human rights group, has supported the family's call. "This young Irish citizen has spent more than three years living in horrific conditions, without access to proper medical care, and without any prospect of a fair trial," he said. "Amnesty International remains gravely concerned for his physical and mental wellbeing and we reiterate our call for his immediate and unconditional release." Mr Halawa was 17 when he was arrested along with three of his sisters after Egyptian security forces ended a siege at the Al-Fath mosque in Cairo in August 2013. They said they were on holiday at the time and sought refuge in the mosque to escape the violence outside. His sisters were later released on bail. The family has denied claims that Mr Halawa is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's oldest and largest Islamist organisation. The Egyptian government has declared it a terrorist group, a claim the organisation rejects. More than 1,000 people have been killed and 40,000 are believed to have been jailed since President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi led the military's overthrow of Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's first democratically elected head of state, in 2013. In a speech to an education charity, Mr Miliband said he will work with universities and employers to create such high-status qualifications. Labour has called for more options for what it calls the "forgotten 50%" who do not go to university. The Conservatives said his speech contained "no new ideas". Technical degrees will help to drive a "high-wage, high-skill, high-quality economy," said Mr Miliband. The proposals from the Labour leader set out an education pathway for vocational rather than academic subjects. It suggests that under Labour, university expansion would be focused on vocational training. "For too long, governments have believed there is only one way to success through education which is to follow the conventional academic route - to do GCSEs, A-levels, a traditional academic subject at university and then on to a career," Mr Miliband said at the Higher Ambitions Summit in London, organised by the Sutton Trust and Pearson. Such an academic route is not appropriate for all young people, he argued. The proposals, announced on Tuesday, outline a way for talented vocational students to progress into higher education, with the creation of "technical degrees". Mr Miliband pointed towards Germany as an example of how vocational qualifications can be given a high status. Students would be able to continue working while studying for such qualifications, he suggested. "This is a new direction for our country, equal status for vocational qualifications from school to university and beyond, equipping our young people with the skills they need and providing our country with a reason to be confident for the future so we can compete with the very best economies in the world in a race to the top," he said. He said that there is a "real danger of our children doing worse than their parents" and that the economy needs to make better use of young people's talents. Head teachers' leader Brian Lightman said: "High-status, high-level vocational qualifications have been something of a holy grail in the UK. "We do need clear pathways for both academic and vocational routes that are equally accepted by employers and offer good job prospects. Having progression routes for vocational careers that start at GCSE level and go up to a degree equivalent is key." The proposals were welcomed by the EEF manufacturers' organisation as a way of helping to "plug the skills gap and fill the pipeline of talent urgently needed by UK manufacturers". "While our industry needs graduates, it also needs more talented young people to see vocational-based training as an attractive alternative to academic study," said Tim Thomas, the EEF's head of employment policy. Rod Bristow, president of Pearson UK, said: "With more than one in five students already going to university with a BTEC, a move to a clearer, technical path into and through higher education - as offered through the Higher National Diploma - is welcome and is what students will increasingly demand." The emphasis on high-level vocational training marks a dividing line in higher education policy between Labour and the government. There are plans from the government to expand the number of university places - with an initial 30,000 student places to be funded this autumn and a further 60,000 the following year. Universities minister David Willetts has said: "Graduates are the engines of our future growth." Ahead of Mr Miliband's speech to the Sutton Trust, Conservative skills and enterprise minister Matthew Hancock said youth unemployment had risen under Labour and "far too many of our children didn't get the training they needed to succeed". He said the current government was "leading a skills revolution" with 1.8 million new apprenticeships. The 23-year-old made 12 appearances for the Dons since joining them last summer after his release by Southampton. The United States Under-23 man failed to keep a clean sheet as the Dons were relegated from the Championship. News of his release comes the day after young keeper Charlie Burns was given a new contact at Stadium:MK. Defenders Matthew Upson, Antony Kay and Jordan Spence were released by the Dons earlier in the month. The prime minister raised the subject during talks with US President Barack Obama at the White House. Critics of existing rules say they make the extradition of UK nationals easier as the US authorities have to produce less evidence to support their case. But a senior judge reviewing it in 2011 found it was fair to British citizens. The BBC's political editor Nick Robinson said Mr Cameron had raised the issue about how extradition rules are operating in practice during two hours of talks at the White House on Wednesday. The prime minister is in the middle on a three-day official visit to the United States. Concerns have been raised about the 2003 US-UK extradition treaty following controversial cases involving British citizens such as Christopher Tappin and Gary McKinnon. Parliament's Joint Committee on Human Rights are among those who have urged the government to renegotiate the treaty, saying it is unbalanced. Mr Tappin, a retired businessman, was extradited to the US last month for allegedly selling batteries for Iranian missiles, charges he denies. He says he has been treated unfairly by the UK justice system and his human rights have been breached - although the extradition request was authorised by the home secretary and later approved by the High Court and Court of Appeal. Mr McKinnon faces extradition to answer US allegations that he hacked into military computer systems. He admits hacking into Pentagon and Nasa computers but says he was looking for evidence of UFOs. His family have fought a long campaign against his extradition, saying Mr McKinnon - who suffers from Asperger's syndrome - is highly vulnerable and sending him for trial in the US could seriously damage his health. The US authorities have long insisted that the treaty is fair and reciprocal and serves the interests of justice in both countries. On Thursday Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said it was a "perfectly legitimate question" to ask if more British citizens could be put on trial in the UK rather than being sent abroad. The Lib Dem leader has asked his colleague Sir Menzies Campbell to conduct a separate review of how the rules are working. Sir Menzies told the BBC that many MPs thought the treaty had resulted in "one-way traffic" and urged the home secretary to respond to Lord Justice Scott Baker's recent report as soon as possible. "When that happens then unless it is favourable to those of us who think a change is necessary, then I think there'll be quite a lot of political annoyance," he said. The Blues were without their top scorer after a training ground dispute over his fitness, amid reports he has been offered a lucrative move to China. That saga did not affect them at the King Power Stadium, however, with Eden Hazard setting up Alonso to fire home after only six minutes. The Spanish wing-back added his second early in the second half when his shot from the edge of the area was deflected in. Pedro made sure of the points with a deft header from Willian's cross. Leicester, lining up in a new-look 3-5-2 formation, struggled to find a way back into the game. Ahmed Musa had tested Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois before his side fell behind, but the defending champions did not manage another shot on target. Media playback is not supported on this device Before kick-off, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte had played down any row involving Costa, claiming he was not in his squad because of a back injury. Whatever the truth behind Costa's absence, the Blues showed again that they can win without the Spain striker, who has scored 14 goals and provided five assists for them this season. Chelsea initially had to work harder for the points than they did when Costa was suspended in their 3-0 victory over Bournemouth on 26 December - the only other league game he has missed in 2016-17. Again they used Hazard to lead the line rather than turn to £33m summer signing Michy Batshuayi, who was left on the bench and still awaits his first league start. Alonso, rather than Hazard, will get the headlines on this occasion, but Chelsea's dominant performance was further evidence it will be hard to dislodge them from top spot. This was Chelsea's 12th clean sheet in 21 games and, even without Costa's belligerent presence up front, they remain difficult to break down and dangerous when they come forward. Conte's side had seen their 13-game winning streak ended by Tottenham in their previous Premier League game, but that remains their only defeat since the end of September. Spurs' emphatic win over West Brom earlier on Saturday had reduced the Blues' lead to four points, but if Chelsea are feeling any pressure in the title race they did not show it here. Their form is becoming ominous for the chasing pack, and Liverpool - their nearest rivals before the weekend - can ill afford to lose any more ground when they face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri, named Fifa's coach of the year this week, attempted to match Chelsea's formation by playing with wing-backs of his own - but his experiment did not pay off. Albrighton and Ben Chilwell failed to make the same impact as their opposite numbers, Alonso and Victor Moses, and the Foxes struggled to create chances. England striker Jamie Vardy was back from suspension to lead their attack, but he made little impression apart from playing one dangerous cross and did not manage a single shot. Leicester are still six points above the relegation zone despite this defeat but, with Riyad Mahrez, Islam Slimani and Daniel Amarty away at the Africa Cup of Nations, Ranieri must find a better blend with the players still at his disposal.

The state of emergency gives security forces more powers and limits the right of public assembly. Authorities had already tightened security, deploying more than 1,400 armed officers at hotels and beaches. Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi said in a national address that "exceptional measures" were needed. "In order to face up to this scourge we need to be prepared. We need to have enough troops, proper training and material means - we are in desperate need of material means," he said, appealing for international counter-terrorism support and co-operation. The state of emergency will be in place for a renewable period of 30 days. An official from the prime minister's office said several officials had been sacked in the wake of the attack, including the governor of Sousse. "Just as there have been security failures, there have also been political failures," Dhafer Neji told AFP. Security forces were criticised for not responding more quickly to the attack on 26 June in Sousse, when a gunman opened fire on tourists on a beach and in a hotel before being shot dead by police. Those killed included 30 Britons. The gunman has been identified as student Seifeddine Rezgui, who authorities say had trained in Libya. Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid conceded in a BBC interview on Friday that the slow response of the police was a key problem. He said Rezgui had probably trained with the Ansar al-Sharia group, though Islamic State (IS) earlier said it was behind the attack. Eight people have been arrested on suspicion of collaborating with Rezgui, and the government says it has uncovered the network behind the Sousse attack. Authorities have also pledged to close some 80 mosques that were operating outside government control and accused of spreading extremism. Analysts say Tunisia has been put at risk by the chaotic situation in neighbouring Libya, and by the danger posed by Tunisians who have gone to fight in Syria and Iraq returning home. In his speech on Saturday, Mr Essebsi spoke in general terms about the threat posed by Libya. He also spoke at length about the economic and social challenges facing the country, including high unemployment and poverty in the country's interior. Tunisian security forces had responded to security challenges "gradually", he said, "because we did not have the culture of terrorism in Tunisia". The last time Tunisia declared a state of emergency was in 2011, in the uprising which overthrew President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali. It was lifted in March 2014. Officials are expected to pass a counter-terrorism bill that has been in parliament since early 2014 in the coming weeks. The Sousse attack represented the second blow in three months to Tunisia's tourism industry, an important sector for the country. In March, two gunmen killed 22 people at the renowned Bardo museum in Tunisia's capital, Tunis. The court was responding to a case brought by a group of evacuees who had been forced to flee their homes. It ruled that the disaster could have been averted if government regulators had ordered plant operator Tepco to take preventive safety measures. The government and Tepco were both ordered to compensate the evacuees. Around 80,000 people were forced to flee their homes when three reactors failed at the plant after a tsunami that struck six years ago. It was the world's most serious nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986. The district court in Maebashi, north of Tokyo, ruled in favour of 137 evacuees seeking damages for the emotional distress of fleeing their homes. The parties were told to pay a total 38.6m yen ($341,000, £275,000) in compensation, far below the 1.5bn yen the group had sought. A number of legal cases have already been filed against Tepco (Tokyo Electric Power) relating to the disaster, but this is the first time a court has recognised that the government was liable for negligence. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, the government's top spokesman, declined to comment but said the ruling would have no impact on the country's nuclear power policies. Anti-nuclear sentiment runs high in Japan, but the government has been resolute in restarting reactors that were closed in the aftermath of the disaster. The 14ft (4.2m) head of Copenhagen, ridden by the Iron Duke at the Battle of Waterloo, has been cast in bronze by sculptor Nic Fiddian-Green. It was unveiled in the quad at Wellington College, Crowthorne to mark the school's 150th anniversary. Copenhagen was ridden back to England by the duke after victory over the French at Waterloo in 1815. The school was originally set up as a charitable educational institution in the duke's memory. Mr Fiddian-Green studied portraits of Copenhagen at the duke's home of Stratfield Saye in Hampshire, as well as a death mask of the horse kept in the basement of the Royal Academy. The 40-year-old has scored 365 runs in the County Championship, averaging 36.50 this season, and taken 26 first-class wickets at an average of 35.03. "I have said I am keen to play for another year," he told BBC Radio Kent. "It is in their court at the moment and we will see what happens. I have not seen a contract yet but hopefully we can sort something out." Stevens is in his 12th season at Canterbury and believes he can still perform physically at the top level. He added: "I sat the physios down a couple of weeks ago and asked 'what do you reckon?" "They said if I look after myself I can get two years out of myself easily." Stevens is also keen to pass on his experience to the emerging players at the club. "I find helping the young lads through certain situations in a game quite enjoyable," the former Leicestershire player said. "Whilst I am still playing I feel I can help a lot in the middle as well as off the pitch. "Kent's future is looking really bright with the young players kicking on and playing England Lions cricket." A cinema, restaurants and shops, as well as public space in the form of an amphitheatre are included in Princesshay Partnership's proposals. John Grinnell, of the partnership, said: "It's an extremely complex project and there's still a long way to go in planning and design terms." A public consultation was held on its initial plans last November. "We're really pleased to submit an outline application, which is an important step in unlocking the true potential of this gateway to Exeter," Mr Grinnell said. "As the region's best shopping and leisure scheme, Princesshay is a fantastic asset for the city and we're committed to improving it even further, whether that's by bringing in great new brands and restaurants, or working with the council to regenerate the bus station site." The Princesshay Partnership is a joint venture between the Crown Estate and TH Real Estate.

Welshman Thomson is aiming to become the first Briton to win the race. Thomson had led for the majority of the race but was overtaken by Le Cleac'h when he suffered a damaged foil. The skippers have begun their journey north back across the Atlantic towards the finish port at Les Sables-d'Olonne. They are expected to finish in eight days and are both picking up pace after a weekend in the Doldrums. Media playback is not supported on this device Thomson regained the lead in the round-the-world race north of the Kerguelen Islands in the Indian Ocean on 30 November, but then lost ground. He broke two race records prior to being overtaken, as he reached the Cape of Good Hope in record time. The Vendee Globe takes place every four years. Since the first race in 1989, only 71 of 138 starters have completed the voyage, which is known for being one of the most gruelling sporting challenges in the world. Find out how to get into sailing with our special guide. Matt Baggott told the BBC that a new way must be found to deal with such cases. He made the comments in an interview marking his final day in office. He told the BBC that there was a "need to separate the past from the present". "I think how ever that is done, the PSNI should no longer be accountable for dealing with issues that pre-date the Good Friday Agreement," he said. "We have to create a situation where police resources are focused on the here and now, without taking away from the needs of justice or victims. "But that can be done in a different place, under a different authority." Northern Ireland attorney general John Larkin QC said last December that there should be no further police investigations, inquests or inquiries into any killings pre-dating the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. The conflict in Northern Ireland during the late 20th century is known as the Troubles. More than 3,600 people were killed and thousands more injured. During a period of 30 years many violent acts were carried out, with the vast majority being committed by paramilitaries and a lesser number by the security forces. Read more about the Troubles Mr Larkin's proposal prompted First Minister Peter Robinson to say it was "effectively an amnesty" and that those who were victims of the Troubles had a right to expect prosecutions. More than 3,500 people were killed during three decades of conflict in Northern Ireland. Mr Baggott, who has been a police officer for 37 years, first took up the job as head of the PSNI in August 2009. His tenure in Northern Ireland included overseeing what was described as the safest G8 summit ever held, a policing operation praised by protesters and US President Barack Obama. However, he also found himself heavily criticised by unionists and nationalists over how police dealt with flag protests and parades. Protests over the flying of the union flag started in December 2012 after many people within loyalist communities were angered by the decision of Belfast City Council to restrict the number of days the flag is flown at the city hall. Mr Baggott said being the chief constable in Northern Ireland had been a "massive, massive privilege". "It is absolutely the friendliest place that I've ever had the privilege to work and throughout the last five years, which hasn't been without its challenges, we have been buoyed and encouraged all the way along that by some fantastic people. "It is with a heavy heart that we're going." The new chief constable will be the current assistant chief constable, George Hamilton from Bangor, County Down. The press and broadcasters - all of them under direct state control - serve up a menu of flattering reports about North Korea's leader. Economic hardship and famines are not reported. North Korea is one of the hardest countries for foreign media to cover. Ordinary North Koreans caught listening to foreign broadcasts risk harsh punishments, such as forced labour. The authorities attempt to jam foreign-based and dissident radio stations. A glimmer of hope, says watchdog Reporters Without Borders, is the "communications black market" on the North Korean-Chinese border where recordings of South Korean TV soaps and films are said to circulate. Meagre media for North Koreans North Korea has a minimal internet presence. News agency KCNA and the party newspaper Rodong Sinmun are among a handful of official sites. Their output is aimed largely at audiences outside North Korea. Uriminzikkiri, a site hosted in China, carries news from official North Korean sources. It operates accounts on Twitter, YouTube and Flickr. Online access within North Korea is exceedingly rare and limited to sites that comprise the domestic intranet, says OpenNet Initiative. Content is chosen, and user activity monitored, by the authorities. North Korea is one of RSF's "Enemies of the Internet". North Korean journalists are active on blog sites hosted in Japan and South Korea, the organisation says. A South Korean newspaper has said the North is believed to employ up to 1,000 hackers targeting other nations. There is a 3G mobile phone service - a joint venture with an Egyptian firm. Take-up has proved popular among wealthier citizens in Pyongyang. In 2013, officials loosened some curbs by allowing visitors to bring their mobile phones into North Korea. But mobile phone calls between foreigners and locals are prohibited.

He's suspected of running the men over after an argument on a film set. "So far we have not confirmed it was him, driving the truck. So we're not saying Suge Knight was driving the truck at this time," said Lt John Corina, from Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. "Although we want to talk to him, since the truck supposedly belongs to him." A lawyer for the Death Row Records founder seemed to confirm Knight had been driving at the time but claimed it was an accident and he was running away from attackers. "He was in the process of being physically assaulted by two men and in an effort to escape he unfortunately hit two (other) individuals,'' lawyer James Blatt said. "He was in his car trying to escape. "We are confident that once the investigation is completed, he will be totally exonerated," Mr Blatt added. Knight, 49, planned to turn himself in to authorities, he said. Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt John Corina said: "From the people we've talked to so far, and we still have more witnesses to talk to, so far the people we've talked to say it looked like it was an intentional act. "So we're handling it as a homicide." Police say a red pickup truck hit the men while they were in the car park of a fast-food restaurant and then drove away. A 55-year-old man died at a hospital and a 51-year-old man was injured but Corina did not have any more information about his condition. The empty truck was found on Thursday night in a West Los Angeles car park. It's been claimed that Marion "Suge" Knight drove to the fast-food restaurant car park after an argument on the set of a film about rap pioneers NWA. Witnesses said another argument then occurred before the accident. Mr Blatt said he had not yet spoken to Knight but that he planned to negotiate to surrender. There is no word yet on when that will happen. Knight founded Death Row Records with Dr Dre in the 1990s but later declared bankruptcy and the company was auctioned off. Last August he was shot six times at a nightclub in Los Angeles. No arrests have been made relating to that incident. In November, he pleaded not guilty to a robbery charge filed after a celebrity photographer accused him of stealing her camera in Beverly Hills. He could face up to 30 years in prison because of prior convictions. The music boss has previously been convicted of armed robbery and assault with a gun. He has also served time for violating probation.

The project has been funded by £1.34m community investment and a £3.55m Welsh Government loan. Volunteers said they had to "pinch ourselves to believe it is happening." Dan McCallum, Awel Co-op's project manager, said "It was fantastic to see the tower sections go through very quickly without a hitch. "There were lots of people on the street watching the spectacle." The site has been constructed using materials from the Port Talbot steelworks. Mr McCallum added: "We've been working on the project for 18 years as local volunteers, and we had to pinch ourselves to actually believe it is happening." The group is holding a series of events to "encourage people to invest", with the aim to secure another £1m worth of funding. Members are offered a 5% return on their investment. It is thought wind power could contribute £2.3bn to the Welsh economy. The Welsh Government loan £3.55m has helped the project secure a higher level of income from Feed in Tariffs, a payment made to households or businesses that generate their own electricity from renewable resources. Samuel Armstrong, 23, who appeared Southwark Crown Court, denies two counts of rape, one of sexual assault and one of assault by penetration. He has been suspended from his position as chief of staff to South Thanet's Conservative MP Craig Mackinlay. Mr Armstrong, of Copt Hill, Danbury, Essex, is go on trial on 11 December. A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for 29 September. Judge Deborah Taylor bailed Mr Armstrong on the condition he does not enter the Palace of Westminster or contact the alleged victim. The two 12-year-olds were attacked in Granitehill Road in the Northfield area of Aberdeen about 20:00 on Wednesday. The area was cordoned off as police and specialist fire crews carried out investigations. Police Scotland described the suspects as two youths wearing dark clothes and possibly gloves. The sister of one of the boys posted a picture of him on Facebook, which showed the extent of his injuries. It showed him with extensive blistering on one side of his face, particularly around his eye. The post said: "My gorgeous little brothers face! Someone threw some sort of acid/chemical at him and his friends faces!! My poor boy is devastated!" She later told BBC Scotland her brother was in a lot of pain. Det Insp Allen Shaw, who is leading the investigation, said: "This has been a shocking and despicable incident against two young boys who have obviously been left upset and shaken by what has happened to them. "They have been left with significant injuries and were taken to the Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital for treatment. "Extensive inquiries are ongoing to trace those responsible and we are working with our colleagues in the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service as part of our investigation. "There will be a police presence in the area for some time, however the scene where this incident happened has been examined and I can assure the public it is safe. "I would appeal for anyone with information about the incident, whether you were in the area at the time or know anything about it, to please get in touch. "You can contact Police Scotland on 101, via the Police Scotland website or via the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 if you would prefer to remain anonymous." He added: "I can assure the local community that all resources available to us will be used to trace those responsible. It won't be tolerated." All of the affected beach huts are brick-built chalets in Jubilee Parade in Lowestoft. Waveney District Council has written to leaseholders saying they will not be able to use their huts this year. The council said the future of the huts depended on what structural engineers found on further inspection. Waveney currently has about 400 people on its beach hut waiting list and people can expect to wait anywhere between five and 30 years for a hut to become free. Cabinet member Stephen Ardley said :"One of the things I have to say is just how understanding the leaseholders have been. There has been sadness rather than annoyance." The Lancashire wicketkeeper, 25, is second choice in the Test team behind Jonny Bairstow, and England are keen to give their players more exposure to white-ball cricket. "It's something we've spoken about," Bayliss, a former IPL coach, said. "If the opportunity arrives and he is not in the Test team and the IPL window is a possibility, I'd be all for it." England have been reluctant to release their players for the lucrative Twenty20 tournament because it clashes with the beginning of their international season. This year's tournament is scheduled to be played between 8 April and 29 May, meaning players would miss England's first two Tests of the summer, against Sri Lanka, if they were to commit to the full tournament. Buttler holds the record for England's fastest one-day international century - smashing an unbeaten 116 off 52 balls against Pakistan last November. However, he has a batting average of only 13 in the seven Tests he has played since the start of the Ashes against Australia in Cardiff last July. He was dropped during October's series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates. England leg-spinner Adil Rashid was recently encouraged to play in Australia's Big Bash in preparation for the World T20 in March, and is the joint second highest wicket-taker in the competition with 10. Pearson shares climbed 2.1% after it said it will sell the Financial Times Group to Japanese media firm Nikkei. The FTSE 100 index was 12.33 points lower at 6,655.01 at the close. Shares in Unilever rose 1.6% after the food and cosmetics giant reported a better-than-expected 2.9% rise in second quarter underlying sales. B&Q owner Kingfisher also climbed 2% after it reported a pick-up in sales growth over the past 10 weeks. Aberdeen Asset Management was the biggest loser on the FTSE 100, dropping 7.6% after investors withdrew £9.9bn from its funds in the second quarter. The company blamed the fall on worries over the stock market swings in China, and the increasing prospects of a US rate rise. Energy firm SSE fell 5% after saying its retail business was expected to report lower profits this year. Outside the FTSE 100, shares in Daily Mail and General Trust sank 8.7% after the publisher said full-year results would be at the lower end of expectations because of a "marked deterioration" in the UK print advertising market. Shares in baby goods retailer Mothercare fell 5.9% after it reported a slowdown in sales growth. It said trading in its international division - which has been its more profitable side in recent years - had been "more volatile", with consumer confidence hit in some markets. Meanwhile, like-for-like sales in the UK rose 1.3% in the second quarter, compared with 5.1% growth in the first. On the currency markets, the pound fell after UK retail sales figures for June came in weaker than expected. Sterling dropped 0.6% against the dollar to $1.5518 and fell 1% against the euro to €1.4144. The 29-year-old centreback will officially become a Timbers player when the transfer window opens next month, pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate. Mabiala has played in Turkey since 2012, first for Karabukspor before switching to Kayserispor in 2015. He also played in France's top flight with PSG and Nice. "We are pleased to acquire a player of Larrys' quality and experience, and we are excited that he has chosen to join the Portland Timbers," said Gavin Wilkinson, general manager and president of soccer for the Timbers. Caleb Porter, head coach of the Timbers, said: "Larrys Mabiala is a player that will bring a strong, physical presence to our team. "His experience and leadership will be key and we expect him to make an immediate impact once he is fully transitioned." Capped nine times by the Leopards since making his debut in 2008, Mabiala has been brought in as cover for Nigerian defender Gbenga Arokoyo who tore his Achilles in January. The Timbers are hopeful that Mabiala will help shore up a defence that has conceded 28 goals this season, the fourth worst in the MLS. Wilkinson said in a statement: "This has been a positional need since losing Gbenga Arokoyo to an injury and while it took longer than we would have liked, we are delighted to add a proven central defender with the right profile to help the team. "We are pleased to welcome Larrys to Portland and look forward to his contributions to the club." As French finance minister in 2008, she approved an award of €404m ($429m; £340m) to businessman Bernard Tapie for the disputed sale of a firm. Ms Lagarde, who always denied wrongdoing, was not present in court, having left Paris for Washington DC. The IMF board said it retained "full confidence" in her leadership. She said she would not appeal against the ruling: "There's a point in time when one has to just stop, turn the page and move on and continue to work with those who have put their trust in me." The French government also confirmed its confidence in Ms Lagarde, who was reappointed to a five-year term at the IMF in February. On Friday, she told the trial she had always acted in good faith and the suspicion she had lived under for the past five years had been an "ordeal". Cases at the Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR) may not be retried but can be appealed against on grounds of procedural errors. Ms Lagarde's lawyer said his team would consider appealing, Reuters reported. Ms Lagarde, 60, was tried on charges of "negligence by a person in position of public authority". Accused of allowing the misuse of public funds, rather than actual corruption, she could potentially have been sentenced to a year in prison and a fine of €15,000, but escaped a sentence and emerges from the trial without a criminal record. Explaining the verdict, which took many by surprise, Judge Martine Ract Madoux said: "The context of the global financial crisis in which Madame Lagarde found herself in should be taken into account." She also cited Ms Lagarde's good reputation and international standing as reasons. The CJR is composed mostly of politicians rather than judges, and handles allegations of crimes committed by cabinet ministers in office. CJR trials are rare but in a similar judgment in 1999, it found another French politician, Edmond Herve, guilty of negligence over a contaminated blood case but did not punish him. The earlier decision rested on a legal article (in French) which allows courts to deliver a guilty verdict but withhold actual punishment. A lawyer for Ms Lagarde, Christopher Baker, told the Associated Press: "The result of this last five years is nothing, which leaves us in kind of a complicated and strange situation." Ms Lagarde's case originates in the early 1990s, when Mr Tapie was a majority shareholder in sports goods company Adidas. After launching a political career and becoming a cabinet minister in Francois Mitterrand's Socialist government in 1992, Mr Tapie had to sell the company. In 1993, he sued Credit Lyonnais, a state-owned bank that handled the sale, alleging that the bank had defrauded him by deliberately undervaluing the firm. By 2007, the long-running case was referred to binding arbitration by Ms Lagarde, who at that time was finance minister under conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy. A three-member panel awarded the compensation a year later, causing a public outcry. Last year, after eight more years of legal wrangling, a French court ruled that Mr Tapie had not been entitled to compensation and should repay the €404m. In its verdict, the CJR said Ms Lagarde should have asked her aides and others for more information about the "shocking arbitration award" that included damages of €45m. 1993: Credit Lyonnais bank handles sale of Adidas to enable Mr Tapie to pursue ministerial career under then Socialist President Francois Mitterrand 1993-2007: Mr Tapie claims Credit Lyonnais undervalued Adidas and that he was cheated; lengthy court battle ensues 1994: Bernard Tapie's highly indebted group collapses and is wound up by Credit Lyonnais 2007: Mr Tapie supports conservative Nicolas Sarkozy in presidential election.

Thirty-four miners died when police opened fire at striking miners in August, leading to widespread shock. The police say they were acting in self-defence. The bloodshed occurred on 16 August, days after the deaths of 10 people, including two police officers who were hacked to death. Judges are holding an inquiry into all 44 of the deaths. The inquiry was presented with photographs showing the bodies of the miners after the shooting - the most deadly police action since the end of apartheid in 1994. In one photograph, a dead man is seen lying on rocky ground near the mine. A second picture, taken later the same day, is identical except a yellow-handled machete is now lying under the man's right hand. Leaders ignore Marikana lessons at their peril "The evidence clearly showed there is at least a strong prima facie case that there has been an attempt to defeat the ends of justice," lawyer George Bizos told the inquest, according to the Sapa news agency. Lawyer for the police Ismael Semenya told Sapa that the national police commissioner Riah Phiyega had begun an investigation into the allegations. He said police authorities had been aware of the photographs since they were handed to the inquiry two weeks ago. The BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg says the court also saw video footage which showed the dead bodies of miners with their hands handcuffed behind their backs. The shootings caused huge shock in South Africa and led to comparisons with apartheid-era policing. In the immediate aftermath, authorities sought to portray the miners, who were striking illegally, as responsible for the violence and bloodshed. Some 270 of the striking miners were arrested and charged with murder, though the charges were later dropped. The strike ended in September after workers agreed a 22% pay rise with the mine's owners, platinum giant Lonmin. Former Tottenham youngster Ryan Fredericks is the only absentee as he must complete a three-match ban. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino believes Jan Vertonghen could be fit enough to return after missing six games with ankle ligament damage. Harry Kane suffered a minor knee injury in Thursday's defeat at Gent and is unlikely to be involved. Guy Mowbray: "After successive defeats at Liverpool and in Belgium, perhaps being relatively close to home will sort out Spurs' away travails? "Since the end of September, they have won two of 14 away games - form that's put them out of the EFL Cup, the Champions League, Premier League contention (for now) and maybe the Europa League too. "Manager Mauricio Pochettino has remained calm throughout the 'bad period' so far, but another loss here might change the mood - and it's far from unthinkable against a Fulham team firing in goals galore just as they've dried up for Spurs. "There have been five goals in each of the last three games at Craven Cottage (all home wins). Another would do nicely!" Twitter: @Guymowbray Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic: "This competition is famous for its surprises. It's a fantastic chance for us, and isn't a moment for us to surrender. "We don't need any further motivation. I will choose the best XI for the game in front of us. It's one of the top Premier League teams and isn't a time to experiment." Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino: "We need to assess some players. Harry Kane got a knock in his knee and different players maybe. If we need to refresh the team we will do. "We will put out a team that aims to win and we will be ready again to compete." I think Tottenham might struggle to get the job done at Craven Cottage, but I think they will come through a replay back at White Hart Lane. Prediction: 1-1 Lawro's full predictions v ArsenalFanTV host Robbie and the Fulhamish podcast Head-to-head Fulham Tottenham Portmeirion festival-goers claim they have been waiting for up to four hours as tractors tow cars out of the water-logged field. One visitor, Catriona Mcgee, said there was "no organisation and no priority" over drivers trying to leave. A statement on the festival's website said: "We are doing everything in our power to minimise impact." Ms Mcgee said: "There's nobody here from the festival organising it, there's no system whatsoever. "It's a case of whoever flags the tractor down first gets to leave. It's terrible." The festival's online statement said: "Due to the adverse weather conditions over the weekend we are expecting some delays at the park and ride site. "We are doing everything in our power to minimise impact and would like to thank everyone for their patience, cooperation and for being part of yet another incredible Festival No.6." The singer announced the concerts in an Instagram video, where she sang football anthem Three Lions as well as the Match of the Day theme song. Dubbed "The Finale", the performances will see her play to more than 150,000 fans on 29 June and 1 July 2017. Tickets go on sale to members of her fan club on 30 November, followed by a general sale on 2 December. Wembley Stadium has not announced any other events planned for that week, raising the prospect that Adele may add further concerts if demand is high enough. Launching in Belfast on Leap Day, Adele's first world tour has incorporated 107 dates across Europe and North America, with more dates to come in Australia next year. Alongside flawless renditions of hits like Hello, Skyfall and Someone Like You, the star's unfiltered, uncensored on-stage chatter has often made headlines. In Belfast, she confessed to having "severe bowel movements" as opening night nerves kicked in. She announced her Glastonbury headline slot from the stage of London's O2, and allowed a couple in Toronto to get engaged during her show. "You got a Tiffany ring! Nice work, nice work," she told the bride-to-be. After Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie announced the end of their marriage in September, the star jokingly dedicated her show to them, calling it "the end of an era". And just last week, she had an encounter with a bat during a show in Mexico. "There's a bat there and it landed by your head!" she said, pointing at an audience member. "It landed right by your head! Welcome to Mexico! I'm happy to be here, but a bat? Jesus Christ!" Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The £5.7m scheme included the removal of signals to improve traffic flows. The council said it would make the contrast of tactile paving more pronounced and add signs encouraging motorists to give way to pedestrians. Joel Young, who is registered blind, said: "I wouldn't want to take that risk of trying to cross on my own without the support of someone else because there are no controlled crossing points. "Taking away the traffic lights and pedestrian-controlled crossing points has taken away my ability to cross independently." David Deriaz, vice chairman of Oxfordshire Transport and Access Group, said: "You need to watch out for cyclists, which I can do, and I am also concerned that crossing the narrow dual carriageways - there isn't enough space for pedestrians to wait in the central reservation." The county council said it had met Mr Young and Mr Deriaz to discuss their concerns. A spokeswoman said: "Any new design needs to be road-tested by users. In particular, innovative designs such as that at Frideswide are likely to require tweaks. "Following our meeting, we will be improving the contrast of the tactile paving by introducing a band around its perimeter in a contrasting colour to further highlight their presence. "The design of the square takes into account the needs of a range of people, including those with disabilities. "There are contrasting and ridged paving stones leading to the crossing points where the tactile paving is. "Clutter, such as seating and bins, is kept to a minimum and situated away from areas that could pose a problem for people with disabilities." The Shanghai Composite index closed up 0.2% at 3,022.86, however Hong Kong's Hang Seng index reversed earlier gains to close down 0.9% at 19,711.76. The Shanghai benchmark plunged another 5.3% on Monday after last week's sell-off rattled global markets. China's central bank set the yuan guidance rate steady for the third day to stem currency devaluation fears. Trading of the offshore yuan also strengthened on suspected intervention by the central bank. The Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (Hibor) - the rate at which banks charge each other to borrow yuan - surged to a record high for the second day on Tuesday. The record high means the onshore and offshore yuan rates were on par for the first time since late last year. The People's Bank of China (PBoC) is thought to be spending enormous amounts of money to buy up its currency - a move analysts say is an attempt to steady its own stock market. The PBoC weakened the yuan last week to boost exports, which raised questions about how concerned authorities were about the health of the Chinese economy. Financial markets in Hong Kong are legally separate from those in mainland China. Here in Hong Kong the Chinese currency, the yuan, trades freely. And for the past few months, its value has been noticeably weaker than the yuan that trades in China itself, reflecting views among investors about the weakness of the Chinese economy. But this week, the yuan has been in short supply, driving the cost of borrowing it to a record high in Hong Kong. Many believe China's central bank is behind the shortage. The goal, analysts say, is to send a strong message of stability to investors at home and abroad. Trading in the rest of the region remained cautious. "A lot of the long-term concerns around China have still not dissipated," said Angus Nicholson, market analyst at trading firm IG in a note. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 index finished down 2.7% to 17,218.96. The market was playing catch-up with the losses on global markets after being closed on Monday for a public holiday. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index closed down 0.1% to 4,925.10, while South Korea's Kospi index ended lower by 0.2% to 1,890.86, reversing earlier gains. Meanwhile, shares in Sharp fell 1.8% after local media reported that a government-backed fund had offered to invest 200bn yen ($1.7bn; £1.2bn) to help bail out the struggling electronics maker. Reports also said that a $3bn restructuring plan for the firm was likely to be finalised as early as this week. Oil prices hovering near 12-year lows, sent shares in resources-linked shares lower. Mining giants BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto shares were down another 3.5% and 3.3% respectively in Sydney. The man asked the woman for a cigarette light as she walked on a path at Wychall Reservoir, Birmingham. Moments later he "grabbed her from behind, dragged her to the floor and assaulted her", police said. The man who carried out the attack on 18 November was smartly dressed in blue trousers and black pointed shoes and spoke with a Scottish accent. He was also described as white and in his 30s or 40s. The woman also recalled that her attacker smelled strongly of aftershave. The assault took place on a path running between Popes Lane and Wychall Road at about 17:00 GMT. "This is a shocking attack on a woman by a stranger," said Det Con Fay Mason. "We need to identify her attacker as soon as possible." Anyone with information was urged to contact West Midlands Police.

"We must work a lot because we are a great team only on paper. [From] the first minute we did not have the right attitude," Conte said. Chelsea are eighth in the table, eight points behind leaders Manchester City. Conte pinpointed Chelsea's defence as the area in most urgent need of improvement, after a run of four games in which they have conceded at least two goals. "We have not got the balance and now is the moment to consider everything. It is incredible to concede three goals," he said. "We must find a solution." Conte refused to be drawn on whether his side were still title contenders, saying that they must rediscover their "continuity". "The most important thing is to work and not think about the situation," he added.

Here are five things you might not know about the team. Aparecida Schunck, 67, the mother of Mr Ecclestone's wife Fabiana Flosi, was abducted from her Sao Paulo home 10 days ago. A ransom of $36.5m (£28m) was demanded, but none was paid, according to Elisabete Sato of the Sao Paulo police. Ms Sato told the BBC there was a major police operation to free the victim. Two suspects were arrested and the victim was not injured. Ms Schunck was freed after being traced to a farmhouse near Sao Paulo after investigators monitored phone calls between kidnappers and her family, police say. The BBC understands that Mr Ecclestone had wanted to come to Brazil to help in the investigation and had even offered the services of a private security company to deal with the kidnappers. But Brazilian police told him that his presence in Brazil might be counterproductive and advised him and his wife to remain in the UK. Mr Ecclestone, 85, is one of the most powerful men in sport and is worth an estimated $3.1bn. Mr Ecclestone married Ms Flosi, 38, in 2012, three years after meeting her at the Brazilian Grand Prix. He divorced his former wife of 25 years, Croatian model Slavica Radic, to be with Ms Flosi and they live in the UK. The kidnappers had reportedly demanded that the ransom be paid in pounds sterling and divided into four bags of cash, Such a relatively peaceful ending to a kidnapping with no money being paid is a rare, successful outcome, the BBC's Wyre Davies in Brazil reports. Wealthy families often pay all or part of a ransom to free captives, fearing that if they do not the situation could end in tragedy, our correspondent adds. Kidnapping was common in Brazil a decade ago, with Sao Paulo seeing an abduction every 27 hours in 2002, but declined after police formed a special anti-kidnap division and cracked down. More common now is the practice of "express kidnapping" where people are sometimes abducted off the street and driven to a series of ATMs until their accounts are emptied. The country, which is hosting the Olympic Games this month, is experiencing its worst economic crisis for decades.

The grand finale saw the Games organiser Prince Harry asking the crowd to create a massive Mexican wave. The Wirral-born cyclist says plans have already been trialled in Paris, where it is claimed the number of collisions has been cut. He says it often safer for cyclists to skip red lights, and a rule change may even encourage more people to cycle. However, road safety charity Brake said the idea was "dangerous and foolish". Mr Boardman, who won a gold medal at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, said: "Safety-wise, it's not an issue. "The problem is people get really upset when someone is seen to be queue-jumping." He added: "It's about people saying 'that's not fair, that's not right, that's not the rules'." Mr Boardman, 46, called for the rule change to be introduced in stages, with signs put up to make other road users aware. Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside, he added: "If we change the rules and say it's ok for cyclists to do this, it makes it more appealing for people to ride bikes, because it's safer and quicker." Gary Rae, campaigns manager for Brake, dismissed the idea and said the charity is calling on the government to invest in more cycle lanes. He said: "A cyclist, like any other road user, should always observe the highway code. Taking the decision to ignore a red light is both dangerous and foolish. "To help reduce deaths and injuries, we believe that the government needs to commit at least £10 per head nationally for cycling infrastructure, to create segregated cycle lanes." Ilir Hasa, 24, of Denmark Villas, Hove, and Saimir Nezaj, 24, of no fixed abode, bundled their victim into a car in Prince's Terrace on 12 April. Their victim Ardi Murataj, 20, was found safe and well. A third man, Gazmend Mula, 29, of Temple Street, Brighton, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to kidnap at the trial in Lewes Crown Court. Murataj - who was also known by the name of Tony Kurt - pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to supply. In April Sussex Police appealed for information as to who Murataj was after CCTV showed him being kidnapped. He eventually contacted police himself after seeing the appeals, which were in both English and Albanian. Another man, Redon Sadria, 19, of New Steine, Brighton, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply drugs. A date for sentencing has not been set. Travel-related companies fell after news of the terror attacks in Brussels. IAG - the airline group that includes British Airways - fell 1.5%. Hotels group Intercontinental was 1.6% lower. TUI - whose brands include Thomson and First Choice - dropped 2.8% while Thomas Cook was down more than 4%. The FTSE 100 closed 8 points higher at 6,192. "Events in Brussels have dominated headlines this morning, with immediate reaction in financial markets a consequence of the news," said Chris Beauchamp, senior market analyst at IG. Stock markets across Europe recovered from early losses. In Germany the Dax index closed 0.4% higher. France's Cac 40 closed little changed. The price of gold - an asset traditionally seen as a haven in times of uncertainty - rose 0.6% to $1,252 an ounce. Yields on benchmark German government bonds dropped to a two-week low, as the price of the bonds - which are also seen as safe assets - rose. In London, shares in BT Group fell almost 1% after telecoms regulator Ofcom told the company to install high-speed cables to businesses much faster and reduce the prices it charges for them. In the FTSE 250, shares in Sports Direct fell more than 10% after its founder and deputy chairman, Mike Ashley, told the Times that profits at the retailer would be lower this year. He told the paper: "We are in trouble, we are not trading very well. We can't make the same profit we made last year." On the currency markets, the pound fell a cent and a half against the dollar to $1.4120. Against the euro, it fell a euro cent to €1.2676. Two helicopters, two lifeboats and six ships searched an area 27 miles south west of Newhaven, East Sussex. The UK coastguard got a distress call at 18:30 BST on Friday that a member of crew had fallen overboard. The man was not found. The coastguard said the search for him would resume if there were any new sightings. Helicopters from Lydd and Lee-on-Solent and RNLI boats from Newhaven and Shoreham were sent to the scene and several merchant vessels joined the search. Acting dean, the Reverend Canon Nigel Hand, said it was taken to put increased security arrangements in place. The building will reopen on Thursday, he said. Some services took place publicly in Cathedral Square while the building was closed. See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here Nobody takes a decision to close a cathedral lightly. For centuries they have been places where people have sought sanctuary. The modern expression of that is often seen in the numbers visiting them to light candles and say prayers at times of national grief. Birmingham has done its best to recognise the public need while still closing its doors. It has continued with acts of worship in its grounds - aided by good weather. The dean and others will have been uncomfortable at having to close. Birmingham Cathedral does appear to have gone further than any other in the country. Closing its doors outstripped the response at York Minster where security has been tightened. Other cathedrals have seen a higher police presence too. However, it was doing what it's been told it should by security advisers outside the church. They were mindful that to do the opposite of the agreed policy would leave them open to severe criticism especially if something happened. Better to take time to consult and reflect. Having done that they can now feel confident to adopt a change of direction and reopen. The decision was made following Monday's Manchester Arena attack, which left 22 dead and 64 injured. Read more: Manchester attack The Rev Canon Hand said: "We have relationships with counter terrorism, who have encouraged us to have a rapid response policy in place should the terrorist rating go to critical. "The closure of the cathedral afforded us the time to make the necessary decisions and arrangements to ensure that we will open the cathedral tomorrow, with increased security presence in place." Elsewhere, York Minster said it had increased security measures following the terror attack with extra high visibility patrols by its cathedral constables around the cathedral and its precinct. It also introduced random bag searches at its visitor entrances, while large bags and suitcases are no longer allowed inside the cathedral. Saudi Arabia protested after the UN released a report saying the coalition was responsible for 60% of the child deaths and injuries in Yemen last year. It said the casualty figures were "wildly exaggerated". The UN said it would now carry out a joint review with the coalition of the cases listed in the report. But the Saudi envoy to the UN insisted the removal of the coalition from the blacklist was "final". The human rights campaign group Human Rights Watch sharply criticised the move, saying the UN chief's office had "hit a new low". The coalition - which comprises Saudi Arabia and nine other Arab and Muslim nations, supported by the US and UK - began fighting the Houthis in March 2015, two months after the rebels drove Yemen's government from power and took full control of the capital, Sanaa. Since then, at least 6,200 people - about half of them civilians - have been killed and 2.8 million others have been displaced, according to the UN. Last Thursday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon issued his annual report on children and armed conflict, which described the situation in Yemen as "particularly worrisome". A year that has set Yemen back decades No end in sight to war in Yemen Practising medicine under fire in Yemen A young girl and a city struggling for life It said there was a five-fold increase in the number of children recruited and used by armed groups in 2015 and that six times more children were killed and maimed compared with 2014. The report attributed 510 child deaths and 667 injuries last year to the Saudi-led coalition, most of them caused by air strikes, and 142 child deaths and 247 injuries to the Houthis. In 324 incidents, the responsible party could not be identified. Just under half of the 101 verified attacks on schools and hospitals were attributed to the coalition. On Monday, Saudi Arabia's permanent representative to the UN, Abdullah al-Mouallimi, complained to Mr Ban about the report. "If there are any casualties from the coalition side, they would be far, far lower," he said, adding that it used "the most up-to-date equipment in precision targeting". Later, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Mr Ban had accepted a Saudi proposal to remove the coalition from the blacklist pending a joint review of the cases and numbers cited in his report. The secretary general had invited the coalition to send a team to New York as soon as possible for detailed discussions before the UN Security Council examines the report in August, he added. However, Mr Mouallimi described the removal of the coalition from the blacklist as a "vindication", and said the decision was "irreversible and unconditional". "We were wrongly placed on the list," he added. "We know that this removal is final." Human Rights Watch accused UN officials of "political manipulation". "After giving a similar pass to Israel last year, the UN secretary general's office has hit a new low by capitulating to Saudi Arabia's brazen pressure and taking the country off its just published list of shame," said the US-based group's deputy director for global advocacy, Philippe Bolopion. "Yemen's children deserve better." The UN left Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas off the blacklist in the 2014 report, after they had been included in an earlier draft. The 27-year-old Germany defender was booed and whistled by sections of the crowd during a 5-1 home win over Wolfsburg on Saturday. Hummels started his career at Bayern before joining Dortmund in 2009. "Nothing has been decided yet," Hummels told supporters waiting outside the club's training ground on Wednesday. "This dirty statement created a different impression." Should Hummels join Bayern he will become the third player to make such a move in the past three years after midfielder Mario Gotze in 2013 and striker Robert Lewandowski in 2014. The body of Andrew Bow, 36, was discovered on 23 March 2016. The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) found officers were not sent to his home on four occasions when concerns were raised. Police Scotland apologised to Mr Bow's family for "shortcomings" over the events surrounding his death. Commissioner Kate Frame said it was not possible to say whether he would have been found alive if there had been an earlier response. The investigation centred on Police Scotland's handling of telephone calls about Mr Bow's welfare in the week before his body was found. The control room at Bilston Glen had previously been criticised in 2015 following the deaths of John Yuill and Lamara Bell, who lay undiscovered for days after a crash on the M9 near Stirling despite a sighting of their wrecked car being reported to the control room. Mr Bow, who had Asperger's Syndrome, was last seen by police officers on 12 March last year when they found him in a confused and paranoid state. The Pirc report said staff at the City of Edinburgh Council had sent a report to Police Scotland on 16 March asking for checks to be carried out following reports that the windows in his flat were broken. However, no action was taken. Five days later, a local shopkeeper called 999 to report the broken windows and offered to help police find the house, due to the confusing house numbering system in the area. However, area control room (ACR) staff at Bilston Glen did not send officers to the scene as they did not consider that any police resources were available at that time. The shopkeeper contacted the control room again the following morning, and again staff decided that no police resources were available to be dispatched. Later that same day another neighbour contacted the control room to raise concerns for Mr Bow's welfare. Pirc said: "At this point, ACR staff were aware of the two previous un-actioned 999 calls and of concerns being expressed for the occupant to the effect that he may have 'hurt himself' or 'committed suicide'. "Again, no officers were sent to Mr Bow's flat at that time." On 23 March, a police sergeant in the Edinburgh area read details of the incident on the police system and decided to send officers to Mr Bow's flat. They forced entry and found Mr Bow dead inside. The post-mortem examination was unable to provide an estimated time, date or cause of death. In her findings, the commissioner said: "It is particularly concerning that despite several members of the public contacting the police to express their concerns, Police Scotland appear to have taken no action in relation to the first approach and thereafter in response to the subsequent calls, failed to dispatch officers who were available, timeously, to investigate. "Whilst there may have been confusion in identifying the correct address from the original report, the person who contacted the police on the second occasion offered to remain at his premises and point out the flat to officers. "Had that opportunity been taken, the police would have been able to identify the deceased's flat and investigate matters sooner." She added: "Since it has not been possible to establish precisely when Andrew Bow died, it is not certain whether an earlier response by police could have led to him being found alive and his life saved. "I have made a number of recommendations to the chief constable to ensure the handling of calls by staff at Bilston Glen are managed better, within the required timescales and that all available officers are sent to priority calls, especially those of concern about a vulnerable person." Police Scotland Assistant Chief Constable Nelson Telfer said the force had made "significant changes and improvements" since the incident. "Even after the passage of time, our thoughts remain with Andrew's family and friends," Mr Telfer said. "We do, however, note the recommendations within the Pirc report and acknowledge the fact that there were some shortcomings in relation to the events that led to Andrew's death in March 2016. We would like to offer our sincere apologies to Andrew's family and friends for that. "We must learn from these findings to further improve our call handling and management and deployment of local policing resources." Match ends, Kilmarnock 0, Aberdeen 4.

The striker's first came from a controversial penalty when referee Willie Collum ruled goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald had impeded James Maddison. Kilmarnock were found wanting from second-half corners as Andrew Considine and Ash Taylor added powerful strikes. Rooney then passed up two great opportunities before squeezing a shot past MacDonald on 72 minutes. The comfortable victory lifts Aberdeen back up to second in the Scottish Premiership stay second bottom. Kilmarnock have tried to improve their home form by making the most of their pitch. They narrowed it some time ago. Today they decided against watering it, to slow the game down. There were also black pellets all over the artificial surface. But there was nothing sluggish about Aberdeen, with Niall McGinn stinging the palms of MacDonald with an early free-kick and and the home keeper did well to keep out a curling effort from the same player on 20 minutes having made a good block to deny Jonny Hayes. There was some nice one touch football from Aberdeen as they kept up a fierce tempo. And once they got ahead they had all of the momentum. At times in the second-half they were rampant. There were a few flurries of activity in the final third from Kilmarnock but they were sporadic and ultimately fruitless. The opening goal arrived on 25 minutes and it was a tough call for Collum since the penalty incident happened at pace. But did MacDonald really foul Maddison? Initially, it seemed that the goalkeeper had been fouled by the Dons playmaker, losing the ball from his grasp then tugging Maddison down. The home fans expected a free-kick and were horrified as it dawned on them that a penalty was coming. MacDonald was booked and then sent the wrong way as Rooney swept in the spot kick. The home supporters were incensed and further angered when Collum waved away a penalty claim involving Kris Boyd. The Kilmarnock fans had planned a protest against former chairman and current company secretary Michael Johnston in the 18th and 69th minutes - 1869 the year the club was formed. Such is Johnston's lack of popularity that the first disgruntled chants arrived after just six minutes when it became clear the object of their ire was absent. Despite all the acrimony, there was a generally vibrant atmosphere among the home ranks but this swiftly changed to gloom as the game went against them. Considine cracked in a smart finish when the ball dropped at his his feet and Taylor was unchallenged at the back post for the Dons' third goal. With Killie in disarray, Rooney scuffed a shot wide with just MacDonald to beat and crashed a shot against the crossbar but he made it third time lucky when Hayes released him and his shot squirmed past the keeper to complete the rout. Kilmarnock manager Lee Clark: "What's the point in having a go [about the penalty]? I will only lose a few quid. It was a strange one, that's all I'll say. I've seen the footage back as well. A strange decision to say the least. "First goals are always important. Whether it's changed the game, in the fashion that it ended up, I don't particularly believe so. "Second half we never performed at all. I take full responsibility for that. It's been men against boys in the last two games "It became too easy in the end for Aberdeen. We are very, very disappointed." Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes: "The pitch being a bit narrower, shorter and drier, you have to fight and work hard to get space to operate. Kilmarnock are a very competitive team, they had only lost to Celtic in the past four games, so we knew we had to get on top of them. "Your focus will probably be on some of the movement and brilliant goals, but I thought our tenacity to get after them from the first whistle, play the conditions and get them turned and work hard to get space to get Maddison and McGinn on the ball, overlapping full-backs, Shinnie and McLean up on the game, centre-halves dominating... I thought it was almost a perfect performance." Many people, including vegans, Hindus and Sikhs, got angry about tallow being used to make bank notes because it comes from animal fat, and they do not agree with this because of their beliefs. But many people don't agree with palm oil being used in products like this either. So what is it and why is it causing a debate? Palm oil is made from the fruits of trees called African oil palms. The trees originally came from west and south-west Africa, but they were introduced to Indonesia and Malaysia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They grow naturally in tropical rainforest areas, but they also are being planted and farmed especially to produce more palm oil. The trees may be produced on small-scale family farms called smallholders or large plantations. Dr Emma Keller from the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), a charity that works to protect the planet, told Newsround: "Palm oil is in close to half of the products we buy in the supermarkets - in everything from shampoos and soaps, to pizzas and biscuits. It's everywhere." It is a type of vegetable oil, like sunflower or rapeseed oil. Some people say palm oil is the best type of vegetable oil to produce. Emma explained: "Palm oil is a super-efficient crop, meaning that we can produce a lot more palm oil per area of land compared to other oil crops like soybean oil or coconut oil." It is also reported that oil palm trees do not require as many pesticides or fertilisers to be used when growing them. Finally, the palm oil industry offers jobs to people living in poverty in developing countries. "Palm oil has provided jobs for millions of small farmers, helping them to get out of poverty, earn more money and have a better life for them and their families," explained Emma. Environmentalists argue that this farming of oil palm trees is extremely bad for the planet. Deforestation is when forests and trees are cut down to clear the land to use it for something else Palm oil production is said to have been responsible for about 8% of the world's deforestation between 1990 and 2008. This is because forests are burned to clear areas where people can grow oil palms - even if it's illegal. Burning forests like this destroys the places where plants and wildlife live, meaning the area has less biodiversity. Species like orangutans, rhinos, elephants and tigers can be affected. A report for the Bank of England about palm oil explains: "Forest fires, started to clear land for oil palm, release high levels of carbon dioxide and black carbon (soot) into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change." Burning forests like this was blamed for extreme air pollution levels in Singapore in June 2013, when a thick haze covered the city. Children had to stay inside to protect themselves from the unclean air. Amnesty International also reported at the end of 2016 that young children were being used in Indonesia to work in the production of palm oil - although the BBC has not been able to check what the report said. Some also say that eating palm oil is not good for health, as it is high in saturated fat. It is believed that the amount of palm oil that people around the world will consume is expected to go up over the coming years. Work is being done to stop palm oil production from damaging the planet. A group called the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) was formed in 2003 to get those in the palm oil industry to work together to do this. Members of the group, which the WWF help to set up, are given strict guidelines about how they produce their palm oil. Some manufacturers have said they will only buy palm oil that they know has been produced in a sustainable way - meaning in a way that won't damage the planet. But many say it is difficult to know for sure whether or not farmers have actually followed the rules. There has also been a change to make people who are buying things in the supermarket more aware of palm oil. In the past, labels on food didn't used to have to say if palm oil had been used as an ingredient. They only had to say 'contains vegetable oil'. But at the end of 2014, EU labelling laws changed so that products now have to state specifically if they contain palm oil. Campaigners say that it is difficult when looking at a palm oil product on a shelf to know if the oil has been produced in a way that is damaging the planet or not. So should we just avoid palm oil completely? The expert Emma does not think that the solution is to do this. She thinks we should still produce and use palm oil - as it is more efficient to produce than alternative vegetable oils - but do more to make sure that the palm oil being bought and sold is sustainable and certified. "You are really important in helping us get to a world where sustainable palm oil is the norm and that it is unacceptable to produce palm oil in a way that damages the environment, and the health of the people working and living in palm oil producing areas," she said. Members of the European Parliament have just called for an EU scheme to make sure unsustainable palm oil is not being bought. We will have to wait to see what happens. He will join team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton when the new series returns on 2 October. Clarkson pulled out of hosting the BBC One panel show in April, after being sacked from Top Gear after a "fracas". He is set to front a new motoring show for Amazon next year, alongside co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond. Clarkson's appearance on Have I Got News For You will be his first on the BBC since his departure from Top Gear. He was suspended in March after assaulting producer Oisin Tymon, and the BBC later confirmed his contract would not be renewed. At the time, BBC director-general Tony Hall said "a line has been crossed" and that "there cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another". Clarkson signed up to present Have I Got News For You on Friday, and his appearance will mark the start of the show's 50th series. When he pulled out of hosting in April, production company Hat Trick had suggested the presenter would appear on the show soon. A statement said: "On reflection, Jeremy Clarkson has decided not to host Have I Got News For You. We fully expect him to resume his hosting duties later in the year." Pointless assistant host Richard Osman will be one of the two guests joining Clarkson for the opening episode. Two Uber drivers claimed the company was acting unlawfully by not paying holiday or sick pay. It has been described as a test case not only for the business model of ride-hailing firm Uber, but for the whole so-called "gig economy". Uber insists its drivers are self-employed and says it will appeal. The firm has more than 40,000 licensed drivers in 20 UK towns and cities making more than a million trips per week. Drivers and campaigners hail Uber ruling The outcome of this case may not only affect its business model, but could also change the relationship between many firms and their self-employed workers. Two drivers, James Farrar and Yaseen Aslam, argued that they were employed by Uber but didn't have basic workers' rights. The cases were brought by the GMB union. The drivers said they should be entitled to holiday pay, and that they should be paid the National Minimum Wage. For example, Mr Farrar (who no longer drives for Uber) said his net earnings in August 2015 after expenses were £5.03 an hour. The drivers also argued that their actions were controlled by Uber, so in effect they were employed by the firm. Once a driver accepts a job he or she is not notified of the destination, and faces punitive measures if they don't perform well enough, for example, following a customer complaint. The two drivers claimed sums of money were frequently deducted from their pay, often without advance warning. A further 17 claims have been brought against Uber, according to law firm Leigh Day. Uber argued that there are more than 30,000 drivers in London and 40,000 in the UK using its app to find customers. Many do so, it says, because it allows them to work flexibly. The firm says drivers, whom it calls "partners", can "become their own boss". It also doesn't set shifts or minimum hours, or make drivers work exclusively for Uber. Uber said that in September, drivers for UberX (the most basic private car service that Uber offers) made £16 an hour on average, after Uber's service fee, and that only 25% logged in for 40 or more hours per week. Alex Bearman, partner at law firm Russell-Cooke, says the outcome is likely to have "significant implications for other operators in the fast growing 'gig economy'". Similar cases are currently being brought against the courier firms CitySprint, eCourier and Excel as well as taxi firm Addison Lee. But Martin Warren, partner and head of labour relations at Eversheds, says the fact the Uber claimants have won their case does not mean that cases brought by others will have the same success. "Each case will depend on the specific terms and arrangements between the individual and the company they work for." Uber is appealing against the decision, but it may have to give drivers back-pay for unpaid benefits in the UK, and pick up the future cost of those benefits. "We may not see a final determination for some time to come," says Mr Bearman. They may have to, as Uber may pass on any higher labour costs to its customers. "Consumers will see prices rise and a less stable, predictable service," believes Sam Dumitriu, head of projects at the Adam Smith Institute. Luke Bowery, a partner at Burges Salmon agrees. "[Higher fares will] disrupt Uber's ability to offer a flexible and responsive service to its customers - potentially hitting at the heart of service delivery, as well as its profit margins," he says. The ruling applies only in the UK. Different countries have different employment laws. However, the tribunal's decision "may have an impact on how Uber operates in other countries and we have already seen similar significant claims from drivers being settled in the US," Mr Bowery says. The trend of firms taking on self-employed workers who engage with work through apps may have to change radically, says Mr Bowery. Faced with similar employment tribunal claims, these firms may either have to change their business models, or pass the increased costs onto customers. "When operated in the right way, many individuals, including some Uber drivers, highly value the benefits the gig economy can bring," adds Mr Bowery. "These benefits do need to be balanced, however, against potential exploitation and we are unlikely to have seen the last of claims of this type as the gig economy continues to grow."

Nupur Saraswat, a spoken word artist, told the BBC she was in the city for a performance but was told by her hotel that "single ladies" were not allowed. The hotel has argued that the area it is in "is not [the] right place" for single women. Under the hotel policies, "locals and unmarried couples" are also forbidden. Ms Saraswat, who lives in Singapore, wrote about Friday morning's incident at Hotel Deccan Erragadda on her Facebook page. She told BBC Tamil's Vishnu Priya that she had travelled extensively across India and to several other countries and had never been refused a room on the basis that she was a "single lady". She said that Goibibo, the third party website she had booked the room through, initially said it could not help. It refunded Ms Saraswat and gave her a complementary room at another hotel after her story went viral. In a subsequent blog post, it said it had taken her complaint "very seriously". "We have de-listed the Hotel Deccan Erragadda from our platform pending [an] investigation", it said. Its statement also included a response from the hotel, which said the hotel was "not against... single women staying in our hotel", but that the hotel was not in the right area for single women. Ms Saraswat says that when the room was booked, her organiser had not checked the policy, which clearly stated that locals, unmarried couples and single women are not allowed to stay. But she said that the policy itself was unacceptable. "Of course, there are also those who have tried to silence this by asking 'why are you making a fuss if it's clearly stated in the policy?' Well I am making a fuss because I am not ready to settle. I am not ready to live in the fear of my safety anymore. I am not ready to have an entire system push me around until I 'find a man to travel with'. I AM NOT READY TO BE CHAPERONED," she wrote. The victim died at the scene after a collision between the van he was driving and a car on the A96 near Pitcaple, Inverurie. The incident took place at about 15:30. The other injured male driver involved in the crash was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Police have appealed for witnesses and the road has been closed. The incident involving a white Honda Jazz and a red Renault Master van happened about half a mile from Pitcaple. Sgt Rob Warnock, of Police Scotland, said: "Our thoughts are with the families at this sad time. "The road is likely to remain closed for some time and we would urge people to seek alternative routes." Arthur made his Blues debut in a Championship defeat by Wolves as a 17-year-old in April 2013. The 21-year-old made a total of 16 appearances for Birmingham, but has not featured since August 2015. He joined League Two side Cheltenham on a four-month loan earlier this season, making seven appearances. Republic of Ireland Under-21 international Noe Baba, 20, and goalkeeper Josh Tibbetts, 18, will also be allowed to leave St Andrew's at the end of the season. However, while civilian casualties in Afghanistan have reached their highest-recorded level, attacks on tourists are rare. The fact Afghanistan attracts tourists at all may come as a surprise to some, but a number of companies offer tours to the country where there were more than 11,000 casualties of violence last year. The UN World Tourism Organization does not receive statistics from the Afghan government on tourist numbers, so it is difficult to track how many visitors are making it there. But Afghanistan does send the UNWTO data on tourist expenditure. Those figures show a big drop in the amount of money spent by tourists in the country - from $168m (£128m) in 2012 to $91m in 2014, the most recent year's statistics available. Muqim Jamshady is chief executive of Kabul-based Afghan Logistics And Tours, which helps organise trips and treks for visitors in safe parts of the country. He told the BBC that up to 300 tourists used their services in 2003, but the number had now dropped to about 100 a year. The fall in visitors has come as deaths from violence in Afghanistan have increased. The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advises against travelling to most parts of Afghanistan, adding that "there is a high threat from terrorism and specific methods of attack are evolving and increasing in sophistication". The US State Department goes even further, warning there is a risk of "kidnapping, hostage taking, military combat operations, landmines, banditry, armed rivalry between political and tribal groups, militant attacks, direct and indirect fire, suicide bombings, and insurgent attacks, including attacks using vehicle-borne or other improvised explosive devices". Huge areas of Afghanistan are no-go areas for visitors, said Bilal Sarwary, an Afghan journalist who does his part to promote the 'Afghanistan You Never See' on his Facebook page, but that is not to say everywhere is inaccessible. "The State Department, the FCO, all advise it is not safe. It is not Sri Lanka or the Maldives, but it's not Libya or Syria either," he said. "There are places in Afghanistan that are totally safe for tourists. If you fly into Kabul, then fly to Bamiyan or Herat, that's the safe way. "What attracts people to Afghanistan is its diverse landscape - from mountains to deserts to lakes." In pictures: Bamiyan valley If you are visiting Afghanistan, Bilal's advice is to carry out plenty of research and avoid roads by flying to your destination. "Most people I know who've been as tourists had a friend or family member who was an aid worker," he said. "It's not totally impossible." The attack on the tourists, who were travelling with security forces, happened on a road between Ghor and Herat in the west of the country. While Herat itself is seen as relatively safe, Bilal expressed his surprise that tourists were travelling on that particular road. The BBC's chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet, who has been travelling to Afghanistan since 1988, said: "There are areas unaffected by the Taliban where you can enjoy Afghans' hospitality, kindness and gentleness, see beautiful sights and stay in decent hotels." The risk, Lyse said, was not necessarily being in any one place, but in travelling between safe places. "You can't say that any whole country is unsafe," she said. "But that's where local knowledge comes in. "Even if you are going on a trip to Italy, you get the best advice - well you have to ask the same questions in Afghanistan, but you need to ask them in a much more comprehensive way to make sure the sources of your knowledge are good." Putting Bamiyan back on the map The attack comes at a time when Herat, a city once occupied by Alexander the Great in 330BC, is seeking to capitalise on its relatively safe image to bring in more tourists. "It's a country that's so cut off from the rest of the world when it comes to trade and tourism," Lyse said. "So for those Afghans who want to see a better future, it's really depressing and demoralising, because every time they take a step up, they have to take a step back down." Muqim Jamshady, of Afghan Logistics and Tours, is one of those taking another step back. "I'm really sad," he said. "And angry." Tuilagi hurt his chest in Saturday's win over Newcastle but the club confirmed on Thursday that the player does not need surgery. Director of rugby Richard Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester: "It will certainly be weeks, potentially leading to months, rather than days." The 22-year-old is now a major doubt for all of England's autumn Tests. Australia, Argentina and New Zealand all visit Twickenham in November "Until we know exactly what the damage is, it is hard to tell how long it will be," Cockerill added. England have already lost Brad Barritt, Tuilagi's regular centre partner over the last year. The Saracens player has been ruled out after foot surgery. Tuilagi has represented England on 21 occasions since making his debut against Wales in August 2011 and featured in the final Lions Test against Australia this summer as a replacement. Earlier this month, he apologised for playing a prank on Prime Minister David Cameron when the Lions squad visited Downing Street. Tuilagi, who signed a new long-term contract with Premiership champions Leicester in May, made a 'bunny' gesture with two fingers behind Cameron's head while posing for a photograph. Nair, playing in his third Test, made 303 not out to become only the second India batsman to make a triple century. His effort on day four of the fifth Test in Chennai left England needing to bat out the final day to avoid defeat. The tourists, who have already lost the series, survived five overs to close on 12-0, still 270 behind. Their task on Tuesday should be helped by a surface that remains docile, but India's skilful spinners are likely to extract much greater assistance than England's. Not only do England face an examination of their technique, but also their mentality, determination and attitude on the final day of a gruelling tour. "They've been flogged around, but that's not the most difficult pitch to bat on," said former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott on Test Match Special. "There's just scoreboard pressure, and the pressure of their minds. "The key will be the first session. Every time a new batsman comes in, India will pressurise them - and it's really only your own fault if you get out." Nair, resuming on 71 of India's 391-4 overnight, initially continued with the uncertainty he showed on the fourth evening, edging Stuart Broad over the slips and struggling against the pace and bounce of Ben Stokes. But after he reached his maiden century, the 25-year-old right-hander began to sparkle. Whereas the bulk of his first hundred runs were scored square of the wicket, Nair expanded into cover drives, sweeps of all kinds and audacious ramps over wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow. Dropped at slip by captain Alastair Cook on 34 off Jake Ball on Sunday, he was given an almost identical life by Joe Root off the same bowler on 217 and survived a stumping chance to Bairstow off Moeen Ali on 246. He shared partnerships of 181 with Ravichandran Ashwin (67) and 138 with Ravindra Jadeja (51), the latter coming in a raucous late-evening charge towards his 300. Three of his four sixes came after he passed 200, the third century was made in only 75 balls and completed with a cut for four off Adil Rashid that was celebrated by a delirious Chennai crowd. India triple centurion Karun Nair: "That's the best knock of my life. I had to play differently depending on who was batting. They kept encouraging me and I want to thank them. "The first hundred is always important and when I got that I didn't feel any pressure and just played my shots. "The pitch is getting worse and for a new batsmen it won't be easy to play. Hopefully it will turn more tomorrow." England's efforts never dropped over 191 overs, but their attack was eventually rendered ineffective by an India batting performance that put the tourists' first-innings score of 477 into context. Broad and Stokes probed in the morning, while debutant Liam Dawson, theoretically England's third spinner, bowed tidily throughout the first session and trapped Murali Vijay lbw for his first Test wicket. However, India upped the ante after lunch, with England's first-choice spinners Moeen and Rashid unable to offer control - they bowled two maidens in 71 overs between them - and paceman Ball occasionally losing his length. England can point to some misfortune - Nair could have been given out caught behind to a reverse-sweep off Rashid on 154 and Keaton Jennings could have had Ashwin lbw with the first ball he bowled, but no reviews remained. By the end, though, it was carnage. Fielders were scattered, wickets were hoped for rather than expected and the bowlers' only purpose was to serve deliveries that Nair hammered to the boundary. Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott India just flogged England to death in the evening session. They couldn't stem the flow in any way, that's the sad part. They had six men on the boundary and they still smashed boundaries, it was pure mayhem. The best two bowlers for me were Jennings, who came on as an occasional bowler, and Ben Stokes. They gave it their best shot. You've got to say well played India, they scored even more runs than people expected. Cook's dropped catch yesterday was difficult, it flashed and went high and wide. Root's today, when Karun Nair already had 217, was a much easier chance. It was the afternoon session when it started to get away from England. Though England's suffering in the field was prolonged, the extra time India allowed for Nair to reach his milestone shortened the amount of overs the tourists had to survive with the bat. Openers Cook and Jennings were given a taste of what is to come on Tuesday - spinners Ashwin and Jadeja bowled all but one of the overs - but came through without alarm. England's final-day quest for a draw will not be witnessed by coach Trevor Bayliss, who is travelling to his home country of Australia for treatment on a hernia. In his absence, they will look to avoid losing four Tests in a series against India for the first time. England coach Trevor Bayliss: "India played extremely well and you put it down to one of those days and just hope it doesn't happen too often. Alastair tried everything but you have to bowl to the fields and once India got in it was a fantastic innings. "It's a difficult day for everyone in the changing room but they will come out tomorrow and it will be a test of their character. "I'm sure we made some mistakes, we've played some decent cricket but not as good as the India team, who haven't let us into the game." BBC Sport and BBC Radio 5 live has chosen some of the best cricketing moments of 2016 and are asking you rank your top 10. The results will be revealed on Tuesday's Tuffers and Vaughan Cricket Show (21:00 GMT, BBC Radio 5 live and online). What are your top 10 cricketing moments from this year? Jonathan Lewis, 44, of Long Walk, Epsom was arrested after police pursued a black Peugeot travelling at up to 90mph on Monday. Guildford magistrates remanded him in custody to appear at Guildford Crown Court on 12 May. The car was chased between junctions six and 10 in Surrey before being halted on the A3 at 10:15 BST. Two southbound and one northbound carriageway were shut for 40 minutes. Mold Crown Court heard some of the images Ben McCarthy, 40, from Wrexham, had were in the most serious category. He admitted six making indecent images charges and seven possession charges between February 2014 and January 2015. McCarthy also admitted two counts of voyeurism dating back to 2011. Judge Rhys Rowlands remanded him in custody to be sentenced in November. "Don't hold out any hopes of a non-custodial sentence for this sort of behaviour," the judge told him. Kyrgios, 20, said on Tuesday he has learned to keep his mouth shut after he was fined and given a suspended ban for remarks he made about opponent Stan Wawrinka's girlfriend last month. Warne, 45, told Kyrgios "respect is more important than being liked". He added: "You're testing our patience mate, show us what you're made of." Kyrgios was given a suspended 28-day ban and fined AU$35,000 ($25,000; £16,200) by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), to be imposed should he transgress again. Warne, Australia's record wicket-taker, wrote: "Please don't waste your talent, everyone in the world, especially Australians wants to respect you. "No shame in losing, but show us you will never give up, that you will give it everything to be the best you can be." Warne's letter received a mixed response, with some users online agreeing with him while others accused the cricketer of seeking attention. Kyrgios's punishment only applies to ATP events, so was not in effect at this week's US Open. The world number 37 was well received by the crowd at Flushing Meadows as he was beaten by Britain's Andy Murray in the first round. He said he understood "100%" why some spectators had jeered him at previous matches. "I don't think any of us... were perfect at 20," Kyrgios said. Anti-abortion campaigner Bernie Smyth denies harassing Dawn Purvis twice in January and February. The Marie Stopes clinic opened in Belfast in October 2012, amid protests from anti-abortion groups. It provides medical termination of pregnancy up to nine weeks gestation, subject to legal criteria being met. A woman can only have an abortion in Northern Ireland if it can be proven her life is at risk or if there is a risk of permanent and serious damage to her mental or physical health. Ms Purvis told Belfast Magistrates Court that on one occasion she asked protesters heckling her to stop harassing her, but Ms Smyth replied: "You ain't seen harassment yet, darling." She told a prosecution lawyer she was "extremely shaken and upset" by the confrontation. Ms Purvis also claimed that after leaving her son and a friend at the front door of the clinic on Great Victoria Street, one of the protesters chased after the pair. She said that when she shouted "leave them alone", Ms Smyth began to cackle and laugh in an exaggerated way. The court was also shown CCTV footage of the two alleged incidents. A defence lawyer accused Ms Purvis of deliberately putting her hand out in front of the protesters in a dramatic fashion, during one of the incidents, as she knew the events were being recorded on CCTV. Ms Purvis denied this. When the defence barrister asked Ms Purvis about her involvement with pro-choice groups, the judge interrupted the proceedings to say he would "not allow this case to become a debate on pro-life or pro-choice". The case has been been adjourned until September. TfL spent £85m paying off Bombardier, the firm originally appointed for the work, whose contract was a "disaster for London", an assembly report said. It means District, Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines upgrades are not due to be complete until 2023. TfL said work was now "well under way" and it had taken action to cut costs. More on this story and other news from London Following publication of the report by the assembly's Budget and Performance Committee, its chair John Biggs said the Sub-Surface Upgrade Programme (SSUP) work was not going to be of benefit to passengers "any time soon". "This is because TfL has grossly mismanaged its signalling contract with Bombardier," he said. "[It] leaves TfL with £886m less to spend on its capital programme than it thought it had." TfL's auditors KPMG said in a 2014 report the procurement process was flawed, with Bombardier's bid taken forward despite the company failing to show it could do the work. When it became clear that the firm was failing to deliver, the wording of the contract meant it had to pay the company for the money it had spent rather than the value of its work. Mayor of London Boris Johnson, said Bombardier - awarded the contract in 2011 - had "totally stuffed it up". A contract was subsequently awarded to Thales, but the committee said TfL continued to claim the project could be delivered by 2018. "No-one in TfL has been held to account, and the mayor, who chairs its board, serenely and indifferently acts as if a £900m increase to the budget isn't an issue," said Mr Biggs. "In government, heads - political or official - would roll after such financial mismanagement. At TfL the key players have been promoted and nobody was to blame. It is a scandal." A TfL spokesman said work on the SSUP upgrade was "well under way" and it was implementing a £16bn savings programme. "It was essential that decisive action was taken to end the old Bombardier contract as soon as it became clear that it would not deliver for London," he said. "As the assembly acknowledges, we have implemented the central recommendations from KPMG's independent review." The BBC has approached Bombardier for comment. The 25-year-old, who joined from Bristol Rovers in January, has scored four goals in the last four games - form coinciding with the Gull's best run of results so far this season. "It's reignited my passion for the game," Blissett told BBC Sport. "I went a bit wayward and I lost my impetus and drive as I wasn't playing at Rovers." Blissett, the nephew of former England forward Luther, joined Bristol Rovers in November 2014 and helped the Pirates return to the Football League as they beat Grimsby on penalties to win the Conference play-off final at Wembley. But he played just three games for Rovers this season and had loan spells with Lincoln City and Tranmere Rovers before making the move to Plainmoor. "It was a different side of me that I didn't like," said Blissett, of his time out of the first team at Rovers. "Coming to Torquay, the gaffer has told me 'get your head down'. I just feel that I've got that steel back in myself and that any challenge that comes against me I'm going to be the better man in it." And Blissett feels he will only get better as he plays more matches for the Gulls, who are now just three points from safety after four consecutive league wins. "The whole season I hadn't played two games back-to-back, so coming here and having four or five games back-to-back gets that momentum going," he said. "That momentum carries you through and you get the confidence and everything becomes a lot easier in your game. "We've got that steel, that backbone in our team now, where if it's not going for us we can step up and match any team." The popular steeplechaser, under the guidance of trainer Colin Tizzard, will have stablemate Native River among his rivals. A strong Irish challenge includes the two-time runner-up Djakadam who bids to secure a first win for trainer Willie Mullins. Outlander, for in-form Gordon Elliott, and Sizing John are other contenders. Lizzie Kelly on Tea For Two will be the first woman to ride in the race for 33 years. A sell-out crowd of about 60,000 is expected for jump racing's showpiece event where runners negotiate 22 fences over three-and-a-quarter miles. Jockey Paddy Brennan said in an interview published earlier this week he "wanted to die" after Cue Card fell three fences from the finish in last year's Gold Cup won by Don Cossack. Cue Card was disputing the lead and missed out on a potential £1m bonus for winning the race. Now aged 11, the popular horse has gone on to win a third Betfair Chase at Haydock this season, before losing out to stablemate Thistlecrack in the King George VI Chase on Boxing Day and winning at Ascot in February. Brennan will be on board again, while champion jockey Richard Johnson partners Native River, winner of the Hennessy at Newbury, the Welsh Grand National and February's Denman Chase at Newbury. Tizzard, whose long-time Gold Cup favourite Thistlecrack was ruled out with injury last month, said he has no preference for his hopefuls. "There is no way I would want one horse to win more than the other," said the 61-year-old, who trains on the Somerset/Dorset border. "All I want them to do is run their races, come back fit and sound and may the best horse win." Kelly will become the first woman to ride in the race since Linda Sheedy pulled up the rank outsider Foxbury in 1984. "It's very interesting and a great privilege, but I see myself just the same as everyone else," said the 23-year-old Kelly who is used to making headlines. Media playback is not supported on this device She became the first female rider to win a Grade One race over jumps, with Tea For Two at Kempton in December 2015. "If people look at me and think they'd like to do the same, that's great," said Kelly, who rides for her stepfather trainer Ian Williams and has been working as a pundit on BBC Radio 5 live this week. "I appreciate a lot of girls don't have the support I've had but if you're good enough, you'll get the opportunities. "I'm very excited and looking forward to it. I've looked back at old videos and seen different ways of winning a Gold Cup and have my plan. I think we've got a good chance of a place." The 2017 Festival turned into a winning one for Mullins on Thursday after the usually dominant Irish champion trainer had suffered disappointments on the opening two days, including the shock defeat of Queen Mother Champion Chase favourite Douvan. He has saddled the runner-up of the Gold Cup six times but has yet to taste victory, and will be hoping for a change of luck. Djakadam has chased home Coneygree and Don Cossack in the past two Gold Cups. But he has enjoyed a better preparation this time and is expected to go well for the Festival's all-time leading jockey Ruby Walsh, who rode a four-timer for Mullins on Thursday. In contrast to Mullins, Elliott is enjoying a successful week and seeks to follow up Don Cossack's 2016 win with Outlander this time. Jessica Harrington saddles her first runner in the race - Irish Gold Cup winner Sizing John - with Henry de Bromhead represented by Champagne West. Jonjo O'Neill runs More Of That and Minella Rocco, while Bristol De Mai, Saphir Du Rheu and two of last year's finishers - fifth-placed Irish Cavalier and Smad Place (eighth) - complete the field. Andrew Thornton, winning rider on Cool Dawn in 1998 "Every jockey dreams of riding in the Gold Cup. If you're on something you fancy, you'll have it mapped out weeks before. "You get down to the start and you're on your own with the plan you've devised. You try to get a clear passage and get the horse jumping well and after that you're in the lap of the gods. "To win it was the best thing that ever happened in my career. "Ruby Walsh and Willie Mullins have had a quiet Cheltenham so far but it could be their year with Djakadam. He handles the track and occasion and has had an uninterrupted preparation." Bolivia says it owns the Silala spring in a border region and that it is not being compensated by Chile for the use of its waters. But Chile says it is an international waterway of shared use. Bolivia had brought up another case against Chile at the Hague-based ICJ, demanding access to the Pacific Ocean. The River Silala rises in Bolivia but flows down the Andes into Chile. "We have decided as a pacifist country to go to The Hague so that Chile respects our water in Silala," Mr Morales said. Bolivia-Chile land dispute has deep roots Chile's Foreign Minister Heraldo Munoz said the country could file a counterclaim. "What is clear is that it is not only about the sea, now it is about the rivers and any other excuse to attack our country and its interests," Mr Munoz was quoted by Efe news agency as saying. Chile uses water from the river to supply mine operations and some northern towns. In 2013, La Paz took the century-old dispute with Chile over access to the Pacific Ocean to the court, which has yet to rule on the issue. Bolivia lost 400km (240 miles) of coast to Chile in a 19th-Century war and has been landlocked ever since. He said they shared the day "with 120 of our closest friends and family, from Texarkana to Plymouth" at Bovey Castle Hotel on Dartmoor, Devon. The diver's new husband also shared a picture of the nuptials, asking "So... what did you do this weekend?" Daley, 22, married the scriptwriter and producer 30 miles from his home city of Plymouth. In the social media post, Daley said: "Thank you to everyone who made this weekend the most special weekend of our lives!" Fellow diver Brooke Graddon said the wedding was "full of love and happiness". "He's been through so many hard times in his life it's so nice that he's had his happy ending," she said. "The wedding was brilliant - it was so much fun. It's so nice seeing him happy." More on Tom Daley's wedding, and other Devon and Cornwall news Graddon, who has been one of Daley's best friends since he started diving aged seven, said the Olympic star had been "so chilled" about the ceremony. "He said he didn't start sorting out his wedding until January/February time, things like he just said he was going to make his own cake. "I didn't have any, so who knows whether I'd have food poisoning right now! "Obviously, the location was incredible but everything else was really relaxed, it was just so normal." Daley, who won bronze medals at the Olympic Games in London and Rio de Janeiro, revealed in a YouTube video in 2013 he had a boyfriend. He said his "whole world changed" when he fell in love with a man who had made him feel "so happy, so safe". The pair announced their engagement in 2015. Black, 42, won the best original screenplay Oscar for the 2008 film Milk, which was based on the life of gay rights activist and politician Harvey Milk. The Scot is the new tennis world number one and McGhee believes he will attend Friday's World Cup qualifier. "The players are all huge Andy Murray fans and have total respect for what he's done for himself and the country," McGhee said. "To emulate that in some way would be just fantastic." Murray, 29, is playing at the ATP World Tour Finals in London from Sunday, hoping to end the year at the top of the rankings. BBC Scotland understands Murray has been invited to Wembley by the Scotland camp, but his commitments in the lead-up to the finals may prevent him from taking up the offer. While the double Wimbledon and Olympic champion from Dunblane is enjoying the best spell of his career, the national football team have made a poor start to their Russia 2018 qualifying campaign. Gareth Southgate's England lead Group F with seven points from three matches, while Scotland are three points behind after a home draw with Lithuania was followed by defeat in Slovakia last month. McGhee believes the squad has shaken off that disappointment, with the players fired up by the prospect of taking on their neighbours. "I understand why there was negativity, but I think what we have met is a group of players, as far as I can sense, who have an absolute appetite for this game," said the Motherwell boss. "They want to bounce back from the disappointment of those two results. They are prepared to go into this game knowing that a result would be a fantastic achievement for us but believing that we can get a result. "Regardless of previous results, when this draw was made, that was the standout fixture, that was the fixture I wanted to be part of more than any other. So this is it. "Regardless of the circumstances of where we are in the group, I don't think we would want to go there and win any less than we do because of the circumstances of the group at the moment. It is just a fixture that looks after itself." McGhee, who scored Scotland's goal in their 1-1 draw with England in 1984 from a cross from current head coach Gordon Strachan, added: "We have a huge support going there, that is the focus for us. "The game being against England and the fact that we have something like 13,000 supporters going there, we want to give them something. "More than anything, I think the manager, and I would imagine the players as well, but I know that in particular the manager wants to give them something and a result there against England would be the perfect result." Meanwhile, Southgate has praised tennis star Murray. "He's a brilliant example for our young children," the England boss said. "He's an athlete who's dedicated himself to his sport. "He's number one in the world at a time when there are at least four of the greatest players ever seen on the tennis circuit. "People knocked him a lot as he made his way up and it's interesting he had to go through some near misses, semi-finals, finals, defeats that would have hurt him a lot. "There he is now, a sportsman we're all proud of north and south of the border and a great ambassador for British sport."

In a statement to the City, the firm said this muted retail environment should be seen as "the new normal". Its comments came as it reported a 15% rise in half-year profits to £213m, with sales up 5% to £1.59bn. Next also reiterated that higher cotton prices may lead to customers having to pay more for clothes. The fashion retailer did, however, make significant gains in the FTSE 100 after announcing the substantial rise in pre-tax profit, which saw its share price rise by 4.9%. The news appeared to lift sentiment in other major retailers, with Kingfisher and Marks and Spencer also rising by more than 2%. The retailer said it did not anticipate a double-dip recession in the UK nor a meltdown in consumer spending. By Robert PestonBusiness editor, BBC News Read Robert's blog But it said the impact of public spending cuts and fall in the credit availability would be felt. "Very little by way of growth in total consumer spending for the foreseeable future" was expected, Next said. BBC business editor Robert Peston said that Next's "sober assessment" would be taken notice of by the government, "partly because it is a respected business and partly because Next's chief executive [Simon Wolfson] is a Tory peer and close to the prime minister and chancellor". For the six months to the end of July, Next's High Street sales were towards the lower end of previous guidance, but the Next Directory home shopping business produced a better-than-expected performance, with a 7.8% rise in first-half sales. The firm said that the real opportunities it saw for growth were through its website and catalogue and by opening new shops focussing on homeware and furniture. In its statement, Next reiterated that higher cotton prices will mean that clothes will become more expensive. Devastating floods in Pakistan - one of the world's largest cotton producers - and fears over this year's crop in China have sent cotton prices surging to 15-year highs in recent weeks. Next said cotton prices were 45% higher than this time last year, and that this, along with the planned VAT rise, meant price rises were "inevitable" in the spring of next year - predicting increases of between 5% and 8%. On Tuesday, department store Debenhams warned that the entire UK clothes retail industry faced higher prices, because of the rising cost of cotton and the weak pound. Primark has also said that rising costs may eat into its profit margins over the coming year. Regarding Catalonia, most commentators and politicians in Madrid never thought the answer to that question could be yes. And by refusing to even entertain the idea of a referendum, the Spanish government believed the pro-independence camp in Catalonia would have nowhere to turn. However, Catalan nationalists have forced the issue. A year ago they held their own unofficial (in the eyes of Madrid) referendum. They scored 80% in favour of independence, but turnout was low as many boycotted the vote. Then in September they held a regional election and painted it as a Yes/No vote on independence. The nationalists failed to get 50% of the vote. And only with the support of a far-left pro-independence party did the main coalition, Together for Yes, get past the 50% threshold of seats in the Catalan parliament. But that didn't stop them. A majority of seats for pro-independence parties was enough for them to claim a "mandate" and push on with their project to create a new state. Catalans push for independence from Spain Does independence loom? Catalonia profile - Overview For years Catalan nationalists have been warning me that without a referendum they would still proceed. In September 2012 I was on the streets of Barcelona amid a sea of red- and yellow-striped Catalan flags (many with the blue triangle and silver secessionist star), chants of "independence" and more than a million people. I was struck by their impassioned rejection of the Spanish state. In their eyes, the failings of Spanish politics were catastrophic. For them, the economic crisis enveloping their beloved Catalonia was proof enough. Surely that demonstration was a wake-up call for the Spanish government? However, it was another three years until I and other foreign Madrid-based journalists were invited to La Moncloa - Spain's version of Number 10 Downing Street or the White House - to be briefed on Catalonia by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's Chief of Staff, Jorge Moraga. In at times strong language, he wanted to put across how Madrid saw latest events. Catalonia did not get a raw economic deal, he argued. Via Catalan public media the nationalists had manipulated public opinion, creating a false sense of grievance amongst Catalans and the impression that the Spanish state was "anti-Catalan". Mr Moraga, a Catalan himself, said the opposite was true and argued that the voice of those Catalans (like him) whose DNA was both Spanish and Catalan was being drowned out. Around the same time, the Spanish foreign minister went head-to-head on Catalan TV in a debate against a leading pro-independence politician. For many, the Spanish government woke up late from what appeared, at worst, to be a sense of denial over the Catalan question, and at best a policy of non-engagement. Now Madrid is warning that senior Catalan politicians could have their powers taken away if they continue to "disobey" the will of the Spanish state. In one Spanish newspaper this week there was talk of Madrid taking control of Catalonia's autonomous police force, or cutting funding to the Catalan government. After years of inaction, when the arguments and desires of the Catalan independence movement appeared for many in Madrid to be theoretical hyperbole, things now feel real. The threat of Catalan politicians creating their own state, regardless of what Madrid says, is real. The idea of Madrid using the force of law to physically stop this happening could soon become real. Everything could change if there is a change of government in Madrid in a Spanish general election on 20 December. Of course the pro-independence camp have problems of their own. They are an unlikely political amalgamation of right- and left-wing parties. The centre-right President Artur Mas is desperately trying to hang on to power. But those on the far left are unlikely to accept him as their independence king. The impasse between Madrid and the nationalists in Barcelona has produced a sense of political crisis. And no one knows where this will end. The 45-year-old, nicknamed the Sheriff of Pottingham, fought back from 5-2 down to triumph in Berlin. World number 14 Carter, winner in 2013, claimed the first three frames. But Hamilton, ranked 66 and hampered by a neck injury in recent years, chalked up breaks of 118, 73, 74 and 70 as he recovered to secure victory. Hamilton's run to the final - his first since the 2002 China Open - included wins over the world number one and two, Mark Selby and Stuart Bingham. The Nottingham potter, who briefly dropped off the main tour last year, was embraced by his father and mother as the crowd gave him a standing ovation after his victory. "Dreams are made of this stuff," he said. "It's been a fantastic week and I just can't ask for any more than this. "I don't know what to do with the trophy as I've never had one." Carter has won four ranking titles - the most recent in the World Open last summer was his first since being given the all-clear from lung cancer in 2014. "Anthony played really well. He thoroughly deserved it. I'm delighted for him," Carter said. Ronnie O'Sullivan, five-time world snooker champion, told Eurosport: "I was on the amateur circuit with him and his mum and dad were there all the time. "He's very self-deprecating. Every professional in the game will be over the moon for him." Jimmy White, six-time world championship runner-up: "He's a really nice guy. It's just a wonderful moment. He's given his whole life to the game." A "dramatic" blaze ripped through the roundhouses about 3,000 years ago at Must Farm quarry in Cambridgeshire. River silt helped preserve the timbers and contents. But Dr Karl Harrison, who has been brought in to investigate the cause, said a definitive explanation was unlikely to be established. The Whittlesey site has been described as the "best-preserved Bronze Age dwellings ever found" in the country. Dr Harrison said char patterns suggested the fire started within one of the houses and could "assist " in building up a picture of what the site would have looked like. The forensic archaeologist, from Cranfield University's Wiltshire campus, specialises in the archaeology of fires within structures. "Must Farm gives us a particularly dramatic burnt building to look at," he said. "Normally when we get an opportunity to study prehistoric fires it's because they're preserved in mud brick buildings in the Near East, not in Cambridgeshire - so having this material preserved is absolutely incredible." Evidence suggests the fire probably started within the largest roundhouse, but the cause is likely to remain unknown. "It could have been a deliberate fire to clear the site for a new house, or set as a ritual closure of a site, perhaps if the family died," Dr Harrison said. However, as many of the contents were still inside, he said: "It's looks like they just ran out the door - but that might not tell the whole story." Greig Thomson, 38, wanted to impress his new girlfriend by buying a flat in Dundee. He was caught when lawyers demanded £80,000 from his mother after he defaulted on the loan. She realised the loan agreement had been signed by her son without her permission and called in police. Sheriff Alastair Brown told Thomson: "The fact this crime of dishonesty was committed from an office with a computer and a desk rather than at the dead of night with a pair of gloves and a jemmy doesn't make a difference to the court." Dundee Sheriff Court heard Thomson had been working for Aberdeen Mortgage Management in Dundee when he carried out the fraud in 2007. The £180,000 flat was repossessed in 2014 and eventually sold for £126,000. Fiscal depute Vicki Bell said: "On February 8 last year he attended police HQ and was interviewed. "He admitted forging his mother's signature and obtaining the property. "He stated he had been earning a good salary but didn't have three years of accounts as a self-employed person to get a mortgage. "He wanted to impress his new girlfriend, he saw the property and really liked it so forged his mother's signature to get the mortgage." Thomson's lawyer Paul Parker Smith said: "He does not claim what he did was right. "One option he had was to take out a mortgage with his mother as a guarantor. "He elected to go down the fraudulent route." Sheriff Brown told Thomson, of Wellgrove Street, Dundee, he would have jailed him for a year but for his early guilty plea. He said: "This merits a serious sentence - those who are in regulated positions who abuse that must understand that they are walking towards the door of prison. "It appears that the underlying motive here was a wish to be seen as a person of substance and standing, of sufficient success to obtain property. "But what you did was dishonest." A2Dominion said that a "small number" of the "severely damaged" properties in Gibbs Crescent, Osney, will be dismantled after an explosion. A three-storey block of flats fell down in the explosion on February, and others were damaged. Thames Valley Police said human remains found at the scene were thought to belong to resident Guido Schuette. Residents of the severely damaged flats are still in temporary accommodation. A2Dominion director Dawn Wightman said: "Our priority at the moment is to retrieve as many personal belonging as possible from these flats for the residents who will not be able to return. "Once we have completed this, we will finalise arrangements with our structural engineers for the damaged properties to be taken down safely. We are aiming to do this as soon as possible." The housing association has not said when the flats will be demolished, or where residents will be housed. An investigation into the cause of the explosion continues, and an inquest into the death of Mr Schuette will be held at Oxfordshire Coroner's Court. The 48-year-old was missing and believed dead before test results proved human remains found in the rubble of the explosion were his. The contest at the Harwich sausage festival is adjudicated by a cricket umpire "to prevent cheating", organisers said. The record for the furthest-thrown "standard raw" sausage stands at 150ft and 6in (45.9m) and is held by Nick Alway, who also won this year's event. The event is organised by Tendring's branch of Camra (Campaign for Real Ale) and is now in its fifth year. "There's a bit of sausage-throwing but the serious business is sampling sausages from nine local producers," said Richard Oxborrow, vice chair of Tendring Camra and one of the festival organisers. "Nick's been the champion for three years now. He's been pursued by several people but they just can't throw their sausages as far as he can." Tendring Camra posted a photo on Twitter of one of the less successful throws of the competition, captioned: "The last throw's trajectory was interrupted". The 18-year-old studied source gated transistors, an energy-efficient alternative to traditional transistors. Their usability has been questioned due to some self-heating effects. The new research, presented at the British Science Festival and published in Scientific Reports, shows that these effects are actually minimal. Source gated transistors (SGTs) are more energy efficient and more electrically robust than traditional transistors - the fundamental building blocks of electronic devices. They allow the control of colour and brightness in the pixels on a screen, among a raft of other variables. But it had been thought that SGTs self-heating would lead to device failures. Thomas Burridge, a sixth-form student, co-authored the paper during a placement with the University of Surrey last summer, through the educational charity Satro. He wrote computer code to simulate SGTs self-heating and processed the results, then checked them against data from real experiments. Simple design changes to the geometry of the SGT, he found, all but eliminated self-heating and its damaging effects. This year, Mr Burridge is going on to study engineering at the University of Cambridge. "When you set the students a task, you never tell them that this is something that no-one has ever tackled before. They're not aware that this is at the edge of our knowledge, yet they deliver great work," said Dr Radu Sporea, Mr Burridge's supervisor and a research fellow at the University of Surrey. Clothing, sensors and displays could benefit from this development, making wearable technology and flexible screens a reality. But untapped potential remains, as Dr Sporea explained. "I don't think we've found the true killer application of this, but the potential is immense because SGTs could be economic, robust, lightweight, and we can manufacture vast amounts of them in a similar way to newspapers being printed in a paper press." As for Thomas Burridge - he found it all very rewarding: "I wanted to do this because I wanted to experience what it was like to do research. I did all this in four weeks; it's really surprising how much you can learn in a short amount of time. At the start I didn't think I would be able to do it, but it got easier as I went along." The Ivorian left the Swans for the Etihad Stadium on a four-year contract in 2015 for a fee worth up to £28m. Bony, 28, managed only eight goals in 46 appearances for City - more than half of which came as a substitute - and spent last season on loan at Stoke. His potential return to Wales could depend on the future of Swansea's top scorer last season, Fernando Llorente. The 32-year-old, who is currently sidelined with an arm injury, has been a transfer target for Chelsea, having worked with the Premier League champions' manager, Antonio Conte, at Juventus. Swansea have yet to receive a bid this summer for the Spain international, who scored 15 goals last season to help the Welsh club avoid relegation from the top flight. The Swans did reject offers for Llorente during the January transfer window, and a move for Bony could be seen as insurance should Llorente leave. Swansea signed England Under-21 striker Tammy Abraham on a season-long loan from Chelsea earlier this summer. But with club record signing Borja Baston on loan at Malaga, the Swans could be short of forward options if Llorente was to leave. Before Baston's arrival, Bony was Swansea's record signing when he joined from Vitesse Arnhem for £12m in 2013. He scored 34 goals in all competitions for the Swans before his move to City. Bony's high wages at City were thought to be a stumbling block for a potential return to the Liberty Stadium, though Swansea could soon have more money if midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson joins Everton. The 24-year-old Scot achieved the ranking in the same year he won four Grand Slam titles in additions to Paralympic gold and silver. "It's only a good thing if people are expecting you to win because you're playing well," Reid told BBC Scotland. "Hopefully I can keep going in the right trajectory and try to emulate the success of this year." In 2016, Reid won singles titles at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, as well as doubles titles at the French Open and Wimbledon. More recently he added a silver medal alongside Alfie Hewitt in the Paralympic doubles and a gold medal in the singles final - against Hewitt - in Rio. "If someone had told me that at the start of the year I'd have told them they were crazy," said Reid. Media playback is not supported on this device "It's been a phenomenal year and I've loved every moment of it. The trip to Rio was the icing on the cake and hopefully there will be more years like that in the future. "It's always a really special thing for me to represent my country but to go out there and be on the podium, have the flag on your top and know that you've contributed to the most successful tally we've ever had as a team was brilliant." Despite such a successful last nine months, Glasgow-based Reid believes he has still to reach his peak in tennis. "I'm only 24 and I've already got a lot of experience under my belt, which is really important in our sport," he said. "Physically I still feel like I've got improvements to make and in my game as well there are still things I can make better. "There are a lot of good players at the top of the men's game so it's going to be tough and people are going to be gunning for me. But I'll do my best to try to stay up there." Yet Tim Brown, chief executive of design agency IDEO, is convinced the combination is the future and says he has already hired "several". "They're really changing the way we think," he says enthusiastically. And that fresh perspective is exactly what he believes not just his firm, but businesses in general will need to enable them to adapt and find new profitable niches in an increasingly competitive market. "We think of a business as a machine. I don't think that's appropriate in the future. "The way we will think about business and society will be much more based on biological metaphors, on the way ecosystems work, because they're much more complex and much more adaptive," he says. At IDEO, staff are sent on secondments to different international offices to ensure they experience different ways of working and living, giving them a wider perspective. Mr Brown says the firm also aims to create an atmosphere where employees feel free to try new ideas out, regardless of whether or not they are successful. For a firm like IDEO , which employs just 550 staff and whose work is based on individuals' knowledge and skill, changing how it does business can be relatively painless and fast. But for bigger companies the process can be much harder as inevitably the larger a firm gets the more people have to agree and approve any changes before they are put into action. Leadership expert Steve Tappin says larger firms often become "mind bogglingly complex", making change very difficult. "Most big businesses create bureaucratic processes to deal with their expansion. The key for chief executives is not to control complexity but to build organisations which can respond intelligently and adaptively," he says. When George Barrett joined US healthcare services firm Cardinal Health in 2008 as chief executive, the entire industry was changing due to a significant demographic shift, with the older population expanding rapidly, and a sharp growth in some health issues such as obesity. Because the firm operated on very small profit margins, the performance of staff and different units was constantly measured to ensure it was on target, but he says the "dark side" of being so focused on the detail was that the firm was missing these bigger external shifts in the market. "Part of my job was about bringing a different perspective," he says. As a result, he says the firm started to look forward more, making some bets on which services would be in demand in the future and ensuring it hired people qualified in those areas. This included deliberately hiring people, he says, which were not like him or other people in the organisation, avoiding the "recipe for disaster" which he says surrounding himself with similar people would have been. "You sometimes have to give the voice to that heretic who drives everybody crazy but at least is stirring up enough new thought." Stefano Pessina, executive vice chairman of newly-merged firm Walgreens Alliance Boots, is equally careful to make sure the views of those at the top don't become too dominant. An entrepreneur all his life, Mr Pessina has grown the family firm he inherited from his father into a giant through constant mergers. But he's careful to ensure the larger firm retains its entrepreneurial edge. In fact, it regularly cuts people at the top of the firm to keep the organisation "very lean" and to make sure that it doesn't become too bureaucratic. "What is important is to have a lot of people where the customers are. It's not important to have people just in the corporate offices, because many people in the corporate offices have never seen a customer," he says. He, himself, he says only has a tiny office, to emphasise the point that its customers and the staff serving them are the most important part of the organisation. Ultimately, says John Mackey, chief executive at supermarket chain Whole Foods, those at the top have to ensure that they have a solid understanding of all the different relationships which exist in the business: those between suppliers, staff, investors and customers, for example. "We need leaders who have a higher degree of systems intelligence that can see how it all fits together and that understand the importance of creating value for all of these stakeholders. It's a different kind of leader to who we typically have," he says. Maybe a biologist is the person for the job, after all. This feature is based on interviews by leadership expert Steve Tappin for the BBC's CEO Guru series, produced by Neil Koenig. The Englishman spent his first game since his appointment taking a back seat while the Premiership side lost their Scottish Cup replay to Rangers. "Those are a couple of things that stood out, certainly towards the end of the game," Clark told BBC Scotland. "It is just about gradually getting the message across." Clark, the former Huddersfield Town, Birmingham City and Blackpool boss, will take charge properly for the first time when Dundee visit Rugby Park on Saturday in the Scottish Premiership. The 43-year-old took "lots of positives" from Tuesday's game, despite the 2-1 defeat by the Championship leaders. "There were some terrific bits of play, I thought we scored a tremendous goal and, for 60-65 minutes, we were more than a match for a really good Rangers team," he said. "We obviously got a bit tired and fatigued towards the end of the game, so obviously fitness is the one that we can work on. "When you lose a bit of your fitness towards the end of the game, you lose a bit of composure on the ball and you give it back to the opposition a little bit quicker, so that's another area in terms of keeping the ball and making the opposition work for it." Clark has already made alterations to Kilmarnock's training regime since his appointment on Monday. "Obviously the fitness one is going to need to be a gradual thing because we cannot rip into the players and go from nothing to full tilt because then you run the risk of picking up injuries and we can't afford to do that," he said. However, Kilmarnock defender Conrad Balatoni revealed one intriguing change to their preparations. "We're coming in a bit later and we're doing this chronological training where you're training the same time as you're going to be playing, so I'm looking forward to seeing how that goes," he said. "We're looking forward to working with him in the coming weeks and hopefully improving ourselves as a team. "He says he's very approachable, so that's always good. "It's always good when someone with his knowledge of the game comes in and he can tweak a few things." The latest results, published in 2013 from tests taken in 2012, showed that the highest performers were in Asian countries.

It raised questions about the long hours of study in countries such as South Korea and showed how the global education map is changing. He was found with serious head injuries at a property in Granville Road, Accrington, at about 08:45 BST. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. Police officers remain at the house. Det Supt Paul Withers said the death is being treated as an isolated incident and an investigation into the circumstances is under way. He appealed for anybody with information to come forward. The airport operator raised an action against the council over work at Sumburgh Airport. It had contracted the council to provide engineering works and services for a runway extension project. The Court of Session has ruled that HIAL had not left it too late to make a claim for payment. The council said it now expects the case to go to a full hearing. The court action raised in 2011 originally sought declarations that there had been a breach of contract. It alleged defects had arisen and not been remedied. There was no conclusion for damages. HIAL maintained the extent of the alleged loss could not properly be assessed. But it added a further amendment later seeking payment of £14.2m plus interest from the council. Shetland Islands Council maintained the claim for payment came too late. But judge Lady Scott said the terms of the action gave fair notice of the claim to the council. Lord President Lord Gill, sitting with Lord Menzies and Lord Drummond Young, have now rejected the council's challenge to that ruling. Lord Gill said: "It is not disputed that if the claim can be said to have been made only when the amendment was allowed, the claim has prescribed. "The short question therefore is whether the declaratory conclusions in this action constituted the making of a relevant claim." He added: "On a fair reading, the summons left the defender (the council) in no doubt that a claim was being made, that it was a claim for payment and that precise quantification of it would follow in due course. "It was plainly a claim in part-implement of the defender's alleged obligations, being a definitive step in the process of enforcing them." Shetland Islands Council said the case was now likely to proceed to a full hearing. In a statement, it said: "The appeal court in Edinburgh has ruled against Shetland Islands Council in a technical legal matter over the Sumburgh airport runway extension dispute with Highlands and Islands Airports Limited. "The issue before the Court of Session was whether or not the airport authority was time-barred from raising a claim for payment. HIAL initially raised the court action against the council claiming, among other things, defects in the design. "The decision on this preliminary matter means that the case is likely to proceed to a full hearing. The council will not comment further at this time." Indian censor official JP Singh said they had objected to some scenes in the film and "wanted them to be blurred". Sony Pictures in India said in a statement quoted by the AFP news agency that it would not compromise on the content of the film. The David Fincher film stars Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara. It is based on Stieg Larsson's best-selling thriller which tells a story of murder, corruption and family secrets, and contains some sex scenes. "Bare bottom and bare-breast scenes are not allowed in India," Mr Singh, an official at India's Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) said. "We objected to several scenes in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and wanted them to be blurred." Sony Pictures in India said that the censors had "adjudged the film unsuitable for public viewing in its unaltered form". "And while we are committed to maintaining and protecting the vision of the director, we will, as always, respect the guidelines set by the board," the statement added. More than 1,500 foreign films, mostly Hollywood, are released in India every year after clearing the country's censors.

The visitors took the lead in the second half through Jack Sampson following an error from the home side. But James Jennings pulled the hosts level eight minutes later when he latched onto Elliott Frear's free-kick. Clough broke Macclesfield hearts in the third minute of added time when he found the net from close range to keep Rovers on top of the National League. Forest Green boss Ady Pennock told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: Media playback is not supported on this device "I thought we should have scored four or five in the first half from set-plays, but we just needed to be more ruthless in front of goal. "Macclesfield are a good side hanging around the play-offs so it's a massive win for us and caps off a fantastic week. "There's unbelievable togetherness here and it's showed with the way we're playing this year. Let's just hope it continues to the end. "We've got a tough month ahead but let's enjoy these times because we've won six out of six in January - enjoy it while we can and look forward to February." The incident happened during the morning rush hour at the Francia station, in the city centre. Reports said the train did not brake properly when entering the station, hitting the buffers at the platform. Dozens of emergency personnel were sent to the station, with most of the injured being treated on the platform. Emergency services said as well as the seriously wounded person, who does not have life-threatening injuries, 19 people were moderately hurt. They are being treated in hospital. Among them is the driver, who is said to be in a state of shock. The remainder were lightly injured. "At the moment of impact I had the feeling of experiencing an earthquake," one passenger, Lidia, told La Vanguardia newspaper (in Spanish). She said she had been in the front carriage. "People were swaying back and forth and colliding into each other. Many people fell to the ground because people were standing up and I saw several people with cuts to the head and face from the blows they suffered when they fell." Among those hurt were three citizens from France and Romania, local authorities said. Their respective consulates have been informed. The accident happened at 07:15 (05:15 GMT) after the train had travelled from the village of Sant Vicenç de Calders, some 60km (37 miles) to Barcelona's south-west. Íñigo de la Serna, the minister for public works, has travelled to Barcelona, in the country's north-eastern Catalonia region, to oversee the rescue operation. The state-run railway firm Adif said an investigation had been opened. The 27-year-old had a medical on Saturday and could go straight into the squad for the champions' Scottish Premiership opener at Hearts on Sunday. Sinclair previously worked with Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers at Swansea, where he says "I played my best football". "It feels amazing to have joined Celtic," the winger said. "It's a massive club and I'm happy to be here." After Sunday's opener at Hearts, Celtic have a League Cup meeting with Motherwell on Wednesday, a friendly against Inter Milan in Ireland next Saturday, followed by the first leg of their Champions League play-off round against Israel's Hapoel Beer Sheva on Wednesday, 17 August. With Patrick Roberts facing up to three weeks out with a hamstring problem and fellow winger Gary Mackay-Steven still recovering from an ankle operation, Sinclair is likely to be involved straightaway. "I can't wait to get on the pitch. When I went back to Aston Villa for pre-season, I heard Celtic were interested and I just knew I had to come here," he told the Celtic website. "I had to look at this move and I thought it would be great for me. And because I know the manager and I know what to expect, hopefully I can get off to a flying start. Sinclair and Rodgers have worked together twice - at Chelsea and Swansea City. "I had him in at Chelsea when he was 16 years of age. I know him probably as well as anyone and I know his qualities," Rodgers said on Friday. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The doctor at Dundee's Ninewells Hospital told BBC Scotland that surgical teams were prevented from seeing patients to manipulate figures. The whistleblower said the system was putting patients at risk. NHS Tayside said patient safety was its "overriding priority". Health Secretary Shona Robison said the Scottish government had been assured by NHS Tayside "that their ways of working are effective and safe". For several years, NHS Tayside has boasted the lowest accident and emergency waits in Scotland, with 99% of patients treated in four hours. However the whistleblower, who wants to remain anonymous, said surgical teams were being bullied and prevented from seeing potentially seriously ill patients in order to manipulate the figures. The doctor, a member of the general surgical team at Ninewells Hospital, said patients were not allowed to be assessed by surgeons until they are moved to the surgical department. This, he claimed, is so hospital managers can tick a box saying the patient has been discharged from accident and emergency, and the waiting time 'clock' stops. "On paper, it would seem that the patient was in the A&E department for a short time," the doctor told BBC Scotland. "The surgical service is often actively barred from assessing sometimes critically ill patients in A&E, as this would increase the time spent by the patient in A&E. "Patients presenting to A&E with abdominal pain - the bulk of surgical patients - are not treated there in any way. They are quickly seen by a junior doctor, who then discusses the case with a consultant. "The patient is then referred to the surgical ward where actual assessment, investigations and treatment takes place." It is claimed surgical specialists are not allowed to order blood or imaging tests on the patient in the emergency department, as they would normally do, in case this causes delays. This is despite the fact that the department which carries out the imaging tests is next to A&E, and patients often have to be transported back again. Across Scotland, the NHS is still not meeting the Scottish government's interim target for 95% of people to be treated and discharged within four hours. The last figures, published on Tuesday, suggested that 93% of people were seen and treated within this time frame. Staff at NHS Tayside raised the manipulation of waiting time figures with the General Medical Council (GMC) last year. The GMC is carrying out visits to hospitals following a rise in the number of trainee doctors reporting bullying or undermining. A report of a visit to Ninewells in October stated: "We heard from all groups that we met that there may be issues with interaction with other departments such as emergency medicine. We also heard that doctors in training feel unable to attend the emergency medicine department unless they are explicitly asked to do so by staff in that department. "Additionally when they do attend we heard examples of when they were undermined and/or bullied." It was raised again earlier this year, this time in a report on the quality of surgical training at the hospital by NHS Education. However, NHS Tayside said patient safety is its "overriding priority". A spokeswoman said senior clinicians see patients as soon as possible, and where the input of senior clinicians from other specialties would benefit patients, they are encouraged to attend. She added that tests and treatment are carried out within the emergency department, and said: "Waiting time targets do not form any part of our primary consideration." Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "We have been in contact with NHS Tayside on this issue and have been assured by the board that the first priority in A&E is always the safe and effective treatment of the patient. "Our guidance makes clear this should always be the case where targets are set and the four-hour A&E target is no different. Indeed the key driver of this target is to ensure patients receive safe, effective care as quickly as possible and are not subjected to long waits." Ms Robison added: "There is absolutely no place for bullying in our NHS and we are completely committed to a culture of openness where staff of any level can raise concerns. "On that basis, staff working at NHS Tayside should feel able to bring forward issues to management at the health board. "I would encourage anyone with concerns to raise them in line with advice provided to all staff and allow the issues to be thoroughly investigated." Thirty candidates contested the poll, which is likely to go to a run-off on 31 January. He was prime minister in the government of ex-President Francois Bozize, ousted in 2013 by mainly Muslim Seleka rebels. The country has since been wracked by conflict along religious lines. More than a quarter of the population has been forced from their homes. Voting took place on 30 December, with UN troops guarding polling stations. Mr Touadera has more than 23% of votes counted so far with his nearest rival, Anicet Georges Dologuele, another former prime minister, on around 13%, according to electoral officials quoted by the AFP news agency. Desire Kolingba, son of a former president, is in third place. But the votes cast outside the capital, Bangui, as well as those of refugees and other CAR citizens abroad still need to be counted. The candidates are vying to replace interim leader Catherine Samba-Panza. Mr Touadera, 58, was a university maths lecturer before entering politics. He ran as an independent in the election. CAR has been torn by sectarian violence since the Seleka rebels seized power in March 2013. A band of mostly Christian militias, called the anti-Balaka, then took up arms against the Seleka. Will elections end the fighting in CAR? More about the Central African Republic The interim government and international donors pushed for the poll, believing that an elected president and parliament would help CAR recover from years of unrest. CAR is one of the world's poorest countries - yet it is rich in natural resources. Elections also took place for the 149-seat National Assembly. After seizing power, the Seleka rebels installed Michel Djotodia as the first Muslim leader of the majority Christian country. But under pressure from regional leaders and former colonial power France, Mr Djotodia stood down and was succeeded by Ms Samba-Panza. About 1.8 million people were registered to vote, out of a population of roughly five million. More than one million people fled their homes during the intercommunal fighting. Bob Price said the 730 spaces at the medical centre are "simply inadequate". He admitted the council - as the planning authority - was part of the problem for limiting the number of spaces on the site. The hospital trust advises patients to leave themselves an extra hour to find parking. The city council has opposed increasing capacity at the hospital as it would increase the amount of traffic going through Headington. But Mr Price said that as the local NHS is transformed, more services that were formerly based in other hospitals will take place at the John Radcliffe Hospital, increasing the number of patients. He added: "It's going to get worse as if you look at the transformation plans, which the clinical commissioning group has put together, then the concentration of facilities at the John Radcliffe is only likely to increase rather than decrease. "It's traditionally been the case that we try to reduce traffic growth in the city, but as you can see it's simply inadequate." Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which operates the site, said it was working on a "masterplan" in a bid to solve the problem. It said: "Our current access and parking problems will not be solved overnight. However, we are hoping to have some initial broad concepts for wider discussion in the early part of 2017. "For the time being, we do encourage both staff and visitors to make use of alternative transport options including local park and ride services." The bodies of David Miller, 24, from Jersey and Hannah Witheridge, 23, from Norfolk, were found on a beach on Koh Tao in September 2014. Burmese migrants Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo were convicted of the murders and sentenced to death in December. Jersey Coroner Mark Harris recorded a narrative verdict after outlining the murder case in Thailand. Earlier this month, Norfolk's coroner ruled Ms Witheridge was unlawfully killed. Mr Miller's mother Sue said after the inquest in St Helier: "We kept in contact with Dave via Skype during his time in Australia and Thailand. "His last call was on Skype from Koh Tao hours before his death. He described the island as paradise and showed us the view from his balcony using his phone and said he was going snorkelling that day. "We're so grateful for that last contact. I heard the news about the deaths on the radio. No names were mentioned but I knew it was Dave. "I tried to call him and sent him emails but my worst fears were confirmed by the arrival of the police." She added: "Dave was intelligent and hard-working. He brought light, energy and hope into our lives. He had a clear sense of justice. He was in the prime of his life and had so much ahead of him." Last year, the University of Leeds, where Mr Miller had been studying, presented his mother with his posthumous degree in civil and structural engineering. The convicted men are appealing against their convictions and death sentences for the murders. A third straight defeat means the Gulls have slipped to 18th, just two points above the relegation zone. "All being well we can look to help this group with a bit of experience," Nicholson told BBC Radio Devon. "That's been ongoing for a couple of weeks now, but it's a tough one at the moment to get the right people." Nicholson added: "I just haven't had the breakthroughs that it looked at times I was going to have, but that's the nature of the beast - you've got to keep asking the questions and highlighting the players and eventually you'll get what you want." Other than Nicholson, who has not played himself since October, Aman Verma and Shaun Harrad are the only Torquay players over the age of 30, but the manager accepts his squad should still be doing better. "If they (the players) don't get it, it's my fault - I'm the manager. I have to get it so it becomes second nature to them. "It's okay talking about a lack of experience and what we need, but what we have right now I have to make better - that's the truth of it." Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said the government will hold talks with Virgin for a temporary contract. A competition will then be run for a new franchise deal. Mr McLoughlin added the first findings of a review into what went wrong will be released by the end of October. The decision to give FirstGroup the route from December was withdrawn after "technical flaws" in the bid process were discovered. Three senior civil servants have been suspended and the government faces a bill of £40m to compensate franchise bidders. A Virgin Trains spokesman said the move meant it was in a position to "offer customers some short-term continuity". By Richard WestcottBBC transport correspondent The government's landed itself in a right old mess over the West Coast franchise and so they're trying something totally new to clean it up. Ministers, Virgin, even First Group seem to all agree that it's best if Virgin keeps the trains going after its contract expires on 9 December. But they can't run things for too long because it wouldn't be fair...EU procurement rules mean everyone must get a decent go at bidding for new business. That's why ministers have had to set up another, short-term franchise competition, open to everyone, to plug the gap between the time Virgin's deal runs out, and the time a new, long-term contract is awarded to run the line. Ministers also have to wait for a review to report back into whether franchising really works. And that's not due until Christmas. If it recommends big changes, it will lead to yet more delays. So all of this is a rather messy way of buying some time until they sort everything out. The whole fiasco's costing the taxpayer tens of millions of pounds but there is just the one piece of good news if you use the line: we're being reassured the service won't suffer. The competition to run the line was cancelled on 3 October and led to the suspension of other franchise programmes including bids for Essex Thameside, Great Western and Thameslink. The government has announced two independent reviews to focus on the West Coast competition and the wider DfT rail franchise programme. The flaws in the bidding were discovered as the DfT was preparing to contest a legal challenge by Virgin to the decision not to award it the contract. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said: "My priority now is to fix the problem and the first step is to take urgent action to ensure that... services continue to run to the same standard and passengers are not affected. "I believe Virgin remaining as operator for a short period of time is the best way to do this and my officials and I will be working flat out to make this happen." Mr McLoughlin said he hoped the preliminary findings of one of two reviews he has launched into the debacle will be released by the end of this month. The chief executive of energy firm Centrica, Sam Laidlaw, will investigate "what happened during the West Coast procurement, and why," said Mr McLoughlin. He told the Commons: "I have asked for the initial findings of this [Laidlaw] review by the end of October and expect to have a full report by the end of November. "It will establish the lessons to be learnt," he added, The transport secretary added the second review, led by the chairman of Eurostar, Richard Brown, "will report no later than the end of the year on lessons for the future franchising programme, so that it can be resumed as soon as possible". He warned the House: "Before these reviews have been completed... any speculation as to the nature of the flaws is just that... speculation". The West Coast route serves 31 million passengers travelling between London, the West Midlands, the north-west of England, North Wales and the central belt of Scotland. FirstGroup had initially beaten current operator Virgin Trains to win the 13-year franchise. BBC News transport correspondent Richard Westcott said the interim contract will last for two years while the longer franchise will be handed out around the time of the next general election. The decision was a "messy solution to a mistake that is costing the taxpayer tens of millions of pounds" but the transport secretary feels it is the best way to keep services running without disruption, our correspondent added. Ahead of the announcement, Labour warned that a decision to extend Virgin's contract could see taxpayers exposed to further legal costs. Shadow transport secretary Maria Eagle also said it was wrong for the investigation into the bid process to be carried by Mr Laidlaw, who is also a DfT non-executive director. She told the Commons the whole saga was "a monumental failure of this shambles of a government". RMT transport union leader Bob Crow described the decision to extend Virgin's franchise as a "shabby deal" but said it was "no surprise". The RMT had been hoping the West Coast franchise would be run by the DfT in the public sector. Meanwhile, Manuel Cortes, leader of the TSSA rail union, said: "This decision means that the long-running Whitehall farce, known as private rail franchising, continues at the taxpayer's expense." Sharp, who has been named scottishathletics Athlete of the Year, believes her European silver medal this year is a sign of her ability. But she admits poor training facilities could see her leave Scotland. "Unfortunately, I have to fight a bit of a battle to use the track at Meadowbank and we only have one in Edinburgh," she told BBC Scotland. Sharp, who failed to qualify for the women's 800m Olympic final, said that in terms of training facilities she felt the country was split in two. "I feel like the country is split into two: Glasgow is great. The've got the new indoor arena and the've done up Scotstoun. Then there's the Scottish Institute in Stirling but, apart from that, there's not much in Edinburgh. "So, it's not always easy but I love being based in Scotland and hopefully can continue to be." Sharp said she had enjoyed a "whirlwind" time on the track with silver at the European Championships and featuring at the London Olympics. The Olympics was still an amazing experience On the Olympics, she said: "It was an unbelievable experience and I'm so glad I was part of it. "I didn't perform as well as I wanted to in my semi-final but it was still an amazing experience and I'll use that experience at other major championships in future." Sharp's selection in the 800m for Team GB's athletics squad for the Olympics proved controversial, as she was chosen ahead of four women who had recorded faster times. "At the time I didn't let it bother me but looking back on it it took a lot out of me," she said. "Followng my heat (at the Olympics) I had to do a lot of media interviews and a lot of the questions were "do you think you've justified your selection". "Without realising it, I was quite mentally tired from my semi-final and a huge weight had been removed from my shoulders by getting through. "Maybe I didn't realise how tired I was." Sharp aims to clock a time below two minutes for the 800m, adding: "Everyone says that if you keep that number in your head then it's not going to happen. "If you just forget about it and run, then it'll come. I thought I would've done it this year but unfortunately, I had six weeks out in January so I was a wee bit behind in my training. "But I've still had a great year; I've got half a second to go." The 22-year-old has played eight times this season, but has not featured since November's 4-0 Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat by Wigan. Oliver, who began his career with Sunderland but never appeared for the Premier League side, had a three-game loan spell with Hartlepool in 2014.

Jimmy Mubenga, 46, fell ill, according to the security firm that was escorting him on the plane on Tuesday. Keith Vaz, chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee, called for a full-ranging inquiry and Tom Brake MP wants the incident debated in Parliament. A post-mortem examination on Mr Mubenga has proved inconclusive. Scotland Yard said further tests were being carried out. Mr Mubenga's 16-year-old son Roland said he was "angry and upset" and has claimed "it wasn't a natural death". Mr Mubenga became unwell as he waited for the plane to leave Heathrow and was taken to the nearby Hillingdon Hospital, where he died. Mr Vaz told BBC London: "This is a shocking incident. "We need to know in a full-ranging inquiry why he was treated in the way he was treated. Why was he being deported while his family are still in the country? "What steps are being taken by the airline and the immigration services to make sure they checked his medical records? "These are very serious issues which affect every single person that is being deported." A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the death was being treated as "unexplained", adding: "At this early stage, we believe the deceased was being deported from the UK under escort by civilian security guards." BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said Mr Mubenga was being escorted by staff from the private security firm G4S. The company declined to say whether any action had been taken against staff. Mr Brake, chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary policy committee that deals with home affairs and justice, said: "We need to be absolutely certain that a proper risk assessment was carried out and we need to be certain the security firm that was used are using the appropriate restraint techniques, ones that don't endanger people's lives. "Last week I tabled an urgent question asking for matter to be debated in Parliament, and I hope that on Monday the Speaker will allow that to take place." The death is also being investigated by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman. The 26-year-old Argentine has signed a four-and-a-half year contract with the Championship club. Seagulls boss Gus Poyet told the club website: "Leo is that striker we have been looking to add for some time. "He will complement our existing strikers and enjoy playing with our wingers and creative players." Leo will fit in well to our style and identity and I am sure he will make us a stronger team Ulloa, who scored 29 goals for the Spanish second division side last season, recently obtained a Spanish passport which enables him to play in England. He flew Sussex at the weekend for talks with Albion and attended their 2-1 win over Derby County on Saturday. Poyet continued: "He's a typical number nine box player. "He's good in the air, he will hold the ball up and he has good movement around the box when the ball is wide. "He will fit in well to our identity and I am sure he will make us a stronger team." And the Brighton boss says he has been monitoring Ulloa for some time. "I know him from Argentina and I follow Spanish football closely so I have been aware of him for a while. "The problem was that he was not available because he didn't have a European passport. "However that situation has changed since the last transfer window. "As soon as we knew there was a chance of getting the passport sorted, the recruitment system moved very quickly." In total Ulloa scored 48 goals in 102 appearances for Almeria after joining the club from Castellon in 2010. He will only be available for Brighton's league match at Birmingham City on Saturday when he receives international clearance. The Scottish Public Services Ombudsman has also told the health board to improve training for staff. The ombudsman upheld the complaint on behalf of a mother who complained about the monitoring of her baby daughter. The infant had had hydrocephalus, a condition which sees an abnormal build-up of fluid on the brain. An independent expert said there were failures in recording and interpreting the baby girl's head circumference, resulting in missed opportunities to record her steep growth rate and refer her for further investigation. The ombudsman recommended that NHS Grampian provide training to staff on the guidance in place for monitoring, recording and analysing growth measurements, and put in place better clinical supervision and support for health visitors. It also asked NHS Grampian to apologise to the baby's family. NHS Grampian said it fully accepted the findings and had implemented the recommendations. The King Rat snake was reported as lost from Main Street in Sandhead near Stranraer on Monday. It is described as being about 5ft 6in long and is black with yellow bands about every three inches along its body. The snake is not classed as venomous and poses "no threat to the public". Police said it was likely to move towards heat. PC Hayley Buchanan said: "Anyone coming across the snake should call Police Scotland at Stranraer on 101. "The snake is slow moving and has a distinctive yellow dot between its eyes." The move follows talks between the union and employer Babcock Marine. Industrial action began in March, following union claims that Babcock was "undermining" workers' rights as part of a campaign to outsource work. Unite said the decision to end the action was taken at a meeting of shop stewards and workplace representatives. The union said a proposed new accord between Unite and Babcock Marine would be put to a mass meeting of union members on Tuesday. Shop stewards are recommending that it should be accepted. Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said talks with senior executives from Babcock Marine on Monday had been "constructive". Unite regional officer Stephen Deans added: "As always, it's our members who will make the final decision on whether this accord goes far enough in meeting their concerns, but Unite believes it is a solid foundation to build a better partnership in the future." The Faslane base on the Clyde is home to the UK's fleet of Trident nuclear submarines. The union represents a range of workers at Faslane and Coulport, including cleaners, housekeepers, logistics operatives, drivers and mail staff. It also has members in radiation monitoring and strategic weapons support roles. Federal prosecutors said that Ty Warner "went to great lengths" to hide more than $3m (£1.9m) of income in a secret Swiss bank account. Mr Warner's lawyer said his client had agreed to pay a $53m fine. The 69-year-old Illinois tycoon's net worth is estimated by Forbes at $2.6bn, ranking him the 209th richest American. Mr Warner's attorney, Gregory Scandaglia, said his client accepted "full responsibility for his actions with this plea agreement". "This is an unfortunate situation that Mr Warner has been trying to resolve for several years now," Mr Scandaglia told the Associated Press. The charges come as a result of a clampdown by US authorities on its citizens hiding money abroad to avoid paying tax - particularly in Switzerland. It is alleged that Mr Warner, who also has a reputation for philanthropy, set up a Swiss bank account in 1996 with the UBS financial services company. He failed to tell his accountants or the US tax authorities about the existence of the account, according to a press release by the US Attorney's office in Chicago. The prosecutor's statement did not mention a $53m fine. Beanie Babies are a soft toy, popular in the 1990s, that sell for between $5 and $7. Allen Adamson, from the branding firm Landor Associates, said the toy company could be affected by the "negative buzz" of the case. "It's so jarring because this product feels so sweet, so innocent," he said. However, branding expert Laura Ries, of Ries & Ries, disagreed. "People may not buy [a Beanie Babies toy] because it's not as cool as it was. But I don't think consumers care the owner didn't pay his taxes and is in big legal trouble." The claim relates to items sold via Amazon's "fulfilment" scheme, whereby third parties list their goods on the retail giant's site, store their inventory in its warehouses and rely on it for deliveries. Apple warns the alleged fakes are potentially life-threatening. But it is suing one of the vendors rather than Amazon itself. The defendant, New York-based Mobile Star LLC, could not be reached for comment and has yet to file its own legal paperwork. "Mobile Star has been deceiving Apple customers and putting their safety at risk by selling counterfeit power adapters," an Apple spokesman told the BBC. "They have ignored our repeated requests, so we are taking legal action to get them to stop." Amazon says it takes such matters seriously. "Amazon has zero tolerance for the sale of counterfeits on our site," a spokeswoman told the BBC. "We work closely with manufacturers and brands and pursue wrongdoers aggressively." Details of the case were first reported by Patently Apple. Apple said it had bought "well over" 100 iPhone devices, own-brand power adapters and charging cables, and had found almost 90% of them were fakes. "Unlike genuine Apple products, they are not subjected to industry-standard consumer safety testing and are poorly constructed with inferior or missing components, flawed design and inadequate electrical insulation," it said. "These counterfeits have the potential to overheat, catch fire and deliver a deadly shock to consumers while in normal use." It added that customers might be fooled into believing the products were safe because Amazon was perceived to be one of the US's most trustworthy companies. "Consumers, relying on Amazon.com's reputation, have no reason to suspect the power products they purchased... are anything but genuine." One blogger who has previously highlighted what he calls "Amazon's fraudulent seller problem" suggested Apple should be more aggressive in its effort to tackle the issue. "I can certainly see why Apple is suing Mobile Star," wrote John Gruber. "But why not sue Amazon too? "This is shameful. I've known for a while never to trust anything merely 'fulfilled by Amazon', but I'm actually surprised that even the 'Apple' branded chargers... are dangerous counterfeits as well." Savill's has reported the market will then adjust, and top-end properties can be expected to see 4% annual increases from next year. The agency forecast that the mainstream market can be expected to see a rise of 3.5% in values through 2015. It said this would happen faster than in other parts of the UK. Another major agency, DJ Alexander, warned buyers not to rush into transactions before the tax changes, as they could spend more that way. Managing director David Alexander said: "Most vendors will be forced, from 1 April, to drop their prices to make their properties more saleable. "In all likelihood, it will make more sense to buy after 31 March for anyone seeking a property priced at £750,000 or more." Savill's specialises in selling up-market property, and said the segment costing more than £400,000 had outperformed the mainstream market in recent years because it was less dependent on mortgages. Last year, premium city properties rose by 5% in value, though rural area prices fell. The strongest markets were Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen. The falling oil price is expected to hit prices in Aberdeen but, at current valuations, Savill's said the city's property market can absorb that in the medium term. Across Scotland, the agency's report claimed rising prices can be expected to stall this year due to the replacement of stamp duty by the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT), set by Holyrood. Starting from 1 April, it means the transaction tax bill will be higher in Scotland than the rest of Britain for properties changing hands for more than £333,000. From next year, however, Savill's modelling suggests that price inflation will return, and by 2019 the premium and the mainstream market will have risen by a similar level of 17.5%. Faisal Choudhry, Savill's head of research in Scotland, said: "Despite the challenges facing the top end, there is a more positive outlook for the Scottish residential property market as a whole, due to the establishment of three important foundations. "These are the introduction of favourable LBTT rates for the majority of buyers, a dissipation of interest rate fears in the short term and the continuation of gradual economic growth. "Looking further ahead to 2016, we expect more conventional market conditions to prevail, with mainstream market recovery fuelling buyer activity further up the market from next year onwards. "The prime market is expected to absorb the turbulence of recent political and taxation challenges and to continue the value growth that had been under way prior to the referendum." Many stress the fact that counter-demonstrations attracted many more attendees than those of Patriotic Europeans against the Islamisation of the West (Pegida), with the exception of Dresden, where the group originated and brought 18,000 out onto the streets on Monday. "Pegida flops away from Dresden," says the headline in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung. The paper's report on the anti-Islam demonstration in Berlin says most of the protesters "have a German flag in their hand, are on average over 60 and often have a little dog with them". It also describes the protesters' placards as "rather pathetic when compared to the sea of flags and banners reaching into the night sky at the counter-demonstration on the other side of the crowd barrier". The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports the rally of Pegida's Cologne branch as being a "scattered little bunch", and adds that many protesters are known from previous demonstrations in nearby Duesseldorf and Bonn. The paper's report mocks some demonstrators' slogans - such as "Potatoes not doner kebabs" as "openly Dadaist [surreal]". "Failed spectacularly" is the verdict of The Tageszeitung on Pegida's apparent attempt to expand outside of Dresden, adding that it appears restricted to the far right. "Many thousands of peaceful democrats show a few hundred xenophobes their limits," the paper says, describing it as a "beautiful and important signal". But it also warns that there is still "silent sympathy" around for Pegida's aims. "The danger represented by Pegida has not been banished, even in the west of Germany." Germany's biggest newspaper, Bild, comes out strongly in opposition to the anti-"Islamisation" movement. With the banner headline "No to Pegida", the tabloid's top story is an appeal by dozens of celebrities calling on Germans to oppose the group. Its website urges readers to join an online petition against Pegida. "We don't need the ideology that underlies these demonstrations," the tabloid says in an editorial penned by Julian Reichelt. "And above all: We don't want them." He says Muslims living in Germany are "free people in a free country, and no one ought to tell them how to live", adding that even "ultra-strict, backward" forms of Islam have to be tolerated as long as they do not break the law. Some commentators, however, while condemning Pegida's ideas and aims, warn that its root causes - such as economic dislocation and disaffection with mainstream politics - need to be faced and understood. A commentary by Berthold Kohler in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung praises the Church's decision to switch off Cologne cathedral's lights in protest against Pegida, arguing that the group's aim "cannot be reconciled with Christianity". However, he adds, both the Church and Germany's politicians will have to find a way to solve the "justified fears and complaints" that are driving some into Pegida's arms. Similarly, author Monica Maron, writing in Die Welt, says not all of Pegida's supporters should be demonised as "neo-Nazis", even though some clearly are. She says many are justifiably concerned at what she sees as the German authorities' failure to defend secularism against conservative Islamic religious groups, and should be taken seriously. "We have to relearn how to tolerate other opinions without viewing their representatives purely as enemies and scum," Maron writes. "Pegida is not the illness, it is the symptom."

Its will look at developing a "strong" industrial strategy, encouraging innovation, boosting productivity and creating opportunities for the young. Mrs May said that to take advantage of "opportunities" presented by Brexit "we need to have our whole economy firing". The committee is made up of almost half of Mrs May's cabinet. It includes Chancellor Philip Hammond, Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox and Work and Pensions Secretary Damian Green. Those not attending include Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and Brexit secretary David Davis, as well as the secretaries of state for the Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the Home Office. The newly-created Economy and Industrial Strategy Committee will look at addressing long-term productivity growth, encouraging innovation and focusing on the industries and technologies that could give the UK a competitive advantage. Speaking ahead of the meeting in Downing Street, Mrs May said she wanted her government to "build an economy that works for everyone, not just the privileged few" - a pledge she made in her first speech as prime minister. She added: "That is why we need a proper industrial strategy that focuses on improving productivity, rewarding hardworking people with higher wages and creating more opportunities for young people so that, whatever their background, they go as far as their talents will take them. "We also need a plan to drive growth up and down the country - from rural areas to our great cities." The meeting comes after the government unexpectedly postponed plans to build the first new UK nuclear plant in 20 years so the situation could be reviewed. Contracts were to be signed last Friday after French firm EDF, which is financing most of the £18bn Hinkley Point project in Somerset, approved the funding at a board meeting. China is expected to fund one third of the project. But Business Secretary Greg Clark has said the government will "consider carefully" before backing it. Reports suggest Mrs May has national security concerns about China's role in the project, prompting China to say it will not tolerate "unwanted accusations" about its investments in the UK. Former Foreign Secretary Lord Hague has defended Mrs May's right to look afresh at the project. "While greater trade and investment with China is clearly beneficial for both countries and is to be encouraged, Theresa May is quite right to take the time necessary to evaluate the Chinese role in our nuclear power," he wrote in the Daily Telegraph. And former Conservative deputy prime minister Lord Heseltine said Mrs May's decision to review Hinkley Point did not mean she was "anti-infrastructure". "She as home secretary has not been that deeply involved in the detail. Now as prime minister she has a very different and much wider responsibility. "She's fully entitled to ask those basic questions; that is not anti-infrastructure, it is pro-national security," he told BBC Radio 4's World at One. The full list of attendees at Tuesday's committee included: The scam allowed leader John Disley, 46, of Hertfordshire, to lead a lavish lifestyle in Spain, the court heard. The group bought companies in trouble and used them to withdraw large sums of cash from the Royal Bank of Scotland just before cheques bounced. From their office near Preston they electronically moved the cash to other accounts, the city's crown court heard. Disley, whose office was in Little Hoole, claimed he was restructuring the businesses but instead stripped them of assets and used them to set up bank accounts, obtaining cash through fraudulent cheques, the court heard. When he was arrested he was convinced the scam would not be traced back to him and told detectives he was "more worried about it snowing". Disley, of Old House Lane, Kings Langley, earned his Marbella nickname from expats in Spain who saw him as a multi-millionaire living a champagne lifestyle, when in reality he was bankrupt. His lavish lifestyle included splashing out £30,000 for a palm tree at his villa. He was found guilty last month of conspiracy to defraud £675,937 from the Royal Bank of Scotland, as well as £214,000 from a financial services company, between May and December 2010. Sentencing him to four-and-a-half years in prison at Preston Crown Court, Judge Heather Lloyd said: "Your arrogance was apparent when arrested. "You did not think for one moment that the prosecution would succeed. "You gave other people scripts to follow but the evidence against you was overwhelming and the jury saw right through you." Jonathan Stowell, 41, of Bradshawgate, Bolton, and Stuart Hegarty, 44, of Helston Drive, Nottingham, were convicted of the same charge after the seven-week trial. Disley's "right-hand woman" and personal assistant, Victoria Quinn, 40, from Accrington, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud in October. Stowell was sentenced to 15 months, Hegarty was jailed for 12 months and Quinn to two years. Disley was also disqualified from being a company director for eight years, Stowell for three years and Quinn for five years. Judge Lloyd said Disley could be "intimidating when crossed" and described Quinn as a "thoroughly dishonest woman" with a string of convictions for fraud and theft. Stowell would help Disley find the businesses to buy and exploit, while Hegarty knowingly paid in cheques from an account which had been closed for some time, the court heard. Royal Bank of Scotland bank manager Russell Alker, 39, of Preston, Lancashire, who worked at a branch in Wigan, was alleged to be an "inside man", but was cleared by the jury of any involvement in the fraud. Thomas Aldred, 24, of Preston, the ex-boyfriend of Disley's daughter, Laura, was also cleared. The convictions followed a two-year investigation by the Lancashire Constabulary Financial Investigation Department, during which inquiries were carried out across the country. Det Con Keith Allen said: "Disley believed he was above the law. "He portrayed himself as a legitimate multi-millionaire businessman when in fact he was a bankrupt who made his living by asset-stripping companies which were in financial difficulty. "It's not right that criminals like Disley should live beyond their means, essentially at the cost of law-abiding members of the community." A proceeds of crime hearing is scheduled for next March. New reporting features are being rolled out, along with other changes designed to combat the spread of misinformation. Facebook was widely criticised last month after some users complained that fake news had influenced the US presidential election. The new features include the ability to flag fake stories, as well as possible future changes to Facebook's algorithm. "We believe in giving people a voice and that we cannot become arbiters of truth ourselves, so we're approaching this problem carefully," the company said in its announcement. The social network has added a new option titled "it's a fake news story" to its reporting feature, which is currently used for spam or other "annoying" content. It is also introducing a label for "disputed" stories, which it says it will refer to third-party fact-checking organisations. The fact-checkers must sign up to a code of principles to take part. There are currently 43 signatories, including news organisations in several different countries. Poynter, which operates the scheme, said it was "rethinking" the application process in light of Facebook's decision. Facebook said stories which turned out to be fake after fact-checking would be labelled with a link explaining why, and they could also appear lower in people's social feed. Disputed stories will also warn users before they share a story which could be fake. The company said it was looking at other possible future features. One would examine if people were "significantly less likely" to share a post after actually reading the article. Facebook said it would attempt to discover if people who read a story, but then did not share it with their friends, were misled in some way. Facebook also said it was looking into penalising websites which tried to mimic major publishers, or misled readers into thinking they were a well-known news source. The girls, aged between 16 and 18, told the BBC that men often made sexual remarks when they travelled to school in a neighbouring village. The teenagers said local officials in Rewari district had failed to protect them. Police have now promised to provide better security for the girls. The government has also promised to upgrade the existing school in their village to higher-secondary level so they no longer have to commute to school. Views of sexual harassment in India On patrol with India's anti-harassment squad But the students, who have been drinking water but refusing food, said that they would not end their strike until they saw written orders. Some parents and students who are not on hunger strike have also joined the protest. "Almost every day, we face eve teasing [a local term for sexual harassment]," Sheetal, one of the 13 students, told BBC Hindi's Nitin Srivastava. "Should we stop studying? Should we stop dreaming? Are only rich people and their children allowed to dream? The government should protect us or open a higher-secondary school in our village." Another student, Sujata, said men "often try to touch us inappropriately". "They write our phone numbers on walls, make nasty comments. Actually much worse happens, but not everything can be described," she said. It's been a harrowing week for these girls as they demand better schooling options and safety. Their parents have also been protesting, putting aside their farm work and daily jobs. Haryana is one of the most backwards states in India in terms of gender ratio, and crimes against women are not uncommon. But this is probably the first time that young girls have decided to protest. They have found strong support from their community, including men who admit that women need to be treated equally. The mother of a protesting student said it was "painful to see these girls suffer". "These young girls face the kind of harassment that I can't even describe. When we complain to the police, they put pressure on us to take such cases back," she said. Rohtash Kumar, the father of a protesting girl, said the problem of harassment had existed for years. "It's the first time that girls have taken the matter in their own hands. The men in our village support their struggle," he said. He wants to see concrete assurances that changes promised by police and local officials will be implemented. "Such promises have not been fulfilled in the past. We want to be sure that our struggle doesn't go waste because of a false promise," Mr Kumar added. The Guinness World Record was last set in 2010, when 102 people met at Adventure Island in Southend in Essex to ride the Green Scream. The new attempt is a fundraiser for Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation's Keyhole Cancer Appeal. It will take place at the same venue and on the same rollercoaster at 09:30 BST. Organiser Adam Jones said people are volunteering for a number of reasons. "One man took part in the last world record and is coming from Scotland to take part again," he said. "And a woman told us her mother died from cancer at Southend Hospital and she wants to support the great work of the NHS." The previous record raised £20,000 for the hospital's Bosom Pals Appeal. Lucy Thomas-Clayton, from its charitable trust, said: "I'm hoping this event is going to be just as successful." Participants have been asked to give a minimum £100 in sponsorship. The hospital aims to raise £600,000 to provide a laparoscopic (keyhole surgery) theatre suite. Guinness World Records confirmed it had received an application about the record attempt. "We wish them... the most generous of weather conditions as possible," a spokesman said. The man was seen on the Queens Bridge at about 04:00 on Saturday and entered the water shortly afterwards. Police Scotland said its dive and marine unit would be carrying out searches near to Moncrieffe Island. Further air and land searches will also be conducted by police officers from the air support and operational support units. Rescuers from the police, coastguard, ambulance and fire service were called to the scene of the incident on Saturday. The inshore lifeboat from RNLI Broughty Ferry and a search and rescue helicopter were also involved. Contenders for The Royal Institute of British Architects' (RIBA) annual award include a monastery, two university libraries, an art gallery and a recycling facility. The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Leeds, on 21 April. The steel-framed circular glass building was designed by Bond Bryan Architects for the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), which is a joint venture with aircraft-maker Boeing. Brynmor Jones Library was redesigned by Sheppard Robson to modernise and connect two contrasting buildings - one from the 1950s, which had an Art Deco influence, while the other was a 1960s design in the brutalist style. Doma Architects redeveloped a Victorian house, opening up new living areas for a family with young children. The highlight of the home is a "quirky and contemporary version" of the lean-to, which holds the staircase. Twelve architects and master-planners developed a honeycomb-style exterior made of aluminium and glass, which was inspired by the surrounding historic buildings, for the University of Sheffield's Faculty of Engineering. Make Architects, asked by insurance company Hiscox to create a "beautiful but functional building", created a design influenced by the city's ancient walls and the former hay and wool market that existed on the site until the 1920s. Humberston Park Special School, which serves pupils aged two to 19, was designed by Hodson Architects and is divided into "a pair of pavilions" with intricate folded roofs and glazed lanterns. The design of the library by architects ADP aimed to complement the fact it sits between two Grade II listed churches and the University of Leeds' Grade I listed Parkinson Building. Fuse Studios's brief by the college was to design a sustainable building providing plenty of natural light. Solar panels have been installed on the south-facing saw-tooth shaped roof. TSP Architects said they used sustainably sourced wood to create a 123m-long and 42m-high building, which is believed to be the largest timber frame structure of its type in Europe. Another commission by architects Hodson Architects. This time the firm designed a private detached white house on a large plot, which features a hall with two glazed walls and a raised seat/pergola outside. Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios intended to create a tranquil space for the nuns at the Abbey who had asked for the monastery to be remodelled for the 21st century, which was economic to run while being environmentally-friendly. Two architect firms, Simpson and Brown and Ushida Findlay Architects, together won a design competition in 2010 to remodel the entire gallery. They created a new "secret gallery" in the ceramic-clad roof-top space, as well as a new garden entrance and balcony to the west. The England Under-19 international has signed a four-year deal with the Premier League side. Cook, 19, made his Leeds debut in 2014 and won the Football League's Young Player of the Year award in April. Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake said: "We're pleased to be bringing one of the country's brightest prospects to the club." Stagecoach West wants to hire a Zumba instructor to run "mini workouts" at the station for bus drivers, people waiting for buses and local workers. Charlotte Potter, from the firm, said: "It will be once a month to start off, then maybe every week or twice a week." Depending on the level of interest, the firm is hoping to introduce Zumba Wednesdays this summer. Zumba is a Latin dance-inspired fitness programme created in Colombia that has become a global fitness craze. "It was something we came up with in the office and we thought 'Well, everyone loves Zumba' and it's great for people of all abilities and ages," said Ms Potter. "People can come along and join in for five or 10 minutes while they're waiting for their bus. "It's an opportunity for people to let their hair down and have a bit of fun." The bus and coach operator said it had already received emails from people saying "they'd be up for it". But it said it wanted to gauge interest before introducing Zumba Wednesdays "throughout the region". Michael Lever, 43, strangled Caroline Lever at hospital accommodation at Law Hospital, Carluke, while she was pregnant between 1997 and July 1998. He was also convicted of attacking her son between July 2001 and March 2004 and his 16-year-old daughter between January 2008 and January 2010. Glasgow Sheriff Court heard the General Medical Council had been informed. Mrs Lever, 42, told the court Lever moved in to the flat she shared with her son, Patrick George, at Dowanhill Street, Glasgow, within months of them becoming a couple. She recalled the time when he attacked her after they moved to hospital accommodation at Law Hospital. The witness confirmed Lever knew she was pregnant and she had no memory of how the incident began. Mrs Lever told the jury: "He strangled me over a table." In his evidence Mr George described how he recalled Lever strangling his mother. He told the court: "I was scared that he was going to kill her." The court also heard of an incident when Lever held a knife to his own throat during an argument with his wife and threatened to kill himself. The incident, which took place at Sydenham Road, Glasgow, was also seen by Mr George and his mother, who were said to be scared. The court heard that when the family lived in Denholm in the Scottish borders, Lever slapped Mr George on the side of the face for taking one of his university books with him to school. Sophie Lever, 16, also gave evidence against her father and told how she was hit by a can of beer after an argument. She told the jury that the family were living in Marchmont Terrace, Glasgow, when the assault happened. Lever, from Nether Auchendrane, Ayr, denied the charges but was found guilty by a jury at Glasgow Sheriff Court. That dismal description comes from the country's own Finance Minister, Alexander Stubb. New figures for the economy's performance in 2015, showed that it managed to avoid a fourth consecutive year of declining economic activity. Even so, it was very lacklustre growth and the longer picture remains pretty bleak. The broadest measure of that, GDP, is still about 7% below the high it reached at the end of 2007, just before the global financial crisis. Most, though not all, eurozone countries have got back to those earlier levels and a bit above. Even one country that was bailed out, Ireland, is among those relatively strong performers. Finland's disappointing performance has also shown up in the unemployment figures, which rose from 6.2% of the workforce in early 2008 to 9.5% in the most recent figures. So who is to blame? The slightly flippant answer is: the late Steve Jobs, founder of Apple. But there is a serious point behind that - well two actually, although it's not the whole story of Finland's economic troubles. In 2014 Mr Stubb, who was the prime minister at the time, told a newspaper that: "Steve Jobs took our jobs." Not literally of course. What he meant was that Apple products had created serious challenges for two very important Finnish industries. One was forestry - in particular, paper. It's a huge industry with a long history in Finland. The country's extensive forests are not just pretty; they are a very valuable commercial resource. But Finland has been affected by what an independent economic research agency in Helsinki (ETLA) called "the reduction of demand for print paper due to the substitution of print media by internet services". It's not just Apple's doing of course, but the company is a key player in that development. Finland's other Apple-related casualty is Nokia, which incidentally began life as a paper producer in the 19th Century. Nokia branched out and eventually became the world's biggest supplier of mobile phone handsets. But it failed to respond to the challenge presented by Apple's iPhone and other smartphones. It's just one company, but a huge one that overshadowed a small economy. According to the ETLA report: "Its direct contribution accounts for 1/3 of the GDP decline and its shedding of employment for 1/5 of the reduction of total employment between 2008 and 2014." The impact is even bigger if you include the wider technology sector of which Nokia is a part. So there you have it. Finland's economic troubles are due to Steve Jobs and the business he created. Well, no. There have been a few other things going on too. Read more: Finland country profile Listen: Business Daily: Finland's long economic winter There has been another external problem, this one supplied by one of Finland's neighbours, Russia. Not for the first time, trouble across the eastern border has made itself felt in the domestic Finnish economy. The collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s hit Finnish exports. So have the more recent problems in Russia, which were the result of lower oil prices and Western sanctions related to the crisis in Ukraine. Russia's trade retaliation against the EU has also hit Finland, as it banned some EU imports. To take one example, for the country's leading dairy business, Valio, that was a serious blow. There are other issues that can't be blamed on bad luck descending from overseas. The population is ageing. That means a lower proportion of the population is working, generating wealth and paying income taxes. There is also an issue with competitiveness. One measure is known as unit labour costs. According to data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, that rose by 25% between 2007 (just before the crisis) and 2014. Wages continued to rise after the crisis while productivity, the amount produced by each worker, declined. The government is seeking to tackle these issues with a range of reforms to business, benefits and employment intended to reduce labour costs. A related issue is the very large share of state spending in Finnish GDP - the largest in the OECD (which is made up mainly of rich countries). That partly reflects increased spending due to higher unemployment and an older population. It also means taxes are relatively high. The government's strategy for addressing competitiveness is sometimes called "internal devaluation", which means in essence taking steps to reduce costs for business. It's an alternative to devaluing the national currency to improve competitiveness, an option that is not available because Finland uses the euro. It was widely recognised that one potential risk of a currency union was the loss of a flexible currency to respond to economic developments that affect different members differently - sometimes called idiosyncratic or asymmetric shocks. So would Finland's economic problems have been any milder if there had been a national currency to devalue? Perhaps. Exchange rates are determined by financial markets, but it is certainly possible that bad news about the economy would have weakened the currency and given something of a boost to competitiveness. The ETLA report suggested things might have been different: "The weakness of growth in Finland can best be explained by a series of exceptional negative shocks in combination with a too weak capacity of the economy to improve its cost competitiveness in the absence of exchange rate flexibility." It's a nuanced report. The conclusions of Tuomas Mallinen, an economist at Helsinki University, are more stark: "The main blame on our economic woes should be placed where it belongs, namely on the euro membership." This view is rejected by the governor of the Bank of Finland, Erkki Liikanen, who sits on the European Central Bank committee that makes monetary policy decisions. He told the Daily Telegraph: "If we had a little weaker Finnish markka (the national currency before the introduction of the euro), I wouldn't believe that Nokia would beat iPhones or that young people would suddenly start to read printed books and newspapers, thus creating demand for the products of Finnish paper mills. Our challenges are based on structural facts. An adjustment of our currency would not make up for those challenges." Finland continues to struggle with a battery of forces that have hit its economy since the international crisis. Still, it's worth recalling that, as the OECD said in a recent assessment, "Finland enjoys a high level of income and well-being" and despite the rise in unemployment "social safety nets keep income inequality low". It's just that if Finland had adjusted better to all the shocks, incomes would probably be quite a bit higher. David Nugent opened the scoring with a header from Tom Ince's cross before Bradley Johnson smashed in a second. Wolves winger Ivan Cavaleiro was sent off for an off-the-ball incident, but Ben Marshall fired into the roof of the net to make it 2-1 at half-time. But Craig Bryson put in Jonny Russell's cut-back to secure the points and move Gary Rowett's side up to ninth place. Derby had gone three weeks without a win, but started the brighter side and took the lead after 12 minutes when Nugent planted a header beyond goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne. Johnson doubled the Rams' lead midway through the second half when he ran onto Russell's whipped cross and found the net with a powerful finish. Russell nearly got on the score sheet himself when a loose ball fell to him from a corner, but his attempt was cleared off the line. Wolves' task was then made much harder when Cavaleiro was shown a straight red card by referee Chris Kavanagh. Marshall beat Scott Carson from Nouha Dicko's pass to give them hope on the stroke of half-time, but Bryson benefitted from another Russell run and cross to put the game beyond the away side, who stay 15th after a third game without a win. Derby manager Gary Rowett: "The attitude was excellent and we had lots of chances and there were a lot of good performances out there. "I thought we hunted the ball down really well, I've been critical of us out of possession and I thought we were much better today. "But we need to stop giving stupid goals away, that was the disappointment before half-time. "I think if you have control of the football you should be looking to penetrate the opposition, whether that's a pass, or a run. I'm not a big fan of keeping possession for possession's sake." Wolves manager Paul Lambert: "We get it back to 2-1 and we are in the game but it's dead difficult when you are down to 10 men but credit to the team, we never capitulated, but the first two goals were really poor and then the sending off makes it even harder." On Ivan Cavaleiro's red card: "I can't defend it, he's a young lad who has just moved to this country and he's a talented footballer but I can't sit here and defend it. "I've seen it for myself and as soon as you do that you know the consequences." Match ends, Derby County 3, Wolverhampton Wanderers 1. Second Half ends, Derby County 3, Wolverhampton Wanderers 1.

The club said it would be inviting Danny Simpson to contribute to an internal hearing this week. The 28-year-old former Manchester United player avoided jail after he was found guilty of the attack. He was ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Monday. Simpson was arrested on 29 December after police had been called to reports of a row at a house in Worsley, Greater Manchester. During his trial, he had denied trying to strangle his ex-girlfriend and mother of his child, Stephanie Ward. Ms Ward later withdrew her statement and did not support the prosecution. On Tuesday, the Foxes said they had now noted Simpson's sentence. A statement read: "Now that legal proceedings have concluded, Danny will be invited to contribute to an internal hearing in the coming days where the extent of any club disciplinary measures will be determined." Simpson, from Eccles, Greater Manchester, has also played for Newcastle and QPR. He previously said he intends to appeal against the conviction.

In an exclusive interview, Ricky says he is still receiving death threats from people who believe the claims. In March, a family court judge dismissed the claims - also posted in internet videos - as "baseless". She said the children had been forced to make the allegations by their mother and her new partner. Ricky - the BBC is not publishing his full name in order to protect his children - told the Victoria Derbyshire programme the first he knew about the allegations was last September when he was told to go to a police station. The claims - that he led a "satanic cult" in north London and that he and other members carried out the abuse - had been made by his children in mobile phone recordings and two police interviews. Their names and videos of them making the allegations were also widely circulated online by their mother and campaigners. "My children, my two children, eight and nine, they'd said that I'd sexually abused them and I was selling them to people in this satanic cult thing. They named 60, 70, 80 people," he said. "They'd said we were killing babies, I was shipping them in, we would cut the babies' throats and drain their blood and then would drink the blood. It's just horrific upon horrific detail." Delivering her judgement at the High Court, Mrs Justice Pauffley said the children had been forced to concoct accounts of horrific events and that their stories were a result of relentless emotional and psychological pressure and significant physical abuse by their mother's new partner in collaboration with their mother. Ricky said imagining what his children had been through was what he found most difficult. "We're talking about their heads, mixed up, messed up, it's just sick," he said. "Having to go and watch these videos when your own children say these things about you, imagine what the children must have had to do in their own psyche, their own minds, to eventually give up to beatings and stuff to say this stuff." Family court proceedings are normally confidential but in this case the judge took the unusual decision to publish her judgement. In it, she exonerated the father and all the other people alleged to be involved, stating that the claims were "baseless" and that those who sought to perpetuate them were "evil and/or foolish". But Ricky is still suffering abuse from the public. He said: "I get death threats. Today, yesterday, still. Comments, 'paedo', whatever. I understand, I get it. "What we have is a 77-page judgement totally clearing me 100%." The children have been taken into care and Ricky hopes to obtain custody at a future date. Ricky said when he was cleared, "my thought was, 'OK, let's go and start to take things forward seeing [the] children more.'" The judge said online material about the children had been viewed four million times around the world and this could cause them distress in years to come. Ricky says there are court orders regarding the publishing of online material. "But they are for UK, which is why online it's like the wild, wild West," he said. "You have people from around the world who have downloaded them then re-uploaded them and nothing can be done. I would understand it if there was truth to it. But it hasn't happened. "We don't know the long-term impact [on the children]. With a lot of patience, a lot of love, I'm hoping if you can have a good understanding yourself and educate them about things and give them wisdom and knowledge in a caring environment, I truly think it's going to be OK. "There will always be a shadow but it's not going to overrule our lives." Ricky and the children's mother, who were not married, separated in 2006, after which Ricky says she began obstructing access to the children. Over five years of private proceedings, he said he saw seven judges on nine different occasions as she continually breached orders to allow him to see the children. He said during this time the mother made various allegations about him - but that these were never properly investigated by the court. The Victoria Derbyshire programme approached the mother and partner for a response but did not get a reply. The Metropolitan Police in Barnet and Camden said it was working together with the support of Barnet and Camden councils to investigate allegations concerning articles and videos posted on the internet. Victoria Derbyshire is broadcast weekdays from 09:15-11:00 BST on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel. Follow the programme on Facebook and Twitter, and find all our content online.

Ali died last Friday at the age of 74 in hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. World leaders will be among thousands attending Friday's procession and memorial service in Louisville, Kentucky, where Ali was born. The White House said Mr Obama and his wife Michelle will be at daughter Malia's high school graduation. They will send a letter to the Ali family with White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, who knew Ali. Obituary: Muhammad Ali Muhammad Ali - in his own words World pays tribute to boxing legend Bob Gunnell, a spokesman for the Ali family, said Mr Obama and Ali's widow Lonnie had spoken by telephone. Among those attending will be the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and King Abdullah of Jordan. British former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis and actor Will Smith, who once portrayed Ali on screen, will be among the pallbearers. Former US President Bill Clinton and actor Billy Crystal are also set to speak. After Ali's death, Mr Obama said he kept a pair of his gloves in his private study below the photograph of Ali beating Sonny Liston in 1964. Ali would be remembered, he said, "not just as skilled a poet on the mic as he was a fighter in the ring, but a man who fought for what was right. A man who fought for us." On Thursday, a traditional Muslim funeral service will be held at the 18,000-seat Freedom Hall, where Ali fought and won his first professional fight in 1960. People queued from the middle of the night on Tuesday to get the first tickets. "I am here to get tickets for my grandson. He is eight," Angela Smith Ward, a former Army employee, told Agence France-Presse. "I want him to know that you can be great no matter where you come from." On Friday, from 09:00 local time (13:00 GMT), the coffin will be taken on a procession through the streets of Louisville, passing by locations historically important to Ali. Ali's funeral will then take place at a large concert and sports arena, the KFC Yum! Center, from 14:00. The service will be open to the public. The boxer will be buried in a private service at the city's Cave Hill Cemetery. The funeral will be broadcast live on the internet.

US President Barack Obama will not attend a memorial to the late boxer Muhammad Ali on Friday, the White House says.

The Red Flag Anti-Corruption Party has accused Lutfur Rahman's party of electoral fraud, corruption and political smears. His opponents claim voters were intimidated at polling stations and that some were told how to vote. The mayor has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Speaking to BBC London 94.9 on Tuesday, the mayor, who was re-elected on 22 May, said: "I have done, and we have done, nothing wrong." The petition has been brought by four people who are now applying for a hearing at the High Court. It claims: Allegations have also been made against returning officer John Williams. He is alleged to have allowed people to canvas for votes inside polling stations, to accompany voters into the compartment when they cast their vote and to leave campaign material in and around voting compartments. Andy Elram, Red Flag party member who stood against Mr Rahman in the election, said: "If the court decides there should be a recount and the numbers don't add up, they're not consistent, then the court has the power to order another election." Mr Williams has said he will not comment specifically on the petition as he is taking legal advice. However, he says the measures he put in place for the elections were the toughest available within the current law. He added that he worked closely with the Metropolitan Police and the Electoral Commission to combat fraud and to investigate fully any allegations that had surfaced. This petition is the latest in a series of investigations into Tower Hamlets. The Metropolitan Police is investigating 84 complaints into the election. It said in the majority of cases, no criminal offences had been committed. Separately, the government is looking into claims made by BBC One's Panorama programme that the mayor had disproportionately funded Bengali groups in order to get their vote in his first term in office. The Electoral Commission has also launched a review into the count.

A petition calling for last month's mayoral election in Tower Hamlets to be held again has been submitted to the High Court.

Defender Daniel Ayala (ankle) is still out, while Adam Clayton or Gaston Ramirez could start in midfield. Wolves midfielder James Henry (hamstring) could come back into contention, while manager Kenny Jackett may recall winger Rajiv van La Parra. Mike Williamson (hamstring) and forward Michal Zyro (broken foot) are close to returns but are not likely to feature. Adrian Ashby, 49, from Alcester, is appealing against a local NHS decision in February which refused funding for a form of radiation therapy. He said the radionuclide therapy, costing up to to £50,000, could extend his life by two years. The NHS cluster responsible said it could not comment on individual cases. A spokesman for NHS Arden Cluster, which has this week been replaced by three clinical commissioning groups, said all requests for treatments not routinely commissioned were carefully considered by a panel of clinicians. He said an appeal process was in place and there were also other possible routes to funding, including a request to the West Midlands Cancer Drugs Fund. Mr Ashby said the letter from NHS Coventry and Warwickshire refusing funding for radionuclide therapy had been difficult to accept. "It sent me to a low I've never had before, even worse than being diagnosed with cancer," he said. "It's the last treatment available to me, there's nowhere else to go and when specialists say you've got to have this, you don't expect it to be refused." Diagnosed with carcinoid syndrome seven years ago, he was told by doctors at the time he had between three and five years to live. He currently has tumours on his liver, stomach, bowel and elsewhere. He said fundraising efforts by friends, and even total strangers, in Alcester had moved him "to tears". In less than two months more than £15,000 had been raised through charity boxes and a range of events, including photo shoots and music nights. Further events and an online auction are also planned over the next few weeks. "It's the only thing that's given me the strength to carry on," Mr Ashby said. "One way or another I'll get the treatment, even if it eventually means I'll have to sell my house. Thankfully the fundraising means I don't have to do that quite yet." Money so far raised by the Adrian Ashby League of Friends means that he expects to undergo his first course of radionuclide therapy by the end of May. Describing the decision in February as "unjust", Mr Ashby said his consultants at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham have lodged an official appeal to the new clinical commissioning group. He said if the money is refunded by the NHS, he will donate it to cancer charities. Paul Willis also told MPs on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee that there would be "no difference in driveability". He said there was no evidence that the emissions scandal would hit the resale value of affected cars. Because there was no loss, UK owners would not need compensating, he said. "When there is no loss then there is no need for compensation," Mr Willis said. That stance was in sharp contrast with the US, where drivers of affected cars are being offered vouchers worth $1,000 for their trouble. VW's use of computer software in diesel cars, which gave a false emissions reading when they were being tested by regulators, was exposed in the US last year. VW plans to start fixing cars in the UK from March, with customers being told it should take less than an hour. Mr Willis also told MPs that it will take another six months before the report by US law firm Jones Day into the emissions scandal was completed. However, an update will be issued at the end of March. The German company is finding the going more difficult in the US, where the scandal first erupted. On Tuesday, US regulators rejected VW's latest recall plans. The California Air Resources Board said the proposals did "not adequately address overall impacts on vehicle performance, emissions and safety". The board also said the proposed fix was not fast enough. Volkswagen chief executive Matthias Mueller was due to meet with the head of the Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday to discuss a remedy plan acceptable to regulators. He is in the US for the first time since the scandal erupted in September to attend the Detroit motor show. VW has admitted using what is known as a "defeat device" in 11 million cars and vans globally. It is a piece of software capable of cheating emissions tests to make the car appear more environmentally friendly when being tested in a laboratory. European police agency Europol said visas and passports were sold for up to £2,500 ($3,600) and sent across the EU, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Greek police said the criminal networks were also involved in smuggling people across borders. About 100 people are still wanted in Greece and other countries. Europol said the network was based in Athens and consisted of two criminal groups, one run by Sudanese people and another by Bangladeshis, and 16 people have been arrested in Greece. Both groups forged passports, national ID cards, Schengen visas, driving licences, asylum seekers' registration cards and residence permits, police said. What is a Schengen visa? Paris to create camp for migrants Ten suspects were arrested in the Czech Republic, where a separate group would send stolen or lost travel documents to Athens for the Bangladeshi and Sudanese groups to falsify. A police spokesman in the Czech Republic said seven migrants were also arrested for using forged documents. The Sudanese-led group helped up to 15 migrants a month enter the EU at a cost of up to nearly £4,000 ($5,800, €5,200) per head, Greek police said. In other developments in the migrant crisis across Europe on Tuesday: Hogan has succeeded Jacques Rudolph as the county's four-day format skipper with the South African retiring at the end of the 2017 season. The four-day game begins on Friday with Hogan part of an unchanged home squad. He missed their last game, a draw against Nottinghamshire, because of shoulder and shin injuries. Hogan has previously led Glamorgan in one Championship match, against Gloucestershire in Cardiff in 2016 when Rudolph was injured. "I have always wanted to captain a side as my career progressed," said Hogan. "I am not going to say that I am going to solve the world's problems but, with input from the coach and other players, I hope I can get the club moving forwards." Glamorgan will be looking to repeat the form of their recent One-Day Cup win over Kent at the Swansea venue, after losing their Championship match there last year against Northamptonshire by 251 runs. "It was a great day in Swansea against Kent, hopefully the pitch will be good for batting and we might see a bit of turn," said Glamorgan assistant coach David Harrison. The two teams have not met in the Championship since 2004. "Durham have got strong seamers, they've got an old Test player in Paul Collingwood, Keaton Jennings has done very well for them, and at England A and Test level so we'll do our homework," Harrison added. Durham arrive after a heavy defeat by an innings and 177 runs at Sussex. They are led by former England all-rounder Collingwood, but are without ex-England seamer Graham Onions because of a back injury. He is replaced in the visitors' squad by fast bowler Barry McCarthy, who returns from international duties with Ireland. Glamorgan (from): Rudolph, Selman, Bragg, Ingram, Cooke (wk), Donald, Carlson, Lloyd, Salter, De Lange, Hogan (c), Carey, Van der Gugten. Durham (from): Paul Collingwood (c), Keaton Jennings, Stephen Cook, Cameron Steel, Graham Clark, Paul Coughlin, Ryan Pringle, Stuart Poynter (wk), James Weighell, Chris Rushworth, Barry McCarthy, George Harding, Gavin Main. Christian Haschek's blog post about how he caught the thief has been viewed more than 100,000 times in five days. The scammer was using the same usernames elsewhere on the net, which made him easier to track down. Mr Haschek says he has "mixed feelings" about his victory. "On the one hand, this is someone who stole $500 from me and deleted all the accounts that I used to get back to him, he never answered my messages," he told the BBC. "I found out he had tried to scam loads of people and always with gift cards." However, the con artist appeared remorseful and said he was afraid. He seemed to come from a poor background and said he was a full-time student. "He is also just a kid who took a wrong turn," added Mr Haschek, who has not reported the man to the authorities. Mr Haschek advertised some Apple gift vouchers, which he had won in a competition, on various online message boards as he was unable to use them himself. The fake buyer who duped him agreed to pay for the vouchers in Bitcoin. He had decided to accept payment in the digital currency as he thought it would be less of an incentive for a scammer. The buyer told him he would pay once he had the gift voucher codes as proof that they were genuine. "The problem for the buyer is you never know if the cards are still valid after you pay - even if I had sold them I could have used the cards straight afterwards," he said. "He said I could be a scammer and he wasn't going to pay me until he got them… I could see that." Mr Haschek added that he had been unsuccessfully trying to sell the vouchers for four years. However, once the swindler had received the digital codes he used the vouchers straightaway, while trying to claim that the physical cards themselves had not been delivered. "I started sweating a lot because I had trusted him - I gave him the benefit of the doubt," Mr Haschek continued. "I realised he was a scammer when he started to delete his accounts." However, Mr Haschek said it took him four days to find his culprit. He discovered the scammer was using the same usernames on other sites, including recruitment websites, and was able to track down additional information about him, including the names of his friends and family. The fraudster stopped replying to his messages so eventually he sent a message to his mother and brother on Facebook explaining what he had done. "Ten minutes after Facebook said his brother read the message, the scammer was contacting me on Reddit again," Mr Haschek said. Mr Haschek added that the con artist sent a new gift card and apologised, saying he had acted because he had no money. Mr Haschek's advice to online traders is to use a traditional escrow service - where both the money and goods are exchanged via a third party. "I took the risk knowingly - but paying before you get something is always risky," he said. The 24-year-old utility back player, who prefers to play at centre, has scored 14 tries in 15 games so far this campaign. "We're really excited to have captured his signature," Red Devils head coach Ian Watson said. "He's got a great try-scoring record and deserves the chance to have a crack in Super League." The union flag was lowered at Camp Bastion, while Camp Leatherneck - the adjoining US base - was also handed over to Afghan control. Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain would never forget those who had died serving their country. The number of deaths of British troops throughout the conflict stands at 453. The death toll among US military personnel stands at 2,349. Mr Cameron tweeted: "I made a commitment that I would get our Armed Forces out of Afghanistan by 2015 and today sees the end of combat operations in the country. "We will always remember the courage of those who served in Afghanistan on our behalf and never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice." A spokesman for the Afghan Defence Ministry welcomed the handover, which he said "puts our capabilities into practice". "Afghan security forces have been leading the fight in ground operations in the country for two years now." The UK forces were part of a US-led coalition which toppled the ruling Taliban in 2001, following the 9/11 attacks in the US. After 9/11, US President George Bush had demanded that the Taliban hand over any leaders of al-Qaeda - the militant group which later claimed responsibility for the attacks - in Afghanistan, but the Taliban did not immediately comply. Taliban leaders called for talks, but US President George Bush said there would be "no negotiations" and military action started on 7 October. Camp Bastion, in Helmand province, has been the UK troops' main Afghan base since 2006. At the time it opened, the UK said its forces would be there to protect reconstruction of the country, but they got caught up in the struggle against the Taliban - which continues to fight and has carried out attacks in recent weeks. Helmand's Provincial Governor Naim Baluch said British forces and their allies had improved security and Afghanistan was grateful for their "courage and commitment". He said Afghans were now "ready to deliver security ourselves". Responding to the handover, Labour party leader Ed Miliband said: "All those who served did so to help ensure Afghanistan could no longer be used as a safe haven for terrorists." He added that Britain "must make sure that we continue to give the right support to the Afghan government both politically and through humanitarian aid, so that security and stability in Afghanistan can be maintained in the years to come". Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said UK support would continue through "institutional development", the Afghan National Army Officer Academy and development aid. Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Fallon accepted the Taliban had not been defeated, but said Afghan forces were now taking "full responsibilities". He said: "Our armed forces' tremendous sacrifice laid the foundations for a strong Afghan security force, set the security context that enabled the first democratic transition of power in the country's history, and stopped it being a launch pad for terrorist attacks in the UK." Asked about UK military operations, Mr Fallon said: "Mistakes were made militarily, mistakes were made by the politicians at the time and this goes back 10, 13 years. "Clearly the numbers weren't there at the beginning, the equipment wasn't quite good enough at the beginning and we've learnt an awful lot from the campaign. "But don't let's ignore what has been achieved." Mr Fallon said most of the UK forces would be home by Christmas, with a few hundred staying to help with training at the officer academy. "We're not going to send combat troops back into Afghanistan, under any circumstances," he added. Jonathan Beale, BBC defence correspondent, Camp Bastion The Union flag has been flying in Helmand since 2006. In a simple ceremony in Bastion - the now mostly empty main base for UK forces - it was lowered for the last time. The moment was a symbol - for Britain at least - that its war in Afghanistan was over. US marines alongside British and Afghan soldiers formed a guard of honour, saluting as the national anthems of all three countries were played over a loudspeaker. It was a US-led ceremony with speeches by American and Afghan commanders. There was no British voice. As American marching tunes were piped over the sound system, the Afghan flag stood on its own. The Afghans will now carry on a fight that's already claimed the lives of around 4,000 of their security forces this year. As for the few remaining British troops in Bastion - about 300 - they will be leaving for good soon. Read more from Jonathan Beale. The UK's command of Helmand was transferred to US forces in April and personnel, military vehicles and kit have been returning home in recent months. At the height of the war in 2009, about 10,000 UK troops were based at Camp Bastion and the UK's 137 patrol bases in southern Afghanistan. 140,000 UK troops served £21.5bn Total operational cost 453 UK troops killed 108 died in 2009 - the worst year 470 mentors staying on Professor Malcolm Chalmers, of defence think tank the Royal United Services Institute, warned that the Taliban was still "a very capable organisation". "What we have to do to prevent the country slipping back is support the Afghan state - the civilian side, making sure that teachers and doctors and nurses are paid, but also critically the armed forces," he said. "The Afghan army has come a long way in the last few years but they're still dependent on foreign money to pay their wages and right now there's a question mark over how long that will continue." Sir William Patey, former UK ambassador to Afghanistan, said the UK must keep its promise to financially support the Afghan government. "If we renege on that commitment and lose interest because the troops have gone, that will be a betrayal of what we've said we will do for the Afghan state and the Afghan people," he said. Lord Dannatt, former head of the Army, said the conflict had been "difficult and expensive in blood and treasure" for the UK, but Afghanistan now had a "chance of a decent future". Rear Adm Chris Parry, who helped plan the role of UK troops in Afghanistan, told the BBC that Britain's involvement had been "worth it", saying the country was now "more stable", was improving economically and had 40% more children going to school. But he said politicians in 2001 had not known what they wanted to achieve, the military had not had enough resources and there had been no "coherent military plan". However, Wilson thinks the broadside is unlikely to inspire the "miracle run" needed to save them from relegation. Thompson apologised to supporters for "abysmal" performances. "You'd think it would go the opposite way - the chairman saying they've got 13 games to save their professional careers, almost," said Wilson. Thompson's statement said that United squad members have "13 matches to preserve the club's Premiership status and redeem their own professional reputations". The Tannadice club are 13 points adrift at the foot of the table following Tuesday's 3-0 home defeat to Motherwell. "I would be hurt by it [the statement]," said Wilson, who began his career at United and ended a second spell with them last year. "I think you expect criticism and public criticism, probably from your manager. "But it's slightly strange when it comes from the chairman. However, I'm sure the players are under no illusions of where they are at the minute and what they've done to deserve to be there. "They've got to realise that at a time like this the chairman has every right to come out and criticise them." With just three wins from 25 league games, Thompson talked of "miserable failure on the pitch". "I wouldn't think that's the best way of inspiring a team to go on some sort of miracle run to get them up the table," Wilson told BBC Scotland. "It's different now from when I was there. They were used to relegation battles when I was first there as a kid. "When I went back the second time [in 2013] they were so successful and playing some great football. They'd won the Scottish Cup [in 2010] and we got back to the final [in 2014]; so it's a different support now and they expect success. "That's why the fans are turning. They expect the success and the quality of players like Stuart Armstrong and Nadir Ciftci [both sold to Celtic last year] - and things coming through. "At the minute they're not getting either results or those players coming through. So, they'll be really disappointed. Before long they'll probably start calling for someone's head." Prior to Tuesday's loss, manager Mixu Paatelainen had put together a three-game unbeaten sequence. "A couple of weeks ago I was thinking 'they'll go on this little run now' because teams have gone on a run and got away from United," added Wilson. "I really thought they would go on a run. But after the other night's performance against Motherwell I think that was the last straw and I think they've consigned themselves to life in the Championship next year." The Wye and Usk Foundation said projects to restore habitats on the river and combat pollution were behind the recovery. Work has included building fish passes and schemes to tackle acid rain. The foundation said the river "bucks the trend" seen in others in England and Wales. The announcement on catches came as the founder of the conservation group, Dr Stephen Marsh-Smith, stepped down as its executive director. Centuries later, and the market survives and thrives, open seven days a week with stalls selling everything from fruit and vegetables to wooden toys and ceramic bowls. Street markets across the country have had to evolve as town and city centres face challenges from out-of-town shopping, the growth of supermarkets, the birth of online retail, and economic cycles. For many nowadays, that means offering something a bit different with an artisan twist, rather than just the daily groceries. "We have all different types across the country - night markets, speciality markets, vintage markets, food markets," says Ellie Gill, of the National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA). Amid a two-week celebration of markets, run by the association, she says they offer a touch of eccentricity to "cloned" town centres. They also maintain the tradition of face-to-face transactions, she says, unlike internet shopping. Markets will always face a challenge on price from the powerful supermarkets. As people tightened their belts during the recession, markets felt the pinch. There were an estimated 38,100 traditional market traders in the UK in 2009, down 14% on five years earlier, a study by NABMA found. The association estimates that well over 1,000 regular, traditional markets are run across the country. Their success - and investment from local councils - depends on their ability to come up with something original to sell. "They offer access to fresh produce and fresh ideas," says Martin Blackwell, chief executive of the Association of Town and City Management. "Increasingly we are seeing new traders use markets as a stepping stone to growing their business before taking on premises on our High Streets." Some retailers have argued that markets draw attention away from stores, but others say they attract shoppers who then stay for the day. Councils in Sheffield, Bolton, Blackburn and Leicester are among the local authorities that have put money into rejuvenating indoor markets to attract shoppers into their towns and cities. While markets may try to attract the designers of the future, they have always found it tough to shake off the Del Boy image. Owing to the lack of uniform regulation, market stalls have often been the venue of choice for the sale of counterfeit or shoddy goods. The Real Deal campaign is aimed at encouraging all market operators to sign up to a charter and use the same code of practice. Meanwhile, shoppers have various rights to ensure they are not ripped off. Under the Sale of Goods Act, retailers are obliged to offer a refund, repair or replacement of a product that was faulty when it was sold. The rules are the same for shoppers whether they buy from a market stall or from a High Street retailer. Consumers have no automatic right to a refund if they simply decide they do not like the product and want to take it back. Faulty goods must be returned promptly, but the problem for many people who have bought shoddy items from a market trader is returning to discover the trader has left the pitch, and has gone to trade elsewhere. But Mark Oliver, of Cambridgeshire Trading Standards, says that they should not give up. A well-run market will have contact details of traders, so disgruntled consumers should get in touch with the market organiser if the trader has gone. Trading standards officers may also help, depending on the severity of the case, and would be alerted via Citizens Advice. The majority of market traders - like more permanent retailers - rely on a good reputation to trade successfully. So a polite approach from a customer who buys something which turns out to be broken should usually result in a satisfactory resolution. As for the markets themselves, their existence looks set to continue for centuries to come even if technology revolutionises the way we shop. Shari and Danny Butcher are on holiday in the Spanish city and were among those who fled the scene of Wednesday's attack on Las Ramblas. Thirteen people were killed and dozens more were injured in the attack. Members of an Irish family are among those who were injured. "This is mind-altering for me - I can't wait to get home," Mrs Butcher told BBC Radio Foyle. Mrs Butcher, from Limavady, said she and her husband were having a drink when they heard a bang. "Then people started to scream and run towards us, the police were running and blowing whistles," she said. "When we heard another loud bang Danny stood up and looked across and saw a couple of people lying on the pavement. "I got up and ran - everybody was panicking and screaming. "Danny shouted after me: 'Don't panic.'" She said she slipped and "had a bit of a panic attack". "At this point we still didn't know what had happened - I just visualised the London attack. "It was awful - we could have been killed. "People from all over the world were there enjoying a holiday." Sharon and Martin Kane, from west Belfast, were on their honeymoon in Barcelona when the attack happened. Mr Kane said they were asked to get off the bus they were travelling on. "Before we knew it everybody started rushing," he said. "We saw a girl fall and smash her head off the ground and everybody tried to get on the bus panicking. "Everybody was falling all over themselves, people crying and shouting." The couple then took cover in a nearby hotel. "It was just like back to the 1970s and 1980s in Belfast when I was a child, the same things happening - a bomb going off in the city centre," Mr Kane said. Husband and wife Norman and Pederlita Putot, who are from the Philippines but are Irish citizens, were in the city with their Irish-born children, Nathaniel and Pearl. Mr Putot and his son are among the injured and are still in hospital in Barcelona, while Mrs Putot and her daughter escaped unhurt. The five-year-old boy has a broken femur and his father has knee injuries. The so-called Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the atrocity, and Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has said it was a "jihadist attack". In a linked incident, five suspected terrorists were killed by police in the Spanish seaside resort of Cambrils. Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney said it was a "miracle" that more Irish people were not hurt in the Barcelona attack. He said Spain is the main holiday destination for Irish people and the connections between the countries "are really, really strong". "Nearly two million Irish people this year will travel to Spain on their holidays," said Mr Coveney. "You can safely say that probably over 300,000 Irish people are in Spain today. "It's a miracle that more Irish people weren't involved, given that there are so many Irish people in Spain, Barcelona and Cambrils at this time of year." The UK's Foreign Office has said a "small number" of Britons were hurt and it is investigating reports that a child with British nationality went missing during the attack. It has also issued travel advice for those going to Spain. Irish citizens are being advised to follow the advice of local authorities. Anyone with concerns for the safety of people in Barcelona can contact the consular assistance team in the department on 01-4082000 or the Irish embassy in Madrid on +34 914364093. The Police Service of Northern Ireland has issued safety advice for people at home and abroad in the event of a weapons attack. Assistant Chief Constable Barbara Gray said the intention was to increase "public awareness and vigilance, and ensuring our residents know what action to take in the unlikely event of an attack". Flights to the city are unaffected. A book of condolence for the victims of the attacks has opened at Belfast City Hall. Pte First Class Bradley Manning, 25, was convicted in July of 20 charges against him, including espionage. In a statement read by his lawyer after the sentencing, Pte Manning said he had acted "out of love for our country". His supporters have called on President Barack Obama to pardon the soldier or commute his sentence to time served. By Tom GeogheganBBC News, Fort Meade After 10 weeks of legal argument, the sentencing was over in minutes. Judge Col Denise Lind sat in front of the Stars and Stripes and the US Army flag as she sentenced Pte Manning to 35 years in prison. The 25-year-old defendant, in full military uniform, cut a diminutive, bespectacled figure as he sat in court, tapping his feet and rearranging his papers. But as he stood to hear her words he showed little emotion. And his aunt, Debra van Alstyne, also seemed impassive behind him. The hush was broken as he was led away. His supporters, dressed in black T-shirts bearing the word "truth", ignored earlier warnings by court officials and the judge to remain calm. Shouts of "We'll be waiting for you, Bradley" and "Thank you, Bradley, we love you" rang out. Pte Manning will receive a credit against his sentence of about three and a half years, including time he has already served in jail and 112 days in recompense for the harsh conditions of his initial confinement. His defence lawyer David Coombs said Pte Manning would first be eligible for parole in about seven years. Prosecutors had asked for a 60-year sentence in order to send a message to future potential leakers, and Wikileaks called the 35-year sentence a "significant strategic victory". Military prosecutors did not immediately comment. In addition to the prison sentence, likely to be served at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Judge Col Denise Lind sentenced Pte Manning to be demoted to private and dishonourably discharged from the US Army, and to forfeit his pay. While stationed in Iraq in 2010, the junior intelligence analyst passed hundreds of thousands of battlefield reports and diplomatic cables to Wikileaks, the pro-transparency group headed by Julian Assange. Pte Manning has said he leaked the secret files in the hopes of sparking a public debate about US foreign policy and the military. On Wednesday afternoon, Mr Coombs, flanked by Manning supporters, said he would ask President Obama to pardon Pte Manning. "The time to end Brad's suffering is now," he said. Mr Coombs read a statement from Pte Manning that will be included in the request. "The decisions I made in 2010 were made out of a concern for my country and the world we live in," Pte Manning said, according to Mr Coombs. "When I chose to disclose classified information... I did so out of love for our country and a sense of duty for others. If you deny my request for a pardon I will serve my time knowing that sometimes you have to pay a heavy price to live in a free society." Mr Coombs also read a statement from the soldier's family, which said they were "saddened and disappointed" by the sentence. For his own part, the lawyer said he was in tears after the sentence was handed down but that Pte Manning had told him: "I know you did your best. It's going to be OK." When asked about the pardon request, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said he was "not going to get ahead" of the process. The soldier's uncle, Kevin Fox, of Haverfordwest, Wales, said the family had expected a harsher sentence. "In my honest opinion, he shouldn't have been given any time at all," Mr Fox told the BBC. "In my eyes he is a hero." Guilty: Seven out of eight espionage charges, five theft charges, two computer fraud charges, five military counts of violating a lawful general regulation, one of wanton publication of intelligence on the internet Not guilty: Aiding the enemy, unauthorised possession of information relating to national defence The verdict and sentence will be reviewed, and possibly reduced, by a military district commander and will be automatically reviewed by the Army Court of Criminal Appeals. Pte Manning may also petition the court for lenience during the appeals process. The young soldier grew up in Oklahoma and in Wales, where his mother is from, and reportedly joined the US Army to help pay for college. What is Wikileaks? Where the cables came from Cable leak: Startling or damaging? As an intelligence analyst, he had access to a large amount of very sensitive information, despite his junior rank. He deployed to Iraq in 2009 and soon became disillusioned with the war, his defence lawyer has said. A military psychiatrist testified that Pte Manning had struggled with his gender identity and wanted to become a woman at the time of the leak. Navy Capt David Moulton testified that Pte Manning had felt abandoned by friends and family and that his relationship with his boyfriend had hit a rough patch. According to evidence presented by the defence, military supervisors ignored Pte Manning's erratic behaviour, which included trying to grab a gun during a counselling session. His lawyers said such actions had shown that Pte Manning had not been fit for duty overseas. Defence lawyers said Pte Manning was treated unfairly in solitary confinement in Quantico, Virginia and in a cell at Camp Arifjan, a US Army installation in Kuwait. Pte Manning told the court he remembered thinking: "I'm going to die, I'm stuck inside this cage." The leaks enabled Wikileaks to publish sensitive messages between US diplomats and records of military incidents in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as a cockpit video showing an Apache helicopter killing 12 people in the Iraqi capital in 2007. The revelations caused significant embarrassment to the US government, and its officials have said the disclosures damaged America's relations with its allies and disrupted the war effort in Afghanistan. The matches were just too tough given the travelling time at the end of an energy-sapping season. The Scots instead played Nigeria in London, while Michael O'Neill took the Northern Ireland squad out to face Alexis Sanchez, Luis Suarez and company. O'Neill's side lost both matches but it doesn't appear to have done them any harm as they prepare to take their place at the European Championship party, with the Scots once again pressing their faces up against the door. Indeed, many within O'Neill's camp point to that double-header in 2014 as being key to their recent success story. The wondering of what might have been for the Scots was perfectly illustrated by Steven Naismith - a man who has just suffered the ignominy of relegation from the Premier League with Norwich City. "It's not great to be the warm-up act," he said, as he and his Scots' team-mates prepare to take on the role of sparring partner for Italy and this summer's party hosts, France. It is a marked change in tack by Strachan as he gets ready to lock horns with two European footballing superpowers. Up first are the four-time world champions Italy in Malta, the soon-to-be scene of Scotland's opening World Cup qualifier. The Italians face Republic of Ireland, who beat Scotland to qualification, in Group E of the forthcoming Euro finals and view Strachan's side as similar opponents. Their fine-tuning will ensure a difficult night for Strachan's patchwork squad with a Euro 2016 opener against Belgium less than three weeks away. While the Azzurri are not at the peak of their powers these days - they have won only one World Cup finals match since their fourth coronation in Berlin in 2006 - head coach Antonio Conte guided them through an unbeaten, if uninspiring, qualification campaign. Finishing ahead of Croatia at the top of their group, they qualified with a game to spare. The gulf between the Italians and the Scots is demonstrated by Conte's refusal to select the legendary Andrea Pirlo and striker Sebastian Giovinco because they ply their trade in Major League Soccer. The standard is not high enough for Conte's taste. He has described it as "paying the consequence", albeit the classy Pirlo has just celebrated his 37th birthday and has not hit the heights he once did as he plays out the twilight of his career in New York. The current squad are aiming to win the European Championship for Italy for just a second time and go one better than 2012, when they were blown away by a Spanish siege in the Kiev final. At 38, you would forgive Gianluigi Buffon if he was relaxing with a large glass of Chianti in hand these days. Far from it. The Juventus goalkeeper set a new Serie A clean-sheet record of 974 minutes this season as he lifted his seventh Scudetto. The 156-times-capped Buffon is not the only 2006 alumni to continue to report, with Juve team-mate Andrea Barzagli adding his experience to the squad. Those two, along with another Bianconeri legend, Georgio Chiellini, are likely to go to the finals as Conte prepares to whittle his squad down to 23. It is a group that will be minus midfield maestros Claudio Marchisio and Marco Verratti because of injury. Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli will also have a watching brief, for very different reasons, having scored a paltry once while on loan at AC Milan this term during what has been a troubled time since his virtuoso performance took the Italians past Germany in their Warsaw semi-final four years ago. Instead, Conte, who will take over at Chelsea after the finals, has been leaning on Graziano Pelle and, with the Southampton marksman having scored 14 goals in the Premier League this season, is likely to again. A criticism of Conte has been a reluctance to give youth prominence, with the likes of Juve defender Daniele Rugani, Davide Zappacosta of city rivals Torino, club-mate Marco Benassi, Brazilian-born Jorginho, Lorenzo Insigne of Napoli and Fiorentina's Federico Bernardeschi all aiming to impress against the Scots and make the final cut for the finals. Riccardo Montolivo and Daniele De Rossi remain important cogs in midfield, with Roma's Alessandro Florenzi certain to add to his 15 caps in the coming weeks along with Manchester United's Matteo Darmian. The last time the nations clashed left the most bitter of tastes for Scotland as Spanish referee Manuel Gonzalez earned hate-figure status by awarding an Italian free-kick that began a chain of events that cost Scotland a place at Euro 2008 as a Christian Panucci header took the then world champions to Austria and Switzerland. The stakes were at their highest on that wet November night in 2007 and, while the same cannot be said of this particular joust, like O'Neill, it might just be something Strachan appreciates in the fullness of time. Samuel gave the hosts the lead when he latched onto Rory Donnelly's through-ball to finish past keeper Adam Davies. Conor Hourihane levelled for Barnsley on the volley but, a minute later, Davies parried Donnelly's shot into the path of Dack who tapped home. Hourihane could have levelled again but his late long-range shot went wide. The Premier League side have decided they need Barrow back in the squad to fill the void left by Nathan Dyer's loan move to Leicester City. Gambia international Barrow, 22, made five appearances for Championship side Blackburn after joining on a three-month loan in August. He won his second cap for Gambia in Sunday's African Cup of Nations 1-0 defeat by Cameroon. A loan spell at Nottingham Forest was also cut short last season after injuries to Wayne Routledge and Jefferson Montero. Klitschko, 39, had been due to defend his WBA, IBF and WBO titles against Fury on 24 October in the German city. However, the Ukrainian, unbeaten for 11 years, withdrew from the fight last week, citing a calf injury. Klitschko and Fury await the agreement of broadcaster Sky Sports for the fight to proceed on that date. Media playback is not supported on this device Bolton fighter Fury revealed on Twitter that his opponent had been declared fit to fight on 28 November. Last week, the 27-year-old had attended a news conference dressed as Batman during the build-up. Fury - who called Klitschko "boring" in July - had taken his seat at the event in London before he leaped over his table to grapple with someone dressed as Batman's enemy The Joker. He then turned to Klitschko and said: "This is a fool, just like you are." Fury - who is undefeated in 24 fights - successfully defended his European title in March and will tackle Klitschko in his record-breaking 28th heavyweight title bout. Shivy, 18, who prefers to be identified by his first name, is an Indian citizen but has been living in the US since the age of three. He has alleged that his parents tricked him into coming to India on holiday and then took away his passport and green card. He says that they then tried to forcibly marry him off to a man. His parents have refused to comment on the allegations. Shivy, who was born female but identifies as male, told BBC Hindi that his parents brought him to the north Indian city of Agra to "fix" him, once they found out that he had a girlfriend. "They took away my mobile phone and laptop even while we were in America, but I still never imagined then that our annual holiday to India in July would have any other motive," he said. The Delhi High Court termed the alleged harassment as nothing short of "bigotry" and said that India was a land of tolerance. Transgender activists and the support group Nazariya arranged legal counsel and shelter for Shivy in Delhi after he ran away from Agra earlier this month. Shivy has alleged in his petition that his father and some unknown men posing as police officers came to the residence of the activists who helped him, adding that he fears for their, and his own, safety. He has asked the Delhi High Court to help him get his passport and green card back so that he can return to the United States where he is pursuing a neurobiology course at the University of California. The Delhi High Court has asked his parents and state police to respond to the allegations. The 42-year-old's surprise move sees him replace Nigel Davies, who was dismissed by Gloucester last month. The Cherry and Whites endured a disappointing season, finishing ninth in the Premiership table. "David's a very impressive character and I'm really excited about the appointment," chief executive Stephen Vaughan told BBC Radio Gloucestershire. "We put in place a really thorough search process and we had dozens and dozens of conversations with very credible candidates, but David really stood out. Media playback is not supported on this device "His recruitment and retention of players at Ulster was second to none in Europe. "He's always been very successful and has great morals and humility. I think his skill set will fit perfectly well with the people we've got at the club." But while Gloucester are delighted at capturing Humphreys, Ulster have been left stunned by the speed of the former Ireland fly-half's departure from Ravenhill. Ulster chief executive Shane Logan said he always knew that a day would come when Humphreys would move from the club for career reasons. But he was left "taken aback" when Humphreys told him two days ago that he would be moving to the Premiership club. Asked whether any attempts had been made to make Humphreys change his mind, Logan replied:"I don't think we tried to do anything. "I think David has been consistent over the years that he wants his career to advance," added the Ulster chief executive. "We've had a joint career plan. Part of that has been to advance excellent levels of success and a really good legacy here. "We wouldn't stand in David's way. We've always been clear that David wanted to move his career on. "The surprising part at the end, and possibly the disappointing part, is the speed at which it happened." Despite his disappointment, Logan wishes Humphreys well for the future and said that his good personal relationship with his former director of rugby would remain. Ex-Ireland fly-half Humphreys was appointed to the Ulster position after retiring as a player in 2008. His roles included player recruitment and Ulster made a number of major signings during his stint. Humphreys was instrumental in convincing World Cup winners Johann Muller, Ruan Pienaar and John Afoa to join the Belfast-based club. The arrival of international stars helped revive Ulster's European fortunes and they reached the knockout stages of the last four Heineken Cup competitions, including the final in 2012, where they were well beaten by Leinster at Twickenham. Humphreys' departure ends an eventful week for Ulster. Ireland international forward Stephen Ferris announced his retirement because of injury on Tuesday and the club announced on Thursday that their redeveloped Ravenhill ground was going to be officially known as Kingspan Stadium from now on, following the signing of a 10-year naming rights deal. Ironically, Humphreys' brother Ian is returning to Ulster this summer after a two-year stint with London Irish. The Regal Cinema in Fordingbridge, Hampshire operated from 1933 until its closure in 1965. Electronics firm Corintech reduced the 290-seat auditorium to 30 seats, converting the rest of the building into flats for its employees. 'Casablanca' will be the first film screened on Friday. New Forest District Council said it welcomed the re-use of a property which was in "poor condition" after lying vacant for four years. Approving the cinema application in September, the authority said some jobs would be retained on the site, which was previously occupied by the firm Branksome China until 2012. Corintech chairman Brian Currie said £1.5m project had "stirred up latent desire" for a cinema in Fordingbridge. He said the art deco building had been sympathetically restored, with a foyer close to the original 1930s design. The cinema's operators, Fordingbridge Regal Cinema Club said they will show "a variety of classic, modern and recent films from a range of genres." Corintech had told the council it needed the eight studio flats to allow it to recruit engineers in an area where accommodation costs were high. Media playback is not supported on this device It will be the Englishman's second final after an 18-8 defeat in 2008 by Ronnie O'Sullivan - the player he looks set to meet in this year's final. Resuming the final session 14-10 up, the 32-year-old took the first two frames in his usual tenacious manner before Maguire pulled two back. But Carter made a composed 70 break to wrap up the match and reach the final. Carter produced a sublime matchplay performance, frustrating his opponent with excellent safety play before knocking in frame winning contributions. Having battled all season with Crohn's disease, and threatening to retire because of ill health, it has been a remarkable turnaround for Carter. "I was hitting the ball well and it is nice to come here to produce that and be in the final. He was potting some unbelievable long balls and I'm just pleased to be through," Carter told BBC Sport. "I was in a bad place before Christmas but I've worked hard at my health and fitness." He is likely to face O'Sullivan, who leads Matthew Stevens 15-9 going into their last session on Saturday evening, an encounter Carter will relish, after defeat by 'The Rocket' four years ago. Maguire, who ended Stephen Hendry's career in the previous round, was on the back foot having gone 5-3 and 10-6 behind. Despite making a fantastic 142 break in the 15th frame, the Scot was powerless to resist Carter's experience and nous around the table. "It was a great performance and a well justified win. He frustrated Stephen Maguire from the first session and kept in front the whole way. He looks determined and he won't be able to slack off with Peter Ebdon in his corner." Although the Englishman made a 134 four frames later, he played cautiously and took the opportunities which were presented to him by Maguire. The fiery Glaswegian rapped his cue on the table and floor when circumstances failed to go his way and he sat ruefully in his chair as he watched his opponent strike a killer blow with each draw of the cue. But Maguire staged a late comeback in the penultimate session to stay in contention of a maiden final appearance and the third session's play promised an interesting finish. Carter, who has won two ranking events in his career, took the first in controversial fashion. Holding a 21 point lead, he was put in a tricky snooker by Maguire and after six failed attempts, referee Leo Scullion did not call a miss, leaving him three points behind. Maguire came to the table and hit the jaws with the red, and Carter, after a superb pot, took the frame. He took the next one too to sit on the verge of victory. The Essex man was staying cool, showing no emotion, watching each ball into the heart of the pocket. He could have wrapped it up in the next but showed signs of Crucible jitters when missing a simple red and Maguire came in to clinch a frame, and his heart will have been beating just a little bit faster as his adversary took the following too. However, Carter held his nerve with a break of 70 to book his place in the showpiece event at the Crucible Theatre.

The doctors involved believe that the treatment could in time be used to treat common forms of blindness. Prof Robert MacLaren, the surgeon who led the research, said he was "absolutely delighted" at the outcome. "We really couldn't have asked for a better result," he said. BBC News exclusively reported on the start of the trial two years ago. The first patient was Jonathan Wyatt, who was 63 at the time. Mr Wyatt has a genetic condition known as choroideremia, which results in the light-detecting cells at the back of the eye gradually dying. Mr Wyatt was still just about able to see when he had the operation. His hope was that the procedure would stop further deterioration and save what little sight he had left. He, like another patient in Professor MacLaren's trial, found that not only did the operation stabilise his vision - it improved it. The other subjects, who were at earlier stages in their vision, experienced improvements in their ability to see at night. Mr Wyatt is now able to read three lines further down in an optician's sight chart. "I felt that I had come to the edge of an abyss," he told BBC News. "I looked down at total blackness. Professor MacLaren tapped me on the shoulder and said 'come this way, it's possible to see again'." Mr Wyatt's wife, Diana, confirmed that the prospect of total blindness had made him feel very depressed. "Now he is very optimistic," she explained. "He is more independent, he can find things he couldn't before, he can go to the shops on his own and he's less of a nuisance!" Another of the patients who underwent the treatment, Wayne Thompson, said he had noticed an immediate effect after the operation. "My colour vision improved. Trees and flowers seemed much more vivid and I was able to see stars for the first time since I was 17 when my vision began to deteriorate," he told BBC News. Mr Thomson said he had spent his life resigned to the fact that he would go blind. "I've lived the last 25 years with the certainty that I am going to go blind and now (after the operation) there is the possibility that I will hang on to my sight," he said. When Mr Thompson was first diagnosed, he was told that he would not be able to see his daughter, who is now nine, grow up. "Now I hope I'll see my grandchildren grow up," he told BBC News. If the improvements seen in the patients continue, the aim will be to offer the treatment to younger choroideremia patients to prevent them from losing their sight. The condition is relatively rare: it is thought to affect a thousand people in the UK. But Professor MacLaren believes that success with choroideremia demonstrates the principle that gene therapy could be used to cure other forms of genetic blindness including age-related macular degeneration. This condition causes blindness in 300,000 people in Britain and causes a deterioration in the vision of one in four people over the age of 75. "The mechanisms of choroideremia and what we are trying to do with the treatment would broadly be applicable to more common causes of blindness," the professor explained. "Choroideremia shows some similarities with macular degeneration in that we are targeting the same cells. We don't yet know which genes to target for macular degeneration but we do know now how to do it and how to put the genes back in." Clara Aglen of the Royal National Institute of Blind People is also cautiously optimistic. She told BBC News: "It is at an early stage at the moment, but it does offer hope for other conditions that have a genetic basis such as macular degeneration and glaucoma. "As this process advances there is hope that it could be transferred across and provide a cure for these common causes of blindness." Follow Pallab on Twitter The National Green Tribunal (NGT) said the 500km (310-mile) stretch between Haridwar in Uttarakhand state and Unnao in Uttar Pradesh needed urgent action. The court also ordered that anybody who dumps waste in the river could be fined up to 50,000 rupees (£600; $775). The NGT's orders are legally binding but can be challenged in the courts. The environment court ordered the Uttar Pradesh government to move hundreds of tanneries away from the river in Kanpur. It set a deadline for its demands of six weeks. The tanneries are a major source of employment for many Muslims in the area, but they heavily pollute the river. The NGT is known for passing strict orders to protect the environment, but its rulings are often challenged in high courts and the Supreme Court. The court also does not have an agency to enforce its orders, and it relies on state law enforcement. The Uttar Pradesh government is yet to make a statement on the NGT's latest ban on waste dumping by the Ganges. The river is sacred to Hindus who worship it as "Mother Ganges", but it has also become badly polluted by industrial waste, sewage and dead bodies, apparently dumped by families who could not afford cremations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised several billion dollars for a massive clean-up of the river. But activists say the pace of the operation to clean the river has been slow. Media playback is not supported on this device So did Roy Hodgson get his provisional England Euro 2016 squad right? Opta statistics suggest an England squad based on data alone would have Watford's Troy Deeney right in contention, with Bournemouth's Steve Cook and Simon Francis competing to partner Manchester United's Chris Smalling in the heart of defence. BBC Sport takes a look at the statistics around key England selection decisions. Joe Hart, Tom Heaton, Fraser Forster Probably the easiest decision for Hodgson, even with the absence of the Premier League's top English shot-stopper -Stoke's Jack Butland (103 saves) - through injury. Fraser Forster (95.3) and Joe Hart (86.4) are the top two English goalkeepers for minutes played per goal conceded. Burnley's Championship-winning keeper Tom Heaton played every minute for his club this season, keeping 20 clean sheets, and takes the third slot. Who do you think should start at Euro 2016? Step into Roy Hodgson's shoes and pick your XI - and then share it with your friends using our brand new team selector. Nathaniel Clyne, Kyle Walker, Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling, John Stones, Ryan Bertrand, Danny Rose. Everton's John Stones and Manchester United's Chris Smalling have had very busy seasons. While Smalling, 26, has emerged from United's below-par season with his reputation enhanced, Stones, 21, has faced criticism for Everton's disappointing campaign. Smalling is an obvious choice, topping the charts for clean sheets (17) and interceptions (98), but by using other key defensive measurements of aerial challenges won, tackles made and clearances, Bournemouth defensive duo Simon Francis and Steve Cook do very well. Although Stones does not register in the top 10 of any of the defensive metrics bar clean sheets (eight), his Premier League 2015-16 distribution statistics are the best of any other defender in the England squad. The 21-year-old has made the most passes (1,569), with the most passes per 90 minutes (50.81) and has the best passing completion figure (89%), while conceding the fewest fouls (11). Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker urged people to "stop knocking" Stones, adding: "He's got it all and will be a top England player." But former England striker and MOTD pundit Alan Shearer described the defence as the "Achilles heel" and a problem which Hodgson has not "been able to solve". Dele Alli, Ross Barkley, Fabian Delph, Eric Dier, Danny Drinkwater, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, James Milner, Raheem Sterling, Andros Townsend, Jack Wilshere. One name who sparked a lot of debate was Jack Wilshere. The Arsenal central midfielder, 24, has been out with injury for most of the season and only made three appearances towards the end of the campaign. A player who might feel aggrieved at missing out is West Ham's Mark Noble. Unlike Wilshere, who has 28 caps, the 29-year-old is uncapped, but helped the Hammers finish seventh. He is fourth on the list of this season's English Premier League scorers, with seven goals, and ranked fourth on the shot conversion list. Noble is also fourth on the successful passes order of merit, with Eric Dier the only England midfielder ahead of him, with an 86.2% passing accuracy. Another left behind is Arsenal's Walcott. He plays as a forward for his club, but would likely have been picked as one of Hodgson's attacking midfielders had he made the cut. The England coach cited the fact injury has curtailed his season, but the chart below shows the 27-year-old has played more minutes than three others who made the midfield list. Dele Alli's 10 goals, nine assists and 55 chances created for Tottenham mark him out as England's standout player. James Milner's statistics for Liverpool this season are also impressive. He leads the assists with 11, which were included in the 61 chances he created - second only to Leicester's Marc Albrighton, who misses out. Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Daniel Sturridge, Marcus Rashford. The one hot topic regarding the striking department was the inclusion of Manchester United's Marcus Rashford. The 18-year-old only made his senior debut for United on 25 February, but has since scored seven goals from 16 games in all competitions. His rapid rise to prominence is underlined by his fledgling Premier League statistics - his seven shots on target and one off target, resulting in four goals, are not enough to make the Opta lists. Shearer told BBC Sport that Rashford "deserves" his call-up as he is "full of energy, scores goals and he looks a bright prospect", with Hodgson right to "look towards youth". The uncapped teenager, who has not even played at under-21 level, was a popular subject on social media once the squad was announced at 11:00 BST. Defoe's exclusion was also discussed widely. The 33-year-old Sunderland striker was touted for a spot, and had a good case. His 15 league goals helped Sunderland to safety and meant he was behind only Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy in the English scoring charts. He was also ranked fourth on total shots (59), shooting accuracy (66.1%) and shot conversion rate (25.42%). One player barely mentioned in the argument is Watford striker Troy Deeney. The 27-year-old was the only other Englishman to manage more than 10 league goals (13). He also made more assists (seven) and created more chances (55) than any other English forward. But it was not quite enough to convince Hodgson. The 531ft (161m) British Airways i360 viewing tower stands on the site once occupied by the entrance to Brighton's ruined West Pier. Prince Philip was greeted by large crowds as he arrived at the attraction. The royal party ascended inside the curved-glass pod which gives a 360-degree view of up to 26 miles of the south coast. The duke was shown the control room and the operating winch before unveiling a plaque. The i360 holds the Guinness World Record for the globe's most slender tower, with a diameter of 3.9m at its widest point. Visitors to the attraction ascend to 450ft (137m) and can get views from Bexhill in East Sussex, to Chichester in West Sussex and the South Downs to the north. The tower first opened to passengers on 4 August but was closed twice in September due to technical problems. About 180 people were stuck in mid-air for two hours on 8 September. It broke down a second time three days later, trapping 200 in the observation pod. Police identified Andre Marshall, 29, as the man found dead in Urmston, Greater Manchester on Wednesday. Marshall, was jailed in 2008 for assault and possession of a firearm, following an attack at a gym in 2007. He was a member of the Gooch Gang from Manchester's Moss Side, that was involved in clashes with rival gangs in the 1990s. A post-mortem examination revealed Marshall he died of gunshot wounds, said a police spokeswoman. He was found fatally injured next to a car on Manor Park, at about 07:30 BST on Wednesday. Ch Supt Mary Doyle, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "We do not believe this was a random attack and we are still working to establish a motive which, as of yet, is not known." In the mid 1990s, Manchester had been dubbed "Gunchester" by the media with gangs' names related to the streets in their patch; Gooch Close, Doddington and Pepperhill among others. The 26-year-old, who has scored 19 goals in 33 appearances this season, has agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Championship club. He is the first player in 30 years to swap Rovers for City since striker Trevor Morgan did so in January 1987. The Robins have also re-signed winger David Cotterill, 29, on loan from Birmingham for the rest of the season. Cotterill came through City's academy, making 66 appearances before joining Wigan for £2m in 2006. Taylor originally joined the Pirates on a free transfer from Forest Green Rovers in 2014 and scored 67 times in 132 appearances for the club. Direct movement between the two Bristol clubs is rare, with David Clarkson, who joined Rovers from City in 2012, the most recent example. "I think we've got ourselves a natural goalscorer," Bristol City manager Lee Johnson told the club website. "It'll be a big step up in standard for him, but he's been able to deal with every challenge that's been thrown at him so far in his career." Meanwhile, the Robins have added striker Freddie Hinds and defender Tin Plavotic to their under-23 squad from Luton Town and Austrian club FC Pasching respectively. Plavotic has subsequently been sent on loan to Cheltenham Town, although the League Two side say he has only been brought in as back-up and will continue to train with City. And former Watford defender Joel Ekstrand, 27, has left Ashton Gate after having his contract terminated by mutual consent. BBC Points West sports editor Alistair Durden Taylor's move is a controversial one because of the fierce rivalry between the two clubs, who are separated by just four miles. Rovers did well to get Matty Taylor to sign a new contract in the summer, when he could have walked away for free. But they had to include a minimum fee release clause, which Bristol City have activated. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page or visit our Premier League tracker here.

As many as 80 victims of an infamous detective unit that abused suspects over three decades could be in line for a share of the award. The city council also issued a formal apology and vowed to teach schoolchildren about the abuses. Former commander Jon Burge was jailed for four years after being convicted of lying about the torture scandal. Many of the victims were African American. Some could receive as much as $100,000. The terms of the award were announced last month by city officials and Mayor Rahm Emanuel. "This stain cannot be removed from our city's history but it can be used as a lesson of what not do do," the mayor said. The names of more than a dozen torture victims and survivors were read aloud and the city council gave them a standing ovation. The council then voted 42-0 in favour of the award. Last season's Grand Final runners-up are bottom of Super League having lost all six of their games this season. The Wolves have suffered from injuries, including the loss of Stefan Ratchford. "They had six or seven busted players at the start of this run," Noble told BBC 5 live's Rugby League podcast. "Every coach will tell you it depends on how healthy your horses are. "When you've invested heavily in super star players - the [Ben] Curries of this world, the Ratchfords, who haven't been playing, and [Ben] Westwood's only just back - when you miss those pivotal people, and your other pivotal people are slightly off form, it's like Leeds encountered last year - the perfect storm." England utility-back Ratchford returned at St Helens on Friday but was unable to prevent the Wolves losing 31-6 to seal their worst start to Super League. Their only win this campaign came in the World Club Series when they produced an excellent display to beat Australian side Brisbane Broncos 27-18. This is in stark contrast to last season when they were consistently good to win the League Leaders' Shield and reach the Challenge Cup final and Super League Grand Final. Noble believes a change of personnel has also added to their problems in 2017. "Remember, they've swapped halves," he added. "Kevin Brown, a new player who has to get used to the system, for [Chris] Sandow, who was a line breaker and a runner. Everyone is getting used to each other." Smith was asked whether he worried that his job may be under threat after the mis-firing start that has left the Wolves outsiders for a Grand Final, even this early in the season. "No, if I worried about my job I'd be a taxi driver," he said. "This is the industry that I love and adore and enjoy. And while my players are trying hard, that's all any coach can ask of them. "We're going to handle this patch with dignity. It'll come, it's frustrating in the meantime. "I enjoy all the times I spend with these boys, even the bad bits. "This is where people stand up when it gets a bit tough. A lot of people walk away from it all, take the easy decisions. That's not what Rugby League people do." Noble himself has been in a similar position when he was head coach of Bradford. In 2005, the Bulls were hot pre-season favourites, yet suffered opening round defeats against unfancied Wakefield and Widnes. They lost five of their first nine games, but still went on to win the Grand Final at the end of the year. "In that position you're hoping that the players have the same mindsets. Let's strip this down to basics and find out what's going wrong and we can put that right. "They have to understand that to get the first one is very important. They've got to kick well and chase well, they've got to do all those fundamental things that keep them in a game. "You've got to play the percentages, which you don't like doing as a coach because you want to entertain. Simplify the game, get one win, then you've got to grind out the next one. "But not having your best players out on deck every week is a strain on the squad. "It's not a nice place to be, you've got to roll your sleeves up and grind out a win."

When Mr Bryant said: "We can't just have a culture dominated by [Eton-educated] Eddie Redmayne and James Blunt and their ilk," he uncorked a fizzing bottle of sensitivity and resentment and not just about acting. Mr Bryant's comments have opened up the debate about worsening social mobility and the growing power and dominance of an affluent London-based elite, benefitting from private school and Oxbridge connections and the exclusive, because of benefit cuts, ability to ride out the years of training thanks to the bank of Mum and Dad. Mr Bryant emphasised that his concern was not directed against any individual but against the inequality of opportunity. But James Blunt, educated like actor Benedict Cumberbatch at Harrow School, responded with fury, calling Bryant "a prejudiced wazzock" teaching "the politics of jealousy" instead of aspiration, and claimed he, Blunt, was himself the victim of anti-upper class discrimination. Even before the Bryant-Blunt row, many prominent actors and performers, including Julie Walters, Sandie Shaw and David Morrissey, had been speaking out about their concerns. They cited increased art and drama school tuition fees, benefit changes especially when it comes to renting in London, and the rise of an intern culture with very low pay rates for those starting out, which they feel are closing down prospects for talented working-class men and women. Judi Dench has said she is regularly asked for help by aspiring actors unable to take on such expense. Walters, who quit nursing against her mother's wishes to study drama in the early 1970s, got a full grant, and a salaried job at Liverpool's Everyman Theatre. Local government spending cuts have closed down much of that sector. Walters has said it would be impossible for someone like her to embark on such a career now. James Blunt claimed he was discouraged from a career in music, but it is clear that the old middle-class parental push towards "professions" such as stockbroking or law has declined. Eton College is now as famous for nurturing talented actors such Tom Hiddleston, Damien Lewis and Dominic West as future prime ministers such as David Cameron. As with sports such as rowing, private schools now seem to offer many of the artistic "extras" that have started to disappear in the face of a more "vocational" push in the state-school sector. Whether at the Olympics or the Oscars, it can seem that Britain is increasingly represented at an elite level by people who had access to an exclusive paid-for education. Edward Kemp, the director of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada) one of the UK's most prestigious drama schools, says the problem is more complex. Speaking before the current row, he pointed out that the number of Rada applicants from working-class backgrounds had actually been going up - 36% of places in the previous year had gone to students from families earning less than £25,000 a year. Rada graduates from financially modest backgrounds such as Gemma Arterton and Ben Whishaw have achieved great success. But in what kind of roles? Chris Bryant in his comments on culture also expressed concern that a preoccupation with Downton-Abbey-style upper-class and period drama meant TV was no longer offering roles that reflected the full diversity of British society. And that is without mentioning the challenge faced by actors of colour, such as Sophie Okonedo, who has won a Tony award on Broadway alongside Denzel Washington but has found few roles in the UK. David Oyelowo, star of the hit film Selma, tweeted this week: "I had to leave Britain to have an acting career." He has said that he had been told by a commissioning executive: "If it's not Jane Austen or Dickens, the audience don't understand." The charge is that a narrowing elite of decision makers are closing down who gets represented. Mr Kemp told the Independent: "It would be great to have another working-class drama, but where are those stories being told? "They're not - it's shows with dragons or people in tweed suits on bicycles." Mr Bryant has harked back to the British social realism boom in art of the late 1950s and 1960s that put a cultural focus on the state-backed creative output of the industrial north of England, not London. Working-class stars such as Stanley Baker, from Mr Bryant's Rhondda constituency, Albert Finney and Michael Caine and writers such as Shelagh Delaney emerged at this time. Social inequality was at its lowest by the early 1970s. It was cool to be working class. Is that what's changed most? Even in pop music? Rock journalist Simon Price believes that the 1990s generation that produced the Manic Street Preachers was the last to benefit from a genuinely meritocratic state-support system, and the days of musicians such as Joe Strummer playing down their middle class roots are long gone. "These days whenever I hear of an up-and-coming band and I look into it, it seems more often than not they are from the 7% [of the population] who were privately educated. "There's this myth that on YouTube if you have a good song it will spiral, but it does take money." Price says that changes to the benefits system have made it harder for working-class teenagers to develop their talent. "David Cameron famously proclaims himself to be a fan of the Smiths. "Well Morrissey spent years on the dole finding himself and finding his voice before launching his musical career." It's hard to imagine any politician would advocate a more generous dole for aspiring pop stars. But Price sees a direct link in the requirements now placed on benefit claimants to take whatever work they're told, and the focus on "vocational" training, which is undermining the very economically measurable success that Britain's creative industries are famous for. The question underlying the current posh war remains: are too many careers increasingly an option only for those with the backing of an affluent family? And what will Britain become if this continues?

That Britain's cultural class war is complicated is perhaps most apparent in the fact that Labour's new culture spokesman, Chris Bryant, was educated at private Cheltenham College while the Conservative Culture Secretary Sajid Javid is a bus driver's son from a comprehensive school.

Judge Anthony Morris QC had attended a ceremony to mark his departure from the court prior to Ridwaan Shaikh's hearing. Shaikh, 22, was cleared of murdering 21-year-old Bradley Cresswell but found guilty of manslaughter. He had to wait for the verdict after the trial judge was "unavoidably delayed", court staff said. The court heard that Shaikh, of Ilford, London, punched Mr Cresswell after they had been to Hydeout Nightclub, Watford, on 17 September. Mr Cresswell, of South Oxhey, never regained consciousness. Shaikh will be sentenced at the same court on Thursday. Prosecutor Benn Maguire said the defendant attacked Mr Cresswell in the street "without warning" in revenge for an earlier incident in the club. Following his arrest, Shaikh told police he acted in self-defence and hit Mr Cresswell with an open hand. He denied both murder and manslaughter. The jury deliberated for nearly 14 hours before clearing Shaikh of murder but convicting him of manslaughter. The defendant wept in the dock while a member of the Cresswell family shouted "yes" as the verdict was read.

A defendant had to wait 45 minutes to learn his fate after a judge got stuck in a lift at the Old Bailey.

The teenager was discovered when officers from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were called to Timperley Metro station at 16:30 BST. He was taken to hospital where he remains in a critical but stable condition. GMP believe he may have taken MDMA or ecstasy but are still working to establish the facts. Last month, three 12-year-old girls were taken to hospital after taking ecstasy in Salford, Greater Manchester. Insp John Cave from GMP said of the incident in Timperley: "It is very early stages... the boy is very poorly and we want to urge anyone who may have also taken the drug to get checked out at hospital as soon as possible. "It is critical that young people understand the implications of taking drugs and would urge that they think twice before doing so. "People taking these drugs don't know what they contain or the effect they will have - it's not worth the risk of ending up in hospital or even losing a life. "If anyone is in possession of these drugs I would urge them to hand them in to the police, a chemist or other medical practitioner immediately, and if you have taken any themselves that they go to hospital as a precaution." GMP has urged anyone who may have information about how the boy came to fall ill to call the police on 101. Ecstasy, or MDMA, is an illegal synthetic drug that people take to feel energised and euphoric. The effects usually kick in after about half an hour and take a few hours to wear off. A big problem with ecstasy is that the tablets are rarely pure - they can be cut with other substances and cause nasty side effects. If a child takes ecstasy they will be getting a large dose relative to the size of their body, which is more risky. Ecstasy affects how well the body is able to regulate temperature and this increases the risk of over-heating and dehydration. Anyone with a heart condition, epilepsy or asthma can have a very dangerous reaction to the drug. There are have been numerous deaths involving ecstasy. It will also be a good-bye to Leslie Odom Jr., who portrays Aaron Burr, and Phillipa Soo, who plays Eliza Schuyler. Fans have queued for days to buy tickets, with the most expensive being sold at $20,000 (£15,400). The hit show about the life of one of America's founding fathers is described as "a landmark American musical". Miranda, who plays Alexander Hamilton, said he would work on other projects. Odom Jr. will focus on his career as a singer and Soo will take part in another musical. Hamilton won 11 statuettes at the Tony Awards in New York last month - including one for Odom Jr. - and the Pulitzer Prize for drama earlier this year. In addition to blockbuster ticket sales, the album of the show is the highest-selling cast recording for 50 years, picking up this year's Grammy Award for best musical theatre album. Caitlin Goddard, from Detroit, had been queuing from three nights and two days for a ticket. "We wanted to see the show but we were OK to wait for a while. It was definitely finding out that so many of the principals were leaving that we were like, 'OK, we have to do it now!'" she told the Associated Press news agency. Rukkus, a secondary ticket marketplace, says the average price for this Saturday's show is $3,391 (£2,618), AP reports. For subsequent shows, the price drops substantially, with an average of $1,286 (£993). Hamilton is expected to open at London's Victoria Palace Theatre in October 2017. A pilot service, linking North Ayrshire and the Kintyre peninsula, has operated for the past three years. Transport Minister Derek Mackay said it had proved "incredibly popular" and transported an average of over 10,000 passengers and 2,000 cars per year. He said the permanent service would be part of an enhanced summer timetable for CalMac next year. "The pilot service proved incredibly popular and I'm sure this announcement will be welcomed by passengers and the communities at either side of the route," Mr Mackay said. "This will be a real boost for the local economy, enhancing transport links to Campbeltown and the Kintyre peninsula, as well as supporting the tourist trade by making it easier and more attractive for visitors. Beginning in May over the past three summers, the service provided three sailings in each direction each week. The sailings provided an alternative to the four-hour drive between Campbeltown and Glasgow and was the first regular car ferry service between Kintyre and Ayrshire. Until the 1930s, sea travel was the main way of reaching Kintyre from the central belt. The decision to make the route permanent was taken after Transport Scotland hired consultants to carry out a full evaluation. CalMac's operations director, Drew Collier, said: "Passenger numbers on this route during the trial confirm that the demand is there for a regular ferry link and we look forward to delivering this service next year in support of the local community in Campbeltown." Team SCA, the first all-women crew to enter for 12 years, suffered a series of accidents and problems during the New Zealand-to-Brazil stage. The team's boat lost its electronics, capsized and hit three objects in the South Atlantic Ocean. "We made mistakes, we had things go wrong, but we fixed it all," said Davies, after finishing on Tuesday. "We made it to dock and we're in one piece so we're happy." Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing won the 6,776 nautical mile Auckland to Itajai stage on Sunday and lead the round-the-world race by seven points. The race started in the Spanish city of Alicante in October, with teams visiting 11 ports in 11 countries across nine legs, and finishes in Gothenburg in June. The agreement will see an extra £1bn for Northern Ireland in return for the DUP backing the minority government. But Downing Street said the money will not be subject to the Barnett formula. Scottish Secretary David Mundell has previously said he would not support funding which "deliberately sought to subvert the Barnett rules". Speaking to BBC Scotland last week, he added: "We have clear rules about funding of different parts of the United Kingdom. "If the funding falls within Barnett consequentials, it should come to Scotland." Mr Mundell was also quoted in newspapers over the weekend as saying that he would block any "back door funding" for Northern Ireland if it meant the other devolved nations missing out. Downing Street said the Barnett formula does not apply to the new money as it is being provided as an addition to the Northern Ireland Executive's block grant. In a similar way, the formula did not apply to city deals in Scotland and Wales, or previous packages of support for Northern Ireland, a Number 10 source said. The city deals saw £500m spent directly in Glasgow, £125m in Aberdeen, and £53m in Inverness, but the investment did not impact on Barnett consequentials elsewhere in the UK. Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson argued it was "absurd" to criticise UK government spending on top of Barnett in Northern Ireland, when "the exact same thing happens in Scotland". But Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, claimed the "grubby, shameless deal" showed that "the Tories have shown that they will stop at nothing to hold on to power - even sacrificing the very basic principles of devolution." She added: "By ignoring the Barnett formula, Scotland will be missing out on an estimated £2.9bn in funding for our public services - that is the price to Scottish taxpayers for the Tories to stay in power. "This breaks the very principles that underpin devolution and the funding settlement the Tories pledged to protect." It was not the opposition parties who insisted, initially, upon the application of the Barnett formula in relation to any putative DUP deal. It was the Secretary of State. For Scotland. In advance of today's deal, David Mundell said there were rules about funding in the UK. Clear rules. And, he added, if the funding fell within the scope of Barnett then cash should come to Scotland too. Indeed, he signalled that he would contest any deal which breached that position. Pedants that they are, Mr Mundell's rivals now want to hold the Secretary of State to his word. They say he should join them - the Scottish and Welsh governments plus others - in demanding a wider distribution of cash. The Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson says this is hypocrisy. That those critics know that formula bypass is feasible. That the deal is intended to ensure UK stability. And the line from the Scotland Office? I suspect they have had better days. But they insist that the Secretary of State was simply demanding clarity: that he wanted an upfront deal, rather than anything in any way underhand. Read more from Brian Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale warned that the prime minister risked "weakening the bonds that unite the UK" if she did not provide extra money to tackle austerity in Scotland, Wales and the regions of England. Carwyn Jones, the Labour first minister of Wales, said the agreement "further weakens the UK" and "all but kills the idea of fair funding for the nations and regions." Scottish Greens co-convener Patrick Harvie called on Mr Mundell to resign as secretary of state for Scotland over the government's "shameless deal with the homophobes and climate deniers of the DUP". And the Liberal Democrats said the prime minister had "once again put her party ahead of our country". The deal, which comes two weeks after the election resulted in a hung parliament, will see the 10 DUP MPs back the Tories in key Commons votes. Theresa May fell nine seats short of an overall majority after the snap election, meaning she is reliant on other parties to pass legislation, including relating to the terms of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. DUP leader Arlene Foster insisted the "wide-ranging" agreement was "good for Northern Ireland and for the UK" and predicted it would deliver a stable government as the country embarks on the Brexit process. The agreement will see a total of £1.5bn in funding - consisting of £1bn of new money and £500m of previously announced funds - to be spent over the next two years on infrastructure, health and education in Northern Ireland. Mrs Foster said the money was needed to address the challenges from Northern Ireland's "unique history". The prime minister said the pact was a "very good one" for the UK as a whole, adding: "We share many values in terms of wanting to see prosperity across the UK, the value of the union, the important bond between the different parts of the UK". They say Mr Demirel, who held office in 1993-2000, died early in the morning in Guven Hospital in the capital, Ankara. He had reportedly been treated for a respiratory tract infection. In a political carrier spanning nearly 50 years, he also served seven times as the country's prime minister. His government was twice overthrown by the country's powerful military. Mr Demirel - who led the Justice Party in 1964-90 - and a number of other politicians were banned from politics after a military coup in 1980. The ban was lifted in 1987, paving the way for Mr Demirel's return to power several years later. Culture Secretary John Whittingdale has appointed eight people to work on the renewal of the BBC's royal charter - which sets out the corporation's remit. Dawn Airey, former boss of Channel 5, and Dame Colette Bowe, former chairwoman of Ofcom, are among the advisers. The current BBC charter is set to expire at the end of 2016. Ms Airey, who is an executive at Yahoo, has previously called for the licence fee to be cut and to consider charging for website output. Meanwhile, The Sunday Times has reported that a government green paper is due to be published on Thursday which will ask fundamental questions about the BBC's role, including whether it should stop chasing viewers and provide more public service programmes. The green paper will look at exploring options to replace the £145.50 licence fee, with a household tax or subscription system, the paper said. It will also suggest that the BBC website should be scaled back, question whether the corporation's news fulfils its obligation to be impartial, examine whether more of the broadcaster's output should be independently produced and consider the future of BBC Worldwide - the corporation's commercial arm - the paper reported. The Sunday Times also said the green paper would look at replacing the BBC Trust with Ofcom. Mr Whittingdale said: "Each member of the independent advisory group brings individual skills, experience and expertise. "Together they will contribute to the oversight of the government's review of the BBC royal charter. I look forward to working with them on this important issue." Other members of the panel include: Shazam executive chairman Andrew Fisher, Arts Council England boss Darren Henley, Johnston Press chief executive Ashley Highfield, former Shine Group chief executive Alex Mahon, digital entrepreneur Lopa Patel and journalism professor Stewart Purvis, a former editor-in-chief of ITN. Mr Whittingdale's predecessor Sajid Javid, now business secretary, said the charter review should address what the BBC broadcasts and its "internet capabilities". The discussion about changes to the BBC around licence fee renewal time was nothing new, he told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, but bigger issues needed to be dealt with in the charter review. He refused to be drawn on whether the BBC should be smaller. Labour's shadow education secretary, Tristram Hunt, accused the government of an "unpatriotic" approach to the BBC which, he said, was part of the British identity and "one of our great public institutions". Sir Michael Lyons, chairman of the BBC Trust from 2007 to 2011 said the corporation was coming under "intense pressure" and was facing a "hand-picked panel by John Whittingdale replacing the Trust... and not even a mention of how the public, who pay for the BBC are going to be involved". "I think this is a matter for real concern," he added. He said there was always room for debate over what the BBC does but the government's approach "feels like the beating up of the BBC to make it more compliant, less bold and that's really not in our national interest". Earlier this month the BBC announced, after negotiations with the government, that it would take on the £750m cost of free TV licences for people over the age of 75. BBC director general Tony Hall said the deal gave the corporation "financial stability and the ability to plan for the future". However writing in the Observer Lord Hall said the negotiation process should not happen again. He writes that "...although the BBC used this pre-Budget window of opportunity to reach a fair deal, it is not a process we would have chosen and it is not a process that should be repeated. "I believe that for future negotiations the debate about the BBC's scale and funding should be taken out of the political cycle." The OECD said "caution" was needed in the roll-out of the policy, given its possible impact on employment. In the Autumn Statement, Chancellor Philip Hammond pledged to raise the wage to £7.50 an hour next April. The OECD also forecast that the UK would have one of the lowest growth rates among G20 countries by 2018. The National Living Wage was introduced by Chancellor George Osborne in his Budget in July 2015. It came into effect in April this year, and was set at a rate of £7.20 an hour for workers aged 25 and over, with the aim of increasing it to £9 an hour by 2020. The UK's Office for Budget Responsibility estimated it would give a pay rise to 1.3 million workers this year. The OECD said the UK's labour market had been "resilient", although job creation had moderated recently. "Real wages have been growing at a time of low inflation, but the fall of the exchange rate has started to increase price pressures," it said. "Caution is needed with the implementation of the policy to raise the National Living Wage to 60% of median hourly earnings by 2020. "The effects on employment need to be carefully assessed before any further increases are adopted, especially as growth slows and labour markets weaken." The organisation's stance echoes the widespread claims of business organisations in the 1990s that the introduction of the UK's national minimum wage - which started in 1999 - would lead to widespread job losses. Those fears proved to be groundless, with the number of people in employment rising from 27 million then to nearly 32 million now. The OECD says the world economy has been stuck in a low growth trap for five years. It says government spending and tax policies could be used to provide a boost. The report expects action on these lines from the administration of President-elect Donald Trump in the United States and predicts that will result in a modest boost beyond US borders. It also suggests that other countries could afford to take similar steps. But the OECD says that any benefit could be offset if countries resort to measures that restrict trade to protect their own industries. The OECD predicts that the UK's economy will grow by 1% in 2018, slower than both Germany (1.7%) and France (1.6%). However, the organisation has raised its UK growth forecasts for this year and 2017. It now predicts the UK's economy will expand by 2% this year, compared with an earlier forecast of 1.8%, while in 2017 it has lifted the growth forecast to 1.2% from 1.0%. The OECD said the upward revision was specifically because of Bank of England action and the depreciation in sterling since the Brexit vote. Looking ahead, the organisation warned that the UK's unemployment rate could rise to more than 5% because of weaker growth. It also predicted a sharp rise in inflation as the pound's slide against the dollar and euro starts to be reflected in prices in the shops. "The unpredictability of the exit process from the European Union is a major downside risk for the economy," it said. The OECD's forecast for growth in the US has risen since the election of Donald Trump as the country's next President. It revised its prediction for 2016 up to 1.5% from 1.4%, and next year's estimate to 2.3% from 2.1%. In 2018 it is forecasting 3% growth. US President Barack Obama has said it himself: "When women succeed, nations are more safe, more secure and more prosperous." That rather neatly sums up a realisation that has gradually dawned on the development community in the past 10 years: that focusing policies on women and girls benefits not only them, but also whole countries and even the world. It has always made sense to focus on women, simply because they are disproportionately affected by global poverty, violence and corruption. Two-thirds of the world's illiterate people are women. The original Millennium Development Goals made girls' education and maternal health two of the main priorities. Big strides have been made in both areas since 2000 - though it is worth remembering there are still as many girls out of primary school in Ethiopia as there are in primary school in Britain. Now we are moving into a different phase, where policy-makers are turning their attention to another agenda beyond schooling - how to empower women economically. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) believes that if workforce participation between men and women were more equal, worldwide gross domestic product (GDP) would leap by 12% by 2030. That's why other powerful women are joining in Mrs Merkel's call to close the workforce gender gap. They include: International Monetary Fund (IMF) managing director Christine Lagarde This isn't just about the fact that women tend to earn less than men across the world - a theme that has resonance in richer countries. It's also that women are more likely to be in insecure jobs, making them more vulnerable to economic shocks. They might face tougher legal barriers too - laws in more than 100 countries still curtail women's roles in the economy. In sub-Saharan Africa women farmers make up nearly half the agricultural workforce, yet in many states they still lack basic legal rights to the land they cultivate. Following the genocide there, in 1994, Rwanda decided to change its laws to allow women to inherit land just as men do. Many Rwandan women now hold property in joint land titles with men - so they have a formal stake in how that land is used. Experts say these policies have had a transformational effect in letting women thrive economically and helping them to pull their families out of poverty. The World Bank believes that if the gender gap in agriculture across the world was closed, the number of people who go hungry could be reduced by 100-150 million. Technology will also be key in bringing more women into the workforce and unleashing their full potential. At the moment, a woman is 21% less likely to own a mobile phone than a man (in Africa it's 23%; in the Middle East it's 24% and in South Asia it's 37%). This matters because countries such as Kenya - with its M-PESA system - have a good story to tell about the revolutionary power of mobile phone banking. If more women own phones in the coming years, it stands to reason that more of them will be able to start their own businesses or learn about market prices. Putting women in greater control of household finances has a virtuous knock-on effect too, as they are on the whole better than men at investing money in their family's education and healthcare. That's why the UN development goals for the next 15 years specifically look at the need to improve women's access to the internet and new methods of communication. Source: Poverty is Sexist report There are other encouraging signs of change. The World Economic Forum calculates that in the past decade alone, seven million women have joined the labour force in Pakistan, along with another seven million in Bangladesh. Recent data also suggests women entrepreneurs are on the rise in emerging economies such as Nigeria and Ecuador. Much of this is to do with changing attitudes. As girls' education has become more of an accepted part of family life, women themselves are becoming more aspirational - wanting to make proper use of their skills. Their families, too, want to see an economic return on the education they've invested in. And yet for all the G7 talk of empowering women and "fostering female entrepreneurship", it still means very little in some of the world's poorest communities. In its recent report Poverty is Sexist, the campaign group One says that every day 39,000 girls across the world become child brides, depriving them of the education that could make them the businesswomen - and political leaders - of the future. The venue has been closed since the bomb attack at an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May, which left 22 people dead. It will reopen on 9 September with a fundraising show featuring a number of north-west acts. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will be joined by indie bands The Courteeners and Blossoms, 1980s pop star Rick Astley, and poet Tony Walsh. Walsh captured the spirit of the city when he performed his poem This Is The Place at a vigil the day after the attack. Gallagher's appearance will also have particular significance - his song Don't Look Back In Anger became an anthem of unity in the wake of the bombing after a crowd started spontaneously singing it at a memorial. The Courteeners also performed it when they played to 50,000 fans at Old Trafford cricket ground five days after the atrocity. Gallagher's brother and former Oasis bandmate Liam appeared at the One Love Manchester benefit concert a week after that, but Noel did not. More acts are still to be announced for the arena reopening concert, which is titled We Are Manchester. All profits will go towards establishing a permanent memorial to the victims, which will be built by the new Manchester Memorial Fund. Tickets for the show, costing £25 and £30, will go on sale at 09:00 on Thursday 17 August. There will be extra security and ID checks, and fans have been asked not to bring bags larger than 35cm x 40cm x 19cm. Councillor Sue Murphy, deputy leader of Manchester City Council, said: "No-one will ever forget the terrible events of 22 May but Manchester has reacted with love, solidarity and a determination to continue doing the things which make this such a vibrant city. "We welcome the reopening of the arena, a major venue which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors, as a powerful symbol of this defiant and resilient spirit." Renovation work has been taking place in the venue's foyer, where the bomb was detonated. The arena's general manager James Allen said: "May's events will never be forgotten, but they will not stop us - or Mancunian music fans - from coming together to enjoy live music. "Manchester Arena has celebrated over 20 years hosting some of the greatest musical talent of all time, and the significant economic and cultural impact that this has on the city means that this legacy must continue. "Public safety is always our priority and we are doing all we can to keep people safe at our venue." Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

If passed, Plasdwr will be built over 20 years and will also include sports and healthcare facilities. But residents and politicians have objected over traffic, overdevelopment and environmental concerns. Plans for the first stages of the development, which will see about 1,000 homes built on land near Pentrebane Road and Llantrisant Road, have already been granted. The latest phase of the scheme is for homes on a 900 acre-site (368 hectare) of fields bordering Fairwater, St Fagans, Danescourt and Radyr. As well as homes, it includes proposals for three primary schools, a secondary school, playgrounds, play areas and facilities for teenagers such as a BMX or skateboard park. There could also be two food stores, a GP surgery and dentist, sports pitches and allotments as well as restaurants and pubs. New roads, bus routes and cycle paths are also planned. But community councils in Radyr and Morganstown and St Fagans are against the scheme, while a petition of more than 200 names and 130 letters have also been submitted in opposition. Plaid Cymru AM Neil McEvoy and Rod McKerlich, councillor for Radyr and Morganstown, are also against it. Their concerns include worries about wildlife, increased traffic, and questions over whether local services could cope with the large influx of new residents it would bring. The planning application will be considered by councillors on Wednesday. A SpaceX cargo ship sent the sequencer into orbit on Monday, along with other items for the crew. It was developed by the UK-based company Oxford Nanopore Technologies. The device is designed to show whether DNA sequencing is possible in microgravity. Nasa hopes DNA sequencers could enable the environmental monitoring of microbes to identify potential causes of illness and understand the health of astronauts. Last year, Nasa microbiologist Dr Sarah Castro said of the project: "Currently aboard the space station there is not a real-time method for identifying microbes, diagnosing infectious disease, and collecting any form of genomic and genetic data concerning crew health. "Meeting these needs relies on returning samples from space to Earth and subsequent ground-based analysis, which takes time." The sequencer, which is just 9.5cm long and weighs 120g, is tiny compared to the microwave-sized devices used on Earth. Media playback is not supported on this device Fletcher was diagnosed with chronic bowel disease ulcerative colitis in 2011 but has returned after surgery. "You can be running to the toilet 10, 20, 30 times a day and losing a lot of blood," said the Scotland midfielder. "I ended up in hospital a couple of times on an IV drip. Surgery enabled me to be here today. I'm very fortunate." I've got young children and just trying to be a dad was very difficult Fletcher first noticed the problem in 2008 but it was not until two years later that it began to have a detrimental impact on his life and career. "I remember when I was first diagnosed being very blasé about it - looking back now that was quite immature," said the 30-year-old. "But as a professional footballer playing in the Premier League for Manchester United I felt on top of the world, I felt untouchable. "I stayed silent until about 2011 or 2012 because it's not something you generally talk about, the symptoms of ulcerative colitis. My close family and friends knew, but nobody else knew at the club. "I found it difficult, making up stories for reasons why I wasn't at training, why I was looking ill, why I was feeling ill, why I was rushing off to the bathroom. Basically lying to people's faces. "Once I started talking about it and making it public knowledge it was such a relief; it was the best thing I did." Fletcher made only one start for United in the final two months of the 2010-11 season and appeared just 10 times the next campaign. It was announced in December 2011 he would take an extended break from the game and he finally underwent surgery in January 2013. "The surgery was a success, I'm better now," explained an emotional Fletcher. "I'm living a normal life and back playing football. "I can't have any relapses now. I'm not going to have episodes where I get extremely ill, get taken to hospital or have a breakdown at any moment. I've got a routine that I stick to and it's working fine. "There are no guarantees with surgery, but it has enabled me to be back playing for Manchester United and feeling great." Fletcher returned to action in on 15 December and has featured in seven of their subsequent 12 matches. At the height of his illness, the Scot was barely able to leave his own home, but he never lost hope of resuming his career. "I've got young children and just trying to be a dad was very difficult," admitted Fletcher, who was speaking at the launch of United for Colitis in aid of Crohn's and Colitis UK. "Doing simple stuff like taking them to the park and going to watch them play football. "But I always had the belief that I'd be back playing. Although doctors and specialists made me aware there was a real possibility that I would never play again, I never got into that mindset. "If I was to accept that then I might not be sitting here today. Although I was prepared to stop playing for the greater good of my health, I was fortunate to find out that playing football wasn't making me ill. "I was able to come through that and to be back playing football is a really nice moment, something I'm really enjoying. "But I can't just settle for being happy to be back and being a bit-part player. I want to be playing every game, being an important part of the team, playing for Scotland, winning trophies and achieving success. "I've definitely got a mindset of making up for lost time." Data from Pearson, which runs the BTEC awards, suggests that girls who take these qualifications are more likely than boys to get top grades. Despite this success, girls are vastly outnumbered by boys on these courses. "When girls do sign up to these vital subjects they flourish," said Pearson president Rod Bristow. Pearson's figures show that the number of girls taking BTECs in science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem) subjects is growing - but from a low base. This year, girls made up 5% of students taking engineering at BTEC Level Two, taken alongside GCSEs. That amounts to 810 girls, a rise from 680 last year. However more than a third (37%) of these girls gained a distinction, compared with 20% of boys. At BTEC Level Three, the proportion of female engineers was just 4% - but again they performed better than their male classmates, with 14% achieving the highest grade, as opposed to 9% of the boys. In information technology (IT), girls made up 38% of the cohort at Level Two but around a third (31%) gained a distinction, compared with 21% of the boys. The proportion of girls taking the more challenging Level Three in IT was just 18% but again their grades were strong with 15% gaining the top grade, compared with 12% of their male classmates. "Still too few girls make the next step in a Stem-related career by studying these subjects at university. This is something educators, business and government all need to work on and put right," said Mr Bristow. Surrey-based student Mehreen Rana, who obtained a distinction in her Level Three BTEC in IT and has a place to study computer science at King's College, London, said: "I hope more girls will follow in my footsteps and realise studying a Stem-related subject at school, college and university could be right for them too." Anna Douglas, director of applied sciences at City and Islington College, said female role models were key to encouraging young women into Stem subjects. "We are fortunate to have a number of female science tutors at the college, many of whom are educated to PhD level, who act as fantastic role models to young female students. This provides them with the skills, confidence and drive to pursue rewarding careers through Stem subjects." Helen Wollaston of Women into Science and Engineering said the results proved "that girls can do science, IT and engineering. "At a time when UK industry is crying out for more people with Stem qualifications, we have to get more of this female talent into the workforce." MP Andrew Miller, chairman of the Commons Science and Technology Committee said it was important to find out why girls with science qualifications were not following through into Stem careers. Engineering UK's chief executive Paul Jackson said the wider engineering community was working to "engage and inspire girls and boys in equal measure". Pearson's figures came as the Institute of Physics (IoP) announced that three quarters of UK university physics departments have now signed up to its Juno Code of Practice, aimed at fighting gender inequality in the subject. Women make up one-fifth of physics undergraduates but only 7% of physics professors. The aim of Juno is to redress this with better childcare provision, flexible working and a more transparent organisational structure, says the IoP. Mr Agnew, fondly known as Aggers, was a bowler for Leicestershire before joining BBC Radio Leicester and then the BBC's Test Match Special. His suggestion that Ian Botham had failed to "get his leg over" was voted the greatest sporting commentary ever in a poll. Mr Agnew said he was "really thrilled" to be made MBE. "It's great to get a pat on the back no matter what you do and this is a big pat," he said. "Test Match Special is a tight knit crew and I look at this as a team award. "I've also been able to be more of an all-rounder, having done the Olympics and royal events, but I know cricket, and cricket on the radio is my home". The famous "leg over" comment was broadcast on 9 August 1991, while commentating on the day's play at the Oval on Test Match Special. Aggers and the late Brian Johnston both dissolved into helpless laughter. "People have tried to write off radio but it is unique," Mr Agnew said. "It is warmer and more personal and on long programmes like Test Match Special it is like a soap opera in terms of the characters the listeners get to know. "It gets cricket and sport out there to new and wider audiences." Claire Lomas, who completed the London Marathon in a robotic suit, is also among Leicestershire's New Years Honours recipients. The 36-year-old has been appointed MBE for charitable and voluntary services to spinal injury research. Ms Lomas has raised more than £570,000 for charities since being paralysed from the chest down in a horse riding accident in 2007. As well as completing the London Marathon in 2012, Ms Lomas hand-cycled 400 miles around England in 2013, and completed the Great North Run in September while 16 weeks pregnant. Her challenges have raised money for Spinal Research and the Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation. Ramandeep Kaur Mann, of Derby, was arrested after her husband Sukhjit Singh was found with his throat slit on 2 September in Banda, Uttar Pradesh. Their neighbour Nick Rai believes Mr Singh, 34, was murdered as a result of a dispute over land he owned in India. Ms Kaur Mann has been arrested but has not yet been charged. "They were a devoted couple, no doubt about it. They were devoted to their children, their home, their work and their local Sikh temple where he spent a lot of time and gave a lot of his time," said Mr Raj of Littleover, Derby. In a news conference in India, a police spokesman said Mr Singh's throat was cut and he was hit on the head with a heavy instrument. Police said Ms Kaur Mann had colluded with her alleged lover Gurpeet Singh, her husband's childhood friend, in the murder. But Mr Rai said: "I believe that Sukhjit was killed over a dispute over land that he owned in India. It is my belief that his wife and his friend were not involved. "I believe the real reason behind the murder… is that Sukhjit owned land in India and someone wanted to take that land from him." He added that Mr Singh's mother had warned her son not to return to the ancestral property because he would be in danger. The Foreign Office said it was providing assistance to a British national who had been detained and to the family of Mr Singh. Prayers will be said at the Sri Guru Singh Sabha temple in Derby over several days. The school is introducing a "trouser uniform" and a "skirt uniform" that can be worn by pupils up to age 16, regardless of their biological gender. At least one person with gender dysphoria has taken up the option, according to the college. Head Richard Cairns said the change to its 170-year-old code followed requests from a "small number of families". "It ties in with my strong personal belief that youngsters should be respected for who they are," he added. "If some boys and girls are happier identifying with a different gender from that in which they were born, then my job is to make sure that we accommodate that. "My only interest as headmaster is their welfare and happiness." Mr Cairns said whereas most schools gave transgender pupils "personal leeway with uniform" he wanted to "abolish the notion of boys' and girls' schools altogether". "Traditional uniform will be worn but the type of uniform will be a matter for the individual boy or girl, always assuming parental support." Fred Dimbleby, a sixth-form pupil at the college, said the change had support across the school and gave Brighton College a "real sense of unity". "I think it would be great if all schools took up this idea. Secondary school is such a formative period for people so it's important to encourage people to be who they are and who they want to be." Brighton College teaches up to 900 pupils aged between 11 and 18. The A$715m ($524m; £347m) offer, made in December, was described as too low and opportunistic. Ferrovial first attempted to buy the company in late 2014 but abandoned the bid after failing to get support from Broadspectrum's board. Shares in Broadspectrum closed 1.2% lower on Thursday. Broadspectrum, which last September changed its name from Transfield Services, is an outsourcing and construction services company. It operates in several sectors, including infrastructure, property, defence and financial services. One of its biggest revenue sources comes from a contract to run Australia's offshore detention centres on Papua New Guinea's Manus Island and on Nauru in the Pacific. Human rights groups have criticised the management of the centres and the company has faced allegations of abuse and sexual misconduct by its employees. The protest in the capital, Dhaka, demanded its removal. The demonstrators say the figure, a variation on the Greek goddess Themis but in a sari, goes against Islam. The protest is another sign of tension between Islamic conservatism and liberal values in Bangladesh. Backers of the conservative Islamist group, Hefazat-e-Islam, gathered outside the Baitul Mokarram mosque after Friday prayers, carrying placards and promising further protests across the country if the statue was not removed. The protesters say the figure, erected in December and holding the familiar sword and scales of justice in her hands, amounts to idolatry. "Statues or any kind of idols are completely banned in Islam," one demonstrator told the BBC. "There is no place for a statue in our religion. So Muslims can't allow a statue in the Supreme Court premises." There is growing tension in Bangladeshi society, and politics, between Islamic conservatives and more moderate, secular voices who want to defend pluralism and free speech, said the BBC South Asia Editor Jill McGivering. The protesters' demands present the government with a dilemma at a sensitive time, she added. Evidence of tension has come in the form of a series of murders of liberal writers and attacks by Islamist militants in recent years. Members of the National Union of Students (NUS-USI) are holding their annual conference in Templepatrick, County Antrim, on Tuesday. Ahead of the conference, the NUS president Rebecca Hall said continued budget cuts would create a "lost generation" of students in the future. She also called on the government to lower the voting age to 16. The Department for Employment and Learning (DEL), which is responsible for higher education funding in Northern Ireland, is facing cuts of £82m or 10.8% from its annual spending. "This is arguably the first generation that could have worse prospects than their parents," Ms Hall said. "They could have less education opportunities, they have worse job prospects, lower pay and higher living costs than their parents. "Many in this generation also feel they have to leave Northern Ireland. They could become a lost generation if government does not act to address these deeply damaging issues." In 2012, the Stormont assembly backed a motion calling on the voting age to be reduced to 16. However, electoral policy is not devolved and remains the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Office (NIO). Ms Hall said students aged 16 and 17 deserved a chance to vote on issues affecting further education. "Many further education students cannot have a say on the cuts that will have such a massive impact on their educational lives," she said. "Sixteen-year-olds pay tax to the government so why should they not have a say on how their taxes are spent?" Transline Group said it was suffering from "tighter margins in the recruitment industry". A spokesman said it was appointing administrators to protect its "business, employees and customers". Last year, a Commons committee raised concerns over working conditions at Sports Direct's main Shirebrook warehouse. The move gives the firm 10 days to find a solution to its financial problems. MPs criticised the agency after it gave evidence at a Commons committee inquiry in 2016, saying their testimony "lacked credibility". A Transline spokesperson said: "We are close to securing inward investment that will allow us to drive forward with continued growth and infrastructure development. "We expect to hear more regarding potential trading investments imminently." Unite assistant general secretary Steve Turner said the "current uncertainty" over Transline's future was "yet more evidence of the need for Sports Direct to wean itself off its over-reliance on temporary agency workers at its Shirebrook warehouse. "Sports Direct must urgently move to put agency workers onto permanent contracts to bring security to the workforce and certainty to the business," he said. "Transline must not be allowed to dodge its responsibilities or the back pay it owes for non-payment of the minimum wage at Sports Direct." Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley recently sanctioned the appointment of a workers' representative to the firm's board in an attempt to improve the company's image. Mr Ashley said he would walk away from the company if he failed to rectify it. Last July, MPs accused the retailer of not treating its workers like humans and claimed its working practices were similar to those of a Victorian workhouse. Aberystwyth University and three partner organisations were given £239,512 by the UK government towards developing the bag. It will protect the crops against excess humidity, disease, drought and pests. The money is a share of £16m distributed by the Agri-Tech Catalyst. John Yuill died and Lamara Bell was critically injured in the crash on the M9 on Sunday, but the pair were only discovered by officers on Wednesday. Sir Stephen House said information from a call received on Sunday had not been entered into police systems. The chief constable admitted that the force had "failed both families". There have been calls for an independent investigation of the case. The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) is reviewing the handling of the incident, focusing on the call on Sunday. Mr Yuill, 28, was killed and Ms Bell, 25, is in a medically induced coma at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, having suffered kidney damage from dehydration from lying in the wreckage for so long. Her condition was described by doctors as "very serious". Her family said they were angry and disgusted by the way Police Scotland had handled the case. The chief constable said a member of the public had called the 101 non-emergency number at about 11:30 on Sunday after seeing the car down the embankment near the Bannockburn slip road. The call had been taken by an "experienced officer", who remains on duty. However, "for reasons yet to be established" this was never entered into systems or sent out to operational teams in the area. Sir Stephen said: "Firstly I want to apologise to the families of John Yuill and Lamara Bell and to the people of Scotland for this individual failure in our service. Everyone in Police Scotland feels this most profoundly. "Our duty is to keep people safe and we've not done that effectively on this occasion, with tragic consequences, and I want to apologise to everyone for that. "I completely understand the level of concern being raised about the circumstances surrounding the handling of the incident of the crash near the M9 slip road at Bannockburn and, in particular, Police Scotland's response to information received. "That we failed both families involved is without doubt." Sir Stephen said the incident had been "rightly" referred to Pirc and the Crown Office, and that police would remain independent of the investigation. Justice secretary Michael Matheson, also the local MSP for Falkirk West, said he was keen for the investigations to be taken forward in a "quick and very swift way". He said he had been assured by Police Scotland that all relevant information would be passed on to Pirc. Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie has written to Mr Matheson asking for a full independent inquiry, saying the closure of a number of local control rooms under the move to the single police force could have had a "detrimental impact". He said: "Public anger and sadness over the events which unfolded this week has been substantial, and underlines the importance of getting answers over how this situation unfolded. "There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that the decision to close a number of police control rooms has had a detrimental impact on the quality of service that hard-working call centre staff are able to provide. "Our response to this incident must allow for a close examination of the current situation in Police Scotland's remaining call centres. If these cuts have made life more difficult for officers and the communities they serve, then we need to know about it." They were testing old drugs to see if any killed the dysentery bug. Tests on animals, published in Nature Medicine , showed that auranofin was 10 times more effective than the best drug currently available. Further studies will be needed in humans, but researchers say it holds great promise. Amoebic dysentery is caused by Entamoeba histolytica, which infects the bowels. It results in severe diarrhoea including bloody stools. More than 70,000 people are thought to die from the disease each year - most are in developing countries. US researchers tested 910 drugs, some of which had already been shown to be safe for human use, on amoebas in the laboratory. It showed that auranofin was much better than the current treatment, metronidazole, at killing Entamoeba histolytica. Follow-up experiments showed that it was also more effective at treating mice and hamsters which had been infected with the ameoba. It has been prescribed to patients with rheumatoid arthritis since 1985. One of the researchers, Prof James McKerrow, from the Sandler Center for Drug Discovery at the University of California, San Francisco, said: "When we're looking for new treatments for the developing world, we start with drugs that have already been approved. "If we can find an approved drug that happens to kill these organisms, we've leapfrogged the development process that goes into assessing whether they are safe, which also makes them affordable throughout the world." Prof Sharon Reed, from the University of California, San Diego, said: "Because auranofin has already been approved for use in humans, we can save years of expensive development. "This new use of an old drug represents a promising therapy for a major health threat." Dr Graham Clark, a reader in molecular parasitology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said metronidazole was very effective, but it did have side effects and was not always successful. He said: "The work presented in this paper is particularly useful as it identifies an existing drug, auranofin, that has already been tested and approved for use in humans, which seems to be at least as effective as metronidazole. "Although auranofin has to date only been tested in animal models of amoebic disease, this means that there is now a potential alternative treatment for individual cases where metronidazole fails to cure the infection or in the event resistance to metronidazole emerge as a clinical problem in the future." Similar memorials have sprung up recently following the deaths of music legend David Bowie and Motorhead's Lemmy, with fans using social media to share their tributes from the sites. Flowers, notes and scarves were left at the site at London's King's Cross Station hours after news of Alan Rickman's death broke. The film and theatre actor, who died on Thursday, reached a new generation of devotees when he played Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films. Jon in London shared his photos. He says: "Harry Potter has been part of my childhood. "I grew up with Harry, but Snape was always my favourite character. Alan brought him so brilliantly to life. "I even have a Slytherin tattoo! "It definitely feels a part of Snape has passed on with Alan and I wanted to mark it with a fitting tribute at King's Cross." Claire in London: "I've been a fan from the start of the books, the films brought my imagination of the books to life. "Alan Rickman was perfect as Snape. No-one would have been able to play him any better. "I was passing the area and decided to go and take a moment to remember Alan Rickman and what he did for the Harry Potter world." As every Harry Potter fan knows, platform 9 3/4 is where young wizards leave for Hogwarts. This fan didn't want to miss the chance to pay homage at the makeshift shrine. It's not the first time fans have expressed their grief at the passing of a celebrity by gravitating to a spot that they are synonymous with. When David Bowie died flowers began to appear at a mural in Brixton in London, the area where he was born. Coralie Grassin from Hampshire shared her photo of a David Bowie mural on Facebook after paying her respects: "It was strange and very emotional. But there were also a lot of selfies being taken. "The popularity of social media means you can share the moment with fans who aren't there. "But it also feels like you have to prove your presence, to be 'trendy'. "I watched a girl spend 10 minutes trying to photograph the red rose she was holding with the perfect background. First with her camera, then with her phone. By the time she was finished, there was no emotion left. She threw the rose on the pile and left. "Thankfully though some raw emotions do survive modern times." Perhaps it is understandable that the death of a public figure triggers a public display of mourning. In December, when British rock star Lemmy Kilmister lost his battle with cancer, devotees packed his favourite bar and grill, the Rainbow on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles in the US. They placed flowers, cigarettes and bottles of Jack Daniel's on a makeshift shrine on the pavement outside the bar. On the bar's patio, they signed their names and on a giant picture of him they wrote their tributes. Joe Bagnato from Florida was one fan who travelled to the Rainbow. "There is no Motorhead unless Lemmy is behind that Rickenbacker bass," he said. Following the death of Amy Winehouse in 2011, flowers and messages began appearing outside the singer's Camden home in London. Today a permanent memorial stands in Camden so fans can continue to pay their respects. Perhaps it was the death of Princess Diana that marked a shift in the way we mourn. In 1997, when the "people's princess" died, thousands of individual moments of quiet reflection were demonstrated publicly. Now the spread of the internet and increasing social media use allows us the freedom to easily share those expressions of our collective grief. Produced by Rozina Sini In the blue corner, Tom Winsor, now HM chief inspector of constabulary, who was asked to review police pay and conditions in England and Wales by the Home Office in 2010. In the red corner - Lord Stevens of Kirkwhelpington, a former Metropolitan Police commissioner and crossbench peer, who was asked to head an independent commission on policing by the Labour party last year. In a letter to Lord Stevens obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, Mr Winsor records his dismay at parts of the peer's report, which he describes as "beyond rational comprehension" and "plainly unsustainable". The reply from Lord Stevens quotes a series of often personal criticisms of Mr Winsor from police officers. One claims "Winsor was not independent" and that his review was "politically driven". The personal feud reflects a deeper clash between police officers who resent a civilian having such a central role in their future, and Conservative politicians who think it is best for an outsider to push through necessary reform and scrutiny. The row began when Lord Stevens published his review of policing last November and criticised Mr Winsor for a "failure to engage" properly with serving police officers before announcing his controversial reform proposals. The report described the Home Office-commissioned Winsor review as "a damaging process" and said the reforms had "not been accompanied by adequate discussion or engagement with those most affected." The Labour party-commissioned Stevens' report also appeared to hint that the government's review had been politically motivated, saying the reform package "needs to be subject to independent review in due course". Tom Winsor was furious and demanded Lord Stevens withdraw any suggestion that he had failed adequately to consult. "This is plainly unsustainable," Mr Winsor wrote in a letter dated 16 December, noting that he had already told Lord Stevens about the "over 7,000 submissions from police officers and others" as well as written and oral evidence obtained by his review. "How this can be described as a failure to engage the police service is beyond rational comprehension," the letter continues. "I was further dismayed to see that, notwithstanding my clear explanation to you of how extensively we did engage with the police service in the review, you repeated the criticism without amendment in your oral presentation of the report." In an angry conclusion to his letter, Mr Winsor writes "the failure of any communication to me on the subject when one was promised, does no credit to the Commission." A reply from Lord Stevens, dated 9 January, apologises for the delay in responding but repeats the central criticism: "The Government's programme of reforms, of which your review was a key element, collectively failed to engage with grass roots members of the Service and key partners." Lord Stevens suggests the process had "contributed to the fall in police morale" and then quotes comments from police officers who had contacted his commission. "PLEASE STOP TOM WINSOR FROM TAKING AWAY ALLOWANCES AND EXTRA PAY FROM HARD WORKING POLICE STAFF. Start listening to the people doing the Job!!!," says one. "It seems to me and a great deal of my colleagues that Winsor was not interested in what any rank and file officer had to say!!!!!!!!!!!!" says another. A third questions the objectivity of the process: "We are being treated like chattels with changes to pay and conditions without independent review. (Winsor was not independent). Policing in the UK needs a Royal Commission, not a politically driven review." Lord Stevens' letter also suggests Mr Winsor ignored evidence from the Police Federation, the organisation representing rank and file officers. "The Federation had a plan of their own that they were keen to share with you whch [sic] they claimed would have saved the police service money but which you took no notice of," Lord Stevens writes. "I am not claiming this to be the truth when there is such disparity in the accounts bu [sic] it is something the Commission could not ignore." The spat reflects police hostility to the idea of the home secretary appointing a non-police officer to review their pay and conditions, anger heightened by Tom Winsor's subsequent appointment as chief inspector of constabulary in 2012. The home affairs select committee said it had received "nearly 100 representations from individual police officers expressing concern" at his nomination for the chief inspector role. Sir Hugh Orde, President of the Association of Chief Police Officers, told them "the appointment of a non-police officer" signalled a step-change from tradition. The Police Superintendents' Association and Police Federation also expressed their opposition to the idea of a civilian being appointed as the boss of HM Inspectorate of Constabulary. The late Paul McKeever, then chairman of the Police Federation, said his members struggled to comprehend "how anyone who has not worked extensively within the police service" could have the necessary understanding for the role. The home secretary, by contrast, has shown great loyalty to Mr Winsor, evidenced by the fact that in December the HMIC was given a £9.4m increase to its budget - money top-sliced from the police budget. Some senior officers have interpreted the move as a deliberate snub to the service and a pat on the back for Mr Winsor. In a further move, Mr Winsor has written again to Lord Stevens this morning, clearly still fuming. Responding to the suggestion that he failed to take any notice of a Police Federation money-saving proposal during his review, Mr Winsor asks why no-one had asked him about the matter. "The rules of natural justice - and basic fairness and courtesy - require that such material matters are put to the person who is the object of the criticism for his or her response," Mr Winsor writes. "I cannot understand how the Commission could have thought accepting these criticisms in this was fair or responsible." Lord Stevens has said that a colleague on his commission, Professor Jennifer Brown, had emailed Mr Winsor's office on two occasions prior to the launch of his report "without receiving any response". Mr Winsor has responded saying there is no "record or recollection of any attempt on the part of Professor Brown to communicate" during the period in question. The 26-year-old former Melbourne Rebels man can play as a wing or at full-back. "He is an excellent acquisition. He has consistently impressed in Super Rugby," director of rugby Andy Robinson said. Woodward added to the club website: "I felt it was the right time for me to experience playing in a new environment and Bristol is the right fit for me." Scottish middle-distance runner Eilish McColgan is hoping to compete for Great Britain in the 3,000m steeplechase at next year's Rio Olympics. In the wake of renewed allegations about doping in athletics, she tells BBC Sport about the difficulties faced by clean athletes. All athletes who are part of the whereabouts system can access their test results online. I didn't know that. And neither did many of the other athletes I've spoken to since the results of 12,000 blood tests from 5,000 athletes between 2001 and 2012 was leaked to the Sunday Times and German broadcaster ARD/WDR last week. I suppose as a clean athlete, I've never had to concern myself with the numbers. Maybe the athletes who are doping have a much wider knowledge. In order to get the situation straight in my own mind, I had a peek at my own blood reports. For all the good it did. I don't possess the knowledge to interpret what is or isn't suspicious from a bewildering array of numbers. But I want to believe my sport is clean and, as I understand it, these blood values can be spiked or altered with exposure to altitude, altitude tents, pregnancy and illness. These are all things athletes are subjected to, so making a decisive judgement on the matter is very challenging. Many people jump to the conclusion that suspicious data equals doping and, although it seems that way, not all abnormal tests will be. And that is where it becomes tricky. So what about the athletes who have these questionable values? I think it's difficult to claim that one abnormal blood value is suspicious but perhaps if their values were extraordinarily higher than my own - I would start to question them myself. Having said that, I am by no means Olympic medal-winning standard, nor do I live the perfect athlete lifestyle, and so perhaps my figures aren't comparable to these Olympic medal-winning athletes. But I still regularly have to give drug tests in order to pave the way for clean sport. The televised Diamond League meetings that I compete in are plagued by athletes returning from bans, some of whom have made the wrong choice not once, but twice. All sports contain cheats. People want to bypass their way to success and unfortunately drugs are the quickest way to do so. It means suspicion is inevitable. I fully believe it's possible to win medals clean. I'm extremely fortunate to have my mum - 1991 World Championship 10,000m gold medallist Liz McColgan - as a clear example of that. Her training diaries are concrete proof of the hard work and sacrifices she made in order to win major titles. Winning clean is possible - it's just made a lot more difficult, against opposition willing to take the easy route. From a young age the word 'drugs' didn't mean much to me other than 'say no'. Perhaps a little naive on my behalf, but the situation never occurred. However, the word has manifested its way into my life and started to overshadow the sport I love. Now I fear that this data being leaked may give the dopers and their doctors the opportunity to make sure they never breach the boundaries again nor raise the alarm of suspicion. I truly believe the GB team heading to the World Championships later this month are clean and I hope the public can support them. But the same testing procedure is not equal from nation to nation and that is where our main problem lies. Something needs to be done to make sure all countries are singing from the same hymn sheet before we reach the point of no return.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has released the latest figures for the Ebola outbreak. There have been 15,935 reported cases and 5,689 reported deaths. Here is the latest Ebola news for Thursday 27 November - in 15 seconds. The first half was a dull affair with neither side taking control in the wind and rain. Cambridge did have the ball in the net after only four minutes, but an offside flag was raised before Luke Berry headed home from six yards. On 32 minutes it took a superb sliding tackle by Stags defender Mal Benning to stop Conor Newton in his tracks as he shaped to finish. Mansfield's three best goal attempts all came from Mitch Rose. The midfielder volleyed over on 11 minutes, forced Will Norris to block his 20-yard snapshot on 24 minutes and saw Norris well-placed for his ambitious 35-yard dipper just before the break. The second half was no better, though Newton wasted the chance of the game for Cambridge on 61 minutes. Unmarked, and only eight yards out, he turned Berry's cross wide of the far post.

The body of Jordan Kane Woonton, from Nottinghamshire, was found at the residential Pentwyn School at Clyro near Hay-on-Wye in June 2012. The school was closed in December 2012 by Hampshire-based owners, Hillcrest. The Cardiff hearing was told that next autumn's inquest will last two weeks. The school cared for boys with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties and accepted children from across the UK. Hillcrest was fined £2,400 in 2014 after being prosecuted by the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales in relation to the teenager's death. The company admitted employing insufficient experienced staff and not checking their fitness to work there. Assistant Coroner for Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan Chris Woolley said he had agreed to hold the inquest in front of a jury after considering the "youth and vulnerability" of Jordan Woonton, and the fact that the conditions in which Jordan were held were akin to secure accommodation. He said the teenager's family had a "reasonable expectation a jury will be called" and that their expectation should "not be disturbed without good reason". The inquest is expected to take place from September onwards next year, said Mr Wooley. The indigenous Aymara women have centuries of experience of knitting and weaving distinctive woollen hats, sweaters and blankets. Now, they are applying their expertise to a hi-tech medical product - which is used to seal up a "hole in the heart" which some babies are born with. "We are very happy, we are doing something for someone so they can live," says knitter Daniela Mendoza, who weaves the tiny device in a special "clean room". It takes her about two hours to make the Nit Occlud device which was designed by cardiologist Franz Freudenthal. He set up his clinic in La Paz to help children born with heart problems and so far he has saved hundreds of lives. The device, known as an occluder, looks similar to a top hat and is used to block the hole in the patient's heart. Most standard occluders are made on an industrial scale - but Freduenthal's version is so small and intricate that it's technically tricky to mass produce. So he enlisted an army of Bolivia's traditional craft knitters to make them by hand. In the early days he tested the first prototypes on sheep with heart problems. He's since successfully used them on hundreds of children and now exports his new inventions all over the world. "The most important thing is that we try to get really really simple solutions for complex problems," Dr Freudenthal told the BBC. Bolivia is the poorest country in south America and lacks enough specialist hospitals and cardiac doctors to treat children born with heart problems. So cheap innovations are welcome. Freudenthal's devices are made by weaving a single strand of a super-elastic metal used in military industries. Known as nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy, it can memorise its own shape and can be folded up inside a slim catheter which a cardiologist inserts into the the groin. The device remains folded as it travels through blood vessels - and is only expanded when it reaches the right place in the heart. Recovering its original shape, it then blocks the hole or ductus that causes the heart problems. It can stay there without the need to be changed. Dr Freudenthal has earned international praise and awards for his combination of traditional craft techniques and high technology to fix hearts. This minimally invasive approach also helps to avoid cultural barriers to treatment: manipulating a heart is considered an act of desecration on the human soul by some indigenous communities in Bolivia. "By not operating with an open heart" says Dr Freudenthal, "We are also respecting the will of many patients who would not want their children to be operated otherwise." People who live with congenital heart problems struggle to gain weight and are easily fatigued, as their hearts have to work three times harder than a healthy one to pump blood around the body. The problem the device aims to fix is a hole in the heart - which is also known as a patent ductus arteriosus or PDA. Before birth a baby gets oxygen from its mother. A blood vessel which is called the ductus arteroiosus allows blood to bypass the lungs closes up on its own soon after birth. But if it fails to close naturally then there is irregular blood flow in the heart. This can lead to symptoms of breathlessness and a failure to thrive - although there are often no symptoms if the problem is mild. Due to the high altitude and lack of oxygen in La Paz - 4,000 metres above sea level - Freudenthal says that these kind of problems are 10 times more frequent here than in other countries. Six-year-old Cinthia was operated on three years ago. The blood that was supposed to supply her whole body with oxygen and nutrients used to escape through the ductus before it was stopped by one of Freudenthal's devices. Her mother Victoria Hilari recalls "She couldn't even walk one block. She used to tell me she was too tired. She used to get purple when crying, she almost fainted." "That's how I realised she had a problem, but I didn't know what to do. "Now she can run and she's even passing physical education at school." Bolivia has one of the highest children mortality rates in the world. At least for the patients at Dr Freudenthal's clinic, the answer to their problem is in the hands of a group of skilled women with the power of fixing hearts - weaving to save lives. George Honeyman put the visitors ahead after four minutes, blasting in Aiden McGeady's cross from close range. Black Cats strikers Lewis Grabban and James Vaughan went close to making it 2-0, but David Jones' powerful 25-yard strike brought Wednesday level. Both goalkeepers were forced into saves before Owls striker Gary Hooper struck the bar and fired wide late on. Simon Grayson's men had the better of the first half, with McGeady's delivery setting up Honeyman to score his second goal for the club after goalkeeper Keiren Westwood flew off his line. Grabban headed a McGeady free-kick narrowly wide, Brendan Galloway was denied by Westwood and Vaughan blazed over a rebound as the relegated Premier League side looked to add to their advantage. Wednesday had their chances however, with Jason Steele having to be alert to keep out Sam Winnall's effort before Hooper smashed a half-volley against the bar. But despite finishing strongly Wednesday could not find a second goal and are without a win from their opening three Championship matches. Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal: "We started with a loss of concentration but after this we started to impose our football, we started to create chances. "We had more chances than Sunderland. We played a very high level of football in the second half. "We absolutely deserved to win this game with the level of football we played in the second half. We played against a strong team, the way we are playing we will be very strong." Sunderland boss Simon Grayson: "It was two types of different performances from us. If we had taken the chances we would have won the game. "We were comfortable up until they scored the goal, and that got their tails up and we found it difficult. "It's probably a fair result, if we had got the second goal when we had the chances we would have won it. "You come to a difficult place and get a point you will probably take it."

An arbitration panel will determine if the EFL were within their rights to lodge a heavy fine against the London club for exceeding spending limits. The EFL have never said what fine they planned to impose after QPR's promotion to the Premier League in 2014. However, it was anticipated at the time it could be as much as £58m. QPR were limited to making losses of £8m for the season in question. Their actual loss was £9.8m, but owner Tony Fernandes and other shareholders also wrote off £60m in loans as an "exceptional item". The Loftus Road club were relegated back into the Championship after one season. Parts of the site at Metal Bridge, between the A1 and Spennymoor in County Durham, have been cordoned off and covered by tents. Durham Police said they were called at 11:45 GMT on Saturday to the graveyard, which has no adjacent church. They asked anyone who has information to contact them but would not give further details about what happened.

The US Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) said Iat Hong, 26, Bo Zheng, 30, and Hung Chin, 50, breached the websites of US law firms and accessed confidential information about mergers and acquisitions. They then used this information to profit on the stock market. The men, who have not been extradited, were fined in their absence. According to the SEC, which charged the men in December, they racked up almost $3m (£2.3m) in illegal profits by hacking two prominent New York law firms. This involved installing malware to access and download gigabytes of confidential emails, it said. The trio then bought shares in listed companies ahead of announcements about their merger plans - something that often causes stock to jump. In a judgement on 5 May, the Southern District of New York said the accused had accepted liability by failing to respond to the allegations. It said each should pay a the maximum penalty available, as well as returning their ill-gotten gains. Mr Hong must pay $1.8m, Mr Zheng, $1.9m, and Mr Chin, $4m. Any US assets they own will also be frozen. Mr Hong's mother, Sou Cheng Lai, has meanwhile been ordered to return more than $900,000 of illicit profits held on behalf of her son. The men still face a variety of other charges and, if found guilty, could face lengthy prison terms. The counts against them include conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit computer intrusion, unlawful access, and intentional damage. Mr Sanchez accused him of being unfit to govern because of a succession of corruption scandals that have hit the ruling Popular Party (PP). The prime minister hit back, accusing his rival of making contemptible allegations. Mr Rajoy's centre-right party may soon be ruing a case of too little, too late for the 20 December vote, in terms of its election campaign, as well as Spain's economic indicators. Opinion polls suggest it is set to win, although falling well short of the absolute majority it currently enjoys. The prime minister had argued he was too busy nursing the country out of its deep economic crisis to take part in the two previous TV debates. He left the stage to Pedro Sanchez and the leaders of two rising parties, which are about to make forming a majority a very complicated business in the new parliament. Pablo Iglesias heads the left-wing Podemos party, while Albert Rivera leads the centrist Ciudadanos (Citizens). New faces in Spain's general election Spain enters a new political era Mr Rajoy's argument would have convinced few Spaniards who had heard him on the COPE radio station discussing football with sports journalists and his son, in the week before the campaign got under way. Albert Rivera and Pablo Iglesias have made hay out of corruption allegations surrounding the PP, and the Podemos leader was judged to have won last week's TV debate. The Citizens leader said the prime minister had sent his deputy out to bat because he had been tarnished by the Luis Barcenas scandal, referring to a judicial investigation into the former PP treasurer and an alleged slush fund worth tens of millions of euros in Swiss bank accounts. Mr Rajoy said on Monday night that his government had taken difficult decisions and was now creating half a million jobs a year, to bring unemployment back to the same 21% level as it was at four years ago. But the PP is heading for a huge loss in support on Sunday, even though it may still run out as a narrow winner over its rivals. According to Monday's final Metroscopia poll for the El Pais newspaper, the PP is set to win 25%, down from its 45% haul in 2011. Pedro Sanchez was elected as new leader by party members last year, but support for the Socialists is expected to fall from its worst electoral showing last time of 29% to just 21% on Sunday. In the final TV debate he acted like a man with little or nothing to lose. "If you continue as prime minister, the cost for democracy is enormous. You are not a decent politician", the Socialist leader told Mr Rajoy. A visibly irate prime minister condemned his accusations as "contemptible and mean-spirited", pointing to recent reforms aimed at combating political corruption as well as Spain's first transparency law. With Podemos and Citizens expected to pick up 19% and 18% of the vote respectively, and Pedro Sanchez publicly ruling out a grand coalition with the PP, any parliamentary majority will require a complex set of political deals to be struck. Citizens lent its support to governments from both left and right after regional elections in May, while Podemos and the Socialists are themselves co-operating in some places. But both new parties will demand significant anti-corruption measures from any future suitor. Housing row in Catalonia: Taking back Barcelona's apartments The vanishing rural population in Castile and Leon: Resisting change in a dying village Education in Murcia: Spain's voters call for shake-up in classroom The chancellor said the Royal Mail shares money - valued at £1.5bn - would be used to pay down the national debt. The £3bn in cuts come ahead of further reductions to be announced in July. The NHS, schools and overseas aid are protected from cuts - but other departments such as the Home Office and MoD will have to find savings. Labour accused Mr Osborne of "ripping up" his long term economic plan by springing the announcement on MPs. The SNP said the move "poses real danger to the postal service and, in particular, the universal service obligation which is of huge importance to Scotland". The government is committed to clearing the deficit by 2018/19 without increasing income tax or VAT, something Mr Osborne said would not be "easy". He needs to find a further £30bn of savings over the next three years, including £12bn to come out of welfare spending and £13bn from cuts to government departments. Former Labour leader Ed Miliband made his first Commons speech since losing the general election in the debate on the Queen's Speech, urging the chancellor to ensure David Cameron followed through "on his one nation rhetoric". Mr Miliband promised to hold Mr Cameron's government to account from the backbenches and said the Labour Party needed to do some "hard and painful thinking" about why it lost the election. The government holds a 30% stake in the Royal Mail, with the remaining 70% held by a combination of employees and private investors. Shares in Royal Mail were initially floated at 330p per share, and were trading at 526p at market close on Wednesday but fell 2.5% on Mr Osborne's announcement. Labour came up with the idea of selling off part of the Royal Mail, which is a separate company to the still publicly-owned Post Office, in 2008. But the plan proved hugely controversial, with the trade unions threatening strike action and it was ditched in 2009, with then Business Secretary Lord Mandelson blaming weak market conditions. Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable resurrected the idea when the coalition government came to power. But he was accused by the National Audit Office of selling it off far too cheaply, losing taxpayers millions. Shares climbed 70% higher than their original 2013 sale price. Mr Cable refused to apologise, and said that the sale had raised £2bn for the taxpayer, with a further £1.5bn from the 30% stake in Royal Mail which it had retained. Mr Osborne told MPs: "I am today announcing that the Government will begin selling the remaining 30% shareholding we have in the Royal Mail. "It is the right thing to do for the Royal Mail, the businesses and families who depend on it - and crucially for the taxpayer. "Further savings in departments this year - and selling our stake in the Royal Mail. "Getting on with what we promised. Reducing the deficit - that is how you deliver lasting economic security for working people. "For as everyone knows, when it comes to living within your means, the sooner you start the smoother the ride." Business secretary Sajid Javid said the Royal Mail sell-off would happen "in the lifetime of this parliament" but that the government would listen to specially-appointed independent advisers about exactly how and when. "We have plenty of time to work on this. I don't think it's the kind of thing we want to rush into in anyway." He said his "overriding concern" was to "get the best possible deal for taxpayers". Mr Osborne said £3bn in efficiency savings had been achieved by belt-tightening in non-protected government departments and asset sales, including publicly-owned land around King's Cross station in London. The savings were made in the Home Office, DWP and Defra and business department including the higher and further education budgets. The Ministry of Defence will have to find £500m of savings this year, about 1.5% of its total budget. The MOD says that it will come from "efficiency savings" and will not impact operations or manpower. An MOD source says the cut "could have been worse" and is "manageable" but the BBC understands it might have an impact on the department's equipment plans. Mr Osborne will set out full details of future spending cuts in a Budget statement on 8 July. The director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, Paul Johnson, said the £3bn worth of cuts in the current financial year was a "useful down payment" but "big difficult decisions" were still required. "£3bn will be tough to find in a single year but it's relatively small compared with the very tough target the Chancellor has set himself," he said. The IFS has said public spending cuts of 1% a year in 2016-17 and 2017-18 will be more difficult to achieve than was suggested in the Conservative Party's general election manifesto. In a statement, the think tank said: "The cuts that the government announces later this year in next month's Budget and the following Spending Review may turn out to be deliverable. "But they certainly will not feel like just 1% being taken out of each area of spending, nor will it require merely "£13 billion from departmental savings" as the Conservative manifesto described. "While not inaccurate, these numbers give a misleading impression of what departmental spending in many areas will look like if the manifesto commitment to eliminate the deficit by 2018-19, largely through spending cuts, while not cutting spending in many areas, is to be met." TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said: "The chancellor's plan for fast and extreme cuts will hold back growth, and it will slash the tax credits and vital services that workers and their families rely on." Here is a full list of the departmental cuts announced by Mr Osborne: The pro-European politician, recently appointed as a government adviser, told the Daily Politics Britain had "failed" to resist European integration. Lord Heseltine said European countries would "cling on" to the euro. The eurozone faced a "crisis" but he said it was a "very Eurosceptic view" to see the euro as a "failed project". Asked if he thought the UK would adopt the single currency, he said: "If it survives, and my guess is it will survive, my guess is in the future - it won't be this week or next week or next year - we will do so, because the whole process of Europeanisation we have resisted and we have failed at every turn. "If you look at the history of it, we were asked to lead it and we refused." The peer served as a cabinet minister in the 1980s before resigning and later challenging Margaret Thatcher for the Conservative leadership - a challenge that triggered the end of her premiership in 1990. Lord Heseltine, who was also deputy prime minister during the latter part of John Major's time in Downing Street, said: "Every time we've had these arguments... it's always turned out to be unworkable from our point of view." David Cameron said last December there was "absolutely no prospect of joining the euro" while he was prime minister. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, whose Lib Dems are the most pro-European of the three largest UK parties, said in September he thought it was very unlikely that "we will see this country entering the euro during my political lifetime". Labour leader Ed Miliband told the BBC last year he thought joining the euro would be "very, very unlikely... I don't think it's going to happen... I can't see it in the foreseeable future". The 28-year-old South African returned from Rugby Championship international duty for his country in October with a shoulder injury. It was expected to keep him out for three months and he is ahead of his schedule in his rehabilitation. But chief executive Jim O'Toole says the Warriors are in the process of finalising a compensation payment. "Francois Hougaard came back from South Africa carrying an injury which he suffered during his campaign with them and we've had to pick up the pieces from that," he told BBC Sport. "It has been disappointing to lose one of your top players, and one of your highest paid players too, for such a long period. "He's a freak of nature, in terms of his rehabilitation, and we're hoping he's back a little bit earlier than originally anticipated. "But we're working with our friends at the South African Rugby Union and World Rugby under 'regulation nine' to make sure that we get compensation." Hougaard played on the wing for South Africa in four of their six Rugby Championship games - twice against both Australia and New Zealand. But it is in his main position of scrum-half that Warriors need him, especially following the loss of Jonny Arr against Wasps on Sunday with concussion. O'Toole envisages him forging a successful partnership with highly-rated teenager Jamie Shillcock, who has seized his chance in the absence of injured pair Tom Heathcote and Ryan Lamb. "We have had two other long-term injuries at 10," said O'Toole. "But, with Shillcock settling in and Hougaard alongside, we hope to get even more out of what is already an exciting back line over the second half of the season." Warriors will reach the halfway point of the Premiership season when they meet winless bottom club Bristol on Boxing Day at Ashton Gate - a fixture they would go into with a lot more optimism if Hougaard is fit. But, with England centre Ben Te'o to return following the autumn internationals, O'Toole feels a lot more confident heading into the second half of the campaign. "The Six Nations will help us," he said. "We've been fortunate that we will play some of the top teams in that window (home games with Saracens and Exeter, as well as an away game at Northampton). "Losing players for the autumn internationals disrupts the flow of the league. And that came on top of losing Ben Te'o with concussion in his second game. "He scored a try at Sixways almost under Eddie Jones' nose, from where he was watching in one of the West Stand boxes. then he had to come off at half time as he had taken a whack. But he's fully fit now and we're looking forward to getting him back too." Denise Shields and fiancé Peter Magee have spent the last year planning their wedding on Scotland's Isle of Mull. But a strike by RMT union members of ferry operator CalMac means the Belfast couple and their guests may not get to the island for Saturday's ceremony. Denise is now hoping for a last minute intervention help to save her day. The couple chose Tobermory on the Isle of Mull as their wedding venue after they "fell in love" with it during holidays to the West Highland Yachting Week, one of Scotland's biggest yachting events. She told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster programme that there was a possibility the wedding could be called-off. The hotel the couple have booked contacted Denise on Sunday to inform her of the planned industrial action that will affect sailings on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Denise, Peter and most of their families and friends had planned to leave for Oban on Scotland's west coast on Thursday, before catching the ferry on Friday. Some guests are travelling from as far as Spain and Saudi Arabia for the wedding. "I'm on the final stages of a panic," Denise said. "I would quite like the ferry company to come forward with a solution themselves, and possibly the RMT union. "We can charter a boat but it's incredibly expensive and it has to be at all our own costs, as the ferry company are basically saying it'll only refund our tickets and that's it." Denise and Peter are both keen sailors, and they hope a good Samaritan with a sizable boat will be able to end their logistical nightmare if CalMac cannot. "Myself and Peter have been sailing for many, many years and we go to the race week most years, the western islands of Scotland are beautiful." The hotel has suggested other solutions for the couple, but Denise says they are "not ideal". "The hotel are being amazing and the only reason we know about the strike is because of the hotel - the ferry company never contacted us. "They're saying there's the potential of a small boat from a place called Lochaline. "It's another two-and-a-half, three-hour journey from Oban to get to it and everybody who wants to get to Mull will be waiting for that small ferry." Some 1,000 police officers were involved in searches that took place early on Thursday at Salafists' homes and meeting places in seven states. A Salafist group called Millatu Ibrahim, based in the western city of Solingen, has been banned. The raids follow clashes between police and some Salafists. German authorities believe the Salafists want to create a Sunni Islamic caliphate opposed to Western democracy and that some of the group support martyrdom and using violence. Raids took place in Bavaria, Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia, among other states. In one of the raids, police removed items from the home of Salafist preacher Ibrahim Abu Nagie in Cologne. The authorities have been monitoring Salafist campaigns to recruit supporters, including the distribution of free Korans. There are believed to be about 4,000 active Salafists in Germany, the state-owned broadcaster ARD reports. The BBC's Stephen Evans, in Berlin, said that Germany has a track record of violent Islamism, with some of the men who took part in the attacks of 11 September 2001 having worshipped at a Hamburg mosque. But, he adds, most of Germany's Muslims, most of whom are Turkish in origin, shun violence. The biggest increase was in unsecured borrowing, such as bank loans and overdrafts. That accounted for £1.1bn of the overall rise, which was the highest figure since February 2008. By contrast, mortgage and credit card lending was broadly flat. The number of mortgages approved in March was 61,341, a small fall from 61,523 in February. Credit card lending increased by just £200m over the same period. One reason for the rise in bank loans is likely to be record low borrowing rates. A year ago, anyone borrowing £5,000 would have had to pay 9.1%, according to the website Moneyfacts. Now the same amount can be borrowed for 8.1%. Last week the debt charity StepChange warned that increased borrowing might eventually result in increased debt. Following the latest figures, one economist repeated that concern. "March's sharp rise will likely fuel concern that consumers will pile up debt again to fund spending," said Howard Archer, the chief European and UK economist with IHS Global Insight. But earlier this week, the Insolvency Service reported the lowest number of personal insolvencies since 2005. The youngster climbed on to the belt in the arrivals hall on Sunday afternoon, leading to his father also getting on to try to retrieve him. He had been freed when paramedics arrived and was treated for arm and leg injuries before going to hospital. His father suffered knee injuries. The airport said it was investigating what happened. The boy's father did not require hospital treatment. Latest updates, plus more Birmingham stories Saturday's 46-25 home defeat by Ulster consigned Ospreys to eighth place in the Pro12 table. Osprey went into the game needing a win to clinch sixth spot and a place in the European Champions Cup. "From an Ospreys point of view they'll be devastated," said Bristol head coach Holley. Media playback is not supported on this device "They finished as the third Welsh region and had a poor season by their standards." Blues' 21-17 win over Edinburgh was the only Welsh success on a final weekend of matches which saw Scarlets beaten 31-15 in Munster and Dragons thrashed 47-22 by Zebre. Scarlets will be Wales' only representatives in the top-flight Champions Cup, with Ospreys missing out for the first time since the region was created in 2003. They will now play in the second-tier Challenge Cup along with Dragons and Blues. Holley, who was head coach at the Swansea-based region between 2008 and 2012, says high-profile players will be particularly disappointed. "It's the first time out of the upper echelons of Europe, how are they going to bounce back?" he asked. "If you're Alun Wyn Jones or Dan Biggar you don't want to play in the Challenge Cup - you want to be in the top competition. "They are used to dining at the top table and attracting signings for the following year - for recruitment it is huge." It is part of the Royal Mint's "Queen's Beasts" series, which celebrates ten creatures from centuries of royal heraldry. The red dragon design will appear on one ounce and quarter-ounce gold coins, as well as on a two-ounce silver coin. Designer Jody Clark said: "I wanted to replicate the sense of strength and courage the beasts were designed to convey." Ynys Mon MP Albert Owen said he backed devolution but it was "unbalanced", "asymmetrical" and needed "adjusting". Calling for a constitutional convention, he said he did not believe UK ministers' plans for "English votes for English laws" would help matters. Earlier, he told BBC Radio Wales they did not allow for MPs with constituents crossing the border for services. Speaking during a Westminster Hall debate on Wednesday, Mr Owen said that he had supported devolution since the 1970s, when many in his party did not, and now he wanted to "go a step further than my party". "I believe in a federal United Kingdom," he said. "I think we should have an English parliament and I think we should have an English parliament within the United Kingdom and I feel we should retain a UK parliament for foreign affairs, for other bigger issues that concern the whole of the United Kingdom." But Mr Owen said that devolution had to be "practical" and "real" because it concerned health and transport services, which were often east-west in the UK. He said that most of the decisions that affect Wales were made in the Department for Transport. "We have the debacle over the West Coast line, which affects not just my constituents, the whole of north Wales and the whole of England. "It's an interconnector and a corridor between Ireland and London, going through north Wales. "So it would be, I think, crazy, for north Wales MPs not to have a say, not to be able to question the secretary of state when big decisions go wrong like that." Newport East Labour MP Jessica Morden said that in south Wales 48% of the population lived within 25 miles of the border and in constituencies like hers many Welsh people used education and health services in England. Conservative MP James Gray said: "My constituents in North Wiltshire may well use the National Health Service in Wales, but I can have no say whatsoever over the way the National Health Service in Wales is run. "Why should it be one way but not the other?" Conservative MP for Eddisbury and former assembly member Antoinette Sandbach said the "reality" of Welsh devolution was that "the decisions of the assembly led to a centralising of power out of the regions of Wales and into Cardiff". Now Makars' Court, the tribute to Scottish writers in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, has had two more wordsmiths added to its ranks. Memorials to poets George Campbell Hay (1915 - 1984) and William Soutar (1898 - 1943) have been unveiled. Makars' Court is the paved area in front of Edinburgh's Writers' Museum. Richard Lewis, City of Edinburgh Council's culture convener, said: "Makars' Court is a highlight of the Old Town tourist trail and the addition of these two new inscriptions celebrates these poets' skills in their craft. "Scotland, and not least its City of Literature capital, has produced an extraordinary number of accomplished writers and Makars' Court is an excellent place to pay tribute to them and celebrate their work. "Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, these flagstones for George Campbell Hay and William Soutar continue the city's long-held appreciation of great Scottish writing." Campbell Hay and Soutar wre both members of the Scottish Literary Renaissance and are acknowledged for their influence and lasting legacy in Scottish literature. The commemorations have been created with the support of the Makars' Court Committee of the Scottish Saltire Society and sponsors Anne Artymiuk and the Friends of the William Soutar Society. They had been accused of taking part in the killings and torture of anti-government protesters in 2011, under then-leader Col Muammar Gaddafi. The bodies of the 12 men were found in various parts of Tripoli last Friday, a day after their release. All had been beaten and shot in the chest and head, their families say. On Monday Martin Kobler, Special Representative of the UN Support Mission in Libya said he was "utterly shocked" by this "vile crime". He called for the killings to "be thoroughly and independently investigated". "I urge the relevant Libyan authorities to establish a joint national - international investigation and I will follow developments closely," Mr Kobler added. BBC North Africa correspondent Rana Jawad says that those killed had been granted conditional release. The exact circumstances of the killings are unclear. Officials say the men left al-Baraka prison with their families on Thursday but this could not be independently verified. Most prisons in Libya are controlled by a combined force of militia groups and the judicial police. Libya still has rival regional administrations and armed forces in the east and west of the country, with each battling extremist militants in their territories. The internationally-backed unity government in Tripoli has condemned the killings. It is also carrying out a big offensive against so-called Islamic State in the port city of Sirte. In a statement, the rival government based in eastern Libya accused the prison authorities of carrying out the executions and dumping their bodies. They described them as "outlawed groups that control the jail". There are hundreds on inmates in al-Baraka, many of whom are accused of being Gaddafi loyalists imprisoned after he was overthrown in 2011. Last year inmates complained that prison guards regularly beat them and administered electric shocks, Human Rights Watch reported. Thousands of people including children are arbitrarily detained in Libya, the UN says. The escape had happened four years before the trial, in September 1983. A memo on the file, dated June 1987, reveals the fate of the 19 escapees in what was described as "the biggest escape in British or Irish prison history". Of these, three were recorded as dead: Kieran Fleming (a life prisoner) who had drowned while escaping from an engagement with the security forces on the Fermanagh border in 1984; Seamus McElwaine, a Monaghan IRA man, killed in a gun battle with the SAS at Roslea, County Fermanagh in 1984; and Pat McKearney, shot dead by the SAS at Loughgall in May 1987. Ten men remained at large while two escapees; Gerry Kelly (now a Sinn Féin MLA), sentenced to life imprisonment for causing explosions, and Brendan 'Bik' McFarlane (the IRA commander in the Maze during the 1981 Hunger Strike) had been arrested and subsequently extradited from Holland to complete their sentences. As the trial of the escapees was scheduled to take place in Crumlin Road courthouse in Belfast in January 1987, a meeting was held in Dundonald House earlier that month to discuss security precautions for the trial. It was chaired by the Director of Prison Security, John (now Sir John) Semple and attended by the governor of the Maze prison and RUC personnel. Mr Semple referred to an RUC intelligence report indicating that the Provisional IRA believed there were two possible escape options from Crumlin Road prison. He also considered that the nearby courthouse was vulnerable from an escape point of view. In reply, Insp Sexton of RUC court security confirmed that police officers would be located in the public gallery of the courtroom while the RUC would search members of the public entering the court. Mr Ritchie of the Northern Ireland Court Service asked whether the prisoners would be handcuffed in the courtroom and both the RUC and prison authorities agreed that this was necessary. The meeting debated the mode of transport for the prisoners and the practicalities of transport by road or air. Major Radford of HQNI (the headquarters of the Army in Northern Ireland), having been assured that if a helicopter was used the prisoners would be handcuffed, agreed to consult the RUC on the matter. Mr Baxter, the governor-designate of the Maze prison, stated that, on their arrival at Belfast jail, the prisoners would be fully searched while "top risk prisoners" would be housed in a separate wing. Officials expressed concern that in recent weeks, the prison guard force at Belfast had ceased patrols of the area around the prison, something that was "very disconcerting [in view of] RUC intelligence reports". It was agreed that the RUC and military would liaise on this aspect. Other difficulties surrounding the trial began to emerge. A minute from R D Kendrick, Director of Prison Operations, on 24 February, 1987 revealed that "some of the prison officers due to give evidence in the escape trial themselves have criminal records". Mr Kendrick reported that checks were being made "to ensure the accuracy of this rather disturbing information". A final note in the file reveals that the 16 defendants were transferred by helicopter to Belfast prison on 21 April 1987. "They have been dispersed throughout A and C Wings with the seven top-risk prisoners (including Mr McFarlane and Mr Kelly) being housed on the A3 landing," it said. In addition, Mr Kendrick said, prior to their court appearance each day, all of the escapees would be strip-searched. The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Lowry refused to allow the prisoners to be handcuffed in the court. Thousands attended the official opening by the Queen Mother, an occasion marked by a first day cover and even a 7" single by local teenagers Peter and Alison. "The realisation of an idea that first caught the imagination of Dundonians more than 40 years ago", a contemporary newsreel commentator noted, was now a "splendid reality." But while the bridge ushered in a new era of convenience for motorists, it sounded the death knell for the much-loved "Fifies" - the Tay Ferries that transported vehicles and generations of passengers between Dundee and Newport-on-Tay. The last Fifie sailed just hours after the new bridge opened and was overseen by relief skipper John Lewis Squibb. His daughter Margaret Wright said: "That was quite a sad day, especially for my dad. "The ferry was doing the last crossing to Dundee and my dad was able to throw the last rope onto the boat before it took off. "It was a lovely evening and the whole family was there which made it very special. "I think he was very emotional, but progress, it was what was needed. "The ferries could not take the quantity of traffic that was coming in. "We needed the bridge." Although work on the £4.8m bridge began in March 1963, there had been an appetite for such a crossing for decades. Eventually, in 1958, test bores were taken and a traffic census was carried out, before William A Fairhurst's design was given the go-ahead two years later. The construction involved a low temporary bridge which allowed the digging of coffer dams for the road bridge's pillars. Conditions could be harsh and five men died in the bridge's construction, with three men lost when part of the temporary bridge collapsed in November 1965. Bert Smith was due to work that evening but swapped his shift with John McQueen, one of the men who died. He said: "I didn't want to work that night because my wife wasn't well, so I got a change with John McQueen. "So I went home that night and it was not long after that, that the incident happened. "He was killed when it should have been me. It still brings the hair up on the back of my neck yet, it really does. "I think about them every November." Mr Smith worked on the bridge for the whole of its three-and-a-half year construction. He said: "It was a hard job, just because of the nature of the job. You had to be fit and able to work. "It's a nice strong bridge. "There's no reason for it not being there in 100 years time, because I remember all the piles that went into the foundation and the amount of concrete and steelwork that was involved." In July 1966, the final girder was put in place and the Tay Road Bridge was complete. Spanning 1.4 miles, the bridge rose from a height of 32 feet above sea level at Dundee to 125ft at Newport-on-Tay. A viewing platform sat atop the toll booths, a feature of the bridge until tolls were abolished in 2008. The five men who perished in the bridge's construction, along with William Logan, managing director of the main building contractor, who died in a plane crash in January 1966, are commemorated in memorial plaques beside the bridge. Current bridge manager Alan Hutchison said it had become a "major piece of Scottish heritage transport infrastructure". "It's been incredibly important when you consider the links it's created," he said. Currently carrying 26,000 vehicles a day, anticipated traffic on the bridge in 1966 was less than a fifth of that figure. Mr Hutchison said the crossing has weathered the rigours of half a century of traffic "incredibly well". He said: "We now get 44-tonne European lorries and a few years ago the bridge was strengthened to accommodate the additional loading from these. "So, with regular maintenance and inspections, it will continue to cope very well indeed." Supervisor Jim McDonald, who has worked on the bridge for 34 years, oversees these inspections. He recalled one of the bridge's more unusual travellers, a runaway bull called Bertie which escaped from a nearby abattoir in July, 2000. "They nicknamed it Houdini because it escaped over a six-foot wall," he said. "The abattoir was about half a mile from the bridge and it came onto the ramp and went on the northbound approach before they darted it." The bull was captured after making it to Fife and following a plea for mercy by TV comedy writer Carla Lane, it was transferred to her animal sanctuary in West Sussex. Mr McDonald also remembers the legendary Tay Road Bridge Jif lemon tree, where plastic lemons were placed on a tree beside the toll booths by workers for almost three decades. He said: "It was just for fun to keep people's spirits up and all the children liked it. "Every year we'd put them out in April and then in October or November, you'd bring them in again. "Some people thought it was a real lemon tree and would take photos of it." The trees and the tolls are no more - but the bridge is still going strong fifty years on. A weekend of celebrations will take place in Dundee and Fife to mark the anniversary. A mural designed by Fraser Gray and Martin McGuinness, which includes a portrait of William Fairhurst is being painted underneath the Dundee bridge approach road. Alan Hutchison said: "The Tay Road Bridge is an incredibly well-maintained bridge. "When bridges are designed they typically have what engineers call the design life of 120 years. "We're only 50 years into that, but there's no reason why it won't go on forever." Media playback is not supported on this device Adlington became Britain's first female to win Olympic gold in the pool in 48 years, with 400m and 800m freestyle victories at the 2008 Beijing Games. The 23-year-old, who won the 800m world title in 2011 and two Commonwealth Games gold medals in 2010, picked up two bronze medals at London 2012. "I love swimming but as a competitive element and elite athlete I won't compete any more," she said. The Mansfield-born swimmer, who also won 400m world championship silver (2011) and bronze (2009) to add to a European gold (2010), says she wants to leave the sport at the top. "I have achieved everything I wanted to," she said. "Some people want to milk it all they can. I've always said I wanted to finish on a high, despite my love of the sport." British Olympic Association (BOA) chairman Lord Coe paid tribute to the achievements of the former Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth champion. "Becky Adlington's unforgettable success in Beijing inspired a generation to get in the pool and swim," he said. "Her down-to-earth personality and remarkable career achievements have made her a national treasure." BOA chief Executive Andy Hunt added: "Through her remarkable talent and tireless work ethic, Becky Adlington has set a standard of excellence that future generations of Team GB athletes will aspire to reach. "She represents the very best of what British sport, and the Olympic movement, are all about." Adlington said in September that she would not compete at the Rio Olympics in 2016, feeling that as a 27-year-old she would be too old to be competitive. In October, she undertook a 280-mile bike ride in Zambia with Olympic bronze medallist Jo Jackson, former Commonwealth champion Ross Davenport and ex-swimmer Mel Marshall to raise £50,000 for Sport in Action, a non-governmental organisation that looks to inspire change in impoverished communities through sport. She says that her work outside the pool has taken on a greater significance, and that she no longer has the same motivation to compete at elite level. "I had to look at things, take a break and see how I felt when I came back. It didn't feel the same getting back into training and it felt like time," she said. "I hate the words 'retired' so I don't want to say it because I would never retire from swimming all together, but as an elite athlete I wont be competing any more and I won't be at the World Championships this year." In retirement, Adlington will head up the "Rebecca Adlington Swim Stars" programme to encourage youngsters to take up swimming. "I want to launch my own learn to swim programme and I've always said that if I've inspired one kid to get in the pool then it would make my year and hopefully I can continue to do that," she said. "As unpretentious as beans on toast, but with a cordon bleu talent, the retiring Becky Adlington has been a huge asset to British Swimming in her short career. Her expressed desire now is to carry on working in the sport, with the goal of getting every child in Britain into a pool and able to swim 25m by the time they leave primary education. Ambitious, but she has the clout and charisma to help make it happen." "I want to create a deeper legacy. I want all children when they leave school to be able to swim 25m - that's my ambition in life." According to research from the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) released last May, a third of children - 200,000 youngsters - in England cannot swim The research suggested many had never had a school swimming lesson, despite its being part of the national curriculum for seven-to-11-year-olds to be taught to swim 25m unaided. In December, Adlington criticised British Swimming's review into the team's under-performance at the London Games, telling the Times (subscription) she felt "insulted, disheartened and saddened by the way they have ignored us, the swimmers." She believes that the appointment of her former coach Bill Furniss as the new head coach at British Swimming will improve the relationship between athletes and the governing body, and hopes to work with Furniss mentoring future elite swimmers. "He knows enough about the sport and has been on so many teams that he's seen it all first-hand, so if there was anyone suitable for the role it is him," she said. "Hopefully I'll still have a relationship with him where I can pass on my perspective as a swimmer. "I'd love to stay involved in all sorts of ways. Hopefully I can help the younger guys coming up because I have been through it all." It will bring to more than 40 the total number of this new breed of schools, which mix academic studies with work-based training. The schools are for pupils aged 14 and over and the idea is for local employers to be involved. The latest involve Barclays, The National Trust, RSPCA and The National Space Centre among others. About 100 national and local employers are involved. Supporters say the schools will help young people learn useful work skills and find jobs, but critics say they could limit their options by forcing them down a particular path too soon. The 13 new studio schools join 15 that are already preparing to open and 16 currently open. About 14,000 students will go to them in total. All will offer GCSEs in English, maths and science, the government says, as well as A-levels and vocational qualifications, but will offer a "more practical way of learning". Schools Minister Lord Nash said: "More employers are getting involved in studio schools, demonstrating their commitment to preparing young people - who will be their future employees - for the world of work. "It is crucial for young people to have the skills and experience vital to employers, both for their own prosperity and to help us compete in the global race." Chairman of the Studio Schools Trust Geoff Mulgan said the announcement was "very good news" for young people and employers. "Young people learn better when they're tackling real life problems, and they learn better when there's a clear line of sight linking what they do in school to future jobs and careers," he said. The schools will offer GCSEs in English, maths and science, the government says, as well as A-levels and vocational qualifications, but will offer a "more practical way of learning". They are similar to University Technical Colleges (UTCs), which are also for young people aged from 14, and part of the government's strategy to improve vocational training. UTCs will offer more advanced technical training, the government says. But teaching unions have attacked them, saying they are adding unnecessary diversity to the education system and forcing children to make important life-decisions at too young an age. One of the new schools, Dorset Studio School in Dorchester, will focus on environmental and land-based studies and is backed by groups including the National Trust, RSPCA and the Royal Veterinary College. Another, Sir Frank Whittle Studio College in Leicestershire, will specialise in engineering, retail and logistics and hospitality and leisure. A third, Space Studio Banbury in Oxfordshire, will focus on space, science and maths, with the involvement of The National Space Centre, UK Space Agency and European Space Agency. The other studio schools planned are: •Apollo Studio Academy in Durham, specialising in Stem (science and maths) subjects, health, care and early years and with the involvement of the NHS Northumbria Healthcare Foundation Trust. •De Salis Studio College in Hillingdon, which will specialise in business and finance and be supported by Accenture, PWC, and HMRC, among others. •Future Tech Studio in Warrington, specialising in ICT, with involvement of National Nuclear Laboratories, Barclays Global Technology Centre, and Talk Talk. •Island Studio School on the Isle of Wight, jointly proposed by Southampton City College and the Isle of Wight Council, specialising in marine manufacturing. •Knutsford Academy: The Studio in Cheshire East, specialising in digital technologies and "employability skills"; links with Barclays, Deloitte and Manchester Airport. •Manchester Creative Studio, led by the founder of the Collective Spirit Free School in Oldham which is due to open in September this year. It will specialise in the creative industries, particularly in design, interactive media and digital technology. •Studio West in Newcastle, proposed by Kenton Academy and with links to various local employers. •The Bath Studio School, proposed by a group of five schools; specialising in business, IT and administration. •The Digital Studio College in Derbyshire, proposed by Derby College and backed by local employers including Age UK. •Vision Studio School in Nottinghamshire, proposed by West Nottinghamshire College; specialising in health, care, engineering and transport and backed by employers including Sherwood Forest NHS Trust and Ilkeston football club. Froome was third in a thrilling mountain stage during which Fabio Aru slipped from second to fourth overall. Marcel Kittel, who led the green jersey contest, was forced to retire from the race after crashing early in the stage. There are four stages remaining, with a potentially crucial summit finish in Izoard on Thursday. Froome had lost time on the drag up to the mountain-top finish in Peyragudes on stage 12, and had the yellow jersey taken off him by Aru. But the Team Sky leader, aiming for his fourth Tour victory and third in succession, reclaimed it on an uphill sprint to Rodez on stage 14. Should any of his rivals want to ride into Paris on Sunday in the yellow jersey, they need to attack on the punishing slopes up to Izoard and hope Froome cracks, because he is expected to take time off them during Saturday's time trial in Marseille. In-form Colombian Rigoberto Uran and French favourite Romain Bardet are second and third in the standings - both 27 seconds behind the leader. Just 29 seconds separated the top four in the general classification as the riders rolled out of La Mure for the 183km stage that comprised two hors categorie climbs up Croix de Fer and the Galibier, plus the category one Telegraphe. It was a potentially dangerous day for Froome, but after numerous breakaways and attacks it was the 32-year-old who led a group of five riders in pursuit of Roglic. The Slovenian - a former junior world ski jumping champion - had launched off the front of the remnants of a breakaway and powered over the Galibier, at 2,642m the highest point of this year's race and the final climb of the stage. He then showed great skill and nerve during the long downhill drag to Serre-Chevalier to maintain his 90-second lead. Behind him, the group led by Froome - which included fellow GC contenders Bardet and Uran - distanced some of their rivals. The isolated Aru was the biggest casualty, but Ireland's Dan Martin and Britain's Simon Yates also lost time, although the latter remains in the white jersey as the race's best young rider. There was drama early in Wednesday's stage when German sprinter Kittel, the winner of five stages this year, abandoned after struggling to the top of the Croix de Fer. Kittel, who has won 14 Tour stages overall, had struggled on Tuesday as Sunweb's Michael Matthews closed the gap in the green jersey competition. When Matthews won the intermediate sprint early in Wednesday's stage, a lead that at one time had been in triple figures was now down to just nine points. By that stage Kittel was already well off the pace again, a crash after 20km leaving him cut and bruised. But it was nonetheless something of a surprise when he abandoned, in the process handing Australian Matthews a virtually unassailable advantage over German Andre Greipel. British sprinter Dan McLay, who was last in the overall classification, later joined the list of abandonments, while Frenchman Thibaut Pinot also failed to finish. Greg LeMond - a three-time winner of the Tour - predicted on Eurosport before Wednesday's stage that it would be Thursday's climb up to Izoard, and not the slog over the Galibier, that could have a serious impact on the battle for the yellow jersey. "It will come down to Izoard, it will be the first big battle for climbers to win the Tour," said the American. Thursday's stage does indeed have a steep summit finish at the top of the Izoard - 14.1km at an average gradient of 7.3% - and could make for thrilling viewing. Before the men's stage, though, there is a women's race - La Course by Le Tour, that runs 67.5km from Briancon to Izoard. Stage 17 result: 1. Primoz Roglic (Slo/LottoNL-Jumbo) 5hrs 7mins 41secs 2.

It also includes Alex Salmond as well as Stephen Gethins, Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh and Hannah Bardell. The party has also reshuffled its front bench team to shadow new departments created by the prime minister. The changes include Mr Gethins becoming the party's Brexit spokesman in parliament after David Davis was appointed to head a new department for leaving the EU in Whitehall. Ms Ahmed-Sheikh will be the party's International Trade spokeswoman, shadowing Dr Liam Fox who is also heading a new department created after the Leave vote. It follows SNP MSP Michael Russell, the former Scottish education minister, being confirmed as Minister for UK Negotiations on Scotland's Place in Europe. Private investment firm Ennismore said improvements and upgrades were being made throughout the Perthshire hotel. The project includes a new bar in the Dormy Clubhouse and refurbishment of the hotel's main bar. Ennismore plans to create public spaces that "reflect Gleneagles' distinctly Scottish identity, but with a contemporary feel". Designers involved in the initiative include David Collins Studio, Timorous Beasties, Macaulay Sinclair and Goddard Littlefair. Work is expected to be completed by early summer. The hotel and golf resort was bought by Ennismore last July in a deal thought to have been worth about £150m. Ennismore chief executive Sharan Pasricha said: "We're approaching the refurbishment with bold and creative decisions while respecting the hotel's history and building on its remarkable heritage. "It's an organic progression - evolution, not revolution - and will ensure the iconic Gleneagles brand remains synonymous with luxury, and the hotel maintains its position among the leading hotels of the world." He added: "When Gleneagles first opened its doors in 1924, it was dubbed as the 'Palace in the Glens' and our aim is to surpass these glory days. "We look forward to introducing our guests to the new spaces and continuing to provide them with a five-star experience in a setting that is effortlessly stylish and luxurious." The prime minister - who is known for her love of fashion, especially eye-catching shoes - posed for the renowned portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz. "The long-planned shoot for US Vogue will come out in April," a No 10 spokesman said. The magazine's editor, British-born Anna Wintour, was made a dame in the New Year Honours. Mrs May chose a lifetime's subscription to Vogue magazine as her luxury item when she appeared on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs programme. Her choice of expensive, chocolate-coloured leather trousers - which retail for £995 - for a previous magazine spread angered former education secretary Nicky Morgan, who said she had never spent that much on anything except her wedding dress. According to the Press Association, Downing Street sources denied reports the Vogue feature was connected to a planned visit to the US for the PM's first meeting with Donald Trump. US photographer Annie Leibovitz has previously shot Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton for the publication. Margaret Thatcher, the UK's only other female leader, was photographed four times for British Vogue. Baroness Thatcher, who died in 2013, was known for her smart, unfussy style including power suits, pussy-bow blouses and an ever-present handbag. 14 October 2013 Last updated at 15:36 BST Cyclone Phailin struck the state of Orissa in the east of the country on Saturday. Eighteen people were killed and nearly one million forced to leave their homes. Winds of up to 125 miles an hour flattened many coastal villages, uprooted trees and blocked roads. Now a major clean up operation has begun, with many ordinary Indian people doing their bit to repair the damage. Watch BBC correspondent Andrew North's report from India. The FTSE 100 index was down 47.27 points, or 0.68%, at 6,893.32. Shares in Easyjet dropped 2.5% and British Airways owner IAG fell 2.1%. The falls came as the price of oil hit five-week highs, with Brent crude hitting $48.74 a barrel. Mining shares enjoyed a better day, helped by well-received results from Antofagasta. Antofagasta shares rose 8.6% after it reported a rise in half-year core profits, and BHP Billiton climbed 0.7% despite it reporting a record annual loss of $6.4bn. On the currency markets, the pound was given a slight boost after the UK inflation rate rose to 0.6% in July, which was slightly higher than expected. Sterling rose 1.13% against the dollar to $1.3025, and was 0.18% up against the euro at €1.1545. Tiverton High School pupil Olly Croker was airlifted to a Bristol hospital after the incident on Saturday but died on Monday night. A Bradninch club spokesman described it as a "freak accident". Olly's mother Pippa called him "our gorgeous boy" and said his organs had now "given life" to five children. The schoolboy was watching his brother in the fixture between Bradninch and Bampton when it is believed there was a collision and fencing gave way. A piece of material then lodged in the youngster's head but the club spokesman said it was "unclear how the accident occurred". Mrs Croker wrote on Facebook: "We would very much like you all to feel so proud of Oliver this evening, through organ donation he has given life to to 5 other children. "He will live on in them. What very lucky boys and girls they are!!! Love you our beautiful gorgeous boy!!" Olly was a regular supporter at Bampton games, said the club. The spokesman said everyone was "absolutely shocked and devastated". The club tweeted: "Everyone at Bradninch Town FC would like to give our sincere condolences to the family of little Oliver who has tragically passed away. "No-one deserves to be taken so young and he will be dearly missed. Gone but never forgotten. Rest in peace." Head teacher Andrew Lovett expressed his "great sadness" at the youngster's death. He was "the life and soul of the party, a larger-than-life character, brimming with confidence, with an eagerness and enthusiasm for taking part in all aspects of school life". Mr Lovett added: "His youthful vibrancy and curiosity about life shaped his whole character. "He was a very knowledgeable and sparky lad with his finger on the pulse of what was going on at school, in the local community and beyond. "He was multi-talented and we had high hopes for his future. Olly was a keen sportsman and represented THS at rugby and even played up an age group. "Our thoughts and wishes are with Olly's parents and brothers." The school has a team of support staff and counsellors on hand to help students at this "difficult time". Roger Spray, chairman of the Devon and Exeter Football League, called the youngster's death an "absolute tragedy" and the league had sent its condolences to the family and Bampton Football Club. Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed the death on Monday night. "Our sympathy and thoughts are with the family," said the force. A local authority inquiry is under way to discover the exact circumstances of the accident. Kirsty Bond wrote on Facebook: "He always had a smile on his face, always polite, and a pleasure to know."

California and New York issued a joint statement saying they would continue the fight against climate change. Environmental groups have hired a host of lawyers to challenge Mr Trump's move that boosts fossil fuel production. Mr Trump said he wanted to end "job-killing regulations". His supporters believe that ending the climate change rules brought in by Barack Obama will create thousands of jobs in the gas, coal and oil industries. The governors of New York and California summed up opponents' views by saying Mr Trump's stance was "profoundly misguided and shockingly ignores basic science". In a joint statement, Governors Jerry Brown of California and Andrew Cuomo of New York, both Democrats, said: "With or without Washington, we will work with our partners throughout the world to aggressively fight climate change and protect our future." The two states have set even stricter targets on reducing greenhouse gas emissions than required by Mr Obama's rules and have far-reaching plans for converting to renewable energy sources for producing electricity. Governor Brown said: "Erasing climate change may take place in Donald Trump's mind, but nowhere else." A host of legal issues could be in the pipeline. California has a special waiver allowing it to enforce tougher measures on vehicle emissions. Mr Trump could rescind that - but this would lead to a fierce challenge. He could also ask Congress to revoke the Clean Air Act. Back in 2007, the US Supreme Court ruled that carbon dioxide gas was a pollutant under the Act. Some experts believe that the ultimate goal of Mr Trump's executive order is to overturn that ruling. Already tied up in the courts is Mr Obama's Clean Power Plan (CPP), which seeks to cut fossil fuels from electricity production. The BBC's environment correspondent, Matt McGrath, says Mr Trump will let the CPP fester there while coming up with a much weaker replacement. David Goldston, of the Natural Resources Defence Council, said activists were gearing up for legal challenges. He said: "The president doesn't get to simply rewrite safeguards; they have to... prove the changes are in line with the law and science. I think that's going to be a high hurdle for them." Any legal challenges would dovetail with action to win over public opinion. Jeremy Symons, of the Environmental Defence Fund, told Associated Press: "In terms of the big picture, our strategy is simple: shine a spotlight on what is going on and mobilise the public against these rollbacks." But Mr Trump's move does have supporters. US Chamber of Commerce president Thomas Donohue said: "These executive actions are a welcome departure from the previous administration's strategy of making energy more expensive through costly, job-killing regulations that choked our economy." Mr Trump's Energy Independence Executive Order suspends more than half a dozen measures enacted by his predecessor. Although during his election campaign he also vowed to pull the US out of the Paris climate deal agreed in December 2015, he has not spelled out the US intentions. Whatever the US chooses, the EU, India and China say they will stick to their pledges made in Paris. On Wednesday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said: "No matter how other countries' policies change, as a responsible large developing country, China's resolve, aims and policy moves in dealing with climate change will not." Mourinho had claimed officials were "afraid" to award his team penalties after Robert Madley denied Chelsea a spot-kick in a 3-1 loss to Southampton. The FA charged that his comments "imply bias on the part of a match official". Mourinho's ban will only be enforced if he repeats the offence within a year. The home defeat by Southampton was Chelsea's fourth loss in the defending champions' opening eight Premier League games of the season and left them 10 points behind leaders Manchester City and four points above the relegation zone. Speaking after the game, Mourinho had said the Blues were "always punished" by officials because "there is always a question mark" from the media. "If the Football Association wants to punish me they can. They don't punish other managers," he added. A Chelsea spokesperson told BBC Sport the club would wait to read the FA's full reasoning before making any comment on the verdict. Mourinho was charged hours after the Blues said the Portuguese retained their "full support" following back-to-back defeats. His side return to Premier League action at home to Aston Villa - four points and two places below them - on Saturday. Parts of Upper Street, Charlton Place, Camden Passage and Colebrooke Row near the Angel Islington were all closed. The fire brigade said the water was 2m (6.5ft) deep in basement properties on Charlton Place. Thames Water has apologised and said it would take several days to fix the pipe. London Fire Brigade said it had pumped water into a nearby canal. Firefighters from Islington, Dowgate, Whitechapel, Bethnal Green, Shoreditch, Battersea and Edmonton stations are at the scene, and the Metropolitan Police's marine unit was also helping. The Steam Passage Tavern opened its doors to residents whose homes had been flooded. Homeowner Trevor Turner said: "I woke up at 05:30 with essentially a river flowing down Charlton Place. "We're just refurbishing our kitchen. The last bits of the tiling were due to happen this morning and some damp proofing as well." Mary, another resident, said: "I woke up at 05:45 as I heard something. "I thought it was torrential rain so I put my head out the window and saw it was a torrential flood instead and then several policemen who were knocking on doors on the other side and said to evacuate." Motorists were advised to avoid the usually busy area, with the southbound side of Upper Street closed. A Thames Water spokesperson said the company was "supporting those whose properties were flooded" with help finding alternative accommodation and making insurance claims. The company said repairs to the pipe would "continue throughout this week" with engineers working "24 hours a day to get the job done". "It was our pipe that burst and it's our responsibility to put things right," the spokesperson said. Richard Watts, leader of Islington Council, said the flood had "caused considerable damage and distress". George North's second-minute try had given Saints the perfect start, but Wasps weathered an early onslaught. Jimmy Gopperth put them ahead from a superb breakaway try fashioned by the quick-thinking of Danny Cipriani. Northampton fought back to trail 13-12 through Tom Kessell's try before a decisive late score by Josh Bassett. Victory moved Wasps three points clear at the top of the table after champions Saracens lost 17-10 at Harlequins. But the opening stages belonged to the hosts as North crossed in the corner from Ben Foden's offload within 90 seconds to finish a crisp attack from a line-out. Dai Young's Wasps side withstood further pressure before taking the lead with a counter-attacking score. Cipriani, making his 100th appearance for Wasps soon after his return to the club after spells at Melbourne Rebels and Sale Sharks, countered from inside his own 22 when he was fed by Joe Simpson from a retreating scrum. The fly-half regained his precise grubber kick and found support from Guy Thompson, and the flanker's pass freed Gopperth to run under the posts from halfway, eluding North on the way. Gopperth's boot then stretched the lead to 13-5 approaching the hour mark, and Northampton were their own worst enemies as they tried to fight back, with a series of handling errors killing their momentum every time they looked threatening. REACTION: Wasps director of rugby Dai Young speaks to BBC Coventry and Warwickshire However, they kept coming and Wasps had to endure a nervy last five minutes after Nathan Hughes was sin-binned for dragging down a Northampton maul. Kessell pounced immediately to score and Stephen Myler's conversion brought the game to within a point. But Saints were let down by their handling yet again and when Wasps pounced on a loose ball visiting scrum-half Dan Robson kicked ahead and winger Bassett out-paced Harry Mallinder to score. Ken Pisi was shown a yellow card for a tripping the scrum-half as he chased his kick, but with both men down to 14 men Myler's late penalty ensured Northampton at least took a losing bonus point. Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder: "We just have to be a bit more accurate. We had lots of chances to win that game but sometimes that's life. "You've got to dust yourself down and get back into it which we'll do and we'll come out fighting against Exeter." Wasps director of rugby Dai Young: "I said to the players, we rode our luck today without a shadow of a doubt. "We won that game today on sheer heart and togetherness. We found a way to win. "I'm really pleased because we were under pressure for big parts of that game today. I thought we showed a real attitude and a fight." Northampton: Foden; K Pisi, G Pisi, Mallinder, North; Myler, Groom; Waller, Haywood, Brookes, Lawes, Dickinson, Wood (capt), Gibson, Picamoles. Replacements: Clare, Ma'afu, Hill, Paterson, Harrison, Kessell, Hutchinson, Tuala.

Health officials believe the move is needed as people are consuming 200 to 300 calories too many each day. It could see the size of products reduced or ingredients changed in food and drinks bought in supermarkets, takeaways and restaurants. The targets are expected to be set by Public Health England within a year. They will be voluntary, although officials at the government advisory body said if the industry did not respond they were prepared to legislate. The calorie-reduction programme comes after the success of the decade-long drive to reduce salt content in food. It will be modelled on the sugar-reduction programme that was included in last year's child obesity strategy and which committed the industry to reducing the amount of sugar in certain foods by 20% by 2020. PHE chief nutritionist Dr Alison Tedstone said good progress was being made on the sugar target and it was now time to consider tackling calories. She pointed out that only a quarter of calories come from sugary foods so if successful it could have a major impact. "We have a serious problem - one in three leave primary school either obese or overweight," she said. "If we want to tackle this we have to look at calories. There are a number of ways it can be done - we can reduce the size of the products or change the ingredients." Source: NHS Choices She also defended the child obesity strategy, which was announced last August, amid criticism from campaigners that it had failed to have the impact it should have. Dr Tedstone said she was "delighted" with it as it was the first time there had been a cross-government commitment to tackling the issue. The plan also included the levy on sugary drinks, which is due to come into force in April 2018. Caroline Cerny, of the Obesity Health Alliance, said it looked forward to seeing "ambitious" targets being set to cut calories. But she said the food industry was continuing to "get away with bombarding children with adverts that we know encourage unhealthy food choices". "Failing to tackle this area is significantly undermining the impact of the child obesity plan. After one year, it is scraping along with a C grade, rather than topping the class with an A star," she added. A spokeswoman for the Food and Drink Federation said it welcomed "broadening" the focus away from only sugar. "Singling out the role of individual ingredients and food groups does not help consumers to make good choices about their diet, lifestyle or general health." She said companies were playing their part by making healthier options available and providing nutritional information on packs. She added: "Our industry has a proud track record of reformulation to remove salt, fat and sugar from food and drinks. This work will continue as we rise to the challenge of PHE's sugar reduction targets and engage with this new focus on calories." In the $2.15bn (£1.3bn) deal, Coca-Cola will transfer its worldwide energy business to Monster. In exchange, Monster will transfer its non-energy business, which includes Peace Tea and Hansen's Natural Sodas, to Coca-Cola. The deal gives Monster access to Coca-Cola's global distribution system. For Coca-Cola, the partnership will give it the opportunity to increase its market share in the fast-growing energy drinks market. In a statement, Muhtar Kent, chairman at Coca-Cola said: "The Coca-Cola Company continues to identify innovative approaches to partnerships that enable us to stay at the forefront of consumer trends in the beverage industry." Mr Kent added that "investment in Monster is a capital efficient way to bolster our participation in the fast-growing and attractive global energy drinks category". Also in the same statement, Monster chairman Rodney C. Sacks said the deal gives the company "enhanced access to the Coca-Cola Company's distribution system, the most powerful and extensive system in the world. At the same time, we become The Coca-Cola Company's exclusive energy play". The deal is subject to regulatory approvals, and both companies hope the transaction will close by early next year. Monster shares surged 22% in after-hours trading on the news, while Coca-Cola shares rose 1.2%. Coca-Cola is the world's largest beverage company, with more than 500 brands to its name, including Diet Coke, Fanta and Minute Maid. The deal comes as consumers in developed economies and more mature markets are turning health-conscious. One effect of that is they are staying away from fizzy drinks and soda which have high sugar content and are widely known to cause weight gain and in some cases, lead to obesity. Coca-Cola has been grappling with falling sales from products that used to be its core revenue driver. Jonathan Godson, 49, from St Ouen in Jersey, admitted 24 counts of inciting, taking and making the images. Godson, originally from Canada, was sentenced on Monday at Jersey's Royal Court. The court heard that he possessed more than 68,000 indecent images and hundreds of hours of video. Det Insp Paul Kennea, of the States of Jersey Police, said: "Jonathan Godson was a prolific supplier of indecent images of children and it is likely this behaviour would have continued if he was not caught. "He not only downloaded indecent images of children, but actively shared them with others, thus encouraging further offending, and further adding to the suffering of victims. "He possessed thousands of images of children and hours of video and is clearly a danger to young people." Robinson took temporary charge at Fir Park, alongside McGhee's assistant James McFadden, and under-20s boss Stephen Craigan, following the sacking of Mark McGhee on 28 February. The club say they received more than 50 applications for the position. And the Steelmen aim to make an appointment as soon as possible. Having worked under former manager Ian Baraclough, then McGhee, on the Fir Park coaching staff, 42-year-old Robinson returned to Well last month after being sacked as Oldham Athletic boss in January. In his first game at the helm, Robinson oversaw a 2-1 win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, ending a run of four straight Scottish Premiership defeats. He takes the team on Saturday to Pittodrie, where Motherwell were thrashed 7-2 by Aberdeen last month. Veteran striker Scott McDonald believes most of the Fir Park squad would be pleased if the Northern Irishman secured the top job on a permanent basis. "We know what Robbo is all about - the majority of us do anyway," he said. "It has always been a joy to work under him and work with him. "As players, all we are concerning ourselves about is to do our best and do our job and, if we do that, we give Steve every possible chance of maybe taking the reins, which I think most boys would be more than happy with." McDonald said Robinson had some wise words after McGhee's departure. "He said: 'You are fortunate as players, you get another opportunity here. Go and take it with two hands and show me, or show whoever else is going to come in, that you are more than capable to stand up and do the job for this football club'." The Spaniard has made 48 appearances since signing from Espanyol for £2.5m in June 2013. Swansea go into Tuesday's Premier League game at West Bromwich Albion four points above relegation after recent wins over Watford and Everton. "This is my home. I am happy here and my family is too," said Amat, 23. "It's great news and I'm so happy to sign a new extension. "I've been here for two and a half years and I'm very happy to be here for another three years." The strap was recovered a few metres away from the south-east London bus stop where the 18 year old was attacked by six white men in August 1993. Detectives discounted the strap for years because it was mistakenly logged as being found 80 metres away. The DNA of an unknown woman has been found on the bag strap, the Met said. Detectives believe the DNA is that of the main user of the bag and are attempting to trace her, although they are not linking the woman with the murder directly. Mr Lawrence was stabbed to death in an unprovoked racist assault on 22 April 1993 as he waited at a bus stop in Eltham, south-east London with a friend. In January 2012, Gary Dobson and David Norris were found guilty of being involved in the attack and jailed for life but detectives have always maintained others were involved. They now want to find who owned the bag from which the strap came and discover why it was at the murder scene. Chris Le Pere, the senior investigating detective, said: "She [the bag owner] is a witness. There is no evidence to suggest a female was involved in the murder of Stephen Lawrence." One theory being investigated is that the strap was left at the scene by the murderers and it came from an "adapted offensive weapon". A similar strap with a hammer-head attached was found at David Norris's house when he was arrested in 1993 on suspicion of murder. Attempts to link the DNA found on the strap have failed. Female associates, friends and relatives of all the key suspects have been asked to provide DNA but most have refused, the Met said. Victims of bag theft in the area at the time of the murder have also been traced. Could the black leather bag strap be the breakthrough which proves that a suspect was at the scene of Stephen Lawrence's murder? The strap, which only investigators and crime scene examiners appeared to know about, has suddenly assumed enormous significance given that it was far closer to the attack than was previously thought. It could have been ripped off a bag during a mugging or taken from a bag belonging to a friend or relative of one of the suspects. If detectives can find out who it belongs to, they'll be closer to establishing who brought it to the murder scene. Little strands like this, threaded together with other evidence, can solve crimes. But the fact police are appealing for information now, not 23 years ago, puts them at a huge disadvantage - and is another reminder of how tragic it is that the original investigation into Stephen's murder was so badly flawed. The black leather strap is believed to have been left in Dickson Road, by the junction with Well Hall Road. It was initially recorded as having been 80m away from the murder scene but in 2014 officers established it was discarded only a few metres from where Stephen was set upon. Mr Le Pere described the discrepancy as an "honest mistake", adding: "In my judgment there is no misconduct involved in this." The location of the strap was correctly recorded in notes by examiners who recovered exhibits at the scene. But when their statements were written up by colleagues "the punctuation hasn't been read correctly" Mr Le Pere said. Mr Lawrence's own bag was found around six metres (20 feet) from a footway, his blood was 10 metres (32 feet) away and the strap was 15 metres (50 feet) away, according to the revised position. The latest developments come on the eve of what would have been Stephen Lawrence's 42nd birthday. The Met Police has offered a reward of up to £20,000 to identity and prosecute perpetrators of the murder. His father, Neville Lawrence, has also appealed for further information about the murder. Officers have spoken to around 110 people in connection with this line of inquiry, and gathered 50 DNA samples. Police are still trying to trace a man reportedly seen in a distinctive green jacket with a V emblem near Well Hall Road roundabout at about the time Mr Lawrence was attacked. CCTV footage, recently digitally enhanced, showed the man in a nearby off-licence hours before the murder took place. In a sketch by a police artist, based on their accounts, the wearer of the jacket has light reddish hair. However the man in the CCTV pictures is dark-haired. Police believe the man could be a witness. The three towers of the Queensferry Crossing are now at road deck level. Transport Scotland said the project was on time and under budget. The current budget range for the project is £1.4bn to £1.45bn, down from £1.45bn to £1.6bn in 2011 Transport Minister Keith Brown earlier visited the Queensferry Crossing and praised engineers' work. Mr Brown said: "This time last year the view across the Forth looked a lot different. Work on the foundations was finishing last summer and the beginnings of the towers themselves started under the water line. "The progress being made by the men and women building the new bridge is truly impressive. "All three of the towers are now at or past the level of the bridge deck. Initial temporary supports and first bridge deck sections are due to be fitted to the Centre Tower's complex and reinforced 'power joint' in the autumn, while work on all three towers continues until they reach their full 210 metre height next summer. "We can also see the v-shaped support piers for the south approach viaduct rising and being completed as the months go past. As each one is erected, the viaduct is then launched further out from the shoreline across the pier." By the end of the year, assembly equipment will be moved over from the south approach viaduct area to the north to start assembly of the shorter North Approach viaduct steelwork. This is expected to be moved into position later in 2015. Newcastle City Council was considering enlarging the Blue House roundabout near Gosforth, which would involve laying road on two surrounding moors. About 2,000 people attended a protest rally on Sunday against the plans, which they described as "overkill". The council said it would "review alternative proposals" before submitting its final proposal. Newcastle City Councillor Ged Bell said: "People have come together to express their concerns and there's been significant public opposition to our outline designs. "Alternative approaches to making improvements will require a willingness to work together from all parties." The council said the roundabout was the worst in the city for causing injuries and it had a responsibility to make it safer. Peter MacDonald, of community group SPACE for Gosforth, said: "The news that they are proposing to form a working group of stakeholders and community groups to work with them is exactly what many of us have campaigned for. "We'd like to thank the council for listening, considering the feedback and for proposing an alternative way forward." The Perth man is accused of running the alleged paedophile ring involving men he knew, aged 35 to 47. The girl suffered the alleged abuse over two-years before being saved after a tip-off from the public in April. "She was rescued from this horrible situation... and is safe," Detective Superintendent Glenn Feeney said. Police seized several computer storage devices which allegedly contained 149 videos of the girl. "To give an idea of the scope, one of these storage devices contained 200,000 videos and four million photos," Det Superintendent Feeney said. "It's disgusting material. There's no words to describe it." The eight men have been charged with a range of offences including sexual penetration of a child, sexual servitude, stupefaction of a child, and child pornography offences. 19 August 2016 Last updated at 16:26 BST Dashcam footage shows the black VW Golf travelling at speed down Leeds Road, Dewsbury, when it overtook a lorry and hit a white Ssangyong Korando, causing it to spin around. A 35-year-old woman in the white car was airlifted to hospital with serious facial injuries. Her two-year-old daughter was unharmed in the 12 July incident. The suspects then left the scene, West Yorkshire Police said. Dmitry Kovtun is one of two men British authorities believe poisoned Mr Litvinenko with radioactive polonium at a London hotel in 2006. He said he had been unable to get permission from Russian authorities to give evidence. Mr Kovtun, who denies involvement, was due to appear by videolink from Moscow. But he said he needed permission because testifying would risk violating an obligation of confidentiality to a Russian investigation into Mr Litvinenko's death. Sir Robert Owen, the chair of the inquiry, gave Mr Kovtun a deadline of 09:00 BST on Tuesday to begin giving evidence. During a meeting with Mr Kovtun and his co-accused Andrei Lugovoi, Mr Litvinenko drank tea containing a fatal dose of the radioactive substance polonium-210. Mr Litvinenko, 43, had been an officer with the Federal Security Service - the successor to the KGB - but fled to Britain where he became a UK citizen and a fierce critic of the Kremlin. Attempts to extradite Mr Kovtun and Mr Lugovoi have failed and they remain in Russia. Mr Kovtun originally refused to take part in the inquiry, but changed his mind in March. Speaking to the BBC in Moscow on Monday, the former Soviet army officer said he had been unable to contact the relevant Russian investigator. "Even if the investigator, who I have not been able to reach, gave me permission he would still have to make a decision on how much information I could disclose," he added. Mr Kovtun dismissed the suggestion he was never serious about giving evidence. If British authorities contacted investigators in Moscow on his behalf, they could still get permission for him to testify at a later date, he said. But the BBC's Moscow correspondent Sarah Rainsford said that seemed unlikely as the inquiry had already been delayed from the spring - specifically to allow Mr Kovtun to take part. On Friday, the Royal Courts of Justice in London heard Mr Kovtun had emailed to say he felt bound by obligations of confidentiality. At the time, Robin Tam QC, counsel to the inquiry, said: "There's a very strong argument for saying they've had far too much time already." And Richard Horwell QC, for the Metropolitan Police, said Mr Kovtun's actions did not come as "any surprise". "It appears Kovtun's request to give evidence was nothing more than an attempt to become a core participant and obtain as much information about these proceedings as he could," he said. Mr Kovtun denied that claim on Monday. A lawyer for Mr Litvinenko's widow claimed Mr Kovtun's actions implied he was guilty of her husband's murder, along with Mr Lugovoi, who also denies involvement. Who was Alexander Litvinenko? The featherweight has not fought since his loss to Leo Santa Cruz in their WBA title fight in Las Vegas. Frampton, 30, had promised his next bout would be in Belfast during the summer with Windsor Park or the SSE Arena the most likely venues. The opponent has yet to be named but Frampton has already ruled out a fight against IBF champion Lee Selby. Frampton has previously said that Windsor Park would be his preferred venue but the Irish FA has confirmed that it is still in negotiations with the boxer over the use of the stadium. "Cyclone Promotions have held discussions with the IFA but nothing has been agreed," an IFA spokesperson told BBC Sport. Confirmation of the venue is expected next week with the SSE Arena thought to be an alternative location. Former two-weight world champion Frampton lost his WBA featherweight title to Santa Cruz in January. He was initially expected to fight the Mexican for a third time this summer but that bout failed to materialise. A showdown against Selby had also been mooted but Frampton has confirmed that the Welsh fighter is unavailable as he is set to defend his IBF title against mandatory challenger Jonathan Victor Barros later this month. The robbery, which happened at a Bank of Scotland branch in Kirkcaldy, Fife, on Wednesday, sparked a bomb scare. The taxi driver picked up the man from The Avenue in Lochgelly and then made him carry out the robbery at the Mitchelston Industrial Estate branch. Police said the suspect may have been hanging about in Lochgelly beforehand and had a large blue canvas holdall. During the robbery, the taxi driver was forced to present a note to bank staff demanding money. A cashier handed over a four-figure sum but it was later recovered by police at the scene. A dedicated team of detectives have been checking CCTV footage from surrounding premises and carrying out door-to-door inquiries. Det Insp Charlie Duncan said: "I believe the male we are looking for may have been hanging about in the area of the small industrial estate on The Avenue, Lochgelly between 12.15pm and 12.40pm on Wednesday, before he was able to get a taxi to take him to Kirkcaldy. "I believe he was carrying a large blue canvas holdall with distinctive stripes on the corners. This male may have walked to this location from Lochgelly or may have been delivered there by another vehicle." He added: "I also know the male left the area of Carberry Road, Kirkcaldy, as he has been seen running along Carberry Place, which leads to the rear of the Asda store. "I believe he may have tried to leave the area immediately and in doing so may have again used a taxi or public transport, which would have been around 2pm. "I would ask anyone who believes they may have transported this male to come forward." The suspect was described as being as white, 5ft 6in tall, of heavy build. He was wearing a dark green baseball cap, a dark green scarf, a thick, dark blue jacket, tracksuit bottoms and sunglasses. He spoke with a distinctive Eastern European accent. Initial reports from the bank described how a possible explosive device was involved and nearby schools and shops were locked down while officers investigated the scene. Bomb disposal teams scoured the area but they later confirmed no explosives were involved in the incident, police said. All 108 seats in the new assembly have now been filled after the final count in Upper Bann on Saturday. Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Arlene Foster said she is looking forward to the start of government negotiations. The DUP remains the largest party at Stormont. As it happened: Northern Ireland Assembly election results Moments from count centres across Northern Ireland Election reflection The DUP has 38 seats, while Sinn Féin has 28, the Ulster Unionists 16, SDLP 12 and the Alliance Party has eight. Political parties have been given two weeks to agree a programme for government. BBC's Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler's view of the future assembly Anti-austerity party picks up seats Those talks will begin at Stormont on Monday. Mr McGuinness topped the poll in his home constituency of Foyle. He said that it is "incumbent on all those with a mandate to work together for the greater good in the face of many challenges". "On Monday, we will be entering discussions to agree and conclude a deliverable programme of government. "This programme must build on the progress to date and must represent a further step in the new start for our institutions." He told BBC Radio Ulster's The Sunday News that he hoped the programme for government negotiations could be finished before the two weeks allotted. "Work on the programme for government has been going on prior to the election for some months. "I do believe a considerable amount of work has been done. I would hope it could be concluded fairly quickly." DUP leader Arlene Foster, also speaking on The Sunday News, said that she was "looking forward" to the negotiations. "What I need to do now is bring forward my plan for the negotiations and to start getting things done for the country. "That's what I'm very focused on now in the next week." Mrs Foster added that she was hopeful that the programme negotiations would result in an extra £1bn spending for health. "I'm heartened that Sinn Féin in their manifesto also pointed out there should be £1bn more spent on health, so hopefully that will be able to be delivered. "I think people would welcome that right across Northern Ireland." SDLP's Nichola Mallon said that the negotiations will determine whether her party goes into government or opposition. "For us it's around the content for the programme for government," she said. "If it's right, we will be a part of government. If it's not, then we will be in opposition. "More has to be achieved and we're willing to be at the table to try and achieve that," she said. Philip Smith, from the UUP, said his party would get involved in negotiations but will not support the programme for government if it is "pre-cooked" or "tinkering around the edge". "If the programme for government is progressive and if there is a consensus to make it work, we may well go into government. "If we do, we would love the opportunity to take education as it in such a mess." Stephen Farry, from the Alliance Party, said there is a "major question" over whether the Alliance Party would go enter the executive. "There are issues around the quality of the programme for government, issues around how the way business is done," he said. The Frenchman, 29, has been with Lotus for four years and has 10 podium finishes in 78 grands prix. Haas, powered by Ferrari engines, will be the first USA-owned F1 team since 1986. "What everyone at Haas F1 Team is building is impressive, and I'm very proud to be a part of it," Grosjean said. "While I'm committed to giving my absolute best to my current team in these last five races, I am very excited for what the future holds at Haas." Grosjean has made the switch despite the expected takeover of Lotus by Renault. He had been widely tipped to join Haas and his move leaves a vacancy at Lotus/Renault alongside Pastor Maldonado, who recently signed a new deal. The other Haas seat is expected to be taken by former Sauber driver Esteban Gutierrez, who is Ferrari's reserve driver this year. The newly-formed outfit was created by Gene Haas, co-owner of the Stewart-Haas NASCAR team, and while their base is in the USA they will also work out of Banbury in Oxfordshire. Mr Farage said he thought people would be concerned if a group of Romanians moved in next door. Labour leader Ed Miliband said the comments were a "racial slur", while Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said the remarks had no place in modern Britain. On Sunday, Mr Farage said he regretted his form of words but said there was a "real problem" of Romanian criminality. In an interview for LBC Radio on Friday, Mr Farage was asked what the difference was between having a group of Romanian men and German children as neighbours. "You know what the difference is," Mr Farage replied. He added: "I was asked if a group of Romanian men moved in next to you, would you be concerned? And if you lived in London, I think you would be." He also said many migrants coming to the UK had been "forced into a life of crime" by "real poverty" in their country. In a statement following the interview he said: "Any normal and fair-minded person would have a perfect right to be concerned if a group of Romanian people suddenly moved in next door." Mr Miliband said the comments were "deeply offensive". He told Sky News: "I think they were a racial slur but I don't think of Nigel Farage as a racist himself." Deputy Prime Minister Mr Clegg said Mr Farage's mask was slipping and that the UKIP leader had "a rather nasty view of the world". He told BBC One's The Andrew Marr Show: "I think anyone who singles out one community, one nationality, and says 'I don't want to live next door to them', I really think that's the politics of division and I think it really should have no place in modern Britain. "I would say to people if you don't like that point of view, if, like me, you are really put off by this very divisive, nasty approach to things then please go out and vote." Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Committee, said the comments had echoes of abuse against members of the Asian community in the 1960s. He added: "This is just not the language that we should be involved in. I think there should be an explanation and I think there ought to be an apology." Prime Minister David Cameron has described some of Mr Farage's comments as "pretty unpleasant". "I just hope people will look at this and recognise that we are an open, tolerant, compassionate country," he said. "Yes, we want to have a controlled immigration system; yes, we want to sort out the welfare system, but we shouldn't put these labels on as UKIP do." The Sun newspaper on Saturday also criticised Mr Farage, saying his comments were "racism, pure and simple". Asked about his comments on Sunday during an interview with ITV, Mr Farage said: "I regret the fact that I was, sort of, completely tired out, and I didn't chose, I didn't use the form of words in response that I would have liked to have used. "I should have just hit back immediately and said, look, understand there is a real problem here, you can't deny it. "Too much criminality from those gangs from Romania has come to London - I could have been clearer. But, do you know what? In life, sometimes we get things wrong." The Glasgow City Alcohol and Drug Partnership said about 500 vulnerable drug users injected in public places. It said these people were responsible for the majority of discarded needles which posed a health risk and also contributed to public order problems. The partnership will examine if an injecting area, like those in Europe, Canada and Australia, could help here. If such a facility was approved, it would be the first of its kind in the UK. The Glasgow City Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) is a multi-agency group tasked by the Scottish government with tackling alcohol and drug issues. ADP chair, Susanne Millar, said: "There are approximately 5,500 drug injectors in Glasgow with around 500 of these injecting in public in the city centre. "While this is a tiny percentage of the city's population, it has a huge level of need and consists of a huge cost to the public purse. "We need to make our communities safer for all people living in and visiting the city, including those who publicly inject." ADP said the majority are people who injected drugs in public places experienced problems such as homelessness, mental health issues, recent imprisonment and poverty. They were at heightened risk of blood-borne viruses, overdose and drug-related death, and other injecting-related complications such as serious bacterial infections. The partnership said that in 2015 there was an HIV outbreak in Glasgow, with 47 new infections compared to the previously consistent annual average of 10. There were also several other outbreaks of serious infectious diseases such as botulism and anthrax. ADP will look at the case piloting a medically supervised injecting facility in Glasgow city centre, extending the existing opioid substitution therapy services to include heroin-assisted treatment and developing a peer support network for harm reduction. Dr Emilia Crighton, director of public health at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and vice chair of the ADP, said: "We are decades behind other countries in the way we tackle this problem. "Our ultimate goal is for drug users to recover from their addiction and remain drug free. "However, until someone is ready to seek and receive help to stop using drugs it is important to keep them as safe as possible while do they continue to use drugs." The League One club host the Premiership leaders in a fourth-round tie at Airdrie's Excelsior Stadium, with a crowd of 10,000 expected. "The atmosphere will be electric," Young told BBC Scotland. "These games don't come along very often, so when they do you've got to make the most of it." Rovers have already caused a shock in this season's competition, knocking out Championship side Queen of the South with a 2-1 victory. But former Aberdeen midfielder Young, 38, knows the challenge will ramp up against Brendan Rodgers' men. "There's no other team in Scottish football that's beaten them this season and I think there's only one team [Inverness CT] that have drawn with them," he said. "That shows you the kind of task we've got. Even if they rest a couple of players, it will be quality international players that replace them. "They went away there and signed a player [Kouassi Eboue] for £2.8m and there's a chance he won't even start, so that's the quality we're up against. "But we'll have a game plan and stick to it and hopefully get a few wee opportunities. If you take your chances at the right time, a wee bit of luck could help get us a victory or a draw." Six Nations organisers had ruled Marler would not be punished for the comment, made during the first half of England's 25-21 win over Wales on 12 March. But World Rugby, which governs the international game, says the prop's remark "amounts to misconduct and/or a breach" of its code of conduct. Marler apologised to Lee, who is from the Traveller community, at half-time. The Harlequins player was reprimanded by England head coach Eddie Jones, but the Welsh Rugby Union was disappointed he was not suspended. The electricity fault was reported in the Woodburn area of the city at around 11:20 BST. All affected customers had their power restored by 16:00 after the fault was repaired. NIE Networks have apologised for any inconvenience. City centre businesses and traffic lights were affected by a major fault in February. Gatland's team lost 39-21 in Auckland on Saturday, leading after an hour before conceding 21 points unanswered. Wales face the Chiefs on Tuesday before the second Test against the world champions in Wellington next Saturday. "There were a lot of positives out of today and we learn from the experience of that match," said Gatland. "I think we would have learned a heck of a lot from that and hopefully we are better for it again next week." Wales have lost 27 consecutive games against the All Blacks, with their last win coming in 1953. However, Gatland said the performance at Eden Park was a big improvement after a disappointing defeat by England at the end of May. "We were brilliant for 60 minutes. We said we were going to come out and play. We knew we needed that game after England," he added. "It's the learning you take from playing against the best team in the world and sometimes the learning takes place out in the middle. "It doesn't matter what we do on the training field and as coaches, you've got to be out there in the middle and experience the relentlessness that the All Blacks bring. "We feel like we get better the longer we are together. Players don't have that many games at that level of intensity. "They get to experience it a lot more than us and are familiar and comfortable with that." Taulupe Faletau and Rhys Webb scored tries for Wales, but the All Blacks hit back through two tries from wing Waisake Naholo and scores from Julian Savea, Kieran Read and Nathan Harris. The result ensured New Zealand's 22-year unbeaten run at Eden Park goes on after their 35th successive win at the ground. Wales play Steve Hansen's side again on Saturday, 18 June as they look for a first win in New Zealand. "We had to be brave and we had to be bold, and we did that," said Gatland. "I thought a couple of tries that we scored were outstanding and could have scored a couple more. "We made a couple of line-breaks where the All Blacks seemed reasonably happy to give away a penalty, rather than giving us a chance at the end of the breakdown. "They are the world's best team and they showed that at the end of the day because they just kept playing for the full 80 minutes." Patricia Wilson, 58, formerly of Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, vanished from her home in August 2012. Her body has never been found. Jean-Louis Cayrou, 54, of La Salvetat-Peyrales, told a court in Rodez near Toulouse that the case was "lies". The court heard the pair had an affair after her partner returned to Britain. Mrs Wilson had been living in a hamlet called Les Landes Basses near the village of Vabre-Tizac. She moved to the area with her partner Donald Marcus in 2008. Judge Regis Cayrol said the missing woman began an affair with the defendant in 2012 - about six months after Mr Marcus left to receive treatment for multiple sclerosis. The court heard that the relationship between Mr Cayrou and Mrs Wilson had deteriorated by mid-July 2012 and that she confided in friends that they had had an argument when she tried to end it. It was alleged by her friends that Mr Cayrou entered her house on 25 July, cut the electricity, attempted to suffocate her while she was sleeping and said: "I am doing this to show that you need a man in the house." Mrs Wilson returned to England between 8 and 17 August and the judge told the court the defendant was said to have bombarded her with calls. For more Hertfordshire stories, visit the BBC Local Live page Upon her return to France, friends became concerned about her lack of contact, let themselves into her house on 22 August and found traces of blood, the court heard. French police found blood and DNA in the boot of the defendant's car, on a head torch and a strap, the court heard. Mr Cayrou, who lived in a caravan, protested as the judge read out the charge of premeditated murder, saying they were "lies". The hearing continues. Tom Thwaites had special prostheses made so he could walk like an animal. The spoof awards, which are not quite as famous as the real Nobels, were handed out during their annual ceremony at Harvard University, US. Other studies honoured during the event examined the personalities of rocks, and how the world looks when you bend over and view it through your legs. On the surface, all the celebrated research sounds a bit daft, but a lot of it - when examined closely - is actually intended to tackle real-world problems. And nearly all of the science gets published in peer-reviewed, scholarly journals. It is unlikely, though, that the German carmaker Volkswagen will appreciate the point or humour of the Ig Nobels. The firm has been awarded the chemistry prize for the way it cheated emissions tests. Goat-man Tom Thwaites actually shares his biology prize with another Briton, Charles Foster, who also has spent time in the wild trying to experience life from an animal's perspective. Clearly, the practice is fast-becoming a national trait. Mr Thwaites concedes his effort was initially an attempt to escape the stress of modern living, but then became a passion. He spent a year researching the idea, and even persuaded an expert in prostheses, Dr Glyn Heath at Salford University, to build him a set of goat legs. Fascinating, if a little bizarre on occasions, was Mr Thwaites' verdict on the whole venture. He developed a strong bond with one animal in particular - a "goat buddy", but also very nearly kicked off a big confrontation at one point. "I was just sort of walking around, you know chewing grass, and just looked up and then suddenly realised that everyone else had stopped chewing and there was this tension which I hadn't kind of noticed before and then one or two of the goats started tossing their horns around and I think I was about to get in a fight," he told BBC News. The American science humour magazine, the Annals of Improbable Research, is the inspiration behind the Ig Nobels, which are now in their 26th year. Thursday night's ceremony was reportedly as chaotic as ever, with audience members throwing the obligatory paper planes while real Nobel laureates attempted to hand out the prizes. The full list of winners announced at Harvard's Sanders Theatre: Reproduction Prize - The late Ahmed Shafik, for testing the effects of wearing polyester, cotton, or wool trousers on the sex life of rats. Economics Prize - Mark Avis and colleagues, for assessing the perceived personalities of rocks, from a sales and marketing perspective. Physics Prize - Gabor Horvath and colleagues, for discovering why white-haired horses are the most horsefly-proof horses, and for discovering why dragonflies are fatally attracted to black tombstones. Chemistry Prize - Volkswagen, for solving the problem of excessive automobile pollution emissions by automatically, electromechanically producing fewer emissions whenever the cars are being tested. Medicine Prize - Christoph Helmchen and colleagues, for discovering that if you have an itch on the left side of your body, you can relieve it by looking into a mirror and scratching the right side of your body (and vice versa). Psychology Prize - Evelyne Debey and colleagues, for asking a thousand liars how often they lie, and for deciding whether to believe those answers. Peace Prize - Gordon Pennycook and colleagues, for their scholarly study called "On the Reception and Detection of Pseudo-Profound Bullshit". Biology Prize - Awarded jointly to: Charles Foster, for living in the wild as, at different times, a badger, an otter, a deer, a fox, and a bird; and to Thomas Thwaites, for creating prosthetic extensions of his limbs that allowed him to move in the manner of, and spend time roaming hills in the company of, goats. Literature Prize - Fredrik Sjoberg, for his three-volume autobiographical work about the pleasures of collecting flies that are dead, and flies that are not yet dead. Perception Prize - Atsuki Higashiyama and Kohei Adachi, for investigating whether things look different when you bend over and view them between your legs. For those who cannot abide this sort of nonsense, the real Nobel Prizes are handed out the week after next. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos A delay in submitting audited accounts meant the club were under embargo from 1 January until accounts were submitted. The club are on the verge of being taken over by an American consortium led by John Jay Moores. The consortium have said the money for the deal - thought to be worth £50m - is in the bank and available. But there has been no update from the club - or the prospective new owners - as to whether the takeover from Fawaz Al Hasawi has been completed. The Reds have lost five of their last six matches, with their only point in that time coming in a 1-1 home draw with Preston, and are currently only two points clear of the relegation zone. BBC Radio Nottingham's Nottingham Forest correspondent Colin Fray "It's clearly good news that Forest are able to add to their squad again, even if fans are still waiting for news on the takeover. "The suggestion was that the delay in submitting the accounts was because it was unclear who would be responsible for the day-to-day funding of the company. "While we still don't know who that is. it now seems that someone - possibly the potential new owners, possibly the current owner, or possibly both - has taken on that responsibility. "That would have enabled the club to send their accounts to the league and, as expected, as soon as they did, the embargo was removed. This news suggests that negotiations are progressing, but we still don't know in which direction." BBC Sport has picked out some of the day's main talking points from Saturday's action in the Football League. Every side dreams of scoring straight from kick-off and Reading managed just that against promotion-chasing Middlesbrough at the Madejski Stadium. USA international Danny Williams gave the Royals a perfect start with just 15 seconds on the clock, heading in Hal Robson-Kanu's lofted cross. It was the Berkshire club's third-fastest goal ever and helped Steve Clarke's side beat a Middlesbrough team who had won their previous five. Nick Blackman added a late second for Reading, who move up to third in the Championship and two points behind Boro. Reading 2-0 Middlesbrough Former England international Darren Bent has had to accept a place on the bench following his summer move to Derby County, only starting twice this season. He scored as a late substitute against MK Dons last week but getting stuck in a traffic jam in the Midlands meant he was omitted from the squad to face Brentford. "It wasn't his fault and it can happen," Rams head coach Paul Clement told BBC Radio Derby. "I couldn't be totally sure exactly what time he would arrive and I had to name the team and the substitutes in his absence. "Anyone can get into traffic and that was the case with Darren. Is it harsh? It's unfortunate and not something I wanted to do." Derby 2-0 Brentford Leon Clarke's ninth goal of the season helped Bury extend their unbeaten run away from home to 17 matches - stretching all the way back to January. The Shakers, promoted from League Two last season, won by a single goal at Colchester. David Flitcroft's side have won their last six games in League One and are now third in the table, three points off leaders Burton Albion. Their last defeat on the road came when they were beaten 1-0 by the Brewers at the Pirelli Stadium on 31 January. Colchester 0-1 Bury Blackpool have endured a difficult time since their relegation from the Championship last season. Manager Neil McDonald has had to mould a new-look squad through supporter protests while chairman Karl Oyston has been involved in spats with fans and the club president. However the Tangerines have recorded back-to-back wins for the first time since September 2013, following up victory over Chesterfield last week with a win over Swindon Town. Mark Cullen's first-half goal was enough to secure all three points. Things may be looking up at Bloomfield Road, although the club remain in the League One relegation zone on goal difference. Blackpool 1-0 Swindon Former Tottenham and Manchester United forward Teddy Sheringham took his first managerial post at Stevenage this summer, following a spell as attacking coach at West Ham. However the 49-year-old, who won the treble with United in 1999, has found the transition to the dugout far from plain sailing. A 1-0 defeat at home to Carlisle on Saturday, courtesy of Tom Miller's late goal, meant Stevenage slumped to their fourth consecutive defeat in League Two, Boro are now six games without a win and are just two points above the relegation zone. Stevenage 0-1 Carlisle 7 January 2016 Last updated at 11:04 GMT Mcor said it was the first time such technology had become available in a machine suitable for classrooms and offices.

Fire appliances from Dundee and Perth were called to the White Horse Inn in North William Street at about 04:40 on Saturday. The blaze started on the ground floor before spreading to the roof of the building. Police and local authority officials temporarily relocated nearby residents. There were no reports of any injuries. The White Horse Inn was damaged three years ago after a blaze swept through the ground and first floors of the building. Noye, 63, stabbed 21-year-old Stephen Cameron during a fight on an M25 slip road at Swanley in 1996. He fled to Spain afterwards but was extradited in 1998 and jailed for life at the Old Bailey in 2000. He denied murder, on the grounds of self-defence. Two previous appeals by Noye, in 2001 and 2004, were unsuccessful. Mr Cameron was stabbed in front of his fiance, Danielle Cable, who is now in a witness protection scheme. Noye's case was being looked at again following a decision by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) to refer it to the Court of Appeal. Clare Montgomery QC had told Lord Judge, the Lord Chief Justice, and two other judges that key prosecution witnesses at the trial were now "so discredited" that Noye's conviction should be quashed. She said the court must regard pathologist Michael Heath and eyewitness Alan Decabral as being "so discredited or potentially discredited that the court would have to ignore their evidence". Ms Montgomery said fresh evidence had demonstrated their unreliability and therefore the conviction was unsafe. Mr Decabral, 40, from Pluckley in Kent, was shot dead in October 2000, six months after Noye's trial. Noye launched his appeal in 2001 on the grounds that Mr Decabral had a criminal background and had lied in the witness box. Kent Police said to date there had been no charges in relation to Mr Decabral's death, and the file on the case remained open. Giving judgement on Tuesday, Lord Judge, sitting with Mr Justice Henriques and Mr Justice Davis, said there was no doubt that Mr Cameron was "deliberately stabbed" by Noye, and that it "was not self-defence". Lord Judge said: "Rather it was a gross over-reaction in the context of a fight with an unarmed man, almost certainly consequent on the fact that the appellant was losing it." He said nothing in Dr Heath's evidence "threw light on the truthfulness, or otherwise, of what the appellant asserted was in his mind, which was that he struck out in a panic while in mortal fear". The prosecution case was that Noye had deliberately used the knife and caused the fatal injury, "not because he was in a panic or fearful of mortal injury, but because he had involved himself in a fight which he was determined he should not lose, and so he resorted to the use of a fatal weapon". Lord Judge said: "To open the knife, and then return to the fight and 'punch' Mr Cameron with the open knife held in his fist was a wholly disproportionate response." He went on to say that Noye could have tried to run away, or sought refuge among the many people who were nearby. Lord Judge added that if Noye had genuinely thought Mr Cameron might have disarmed him and used the knife on him, he could have thrown it away. "Dr Heath's evidence did not impinge on the essential issues in this trial, and the diminution of his standing as an expert witness does not undermine the safety of this conviction." The judges found that no point raised during the appeal had caused the court to doubt the safety of the conviction. Speaking outside court, Det Insp Dave Withers of Kent Police said: "We are pleased that the court have examined the evidence that has been presented and have found that the conviction is safe. "We now hope that this brings some reassurance to Stephen Cameron's family and friends." 29 July 2017 Last updated at 12:32 BST The team are fresh from picking up a gold medal at the world games last week.

Administrators have been appointed to Obel Ltd, Obel Offices Ltd and Donegall Quay Ltd the three firms which control the office and residential complex. The main firm, Donegall Quay, owes the former Bank of Scotland Ireland (BoSI) more than £51m according to its last set of accounts filed in 2011. BoSI has been shut down by its parent company, Lloyds Banking Group. Its loan book is being aggressively wound down. The Obel consists of a 28-storey residential tower and an adjoining six-storey office block. It was launched onto the market in 2005 and dozens of apartments were sold off plan, mainly to buy-to-let investors. However as the property market crashed sales slowed and many of the apartments are still empty. Most of the office block is let to the international law firm Allen & Overy. The administration will have no effect on tenants or any owners of apartments in the development. The Obel project was originally backed by a consortium of developers, but in 2008 the Blackbourne family took full control, buying out their partners with the backing of BoSI. The Blackbournes have other business interests which are unaffected by the administration of the Obel firms. One of the owners, Aaron Blackbourne, said he could not comment. This is the latest in a series of high profile projects to face enforced action from BoSI - it was the lender to the Lough Erne golf resort, Comber Mill Village and the firm which built the Four Corners Hotel in Belfast's Catherdral Quarter. Earlier this month Lloyds sold £1.47bn of BoSI loans to an investment company for just £149m, equating to a 90% loss.

Belfast's tallest building, the Obel, has been effectively repossessed.

The Argentina international sat out December's Fifa Club World Cup semi-final after being diagnosed with renal colic, a type of abdominal pain commonly attributed to kidney stones. He was able to play in the final three days later, and has played in all of Barca's league games since. A club statement said Messi, 28, will return to "normal duties" on Wednesday. "Barcelona striker Lionel Messi will undergo several tests on Monday and Tuesday to assess the evolution of the kidney problems he suffered last December," it said. Messi has scored 12 goals in 17 La Liga games this season to help Barcelona go three points clear at the top of the table. He played the full 90 minutes of Sunday's 2-0 win at bottom club Levante. On Wednesday, Barca visit Valencia in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final, which they lead 7-0 on aggregate.

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi missed training on Monday to have tests on his kidneys.

One of them features a man smoking and urges people not to "watch your money go up in smoke". Campaigners say the posters "demonise the vulnerable" and are unfair to the homeless. The council has defended its stance as targeting "aggressive" begging. The best way to help the homeless is to give through a registered charity, the authority said. More news from around Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City council leader Jon Collins said: "Community protection and the police are continually taking action against a small number of persistent beggars who can sometimes be aggressive. "Many of these individuals appear to be rough sleeping when they have already been provided with accommodation and use the money to feed their lifestyle. "These professional beggars can make up to £800 a day and have in the past waved notes in front of officers." He said the council spends over £8m annually on commissioning specialist treatment services for alcohol and drug addiction. One of the posters has been put on the eBay online auction site and has bids of more than £3,200. Ruth Atkinson, a student from Lenton who started the petition, said: "Exploiting stereotypes like this would not be tolerated if discrimination were focused on gender, sexuality, race or religion. "These adverts have the very real potential to increase hostility towards people who beg. "Many homeless people depend on the money of kind strangers to buy food and shelter, and this campaign of yours is going to make their lives so much harder," she said. "I saw the posters and thought: 'That is completely wrong to stereotype all beggars as alcoholics,' so I thought I would start a petition to see if people agree with me." British Muslims have told the BBC they are worried about people who made the pilgrimage and have not been heard from since Thursday's incident, in which 717 people died. The Foreign Office said it was seeking information from Saudi authorities on any Britons who might be affected. Anyone worried about friends or family can call a helpline on 020 7008 1500. So far no British nationals have been confirmed among the dead following the incident, which happened at Mina as two million pilgrims took part in the last major rite of the Hajj pilgrimage. Saleem Kidwai, of the Muslim Council of Wales, has said he is aware of one group of pilgrims from Cardiff which has not so far made contact with home. On Thursday Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said UK officials were "checking hospitals and other locations to urgently gather information about British nationals who may require assistance". Speaking to the BBC in East London earlier, one British woman, Amy, said most British Muslims would know someone attending the pilgrimage. "Currently I have about, maybe, 10 friends over there, some of whom we're still trying to get hold of," she said. She added that most people making the trip did not take their phones, as it was a "spiritual journey" - but as Saudi authorities were releasing details of the dead she assumed that "no news is good news". British pilgrim Kashif Latif told the BBC he passed through the area "a couple of hours" before the tragedy happened. He said he first heard something was wrong when loved ones in the UK phoned to make sure he was not hurt. But he added: "We had seen a lot of skirmishes and a lot of close calls purely through the sheer volume of people that there are at the Hajj." Rashid Mogradia, chief executive of the Council of British Hajjis (CBH), told the BBC the place where British pilgrims camp was "kilometres away from the main incident point". "We have to take some kind of consolation to know that they are away from the actual incident place," he added. The CBH estimates that more than 25,000 UK Muslims travel each year to take part in the Hajj, a five-day pilgrimage that every adult Muslim must perform at least once in their lives if they can afford it and are physically able. Lews Castle Grounds in Stornoway and Dean Castle Park in Kilmarnock have been awarded grants. It is hoped the restoration of historic Lews Castle Grounds will encourage more people to use the park. A new space for outdoor theatre, music and crafts is planned at Dean Castle Park, with gardens being restored and the visitor centre improved. Iain Maciver, of the Stornoway Trust, said of the Lews funding: "This exciting news offers the trust an opportunity to manage the restoration and regeneration of an outstanding asset. "We are indebted to HLF for allowing us to further progress our vision for the revitalisation of our wonderful legacy." Douglas Reid, leader of East Ayrshire Council, said: "This is incredible news for Dean Castle Country Park, a place that is hugely important to the people of Kilmarnock and beyond, and we all wish to see it protected and enhanced for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations. "We are delighted with this grant which will enable us to enhance the visitor experience and make it a destination that people of all ages can enjoy in all weathers, all year round." Colin McLean, head of HLF in Scotland, said: "Using funds raised through the National Lottery, HLF is able to protect these precious places helping make a difference to the quality of life for millions of Scots." There were 65,648,000 people in the UK in June 2016, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The ONS said that was a rise of 538,000 on the figure in 2015, equivalent to a city the size of Bradford. Net migration of 336,000 accounted for 62.4%, while the difference between birth and death rates made up 35.8%. There was also an increase of 9,500 in armed forces personnel based in the UK. The population went up in 364 local authority areas, with the biggest rises in the City of London (7.3%) and Tower Hamlets (3.3%). It fell in 26 areas, including South Lakeland and Aberdeen, 17 of them on the coast, and remained the same in one. Last year's increase was the highest since 1947, which saw a rise of 551,000, driven mainly by a surge in births after World War Two. Around the UK, the population of England jumped by 481,800 (0.9%) to 55,268,100 - and is now more than 55 million for the first time. The population of Scotland increased by 31,700 (0.6%) to 5,404,700, Wales by 14,100 (0.5%) to 3,113,200, and Northern Ireland by 10,500 (0.6%) to 1,862,100. Neil Park, head of the Population Estimates Unit at the ONS, said: "The population of the UK continued to grow in the year to mid-2016 at a similar rate to that seen over recent years. "Net international migration continued to be the main driver, but there was also an increase in births and fewer deaths than last year." The population of the UK has increased by just over five million in 11 years - previously it took 35 years, from 1970 to 2005, to make the same leap. Population change in the UK has averaged 482,000 a year over the past decade. The ONS bases its figures on the usually resident population of the UK, and long-term international migrants who change their country of usual residence for a period of 12 months or more. There was not enough thought about vehicles reflecting routes and a "one size fits all" approach was wrong, the cabinet member for refuse told BBC WM. But the council said most people who had received wheelie bins for recycled waste said streets were now cleaner and the service was working. A two-week review of all vehicles and routes started this week. Updates on this story and more from Birmingham Lisa Trickett said collections were fine in "99.9%" of streets in the city. But she said: "There was not enough thought given when the routes were planned. "Local intelligence was not used to shape the service. "My point to managers was when they were designing the specification, surely they actually took the time to think of the roads and the routes... and what vehicles would need to be reflected? That was not the case." She said there were a number of roads in the city where "normal-sized wagons" had been deployed where it was now apparent other vehicles were needed. "You cannot overhaul a service like the fleet and waste service that we inherited without some problems. "I sincerely apologise for all of the problems that have been caused over the Christmas period." Edgbaston resident Pranav Gupta said his recycled waste had not been properly collected since November, when the wheelie bin system had been introduced on his street. "They never actually bring a recycling waste wagon to collect the rubbish, even if it's reported as a missed collection." Islamic State has become synonymous with viciousness - beheadings, crucifixions, stonings, massacres, burying victims alive and religious and ethnic cleansing. While such savagery might seem senseless to the vast majority of civilised human beings, for IS it is a rational choice. It is a conscious decision to terrorise enemies and impress and co-opt new recruits. IS adheres to a doctrine of total war without limits and constraints - no such thing, for instance, as arbitration or compromise when it comes to settling disputes with even Sunni Islamist rivals. Unlike its parent organisation, al-Qaeda, IS pays no lip service to theology to justify its crimes. The violence has its roots in what can be identified as two earlier waves, though the scale and intensity of IS' brutality far exceeds either. The first wave, led by disciples of Sayyid Qutb - a radical Egyptian Islamist regarded as the master theoretician of modern jihadism - targeted pro-Western secular Arab regimes or what they called the "near enemy", and, on balance, showed restraint in the use of political violence. Beginning with the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in 1980, this Islamist insurgency dissipated by the end of the 1990s. It had cost some 2,000 lives and saw a large number of militants head to Afghanistan to battle a new global enemy - the Soviet Union. The Afghan jihad against the Soviets gave birth to a second wave, with a specific target - the "far enemy", or the United States and, to a lesser extent, Europe. It was spearheaded by a wealthy Saudi turned revolutionary, Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden went to great lengths to rationalise al-Qaeda's attack on the US on 11 September 2001, calling it "defensive jihad", or retaliation against perceived US domination of Muslim societies. Conscious of the importance of winning hearts and minds, Bin Laden sold his message to Muslims and even Americans as self-defence, not aggression. This kind of justification, however, carries no weight with IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who cannot care less what the world thinks of his blood-letting. In fact, he and his cohorts revel in displaying barbarity and coming across as savage. In contrast to the first two waves, IS actually stresses violent action over theology and theory, and has produced no repertoire of ideas to sustain and nourish its social base. It is a killing machine powered by blood and iron. Going beyond Bin Laden's doctrine that "when people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse", al-Baghdadi's "victory through terrorism" signals to friends and foes that IS is a winning horse. Get out of the way or you will be crushed; join our caravan and make history. Increasing evidence shows that over the past few months, hundreds, if not thousands, of diehard former Islamist enemies of IS, such as the al-Nusra Front and the Islamic Front, answered al-Baghdadi's call. IS' sophisticated outreach campaign appeals to disaffected and deluded young Sunnis worldwide because it is seen as a powerful vanguard that delivers victory and salvation. Far from abhorring the group's brutality, young recruits are attracted by its shock-and-awe tactics against the enemies of Islam. Its exploits on the battlefield - especially capturing huge swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq, and establishing a caliphate - resonate near and far. Nothing succeeds like success, and IS' recent military gains have brought it a recruitment bonanza. Muslim men living in Western countries join IS and other extremist groups because they feel part of a greater mission - to resurrect a lost idealised type of caliphate and be part of a tight-knit community with a potent identity. Initially, many young men from London, Berlin and Paris and elsewhere migrate to the lands of jihad to defend persecuted co-religionists, but they end up in the clutches of IS, doing its evil deeds, such as beheading innocent civilians. The drivers behind IS' unrestrained extremism can be traced to its origins with al-Qaeda in Iraq, led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was killed by the Americans in 2006. Not unlike its predecessor, IS is nourished on an anti-Shia diet and visceral hatred of minorities in general, portraying itself as the spearhead of Sunni Arabs in the fight against sectarian-based regimes in Baghdad and Damascus. Al-Zarqawi and al-Baghdadi view Shias as infidels, a fifth column in the heart of Islam that must be wiped out - a genocidal worldview. Following in the footsteps of al-Zarqawi, al-Baghdadi ignored repeated pleas by his mentor Ayman al-Zawahiri, head of al-Qaeda, and other top militants to avoid indiscriminate killing of Shia and, instead, to attack the Shia-dominated and Alawite regimes in Iraq and Syria. By exploiting the deepening Sunni-Shia rift in Iraq and the sectarian civil war in Syria, al-Baghdadi has built a powerful base of support among rebellious Sunnis and has blended his group into local communities. He also restructured his military network and co-opted experienced officers of Saddam Hussein's disbanded army who turned IS into a professional sectarian fighting force. IS has so far consistently focused on the Shia and not the "far enemy". The struggle against the US and Europe is distant, not a priority; it has to await liberation at home. At the height of Israeli bombings of Gaza in August, militants on social media criticised IS for killing Muslims while doing nothing to help the Palestinians. IS retorted by saying the struggle against the Shia takes priority over everything else. Now that the US and Europe have joined the conflict against IS, the group will use all its assets in retaliation, including further beheading of hostages. There is also a growing likelihood that it will attack soft diplomatic targets in the Middle East. While it might want to stage a spectacular operation on the American or European homeland, it is doubtful that IS currently has the capabilities to carry out complex attacks like 9/11. A few months ago, in response to chatter by his followers, al-Baghdadi acknowledged that his organisation was not equipped to attack the Americans at home. He said though that he wished the US would deploy boots on the ground so that IS could directly engage the Americans - and kill them.

The Las Vegas match-up between Kovalev and ex-super-middleweight king Ward is being billed as the fight of the year. Kovalev is one of the most feared punchers in boxing, while American Ward is one of the most skilful. "If Kovalev makes any mistakes I will make him pay. He can be dropped and he can be knocked out," said Ward. "We will see who is the puncher. There have been many times when the guy who had the jackhammer did not turn out to be the puncher." Kovalev, 33, has 30 wins and one draw from 31 professional fights, with 26 knockouts. Ward is unbeaten in 30, with 15 knockouts. At 168lb, the 32-year-old Ward beat the likes of Denmark's Mikkel Kessler and Britain's Carl Froch and many believe him to be the world's best pound-for-pound boxer. Kovalev beat Welshman Nathan Cleverly inside four rounds in 2013 to secure the WBO light-heavyweight title before winning the WBA and IBF belts from American legend Bernard Hopkins. Kovalev has long been linked with a fight against WBC champion Adonis Stevenson, but the Canadian appears reluctant to share a ring with him. "I want to destroy him [Ward]," said Kovalev, whose last fight was a scrappy points victory over the awkward Isaac Chilemba. "It's not about who is stronger, but who is smarter, brings the best skills into the ring and is mentally stronger. If I happen to knock him out it will be a bonus for boxing fans and myself." "That feeling will never leave me," he says. "Even talking about it now, I get a gagging sensation in my throat." He was 19 at the time and was being questioned by members of the Parachute Regiment about the murder of a soldier, Private Frank Bell. He died three days after being shot in the head as he patrolled in the Springfield Avenue area of west Belfast in September 1972. The teenage chef was taken from his home and brought to an army post at Blackmountain school, where he was held for almost five hours. By the end of his time in military custody, he had agreed to sign a statement admitting he had shot the soldier. "By the time they were finished with me I would have admitted to killing JFK," he says. So what did the Army do during that time? Liam Holden says he was subjected to sustained torture and then threatened that he would be shot if he did not confess to the killing. "I was beaten and they told me to admit I had shot the soldier, but I said that wasn't true because I didn't. "Then six soldiers came into the cubicle where I was being held and grabbed me. They held me down on the floor and one of them placed a towel over my face, and they got water and they started pouring the water through the towel all round my face, very slowly," he says. "After a while you can't get your breath but you still try to get your breath, so when you were trying to breathe in through your mouth you are sucking the water in, and if you try to breathe in through your nose, you are sniffing the water in. "It was continual, a slow process, and at the end of it you basically feel like you are suffocating. They did not stop until I passed out, or was close to passing out. "They repeated that three or four times, but were still getting the same answer. I told them I had not shot the soldier." Mr Holden, now a father of two, said the soldiers then changed tactics and put a hood over his head and told him he was going to be shot. "They put me into a car and took me for a drive and said they were bringing me to a loyalist area," he said. "I couldn't see where I was but I was in a field somewhere. One of the soldiers put a gun to my head and said that if I didn't admit to killing the soldier that they were going to shoot me and just leave me there. "I had a hood over my head and a gun at my head in the middle of a field and was told I would be killed if I didn't admit it. There were no ifs or buts, I just said I did it. "I didn't think about going to prison or anything like that, I just confessed to make them stop." The term "waterboarding" was not in use at the time, but Mr Holden's description of what happened to him, which he outlined in court at the time, are remarkably similar to the accounts of others who claim to have been subjected to the same form of torture by the CIA in recent years. Although Mr Holden had an alibi for the time of the shooting, and the only evidence against him was the confession he said he had been forced to sign, he was convicted. "They knew I did not shoot that soldier, they knew. There was no evidence whatsoever apart from that statement that I signed," he says. He was released from prison in 1989 after serving 17 years. Since then, he has campaigned to clear his name and the Criminal Cases Review Commission, which was established to investigate possible miscarriages of justice, referred his case to the Court of Appeal. The commission took the decision based on new evidence and doubts about "the admissibility of reliability" of his confession. Some of the new material included evidence discovered by a Guardian journalist, Ian Cobain, that water torture was used by the British military at the time, despite repeated denials. The journalist was an expert witness for Mr Holden's legal team. Last month, Mr Holden was granted permission to appeal after the Public Prosecution Service said it would not oppose the move. A spokesman for the PPS said its decision was based on confidential evidence compiled by the Criminal Cases Review Commission which had not been available to prosecutors at the time of the trial. "The court of trial was therefore deprived of relevant material that might have led to a different outcome on the question of the admissibility of the incriminating statements, which were the sole basis of the conviction," the spokesman added. "In those circumstances the director concluded that it would not be appropriate to oppose the appeal." Liam Holden said he lost his family as well as his liberty during those 17 years in jail. "I have five brothers and five sisters, but I don't really know them. The older ones moved on, got married and had their own families while I was in jail. The ones who were younger than me when I was sent to prison didn't get the chance to get to know me." His mother died a year after he was released, and his father a short time later. "I'm just sorry they aren't around to see the outcome of this appeal, to see the stigma removed from my name. That is what this is about. I have never mentioned money at any stage. This is just about being found not guilty and that's all it is, that is more important than any compensation they could ever think of offering me." What about the soldiers who tortured him and forced him to sign the confession that led to his conviction? "I would just like one of them to admit it, to acknowledge that they subjected me to what I have said they did. I think that would be almost as good, in my own mind, as the judge saying 'Sorry Mr Holden but you were not guilty," he said. Supporters of leader Jeremy Corbyn fear the package of reforms will tip the balance on the National Executive Committee away from him. Loud protests were heard from the conference floor, with Mr Corbyn's supporters calling for a line-by-line debate on each measure. They include giving Scottish and Welsh parties a voting member of the NEC. This element was opposed by the Unite union, but it said it would abstain on the package as a whole. Divisions over Mr Corbyn, who retained the leadership with an increased majority among party members and supporters on Saturday but who has the support of only about 20% of the party's MPs, have sparked behind-the-scenes battles over Labour's internal mechanisms. This reform package is wide-ranging. It will give the parties in Scotland and Wales the ability to set all their own policy and control over the selection of candidates. These elements are uncontroversial. But a row has been running for days on whether the leaders in Scotland and Wales should be able to appoint someone to the UK NEC. This goes to the heart of the power struggle in the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn's supporters are worried it could mean their ability to push through changes on the executive is threatened. So they've been trying to remove that part of the package. But they've been unsuccessful. The reforms went before the conference as one package - and have now passed. NEC chairman Paddy Lillis, who was chairing the debate on the rule changes, was urged by some speakers - including union boss Manuel Cortes and Corbyn ally Christine Shawcroft - to agree to a card vote, where delegates' votes would be recorded and counted, rather than a show of hands, and for the individual measures to be considered one-by-one rather than as package. But when he put the matter to the floor he said it was "overwhelmingly carried" by a show of hands. It was later agreed in a vote, but Jon Lansman, who founded the pro-Corbyn Momentum group, claimed the process had been "rigged". "You want pale red, big size onions for the Russians? I will send you a sample straightaway," he told an exporter as glum farmers in white pointed caps followed him. He rang off, took a picture of an onion and sent it to the caller using a popular phone app. India's awakening youth Life on Mars Your pictures: India India Direct "Technology has made things easier for the trade," Mr Jain says with a grin. "After all we have no time to waste here." Lasalgaon is Asia's biggest onion market - in Maharashtra, a state which accounts for a third of India's 16 million tonnes annual production. Mr Jain is one of 200 licensed traders in the area who buy onions from some 1,700 farmers. They bring their crop from near and far in tractor trailers to the auction, one of the 13 that take place in the area, five to six days a week. The onion is a remarkable vegetable. It is an essential part of the diets of millions of Indians, rich and poor. Few Indian kitchens can do without the pungent bulb. It's pureed, sautéed and garnished in meals, eaten raw as a salad, used as a dip, fried as fritters and crisps. "The demand for onions is completely inelastic. You cannot substitute it with any other vegetable," says farm economist Ashok Gulati, who also heads India's Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices. So, Indians cannot do without onions. A glut in supply can bring down prices, hitting tens of thousands of farmers. Maharashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka, the three main growing states that account for 60% of the crop and three-quarters of the trade, are particularly sensitive to price movements. Conversely, a shortage can send prices spiralling and trigger angry protests and even bring down governments. In 2010, the Congress-led ruling government was forced to ban exports and start importing onions to prevent street protests against rising prices. As the New York Times put it "when the cost of onions goes up, governments can come down". Last year, wholesale onion prices leapt over 270% after rains delayed the harvest and damaged crops. Expensive food hits the poorest households most as they spend some 60% of their earnings on it. "The onion is a very volatile commodity," says Mr Jain. "Nobody knows when the prices will move up or go down. We can't hoard it for too long because it is perishable and it is bought and sold in the free market." The onion trade also underlines the many weaknesses of India's trillion dollar economy - Asia's third-largest - which is grappling with high inflation and low growth. For one, the trade demonstrates how the farm economy depends heavily on the vagaries of weather. Unseasonal rain can damage crops, choke supply lines and drive up prices. A drought can lead to severe shortages and inflation. Where the consumers and farmers lose, the traders and retailers gain. The trade is a glaring example of how a complex and messy supply chain sometimes involving just half a dozen middlemen setting prices can make the vegetable very expensive in retail. During the weekend at the Lasalgaon auction, supply was good and Mr Jain was picking up the crop between 8 and 9.50 rupees (13-15 cents) a kilogram from farmers. Some 233km (144 miles) away in Mumbai, onions were selling at at least three times the price in shops and markets. "There have been instances of shortage of supplies leading to 400 to 500% increase in price of onions by the time the crop reaches retailers. Everybody is happily racking up margins," says Ashok Gulati, the farm economist. Making sure that the crop reaches markets is another challenge. Transportation, or the lack of it, is part of India's story of patchy infrastructure which remains a major obstacle to economic growth. On the day we met him, Mr Jain was working his phones to get some trucks to carry his onions to a buyer in the eastern city of Calcutta, some 1,750km away. There were 165 onion trucks rumbling their way to the city every day, he explained, but that wasn't enough. Rail isn't an option. Despite four railway stations in the region there are too few freight cars to rush supplies to the big onion markets in the north and east of the country. "There just aren't enough trucks and trains to carry the crops. And we cannot store onions indefinitely as it is a highly perishable vegetable," says Mr Jain. Making matters worse is the fact that onions are 85% water. When stocked in archaic storage in India's blisteringly hot summers, they lose weight fast. Mr Jain stores his onions in tarpaulin-covered sheds in a dusty two-acre plot, where around 60 workers are busy sorting and grading the onions for size and quality. He estimates that 3-5% of the crop he stores is routinely wasted in storage. "What you sell eventually is considerably less than what you buy from the farmer," says economist Mr Gulati. That is the way it is going to be until India sets up a network of countrywide cold storages. A recent report by the UK-based Institution of Mechanical Engineers said 40% of fruit and vegetables in India was lost every year between the farm and the consumer due to lack of adequate cold storage. One way to dampen volatility in onion prices, some economists believe, is to dehydrate the bulb and make these processed onions more widely available. Currently, less than 5% of India's fruit and vegetables are processed, of which just 150,000 tonnes are onions. "If you dehydrate onions, you save time cooking, increase the shelf life of the vegetable and stabilise the prices. I find no loss of taste either," says Mr Gulati. Economists like him believe that India needs to scale up its infant food processing industry to make sure perishable vegetables and fruit are not wasted and fetch a stable price. Back at the auction, Manoj Kumar Jain, says he cannot understand India's onion "mania". "It is not something which is saving a lot of lives or anything," he says. "Why do people hanker after onions? Why do the people, media and politicians get worked up about it? Look at me, I don't have onions." But then Mr Jain belongs to India's five-million-strong Jain community who while practising vegetarians avoid onion and garlic. Despite this aversion to consuming onions, two generations of his family have grown rich trading the vegetable and that isn't going to end soon. First Minister Carwyn Jones joined members of the Army, Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force at Llandaff Cathedral. The service, honouring those who fought in World War One's largest battle, ended with a two-minute silence. The vigil finishes with a public service at the National War Memorial at 07:00 BST on Friday. Commemorations are being held around the UK and France, including at Westminster Abbey in London where the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh attended an evening vigil. Mr Jones and Cardiff council leader Phil Bale were among those who gave readings at the Llandaff Cathedral service and Rev Steven Whiting, deputy assistant chaplain general for the 160th Infantry Brigade and Headquarters Wales, lit a trench lantern. Around Wales, churches and community groups have been hosting events to mark the battle, which began on 1 July 1916 and lasted for five months. Among them, All Saints Church, Deganwy, in Conwy county, held a vigil with poetry and prose readings. Wrexham's Glyndwr University Community Choir and Dinas Brân High School in Llangollen, Denbighshire, took part in a concert and service at St Collen's Church, Llangollen. First Minister Mr Jones said he was honoured to lead the vigil at Llandaff Cathedral "to remember and reflect upon the sacrifices made by the one million men who were wounded or killed during the Battle of the Somme". "Those who fought bravely for our futures should never be forgotten," he added. "It is so important we all understand how the First World War changed our country forever, while we must also learn lessons to ensure such atrocities don't ever happen again." Maj Andrew Poë, from the 160th Infantry Brigade and Headquarters Wales, whose great uncle died at the Somme, said: "To comprehend what people went through then is quite difficult now - it's very important we remember these significant dates in our history." There will be various prayers and readings throughout the night, the first of which was done by pupils at Tonypandy Community College, whose pupils received a grant from Heritage Lottery Fund to study WW1. Youth empowerment officer Jackie Jones said: "For us to be part of this was a real privilege, we're the only school invited which came on the back of our interest in World War One." As part of their studies, pupils have been researching soldiers from the area who fought and died in the war. Following the overnight vigil, a military vehicle will transport a World War One lantern from Llandaff to Cathays Park in the centre of Cardiff at about 04:30 BST. It will be accompanied by two soldiers dressed in replica uniform. The vigil will then continue at the Welsh National War Memorial before ending with a 30-minute public service at 07:00 BST to coincide with the time the battle began 100 years ago. It will end with rapid gun fire and whistle blowing to signify the moment soldiers in the trenches went over the top followed by a two-minute silence at 07:28. Mr Bale said the vigil was an important way to remember the war. "This overnight vigil will play a small part in passing on the memories of those who fell and fought between July 1, 1916 and November 18, 1916," he added. Mr Murphy has pledged that a UK-wide "mansion tax" would allow a future Labour government to create 1,000 new nursing posts in Scotland. He said most of the money raised would come from London and the south east. Labour MP Diane Abbott accused him of "unscrupulous" behaviour, but Mr Murphy insisted his plan was "sensible". Mr Murphy compared the plan to spend money levied on English homes on Scottish nurses with the way the oil wealth from the North Sea was shared around the UK. "It's part of pooling and sharing your resources across these islands, it's pretty sensible," he told BBC Radio 4's World at One programme, and pointed out the property tax was Labour Party policy. Labour has pledged to impose what it calls a "mansion tax" - a levy on homes worth more than £2m across the UK to fund the NHS - if leader Ed Miliband wins the general election. In his first major policy announcement, Mr Murphy said he would use Scotland's share of the money, allocated under the Barnett formula, to pay for extra nursing staff, if Labour wins May's UK General Election and then the Scottish Labour Party wins the Holyrood election in 2016. But Ms Abbott, the Labour MP for Hackney who hopes to run for London mayor, told the World at One she was very surprised that Mr Murphy was "making these boasts". With phrases like "fiscally vindictive" and "highly unscrupulous" being hurled around, it's clear that a political row is playing out which is as bitter as it is old. It is being contested on familiar turf: does the rest of the UK, and particularly wealthy London, subsidise Scotland? The front pages of the London editions of The Times and The Daily Telegraph both concentrate on a "pledge" from the Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy, made as he kicked off his campaign for the general election. "Mansion tax to fund nursing in Scotland" is The Times' headline. "Labour tax on 'wealthy English' to fund nurses in Scotland" is the Telegraph's take. Believe it or not, those headlines will suit Mr Murphy. The new leader of the Scottish Labour Party has a tough task. Read more from James "Jim Murphy is saying that he's going to be recruiting nurses from day one on the basis of this mansion tax. You can't recruit people on the basis that money that hasn't even been raised yet," she said. She added: "Jim Murphy is jumping the gun in a highly unscrupulous way." While supporting the mansion tax "in principle", Ms Abbott said a lot of discussion was needed as to how to implement it fairly, warning it amounted to a "tax on Londoners". She said the policy would affect people who bought homes many years ago which have since increased substantially in value, while the wealthy would try to "evade" the tax. "That's all got to be thought through - Jim Murphy isn't waiting for that. He just thinks he can buy Scottish votes with money expropriated from London," she said. Mr Murphy - who Ms Abbott mistakenly called 'John' at the start of the interview - hit back by saying he did not have to consult Ms Abbott or clear things with Labour leader Ed Miliband over what he does in the Scottish Labour Party. "When it comes to issues that are devolved - so health and education in Scotland - I am in charge. I am the leader of the Scottish Labour Party." Reserved issued such as foreign affairs and welfare, he added , were the responsibility of the Labour leader, who he said he looked forward to campaigning alongside for a Labour victory at the general election. Ms Abbott, he suggested, should get behind Labour Policy "rather than either forgetting my name or attacking my approach to what I do in Scotland". Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps said Mr Murphy's comments showed "once again that Ed Miliband simply does not command the respect of his party". A Labour spokesman said the "overwhelming majority" of money raised would be spent in England, "but as with any UK-wide tax, Scotland will receive a share of the proceeds under the Barnett formula". "It is up to the Scottish Government how to spend this revenue," they added. Scottish National Party MP Angus Robertson said: "Fickle attempts to win back trust by playing an arbitrary numbers game with nursing staff and proposing oil funds that Labour should have supported decades ago are wide off the mark - and people will see straight through them." The policy announcement, made by Mr Murphy on Monday, has also faced criticism from some other London-based politicians. Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, described the plan as "fiscally vindictive" to the south east of England and amounted to trying to "bribe the Scots to vote Labour", while Labour's Dame Tessa Jowell said London should not be treated as a "cash cow". It had been assumed that "fossil" reserves found hundreds of metres underground would be largely untouched by modern water sources. But sampling from some 10,000 wells shows this not to be the case. The new study reveals that about half of the deep groundwater has had contact with rains and snows that fell in the past 60 years. And that means these ancient aquifers are also at some risk from pollution if waste and land management practices are defective. It is an issue of significance because fossil waters are an important resource, providing drinking supplies and irrigation for billions of people across the globe. The scientists presented their findings here in Vienna at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly. They have also published a report in the journal Nature Geoscience. The team tested the deep waters for the presence of two radioactive elements. The first was carbon-14 which occurs naturally in the environment and is pulled out of the air by rain and snow. This precipitation will eventually percolate into deep soil pore-spaces and rock fractures. Because carbon-14 decays relatively slowly, a very low count in water will indicate great antiquity. Scientists will use the term fossil in this context to mean water that last touched the atmosphere more than about 10,000 years ago. The second radioisotope to be checked was tritium, a heavy form of hydrogen which, in contrast, decays very rapidly. It was put in the atmosphere by A-bomb tests in the 1950s/1960s, so its presence is a sign of water's youth. "What we've learnt from these two radioisotopes is two things," explained team-member Jim Kirchner from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. "One is that more than half of groundwater under our feet is fossil groundwater. The second important finding is that of this fossil groundwater, the water that comes out of those wells also contains a component of modern groundwater in at least half of cases. "That means the water we are pumping from these deep wells, from what we think are ancient aquifers, also can potentially contain modern contaminants, either because of mixing within the well itself as the water is brought up, or because of mixing within the aquifer," he told BBC News. The study's lead author, Scott Jasechko of the University of Calgary, Canada, added: "We're using the analogy of grandkids visiting their grandparents. "Imagine fossil groundwaters are the grandparents and that younger groundwaters are the grandkids. "We're finding that groundwater grandkids often visit groundwater grandparents deep underground, and, unfortunately, sometimes these grandkids have the flu. "These young groundwaters may carry contaminants down with them, impacting deep groundwater once considered immune to modern contamination." The scientists say the issue of pollution also now needs to be considered alongside the oft-discussed concern over the sustainable use of groundwater. The deeply buried ancient water is what it is because of the time taken to build up, and hydrologists have long warned that it should really be viewed as a kind of "credit card", to be drawn on principally only in periods of major water stress, such as during a severe drought. This case will continue to be made, but the new study now adds in the extra matter of contamination risk.

City beat Sunderland 2-0 on Sunday to move within eight points of the Blues, who visit West Ham on Monday. Guardiola's side currently sit third in the table, but can move above second-placed Tottenham if they win their game in hand at Stoke on Wednesday. "It's a pity that the distance between Chelsea is so big," said Guardiola. "But that's true. We are there behind, of course, Chelsea because they are almost unstoppable." The Premier League is one of three competitions Guardiola's side are still in with a chance of winning. City face Middlesbrough in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday and Monaco in the Champions League last-16 second-leg the following Wednesday. "I feel we are playing quite well and that's why we are getting results," added the Spaniard, 46. "But now, of course, we are in a position when you arrive in March and April, every game if you win, you stay; if you lose, you are out. "In the Premier League, in the cup, in the Champions League. The players know, we know, the club knows, if we are not able to win the next game we will be out." Media playback is not supported on this device "I would watch the tailor," she says. "I would tell myself that one day I would love to design and make kaftans like him - but even better." As a woman it was not easy starting up her own business in Morocco. The only daughter of a conservative family, she was not allowed to study abroad, but she was permitted to study fashion in the capital, Rabat. After Ilham graduated, she started to make kaftans for her family in a spare room in their home in the Sale working class suburb outside the capital. But soon she was catering for more than just her family and as the business expanded she moved downstairs to the basement. "It grew through word of mouth, more and more people wanted kaftans from me," she says. Now aged 33, she has at least 10 women working for her and the kaftans sell for an average of €300 (£250) each, although, depending on the quality of the material and the time spent on making it, prices can run to thousands of euros. In a country where a good middle-class family income is about €500, Ilham makes an above-average salary. The kaftan industry is rooted in tradition. It is a dress for women that dates back to at least the 16th Century. But it is evolving - "just like Moroccan women", says Ilham. With modern cuts, which some families may still frown upon, Ilham designs kaftans that mix European and Western influences. They are part of the booming Moroccan textile sector, which accounts for 30% of the country's industrial employment and 15% of its exports. Now that kaftans are moving from the domestic into the international market, their success is pulling women into the workforce. It is a good way to earn a respectable income, given the fact that a third of women in the country are unemployed. "For women's independence these days, it's a lot easier compared with when I was growing up," says Ilham. "I wanted to work and fashion has always been a passion of mine, so I was going to still follow my passion no matter what my circumstances were." In Marrakech, Morocco's tourist capital, 32-year-old Wafaa Redwani and her younger sister Sana have been running their own kaftan business for seven years with their Vallasco Gallery brand. It is an haute couture boutique. Sana is the fashion designer and Wafaa manages the business. The kaftans here range in price from €200 to about €2,000. The business has been so successful they have opened up in Taroudant in the south of the country. The kaftans have been modelled in Africa Fashion Week in New York and are exported to Portugal. Wafaa says the designs have a more Western cut with a "Moroccan touch", which explains why they are becoming more successful internationally. The success of women like Ilham, Wafaa and Sana, demonstrates that Moroccan women are becoming more financially independent. The president of the Democratic League for Women's Rights, Fouzia Assouli, is optimistic about women's opportunities in business, but says there is still a lot to be done. "I think that there is a big emphasis on women entrepreneurship these days in the country," says Fouzia. "I believe it's thanks to Miriem Bensalah Chaqroun, who is president of the CGEM [business lobby group] and is one of the most influential businesswomen in Morocco and in Africa." Fouzia believes that since Chaqroun was appointed it has opened doors for Moroccan women in the business sector. But she says there is more of an awareness of women's rights among the elite than among the poor, who are are still lagging behind. However, she says the illiteracy rate of women in the countryside has fallen from 90% a few years ago, thanks to associations which help poor women to read and write and help them work. Many of these vulnerable women are now collaborating with businesswomen like Ilham, Wafaa and Sana to help make kaftans - work which can sometimes take months to complete. For Wafaa, the kaftan industry is a symbol of the Moroccan woman of today. "Our kaftans are like us. We are caught between the East and the West just like the designs, but we still have our Moroccan identity and we will still fight to move forward." But trick-or-treating will become a "Halloween horror" for children unless parents take steps to protect their teeth, warn dentists. The Royal College of Surgeons has issued tips to ensure rotten smiles are just for Halloween. Prof Nigel Hunt said: "We don't want to spoil the fun." But the dean of the faculty of dental surgery said the state of children's teeth was a "national scandal" and added: "We want to help parents make sensible decisions about letting their children eat sweets at Halloween and all year round." His tips include: Prof Hunt said: "Celebrating Halloween by trick-or-treating has become very popular in the UK in recent years. "As a parent myself, I know the delight children take in donning fancy dress and visiting the neighbours to collect as many sweet treats as they can carry. "Unfortunately, those sweet treats can be a Halloween horror for kids' teeth, sugar is one of the biggest culprits for nasty tooth decay." Children under the age of 10 have more than 179,000 teeth extracted each year and around a quarter of three-to-five year olds have tooth decay. German second seed Kerber saw off Shuai Peng 7-6 (7-3) 6-3, while Kvitova beat fellow Czech Lucie Safarova 6-3 6-2. Britain's Tara Moore was one set all against Tamira Paszek, with compatriot Naomi Broady leading Daria Gavrilova 6-4 2-4, when rain intervened. In Mallorca, French Open winner Garbine Muguruza lost in the first round. The Spaniard was the top seed at the event which is making its debut on the calendar this year, but lost 6-3 6-4 to Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens in her first match since beating Serena Williams in the Roland Garros final on 4 June. The weather in Birmingham prevented British number one Johanna Konta playing her first-round meeting with Japan's Misaki Doi. Their match is third on court in Wednesday's order of play. British number three Broady will play Kerber in the second round if she overcomes Australian Gavrilova. Moore, who reached the final of the Nottingham event last week, would face American seventh seed Madison Keys next. Edward Delaney told the inquiry into child abuse a Christian Brother had regularly beaten him with a strap, to which a hacksaw blade had been fixed. He was among thousands of children sent to Australia in the post-war period under UK government-approved schemes. Mr Delaney said it was "kidnapping". The first phase of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in England and Wales is looking at the way organisations have protected children outside the UK. Mr Delaney was housed at the Bindoon Boys Town orphanage, in Western Australia. It was run by the Christian Brothers order, with residents forced to construct outbuildings. In the post-war years, British children were recruited by religious institutions from both the Anglican and Catholic churches, or charities, including Barnardo's and the Fairbridge Society, with the aim of reducing pressure on UK orphanages and increasing the population of Commonwealth countries. How will the inquiry work? Mr Delaney, who is now in his late 60s, said: "It's not deportation, it's not sending me to another country to uphold the British flag or whatever. "I was taken from my mother, which is a very serious offence - I accuse the British government of kidnapping." He managed to overcome his upbringing to build a successful career as an investment broker. But he told the inquiry he was still severely affected by the psychological damage of his childhood. The canings left him unable to sit for two weeks at a time and beatings on his hands resulted in him being told later, aged 21, that he had broken fingers. But he said after making the threat to the brother who beat him - "the most vicious man I have ever met in my entire life, even by today's standards" - he was left alone. At one point Mr Delaney collapsed with rheumatic fever and spent nearly a year in hospital without being visited. "We were nobody's - who cared about us anyway?" he said. He added that he had been raped regularly for 18 months by another brother during his time at Bindoon. "Every Christian Brother had a pet - I didn't understand what that meant at the time but I do now," he said. Mr Delaney said attempts to report, during confession, what had been happening achieved no results. He recalls being told "Say three Hail Marys and you would be forgiven". He told the inquiry: "I just wondered why I have to be forgiven - I had done nothing wrong." The inquiry is currently hearing two weeks of evidence from people sent abroad as children. In total it is conducting 13 investigations over the next five years into claims made against local authorities, religious organisations, the armed forces and public and private institutions. Jo'burger in Rathmines has been warned by the Irish Health Service Executive (HSE) to serve only well-done burgers or prove they can serve undercooked meat without the risk of contamination like E.coli. The restaurant received a written warning in January that serving rare or medium rare burgers could prove a risk to public health. Restaurant owner Joe Macken said rare and medium rare burgers had been pulled from the menu, although he, personally, believed it was an issue about consumer choice. Mr Macken said he had been warned when the restaurant opened about three years ago. As a result, he put a disclaimer on his menu, telling customers: "We will serve your burger as you request it, rare to well-done. "Rare and medium-rare burgers are undercooked. Note: eating of undercooked or raw meat may lead to food borne illness." He said an average of one in four burgers served in his city restaurant was ordered rare or medium-rare. His argument is that he has faith in the abattoir that supplies him. They deliver the meat vacuum packed and the last thing they want is an E.coli outbreak, he said. Mr Macken said he had now referred the HSE's written warning to a barrister. "We are complying with the order but we have referred it," he said. Abdul Hadi Arwani, 48, was found shot dead in his car on 7 April in Wembley. He was believed to be a critic of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad. Khalid Rashad, 61, of Wembley, was also charged with possession of ammunition for a firearm. He is due to appear at Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court on Saturday. Mr Rashad has been remanded in custody. No further action will be taken against a 53-year-old woman, arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism. A 36-year-old man, arrested on 17 April, on suspicion of conspiracy to murder was bailed on 19 April to a date in early May. On 7 April, a 36-year-old man charged with Mr Arwani's murder was remanded in custody, to re-appear in court on 28 April. George Cheese, 18, had been employed at the German company's Reading garage for six months when he was found hanged on 9 April 2015. The "horseplay", which also included being hosed down and put in a car boot, contributed to his depression, said Coroner Peter Bedford. He recorded a narrative verdict. Mr Bedford said Mr Cheese had also been affected by a relationship breakdown and medical discharge from the Army. Reading Coroner's Court heard on Thursday that his body was found in woodland near his home in Woodley, Berkshire. He had been prescribed medication for depression, which he had not been taking, "brought on by a series of life events", Mr Bedford said. He also wrongly believed he had a serious illness and had researched cancer symptoms online. The inquest heard that after leaving the Army due to fracturing both of his legs in 2014, Mr Cheese was happy at securing his "dream job" at Audi. However, his parents Keith and Purdy Cheese told the inquest their son had come home with minor burns after his trousers were doused with flammable brake fluid and ignited. He had also said he was placed in a bin, locked in a cage, put in a car boot, hosed down with water and given "dead legs" by colleagues during separate incidents. His manager Terry Kindeleit said the "physical incidents", some of which he described as "horseplay", stopped after he warned staff. The court heard that Mr Cheese had referred to the behaviour as "banter" that "sometimes goes too far". Mr Cheese's family asked for neglect from Audi to form part of the coroner's conclusion but Mr Bedford said the legal requirement for this had not been met. He said, however, that Mr Cheese's death had been a "wake-up call" for Audi and was in "no doubt" that action had been taken to prevent the same thing happening again. Thames Valley Police said the incidents at Audi had been investigated and there was insufficient evidence for prosecution. The AA's index of the cheapest deals on the market showed that the cost of annual comprehensive car insurance rose by 5.2% in the three months to the end of June. Drivers aged 23 to 29 have seen a 6.2% rise over the same period, the biggest increase of any age group. They typically paid a premium of £683. "Insurers have been releasing their reserves to maintain their competitive edge to the point where this is no longer sustainable - and we are seeing premiums beginning to rise once more," said Janet Connor, managing director of AA Insurance. "The days of cheap car insurance premiums are over - price rises are inevitable." A quote for a typical comprehensive motor insurance policy for all age groups has risen to £549. The AA estimates that the rise in insurance premium tax, announced by Chancellor George Osborne in the Budget, will add £18 to the cost of the average comprehensive car insurance policy. The insurer also reported a 1.3% rise in the index of cheapest home and contents insurance premiums, the first increase since 2012. The average premium for a contents policy has hit £61.18 with the typical buildings premium up to £108.15. The anxious process will have seen teenagers visiting university open days and worrying about personal statements on their application forms. For some of the most competitive courses there are also interviews. Oxford, keen to demystify its admissions process, has published the type of questions students might face. "Interviews will be an entirely new experience for most students, and we know many prospective applicants are already worried about being in an unfamiliar place and being questioned by people they have not met," says director of admissions Samina Khan. In an attempt to make it less intimidating the university has produced a video explaining how the interview works. And it has published some sample questions - and suggestions for how students might have answered. This was a question for a French course. Interviewer Helen Swift, from St Hilda's College, said: "This is the sort of question that could emerge from a student's personal statement, where, in speaking about their engagement with literature and culture of the language they want to study, they state a keen interest in works (such as a novel, play or film) that are "political". "We might start off by discussing the specific work that they cite (something that isn't included in their A-level syllabus), so they have chance to start off on something concrete and familiar, asking, for instance, "in what ways?", "why?", "why might someone not enjoy it for the same reason?". "We'd then look to test the extent of their intellectual curiosity and capacities for critical engagement by broadening the questioning out to be more conceptually orientated and invite them to make comparisons between things that they've read/seen (in whatever language). "So, in posing the overall question, 'What makes this political?' we'd want the candidate to start thinking about what one means in applying the label: what aspects of a work does it evoke? Is it a judgement about content or style? Could it be seen in and of itself a value judgement? How useful is it as a label? "What if we said that all art is, in fact, political? What about cases where an author denies that their work is political, but critics assert that it is - is it purely a question of subjective interpretation? "A strong candidate would show ready willingness and very good ability to engage and develop their ideas in conversation. It would be perfectly fine for someone to change their mind in the course of the discussion or come up with a thought that contradicted something they'd said before - we want people to think flexibly and be willing to consider different perspectives... "Undoubtedly, the candidate would need to take a moment to think in the middle of all that - we expect that "ermmm", "ah", "oh", "well" will feature in someone's responses!" This was a question for medicine. Interviewer Chris Norbury, from Queen's College, said: "This is a typically open question, with no single 'correct' answer, which aims to stimulate the sort of discussion that might be encountered in a tutorial teaching session. "The discussion could take any one of a number of directions, according to the candidate's interests. Some candidates will ask useful clarifying questions, such as, 'Where do these data come from, and how reliable are they?' or "What is the average life expectancy in these parts of the world?" "Some candidates will seize on the idea that various aspects of the typical lifestyle in the UK are inherently unhealthy, which can make for an interesting discussion in itself. Others, especially if they appreciate that life expectancy in the Philippines is substantially lower than in the UK, will realise that other causes of death are more common in the developing world, and that this is the major factor that gives rise to the difference alluded to in the question. "This probes selection criteria including problem-solving, critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, communication skills, ability to listen and compatibility with the tutorial format." This was a question for philosophy, politics and economics, and interviewer Ian Phillips, from St Anne's College, said: "Questions like this help draw out a candidate's ability to think carefully and precisely about a familiar concept, evaluating proposals, coming up with counter-examples, disentangling considerations, and being creative in proposing alternative approaches. "Obviously the notion of blame is an important one in moral theory but insofar as blame is an emotional attitude it also brings in issues in the philosophy of mind. Debates about the nature of blame are going on right now in philosophy so the question is also partly a prompt for doing some philosophy together - which is exactly what we hope to achieve in a tutorial. "With a question like this we're not looking for a right answer but instead whether the candidate can be creative in coming up with examples and suggestions, and can think critically and carefully through their implications... "Good interviews will often generate all kinds of interesting and revealing discussions that show a candidate's ability for analytical thought: for example about self-blame, cases of blame where the blamer knew the blamed had done nothing wrong, and indeed cases of blaming something inanimate (such as a faulty printer or phone)." This was a question for maths and interviewer Rebecca Cotton-Barratt, from Christ Church, said: "This question tests whether you can do what mathematicians do, which is to abstract away all the unimportant information and use mathematics to represent what's going on. "I'd initially ask the candidate what shape they think will be formed, and then ask them how they can test this hypothesis. They might initially try sketching the ladder at different stages - this is fine, but ultimately what we want is something that we can generalise and that is accurate (you can't be sure that your drawing is that accurate, particularly when you're making a sketch on a whiteboard and don't have a ruler). "So eventually they will fall back on maths, and try to model the situation using equations. If they get stuck we would ask them what shape the ladder makes with the wall and floor, and they'll eventually spot that at each stage the ladder is forming a right-angled triangle. "Some might then immediately leap to Pythagoras' Theorem and use that to find the answer (which is that it forms a quarter circle centred on the point where the floor meets the wall)." This was a question for experimental psychology. Interviewer Kate Watkins of St Anne's College said: "This is a question that really asks students to think about lots of different aspects of psychology, and we guide students when discussing it to think about both scientific factors such as maternal age (mothers are older when younger siblings are born - could that play a role?) and observational analysis about how birth order might affect behaviour and therefore performance on IQ tests. "It's a great question because students begin from the point they are most comfortable with, and we gradually add more information to see how they respond: for example, noting that for example the pattern holds true even taking into account things like maternal age. "This can lead them to think about what the dynamics of being an older sibling might be that produce such an effect - they might suggest that having more undivided parental attention in the years before a sibling comes along makes a difference, for example. "Then we introduce the further proviso that the effect isn't observable in only children - there is something particular to being an older sibling that produces it. Eventually most students arrive at the conclusion that being an older sibling and having to teach a younger sibling certain skills and types of knowledge benefits their own cognitive skills (learning things twice, in effect). "But there isn't really a "right" answer and we are always interested to hear new explanations that we haven't heard before." Media playback is not supported on this device Gloucester's Moriarty is set to be the direct opponent to Northampton's Picamoles. "We know if we can stop him on the front foot then we have got a good chance," said Moriarty. "He is a huge man, a very experienced player. Hopefully we can do a job on him." Moriarty added: "I have played against him when he has played for Northampton and he is a huge player for France. "He is very similar to Nathan Hughes for England, one of their main ball-carriers." Moriarty has earned praise for his displays during Wales' rollercoaster Six Nations campaign. They have beaten Italy, then lost to England and Scotland, before redeeming themselves with victory over Ireland on Friday. A win against France could see Wales finish second behind England if the already crowned champions beat Ireland in Dublin later in the day. Scotland could also finish second as they bid farewell to coach Vern Cotter against Italy in Edinburgh at lunchtime. Moriarty says the incentive of finishing second to Eddie Jones' side means Wales will go to Paris feeling the game is "definitely not" a dead rubber. He added: "France have got everything to play for in their own back yard and we have got everything to play for. "If results go our way we could still come second in the championship; it is a big game." The proposed deal to take over Helsinki-listed Metso Corporation is reported to be worth more than £3.3bn. The Finnish engineering firm said talks had not yet started with the Glasgow-based group but it was considering the proposal. Both companies produce industrial pumps and valves for global oil, gas and mining operations. They confirmed the merger move following a report in the Times newspaper. In a statement, Weir said: "The Weir Group Plc notes the recent press speculation concerning a possible transaction involving Weir and Metso Corporation and the subsequent statement from Metso. "Weir confirms that it has made an indicative all share merger proposal to the board of Metso." It added: "The board of Weir believes that there is a strong strategic rationale for bringing the two companies together which would offer the opportunity for significant efficiencies and synergies, creating significant value for all shareholders. "Weir envisages that the merged entity would be listed on both the London and Helsinki Stock Exchanges. "Weir will make a further announcement as appropriate in due course." Metso said it had recently received an unsolicited approach by Weir "with a proposal for commencing discussions concerning a potential combination of the two companies". It added: "Metso occasionally receives these types of proposals and, in case the board of directors of Metso considers them serious, evaluates such proposals. "Contrary to market rumours, Metso is currently not and has not been engaged in discussions with Weir although it is in the process of considering Weir's proposal." One obstacle to the merger is the opposition of Finnish state investment fund, Solidium, which owns 11% of Metso. It has rejected a takeover, saying Metso had a bright future as an independent company. Solidium managing director, Kari Jarvinen, said: "I don't think this is the right time to sell Metso to Weir Group, or to sell it to anyone".

Figures from Dyfed-Powys Police show that 65,543 drivers were caught speeding by mobile cameras between April 2010 and March 2014. The A483 at Llanwrtyd Wells was the worst road for the offence, with 890 motorists caught driving too fast. A GoSafe spokeswoman said: "There is a simple message - cameras are in place to save lives." Over the four-year period, the highest number of drivers - 18,958 - were caught between April 2010 and March 2011. In 2013/14, 17,246 drivers were caught. The 64-year-old woman has been named locally as Teresa McDonagh. It is believed she died after being attacked by two Bullmastiff dogs at a family member's home on Sunday afternoon. Emergency services were called to the scene but the woman was pronounced dead after efforts to resuscitate her failed. Irish national broadcaster RTÉ reports that nobody was home when the victim arrived at the property at lunchtime. Emergency services were only alerted after the occupants returned to the home at 15:00 local time and discovered Mrs McDonagh. Her body has been taken to University Hospital Galway, where a post-mortem examination will take place. Bullmastiffs are listed in Ireland's 1998 Control of Dogs Act, which means they must be securely muzzled in public, but there are no restrictions on them on private property. The dogs involved in the attack were later put down. General Dynamics in Oakdale will create a next-generation communications system for the Ministry of Defence (MoD). It will improve visual information and allow it to be shared more widely by the military. General Dynamics UK's chief operating officer, Steve Rowbotham, said it was "fantastic for the site here in Oakdale". It will be used in General Dynamics' new fleet of AJAX armoured vehicles which are being assembled and tested in Merthyr Tydfil. This new system will link up vehicles on the ground with headquarters and pass information to RAF pilots. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the contract "underlines the importance of Wales to our armed forces". He said the commitment followed the MoD spending £870m with Welsh businesses last year. The defence industry already employs about 5,000 people in Wales, mostly in highly-skilled, highly-paid jobs. The contract for EvO is the first phase in the MoD's new Morpheus programme and marks a change in approach to awarding major contracts by the UK government. Some previous deals have been criticised for being late and going over budget. This new approach allows different companies to bid for different stages of the programme, building on what has been developed by other businesses. This could mean the military is less heavily dependent on one company delivering a large project on time and on budget. It is a significant shift in how businesses in the defence industry operate though, having to work collaboratively and giving control over some of their intellectual property to the UK government. The test for this new approach will be whether it provides the taxpayer with better value for money while ensuring the armed forces have the equipment they need at the time they need it. Numbers hit 4,210 and are still rising following the closure of the Calais Jungle camp, says the Association of Directors of Children's Services. Almost 300 arrived in the last two weeks of October alone, says the ADCS. But a national shortage of foster carers means councils are struggling to care for the children, says the report. Information from more than 100 local authorities revealed that more than a third of the children were suffering psychological symptoms like post-traumatic stress disorder, flashbacks and depression. Many have complex health problems and none has any kind of vaccination history. Costs to local authorities for every 100 unaccompanied children are estimated at £6.75m a year, with the Home Office providing £3.35m, leaving a shortfall of £3.4m, says the report. And 76% of the councils that responded said they were struggling to find foster placements for the children. An extra 7,600 foster carers are already needed in England, according to a Fostering Network report from earlier this year, and ADCS president Dave Hill fears the pressure can only worsen. "This figure is now much greater as we prepare for the arrival of more unaccompanied children and young people in the coming weeks. "This crisis is driving up the usage of independent fostering agencies out of necessity and this in turn is driving up costs and draining already stretched council budgets," said Mr Hill. The report says that the market for foster carers is becoming "febrile" as local authorities compete for placements. "Now more than ever there needs to be a concerted effort from central and local government working together to increase the number of affordable short and long term foster placements," say the authors. Government plans to bring 3,000 refugees, mostly vulnerable children at risk, from the Middle East and Africa to the UK as well as 20,000 Syrian refugee families could place councils under even more pressure, says the report. And it is "not possible to forecast the number of children who will continue to arrive through clandestine routes and the 'lorry stop lottery'," it adds. So far, a small number of "port" authorities have carried a disproportionate burden, say the authors. Since July, a dispersal scheme has meant other local authorities have begun to take a share of the children. The ADCS estimates that if each authority took in 0.07% of its child population that would equate to 8,114 unaccompanied asylum-seeking children - but the association says it is not clear when that "ceiling" will be met. Most of the children come from conflict zones like Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq and Syria; 76% are aged 16 and 17 and more than 90% are male, says the report. David Simmonds, chairman of the Local Government Association's Asylum Migration and Refugee Task Group, said the report "highlights the significant financial commitment that councils make towards the care of these vulnerable children, with Home Office funding often covering only a small part of the overall cost". It was now "imperative" that councils had a long-term funding arrangement from government, he added. A government spokeswoman said there was no evidence of a national shortage of foster carers, "but we always want to encourage more people to take on [the] role". The spokeswoman said many people had come forward following recent media coverage of children caught up in the migration crisis, offering to foster child asylum seekers or refugees. "The recently announced safeguarding strategy for unaccompanied and asylum-seeking and refugee children will set out plans to increase the number of foster carers, and bolster supported lodging provision. "We are grateful for the ongoing support of local authorities who care for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and have substantially increased the amount of funding we provide them." Those behind City of Trees hopes the effort will not only green the region but improve our understanding of the benefits trees provide to society. These include reducing stress, improve air quality and the amount of time shoppers spend in retail areas. The project is also testing how trees can reduce flooding in built-up areas. City of Trees director Tony Hothersall explained that the scheme had three main objectives. "One is to plant three million trees, ie. a tree for every man woman and child, over the next 25 years," he said. "Next, we are very much focused on bringing existing woodland into management because there is no point in planting new woodland if you can't manage what you've got already. "Finally, we want to engage people a lot more in their natural environment; in planting trees; in managing areas; in understanding more about the benefits that trees and woodlands bring to our society." Mr Hothersall explained that the team planned to plant the trees all over the Greater Manchester area. "We are working with partners and landowners to identify parcels of land for tree planting," he explained. "It could be extending existing woodland and building up the biodiversity. It could be linking woodlands which also is very important for biodiversity. It could also be [planting] totally new areas of woodland." He added that there was also a focus on street tree planting and in private gardens and parks. "It is really about planting trees wherever it's appropriate to put trees," he explained, "what is really important is it's about the right tree in the right place." He explained the essence of Manchester's City of Trees project was to raise awareness among the public and policy makers of the role that trees can play in supporting and improving urban development areas. "Greater Manchester wants to be a world-class city region. We have a lot of fantastic built development going on, but the natural environment needs to keep up with that," Mr Hothersall said. "We felt there needed to be a bit more TLC given to existing habitats, but also to... create more woodlands and natural areas. The reason for that is all the benefits trees and woodlands provide to society. "In terms of health... woodlands can do great things in terms of air pollution reduction... [and] can help to screen for noise pollution. They can also help cities and towns become more resilient to climate change both in terms of things like reducing the urban heat island effect and also reducing things like risk from surface water flooding." The City of Trees project is working with researchers from the University of Manchester in an experiment to see how trees can help reduce surface water flooding in built up areas and clean up storm water. As well as studies showing links between green spaces in urban areas and human wellbeing, there was also research highlighting a positive effect of trees in urban retail areas. Mr Hothersall said: "There has been some really good work done showing that people actually spend more in retail areas and linger longer in retail areas where there are trees. "We've seen that as quite a good example in terms of a sort of cafe culture with one of my projects in Stevenson Square in the Northern Quarter in Manchester. The introduction of trees and general improvement of the environment there have actually led to a cafe culture developing from what was one of the, I suppose, harder environments in central Manchester." Follow Mark on Twitter Father-of-four Darren Osborne, 47, was held on suspicion of attempted murder and alleged terror offences after a van hit Muslims in Finsbury Park. They had been helping a man who had collapsed. He later died but it is not clear if it was because of the attack. Met Police chief Cressida Dick and faith leaders were among hundreds who took part in a vigil on Monday night. Ms Dick said the incident was "quite clearly an attack on Muslims", and the community would now see more police, including armed officers, in the area, "particularly around religious establishments". Mr Osborne's mother, sister and nephew said in a statement: "We are massively in shock, it's unbelievable. It still hasn't really sunk in." They added that their "hearts go out to those who've been injured". Police have carried out searches at an address in the Cardiff area. Security Minister Ben Wallace said the suspect was not known to the security services, and was believed to have acted alone. The BBC understands Mr Osborne grew up in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, and has lived at more than one property in Cardiff. He is also believed to have lived in Swindon. The Metropolitan Police said he was being held on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism including murder and attempted murder. The attack took place shortly after midnight close to Muslim Welfare House on Seven Sisters Road, which is also a community centre. Police say 11 other people were injured - including nine taken to hospital and two treated at the scene. Several of the injured are believed to be seriously hurt. On Monday night, faith leaders addressed a crowd at a vigil outside the nearby Finsbury Park Mosque. After a short silence, chairman of the mosque Mohammed Kozbar told those gathered that the attack was "on our families, on our freedom, on our dignity". He said the man who died was a father of six children. The Bishop of Stepney, Rt Rev Adrian Newman, said "an attack on one faith is an attack on us all". It is the fourth terror attack in the UK in three months, after incidents in Westminster, Manchester and on London Bridge. Prime Minister Theresa May said the attack was "every bit as sickening" as the others. "It was an attack that once again targeted the ordinary and the innocent going about their daily lives - this time British Muslims as they left a mosque having broken their fast and prayed together at this sacred time of year," she said. After speaking outside Downing Street, the prime minister visited Finsbury Park Mosque, where she held talks with faith leaders. Labour leader and Islington North MP Jeremy Corbyn also visited the area, telling the BBC that "an attack on a mosque, an attack on a synagogue, an attack on a church is actually an attack on all of us". By Cherry Wilson, BBC News Locals say this is a proudly multicultural area, where the biggest rivalry is whether you support Arsenal or their north London rivals, Tottenham. Now the mood here is one of shock, as residents stand by the police cordon seeing the aftermath of yet another attack in London. Mother-of-four Nicola Senior, 43, is walking back from taking her children to school when she stops to take in the scene. She said: "I'm frightened. Is there going to be retaliation? "I am fearful for my kids. Can we go to the park? Can we go to the church? It feels like this is happening all the time." The driver of the van was detained by bystanders before police arrived. People at the scene said he had told them he wanted to kill Muslims. The imam of Muslim Welfare House said a passing police van was flagged down. Mohammed Mahmoud told reporters: "We told them the situation - there's a man, he's restrained, he mowed down a group of people with his van and there is a mob attempting to hurt him and if you don't take him then, God forbid, he might be seriously hurt. "We pushed people away from him until he was safely taken by police." Toufik Kacimi, chief executive of Muslim Welfare House, said the suspect had told those holding him "you deserve it" and was also saying "I did my bit". By BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner This incident risks playing right into the hands of those planning further attacks on vulnerable citizens in the UK. Online followers of the so-called Islamic State have been quick to seize on the Finsbury Park attack as proof of what they see as widespread hostility towards Muslims who live in the West. Inevitably, it will be used by recruiters and propagandists to incite further attacks - extremism breeds extremism. The one thing that far right anti-Muslim extremists and violent jihadists have in common is the belief that peaceful coexistence between Muslim and non-Muslim is impossible. The unified prayers and solidarity across communities that followed recent terror attacks are anathema to them. Extremists of both types want instead to divide society and will keep trying to bring this about by criminal acts of provocation such as this. Simon Hamilton said the question was how comprehensive the agreement would be and how many parties will back it. He was speaking after further talks between the main political parties and the British and Irish governments. Negotiations have been taking place over welfare reform, paramilitaries and the Troubles legacy. Mr Hamilton said he did not think at this stage "we're in any doubt that there will be an agreement". "I am hopeful - we have made progress and we continue to make progress," he said. "Yes, there are some issues that are still outstanding and we will work away at resolving those, but I am optimistic that we will get an agreement." Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers said it had been "another intensive week of negotiations" and that talks would resume at Stormont on Monday morning. "Progress has been made but some fundamental issues are still to be resolved," she said. "We remain hopeful that an agreement can be achieved." Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan said he was encouraged by the progress that had been made "across a range of issues". But he added that agreement still had to be reached in some areas. "I encourage all the parties to continue their positive engagement," he said. "With collective commitment and leadership on the part of all involved, a positive outcome can be achieved." It is understood that one of the sticking points in discussions about the legacy of the Troubles centres on the issue of national security and disclosure of information on the role played by the security forces and intelligence agencies. Earlier, Sinn Féin chairman Declan Kearney accused the two governments of blocking progress. He accused the Irish government of playing a "subservient role by aiding and abetting the primacy of these British state interests". SDLP leader Alasdair McDonnell said any deal would have to be one all of the five main parties could agree on. "This can't be an ambush," he said. "We're looking for a five-party deal with five parties and two governments signing up to a deal that's sustainable, that we're not back here next May or June." Inter-party talks began in September to resolve the current political crisis. The crisis at Stormont was triggered when police said they believed IRA members had been involved in the murder of a former IRA man. The parties have also been deadlocked over the issue of welfare reform. They had agreed on a welfare reform deal in December but Sinn Féin withdrew its support in March. Nearly 150 officers from South Wales, North Wales and Gwent forces want compensation from their old employers. Officers were forced to leave after 30 years' service under regulation A19, used by 15 forces to make savings. The Home Office said it was not talking to individual forces about A19. Spencer Mellors, 52, went to the Sou'wester Tavern pub in Glasgow on 11 September to get his dog from his ex-partner Anne Marie Dunn. He pled guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and having a stun gun disguised as a torch. In 1996, he was jailed for nine years for raping and biting a prostitute. Glasgow Sheriff Court heard how Miss Dunn and her colleague were inside the pub around 00:20 when they heard someone at the shutters. Mellors and Miss Dunn had been in a relationship for about 10 years until 2014. Procurator fiscal depute Harry Findlay said Miss Dunn went outside and saw Mellors across the road beside a Glasgow City Council van. She shouted to a council worker, Shaun Devine, that Mellors was next to his vehicle and returned to the pub. Mr Findlay said: "Mellors then shouted and swore towards the door of the pub." Mellors also shouted abuse at Mr Devine and his colleague. The council workers had said they could see something in his hand they thought was a torch but were concerned, and phoned the police. Mellors walked off and was found by police later that day, and later arrested. The following day, after getting a search warrant, police found the stun gun at Mellors' home in Glasgow's east end. Sheriff Bill Totten told him: "I am required to impose a sentence of five years in prison." He also handed Mellors a non-harrassment order meaning he cannot contact or attempt to contact Miss Dunn. The president said this would put an end to the "war on coal" and "job-killing regulations". The Energy Independence Executive Order suspends more than half a dozen measures enacted by his predecessor, and boosts fossil fuels. Business groups have praised the Trump administration's move but environmental campaigners have condemned it. Flanked by coal miners as he signed the order, the president said: "My administration is putting an end to the war on coal. "With today's executive action I am taking historic steps to lift the restrictions on American energy, to reverse government intrusion and to cancel job-killing regulations." During the campaign, he vowed to pull the US out of the Paris climate deal agreed in December 2015. President Trump takes a very different approach to the environment from Mr Obama. The former president argued that climate change was "real and cannot be ignored". Among the initiatives now rescinded is the Clean Power Plan, which required states to slash carbon emissions, to meet US commitments under the Paris accord. The regulation has been unpopular in Republican-run states, where it has been subject to legal challenges - especially from businesses that rely on burning oil, coal and gas. Last year the Supreme Court temporarily halted the plan, while the challenges are heard. The Trump administration says that scrapping the plan will put people to work and reduce America's reliance on imported fuel. It says the president will be "moving forward on energy production in the US". "The previous administration devalued workers with their policies. We can protect the environment while providing people with work." During the president's maiden visit to the Environmental Protection Agency, he signed the Energy Independence Executive Order, which cuts EPA regulations in order to support Mr Trump's plan of cutting the agency's budget by a third. He recently appointed climate change sceptic Scott Pruitt as its new head. Trump's 'control-alt-delete' on climate change policy Trump: The best thing ever for climate change? Matt McGrath, BBC environment correspondent This order signed by President Trump is both a practical and a philosophical attempt to change the US narrative on climate change. His supporters say it will create thousands of jobs in the liberated oil and gas industries. His opponents agree the new order will be a job creator - but they'll be jobs for lawyers, not in the coal fields. Front and centre is practical action on the Clean Power Plan (CPP), the Obama project to cut fossil fuels from energy production. Although it has long been tied up in the courts, the new administration will leave it to fester there while they come up with a much weaker replacement. There will also be new, less restrictive rules on methane emissions from the oil and industry and more freedom to sell coal leases from federal lands. President Trump is signalling a significant change in the widely held philosophy that CO2 is the enemy, the main driver of climate change. US environmentalists are aghast but also enraged. They will be queuing up to go to court. But in many ways that's playing into the hands of President Trump and the fossil fuel lobby. "Delay is what they want," one green source told me, "delay is winning." Read Matt's piece in full While campaigning for the presidency, Mr Trump argued that the agreement was unfair to the US. The landmark agreement commits governments to moving their economies away from fossil fuels and reducing carbon emissions to try to contain global temperature rise. Mr Trump has in the past said climate change had been "created by and for the Chinese". But at the end of last year, he acknowledged that there was "some connectivity" between human activity and climate change. It is now unclear where exactly the US stands in relation to the deal. Whatever the US chooses, the EU, India and China say they will stick to their pledges made in Paris. The president's order will be resisted by environmentalists, who have promised to challenge it in the courts. "These actions are an assault on American values and they endanger the health, safety and prosperity of every American," billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer was quoted by Reuters as saying. "I think it is a climate destruction plan in place of a climate action plan," the Natural Resources Defense Council's David Doniger told the BBC, adding that they will fight the president in court. Another green group, Earthjustice, said it would challenge the measure in and out of court. "This order ignores the law and scientific reality," its President Trip Van Noppen said. World v Trump on global climate deal? Trump team moving away from supporters on climate science Tara McKelvey, BBC White House reporter Yes - at least according to a senior aide. When asked whether the president believes in man-made climate change, the aide said "sure", adopting a matter-of-fact tone. This marks a shift. In 2015 the president said that climate change was a "hoax". By November 2016, the president had softened his position on the matter, saying he saw "some connectivity" between man and climate change. Now the president has gone further - at least, according to his aide. The president, a one-time climate-change denier, now believes, that climate change is real - and that humans are behind it. The Republican presidential nominee weighed in on the San Francisco 49er's decision to sit during The Star-Spangled Banner in a pre-game ceremony. Mr Kaepernick said he will continue to sit out the national anthem until he sees improvements in US race relations. Mr Trump called the quarterback's controversial stand a "terrible thing." "I think it's a terrible thing, and you know, maybe he should find a country that works better for him," Mr Trump told KIRO radio in Seattle. "Let him try. It won't happen." Mr Kaepernick, 28, stirred controversy on Friday when he sat during the national anthem before the San Francisco 49ers played the Green Bay Packers in an exhibition game. The National Football League (NFL) player refused to stand in protest at the oppression of people of colour in the US, he said. Racial tensions are mounting in the US, where a string of recent police killings and subsequent revenge killings have sparked protests across the nation. But his actions have ignited a debate about respect, patriotism and the right of free speech. The response of Senior Airman Brian Kolfage, who lost three limbs in Iraq in 2004, has been shared more than 30,000 times on Facebook. "Next time I hear the national anthem I'll be sure to stand for the both us since you feel that you've been oppressed. We live in America, the land where no one is truly oppressed in the grand scheme of things. If you want to see the real meaning of oppressed I suggest you enlist in the military and travel abroad to the Middle East where you will witness what oppression is. Where women are beaten and killed in honour if they are raped, where 6-year-old little girls are forced to marry men in their 60s, that's just a little taste of what oppression is." What should you do during the US anthem? Basketball legend, actor and writer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wrote in the Washington Post that the NFL player deserved plaudits for his patriotism. "What should horrify Americans is not Kaepernick's choice to remain seated during the national anthem, but that nearly 50 years after [Muhammad] Ali was banned from boxing for his stance and Tommie Smith and John Carlos's raised fists caused public ostracisation and numerous death threats, we still need to call attention to the same racial inequities." The White House said it disagreed with Mr Kaepernick's protest but that he had a right to express his views. And the NFL world has been divided over it. Jim Brown, former Cleveland Browns running back, said: "He's within his rights and he's telling the truth as he sees it and I am with him 100 percent." But Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints quarterback, said he wholeheartedly disagreed. "He can speak out about a very important issue. But there are plenty of other ways that you can do that in a peaceful manner that doesn't involve being disrespectful to the American flag." An NFL spokesman said players were "encouraged but not required" to stand during the anthem. More than 20 raptors were discovered at various locations in March and April. Police Scotland confirmed that 16 of them - 12 red kites and four buzzards - were probably accidentally killed by pest control measures. A reward is being offered for witnesses or further information which could help with the ongoing inquiry. A criminal investigation into the deaths remains ongoing. Det Supt Colin Carey said: "Investigations into the suspicious deaths of wildlife and especially raptors can be difficult and prolonged. "The areas covered can be vast and it is seldom immediately apparent why a bird may have died. "We work closely with partners to identify and thoroughly investigate all wildlife crime." He added: "The death of the raptors in Ross-shire remains an on-going investigation during which we are endeavouring to establish all of the circumstances around this crime. "We would ask anyone who may have further information to come forward." Hundreds of cases have cropped up in the region, and Thailand has confirmed two cases of babies born with Zika-linked microcephaly. At least 19 countries and areas in the region have reported locally transmitted cases since 2007, according to the WHO. The majority - 13 - reported their cases this year. Thailand has recorded some 350 cases and Singapore nearly 400, including pregnant women. The Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia are among the countries reporting a handful of cases. The US Communicable Disease Center has advised pregnant women to consider postponing non-essential travel to most of the region, and to avoid Singapore. The Aedes mosquito, which transmits the virus, can be found across a wide swathe of South and South East Asia and northern Australia. Read more: Why Asia should worry about Zika too Zika first originated in Africa, but is believed to have been circulating in Asia since the first half of the 20th Century. Various strains have been circulating for several decades in the region. Singapore has said its outbreak was caused by a local strain, not the one which caused the huge outbreak in South America. An October 2016 WHO report said it was not clear which strain caused the two Zika-linked microcephaly cases there. The two mothers had not travelled outside Thailand. A confirmed link between the local strain of Zika and microcephaly would have a "significant impact on the global risk assessment" said the WHO, as it would show that deformation could happen with more than one strain. One reason why Zika is only now being linked to microcephaly in the region could be because tests for the link have only recently been developed. "Because the link was not previously scientifically known, and the disease [Zika] is often very mild, and testing not available, people just did not make the connection," says Prof Jesse Goodman, an infectious diseases expert from Georgetown University. There is a lack of data on this, but most experts believe there is a high level of immunity among adults, given the prevalence and long history of the disease in the region. This could mean that "the outbreaks are likely to be a lot less explosive" than in South America, says Prof Paul Tambyah, secretary-general of the Asia Pacific Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infection. But with some countries like Singapore and Malaysia seeing success with tackling Aedes mosquito numbers, which carries the virus, younger generations may have lesser immunity as they have less exposure to the disease. Read more: Zika travel advice and how to stay safe Countries have been ramping up efforts to destroy mosquito breeding grounds and raise public awareness, as well as screening travellers for Zika. Thailand also said it would test all pregnant women in the provinces where Zika had been detected, and a regional taskforce has been set up to combat the spread of the virus. Experts and the WHO have largely commended regional authorities for their quick responses so far, but there has been some criticism, particularly in Thailand, that governments are not doing enough. Prof Tambyah said authorities need to come up with more innovative ways to fight the disease. He said the region still sees relentless epidemics of dengue - a tropical disease similar to Zika and carried by the same mosquito - despite devoting "huge amounts of resources" to mosquito control. Deaths are rare and only one-in-five people infected is thought to develop symptoms. These include: A rare nervous system disorder, Guillain-Barr?? syndrome, that can cause temporary paralysis has been linked to the infection. As there is no vaccine or treatment, the only option is to reduce the risk of being bitten. Health officials advise people to: Patients are advised to rest and drink plenty of fluids. Case study: 'It's not the end of the world' The 20-year-old world number 246 has previously played in qualifying and in the girls' singles. But next month's tournament is Boulter's first time in the women's singles, having been handed a wildcard. She told BBC Radio Leicester: "I've put in all the hard work this year but I am fortunate to get a wildcard and am so thankful." Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. Boulter, who is from Woodhouse Eaves in Leicestershire, was ranked in the top 10 players in the world during her junior career and is coached by former British number one Jeremy Bates. The British number six added: "I am looking forward to playing and thankful to get the opportunity to test my skills against higher-ranked players. "Each moment I will enjoy and I will cherish it for the rest of my life. "Ultimately I am there to try to win matches. I just want to have fun and play my game and I don't doubt that I can do well." The social networking site had been criticised for activating the feature for the attack in Paris on Friday but not for the attack in Beirut the day before. Before the Paris attack, the feature was only used in natural disasters. The safety check allows people to inform their contacts they are safe. The BBC's technology reporter Dave Lee says during emergencies mobile phone networks often collapse under the stress of everyone using their phones at the same time - so this is one way to help solve that by informing possibly hundreds of friends in one go. The system was first used earlier this year during the Nepal earthquake. Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg announced the Yola Safety Check in a Facebook post but added "unfortunately, these kinds of events are all too common, so I won't post about all of them." This is the third attack this year in Yola. The suicide bomber targeted a busy vegetable market late on Tuesday as stall holders were closing up. Boko Haram militants started attacks in Nigeria in 2009 in an attempt to create an Islamic state. "A loss of human life anywhere is a tragedy, and we're committed to doing our part to help people in more of these situations," Mr Zuckerberg added. One Yola resident who used the feature, Maulud Usman, told the BBC he feels Mr Zuckerberg had taken on the previous criticism. "I was one of those that criticised him when he activated the safety check in Paris despite the fact that Boko Haram has been bombing us in north eastern Nigeria for years, killing thousands of people, yet Facebook didn't deem it fit to activate the safety check." "I'm happy he listened to our cries". His spokesman told the BBC Mr Machar was now at rebel military headquarters in the eastern town of Pagak. He is expected in the capital Juba next week to resume the post of vice-president as part of last year's deal. The deadly civil conflict erupted in 2013 after President Salva Kiir accused Mr Machar of plotting a coup. Since then thousands of people have died and more than two million have been displaced. Mr Machar's spokesman told the BBC on Tuesday that the rebel leader was in Pagak, near the border with Ethiopia. He is expected in Juba on Monday, while his deputy leader Alfred Ladu Gore is already in the capital. Last week, more than 1,300 rebel troops were flown to Juba as part of the terms of the peace deal signed in August 2015. These forces are deployed to provide security for Mr Machar, who said he would not come to take up his new position until these security measures were put into place. Peace agreements between both sides have broken down repeatedly over the years, so there is still expected to be mistrust within this new government, the BBC's Africa security correspondent Tomi Oladipo reports. But the people of South Sudan have seen enough calamity and can only hope this transitional government gets things right this time, our correspondent adds. The peace agreement was signed amid a threat of sanctions from the United Nations. Fighting was supposed to stop immediately - but there have been frequent violations. President Kiir and Mr Machar also agreed to share out ministerial positions. The agreement returns the government to where it was before the war broke out. The UN and African Union have accused both sides of carrying out atrocities - an AU-backed report in January alleged that 50 civilians had suffocated after government troops locked them in a shipping container. South Sudan is the world's youngest country and one of the least developed. It split from Sudan in 2011. Lucas, 30, was Liverpool's longest-serving player, having joined in 2007 for the same fee from Brazilian side Gremio. He played 345 games for Liverpool, including 247 in the Premier League. "Liverpool is one of the greatest clubs in the world, and my intention had always been to spend the rest of my career here," the 24-times capped Brazilian said. "But the less I have been able to play, the more I have realised that I need to go to another club if I want to play as much as I possibly can. "The easiest thing for me to do would be to stay here for as long as I can even if I do not expect to play so often, but that would go against everything that I believe in as a footballer and as a competitor. "My sadness at leaving Liverpool is accompanied by a real excitement that I will be representing one of Italy's great clubs." Lucas will be a direct replacement for Argentine midfielder Lucas Biglia, who has joined AC Milan. Lazio finished fifth in Serie A last season and will compete in the Europa League under manager Simone Inzaghi. Lucas played almost 350 games for Liverpool despite never being a regular fixture in the Reds midfield. His versatility meant he was also used as a centre-back - a position he found himself in many times during his 31 appearances last season. He was a popular player at Anfield, being named Young Player of the Year in 2010 and Fans' Player of the Year in 2011. The departures of Xabi Alonso in 2009 and Javier Mascherano in 2011 saw Lucas became an integral part of the team but he suffered a cruciate ligament injury at Stamford Bridge in December 2011, meaning he missed the rest of the season and Liverpool's League Cup final win over Cardiff. Lucas scored seven goals in his Liverpool career but just one in the Premier League - a header in the 3-0 win over Newcastle in May 2009. He played 45 minutes at centre-back alongside Joel Matip in the friendly against Tranmere Rovers on Wednesday last week but missed Friday's draw with Wigan. BBC Radio 5 Live football reporter Juliette Ferrington There was a hint at the end of last season that Lucas and Liverpool would go their separate ways - and when he was pulled from the squad on Friday for a pre-season game at Wigan it was obvious his Reds career was drawing to an end. The Brazilian survived under five different managers and it was perhaps fitting that it was Kenny Dalglish who presented Leiva with a golden '21' - his squad number - on the last day of last season to mark his 10 years at the club. It was under Dalglish's management the midfielder excelled. He refused to buckle under unforgiving pressure and worked hard to earn the respect of the crowd, answering his critics with endless effort and energy. His bond with the club and city is strong. His versatility has been crucial. But all good things come to an end and 345 appearances is testament not only to his ability but to his dedication and professionalism as well. The Radical Eye: Modernist Photography from the Sir Elton John Collection will feature an "unrivalled" selection of images from the 1920s to the 1950s. It will include more than 150 shots and include pieces from renowned artists such as Man Ray and Berenice Abbott. Sir Elton began collecting 25 years ago and now has more than 7,000 pictures. The pictures will be transported from the singer's homes around the world to London for the show in November. He said it was "a great honour" to lend part of his collection "for this groundbreaking exhibition". "The Modernist era in photography is one of the key moments within the medium and collecting work from this period has brought me great joy over the last 25 years," added Sir Elton. "Each of these photographs serves as inspiration for me in my life; they line the walls of my homes and I consider them precious gems... I hope the exhibition audience experiences as much joy in seeing the works as I have had in finding them." Other pioneering photographers in the exhibition will include Alexander Rodchenko and Edward Steichen. Some of the most eagerly awaited are portraits of major cultural figures of the time, such as the painter Georgia O'Keeffe and composer Igor Stravinsky. The collection also includes nudes, still life pictures and news stills, documenting important events, cultural movements and social conditions, such as the crisis and hardship endured during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Tate director Sir Nicholas Serota said the exhibition would be "truly unique". "There are few collections of modernist photography in the UK, so we are delighted that Sir Elton John has allowed us to draw on his incredible collection and give everyone a chance to see these iconic works," he added. "Coming face-to-face with such masterpieces of photography will be a rare and rewarding experience." Tate said The Radical Eye marked the beginning of a long-term relationship between its galleries and the singer in order to give the public the chance to share in some of the many pieces gathered by him over the years. The Radical Eye: Modernist Photography from the Sir Elton John Collection runs from 10 November to 7 May. The owner of the Thomson and First Choice brands said it was "evident that there has been a significant shift in demand away from Turkey". Instead, holidaymakers were heading to areas such as Spain and the Canaries. Despite the fall, Tui expects underlying annual profit growth of 10%. In a first-quarter update for the three months to 31 December, Tui Travel also said that demand for its hotels in Egypt had also been affected by fears of violence. In October last year, a Russian airliner exploded 20 minutes after taking off from leaving the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, killing all 224 people on board. The self-styled Islamic State group has said it was responsible for blowing up the Metrojet plane. Tui Group said it had sold 33% of its summer holidays for this year, in line with expectations. Total sales for the first quarter rose 5.4% to €3.7bn (£2.8bn) and underlying losses narrowed marginally from €105m to €102m. Shares in Tui fell 3.2% to £10.62 in early trading. The London Assembly wants to find out if the service can cope with future challenges as emergency calls continue to rise. Health and Public Services Committee chairman James Cleverly said the public needed to know it could "continue to count" on the ambulance service. The service is not accountable to London Mayor Boris Johnson unlike other emergency services. As an NHS Trust, the service is expected to undergo changes as a result of proposed reforms set out in the government's NHS White Paper, including becoming a Foundation Trust. In 2010, the London Assembly wrote to the Secretary of State for Health Andrew Lansley to suggest that as part of the reforms, London Ambulance Service could come under the governance of the mayor. The proposed reforms come at a time when it is facing a rise in demand for its services, with a 28% increase in the number of 999 calls and nearly a quarter more incidents attended since 2006. The committee will hold public meetings on 17 March and 6 April and a full report will be published in the summer. The places include the iconic sea-facing Marine Drive promenade and the popular Girgaum Chowpatty beach, both major tourist attractions. The decision was taken after an 18-year-old girl drowned in the sea while taking a selfie last week. Last year, authorities imposed a "no selfie zone" at a Hindu festival due to fears they could cause stampedes. Signs saying "no selfie zone" can be seen around the two festival sites in the city, which is the capital of Maharashtra state. Mumbai police spokesperson Dhananjay Kulkarni told the BBC that the places where taking selfies was risky included Bandra Bandstand, Sion Fort and Worli Fort, all places popular with tourists. "The police will now approach the city's municipality to prevent accidents at such spots due to people taking selfies. The municipality may deploy life guards and install warning signs," Mr Kulkarni said. The police warning follows Saturday's incident when three girls trying to take a selfie near the sea in the Bandra area fell into the water. One of them drowned and her body is yet to be recovered. A passerby, 37-year-old Ramesh Walanju, jumped in and helped save the other two girls but was washed away by the choppy waters and his body was found floating in a nearby creek on Monday, AFP said. In September a Japanese tourist died after allegedly slipping down the stairs while taking a selfie at the Taj Mahal monument in Agra. Last year, the Russian government reportedly launched a campaign to make young people think twice before snapping selfies in risky situations. In May, a 21-year-old woman survived accidentally shooting herself in the head while posing for a selfie with a gun in Moscow. There have also been several cases of children being electrocuted while taking selfies on top of railway carriages in Russia. In August, a man in Spain was gored to death by a bull while taking a selfie at the annual bull running festival in the town of Villaseca de la Sagra. Martin Lang bought what he thought was an original work by Russian-born artist Marc Chagall in 1992. Its authenticity was tested by experts for BBC One's Fake Or Fortune? and it was sent to the Chagall Committee in Paris which said that under French law, it should be destroyed. But the decision has been criticised as "extreme, inappropriate and thuggish". Philip Mould, the programme's art expert said decisions were never final and could be revisited with modern science and technology. "So it seems to me bombastic in the extreme to assume that their decision is absolutely right forever," he said. "It's anti-academic." Chagall, who died in France almost 30 years ago, was born in Belarus in 1887. Regarded as a pioneer of modernism, his work can sell for millions of pounds. The Chagall Committee is run by the artist's grandchildren to protect his reputation in the art world. Mr Lang, 63, a property developer from Leeds, has asked the committee to mark the watercolour - a nude said to date from 1909-10 - as a forgery and then return it or give him a guarantee he will be reimbursed if it is later ruled as genuine. He is still waiting for a reply. "I had no idea that anyone would take such a draconian view," he said. "They say they want to counter forgery but I think this will have the opposite effect of deterring honest people like myself from coming forward." Fake Or Fortune? host Fiona Bruce said: "A decision like this forces the owner of any painting to play a kind of Russian roulette with their precious artwork. "The only way for Martin to authenticate his painting was with the Chagall Committee, he had no other choice. "But it was never made clear to him that if they didn't like the look of his painting that they would burn it. "How can anyone ever approach this committee with a painting again if this is how they react?" Fake or Fortune? is broadcast on Sunday, 2 February, at 18:00 GMT on BBC One. It is available nationwide for seven days thereafter on the iPlayer. The blaze broke out at the property on Derwent Street, off Carholme Road, at about 03:30 GMT on Saturday. Two people escaped from the house but the body of a man, who has not been named, was found after the fire was brought under control. Lincolnshire Police said a joint investigation with the fire service had been launched into the cause of the blaze. Frank Hegarty was found shot in the back of the head in 1986. His son, Ryan, said Mr McGuinness "needs to be questioned". However, the Sinn Féin deputy first minister said he "had absolutely no role in the death of Frank Hegarty". Mr Hegarty's murder is to be investigated as part of a police inquiry into the activities of Stakeknife, who was said to have been the Army's highest agent within the IRA. Ryan Hegarty told the BBC: "In the eyes of the IRA, my father committed the ultimate crime. "In my eyes, he saved the lives of human beings. But it cost him his own life. "I have never denied that he passed on information to the security services. It's well documented what my father did. "My family has been left broken and in misery. It left utter devastation." Mr Hegarty said that he did not find out what happened to his father until he was a teenager. "It was terrible living in Derry as Frank Hegarty's son," he said. "He was known as a tout. "Whatever my father did, he paid for it. My father was a hero, but to the republicans he's a cheater. "He (Martin McGuinness) was around when things were happening. He was a regular visitor to my grandmother's house. I'm not implicating him but he was there." Mr McGuinness has always said that he advised Mr Hegarty's family that he should not meet the IRA if he was an informer In a statement, Mr McGuinness said: "At the time of these events, I was an elected Sinn Féin assembly member, having been elected to the assembly in 1982. "I became involved with the family on being told that Frank Hegarty, a well-known Derry republican, had informed them that he had been abducted and taken to England by British intelligence agents. "It was my duty as a public representative to assist the family. I did this to the best of my ability but there was little I could do. "There are questions to be answered in relation to Mr Hegarty's death by those with detailed knowledge of this event, including British intelligence." The RIFC chairman expressed his fears in an email to an associate of Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley. Somers also asked why a funding offer had been changed to a "particularly stupid alternative". Two weeks later, Ashley's £2m loan offer was accepted ahead of a loan offer from Brian Kennedy and the funding proposal made by the consortium. In the correspondence, Somers referred to a "formal proposal of a deal from Dave King and my board are clamouring for a call to discuss it and no doubt approve it. A board on which James [Easdale] and I are a minority". Somers also revealed that the consortium's proposal included board seats "which means Sandy, James [Easdale] and I will not survive on this board very much longer. Yes, you can vote them off at the next AGM but they can do a great deal of damage before then." Describing himself as "very angry", Somers also said that he was prepared to terminate Sports Direct's retail contract. The RIFC board was seeking funding to cover for a shortfall in season ticket sales. The consortium involving King wanted boardroom control in return for a £16m funding package. Kennedy was prepared to provide a £3m loan in return for security against the assets and one board place. Ashley's loan offer was also secured, and sought two board places. The long-time Ashley associate Derek Llambias, who was previously managing director of Newcastle United - the club Ashley owns outright - is now chief executive of Rangers, having been appointed as a consultant then a non-executive director in the weeks following Ashley's loan offer being accepted. David Somers responded to BBC Scotland: "The Dave King proposal started well but, as I stated, fell at the first hurdle of 'show me the money' and 'who are the eight people in your consortium'. "Sadly this proposal quickly began to look more like one designed simply to impress the media rather than a proper proposal. "The mystery to me is if Dave King really wants to support Rangers then why doesn't he buy some shares, then he can participate in rights issues? Or he could buy us a couple of players? "It was worth a try but in the end we couldn't get a sensible realistic deal from anyone at that time despite my trying to put pressure on each of them to produce something sensible, so we had to opt for one of the two loan possibilities." The Scottish Football Association has issued notices of complaint to Ashley and Rangers over potential dual interest breaches. The SFA rules do not allow individuals to hold stakes in two clubs, but the governing body made concessions when Ashley first took a stake in RIFC. He agreed to be bound to an undertaking, which including not having undue influence on the board. Rangers now need £8m in additional funding and shareholders have voted in favour of a share issue in the new year. Ashley could underwrite the issue, but needs SFA approval to raise his 8.92% stake beyond 10%. When RIFC held an open offer to existing shareholders last September, another associate of Ashley - Stephen Mucklow - was set to underwrite it. A draft RNS statement to the Stock Exchange was prepared to that effect, only for the underwriting offer to be withdrawn less than a week before the open offer. On the day of the offer, Ashley also announced that he would not participate in the fundraising, which Rangers required for working capital. The offer raised a little over £3m. Ashley subsequently spent around £400,000 acquiring Hargreave Hale's stake in RIFC. The teenager, named locally as Jordan Smith, suffered severe hand injuries in the minor blast in the village of Wiston. Police said on Friday a 19-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of an explosive-related offence. Officers have also seized "bird scaring equipment". Mr Smith was airlifted to Morriston Hospital where he was being treated for his injuries and it is feared he will lose the use of both hands. He was said to be in a stable condition in hospital. Dyfed-Powys Police said they were continuing to investigate but were not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident. Neighbours had said that Mr Smith was hoping to join the Army. He had joined last year but had not got through his training. But he had just completed an Army preparation course at Pembrokeshire College. Neighbour Bernie Jones, 67, said: "The Army is definitely his orientation - he was very keen and and hoped to be accepted." Mr Jones, who has lived in the village for 30 years, said Mr Smith had wanted to join up since he was a young boy. The explosion happened at 11:00 BST on Thursday, leading to the road through the village being closed. Mr Jones added: "There was some sort of an explosion and it looks like Jordan has suffered bad hand injuries. "Police threw a cordon up around the entire village and the bomb squad moved in." Mr Smith's family moved to Wiston six years ago from Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire. His parents Anthony and Rita Smith were directors of a cleaning company until recently. Another neighbour told how he heard the explosion. He said: "The helicopter was soon overhead and landed in a field next to the house. You don't get these sort of things happening here." Villager Fiona Morgan, 27, said: "Neighbours said there was an almighty bang and a bad smell. "There's been a lot of police and sniffer dogs. "It's a really, really sleepy and quiet village. It's very peaceful normally - just a lovely place to be." A Dyfed-Powys Police spokeswoman described his injury as "non-life threatening" and the investigation is continuing. She said: "The safety of all in the area is our priority, and the small number of residents who were evacuated have not been allowed back to their homes at this time. "Searches and enquiries are expected to continue for the majority of today. "Explosive Ordnance Disposal attended the scene to provide their specialist skills and knowledge and to ensure the safety of those at scene, but have left." Margaret Christopher, 81, of Southport, Lancashire, was part-way through a six-and-a-half hour drive to west Wales when she collided with David England's car at Lovesgrove near Aberystwyth. Swansea Crown Court heard she drove straight on at a left-hand curve. She admitted causing death by dangerous driving and was given a 14-month jail sentence, suspended for two years. Prosecutor Francis Jones told the court Christopher, then aged 80, was en route to her daughter's home in Broad Haven, Pembrokeshire, to look after her daughter's dog while she went on holiday in March 2015. She had taken two breaks already, the last one at Machynlleth - about 18 miles (29km) away - but felt she needed another one and had been looking for a layby to stop at when the collision occurred. Mr England, 67, was initially conscious and able to talk to emergency services but died at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff two days later from injuries to his heart and central nervous system. His daughter Rhian England, a passenger in the front seat, suffered fractures to her arm and leg and spent three months in a wheelchair. The court heard doctors had thought Christopher would also die in the first two days after the crash, and she had no recollection of what had happened or why. Mr Jones said other drivers thought Christopher had not even tried to take the bend and there was no sign she had braked. Both cars were in good condition, the road was well-surfaced and the weather was fine while speed was not a factor, Mr Jones said. In a victim impact statement, Mr England's widow Mair said she thought of her "soulmate" all the time. Defending, Andrew Nuttall said Christopher thought about Mr England and his family every day. "She understands very well that words give little comfort to the family. But all she can say is that she is very, very sorry," he said. "She really has no idea what happened. She has decided never to drive again." Judge Huw Davies told Christopher: "Age caught up with you in a tragic way and without warning. "You think you must have fallen asleep. There is no other explanation for what happened." He said Christopher had "taken a chance" by undertaking such a long journey at her age. Christopher was also banned from driving for two years and ordered to pass an extended driving test should she ever want her licence back. The venue beat five other buildings to win the honour - the Royal Institute of British Architects' highest accolade. Riba president Stephen Hodder called the Everyman an "exceptional new building". "It is a ground-breaking example of how to build a daring bold and highly sustainable large public building in a historic city centre," he said. The Everyman Theatre - famed for launching the careers of actors including Bill Nighy, Julie Walters and Pete Postlethwaite - first opened in 1964 in the shell of a 19th Century chapel on one of Liverpool's main streets. However over the years it fell into a state of disrepair and architects Haworth Tompkins were tasked with designing a new theatre as part of a nine-year £27m rebuilding project, retaining its theme of being a "theatre for the people". The building's facade features 105 punched aluminium panels portraying life-size images of Liverpool residents. Thousands queued to have their pictures taken, with the successful applicants having digital versions of their pictures etched onto the metal sun shades. "The success of this exceptional new building lies in the architect's close involvement with the local community throughout the project," Mr Hodder said. "Haworth Tompkins have struck the perfect balance between continuity and change to win the hearts and minds of the people of Liverpool with the vibrant new Everyman." The theatre said it was "thrilled" to win the award. "The Everyman was built with humanity at its heart," artistic director Gemma Bodinetz said. "Since we reopened, the warmth of feeling from the public to their much-loved Everyman - given a daring and brilliant rebirth - has been almost overwhelming. "Haworth Tompkins have delivered us a building that is sustainable, technically first rate and with unparalleled levels of accessibility for a theatre." Steve Tompkins of Haworth Tompkins said: "Winning the Riba Stirling Prize is an enormous honour for our project team and our clients, the reward for an intensive collaboration over almost a decade, during which we have grown to love the Everyman and the great city that it serves. "It is also an important endorsement of our studio's ethos and an encouragement to carry on working the way we do, despite the pressures all of us are under to speed up and dumb down. We couldn't be more delighted." The other shortlisted buildings included London's Shard and the Library of Birmingham - which topped the BBC News website readers' poll with 30% of about 90,000 votes. Manchester School of Art, the London Aquatics Centre and the LSE Student Centre were also nominated. Last year's winner was Astley Castle in Warwickshire, a modern holiday home inserted into the walls of an ancient castle. Several other awards were also announced on Thursday with Stormy Castle on Gower Peninsula in Wales winning the 2014 RIBA Manser Medal for the best new private home. House No 7 on Isle of Tiree in Scotland, won the Stephen Lawrence Prize for the best project with a construction budget of less than £1m. Footage of the nine men casually rolling through an intersection in Scarborough on Sunday has gone viral. While witnesses said they were amused by the spectacle, police said there were real dangers involved. They said the men could face several charges, including driving an unlicensed and unroadworthy vehicle. "Police are concerned for the safety of those riding on the tables with no protective clothing, especially when on roads alongside motor vehicles," Western Australian police said in a Facebook post. The owner of the table said an officer already spoke to the group and let them off with a warning, according to reports. "Both drivers were sober, the police asked us to push them back across the road to the beach. We complied with all requests by police on Sunday," he told 9News Perth. The tables are equipped with a motor and a lever with what appears to be a brake attached. The mechanism for steering the table is not visible in photos or videos. Several Australians have been booked drink-driving onboard similar vehicles, including motorised cooler boxes known as "Eskys", this year. In January a man on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula was fined $1,476 for riding an unlicensed ice box on the footpath. The body of PC Gordon Semple, 59, was found in a flat at the Peabody Estate, in Southwark Street, on Thursday - a week after he went missing. Stefano Brizzi, 49, appeared via videolink at Bromley Magistrates' Court. No indication of plea was given. He was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on 13 April. Mr Brizzi is charged with murdering PC Semple at his flat at some time between 1 April and 7 April. Wearing a grey prison issue tracksuit, he confirmed his name, age and address as he appeared next to a lawyer at Lewisham Police Station. During the brief hearing, bearded Mr Brizzi told the court: "I'm an Italian citizen but a UK resident." Following the hearing it emerged police are keen to speak to a man seen at Mr Brizzi's flat on 1 April - he was only there for one minute and did not go inside. Det Ch Insp Cliff Lyons, who is leading the investigation into PC Semple's death, said: "I am keen to trace a man who went to Brizzi's flat in Southwark Street on Friday, 1 April at about 15:00. "It is incredibly important that we speak to him." PC Semple, from Greenhithe, Dartford was originally from Inverness in Scotland. He had worked in banking before joining the Metropolitan Police. A post-mortem examination was carried out on 8 April but the cause of death was not determined. A further post mortem has been scheduled for Wednesday. Teams have been asked not to use the 'soft' tyre for more than 15 laps and the 'medium' for no more than 35 laps. Governing body the FIA is refusing to order the teams to follow the advice. But if any teams goes beyond the limit and hit problems they could be brought before the stewards and asked why they ran their cars in a dangerous configuration. A Pirelli spokeswoman said: "It's not as dramatic as is being made out. We send something like this to the teams after every day at a grand prix with tyre-related information and recommendations. "It's highly unlikely any of the teams would try to run the tyres beyond these limits anyway - particularly the soft tyre. "Had we brought the hard and medium tyre here, we would have had a boring one-stop race. We have been asked to produce tyres that give multiple pit stops. The sport has to make up its mind what it wants." It is the latest in a series of controversies to hit Pirelli this season that have tested the patience of teams and senior F1 figures. The company was forced to change the design of its tyres after a series of dramatic failures during the British Grand Prix. At this weekend's Indian Grand Prix, the 'soft' tyre has been suffering severe degradation after just handful of laps. The tyres are suffering blistering - when the surface overheats and bubbles - after just three or four laps, leading to a loss of pace of as much as three or four seconds a lap. One senior engineer at a top team said this was the worst blistering ever experienced with the Pirelli tyres since the company entered F1. The FIA does not want to force the teams to comply with Pirelli's limits because race director Charlie Whiting feels it is unfair to force teams whose cars have better tyre life to be reduced to the lowest common denominator. The teams all have means of measuring tyre life live during the race and feels they should be trusted to do so. Pirelli is also disagreeing with the teams over its desire to do more testing to prepare tyres for next season, when the cars and engines will be different following a major regulation change. Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery said in India this weekend: "We have to do some testing. If we cannot, then we will not be able to provide the tyres for next year." But the teams are frustrated with Pirelli because it is refusing to pay the costs for the tests it wants to do. So far, Pirelli has only offered to pay for circuit hire. Teams point out that F1 cars cost hundreds of pounds a lap to run, so a three-day test in which teams cover hundreds of laps would cost them tens of thousands of pounds or more at a time when costs in F1 are a major concern. Pirelli has been told if it wants to do extra testing they must pay the entire costs of the teams involved. Gilligan was part of the consortium led by Dave King that took control of the Ibrox club in March 2015. "John has taken the decision to step down knowing that much of what was required post regime change has already been achieved," said King. "He is a true Rangers fan." With Rangers third in the Scottish Championship at the time, King, Gilligan and Paul Murray ousted from the board previous directors Derek Llambias and Barry Leach, with chairman David Somers and James Easdale having already resigned. With South Africa-based King assuming the chairmanship, the new board appointed shareholder Douglas Park as a director and set about restoring the ailing club's fortunes. King said at the time: "The club is pretty much broken. It's broken in many areas. Pretty much everything has to be looked at." In a statement on the Rangers website on Monday evening, King said: "After regime change, it was necessary to compile a board who recognised the magnitude of the challenge facing the club and who had the passion and commitment to drive the club's agenda forward against the obstacles that faced us at that time. "When I approached John to assist with the rebuilding exercise he unhesitatingly agreed to do so, despite the challenges this would demand of his time given his other extensive business, social and family commitments. "After years of tireless effort, lobbying, and campaigning to turn Rangers' fortunes around, John has taken the decision to step down knowing that much of what was required post regime change has already been achieved and that the outstanding requirements have been clearly identified by the board, who have the necessary action plans in place. "John would now like to concentrate on business and family life, as well as simply being a fan again." Gilligan said: "Words can never describe the joy and thrill of winning that critical EGM. That memory will remain with me for ever." Rangers finished this season third in the Scottish Premiership. Its annual degree ceremonies are taking place this week at the city's St David's Hall. More than 6,000 students will graduate, with 30,000 people expected to attend. Honorary fellowships are given to people who have achieved outstanding recognition in their field. Warburton's fellowship will recognise his rugby achievements where he is Wales' most capped and second youngest captain. Ms Tenison, founder of the JoJo Maman Bebe shop brand, will be honoured for her contribution to industry, and The Other Boleyn Girl author, Ms Gregory, for her contribution to literature. Television presenter Susanna Reid, a former student at the university's journalism school, is being recognised for her contribution to broadcasting. Meanwhile, Cardiff's University of South Wales is awarding honorary doctorates to academics and industry experts, including Peter Vaughan, chief constable of South Wales Police.

The tournament runs on a four-year cycle but has been brought forward a year to avoid clashing with the Sevens World Cup and Commonwealth Games in 2018. The pool stages in Dublin are already sold out, debutants Hong Kong provide a compelling underdog story plus England and New Zealand are packed with talent - so what else do you need to know about the 2017 tournament? As reigning world champions and the number one side in the world rankings, everyone wants to knock England off their perch. But the Red Roses are in confident mood heading into the tournament, having beaten perennial rivals New Zealand away from home in June, and will be the only team in Ireland who have trained full-time since January. Despite recent confirmation that full-time contracts for XVs are ending, the team have known since April and say they won't let anything disrupt their defence of the title. Media playback is not supported on this device The 26-year-old flyer has petrified players on the sevens field for years, with her stunning side-step and raw speed seeing her score numerous tries, and the Olympic silver medallist and former World Sevens Player of the Year has now switched her focus back to XVs. The daughter and niece of former All Blacks, her rugby pedigree runs deep and whether on the wing or in the centres, she will be one of the most potent threats over the next two and a half weeks. There are two tough pools in this World Cup and Wales, ranked 10th in the world, have arguably found themselves in the toughest. Pool A sees them line up alongside four-time champions New Zealand and 2014 runners-up Canada, the sides ranked number two and three in the world. The fourth team are debutants Hong Kong, who are ranked 23rd, and although Wales will hope to beat them, can they upset the other two sides? The Wallaroos won the first ever Olympic sevens gold medal in Rio but XVs has never been their strong point, and with their focus on the shorter form of the game they have only played a handful of Tests in XVs since the last World Cup. Captain Shannon Parry, who tasted success in Rio, says they're underdogs but thinks it makes them more dangerous as the pressure is off. The pool stages in Dublin are already sold out and fans are trying to get hold of tickets by any means. A party atmosphere is being predicted, and those lucky enough to have tickets will be able to enjoy a fan zone as well as the rugby. After just two weekends of the Six Nations in February, 2.2 million fans had tuned in to watch the women's Championship. But at the last World Cup in Paris, 2.5 million viewers watched the France v Canada semi-final on TV and it is no mistake that Les Bleus' kick-offs are all prime-time back home. Can they deliver this time for their supporters? It's a first for Hong Kong - no team of either sex has ever qualified for a World Cup previously. Don't expect the team to be all smiles though - they've been drawn in Pool A with Canada, New Zealand and Wales. Gulp. The Italians are back at the World Cup for the first time since 2002. Now ranked ninth in the world, it is also the first time they have qualified by right, as previously they were invited to take part. Much credit goes to the patient pair of Veronica Schiavon and Sylvia Gaudino, who played back in 2002 and have been selected again for 2017. Most teams get good luck messages before heading overseas for big tournaments - the Black Ferns had one from two-time World Cup-winning All Blacks captain Richie McCaw. But surely one from Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau tops the lot. We can't see British Prime Minister Theresa May encouraging players to "stick a tackle"! In 2014, Ireland's women became the first Irish side to make a Rugby World Cup semi-final and they are aiming to make at least the last four once again. Hopes are that home advantage in 2017 will propel them even further, but they need a change in fortune after losing captain Niamh Briggs to injury less than a fortnight before the start of the tournament. If they are to lift the trophy in Belfast on 26 August, they will have to do so without their inspirational full-back and leader. Media playback is not supported on this device

The eighth Women's Rugby World Cup begins on Wednesday with England looking to defend the title they won in 2014.

The event, which has only just come to light, occurred off the coast of Brazil at 13:55 GMT on 6 February. As it burned up, the space rock released the equivalent of 13,000 tonnes of TNT. This makes it the most powerful event of its kind since an object exploded over Chelyabinsk in Russia in 2013. That blast was much bigger, releasing the equivalent of 500,000 tonnes of TNT. More than 1,000 people were injured in that incident on 15 February three years ago, most from flying glass from shattered windows. But the fireball over the Atlantic probably went unnoticed; it burnt up about 30km above the ocean surface, 1,000km off the Brazilian coast. Nasa listed the event on its Fireball and Bolide Reports web page. Measurements suggest that about 30 small asteroids (between 1m and 20m in size) burn up in the Earth's atmosphere every year. Because most of the Earth's surface is covered by water, most of these fall over the ocean and do not affect populated areas. Follow Paul on Twitter.

The biggest fireball since the Chelyabinsk explosion has plunged through the atmosphere over the Atlantic Ocean.

Shailesh Vara said publishing the costs would be a "waste of time and effort". He said the government wanted to "move ahead" after Justice Secretary Michael Gove scrapped his predecessor's proposals to overhaul the system. Labour has called on the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to refer itself to the National Audit Office over the issue. It also demanded an apology to those adversely affected. Plans to slash the number of law firms allowed to do criminal legal aid work at police stations and magistrates' courts have been dropped, while an 8.75% cut to legal aid fees lawyers earn has been suspended for a year. Mr Gove said the MoJ had faced too many legal challenges over the plans - it faced 99 separate legal actions over the proposals. Lawyers had claimed the reforms could damage quality and access to justice. The proposed cuts - drawn up by former Justice Secretary Chris Grayling - would have reduced the number of solicitor firms awarded "duty contracts" by about two-thirds from 1,600 to 527. Asking an urgent question in the House of Commons on Friday, shadow justice minister Andy Slaughter said the abandoned plans were "an appalling use of taxpayers' money" that had presented an existential threat to the legal system. He added: "How much public money and civil service time has been spent on the aborted tendering processes, the court cases and the consultations in the past three years? "Will you refer your own department to the National Audit Office so it can be independently investigated? Will you apologise to the firms which have closed, laid off staff, or cut salaries faced with losing contracts?" Mr Vara replied that "all shades of government... if they listen to people and if they feel a decision needs to be changed then they do make that change". He added: "I don't recall previous governments wasting time and effort trying to calculate measures when they have made a change of direction. "So as far as we're concerned this is a decision that's been welcomed by the profession, we're pleased about that, we want to look forward and move ahead." Mr Gove's announcements were the latest in a series of reversals of policies brought in by his predecessor. He pulled the UK out of deal to give prisons training advice to Saudi Arabia, having already scrapped the commercial arm of the MoJ that had sought the contract. Mr Grayling's plans for "secure colleges" for young offenders were dropped, as were previously planned cuts to barristers' fees and a scheme to outsource the collection of fines by the courts. Ben Edge, 25, was working without safety equipment in windy conditions in a quarry in Ramsbottom, Greater Manchester in 2014. Christopher and Robert Brown, who admitted trying to cover up what had happened, were jailed for 20 months. Mark Aspin was sentenced to a year. His mother Janet Edge blasted the men for their "abhorrent actions". Speaking after the verdict, Mrs Edge said: "Ben was the most fun loving and hard-working man. "He was like a breath of fresh air, always smiling with a huge friendly personality and would do anything for anyone. "The sentence given to those responsible for Ben's death and for their abhorrent actions bears nothing compared to the life sentence that my family and I were given on the 10 December 2014. "Nor does it do justice to an irreplaceable life." Mr Edge fell from a structure he was helping to dismantle. He died from head injuries. SR and RJ Brown Limited, of which brothers Christopher and Robert Brown are directors, was fined £300,000 at Manchester Crown Court after admitting corporate manslaughter. Christopher Brown, 25, of Gollinrod Farm, Gollinrod, Bury, and Robert Brown, 32, of Lower Gollinrod Farm, near Ramsbottom, pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice and two counts of health and safety breaches. A count of manslaughter for the brothers is to lie on file. Aspin, 37, of Hameldon Road, Hapton, Lancashire, was jailed after admitting health and safety offences. The company he is director of - MA Excavations Ltd, of Garden Street, Ramsbottom, which contracted out the work - was fined £75,000 after pleading guilty to two health and safety breaches. Employee Peter Heap, 34, of Copthurst Farm, Barrowford Road, Padiham, Burnley, was spared jail after he followed orders to bring safety harnesses to the site after his colleague had fallen to try to conceal what had happened. His four-month sentence for perverting the course of justice, which he had admitted, was suspended for two years. As we've been reporting in the last few days, there's been a frenzied guessing game, stoked by some cabinet ministers themselves, over the future for the pay of nurses, teachers, police officers, and the rest of the five million or so people who work in the public sector. In the aftermath of the election, some in cabinet argue that scrapping the pay cap would be a way of showing they had heard the electorate's call, proof they had listened to public concerns. No politician, not least one clinging on in a minority government, wants to appear deaf to the concerns of the public. One senior figure arguing for a relaxation of the cap argues that the Tories have to get out in front of the issue, to neutralise it, before what could be a long, hot summer of political discontent, claiming that Cabinet is moving towards a consensus position to "scrap the cap", at least showing willing to accept the recommendations of the independent pay bodies as they report over the coming months. But after an election defeat where the Tories ditched their core script on sound money, others are in a very different position. One minister said, it would be "utter madness" to ditch a central part of their economic programme, their "record for stewardship", questioning whether an "utterly useless" election campaign should result in junking the economic discipline the government should be proud of. Another questioned "the idea you can just walk away from the cap without serious consequences". Yes, sticking to the cap causes the Tories political damage, but so might raising taxes, or making cuts somewhere else to do it. Arguably the simpler part of the debate has been had - many public sector workers are feeling the pinch, and there is more and more pressure to remove the limit on pay rises. The more complicated bit, who or what would pay for the increase, is a conversation that's yet to happen. Whatever Boris Johnson and Michael Gove have said in the last twenty four hours, don't expect anything to happen in a hurry. The first pay review body is not due to report for another few weeks. It seems unlikely that the government will announce any plan to either ditch the cap or promise to accept the decisions of the review bodies before then. It's not in either Theresa May or Philip Hammond's DNA to make quick decisions. One of her allies reports there is simply no decision. But how they show they are in tune with volatile public opinion while going through a decision making process is not straightforward either. The White House has called it an "enormous humanitarian tragedy". Meanwhile, US officials have told the BBC that two Russian war planes were responsible for the attack. Russia strongly denies involvement of its own or Syrian planes, and says the incident was caused by fire on the ground and not by an air strike. "There are no craters and the exterior of the vehicles do not have the kind of damage consistent with blasts caused by bombs dropped from the air," a statement from the defence ministry said. And the country's foreign ministry spokeswoman said the US government had "no facts" to support its claim, adding: "We have nothing to do with this situation." Separately, an air strike hit a medical centre near Aleppo on Tuesday night local time, killing four medics working for the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM), the group said. The attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Touman also killed at least nine rebel fighters and was carried out by either Syrian or Russian warplanes, UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The rebels were from Jaish al-Fatah, an Islamist group not officially part of the Western-backed alliance but one that works alongside the Free Syrian Army, the BBC's James Longman in Beirut reports. One nurse remains in a critical condition and the medical centre was completely destroyed, UOSSM said in a statement (in French), adding that more victims are feared buried under the rubble. Speaking earlier about Monday's attack on the aid convoy, US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said two Russian SU-24 attack aircraft were in the sky above the convoy at the precise moment it was hit in Urum al-Kubra. The strike, they added, was too sophisticated to have been carried out by the Syrian army. White House spokesman Ben Rhodes later said: "There only could have been two entities responsible, either the Syrian regime or the Russian government. "In any event, we hold the Russian government responsible for airstrikes in this space." The UN had earlier said it was "not in a position to determine whether these were in fact air strikes". Eighteen of 31 lorries were destroyed and about 20 civilians were killed including a senior official of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent. The attack prompted the UN to suspend all aid convoys in Syria. The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Peter Maurer, denounced the attack as a "flagrant violation of international humanitarian law" and said it could amount to a war crime. Meanwhile, diplomats in New York were trying to save a week-old truce agreement brokered by the US and Russia which was declared over by Syrian military hours before the incident. US Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking alongside his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, insisted the cessation of hostilities deal was "not dead", following talks with delegates of the Syria Support Group. They are to meet again on Friday. And the UN Security Council is due to hold a high-level meeting on Syria on Wednesday. Earlier, Ban Ki-moon, the UN chief, launched a stinging attack on Syria's government, saying it has killed the most civilians in the five-year civil war and continues "to barrel bomb neighbourhoods and systematically torture thousands of detainees". Using unusually blunt language in his final address to the UN General Assembly, Mr Ban also said those who supported the opposing sides in the conflict had "blood on their hands". Mr Ban called the attack on the aid convoy "sickening, savage and apparently deliberate" and called for those responsible to be held to account. Syria's foreign ministry responded by accusing Mr Ban of flouting the UN charter. It said the UN had "failed in its role" to find solutions to international conflicts. Aid deliveries to besieged areas had been a key part of the cessation of hostilities. France forward Antoine Griezmann gave Diego Simeone's side a first-half lead with a superb free-kick. But Antonio Sanabria equalised for Abelardo Fernandez's men on 79 minutes before Castro tapped home Jony's low cross with a minute left on the clock. With eight games left, Atletico trail leaders Barcelona by eight points. Luis Enrique's side, who have a game in hand on Atletico, can extend their lead at the top of La Liga to 11 points if they beat Villarreal at El Madrigal on Sunday. Atletico seemed on course for a fifth consecutive league win just before the half-hour mark, when Griezmann floated an inch-perfect free-kick from 25 yards over the wall and into the top corner of Ivan Cuellar's goal. But the visitors, who played 120 minutes in the Champions League on Tuesday before beating PSV Eindhoven on penalties, lost their focus in the second half. Sanabria equalised with a free-kick that deflected off Atleti midfielder Matias Kranevitter and past goalkeeper Jan Oblak. Castro then hit the bar for Gijon following Sanabria's low cross from the left. Atleti went down to 10 men for the final moments of the match, following an injury to defender Jose Gimenez after Simeone had already made his three substitutions. Spain Under-21 international Castro took advantage to score the winner and secure a first league victory for Gijon since 31 January. Gijon, who started the match in the bottom two and three points from a position of safety, remain in the relegation places following Granada's 2-2 draw with Rayo Vallecano on Saturday evening. Godden has now scored eight times in his last eight games, and has 15 in total this season, with his penalty being sandwiched by strikes from Steven Schumacher and the excellent Tom Pett. Sam Saunders went close early on, sending a free-kick from 25 yards narrowly wide with Jamie Jones left standing before Chairboys stopper Jamal Blackman had to push away Jobi McAnuff's curler. However, the hosts went ahead on 25 minutes as McAnuff's cross was helped on by Godden and Schumacher was on hand to nod in from close range. The lead was doubled just before half-time when Pett was tripped in the area by Dominic Gape, leaving Godden to send Blackman the wrong way from the spot. The visitors were the architects of their own downfall for Stevenage's third, as Aaron Pierre was dispossessed on the edge of his own area by Pett, who rounded Blackman to score.

The company insists it is just exploratory drilling and has no plans for fracking - a controversial method of extracting gas from rock. But North East Wales Against Fracking Action said local people were worried. The plans by GP Energy to test drill a borehole to explore for coal bed methane underground will be considered by Wrexham council. The site is two miles from the River Dee and opponents fear that the test drilling could eventually lead to hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking. Resident Luke Ashley, spokesperson for the newly-launched action group, said the drilling could be "just the start of what could be the industrialisation of the countryside to the east of Wrexham". "The test bore is to assess how much gas is present in the coal seams that stretch from Point of Ayr in Flintshire all the way down through Wrexham and into Cheshire and Shropshire," he said. "If full-blown extraction of coal bed methane follows it could involve pumping thousands of litres of water and chemicals into the ground to force out the gas. "We are incredibly concerned that this could leak into drinking water supplies in the nearby River Dee." He added that the group would be lobbying councillors before the plans were discussed by the council's planning committee, possibly later this year. A public meeting was taking place on Tuesday evening. Fracking is a technique where water and chemicals are pumped into shale rock at high pressure to extract gas. It was temporarily banned in the UK after it was blamed for two earth tremors in Blackpool in 2011. Opponents claim water used in the fracking process will be contaminated and could enter domestic supplies. But a UK government review has now concluded fracking is safe if adequately monitored. Dart Energy, which owns GP Energy, last week told the Wrexham Leader that it had no plans for fracking in the Wrexham area and said the well at the drilling site would be cemented over once exploration had taken place. A company spokesman told the newspaper: "Dart Energy can confirm the planning application is for the drilling of a coal bed methane exploration well which is temporary in nature and will be fully cemented upon completion of the operation. "The purpose of the well is to extract a core (sample) from the coal seam in order to test the methane content in a laboratory. "As with similar wells in the past, Dart Energy has no plans to frack this well and is not seeking permission to frack the well from either the local authority or the Environment Agency." Wrexham council said the application would be considered by the planning committee in due course. The two cities are the only ones left in the race for 2024 after Budapest, Hamburg and Rome withdrew. Bid chair Casey Wasserman appeared to concede to Paris when he said: "We have never been only about 2024." But a spokesman later told BBC Sport: "LA is the ideal host city for 2024." He added: "LA is not conceding anything in the race for the 2024 Games." Concerns over this apparent lack of interest in staging sport's biggest event, as well as years of bad publicity about spiralling costs and unused venues, has led the International Olympic Committee to consider taking advantage of these two strong bids by giving them a Games each. Confirmation of the legality of that option is expected on Friday. Wasserman issued a statement on Wednesday that appeared to concede the race. "Even when the issue of a dual award for the 2024 and 2028 Games was initially raised, we didn't say it's 'LA first' or it's 'now or never' for LA: that sounds like an ultimatum," Wasserman said. "We could have used that strategy but we didn't because we thought it was presumptuous to tell the IOC what to do and how to think. We're better partners than that. "It has always been our contention that LA 2024 had to make as much sense for the Olympic movement as it did for the people of LA. And we've stuck to that premise. "We don't believe in ultimatums - we believe in partnership; that's why we are willing to look beyond ourselves and ask the question 'how can LA best serve the long-term needs of the Olympic and Paralympic Games?"' He said the LA bid requires no public funding and all the facilities are either built or being built anyway. But the bid team later issued the clarification to emphasise they had not given up on LA hosting in 2024. The Paris bid aims to mark the centenary of its last Games in 1924 and end a run of three previous failed bids, most recently in 2005 when London was awarded the 2012 Games. Paris has also claimed it has to go first as the site it has earmarked for the Olympic Village will not be available for redevelopment after 2024. The traditional vote to decide between the bidders is scheduled for the IOC session in Peru's capital Lima in September. Peter Bell, a Governor for Southern Health, called for the motion to be discussed at an Extraordinary Board of Governors meeting on Tuesday. But trust chairman Tim Smart cancelled the meeting for legal reasons on Saturday. Mr Bell said the cancellation was "no laughing matter". The meeting, which would have been held at Lyndhurst Community Centre in Hampshire, comes after a report found the NHS mental health trust failed to investigate the unexpected deaths of more than 1,000 people since 2011. Responding to the cancellation, Mr Bell threatened the trust with legal action if it did not reconsider proceeding with the meeting on 17 May. He said: "I am beginning to feel like the families who have being pursuing changes at Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust appear to have been banging their heads on a brick wall. "If this was not such a serious matter I would be laughing out loud at such tactics. But this is no laughing matter. This is deadly serious and I really hope that the interim chair begins to understand just how serious this is. "Do we really need to resort to the courts in the first two weeks of your appointment?" Mr Smart said the delay was "far from ideal" and that the resolutions put forward by Governors for discussion "did not comply with NHS Improvement guidance, and any vote would not be legally robust". "I am determined that what we do everything correctly, whatever the short term difficulties along the way", he added. The number eight suffered a knee injury on his Aviva Premiership debut for Bath on 3 September, but it was hoped he might be fit for Wales next month. Bath do not expect the 25-year-old British and Irish Lion to start training until the middle of November. Wales play Australia in Cardiff on 5 November, followed by Argentina and Japan before South Africa at the Principality Stadium on 26 November. Faletau joined Bath from Newport Gwent Dragons in the summer, and made his debut in a friendly against Scarlets in August. He has played 61 times for Wales, and one Test for the Lions in Australia in 2013. Wales coach Rob Howley will also be without Gloucester's Ross Moriarty for the game against Australia because it falls outside World Rugby's international window. Howley - in charge of the team while Warren Gatland coaches the British and Irish Lions - announces his squad for the autumn series on Tuesday. He said more must be done to build trust among black and Hispanic people that police violence would be investigated properly. Mr Obama was speaking in Washington after meeting activists, politicians and law enforcement officers. It follows recent killings of black men by officers in Louisiana and Minnesota. The killings triggered a revenge attack by a black army veteran who shot dead five police officers in the city of Dallas last week. Dallas shootings: Who were the victims? Who was the attacker? Special report: US racial divide "We're going to have to do more work together in thinking about how we can build confidence that after police officers have used force, particularly deadly force, that there is confidence in how the investigation takes place and that justice is done," Mr Obama said. He suggested a set of practices may have to be established to ensure investigations are effective and fair. "What's been apparent is that it's not enough just for us to have a task force, a report and then follow up through our departments. "We have to push this out to communities so that they feel ownership for some of the good ideas that have been floating around this table," the president said. On Tuesday, Mr Obama attended a memorial service in Dallas for the five killed officers and spoke to the families of the men killed by police in Louisiana and Minnesota, Alton Sterling, 37, and Philando Castile, 32, to offer condolences. A day later, funerals were held in the Dallas area for two of the five officers, Lorne Ahrens, 48, and Brent Thompson, 43. Later on Thursday, the funerals will take place of a third officer, Michael Smith, and, in the cathedral of St Paul in Minnesota, of Mr Castile. BBC Hindi's Salman Ravi travels to the village in the eastern state of Bihar to meet the excited family that the woman, named Geeta, has identified as her own. Geeta, who has speech and hearing impairments, was about 11 when she is believed to have strayed into Pakistan. As the time nears for Geeta to be re-united with her family, excitement looms large in the Kabeera Dhaap village in Saharsa district. Villager Janardhan Mahato has claimed that Geeta is his daughter, Heera, who was lost in a fair in Ludhiana city in the western Indian state of Punjab which shares a border with Pakistan. Mr Mahato has been taken to India capital, Delhi, to meet Geeta when she returns from Pakistan on Monday. The village, meanwhile, is anxiously waiting for her return. Situated on an island on the Kosi river, Kabeera Dhaap lacks in even basic amenities like electricity and the only way to reach it is by boat followed by a 2km (1.24 miles) walk. And the villagers say they have long been neglected by the authorities. "Nobody ever comes to our village. It is difficult to reach and neither politicians nor officials ever visit us. Now Geeta has shot into fame and we hope her return will bring the attention of officials to our village," says Raj Dev, Mr Mahato's brother. Since Geeta, now believed to be about 22, identified her parents and siblings in the photograph, at least two other families have claimed that Geeta as their own. Authorities have said they will conduct a DNA test before handing her over to any family. But the residents of Kabeera Dhaap village say they are absolutely sure of her identity and that they last saw Geeta when she was married and moved to Punjab with her husband. "We are absolutely sure that Geeta is our Heera. We have seen her grow up in the village. We saw her get married and then she left with her husband for Ludhiana. We know the DNA test will establish our claim," said villager Edison Mahato. Janardhan Mahato, who works as a farm labourer, searched for his daughter for five years in Ludhiana, the villagers say. "When there was no clue, he returned home disheartened." Efforts to find her family began in August after India accepted for the first time that Geeta was one of its citizens. The family and the villagers recognised her after Indian television channels started airing her photographs. "I am her elder brother. We have recognised her. Back in Pakistan, she has also recognised the photographs of our father and the family. Had it not been so, the government officials wouldn't have approached us," said Balram Mahato, Jagannath Mahato's eldest son. In the village, recordings of Pakistani news channels, narrating Geeta's story, are played out on loudspeakers at the river bank and at the local temple. Villager KP Sharma, 70, says many residents leave the village to work in other parts of the country because they have no opportunities at home. "We have nothing here as you can see - no power, no clean drinking water, no roads, no medical care. The village has seen mass migration. This is the reason that Geeta and her husband migrated to Punjab. Most villagers work as farm labourers in different parts of the country." "We hope Geeta brings us luck. Maybe we can get a bridge over the river to connect us to the rest of Bihar. Maybe we'll get electricity since so many journalists are visiting us now," another villager said. Chief executive Derek Cartwright said one lone paramedic worked on his own for a few minutes as he tried to save lives before help arrived. And a 999 ambulance operator who took the first calls from terrified parents later helped to deliver a baby. This was because no ambulance crews were free to help the pregnant mother. The baby was successfully delivered at home. Mr Cartwright said: "One of our advanced paramedics was very close by and was on the scene on his own for a few minutes, which was a real challenge for him. "There was also one individual who took one of the first calls, who by the end of the night helped a lady deliver her baby in her own home. "The general public have been so appreciative. We've had our crews go out on normal calls that we get every day of the week such as people collapsing in the street, and been receiving rounds of applause from people. "We've had our staff coming in to say 'I'll work for nothing today because it's needed' and we've had our staff saying 'I'll donate a day's pay to give the people who were the first in a day off' - it's brilliant." Special report: Manchester attack Who were the victims? Veil of quiet respect descends on city How do you crowdfund for someone you've never met? Twenty-two people were killed and 64 injured in the suicide bombing at the concert by US pop star Ariana Grande at Manchester Arena on Monday night. Jo O'Brien, a senior sister in the surgical department of Stepping Hill hospital in Stockport, said working Monday night was "the most upsetting thing I've ever been involved in". She admitted "cuddling her Labrador and having a really good cry" when she got home after her shift. Dr Peter-Marc Fortune, a consultant in paediatrics at Manchester Children's Hospital where up to 12 injured children were being treated said: "We've had fantastic support - people have very kindly sent in the most amazing amounts of sandwiches, pizzas and whatever." Peter Harrison, 57, ignored a police warning to stay away from his wife Wendy when he pushed his way into her Gateshead home last July. Harrison, the ex-agent of England striker Andy Carroll, admitted harassment at Newcastle Crown Court. He was sentenced to nine months custody suspended for 18 months. Harrison, who was dropped by the England striker just before his £35m move to Liverpool from Newcastle in 2011, was also ordered to carry out 175 hours of community service and pay court costs of £490. The hearing heard that before the attack, Harrison had sent abusive messages to his wife before forcing his way into her home frightening his two children who went and "cowered" in an upstairs bedroom. Judge Stephen Earl said: "You felt your wife loved those inanimate things more than you so it was your way of taking out your frustrations on something. "The level of fear that it caused is incalculable." The hearing heard Harrison, of Evergreen Close, Hartlepool, regretted what had happened. Duncan Jones, defending, said: "He recognises now that his wife was unhappy but he had not appreciated that at that the time. "He has accepted the relationship is over and there will be no repeat of the incident." The court heard Harrison now works as a consultant selling European football expertise to developing clubs in China and the Middle East. He previously appeared on the Panorama investigation into football in 2006, when the programme claimed he had paid bungs to managers. Valued at just over £500m the company was being wooed by a clutch of private equity firms. But "market volatility" killed the talks. Since then Micro Focus's fortunes have changed dramatically. Last week it joined the FTSE 100 and on Thursday bought the software arm of Hewlett Packard Enterprise to become one of the UK's largest tech firms. To complete the irony, the collapse of the Micro Focus talks in 2011 coincided, almost to the day, with Hewlett-Packard's disastrous $11bn takeover of rival software group Autonomy. The remains of Autonomy, massively written down, are among the assets that Micro Focus is now buying for $8.8bn (£6.6bn) from Hewlett Packard Enterprise - a spin-off from HP's computer and printer business. It is the latest and biggest purchase on Micro Focus's shopping list, drawn up by executive chairman Kevin Loosemore. As part of the shopping spree, the Berkshire-based company has bought two other US software companies - Attachmate for $1.2bn in 2014 and Serena Software this year for $540m. Mr Loosemore, who took the helm in 2011, said: "I contacted HPE in about February this year. We are in regular contact with most players in the mature software space, it's what we do, and HPE had just separated from HPI (Hewlett Packard Inc) at the back end of last year and I was personally intrigued as to what their new strategy was going to be." The core of Micro Focus's business is this "mature software space", specifically linking old software technology to new. So for instance, it can make old cash machines talk to the latest banking software, or connect a supermarket's old inventory control system to the latest generation of mainframes. These businesses can be made to generate huge amounts of cash. Since 2011 Micro Focus has delivered annual compound shareholder returns of 39%. And its stated strategy is to deliver 15-20% returns to shareholders each year. That explains why Micro Focus has little problem funding its acquisitions. But its rise from mid-cap company to FTSE entrant and the near-doubling of its share price in the last year has taken many by surprise, so much so that many of the top technology analysts in London simply did not cover the stock. One analyst said: "I think many have steered clear of it because it is a complex company, a kind of portfolio business and until recently was not considered big enough. But that will all change now." However, Paraag Amin, technology analyst from Peel Hunt, has been watching the company for almost ten years. He explained that its strategy has been to buy up software that is "mature", i.e. no longer growing and about to be superseded by new products. Software companies that were developed in the nineties have been "maturing" over the last five years and have fueled Micro Focus's dramatic acquisition programme and rapid expansion. "Micro Focus has realised that as technologies mature and go into decline they, as a management team, can make them more profitable by supporting them and making them work in the new environment. You could call them asset managers of software products. "For instance, Autonomy, which made up about 6% of HP's business will now make up over half of Micro Focus's business. But it is hoping it can take its profit margins from the 20-30% range up to 40% which is the average for Micro Focus's businesses." Asked whether Micro Focus had the skill to hold together such a rapidly expanding group of companies, Mr Amin said: "It's exactly what they are good at, taking in declining companies, turning them round and supporting them." Point of Ayr Colliery, near Prestatyn, closed in 1996 after more than 100 years of mining. Most men from the adjacent village of Ffynnongroyw followed their fathers and grandfathers down the pit. The memorial, alongside the A548, was officially opened by Delyn MP David Hanson on Thursday. As they surged past shouting "Long live Fidel and Raul!" and "Down with imperialism!", a dancing choir sang songs from the revolution and President Raul Castro smiled and waved in greeting. A huge poster on the wall of the National Library vowed that Cuba would never return to capitalism; workers carried banners proclaiming "Socialism or death!" or waved images of Lenin and Che Guevara. They were familiar scenes on this Communist-run island, a highly organised annual show of support. But Cuba is in the midst of major changes - cutting state employment and subsidies - making this an uncertain time for workers. In a bid to ensure the system here survives, the government is attempting an urgent overhaul of the struggling, centrally-planned economy. As a banner across Revolution Square put it, it is a drive to "preserve and perfect socialism". The plan is to reduce the bloated state payroll by around 20%, or a million workers, and cut costs. So far, a limited amount of private business has been permitted to absorb them. More than 370,000 licences have been issued for everything from watch repairers to privately-run restaurants as workers abandon state salaries of around $20 a month, and strike out in business alone. But earlier this month, a senior official indicated that bigger change was afoot. "Within four or five years, between 40% and 45% of GDP will result from non-state production," Esteban Lazo told the Havana city government. Today, the figure is around 5%. The next stages might include an expansion of the co-operative system beyond agriculture to light industry. Highly educated - but low-paid - young Cubans hope the categories for self-employment will expand, to include professions like law or architecture. For the moment it's the private restaurant sector that's most popular, offering the most potential for profit. But there are difficulties, including restrictions on advertising. So one new entrepreneur decided to get creative this May Day. "Whether we're state employees or not, we're still workers and marching on 1 May is a habit here," explained Sergio Alba Marin, owner of Pachanga cafe. So the businessman handed staff bright red T-shirts and caps emblazoned with his logo, and they all joined the workers' parade. Banner held high, they marched alongside a giant fake cigar representing the state firm Cohiba and a cage full of live hens, brought by workers at a state research institute. "Of course it's an advert. We want people to see we're there, that we're present," Mr Alba said of his own efforts. "There are no TV adverts here, but we do what we can." Meanwhile, in the still-vast state sector, Cuba is on efficiency drive. "We must increase productivity at work, discipline and quality," trade union leader Salvador Valdes Mesa instructed workers in his May Day speech. "We must make clear that making savings is a key source of funds," the unionist added. In a sign of that policy in practice, this year's May Day parade was a scaled-down affair. There were fewer fixed stands and posters, and fewer workers too - meaning less state spending bringing them to the square. In fact, the whole event was over in what locals called record time. The last worker had filed out of Revolution Square by 09:15, well under two hours after it all started. The ECB carried out a security review in the country following a series of deadly attacks and consulted with players and officials on Thursday. England play two Tests and three one-day internationals between 7 October and 1 November. The matches will take place in Chittagong and Dhaka, where 20 hostages died when a cafe was attacked in July. Australia postponed their Test tour of Bangladesh in October 2015 over security concerns. Following Thursday's meeting, ECB cricket director Andrew Strauss said: "Safety and security of players and management are always paramount. "We've received a thorough risk assessment, had excellent insight into the current situation and been fully briefed on security commitments. "We discussed details with the players and management in an open meeting. "They asked lots of questions, have time to ask more and will clearly want to take it all in - we understand that." England limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan this week said no players would be forced to tour Bangladesh. Strauss, who said England's touring squad will be named after the current limited-overs series against Pakistan, added that the ECB will "continue to monitor the situation right up to and throughout the tour". More than 40 people have been killed in Bangladesh by suspected Islamists in the past three years, mostly targeting individuals. July's cafe attack was on a larger scale than had been seen in the country. Foreign and Commonwealth Office advice is that "there is a heightened threat of further terrorist attacks" in Bangladesh, although a similar threat level applies to many European cities, including London. The Department of Infrastructure at the Northern Ireland Executive has proposed banning vehicles. It said the plans were in the early stages of consultation. Earlier this year, the County Antrim road was temporarily closed after high winds ripped up two trees causing them to collapse. The department said it intended to publish a "notice of intention" to for the proposal in the autumn. "Following discussions with Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council and other interested parties, the department has agreed to take forward an order prohibiting vehicles using Bregagh Road," it said. The iconic tunnel of trees near Armoy has become a major tourist attraction since featuring in the smash-hit television series. The trees were planted by the Stuart family along the entrance to their Gracehill House mansion. The Royal Bank of Scotland's quarterly monitor found more firms expecting sales to grow over the next six months than the number expecting a fall. Financial and businesses services showed signs of renewed strength in the past three months. Repeat orders also looked healthy for tourism ahead of its busy season. However, the survey of 500 Scottish businesses suggested that the oil industry slump was still hurting business in north-east Scotland. The survey was conducted by the Fraser of Allander Institute, which released its own report this week warning that Scotland may fail to avoid a recession this year. The RBS survey is more upbeat, with companies across the country expecting to see an increase in business volumes, sales and repeat business during the next six months. Almost a third (31%) firms reported a fall in the total volume of business during the last quarter, compared with 30% who witnessed an increase in activity. However, the balance of -1% represented an improvement of 18 points on the first quarter of the year. The performance of financial and businesses services firms was especially strong, with more than one in five (22%) reporting an increase in business volumes. Overall, a net 18% of firms which took part in the survey said they expected to see a rise in repeat business for the remainder of 2016. Turnover was strongest within the central belt, where a net 4% of business reported sales growth. This compared with 11% of businesses across Scotland reporting a fall. In total, a net 13% of firms said they expected sales to grow over the next quarter. Within services, the figure was 16%. While one in three (35%) of firms enjoyed an increase in the amount of new business, areas strongly associated with oil and gas and agriculture struggled. Both the north-east and the Highlands and Islands reported no increase in new business. The report also found that exports had proved "challenging for all businesses". Just one in five firms (19%) stated that export activity rose, while one in four (26%) saw it fall. Fraser of Allander Institute director Graeme Roy said: "The latest Royal Bank of Scotland Business Monitor report contains some grounds for cautious optimism with many of the key benchmark indicators improving. "However, uncertainty appears to be having an impact on some business activities - perhaps most notably capital investment which could have implications for long-term growth. The services sector continues to outperform manufacturing. "Overall the performance of the Scottish economy since 2015 has been relatively fragile, although this report confirms that growth is likely to return and build momentum through the 2nd half of 2016." Scottish Economy Secretary Keith Brown said the economy was facing challenges but the RBS survey was encouraging. He said: "Despite facing subdued global demand and the impact of the oil price on our offshore industry, Scotland's economy has proven resilient and continued to grow - with recent independent forecasts pointing to further growth this year and next. "Across the world, people are still choosing Scotland as a good place to do business, with record inward investment in 2015 - putting us ahead of all other parts of the UK outside London. "Despite this, there is no doubt conditions remain tough for companies across Scotland. That is why we will continue to take concerted action to support our economy, creating a competitive business environment in which companies can flourish, creating and protecting jobs and stimulating growth." Robson-Kanu, who starred for Wales in Euro 2016, was a free agent after leaving Reading. The 27-year-old was given permission to leave Wales' training camp to complete the deal. Robson-Kanu had been told to find a club to boost his international prospects. Wales have reached their target of 27 medals and are guaranteed at least 32, beating the record of 31 set at Manchester 2002. They have achieved their target despite a torrid build-up dominated by high profile pull-outs. "I'm delighted but the athletes themselves are clearly delighted," Davies said. "They've been confident from the beginning and we've been confident in them despite any early issues. "They were focused on what they had to do. "We knew that those guys were capable of delivering for Wales and hopefully the nation are rightly proud of what they've achieved so far. Media playback is not supported on this device "If anything else it's justified the investment we've made since Delhi through the Welsh government and Sport Wales into the governing bodies. "I don't think anyone can criticise the results of that investment. It's up to us to analyse them and maybe make a case for either more funding or at least the same funding." Rhythmic gymnast Frankie Jones secured six of Wales' medals including the first gold of the Games with judoka Natalie Powell adding a second gold. Jazz Carlin became the first Welsh woman in 40 years to win a gold medal in the pool at the Games with Georgia Davies another swimming gold medallist. "There's been a couple of surprises," Davies said of Wales' medal haul so far. "But there always is surprises in every Games and maybe the rhythmic gymnasts really exceeded our best expectations. "I like the records. I love that kind of stuff and we've been blessed at these Games. "Jazz breaking a 40-year-old record and the gymnasts never having gold before." "Having looked at the guys left to compete, seeing how they're preparing and how confident they are I'd like to think we will be writing some good records again at the end of these Games. "The principle stays the same - asking the athletes to focus on their performance. "If we ask them to aim for a medal or a certain target it puts a bit too much pressure on them." The service, founded in 1938, was originally set up to train women to be able to help with air raid precautions. It soon developed into running emergency rest centres, feeding, first aid, and assisting with the evacuation and billeting of children. The organisation - now known as the Royal Voluntary Service (RVS) - is attempting to raise enough money for more than 300,000 pages of diary entries to be digitised. If successful, the collection will be made available to the public online. Diary entry: December 1943. Portsmouth division of WVS ARMY MENDING During November garments dealt with numbered 263. Two new units are now sending their mending, but one of the previous ones had left the district. A mending class, to teach the men to mend for themselves is held in the Headquarters of one unit, and the men are becoming quite enthusiastic about keeping their garments in repair, and learning all the various ways to do so. The archive, which has Unesco status, is ranked alongside other historical texts such as the Doomsday Book and the Death Warrant of King Charles I. "It's often the quiet voices of history which are the most revealing," says historian Ruth Goodman. "They can be easily overlooked amongst the clamour of parliamentary speeches, gunfire and official pronouncements, but the diaries and letters of a host of less celebrated lives speak of the true temperature of the times. "It is these unassuming thoughts, feelings and reports which tell us what was really happening behind the rhetoric." Diary entry: June 1942. Bath division of WVS KNITTING The amount of knitting for the Merchant Navy has increased. We have sent off two parcels; containing a total of 54 garments (sweaters, scarves and socks). Very unfortunately one oAf the parcels, (a hessian sack packed full) appears to have suffered severe pilfering en route. A sack, which appears to be the one we sent, arrived 10 days later with only two scarves in it and nothing else. We are making enquiries, and will have to claim against the Railway unless the things are found. Early in the month, we received a request from the local Naval Comforts Committee, to utilise some redundant seaboot stockings by having them unpicked and re-knitted into polo-necked jerseys. The number to be dealt with was considerable, but knitters were quickly forthcoming. All the wool was distributed, and much has already been returned in its new guise. The Hidden Histories of A Million Wartime Women project tells stories of "everyday heroism" from female volunteers from more than 2,000 cities, towns and villages across Britain. By 1940, one in 10 women was a member of the WVS. "They held the country together working tirelessly on the Home Front, but now they have been forgotten," the modern-day RVS says. "They modestly refused recognition in their own time and their voices, those of ordinary women from our shared past, have now fallen silent." Matthew McMurray, archivist at the RVS, says he's spent six years sorting through "tens of thousands of pieces of fragile paper" to get to a point where the documents can be digitised. "We want to be able to share these tales of everyday heroism and those million ordinary women who made the difference," he adds. The RVS has set up a page on crowd-funding website Kickstarter in an attempt to raise £25,000. The petition relates to money outstanding following delays to a takeover, after an Indian consortium pulled out of purchasing the club. This is separate to a £10.25m loan from the local council which the Cobblers have until Thursday to repay. Northampton chairman David Cardoza has said he "fully expects the matter to be resolved by the end of next week". The news comes after the London-based consortium, who have been known to be interested in the club since June, pulled out of the deal on Monday because of "a number of complications surrounding the proposed acquisition". Cardoza said that the club have moved on to speak with other interested parties, who know of the HMRC discussions, and there would be "definite news very soon". The BBC understands Northampton Town owes HMRC a "five-figure sum". In a statement, a HMRC spokesperson said: "HMRC does not in general comment on the tax affairs of individual businesses, but our aim is to efficiently collect the debts due and to prevent things deteriorating further. "We only initiate winding-up action where we believe this is the best way to protect both the interests of other taxpayers and creditors." Meanwhile, the 21-day deadline to repay a loan from Northampton Borough Council is also on Thursday. The original loan from the council was given to the club for the re-development of Sixfields Stadium, and was to be used to build the new East Stand, along with a hotel and conference centre - none of which have been completed. One option the club is looking at to repay the council loan is to sell off land behind the East Stand, with at least two developers said to be interested. "We are putting proposals to Northampton Borough Council regarding the repayment of the loan which we hope will prove satisfactory to them and that process is ongoing as we speak," said Cardoza. "I fully appreciate that, off the pitch, there only seems to be bad news for supporters at the moment but we are working towards, and we believe we are close to, a conclusion on all matters that tidies up all of the issues surrounding the club and allows it to move forward to a much brighter future." A Northampton Borough Council spokesman said: "Following this morning's announcement, we are contacting HMRC and are requesting an urgent meeting with them. "Our priority now is to understand what is happening at the football club and the impact this action will have. When we have the facts on this, we will consult our legal advisors about the appropriate steps regarding our loan to the club." The race includes scratch, tempo, elimination and points races, with Nelson third going into the last of those events. In her first omnium at world level, the 20-year-old was third in the points race to earn silver behind winner Lotte Kopecky of Belgium. Nelson will next race in the team pursuit qualifying on Saturday in Cali. She will line up with team-mates Manon Lloyd, Emily Kay and Neah Evans in the event. "Extremely happy with a silver medal in the Omnium!," Nelson wrote on Twitter. "On to the Team Pursuit now with qualification tomorrow." Find out how to get into cycling with our special guide. This was a £12,000 increase from the same month a year ago, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said, despite lenders reporting a relatively stagnant housing market. House prices rose sharply in Scotland over the year, the ONS said. Meanwhile, the cost of renting a home rose by 1.8% in a year, the ONS said. The ONS said that average house prices in the UK have increased by 5.6% in the year to April, accelerating from 4.5% in the year to March. This contrasts with recent figures from the Nationwide Building Society and Halifax Bank, which have shown the market stalling in recent months. "These figures go against the recent trend of a Brexit-related slowdown that we predicted last year but remain consistent with our guidance of 2% to 5% growth in 2017 as a whole," said Richard Snook, senior economist at accountants PwC. The ONS survey includes cash buyers but economists point out that it still uses only a small sample of transaction data - making the short-term conclusions prone to fluctuations. Over the course of the year to April, the fastest house price rises among the nations of the UK was 6.8% growth in Scotland. Among the English regions, prices went up fastest in the East of England, rising by 8.1%. The slowest was a 0.6% rise in the North East. The annual growth in the cost of renting has slowed from 2.5% a year ago to 1.8% now. Research published on Monday showed that affordability of rent and house buying was the biggest issue for tenants of private landlords. In separate figures, the ONS said that prices in general, as measured by inflation, rose by 2.9% in the year to May - driven by the cost of foreign package holidays for British tourists, and the price of computer games and equipment. The Behavioural Insights Team points to scientific and economic data showing people eat 3,000 calories, compared to the 2,000 cited in official surveys. It says this could explain rising obesity levels, despite decades of surveys saying people are eating less. Government statisticians say the way calorie data is collated will change. Several official surveys, including the National Diet and Nutrition Survey and the Living Costs and Food Survey, suggest the amount of food people eat and buy has gone down in recent decades - while obesity rates continue to rise. But the researchers from the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) say if the calorie counts in these surveys were correct, the UK population would be losing weight overall. The BIT is an independent company but started its life in 2010 as a government policy group known as the "nudge unit" because it was tasked with encouraging people into making better life choices. Its study points to scientific studies including chemical analysis of how much energy people burn, that show people are eating about 1,000 more calories a day per person than surveys would suggest. National spending figures also suggest we are buying more food than we report in surveys, the authors say. They suggest there could be many reasons people are not accurately reporting what they eat, including snacks being difficult to track, a desire to lose weight making them less likely to be honest about their eating habits, and fewer people taking part in the surveys overall. Researchers also looked at the theory that a drop in physical activity was the main reason for rising weight gain. But they say if a reduction in exercise was solely responsible, every single adult nationally would need to have eliminated more than three-and-a-half hours of daily walking since the 1970s to account for the changes. They suggest policymakers trying to curb obesity should focus more on reducing calorie intake than promoting exercise. Lead researcher Michael Hallsworth, director of health at the BIT, said: "Anyone who has been on a treadmill will know what it feels like to look down and see you have burned far fewer calories than you expected. "Physical activity is good for your health and heart but reducing calories is a more effective strategy to combat obesity." Public health expert Prof Alan Maryon-Davis described the report as an "interesting and very soundly argued analysis". He added: "This will send a shudder through the junk-food industry. "Up until now they've been able to point to what was thought to be a decline in the nation's calorie intake and say there's really no need for tougher measures like a sugar tax, fat tax or calorie-labelling on alcoholic drinks. "But this latest analysis rather pulls the rug from under their feet." The Behavioural Insights Team, which is jointly owned by the UK government and charity Nesta, applies insights from academic research in behavioural economics and psychology to public policy and services. Eyup Yildirim of New Jersey and Sinan Narin of Virginia face assault charges, police said. The brawl involving protesters and Turkish security personnel happened during a visit by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan last month. Police called it a "brutal attack on peaceful protesters". Mr Erdogan was in a car parked nearby and witnessed the fighting. Mr Yildirim and Mr Narin were both identified as supporters of Mr Erdogan in a detailed New York Times report into the violence. The newspaper said the men had travelled to Washington to support the Turkish president, but it was unclear if they had a formal connection to his security detail. Video footage showed men in suits charging past police to kick and punch protesters. Two other men have previously been charged. Eleven people were hurt in the fracas, nine of whom needed hospital treatment. The US complained to Turkey about the incident and confirmed that Turkish security guards were involved. However, the Turkish Embassy said protesters had provoked Turkish-Americans who were there to greet the president, and they in turn responded in self-defence. The Swiss succeeded Sepp Blatter on Friday, the same day reforms were passed as the governing body aims to recover from a corruption crisis. Blatter quit last year and was later suspended for six years from football. Gill, 58, who is also on the Uefa executive committee, said: "Fifa has got to rebuild." He added: "I sit on Uefa's finance committee and had that role at the Premier League so I would be prepared to do it at Fifa." The organisation's executive committee is to be expanded to a 36-seat council following the passing of the reforms. Fifa's finance committee must have an independent chairman, while any executive committee member who also sits on the finance committee is required to have a financial qualification. "I am happy to get involved," said Gill, who is a qualified chartered accountant. Gill had worked with Infantino at Europe's governing body since 2013. "What Infantino can do - and what he has done at Uefa - is build a good team around him," Gill added. "It's not just one person doing it. Yes, he's president and he'll set the tone. But, at the same time, he will understand he's got to do it with a team. "He's got a great understanding of what it takes to run Uefa. He can use those skills and translate those on to the world stage now." The blaze broke out at King George V Pumping Station on Thursday at the facility operated by Veolia on behalf of Scottish Water. The blaze affected the external cladding of a storm tank at the site. A Scottish Water spokesman said: "Throughout the incident, the pumping station continued to operate as normal with no impact on local services. "The fire was not a result of any plant failure and a full police and fire investigation is under way into the cause of the blaze." The fire started at about 16:50 and was extinguished at 18:20. The one-vehicle crash on the Glengesh Road in Tempo was reported to police shortly before 10:00 BST. Mr Early was the driver of the car that crashed. Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the crash to contact them. A late goal from Christie Murray gave the Scots a 1-0 win over the Republic of Ireland at Stark's Park. It was the final warm-up match before Euro 2017, with Scotland opening their campaign against England on 19 July. "I had a wee tear in my eye thinking about the games that had gone before and everyone that's been there to help me," said the 35-year-old goalkeeper. "I took myself away before the game and got myself together. I'm glad it's done now and we can focus on the Euros." Scotland had to wait until the 85th minute for substitute Murray to head in the game's only goal. "It was a great result, Ireland are a really tough team to play against that's why we picked them," added Fay, who made her first international appearance in 1998. "It was important to show that we can be patient and that we have tenacity and we can grind out a result if we need to. "We knew they were going to crowd the box and we knew it was going to be physical. They are a tall team and they use that as a weapon, we were just clear that if it comes in (to the penalty area) we get it out." Scotland also meet Portugal and Spain in the Netherlands in Group D when they make their debut at a major finals. The friendly victory in Fife was head coach Anna Signeul's farewell appearance in Scotland since she is stepping down to take up the Finland job after Euro 2017. And Fay was full of praise for the Swede, who has led Scotland since 2005. "She has galvanised women's football in Scotland and she's managed to motivate, inspire and empower people to get more out of themselves - not just players but coaches and volunteers," she said. "It will be hard to see her go when we play that last match."

Ex-Barcelona midfielder Guardiola had a trial with City in the summer of 2005 but then-manager Pearce opted not to sign him. Guardiola, 45, will replace current City boss Manuel Pellegrini in June. "If I knew how good he would be as a manager I would have given him my job," Pearce told BBC Radio 5 live. City, whose squad at the time featured the likes of David James, Trevor Sinclair, Joey Barton and Darius Vassell, finished the 2005-06 Premier League season in 15th place. "He trained with us for a few days," said Pearce. "He had been playing in the Middle East, and was looking for a contract. "Smashing fella but, back then, I didn't realise he would be a top manager. We didn't have anything on the playing side but top man, top manager, what an acquisition for City." Guardiola, who was 34 years old in 2005 and eyeing a return to European football after leaving Al-Ahli in Dubai, had made more than 350 appearances for Barcelona between 1990 and 2001, winning the European Cup and six La Liga titles. He went on to play briefly for Mexican side Dorados before taking charge of Barcelona B and later Barcelona. He won 14 trophies in four years at the Nou Camp between 2008 and 2012. He has since won the Bundesliga twice in two seasons in charge of Bayern Munich.

Manchester City turned down the chance to sign their future manager Pep Guardiola as a player 11 years ago, according to Stuart Pearce.

England's cricketers beat a Don Bradman-inspired Australia in 1932-33 by using aggressive tactics, an approach current England coach Eddie Jones wants his side to copy. "He's shown us clips to reinforce his point," prop Dan Cole told BBC Sport. England, who have never won a Test series in Australia, play the first of three Tests on Saturday in Brisbane. Cole said: "Australia had people like Bradman, and if you played their game they could quite easily win. "The English adapted their game, played physical with the Australians, and ended up winning the series, which is the way Eddie would like this series to go." The England management are considering selecting Maro Itoje in the back row with Joe Launchbury at lock in Brisbane. Cole said England must utilise their traditional forward power if they are to succeed down under. Media playback is not supported on this device "We have to play our own style; we need to play to our strengths," the 29-year-old said. "If you play Australia trying to play the Australia way, you'll lose." The Wallabies won 33-13 when the teams met in the World Cup in October - a defeat that led to England's elimination from the tournament - with the England scrum enduring a torrid evening. Cole said Australia "put us under a lot of pressure at Twickenham" and that England "need our set-piece to function". Centre Jonathan Joseph, 25, said a series victory in Australia would surpass England's Six Nations Grand Slam triumph this year. He told BBC Sport: "It's a massive challenge. They are a great side - second in the world - and we want to be challenging the best. "We have a great opportunity here and hopefully we can do everyone proud." Listen to BBC 5 live on Wednesday at 21:30 BST for a preview of England v Australia, as well as Wales' series in New Zealand and Ireland's in South Africa. Guests include England World Cup winners Matt Dawson and Paul Grayson, as well as former All Black captain Justin Marshall.

England are preparing for the Test series in Australia by watching footage of cricket's infamous Bodyline Ashes.

There was no cure and its origins were a mystery. But one theory began to surface - that it was the product of secret US military research at the Fort Detrick Laboratory. What was the source for this piece of fake news? The answer was the KGB, the Soviet intelligence service. "The Aids disinformation campaign was one of the most notorious and one of the most successful Soviet disinformation campaigns during the Cold War," argues Thomas Boghardt, a historian at the US Army Center of Military History who has studied the case in detail. KGB political officers in the field were tasked with spending up to a quarter of their time on what were called "active measures". Mr Boghardt believes the KGB station in New York first came up with the idea, which played into distrust in US institutions and rumours of covert biological warfare programmes. "Intelligence meant not only gathering but using - or weaponising - that intelligence for influence operations," he explains. The aim of these "active measures" was to sow confusion and distrust either within a country or between allies. He says that in 1980, the Soviets spent an astonishing $3bn (£2.4m) a year on active measures. It was not the only time the KGB successfully pushed a conspiracy theory. Within weeks of the assassination of President Kennedy, it tried to circulate stories of official CIA involvement. It even covertly financed a book on the subject published in America within a year of the killing. Many attempts at disinformation were amateurish and failed. The main challenge was crafting something plausible. Those that succeeded either blended fact with fiction or worked with the grain of existing conspiracies. When it came to targeting Britain, Moscow had help in the shape of former MI6 officer and KGB spy, Kim Philby. "He would provide advice on how to do it," General Oleg Kalugin - formerly of the KGB and Philby's ex-colleague - told me. "He said 'this would not work, that sounds too Soviet'." Typically this would involve taking genuine documents from Western countries which spies had stolen and then adding in a few fake paragraphs to twist the meaning. "We preferred to work on genuine documents with some additions and changes, and Philby in that sense was [the] number one guy," says Kalugin, now based in the US. In the 1980s, the US tried to counter the tide of KGB disinformation by setting up an "Active Measures Working Group", with experts from across government agencies. "The only way you could counter active measures was by coming back with the truth," explains David Major, a former FBI official who served on the group. Gordon Corera presented Subversion: West on BBC Radio 4 on Friday 31 March at 11:00 BST. You can listen to it, and the previous episode Subversion: East on the BBC Radio 4 website. It would try and identify fake stories and then advise the media about their source. "We were saying which one of these stories turns out to be fake news." Major says. It tried to counter one claim that Americans were going to South America, ostensibly to adopt children but actually to harvest their body parts. The challenge in the Cold War was getting out a story. In the case of the Aids virus, it was planted in a small journal in India which was funded by the KGB. The story - on 17 July 1983 - warned that Aids might invade India and was the product of US experiments, with an anonymous US scientist linking it to Fort Detrick. Initially, there was not much pick-up. But two years later, Soviet news outlets ran the story, citing the Indian reports. That meant they could claim they were not the source. The story then spread rapidly over the next few years and can still be found in the wilder edges of the internet. The KGB placed great emphasis on not just recruiting people who had access to secrets but people who could influence opinion, so called "agents of influence". "The Soviet and Soviet Bloc intelligence agencies were very good at cultivating contacts with journalists for instance, or intellectuals, who sometimes knowingly and sometimes unknowingly would be used as launching platforms for fake or leaked stories," explains Prof Thomas Rid of King's College, London. Sometimes documents would also be mailed anonymously to journalists. But did active measures stop at the end of the Cold War? "The Soviet Union may have dissolved in 1990-91 but Soviet intelligence stayed virtually intact both in terms of its organisation and the goals it pursued - and that includes active measures," says Mr Boghardt. There were also new opportunities thanks to technology. "In the 1990s when the Internet slowly emerged, it was really a no-brainer to start to use a platform that made it a lot easier to leak anonymously, to give information anonymously to the public," argues Prof Rid. The KGB did allegedly try and influence American elections in the past - for instance by pushing the "Reagan means War" line in the 1984 US election - and the US intelligence community believes that it did so again in 2016 through a wide-ranging influence operation. This included hacking into organisations like the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign officials' emails and feeding information to websites. "What we've seen during the Cold War, somewhat counter-intuitively, is artisanal active measures - very labour intensive at the front end, down to using white gloves when you sign the letter in order to avoid fingerprints, the letter that you then mail anonymously," says Prof Rid. "It really required good tradecraft. But what we see in 2016 is the opposite: lazy industrial scale hacking and dumping." The leaking of real information is different from the creation of fake news stories, but they too are alleged to have appeared in 2016 although it is harder to trace their origins in the online world. In the current environment, the term fake news has taken on many meanings. Russian intelligence's active measures may well be part of a chaotic mix. But in a world in which accusations of fake news and conspiracy are bandied around freely, even exposing such measures can be swept up in a whirlwind of claim and counter-claim. The result is confusion. And more divisions which any future active measures can then exploit. Gordon Corera presented Subversion: West on BBC Radio 4 on Friday 31 March at 11:00 BST. You can listen to it and the previous episode Subversion: East on the BBC Radio 4 website. The Interior Ministry said it had deployed almost 10,000 police and 48 dogs to track down the fugitive leader of the Sinaloa cartel. Mexico is also co-operating with neighbouring Guatemala and the United States to increase border controls. Guzman's escape from a top-security jail through a 1.5km-long tunnel is a major embarrassment for officials. It is the second time the drug cartel leader has escaped from a top-security Mexican jail. Should drug lord Guzman have been extradited to the US? More than 100 roadblocks have been set up on highways across Mexico and 100,000 leaflets with mug shots of Guzman have been distributed at toll booths. Airports have been put on alert and security personnel have been told to search any private flights taking off. Police are also searching hotels and hospitals for any trace of Guzman. The government is offering a 60m peso ($3.8m; £2.4m) reward for information leading to his capture. On Wednesday, Mexican officials said they were also co-operating with the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the FBI. The DEA reportedly played a key role in Guzman's 2014 re-capture, providing intelligence which led Mexican security forces to the apartment where he was hiding, in his native Sinaloa state in north-western Mexico. The Mexican interior minister has also held meetings with Guatemalan officials to prevent Guzman slipping into the neighbouring country. In 1993, Guzman was arrested just south of Mexico's border with Guatemala. Saturday was the second time Guzman managed to escape from a maximum-security jail. In 2001 he broke out of Puente Grande prison, reportedly hiding in a laundry cart. He was on the run for 13 years before being re-arrested in February last year. The scale of the tunnel through which he fled on Saturday raised suspicions that he had help from prison staff. Three senior prison officials, including the director of the jail, have been dismissed. The escape tunnel, which leads to a building outside the prison perimeter, is more than 1.5km (1 mile) long and measures 1.70m (5ft 6in) in height. Security officials said it could have taken a year to build. On Wednesday, prison officials allowed journalists to inspect the cell from which he fled. Each journalist was only given two minutes inside the cell. One-hundred-and-twenty seconds are enough to raise questions about how this escape was possible. How could it be that no one heard or saw anything? Inside the cell suspicion mounts that you don't get out of here without accomplices on the inside. Underneath the shower is the hole where the tunnel starts, but it's so deep and dark you can't really see anything. At two sides of the hole are 1.2m-high walls which were meant to shield Guzman's privacy while he was showering. The security camera could not see past these walls and it was behind them that the man who is now being sought by thousands of police escaped. The Sinaloa cartel, which Guzman leads, is one of Mexico's most powerful drug gangs, responsible for smuggling huge quantities of cocaine, heroin and methamphetamines to the United States. Following his escape, the Chicago Crime Commission has again declared Guzman "Public Enemy Number One". Security officials in the US and Mexico fear that the longer Guzman remains free the stronger his cartel will get. In recent years, the Sinaloa cartel had lost some of its power to other rival gangs. The collision happened at 04:40 BST on the coastbound carriageway between junctions 8 and 9. An Audi TT, two articulated lorries, a Vauxhall Vivaro and a Fiat Ducato were involved. In a separate collision on Wednesday on the same stretch of road a pedestrian died and the carriageway was closed for several hours. Kent Police have appealed for witnesses to both collisions. Ministers had to amend their plans after criticism from opposition MPs, including over the time for scrutiny. A final set of proposals will now be drafted, with a delayed vote to be held in September. During the seven-hour debate, Conservative MPs backed the government's approach but there was opposition from Labour and the SNP. The government wants to change Commons rules known as standing orders to give MPs from English constituencies a "decisive say" on bills that apply exclusively to England. It has proposed an additional "parliamentary stage" to allow English MPs to scrutinise legislation without the involvement of Scottish MPs, saying it is a matter of fairness. England's MPs would be asked to accept or veto legislation only affecting England before it passed to a vote of all UK MPs at its third and final reading in the Commons. This means England's MPs could block any unwanted policies from being introduced in England - but could not force proposals through unless the whole House agreed. A similar process would be used where matters covered only England and Wales - with Welsh MPs included. The proposals will, ministers say, address the long-standing anomaly - known as the West Lothian Question - by which Scottish MPs can vote on issues such as health and education affecting England, but the House of Commons has no say on similar matters relating to Scotland, where such policies are devolved. During the Commons debate, Commons Leader Chris Grayling told MPs all laws that affected government spending throughout Britain would be voted on by all MPs. He said the government's plans had been republished to make this "crystal clear". Defending his plans, he added: "We intend to provide more powers to Scotland, more powers to Wales, we intend to devolve to Northern Ireland the powers in areas like corporation tax, but ultimately we need to be fair to the English and that is what this is about." Former SNP leader Alex Salmond did not accept that Scottish MPs would not be locked out of decisions affecting their grants. He gave the example of a Commons vote on tuition fees in England, which he said could have an impact on the amount of funding Scotland receives. Shadow Commons leader Angela Eagle said she was pleased that the government "has at least seen a bit of sense in retreating from its original intention to make us vote today on these complex and controversial proposals". A vote on the government's proposal had been due to take place this week. But ministers were forced to rethink their plans after they came under sustained attack from SNP and Labour MPs unhappy at the government's handling of the matter. A redraft of the proposals was published on Tuesday. The changes in them proved minor and sought only to clarify the position concerning Budget measures. The debate came after a row over plans to change fox hunting laws in England and Wales, with a vote being axed after the SNP said it would oppose the move. The SNP had previously said it would not vote on issues affecting England and Wales only. But it said its change of heart was partly due to the government trying to make Scottish MPs "second-class citizens" in the Commons through its "English votes for English laws" plans. Prime Minister David Cameron said the SNP's position was "entirely opportunistic". Tilly Confectionery, which is based in Larbert, near Falkirk, will use the funds provided by HSBC to launch a new export drive and buy new production equipment. Tilly said the move was in response to increasing demand for its products. The firm produces the Mrs Tilly's range of Scottish tablet, fudge and macaroon. It aims to increase its footprint in Canada immediately, following "significant" export growth to a number of European markets, including France, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland and Poland. In March, Tilly announced it had secured a contract to launch a range of fudge products across the French market. Blair Paterson, managing director of Mrs Tilly's Confectionery, said: "My parents founded the business in the family kitchen in 1997 and have worked extremely hard to make it the success it has become today. "We have ambitions to grow the business and take Mrs Tilly's fudge and tablet to an even wider international audience." In 2014, Mrs Tilly's sold more than two million bars of tablet and fudge and developed their international sales to about 3% of turnover. This figure is expected to rise to 10% by the end of 2016, with turnover projected to grow to £5m within the next five years. The company currently employs 33 people. The latest statistics suggest 40 people a night were sleeping on streets or rough ground in the county last autumn. The situation in Cornwall is being blamed on high house prices, lower wages and unstable work. Only Westminster and Hillingdon in London had higher numbers or rough sleepers. The Department for Communities and Local Government figures are based on information given to Cornwall Council by agencies supporting homeless people. Alistair Young, interim chief executive at Coastline Housing in the county, described them as "the tip of the iceberg" and said there could be many more rough sleepers in Cornwall. He said 90% of the rough sleepers it helped were local people, who were "much less able to deal with the shocks to their lives that cause a risk to being homeless than in other parts of the country". He added: "The housing is expensive; renting is expensive as well. Coupled with that, wages are a lot lower in Cornwall and a lot of people are in very short-term unstable work." The average South West house price was £278,378 compared to £286,133 nationally, according to Rightmove's April House Price Index. Average wages in Cornwall stood at £14,300 a year, making it the UK's poorest region, according to statistics produced last year by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. One rough sleeper in Kehellend, who only wanted to be named as Paul, said he had been "turned out" of his family home after his marriage broke down and he developed depression. "My whole world had collapsed," he said. Paul said he planned to return to work once his health improved. He advised others in his position to "get to the day centres, use their resources and take care of yourself". Research for Co-operative Funeralcare has highlighted the difficulties people have experienced when trying to deal with a loved one's internet identities. The firm suggests people could put the account details in a sealed letter to their executors. It comes after Facebook this month unveiled legacy settings for its users. Facebook was following in the footsteps of Google and other technology companies when it added the new setting that gives people the option of having their account permanently deleted, or some aspects passed to the control of a friend or relative when they die. A Co-operative survey found that while almost all bank customers now have access to their accounts online, three out of four have not made any arrangements for the details to be passed on. The poll of more than 2,000 adults also discovered that almost 80% of those who attempted to manage online bank, utility, shopping and social media accounts following a death said they had experienced problems. Only 16% of people, however, said they wanted their next of kin to have access to their social media accounts, with around the same number saying they would like them to stay in touch with their online contacts. The Co-operative said that while it was suggesting people may like to include their account information in a sealed letter to their executors, the details should never be included in a will, as it could become a public document after their death. Sam Kershaw, director of operations for Co-operative Funeralcare, said: "Conversations about end of life are never easy. However, as we increasingly live and manage our lives online, communicating with a loved one about the accounts you hold and what you would want to happen to them may greatly help should they ever need to access, manage or close accounts on your behalf." But there has never been a Speaker's spouse like Sally Bercow. Whether posing in a bed-sheet in front of Parliament, appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, being pictured in the tabloids on a raucous night out or sending provocative comments to thousands of followers on her now defunct Twitter account, Mrs Bercow has rarely been out of the headlines. Her husband John holds one of the most important jobs in the Houses of Parliament - keeping MPs in order and deciding who gets to speak in debates. A former Conservative MP, he is meant to be politically neutral. His wife's vocal support for the Labour Party has been an occasional source of tension with Tory MPs, some of whom have never hidden their dislike of the couple and are convinced the Speaker's neutrality has been compromised. She has also faced criticism that her love of the limelight has undermined the dignity of his office. Mrs Bercow has always insisted she is her own woman and her husband's job will not prevent her from speaking her mind. Her husband has also defended his wife's right to express herself, once telling reporters: "The obligation of impartiality does not apply to my wife who is not my chattel." The daughter of a builder's merchant, Sally Bercow was born in Sutton, Surrey, in 1969. When her father, Ronald Ilman, died, she used her inheritance to pay her own way through exclusive private school Marlborough College, in Wiltshire, but later claimed she never fitted in with her well-heeled classmates. She dropped out of Oxford University after two years and embarked on a career in public relations in the City of London, and then in advertising. They were, by her own account, wild years. She has confessed to a drink problem, telling one reporter: "I had no stop button." "I was an argumentative drunk, picking arguments with my bosses over stupid things. Plus, I'd lose my judgement and put myself in danger... I'd get into unlicensed minicabs in the early hours. All the things we'd tell our daughters not to do." She has also confessed to having had a number of alcohol-fuelled flings: "It was all very ladette - work hard, play hard." She first met John Bercow at an Oxford University Conservative Party event in 1989 - she defected to New Labour in 2007 - but they did not marry until 2002, by which time he was MP for Buckingham. She put her drink-fuelled years behind her but not her ambitions to get into politics, standing unsuccessfully for Labour in the St James Ward of Westminster City Council in the 2010 local elections. The Bercows, who live in a large grace-and-favour apartment in the Palace of Westminster, known as Speaker's House, have three children, one of whom is autistic. She is a patron of the Ambitious for Autism charity. In February 2011, she shocked the Westminster establishment by telling the London Evening Standard Mr Bercow had become more sexually attractive since becoming Commons Speaker. Pictured wearing only a sheet, Mrs Bercow said it was "sexy" living in an official residence near Big Ben and that power was an "aphrodisiac". But the reaction to that interview was nothing compared to the storm of criticism a few months later when it was revealed she was to be a contestant in Celebrity Big Brother - in defiance of the wishes of husband John. She admitted John did not want her to take part in the show but she said had she wanted to raise money for the autism charity and "stick two fingers up to the establishment". She was the first to be evicted, after being nominated by fellow housemate, former pop star Kerry Katona. "A lot of people didn't want me to go in because it's not something that 'The Speaker's Wife' does," she told Big Brother presenter Brian Dowling, but she had no regrets and raised £100,000 for charity. By now more than 50,000 people were following Mrs Bercow on Twitter, which proved the perfect medium for someone with opinions to spare. But in November 2012, she was forced to suspend her account when she sent a message - "Why is Lord McAlpine trending? *innocent face*" - at the height of speculation about the identity of a former Tory politician who had been, wrongly as it turned out, linked to child abuse. A few weeks later, she found herself in hot water again when she named the alleged victim in a child abduction court case, whose identity is legally protected. When her mistake was pointed out, she said: "Apparently, I shouldn't have tweeted that. You need a law degree to be on Twitter nowadays. It's ridiculous." Now she is facing a damages bill after losing a libel battle with Lord McAlpine over the "innocent face" message. She was not in the High Court court to hear the judgement. She said in a statement that she regretted her tweet but was "disappointed" by the ruling. 26 March 2013 Last updated at 21:44 GMT Ilkeston is one of three towns where a new station is "most likely" to be built, according to Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin. The proposed £5m railway station would form part of Northern Rail's Sheffield to Nottingham route, which includes Alfreton and Langley Mill. A final decision is expected in May. If approved, the station could open in two years' time. Uncapped full-back Dollman, 32, suffered a knee injury in Exeter's Premiership final win over Wasps, while prop Lee, 24, also has a knee problem. Scarlets fly-half or full-back Rhys Patchell and Ospreys prop Rhodri Jones have been added to caretaker coach Robin McBryde's squad. Wales fly out on 7 June to play Tonga on 17 June and Samoa on 24 June. "Samson Lee unfortunately his knee flared up against Munster [in the Pro12 final] and it hasn't settled down enough for us to take him to the next level of training," McBryde said. "With Phil Dollman, the last I heard he was awaiting a consultation following a significant injury to his knee... he's out of the tour." Dollman had seemed set to earn a long-awaited first cap after a fine season for English champions Exeter. "The time it [the injury] occurred and the manner in which it happened, it was a bitter-sweet day for Phil having spoken to him. "The heights of winning, being successful and scoring a try, and then the injury obviously it's tough." Wales played a one-off warm-up game against Welsh Premiership side RGC 1404 last Friday, winning 88-14 at Parc Eirias. Harlequins centre Jamie Roberts captained an experimental Wales team in Colwyn Bay. Ben Butler is accused of killing Ellie Butler at their family home in Sutton, south-west London in October. A jury heard how Ellie lived in a "toxic" environment due to Mr Butler's volatile temper, while partner Jennie Gray would do anything to please him. The 36-year-old denies murder and a separate charge of child cruelty. Ellie's mother Ms Gray, 36, also denies a child cruelty charge relating to a shoulder injury. She has admitted perverting the course of justice by giving a false account of what she did on the day Ellie died. More on this story and other news from London Ellie died 11 months after the couple got her back from care. She was returned to them after Mr Butler was cleared on appeal of assaulting her as a six-week-old baby. A post-mortem examination revealed she suffered skull fractures from at least two severe impacts. The Old Bailey was shown handwritten letters and prayers seized by police at the family home in Westover Close following Ellie's death. One "letter of prayer" found inside the bedroom at the couple's home read: "Make him stop being angry, hateful and violent." Another read: "Please don't let Ben leave me but make him learn to like me. "Stop violence and make him WANT ME and be there at the birth if I have a baby boy." In a letter from Mr Butler to Ms Gray, he asked her to "try harder with your mouth as it's a trigger for me". He also wrote: "I would be lost without you." A note entitled "Ellie's behaviour" outlined 10 points including: "lying, not doing as she's told, does not listen or pay attention, constantly answers back, argues, constantly manipulative, feel you can't trust her, acts like a child prior to her years, we feel she is aware she is doing this". The trial continues. The Information Commissioner has given it 35 days to issue a fresh response to a challenge for the research to be made public. The government had argued that research carried out by accountants Deloitte was not in its possession to publish. But the Information Commissioner found that claim to be "not plausible". The research fed into the government's decision on how to set hourly rates for nursery providers offering the free 30-hours nursery place entitlement. This pre-election pledge by the Conservatives to offer places to working parents of three- and four-year-olds in England is due to come into force next September. The rates were revealed in the review of childcare costs, which was published last year. There were more than 50 references to the Deloitte research in that government review, leading the Pre-school Learning Alliance to ask the government to publish the research. When the government refused, it took the case to the Information Commissioner. The alliance has been arguing that the average hourly rates for the scheme of £4.88 per hour for four-year-olds and £5.39 for two-year-olds are too low and would make the early years sector unsustainable. And it argued the Deloitte research was key to setting these rates and therefore should be published. In its ruling, the commissioner said it was "unlikely that the DfE would commit to investing over £1bn more per year on childcare funding by 2019-2020" as a result of research it had not seen. He added that if the research was held by Deloitte, then it was held on behalf of the department, and therefore subject to freedom of information requests. Pre-school Learning Alliance chief executive Neil Leitch said: "We are very pleased that the Information Commissioner's Office has ruled in our favour and agreed that the Department for Education's argument that it doesn't hold research that it itself commissioned, and subsequently used, does not wash. "The research commissioned by the DfE to Deloitte played an integral role in its review of childcare delivery costs, and by extension, the development of the new early years funding rates due to come into effect next year. "As such, this information should be made public and open to scrutiny, especially given that so many in the sector do not believe that the new funding rates are in fact enough to cover the cost of delivering funded places. "Given that the ICO was unequivocal in its judgement, we hope that the DfE will now make this research available to us without any further delay." The DfE said: "We are currently considering the next steps and will make a decision in due course." Mr Tsvangirai said Wednesday's presidential poll was "null and void". The largest group of election observers described the vote as "seriously compromised" and said up to a million Zimbabweans were prevented from voting. Meanwhile, first official results from national assembly elections show Mr Mugabe's party taking an early lead. Zanu-PF won 25 of 28 seats announced, although they were mostly in Mr Mugabe's rural strongholds, correspondents say. Mr Mugabe's party, which is claiming a victory, has denied accusations of vote-rigging, saying the voting went smoothly. The 89-year-old president is running for a seventh term. Voters were choosing a president, 210 lawmakers and local councillors and the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has five days to declare who won the poll. Extra police units, some in riot gear, have been deployed in the capital, Harare. Legal challenges are now likely to follow, but much will depend on whether Zimbabwe's neighbours endorse the poll, says the BBC's Andrew Harding. Speaking at the headquarters of his Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party in Harare, Mr Tsvangirai said: "Our conclusion is that this has been a huge farce. By Andrew HardingAfrica correspondent "The credibility of this election has been marred by administrative and legal violations which affected the legitimacy of its outcome. "It's a sham election that does not reflect the will of the people." Some international observers have praised the conduct of the election. But the largest group of domestic observers, the Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN), said the voting was compromised. ZESN chairman Solomon Zwana told the BBC the organisation remained "concerned about some cases of irregularities that have occurred in some areas". The ZESN said potential voters were much more likely to be turned away from polling stations in urban areas, where support for Mr Tsvangirai is strong, than in President Mugabe's rural strongholds. It claims that up to a million of the country's 6.4 million eligible voters were prevented from casting their ballots. Zanu-PF's senior members were already celebrating victory. "We have romped [to victory] in a very emphatic manner," one member, who asked not to be named, told AFP news agency. Zanu-PF's information secretary, Rugare Gumbo, said observers from several countries were all satisfied with the conduct of the election. "I don't understand where this thing of saying the election was a farce is coming from," he told the BBC. Britain said it was too early to comment on the outcome of the election, but noted the "peaceful atmosphere". A spokesperson for the Foreign Office said it was "concerned by the late publication of the electoral roll and reports of large numbers of voters who were turned away". If no candidate in the presidential vote gains 50% of the ballots, a run-off will be held on 11 September. Zanu-PF and the MDC have shared an uneasy coalition government since 2009 under a deal brokered to end the deadly violence that erupted after a disputed presidential poll the previous year. Media playback is not supported on this device The two teams will meet at Wembley on 11 November, the day when the United Kingdom remembers its war dead. World governing body Fifa reiterated its ban on political, religious or commercial messages on shirts. "Before they start telling us what to do, they jolly well ought to sort their own house out," said Mrs May. "Our football players want to recognise and respect those who have given their lives for our safety and security - I think it is absolutely right they should be able to do so." Fifa has been plagued by corruption allegations in recent years. Sepp Blatter's 17-year reign as president ended in December, when he was suspended for eight years from all football-related activities following an ethics investigation. His ban was later reduced to six years. Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, Mrs May said the wearing of poppies was a matter for the English and Scottish Football Associations to resolve, but there was a "clear message" from the House of Commons that "we want our players to be able to wear those poppies". FA chairman Greg Clarke told ITV news that England's football governing body was "negotiating in good faith with Fifa to try and find a solution". "My personal opinion, and as that of chair of the FA, is that of course we should wear poppies," said Clarke. "We are commemorating millions of people who gave their lives in wars over the years. They, and the people who lost relatives, deserve that. That is our plan. "We are balancing respect for the fallen and their families with respect for the governing body. "There will be poppies at Wembley." The Scottish Football Association (SFA) said on Tuesday that Fifa had turned down a request from England and Scotland for players to wear armbands in next Friday's World Cup qualifier. The two football associations hope to change Fifa's mind, and want to know what the potential punishments could be should they flout the rule. Former Culture, Media and Sport Secretary John Whittingdale MP says the England team should wear poppies - even if a points deduction is possible. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live's Emma Barnett, he said: "For [Fifa] to try and brand the poppy as a political symbol shows a total misunderstanding. I think there are a number of reasons why we are already profoundly unhappy with Fifa's behaviour and conduct and this adds to that list." Fifa has not indicated whether a points penalty would be under consideration as a potential punishment. The Football Association of Wales has also written to Fifa requesting permission to wear poppies on armbands during their game against Serbia in Cardiff on 12 November. A motion has been lodged at the Scottish Parliament calling for the ban to be scrapped. Scottish Conservative MSP Maurice Golden said: "It's obvious for all to see that wearing a poppy to commemorate those who made the ultimate sacrifice is not a political statement. "Fifa should overturn this bizarre decision immediately. The fans, players and football associations on both sides of the border want to be able to wear the poppy with pride. "I hope MSPs across all parties back this motion and call for an urgent rethink." England are top of their 2018 World Cup qualifying group with seven points from three games. Scotland are fourth with four points. The top team qualifies automatically for the finals in Russia, with the second-placed side possibly entering a play-off. Wales are third in Group D, behind Serbia and the Republic of Ireland. Health officials want to provide additional services next to Rhyl's Royal Alexandra Hospital such as a same day care centre for minor ailments. They hope it alleviates demands on Glan Clwyd Hospital in nearby Bodelwyddan as well as other community hospitals. The plans are on show at Rhyl Library on Saturday and the town's White Rose Shopping Centre on Tuesday. The outline business case has to be approved by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board in January before it will be submitted to the Welsh Government. Work on a new hospital could begin in 2018 should the plans get planning consent and final approval. David Gilroy, 50, was told by appeal court judges in Edinburgh on Wednesday he could not have his case reviewed by the UK Supreme Court. He was jailed at the High Court in Edinburgh for life in April 2012 for murdering Ms Pilley in May 2010. Gilroy denies killing his ex-lover and says he has been wrongfully convicted. On Wednesday, Gilroy's legal team argued police broke the law when they were investigating their client in the days following Ms Pilley's disappearance. Defence solicitor advocate John Scott QC wanted judges Lord Carloway, Lord Brodie and Lord Marnoch to refer the case to the Supreme Court in London to rule on whether the police acted illegally. However, the judges refused and told Mr Scott they were not convinced a miscarriage of justice had taken place. Speaking afterwards, Ms Pilley's family welcomed the verdict. Her mother, Sylvia Pilley, said: "Justice has been done. We will never, ever come to terms with it. We are just in the same place." The hearing at the Court of Criminal Appeal comes 12 months after Gilroy was convicted at the High Court for murdering Ms Pilley. The office worker, whose body has never been recovered, went missing in Edinburgh following the May Day holiday that year. Prosecutors believe Gilroy attacked Ms Pilley and transported her remains in the back of his car across Scotland. They think her body was dumped in a grave somewhere near the Rest and Be Thankful beauty spot in Argyll. During the investigation in the days following her disappearance, officers interviewed Gilroy as he was her colleague and former lover. He was originally interviewed as a witness because officers thought Ms Pilley was alive. However, it became clear to officers Gilroy had murdered Ms Pilley and he was arrested and charged. At a hearing at the Appeal Court in December 2012, Mr Scott argued that officers had broken the law when they had interviewed Gilroy as a witness. Mr Scott argued that evidence showed that detectives always suspected Gilroy of committing a crime - Mr Scott said that they should have told him he was a suspect and cautioned him that he didn't have to answer their questions. Mr Scott claimed that by speaking to Gilroy as a witness, they were able to extract evidence from him, which the Crown used to secure a conviction against him. The decision was made after Azaria's parents presented new evidence to try to clear their names. After the eight week-old baby went missing, they were charged with her disappearance. Her mother was convicted of her murder. She was released when evidence matched the dingo story but doubts lingered. They have long argued that the open verdict recorded after an earlier review of the case left room for doubt about Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton's innocence. ''Obviously we are relieved and delighted to come to the end of this saga,'' Ms Chamberlain-Creighton told reporters outside the courthouse. ''No longer will Australia be able to say that dingoes are not dangerous,'' she added. ''We live in a beautiful country but it is dangerous.'' Speaking after her, Mr Michael Chamberlain, the baby's father, said ''the truth is out''. He was with his ex-wife at the Darwin courthouse for the verdict. ''Now, some healing and a chance to put our daughter's spirit to rest.'' The Northern Territory coroner Elizabeth Morris delivered an emotional verdict, asking baby Azaria's parents to accept her ''sincere sympathy'' for the loss. ''Time does not remove the pain and sadness of the death of a child,'' Ms Morris said. She added that a death certificate was now available for the parents and the final findings could be found on the coroners office website. Ms Chamberlain-Creighton has campaigned tirelessly to have dingoes officially blamed for the death of her child, says the BBC's Duncan Kennedy. Earlier this year, the Chamberlains gave evidence to a coroner in Darwin recording a series of other attacks by dingoes on humans. Virtually ever since Azaria vanished from her tent near Uluru (Ayers Rock) in 1980, Australia has been engrossed by the question of whether she was taken by a dingo. In 1982, Ms Chamberlain-Creighton was found guilty of her baby's murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, while Mr Chamberlain was found guilty of being an accessory. Both were later exonerated on all charges, after the chance discovery of a fragment of Azaria's clothing in an area dotted with dingo lairs. It was a case that divided Australians and was even turned into the film A Cry In The Dark, starring Meryl Streep. Three previous coroner's inquests proved inconclusive. The elusive artist composed the mural at Bridge Farm Primary after it recently named a school house after him. It was discovered as teachers returned from the half-term break along with a letter saying "it's always easier to get forgiveness than permission". A spokesman for Banksy confirmed to BBC News that the artwork is genuine. Head teacher Geoff Mason intends to preserve the mural and has "no plans to sell it". He said the surprise addition to the school's surroundings is "inspirational and aspirational" for his pupils. BBC iWonder: How did Banksy become the world's most famous vandal? Sone Aluko poked home the only goal of the game to lift the Cottagers into the play-off places. The scrambled finish ended Rotherham's three-season stay in the second-tier. Fulham keeper David Button had earlier denied Lee Frecklington and Jon Taylor, while Danny Ward also went close. Ward wasted the best chance of the first half, sending a free header wide, while Taylor was foiled moments after Chris Martin wasted Fulham's first real chance. The goal which inflicted an eighth straight defeat on Rotherham, and sent them down, was an untidy one, with defender Darnell Fisher and goalkeeper Lewis Price initially blocking efforts before Aluko finished from close range. Fulham's first win in three games was enough to move them above Sheffield Wednesday after the Owls were held to a 1-1 draw against Barnsley earlier in the day. Since a 2-1 defeat by Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield on 27 September, Rotherham have been bottom of the Championship. In total, the Millers have spent just 26 days of the 239 this season outside the relegation places. Caretaker boss Paul Warne was the man to oversee relegation, having taken charge of the club in November after Kenny Jackett - who succeeded Alan Stubbs - resigned after just 39 days at the helm. Rotherham interim boss Paul Warne: "There's a little bit of embarrassment. I took the reins a few months ago and I haven't been good enough to get the results to keep us up and that is on my head. "The performances have been okay at times but we haven't got that strength in depth. But that's my fault, it's not anyone else's. "I don't think anyone thought before today that we would stay up, we weren't going to win eight on the spin. So to have relegated next to our name isn't too much of a shock." Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic: "It is a great step for us towards where we want to be. "It was a very tough game. I am pleased because I have missed some 1-0 wins, so to get the goal and then finish with a clean sheet is pleasing and it is important news for us. "We tried to be focused on our job and thinking about what we can do. "We weren't thinking about Sheffield Wednesday or about other teams. Our focus is on us in this crucial part of the competition and getting as many points as is possible for us." Match ends, Rotherham United 0, Fulham 1. Second Half ends, Rotherham United 0, Fulham 1.

The previous European Tour record for players tied for the halfway lead was eight at the 1997 Scandinavian Masters. Welshman Dredge, the overnight leader, carded a level-par 72, while Englishman Sullivan hit a second round of 68. Compatriot Jordan Smith's 66 was the joint-best of the day and he is in a group of seven players one shot back. Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Nacho Elvira, Jorge Campillo, Thomas Aiken, Jaco van Zyl, Wang Jeunghun and Mikko Korhonen are the other players to hold a share of the lead, while the entire field is separated by just six shots. The last time nine players were tied on top was after the first round of the 1997 Wales Open, but this was the first time in Tour history so many led after 36 holes. Sullivan started his round from the 10th and hit 10 straight pars before four birdies in the last eight holes moved him up the leaderboard. "It was a frustrating start to the day," Sullivan told Sky Sports. "I thought my first nine was the one you could really get going on to provide a platform into the back nine, but it didn't really happen. "I just did not convert the putts but my caddie told me just to be patient on this nine and finally the putts started to drop." Currently, no fee is charged in Northwich, Winsford and Frodsham and parking is free in Chester and Ellesmere Port after 15:00. Cheshire West and Chester Council said introducing "modest" charges would also "reduce congestion and pollution". Local businesses have claimed parking charges would hit their trade. Thousands of residents have signed petitions against the introduction of charges. The proposals could also see charges imposed in a number of villages, including Helsby, Little Sutton and Tarporley, though the council has rejected a suggestion by consultants to charge blue badge holders to park. The Labour-run council has pledged to "improve the quality" of its car parks and introduce new technology as part of the plans. Labour councillor Karen Shore said "savage Conservative cuts to local authority funding" had led to "difficult decisions". "Nobody likes paying for things that were previously free... but the fairest way to generate the income needed to contribute towards the savings the council must make is for everyone to contribute," she added. Conservative councillor Lynn Riley said introducing charges was "risky" for economic recovery and "risky for regeneration". "Parking charges, psychologically, is a step back when we should be taking a step forward" she added. Two novel Sars-like coronaviruses were found in Chinese horseshoe bats which are closely related to the pathogen that infects humans. Critically, the viruses infect human cells in the same way, binding to a receptor called ACE2. This suggests coronaviruses could transfer directly from bats to humans, rather than via an intermediate species like civets as was previously thought. The results are reported in the journal Nature. According to Gary Crameri, virologist at CSIRO and an author on the paper, this research "is the key to resolving the continued speculation around bats as the origin of the Sars outbreaks". This Sars-like coronavirus is around 95% genetically similar to the Sars virus in humans, the research shows. And they say it could be used to develop new vaccines and drugs to combat the pathogen. The Sars outbreak between November 2002 and July 2003 resulted in more than 8,000 worldwide cases and more than 770 deaths. This, along with the ongoing endemic of the Mers-coronavirus demonstrates the threat to humans from novel coronaviruses. Dr Peter Daszak is the president of the EcoHealth Alliance and an author on the paper published in Nature. He said: "Coronaviruses evolve very rapidly. The ones we are seeing are exquisitely evolved to jump from one species to another, which is quite unusual for a virus. So the big question is why are they emerging now?" At wildlife markets in China other animals and humans come into close proximity with bats, creating an ideal environment for the virus to jump between species. Also, those hunting in or living near bat caves have a significant risk of infection from such viruses, which are excreted in bat faeces. Understanding the origins of infectious diseases like Sars could help scientists tackle future infectious viruses before they emerge, through knowing where they are likely to arise and which families of virus we are most vulnerable to, and taking action to prevent initial infection. Dr Daszak said it would cost "about $1.5bn to discover all the viruses in mammals. I think that would be a great investment because once you have done it, you can develop vaccines and get ready with test kits to find the first stage of emergence and stop it." Meeting Theresa May for talks in Paris, Francois Hollande said he recognised the UK needed time to prepare but stressed: "The sooner the better." He said the UK's choice was to stay in the single market and accept freedom of movement or to "have another status". Mrs May said she would deliver on demands for "controls" on movement. During a joint press conference with the UK's prime minister following talks at the Elysee Palace, he said he respected the UK's decision to leave the EU and said, in terms of a timescale for negotiating a new relationship: "For France, the sooner the better." "There cannot be discussions or pre-negotiations before the negotiations, but we can of course prepare these negotiations and we can understand that your government, that's just been formed, needs this time." He said uncertainty was the greatest danger and also repeated France's argument that the UK could only get access to the single market if it accepted the free movement of people. "It will be a choice facing the UK - remain in the single market and then assume the free movement that goes with it or to have another status. That will be the subject of the negotiation." He added: ""None can be separated from the other. There cannot be freedom of movement of goods, free movement of capital, free movement of services if there isn't a free movement of people." There was much at this news conference of the permanent relationship between the UK and France - of the alliance which both leaders said pre-dated the EU and would outlast Brexit. The atrocity in Nice a week ago was a chance for Theresa May to extend her feelings to the families of those killed and injured, and for Francois Hollande to speak of strong co-operation on security and defence. That was the agreeable backdrop both leaders sought to conjure up in the full knowledge that the coming reality - the negotiation over Brexit - will not be easy. The prime minister seems to have won her way over the timing of article 50 - the French are not going to make a problem if it's put off until early next year. But President Hollande said that on the key issues of access to the single market and free movement of people, the UK had to understand: you don't get one without the other. But Mr Hollande reaffirmed his support for France's Le Touquet border agreement with Britain, under which the UK operates immigration checkpoints in Calais and Dunkirk, while France has a checkpoint at Dover. And he thanked the PM for her "message of solidarity" in the wake of the truck attack in Nice. Mrs May said she understood the need for certainty and that was why she had said she did not intend to trigger article 50, the formal process of leaving the EU, this year. She spoke briefly in French, stressing the deep friendship between the two countries, before going on to say she wanted to maintain "the closest possible economic relationship". The prime minster said bilateral trade between the UK and France reached 50bn euros last year, each was the other's fifth largest export market, French companies employed 360,000 people across the UK while the UK was the fourth largest investor in France. "So as the UK leaves the EU we will have to determine how to maintain the closest possible economic relationship between our two countries - and it will take time to prepare for those negotiations." But she added that the EU Referendum had seen a "very clear message that we should introduce some controls to the movement of individuals from the countries of the European Union into the UK". "I'm clear that the government should deliver and will deliver on that for the British people but we also want to get the right deal on the trade in goods and services and I think this is important economically not just for the United Kingdom but for other countries within the European Union as well." She also stressed that France and the UK would continue to work together on issues such as counter-terrorism and defence and Britain would "meet our Nato obligation to spend 2% of our GDP on defence and to keep our promise to spend 0.7% of our national income on aid". It comes after she held talks about Brexit with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin. BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said such encounters were currently at a "getting to know you" stage, with EU leaders waiting to see what the UK wants to achieve from the negotiations. On Wednesday, at a joint press conference with Mrs Merkel, Mrs May said the UK was in no rush to trigger the two-year process of leaving the EU - telling reporters that although "this would not please everyone" it was right to hold off until the UK's "objectives were clear". The Work and Pensions Select Committee found there was little evidence that lower payments would motivate disabled people to find work. The allowance is set to be reduced from £102 to £73 per week from April. Ministers have argued that savings would be invested in a new support package for the most vulnerable. The committee said evidence supporting the idea that introducing a lower rate of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) would enhance incentives to work was "ambiguous at best". It welcomed a decision to make some severely disabled claimants exempt from repeated reassessment for ESA but said it had deep concerns about assessments proposed in the recent work and health green paper. The committee said ministers should consider using incentives such as reductions in National Insurance contributions to encourage employers to employ people with disabilities. Committee chairman Frank Field said: "We expect the government to respond to this report before the proposed new lower rate of ESA is due in April. "If they intend to proceed with these cuts, we expect an explanation of how this will not be detrimental to its target of halving the disability employment gap, by making finding and keeping a job even more difficult for disabled people than it already is." A Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said: "The number of disabled people in work has increased by almost 600,000 in the last three years, but we're determined to go even further. "Our Work and Health Green Paper marks the next stage of our action to confront the attitudes, prejudices and misunderstandings that have become ingrained within the minds of employers and across wider society. "Our welfare reforms are increasing the support and incentives for people to move into work, while keeping an important safety net in place for those who need it. "In addition to ESA, we also offer support through Personal Independence Payments, to help with the extra costs associated with being disabled." She said delaying the long-awaited move would pose risks to the economy. The US economy is likely to recover from a slow start to this year and if it does, rates could go up, she said. However, she added that the economy still showed some room for improvement, with some unemployment not factored into the 5.5% jobless rate. In spite of this, a rate rise would take time to affect the economy, and raising rates this year would still allow some recovery in jobs, she said in speech at the Providence Chamber of Commerce, Rhode Island. A majority of Fed officials viewed a rate rise in June as "unlikely" according to minutes from their April meeting released on Wednesday. But a "few" policymakers thought economic data may support a hike in interest rates, that statement said. Rates have been at record lows since December 2008. This vaguely philosophical question recurs during many of the parliamentary debates on Brexit. The UK government's answer, as voiced by Wales Office Minister Guto Bebb is this: "To claim that promises made in a referendum campaign are binding on government is in effect a nonsense." The promises in question concern the future of funding that currently comes from the EU for the poorest parts of Wales. Aberavon Labour MP Stephen Kinnock told a Westminster Hall debate on Tuesday: "While the leave campaign made promises that all EU funding would continue to flow to Wales at the same levels, I think we know that those promises are about as valid as what could be printed on the side of a bus." Torfaen Labour MP Nick Thomas-Symonds wasn't the only "remainer" to begin his remarks by acknowledging the referendum result before adding a "but". He said: "I totally respect the result of the referendum of 23 June, but it does not mean that the leave campaign can escape from the promises that were made in the weeks and months leading up to it. What promises were made? I have with me the letter written on 14 June, released under the headline, "Leave Ministers commit to maintain EU funding". "What did they say exactly? The letter states: 'After protecting those now in receipt of EU funding, we will still have billions more to spend on our priorities. We propose that at least ??5.5bn of that be spent on the NHS by 2020, giving it a much-needed ??100m per week cash transfusion, and to use ??1.7bn to abolish VAT on household energy bills'." Some of the ministers involved are now in the government. Mr Bebb told Mr Thomas-Symonds the letter of June was trumped by a Treasury guarantee of October - and that the issues he raised implied a lack of understanding of how a referendum campaign works. "It is not about electing a government," he said. "In the referendum campaign there were members of the Labour party on either side of the argument, and the same was true of the government. To claim that promises made in the referendum campaign are binding on government is in effect a nonsense, and I think that you know it". So that promise is presumably as irrelevant now as George Osborne's promise of a "punishment Budget" if Britain voted to leave. And all promises made by ministers in the "remain" camp seem to have been trumped by the public vote for Brexit. Hence we now have a pro-remain prime minister having to deliver a policy she voted against. Theresa May is also trying to deliver an airports policy she thought would "devastate" her constituents. The decision to expand Heathrow (despite David Cameron's promise not to go ahead) has been welcomed by Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns who said he was pushing for that option in cabinet (although, unlike the Scottish secretary, he was not given a seat on the airports cabinet sub-committee). Mr Cairns has also defended the UK government's refusal to give the Welsh government control of air passenger duty. The Vale of Glamorgan MP, whose constituency includes Cardiff airport, said: "We've looked closely at this and because South Wales uses both Bristol airport and Cardiff airport we've assessed there would be a potential net loss in the flights that leave both airports." He added: "People who are calling for the devolution of air passenger duty are assuming that the Welsh Government would cut it. Now our experience is that every tax that they control up until now has led to an increase so we're determined to protect the passengers that use Cardiff airport." In Welsh politics, the default response to large infrastructure projects in England is, understandably, to see if Wales can get a cut of the cash. Mr Cairns said Wales would get its "fair share" of extra public spending on infrastructure work linked to the expansion of Heathrow but stressed that the project would be "almost entirely privately-financed" so the Welsh Government shouldn't draw up its wish list just yet. Computers have changed a lot in the 67 years since that dead insect was pulled from a relay's jaws but bugs can still trip up a machine. The bad news is that in these days of rampant cybercrime, they can give attackers an easy way in to a target machine. The good news is that finding bugs can be lucrative for the good guys too. Big bugs are usually found as programs are readied for release. However, the number of experts software makers can call on to check for the types of bugs that cyberthieves prefer is limited, even for the biggest companies. Small wonder then that more and more software makers are running bug bounty programmes that reward people, usually independent security researchers, who can spot bugs and other vulnerabilities for them. The bounty might be a T-shirt or free software, or sometimes a laptop. But increasingly, says Casey Ellis, who founded and oversees the Bugcrowd web community, the rewards are cold, hard cash. "As soon as you introduce that kind of incentive you engage more testers and you engage a better quality of researcher," he said. "Everyone should have a bug bounty programme of some sort." Bugcrowd is 6,000 members strong and it acts as a hub for bug finders and companies that need bugs to be found. It lists bounty programmes and rewards and helps to standardise the ways bugs are reported. So who are the bug finders? "There are two distinct groups of testers," said Mr Ellis. "There are ones that focus on finding issues using a very technical approach and then there are those that try to think like the bad guys." James Forshaw from security firm Context sits firmly in the technical camp. "I specialise in finding logical errors," he said. "That's not about exploiting a piece of code but a whole chain of logical operations so you get a result you did not expect." This can involve painstaking work to trace the way processes and functions interact in software. It can be especially hard with Microsoft products because relatively little of its core source code is available. Instead, security engineers like Mr Forshaw use tools that work on an abstracted version of that underlying computer code. Sometimes the end result of all the careful analysis is nothing. And sometimes he hits pay dirt. In October last year, Mr Forshaw was rewarded with a $100,000 (£60,000) bug bounty from Microsoft for finding a deep bug in Windows 8.1 that, if exploited, would have allowed attackers to bypass the novel protection systems built in to it. "The day I found that was a pretty good day," he told the BBC. But he acknowledged that his approach drew on his extensive experience built up since he got his first computer at the age of six and after which he became a dedicated code junkie. Many other bug finders have used their skill to cash in. This is because software companies are not the only ones paying to hear about bugs. Cyber-thieves have put up cash pools for vulnerabilities they can exploit with viruses and other malicious programs. But the biggest buyers of bug reports are governments - and the potential rewards are huge. Papers released by whistle-blower Edward Snowden suggest the US National Security Agency spent $25m a year buying bugs. Companies have emerged that act as brokers between researchers and buyers and there are anecdotal reports of people getting rich on the back of these deals. So is there any hope for those already older than six who do not have a deep technical knowledge of software? Can anyone get involved? Yes, says Casey Ellis from Bugcrowd, adding that many of its testers started out as teenage novices but are now doing well. There are others too. "I started at the age of 14 with searching simple web-application vulnerabilities," said German teenager Robert Kugler, who is now 17. "Security was always a fascinating topic for me, so I taught myself information security basics and studied further." Since then he has managed to find bugs for Mozilla, Avast, PayPal, Yahoo, Microsoft, the Dutch government and Belgium's military intelligence service. He's netted about $5,000 for his trouble. But he admits that it is not easy. "You need to have a good analytical ability and you need to be able to understand the coherencies," he said. "Last but not least, patience and creativity are very important skills." Another example of how straightforward it is comes from Chris Wysopal - a former member of the notorious Lopht hacking group. In May 1998, the group testified before the US Congress that they could shut down the internet in 30 minutes. Mr Wysopal now helps run security company Veracode, producing automated tools that look for bugs and other coding glitches. Those tools can find code that is vulnerable to well-known attacks or highlight places where its use of some security features, such as cryptography, are weak. Going beyond that requires people who can take a higher level view of how code fits together, said Mr Wysopal. But, he said, those people do not necessarily need technical skill. Mr Wysopal's daughter Renee netted a $2,500 bounty from Facebook for discovering that its privacy module sometimes failed to block others from seeing your pages. Despite being an arts graduate, Ms Wysopal found the bug after getting guidance from her dad about how to view a webpage's source code and using a proxy to change the data passed to it. "I told her how to focus on complex and new functionality as that might have more security bugs," he said. Finding the bug took a few days but by the end of that she had found a way to ensure supposedly blocked messages could get through to a person's page. Her experience was unlikely to be unique, said Mr Wysopal. "I don't think it is that hard to find bugs in many products," he said. "You just have to look." Lt Col Kumar Lama, 47, who now lives in St Leonard's, East Sussex, was in charge of a barracks in Nepal at the height of the conflict in April 2005. He is accused of ordering the torture of Janak Raut and Karam Hussain, who were believed to be Maoist Communists. Lt Col Lama, who is on indefinite leave to stay in the UK, denies the charges. The prosecution is being brought in Britain because of an obligation under the United Nations Convention Against Torture. Prosecutor Bobbie Cheema QC said the first alleged victim, Mr Raut, was a medic who worked in a private health clinic and was not a Maoist. After being taken to Gorusinghe Barracks in Kapilvastu, he was led into the forest by the officer, the jury was told. Ms Cheema said: "The colonel ordered the soldiers to bring an iron rod, a spade and sticks to beat him with. As he lay face down on the ground, handcuffed and blindfolded, soldiers hit him with sticks and kicked him. "He was beaten with such force that the sticks kept breaking and had to be replaced with new ones." She said he was finally released on bail as the King of Nepal declared an end to the state of emergency. The second alleged victim, Mr Hussein, was a Maoist sympathiser, Ms Cheema said. He was arrested with a group of other men and taken blindfolded to the Army barracks where the Col Lama ordered them to be killed, the jury heard. Ms Cheema said he was beaten in the forest and then told: "Let's go, we are not going to kill you today, maybe in a few days' time." The trial continues.

The uncertainty comes as Parliament considers a preclearance security bill that could give US border agents new powers and the Liberal government comes under pressure to reconsider an asylum pact with the US. The US has made it clear secure borders are a top priority and while President Donald Trump has set his sights on Mexico and the Middle East, Canadians are still feeling a chill. Pollster Nik Nanos, whose firm tracks Canadian attitudes towards the international boundary, said sentiment about the border is driven by two things - political rhetoric in the US and people's actual experiences at border crossings. Both factors are driving anxiety as the new US administration begins to put its plans into practice. Canadians took some 20 million trips to the United States in 2015 and report they are mostly well treated by US border and customs agents. But amid reports of border agents seizing and searching mobile devices, of people being questioned and turned away at the border and schools cancelling trips south, they are concerned about what Mr Trump's policies might mean for cross-border travel. Mr Nanos said that even the "informal influence" of the president can have an impact on border crossings. "The president does not have to pass an executive order to thicken the border. Trump has said he considers the border a sieve and if you're a border security person you're going to take that signal," he said. Federal Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale is expected to raise how travellers are being treated with his US counterpart, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, when they meet soon. "Our expectation - on both sides of the border - is that travellers be treated with respect, and in accordance with the rule of law," said Mr Goodale's spokesman. Meanwhile, the Trudeau government is trying to reassure people about Bill C-23, preclearance legislation currently before Parliament that is part of a bilateral agreement with the US. The US Congress passed its own version of the bill in December. The US immigration preclearance operations have been in Canada for decades - an example of the deep co-operation between the two countries on border matters. The system allows travellers to conveniently pass through American customs sites set up in Canada and for the US to vet people before they set foot on US soil. But lawyers are concerned about the powers Bill C-23, which will supersede the existing agreement, would give US border agents operating in Canada. Toronto-based immigration lawyer Howard Greenberg says he worries the legislation contains provisions that might hinder the legal rights and freedoms of Canadian citizens. Among the red flags Mr Greenberg sees in the bill are provisions that would allow American customs officials to detain and question people, to perform body searches on travellers, and to require people who wanted to withdraw from pre-clearance interviews to give a reason. Currently a traveller has the right to leave the preclearance area with no consequence. "You head for the curb, take a taxi home," said Mr Greenberg. It would also allow US border agents to carry firearms and "restraint devices" at preclearance sites. Public safety officials note that preclearance officers cannot place anyone under arrest, that they must operate in accordance with Canadian law, and that no right or power is conferred on border officers of one country and not the other. They also say that allowing border agents to question people withdrawing from a preclearance area is necessary to avoid illicit "probing" of those sites by those who may be trying to detect weak points or deficiencies. But Mr Greenberg says the bill, which still has time to be amended, needs to do more to clarify the rights of Canadians on Canadian soil, especially when a US administration talks about "extreme vetting" of migrants and refugees. Ottawa is also under growing pressure to suspend the Safe Third Country Agreement amid increasing numbers of refugee claimants crossing illegally into Canada in Quebec, Manitoba and British Columbia. That pact with the US states that refugee claimants are required to request protection in the first safe country they arrive in - a policy meant to better manage refugee claims and to avoid so-called "asylum shopping" between countries. But it is also driving asylum seekers to make the illegal crossing to avoid being turned back to the US at official ports of entry. More than 200 Canadian lawyers recently sent a letter calling on the Trudeau government to suspend the pact following Mr Trump's election. Representatives from the Harvard Immigration and Refugee Clinic also wrote to the Liberal government this month asking for them to consider the "enforcement and implementation" of the STCA. So far, the federal government is standing behind the agreement, which came into effect in 2004, saying the conditions of the agreement continue to be met.

The Canada-US border has become a fault line for Canadian fears surrounding the new US administration.

22 February 2017 Last updated at 12:56 GMT The colourful County Kerry politician, Michael Healy-Rae, told the Irish parliament that "nothing short of the army" would solve the problem. Regional Economic Development Minister Michael Ring agreed that the management of the "aggressive rhododendron is a long-standing, ongoing programme" in the park. But he rejected the suggestion that the government had neglected the public facility or its flowery foreign foes. The ingredients are there for something similar to happen at this week's Masters but the challenge is formidable with so many big names demonstrating top form so far this year. In 2011, McIlroy won the US Open by eight strokes in his first major since blowing that season's Masters. A year later, he suffered a string of missed cuts before winning his second major at the US PGA Championship. And in 2014 he had slipped out of the world's top 10 before embarking on a run that brought him the BMW PGA title at Wentworth and a high summer stretch that yielded the Open, Bridgestone Invitational and PGA crowns in consecutive weeks. Now he heads into the Masters having suffered an injury-blighted start to 2017 while Dustin Johnson has surged to the top of the world rankings. Media playback is not supported on this device No longer is McIlroy unanimously regarded as golf's biggest talent. Johnson shows no weakness; he is powerful, long and straight and supplements those qualities with unerring deftness on and around the greens. Having lifted his first major title at last year's US Open, the tall American appears unflappable and is playing with a maturity that many thought was beyond him. In short, he looks the perfect golfer and having won his last three tournaments, the strongest events of the year to date, Johnson is the undisputed favourite for victory here at Augusta. But this is the sort of scenario that inspires the best in McIlroy, especially as he seeks the title he craves more than any other. A Masters Green Jacket would complete his set of major prizes. He says he would not be able to feel proper fulfilment if he never wins one. It is a lot of self-imposed pressure and explains ruinous nine-hole spells that have peppered and scarred so many of his Augusta attempts. And McIlroy accepts that each year that passes without landing the Masters makes the next attempt more difficult. He is only 27 but there is a raging impatience. Media playback is not supported on this device Many observers have long held the belief that he is destined to win multiple Green Jackets. But the same was said of the likes of Ernie Els and Greg Norman, and both are still waiting. Norman was fourth on his debut in 1981, runner-up three times and third on three occasions. Listening to him speaking to BBC World Television recently, it was clear that he likes the Northern Irishman's chances of becoming only the sixth player to complete the career grand slam. "I'm a bit of a McIlroy fan. I like his moxie on the golf course - I like his style," said the 62-year-old Australian. And Norman is not concerned that McIlroy's season to date has been heavily disrupted by the fractured rib he suffered at the start of the year. After finishing second at the South African Open he did not return to action until coming seventh at last month's WGC Mexico Championship. Norman believes that was a tellingly impressive comeback because it was at altitude which makes distance control difficult. I do see one little glaring fault that happens under pressure with him "To step away from the game as long as he did, to step back into the game and compete the way he did tells me he's got really good control of his golf swing," Norman said. McIlroy followed up with a fourth place at the Arnold Palmer Invitational before playing only two matches of the group stages of the WGC Matchplay, a tournament that yielded Johnson's third straight win of the year. And while Norman agrees the big hitter from South Carolina is the front-runner at the 2017 Masters, he also suggests Johnson might prove vulnerable on Augusta's slick greens. "I do see one little glaring fault that happens under pressure with him," Norman said. "His putting stroke is excellent but at times it does have a tendency of breaking down just a little bit." The two-time Open winner refused to go into detail but revealed that he tries to help Johnson through the world number one's friendship with his son Gregory. "What pains me is when I see something on TV and I go, 'Oh my gosh, it's so glaringly obvious why he's missing those short putts'," Norman revealed. "So I'll text my son and I'll say 'next time you talk to DJ, just tell him to do this and give him that one piece of information'. If he does it, he does it - I don't know." But there is no doubting Norman's admiration for the overall Johnson package. "I'm really, really impressed with him," he said. "A combination of power, finesse, calmness beyond calm. Nothing seems to faze him. "He has been consistent for over a decade now, he's won a golf tournament every year for over a decade." To date, though, none of those have included the Masters where he has been sixth and fourth in the past two years. Johnson's preferred ball flight is a left-to-right fade whereas the popular belief is that players are better shaping it in the opposite direction at Augusta. "Because he can power the ball, he can play the Masters left to right rather than right to left," Norman said. "Jack Nicklaus used to play left to right and he'd got more Green Jackets than anyone else." Six-time winner Nicklaus is the ultimate Masters golfer but Jordan Spieth may, one day, prove a rival for that tag. The 2015 champion has played the event three times and has yet to finish outside the top two. Still only 23, he has banked $3.472m (£2.79m) from the Masters alone, although you would guess he would have traded most of that for a "mulligan" on the 12th tee last year. Dumping two balls into Rae's Creek on the shortest hole on the course led to a quadruple-bogey seven that put paid to what had been a five-stroke advantage on the front nine of his final round. Britain's Danny Willett then seized the moment to claim his first major title. More golf from the BBC: Spieth returned to Augusta last December, played the hole twice and birdied it on each occasion - the second time from tap-in range. But the ghosts will take longer to be exorcised. "It's not as if it's going to be the last year he gets questions about it," McIlroy said. "I still get questioned about the back nine at Augusta in 2011," added McIlroy who came home in 43 in a round of 80 that ruined his four-stroke 54-hole lead. He is a far more experienced figure these days and spearheads a formidable UK contingent that includes 11 Englishmen, Scotland's Russell Knox and veteran former champions Sandy Lyle and Ian Woosnam. Victory brings a return ticket for life. Few, if any, crave it more than McIlroy and in a year when, so far, his leading contemporaries Johnson, Spieth, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Hideki Matsuyama have made all the noise, this might be the moment when the story becomes Rory. The world number 21 was beaten 11-9, 11-6, 11-7 by Hong Kong's Max Lee in 48 minutes in the tournament in Cairo. Simpson had started strongly and led 9-7 in the first game before conceding four unanswered points. He had beaten Botswana's Alister Walker 11-2, 13-11, 11-9 in the first round on Thursday - his first win at the event since he made the third round in 2012. The ICO says nearly half of all app users have decided not to download an app because of concerns over privacy. It wants developers to be clear about what data is being accessed and why. More than 320 million apps were downloaded on the busiest day of last year, Christmas Day, and that number is expected to increase this year. "The app industry is one of the fastest growing in the UK, but our survey shows almost half of people have rejected an app due to privacy concerns," said Simon Rice, principal policy adviser for technology at the ICO. "It is important that developers tackle this issue by making sure their apps look after personal information correctly." The guidance from the ICO reminds developers that they must comply with the Data Protection Act and that users must be properly informed about what will happen to their personal data if they install and use an app. The ICO suggests that users should be given effective control over their privacy settings. Also the layout of a privacy policy could be better tailored to suit mobile devices with users shown brief but important information first, with the option to click through to another screen for more detail. Adam Joinson, a professor at the University of the West of England who has researched the link between privacy and new technology, said apps that had a privacy policy that was too generic risked alienating users. "By asking for too much information they're putting people off using the app. If developers were more canny they'd have fewer issues," he said. "Users could say, 'I'm happy for an app to have access to my photos but not my address book,' for example." App designers could be losing out financially because of unsuitable privacy policies which put people off using their products, said Mr Rice. Simon Lee, chief executive of app development firm Locassa, said the company tailored its data privacy depending on what the app did. "When we look at how the data is used, we must look at it from a user perspective and ask ourselves, 'Would I be happy with this?' If the answer isn't a resounding 'yes' then there's a strong indication we shouldn't be doing it," he said. "The bottom line is that users trust us when they install our apps on their devices. We must be careful not to abuse that trust." Noble halted his gig at Plymouth's Theatre Royal on Saturday when he saw that 18-year-old Oliver Jackson was in trouble. The comic pointed to Mr Jackson and a member of the audience performed the Heimlich manoeuvre to get rid of the sweet. Mr Jackson said he had since "given up jelly beans". More on this story, plus more Devon and Cornwall news "They don't seem to agree with me," he said. Horticultural apprentice Mr Jackson, from Plymouth, had been enjoying the sweets without mishap when one lodged in his throat. "I tried acting calm, I did not want to start coughing," said Mr Jackson, who was sitting four rows from the front. "My mate started patting me on the back and then Ross saw the commotion and stopped the show. The next thing, everyone was rushing in with first aid; it was surreal." The teenager added: "Ross pointed me out and within seconds [the sweet] was gone. "I'm just glad he could see that it was serious - and he made a few jokes about it later which lightened the mood." Noble was not immediately available for comment. The last of Scotland's 32 councils, South Ayrshire, decided what to do on Thursday morning. Bills there will rise by 3%. But, as I have been predicting since December, several councils chose to forego a rise. Eight councils - all with Labour leaders - are voluntarily freezing the basic rate of council tax in a move which is not without its risks. Any council which voluntarily foregoes some income may find it hard to say it is not getting enough government money - an argument used by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon at Holyrood. It may also leave a council open to claims from local campaigners that is not doing all it can to mitigate cuts and savings. A further three councils - all with the SNP in the driving seat - have opted for rises of less than 3%. Twenty-one councils - including others led by Labour and the SNP - decided to go for full 3% rises. The average bill will rise by no more than £3-4 a month. The most expensive council tax is in Glasgow while the least expensive is in the Western Isles. The difference in Band D bills between the two areas is £194 a year. But, of course, around a quarter of people face far more significant increases regardless of local decisions because of national changes to how bills are calculated which have been made by the Scottish government. The elephant in the room is May's council elections. National polls suggest Labour could find it hard to retain some of its councils although locally some senior Labour figures seem more confident. So will local council tax freezes actually prove popular despite the concerns some have expressed? And how might voters react in those areas where they are being asked to pay more even though there will still be cuts and savings? The Russian coastguard is towing the ship towards the city of Murmansk, a journey expected to take several days. Four of the Greenpeace activists had tried to board a Gazprom oil rig on Wednesday, to protest against drilling. Russia accused Greenpeace of violating an exclusion zone around the rig, but the group said its ship was in international waters. Greenpeace published photos that it said showed Russian security personnel in balaclavas confronting the activists with guns and knives after abseiling from helicopters onto the Dutch-flagged Arctic Sunrise. Greenpeace says planned drilling at Gazprom's Prirazlomnaya rig in the Barents Sea threatens a unique and fragile environment - a claim denied by Moscow. "The safety of our activists remains our top priority and we are working hard to establish what is facing them," said Ben Ayliffe, head of Greenpeace International's Arctic oil campaign. "They have done nothing to warrant this level of aggression and have been entirely peaceful throughout," he said. Greenpeace dismissed claims that a safety pod on the ship in any way resembled a bomb. The group of activists being held includes six Britons. A spokeswoman for the Murmansk region's border guards told local media that the Arctic Sunrise's captain had already been questioned, and the activists were being taken to court for "further legal procedures". The Russian foreign ministry earlier accused the group of "aggressive and provocative" behaviour. Moscow also said that its coastguard vessel had to fire warning shots across Arctic Sunrise. The Gazprom project is Russia's first effort to extract oil from the Barents Sea. Prirazlomnaya is scheduled to begin production by the end of the year. Russia's economy and its recent growth depend to a large extent on income from its huge oil and gas deposits. Three million cubic metres of sea bed will be removed to deepen and widen a 4 mile (7km) channel. It will allow the navy's new 65,000-tonne aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales to enter the port. The work costing £31m is expected take eight months. The MoD said high-voltage power for the ships when berthed and new gangways were also being installed in the naval base to accommodate the vessels. HMS Queen Elizabeth is due to be handed over to the MoD in 2016 ahead of being put into service in 2020. Work is also under way on a second aircraft carrier, HMS Prince Of Wales. It works by releasing fluorescent dye from tiny capsules when toxins are given out by bacteria in a wound. This allows doctors to identify bacterial infections and treat them more quickly, particularly in children with burns. Researchers said it could help to save lives. Children with burn wounds are particularly susceptible to bacterial infections because of their immature immune systems. These infections can slow the healing of wounds, leading to longer stays in hospital and sometimes permanent scarring. In severe cases, infections can kill. Doctors find it very difficult to diagnose infections quickly and easily without removing the dressing, which can be painful and create more scarring. Because of this, antibiotics are often prescribed as a precaution before the infection is confirmed. However, treatment with antibiotics when there is no infection can lead to bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics - and antibiotic resistance is a major health concern. Dr Toby Jenkins, reader in biophysical chemistry at Bath, leading the project, said "it could really help to save lives." The team has been awarded almost £1m by the Medical Research Council to test the responsiveness of the prototype dressing to samples taken from the wounds of burns victims. Amber Peat disappeared from her home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire on Saturday. A body, believed to be Amber's, was found on Tuesday evening and her family was informed, although formal identification is yet to take place. Floral tributes and messages have been left at the scene, while her school principal described her as a "bright" girl who loved singing and dancing. Amber's death is not being treated as suspicious by police. A cordon has been lifted close to where the body was found, near houses in Westfield Lane, about a mile from Amber's home. A post-mortem examination is due to be held later. An officer at the scene told the BBC the area had previously been searched. Rianna Richards, 12, was in tears as she laid flowers in memory of her friend. She said she had been sent home from school because she was so upset. "She was a nice person, she was funny," Rianna said. Rianna's mother, Sharon, said: "You don't really expect this to happen this close to home. It's hard to take in when things like this happen. "Obviously, we don't know what's happened. It's hard to imagine. I think it's just more shock than anything." One message left at the scene read: "I hope your parents find the strength to find peace. Hope the angels make you smile." In a statement, Mike Smith, principal at Queen Elizabeth's Academy, said: "Amber has been a student at the school since September. "Academically bright, she has been in the choir and has loved singing and dancing. Amber has been happy at the academy. "Students who have been particularly affected are being supported by staff and trained counsellors. "This is a close-knit, community academy and everybody is supporting each other at this difficult time." Hundreds of people had been involved in the search for Amber after she went missing at the weekend. Supt Matt McFarlane, who co-ordinated the search, thanked the community for its support. "From the moment Amber was reported missing our teams worked tirelessly alongside the community to try and find her," he said. "Over four hundred officers and staff, including those from our five neighbouring East Midlands forces, were looking for her. Sadly, this was not the outcome that any of us were hoping for. "Our thoughts are with Amber's family, and we do ask that you please respect their privacy and that of her wider family." The teenager's parents Kelly and Danny Peat, who had just returned from holiday in Cornwall, made an appeal for help at a news conference. Mr Peat said: "We had just all had a brilliant holiday. It's just not right. "We told her to clean a cool box out that we had had sandwiches in for the journey home. "It was a chore, basically, and I'm sure all teenagers are the same, she didn't want to do a chore. That was the last conversation." Mrs Peat said: "We were in the living room and I heard the front door slam." "I heard the door and when I went out I couldn't see her anywhere. She had just gone." Tara O'Reilly says her mother, who has motor neurone disease, wants to die with dignity. She said she wants to help her mother Jackie Baker choose the time and method of her death. Assisting a suicide or suicide attempt is a criminal offence and Dyfed-Powys Police said it was aware of the case and is looking into the fundraising. Ms O'Reilly said they needed £8,000 to fund the trip and had no alternative but to ask for help. A person encouraging or assisting a suicide or suicide attempt could face up to 14 years in prison, if a decision was taken to prosecute. But Ms O'Reilly told BBC Wales that the family had thought long and hard about their mother's wishes. Ms O'Reilly said: "My mother spoke to me and my sister about it and she said if it gets worse, which it has, she wanted to go to Switzerland. "We were distraught, because it's unthinkable. "But as the months have gone, and we've seen how much she has deteriorated, unable to feed herself, dress herself. "It's cruel. You wouldn't let your cat or dog suffer, you'd take them to the vets. It's kind. "This is not kind. Having to wipe your mother's mouth, feed her and give her drinks through a straw." Ian Scrivener, 35, of Milton Keynes, admitted careless driving on the A74(M) near Beattock in June last year. Dumfries Sheriff Court heard the baby had to be taken to hospital in Glasgow with a head injury after the crash. Sheriff Brian Mohan said Scrivener had a record of driving offences and deferred sentence for a month. The minibus driver also admitted driving with only a provisional licence and no insurance. The baby girl was one of eight people, including five other children, who were injured in the crash. They were all travelling in the minibus. Firefighters had to use cutting gear to rescue some of the passengers from the vehicle. The baby was taken to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow where she was kept in overnight after suffering suspected head injuries. The others were taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary with a variety of minor injuries. Fiscal depute Jennifer McGill said that Scrivener had taken over at the wheel when the driver complained of being tired. Solicitor Ranald Lindsay told the court he had been tested for blackouts but the results had proved negative. Sentence was deferred for background reports. Professor John Drew has been appointed to examine whether the force's culture, leadership and performance hindered proper investigation of allegations. The review, expected to take three months, is due to start in September and will be made public in early 2016. A report found 1,400 children were abused in Rotherham from 1997 to 2013. The report, by Professor Alexis Jay, said the force "gave no priority to child sexual exploitation, regarding many child victims with contempt and failing to act on their abuse as a crime." In March a former South Yorkshire Police officer alleged the force failed to act over hundreds of claims of sexual abuse made by girls in Sheffield. South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Alan Billings, who commissioned the review, said he wanted it to be "fast but thorough". He said: "I want a report at the end which satisfies me that South Yorkshire Police has genuinely acknowledged and fully addressed non-recent, as well as present day, occurrences of child sexual exploitation and I want to feel certain that robust plans are in place to ensure that nothing like this can ever happen again. "Most of all I want to restore public confidence in South Yorkshire Police." What will the review cover? Culture: Is the current organisational culture across the four districts a help or hindrance to future openness and transparency? Effective appropriate leadership: Are South Yorkshire Police (SYP) leaders effectively driving the fight against child sexual exploitation? Performance: Has a target-focused recording of crime mentality prevented SYP from effectively tackling child sexual exploitation sooner? Victim focus: Is the victim at the forefront of all policing decisions within SYP? Scale: Is the scale of the problem confined to Rotherham, or county-wide? Partnership working: Do current partnership relationships allow for open and honest discussions to take place, with free exchange of information? Prosecutions and case-building: Has SYP encouraged case-building against perpetrators of child sexual exploitation, acknowledging the intricacies of information gathering? Resource management: Does current SYP technology allow for the effective recording and sharing of information and data regarding child sexual exploitation? Three other inquiries - by the National Crime Agency, the Independent Police Complaints Commission and HM Inspectorate of Constabulary - are already underway. Dr Billings said he was keen to avoid "unnecessary overlap". Prof Drew has also worked as director of Social Services and Housing in the London Borough of Redbridge and county inspector of Social Services for Essex. Nathan Gill told the party's conference in Llandudno EU responsibilities over farming, fishing, and business would transfer to Cardiff Bay. But the Wales Stronger in Europe group said "vital EU funding" for farmers and businesses would be lost. UKIP leader Nigel Farage said he was optimistic his party would "make a breakthrough" in the assembly election. With elections in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and London amongst the polls taking place on 5 May, he told the conference UKIP faced a "vast organisational task". "But I'm pretty optimistic, I'm certainly optimistic here in Wales, that we're going to do very well and make a breakthrough," he said. "We will once again do what we did in the general election, we will surprise the commentators by just how many votes we take from the Labour Party." Appealing to Labour supporters and trade unionists to get behind the campaign to leave the EU, Mr Farage warned that the referendum in June could not be won "from the centre-right of politics in this country". "We must portray this as not being a battle of left and right, it's a battle of right and wrong, it's a battle about who governs our country, that's the message we've got to put out there," he said. Earlier, playing down the party's assembly selection row, Mr Farage told BBC Wales "the messages" not "the messenger" were important. Mr Gill has said getting 10 regional AMs elected in May's assembly election would be a good result for the party. But after a long-running internal row, the party is yet to finalise its regional candidate selections. Mr Gill told the conference: "We can bring back the 75% of laws made by faceless bureaucrats in Brussels, from farming, fishing and employment, energy, business and trade - a whole host of laws that would end up right where they belong, here in Wales, written for the people of Wales, by the people of Wales and for the people of Wales to democratically vote on. "Now that's what I call real devolution. "We can protect our industries, tap into our wealth of natural resources and put power back into the hands of the people." A fringe meeting at the conference with Mr Farage had to be moved due to the number of people who wanted to attend. He eventually addressed delegates from a stairway at Venue Cymru, urging UKIP members to work with other parties in the EU referendum campaign. Plaid Cymru AM and Wales Stronger in Europe spokesman Rhodri Glyn Thomas said: "Given that UKIP spent years opposing devolution altogether, their apparent conversion to giving the assembly more powers rings hollow indeed. "If the UK left Europe, vital EU funding for Welsh farmers, businesses and universities would be lost, wreaking untold damage on our economy." Finance ministers from the world's leading economies also warned of a "shock" to the global economy if the UK leaves the EU. UKIP Wales' main policies for the assembly election are: The Northern Irishman carded four bogeys and a solitary birdie in a second successive three-over-par 73. Padraig Harrington's dismal form this season continued as he added a 73 to his opening 77 to finish on 10 over. Three-time major winner Harrington has not qualified for next week's big event at Oakmont. McDowell won the US Open at Pebble Beach in 2010 but he has struggled for consistency over the past three seasons and he is currently 75th in the world rankings. American Daniel Berger has a three-shot lead at the halfway stage after a six-under-par 64 left him on nine under. Another American Tom Hoge is on six under with Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka all four shots off the pace. Compatriot Callum Smith will fight Swede Erik Skoglund at the same weight in the $50m (£41m) tournament. Chris Eubank Jr will also take part if he beats Arthur Abraham on 15 July. He would face Turkey's Avni Yildirim. The knockout series features eight fighters at both super-middleweight and cruiserweight. The winners of the tournament - which organisers say will "change the world of boxing" - will earn a share of the $50m prize and take the Muhammad Ali trophy. If a world champion fights during the series, their belt will be on the line. Groves, Smith and Eubank Jr picked their opponents at the draw in Monte Carlo as they were seeded. Eubank Jr was represented by his father. Groves said choosing Cox was "strategic", adding: "It's a long tournament and you pick the easy guys first." Smith, meanwhile, sacrificed a WBC world title shot against Anthony Dirrell to take part. "I think stylistically, Erik is the best fight for me," he said.

Richard and Angela Maxwell, both 67, from Boston, won £53,193,914 in the EuroMillions jackpot draw on Tuesday. It is the 10th-biggest UK lottery win, with the couple saying they would help family and friends. Mr Maxwell said he waited for four hours to tell his wife as she did not answer her mobile phone and then thought it was an April Fool's joke. Mr Maxwell said he checked the results online on Wednesday and was left "in shock" when they matched. Teenage millionaire: Life as one of the youngest lottery winners But he could not tell his wife as she was out at a luncheon club. "When she came back later that afternoon, she was carrying a basket of tea towels and she started asking me about our dinner plans that evening," he said. "I immediately told her we weren't going out for dinner. I said 'We can't go out for dinner Angela, I've got something to tell you'." Mrs Maxwell said: "I didn't know what to think. Richard just went red in the face and then said 'We've won £53 million'. "I just said 'Don't be stupid' - he's always playing jokes so I thought it was an April Fool. I just didn't believe it then he showed me the numbers on the website and I dropped the basket of tea towels on the floor. "I then just sat down in the chair for about half an hour stunned." The couple, who have two daughters, said they were still planning what to do with the money but that helping their family, and their wider community, was top of the list. On Wednesday, another couple revealed they scooped a £1m lottery win for a second time. Dave and Kathleen Long, from Scunthorpe, won their first jackpot in 2013. Fees applied to Visa card purchases "remain unacceptably high," the company said in a statement. Customers will no longer be able to use the card in its Thunder Bay store from 18 July and the move will be phased in across the country. Visa accused Walmart of putting its own financial interests ahead of its customers. "Walmart made this business decision despite Visa offering one of the lowest rates available to any merchant in the country," a spokesperson said. The supermarket chain said it paid more than $100m (£70m) in credit card fees each year - but did not break that down for the specific companies. All credit cards charge fees to retailers - generally between 1% and 2.5% of the sale cost. Visa and Mastercard usually charge variable fees according to the type of card used, while American Express generally charges a flat fee. "To ensure we are taking care of our customers' best interests and delivering on our promise of saving customers money, we constantly work to reduce our operating costs, including credit card fees," Walmart Canada said. However the company added that it remained "optimistic that we will reach an agreement with Visa". Walmart has some 370 stores in Canada. Last month the company as a whole reported a 7.8% fall in profit for the first three months of the year to $3.08bn. He had been ill in hospital and died in the early hours of Monday morning. Tributes have been pouring in for the bishop, who was from Ballyshannon, County Donegal. The image of the then Fr Daly waving a handkerchief over one of the Bloody Sunday victims, was one of the most enduring images of the Troubles. He was then a 39-year-old curate at St Eugene's Cathedral in Londonderry having been a priest in the city since June 1962. He was appointed Bishop of Derry in 1974. He was forced into full retirement in 1994 after he suffered a stroke but he continued in the role of chaplain to Derry's Foyle Hospice until February, 2016. Bishop Daly made headlines in 2011 when he said there needed to be a place in the modern Catholic Church for married priests. He addressed the controversial issue in his book about his life in the Church, A Troubled See. Allowing clergymen to marry would ease the church's problems, he said. The bishop received the Freedom of the City of Derry in 2015. Bishop Daly was "an iconic figure in the civic and church life of Ireland", said Archbishop Eamon Martin of Armagh, the Catholic primate of Ireland. "As the bishop who ordained me to the priesthood in 1987, I had huge admiration for Bishop Edward," said the archbishop. "I shall always be grateful for his pastoral guidance, kindness and support." "Bishop Edward will be remembered as a fearless peace-builder - as exemplified by his courage on Bloody Sunday in Derry - and as a holy and humble faith leader. "Bishop Edward's bravery was also apparent in his lived conviction that violence from any side during the Troubles was futile and could never be morally justified." Bishop Donal McKeown of Derry said: "Bishop Daly served, without any concern for himself, throughout the traumatic years of the Troubles, finding his ministry shaped by the experience of witnessing violence and its effects. "Through this dreadful period he always strove to preach the Gospel of the peace of Christ." Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said Bishop Daly was "a constant right throughout the course of the last 40 odd years in the city through the good times and bad". "Bishop Daly was inherently a shy person, he was not someone who sought the headlines, but he was propelled into the headlines because of Bloody Sunday, as he tried to help Jackie Duddy, for that iconic image," said the Sinn Fein MLA. "He was a bishop and priest who was very in tune with the local community." Mr McGuinness said Bishop Daly was always very critical of the IRA and "anyone that was involved in the conflict". Pat Hume, the wife of former SDLP leader John Hume, said Bishop Daly had been an "immense source of strength" to her family. "He was such a wonderful communicator," she told the BBC's Evening Extra programme. "He could communicate and let a person feel so, so special and let them feel he had time for them, even though he was an extremely busy man. "He always gave that impression that he had time for people." 4 January 2014 Last updated at 12:14 GMT Members of the public watched as it broke away on Friday afternoon. More stormy weather and snow is expected in parts of the UK over the weekend. Members of the public have been urged to stay away from coastlines, coastal paths and promenades. Moira Anderson disappeared on a trip to her local shop in Coatbridge during a blizzard in February of that year, just weeks before her 12th birthday. Her disappearance is now being treated as murder. The court petition seeks permission to open a grave at the Old Monkland cemetery in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire. It is thought Sinclair Upton, who died around the time Moira disappeared, is among those buried there. He was said to be a friend of Alexander Gartshore, a bus driver whose own daughter believes he is the likely killer. Mr Gartshore died six years ago, but his daughter Sandra Brown wrote a book accusing him of murder and has used the proceeds to set up the Moira Anderson Foundation to help families affected by child sexual abuse. The petition has been lodged by Moira's sister, Janet Hart. A spokesman for the Crown Office spokesman confirmed that it seeks authority for exhumation of a burial site. "The Crown's position in relation to the petition will be confirmed directly to the court and it would therefore be inappropriate to comment further at this time," he added. Russell Luke Bennett, 21 and Benjamin Brian Barrett, 30, from Bristol, pleaded guilty to conspiring to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and burglary at Cardiff Crown Court. They caused explosions at two Barclays Bank cash machines - one in Treforest, Pontypridd, and another in Bridgend. Barrett was jailed for eight-and-a-half years and Bennett seven-and-a-half. Police called the crimes "astounding" and said they were the first of their kind in Wales. The pair were part of a gang caught on CCTV cameras as they pumped a cash machine with gas and then hid around the corner before triggering an explosion. The first blast at Barclays Bank in Treforest industrial estate was so powerful that the safe door, which would take around four average sized men to lift, was blown across the foyer. The external glass window was blown outwards and all the doors throughout the bank - even those along the corridors leading away from the blast - were blown off their hinges. Police were alerted to the explosion at about midnight on Sunday, 25 October last year by a security guard. Officers found £45,000 had been stolen and £100,000 worth of damage had been caused. On 2 November, the Barclays Bank cash machine in Bridgend industrial estate was targeted, with the thieves making off with about £36,000. The men were eventually caught after DNA was found on a gas cylinder at the scene of the Bridgend raid. When police went to arrest Barrett at his home in the Bishopsworth area of Bristol they found signs of his new-found wealth, including newly purchased furniture and carpets and an invoice for a new motorbike. Equipment such as gas hoses which fitted cylinders recovered from the scene were found in the shed at the property. Barrett pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and two counts of burglary. Bennett, from Totterdown in Bristol, admitted one count of conspiracy to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and one count of burglary. Det Insp Dan Michel, the senior investigating officer on the case, said the pair's "recklessness and pure gall" was "astounding". The court heard there have been more than 100 cases of cash machines being blown up by criminals since the first example was recorded in the UK two years ago. The 30-year-old left-back has had a one-year extension automatically added to his existing contract after making 35 first-team appearances this season. France-born Bakayogo, who has scored once in 57 games for the Alex, is now tied to Crewe until the summer of 2018. He moved to Gresty Road in January 2016 after a two-year injury-enforced absence from the game. Until being signed by then boss Steve Davis after an initial trial period, the ex-Millwall, Tranmere and Leicester defender had not played since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament 37 minutes into his debut on loan at Yeovil from Leicester in January 2014. Bakayogo, whose existing contract was to expire in June, was relegated to the bench following David Artell's appointment as manager in January, but the Ivory Coast international was recalled to the side because of Jon Guthrie's hernia injury. 4 August 2017 Last updated at 08:26 BST Over his career he's won nine Olympic gold medals and created his very own trademark lightning bolt pose. Before his last race in London we've been taking a look back at his amazing career. M23 official Museveni Sendugo told the BBC its forces had already pulled back 5km (three miles) from the frontline. Rebel leader Bertrand Bisimwa said the pull-back would allow an independent investigation into how shells fell over the border in Rwanda on Thursday. The Congolese army denies Rwandan accusations it fired the shells. DR Congo and the UN accuse Rwanda of backing the M23, a charge it denies. Their troops have been pounding rebel positions on the Congolese side of the border with Rwanda near the city of Goma since last week. As tension escalated on Thursday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon appealed to Rwanda's president for restraint. Rwanda twice invaded its much larger neighbour during the 1990s, and the border area has been unstable for two decades. Rwanda's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN in New York, Olivier Nduhungirehe, told the BBC's Focus on Africa that "a red line was crossed" by DR Congo on Thursday when he said a Rwandan woman was killed in cross-border shelling. The M23 rebels, he said, were an "internal problem" within DR Congo, and the Congolese government "should not drag Rwanda" into the dispute. He denied allegations by the Congolese information minister that 300 Rwandan troops had been fighting alongside the M23 rebels. Rwandan Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo on Friday tweeted: "Rwandan troops are not in DRC (yet), when they are, you will know." A newspaper close to Rwanda's government has published photographs showing a military build-up near the border with DR Congo. Congolese government spokesman Lambert Mende told the BBC's Newsday programme that M23 rebels were firing onto Rwandan territory "to give Rwanda a pretext for coming in openly in this war". Q&A: DR Congo's M23 rebels The UN peacekeeping mission in DR Congo, Monusco, recently deployed a new 3,000-strong intervention brigade to tackle the rebels. 'Cannot be tolerated' Ms Mushikiwabo on Thursday said that 23 "bombs and rockets" had been fired into Rwanda this week. She accused DR Congo forces of targeting Rwandan civilians, and said: "We have remained restrained for as long as we can but this provocation can no longer be tolerated." BBC Great Lakes service editor Ally Yusuf Mugenzi says that even when Rwanda invaded Congolese territory, it never made such strong accusations against the Congolese army. Congolese army spokesman Col Olivier Hamuli told the BBC that his forces would never fire at civilian populations. "That could only be rebels," he said, adding that M23 fighters, and not soldiers, were in the area from which the shells were fired. This was backed up by Mr Ban's assistant, Edmond Mulet, who told the UN Security Council on Thursday that UN forces in the DR Congo had witnessed M23 rebels firing artillery into Rwanda but not the Congolese army, diplomats said. Mr Mulet ended the session by informing members that Mr Ban had telephoned Rwandan President Paul Kagame to urge restraint. Meanwhile South Africa, which has troops in the UN force, has warned the rebels not to try to occupy Goma. "We're trying to send a message to the M23: This time around you're not going to see Goma," Lieutenant General Derrick Mgwebi of South Africa's defence force said, according to the AFP news agency. At least 800,000 people have fled their homes in DR Congo since the M23 launched its rebellion in April 2012. They briefly occupied Goma in November 2012 before pulling out under international pressure. The M23 rebel movement is named after a 23 March 2009 peace deal that ended four years of rebellion in eastern DR Congo. The rebels complained the Congolese government had failed to honour the agreement, which included integrating them into the army. The M23 are mainly ethnic Tutsis, like most of Rwanda's leaders. Eastern DR Congo has been wracked by conflict since 1994, when Hutu militias fled across the border from Rwanda after carrying out a genocide against Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The Norwegian defended his decision to start with top scorer Kenwyne Jones on the bench in the 1-0 defeat at Wolves. With a Capital One Cup trip to Port Vale on Tuesday and an away fixture at Fulham four days later, Solskjaer says he will continue to rotate. "I'll always look to freshen things up at times and I'll make more right [decisions] than wrong," he said. It's going to be a long, hard season and we need everyone firing "Of course you think it's very simple; you can play the same 11 in 46 league games and you'll be happy. "It doesn't happen like that, it doesn't happen in today's football with the intensity, fitness, short space of time in between games, that's just how it is." The former Manchester United striker said resting Jones on Saturday was "part and parcel of what we're going to do throughout the whole season". Eight new players have been brought into the club over the summer, giving Solskjaer plenty of depth in his squad. "There's going to be games he [Jones] won't play, there's going to be games other players don't play because it's going to be a long, hard season and we need everyone firing," Solskjaer said. Saturday's loss at Molineux was the Bluebirds' first defeat of the season but Solskjaer says there has been no knock-on effect to Mark Hudson, who scored a last-minute own goal. "Mark is a top pro. He's been as a captain should be - just get on with it. You've got to brush it off, we all make mistakes in the game of football." The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said that 78,778 diesel cars were sold in January, a drop of 4.3% on the same month last year. Over the same period sales of electric cars and other alternatively-fuelled vehicles (AFVs) jumped by 19.9%. For the first time, AFVs now account for more than 4% of the market. The figures show that 7,270 AFVs - including hybrids - were sold in January, gaining a 4.2% market share. Sales of diesel cars have been falling for several months, following publicity about pollution and health issues. In December 2016, sales of diesel cars were down by 6.8% on the same month a year earlier. Are the headlines over diesel cars finally hitting sales? We bought a record number of cars in 2016. But the growth in diesel sales lagged the wider market. That growth, of 0.6%, hid the fact that the move against diesel had accelerated throughout the year. Diesel car sales have fallen in 7 of the past 8 months, compared with the previous year. Today's figures for January seem to confirm the trend. They show that while a year ago diesel sales were outnumbering those of petrol cars, by January 2017 that situation had reversed. And while the market share of diesel and petrol cars was neck and neck in 2015, in January diesel's market share fell to 45.1% compared to petrol's 50.7%. Several big cities around the world have said they want to ban diesel cars within 10 years, because of the pollution they cause. A group of doctors has called on the Mayor of London to ban them in the capital, while Westminster will hit some diesel drivers with extra parking charges from April. The government is also thought to be planning a diesel scrappage scheme, to encourage motorists to ditch cars which are the heaviest polluters. However, the SMMT figures show that overall sales of vehicles in the UK last month were at their highest January level in 12 years. In total 174,564 cars were sold, a rise of 2.9% on January 2016. Motorists who buy electric or hybrid petrol/electric cars still enjoy a grant from the government, worth up to 35% - or £4,500 - of the total value. Up to 200 people were evacuated from the block in Kensal Town after the fire took hold just before 21:30 BST. Eight fire crews were sent to the Trellick Tower flat, in Golborne Road, which was completely ablaze. There have been no reports of any injuries, London Fire Brigade said. The fire is thought to have been started by a discarded cigarette. Trellick Tower is a Grade II listed building. It was designed by the architect ErnÅ‘ Goldfinger in what became known as the brutalist style of the late 1960s and early 1970s. It has appeared in numerous films, television programmes and pop videos. It was also the inspiration for JG Ballard's dystopian novel High Rise and featured in the Martin's Amis book London Fields. The public can apply for places to join the silent procession through the shrine at Edinburgh Castle on Thursday. A whistle, which was sounded to lead men over the top, will be blown by a Scots soldier to mark, to the minute, 100 years since the battle began. At 07:30 on 1 July, Alan Hamilton will blow a whistle used by his great uncle. The Battle of the Somme was the largest Western Front battle of World War One, beginning on 1 July 1916 and ending 141 days later on 18 November. Over one million men were wounded or killed, 420,000 of them from the British Army. British casualties on the first day were the worst in the history of the British army, with 57,470 casualties of whom 19,240 died. Major General Mark Strudwick, chairman of the Battle of the Somme Vigil, whose grandfather was wounded in the battle; Able Cadet Samantha Kaszuba from TS Valiant (Dunbar Sea Cadet Unit), one of the candle bearers at the vigil, and Major William Wright representing the Royal Regiment of Scotland were joined by descendant Mr Hamilton at a memorial on Tuesday ahead of the event. Mr Hamilton, one of the sentinels at the vigil, said: "I am honoured and humbled to be a participant in the vigil to commemorate that 100 years ago, fathers, brothers and sons of thousands of families lost their lives or were wounded in mind and body in one of the greatest battles in our history. "My great uncle Robert, then a young officer, blew this whistle and led his men into a fierce battle where many of them, his friends, were killed and wounded. "He was with them until he, himself, was wounded. Throughout the vigil I will stand with others in silent reflection in an unspoken comradeship with those who went before us." Major General Strudwick, chairman of the trustees of the Scottish National War Memorial, said: "The courage and sacrifice of the British soldiers who fought at The Battle of the Somme should never be forgotten. Few words conjure the tragic scale and staggering loss of life during the 141 days that battle raged. "One hundred years on, we come together to honour them, to remember them and to ensure their memory and legacy lives on for generations to come." Hasson, who can play as a prop or in the second row, made four appearances for the Red Devils after signing from Parramatta Eels in May. The 25-year-old was born in England, but has represented Ireland at international level. "He will provide us with great competition for places in our squad," head coach Chris Chester said. The Welsh Conservative leader said he suffered "brutal" treatment from senior party figures for backing Brexit in the EU referendum. Andrew RT Davies said it had been a "relatively straight-forward choice" to join the Leave campaign as "the project of the European Union and integration clearly hadn't been working for some time". But he said he was surprised at the response from some quarters of his own party. "It was brutal," he said, accepting it was "a fair assessment" that the then Prime Minister David Cameron subsequently appeared reluctant to join him on the assembly election campaign trail. "I'm big enough not to worry about these type of things, but ultimately you don't expect to find yourself on the opposite side of a debate with colleagues who sit within your own political party," Mr Davies said. "I do think from a Welsh perspective we managed those tensions very well in that we didn't see some of the divisions that happened in other parts of the country. "There's no doubt there was quite clearly a feeling within the party that did want everyone singing from the same hymn sheet given the prime minister had given that lead. "But, frankly, sometimes in politics you've got to do what you think is right. "For me and many other Conservatives, we did what we believed was right and we were proved and vindicated to be right in that decision." Mr Davies accused pro-EU party leaders in Wales of being "out of touch" with their own supporters and in a "collective denial" about the referendum result. "I hope and I want to believe as we go into 2017 many of the Welsh establishment will have a reality check and, instead of accepting it through gritted teeth, will embrace the opportunities that these negotiations and Brexit provides for Wales," he said. "We should all be singing from the same hymn sheet to make sure we get the best deal possible for Britain." Stressing the opportunities of Brexit, he added: "We'll be tailoring solutions to our own problems than those of 27 other countries, especially in fields like agriculture. "We'll be going back to our roots as a global trading nation rather than part of a market that's declining in importance. "And we'll be determining our own destiny - we've been paying into the European Union but not necessarily getting the benefits of regeneration opportunities fit for Wales." The chairman of the Wales Stronger in Europe campaign said it was "one of the saddest and most frustrating experiences" of his life. "I think the country made a catastrophic mistake, but in many ways David Cameron will take quite a hammering from history," Mr Davies said. "The ground hadn't been set for this campaign - we'd had decades of hostility to Europe from an overwhelmingly hostile London press. "David Cameron had been very critical of Europe over some time and got relatively small pickings out of the renegotiations. "He didn't have credibility when he suddenly turned round and started arguing the case for Europe. Mr Davies added that the timing was "dreadful" for Wales coming so soon after the assembly election - "tired and exhausted" parties "didn't have the energy to come back into the fray for a second time". The former BBC Wales controller said about 10 days before referendum polling day on 23 June that he felt things were not "shifting" the way of the Remain campaign. "The climate on the street was not good," he said. "There was a huge amount of negativism and, to be honest, I found when handing out leaflets quite a lot of overt racism, as if something had been let out of the box." Mr Davies accepted there had been an element of a vote against the establishment but he defended the pro-EU side's efforts. "People say they have no time for experts any more - what do you do? "Somehow you have to create a campaign that articulates the arguments and connects with people. These arguments did not connect in that climate. "Many people have said that this was a howl of pain several years after the 2008 financial collapse - I think that is at the core of it. "The economy stopped in its tracks - people felt left behind economically, in parts of the country, certainly here in south Wales. "We've failed to find a proper economic answer since the collapse of the coal industry and I think an excessive emphasis on austerity made people feel there was no hope. "This was a protest against that." Mr Davies revealed many of those who campaigned for a Remain vote in Wales would reconvene in the new year to launch a new campaign pressing the case for co-operation with the EU after Brexit. "This is a terrifying time for the continent - and this is precisely the moment when governments ought to be coming together, not detaching themselves," he said. "All of us who believe Europe is better together than falling apart, we've got to continue to make that case."

The former Middlesex player insisted that his decision to quit the sport had not been forced by the furore surrounding Pietersen, and instead cited poor form with the bat as the main "driver". A statement issued on behalf of Pietersen after the news broke he would miss the upcoming tour claimed he had apologised to Strauss and also met new skipper Alastair Cook. On Friday Pietersen said he hoped to be back for February's tour of New Zealand. Speaking at the Professional Cricketers' Association end-of-season awards in Battersea, Strauss told BBC Radio 5 liveSport: "It was good that we spoke and got a few things out in the open. Media playback is not supported on this device "We've always been good friends. It was an awkward time this summer for all sorts of people. "I will have no problems meeting up with Kevin and having a beer with him, definitely. "We've been through a lot together, we've had huge shared experiences, and nothing changes in that respect." After the talks, Cook said he was hopeful that the 32-year-old will return to international duty, but reiterated that: "If the issues can be resolved, Kevin has said he is available for selection, but at the moment that can't happen." Discussions between Pietersen and the England and Wales Cricket Board have been ongoing since the second Test against Proteas at Headingley, when the Surrey man himself cast doubts on his future - a claim he later backtracked from.

The mourners heading into church wore black. But it was yellow and red that caught the eye in the crowds lining the streets outside. The colours of Watford, the club where Graham Taylor had such a huge impact. People gathered hours ahead of the service near St Mary's Church to pay their respects to the club's greatest ever manager. Watford, where Graham Taylor's name is engraved on the Town Hall's wall and written large above a stand at the nearby Vicarage Road stadium. "He's an absolute legend for the club, for the town, for Watford. I just can't say no more," said Watford fan Gary Armstrong, who had arrived early outside the church. Famous faces from the football world arrived at St Mary's, which is just a few minutes walk from Vicarage Road. They were joined by former players and officials from Watford and other clubs Taylor managed. Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Lincoln City are all places where his passing has been strongly felt. About 400 mourners were inside St Mary's while up to 1,000 more listened outside as the service was played out. They heard from his daughters Karen and Joanne, as well as his three grandchildren. The crowd sang along outside to football's hymn Abide With Me. It was almost 40 years ago that Taylor first arrived in this town on the edge of London. He steered the club from the old Fourth Division to runners-up in the top league and into Europe. And then a day out the FA Cup Final in 1984, remembered for the tears shed by his chairman Elton John after a 2-0 defeat. The music legend could not be at the funeral in person but commentator John Motson read a statement on his behalf. He described him as "like a brother". Elton John said the pair were an unlikely twosome, Batman and Robin, an unstoppable force of nature who would go to the stars and back with Watford. Their terrace song "Elton John's Taylor-made army" can be heard in the stands again, along with chants of "There's only one Graham Taylor". The same words are written on the recently closed One Bell pub next to St Mary's Church, along with a number of famous quotes by Taylor. None sum the man up quite so well as when he replied to a question about the subs bench at Watford being open to the elements. "When the supporters are shielded from the rain, we shall be too," he said. They say in football you should never go back. But Taylor returned to the club in the late 1990s, again taking them to the top division. And he later joined the boardroom. A steady influence during tougher times for the club. His impact didn't just stay within the limits of Vicarage Road, Taylor was passionate about the community and made his players volunteer in the town. And Taylor's great legacy at Watford was making the club more accessible to families and children. He was a true local hero which was recognised in 2001 when he was given the Freedom of the Borough. "He put Watford on the map and the town became a nicer, safer, friendlier sort of place. It seemed to rub off," said Jenny Scott, who has lived in Watford all her life. "He was known as Mr Watford. Yes he moved away. But he's come back to be laid to rest and I think the town appreciates that." It was a homecoming that began last year when Taylor and wife Rita moved back to Hertfordshire. And just a few weeks before his death he wrote in his Christmas card: "We feel as if we've come home." And now the town has welcomed home its favourite son one final time. Watson, 23, has never been beyond that stage of a Grand Slam. Ten years her senior, Williams is aiming for her 21st Grand Slam title and is on course for a so-called Serena Slam of all four majors in the same calendar year. On paper, their first meeting is a huge mismatch - the world number 59 from Guernsey versus the top seed, who is currently the best player on the planet. But, on grass, will it be a different story? BBC Sport experts Marion Bartoli, Justine Henin, Tracy Austin and Sam Smith look at how Watson might cause a huge upset. Bartoli, who ousted Williams in the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2011: "It is going to be very difficult for Heather. When I beat Serena, I served extremely well - it was probably one of the best matches I did on my serve. "I went out and was really smashing the ball. That was my only chance, because otherwise the problem with Serena is she puts so much pressure on your serve because she is inside the baseline all the time and ready to hit a winner. "The problem for Heather is she does not have a big serve. You have to put Williams under some pressure and, unfortunately for Watson, she does not possess those weapons." Henin, who beat Williams in the Wimbledon quarter-finals in 2007: "Physically and mentally, Serena is the strongest. Every time she walks out on court, she knows she is the best. Media playback is not supported on this device "She also has the personality of a real champion. I always remember when I played her in the final of the Australian Open in 2010 and I was 15-40 on her serve in the second game of the third set. I was in a really good position - and then she served three aces at 190km/h. "Only Serena can do it that way, and her fighting spirit is why she is still here and dominating on the tour at 33." Smith, who reached the fourth round at Wimbledon in 1998: "Heather's performance against Daniela Hantuchova to reach round three was outstanding. "But she will have to go up another three or four levels to be even remotely competitive against one of the greatest players of all time." Austin, winner of the US Open in 1979 and 1981: "I've always said that if there is ever a time to face Serena in a tournament, it is early on. She has already had a little wobble in her first-round match. "She will have to play at her absolute best. She needs a clear game plan and must stay focused point by point. She cannot focus on who she is playing and the aura of Serena Williams." Henin, who won six of her 14 matches against Williams: "Heather has to believe she has got a chance. Playing Serena is like climbing a mountain but she has to be prepared mentally and physically, and be at her very best. "Every time I played Serena, I always pushed myself to have a really good warm-up to try to increase the intensity of my game. "That was important but also I always had a lot of discussions with my coach, talking about how I didn't have to be afraid of her, even if I was shaking a little bit when I was waiting to go out on court." Smith: "Heather's return was particularly aggressive and effective against Hantuchova. At times, we saw her at her very best. "It is going to be a lot tougher against Serena but it is something she has got to try and do again. "More importantly, though, to begin with she just has to get a racquet on Serena's first serve and just get the ball in. "The problem is that Serena has the hardest second serve in the women's game. Heather will have to try to get on top of some of those, but it will not be easy." Austin: "Heather has to try to maintain her ground. Instinctively she will drop deep behind the baseline but she cannot afford to be pushed too far back by the Williams serve. "She has to force herself to stay close to the baseline and try to hit the ball early." Henin: "Serena gets a very high percentage of first serves in so as soon as you get any opportunity you need to attack her second serve, try to put her under pressure and try to get to the net. "Not many girls do that against Serena, but she really does not like it." Austin: "Heather has been working with Greg Rusedski this year to try to get more power on her first serve, and it has paid off." Smith: "The biggest improvement in Heather's game this year has come with her serve. It has improved out of sight. "She has got to serve well on Friday. Her second serve is not quite up to muster at the highest level and Serena will be hammering it. "So it will be interesting to see what Heather does. Will she take a little bit off her first serve, or will she be as aggressive as she was against Hantuchova and just really go after them again?" Media playback is not supported on this device Henin: "The home support for Heather could be one of the key factors in the match. The crowd will have a role to play and I am sure their support will be amazing. "The flip side of that is how nervous Heather will be on the big occasion but she impressed me with the way she controlled her nerves against Hantuchova. "She was playing with the crowd a little bit, but not too much and on Centre Court against Serena I think it will be the perfect situation for her." Defender Saunders, 25, left Dumbarton to join Welsh champions The New Saints in the summer. Saints have won all three domestic Welsh trophies for the past two seasons and are now chasing success on another, albeit unusual front - in the Scottish Challenge Cup The Irn-Bru Cup was expanded to include teams from Wales and Northern Ireland from season 2016-17, following approval from Uefa. Having beaten Forfar Athletic in the previous round, Saints go to League One leaders Livingston in the quarter-finals on Sunday. "For me it's exciting to go back to Scotland having played in Scotland all my career up until this season," Saunders told BBC Wales Sport. Saunders is in a good position to compare the merits of the Scottish and Welsh leagues and has recent experience of facing David Hopkin's Livingston side. "It's different down here, where there are a lot of technical players whereas in Scotland it's sometimes a bit hit and rush," Saunders added. "Livingston will be a very good team and they like to play football, but they do have the physical side to it as well. "They're on a very good run at the moment as well. I'm really looking forward to the match. "I played against them three times last year and had a mixed bag with a win, a draw and a defeat and the games were very close. "Being at Dumbarton last season they were our biggest rivals - it was between us, Alloa Athletic and Livingston for the relegation play-offs. "We managed to pick our results up in the last couple of days of the season which meant Livingston went down through the play-offs." Having helped Dumbarton preserve their Scottish Championship status, Saunders turned down the offer of a new contract and left to join the Welsh champions. He joined Saints with the prospect of regular football and impressed by the ambitions of manager Craig Harrison, the former Middlesbrough and Crystal Palace player. "He talked to me about the way he wants to play football and his views of what the next two seasons could bring," Saunders added. "They've won the treble for the last couple of seasons and I wanted to be part of that. "I've never won a major trophy so I'd like to win some trophies while I'm here and obviously European football was a massive factor as well. "I'd played in Europe before, but never in the Champions League." Saunders had his first taste of Champions League experience in Saints' second qualifying round second leg to defeat by Cypriot side Apoel Nicosia. But the former Queen's Park, Motherwell and Ross County player had already represented Scotland at senior level. He won his only cap when he came on as a second half substitute in a 3-0 friendly win over Faroe Islands in Aberdeen in November, 2010. "I was actually in the Under-21 squad at the time and there were a lot of call-offs and I got a phone call asking would you like to step up," Saunders recalls. "It was a great experience for me. I trained with them on the Monday night and got on for the last 20 minutes on the Tuesday night. "It was a really good game for me to come on and I'll always hold that dear to my heart." Saints, the Dafabet Welsh Premier League's only full-time team, go into Sunday's game against Livingston with a 100% record in their domestic competitions. Harrison's side are 15 points clear at the top of the table after they secured their 14th successive league win of the season last Saturday at Bangor City. The Oswestry-based side have been Welsh champions for the last five seasons and Saunders has been delighted with their form as they bid for a 10th title in their history. "The manager said we'd hopefully win the league again, but I didn't think we'd have such a good start to the season," Saunders said. "It's been a very good start for us and we've played [second placed] Connah's Quay and [third placed] Bangor in the last two games. "To come from those two games with six points is what you're looking to do against your biggest rivals." The Uruguayan, 30, scored five goals in 28 games during 2016-17 as Boro were relegated from the Premier League. Stuani joined the club in 2015 and went on to make 66 appearances, winning promotion to the top flight in 2016. The former Espanyol player's departure follows the arrival of forwards Britt Assombalonga and Martin Braithwaite to the club during the summer.

Colchester went close early on, Doug Loft's long range effort testing goalkeeper Marek Stech, while Luton striker Danny Hylton's header was parried away by Sam Walker. Town midfielder Lee was denied by an excellent save from Walker and Andrew Shinnie then shot straight at the keeper from Jack Stacey's cross. Hatters were ahead on the stroke of half time, though, Lee firing home at the second attempt when a corner was not cleared. After the break, Alan McCormack's fierce shot was superbly tipped over by Walker, although he could do nothing but watch as Collins curled into the top corner in the 52nd minute. Hatters keeper Stech produced an incredible save to keep out Sammie Szmodics' close-range header, while Luton almost got a third, with Hylton heading against the bar. Alan Sheehan saw his volley hit the woodwork too before Potts made it 3-0 with seven minutes remaining after touching home Sheehan's free-kick. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

Karen Fraser, 49, organised an event at a Glasgow hotel in 2013 at which cash was sought for Sean's Trust - a charity in memory of a stillborn child. Despite cash of up to £1,200 being collected, no cash reached the trust. Fraser, from Larbert, denied making any pledge but was convicted after people at the event gave evidence against her. Imposing a community payback order at Glasgow Sheriff Court, Sheriff Neil MacKinnon told Fraser: "In perpetrating this offence you betrayed the trust of those who were entitled to expect substantial honesty from you." The court previously heard that Fraser, who helped run a local newspaper, had organised a community awards event at Glasgow's Crowne Plaza Hotel in October 2013. It was attended by local councillors and police as well as Linda Croker, who had set up Sean's Trust in the name of her stillborn son. Envelopes were put on each table for those attending to donate cash. Glasgow Labour Councillor Martin McElroy, who was at the event, told the court: "The minimum suggested was £10, but I know a lot of people put more in. "She (Fraser) said all the money that was raised in the envelopes would go to Sean's Trust." The court was also told that an announcement was then made by the compere that any funds raised would go to the charity. Paula McMullen - a former employee of Fraser - also recalled Fraser telling her "before and after the event" the funds would be donated to the charity. It is believed about £1,200 was raised. Fraser claimed during her trial that any cash handed over was for a "prize raffle" and any suggestions about a pledge to Sean's Trust were "lies". "The money went into the bank account. It was a company event," she said. The court went on to hear how Fraser made up to 16 trips a year to Portugal. Prosecutor Elaine Jackson put it to her: "You were living a lifestyle that your income could not support?" She replied: "I certainly did not take money from charities to fund my lifestyle." In her summing up, Ms Jackson told the court: "She candidly tells us that she went to Portugal 15-16 times (a year). "This gives us an idea as to why this crime took place." "We are very relieved", said Deutsche Bahn board member Ulrich Weber. The strike, which began on Tuesday and spread to passenger services on Wednesday, will end at 7pm local time on Thursday. The GDL train drivers' union has staged a series of strikes to call for a 5% pay rise for 20,000 drivers and a shorter working week. It is also pushing for the right to negotiate on behalf of other train staff, including conductors and restaurant staff. Deutsche Bahn, which employs 200,000 people, has offered the drivers a 4.7% pay rise plus a one-off €1,000 (£715; $1,110) payment, but refused to allow GDL to negotiate for other workers. The latest strike is the ninth walkout in just 11 months and follows a five-day train strike earlier in May, which was the longest in Deutsche Bahn's 21-year history. An estimated 5.5 million people travel daily by train in Germany. Economists estimate that the strike earlier this month cost the German economy about €750m (£541m) in lost activity. "After a dispute that has lasted nearly a year, it was the pressure from the ninth strike that finally broke through the Gordian knot," said GDL leader Claus Weselsky. Midfielder Richard Smallwood scored his first goal for the club in over a year to put them in front on nine minutes with a left-foot shot from outside the box into the bottom right corner. But Stevie May levelled on 41 minutes, with an effort into the top corner. Rotherham have now picked up five points from their past four matches. But this was only their second point in 23 away league games throughout the entire campaign. Had they lost, they would have set a new record for the most defeats in a second-tier season but, going into next Sunday's final game at home to Derby, they currently share that with Wimbledon, who also lost 33 times in the 2003-04 season. They still need to conceded three more goals to become the first team to concede 100+ goals in a season at this level since Stockport County in 2001-02. Preston's point betters their tally of 62 from last season, when they finished 11th, which is where they again currently stand ahead of 7 May's trip to face Wolves at Molineux. Preston boss Simon Grayson: "We wanted to get that feel-good vibe back and put the last few results behind us, so it wasn't the best way to finish the home season, but we can still be very proud of what we have done. "We are very close to getting more points than last year, we've scored more goals, we are on course to finish higher positionally and that was always the aim. "I'm a little bit disappointed with the performance because we have had some really good ones against some good teams, we have played some free-flowing football and we wanted to produce a performance for the supporters today. "But we started too slowly, we didn't ask question of Rotherham and it was a little bit predictable and ponderous." Rotherham boss Paul Warne: "The lads stuck to the game plan really well, we defended resolutely to the last minute. "Back to front I thought we were great. We got on top with a great goal from Richie and their goal was a wonder strike and that is what it has taken to get past us. "A few games ago I told the lads to use this as a mini-season and I think their standards in all of those games has been excellent. "I am pretty proud of what the lads have put in and I think there are green shoots for next season, so I am a proud manager." Match ends, Preston North End 1, Rotherham United 1.

Since the beginning of devolution 17 years ago, education in Wales - perhaps more than any other policy area - has followed a different direction to other parts of the UK. Ministers admit they took their "eye off the ball" in the early years and results suffered but GCSE and A-level results have improved in recent years. For some, university is the next step and deciding who pays for expensive fees and living costs is likely to be the most contentious education issue in this election. Looking at schools first. After lagging behind, the gap with England at GCSE narrowed in recent years but changes to the way figures are recorded make it increasingly difficult to compare. In Pisa tests, Wales slipped in Maths, reading and science and was ranked the worst in the UK at the end of 2013. There are concerns about funding and a warning from unions that schools face significant cuts. There will be a new curriculum in the life of next assembly - with proposals set out last year. Raising the skills and status of teachers is another key concern. Prof Gareth Rees of Cardiff University's School of Social Sciences said: "Devolution enables us to set our objectives for our education system. "If you go to Scotland, they're not agonising over what happens with Pisa and how they compare with other parts of the UK and I think the sooner that Wales follows that sort of example the better." Head of Maths at Ysgol Friars in Bangor, Chris Parry, wants politicians to take a step back. "The Welsh Government is always looking to reach the next target to make sure pupils are confident in literacy and numeracy, which is obviously the way to go. "But the way it's doing it through Estyn [the schools inspectorate] and inspections and forever putting us under pressure to hit our targets - it's a lot of work for teachers to do, as well as teaching at the same time." Students from Wales currently only pay £3,810 towards their tuition fees, wherever they study in the UK. The rest, up to £5,190 a year, is paid for by the Welsh Government. It is a policy which saddles Welsh students with less debt than their English counterparts but it is expensive - £238m in 2014/15. Its future is under review and an interim report said most of the evidence indicated keeping the current student finance arrangements is "not an option". Welsh universities say the current system means English universities are being subsidised at the expense of Welsh institutions and help should be focused on poorer students. As a parent, teacher Chris Parry is also looking at the higher education system. He said: "I've children in year seven and year nine and I'm now worried about what's going to happen when they get to university. "I'd love them to go to university and get a good grounding in education for future learning and future life. The biggest problem of course is the money - we've got tuition fees, maintenance loans, students loans, I just wonder where we're going to go with that?" Prof Rees said: "Lots of students who perhaps could afford to pay the full whack of fees are not having to. "It also means students going to universities outside Wales in a sense take their subsidy with them. And certainly, universities in Wales argue that money could be better used in supporting universities in Wales." The undecided student voter Alexandra Atkins, 19, is part of the BBC's Generation 2016 project, which aims to reflect the voices of younger voters in the run up to the election. Alexandra is currently studying to be a youth worker and graduates this year from University of Wales Trinity St David in Swansea. She is undecided on who to vote for but said student finance had been important to her in the past few years. "Knowing I didn't have to pay the fees until afterwards has been very beneficial," she said. "As long as I budgeted and ensured finances were in order, everything was fine. Without the grants from Welsh Government I would have been less likely to go to university. "There are other issues more important to me now than education as it's personal to me. "Within education, they need to ensure there's partnership with outside organisations like young services and the voluntary sector so young people are supported not just in education formats but more non formal ways. "Education isn't for everyone. I didn't get on with education much myself but through youth work it made me want to get into further education." Beyond compulsory education to 16, part-time and adult learning has borne the brunt of budget cuts in recent years. Welsh Government figures show there are a third fewer people studying in colleges, the community or workplaces than a decade ago. Welsh colleges say they have a steady budget this year and there are promises to boost the number of apprenticeships. Funding for further education may not be top of the agenda in this election but with calls for further investment from all parts of the education system, the priority given to "lifelong learning" is an issue which the parties will have to address. 'New government needs to be brave' Yvonne Naylor has been head of Ysgol Ardwyn primary school in Welshpool, Powys, for the last five years and a head teacher for 20 years. "Teachers want to rebuild their professional pride," she said. "Day to day, they have to face budget cuts, negative school publicity, changing requirements, comparisons between schools which are not like for like. "What they want is to be a part of a system that celebrates successful classroom practice and the achievements of all the children. They want a period of stability of the education system, to develop their own skills and their subject knowledge and support each other in a professional community." She said there were recruitment issues, especially in the Welsh language and low morale among staff. "I feel the new government needs to be brave - it mustn't use education as a pawn to win votes but be committed to providing a system that's world leading. "I've been privileged to be part of a system that has worked - we've been valued and motivated as teachers - and we want to come back to that, back to the basic, we could have it again." Debates about the NHS in Wales have dominated the assembly politics over the past term and education may have temporarily slipped down the agenda. But the election result will decide who will be making crucial decisions about student funding and steering fundamental changes to the way Welsh children are taught. The 47-year-old victim suffered head injuries in the attack outside a Costcutter store in the Lancashire town, at about 14:30 BST on Saturday. He is thought to have been involved in an argument with a group outside the shop in Exchange Street, police said. Lancashire Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them. The teenage suspect from Blackpool is being questioned on suspicion of assault causing grievous bodily harm with intent. The move sparked numerous protests and legal challenges. A week later a federal judge in Seattle suspended it nationwide - allowing banned visitors to travel to the US pending an appeal by the administration. Mr Trump and his supporters say the controversial executive order makes good on election promises to "make America great again". But what is the order, dubbed the "Muslim ban" by those rallying against it, and who exactly does it affect? Here are some key points from the full text explained. Victims vent fury World reaction Order sows seeds of panic All travellers who have nationality of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen are not permitted to enter the US for 90 days, or be issued an immigrant or non-immigrant visa. People who have dual nationality with a non-restricted country are not affected, so long as they travel on the passport from the other country. Green Card holders are subject to the same restrictions, the US Customs and Border Protection has clarified, if they found themselves "out of the country at the time of the order's signing, or travels out of the country after the order was signed". They remain eligible for waivers on a case-by-case basis, however. The White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus had said holders of these cards would not be affected, although they could be subject to greater questioning at airports. Mr Trump said the halt on the refugee programme was needed to give government agencies time to develop a stricter vetting system and ensure that visas were not issued to individuals posing a national security threat. "To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting," the president said in a statement released on Facebook. "This is not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order." Trump border policy: Who's affected? Syrians applying for resettlement in the US were already subject to a complex process of background investigation and security screenings, in a process that could take between 18 to 24 months. Mr Priebus said the seven countries had been included because Congress and the Obama administration had identified them as "the most watched countries harbouring terrorists". The Seattle court ruling came in response to a challenge by Washington State attorney general, who argued that the executive order violated a clause in the US constitution that prohibits the favouring of one religion over another. Courts elsewhere made the same argument to challenge deportations under the ban. The US used to ban entrants from specific countries and entire regions. But in 1965, the US Congress passed the Immigration and Nationality Act which said that no person could be "discriminated against in the issuance of an immigrant visa because of the person's race, sex, nationality, place of birth or place of residence". So, the exclusion of all Syrians would be enough to challenge Mr Trump in court. The fact that they are all Muslim countries lends weight to the critics's argument that the order is "anti-Muslim". Supporters of Mr Trump's order mention the post-9/11 attacks and the ability of the administration to take measures to protect national security. And they cite the president's powers stemming from a 1952 law on "Inadmissible Aliens" to "suspend the entry" of "any class of aliens" that he finds are detrimental to the interest of the US. They also suggest that US presidents can set aside the 1965 law. The most cited example is that of President Jimmy Carter who barred some Iranians during the 1980 hostage crisis . Rights groups say Mr Trump's order targets Muslims because of their faith and that no refugees have been convicted of terrorism-related crimes. They also say that the most recent attacks in the US were carried out by US nationals or citizens from the countries not included in the travel ban: While announcing the plan, Mr Trump cited the attacks of 11 September 2001. But none of the 19 hijackers who committed the attacks came from countries included in the suspension. They were from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt and Lebanon. Some have pointed out that the list does not include countries where President Trump has business interests - like Saudi Arabia - a suggestion dismissed by the president's chief of staff as not related. The first call, shortly before 11:00, was to assist an 8.3m yacht which had run aground near Glenmoriston. Before returning to base, they were called to Temple Pier to help with a motor cruiser which had a rope caught in its propeller. Shortly after returning to base at 14:45, the lifeboat was called out to a yacht drifting near Urquhart Castle. A statement from the RNLI Loch Ness lifeboat station said: "A memorable day for the volunteers at Loch Ness boathouse in a year that is shaping up to be their busiest yet." A lifeboat on Loch Ness was first introduced in 2008. He spoke after holding talks with UK ministers in London on the issue. Mr Brown expressed worries that Scotland could face further cuts to its budget to help pay for the £1.5bn heading to Northern Ireland. Downing Street has insisted the Barnett formula does not apply to the deal and that Scotland receives "substantial funding" outside that formula. The minister said that while some progress had been made on "specific" issues, it was important to point out that the DUP deal would affect the support Scotland receives. Mr Brown believed that if the Northern Ireland agreement had been applied fairly to other parts of the UK, then Scotland would have benefited by about £3bn. After his meeting in Westminster, he told the BBC: "As things stand, we are not going to get that £3bn, but we have now had confirmation from the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Liz Struss, there will be no increase in UK Departmental Expenditure Limits (Del). "This deal does what David Mundell said it shouldn't, it circumvents Barnett and it means instead of getting £3bn that Scotland would have been entitled to you get nothing, and more than that it means the money from the DUP deal seems it will be met from other budgets, including potentially Scotland's budgets. "That is why we are very angry about it. "It is a breach of Barnett, it is a breach of the funding principles." Speaking on the issue on Sunday, the environment secretary Michael Gove told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show that parts of the UK with additional needs have been supported "more generously" by the government. "We want to the ensure that Northern Ireland and all its communities can emerge from that process stronger," he said. His comments were dismissed by Mr Brown. "The idea that Michael Gove is saying this is because Northern Ireland has additional needs...is nonsense," he said. "We all know this because of a deal that the Tories want to strike to stay in power in Westminster and what we're saying is that Scotland shouldn't suffer for that." The UK government has said the money allocated to Northern Ireland was a "targeted intervention" similar to city deals in Scotland and Wales. Mr Brown said Westminster only funded reserved matters as part of city deals, and it had to be matched by the Scottish government. He explained: "We're the ones spending more money on city deals in Scotland," he said. "The idea that Northern Ireland who - we don't know yet but we understand will not be required to pay match-funding for this - and also it will be for devolved functions so it is again circumventing the normal process of city deals and it's all in the aim of keeping the Conservatives in power." A UK government spokeswoman said: "The deal agreed between the UK government and the DUP brings stability, which will be vitally important as we prepare to leave the EU. "The deal is fully transparent and conforms to the rules governing the Barnett formula. The Barnett formula is good for Scotland but would be lost, with severe financial consequences, under the Scottish government's plans for independence. "Scotland has also received substantial funding outside of the Barnett formula. That includes almost £700m so far for UK City Deals in Scotland, as well a host of other initiatives, including £5m for Glasgow School of Art, £5m for the Burrell Collection, £5m for the V&A in Dundee, and £5m to regenerate Helensburgh's waterfront." Wenger said forward Sanchez suffered "a little hamstring alarm" after scoring twice in Tuesday's 3-0 win Champions League over Dinamo Zagreb. But he started on Sunday and Arsenal's injury problems worsened in what Wenger said was a "below-par performance". "I would have rested him but he said he was fine to play," the Frenchman added. "Santi Cazorla finished on one leg and has a knee problem, Laurent Koscielny has a hip problem and Sanchez a thigh problem. "He says it is a kick on his hamstring, I believe that is not really the reality. I fear it is not the reality." Re-live Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Norwich "It's injury after injury" - reaction from the 5 live Football Daily podcast Wenger said he did not know how long Sanchez would be out for, adding: "It is a big blow." Defender Koscielny had to be taken off early in the first half at Carrow Road, with Sanchez withdrawn in the second half. Had midfielder Cazorla also been forced off, Arsenal would have finished with 10 men, having made all three substitutions after Norwich striker Lewis Grabban cancelled out Mesut Ozil's opener just before half-time. The result meant Wenger's side missed out on the chance to draw level on points with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. Former Blackburn and Norwich striker Chris Sutton was BBC Radio 5 live's summariser at the match. "These are not just injuries but injuries to key men. Wenger must be worried," he said. "Alexis Sanchez has been in scintillating form and you could see Arsenal missed him when he went off. "It will be a massive loss, as will be Laurent Koscielny. Arsenal looked shaky when Gabriel came on. They will really miss both players in the coming weeks. "I don't believe Wenger would have risked Sanchez. Why would he? He must have declared himself fit, but he hobbled off and it did not look good." Should the injuries to Cazorla, Sanchez and Koscielny prove to be serious, there would nine Arsenal first-team players sidelined. Defensive midfielder Francis Coquelin is expected to be out for three months after suffering ligament damage, while Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky and Mikel Arteta are also out. "At the moment on the striker front we have not much choice because Theo Walcott is out and Danny Welbeck is out," Wenger added. "It was, on the injury front, a bad afternoon for us." Hodgson has presided over five successive victories since exiting at the group stage in Brazil and takes his side to meet Scotland on Tuesday. "We were doing a lot of things right leading up to Brazil, but the World Cup was a real cold shower," said Hodgson. "Supposedly we had to start again, but I don't think that. We'd always been working towards where we are today." Saturday's 3-1 win against Slovenia at Wembley was England's fourth from four Euro 2016 qualifiers and left them six points clear at the top of Group E. And Hodgson claims the trauma of England's early departure in South America convinced him to give a new generation of talent responsibility in the Euro qualifiers. Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool attacker Raheem Sterling has now become an integral part of the England set-up, Arsenal's Jack Wilshere has cemented his place and Everton teenager Ross Barkley is also ready to press his claims for a regular starting berth. "A lot of players were beginning to emerge and stake their claim just before the World Cup, players who hadn't necessarily fully succeeded," said Hodgson. "I'd like to think some of the players we've brought in have shown signs they can justify the confidence I've shown in them." Hodgson will "probably" all six substitutes at his disposal against Scotland in Glasgow in a bid to look at as many of his squad as possible before the next Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania at Wembley on 27 March. And Hodgson said he would not hide behind an extensive use of replacements should England lose in the hostile atmosphere of Celtic Park. "I don't think we've ever looked for excuses," added the former West Brom, Fulham and Liverpool boss. "The friendlies we have had have been against strong opposition such as Italy, Sweden, Germany, the Republic of Ireland and now Scotland twice. "We've chosen teams who could beat us and when they have beaten us we have accepted that. "I'm not looking for excuses if we don't win. If we don't it will be because we haven't played well enough or Scotland have been better. "This is the last time we will be together as a group, training and playing, for a few months. There will be quite a few guys who here who didn't get a look-in against Slovenia and I might want to give them a look-in. If I do, it will be for that reason." It was announced earlier this month that the company's two yards on the Clyde would build eight larger Type 26 frigates. The review, by leading businessman Sir John Parker, calls for future contracts to be put out to wider tender. Downing Street has insisted Scotland would continue to play a central part in delivering new warships. Rosyth in Fife is also one of six shipyards across the UK currently involved in the £6.2bn project to construct two aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy. However, the contract to build smaller general purpose Type 31 frigates has yet to be announced. Sir John, chairman of mining giant Anglo American, said removing BAE Systems' monopoly would increase productivity and reduce the time spent on construction. He was tasked with examining how British naval shipbuilding could be kept sustainable and increase exports. Sir John told the Good Morning Scotland programme that "no-one should be afraid of competition". He added: "The whole idea is to expand the naval shipbuilding output in the country and also at the same time there has been quite a renaissance in a number of yards around the country that have actually taken part in supplying blocks to the aircraft carriers being built at Rosyth. "But I think as far as Scotland's concerned, the big prize - I call it a double first prize - is that my report has recommended that the whole series of Type 26 frigates should be built in Govan on the Clyde. "This will be the largest single contract for naval ships this decade and will see the yard through into the early 2030s. So this is a huge prize that is going to Scotland." Sir John said the new Type 31e general purpose frigates would be designed specifically in a "modular way" for export. Sir John said it was incumbent on the Clyde yards to use their "firm workload" to push forward modernisation of technology and advance digital engineering and productivity. He said it needed to be "match-fit" so they would be the "yard of choice". In his report, he said that Scotland's cutting-edge technology presented an opportunity to implement "modular construction" more widely: a process in which ship components were produced across the UK before being assembled at a central Hub However, Gary Cook, the Scottish regional organiser for the GMB union, which represents workers on the Clyde, told the programme that while he broadly welcomed the review, it also failed to provide answers for the shipbuilding industry in Scotland. He said: "It's what John Parker didn't say that concerns the joint unions." "How are we going to get from where we are today to the hub that Sir John talks about in his interview. "A central hub - that is years away. The immediate pressing problem is how do we get a continuation, a continuity of work into Rosyth and the other UK facilities?" The union chief added: "£260m a year, 10,000 jobs - you just cannot rip that out of Scotland. The facilities won't be there for Sir John's vision of the future. We need continuity." Welcoming the report, Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon said it provided an "ambitious vision" of naval shipbuilding in the UK. He added: "This report will inform our National Shipbuilding Strategy to match the needs of the Royal Navy with the ability to design and build efficiently, maintain skills, and maximise export opportunities. "This will ensure a strong naval shipbuilding sector and help deliver an economy that works for everyone." SNP defence spokesman Brendan O'Hara said the report signalled another delay to the publication of the UK government's National Shipbuilding Strategy and would cause concern to workers. He said: "These concerns about another Westminster muddle will only be heightened by some of the recommendations in this report with clear implications for yards on the Clyde in particular. ''When Tory Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon says in relation to shipbuilding there needs to be a "rebalancing" in Britain's industrial strategy - that will cause great concern to workers who have been let down by Tory broken promises so many times. He needs to explain -in detail - what that means and he needs to explain it now." Scottish Labour's Westminster spokesman Ian Murray said that although the construction of the Type 26 frigates secured the Clyde's future until the 2030s, more was needed to see the Scottish shipbuilding industry beyond that. He said: "The UK and Scottish governments need an industrial strategy that invests in defence and commercial shipbuilding on the Clyde to increase opportunities for shipbuilding. "Promises were made to the workers on the Clyde and we will not allow the government to go back on them." The UK government will publish its formal response to Sir John's report in the form of its National Shipbuilding Strategy in the spring. Sunday's win takes 30-year-old Davies into second place in the championship, behind Northern Ireland's Rea, who has extended his lead to 74 points. Rea's Kawasaki team-mate Tom Sykes of England finished in third place. The race had to be restarted because of oil on the course after the engine blew on Ayrton Badovini's machine. The red flag worked out well for Davies as he had been back in 11th at the end of the first lap - just before racing was halted. On the restart, Rea quickly made up five places from his starting position, but then a mistake saw him slip back to sixth. Rea, aiming to become the first man to win three WSB titles in a row, battled back and passed Sykes to go second with seven laps to go. But he was unable to challenge a dominant Davies who secured the 23rd win of his World Superbikes career. "The restart worked in my favour. Jonathan made a couple of mistakes while I managed to stay clean," said Davies. Rea said the error involving with brake lever had "messed up" his race. "But I am happy to come away with 40 points from what has not been one of the best tracks for us," said the champion. "Chaz did not put a foot wrong all weekend." Northern Irish rider Eugene Laverty finished seventh a day after walking away from a high-speed crash. The pontiff's small suite of rooms in the Vatican's Santa Marta guest house looks out beyond the enclave's walls on to a small street and the rear of a petrol station. By contrast, a retired Italian cardinal living nearby enjoys a top-floor apartment in an old building with a view out over the Vatican itself. Documents leaked to reporters allege that a charitable foundation paid €200,000 (£140,000) to renovate the apartment that Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone is using as his retirement home. The leaks reveal that the Pope has been unable to persuade many of his Vatican officials to follow his own frugal example. The documents themselves come from the private records of a reform commission set up by the Pope four months into his reign in 2013. The Vatican accuses two former commission members, 54-year-old Monsignor Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda and Italian laywoman Francesca Chaouqui, 33, of leaking the documents. Over the weekend, the gendarmerie placed the pair under arrest. Ms Chaouqui has protested her innocence - "I am not a crow," she protested on Twitter. Two Italian journalists, Gianluigi Nuzzi and Emiliano Fittipaldi, received the leaked documents and have now published books about them. Mr Nuzzi has made a habit of disclosing secret Vatican documents. In 2012 he published His Holiness - a book based on records thought to have been supplied by Pope Benedict's butler. The documents depicted a church hierarchy weighed down by infighting. Mr Nuzzi finds that the current Pope struggles with the same bureaucracy. "Pope Francis fills squares," he says, "but he is not much loved by all the high prelates. You can see that this in the book - in the letters and the documents. So when the Pope wants to carry out his reforms - they're slowed down. The bureaucracy at the Vatican is very powerful. It's able to block change." In his own book, titled Avaricia - or Greed - Emiliano Fittipaldi details episodes of misspending. "The Vatican is still very far from what Francis wants the Church to be - a poor church for the poor," Mr Fittipaldi says. "In fact, I write about a very rich Church that manages money in a very ambiguous way, very far from what Francis would like. The Pope is trying to succeed, but there's strong resistance to him. "One thing is what the Pope and the media say, but behind him there is a Church that does not want to renounce its economic might and its handling of money. That's why the book is called Greed." "Without exaggerating we can say that a large part of our costs are out of control. That is a fact. Spending on staff has grown 30% in five years. This is not right. "An official told me, 'But they come with a bill and we have to pay.' No, we don't pay. If something is done without a tender, without authorisation, it doesn't get paid ... "Our suppliers must always be companies that guarantee honesty and offer fair market prices, for their products and services. And several of them do not guarantee this." Comments made by Pope Francis to senior cardinals on 3 July, according to transcripts published by Gianluigi Nuzzi Two arrests in new Vatican leak scandal Synod sows confusion among Pope's faithful The leaked documents don't point to any wrongdoing by Pope Francis himself, and some Vatican experts argue that this scandal won't stop him from doing his job. "I don't think that it's that important in this regard," says Robert Mickens, editor-in-chief of Catholic magazine Global Pulse. "I think the Pope will be able to delegate running of the Roman Curia much in the same way that he deals with the diocese of Rome. His main goal is to change the attitude and the ethos around the world." One accidental encounter of my own has shown me that the Catholic Church is reluctant to give up at least one of its long-standing spending habits: first-class travel. In March 2013, the Vatican sent Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio (as the Pope then was) a first-class ticket from Buenos Aires to Rome to attend the papal conclave. The cardinal downgraded himself to economy class and made what turned out to be a one-way trip to Rome. Following his installation as Pope, Francis may have hoped that his former colleagues might follow him to the back of the plane. Several weeks ago, I found myself at a check-in desk at Rome's Fiumicino airport. By chance, a number of senior clerics were flying out following the end of the Synod of Bishops in the Vatican. "Is this where I check in for first class?" asked a cardinal from Latin America. Joe Root hit 68 in England's 191-7, with Jason Roy, Alex Hales and Ben Stokes all playing cameos. After Brendon McCullum bludgeoned 35 from 15 balls, New Zealand were well set at 82-2 off eight overs. But collapses of 3-12 in 11 balls and 5-4 in 12 balls saw the Black Caps bowled out for 135 in 16.2 overs, despite Kane Williamson's 57. In an entertaining contest that provided a fitting finale to New Zealand's thrilling tour, a re-energised England that won a record-breaking one-day series 3-2 earned victory in their final match before the Ashes begin on 8 July. They did so at a packed, sun-drenched Old Trafford thanks to another display of unrelenting aggression with the bat and then a fightback with the ball after a lightning New Zealand start. In the face of McCullum's hitting and Williamson's artistry, England were failing to master a pitch that both took spin and required the fast bowlers to vary their pace. McCullum cleared the ropes four times, twice from the first two deliveries of Mark Wood's T20 international debut, only for the Durham seamer to bowl the New Zealand skipper off his pads later in the same over. If that was one problem dealt with for England, they still had to contend with Williamson, who played his part in taking Adil Rashid's loose first over for 16 runs. As Williamson and Ross Taylor added 41 in 26 balls, New Zealand were coasting, especially when wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow dropped a simple chance off Taylor from the bowling of Stokes. But, when Rashid returned to have Taylor held at long-off in the next over, the momentum was reversed. Stokes bowled Colin Munro and had Luke Ronchi skying a ramp shot to the gloves of Bairstow in the same over and, from then on, England did not relent. Dot balls were accumulated, the ground fielding improved and, after Mitchell Santner missed a swing at Wood, a moment of brilliance effectively sealed England 's victory. As New Zealand looked for a single, David Willey swooped in the covers to hit the stumps with a direct hit to remove Williamson. From there, the Black Caps subsided, Willey taking the final two wickets in as many balls to leave the tourists well short of an England total that seemed only slightly above par. A steady flow of wickets prevented the hosts from ever truly breaking the shackles, with Roy, Hales, Billings and Stokes all briefly sparkling around the in-form Root. Roy looked likely to be destructive, dancing to clear the ropes, before he was run out by a poor call from Hales for 23. Hales also threatened before skying the impressive left-arm spin of Santner for 27, leaving the inventive Root to cut, pull and dab his way to a 36-ball half-century. Billings's power helped take 23 off one Nathan McCullum over and, after both he and Root fell to Mitchell McClenaghan, Stokes added the late impetus. By then, though, England already had enough. For the Conservatives, Business Minister Matthew Hancock will visit some of his party's target seats. The Liberal Democrats are launching a £100m prize fund aimed at cutting pollution by developing greener cars. Meanwhile Plaid Cymru is calling for power over major energy projects to be devolved to the Welsh government. The governing body made the decision after far-right Hindu nationalists stormed the Board of Control for Cricket in India offices in Mumbai. Shiv Sena party activists threatened to prevent Pakistani Dar from standing in the fifth one-day international in Chennai on Sunday. Dar is a three-time winner of the ICC's Umpire of the Year award. "Under the present circumstances, it will be unreasonable to expect from Aleem that he will be able to perform his duties to the best of his abilities," an ICC spokesman said. Shiv Sena blames Pakistan for militant attacks in India and is opposed to any engagement with it. A member of the elite panel of ICC umpires, Dar officiated in the first three ODIs and was scheduled to stand in the fifth match in Mumbai on 25 October. South Africa lead the series 2-1. A meeting between India and Pakistan's cricket board chiefs at the Wankhede Stadium was cancelled after the protests. BCCI chief Shashank Manohar was scheduled to meet his Pakistani counterpart Shahryar Khan to discuss India's participation in Pakistan's home series in December. The barrier will be built in Winchester, Hampshire around North Walls and Park Avenue including St Bede School and The Art College. Roy Perry, leader of Hampshire County Council, said it would "provide much needed relief and peace of mind". The area previously flooded in 2000 and 2014. The wall will be constructed in red brick to match existing walls in the area, but its foundation will be constructed out of reinforced concrete to resist water pressures. It is being funded by Hampshire County Council, Winchester City Council, Southampton University, and the Environment Agency. Mr Perry said: "This is a good example of a joined up approach by partners to help protect Winchester residents." Work is expected to start in the summer and be completed at the end of the year. Researchers found 70% of the rhino's genetic diversity had been wiped out over the past 200 years due to hunting and loss of habitat. This means the small number left would be vulnerable to the same diseases. Prof Mike Bruford said moving bulls to new parks to boost diversity could help combat this "unfolding catastrophe". From a population in the 1970s of almost 70,000, there are now about 5,000 black rhinos in the wild - the World Wildlife Fund lists the animal as critically endangered. The animal now only survives in South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. Working with colleagues from universities in South Africa, Kenya, Copenhagen and Chester, Cardiff's team compared the genes of living and dead rhinos by visiting museums and herds in the wild. They found that 44 of 64 genetic lineages no longer exist, which poses a threat to the future of the animal. Prof Bruford, from Cardiff University's School of Biosciences, said: "The magnitude of this loss in genetic diversity really did surprise us - we did not expect it to be so profound. If you don't have genetic diversity, you can't evolve. "The new genetic data we have collected will allow us to identify populations of priority for conservation, giving us a better chance of preventing the species from total extinction. "You could bring a new bull in or swap bulls between parks - you know they're not related so you're bringing fresh genes into the park." Other suggestions to help conserve the black rhino includes moving animals together to make it cheaper to protect the dwindling population. The research 'Extinctions, genetic erosion and conservation options for the black rhinoceros' has been published in Scientific Reports. In a New York Times report, Dr Grigory Rodchenkov alleges dozens of athletes, including at least 15 medallists at the 2014 Winter Olympics, were part of an extensive state-run doping programme. Skier Alexander Legkov and bobsledder Alexander Zubkov insist they are clean. The International Olympic Committee said the claims must be investigated. But Legkov, who won gold and silver medals in Sochi, said legal action "needed" to be taken over the allegations. "It is complete rubbish and we need to stop it," he said. "I performed honestly. My Olympic victory was not accidental." Zubkov, who won two gold medals in Sochi, added: "It is all nonsense and slander directed at Russian sportsmen who took part in the Olympics. It is unacceptable." Rodchenkov described a massive, tightly organised doping operation involving Russia's security service and the sports ministry. Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko has condemned the allegations as "a continuation of the information attack on Russian sport". Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov added they were "unsubstantiated" and the "slander of a defector". Former Russian anti-doping agency worker Vitaly Stepanov had also claimed on the CBS network's 60 Minutes programme that undercover Russian intelligence agents posed as anti-doping staff to cover up cheating at Sochi. The BBC and the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) have been unable to independently verify the allegations made in the programme. Russian athletes have already been banned from international competition by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the sport's world governing body, after a Wada commission report alleged "state-sponsored" doping in the country. Rodchenkov left his post after the report was published in November 2015.

Leith, who will fill Mary Berry's shoes on Bake Off, said she "doesn't want to do a Chris Evans" - referring to his short-lived stint as host of Top Gear. On his BBC Radio 2 show, Evans revealed she had emailed him to apologise. Leith will judge Bake Off with Paul Hollywood, with Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig as the new co-presenters. Before her appointment was confirmed, Leith said: "It's a bit scary following Mary, but I don't want to do a Chris Evans." Evans told listeners: "I thought, well, that's fair enough. "So I said on the air on Tuesday, if you want any tips about the potential pitfalls, as long as you cook me lunch, Prue, because let's face it, it's not going to be the worst lunch in the world, we can have a chat about that. "She emailed me after the show. She said, 'What a silly thing to say.' "I said, 'No, it's the perfect thing to say because a) it got you publicity for the new show and b) it's absolutely right, by the way!" Evans took over Top Gear with Matt LeBlanc after Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May left. But he only lasted one series. Leith, Fielding and Toksvig will join Bake Off when the new series begins on Channel 4 this autumn. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.
